At four o'clock in the morning, I dragged my almost useless body to Beijing Railway Station, and the wind blew outside the station for two hours, and the uncle who sold pancakes and fruits had already earned 200 yuan, and the fat man drove a broken Santana to pick me up.

After all, I was in the capital, and I still had to be a legal citizen, so I didn't turn my face with the fat man because of these two hours in such a crowded place, but as soon as I got in the car, the tractor-like sound made me frown again.

"Not really, right? Pick a little skin from you, how can you get a Land Rover Mercedes. I sat in the co-pilot and joked, while rummaging in the car, this car is indeed a little old, but it is well cleaned up, it is a more cherished person who has worked hard to clean up.

"There is no one in the capital who knows your fat man and mine who doesn't know that your fat man is notoriously low-key, what do you know, sit tight." The fat man bragged, as if he thought I was a little disdainful, and turned on a button on the control panel that was added to the end.

I didn't expect that the fat man was wild outside, and it was so wild in this urban area, as soon as the button was turned on, the engine made a strange noise, and this bastard had already replaced the engine on the old Santana with a V8 one.

I don't know much about the capital, I don't know where to go, but I still have some impressions of the way to the travel agency, but the fat man's destination is definitely not there. I glanced out the window. Puzzled, he asked, "Where are we going?" Also, what the hell is going on with you? ”

The fat man snorted and said, "Don't ask, you'll understand everything when the meeting comes." "The fat man didn't explain much, and I almost felt the feeling of being pushed back by a fighter jet with one foot on the accelerator.

Half an hour later, the fat man went all the way to the door of Pan Jia'er. I wondered even more, of course I know what this place is for, could it be that the fat man wants to come and get something? I'm afraid it's hard to get it a month ago.

The fat man didn't explain as usual, he took me all the way in, he didn't look at the stalls on the ground, all the way around and around and finally arrived at the door of a store, this is not an antique shop, but a commissary, several antique shops next door are open, only the next one is called "Gao Laozhuang" shop is pulling the shutter door.

When the fat man saw me looking at the gatehouse of the store, he sighed and said, "That is the shop of the old man Zhuang, last time he almost died in the canyon, but fortunately he was found by the search and rescue people, and he picked up a life, and now he is still hospitalized in the United States." ”

"What about the others?" I know that the fat man is talking about the trip to Guanshan for half a year, Lao Zhuang is still alive, I am a little worried about other people, especially Sister Er, I wanted to ask about the situation, and the fat man waved his hand and pulled me into the commissary.

The shopkeeper hid behind a huge monitor, and I glanced at the screen, this kid didn't do a good job, and when he saw us coming in, he immediately switched the screen screen, and I said to myself that this is still a habitual offender.

The fat man knocked on the transparent glass cabinet at the front desk twice and said, "It's dawn, it's time to do business, how to go to the old counter." ”

After the fat man finished speaking, the man with dark eyes behind the counter stood up, and without saying a word, he led us straight to the deepest part of the small storefront. The dark circle pointed to a pale yellow wooden door, and without speaking, he sat back down.

Before I got to the door, I smelled a smell of the toilet, glanced at the dark circles that left, and then at the fat man, and I asked puzzledly: "You have been doing it for so long, it turns out that you just want to go to a public toilet?" ”

"Fuck you." The fat man was not polite, he scolded directly, he had opened the toilet door with one hand, and I followed the fat man in, only to find that I did not guess wrong, this is a toilet that uses the oblique space of the stairwell, the fat man closed the door, immediately turned on the flashlight on the mobile phone, and looked at the innermost part of the corner of the steps.

The fat man walked over, I thought it was a cabinet with a sundries mop, but I didn't expect the fat man to pull it over, and then pulled the cabinet open, and immediately I found that the cabinet was empty, not only empty, but also a passage to other places.

There was a slight light in the passage, and the fat man took the lead in getting in, this figure was a little difficult, and I followed it in, just two steps, and the top of my head returned to normal, and immediately this dark passage with a hole in the sky made me look clean at a glance.

Over the years, the official face has been strictly checked, this kind of industry has been seriously frustrated, in fact, most of the bright lines have gone underground, Panjiayuan is almost such a system, a few decades ago, there are not many real things on the surface, they are all introduced by acquaintances, a few stalls on the surface are just a disguise, people are coming, the incision is on the top, and the stall will be hastily closed, a look, both parties understand, the people who set up the stalls are silent, and the people who come to shop for goods will just sneak up and keep up, and when they get to the place, no one cares, no one checks, The real guys are all in the warehouse, and you can look at it however you want.

