Chapter 295： Whoever barks is a dog

Chapter 295 Whoever barks is a dog

After breakfast in the morning, Su Ningxi took Lu Bei to open the medical clinic on time at 9 o'clock as usual. Today's Shanggu Street was particularly lively.

At this moment, rows of stalls have been set up on both sides of the street. The stalls are equipped with various jade, gemstones, handicrafts, various calligraphy and painting works, antique handicrafts, various second-hand goods, and old books.

“Why are there so many people on the street today?” Lu Bei walked to the street. “Sister-in-law, all the shops around us are open today.”

"Maybe there is some festival!" Su Ningxi glanced outside, a little surprised, but didn't pay too much attention.

Aunt Li, the servant who was cleaning the house, smiled and explained, "Today is the 15th. There is a rally on the 15th of every month in Shanggu Street. Only on this day will the shops outside open and people will come to set up stalls."

Today is July 15th. Ning Xi knew that there would be an auction tonight at the Ling family’s auction house. Lu Nan also mentioned to her that the ancient street would be very lively on this day. She thought it would only be lively here at night. It turned out There are also meetings during the day.

Lu Bei returned to the hospital and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, we will go out for a walk soon!"

“There will be fewer people in the afternoon, but now there are too many people and it’s crowded.”

As a local, Aunt Li knows this place better. She gives suggestions, and Ning Xi naturally wants to listen. Moreover, when Wu Xinghai brought Mr. Wu here for acupuncture yesterday, he also said that he would come over in the morning if he had something to do this afternoon.

“Then I’ll go shopping in the afternoon. I’ll be doing acupuncture on Mr. Wu soon.”

"Okay." Lu Bei nodded and agreed. He could actually go out by himself, but it was too boring to go out alone. In the afternoon, it was fun to go out with the two little guys, his sister-in-law, and Aunt Liu.

I don’t know if it was because there were so many people on the street today. In addition to giving Mr. Wu acupuncture, five patients came to the medical clinic all morning. They were all minor problems that could be solved with one or two pills.

After lunch in the afternoon, the whole family went out in a big way. At this moment, the streets were still very lively with people, including men, women, old and young, of all ages.

It seems that most of the young people are looking for new things here and there, but have no intention of making a move. The older people probably come here with the mentality of picking up leaks, and they will stop and take a closer look at every stall they come to. Sometimes I even take out a magnifying glass and take a closer look.

Sun Ningxi and the others slowly walked forward with the crowd. The two little guys lying in the stroller were not happy to see the people on the street. They looked here and there, dancing and babbling. .

Lu Bei was extremely curious about the things on the stalls. He picked up this one and looked at that one, and looked at it all the way along.

"Aunt Liu, sister-in-law, are all the things on these stalls real? Just now, a man in front of me bought a black gadget from a stall. The boss asked for 10,000 yuan, and the man counter-offered 10 yuan, but The boss was so angry that he said how good his stuff was and how valuable it was. The man was also stubborn and kept asking whether he wanted to sell it for 10 yuan. In the end, the boss actually sold the stuff for 10 yuan. "

"I'm not sure about this." Liu He shook her head, she didn't understand this.

Su Ningxi smiled and said, "I heard that most of the products sold here are imitations. At least ordinary people like us can't see the treasures."

"It only costs 10 yuan for a fake. Why don't these people grab it?" Lu Bei frowned and shouted that it was not worth it. He was a child who grew up in the countryside. Even if his family is not short of money now, he is still a thrifter. young man.

“Why are you going to the ancient streets if you can’t even get out 10 yuan?” an unharmonious voice sounded nearby.

Su Ningxi glanced at the person who was speaking. They were three young men in their twenties. Judging from their appearance, their family conditions should be quite good.

One of the young men saw Su Ningxi looking over and said with a look of disgust, "This gathering on the ancient street is getting more and more boring. All cats and dogs can join in here. The smell is sour and disgusting."

"You..." Lu Bei blushed and immediately wanted to chase after him.

“Xiao Bei is fine.” Su Ningxi grabbed Xiao Bei and shook her head towards her. Su Ningxi didn't want to cause trouble, but the people across from her didn't think so. The young man stopped and looked at a few people with disgust, and coldly snorted, "Ignorant country bumpkins, if you can't afford it, don't hang out here."

Lu Bei was so angry that his face turned red. If he hadn't been pulled by Su Ningxi, he would have gone up to fight with him.

Su Ningxi sighed and asked aloud, "Okay Xiaobei, if you are like a silly barking dog, people will only treat you as a dog."

The young man came over angrily, pointed at Suningxi and shouted angrily, "Who are you calling a dog?"

Su Ningxi stood motionless and looked at the other person with a faint smile on her face, "I will scold whoever is barking."

"You're a bitch..." The young man grabbed his fist and smashed it towards Sun Ningxi.

Lu Bei grabbed the young man's wrist and looked at him sullenly, "Want to fight?"

The young man's face turned red from holding back, and he would never admit that it was because Lu Bei grabbed his wrist and it hurt you. He struggled angrily for a few times, but could not break away from Lu Bei's hand, so he could only yell, "Let go." "

"Zhang Xiaolong, we are in a hurry." The people who had already walked to the front realized that their companions had not followed, so they stopped and saw a conflict between their companions and others. One of the young people shouted in this direction.

“Xiao Bei, let go. This place is too narrow. If you fight here, it’s easy to overturn other people’s stalls.”

Lu Bei glanced at the young man who was already on the verge of going berserk, and let go of the young man with a cold snort.

The young man glared at Lu Bei fiercely, quickly caught up with his companion, and said with a flattering look, "Master He, don't worry, Yurentang is just ahead."

Hearing that the other party mentioned Yurentang, Su Ningxi turned back and took a deep look at the three of them, called Xiaobei, and they continued to walk forward.

After walking for a while, Liu He saw that Sun Ningxi was still shopping leisurely with no intention of going back, and asked aloud, "Xi'er, don't you need to go back and take a look? Those people should be going to our medical clinic." "

"If they are here to cause trouble, there is no use if I go back. But if they dare to smash up the store, Dad and Xiaonan will naturally help us find the place. If they are here to see a doctor, then just wait slowly. I have no idea. After having enough fun, it’s impossible for me to treat them.”

If the other party didn't deliberately cause trouble, Ning Xi might have rushed back immediately when she heard that the other party was going to her medical clinic, but now she didn't want to deal with a few people.

After strolling slowly for more than an hour, several people came to a shop without a signboard. The shop was filled with stones. Many people took magnifying glasses and flashlights to look at the stones.

"There are people selling stones." Lu Bei had long forgotten the previous unhappiness. When he saw someone selling stones, he immediately became interested and quickly walked into the store.

Is that gambling on stones?

In her previous life, Su Ningxi had heard people talk about gambling stones, but she had never seen it with her own eyes. She was also quite curious about this thing, so she smiled and said, "Mom, go in and have a look."

Liu He shook his head without interest, "I won't go. I'll wait for you outside."

“We’ll be out soon.” Ning Xi also followed Lu Bei into the store.
