Liu Zichen and Shen Mingyue were watching TV while knocking melon seeds, the work of the previous year was basically over, and Yiting's mother insisted that they rest.

After all, they are guests, and it is okay to experience life, so how can they be allowed to do everything?

Liu Zichen didn't insist anymore.

On the contrary, it was Kuang Shuo and Wan Yongkun, who were full of energy, and had to find something to do no matter what, and in the end they could only take over the errand of chopping wood, and the two of them had been splitting from morning to night for several days, and they were very happy!

Mother watched the fruits of their labor pile up from the front of the house to the back of the house, and then from the ground to the roof, and although she was helpless, her heart was full of joy.

My son has such a group of good friends, what can't he do?

And she let them feel free.

These days—

Liu Zichen and the others are watching a variety show, although Shen Mingyue is not very interested, she has a big heart and can watch it with relish.

Jiahu bone flute, moire copper ban, Xin Chai tomb T-shaped silk painting, Liangzhu culture jade cong, Ningbo Wangong sedan chair, Da Keding, women's good owl zun, Luoxia style "Caifeng Mingqi" lyre, Zhu Kerou silk lotus pond duck picture, Du Hu Fu, Zeng Hou Yi chime, Yunmeng sleeping tiger land Qin Jian, Yide Prince Tomb mural "Que Lou Honor Guard", Dabao'en Temple glazed tower arch, stone drum, all kinds of glazed vases, Changsha kiln blue glaze brown color poems and texts pot, Song people copy Gu Kaizhi's "Luo Shen Futu" volume, "Kun and the whole map of all countries", Wang Ximeng "thousands of miles of rivers and mountains" volume, Gilded wooden core horseshoe, bamboo forest seven sages and Rongqi period brick paintings, Shang Ying Fangsheng, Dish Tian Quanfang, Wang Xi Yimen Shuhan scroll, grape flower and bird pattern silver sachet, Yue Wang Goujian sword!

When they were bored, they made a little game, and each person chose a favorite artifact and drew it as a souvenir. Shen Mingyue was the first to choose a silver sachet with grape flower and bird pattern, which is small and exquisite, colorful, fashion-forward, and clear-eyed.

Liu Zichen was about to choose, but the two idlers took advantage of the smoking to join in the fun, Wan Yongkun shouted to choose Du Hu Fu, hot-blooded, brave and fearless, indomitable, invincible is his wish.

The two ladies thought that Kuangsuo would choose a strange thing, but they didn't expect him to fall in love with Zeng Hou Yi's chimes at a glance, everyone was surprised, and looked at him with strange eyes, do you know music? But soon everyone was relieved: his appearance is eccentric, his heart is traditional, his skills are unique, and his unpretentiousness is his true style.

Several people stared at Liu Zichen, and roughly decided that she would inevitably choose calligraphy and painting, after all, in everyone's impression, Liu Zichen's most obvious characteristics are intellectuality and introverted, and he is smart and beautiful.

To everyone's surprise, she smiled and chose the Yue Wang Goujian sword......

Everyone coaxed her to explain the reason, just as Chen Tianyu and Li Yiting returned from the funeral, several people at home knew where they went, and hurriedly restrained their play.

The two people who just came back were not in a heavy mood, the so-called soil for peace, people will inevitably die, and everything cannot be reversed after entering the earth, so they looked down and accepted it.

Man's ability to heal oneself should not be underestimated.

Before Li Yiting could speak, Chen Tianyu glanced at him first and teased: "Yiting, why don't you tell me why Zichen likes King Yue Goujian's sword?"

Liu Zichen also agreed with great interest: "Okay...... If I guessed it, I cooked it myself. ”

Li Yiting looked around at everyone's greed, and said helplessly: "This question shouldn't be asked to me, it must be the fourth brother who knows best......"

Chen Tianyu sneered: "Of course I know, isn't this a test for you?"

Li Yiting had no choice but to raise his hand to surrender, everyone didn't let it go, and he had to ask for an answer, Li Yiting scratched his head and reluctantly answered.

