Chapter 101: Hidden in the depths of the boudoir
Yi Yang and Sun Shangwu didn't know each other, and they felt like old friends at first sight.
After all, everyone is like-minded, although Yi Yang is mediocre and not a "martial arts person", he and Sun Shangwu are both antique dealers and have something in common.
In fact, Yi Yang was very yearning for martial arts, and when he witnessed Bai Wenchao and Sun Shangwu fighting fiercely just now, he was enthusiastic off the field, thinking that if he had half of their skills, he would not have to be afraid of the intimidation of ruffians and hooligans such as Lei Zi.
But "one minute on stage, ten years off the stage", if you want to learn kung fu, this is not an overnight thing, you have to study hard, accumulate over time, and he has to worship a master before learning.
In this regard, what Yi Yang wants to do most now is to worship Bai Wenchao's maternal grandfather as a teacher, but this is not something you can do if you want to, and it is unknown whether the other party will accept him or not.
"Brother Yi, Brother Bai, what are you doing in Chengde?"
After everyone introduced themselves, Sun Shangwu asked with a smile, his attitude changed greatly at this moment, and he did not have the slightest coldness.
Yi Yang replied truthfully: "We are here to appraise a batch of antiques for others. ”
"So, you must have good eyesight!" Sun Shangwu said, "It can be seen that you are all great experts!" ”
Yi Yang hurriedly shook his head and said, "The big experts don't dare to be it." In fact, it is not us who are here to help people identify, but it is a master who does the appraisal, the shopkeeper of our antique shop, he is the real connoisseur! ”
"Oh, really?" Sun Shangwu's eyes shone brightly, and he said yearningly, "Brother Yi, then I hope you can help introduce me, I want to know that master." To tell you the truth, I haven't been in this business for a long time, but I haven't learned anything! ”
Yi Yang shook his head and said, "Brother Sun, you are too modest, in fact, everyone is the same, they are all learning." ”
He is telling the truth, not to mention Bai Wenchao, as far as he is concerned, he is just an out-and-out novice, and he has only joined the antique shop for a month or two, which is definitely more "new" than Sun Shangwu.
However, he has a great advantage, which is beyond Bai Wenchao's reach.
"Brother Sun, you just said at the police station that the woman was a thief, what is her origin, is she really that amazing?" Bai Wenchao suddenly interjected and asked.
This question is exactly what Yi Yang wants to ask, they have a lot of doubts about the farce just now, especially the mysterious woman, if it is really like what Sun Shangwu said, then that woman really has a great background.
At this point, Yi Yang and Bai Wenchao both believed in Sun Shangwu, with the other party's character and knowledge, how could he be such a hooligan, but at the beginning, everyone didn't know the truth and misunderstood him.
"Well, what I said is true, she is indeed a thief!" Sun Shangwu said with a straight expression, "This thief is not ordinary, she is organized and has extraordinary skills." If it hadn't fallen into my hands, ordinary people wouldn't have been able to catch her, but nevertheless, you have seen it, and in the end, she escaped! ”
Bai Wenchao nodded and said: "Well, it was our negligence at the beginning, no one thought of this, and only afterwards did I remember that the woman's methods were not ordinary." ”
"That female thief is very flexible and cunning, if you run into it in the future, be careful!" Sun Shangwu reminded.
Bai Wenchao smiled casually and said, "I'm afraid she won't have a chance, and we won't be able to touch her!" ”
"Not necessarily!" Sun Shangwu said with a serious expression, "Since you have come to the Beijing area, then you must be careful of their gang of thieves, they specialize in stealing things, and the more valuable they are, the more they will patronize!" ”
Hearing this, Yi Yang and Bai Wenchao couldn't help but glance at each other, their nerves suddenly tensed up, and they became vigilant.
"Brother Sun, didn't you say that you had something stolen by her?" Yi Yang opened his mouth and said, "Since that's the case, then you should have called the police just now." ”
He talked about it, but he didn't ask about what the other party had lost, but since Sun Shangwu valued it so much, it was conceivable that it must be a very valuable thing.
Sun Shangwu shook his head and said with a wry smile: "If the police are useful, then I will report it early, it is useless to call the police, the police can't find your things, you must know that the people who stole things are not ordinary thieves, but 'thieves' door', their whereabouts are erratic, no one knows where their nest is, some people say in Beijing, some people say in Tianjin." ”
"'Thieves' Gate'?!" Yi Yang was shocked when he heard this, and asked, "Is there still such a sect in reality?" ”
"Yes, there is." Sun Shangwu nodded solemnly and replied, "Brother Yi, you are not listening to the story, but the facts, it's just that everyone hasn't had much contact with them and doesn't know it." There are three religions and nine streams in this world, and there are all kinds of schools, such as physiognomy masters, feng shui masters, and mages, and so on. We're just one of the genres of antiques. ”
"Oh, I see!" Yi Yang suddenly realized that his vision was too small, and he hadn't come into contact with those trades yet.
