Bang!

  Gu Mei hadn't even had time to touch the small box with her left hand when a force suddenly came from behind, violently pushing her forward, causing her to lose her balance and fall straight onto the ground.

  "Gu Mian!" Bai Fangfang exclaimed in surprise, stretching out her hand to grab Gu Mian.

  Unfortunately, her action was a step too slow, and her fingers only brushed against Gu Mian's arm, unable to grab hold.

  "Ouch!" Under the forceful impact, Gu Mei fell onto the ground and it hurt quite a bit.

  In order not to crush the things on the stall, she reflexively used her hands to support her body, as a result, nothing was crushed, but her elbow immediately turned blue and swollen.

  "Hey, what's going on? Didn't you see anyone here?" Bai Fangfang grabbed hold of Gu Ming and yelled at the person who had bumped into him.

  A burly man with a fierce face bumped into Gu Mian, and upon hearing Bai Fangfang's words, his eyebrows furrowed as he prepared to step forward.

  "Don't stir up trouble!" At this time, a person next to him stopped the big man.

  That big fellow grunted and glared fiercely at Bai Fangfang, not even looking at Gu Miao, before turning around and walking towards the owner of the street stall.

  "What's your attitude? You bumped into someone and didn't apologize, but instead glared at me!" White Fangfang was displeased, stood up and wanted to go forward to reason with him.

  "Never mind, don't go." Gu Mian hastily pulled back the furious Bai Fangfang and comforted her: "You didn't see that man's face was full of ferocity, I think eight out of ten he's not a good person, it's not a big deal, we're just two girls, if something really happens, we can't win a fight."

  "But that's too much, really no quality." Bai Fangfang took a look at the tall and sturdy figure of the big man, then looked at her own and Gu Mei's small arms and legs, muttering unhappily.

  Gu Mei smiled and waved the box in her hand: "I think this is pretty good, I'll go buy it."

  "What is this?" Bai Fangfang looked over curiously.

  "I'm not quite sure what this is either, it seems like some foreign thing, I don't know much about it, but I think it looks pretty good." Gu Ming said with a smile.

  Just now when she was hit, her left hand touched this small box, and the heat was immediately transmitted to her hand. The heat was even higher in the place where the gum was covered. She carefully felt it with her fingers and found that there were some small protrusions under the gum, as if something was inlaid.

  What's even stranger is that after her left hand touched the box, a "click click click" sound came from the bottom of her heart, feeling a bit like ignition, but the box in her hand was clearly not a lighter or matchbox.

  "Does this dirty thing still look good?" Bai Fangfang said disapprovingly, puckering her mouth. After looking at the box for a while, she said: "This seems to be a foreign cigarette box! My dad has one of these antique cigarette boxes. It was given to him by someone else. But the cigarette box in your hand looks bigger than usual, and at that time, foreign cigarettes didn't have filters, so ordinary cigarette boxes couldn't hold today's filtered cigarettes. However, that kind of box is absolutely a good thing for storing self-made rolled cigarettes. The one in your hand seems to be able to hold today's cigarettes, which is really strange. I wonder if it's a modern replica?"

  "It shouldn't be a counterfeit, I think it's an antique." Gu Mei heard Bai Fangfang's words and instantly understood that the creaking sound coming from her heart was actually the sound of lighting a cigarette.

  "It's a pity that there's something stuck on the cigarette box and it can't be seen clearly. Otherwise, we could find its logo." Baifangfang handed the cigarette box to Gu Mian after flipping it over for a while: "If you like it, just buy it, maybe it'll look good after cleaning up."

  "I think so too." Gu Mian nodded and walked towards the stall owner.

  At this time, the man who had bumped into her earlier and had a fierce face had already left, and the stall owner was idle and swinging his own feet.

  "Boss, how much is this?" Gu Mian waved the cigarette box in front of the old man.

  The old man raised his eyes and glanced at the box in Gu Mian's hand: "500 yuan, no bargaining."

  "This box isn't even silver, how can it be worth 500 yuan?" Gu Ming's fingers lightly tapped the side of the box.

  "Love to buy or not." The old man glanced at Gu Mian and continued to swing his feet.

  Anyone who doesn't buy it is an idiot!

  Gu Meng rolled her eyes secretly, but she couldn't just let it go with Lao Tou's words, she had to make a bit of an effort.

  "Look at this. The box has a lot of chewing gum stuck to it, and I have no idea what's underneath. After buying it back, I'll have to spend some effort to clean it up. 500 yuan is too expensive, I think 200 yuan would be more reasonable." Gu Mei looked at the box in her hand with a critical eye.

  The old man's eyes rolled around in a circle. He looked at Gu Mian and didn't make a sound.

  This old man is still not easy to deal with!

  "500 yuan is too expensive, I'm just a student and don't have much money. I think it would look good if it's washed clean, I want to buy it as a birthday gift for my grandfather, can you give me a discount?" Qian began to soften up.

  Unfortunately, Gu Mian's words fell on deaf ears as the old man, who was used to hearing such remarks from his customers, didn't pay any attention to him.

  "Boss..." Gu Mian wanted to say.

