Chapter 534: Old Lady
Next.
Zhang Yi is also easy to say.
The middle-aged woman finally agreed.
After getting in the car.
The middle-aged woman looked very cramped.
The little girl is very naΓ―ve and not afraid of Zhang Yi at all.
always asked Zhang Yi some strange questions, and even, asked Zhang Yi, has he ever fought a monster?
This question made Zhang Yi cry and laugh.
The car swayed around for a while.
The little girl fell asleep.
Zhang Yi asked the middle-aged woman.
The origin of that painting.
She thought for a moment before answering.
"This painting, it is indeed handed down by my ancestors, I don't know how it came about, and my grandfather knows the origin of the painting at home."
"By the way, we have two other paintings like this in our house."
These words immediately aroused Uncle Chen's interest.
He asked.
"Eldest sister, can't you get those two paintings?"
She hesitated, and she shook her head slightly.
"The grandfather of the family may not let it out, this painting was actually stolen by me behind his back. He can't see it with his eyes now, and if he really knew about it, he would probably be angry......"
If this painting can only be sold for a few thousand yuan, in order to cure the eyes of the grandfather, he can only quietly steal the other two paintings and sell them.
Right now.
One painting was enough, and she didn't intend to make her grandfather angry.
In fact.
If they weren't going to Jinshan Village now, Zhang Yi and Uncle Chen would probably go to this middle-aged woman's village.
Ask the old lady of his family, the origin of "Eighteen Arhats".
The inscription has Liu Kongzhao, and it is estimated that it must be related to Liu Kongzhao.
Early the next morning.
Zhang Yi and Uncle Chen sorted out their things.
First go and send the middle-aged woman and little girl to the county bus station.
Uncle Chen drove.
Along the way, Zhang Yi was playing with the little girl.
Afterwards.
In the passenger terminal.
Zhang Yi saw that Jinshan Village seemed to be too remote, but there was a special ticket window sign.
There is an information point next to it.
Zhang Yi went over.
I asked the staff over there, how far is it to Jinshan Village?
The ticket seller said.
He didn't know the specifics, but it was about eighty or ninety kilometers.
It is eighty or ninety kilometers away from the county seat, and this Jinshan Village is really remote enough.
Estimate.
Zhang Yi and Uncle Chen were driving, and the road conditions were not familiar, so they might not be able to drive in half a day.
But.
Liu Kongzhao hid there in order to live in seclusion.
It's normal to be remote.
Zhang Yi inquired about Jinshan Village, but he happened to be heard by the aunt.
She was a little curious, so she asked.
"Boss Zhang, you just asked, how far is it to our village?"
"It's not your village, I'm asking about Jinshan Village......"
That's where I asked.
Zhang Yi suddenly realized something.
"Auntie, do you mean that your home is in Jinshan Village?"
Zhang Yi immediately asked.
The middle-aged woman nodded immediately.
"Yes, my village is Jinshan Village!"
Middle-aged women were heard confirming the matter.
Zhang Yi couldn't help but be surprised, he hadn't thought about this aspect at all before. In fact, if you think about it carefully, it is not difficult to guess that middle-aged women have calligraphy and paintings related to Liu Kongzhao in their hands.
It's just that.
Zhang Yi didn't expect that this incident would be so coincidental.
Unexpectedly, I happened to be in the antique city of the county seat, and bumped into people from Jinshan Village.
"Auntie, since you are from Jinshan Village, then you don't need to buy a ticket, we just happened to go to your village!"
Zhang Yi said immediately.
The middle-aged woman was stunned for a moment, she was puzzled.
"Boss Zhang, are you going to our village, do you have relatives over there?"
Under normal circumstances, when strangers come to the village, most of them are relatives, and of course, they are also specially used to do business. However, there is nothing in Jinshan Village, the people are very poor, and there is no business to do.
That's why she asked.
Zhang Yi smiled, he waved his hand and said.
"That's right! I heard that there are a lot of old antiques in your Jinshan Village, and Uncle Chen and I are just thinking that if we go to your village to do business, we will accept all the old antiques or something. β
As soon as she heard this, the middle-aged woman was a little excited.
She said.
"Boss Zhang, what you said is not wrong, there are not many other things in our village, there are people who have done business before, and they have gone to our village to collect antiques. There are indeed a lot of old things in our village. Not to mention anything else, even the houses in our village are all from the Qing Dynasty! β
Sure enough, as Zhang Yi and Uncle Chen guessed.
Jinshan Village has long been trodden through the shoveling of land.
It is estimated that it is very difficult to receive good things.
The painting in the hands of this aunt, if it weren't for her grandfather, it is estimated that it would have been sold long ago.
Of course.
Zhang Yi and Uncle Chen went to Jinshan Village, and collecting antiques was secondary.
The most important thing is to investigate Liu Kongzhao's matter.
So.
Zhang Yi also said directly.
"That's it! No need to buy a ticket, let's drive back to the village together, just right, you can help us show the way! β
"Okay, the road in my village, if you don't know the road, it's really not easy to walk!"
The woman said, naturally very happy.
With money, she does the bus, and she also feels insecure.
And then.
She went out of the station again with Zhang Yi.
When you get to the car.
Uncle Chen was puzzled.
"Didn't you get to the village bus?"
"Uncle Chen, I didn't expect that the eldest aunt happened to be from Jinshan Village!"
"What a coincidence!"
"yes!"
Subsequently.
drove out of the county seat and went all the way south.
Of the more than 90 kilometers of roads, only 40 kilometers are good roads, and the rest of the road, although it is also an asphalt road, has many curves, unfamiliar road conditions, and the speed cannot be improved.
So.
By the time I arrived at the village, it was already noon.
This village, compared to the Shimoji village I went to before, is not very remote. At least, there is still a provincial road near the village.
And.
There is also a concrete road that is just large enough for a car to pass through the village.
Next to the village, there is a village cultural square.
The car couldn't be parked elsewhere, so Zhang Yi and Uncle Chen parked the car in the village cultural square.
There is also a kiosk nearby.
This village is not as backward as imagined.
The people in the commissary were very familiar with the aunt, and when they passed by, they greeted them and asked Zhang Yi if they were relatives of Ah Qin's family?
The eldest aunt replied directly.
It's a relative of their family who came to the village to do some business.
Whoever wants to have an old antique or something, you can go to his house to show the two relatives, and if you like it, you will make a bid.
The commissary is full of people from time to time.
So, the news will soon spread in the village.
Of course.
The eldest aunt said that Zhang Yi was a relative of her family, and it was also to let the villagers let down their guard.
After all, there are many scammers who go to the countryside to engage in antiques.
Some villagers have suffered.
The villagers didn't understand and bought silver ingots from antique scammers, but later, the knowledgeable antique dealers saw that they were not ancient silver ingots at all, but made of aluminum or lead.
In Jinshan Village, most of them are old houses.
There are also several bungalows in the houses near the Cultural Square.