While chatting and tasting Meizi's delicious coffee, after drinking about it, Yi Yang said, "Brother Sun, I don't know if you are free now, why don't you go and have fun together?" You're probably familiar with the antique market here, but we're new to the city, and we don't know what to do. ”
Sun Shangwu nodded without hesitation, and Haosheng agreed: "It's no problem, I have time." I really know the situation in Chengde, but there are actually no good places to go here, just two relatively large antique cities, and a few small trading markets, but there are too few things in those places, there is nothing to buy, just don't go! Brother Yi, Brother Bai, let's go to the antique city just now, and then go to the 'Rehe Antique City' in the afternoon. ”
Yi Yang knew that Chengde was called "Rehe" in ancient times, and the "Rehe Antique City" that Sun Shangwu said should be in Chengde City, which was a place they hadn't considered going to before.
They left the café side by side, and then returned to the antique city in high spirits.
By the time they arrived at the antique city, the surroundings had already become calm, and the mysterious female thief was nowhere to be found.
Due to an emergency just now, Yi Yang and Bai Wenchao hadn't gone around much, but now they can have fun.
"Chengde Antique City has a lot of gold and silver, ceramics, copper and iron, antiques, etc. Rehe Antique City has many calligraphy paintings, seal carvings, landscape paintings, etc. It is said that on the stalls in the antique city here, there are many descendants of Inner Mongolia and Northeast Manchurian nobles who will bring family heirlooms to display and sell here. Brother Yi, Brother Bai, you have a good eye, maybe you can find something good. While walking forward slowly, Sun Shangwu introduced the relevant situation.
"Let it be." Yi Yang smiled, "Taobao also depends on fate, depending on your fate with treasures, the opportunity to find good things can be met but not sought." ”
"Brother Yi is very right!" Sun Shangwu agreed, "Taobao depends on luck, and luck is very important!" ”
They first went to the outdoor stalls, although Sun Shangwu said that they were good, but the actual situation was not as good as they imagined, Yi Yang found that most of the antiques sold on the stall were fakes, because there was no aura on them, even if there was aura, it was extremely weak, if you didn't sense it carefully, it wouldn't be found.
After shopping, Yi Yang didn't gain anything, he didn't fancy anything, while Sun Shangwu and Bai Wenchao bought an antique respectively, which were small pieces of exquisite porcelain, the price was not high, and there was not much collection value, it could only be said to be an ordinary elegant play.
Later, they wandered around the antique shops, but the situation was similar, most of the boutiques sold handicrafts, not even antiques, and the only antiques were just generalities, which did not arouse people's interest at all.
After walking around, Yi Yang found nothing, and he was a little disappointed in his heart, but this did not disappoint his interest.
"Brother Sun, let's eat first, it's not early, it's time for lunch." After walking out of the last antique shop, Yi Yang greeted warmly.
"Well, let's go eat." Sun Shangwu hurriedly nodded and agreed, "But I have to treat you, you have come from afar, I have to do the friendship of the landlord." ”
Yi Yang said: "We invited you to be a guest, we misunderstood you just now, and we have to apologize to you." ”
With that, the three of them rushed to a nearby hotel, and it didn't take long for them to call for good wine and food, and the three young men drank heartily with each other.
After being full of wine and food, Sun Shangwu took Yi Yang and Bai Wenchao and drove to the "Rehe Antique City".
The car they drove was a very bloated and old jeep, I didn't expect Sun Shangwu's car to be so individual, but it matched him very well.
Rehe "Antique City" is located in the East Street National Palace, not far from the summer resort, Sun Shangwu drove to the destination with Yi Yang and Bai Wenchao.
After coming to the Palace of Nationalities, Sun Shangwu parked the car in an empty parking lot, and then led Yi Yang and them directly to the antique city on the first floor of the Palace of Nationalities.
This is a bazaar, and there are quite a lot of items and tourists, and Yi Yang and they began to wander casually with the crowded crowd.
After all, it is a small local antique market, the collection is very limited, and the flow of customers is so large, if there are good things, I am afraid that they will be picked up by the discerning people, how can it be left to Yiyang them, but if they come, they will be safe, and everyone is here, so take a good look at it.
As Yi Yang expected, he didn't find any surprises all the way down.
"Brother Yi, Brother Bai, let's go visit the stone carving shop." Sun Shangwu suddenly pointed to a shop in front of him on the right and said, "I want to buy a seal material for Shoushan stone and take it back to carve it myself." ”
"Brother Sun, it turns out that you can also carve jade?" Yi Yang was surprised.
Sun Shangwu shook his head and said: "I'm not very good, it's just a small interest, hehe, just carve and play." ”
Saying that, the three of them walked into the stone carving shop in a hurry, and as soon as they walked in, Yi Yang's eyes suddenly lit up.
The shelves and the floor are filled with all kinds of stone carvings, some of which are obviously old antiques.
What surprised Yi Yang was the reaction of his right eye, it turned out that he not only sensed a strong aura, but also the coldness of his right eye invaded, and the golden silk was "ready to move" again.
At that moment, he unconsciously sensed the aura, and slowly walked in the direction where the aura came from.
Soon he noticed that what exuded a strong aura was a relatively large stone carving, which was antique but looked incomplete, and was inconspicuous at first glance due to the accumulation of dust on the surface.
But such a gray stone surprised Yi Yang, as if he had found some big treasure, and said secretly: "It's really hidden in the depths of the boudoir, it seems that only I can find such a good thing!" ”
