Chapter 18 Get together and have a good time
A car was parked not far away, and Xiao Yu hurriedly ran over. When Xiao Yu approached the car, he found a simple tent driving on a sunken lawn more than ten meters away from the car, and dozens of instant noodle buckets and mustard buns were piled up next to the tent, as well as a pile of empty water bottles. In the inside of the tent, I saw two people sleeping soundly, who were Zhang and Chen Zhen?
Xiao Yu looked at the two of them with scruffy beards and wrinkled clothes, and he didn't care so much, so he stepped forward and pushed the two of them a few times, and said, "Wake up, why did you come here to live?"
Chen Zhen got up, hurriedly rubbed his eyes, and said loudly: "What? Where are you still alive?" Seeing that Zhang He was still asleep, he kicked over and shouted: "Zhang He, Zhang He, he is still alive." ”
Xiao Yu was a little surprised when he saw Chen Zhen kicking Zhang He, how could these two people get so familiar all of a sudden?
As soon as Zhang He woke up and saw Xiao Yu, he immediately hugged him, and said with a little cry in his voice: "Brother, brother, it's good to come back, it's good to come back." ”
Xiao Yu felt Zhang He's sincerity, he hadn't seen each other for a day, he was so worried about himself, and he couldn't help but feel a warmth in his heart.
Seeing this, Chen Zhen stepped forward and pulled Zhang He away, and said to Xiao Yu: "What? When I don't exist? You don't know how much I worry about you? Say, what good things did you bring back?"
Zhang He said: "Chen Zhen, are you okay? I waited for four or five days before Xiao Yu came back, and as soon as we met, I said what to bring back things? People are better than anything else." He stepped forward and pulled Xiao Yu to get into the car.
Xiao Yu looked puzzled and asked, "What's the matter?"
When Zhang He heard this, he took out his mobile phone and looked at the time and said, "To be precise... It's four days and fourteen and a half hours, you know?"
Chen Zhen immediately came over and said with a meritorious expression: "That's it, we're afraid that we won't be able to find us when you come back, of course, we're still afraid that something will happen to you." So I didn't go to work for a few days, and my food and accommodation were waiting for you here. ”
It turned out that Xiao Yu had been in the Qing Dynasty for less than a day, but Zhang He and Chen Zhen had been waiting here for almost five days, perhaps in response to the saying 'one day in the mountains, a thousand years in the world'.
In the past five days, Chen Zhen was going to leave that night, but Zhang He's request kept waiting, and the two quarreled for a long time, but they still couldn't resist Zhang He, so they slept in the car. The next day, several times Chen Zhen couldn't wait any longer, so he drove away, but in the car, he thought, if Xiao Yu can bring back a lot of antiques, won't he have nothing to do with himself when he is not there... On the way, I had to turn around and drive back, just be a good person to the end, find a supermarket on the way, sell a very cheap tent and a few boxes of instant noodles, and kick two dozen mineral water back to the hillside by the way. also took the trouble to tell Zhang He that he was going to purchase daily necessities, and then called the unit and his wife to ask for a few days off. In this way, the two of them lived a very simple life in the wild, due to the tension of the water, their faces were not washed, their teeth were not brushed, and fortunately, there were no nearby villagers to disturb them in this remote place.
After knowing all the circumstances, Xiao Yu's eyes were wet, and he stepped forward and hugged the two tightly together to thank them for their affection and righteousness.
On the way back, Zhang He looked at Xiao Yu and asked with a smile: "Why did you wear a robe? He didn't ask where Xiao Yu went or what he did, in his eyes, as long as Xiao Yu could come back, it was his greatest wish to be a friend, and it didn't matter what else he did.
When Chen Zhen heard Zhang He ask about the topic, he hurriedly turned his head and asked, "I said, where have you been for so many days, have you brought back anything?"
When Xiao Yu heard this, he remembered the object brought back by this crossing, so he laughed, put the backpack in front, and when he opened the backpack, he found that the cloth was only wrapped in a calligraphy and painting, and there was still only one piece of calligraphy and painting left and right, Xiao Yu suddenly said: "I went, I lost one." Just this sentence, just listening to the car's 'zig' and then the brakes stopped.
Chen Zhen turned around and asked eagerly, "What have you lost, what have you lost?"
Zhang He and Xiao Yu leaned forward suddenly, and they were a little surprised when they saw Chen Zhen's somewhat thunderous questioning.
Looking at the two of them looking at him blankly, Chen Zhen felt a little out of shape, and immediately explained: "I mean I'm afraid that Brother Xiao will work hard in vain, and there is nothing else." ”
Xiao Yu and Zhang He know each other, but they always have to save face for him, after all, it is not easy to work hard for a few days.
Xiao Yu said: "When I came back, I traveled back to the Republic of China, where there was a war. When I forced my way through the 'Time and Space Gate', I might have lost a calligraphy and painting... Yes, I felt it when it fell. If I hadn't made it back, I guess the brothers would have to wait another five or six days. He put his hand in his backpack.
Chen Zhen looked at Xiao Yu to see what he could take out of his backpack, and just when he was extremely nervous, Xiao Yu was holding a silver ingot with white flowers in his hand...
"Wow... Wow. Chen Zhen's eyes suddenly lit up greedily, and he slowly took the ingot of silver and held it in his hand almost drooling. I saw that the ingot of silver was shaped like a small boat, heavy, and the middle of the silver ingot was marked with the mark of 'the ninth year of Qianlong'. The two small imprints next to it are 'Treasury Silver' and 'Official Manufacturing', looking at the bottom of the silver ingot, it looks like a hornet's nest.
Chen Zhen said suspiciously: "Are so many holes worth anything? Are they being deceived?"
