Beijing, East 14, Kidnapper Hutong, two aunts fried noodles.

When I saw Hou Dayong, this kid was holding a bowl of fried noodles and eating them very fragrantly.

Seeing me, Hou Dayong hurriedly shouted: "Hu Tian, where is it!" Come on, come on, sit! ”

I pulled over a bench and sat down, looked at this kid with noodles on his face, frowned and said, "Your old man can't find it, you still have the fucking heart to eat fried noodles?" ”

Hou Dayong wiped his mouth with his sleeve and said: "As the old saying goes, people are iron, rice is steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry and panic." ”

I scolded, "Where do you get so much?" Seriously, what's going on? ”

Hou Dayong didn't answer me directly, but took out something from his pocket, threw it on the table in front of me, and said, "Do you know this thing?" ”

I picked it up and looked at it, and saw that it was a thumb-sized tortoiseshell piece.

This tortoiseshell piece is very old, very light and thin, the whole presents a faint black-brown color, the shape is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, and there are two strange lines of text engraved on it, like tadpoles, and like some kind of strange symbol.

This thing turned out to be exactly the same as the tortoiseshell piece in the photo Uncle Xu gave me, I took this tortoiseshell piece and looked at it carefully for a long time, until Hou Dayong pushed me several times, I came back to my senses, only to hear him say: "Hey, what's wrong with you kid?" ”

Hou Dayong stuffed the last few mouthfuls of noodles in the bowl into his mouth, and after a while, he said slowly: "Your family runs an antique shop, and you are more or less knowledgeable than me, a second-class dealer who dumps fakes in Panjiayuan, I don't have many friends, and you are the only one who can ask for this aspect." Can you help me see what this thing is? ”

I took this tortoiseshell piece and asked Hou Dayong, "Where did you get this thing?" ”

Hou Dayong looked at me and said, "I found it on my old man's desk." ”

I took the tortoiseshell piece and looked at it for a long time, and said slowly: "Are you sure this thing is not your old man's?" ”

Hou Dayong shook his head and said, "I'm sure!" Our family is different from yours, there is not such a big family business, what is there for my old man, I have a clear heart. This thing can't be our old man's. As for why it appeared on our old man's desk, I don't know. ”

Hou Dayong said as he took out Zhongnanhai in his pocket and handed it to me, then ordered another one himself, took two puffs, and then slowly continued: "A few days ago, a person came to find our old man, and the two of them chatted in the house for most of the day, and I was not interested in listening to what he said, so I didn't care. I just know that since that person came, my old man has become very eccentric, and his temper has become much shorter, and he smashes things when he has nothing to do. I didn't take it seriously, but who would have thought that the old man had gone out for a trip at five o'clock last night and never came back, and I found this on his desk this morning. Then, I'll call you, and that's the way it is. ”

I took a puff of my cigarette and fiddled with the tortoiseshell piece in my hand, and after a while I said slowly, "Monkey, this is not easy. Looks like we're in trouble. ”

Hou Dayong frowned and said, "What do you say? Does this thing have anything to do with your family? ”

I nodded and said, "Naturally, it has a relationship." Because our old man is gone, our family also received such a piece of tortoiseshell. ”

Hou Dayong almost jumped up when he heard my words, and said loudly: "What? Your old man Hu is gone? ”

I didn't speak, just nodded.

Hou Dayong said: "Then what now? ”

I pondered for a moment and said, "I think we're going to have to find one of the two." ”

Hou Dayong asked, "Who?" ”

I said word by word: "Chengdong Luo is blind! ”

Luo is blind, although he is called blind, but this guy is not blind at all, not only is he not blind, but he doesn't know how many times stronger than a normal person in his eyes, no matter what he looks at, he can tell the origin and year of this price.

Originally, he was the manager of our Hu family branch, but then he became addicted to gambling, as the so-called ten gambles and nine cheats, half a year's work, he lost all his belongings, in desperation, he started the idea of one yuan Zhai, and secretly played the tanuki for the prince.

But the good times didn't last long, and within a month's work, he was discovered by our old man, who broke one of his legs according to the rules and drove him out of Yiyuanzhai.

After leaving Yiyuan Zhai, Luo Blind relied on the skills left by his ancestors to do fortune-telling business, with his three-inch tongue, don't say, the business is not bad, although it is not a lot of money, but it is also not worrying about eating and drinking.

Luo Blind is not difficult to find, to find this guy is nothing more than three places, the place with the most girls, the best place with the second wine, and the most crowded place in front of the Sanyonghe Palace.

When Hou Dayong and I found him, this guy was touching the little hands of two young girls in front of the gate of Lama Temple with relish, and was reading palmistry to others to calculate marriage.

