Lin Yi has been playing with books for so long, and occasionally he will encounter one or two people who do not follow the rules. Pan Jiayuan’s rules are very simple. If you hold the books in someone else’s hands, you can’t ask. If you are bargaining, you can’t talk too much, let alone raise the price halfway.

The old man seemed to find that he did something unauthentic, and his face turned a little red. He glanced at Lin Yi and then at the book stall owner, so he had to bite the bullet and say, "I mean if he doesn't want this set of villain's book "The Godly Elephant Formation", I'm willing to buy it for 100 yuan--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The boss didn't care about this. He was not a fool. He immediately understood that this set of books was valuable--so his first reaction was to say to Lin Yi: "I'm sorry, man, I won't sell this set of books for the time being... I keep it for fun."

Without saying it thoroughly, everyone understands what it means. People want to take it back and check the price.

Lin Yi knew that this set of books was gone, but it didn't matter. He had already made some money. As for the guy who broke the rules, he regretted it. He offended the person and was embarrassed and didn't say anything, but in the end he didn't get anything.

In general, he was too impatient. Seeing Lin Yi keep picking up the bargains and then picking them up, he couldn't hold them in, so he spoke. Who knew that stealing chickens would lose a lot of rice?

Fortunately, Lin Yi is the kind of person who is a former gentleman. If it were someone else, he would probably curse at this guy again.

Lin Yi's gentleness made the man even more ashamed. He immediately chased Lin Yi and apologized: "I'm sorry, brother. I was a little anxious just now. It was mainly because I collected comic strips, but I didn't have that set of missing books, so I did that..." I was embarrassed to say the following words.

Seeing this, Lin Yi just smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, just be careful next time. If you really like your book collection, you can also hand it over to you after I buy it, don't be too impatient."

As soon as these words were spoken, the man felt even more ashamed and embarrassed to say anything more, say hello and leave.

...

At this time, Lin Yi and Lao Cao had already separated. In Lao Cao's opinion, he had no bones to bite with Lin Yi. He was too sharp-eyed, so he could open up a battlefield and rely on his own to find a bargain.

As for Teacher Huang, Lin Yi also sent him around. After all, Lao Huang was interested in military supplies, such as seals, telescopes, etc., which had nothing to do with his favorite old books.

Therefore, Lin Yi was alone at this time. Fortunately, coach Huang was gone and the small cart pulled behind his butt. No matter how many books he bought, he was not afraid of being unable to drag.

It was almost half past four, and the gates of Panjiayuan were wide open, and cars were coming in and out. The shop was closed, the lights were dim and people were everywhere, and it felt like sleepwalking in ghosts. However, the street of the book stall was more lively than before, with flashlights everywhere. It seemed that more Taobao customers joined the Taobao team in the ghost market, and some foreign vendors also entered the venue one after another. At least Lin Yigang had a few more book stalls.

Looking at the people around me, I basically gained something. An old man's hand-made cloth bag was full. Half-light and half-dark, I saw a man with a Yu Provincial accent squatting on the ground and digging out the bag. Lin Yi rushed over step by step, called "membersmen", squatted down, reading one by one, and the man laughed and said, "You are from the Central Plains, and you really met a fellow villager..."

Lin Yi picked a book, twenty yuan, and asked when he paid the money: "How is the business?"

"That's it! It's better to make hard money than farming in my hometown. I can't afford to spend a whole year of busy work..." The man smoked, and the cigarette butt was dying, full of vicissitudes.

The sky was bright, and a sharp voice broke through the dawn sky: "You want eight hundred yuan for this broken thing?! Crazy?! Just three hundred yuan!..." Looking in the voice, I saw the bald old Cao turning around and jumping out of a stall. With his fat physique, it was not easy to make such difficult moves. The stall owner held three hundred yuan bills in his hand and didn't chase him. He smiled and shouted, "Add another hundred!" Old Cao turned around and took out one hundred yuan and handed it to him, put his backpack on his chest, stuffed the book in, looked up and met Lin Yi, and said excitedly: "Look at how this book is?" He looked mysterious.

When Lin Yi saw that what he was holding was a hardcover copy of "Fifty Years of Woodcuts" from the 1950s.

Looking at the copyright of this book, People's Art Publishing House has only 2,000 copies of the print volume, which contains works by many famous woodcut artists, as well as colorful avatars and Zhu De's avatars. They belong to the red collection category and are a good thing.

Lao Cao was very happy to be recognized by Lin Yi. You should know that this book is sold for seven or eight hundred or even thousands of dollars online, but he spent four hundred yuan, which is considered a bargain.

"Let me see what you bought?" Lao Cao asked.

Lin Yi opened the cloth bag and asked him to see it. Lao Cao was envious as he looked: "You are so sharp-eyed and have made so many good things again! Hey, aren't you not playing comic strips? You actually bought so many - how much does a copy cost?"

"Five pieces."