But such groups are gone, in recent years, and the official noodles are not eaten for rice, and for a period of time I found that the Taiping was a little abnormal, just touch it, at that time, as long as there was a business, someone would introduce it, and of course the introducer would earn the seller's introduction fee, so almost all the secret mouths were served overnight. Some people passing by that night said that dozens of police cars escorted hundreds of people away.

The place we are here now is a dark village, and it is estimated that the main thing is antiques. There is a reason for saying this, I think that when the Panjiayuan Liuli Factory was booming, the dark village did everything, no matter what it did, as long as it gave money. For example, lending and collecting debts, private detectives, and even seeking revenge for others, as long as you can think of it, there are basically them.

I don't believe it's good to hide, because when I came in, I had already found that there were at least seven or eight plainclothes and small grocery stores all over the yard, just such a big place, and people would only come out after half a day, and it would be strange if there were no ghosts. But to be able to open a dark village here, it is estimated that the relationship between the upper and lower levels has been basically opened, and those who are messing around don't need to care too much.

The house itself in this place has no planning, and it has been demolished several times, but the price offered by the other party still makes the developer return it. In addition, in order to preserve the regional culture, development has always been the surface layer. Inside, the courtyard is stacked on top of each other, and you may not be able to come out if you walk in the chaos.

Here are small courtyards enclosed by the back walls of several courtyards, no more than forty in size, with no windows or doors on all sides, and the top of the head is covered with blue plastic tiles, which can be seen through, but it is still very dark.

This is also a special setting, in which the Tao is relatively deep, and it will not be finished for a while, in short, there are not many clean people who open dark villages and do this business. The veteran does not dare to offend, lay eggs, and it is better to pit once or pit once.

When we entered the courtyard, we found that there were already a lot of people inside, and there were four or five rows of shelves in a small space, and the shelves were all bottles and cans, ancient calligraphy, calligraphy and paintings, and so on, and I even saw a bronze sword that looked very much like the sword of King Goujian of Yue.

The fat man didn't pay attention to these things, and when someone looked at us, I didn't care, and followed the fat man straight to the innermost. In the deepest corner, there was an office made of a board, and the fat man walked straight into it with me.

There was a person sitting inside, a bald head, with a tattoo on his arm, and his grandson was on the big boss's table, looking like a triad boss.

"Don't pretend to be a grandson here, Wang Bahuang has only been gone for a few days, and the girl is about to turn the sky upside down." The fat man cursed, and sat down on the chair opposite.

As soon as the tattooed man sitting inside saw the fat man come in, he immediately stood up with great difficulty, and without saying a word, he hurriedly handed us cigarettes: "Fat man, don't you come to say a word earlier, I don't have any preparations." ”

"Phew!" The fat man turned his head and spat on a mouthful of saliva and said, "Wang Bahuang didn't tell you when he left?" Hell with my damn letter, take it out quickly, I don't have time to amuse you. ”

The bald man smiled awkwardly: "Hey, don't you finish laughing, just kidding." Wait a minute. ”

The bald head said several times in a row, and then he got back behind his boss's desk, and the man lay in front of the table for a long time before he turned out a bag of things wrapped in golden silk.

He took out the thing and handed it to the fat man with both hands, and the fat man took a look at it and threw it at me: "Look at it, what is this, are you familiar with it." ”

What do I say in my heart, come up and take me to do this. But I didn't refuse, I took it with one hand, opened it with my hand, and I immediately saw a bag of things like diapers, these things I really know can not be more familiar, I have seen things no less than twice, or those that are divided into a lot of fast, need to be spliced to see the complete map of the city.

We found part of this thing on that ghost ship in the East China Sea, and then the fat man found part of it from the corpse of the old brother, and now there are so many here, after reading this, I probably already understand what the fat man means.

"You haven't been looking for these things all this time, have you?" I didn't look closely, but it's really a segment of those maps.

The fat man nodded and said, "I searched everywhere in the country, and found seven or eight batches, and this is the last batch, a total of one hundred and forty-four, but three of them have been cooked and eaten by people during the great famine decades ago, and as soon as these are obtained, the picture can be stitched together." ”

Although I didn't understand, but after all, I didn't ask why, I was a little lucky, this kind of thing didn't seem to be able to find something related to me, so I tried to stay away, I looked at the map in my hand a few times, and finally threw it directly to the fat man.

Seeing that we had been looking at these things for a long time, the bald head seemed to be a little anxious, and he touched his smooth head and said: "Boss Huang said before leaving, it is not easy to collect these things from the countryside, fat man, are you swiping a card or cash?" ”