He thought for a long time, and finally said, "If I remember correctly...... Well, this sword also has a name, it's called ...... Yue Nu Sword!"

Yes, isn't the Yue Nu Sword with a beautiful appearance, hidden edge, silent sacrifice and dedication, a true portrayal of Liu Zichen?

Everyone clapped their hands and said yes.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Liu Zichen covered his mouth and smiled: "Yiting is really full of knowledge!"

Li Yiting smiled embarrassedly, and he explained: "I also thought of that historical story and realized it. ”

Chen Tianyu praised: "Don't be modest, however, I guess Zichen must have other deep meanings, among us people, the highest level of cultural relics appreciation is her first one." ”

Liu Zichen was also not modest, and shook his head lightly: "You guessed wrong, but I don't want to tell you the reason, what should I do?"

"Let them think about ......it," Chen Tianyu supported her knowingly, but on a whim, "Yiting, let you choose one, what will it be?" ”

Li Yiting replied quickly, so fast that everyone was dumbfounded.

"To be honest, I wouldn't either. "He said it as if nothing happened.

Wan Yongkun couldn't help but say, "Why?"

Li Yiting said unhurriedly: "First, I have never liked antiques. ”

"Second, what do you know is that the cultural relics you see on TV now are glittering, dazzling, lifelike, with beautiful stories or legends, and arouse people's imagination......"

This time, even Kuang Suo asked: "Isn't that so?"

"Most of them are modern lighting techniques, craftsmen repair, and acquired beautification ......" Li Yiting shook his head: "I'm not afraid of everyone's jokes, I grew up in the antique pile, in my impression, the antiques are basically dull in color, mottled and cracked, dusty, exuding a strong atmosphere of decay, even if everyone likes bronzes, they are all over the patina, no luster, the older the more ugly, the bronze sword is no exception." The strange smell at home is indescribable, not to mention those fake antiques, holding dead dogs and dead cats buried in the soil for old, and it makes me sick to my stomach when I think about it. ”

You look at me, I look at you, I can't believe it.

"I tell you, my dad is the one who has studied antiques the most in the village, can't you see it? When I was young, my dad liked to toss strange things, but he has stopped over the years, and I don't know why. ”

The son inherits the father's business, this is the expert!

Chen Tianyu's heart moved, and he asked casually: "So, the Guanyin statue in the temple is old, and it must be ugly and mottled all over......"

Li Yiting nodded: "Usually the Buddha statue wears a golden crown on its head, wears a red flower, and has a curtain to cover it, and cigarettes curl up, and the only exposed face is looming, which is of course solemn and gorgeous on the surface." But if you change the clothes of the Buddha statue, you will find out the truth, the face is full of dark spots, the eyes are dark, and the body is covered with bruises, which cannot be repaired at all......"

"So that's ......" Chen Tianyu suddenly asked again: "Uh, there are also bronze swords in the village?"

"Of course, there is a handful in the ancestral hall, and I have the opportunity to take you to take a look. It's really unsightly, it's completely different from what you think. Li Yiting didn't hide it.

Shen Mingyue puffed out her cheeks and said suspiciously: "In such a small village as yours, what is placed in the ancestral hall may be a very ordinary bronze sword, so ......"

Li Yiting glanced at her amusedly: "It's old, it's absolutely genuine, and it's not bullied!" According to my uncle, it's a famous sword through the ages, and it's worth guarding the Li family from generation to generation...... Don't stare at me, I know what you're thinking, and indeed, few people in the village believe it, let alone you. ”

"This is a kind of fanatical superstition, you probably can't imagine the kind of blind ......belief that comes from the subconscious," Li Yiting sighed.

Kuang Suo said succinctly: "I can understand, totem worship." "He has a say about totems.

Li Yiting nodded, expressing his basic agreement, and he was interested again and generously revealed another piece of information.

"You've been here for so long, you must know that there are a lot of wooden houses in our village, aren't they......?

