Rebirth 81: Being forced into marriage by my sister’s best friend at the beginning

The statue's posture is dignified and upright, with one foot standing upright, the other foot crossed and crossed, the right hand pinching the lotus fingers, and the left hand hanging at the waist.

Looking at the cassock on it, the texture appears relatively rough.

The texture appears unclear and the wrinkles are unnatural.

It was obvious that the sculptor got impatient at the end of the carving and just worked on it casually. This thing is not worth anything at all.

Because Lin Ran was wearing a mask, the stall owner couldn't see Lin Ran's expression. He just saw Lin Ran looking at the statue, so he smiled and said: "Brother, this is an Arhat sculpture from the late Ming Dynasty. If you like it, you can take 200 yuan." Walk."

Just this product costs 200 yuan.

Lin Ran even more admired the stall owner's ability to pull out random nonsense. He had already named the Arhat sculptures from the late Ming Dynasty, and there was no mark on them. How could he say they were from the late Ming Dynasty?

"Does this only cost [-]?" Lin Ran had a plan in mind and asked deliberately.

The stall owner was already prepared for Lin Ran to make a counter-offer. He had already said one hundred and fifty and swallowed it back.

He has been setting up a stall for many years and has seen people bargaining, but this is the first time he has seen someone take the initiative to set the price too high.

"What do you mean?" the stall owner asked.

"I think this wood carving can be sold for at least five hundred dollars." Lin Ran said boldly.

In fact, there are many people who deliberately raise prices to ridicule stall owners, and stall owners have also experienced this.

But listening to Lin Ran's tone, it seemed that he was serious.

The stall owner was a little confused and asked: "Brother, can you tell me how you judge?"

The so-called picking up leaks actually means picking up goods that the stall owner has overlooked.

Only when the stall owner sells blindly will people find something to pick up.

It was the first time he had seen the masked guy in front of him telling him that he was mistaken.

However, he certainly wouldn't mind if he could make more money.

So he asked Lin Ran how he identified it.

Lin Ran did not answer directly, but smiled and said: "You will know in a while."

After saying that, he stood up and prepared to leave.

The stall owner watched Lin Ran leave in stunned silence, cursing in his mind: "This guy is crazy."

He felt that he had been tricked by Lin Ran, so he was going to go back to greet the other two guests.

But not long after Lin Ran left, the two men stood up and followed Lin Ran without saying a word.

Seeing their aggressive looks, the stall owner thought to himself: "The guy wearing the mask looks like he's going to get slapped."

He also found two other people who followed Lin Ran.

But the most important thing about doing things here is to mind your own business.

Lin Ran did not leave the ghost market directly. His goal had not been achieved yet. In fact, he was just testing whether the other two people were following him.

Because wearing a mask better concealed his true vision, Lin Ran caught a glimpse of the other two people following him out of the corner of his eye.

Whether it was for wealth or revenge, Lin Ran would not let them go.

But now he has to determine how many people the other party is. If there are only two people, he can handle it himself.

If there are many people on the other side, it is better to call Guan Yun.

Speaking of which, it was really inconvenient not to have a mobile phone these days. He could only transmit his location to Guan Yun through a signal transmitter.

It is said that this thing was used by Guan Yun in the army before.

Guan Yun was considered dead at the time. If he kept using this tool, it might expose that Guan Yun was still alive, so Lin Ran tried his best not to use it unless he was bald in a crisis.

So Lin Ran continued to wander around the stalls. As long as he was not alone, he didn't have to worry about the other party causing trouble in a crowded place.

Every place has its own rules. If you are robbed in the antique market, others will pretend not to see it. Who will dare to come to the ghost market to buy things in the future?

Under the unspoken rules of the rivers and lakes, if someone robs here, someone will definitely stand up to maintain order.

Moreover, as long as he waits until dawn and leaves with the large army, he will be safe.

Lin Ran then wandered around the stalls, came to another stall, and played with the small items on the stall.

There really aren’t any good things to see in the ghost market now.

In the past, ten counterfeit products were paired with one genuine product to set up a stall, but now it’s better, and only fake products can be seen.

The stall owners who set up stalls here obviously don't care about their reputation. Anyway, after the Mid-Autumn Festival, Dongshi Valley will not be open at night.

If you can sell one, it’s one.

I haven't seen a chance to make a move.

The two men took action separately.

One of them turned back to the stall where he was.

He directly picked up the wooden Buddha statue that Lin Ran was looking at just now and asked, "Boss, how much does it cost?"

The stall owner felt a little unhappy when he saw that it was the same guy again, so he casually replied: "Didn't that guy just say it was 500 yuan?"

He didn't know why this guy came back to ask for a price.

The man's face darkened and he said, "Didn't you just say 200 yuan?"

"That's the price I give to others." The stall owner looked like he didn't want to buy it.

He has seen many people like this, who follow others and try to catch them.

"It's 200 yuan, will you sell it?" the man said.

The stall owner saw his fierce look and couldn't help but feel wary.

I have indeed seen everyone in the ghost market. Most of them are well-behaved, but there are also some restless ones.

For example, he knew very well that the two people in front of him would follow Lin Ran, and they were definitely interested in what he bought.

I followed him just now because I was worried that Lin Ran would leave directly.

Now one person turned back and the other followed Lin.

Being targeted by such a person is very troublesome.

Although the boss also wanted to sell more money, according to his judgment, the wood carving would only cost 200 yuan at most.

Of course, these are ghost market prices, and the price may go up a bit if placed in an antique store.

It's just that they can't sell it for various reasons, so they have to set up street stalls here.

The stall owner frowned and looked at the man in front of him with disgust.

"It's said that it's a wood carving from the late Ming Dynasty, so it costs at least 300 yuan." The stall owner emphasized again.

The man in black saw the stall owner looking reluctant.

Recalling that Lin Ran's appraisal results were exactly the same as those of his elder brother, he should be a knowledgeable person.

He said it was worth five hundred, so it should be worth five hundred.

This is still the market price, it should be worth more if you sell it.

Moreover, his eldest brother's request to him was to make a quick decision and buy the things back quickly, and they had to continue to follow him.

So he gritted his teeth, counted out 300 yuan and handed it to the stall owner.

"Okay, pack the things for me."

The stall owner took out a black cloth bag, packed the wood carvings, and handed them to the man.

When the man was about to leave, he said, "You know the rules of East Stone Valley, right?"

"What rules?"

"If someone asks you who bought it? You know how to answer."

The stall owner smiled coldly: "Don't worry, I don't know you. Even if others have problems, I don't know how to respond."

"That's good." The man nodded, turned around and left with his things.
