Chapter 860: Shrike
Wei Shanan stared at the shrike in Wang Huaguang's hand and said, "This shrike looks really bad, it's so big, do you know how to raise it?"
Wang Huaguang said: "Just eat fresh meat and small insects, do you have raw meat here?"
"And a bit of raw beef. The old lady said.
Wang Huaguang said: "Go and get some here, as long as you can eat it, you won't die." ”
A moment later, the old lady came over with a little beef, and Wang Huaguang took it to feed the shrike chicks in his hand, but there was no reaction at all, and it looked like he was about to die.
"Look, I can't say it. Wei Shanan said.
Wang Huaguang said angrily: "Why do you always like to say frustrating things, besides, maybe it's not familiar with the environment, and it will eat when it's hungry." ”
As he spoke, he put the little strip of meat to the young bird's beak, but he still refused to eat it, and hung his head, and the situation seemed to be getting worse and worse.
Seeing this, Meng Zitao stretched out his hand to check whether there was any injury, but he didn't expect that when his hand was about to touch the young shrike bird, it actually "chirped" and grew its mouth to eat.
Everyone was amazed and surprised when they saw it.
Wang Huaguang was surprised, so he put the meat strip in his hand into the mouth of the shrike, but he didn't expect that as soon as he got closer, the young shrike closed its mouth and refused to eat it.
Wei Shanan laughed: "Haha, Lao Wang, you have done too much of a bad thing, and even the birds don't like you." ”
", you've done too much to worry about, you have the ability to feed it. ”
"I'll feed you, I'll feed you. ”
Wei Shanan felt that it was just that the young birds didn't like the taste of Wang Huaguang, but it turned out that he couldn't feed it, and it wasn't just him, except for Meng Zitao, everyone else at the scene tried it, but they couldn't feed it.
In the end, Meng Zitao was replaced, he took the meat strip and approached the young bird, and the young bird faced the sky, and the long beak "chirped" and called for food.
Meng Zitao fed it a few small strips of meat, which made it full, but then saw it pouting its ass and pooping, and then settled down.
"Made, hey, you don't eat, you so casually. Wang Huaguang scolded with a smile.
Everyone will smile.
Wang Huaguang continued: "Teacher Meng, it seems that this little shrike is related to you, do you want to raise it?"
Meng Zitao looked at the little bird in front of him whose feathers had not yet grown, and he liked it very much, and the shrike was also very easy to raise, so he agreed.
Wei Shanan asked his wife to bring a cardboard box, and put some things in it, and put the young shrike in it.
After temporarily placing the young birds, Wang Huaguang got down to business: "Teacher Meng, thank you again, if it weren't for you, the money I was cheated out of would definitely not have come back." This is a little bit of caution on my part, and I ask you to accept it. ”
As he spoke, he took out a snuffbox from his pocket and handed it to Meng Zitao.
Meng Zitao looked at it, this was a snuff box, and the material looked like it should be chalcedony.
Chalcedony is actually a type of quartz, the same mineral as the well-known agate. Aphictic quartz with a band-like structure is agate, and cryptocrystalline quartz without band-like structure and uniform color is chalcedony.
The body of this snuff bottle is carved with chalcedony with skin, the material is bright and understanding, translucent and clear, the shape of the vessel is regular and round, and the borehole is exquisite. The author skillfully uses the natural skin color of the material to skillfully carve a group of auspicious ornaments composed of monkeys, deer, bees and magpies, which means "adding officials to Lu". The color of the ornament is elegant and bright, and the agility is extraordinary. This pot is delicate and elegant, well-made, exquisitely carved, meaning auspicious, noble and elegant.
Meng Zitao guessed that this snuff bottle should be a high-ranking official in the Qing Dynasty, although the carving level is good, but the material is not outstanding, and the second is not to leave the name of the famous artist, the market value is not very high, probably a few thousand.
The value of the snuff bottle is not high, and the hospitality is difficult to refuse, so after Meng Zitao was polite, he accepted it.
In fact, Wang Huaguang was really a little worried that Meng Zitao felt that his thank you gift was not enough, and he was relieved to see Meng Zitao accept it, so he asked Meng Zitao for details.
