Sometimes, life is so wonderful, and when I was desperate, a noble person appeared.

He is Mr. Huang Zhongsheng, an authority on the collection of strange stones on Treasure Island!

I met at an exchange of strange stones.

He didn't understand my behavior of collecting the four strange stones: "Why do you want to go far and near, don't you know that there are treasures hidden in the river in your hometown?"

"What baby? I've never heard of it. ”

I was at a loss.

"I'll give you a book, this is what I made, you can just look at it, you can't play strange stones blindly!"

Mr. Huang handed over the book after speaking.

"Chinese Ornamental Stone Grand View", just looking at the title of the book is a treasure, I was ecstatic.

To be honest, the history of playing stones on Treasure Island is relatively early, and a group of senior players have emerged, and many people have crossed the strait to find a lot of treasures and accumulate strange things.

Mr. Huang is one of them.

I took the book, thanked it so much, and went home voracious to read it.

After reading this book, it is like an initiation, it turns out that the Jiulong River basin really contains countless treasures, especially Jiulongbi (of course, at that time, it was called tea baking stone, and Jiulongbi was born later).

After I studied it carefully, I set my sights on Jiulongbi in Ha County, Beixi, Jiulong River, but how to convince my wife?

One day, I said to my wife, "Wife, I'm going to get rich!"

"What kind of nerves, your family has been ruined by you, and you are embarrassed to say this!"

"Really, you see, it's a treasure map. ”

I showed her the "Grand View of Chinese Ornamental Stones".

"Don't lie to me. ”

The wife was skeptical.

I pointed out the chapter of Jiulongbi to her: "Look at it, this treasure is in the Jiulong River, you can pick it up without spending a penny, the most important thing is ......"

I deliberately lengthened my voice.

"If you have something to say, let go of a fart! I'm so disappointed in you, I tell you every day that you will make a fortune playing with stones, but I can't even get back a single piece of silver, if my mother hadn't given me some pocket money, I wouldn't have been able to live this day. ”

"Don't be angry, wife, this time it's guaranteed to be issued, the key is that others don't know that there is this baby. ”

I replied softly, to be honest, I was blamed by my wife every day, and I didn't feel good in my heart, who called myself incompetent, and now I can only beg her in a low voice.

"Tell me, then, what do you want?"

The wife also knows that her husband is obsessed with stones, and the nine cows can't be pulled back, so let's be a dead horse and a live horse doctor to see if he can toss a fart.

"I want to take a look at it now that no one has found out, and the house will be handed over to you. ”

"If you promise me that you will never spend any more money on stones, I will let you go. ”

"Okay, good, I promise, who will pay for the stones that can be picked up?"

Finally got my wife done, I don't want to mention how happy I am, and the next thing I plan to do is what to do.

I first went to Hua'an Beixi to explore the way, the whole river here is Jiulongbi, and no one has picked it up, which is amazing!

After returning home, I first collected the four famous stones collected this year, processed them cheaply, packaged them and sold them to rich stone friends, I hid most of the money and left a little for my wife to live.

At that time, to Hua'an, the road is difficult to walk, it is a sandy road, and there is no car, so you can only take the No. 3 bus from Zhangzhou to Hua'an, you have to go around the mountain to Shangping, Gao'an to Hua'an, take a trip for almost four hours, very inconvenient, if you go back and forth every day, do not toss yourself enough.

Living people will never be suffocated by urine, there is only one way to think about it: live in Hua'an, and hand over the family to your wife, and let it out!

So I went to the old army and bought dozens of military quilts, and then put one in each village, put it in the people's homes, gave some money, ate and lived with the peasants, and traveled through countless unknown mountains and rivers.

This piece of mountains and rivers rich in Nine Dragons is full of Nine Dragons and Stones, I can find it with my eyes closed, just like my body, and the place where there are Nine Dragons is my home.

I just buried my head in picking up stones, as large as dozens of tons, as small as a few centimeters, as long as I look at it, it will not slip out of my fingers.

The local people in Hua'an saw that I didn't do anything serious, but only knew how to go to the river to pick up stones, so they turned their heads and pointed at me one after another, saying that this person was crazy.

I laugh when I see people, don't say anything, today you see my jokes, tomorrow you can't climb high, foresight, always the only way to succeed, let the ridicule come more violent!

At that time, playing with stones, unlike now, there are all kinds of materials, I purely rely on practical experience, and I explore while playing.

Time flies so fast, another year has passed, and there are a lot of stones to pick up home, when I first picked up, I can pick up any treasure, but the whole river has been swept again, and good stones are getting harder and harder to find, what should I do?

I definitely can't do it on my own, I must mobilize the masses and let them help me pick it up, anyway, they don't understand, just give some silver, the locals are already poor, I heard that picking up stones can make money, which one is not happy?

I gathered them together and taught them how to pick up stones, and I took all the good ones.

