Chapter Seventy-Three: Wei Lao's Profession

"Old Chu, I'm Xiaoyou, you're in good health." After receiving the phone, Fang You smiled and said softly to Chu Lao.

On the other end of the phone, Chu Lao was a little helpless, "Xiaoyou, I haven't seen you for two days, I just look forward to my illness, without you bothering me every day, I live very comfortably, sitting in the yard every day and drinking some wine, happy like a fairy." ”

Hearing Old Chu's pretended angry words, Fang You smiled weirdly, "Old Chu, it seems that your old man's Huadiao wine is almost finished." ”

"Okay, you little swimmer, dare to threaten the old man, you go out for a few days, your wings are stiff, right, I won't beat your ass when you come back." Fang You's threatening words made Chu Lao couldn't help but laugh, it seemed that no one had dared to talk to him like this for a long time.

Fang You smiled happily, "Old Chu, you are for Huadiao Wine, I am for the ass, even if the two of us are tied, okay." ”

"That's a good relationship, no one loses, hehe, I heard Old Man Li say that you teased Tianbaoxuan's Liu Fat Man and almost cried." Chu Lao smiled, and then asked Fang You.

Wei Lao slowly opened the box, but he didn't expect that there was a layer of foam box inside, which made him eager to break the box with one punch to see what was inside, hearing that Fang You and Chu Lao were talking very happily, and even joked with each other, he looked up at Fang You with some surprise, and then put his eyes on the foam box, how could this Fang boy look like an ordinary person, how could he be loved by the old guy of Old Man Chu.

"Old Chu, Fat Liu bullied Wang Hao as a layman, I really can't stand it." Speaking of this stubble, Fang You said helplessly, Liu Fatzi is about to push Wang Hao to a dead end, can he bear it.

Chu Lao smiled, "Fat Liu is indeed a little excessive, you did the right thing about Xiao You, you are very happy, see if this guy Liu Fat Man will be so cheap, by the way, how is Old Man Wei, haven't you seen the treasure search rat yet." Old Chu asked with some doubts, the treasure search mouse is such a magical thing, this old man Wei will not react when he sees it.

Fang You raised his head, and was about to see Wei Lao's current situation, when he suddenly heard an exclamation, Wei Lao took out the treasure search mouse, but he seemed to be startled and threw the treasure search mouse into the air.

Looking at the treasure search rat that was constantly rolling in the air, Fang You hurriedly put down the phone and rushed towards the treasure search mouse.

Wei Lao sat on the chair, dazed for a while, and then followed behind Fang You, rushing towards the treasure search mouse, before opening the foam box, Wei Lao didn't have much hope in his heart, he had seen countless types of treasure search rats, pure stone, jade, jade, copper, gold, all kinds, he really didn't believe that any rat would shock him.

When he opened the foam box and saw the gray stone skin of the treasure search mouse, his slightly expectant heart suddenly seemed to fall into an ice cellar, such a stone can also be carved into a treasure search mouse, and a kind of anger rose in his heart, the treasure search mouse is such a magical animal, carved with such a garbage stone, which simply defiles the sacred treasure search mouse in his heart.

He even had some doubts that just such a stone-breaking rat could be worth millions, but the old man Chu has always been very picky, if this mouse is just average, he will never call him in the crowd, and said that it was bought by someone else when it was late, could it be that this mouse has other surprises.

In an uproar, Wei Lao tore open the foam box and took out the treasure search mouse inside, while tearing it open, he saw the dense strange patterns on the mouse, he was shocked, and then couldn't wait to take the treasure search mouse out, facing the two green eyes of the mouse, without any psychological preparation, he was taken aback, and subconsciously threw the treasure search mouse.

Fang You's eyes were quick, and he caught the treasure search mouse in his hand before he landed, even if he didn't catch the treasure search mouse completely, even if it only touched a little, Fang You was sure not to let it fall to the ground.

Of course, this is only in the case that no one can see, and he doesn't want to reveal his biggest secret for the sake of a treasure hunt mouse, so that he is afraid that he will really become a mouse, a guinea pig studied by scientific institutions.

Although the treasure search mouse is made of jadeite with the hardest jade, it is very brittle, so hard to fall to the ground, I am afraid it is not much better, not to mention the others, just say that the four slightly exposed claws and that tail, I am afraid that it will not be able to keep, then this treasure search mouse is completely finished.

Although the treasure search mouse has become someone else's thing now, Fang You can't watch it fall to the ground, no matter what, this treasure search mouse is the first treasure he gets.

Fang You handed the treasure search mouse to Wei Lao, and then said with a smile: "Wei Lao, this mouse is not real, don't throw it away again." ”

Wei Lao looked very excited, his hand was still trembling when he took the treasure search mouse, he nodded at Fang You, hurriedly ran back to the chair and sat down, and put the treasure search mouse on the table, facing himself.