Seeing everyone nodding, he smiled: "There are a lot of antiques in it, such as blue and white porcelain plates, red sandalwood offering tables, bronze incense burners, calligraphy and paintings from the previous dynasty, these are all things used daily by our ancestors......"

Shen Mingyue innocently exclaimed: "Wow, wouldn't it be a fortune if you sell it?"

The crowd is also "green in their eyes".

Li Yiting said happily: "You group of money fans! Who dares to sell the things left by your ancestors?...... Besides, these things all carry yin energy, and if you sell them, you will be punished. ”

Chen Tianyu suddenly spoke: "It always feels strange when these words come out of your mouth. Are you sure that there really isn't a single person who sells it?"

Li Yiting shook his head very decisively: "Not only do you not believe it, but I can't believe it, it's not been an antique craze in the past few years, but these antiques in our village seem to be really cursed." Do you know how my third uncle's wife died?"

Shen Mingyue's eyes widened and asked, "How did you die?"

"Many years ago, she stole a jade bracelet, but the bracelet was not sold, and she died first!" Li Yiting's expression was a little scary.

Shen Mingyue shuddered and didn't dare to ask any more.

Chen Tianyu said lightly: "At that time, antiques were not very valuable, right...... Did you see it with your own eyes, or did you hear it from someone?"

Li Yiting sighed: "My dad said it." ”

Chen Tianyu suddenly said, "Then how did your fourth uncle die?"

Li Yiting was stunned: "Fourth uncle?"

Chen Tianyu nodded.

"When my fourth uncle died, I was still in junior high school, and I only heard ......about it when I came back from vacation," Li Yiting said helplessly.

"Oh......" Chen Tianyu thought thoughtfully.

Liu Zichen was puzzled: "There are so many treasures in your village, and other villages are not blushing?"

Before Li Yiting could speak, Chen Tianyu replied for him: "The fanaticism for antiques is also a matter of recent years, who used to rarity these broken things......

"That's too. Liu Zichen understood.

"How come I didn't live in the past, collecting a Yue Nu sword, and others couldn't look down on it. She suddenly sighed.

"Think beautiful...... Chen Tianyu chuckled.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Mother suddenly came in and said, "Pavilion, someone is looking for you outside the door." ”

"Who?" asked Li Yiting in surprise.

The mother shook her head: "It's a little familiar, I don't know it, he said he came to ask something, it's not from our village." ”

Several people walked to the living room suspiciously, and outside the door stood a slender young man, casually looking at the beautifully carved beam on the roof of the living room.

Seeing Li Yiting and them coming out, Qiu Xi let out an exclamation: "What a beautiful lacquer painting!"

Lacquer painting is actually a kind of rural carpenter's craft that carves flowers, birds, fish and insects on hardwood, and then paints red lacquer prepared by himself, which can maintain the bright color for a long time.

Liu Zichen spoke first: "You know how to do it." ”

Qiu Xi glanced at the two ladies, his eyes were a little straight, is there such a beautiful woman in the village girl? He quickly restrained his young throbbing heart, after all, he was a serious person.

His face was slightly red, and he said embarrassedly: "I've heard of it before, but I haven't seen it with my own eyes, which makes you laugh." ”

Li Yiting heard the words and said: "Don't talk about you, I live here every day, and I don't know what kind of lacquer painting is spreading...... I still applied the paint to this painting. "He himself is happy, and some things, in the form of false rumors, are always purposefully magnified.

"Officer Qiu, are you looking for me?"

Qiu Xi nodded hurriedly: "Li Fuqi Village Party Secretary told me that you live here, so I came here to take a look." ”

Li Yiting thought to himself, you didn't see my appearance clearly that day, but he didn't want to deliberately break it.

"Then come in and sit down for a while. Li Yiting greeted.

Qiu Xi shook his head: "I have other things, just talk here for a while......"

It seems that he was really passing by, probably because he suddenly remembered that Li Yiting was Li Miaozhu's nephew, and he didn't want to run in vain.

Li Yiting nodded, not reluctantly, several people sat down in the living room, Chen Tianyu sat on the big bluestone at the door, Li Yiting sat directly on the threshold, and Qiu Xi sat down on the long wooden bench in a restrained manner.

