Chapter 7: Empty Bottles
The jade flat side has been found!
It's not hidden anywhere else, it's on the roof. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
What dared to fall from the ceiling was a large camphor wood box with a lock, and the contents of the box were more than 100 catties. Such a heavy thing was hidden in the ceiling by Zou Shuncai, so it is no wonder that he added several supporting log stakes to the house.
It's a pure coincidence, if it weren't for Hong Yanwu's negative kick, I wouldn't have been able to find this treasure today.
But on the other hand, it is indeed enough to hang.
It wasn't a few bricks, if all of a sudden, it was really smashed on the Tianling cover by such a hard and heavy box, even Hong Yanwu might not be able to stand it, and he would have to lie down on the spot.
But fortunately, isn't there still Chen Liquan in the house? His "fire body" had already been practiced with Yu Ye, and as soon as the room rang, he felt that something was about to come down.
So when the box was completely smashed down, he noticed that something was wrong, and he had already jumped to Hong Yanwu's side first.
The result was just in time, just before the box was about to hit Hong Yanwu, Chen Liquan just reached out and copied it, and finally caught the box dangerously with his strength enough to play with hundreds of catties of stone locks.
When the box was placed on the ground smoothly, the dust that shook off the ceiling and the dust fluttered before it was finished, and at this time, Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan both fell with dirty dirt on their heads, and the whole two of them were living stove kings.
Hong Yanwu scolded a foul word, and spit a mouthful of phlegm on the ground hatefully, but he didn't attack before he rushed to Zou Shun. Zou Shuncai poured out of the bed, and he collapsed from the bed to the ground.
What's wrong?
Hey, this old boy is scared!
In fact, Zou Shuncai was not afraid that Hong Yanwu would be angry with him again, the key was that the things in that box were too important.
Regardless of asking, it can be seen that the box is full of good things that he has finally collected, and he was afraid that he would be remembered after he was unlucky, so he had already prevented someone from coming to the door to blackmail, so he figured out such a trick to hide on it.
If Chen Liquan really didn't catch it, it would be all over. So when it comes to the roots, it is he who should be most grateful to Chen Liquan.
When the lock was smashed and the box was opened, the whole room felt lit up, and even Hong Yanwu was shocked.
There's a lot of food in it, and it's all about fine cultural plays.
There are calligraphy and painting scrolls, pure gold music boxes, jewelry boxes inlaid with luodian, ivory chopsticks, glass snuff bottles, wood carved pen holders, celadon pen washes, Sanhe Liu's gourds, pastel pigeon whistles, bird food jars...... And at the bottom of the box is the jade flat square of Hong Yanwu's mother, and even the yellow silk wrapped on the outside is still the same piece back then.
"Okay, this box is far more than five thousand dollars. It is said that it has become a fine toad love treasure, 'Zou toad', your home is really a toad nest. Now, old fellow, what else do you have to say! I think I'm really going to have to tear you apart like your toad nest, and see what good things are left ......."
Seeing Hong Yanwu approaching with a hideous face and gritting his teeth, Zou Shuncai trembled like chaff again, and even his voice carried a desperate fear.
"I'm a bastard, I'm not human, I'm blinded by lard! I have four hundred, four hundred dollars in cash, as long as you spare me, don't smash things again, leave the box for me, and I'll give the money willingly." I don't even have a home, that's all I have left, you're my ancestor, pity me......"
On the way home, Chen Liquan's right hand was in his trouser pocket and kept rubbing, refusing to take it out.
Hong Yanwu saw it in his eyes, and he was happy in his heart.
No one else knows, but he does. The reason why Chen Liquan was reluctant to stretch out his hand was actually because he had a gold-shell watch in his pocket from the late Qing Dynasty.
"Vacheron Constantin", artificial kinetic energy, with dust cover and original gold bracelet.
If you have to say that there is anything wrong with this watch, that is, it is a watch used by Sushun, which is a bit unlucky. But if it weren't for that, I'm afraid Zou Shuncai would still be reluctant to give it.
It turned out that Hong Yanwu thought about it again and again just now, and finally agreed to Zou Shuncai's conditions. In addition to his own jade flat square, he didn't take anything else from Zou Shuncai, and only received the "compensation" of 400 yuan in cash.
It's just that when he was leaving, he was reluctant to put down the watch in the box because he saw Chen Liquan holding the watch in the box, so he temporarily changed his hexagram and proposed to Zou Shuncai to make a match for this watch.
Zou Shuncai was naturally afraid of provoking the evil star and causing any more changes, so he had to grit his teeth and reluctantly agree, but at that time, his expression was like being cut alive.
"Xiao Wu, this case is so slippery, it's comfortable to touch. I see there's a white one in the box, and there's a gem on it, why didn't you just take it? By the way, aren't these gadgets easy to take with you? You also said that the box of things is more than 5,000 yuan, so why don't we take more?"
It was precisely because he found that Hong Yanwu was always looking at him with a smile that Chen Liquan felt a little embarrassed, so he asked this sentence. But Hong Yanwu's answer below was very unexpected to him.
"Quanzi, if you have a bottle of Erguotou that you just bought, and someone asks you to throw it away, will you throw it away?"
"What's the matter? That's not stupid. ”
"What if it's half a bottle?"
"You can drink half a bottle, but the wine can't be broken......" Chen Liquan's eyes widened, and he turned his face to look at Hong Yanwu in confusion.
"What about the empty bottle?" Hong Yanwu remained silent.
"If you have to throw it away, then I'll throw it away, anyway, it's only two points to sell scrap, and we don't have a shortage of soy sauce bottles." Chen Liquan still didn't understand, he pondered Hong Yanwu's expression as he spoke.
