The days of harvest are undoubtedly pleasant. With the joy of the harvest, Wang Ke and Liu Gang said goodbye and hurried to their rented quarters.

He bought a quarter of a million of the two artifacts he picked up, remitting 50,000 yuan to his parents at home, and now he still has 200,000 yuan in his bank account.

Two hundred thousand!

It was a great fortune for him, who was used to poverty.

He wondered if he would rent a better place. Because he is now renting a house, is in a shabby courtyard, the courtyard has a total of eight tile-roofed houses, except for two of the tile-roofed houses are the landlord family live, the other rooms are rented out.

"That's a sensible boy. He's honest every day, or I'd have to get rid of him, too. But ah! The AGE IS VERY YOUNG BIG LAD, BE TOO HAVE NO HOPE POINT, COME BACK EVERY DAY ONESELF SHUT IN THE HOME, HUM, I SEE WANG KE THAT BOY, NAMELY SIT TO EAT THE CHEAP LIFE THAT WAITS FOR DEATH......"

Just outside the courtyard, Wang Ke heard a slightly hoarse woman's voice.

His face for an instant dark down, as renting in the yard, and he has a pair of middle-aged couples, the woman looks a bit kind of feminine beauty, but mouth is too cheap, but her man, five big three thick, tattooed with the tattoo, very cross a tiger han, used to live in a courtyard homes, are talking about, say that man is a mixed society, So people don't want to mess with this middle-aged couple.

Even if the middle-aged woman gossips all day, gossips behind others' backs, everyone holds the idea that they can not afford to avoid, but also did not conflict with their husband and wife.

Wang Ke despised the middle-aged couple very much. They were the only two residents in the courtyard who had a broken van, so they always felt superior and often showed off in front of others.

Wang Ke opened the door without expression and walked in. He glanced at the young woman in his eyes. He also ignored her and walked towards his door.

When the middle-aged woman saw Wang Ke come back, her face rose slightly and she looked contemptuous. She stepped in front of Wang Ke and said, "I said, Mr. Wang, don't come back to your house every day. How much money can you have with your dead salary? Young people should go out to run more, more find a way to make a fortune. I really despise you now, young do not know hard, how to live in the future? Where did you get the money to fall in love and find a wife?"

Wang Ke frowned slightly and said faintly: "Whether I earn money or not, whether I find a wife, it has nothing to do with you?"

The middle-aged couple leng, she did not expect that Wang Ke should dare to play leng with him, immediately on the face of a scowl, fingers are almost to point to the bridge of Wang Ke's nose, loudly shouted: "You boy courage fat ah? What kind of attitude is that? I am concerned about you, is really a dog bite Lu Dongbin do not know good people. What do I care if we're not neighbors? With respect to YOU THIS BEAR KIND, LATER ALSO HAVE NO WHAT BIG PROMISE, I SEE YOU ALSO with RESPECT TO THIS APPEARANCE GROW GOOD-LOOKING POINT, FUTURE MAY NOT ALSO BE THE LIFE THAT DOES small WHITE FACE......"

Wang Ke looked at the long-tongued shrew coldly, indifferent to her clamor.

Bypassing the middle-aged woman, Wang Ke changed his mind and headed straight for the landlord's room.

The MIDDLE-AGED WOMAN SAW WANG KE'S APPEARANCE, but also confessed for him, looking at the back of Wang KE said more vigorous.

"Xiao Wang, what's the matter?"

The landlord is a very honest middle-aged man, see Wang Ke's arrival, his face shows a doubt.

Wang Ke nodded and said, "Uncle, landlord, it's the end of the month. I won't rent the house next month."

The LANDLORD LOOK A STAY, then the face emerged bitter, quickly toward that gossipy woman sidled an eye, and then Wang Ke to the room, after closing the door to ask: "Xiao Wang, is not that gossipy couple bothering you?"

Wang Ke shook his head and said, "No, for other reasons."

The landlord nodded silently, took out a cigarette from the pocket, lit one after the stuffy smoke a few mouth, just bitter said: "If you also want to move out, that this month is the third family to check out of the house, if this goes on, I here can no one live."

Wang Ke knows what the middle-aged landlord means. Because of the gossiping couple, they have moved out two houses this month.

"Xiao Wang! Today you come to my place, we two chat. Well, don't tell me you're moving out, but I can't stand it either. My son's college entrance examination this year, this saw the day of the college entrance examination is getting closer and closer, but I can't study at home. You know, those couple play music so loud every night that the roof is going to collapse. And there are often those local ruffians and rascals to their home to drink and play cards, noisy ah make! We can't sleep."

"Xiao Wang, you are an honest young man. Usually you don't talk much, but you are definitely a very thoughtful young man, and I know I can't keep you here for long. What's the saying? Jin Lin is not a pool, a change in the dragon, is such a thing. I've been unhappy for a long time, and I'll tell you today."

