Chapter 9: Blackmail (1)
When Xiao Er came back from looking for a car, Ji Kejuan had already cut the umbilical cord, the pregnant woman had fallen asleep after nearly an hour of tossing, and the middle-aged woman was holding her newborn child with a smile on her lips.
Hua Wenhao had already learned from Ji Kejuan that the family's surname was Dong, the young man's name was Dong Yuan, the young man's name was Xiao Er, and the middle-aged woman's name was Li Xiumei. Ji Kejuan walked out of the door at this time, and her eyes had changed when she looked at Hua Wenhao.
She has been a village doctor for 20 years, and she has seen some famous doctors, but it is the first time she has seen someone like Hua Wenhao save people and treat diseases. At first, I thought that Hua Wenhao just happened to get a few stitches, and the pregnant woman gave birth, but after thinking about it for a while, I always felt that it was wrong. She studied Western medicine and has some understanding of Chinese medicine, although acupuncture in Chinese medicine can also relieve people's pain, she has never seen such a means of saving people.
She didn't know what Hua Wenhao was looking for her brother to do, but she was curious about Hua Wenhao's rescue methods. The Dong family even regarded Hua Wenhao as a life-saving benefactor, Li Xiumei was very grateful, this delay was already a little more, Hua Wenhao was anxious to see Ji Keli, the Dong family had just hugged their grandson, and the family was busy.
Hua Wenhao estimated that Ji Keli should also come back at this time, and seeing that the Dong family was busy, he greeted Ji Kejuan and wanted to go to Ji Keli's house. When the two arrived at the door of Ji Keli's house, they saw that the donkey cart had stopped in the yard.
Ji Kejuan shouted: "Keli, you're back, someone is looking for you!" When Hua Wenhao looked up, Ji Keli was walking out of the house with a cigarette in his mouth, his gray half-sleeved shirt was folded, his trouser legs were pulled up to his knees, revealing his thin little feet, his eyes and eyebrows were squeezed together, with a cunning look, it was the "uncle" who was stolen by Xiao Huang Mao on the bus. said that he was an "uncle" but called Ji Keli old, he was only nearly fifty, but his hair was gray early, and his skin was wrinkled, he looked like a little old man, he and Ji Kejuan stood together, but he looked like an elder brother.
Ji Keli saw Hua Wenhao is a flurry. "Young man, are you looking for me?" Ji Keli looked suspicious, obviously not recognizing Hua Wenhao. "Uncle, a few days ago, you went to Tiannan and someone stole something in the car, I was the one chasing the thief" "Oops! Young man, I didn't let you chase it, your injury has nothing to do with me, and my books have also been destroyed, that is priceless, who am I looking for, your medical expenses" Ji Keli showed a flustered look, his eyes rolled, and the eyebrows that were already crowded together were even more in one place, while retreating, waving his hand, explaining continuously, and shirking responsibility, Hua Wenhao was a little crying and laughing, daring Ji Keli to think that he was blackmailing him.
"Uncle, you misunderstood, I'm not here to ask you for medical expenses, I just want to ask where you got those books from, and if there are any other books?" Seeing that Hua Wenhao didn't come to settle accounts with him, Ji Keli's mind turned and he understood Hua Wenhao's purpose, Ji Keli couldn't help but feel pain: It's hard to see that those ancient books are really valuable, otherwise how could this young man come over to inquire about those books.
Tentatively asked, "Young man, are my books worth much?" "My eyes are full of anticipation. Hua Wenhao didn't know how to answer him! If you want to talk about value, if the "Green Capsule Sutra" in his mind really comes from those ancient books, those books are priceless, but it's a pity that even the most valuable things are now gone. "I just saw a few lines of words from a few fragments, it seems to be a medical book" Hua Wenhao carefully worded, Ji Keli looked like a very philistine person, Hua Wenhao didn't want to get into other trouble.
"I'm studying medicine, so I'm more interested in ancient medical books!" Ji Keli showed a disappointed look, he only cared about the price of ancient books, as for what kind of books they were, it had nothing to do with him. Ji Keli said with hope: "The book is gone, but the box containing the book is still there, do you want to take a look!" ”
Ji Keli observed Hua Wenhao's reaction, saw Hua Wenhao's happy expression, and thought: It's a pity that those books were destroyed, otherwise they could be sold for a high price for this young man. How did Hua Wenhao know that Ji Keli would have such an idea.
Ji Keli let Hua Wenhao into the room, and he pulled out a dark red box from the box. Hua Wenhao recognized this box as soon as he saw it, this box was made of sandalwood, and it was definitely the old kind. As for the long time, he, a rookie who doesn't understand the market for antiques, has no way of knowing. You must know that the antique market has been extremely hot in recent years, and all kinds of appreciation programs often broadcast on TV have also given wings to this antique wind, and Chinese antiques have also gone all the way in the international market, otherwise Ji Keli would not have taken a few ancient books to the Tiannan antique market to try his luck.
Since those ancient books are in this sandalwood box, Hua Wenhao naturally treasures them, and carefully holds them over and looks left and right, and there is a strange feeling of déjà vu, and he can't bear to put it down. This sandalwood box is carved from a whole piece of red sandalwood, the box is divided into two layers, the middle can be pulled out, can be placed five or six books, sandalwood to evil, dry, mildew, insects, anti-station, with the box made of it to preserve books, although luxurious, but the best to keep the age of books.
The whole box is integrated, without too much decoration, and there is only a dragon carved on the lid of the box, which looks simple and generous without its decoration. "How's this box, young man, what kind of wood is it made of! Is it worth the money? ”
Ji Keli only knew that this box was very durable, but he didn't know how much money this box could sell, if it wasn't too heavy, he would definitely bring the box and books to the antique market in Tiannan a few days ago. "This is a box made of purple purlin, it is very old, and it should be worth some money." Hua Wenhao told the truth, he didn't know much about the antique market, so he didn't know how much this box could sell.
"It's worth a lot of money!" Ji Keli was overjoyed, originally still annoyed by the lost books, but as soon as he heard Hua Wenhao say that this box was worth some money, he immediately came to the god jīng. hurriedly "snatched" it from Hua Wenhao's hands. "I've seen it, so let's leave it at that! If you don't have anything else to do, young man, I'm going to collect scrap this afternoon! ”
How could Hua Wenhao have thought that Ji Keli would change his face when he said that he would change his face, although he didn't find anything from this purlin box itself, but the strange feeling of holding it in his hand made him extremely comfortable, as if he had owned it a long time ago, which made him extremely reluctant.
"Uncle, let's do it! You tell me, where did you get this box from, and how good can I buy it! Ji Keli waited for Hua Wenhao's words, he has a loud nickname called "Old Money Fans", he has long seen from Hua Wenhao's eyes that he likes this box very much, or he will be slaughtered hard, then he will really wronged his nickname. Ji Keli stretched out three fingers and shook them in front of Hua Wenhao's eyes, and Hua Wenhao's expression was suffocated.
"Uncle, what you want is too expensive! 30,000 is too much! Not only Ji Kejuan was startled, but Ji Keli was also startled after Leng Shen, and then his heart beat uncontrollably. He stretched out three fingers with the original intention of asking for three thousand, if the other party is too expensive, he will also admit to sell two thousand yuan, you must know that this box is found from the bags of waste paper when he collects waste paper, at best, it is only a dozen yuan of capital, and it can be sold for two thousand yuan can make him happy for a few nights, this stupid boy actually said that 30,000 yuan is too expensive, it is really his nǎinǎi wronged head, or he will be slaughtered hard, I am really sorry for his nickname.
