Chapter 21 The Curse of the Old Gypsy Lady
On this day, Zhao Hao was counting the account book because it was about to end the month.
Suddenly I heard the bell on the door "ding" and looked up and saw someone walking in.
It was a tall and thin man with a slightly hunched figure. The most important thing was that Zhao Hao seemed to see a wisp of black smoke flashing across his head!
If it weren't for traveling through time, Zhao Hao would definitely think he was dazzled.
But now it’s different. I’ve seen too many unusual things!
This is definitely not an hallucination. It is probably because this man has some extraordinary power involved!
"Hello, welcome to Laotie Antiques Store. Is there anything that can help you?"
The man looked very decadent and down, with a scattered hairstyle, his eyes were covered in blood, and his eyes were obviously covered in stubble. If the suit he didn't look like a cheap product, Zhao Hao would have thought he was a street homeless man!
It was like after several nights of staying up and experiencing a few more hangovers.
During Zhao Hao's college period, a classmate lived in an Internet cafe for half a month, but he was not so haggard.
"I, I want to sell something..." The man spoke, his voice a little dry, but his expression was calm, not like he was drunk or joking. Zhao Hao felt a little relieved.
Although Songren Street is relatively stable here because of the good level of community autonomy, it is not completely fine. After all, it is Amei! There is a troll under the counter in front of Zhao Hao.
A few days ago, there was a convenience store nearby at dinner time when a drunk man smashed the glass and snatched some goods!
Although he was pressed and beaten by his neighbors before he ran far, he was later taken away by some Song people with tattoos and fierce looks.
Those are Song gangs, or fellow townspeople associations, clubs, etc.
That's right, there are also people from the Song Dynasty.
It is not normal to have nothing, because in Amei, unless something big happens, Bai Dao cannot control the affairs of the underworld.
According to Uncle Tie, in addition to the Red Gate of the Song people, there are also some gangs of the Fusang people, the Italian mafia, the drug lord gang of Brother Moji, the local gang of Amei, etc., which are also complicated.
Speaking of this man, he took out an iron box from his handbag, and Zhao Hao heard a thunderous sound.
It should be small items, such as jewelry or coins.
Zhao Hao guessed it right. The man opened the box and found some small things like coins, badges and other things. It looked like they were a little old.
Zhao Hao saw several commemorative silver coins with collection value, and felt that the business was not bad.
Of course, the more important thing is the wisp of "black smoke" on this man's body!
"Uncle Tie, there is a customer coming to the door." Zhao Hao has been in contact with this industry for a short time, and it is okay to do some sales work. He can't collect things and has insufficient eyesight.
Uncle Tie quickly opened the curtain and walked out of the inner room.
Zhao Hao quickly turned around and said, "Uncle Tie, this customer wants to sell some coins and badges, please show it." He gave a wink while saying that.
Uncle Tie nodded slightly, "Take it and take it to me and take a look."
Zhao Hao pulled the white towel on the counter and held the iron box and handed it to Uncle Tie. Uncle Tie also took the iron box through the towel.
Zhao Hao winked and he understood, most probably because he noticed something wrong with this man.
Be careful to sail for a thousand years, and it is always good to wear some hand towels.
The coins and the inscriptions were poured on the counter, and Uncle Tie was holding a small bamboo stick and tugging them.
"Well, it looks a bit valuable. These three are silver coins issued by Ingres when they colonized here in the 18th century. There were not many issued at that time. Although they were a bit worn, the market price of one can be worth $40..."
"This badge is the silver medal of the Bald Eagle of the War of Independence. It was said that less than a thousand were awarded at that time. I wonder where the guests got it?" Uncle Tie asked.
The man looked a little embarrassed, "It was my great-great-grandfather's medal. He was a captain at that time..."
This is a pawn of the ancestral property! Although it only has two hundred years of history, Americo has only been founded for two hundred years.
Is this a rare local antique?
Looking at the man's condition, I guess he encountered some difficult things.
Uncle Tie asked sincerely: "Sir, although the market price of this silver bald eagle medal is worth at least $300, I definitely cannot accept it for $300. I think this kind of thing is very meaningful to your family. If it is not a special situation, I suggest you keep it?"
The man's lips twitched and he said in a deep voice: "I need money, please give me a price."
Uncle Tie nodded and said to Zhao Hao: "Give tea."
Then he led the man to a small coffee table while sitting down to chat, chatting while discussing the price.
Uncle Tie can give people a sense of majesty and credibility. In addition, this man is in a bad state, so he was stolen by Uncle Tie for a while.
In the end, Uncle Tie gave 450 dollars and accepted the coins and badges and other fragments.
When the man left, Zhao Hao couldn't help but shake his head: "His ancestors were some of the founding officers, right? How could he fall into this field?"
"Hmph!" Uncle Tie sneered disdainfully, "This country has no heart. Didn't you listen to him? A month ago, he was a successful white-collar worker and his family was still very wealthy. But once he encountered huge changes, he was not far from bankruptcy and left the streets. His wife and daughter were still lying in the hospital and had to sell everything they could sell..."
"By the way, you winked at me just now, what's going on?"
Zhao Hao quickly said about the fact that he had just seen a wisp of black smoke above the man's head, "The feet are as thick as arms, shaking, and they disappeared in the blink of an eye. I guess it's not a good thing."
Uncle Tie stroked his chin and nodded slightly, "According to Mr. Nelson's words, his family has been in trouble recently." "When my wife was driving, she suddenly turned the steering wheel and hit the telephone pole. Because of her own reasons, the insurance company did not pay."
"My daughter also rolled down the stairs for no reason, was seriously injured and moved into the ICU... Now they are all in the hospital for treatment, and the whole family is about to disperse. In addition, the black smoke you see, it doesn't seem like a normal situation..."
In fact, when Uncle Tie received Zhao Hao's instructions, he also carefully observed Mr. Nelson.
The extraordinary people in the Song Dynasty were called practitioners, and they generally mastered a lot of abilities and paid attention to their broadness.
Uncle Tie knows some faces, and Nelson looks black in Yin Tang.
"Maybe I have something to do with the world, so I'll call Colt and ask them to check it out."
There should be many "partners" of mysterious bureaus like Uncle Tie, Free City. Their purpose is to minimize the interference of the inner world and the extraordinary people on ordinary people who appear in the world.
After the phone call, Colt said that he would send agents to investigate Mr. Nelson immediately.
More than two hours later, Zhao Hao was copying scriptures when the phone suddenly rang. He picked it up and found that it was Colt.
"Zhao Hao, your guess is correct. That person has a psychic reaction! According to the investigation and speculation of my subordinates, it may be related to an old lady, an old gypsy woman...but, that old lady had already died half a month ago!"
Colt also had a headache, but he was not afraid of the extraordinary old ladies. After all, most of the extraordinary people are not as good as the weather these days, and there are more people who have passed the mysterious situation. Most of them are in peace after a single bullet.
But this old lady is already peaceful! What should I do?
Nelson was obviously cursed by the old lady Gypsy or something, but the curse did not end with the old lady's death. Instead, his wife and daughter were both unlucky to be hospitalized after the old lady died. This was getting worse and worse!
This kind of thing must not be ignored, and people know what it will turn out to be in the end.
It’s like a person is sick. If you are sick, you should treat him. Don’t think about procrastinating!
However, this old lady who has been peaceful is really hard to deal with. She simply did not bother the second master, and Colt planned to ask Uncle Tie for help.
Uncle Tie took the phone and thought about it, nodded in agreement.
Chapter completed!
