Chapter 7: The Gopher in the Iron Box
Seeing that there was no one around, Fang You hurriedly ran out from the other direction, who knows if those two young people will come back to find a place again, next time you must pay attention, I came out with them behind my back this time, I didn't let them see their faces clearly, I'm afraid they won't be so lucky in the future.
After stopping a taxi on the side of the road and telling the driver the address on the courier, Fang You sat in the car and played with the iron box pulled out of the soil, which was about 20 centimeters long and wide, covered with rust, and even began to rot in some places, and it seemed that it was not short when it was buried in the ground.
The driver of the car took a few strange glances in the rearview mirror, then turned his attention to the front, wondering if this kid was a scammer who often sold family heirlooms as he often said on TV.
There was originally a small lock on the iron box, but the lock had become tattered, and the lock could not play any role, and when Fang You pulled it gently, the lock fell off, gently pinching the edge of the box, and Fang You slowly opened the box.
He was also looking forward to what would happen in this iron box that hit him, although he only had a shallow understanding of collecting, but he also knew that anything valuable to the older generation would be buried in the ground, especially in that turbulent decade.
When he opened the box, a musty smell came to his face, and he almost didn't let Fang You spit out yesterday's stewed noodles, pinching his nose and looking into the box with a bitter face, his expression was a little crying and laughing, there was something inside, but it was wrapped in a layer of oiled paper, and he couldn't tell what was inside.
Fang You was ruthless, and tore apart the oil paper by two, and a thing that seemed to be carved out of stone appeared in front of him, and after looking carefully, Fang You was a little disappointed, this was a mouse carved out of stone, nearly half smaller than the iron box, the stone was gray, and the skin of the mouse was very compatible, the eyes of the mouse seemed to be closed, and the overall look was so incongruous, as if something was missing, it looked like an inferior stone craft.
This broken thing is still wrapped in three layers inside and three layers outside, this guy is estimated to be a big fool, the driver nodded secretly, a little funny in his heart, this tattered appearance, who will be fooled by him.
Holding the gray mouse in his hand and looking at it, Fang You violently slammed the sofa next to him with his hand, damn, the first thing he dug out of the ground with the Escape Technique turned out to be a mouse, this is simply a huge irony, how can such a high-level existence as Earth Dun be comparable to a ground mouse.
Fang You opened the car window a little angrily, wanting to throw the garbage rat out, but he suddenly turned his head to look at the rusty iron box and the pile of oiled paper, and then wanted to retract his hand and put the rat into his backpack.
The owner of this courier is an old collector, let him see it first, since this mouse is buried deep in the ground, it shouldn't be so garbage as imagined.
"Hey, buddy, it's time to get there." The driver slowly stopped the car, turned around and said to the other party, with great doubts in his heart, why didn't this kid sell his heirloom to himself, and looking at his actions on the road just now, he still wanted to throw the strange-looking mouse out, could it be that this kid was crazy.
Fang You came back to his senses, smiled at the driver, and after paying the money, he took all the iron boxes and oil paper on the car out of the car.
The taxi driver didn't want to stay long, took the money, and disappeared in front of Fang You in an instant.
Looking at this familiar family home on the outskirts of the city, Fang You had some expectations in his heart, and in a no-man's land, he used the ground to put the iron box five or six meters underground, and then threw the oil paper into the garbage can on the side of the road, straightened his clothes, and walked into the family home.
This family courtyard has no floors, it is basically a courtyard with a single courtyard, it is usually very quiet, there is no laughter of children, there is just the snapping sound of a few old people playing chess, Fang You took out the express from his backpack, walked to the door of the address marked on the express, and knocked lightly on the door, "Is anyone there, Old Man Chu, I am the little party who sent the express." ”
knocked on the door a few times, but no one responded inside, Fang You looked into the courtyard from the crack in the door, it was empty, there was no sound in it, he was about to use the escape technique to see if there was anyone in the room, not far away, an old voice came, "Young man, you are looking for the old man surnamed Chu is not dead, he has returned to his hometown Wuyang." ”
Why is this old man Chu's hometown also in Wuyang, Fang You shook his head and smiled, "Old man, I am a courier, may I ask if Old Man Chu has any other relatives here." ”
"I don't know about this, by the way, don't there be phones on the courier, don't you ask Lao Chu to know." The old man shook his head, then turned back and continued the battle on the chessboard.
Forget it, Fang You looked at the courier with only the address and name, and left the family home with a wry smile, this trip was in vain, but if it weren't for this courier, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to touch the door of the escape, it seems that it won't work to expect to send this courier and exchange it for my ID card.
Since the fat pig Liu is not benevolent, don't blame the buddies for being unjust, take a day off today, and wait for the gray airflow to recover tomorrow, and escape to the fat pig Liu, I don't know, I take my ID card back unconsciously, and it is not impossible to punish him once or twice by the way, thinking of the highlights, Fang You's face showed a lewd smile.
Sitting in the taxi, Fang You looked at the little money left in his heart with some pain, although there were 500,000 yuan, he couldn't help but take a taxi like this, when would his earth escape technique be able to come and go freely, and how much could he save on the fare.
Back in the rental house, closed his eyes, and looked at the gray air flow that had only recovered a little bit in his body, Fang You lay on his back on the bed speechlessly, looking at the ceiling, since that car accident, maybe his fate has been completely changed, from an ordinary person who is penniless, to an immortal-like existence with a retreat technique.
With the Escape Technique, in this world full of dirt, he can wander to his heart's content, except for steel facilities such as bank vaults, I'm afraid no house can stop him, he can take whatever he wants, the 500,000 in his pocket is really nothing, but Fang You didn't want to do this, he didn't even think about his future plans.
This escape technique came too suddenly, so that he didn't have any room to react, the whole person was at a loss, take one step at a time, Fang You sighed, and sank into sleep, in the dream, he seemed to dream that he was holding a big popsicle for a dime in exchange for many, many villain books.
……………………
Early in the morning, Fang You stretched his waist refreshedly, closed his eyes and saw that the gray airflow had indeed returned to its original state, which made him full of confidence in getting his ID card back today, and habitually put on his backpack, he decided to go to the courier company on foot, and then find a no-man's land around and escape underground.
This is the first time since Fang You came to Liuzhou to walk the street so leisurely, he is no longer worried about traffic jams, and the lively scene of crowds makes his face smile.
