The two walked in the field for half the night, and for fear of taking the wrong path, they found another pile of corn and oranges, and slept in it all night, and got up the next morning, asked for directions, and went hungry for a long time, and returned to the inn where they had stayed before. When the shopkeeper saw them coming back, he said earnestly: "Two, you are back, and I have fed your horses well." ”

Thinking of the experience of the past two days, Hu Xuan said to Shi Suo: "Our big hero this time is really wronged, ridiculous, and careless, it's really unacceptable." That flying mountain monkey will not give up, how we go next, we have to plan carefully. ”

Shi Suo remembered the matter of the tomb robber and asked: "When you were in that black tomb, you said that you would buy a fake cultural relic, did you want to make a fake jade seal and deceive the flying mountain monkey?" ”

"That's right," Hu Xuan said: "I think so, after the Flying Mountain Monkey surrendered to that Mr. Yu, the power is even greater, the means are more poisonous, they can't get the jade seal, and they absolutely refuse to stop, so let's fake one first, and let them get it at the right time." ”

"Oh, this time it's not a big hero, it's a big liar."

The two ate in the inn, took a bath, did not hurry to hurry, asked the shopkeeper in detail about the road outside the four sides, planned for a long time, and decided to choose a remote road, first to Changsha, and then back to the north through Baoding.

Early the next morning, both of them put on makeup, and Hu Bolt glued a big beard to himself, and then rode on the road, being cautious on the road, and staying overnight, fortunately, the two armies of the north and south no longer went to war, and the war disaster temporarily retreated, and the situation was relatively calm, and there was nothing to do all the way. On this day, I arrived outside Changsha City.

Hu Xuan said: "These days, we only care about running for our lives, rushing in a panic, to here, simply relax, go to visit the scenic spots, Changsha is a cultural resort since ancient times, the scenery and historic sites are countless, one of the seventy-two peaks of Hengshan Yuelu Mountain, on both sides of the Xiangjiang River, the scenery is said to be excellent. ”

Shi Suo readily agreed, and the two of them found an inn to settle down, rested for a while, and then said hello to the path and walked into the Qingfeng Gorge of Yuelu Mountain.

Entering the mountain, the scenery is really beautiful, the peaks and valleys, the twists and turns are born in the kitsch, the mountains and valleys are full of lush towering ancient trees, although the maple leaves are not yet red at this time, but the layers are stacked, the splendid spread, enough to pleasing to the eye, Hu Xuan said: "One of the four famous pavilions in the world Aiwan Pavilion, in this gorge, the famous poem of Du Mu in the Tang Dynasty 'far on the cold mountain stone path slope, Baiyunsheng has a home, parking and sitting in love with the maple forest in the evening, the frost leaves are red in February flowers', it is written here. ”

Although Shi Suo is a rough man, but this poem has also been heard, the scenery in the mountains is also full of praise, Hu Xuan said: "The scenery everywhere is different, here is like a wonderful garden, all kinds of flowers are blooming, countless can not be said, than in the Hu family to see those strange peaks and mountains, each has different wonders." ”

Shi Suo said: "Yes, the scenery is different in every place, just like people, there are all kinds of things, some are kind, some are vicious. ”

"Is this an appropriate analogy?" Hu Xuan smiled, thought for a while and said: "Of course people are different, otherwise, how can they constitute the world?" Like Zhao Ming, although he has something in common with us, but when you think about it, there is a big difference, he stands tall and sees far, much smarter than us. ”

Walk all the way, although the world is not peaceful, but there are a lot of people who play in the mountains, the two follow the pedestrians, climb the Aiwan Pavilion, the pavilion is built in the mountains, surrounded by maple leaves, the pavilion is made exquisitely abnormal, two layers of cornices, live off is a swallow that spreads its wings and wants to fly, in the green mountains and green trees in the air to make a possibility, stand in the pavilion and look around, surrounded by mountains on three sides, the east is open, look at the purple verdant and verdant, the flowing spring continues, Hu Bolt said: "No wonder Du Mu is here, can sing the quatrain of the ages, in the face of such a landscape, who is not poetic?" ”

is admiring, from the mountain road to a few tourists, while walking and pointing, talking and laughing, Hu bolt sharp eyes, at a glance to see that one of them is his classmate Xiao Li, at that time in Tianjin, Xiao Li reneged on his promise, tended to be inflammatory, and finally parted ways with himself, but somehow got here.

At this time, Xiao Li also saw Hu Shu, was a little embarrassed for a while, and walked over and said, "Hu Shu, you are also here." ”

Hu Xuan smiled and said: "Yes, we passed by here and came here to see the famous places." ”

Xiao Li pushed his glasses and asked, "Are you okay these days?" ”

Hu Shuan shook his head, "It's not good, the world is difficult, it's frustrating, and we're getting ready to go home." As for you, you must be proud. ”

Who knew that Xiao Li also shook his head, sighed and said: "Don't mention it, it's hard to say, just like you said, the world is difficult, and it makes people disheartened." Speaking of which, look at the companions who came with him, who had already walked away, and hurriedly said: "Hu Xuan, I live in the Zhangjia Mansion in the city, you have time to find me." After saying that, he hurried away.

