"How old are you?" Lin Sanjiu whispered, "You can't even hold an item properly, let alone break it!"
Bohemia was the one who received the comment.
"You are so annoying," she grumbled. "The pocket dimension creature has already turned the page, but you are still stuck."
However, even Bohemia knew that she was in the wrong. At this moment, she could not say that she was right. It was not because she had broken a hand mirror, but because when she broke the hand mirror and attracted everyone's attention, the item that could be used to exchange for "Snow in February" had disappeared.
A few minutes ago, when Lin Sanjiu rushed to the second stall, she glanced around and found that there was nothing in the stall that required "pairs".
There were a few puzzle toys, a small inflatable plastic swimming pool, and a huge handbag. After making sure that she was not at the wrong stall, Lin Sanjiu asked tentatively, "Excuse me, did you sell the item just now?"
"How did you know that I just sold something?" The pocket dimension creature lady in the second stall asked happily. "That was my first deal. It was when you were all gathered around the third stall."
Lin Sanjiu shot a glance at Bohemia. The latter's mouth was half open, as if she couldn't believe what she had just heard. "Who? Who? Isn't it too fast? How long has it been? "
"I'm sorry," the pocket dimension creature lady spread her hands and said, "To protect the buyer, I can't tell you this information. If someone got the item before us, and we revealed his identity, then someone stronger than him could just snatch it from us. What's the point of this pocket dimension? "
Bohemia and Lin Sanjiu grumbled at each other. Unfortunately, Bohemia couldn't bring herself to be stubborn. Her face scrunched up as she spoke.
Lin Sanjiu thought for a moment and turned around to look at the grassy courtyard.
Of course, she could not tell who bought the items from the outside. This pocket dimension allowed posthumans to temporarily store items into storage items. However, from another perspective, the person who was most likely to buy the "pairs" was the man who refused to say anything.
On the surface, he seemed to have left decisively. However, when Lin Sanjiu had no choice but to stop and turn around to talk to the stall owner, if he had turned back a few steps and listened carefully, would he have heard what the stall owner wanted to say? If he had taken the opportunity to buy "Pairs of Pairs" while Lin Sanjiu was distracted, he would have gone to buy "Snow in February" now.
However, the man was now standing at the other end of the courtyard, next to the No. 1 stall. Lin Sanjiu didn't know if he was trying to keep his distance from Lin Sanjiu or if he was trying to pretend that the item wasn't in his hands.
"Go and keep an eye on stall number five," she told Bohemia. "See that man over there? I think he's going to trade for February Xue. “
"Got it! How dare you snatch food from the tiger's mouth, "Bohemia rubbed her palms together and walked away," Don't waste my time. "
Indeed, even though the pocket dimension had only started less than ten minutes ago, if the hints given by every stall were as easy to guess as "Snow in February", many people would have been thinking of ways to "pay" by now. Lin Sanjiu quickly turned around and asked the No. 2 stall owner, "What's your hint?"
The hint came immediately. "I'm carrying you. What am I?"
"Wait a minute." Lin Sanjiu was stunned. She scanned the table again and found nothing that seemed to be related to the hint. The only thing left was the item that wasn't there. "Since it's a pair and it's carrying me, the answer can't be a pair of shoes, can it?"
"Is the item you're selling a pair of shoes?" Lin Sanjiu asked cautiously with a hint of shock in her heart. "This is not related to the buyer's information, so it should be fine, right?"
The No. 2 stall owner nodded his head.
"Mom's shoes are very easy to wear," the lady from the pocket dimension said with a smile, "I bought a few pairs in one go, but I couldn't wear them because I was busy with work. The last pair was kept in the shoe cabinet, and it was quite clean. So, I took it out and sold it."
While she was introducing the background, Lin Sanjiu could vaguely hear the stall owner telling the skinny teenager and the woman in the pink dress what the hint was. However, even if the other party was just a pocket dimension creature and not a living person, Lin Sanjiu couldn't just walk away when the stall owner was still talking. When the stall owner finally finished, Lin Sanjiu nodded hastily and ran to the stall owner. By the time the stall owner had finished talking, the skinny teenager and the woman in the pink dress pounced on the items on the table like wolves.
"What's your hint?" Lin Sanjiu asked anxiously.
"Some of us know, and some of us don't. But, if we ask and answer, we will know," the stall owner repeated.
This hint was a lot more vague than the previous one, and it could point to many things. Lin Sanjiu peeked through the gaps between the necks and shoulders of the other two people and finally saw a four-piece single bed set and a painting box on the table. Before she could figure out what the hint was referring to, the skinny teenager suddenly raised a "History of Modern Art: Sixth Edition" and said, "This is it, right?"
The lady from the pocket dimension creature would never comment on the result. She just smiled and asked, "Do you want this textbook?"
"Why is it a textbook?" The middle-aged woman in the pink dress straightened her back. She was still a little confused.
"Obviously, the hint is referring to some kind of 'knowledge'. That's why some people know about it, and some people don't. The skinny youth seemed to be very satisfied. "Isn't the thing that has the most to do with knowledge teaching materials? I want it. How much is it? "
Lin Sanjiu had a vague idea of what the stall owner was talking about.
"There is an unopened, brand-new bag on stall number six. It is the only brand-new item in the entire Old Antique Fair," the stall owner said with a smile, "If you take it, you can buy my textbook."
The skinny teenager put down the textbook and shouted, "Keep it for me!" Regardless of whether the stall owner agreed or not, he rushed toward stall number six. The middle-aged woman in the pink dress frowned, but she did not move. Lin Sanjiu did not care about what the woman was going to do next. When the skinny teenager ran out of the stall, Lin Sanjiu had already followed closely behind him.
If she did not slow down, she would have already reached the stall ahead of the skinny teenager.
"What are you doing?" The skinny teenager stopped in front of stall number six and said, "I found the textbook. Are you going to snatch it?"
"Just take it. I just want to take a look." Lin Sanjiu did not even pant. When she stopped, she looked as if she had not moved at all. It was as if she knew that she should not provoke her.
The skinny teenager was more observant than Lin Sanjiu, so he did not say anything. There was an old card case on stall number six, a few drawings that seemed to be the work of the same person, and a wooden model of a human body … The only thing that was brand new and unopened was a bag of underwear at the corner of the stall.
Lin Sanjiu asked first, "What's the hint?"
"Even though it is always with a person, they might not be aware of it. They might not even notice it," the stall owner answered. "Oh, for the price, there is a black and white item on stall number four. You can give it to me."
The skinny teenager was stunned.
'Did he understand it? '
"I have a question." Lin Sanjiu looked at the stall owner and said, "For example, if I find the item you want … and I give it to you, what happens next?"
Behind stall number six, the identical Pocket Dimension Creature tilted her head. "Then? What else? "
"I mean, what happens after I give you the item?" Lin Sanjiu asked.
"That's a weird question," the stall owner laughed. Stall Number Six smiled. "That's what I want. Naturally, I'll keep it and bring it home after the fair ends."
"As expected …" Lin Sanjiu sighed inwardly.
Even though the hints were straightforward and easy to guess, it was probably impossible to collect all the winning items.
From the looks of it, every item that the hints pointed to was the "price" of another item. When they were handed in as the price, they disappeared from the auction.
"I have two doctor appointments next week. I need to get my hair cut (Long hair is too annoying). I also need to have a celebratory dinner with my family and friends. On the 12th, I need to go to another city for a company event … Now that I think about it … I can't apply for leave anymore."
