Chapter 354: The Show Begins
Ghost Blows Out the Lantern World, Beijing.
After several turnovers, Lin Chen and the others returned to Beijing without danger.
You know, in the desert, their situation is worse than in the original play.
Don't worry about the water source, but the food is different.
Most of the food was dry, and then when I fled from the Exquisite Ancient City, the Great Desert blew away a lot.
Because they were busy running for their lives, everyone didn't pay much attention.
Fortunately, there are Lin Chen's food supplies and medicine supplies.
Because Professor Chen and Hao Aiguo are not in good health, it would not have been for Lin Chen's miracle medicine - penicinin and some other medicines.
It is estimated that Professor Chen and Hao Aiguo will not survive.
Professor Chen woke up after the Great Sandstorm left, and Ye Yixin and the others told him about the situation of the Exquisite Ancient Kingdom.
As a result, Professor Chen couldn't get up in one breath and fainted again.
Although the ancient city was destroyed, the ancient tomb of Prince Gumo was still there, and after returning to Beijing, Professor Chen went to the relevant departments to report the situation.
As for Lin Chen's use of explosives to blow up cracks, Professor Chen didn't mention it, because the Exquisite Ancient City was not necessarily destroyed because of that little explosive.
Because nothing happened to the person, the matter was gone.
After returning to Beijing, the first thing Lin Chen and the others did was to sleep.
After sleeping for a day and a night, the three of them went out to eat hot pot in a group.
On the morning of the third day, the three of them went to find the big gold tooth to make a deal.
Seeing Lin Chen and the others bringing back so many good things, the big golden tooth couldn't close his mouth when he smiled.
You must know that Lin Chen has a lot of commissions for every order they sell here.
Since antiques can't be sold in a while, the things they brought back from the Exquisite Ancient City were first placed at the Great Golden Tooth.
However, the things that were sold at the Great Gold Tooth before, including the coffin, were sold.
In addition to the commission, the big golden tooth gave Lin Chen a huge sum of more than 6 million yuan.
More than six million yuan, what was the concept in the seventies and eighties.
More than 6 million yuan could buy more than 1,000 ordinary houses in Beijing at that time.
Because of the large number, Hu Bayi sent 5,000 yuan to the martyrs of his company, which can be regarded as the right comrades-in-arms who live with him.
After the money for the big golden tooth was settled, Lin Chen told him that there were still several coffins in their big courtyard.
When the big golden tooth heard this, he hurriedly said that he was going to Lin Chen's mansion.
In the end, Lin Chen put all the coffins he brought from the Kwantung Army fortress in a room in the mansion, and then asked the big golden tooth to find someone to take them away.
After having money, the fat man is happy everywhere for a day, after all, the next trip to the tomb is to die or live, and of course he has to have a good leisure and entertainment when he is free.
Lin Chen and Hu Bayi are studying all kinds of ancient books at home.
Lin Chen's words were based on the legends about the abandoned Tang Dynasty tomb they were about to go to.
That is, a few days, on this day, the fat man went out and had a good time.
Lin Chen and Hu Bayi were sleeping at home, and at this time, there was a knock on the door.
It's Shirley Yang, and she's here to settle the bill for Lin Chen.
In the end, after some persuasion to no avail, Shirley Young left.
However, the look in her eyes when she left made Lin Chen feel terrified, did this Nima want the old cow to eat tender grass? It is impossible to drop, old iron.
Although they have money, Lin Chen fooled Hu Bayi that they can't sit and eat empty, and they will definitely have to go to the tomb in the future, so they must learn more about the ancient tomb and antiques, and when the time comes, they will be able to bring back all the valuable things when they go to the tomb.
It was because of Lin Chen's flickering that the three of them set up a store in Panjiayuan.
The characteristic of Panjiayuan is miscellaneous, ancient and modern, large and small, everything is available, but very valuable Ming utensils are relatively rare, which are traded privately and rarely sold on the market.
At the beginning, under the guidance of the big gold tooth, the three of them collected small items such as pots and pots, old money, snuff bottles, and old pocket watches in the suburbs, and brought them back to sell in the antique market.
