I Have Quirky Notes

Chen You wandered aimlessly on the streets of K City, and at some point, he came to a place similar to a trading market.

On the gate of this market, there is also the words "Zhengfeng Trading Center".

At first glance, the whole street here is full of old shops, which look very old. There are people setting up stalls on both sides of the road. Hundreds of people gather here, and it looks particularly prosperous.

Here, it seems to be somewhat similar to Panjiayuan in the previous life. It is a place to buy antiques, but the antiques here are a bit different because of different customs.

For example, the stall at Chen You's feet sells all kinds of weird masks, while the other stall on his right sells some bronze blocks piled up like Mayan pyramids.

The unique ancient culture of Dongguo not only attracts visitors from another world like Chen You, but also tourists from other countries can be seen everywhere here.

For example, at a glance, Chen You saw a lot of white people from the western and northern countries, black people from the southern country, and brown people from some small border countries.

These foreigners were full of excitement, as if they had discovered a new continent, wandering around this stall and going to that stall, their eyes full of love and novelty for the culture of the East.

After walking around here for a while, Chen You couldn't find any inspiration, so he was about to leave, but just as he turned around, a touch of red suddenly entered his eyes.

It was a stall selling ancient dolls. There were not many things on it, all of them were dolls made of skin wood.

The so-called skin wood is a unique arbor plant in the East. This tree has no annual rings and has a fine texture. After the epidermis is broken, the internal material is very similar to human skin in both color and texture, so it has skin wood. 's name.

In the ancient times of the Eastern Kingdom, this kind of skin wood was widely used to make sacrificial dolls because it did not need to be colored.

Most of these dolls are female figures, so they were also called "gud women" in ancient times.

In ancient times, guinea pigs have always been highly sought after by all countries. What's more, in the great voyage period four or five hundred years ago, guinea pigs were more precious than gold of equal weight in Western countries. Whoever enshrined one, that is The guarantee of a prosperous family.

At this moment, Chen You stood in front of the booth of this kind of doll, and there was a number on the booth, No. 158.

Chen You was also very interested in these ancient figures. He stopped in front of this booth and looked at it silently.

Most of these dolls are about 30 centimeters tall and stand firmly on the ground. They are wrapped in old but gorgeous ancient costumes. As the wind blows, their hair and skirts begin to flutter in the wind, making them lifelike.

And at the very center is a puppet wearing a red wedding dress with its head covered by a veil.

This doll is different from other costumes. It looks the most gorgeous, but the whole body shows an inexplicable old feeling, especially the strands of hair exposed under the hijab, which seem to be real hair. There is a translucent orange-yellow texture underneath.

Unconsciously, Chen You squatted down and fiddled with the strand of hair.

"it is true……"

Chen You's heart moved slightly when he felt that feeling. At this moment, he had an intuition that the hair used by this puppet was definitely the hair of a real person.

This kind of situation is not uncommon among guinea pigs. Due to the limitation of ancient technology, most guinea pigs' hair is woven from real human hair, but Chen You does not think this is a real antique, because hair can also rot.

The shelf life of hair is only about 50 to 100 years. If it is an ancient guinea pig, there is a high probability that the hair will never be seen.

What's more, there are few genuine items in this large antique market.

However, this little girl gave Chen You a different feeling. When her fingers touched the strands of hair just now, Chen You actually felt a faint cold feeling, as if she had just taken it from the refrigerator not long ago. came out the same.

Immediately, Chen You remembered the strange stories of "Back to the Soul". When those strange stories appeared, they did have a similar gloomy feeling.

Chen You tried to touch the other puppets on the booth again, but those puppets were all normal, only this one had that cold feeling.

Could it be that this doll in wedding dress is actually related to the supernatural power of this world?

The more he thought about it, the more surprised Chen You became.

Thinking of this, Chen You couldn't help but raised his head and carefully observed the owner of the booth. This was an old man with ravines on his skin, about 70 years old. He was sitting in front of the booth at this time, and the morning sun made him feel comfortable. He closed his eyes and seemed to be dozing off.

Seeing this, Chen You couldn't help but stretch out his hand slightly, wanting to lift the hood of the doll to see what the doll looked like.

"do not move!"

However, just when Chen You just touched the hijab, the old man who was dozing suddenly started drinking. Chen You quickly raised his head, only to see that the old man opened his eyes at some point.

There was a trace of displeasure in the old man's eyes, and his yellow and cloudy eyes stared at Chen You, as if he was looking at a dead man, "You dare to lift the veil of the bride's veil, young people today are so afraid of death?"

"What's the meaning?"

Chen You slightly retracted his hand, showing a puzzled look, "I've never heard of a bride, is there any taboo in folklore?"

"Haha...Young man, have you heard a proverb?"

The old man sneered, his voice as sharp and harsh as iron sand scraping through the bottom of the pot, "Zhu Hongsi Xuan is newly married, and the night weeps blood for a long time... I am a little bride who is different from others. It is said that she is a newlywed. It has been woven from the hair of a girl who died at night, and it has been more than a hundred years old. If you lift its hijab, then, hehe..."

Speaking of which, the old man just laughed and said no more.

"Master, the hair of this doll is still there, let's not call it an old object, do you think I believe it?"

Chen You looked in disbelief, but he was thoughtful in his heart. After all, the cold aura on his hair would not be fake, maybe because it was related to supernatural power, so the hair has not been damaged so far?

Maybe this is a clue, a clue to explore the supernatural power of this world...

"What does it have to do with me whether you believe it or not?"

The old man had a playful look on his face, as if he didn't care about the transaction at all, "Did you feel a chill when you touched it? Those are only found in ancient funerary objects, because the corpse aura that infects the tombs naturally has a kind of coldness. A chilly feeling."

Seeing this, Chen You couldn't help taking a deep breath, "Since that's the case, make a price, I want this doll."

"Young man~www.wuxiahere.com~ You have to think carefully, do you really want this evil thing?"

The joke on the old man's face gradually solidified, he took a deep look at Chen You, and suddenly sighed, "Forget it, since you have a relationship with this idiot girl, then give me 30,000 yuan, which is half sale and half free. It's gone!"

Hearing the price, Chen You glanced at him strangely. Although he didn't have much social experience, similar tricks were popular on the Internet in his previous life. The more the other party behaved like this, the more he felt that there was something wrong.

If it weren't for the strange coldness on this doll, he really wouldn't want to buy it.

After thinking about it for a while, Chen You shook his head, "I don't have that much money on me, I can give at most 3,000."

"Ha ha……"

Hearing this, the old man smiled disdainfully, "My price is already low enough, you must know that if an authentic old item like mine is put at an auction, there is not a million and eight hundred thousand that can't be bought!"

Hearing this sentence, Chen You was even more hesitant. Did he really let himself pick up a leak? But if this thing could go to the auction, he wouldn't bring it here to sell it.

Thinking of this, Chen You felt that there was something wrong with the old man, so he was ready to leave, thinking of other ways to get the doll.

"Hey, Nie Yuan! Nie Yuan!"

However, just when Chen You turned around and walked a few steps, the old man's sigh came from behind him again. Chen You turned his head strangely, but saw the old man's fingers move slightly, as if he was doing a fortune-telling, and at the same time there was a look of sadness in his eyes. color.

"Since you really want it, then it's cheaper, five thousand yuan and take her away!"

The old man opened his mouth with some pain. He stared at Chen You with a complicated and sad expression, as if he saw some kind of unspeakable future in Chen You.