This guy is dressed as a Taoist priest, with his hair in a bun, three strands of green hair under his chin, sunglasses, a gray cloth robe, and a peachwood demon sword on his back. There was a flag standing beside him, which read: One mouth, speak the whole world; The Tao is unpredictable.

It looks like a fairy wind bone.

This Luo blind man is about forty years old, he is old and slippery, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw me and Hou Da courageous walking towards him menacingly, and he didn't care about taking advantage of those two girls, so he rolled up his bed and ran away.

But this guy's legs and feet are as fast as the two of us, seeing that he was about to run, Hou Dayong rushed over with an arrow, grabbed his collar, and said loudly with a smile: "Luo Daoye, Master Luo, you are really accurate, the hexagram you calculated for me last time told me that there is a catastrophe coming, let me leave home for five days to avoid disaster, otherwise it will affect my family." It's really accurate, but fortunately, with your guidance, I escaped the catastrophe! This time, I am here to thank you for a lot of money! You say you can just go! ”

Hou Dayong spoke in a loud voice, and for a while many people around him were attracted by his words, and the two young girls who asked about marriage just now would have been suspicious, but now there was a look of admiration in their eyes.

Seeing that Hou Dayong didn't plan to dismantle his platform, he instantly changed back to the appearance of a master of the fairy wind bones, stroked his sleeves, and said lightly: "This little friend, you don't have to be polite." Although the old man has a chance to help you get out of trouble, in fact, it is caused by the fate of the two of us, as for the so-called gift money, it is not necessary, it is not necessary! ”

Hou Dayong said in an extremely exaggerated tone: "How can that be? Master, I really want to thank you! ”

Before Hou Dayong's words were finished, a very innocent and lovely girl on the side came over and said, "Master, master, please help me take a good look, okay?" ”

The girl got very close, and the two towering little steamed buns on her chest inadvertently rubbed on the arm of the blind man, which made the old boy can't help but be excited.

After saying that, the girl also handed her little hand to the blind man, and pleaded: "Master, please help me take a good look!" ”

The coquettish tone, the charming fragrance that emanated, provoked the blind man Luo couldn't help but shudder, but the old boy also knew each other, gritted his teeth and shook his head and said: "This female layman, you and I have run out of fate today, if there is a fate, we will meet in the future." Of course, if the female layman really wants the old man to touch your bones and show you, it doesn't matter, come on, you add me a QQ, leave a contact information, and we'll see you another day. Today, the old man ......"

I really couldn't stand this old boy's cheap appearance, so I didn't wait for him to finish his words, so I pulled him away.

Both of our cars were parked not far from the neighborhood. After getting in the car, the three of us went straight to a Northeast restaurant called Golden Hand Spoon near the Lama Temple.

When I entered the restaurant, I found a private room and asked for five specialties and six bottles of wine, because Hou Dayong and I had eaten, so I didn't move the chopsticks much, and went straight to the point.

Hou Dayong took out the tortoise shell piece, put it in front of Luo Blind, and asked in a deep voice, "Old Luo, do you know this?" ”

Luo Blind thought that the two of us were looking for him to settle the debts that we owed before, but when we saw that we had no malicious intentions, and invited us to dinner and wine, we didn't worry. So, I threw off my cheeks and ate this meal, and in less than five minutes, a plate of pot-wrapped meat all went into the old boy's belly.

Hearing Hou Dayong's question, Luo Blind drank all the beer in front of him, smashed the taste twice, and then took the tortoiseshell piece and looked back and forth, and said leisurely: "Isn't this ghost money?" ”

"Ghost money?" Hou Dayong and I asked in unison.

I asked, "What is ghost money?" ”

Blind Luo gave himself a bowl of sauerkraut pork ribs, drank two sips of hot food, and enjoyed the aftertaste for a while, and then said slowly: "As the saying goes, ghost money, ghost money, since it is called ghost money, of course it is not for people." ”

I asked, "Not for people?" Who is that for? ”

Luo Blind said: "I said Xiao Hu Ye, it's not for people, of course it's for ghosts." And in this forty-nine city, the ghost money that can be used, don't I need to remind you, right? ”

I looked at Luo Blind and asked, "You mean the ghost market?" ”

The blind man Luo gnawed on a large piece of sauce bone, and said leisurely: "Money can make ghosts grind, and the ferry woman on the Styx Road; Don't ask if you were born in this world, and you only want more gold, silver and jade. ”

The blind man Luo finished gnawing the bones in his hand, drank two glasses of wine in a row, and said slowly: "It is said that this ghost money Hades Palace only distributes three coins to the outside world every year, and it is difficult to find a thousand dollars. With this ghost money, I can cross the River Styx and enter the ghost market, and as for what is in the ghost market, it is not for ordinary people like me to know. ”
