Chapter 384 Family Heirloom

However, the stall owner still couldn't control his subconsciously stiff body.

The expression on his face was a bit embarrassed and flustered.

The feeling of being in the center of a cold wave is simply sour and refreshing.

The uncle was about to cry.

Why did he feel like this girl seemed to have something against him?
But he obviously didn't do anything.

The uncle felt so wronged.

……

"Please let me see the round wooden cage next to you."

The polite and courteous words give people a sense of strength that cannot be refused.

Su Youjin said with great patience.

She knew she shouldn't get angry before she understood the situation.

However, the fact that the cage belonged to the stall owner was enough to make her feel bad for him.

Fortunately, she has always been indifferent and good at hiding her emotions.

Therefore, it is difficult for ordinary people to tell whether she is angry or not.

……

"Uh, this?"

The stall owner was so surprised that he didn't even shrink back, but straightened his back.

"Yes."

Su Youjin looked at the wooden cage without any concealment...and the silver in it.

Her flickering amber eyes made it hard to guess what she was thinking.

"But this one is very old and doesn't look good."

How could such a beautiful girl like this?
The stall owner was somewhat confused and puzzled.

It’s not that the stall owner is honest, but the facts are obvious. Even if he wants to cover it up, he will only make a fool of himself.

Besides, this cage...
……

It was indeed as the stall owner said, compared to other items on the stall, this round wooden cage was dark in color, with ugly stains and color blocks on it, the wooden strips were of different sizes, and many of the edges were no longer smooth, but rough.

No matter how you look at it, it's an ugly, old object that no one would pick up even if you throw it in the trash.

"Then why does the boss still stay?"

Xiao Xiao asked curiously.

"There's nothing I can do about it. Things passed down from our ancestors are considered treasures."

The stall owner laughed awkwardly, and felt a little embarrassed later on.

There is a hint of "This is it, is it a treasure?"

Only his drooping eyelids blocked the obscure light in his eyes.

……

At first, he did think so.

But later, his thoughts changed dramatically.

……

He once believed that nothing happens without a clue, and he studied this cage for a long time.

However, this is a hollow cage made of wood. It is not a box, nor is it made of any thick material. Naturally, it cannot have something like a mezzanine to hide things.

He held the cage up to the sun, tried soaking it in water, and also tried burning it. After all, it was passed down from generation to generation in his family, so he couldn't be too reckless. If he destroyed the cage, his father and grandfather would beat him to death.

As a result, nothing was found.

In the end, he even foolishly tried to acknowledge his master by dripping blood.

It was mainly because he was young and ignorant, and his brain was poisoned by the novel, and it suddenly gave him a shock. The cage now still has the blood stains from that time.

Unfortunately, still no response.

After trying everything he could think of to no avail, he had to admit that this treasure, said to have been passed down from his great-great-grandfather, was just an ordinary wooden cage.

He didn't understand how such a thing became his family heirloom?
Although his family was just an ordinary country family, they were not so poor as to treat such things as heirlooms.

But according to his late grandfather, this item can bring good luck.

He originally scoffed at it, thinking it was just old people being superstitious.

However, something happened later that completely changed his mind.

That year, he went home with his fellow villagers to celebrate the New Year.

Encountered a runaway truck on the road.

As a result, the fellow villager died on the spot, while he was standing on the side of the road holding the small round wooden cage, but he only had some scratches.

At that time, he took his family heirloom to the city for appraisal. Even if there was nothing special about this thing, it was an object that had been passed down for so many years and was still intact. Although it became scarred because of his various attempts, he was also beaten severely with a rattan by his father because of this.

However, no matter what, it should be of some value.

He didn't want to sell it, he just wanted to have some peace of mind in case of emergency.

When the situation really comes to an emergency, no matter whether it is a family heirloom or not, a living person is always more important than a dead object.

……

Before the car accident, he was walking side by side with his fellow villagers and chatting happily.

After the car accident, one of them died and the other lived.

Moreover, he was almost unharmed.

All the onlookers and the police and paramedics who arrived later were amazed and thought that he was blessed by God. They joked that he should buy a lottery ticket while his luck was still there, as he might win the jackpot.

He didn't know whether he was really lucky and blessed by God, or whether his family heirloom protected him.

At that moment, he suddenly remembered his grandfather's last words.

The old man repeatedly told him to take good care of their family heirloom, saying that it could ward off disasters for their family.

Is it true?
Regardless of whether it is true or false, having come back from the brink of death, he is willing to believe it is true.

This inconspicuous, old and dirty spherical wooden cage is indeed a treasure of their family.

Since then, this treasure has never left his side.

He always carries it with him, never leaving it.

He didn't know if it was its effect, but for decades, he hadn't encountered any disaster. Although he would feel regretful occasionally, it would be better if this treasure could bring him wealth.

But peace is a blessing.

He is no longer young and understands that he should be content.

……

Therefore, he would never sell this treasure.

Moreover, to take a step back, even if his family heirloom did not have such magical effects, he would not sell it unless he was at his wit's end.

After all, this is a family heirloom that has been passed down in his family to this day.

Not to mention, it has such a miraculous power of protection?
But he didn't understand why this girl fell in love with his baby?
It's not that he is sensitive. After years of selling things on the street, he has this kind of vision.

Although the girl had a cold expression, her eyes were sparkling as she looked at her baby.

……

Obviously outsiders shouldn't know how strange it is.

The stall owner couldn't help but be alert, but his expression was simple and honest, with a bit of helplessness, "I can't help it. This is something passed down from my ancestors. When my grandfather passed away, he repeatedly told me to take good care of it and pass it down from generation to generation."

"As a younger generation, it is not good to do things that disobey the elders."