But Lin Chen and the three of them don't know how to do it, Lin Chen only understands the inside of the ancient tomb.
After all, the people in the ancient tombs are all real guys, and the ones on the market, oops, it's hard to say.
Not only did the three of them not make any money, but they also lost a lot.
This couldn't help but shake Hu Bayi's heart to do antique business with the fat man.
After a few more days, it was almost noon, the antique market seemed a little deserted, there were not too many people, Lin Chen and the three of them sat in front of the store and played fighting the landlord, this is still Lin Chen taught Hu Bayi their leisure and entertainment methods.
Just as he was playing hard, suddenly a person came in front of him, walking around in front of the store and not leaving, the fat man thought he was going to see something, so he asked: "What's the matter, this master, what do you see?" ”
Lin Chen also found this person, and his eyes suddenly lit up, old brother, you are finally here.
Lin Chen pulled this person into the shop very enthusiastically, then asked him to sit down, and made him another cup of tea.
Hu Bayi and the others were a little surprised, after all, Lin Chen had never seemed to be so enthusiastic about anyone.
Lin Chen doesn't want to, brother, you don't know, you've been in this world for so long.
I eat rice and rice every day, and meat or something, which is a very good life.
But the main problem is that none of these things contain aura.
The food in the Xiuzhen world was not as delicious as the food, so Lin Chen just ate it, and a bird was about to fade out of his mouth.
Now that the brother of the plot development is finally here, can Lin Chen not be enthusiastic?
The man took a sip of tea with some restraint.
Lin Chen smiled and asked, "Brother, do you have something that you need to do?" ”
Lin Chen knew his name, so he skipped the name and asked directly.
Li Chunlai looked around and saw that there were no suspicious people.
Then he said, "I have a shoe, how much can you spend." ”
Speaking of shoes, Lin Chen's eyes brightened, and then asked: "This, it's not easy to fake, you have to take a look at the goods first, if it's good, the price will definitely not be low." ”
Seeing that Lin Chen was quite friendly, Li Chunlai opened a crack in the leather bag on his body that looked like a treasure, and inside was a legendary three-inch golden lotus shoe.
Before the three of them could take a closer look, Li Chunlai closed the drawing.
Before Lin Chen could say anything, the fat man said on the side: "I fucking said what kind of good thing it is, isn't it just a broken shoe, what is a good baby." ”
Seeing the fat man say this, Li Chunlai stood up and wanted to leave.
Lin Chen stopped Li Chunlai, then looked at the fat man and said, "Fatty, you forgot, who is holding a skull as your own treasure, and you are still talking about others." ”
The fat man's fat face flushed, and then he turned his face away and ignored Lin Chen.
Lin Chen smiled, then looked at Li Chunlai and said, "It's not too early now, or let's talk while eating, go to the hot pot restaurant in Dongsi, I'll have a treat." ”
Li Chunlai swallowed, then nodded.
The hot pot restaurant in Dongsi is still a time-honored brand, and Lin Chen and they often come here to blow hot pot, and they can be regarded as regular customers here.
asked for a box, and the four of them got into the box.
Lin Chen didn't speak, but waited for the dish to come up.
None of the four spoke, just ate with their heads down.
Because he had something to do, Lin Chen ate quickly, and he finished eating in a while.
Looking at Li Chunlai, who was still eating, Lin Chen said: "Brother, look, there are no outsiders here now, can you take out your things and show us." ”
Li Chunlai nodded, and then took the one from the leather bag on the side to Lin Chen.
After taking the embroidered shoes, Lin Chen didn't look at them, but handed them over to Hu Bayi.
After Hu Bayi took a look, Lin Chen looked at Li Chunlai and asked about the origin of this embroidered shoe.
In their place, there has been nine droughts in ten years, and this year there is a big drought, and there is not a single rain star in the sky, and the villagers are forced to think of a little crooked way.
In order to beg for rain, the village has used all kinds of tricks. There was a blind man who knew how to tell fortunes and said that this was a drought and that it would only rain if it had been a drought.