  "Out of ten people who come to my place to buy things, eight say they're buying gifts for their grandfathers, grandmothers, fathers, mothers, sons and daughters. If I gave discounts to each one, what would I eat?" The old man smacked his lips and looked at Gu Mian with disdain: "Can't even come up with a new excuse."

  The old thief, neither soft nor hard is effective on him.

  She secretly raised a middle finger at the old man, her excuse was old-fashioned but not something she made up to fool people, she originally wanted to buy gifts for grandpa.

  "500 yuan, take it or leave it." The old man gave Gu Mian a white eye.

  Gu Mei couldn't help it and had to take out 500 yuan to buy the cigarette box.

  This old man is really something, Bai Fangfang can haggle over prices, but when it comes to her, he doesn't bargain.

  The old man took the money and casually stuffed it into his own bag. Gu Mei secretly glanced at it, and the bag was bulging with many red Mao notes inside.

  "Old man, is this all you have today? You only set up your stall once a week and don't even bring out some good stuff. All you do is peddle unknown junk from who-knows-where." The old man who had been rummaging through things across from Gu Mian suddenly appeared, complaining to the stall owner.

  "Old Huang, I was originally a junk collector. Can't find anything to do with me. Anyway, everything is here, love it or not." The boss said with great personality.

  "You really have yours, without showing any human feelings at all." The stall owner, who was called Old Yellow, said angrily.

  "If I really didn't care about relationships, I wouldn't have helped you just now. What are you still doing here? Afraid others can't find you?" The stall owner sneered.

  "Never mind. I'll come back next time." The old man shrank his neck and looked around in all directions.

  Gu Meng listened to the conversation between the two without understanding what was going on, shrugged her shoulders and turned around to walk towards Bai Fangfang.

  "There!" Suddenly, a loud shout came into Gu Mian's ear. He felt his body being bumped again, and his hand relaxed, the cigarette box he had just bought flew out.

  Gu Mei's eyes widened. She didn't even bother to look at the person who bumped into her, her gaze following the cigarette box that had been knocked flying.

  It turned out that the cigarette box flew quite accurately, and with a single flight, it flew directly into a canvas bag held by an old man surnamed Huang not far from her.

  "Old man's house. My..." Just as Gu Mian was about to speak, he saw the old man with the surname Huang suddenly look like he had been startled by something and took off running.

  "Hurry up and catch up!" The big man with a fierce face who had collided with Gu Mian before, squeezed past Gu Mian and chased after the old man.

  "My cigarette case!" Gu Ming exclaimed, jumping up and down in anxiety.

  This is great, the thing I just bought was taken away by someone.

  "Fang Fang, wait a moment, I'll be right back!" Gu Mian didn't have time to explain more to Bai Fangfang and was about to rush towards the entrance of the flower and bird market.

  When she came, she noticed that this flower and bird market only had one exit. The old man just ran inside. If you want to go out, it's probably still from the front door.

  "Wait!" The old stall owner stopped Gu Mian, pointing southwest: "Go that way and wait. If you're lucky, you might be able to catch it."

  The stall owner was old. But his eyes were sharp enough to catch the scene where Gu Mian's cigarette case fell into Old Man Huang's bag.

  Gu Mei looked at the stall owner hesitantly. She had heard what the stall owner and the old man said earlier, it seemed that the stall owner also knew someone was looking for the old man with the surname Huang, and even helped to cover it up a bit.

  "Believe it or not, I'm in a good mood for once, but no one appreciates it." The stall owner muttered a few words, stood up and shouted at the neighboring stall owner who looked quite refined: "Kid, that's it for today, pack up!"

  "Alright, grandpa." The owner of the neighboring stall nodded and quickly began packing up his own things.

  The old man didn't mince words, and started packing up his things to hurry the customers away, which made the customers who were still shopping complain repeatedly. However, the old man seemed not to have heard them at all, and continued to pack up his things on his own.

  Gu Meng looked in the southwest direction that the stall owner pointed to, then glanced at the entrance of the flower and bird market, finally gritted her teeth and ran towards the southwest direction that the stall owner had pointed to.

  The farther in they went, the fewer stalls there were, and the flow of people coming and going also decreased. Gu Miao walked along the wall to the southwest direction, where not a single person was seen, only a pile of miscellaneous objects stacked haphazardly at the corner of the wall.

  After a moment's thought, Gu Mian took advantage of some miscellaneous objects to cover herself up and waited quietly. She only hoped that the old man who sold the stall had not cheated her, and that the old man with the surname Huang would come over here. Otherwise, the pack of cigarettes she had just bought would be rendered useless!

  It turned out that heaven was on Gu Mian's side. She didn't wait for long before she heard someone panting and running over, and when she looked up, it was indeed the old man with the surname Huang.

  "Hah... those rascals, running so fast, I'm almost exhausted this old bones of mine." The old man with the surname Huang ran straight towards the direction where Gu Mian was waiting.

  Gu Meng saw the situation and immediately stood up, facing the old man who was walking towards him: "Old uncle, my lighter accidentally fell..."

  Old Mr. Huang saw Gu Mian suddenly pop out and violently retreated backwards, taking a sharp breath of cold air, scaring his heart almost to a stop.