Zhang He took it casually, looked at it briefly, threw it into his backpack, and said to Chen Zhen: "You drive your car! Chen Zhen was still unwilling, and then asked, "Just bring back a piece of silver?"
Xiao Yu didn't want to hurt Chen Zhen, after all, people had been waiting for him for many days, no matter what the purpose was, he opened the cloth and took out the calligraphy and painting and said, "There is another calligraphy and painting, and I don't know who painted it." ”
Chen Zhen took it cautiously and opened it slowly, it was a pair of ink flowers and birds. Chen Zhen couldn't understand it, he always felt that this painting was more valuable than the ingots of silver, and he couldn't help but be happy. He slowly rolled it up and handed it to Xiao Yu, and with a happy face, he started the car and said to Xiao Yu: "Brother, where are you going to eat? It can be regarded as a pick-up for Brother Xiao. ”
He and Zhang He have been instant noodles and mustard with white water every day for the past few days, and the oil and water in their stomachs have long been exhausted, and they urgently need a big meal to comfort the Five Organs Temple. The reason why he wanted to treat him was because for the sake of Xiao Yu bringing back the antiques, he was afraid that it would be miserable to give himself a consolation prize when the time came to share the benefits.
At this time, what is urgently needed is to get closer to them, let yourself integrate into them and become one of them, and then you can benefit evenly... After all, the follow-up trading will continue, of course, you can't be stingy.
Two hours later, when he entered the city, Chen Zhen parked his car in a fairly high-end restaurant, and the three of them entered the restaurant and Chen Zhen asked for a small private room.
The waiter who came to order food looked at these unkempt and unshaven men and was a little suspicious of their spending power, so he said kindly: "Our consumption here is very high, and it is also good to have a restaurant next door to a few gentlemen..."
As soon as Chen Zhen heard this, he immediately glared and shouted, "What are you talking about?"
Where has the waiter seen any silver ingots? Seeing him shouting, he suddenly lost his mind.
Zhang He was also angry when he heard the waiter's words, but his group of people did dress a bit like called Huazi, this era is the era of 'only heavy clothes and not heavy people', when he worked in the restaurant, he also judged people by their appearance, and estimated the consumption power of diners? ”
The waiter was yelled at just now, and he didn't dare to insist on persuading the customer anymore after hearing this. Chen Zhen took the menu disdainfully, didn't look at the price of the dishes, ordered more than a dozen dishes unceremoniously, and asked for a bottle of wine, and the waiter left the private room with some confusion after verifying the menu.
Just heard Xiao Yu's 'poof' and laughed, and the two laughing people looked at him inexplicably.
Xiao Yu hurriedly explained that he had encountered the same thing in the Qing Dynasty, saying that he had eaten a table of dishes for less than a tael of silver, how difficult the hotel guys were for themselves, etc., the two of them were very speechless.
After the meal came up, the three of them almost ate a mess, especially Chen Zhen, who picked fish and meat and stuffed them into his mouth.
Seeing that the time was almost up, when Chen Zhen shouted 'pay the bill', the waiter quickly came in and handed over the payment slip, Chen Zhen was dumbfounded when he saw it, but he didn't want to drop the price. Watching him shudder and take out a credit card from his purse and hand it to the waiter, the expression on his face was very unnatural, and he probably didn't know if he was distressed to the bone.
"How much did it cost?" Xiao Yu asked with concern.
Chen Zhen's face turned white for a while, and he said a little absent-mindedly: "There is nothing to do, it's only more than two thousand yuan... Drizzle, drizzle. "I said it was drizzling, but I guess there was a downpour in my heart.
Unexpectedly, he muttered another sentence unconsciously: "What about next month's mortgage?"
Zhang He and Xiao Yu looked at each other, not knowing how he could say this sentence again.
After settling the account, the three of them got into the car, and when they arrived at the door of the house, Chen Zhen said that he wanted to go up and live with them today, saying that he wanted to hear the story of Xiao Yu after the crossing.
Anyway, the two big men also have a sofa for him to sleep on.
Back at home, the three of them first took turns bathing and shaving.
After a period of hectic rest, I was finally able to stretch and lie down. After cleaning up his personal hygiene, Chen Zhen went downstairs and came up with a dozen beers after a while.
No matter what Chen Zhen's purpose was, the two still felt that although this person was greedy for profit, he was still a friend who shared weal and woe.
Xiao Yu took out the ingot of silver, unfolded the painting again, and the three of them stared at it for a long time. Chen Zhen looked at the calligraphy and painting and wondered whose handwriting it was.
Seeing that the name of the painting is Xu Wei, no one can figure out how famous the person who painted is.
Xiao Yu said: "It seems that the painting was written by Wen Zhengming, and I remember it very clearly when I read it at Shopkeeper Liu's house." ”
"Wen Zhengming, that is the same era as Tang Bohu, yes, it is from the Ming Dynasty, Wen Zhengming, known as the 'Four Great Talents of Jiangnan'?" right," Chen Zhen's eyes widened, and his eyes were full of bloodshot A series of rhetorical questions and questions.
"Maybe it's him, I also remember Tang Bohu, Zhu Zhishan, Wen Zhengming..." Before Xiao Yu finished speaking, he saw Chen Zhen smash his head with a punch, as if he was responsible for losing his calligraphy and paintings.
saw that Chen Zhen immediately had a big bag on his head, but he didn't know where he was beating his chest and dancing wildly.
Zhang He and Xiao Yumu looked at Chen Zhen with a smile, feeling that this person was a little incredible, even if his father died, he wouldn't be like this, right?
"Okay, you know how to cut it? No, a million. Chen Zhen exclaimed regretfully, oh, it turns out that he is like this because the money is gone. The two couldn't help but glance at each other, this kid made himself look like a psychopath for an invisible piece of money, and he was the only one in the world.
