Chapter 3 The road is uneven
At this time, the window of the sports car fell, revealing a young man with oily hair and pink face, but he was in his 20s, a little chubby, with a black mole the size of a soybean on the corner of his mouth, and a few black hairs on it.
In the co-pilot, there was a girl of about the same age, holding a makeup mirror in one hand and foundation in the other, touching up powder on her face that was already very heavy makeup.
The young man glanced out, and then glared and shouted: "Old man, you don't have long eyes when you walk, Lao Tzu spent 500,000 yuan on the new car he just mentioned, if it is scratched, you want to look good!" ”
After yelling, he got out of the car with a curse, and when he passed by the old man, he kicked the fallen bicycle to the side, and crouched down to check the front of the car.
When the people around him saw his vicious attitude, although they whispered accusations, they were afraid of the attitude of the young man, but no one dared to come out to help the old man, only Zhao Zhuo strode over, squatted and whispered to care: "Old man, are you okay?" ”
This old man is in his sixties, dressed very plainly, kind and kind, there is a vegetable basket in the car, obviously he has just bought vegetables and returned, he shook his head, wanted to stand up, but his brows couldn't help frowning, and his hand subconsciously pressed on his waist.
"Is it a sprained waist?" Zhao Zhuo asked hurriedly.
"Sprained your back?" The pink-faced young man spat disdainfully, "You deserve it!" Who told you to walk without long eyes, you are dozens of years old, if it weren't for Lao Tzu driving carefully, you would have seen Hades a long time ago. ”
Seeing that the young man not only did not feel guilty for his actions, but repeatedly reprimanded the old man, Mo Ling couldn't help but be angry and said, "Big brother, this person is so bad, how can he be so shameless?" ”
Zhao Zhuo's eyebrows couldn't help but sink and said: "There are no traffic lights on this road, it's a curve, everyone is driving slowly, it's you who is driving too fast and hit the old man, you should apologize anyway and send the old man to the hospital!" ”
"Apologize?" The pink-faced young man crossed his hands on his hips, laughed, and looked at the two with disdain, "I said you, a group, right?" Don't act here, don't you just want to blackmail Lao Tzu for a few dollars? There's no need for this, there is a lot of money for Young Master Ben, you apologize to Young Master Ben now, Young Master Ben ......"
Seeing that the young man didn't feel guilty at all, and he looked smug, Zhao Zhuo couldn't help but feel a little angry, and suddenly stood up.
The pink-faced young man was also frightened by Zhao Zhuo's momentum, his face changed slightly, he took a step back, but he immediately jumped up and pointed at Zhao Zhuo and said, "Are you scared when you are Lao Tzu?" Why stand up all of a sudden? You apologize when you tell me to apologize? Do you know who Lao Tzu is? ”
Zhao Zhuo looked at him coldly, and said solemnly: "Who do I care about you?" If it's your fault, you should be held responsible! There are so many people watching what is happening here, don't you really know which is right and which is wrong? ”
Although no one could hear his words, Mo Ling also intervened his waist and repeated Zhao Zhuo's words angrily.
Originally, the arrogant behavior of the young man caused everyone to be dissatisfied, but because of his arrogant attitude, he didn't want to cause trouble, but now that he saw someone helping out, the surrounding pedestrians couldn't help but have some confidence in their voices, and at this moment, the girl in the sports car shouted: "Brother, I'm almost late for the show, don't talk to these poor ghosts, okay?" ”
Seeing that the people around him were accusing him, the pink-faced young man's face was also a little ugly, he suddenly ran away, got into the car, closed the window, stepped on the accelerator, and the sports car ran out with a "boom".
Zhao Zhuo didn't expect him to drive suddenly, and hurriedly helped the old man up, and the passers-by in front of him also dispersed, and several of them were almost hit by the car.
After driving more than ten meters, the sports car stopped again, and the pink-faced young man showed his head and sneered loudly and contemptuously at Zhao Zhuo: "Stinky boy, this young master is not as knowledgeable as you poor ghosts, if you want money, come and pick it up!" With that, he raised his hand, and a stack of bills flew out of his hand and scattered them on the ground around him.
It had just rained a little in the morning, and the ground was still a little wet, and as soon as the bills hit the ground, they were wet, and two of them fell into puddles.
Watching the sports car go away, Zhao Zhuo snorted secretly, when he encounters this kind of thing, it is really a Buddha who also makes a fire, and there is no license plate in the front and back of the sports car, I am afraid it is not easy to find this person, but the next time I encounter him, I must bring him to the old man to apologize.
At this time, the surrounding well-wishers also picked up the banknotes one by one, handed them over and said, "It's money after all, so let's keep it for the old man to go to the hospital for examination." ”
Zhao Zhuo thanked him, although the old man said that there was nothing wrong with his body, but Zhao Zhuo still insisted on sending him to the hospital for a check-up.
When I came to a nearby hospital, the old man took an X-ray and checked it, and his body was indeed fine, but his waist was twisted and needed to be recuperated for a few days.
