1230 Is This the Cultural Attraction You Mentioned?
The two of them did not drive today. Instead, they chose to take the subway to Nishidiwa.
Cheng Fei’er had accidentally found out about this place when she was looking for information. However, when she arrived at her destination, she was immediately disappointed.
In her impression, Edo, an international metropolis, should be filled with tall buildings and a very modern image.
However, this Nishidiwa looked very old, and the buildings were all in the style of the 1960s and 1970s.
Although the streets were kept very clean, it still could not hide the dilapidated state of the place.
She secretly looked at Ye Feng’s expression, afraid that he would tell the leader in anger.
But what was out of her expectations was that Ye Feng did not show any unhappiness on his face. Instead, he looked around with interest.
Ye Feng looked at the dilapidated buildings and asked casually, “This is the cultural attraction you mentioned?”
Cheng Fei’er’s pretty face blushed slightly. “I didn’t know this place was so shabby. If you don’t like it, we can change places.”
But Ye Feng shook his head. “Who says I don’t like it? I think this place is very good. If I find treasure, I’ll count you in.”
When Cheng Fei’er heard the first half of his sentence, she was only slightly surprised, but when she heard the second half, she was a little shocked.
“Looking for treasures? Is there any treasure here?” She looked puzzled.
“This place is so old. I guess there should be a lot of good things inside,” Ye Feng said as he quickly walked toward those dilapidated buildings.
“Tsk, daydreaming,” Cheng Fei’er muttered to his back.
Did this guy think that there would be antiques in a dilapidated place? It was simply wishful thinking.
Although Ye Feng had used his actions to prove that he was extraordinary, Cheng Fei’er did not believe that he could pick up a treasure so easily, unless he was not human.
But soon, she was slapped in the face.
The moment Ye Feng walked into this dilapidated street, he immediately activated the system’s deep scanning.
It was like a radar, constantly feeding back information about the surrounding items.
On the surface, he seemed to be looking at the old buildings here, and nothing else could be seen.
After walking for about five minutes, he suddenly stopped in front of a dilapidated courtyard.
The small courtyard was not big, and because it had been in disrepair for a long time, a large part of the white wall had fallen off, and no one had rebuilt it.
From this, it could be seen that this courtyard was either uninhabited or the owner’s family was poor and could not afford to repair it.
“Why aren’t you leaving?” Cheng Fei’er saw him stop in his tracks and was immediately puzzled.
“I’m a little thirsty. Let’s go in and get a glass of water.” Ye Feng made up a random reason.
“There seems to be a supermarket in front. Why don’t we just go and buy a bottle of water? Why bother others?” Cheng Fei’er pointed at a small supermarket a dozen meters ahead.
“If there’s free water, why should I spend money?” Ye Feng asked a question that confused Cheng Fei’er.
The great Mr. Ye, a tycoon with hundreds of billions of assets, actually asked for free water to save 2 yuan of mineral water?
If word got out, people would probably laugh their teeth out, right?
Ye Feng did not give her the chance to talk nonsense. He walked to the door and knocked. “Is anyone there?”
He knocked for two to three minutes, but there was no response.
“I guess no one lives in this house? I think we should forget about it.” Cheng Fei’er tried to persuade him again.
“Don’t worry, someone will open the door soon,” Ye Feng casually replied.
“How did you know…”
Cheng Fei’er was about to disagree with him, but before she could finish, she heard footsteps coming from inside.
The courtyard door was opened very quickly. An old lady with a head full of white hair poked her head out. “Who are you looking for?”
Ye Feng immediately revealed a harmless smile. “Hello, we are here to play, and we are a little thirsty. Can we ask for a glass of water?”
Old Mrs. Han was stunned for a moment, but she quickly regained her senses. She sized up the two of them before pushing the door open. “Come in.”
Ye Feng immediately called out to Cheng Fei’er and entered the courtyard first.
Cheng Fei’er greeted the old lady and followed him in.
The small courtyard was not big, and because it had been in disrepair for a long time, it was a little dilapidated, but it was tidied up in an orderly manner.
It could be seen that although this old lady had difficulty moving, she was a very delicate woman.
After Ye Feng entered the living room, he looked around as if nothing had happened. His gaze finally landed on a piece of porcelain in front of the Buddha statue on the altar.
The porcelain was white with blue and white flowers. It looked like a brush wash, but it was placed there as an incense burner. There were a few incense sticks stuck on it, and it was emitting light smoke.
He only took a glance before looking away.
At this moment, the old lady came over with two glasses of water. “We haven’t had guests in a long time. We only have plain water. I’m sorry to make a fool of myself.”
The two of them took the water and thanked the old lady.
Ye Feng glanced at the brush wash and then looked at the old lady as if nothing had happened. “Do you believe in Buddhism?”
The old lady’s face turned sour. “I didn’t believe it in the past, but ever since my husband and son passed away, I began to worship Buddha. I hope that I can accumulate some blessings for them in the Elysian World.”
Cheng Fei’er looked at the old lady and sighed in her heart. She quickly comforted her.
Meanwhile, Ye Feng stood up and walked toward the altar. He pretended to light two incense sticks and put them into the ‘incense burner’, then asked in surprise as if he had just discovered it: “This seems to be a brush wash? Why are you using it as an incense burner?”
The old lady smiled bitterly. “This was used by my husband when he was still alive to write calligraphy. I’m relying on the Z family’s charity to survive now, and I don’t have the money to buy an incense burner, so I’ll just make do with this.”
Ye Feng turned around and looked at her. “To be honest, this brush wash is an antique. I wonder if you intend to sell it?”
When Cheng Fei’er and the old lady heard this, their mouths fell open in shock.
Antiques?
“Antiques?” Especially the old lady, her face was filled with disbelief. She probably didn’t expect that the broken jar left behind by her husband was actually an antique.
Ye Feng picked up the brush wash and looked at it for a while before turning back. “I am Chinese, and this brush wash belongs to China. There used to be a scholar in China called Tang Bohu. This brush wash was used by him. It can be said to be priceless now.”
If it was someone else, he might have played some tricks and tricked this brush wash out.
However, seeing that the old lady’s life was so difficult and that she was kind, he really couldn’t do anything to deceive the old lady. He could only tell her the truth.
The old lady obviously didn’t have any concept of Tang Bohu, but Cheng Fei’er was stunned.
No matter how uncultured she was, she knew Tang Bohu’s name.
She didn’t expect to encounter the brush wash used by Tang Bohu when they came to ask for a cup of water. What kind of luck was this?
The old lady looked at Ye Feng hesitantly. “Priceless? How much is that?”
Ye Feng pondered for a moment before giving a shocking price. “At least 150 million.”
