Chapter 142: Treasure at the bottom of the river
Looking at Ye Tian's wolfing appearance, Yali couldn't help but ask, "Who is it that has hurt you so badly?"
Ye Tian paused, stopped the chopsticks for eating, and said, "I won't tell you, not because I don't believe you, but because I don't want you to get involved and get into trouble that shouldn't have been caused." ”
Listening to Ye Tian's words, Yali looked at him thoughtfully and nodded, without speaking.
Ye Tian smiled and continued to eat, but the speed slowed down.
Now that Ye Tian is "dead", what he has to do now is to hibernat, bury himself, and wait for a critical opportunity to fight for his life.
"Is that flute thing you said true? Can a tiny flute really be worth that much money?"
Yali's eyes were shining, and she looked towards the door repeatedly, as if she was expecting something, after all, for her, five million was something she never dreamed of.
Ye Tian smiled and said, "Don't worry, I still have this bit of eyesight, you just wait for your brother's good news." ”
Yali had a bright smile on her face when she heard this, and the corners of her mouth were raised high: "If this is true, then didn't we send it?"
"Yes, but I want to know, where did you get this thing, a family heirloom?" Ye Tian asked with some curiosity.
Looking at the brother and sister, they really don't look like some rich and noble family, it is estimated that the ancestors are also three generations of poor peasants, how can they pass down such a delicate treasure?
"If only it were a family heirloom, then how could we hang the precious things on the wall at will, this is what my brother picked up from the river before. Yali replied seriously, and her suspicion of the five million in Ye Tian's mouth rose again.
Ye Tian was a little shocked when he heard this, five million were fished out of the river, no matter how it sounded, it seemed like an excuse to deceive children.
"Such a good thing would be thrown into the river at will, isn't that logical?" Ye Tian opened his mouth to explain, his tone full of doubts.
Yali really didn't think about this thing, the main problem is that they never regarded this thing as a treasure.
Now that he suddenly heard Ye Tian say that he could sell for five million, he couldn't hide the shock in his heart.
Yali looked at Ye Tian a little blankly, and it took a long time before she said, "Maybe the person who threw this thing doesn't know that it's a treasure?"
"No way. Ye Tian denied this statement at the first time.
This flute is bright and exquisitely made, if not an antique, it is definitely a rare instrument, how could anyone throw this into the river?
Ye Tian pondered and meditated for a while, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind.
"I see," Ye Tianyi patted his head, "You may indeed have picked it up from the river." ”
Yali looked at him inexplicably, not understanding what Ye Tian was thinking.
"Do you have paper and pen?" Ye Tian spread his hands at her.
Yali was stunned for a moment, then walked over to a small table and pulled open a drawer, taking out a piece of paper from it.
At first glance, it looks like a workbook that was popular in elementary school, and the pen is also a sharpened pencil.
Ye Tian looked at these things and felt a little emotion in his heart.
He took it and placed it on the table, moved his bowl away, and drew a shape of the river with a pencil, on which he marked the upstream and downstream.
"You see, where we are now, this should be here. Ye Tian pointed to a place downstream and made a small cross with a pencil.
Yali nodded, did not speak, and continued to listen.
Ye Tian pointed to an estuary like a pot mouth and said, "This is a bay, if there is anything downstream, it is likely to be washed down here." ”
Yali compared the distance and said, "That's a long way off." ”
Ye Tian nodded and said, "There may be other treasures in this upstream, and it is unlikely that such a thing will appear out of thin air." ”
Ye Tian's heart was thoughtful, but Yali obviously didn't understand these things, so she just nodded a little blankly.
In the evening, Toko finally returned.
Seeing that Dongzi came back empty-handed, Ye Tian's heart was stable for nine points, he must have bought something, and looking at his happy face, he must have bought a good price.
"What's going on, brother, is the thing real or fake?" Yali was also a little nervous and excited.
After all, five million is not a small amount, which can put their poor little family letter on the track of happiness in an instant.
Dongzi wiped the sweat from his face, he ran back all the way, and his whole body was steaming.
He looked at Ye Tian and said loudly: "It's sold, really! I really bought five million!"
"Oh my God!" Yali jumped up in surprise, and as soon as her hand holding the chopsticks loosened, something crackled and fell to the ground. Yali quickly grabbed a broom and cleaned up the debris on the ground.
"Brother, you are really amazing, I took this thing and asked someone, and I said that it would cost five million, and guess what? The man agreed without saying a word, and looked like he had taken advantage of it. ”
Dongzi excitedly held Ye Tian's hand and shook it fiercely, this huge amount of money that fell from the sky had completely knocked him unconscious, and he was so happy at this moment that he didn't know how to express it.
He was even more grateful to Ye Tian, but because he was stupid and excited, he would only praise him repeatedly in a few words.
"You will be my brother in the future, if you don't dislike it, if there is anything in the future, you say a word, and I promise to do it for you desperately!" Dongzi patted his chest incoherently.
Ye Tian smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "It's nothing, you saved me, I should do this." ”
Dongzi hid the passbook in the cabinet, and then said to the two with a smile: "I thought about it when I was on the road, we will change houses when the time comes, and then buy a better fishing boat." ”
Yali prepared a meal for Dongzi, and she sat aside, looking up at Ye Tian from time to time, with a light of adoration and curiosity in her eyes.
"Dongzi, where did that jade flute of yours come from?" Ye Tian chewed the green vegetables in his mouth and asked casually.
Dongzi thought for a while and said, "I go out to fish every day, and that jade flute was picked up in the river a few days ago. ”
These are the same as what Yali said to herself, but Ye Tian always felt that they had forgotten which details.
Ye Tian looked at him thoughtfully and said, "Then did you find anything else in the river?"
Dongzi thought about it carefully, but that day was the same as every day before, except for picking up the jade flute, nothing else was abnormal.
Dongzi finally shook his head.
Maybe he didn't see it, Ye Tian thought silently, that place should be a treasure land.
"When you go out fishing tomorrow, call me, and let's go over and have a look. ”
"Okay!" Dongzi agreed, and then lowered his head and frantically grilled the rice, apparently hungry.
After a while, he raised his head and looked at Ye Tian, his eyes flashing with adoring starlight, "Brother, is there still a treasure there?"
Ye Tian just smiled and didn't speak.