At this moment, he seemed to see this treasure search mouse running towards him, his eyes flashing with light, shining green, as if staring at him.

"This is the real treasure search mouse, this is the real treasure search mouse...... "Holding the treasure search mouse, Wei Lao hugged it tightly in his arms excitedly, and kissed the mouse from time to time.

This kind of behavior made Fang You and Wang Hao, who were on the side, a little dumbfounded, "Xiaoyou, Xiaoyou, did you hear that?" ”

"Hey, Old Chu, I heard it." Fang You remembered that he was still on the phone with Chu Lao, and hurriedly picked up the phone and said to Chu Lao.

Hearing Fang You's words, Old Chu breathed a sigh of relief, and asked a little anxiously, "What happened just now, after I heard an exclamation, it became chaotic inside." ”

"Old Chu, don't worry, it was Wei Lao who saw the treasure search mouse and thought it was a real mouse, so he was so frightened that he threw the treasure search mouse, but fortunately, I moved quickly and caught it." Fang You smiled, at first glance, this treasure search mouse was like a real mouse, otherwise Chu Lao would not have been startled by the treasure search mouse when he got up at night.

Sitting on the Taishi chair, drinking a little wine, Chu Lao gloated a little, "Haha, Wei Lao was also scared of the immortal, and he was so frightened that he threw away the treasure search mouse, he was too timid, what about him now, is he too scared to look at the treasure search mouse." ”

"No, Old Chu, on the contrary, he is kissing with the treasure hunting mouse right now." After glancing at it, Fang You said with a wry smile.

Before Old Chu could answer, Old Man Wei snatched the phone from Fang You's hand and roared loudly: "Old man Chu, you old fellow, why didn't you tell me earlier that this treasure search mouse would be so magical, even if I put down my work of dealing with dead people first, I would have to see this mouse earlier." ”

Chu Lao seemed to have been prepared, as soon as he heard Wei Lao's roar, he calmly put the mobile phone on the table, ignoring the world, until Wei Lao finished venting, he picked up the mobile phone, and said with a smile: "Is it finished, I said that this treasure search mouse is unusual, you old guy just don't believe it, and he was so scared that he threw the mouse, if I was at the scene, I must see if your old guy pees his pants." ”

Several guests in the teahouse were attracted by Wei Lao's exclamation, and when they saw the treasure hunt mouse on the table, the people who were a little disdainful of Wei Lao's shouting behavior just now suddenly widened their eyes, if it weren't for the conversation between Fang You and Wei Lao, they really wanted to think that this mouse was real, vivid, like a very cute mouse winking at you.

"Old man Chu, you didn't lie to me this time, you can be regarded as a good treasure for me, compared with the dozens of mice in my hand, this mouse is the king among them, but unfortunately I don't know what kind of character made it." Wei Lao surprisingly didn't talk back to Chu Lao, but looked at the treasure hunt mouse in his hand, and sighed a little, his mood has not calmed down yet.

The treasure search mouse originally knew very little, but the number of its carvers, this ancient strange beast has gradually been forgotten by people over time, Wei Lao has not received a treasure search mouse for several years, today, seeing this treasure search mouse, he feels a little in vain.

Hanging up the phone, Wei Lao picked up the treasure search mouse again, his eyes were a little fascinated to watch, he finally discovered the mystery inside, pointed at the treasure search mouse and was shocked again, "This is a whole piece of jade carving." ”

And looking inside from the eyes, the jade shimmered with green light, like a piece of grass flying in the wind. Wei Lao's eyes widened, and he finally laughed like crazy, "Fang Xiaoyou, I was really wrong just now, this treasure really scared my big teeth, it's worth the trip, and it's not in vain that I squeezed out an hour to receive this treasure." ”

Wei Lao's words made Fang You a little curious, hesitated for a moment, and then asked: "Wei Lao, dare to ask what you do for your old man, I heard that I was so busy that I had to fly every day, Chu Lao told me, you often wander around the barren mountains and mountains, and just now I heard you say in the conversation with Chu Lao, you deal with dead people, this should not be true." ”

Fang You's heart trembled a little, what else could there be in the work of dealing with dead people except those scary, no wonder this old man had a strange smell on his body, and he was very familiar, this should be the smell of soil, this old man should not have just crawled out of the grave, Fang You thought very painfully.

"Yes, Wei Lao, I heard that the crematorium is very profitable, isn't it that you always work there." Wang Hao was afraid of falling behind, so he followed behind Fang You and said with a smile.