Zhao Zhuo also breathed a sigh of relief, so he accompanied the old man to his house.
In the conversation on the road, Zhao Zhuo learned that the old man's name is Kong Xiangfeng, who used to be an employee of a state-owned enterprise, retired a few years ago, and he also has a son, in the provincial capital Guangshi, because he does not often go home, so he is the only one in the family.
However, the old man seemed very open-minded, and he didn't take what he had just done to heart, and he was happy along the way.
The old man's home is in a residential area in the north of the city, and the houses here are all small two- and three-story buildings with a large courtyard, and the people who live here are locals.
Open the iron gate, enter the yard, surrounded not only potted plants, but also planted with flowers and plants, grapevines wrapped around the bamboo frame, and there is a soil dog in the house.
Then, the earth dog suddenly shrank in fear, and as soon as he turned around, he got into the kennel, not daring to come out again.
Zhao Zhuo knew that this earth dog must have seen Mo Ling and was so frightened that he hid. Unlike humans, animals can see things that humans can't.
After leading Zhao Zhuo to the room and sitting down, Kong Xiangfeng laughed: "Usually except for a few friends who come to catch up, there are few outsiders here, Xiao Zhao, you sit down first." ”
Saying that, Kong Xiangfeng entered the back room, Zhao Zhuo sat on the sofa and looked left and right, the room was quite elegantly arranged, and there were some old New Year's paintings hanging on the wall, whether it was a table, a sofa or a coffee table, it was wooden, and it looked like it was also a little old.
Looking at it, Kong Xiangfeng had already walked out of the back room, holding a wooden box in his hand, handed it to Zhao Zhuo with a smile, and said: "Thank you Xiao Zhao for helping today, otherwise my old bones can be tossed, a little thing, I hope you will like it." ”
Zhao Zhuo hurriedly refused: "Uncle Kong, I just did what I should do, and this gift can't be accepted." ”
Kong Xiangfeng said with a smile: "It's just a small thing, and it's not worth much, you open it first and take it, accept it if you like it, and talk about it if you don't like it." ”
Zhao Zhuo couldn't excuse himself, so he opened the wooden box, only to see that there was something wrapped in a red cloth inside, about the size of a baby's fist, and the weight was still a little heavy when he picked it up.
Zhao Zhuo took the red cloth away, and suddenly saw that it was actually a jade monkey.
The color of the jade monkey is white and clean, and it is quite smooth to the touch, but Zhao Zhuo can see through it at a glance that this jade monkey is undoubtedly a fake.
Kong Xiangfeng smiled at this time: "Little brother, don't look at the small size of this jade monkey, but it is an authentic Qing Dynasty product, it has a history of hundreds of years from now, and I accidentally found it, and it only cost three hundred yuan, but if this thing is really sold, it can't be bought without a thousand pieces." ”
Zhao Zhuo didn't immediately say that this was a fake, after all, it was really inappropriate to say such things when people were thanking you, so he asked euphemistically: "Uncle Kong likes antiques?" ”
Kong Xiangfeng laughed and said: "I'm also retired and have nothing to do, just flip around, but these antiquities are really interesting, and the more you think about it, the more fun it is." ”
Zhao Zhuo asked, "Then where did Uncle Sun's jade monkey go?" ”
As soon as he asked this, Kong Xiangfeng spit out two words with a mysterious face: "Ghost market." ”
Zhao Zhuo understood that Kong Xiangfeng had not been involved in antiques for a long time, and his eyesight was probably not good, not to mention that he was shopping for goods in a ghost market that required more eyesight than the ordinary antique market.
Kong Xiangfeng seemed to hear that Zhao Zhuo was quite interested in antiques, so he smiled and said: "It seems that the little brother is also very interested in this antique, then I will let you open your eyes, you come with me!" ”
With that, he led Zhao Zhuo to the second floor, opened a locked iron door, and entered a small warehouse.
In the storeroom, there are two long tables on the left and right, and there are all kinds of jade carvings on the table, all of which are related to animals, with different colors and different shapes, in addition, there are two desks in it, which are also full of jade carvings, adding up to almost a hundred pieces.
Zhao Zhuo swept over one by one, his brows furrowed deeply, and finally he couldn't help but sigh, and said to Kong Xiangfeng who was smiling: "Uncle Kong, there is something I don't know whether to say or not." ”
"If you have something to say, you can say it directly, I am also a straight surname, and I can't hide my thoughts." Kong Xiangfeng smiled casually.
Zhao Zhuo chose two pieces on the table, took another one on the desk, and then said bluntly: "Except for these three, the other ancient jades are all fakes. ”
"What...... What the? Kong Xiangfeng's smile froze on his face, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a while.
Zhao Zhuo picked up the jade monkey just now and said: "Uncle Kong, you see, the carving of this jade carving is okay, but although the surface of this jade has slurry, it seems to be handed down from generation to generation, but when you look through the light, the color inside is chaotic, like a ball of paste, not jade, but imitation of jade-like stones." ”
After speaking, he picked up the jade pieces one by one and pointed out the loopholes in their fakes.