"That's right...... As you know, I've been investigating the theft of the Guanyin Temple for some time, and I'm not going to hide it from you, and I'm basically making no progress. Qiuxi admitted frankly that he didn't know why, he didn't think there was any need to hide it, but this was a taboo in the investigation profession.

Chen Tianyu reminded first: "You don't have to tell us about the progress of the investigation of the case. ”

Qiuxi's face turned red again, as if someone had seen through his shallow professional foundation.

"Hmm...... I'm here just to ask, do you have any key suspects here?" he asked Li Yiting, a little afraid to look at the others.

Li Yiting thought for a while before saying: "Actually, we were also discussing this matter just now, and the general judgment is that someone saw that he wanted to make money, so he stole the statue of Guanyin." ”

Qiuxi agreed: "It should be like this. ”

Li Yiting continued: "Now that the Buddha statue is becoming more and more popular in the antique market, the Guanyin Buddha statue in our village must have a history of more than two or three hundred years, and the price should be very expensive. ”

Chen Tianyu added: "If I'm not mistaken, at least more than a meter tall. ”

Qiu Xi agreed: "I haven't seen the real thing, according to Luo Ming, two or three hundred thousand must be worth it, it's not surprising that someone is tempted by such a large sum of money." Can...... At present, several suspects have ample alibis, so I would like to ask you for your opinions. ”

Li Yiting glanced at Chen Tianyu, but saw that the fourth brother shook his head slightly, he had no choice but to say: "With such a large cultural relic, the possibility of the gang committing a crime is still greater, since it is to make money, then it must be found in advance, in this case, it is inevitable to produce transportation, so as to make ......a move as soon as possible," he paused, and added, "There are not many families with cars in the village, and it may be possible to lock the target faster from this aspect." ”

Qiu Xi was surprised: "This is indeed the reason...... But wouldn't the thieves hide the Buddha statue first and wait for the limelight to pass before they attack? Wouldn't that be safer?"

Li Yiting wanted to speak and stopped, and finally said: "The thing is still too big......

"Things have been transferred, there is no evidence, this is troublesome......" Qiuxi's mood was a little low, but suddenly realized something, "I want to ask, what do you do? ”

Li Yiting scratched his head in embarrassment and glanced at Chen Tianyu for help.

Chen Tianyu smiled strangely: "It's also fate, he almost became your colleague." ”

"I see, it's a pity. Qiuxi didn't continue to ask, and seemed to be lost in thought.

Li Yiting secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and simply said: "I have a proposal, or you let your colleagues in the city check if there is any information about the recent transaction of large Buddha statues, people in the industry should not be able to hide it." ”

Qiuxi gave a thumbs up and said, "Good idea! I'll arrange it right away." It's not early, so I won't bother, thank you for your cooperation. ”

Li Yiting said politely: "Do you want to have a lunch at home?"

"It's still not a bother, if there are any clues, please let me know in time. ”

A few people casually said a few polite words, and Qiuxi took his leave.

Looking at his departing back, Shen Mingyue said happily: "Isn't this person a little stupid?"

Liu Zichen stopped: "Don't talk nonsense, aren't you stupid." ”

"Okay. Shen Mingyue said helplessly, "It seems that if the bad guy doesn't have two bad words written on his face, he won't be able to recognize him if he is killed...... Hee-hee......"

Li Yiting thought thoughtfully: "Fourth brother, you said that he has no experience, when will he be able to solve the case, why don't you let me help him?"

Chen Tianyu didn't speak, and Liu Zichen replied for him: "Maybe Tianyu thinks that it doesn't matter who the thief is, if you get your hands on the treasures of this village once, they can still hold on to it?"

"If it's a gang, there's no point in catching one. She added, "It's good to help when it matters most." ”

Several people nodded one after another, and Chen Tianyu did not refute.

Li Yiting laughed and said, "According to the urine nature of the fourth brother, will it be so simple? ”

Everyone couldn't help but focus on Chen Tianyu again.
