Chapter 12 Taobao
"We've arrived at Jiefang North Road!" the conductor shouted to everyone, "If you want to get off, come forward!"

Li Yingtang stood up and squeezed through. After getting off the bus, he saw a newsstand and walked up to it and asked, "Excuse me, do you sell city maps?"

"Yes, 20 cents a copy."

"So expensive? Can it be cheaper?" Li Yingtang bargained.

"It's not cheap, buy it if you want."

Li Yingtang: "." A ticket seller, a newspaper seller, each one was more stubborn than the other. Who spoiled them? "Give me one!" She paid.

The newspaper seller glanced at her and gave her a map.

Li Yingtang opened it and looked.

The name was roughly the same as the Yanjing she knew, especially near the ancient city, where the iconic architectural signs were almost replicated.

So, she either went back in time.

Or in a parallel universe.

Does this mean that she can find her young relatives here?

Think of this.

She was so excited that her hands were shaking, and she took the map and went to the location of the old house.

Looking at the unfamiliar courtyard and environment, it felt like being poured with a basin of cold water.

a long time.

Sighed deeply.

"Let's go to the hospital where Xian worked."

Li Yingtang adjusted his mood and set off, arriving at the hospital, Yanjing Second Hospital, an hour later.

There is no residential building within a radius of 500 meters, only a large crematorium.

Oh my god!

He knew it the first time she lied.

It was only after saying it the second time that she was exposed.

Fortunately, he did not continue to ask, otherwise she would have been exposed.

She calmed down and walked into the hospital, searching the photo wall.

We found a doctor named Gao Qing who had been to the hospital at the same time as Qin Xian.

She failed his department and went in when her name was called.

She took off her hat and scarf, revealing her delicate and bright little face.

Gao Qing couldn't help but take another look: "Where do you feel uncomfortable?"

"I'm not feeling unwell. I just want to ask you about someone. Qin Xian, the Qin in Qin Shi Huang, with a "San" under the "Yu" radical. Do you know him?" Li Yingtang went straight to the point.

Gao Qing was stunned: "Who are you to him?"

When Li Yingtang heard this, he realized he had found the right person! "I am..." If someone told his father about his wife, and his father asked for confirmation, wouldn't she be exposed?

After thinking for a while, he said, "His assistant went into the city to do some work today. He asked me to stop by his house to pick up something, but I lost the address he gave me. I thought that since he used to work here, his colleagues should know where he lives."

Gao Qing's eyes flickered: "I don't know where he lives. How is he doing in the countryside?"

"Good."

Gao Qing looked her over and said, "You don't look like a medical student. Are you his blind date? Why did you come here to find out about him?"

Li Yingtang's eyes moved cunningly, and he simply nodded: "You are right! What kind of person is he?"

"Don't be fooled by his handsome appearance. He is irresponsible, self-righteous, and ambitious. Otherwise, with his education, he would not have been transferred to the countryside and ruined his life."

Li Yingtang sensed a strong malice towards Qin Xian from the other party's words.

It seems to reveal the facts, but in fact it is belittling and suppressing.

She clenched her little fists and smiled at him, as pretty as a summer flower: "Then I don't have a partner, can you introduce me to one. Someone like you will do." As she spoke, she threw him a coquettish look.

Gao Qing was shocked and astonished. He stuttered for no reason: "Can I?"

Li Yingtang's smile faded: "You've become a slut! There is no mirror at home, so look at yourself when you pee and see if you are worthy!" She opened the door and left, leaving behind a gust of fragrant wind.

.........

Li Yingtang left the hospital and unfolded the map.

It took most of the day to find a small house with a rusty door lock.

Looking out into the yard through the crack in the door.

Dead leaves were flying everywhere, and the door of the main room was shaking as the north wind blew.

The house was very run-down. She asked the neighbor lady who owned the house as a tenant.

The old lady said, "A young man lived here two years ago, but I don't know where he went."

"Don't you have any relatives in your later life?"

"He said he was an orphan."

Li Yingtang: "He's gone, and the house is just left there with no one to take it."

The old lady looked around, put her hand to her mouth and said in a low voice: "A haunted house. It is said that a woman died of childbirth in it. It is very evil. You can see that there is a hospital and a crematorium nearby. Everyone is trying to avoid it. Who would want to get together here?"

Li Yingtang was very satisfied.

This place is just right for her to settle down!

She will buy a house here in the future, get established and then move out.

If we can contact the homeowner by then, we will compensate him with a generous amount of money as an apology.

She silently memorized the house number of the intersection, thanked the aunt, and left.

I had a bowl of noodles at a nearby noodle shop.

I bought a flashlight from a convenience store and headed to Jingyuan with a map.

This place is marked on the map as a flea market. In her opinion, it is a place for shopping.

Grandpa used to resell antiques when he was young and often talked about his childhood experiences with her.

According to my grandfather's description, the 1980s were full of opportunities.

As long as you catch one, you can turn things around and become a superior person.

And she only needs a small opportunity to be nourished for a while.

to the place.

Li Yingtang looked around and saw an open space of two or three acres surrounded by brick walls. Merchants built simple shops on this open space.

There were many pedestrians, and Li Yingtang mixed in, looking at each house.

There are so many kinds of second-hand goods that it is dizzying to look at.

Ceramics, calligraphy and paintings, lacquerware, embroidery, bronzes, Buddha statues, and gilt objects were all exquisite, but unfortunately she didn't know how to identify them.

Only jade knows a thing or two.

Therefore, after taking the photo, turn on the light and take a closer look.

"Hey! Do you want to buy that little girl? If not, don't shine a broken lamp at her."

Li Yingtang held down her scarf and argued with him: "You old fat man, how can I tell if it's real or fake without a photo?"

The stall owner was about to roll up his sleeves and hit her, but when he saw her appearance, he gritted his teeth and said, "If it weren't for your beauty, I would slap you in the face without hesitation."

Li Yingtang stretched her head out: "Come, slap me in the face. I, your aunt, punched Zhen Guanxi and kicked Jiang Menshen. That's not a joke!"

Stall owner: “.”

Li Yingtang waited for a long time but saw no movement from the other party. He snorted coldly and walked away with his head held high.

The next family continues to light up the photo.

After walking around for a while, she finally picked out a piece of Wu Shi Pai that she liked.

The oiliness and warmth are very good, and the fineness is acceptable.

Turn on the light to look at the structure inside. Although there are black spots, this is normal for jade.

But she did not take it. Instead, she picked up the white jade bracelet next to it, held it up, put it on, and shone the light on it from inside to outside.

"Girl, after all this time of fiddling with it, are you going to buy it or not?"

Li Yingtang then put down the bracelet and said, "I'll buy it. How much?"

"Ten dollars."

Li Yingtang: "Less."

"Nine dollars, no less."

Li Yingtang held the bracelet tightly, unwilling to let go: "It's still too expensive, how about three dollars? I only have three dollars."

"Since you're pretty, I'll take a small loss. Three dollars is three dollars."

Li Yingtang: "Your answer is so straightforward, I am a little afraid to buy it. It can't be fake, right? One dollar."

"Hey! If you go to a regular market with three dollars, you can buy a jade bracelet, or even a pendant. What can you buy with one dollar? Are you here to cause trouble? If you don't buy anything, don't delay our business."
