MTL - After Two Lifetimes I Was Reborn Back Inside A Book-Chapter 19 wear back the nineteenth day
Yan City is basically in a square shape, spreading from the center to all sides, and the places close to the neighboring provinces and cities are considered suburbs. However, although the suburbs are not remote, for example, the suburbs on the southwestern sides may not be comparable to the city center, but compared to some second- and third-tier cities. The downtown area of the city may be more lively and prosperous.
The only exception is the eastern suburbs. It is not like the northern suburbs with high mountains and clear waters for sightseeing, nor is it crowded with people like the southwestern suburbs. The large fields and undeveloped land are closer to the state of some wealthy rural areas in China, with fewer people and more land, and the road goes east. The more difficult it is to drive, and there are very few vehicles passing by.
No. 213 is the only bus that can drive from the urban area to the eastern suburbs, but even so, the car will only stop on the main road outside the village, and if you go in, you can only rely on your private car or your own two legs.
When Jiang Chen got out of the car, he saw a wide road and a row of small three-story buildings. Although it was not prosperous, it was neat and lively. It didn't look like a village, until he walked along the small building and came to this street. At the end of the road, enter from the fork road, and after dozens of meters, you can see the continuous fields.
Jiang Chen stopped at the intersection for a while, waited for a farmer to pass by, asked questions, and followed his directions. It took nearly half an hour before he reached the Donghua Village he was looking for.
Compared with the field just now, this place is a bit more lively. The self-built houses are not far away, and there are children with flushed faces playing on the side, and talking and playing house with the big dog lying beside her.
It is around two o'clock in the afternoon, and it is the hottest time. There are no farmers working in the field, and only this one child is playing nearby. Donghua Village looks bigger than he imagined. If you want to find here aimlessly I don't know how much time will be wasted for an ancient coin that just appeared today.
Jiang Chen raised his eyes and looked into the distance. There were patches of green, forming waves with the breeze, coming layer by layer to one place, with the moist breath of the combination of soil and fresh air, which made people feel refreshed.
Strolling under the idyllic scenery, the thought of picking up money has faded. Although the family is short of money now, it is not that there is no way to solve it. Whether he has the ancient coin does not have much influence on him. In addition to nothing to do in the afternoon, it was more of a whim.
His mind became weak, and Jiang Chen didn't intend to leave immediately. He lived in a bustling city for two lifetimes, and rarely saw such scenery. In the interstellar era, he could only see it from the ancient pictures of his brain. Now that you are here, you should appreciate it a few more times before leaving.
Not far away, a fat cat came slowly, with a sparrow in its mouth, raised its head when passing by Jiang Chen, and walked past him again.
Jiang Chen didn't care, he raised his legs and walked forward.
After walking not far, he heard the immature child's voice yelling something, with a local accent and eagerness, Jiang Chen understood half of it, and guessed the other half when he turned around and saw cats flying and dogs jumping.
The fat cat that just passed Jiang Chen was fighting with the big dog that was lying next to the little girl before. Although the big dog had an advantage in size, it was not as agile as the cat at all. The little girl in red didn't know how to hide, and she was not much taller than a dog, but she opened her teeth and claws to help.
Jiang Chen was startled, raised his legs and ran over.
He was tall and long-legged, and he finally lifted the little girl out before she tried to join the battlefield. The little girl was not afraid of strangers when she hugged his neck, her chubby face was full of eagerness, and she waved her short fingers to point at the fighters who were still fighting. Cat and Dog: "Bad dogs beat Laifu! Laifu Laifu! Big brother save Laifu!"
Jiang Chen took her back a few steps, his eyes fell on the cat and dog, and after turning his eyes around a few times, he realized that the cat was called Goudan and the dog was called Laifu.
"Brother! Brother!" Seeing that he didn't help, the little girl twisted her body and struggled: "Laifu!"
Jiang Chen hugged her tightly, rubbed her head, and coaxed her gently: "Laifu is playing a game with Goudan, they didn't fight, don't be afraid."
The little girl was taken aback, looked at him ignorantly, then turned to look at the fierce cat and dog, her big eyes were full of doubts, she seemed to be thinking, should she believe what she saw or what the big brother said of.
After thinking for a long time, she felt that adults would not lie to children, so she felt relieved and asked in a childlike voice, "Brother, did Laifu and Goudan play house?"
Jiang Chen nodded without changing his face: "Yes."
"Will that brother spend time with Miao Miao?"
Jiang Chen hugged her hand for a while, then smiled and said, "Brother is an adult, and an adult doesn't play house."
"Oh..." The little girl was a little disappointed, her head was buried on his shoulder, and the chubby finger pointed to the ground: "Miao Miao wants to play house, Miao Miao is the boss, and Laifu is the guest, but Laifu won't give money to Miaomiao. Miao can't speak, and no one buys the bowls made by Miao Miao."