His expression couldn't help but make Hong Yanwu laugh.
"Quanzi, you really know how to live, and you are reluctant to throw away anything useful...... However, this can also explain a reason. We don't feel sorry for the empty bottles, but as long as there is wine, no one is willing to drop. What I mean is that 'Zou Toad' is like this wine bottle. Today, we have already got it for him, and the jade flat square has been recovered, with a gold watch and four hundred yuan. not only beat him, but also smashed a few of his belongings, and made him lose face in front of his neighbors, so that the old boy would have to move in the future. So he's now the half-empty bottle......"
At this point, he hesitated again before continuing.
"Don't forget, 'Zou Toad' is already a homeless person, so he lives by guarding the little thing he got at the beginning. And I don't think he's all about making money, he seems to be a little obsessed with these things. Otherwise, his family wouldn't have just had these hundreds of dollars, and the ones you smashed today, except for the last one, are not really precious, but he is still as uncomfortable as if he is going to die. So I thought we should give him the rest of the 'wine' to drink, and you say, isn't that old thing completely an 'empty bottle'? If he has no hope of this, I'm afraid he will really dare to 'smash' himself......
"Well...... I kind of understand what you said, it's called 'broken jar and broken'. But 'Zou Toad' can't beat us, what else can he do? I can get the out for him as soon as I can." Chen Liquan thought for a moment, and then asked a little unconvinced.
"Izumiko, you can't say that. You remember, the humble bed bug really can't be looked down upon. A rat poop is not small? It can spoil a pot of porridge. Now that our goal has been achieved, there is no need to force people to this point. Not to mention anything else, who would have thought that the 'Zou Toad' could hide things on the roof? This rushes this, and the old boy can bite off a bite of our meat when he is really anxious......"
Speaking of this, Hong Yanwu suddenly thought of his past, his mouth was filled with some bitterness, and his tone became a little heavy.
“…… In fact, I know best that people who have nothing left really dare to work hard, just like me, like I used to do. So I'm afraid, it's really urgent, and 'Zou Toad' will also let go, and he will find the public security and the workers' militia to denounce us, and maybe do something more extreme." But if there is still hope, he will also have a weakness, and he can only eat a dumb loss in his stomach. For example, if he 'lifts' us, his things can't be saved, and if he can't be investigated, his fault is even greater than ours. Besides, he is also afraid of our retaliation. People, as long as they are not crazy and have a way to go, they will always have to calculate the pros and cons......"
"You're smart, you make sense, you know how to think, you're much better than me......"
Chen Liquan nodded approvingly when he heard this, but after a while, he thought of something, and even showed a slightly bitter smile.
"Xiao Wu, then you say...... ...... like me Is it an 'empty bottle' now?"
These words suddenly made Hong Yanwu's nose sour, and when he thought that Chen Liquan had no father and no mother and had become a helpless person, he could quite understand Chen Liquan's thoughts.
"No! No! Of course you weren! I used to be, but I don't anymore! Yes, I have parents and relatives...... But aren't you, still me? Aren't we friends? Aren't we brothers? Our relationship is not as good as that of real relatives? You are really like brothers to me. ”
Hong Yanwu's enthusiastic confession made Chen Liquan stop talking, and after a while, he exhaled lightly.
"Xiao Wu, do you know, you have changed a lot when you come back, so I don't even know you. You know a lot of words, you write beautifully, and you know these old things and a lot of truths, and even your heart is soft...... If you put it aside, no matter what, you'll have to copy all of the 'Zou Toad'......"
Hong Yanwu couldn't help but be startled, his eyes rolled, and he quickly avoided the important and argued lightly.
"Don't think about it, I don't take those things because it's not easy to sell them, don't look at the value, but now no one wants to spend money on them, not because of some soft-heartedness......"
But Chen Liquan still stubbornly interrupted him as if he understood everything.
"Xiao Wu, I know you best, anyway, I know that you are different from before. But don't worry, don't worry. Why is this happening, you don't want to say, I won't ask you again in the future. I just wanted to tell you that you've gotten better than before, and I think it's my luck to have you as a friend, thank you!"
Who said that Chen Liquan was coarse and arrogant? Isn't this subtlety quite understandable?
Hong Yanwu looked at him with admiration, and he didn't know if he was weak-hearted, or if he couldn't bear to deceive him, anyway, his mouth was even more stubborn.
"Izumiko, you're really ...... How can I say yes?"
Chen Liquan smiled slightly and interrupted him again. "Then you don't say anything. However, since you said that you treat me as a brother, then I also want to tell you that there is one thing you are really doing wrong!"
Hong Yanwu was a little curious. "What's the matter?"
Chen Liquan didn't sell it anymore, and said quite seriously and solemnly.
"You went to 'Zou Toad' today and asked for this flat prescription, probably all for the purpose of treating Uncle Hong? Then why didn't you tell me first when you were short of money? My mother left me a fold of 500 yuan, you can use it." Also, we sold this watch for money......"
Who said that Chen Liquan didn't understand feelings, and was a wooden man who only knew how to practice, eat, and sleep? Then this person really had a pair of white eyes!
Looking at Chen Liquan's sincere and sincere face, the corners of Hong Yanwu's eyes were wet, and his throat was hot, as if he was choked on a sip of spirits.
In a kind of moving from the bottom of his heart, his skillful tongue and ability to spit lotus flowers seemed to have been forgotten, so that he became extremely stupid at this moment, and he couldn't even say a simple "thank you".
Is he Hong Yanwu smart?
No! no, it's not as good as Quanzi!(To be continued.) )