So, the river was full of local farmers, everyone was having fun while picking up, and secretly pointed at me: "This fool is really hopeless, he actually spends money to buy stones, let's fulfill him, don't regret it." ”

In front of me, they approached me and called me "the head of the stone village", as if they regarded me as their own family, and the stones could be sold for a good price.

"Stone Village Chief"!

I love to hear this, anyway, I have lived in places where there are stones, let them call, I don't care, I only have stones in my eyes, as long as there are good stones for me, you can call me "dog".

In this way, in the local area, because of me, the business of "stone farmer" emerged.

Actually, I spent money to buy stones, I did it secretly, don't let my wife know about this, otherwise I won't be able to eat and walk around!

The stones in my house slowly piled up, and more and more stones were taken home later, which attracted the attention of my wife: "How can you pick up so many by yourself, tell me honestly, did you spend money to buy stones?"

It seems that the paper can't contain the fire, so I have to answer honestly, just say the heavy to the light, and only say that it cost a little money, otherwise, answer truthfully, like my wife, don't pick me up and throw it into the Jiulong River.

When my wife heard this, she pointed at me and was furious: "You man who doesn't keep his promises, I don't care about the family, do you see if this is still a home? There is no money in the family, you can do it, give the money to others, do you want this home, when your relatives and friends come, I will boil the stone for them to eat, see what you do." ”

After scolding, the crying and screaming also woke me up.

"Wife, don't cry, I'm not going, okay? I'll find a way to sell the stones at home now, and use the money I earn at home, okay?"

I buried my head low, I could only pretend to be a grandson, as long as my wife let me continue to play with stones, the rest didn't matter.

The wife burst into tears and laughed: "It's about the same, you can exchange stones for money, you have the ability." ”

In fact, I was also forced to deal with her, this Jiulongbi in the eyes of stone friends in the country, I have never heard of it, and the early stone circle was very small, to let others know and recognize, there is only one way: to increase popularity.

In the next few years, I would go to all parts of the country to participate in exhibitions every year, and every time I went, I brought Kowloon Bi and won many awards.

I did the math, participated in various strange stone exhibitions, and won more than 50 awards, and the reputation of Jiulongbi slowly came out.

To tell the truth, although I have won a lot of awards, I have a lot of money to participate in the stone exhibition, so I often have empty pockets, let alone make money, and often I can't even afford the travel expenses, so I still borrow from my peers.

When my wife saw me like this, her saliva was dry, and in the end, she was angry, so she simply went back to her parents' house with her children.

I'm like this, I can't leave the stone for a moment, I don't touch the stone for a day as if I lost my soul, and my wife is better and clean when she goes back to her parents' house!

I still continue to participate in the stone exhibition, I must make the reputation of Jiulongbi, for the stone, I also fight, I owe the debt to the family, pay it back later.

I especially like the Kowloon Bi called "Guan Gong Statue", and I have to bring it with me every time I exhibit at the exhibition, and it took me a lot of time to get this treasure.

After getting it, I slept with it for three days, for fear that the original treasure holder would regret it, and it did not disappoint me, and won the gold medal of the 4th China Tibetan Stone Celebrity Exhibition.

In 1990, the ZZ Municipal Government selected five pieces of Kowloon Bi to be exhibited at the BJ 11th Asian Games Art Festival, which caused a sensation.

Jiulongbi has been rated as China's national stone candidate stone, China's four famous jade, ZZ city stone and other honorary titles.

As a result, people all of a sudden set their eyes on Jiulongbi, and stone friends from all over the world flocked to the Jiulong River Beixi to hunt for treasures.

One day, a bearded German businessman in the stone business came to me, with a translator next to him, and I wondered, I don't do the stone business, he is looking for the wrong person.

The man was silent, he crouched down and touched the name I had placed in the hall, and then he looked at a stone that looked like a lion, and muttered a few words to the interpreter, who shouted at me, "Mr. Smith asked you how to sell this stone?"

Oh, he's here to buy stones, and the first time I saw a foreigner want to buy a stone, I didn't know how to make a good bid!

Mr. Smith saw that I hesitated, thought I didn't want to sell, and made a few gestures with the translator.

"Mr. Smith asked you, can you sell it for $10,000?"

The translator raised his voice for fear that I wouldn't hear clearly.

What? 10,000 dollars? That's all!

I heard me right, I looked at the translator suspiciously: "10,000 dollars?"

"What, you're too little?" the translator asked, puzzled.

"No, that's right!

I kept repeating, my hands trembled with excitement, this ten thousand dollars, in the early nineties, was too much, the point was that I sold stones for the first time, and I made so much money at once, I couldn't believe it was true.

When the foreigners left, my first call was to my wife: "Wife, we have made a fortune, come back quickly!"

At this time, it has been nearly two years since my wife left home!

How can I not be excited, how much I have suffered in the past few years, how many sins I have suffered, the eyes of others are not right, and the most important thing is that even my wife does not understand and leaves me.

"You dead ghost, if you don't come to pick me up, I won't go back!"

The wife's voice softened significantly.