The two walked down the pavilion, walked along the mountain road, and played for a long time before returning to the inn, Shi Suo said: "Your classmate, you look much more sophisticated than when you were in Tianjin." Hu Xuan said: "How can we not be like this, at that time he was greedy for fame and fortune, I wanted to strangle him to death, now, I feel that he was a little naïve at that time, his appearance today, it seems that he has experienced a lot of things, there are a lot of understandings, and so on to the city, if there is time, I really want to talk to him." ”

The next day, according to the address provided by the tomb robber, the two found the "Jade King" antique shop, the store is really magnificent, antique, Hu Xuan first admired the various antique jade in the store for a while, he looked at it with the eyes of a connoisseur, there are real and fake goods, there is a small square jade seal, which attracted his attention, which is engraved with the words "Qi Jiguang seal" in Yin text, he turned over and looked at it for a long time, and a shopkeeper said to him: "Guest officer, the origin of this seal can be described as peculiar, this year, a fisherman in Beijing, Catching a large fish weighing more than 40 catties in Beihe, he lifted the fish to the shore and cut it into small pieces for retail. When cutting, it was found that there was a piece of hard iron in the belly of the fish. After rinsing it and looking closely, it turned out to be a small square seal, which is this seal, do you say strange? Qi Jiguang's seal, how could the fish eat it? ”

"How much do you sell this for?" Hu Shuan asked.

"Three hundred oceans, as long as the silver ocean, no money."

Hu Xuan smiled: "Then you have made a lot of money." However, three hundred yuan is not too high. ”

At this time, a chubby middle-aged man came over and said to Hu Xuan: "Sir, you seem to be a person in this way, are you shipping or receiving?" The brother is the owner of the shop. ”

"Oh?" Hu Xuan nodded, "It turned out to be Boss Cai, I wanted to make something, and I came here to admire it." ”

"Inside, please."

Hu Shuan followed him into the inner room, and after some talking, Boss Cai heard that Hu Shuan was going to make a "national seal", got up from the chair, paced two steps, and said: "Sir, this is not a trivial matter, the thing you said is too important." I have to think about it. ”

"What's there to think about, a lot of these things in your store are made by yourself, right?" Hu Xuan said with a smile.

Boss Cai looked at Hu Bolt and smiled, "Mr. is refreshing, but there are also a lot of them, and I can't figure out the truth myself." ”

"No, you're a veteran of this way, do you have a time to wander?"

Boss Cai said: "That's too much, now the world is chaotic, but there are more people digging graves and robbing graves than in peaceful years, and the goods collected are uneven, and I still have several things, so I can't get it." ”

"Really? Can I take a look? Hu Shu asked.

"That's great." Boss Cai led Hu Bolt to the outside room, took out several antiques, Hu Bolt identified one by one, he was good at studying in school, the academic level was outstanding, and was admired by teachers and students.

After the appraisal was completed, Boss Cai slapped the table, "Sir, I took the job you said, and only charged you the cost of work, but you have to help me for two days." ”

"Helper?"

"Yes," Boss Cai said with a smile: "To put it bluntly, it is for you to help me identify antiquities, help me identify, and also help others identify. ”

Hu Xuan was naturally interested in identifying antiquities, but he still didn't understand, "Boss Cai, I'm just a novice, you've been an expert for many years, why do you want me to identify it?" Besides, there are a lot of talents in the cultural relics industry, you must have a lot of old knowledge, we only have one side, why are you looking for me? ”

"Not really." Boss Cai shook his head, "There are naturally people who know how to do it, but there are not many people who can speak out, and some people deliberately confuse the public for some purposes." Besides, now that wars are frequent, Hunan and Hubei are important war zones, many experts have been displaced and fled to other places. ”

"Thank you for your love." Hu Shui arched his hand, "Let's just say that we will cooperate with each other." ”

After lunch at noon, Shi Suo said: "You go to the antique store to do that appraisal yourself, I'm not interested in that, I'll go to the Qingfeng Gorge of Yuelu Mountain to play." ”

"Okay."

Hu Xuan went to the antique shop alone, and before he arrived at the door, he saw a big red banner hanging on the lintel of the store, which read: "The store specially invited the famous national archaeologists to come to the store to identify and evaluate the antiques, sincerely welcome all Tibetan friends to come to the store to watch, and free of charge to the Tibetan friends of antiquities to evaluate." ”

He was stunned for a moment, and then said to himself: Didn't he let me help alone? Did you invite other experts to do the evaluation? When he walked into the store and asked, Boss Cai smiled: "I didn't invite anyone else, the archaeologist I am talking about is you." ”
