Volume 2 Southern Xinjiang Different Mounds Chapter 24 Emeralds
I saw that between the roots of the two teeth of the posterior molars of the skull, there was a little green in the sunlight. When I looked closely, I saw a green stone the size of a soybean in the middle.
"This is ......" I gently pulled out the green stone with a tool for the villagers to recognize.
Uncle Xu is a person who knows the goods, and he said in one sentence: "This is an emerald!" ”
As soon as I heard that it was an emerald, my eyes widened immediately: "Emerald ......"
"It's a pity that it's too small, and it's ......" Uncle Xu took the gem and looked at it and gave it back to me, "Look at it, there are still some impurities on it, what is it worth......" He shook his head, it seemed that it was not worth a few dollars.
Uncle Xu's shaking shook his head made me and Tanzi's hearts go down again. The jar suddenly thought of something, raised his head and asked, "There are emeralds here, so if we continue to dig up, will there be more treasures?" ”
"What's the treasure there? This gem is actually the stuff of Ma Dabeard back then. At this time, an old man in the village came out and said.
"Second Brother Wang, what's going on? Tell me about it! Uncle Zhang asked the old man for advice.
"There are actually many versions of the legend of the troupe, although they are all the same, but the origin of this gem lies in this small difference." The old man stood beside Uncle Xu and said, "At that time, Ma Dabeard's finger was bitten off by the class owner's brother-in-law. So, Ma Dabeard asked people to cut open the belly of the brother-in-law......"
"Second Uncle Wang, we all know this!" Zhang Dongwei said.
"But the version I've heard is that what Ma Dabeard is looking for is not his finger at all, but a ring on his finger? You think, the kind of conditions at that time, even if you get your fingers back, you can't catch it. Second Uncle Wang said.
"Rings? What ring? Zhang Dongwei asked.
"It is said to be a gold ring in the shape of a skull, and the skeleton has a green gem in its mouth. Although the ring was later found, the emerald on it was lost. No matter how much they looked for the bearded horse, they didn't find it. In the end, Ma Dabeard became angry and removed all the bones of his brother-in-law's body. Second Uncle Wang said, "I think it should be this stone, right?" ”
"I see." When I raised my head to look at Second Uncle Wang, I happened to see Uncle Xu standing next to me with a different look on his face, and his expression seemed to be a little complicated.
"Now that this gem has been found, who among you wants it?" I spread my hand out, and there was the soybean-sized emerald in my palm.
Everyone also heard what Uncle Xu said just now, and knew that this gem was not valuable, although some people wanted to stand up, but when they thought of the tragic death of Zhang Donghai's evil and palace master, they immediately shrank back.
I deliberately glanced at Uncle Xu, and saw that he looked moved again, but I didn't say that he wanted it.
At this time, Zhang Dongwei's uncle Zhang Boting said: "Xiao Pei, since this thing was found, it should belong to you; Besides, this thing is a bit evil, even if it is given to us, we dare not ask for it. After all, life is more important! ”
"If that's the case, then I'm disrespectful!" I smiled and put the emerald up.
Two days later, the Zhang family first buried the fourteen coffins of the troupe, and then put the coffins of Zhang Yingping and the old man Zhang into the new grave. During this period, the Zhang family was terrified, always afraid of any more accidents. Luckily, everything went according to plan, it went smoothly and nothing happened.
When Tanzi and I were about to leave the village and go home, Zhang Dongwei sent us to the entrance of the village. He said he was going to stay at home for a while, help with the aftermath, and then he wouldn't go back with us. As for the bronze incense burner, he will definitely try his best to get it for us, and he will never charge anything.
Just as I was saying goodbye to Zhang Dongwei and Tanzi, a Lexus 570 stopped beside us.
The window rolled down, revealing Uncle Xu's face inside: "Let's go, get in the car, let's go all the way, I'll carry you two." ”
Tanzi and I were reluctant to walk, so we fell asleep and caught up with a pillow and got into the car immediately.
"What's next for you two?" In the car, Uncle Xu and I chatted.
"Nothing to do. There's nothing to do but go home and stay! I replied casually.
"Oh? Are you interested in going to Shanghai with me? Uncle Xu asked.
The altar and I were immediately happy, but soon our faces drooped again. I smiled bitterly and said, "Uncle Xu, I and Tanzi came out this time, and we didn't bring much money with us......
"Hahaha, you kid!" Uncle Xu slapped me, "You go to your uncle's place to play, and your uncle can still let you spend money?" Rest assured, eating, living, and playing are all wrapped up in your uncle. ”
Hearing that Uncle Xu had a big deal, the altar and I were overjoyed, and someone invited guests to eat, drink and play, this kind of good thing is not happening every day. Immediately the altar and I agreed. As for Uncle Xu's expression when he saw the emerald that day, I have long forgotten about it......
When we arrived in Shanghai, Uncle Xu did not lose his word, not only arranged for me and Tanzi to live in a five-star hotel, but also sent someone to lead us to play around for several days. As for eating, needless to say, it's all some food that I've seen on TV before, but haven't seen in reality, let alone eaten.
I played with Tanzi in and around Shanghai for a week, and it was very hilarious. On this day, Tanzi and I were thinking about going to Wuxi to have fun, but before we could have breakfast, Uncle Xu sent a young man named Xiao Gao to pick us up at the hotel, saying that he had something to tell me.
Tanzi's impression of Uncle Xu is really good, and he said to me when he had nothing to do in the past two days: "Your uncle is really interesting, if I have such an uncle, how can I still stay in the small county town at home?" I've been here for a long time in the cosmopolitan city of Shanghai. "Every time he says it, I laugh it off. No, when he sat in the luxury car sent by Uncle Xu to pick us up today, he said it to me again, and then he pouted and continued: "Why don't you call a poor ghost?" All your life is the life of poverty, guarding such a good resource and not using it, you are really an elm head! ”
"I only met him when I died." I said with a wry smile.
Tanzi was stunned for a moment and asked, "What is his relationship with your family?" ”
"I don't know, I just know that he and my dad are friends!"
As I was talking to the altar, the car had already arrived at the place. When we got out of the car, we found that it seemed to be a community, not like Uncle Xu's company. Later, when I asked, I learned that although it was Monday, Uncle Xu did not go to the company, but waited for us at home.