Jiang Chen looked in the direction she pointed. It was a distance away from the battlefield, so everything was still in good condition. There were a few piled stones, and there was a lump of strange-shaped mud on it, which might be from the little girl's mouth. There is a banknote under the "bowl", which should be the money for her playing with the big dog.
banknotes?
Jiang Chen's gaze, which had already moved away, suddenly stopped on the banknote that was pressed by the mud. The exposed corner was very similar to the one he had seen in the hands of a certain collector, and it was exactly the same as the ancient coin that the boss picked up. Two votes in silver from Hubei Official Money Bureau.
"Play house?"
"That's right!" The little girl shook her legs, she was very comfortable being held in Jiang Chen's arms without worrying about cats and dogs fighting, and she said with a bright smile, "Miao Miao and Laifu are playing with each other's money!"
play house...
Jiang Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he probably guessed how that person picked up the ancient coin. It was estimated that the child took it out to play and carelessly didn't take it back, and then was picked up by a passing person.
It's just that the child doesn't know that the value of the ancient coin is normal, and the adults in her family let her play with the ancient coin casually?
"Miao Miao, do your parents know that you brought out the money you played with?"
"Grandpa knows!" Miao Miao blinked her big eyes: "Miao Miao has no parents, only grandpa, brother, have you played house with me?"
Jiang Chen frowned, guessing that the elderly in the child's family probably didn't know the price of the ancient coin.
"Where is your home? My brother will take you back."
Miao Miao pointed with her hand, without the slightest precaution: "Over there!"
Jiang Chen sighed inwardly, grabbed her chubby hand, and said earnestly: "In the future, when someone asks you, you can't just tell a stranger where his home is, you know?" At the end he frightened her: "If it's a bad person, you'll take it You take it away."
Miao Miao was puzzled: "Is brother a stranger?"
Jiang Chen: "Brother is, anyone who doesn't know your grandfather is a stranger."
"You'll meet Grandpa later!" Little Miaomiao had her own logic: "And good-looking people are good people!"
Jiang Chen: ...
At this time, the cat-dog battle also stopped. The cat dug out the sparrow it had just held in its mouth from nowhere, and walked away with its small head up in a victorious attitude. The girl begged for comfort.
Jiang Chen put the little girl down, and the little girl hugged the big dog and stroked it, then took Jiang Chen's hand and said, "Brother, let's go back."
After speaking, she lifted her legs and left, completely forgetting the ancient coins she put on the stone.
Jiang Chen had no choice but to turn around and pick up the banknote. The little girl remembered his action, picked up her clay bowl, followed Jiang Chen step by step, and arrived at her house while pointing the way.
"Grandpa, Grandpa!" The little girl shouted excitedly as soon as she reached the door: "I'm back! I brought a big brother back!"
An old man with a hunched back came out from inside. His face was wrinkled and dark-skinned, but his eyes were clear and kind. Hearing what the little girl said, he first touched his granddaughter's head, and then raised his head and smiled at Jiang Chen. He smiled: "Young man, who are you?"
"My name is Jiang Chen." Jiang Chen said, "Just now I saw Miao Miao playing alone by the side of the road, so I sent her back."
"Thank you." The old man smiled and said, "Come in for a glass of water?"
Jiang Chen shook his head. The little girl pulled the old man's clothes and said, "Just now Laifu played house with Goudan. Grandpa, it turns out that dogs and cats can also play house."
The old man thought of the most vicious cat in the village, and quickly grabbed his granddaughter to look at it, and asked, "Did it hurt you?"
Miaomiao was puzzled: "I thought Laifu was fighting with Goudan, and I wanted to help, but my brother hugged me, so I didn't help. My brother said they were playing house, would they get hurt?"
The old man was taken aback, and looked at Jiang Chen with more gratitude: "Young man, thank you, I really thank you just now, the cat in the village is so fierce, not only beats dogs, but also scratches people, if Miao Miao is scratched by it If I bite, I don’t know what to do.”
Jiang Chen shook his head, but still reminded: "Miao Miao is still young, you should try not to let her play outside alone in the future."
The old man smiled, with a bitter expression on his face: "I also want to look at her, but every afternoon I have to water the fields, and there is no one else at home, so I can only let her play for a while, nothing happened before, this time Thank you so much."
"You're welcome." Jiang Chen raised his hand and handed the ancient coin to the old man: "Old man, this is Miao Miao's family money, do you know this money?"
"Of course I know." The old man nodded and said with a smile: "How many are there at home? The old man at home left them, but they can't be used now, so I just put them away and let Miao Miao play games."
Sure enough, Jiang Chen took the ancient coin and simply explained the value of the ancient coin to the old man.
The old man stared wide-eyed and couldn't believe his ears: "How much did you say? How much can this money be exchanged for?"
"Right now, a pair of silver bills from the Hubei Official Money Bureau can fetch at least 600,000 yuan, but if you don't rush and slowly find buyers who collect ancient coins, you may be able to sell for more than 700,000 yuan."
"Seven, seven hundred thousand?" The old man repeated several times before asking, "Seven hundred thousand is not seventy yuan?"
