Chapter 321 Suburb
I frowned. "Wang Da Chuan said that tomorrow’s outing will be very dangerous, and the Iron Hat Mountain we are going to is not a peaceful place. He was worried that something might happen to the students and teachers, so he wanted me to go to the pawnshop to retrieve my things."
Jian Wei smacked her lips and said, "It can’t be that scary can it? I just finished such a huge task yesterday, why is it happening again?" Why do you have to go to such a remote and desolate place to go for an outing? "
"I’m not sure about that, we can’t stop the school’s decision. I heard Wang Da Chuan say that he actually had an opinion with the school, but they don’t believe him, so he can only handle the upcoming danger according to his own thoughts."
"However, Wang Da Chuan should be a capable person. You saw what happened yesterday. He is indeed very powerful. It’s not wrong for you to listen to his arrangements." Jevy comforted me.
I was still a little unhappy. "But what I was wondering was, why did that box insist on me taking it back? If he had a ticket, wouldn’t it be better to get it back? "No matter what it is, you have to tell me. This old fellow is really cunning." "
"Don’t be angry, your master might be testing you. It’s not a bad thing to let you gain more experience. That’s right, I’ve lived in this city for so many years, but I’ve never heard of any Eastern Street pawnshop. I’ve walked this street many times and bought many cosmetics products and clothes, but I’ve never seen any pawnshop before."
When she said this, I felt the same way. She often passed by the pawnshop on the east side of the street. I had never seen any pawnshop before.
But since Wang Da Chuan said there was a pawnshop there, then he would go and take a look. If not, it wouldn’t be too late to come back and settle the score.
This is a commercial street, and during the holidays, there are crowds of people everywhere. There are even people lining up to eat a meal, and it is very troublesome, so other than passing by, I rarely come here. Quite a few housewives and girls are willing to come here to shop.
Jian Wei was really excited as she continuously drifted behind me, telling me the history of the East Street evolution. She told me which shop sold better clothes, which store sold genuine jewelry, and which store imported the original cosmetics.
That’s why men don’t want to go shopping with women. You can’t stand a woman talking in your ear about things you don’t care about, even if she’s a ghost.
I quickened my pace and reached the end of East Street. I looked left and right, but I couldn’t find the pawnshop. I asked a few people, all of them saying that they didn’t know where the pawnshop was.
"Sh * t, Wang Da Chuan lied to me again! Damn you, you tricked me into coming here for nothing!" I was so indignant that I wanted to go back and get even with him.
However, Jian Wei said, "Don’t go, then isn’t the pawnshop right in front of you?" Nonsense, why can’t I see it? " I whispered to myself.
Jian Wei said in annoyance, "The shop across from you is the East Street pawnshop. Why can’t you see it?"
I looked at the plaque on the opposite shop and said unhappily, "Don’t tease me, this is an antique shop. How could it be a pawnshop?" Do you think I can’t read? "
Jian Wei said, "The sign of that shop clearly says’ East Street Pawnshop ’. Why can’t you recognize it?"
I was about to go crazy. I almost shouted, "The signboard clearly says East Street antique shop, where is the pawnshop? Are you insane?"
"We must have a mental disorder. Why don’t we ask the boss and see what he has to say?"
Of course I don’t mind. What kind of shop is it anyway?
The shopkeeper was a young man with a square face, high cheekbones, and bright eyes. When he saw me enter, he was first startled, perhaps he did not expect a high school student to come to the shop, so he asked, "Little brother, what do you want to buy? It’s fine to just take a casual look. "
I straightforwardly asked, "May I ask if you’re selling antiques or pawnshops?"
The young man was stunned. He sized me up and asked, "How do you know that we can do pawnshop business?"
I didn’t know how to reply. After all, Jian Wei insisted that this store was the East Street pawnshop, but how could a ghost’s words be used as evidence? If I told him the truth, she would definitely laugh at me.
"Yes, it was a friend of mine who said it. She said that your shop’s signboard had the words East Street Pawnshop on it, but I only saw East Street’s antique shop. I don’t know if one of us saw wrongly, so I came here to ask."
Surprisingly, the young man remained calm. After pausing for a moment, he asked, "Your friend isn’t a person from our Yang World, right?"
These words gave me a big shock, but I still didn’t dare to say it directly. I only ambiguously replied, "So what if I am, so what if I am?"
"Hur hur." That was the only word that came out of the young man’s mouth. He stretched out his hand to shake mine and said, "Hello, my name is Qin Feng. I’m the owner of the pawnshop on the East Street. Do you need any pawnbroker or ransom items?"
"Oh god, so this really is a pawnshop on the east street." I handed the pawned ticket over to Qin Feng. His expression changed drastically as if he was forcefully suppressing his excitement as he muttered to himself, "It’s been three hundred years, someone finally came to take it away."
Qin Feng suddenly became enthusiastic and told me to sit down. Afterwards, he ordered a waiter to get me some tea and water, which was rather attentive. I said embarrassedly, "Big brother, you don’t have to be so polite with me. I’m here to retrieve something for someone else. I’ll immediately leave after taking something."
"Don’t. Meeting each other is fate. We’re friends at first sight. We should have a good chat." Qin Feng was full of smiles as he handed me a cigarette. I immediately rejected him: "I don’t smoke, sorry about that."
Qin Feng lit one himself and exhaled a few smoke rings. He then asked, "Are you a student?"
"Yeah, I was in my second year of high school in the city."
"A high school, not bad."
"I’m just messing around. I don’t have any thoughts about the future. Let’s talk about it step by step."
Just like that, they chatted for a long time, but Qin Feng still didn’t talk about that box. Since he still wanted to keep me to eat, I became a little anxious and asked, "When will that box be given to me?"
Qin Feng smiled happily and said, "Don’t be anxious, little brother. Your box has been left in the pawn shop for too long and is almost out of date. We need to go to the storeroom and check it first before we can give you the item."
"How can I not be anxious? I sneaked out during class. It’s almost time." From time to time, I took out my cell phone to check the time, but Qin Feng was still acting leisurely, so I was not in a hurry.
