Seeing that Li Sheng didn't speak immediately, Li Chunlai was a little nervous.
He was hoping to sell this treasure for a good price so that he could marry a woman with a big butt and give birth to a few white and fat boys.
If this thing wasn't valuable, then Li Chunlai's dream would be ruined.
"This is a treasure from an ancient tomb. It's definitely a genuine treasure.”
Li Chunlai couldn't help but say.
As they spoke, the shop owner served wine, dishes, and tea.
Li Sheng was already thirsty.
At this moment, he couldn't care less. He poured himself a glass of water and gulped it down.
In an instant, he felt a refreshing and comfortable feeling rise from the depths of his body and spread throughout his entire body.
Eating and drinking was indeed the most important thing in life.
This cup of water had brought him a pleasant enjoyment.
Li Sheng picked up his chopsticks, quickly picked up some food, and wolfed it down.
Perhaps Li Sheng's gruff behavior had infected Li Chunlai.
He didn't expect the people in the city to be so rude when eating. After he came back to his senses, he immediately joined the ranks of the people who were fighting for food.
After a round of dancing chopsticks and dishes, the two of them finally filled their stomachs a little, and their movements slowly became more refined.
Li Chunlai relaxed a lot and continued to talk about the origin of the embroidered shoes.
Their hometown suffered from droughts all year round, and this year, it was a major drought.
Some people said that this was caused by the drought. It would only rain if the drought was beaten.
The so-called drought demon was a legendary monster that could cause drought. It was a mutated zombie.
In the old days, the villagers believed that Hanba was a manifestation of the dead within a hundred days of death.
Due to the change in Feng Shui, the corpse would not rot after death, and no grass would grow on the grave. Water would seep out of the grave and become a drought demon. The drought demon would fetch water from people's homes at night.
It would only rain when the drought demon was burned.
In the past, the custom of fighting drought demons was very common.
In some remote places, whenever there was a drought, people would dig up new graves, drag out the corpses, build dry bone piles, and burn the bones.
This was the case for Li Chunlai's village.
They did not know where Hanba was either. They only heard that there was an ownerless coffin in the abandoned graveyard in the east of the village.
They did not know which family it was from, so everyone guessed that there might be Hanba there. They went to the barren grave together and opened the coffin lid.
After opening it, he saw a female corpse lying in the coffin. The clothes and jewelry on her body were very well preserved, but they were not modern clothes. It was an ancient corpse.
Next to the female corpse was a monster that was about seven inches long and covered in green fur.
Village Chief said that it was a drought demon and must be killed and burned.
A few brave villagers caught the monster, nailed it to death with a knife, and whipped it with a whip.
The monster emitted a lot of black gas and finally stopped moving. Only then did he burn it.
Strangely enough, just as the monster was killed and burned, faint thunder sounded from the sky. The weather suddenly changed, and it seemed that it would rain heavily soon.
At this moment, everyone was cheering and jumping for joy. Those who were skeptical initially also believed that they must have hit Hanba. They hit the right person.
The village chief also said that the woman in the coffin was also a disaster.
The mother and child demons were most likely born after the woman was buried in the grave. The child became a drought demon.
These words made people feel scared and embarrassed.
The village chief ordered Li Chunlai to stay behind and burn the coffin to prevent future trouble.
After everyone left, Li Chunlai brought over some firewood. Before he could start burning it, he was chased away by a burly man from the village.
It turned out that Ma Dadan had long taken a fancy to the treasure on the female corpse, but there were too many people before, so he did not dare to make a move.
He took off the jewelry and clothes from the female corpse and put them in a box. He casually stuffed an embroidered shoe into Li Chunlai's hand and told him not to make a sound.
Li Chunlai did not dare to offend Ma Dadan, so he could only swallow his anger and agree.
Unexpectedly, on the same night, Ma Dadan's house was struck by lightning.
The house was reduced to ruins, and the family of four lost their lives.
Li Chunlai hid the embroidered shoes and didn't dare to make a sound. After a long time, when the limelight was over, he brought the embroidered shoes to the city and wanted to sell them for a good price.
He drank a lot of wine and spent a lot of effort to explain the origin of the embroidered shoes.
Li Sheng opened his mouth.
"Your shoes are indeed of the highest quality. They have been preserved for hundreds of years and are still in such good condition. However, the antique shop was a comprehensive one.”
"The more complete the set, the more valuable it is. If we can gather a pair of shoes, the price will be high.”
When Li Chunlai heard this, he looked troubled.
Li Sheng knew that the time had come, so he didn't waste any more time and extended three fingers.
"I see that you're an honest person, so I won't say anything more. Be straightforward.”
All Li Sheng had on him was the 1,000 yuan he had just borrowed from Big Golden Tooth.
He still had to save this money to buy a place to settle down.
Staying in a hotel, renting a house, eating, and wearing clothes all cost money.
He had transmigrated here empty-handed, so he didn't dare to squander it casually.
"My price is definitely the highest in the city. I'll give you my bottom line. I don't know how much these shoes can be sold for.”
"If you feel that you're losing out, leave me your contact address.”
"In the future, if this pair of shoes doesn't sell for a good price, then it's fine.”
"If you sell it for a high price, I will definitely send the money I earn to you. We'll split it fifty-fifty, and each of us will get half.”
Li Chunlai nodded in agreement, not knowing whether it was because Li Sheng's bid satisfied him or because his words worked.
"I also thought that these shoes were worth at most 300 yuan. These days, I've been to all the stalls in the antique market. The most they offered me was 50 yuan.”
Li Sheng couldn't help but laugh.
The Antique Market was a market for killing. It relied on one's eyesight, experience, and eloquence.
With Li Chunlai's peasant attire, it was already a blessing that he could bid 50 yuan.
However, Li Chunlai looked like he was trying to curry favor with them, but there was a hint of intelligence hidden in his bones that was difficult to detect.
The experts in the antique market took turns to trick him for a few days, but none of them were able to do anything.
He was also a talent!