Everyone asked him where there was a drought, and the blind man counted it for a long time, but he didn't figure it out. At this time, a sheep herding baby said that when he was herding sheep, he saw a child with a green body running into an ownerless coffin in the cemetery that had long been abandoned in the east of the village. I don't know which one the coffin belongs to, no one in the village has buried people in that cemetery for a long time, and this broken coffin has not been buried for some reason.
As soon as the blind man who knew how to tell fortunes heard this, he insisted that the droughts were hiding in this coffin, and as soon as the villagers discussed, they were ready to open the coffins with their hands to see if there were any droughts.
When the village chief heard this, he disagreed, saying that the blind man was talking nonsense. The blind man also got angry, and made a bet with the village chief that if he could not find the drought in the ownerless coffin, he would let the blind man's son herd sheep for the village chief's house for a year.
As a result, the villagers went to the deserted grave in the east, and they did what they said, and opened the lid of the coffin.
As soon as the lid of the coffin was opened, only a fishy smell could be heard.
A few brave people who were not afraid of death pinched their noses and came to the front, and they were all startled when they looked inside. There was a female corpse lying in the coffin, and the clothes and jewelry on her body were very well preserved, all of them were the same as new, but looking at the dress, it was by no means all in modern times, this was an ancient corpse.
Although the costume was intact and new, the corpse was shriveled, and the muscles and skin were like dead tree bark. Just above the head of the female corpse, there was a small monkey-like monster with green hair all over his body, only more than seven inches long, and the little green-haired monkey was still alive, curled up in a ball and sleeping.
When the blind man heard the fool, they beat the green-haired monkey to death, and finally felt incomprehensible and hated, and burned his corpse in a fire.
By this time, it was already dusk, and the villagers asked the blind man what to do with the female corpse in the coffin. The blind man said that if he kept it sooner or later, it would be a disaster, and that it would be better to let people burn it as soon as possible, and no one should take anything from it.
At first, everyone was still a little hesitant, after all, the corpse in this coffin was not modern, and there were many gold and silver jewelry, so it would be a pity to burn it.
While the villagers were hesitating, the dark clouds in the sky were thickening, and there was a faint sound of thunder, and it seemed that it was going to rain heavily.
Since the blind man said that the coffin must be burned, then it must be burned. In the end, the village chief decided to let Li Chunlai stay and light the coffin. Li Chunlai is a wretched person, usually the village chief tells him to do whatever he wants, but although he was scared at this time, he had to stay hard.
In order to burn the coffin before it rained, he hurriedly brought a few bundles of dry firewood, piled them haphazardly under the coffin, lit a fire, and burned it.
Li Chunlai squatted next to him and stared, he was a poor bachelor, he was almost forty years old and had no money to marry his mother-in-law, at this time thinking of the gold and silver in the coffin, he couldn't help but feel a little moved, but unfortunately he didn't dare to take it just now, now the fire has burned, and he can't get it if he wants to, and he doesn't know if it's worth it.
In a short time, there were several thunderclaps in the sky, and then a downpour of rain extinguished the fire.
He could have done it, but on the way, the horses from their village came back and took away all the valuable things, leaving him only an embroidered shoe as a hush money.
Under Ma Daring's threat, the two could only bury the coffin, and then nothing happened.
Lying on his own kang at night, he couldn't sleep well after tossing and turning, and as soon as he closed his eyes, he dreamed that the female corpse and her son came to choke his neck, and he was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.
The rain did not stop all night, and when it was almost morning, he heard that there was a mess outside, and Li Chunlai hurriedly put on his clothes and went out to see what was going on.
It was Ma Daring's family that was beaten by lightning, and the whole family died.
Because of the discovery of the gold and silver jewelry of Ma Daring's family, Li Chunlai explained the truth to the village chief.
After being reprimanded for a few words, Li Chunlai was timid and didn't dare to sell the embroidered shoes casually, after all, all the money for his daughter-in-law depended on this embroidered shoe.
To this day, when a distant relative of Li Chunlai in a neighboring county went to Beijing to run a transportation operation, he said a basket of good things, took a hitchhike and followed him to Beijing. Speaking of which, it can be regarded as fate, and the first time he opened his mouth, he found Lin Chen and them.
There are too many plots in this world, but there is no way, I don't have other good worlds to write, so I can only continue to write.