Meng Zitao repeated what he said before, and Wang Huaguang was terrified when he heard it, you know, he had the idea of going to the door to find the iron sheet to get his money back, but fortunately he didn't go, otherwise it would be okay to be beaten, if the body became a hornet's nest, it would be too wrong.
While everyone was chatting, Wang Huaguang received a phone call, and after a while, he took the phone and asked Meng Zitao: "Teacher Meng, I have a friend who wants to come over and ask you a question, I don't know if it is convenient for you?"
Under normal circumstances, Meng Zitao always had the idea of being kind to others, smiled and said, "There is nothing inconvenient, let him come." ”
"Thank you. ”
After Wang Huaguang returned to his original position after making the call, Wei Shanan asked, "Who?"
Wang Huaguang replied: "Peng Yanming is the friend I said earlier who wants to purify money. He called me to ask about being deceived, and I told him that it was okay to ask Mr. Meng for help, and he told me that he had a question and wanted to ask Mr. Meng. ”
Wei Shanan asked again, "How does he know that you have been deceived?"
Wang Huaguang was a little angry: "It's not that old lady in my family, knowing that I was deceived, I felt that it had something to do with Peng Yanming, so I took it upon myself to go to Peng Yanming to find out." ”
After chatting for a while, Peng Yanming arrived, he was about forty years old, with a scholarly temperament, and his first impression felt good.
Wang Huaguang introduced everyone, and after greeting each other for a while, they talked about business.
Peng Yanming took out the things he brought, but it was a rather fine porcelain, a blue and white pen boat.
A pen boat is a study utensil used to hold brushes. It is made of wood, tooth and jade. Make more rectangular, the mouth edge is skimmed outward, the circle foot, the pen rest is set inside, after the brush is written, put it in the pen boat, and it will not pollute the desktop.
Peng Yanming introduced: "This pen boat was a month ago, I got it in Yangcheng, at first I thought it was good, and I kept using it as a treasure until last week, when I tasted it with a few friends, one of them thought it had some doubts." ”
"We are like this, I think it is good, the shortcomings are not visible, even if I see it, I don't think so, but once I find the problem, then I start to be suspicious, I am the same, since listening to that friend's opinion, I always feel that he is wrong, today is the opportunity, and I ask Mr. Meng to help solve the doubts. ”
Meng Zitao carefully looked at the things in his hand, the tire glaze looks like there is no problem, the bottom of the straight book "Ming Wanli Year" six-character regular paragraph, plus a double frame, this is no problem, the blue and white dragon and phoenix pattern drawn by the main grid is also in line with the characteristics of the Wanli period, but there is a problem with the blue and white hair color, and the problem is not small, it is a high imitation of green material.
Meng Zitao is energetic, many of the porcelain made of high-imitation green materials recently discovered are related to Yangcheng, and it is likely that there is a heavy figure in Yangcheng!
"Mr. Peng, I wonder if you can tell me more about where you bought this pen boat?"
Peng Yanming replied: "This is what I bought from a customer in Yangcheng, his name is Ziqing, and he is a child of the Yangcheng family, oh, I don't know if Mr. Meng has heard of the Yangcheng family." ”
"Suo and I are friends, and I have also had a relationship with Ziqing. ”
Meng Zitao smiled and felt that this matter was funny, because according to the clues obtained from the previous investigation, Ziqing was also among them, but because of his identity, and there was only one clue, so Ziqing was not placed in the scope of the key investigation, and now it seems that Ziqing is likely to be a breakthrough!
Peng Yanming said with a smile: "Teacher Meng has a wide range of friends, I didn't observe carefully because of Ziqing's identity, I didn't expect such a mistake, and the antique appraisal really can't be a little sloppy." Of course, it's better that my friend and I are wrong, otherwise the loss will be great. ”
Meng Zitao said with a little regret: "Mr. Peng, I can only say sorry, there is indeed a problem with this porcelain. ”
As he spoke, he pointed out the problem of green materials on porcelain.
Peng Yanming couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Thank you, Mr. Meng, it seems that you still can't be lucky." ”
Meng Zitao smiled and said that he was not welcome, to be honest, he also wanted to thank Peng Yanming for the important clues, but he didn't want to startle the snake, so he didn't say much.
After solving the problem, Peng Yanming offered to leave, and before leaving, he gave Meng Zitao a red envelope, and went back without waiting for Meng Zitao to refuse.