Wei Lao took out a free hand and gently patted Wang Hao's head, "Don't respect the elderly, you should fight, some crematoriums are indeed very profitable, but most of the crematoriums are just barely maintained, alas, with the crematorium, after a thousand years, our descendants may not have the opportunity to explore the culture of our era." ”

"Old Wei, the purpose of the crematorium's existence is to save land, why are you so pessimistic." Fang You was slightly puzzled, and asked Wei Lao with a puzzled face, he seemed to feel that he had guessed Wei Lao's profession.

Shaking his head, Wei Lao smiled, "Right and wrong are only evaluated by future generations, you know my profession and know my current mood, my major is archaeology, the old man Genchu said, I have spent most of my life in the barren mountains and mountains accompanying the lonely ghosts in the tomb." ”

Wang Hao shrunk his neck, "Old Man Wei, don't be so scary, it's not your business, digging graves is not your business, there are many people, and it's good to have ghosts, I used to dream of having a beautiful female ghost with me." ”

Fang You smiled, no wonder he smelled the smell of soil, it turned out that this old man Wei really crawled out of the grave.

"Hehe, it seems that Wang Xiaoyou is very interested in this business, do you want to go to the grave with me to play, some tombs are like a big maze, you can dig hide and seek in it." Seeing that Wang Hao still did not repent, Wei Lao smiled strangely, and then said gloomily, while reaching out to grab Wang Hao.

Wang Hao ran to the side violently, his face pale, "Old Wei, I said to play just now, don't be angry." ”

Wei Lao smiled and waved his hand at Wang Hao, but Wang Hao still didn't dare to come over, so he sat down on the table next to them, for fear that Wei Lao would catch him again and go to the grave to play.

"Old Wei, digging graves and disturbing the peace of the dead is morally and rationally difficult for people to let go, isn't it opposed by the world." After reading a few tomb robbery novels, Fang You has always been very puzzled by this.

Wei Lao smiled, all along, there have been many people who have a hostile attitude towards archaeology, this is definitely not Fang You's idea alone, "Fang Xiaoyou, generally we don't take the initiative to dig tombs, and even some known tombs, we don't have the slightest action to excavate, our main job is to protect the tombs that have been excavated, while protecting the cultural relics in the tombs, while exploring the identity of the tomb owner." ”

"Excavated tombs, Wei Lao, do you mean stolen tombs?" Being a little older by Wei, Fang You instantly understood everything.

Picking up the teacup and taking a sip of tea gently, Wei Lao nodded, "The purpose of the tomb robbers is only to take the valuable things in the tomb, so they don't care about the integrity of the tomb at all, their unreasonable excavation will let a lot of oxygen enter the tomb, causing some precious cultural relics to oxidize and cease to exist, so we will carry out rescue archaeological work, clean up the valuable cultural relics inside, and then carry out research work." ”

"I understand, thank you Wei Lao, it seems that I have always misunderstood the archaeological work." Fang You suddenly smiled, there are a few tomb robbers who will treat everything in the tomb calmly, and even some of the corpses of the tomb owners are littered everywhere by them, he has always thought that archaeology is similar to tomb robbery, now it seems that one is for money, the other is for protection and research on the social culture of the time, one of the two is for the public, who is right and who is wrong, you will know at the moment.

Seeing that Fang You had been listening to himself carefully, Wei Lao smiled and nodded, "Fang Xiaoyou, if you are interested, I can spare a little time to teach you some knowledge in this area, tomb culture has been prevalent since the Stone Age, there are countless underground tombs, and due to our limited archaeological strength, we may not be able to dig it for hundreds of years." ”

Fang You shook his head slightly, although antiques are very involved in archaeology, they belong to two different disciplines, I am afraid that I will not have anything to do with tombs in my life.

Suddenly, as if thinking of something, Fang You shook his head and stopped, his mouth grinned, revealing a wry smile, it seems that he will have something to do with the tombs, most of the ancient tombs are buried in the soil, although some are buried in the mountains, but they are also similar to the soil, and the rats in this place are hiding in the ground with their heads covered, and even the wine cellar can be drilled into, not to mention that this is a tomb with more than the number of wine cellars.

Wei Lao said that the tomb has started since the Stone Age, so up to now, it has been thousands of years, and the underground is probably already dense, full of tombs, and he has been away for so long, although he has not encountered one, but it is estimated that his time underground in this life will not be shorter than the time on the ground, and it is absolutely inevitable to encounter tombs.

"Fang Xiaoyou is not interested, forget it, hehe, you can't put your good youth in the dark tomb, I sometimes regret that I chose this line, oops, no, it's been more than an hour, I can't stay any longer, there are still things waiting for me to do, Fang Xiaoyou, Wang Xiaoyou, let's say goodbye, and sit together when we have time."

Suddenly, while talking and laughing, Wei Lao looked at the time, his face changed, and he quickly put the treasure hunting mouse into a pocket and put it in his arms, then said hello to Fang You and the others, and hurriedly rushed out of the teahouse.