"It's cheap enough!...Oh, these books should be lacking, right? I'm so envious of you! No, I'll have to go there to take a look, wait a minute!" After saying that, Lao Cao left.

Seeing Lao Cao's anxious look as if he was being chased by someone, Lin Yi couldn't help laughing. At this time, no one said, "It's snowing." Lin Yi looked around, under the light of the search light on his forehead, clusters of fine snow fell from his head, making the "ghost market" of Panjiayuan in the dark night add an indescribable beauty.

...

After another round, Lin Yi only bought the "Complete Works of Lu Xun", a book and picture album, plus two notebooks. However, what surprised Lin Yi the most was that he only spent 5 yuan to buy a set of two memoirs directed by Li Hanxiang, "The Career of the Sea of ​​Shadows", published by the Rural Reading Publishing House in the 1980s.

Lin Yi likes Hong Kong movies in the Shaw Brothers era, so he especially likes the great director Li Hanxiang. He especially likes watching the romantic films he filmed, and finds them very interesting and beautiful. This book talks about interesting stories in the early Hong Kong film industry, and was once made into a erotic movie by Shaw Brothers. In terms of versions, there is a Hong Kong version, which is expensive online and costs more than 300 yuan. The content of this mainland version has been deleted---the main interesting stories of some movies have been deleted. Although it is a castrated version, Lin Yi is also very happy. You should know that the appearance in his hand will cost forty or fifty yuan to be put online.

Of course, it is not the happiest thing to find such a good book for 5 yuan. What excites Lin Yi the most is that he did not use his spiritual energy this time and unexpectedly picked up treasures--there was a newspaper clipping about Liu Xiaoqing in the title page of this book. After taking out the clipping, there were still words on the title page. When he looked closely, he was stunned. It turned out to be a signature book given to the great writer Zhang Zhongxing by director Li Hanxiang. It was when he came to the mainland to shoot "The Old Summer Palace" and "Personal Affairs Behind the Curtain", and he went to Peking University to give it to Mr. Zhang.

Not to mention the value of this newspaper clipping or the value of the signature book, just talking about this strange luck made Lin Yi feel the first time that the "Ghost Market" in Panjiayuan really has the fun of Baoketao.

However, if this kind of accidental treasure picking is fun, it is obvious that I underestimated Pan Jiayuan, a place where "hidden dragons and creeping tigers" is the place. Because just when Lin Yi wanted to continue to focus on his head in the book, he suddenly heard a noise---

"Look, who is that?"

"Ha, isn't it the 'Men's Clothing King' among the four kings of cultural and entertainment in Beijing?"

"So it's really him!"

"I've heard of Daming for a long time!"

...

A group of people gathered together, pointing at a man in strange clothes.

Lin Yi looked in their direction and saw a man standing on the street stall not far away, wearing an open robe that ancient monks only wore, wearing a straw hat, coarse cotton shoes, various thick beads hanging around his neck, various sizes of gourds, and other accessories. Behind him was a huge gourd - how big is that gourd? In Lin Yi's memory, it seems that in the Hong Kong TV series "Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea" in the 1980s, the one on the back was not as big as the one in front of him.

As the saying goes, it is hidden in the city. In Panjiayuan, a place where the tigers and dragons are hidden, there are a few mysterious masters, often like antelope hanging on their horns. When a terrifying geese appears, it is difficult for people in the world to find their own traces. The dragon is not seen at the head but not at the tail. However, there is no doubt that the people and things are indeed famous in the world.

The man in front of him with a big gourd is one of the four famous kings in Panjiayuan, known as the "Men's Gourd King".

This man has been wearing clothes all year round - to be precise, the same style of clothes, with a gray-white open-robed monk's robe and a straw hat. He bought and sold goods in Panjiayuan. What he sold was Buddhist beads, pendants, ornaments on his neck, and hand-carved gourds.

As for the big gourd behind him, it is not sold. It is like his sign or magic weapon. From a distance, you can tell that he is here.

The things sold by "Gourd King" are very cheap, so many small vendors like to deal with him, and he has a unique vision and the cultural relics he buys are basically good things.

If you think of him as a poor monk, you would be wrong, because he was not slandered. Under the hat, his forehead was a little bit bald. In addition, it is said that he never lacks money and does not care about money. He just wanders in Panjiayuan, twice or three times a month. When encountering some difficulties, he will take out money to help rescue him. I heard that he also knows that he is good at medical skills, but he never charges money for medical treatment. He just prescribes you for your prescriptions, believe it or not, and lets you take medicine by yourself. However, I heard that most patients who have been treated by him will recover quickly, so he is also called "miracle doctor". And his big gourd is regarded as a treasure filled with elixirs.

Because of his weird clothes and strange behavior, he only appeared once or twice a month, and then he hid in the mountains and forests, laughing and proudly. Therefore, for many people, this "Men's Clothes King" is simply a typical hermit, or a strange person,