…………
After having dinner at Wei's house, Meng Zitao and the army returned to the hotel, but not long after they set off, the hospital called and said that the injured person who was looking for Lingwei was not in a normal mood and had serious suicidal tendencies, and wanted Meng Zitao to go over and have a look.
This person is very valuable in intelligence, and Meng Zitao can't let him die like this, so he hurriedly rushed to the hospital with the army.
When the two rushed to the ward, the doctor had given him a small amount of sedative, and the person was much quieter, but he could still see traces of struggle, and the wounds had collapsed and a lot of blood was shed.
Meng Zitao asked the doctor about the situation, and then came to the hospital bed and sat down: "As the saying goes, ants still steal life, do you want to die like this?"
The man just stared at the ceiling fixedly, motionless and silent, as if he had not heard what Mencius had said.
Meng Zitao didn't care about him, and then said: "As far as I know, most of your Lingwei action team are orphans without father and mother, and there are hostages of Lingwei, in the process of training, at least half of your people will be crippled and die, and if they are disabled, the result will be similar to death. ”
"In addition, in order to complete the task, it is normal for you people to fill in with your life, I don't know why you agree, is this the meaning of your existence in the world?
Meng Zitao said so much, but the man still didn't react at all.
Meng Zitao was not annoyed, and said: "Hehe, I know you can hear it, why don't you speak? Do you think that the toxins in your body will explode in a short time, and there is no point in saying it? What if I can solve the toxins in your body and let you have no worries?"
Meng Zitao's words finally made this person react, and his eyes brightened a little, but immediately, his gaze darkened again.
Meng Zitao chuckled: "Do you think I'm bragging? After a while, when the toxin doesn't attack, you will know that I don't have a cow, now, you can sleep well." ”
As he spoke, Meng Zitao pressed the person's slumber and waited for the acupoint, and immediately fell asleep. Subsequently, he took out acupuncture and other tools, ready to detoxify this person.
Since the poisoning has been for a long time, it is very difficult to expel the toxins from the body, and it took a lot of time for Meng Zitao to complete the first treatment, but everything is difficult at the beginning, and the subsequent treatment is easier than the first time.
After some explanation with the doctor, Meng Zitao and Dajun returned to the hotel to rest, and after breakfast the next day, Meng Zitao got in touch with Zhu Muwei's friend.
The other party asked Meng Zitao to meet him at the place he said before nine o'clock in the morning, and Meng Zitao responded.
When I took the car to the destination, it was actually an abandoned factory, and Meng Zitao felt that there was a bad taste, but he was a master of art and bold, and there was an army next to him, so of course he would not be afraid.
Walking into the factory, Meng Zitao saw seven or eight people standing in front of him, these people were so imposing that they didn't look like good people, and in the middle of him, there was a middle-aged man, who looked short and thin, with dark skin, and if he met outside, he thought he was a peasant from the countryside. It's just that this person's nickname "Impact Drill", known as Brother Drill, can give this nickname, which is definitely not as simple as it seems on the surface.
Brother Drill looked Meng Zitao up and down: "You are Meng Zitao?"
"May I ask what advice does Brother Drill have?" Meng Zitao arched his hand to the other party.
"I heard that the iron sheet was planted in your hands?" asked Brother Drill with a gloomy face.
Meng Zitao smiled and said, "It's almost, does Brother Drill want to avenge him?"
"What if it is?" asked Drill meaningfully.
"Then we'll see if Drill Brother is harder than this wall. While speaking, Meng Zitao walked to a wall next to him and punched him, only to hear a bang, and the thick wall was actually broken by Meng Zitao.
Seeing this situation, Brother Zuan and the others were stunned, if it wasn't for the place he chose, he would definitely think that Meng Zitao had done the tricks in advance, but he couldn't understand this abandoned factory anymore, even if it was because of the age, the wall was not so strong, and it couldn't be punched out of a hole by an ordinary person, let alone ordinary people, even some so-called masters couldn't do it.
Brother Drill immediately came back to his senses, although he was very jealous of what Meng Zitao had done, but there is a way that losers do not lose battles, and he is an old Jianghu, how can he show a frightened look, and said lightly: "This is the new century, no matter how strong the martial arts are, is it still stronger than the bullet?"
Meng Zitao sneered: "Then try it." ”