"They have lived here for two and a half years, and they still owe me two years' rent. I believe you know the situation of my family, which is almost too poor to boil the kettle, and they have to pay for their son's education. I asked them for it several times, but they always said they had no money. Well, I've already decided to let my wife and son move out in a few days to create a good learning environment for the children. I'll be here alone with them."

Wang Ke looked at the simple and honest middle-aged landlord, at the moment that face bitter and helpless, the heart is not taste.

Every family has this difficult to read, he wanted to open the mouth to comfort the middle-aged landlord two words, but the words to the mouth but do not know how to say. He knew, I'm afraid, that all his soothing words were of little use to the middle-aged landlord.

Wang Ke sighed as he smoked the inferior cigarettes one by one. A glance around the room showed how miserable the middle-aged landlord's life was.

Suddenly, there was a slight pause in his gaze, and then a light.

On the old table of eight immortals, there was a censer. From the censer with the primitive shape, he faintly sensed something unusual. In the past six months, he has been dealing with antiques all day. Although he can't say he is proficient, he can distinguish between good and bad.

"Landlord, can I have a look at the censer on the table of the eight fairies?" "Wang Ke began.

Middle - aged landlord one Leng, immediately placed a waving hand to say: "See! It's just a broken censer."

Wang Ke walked to the table a few steps and grabbed the censer in his hand. After looking at it carefully for a long time, Wang Ke became more and more aware that the censer should not be ordinary, but probably an old thing:

Tripod furnace, this kind of blue and white censer, the furnace body is composed of three sections, the upper part is rectangular and wide along the basin shape, the middle abdomen is square, the lower part is abdominal foot, four feet outside, the shape is strong and mellow, the blue and white decoration is smooth, obviously the carving technology level is very good.

No blemishes, no signs of imitations.

Wang KE IN THE HEART SOME excited, he can not be 100% sure that this is an antique, but in the heart, he felt that this is a genuine antique, MIanMIanZHONG a feeling, very mysterious, in the end why will have this feeling, he can not say.

Perhaps, this is also a magic instrument!

Wang Ke this idea just emerged, also can't suppress any longer.

Is it really a stroke of luck? Did you let yourself pick up again?

Today, the eye can not be used, which makes him feel a little regret, if you can use the eye, you can easily judge whether the censer is a law.

Moving his lower lip, Wang Ke hesitated for a moment, then turned to the middle-aged landlord and said: "Landlord, how about selling me this censer? I think it would be a good thing, but I don't know."

The middle-aged landlord looked stunned, his eyes became a little strange. He knew that Wang Ke was a clerk in an antique shop, but this incense burner in his home for decades, will be a good thing?

"Xiao Wang, can you be mistaken? It's been in our house for decades. It's just an ordinary censer!" The middle-aged landlord is afraid that Wang Ke is mistaken, so open a kind reminder way.

For decades?

So, this censer isn't a replica from the last few decades?

Fighting back his excitement, Wang Ke said: "To be honest, landlord, I really don't know. You know, I'm just a boy in an antique shop. I don't have much knowledge. And today my boss fired me. But if you will sell it to me, I will pay more for it."

No one in the world has a problem with money, nor does an honest landlord.

After a moment's hesitation, the middle-aged landlord asked, "Xiao Wang, this censer... How much can you give me?"

Wang Ke JUST thought about it in his heart, so he stretched out his hand and said, "How about 500 yuan?"

The MIDDLE-AGED landlord in the heart A agITATE, almost no hesitation, then loudly say: "Good, 500 sold to you!"

Wang KE NODDED HIS HEAD, TODAY FROM ZHOU BIAO SKIN BOSS OVER THERE BEG BACK 1500 PIECES OF CASH, UP TO NOW HAVE NOT SPENT HOW MUCH, SO HE QUICKLY OF POINT OUT 5 PIECES TO THE MIDDLE-AGED LANDLORD, THEN JUST SMILE WAY: "THAT THIS CENSER IS MINE!"

His heart has been secretly determined, if the incense burner is real, or, better still, luck is multiplier, the money after he sold, must be half back to the landlord, in his view, also need a moral rule, the landlord loyal, is nothing, and the conditions at home and very hard, return the money to give them half, I can feel a little better about myself.

A few minutes later, Wang Ke returned to his room with a censer. Before his buttocks warmed up along the bed, loud rock music was playing in the room of the chattering couple next door.

Wang KE'S FACE SLOWLY gloomy down, he has endured the couple for a long time, the recent period of time, the couple became more brazen.

Is can endure what cannot endure, this anyway want to leave, past warn them once! And help out the middle-aged landlord, too.

Wang Ke made up his mind, so he stood up, put the censer he was playing with on the bedside table, and strode out of the room.
