Chapter 5: Clues

In the evening, it wasn't until Liang Zi's rough knock on the door that I was awakened from my sleep.

Subsequently, I simply prepared a few drinks and dishes at home to entertain Liang Zi.

It may be that the experience of moving the grave was more unexpected, we sat at the dining table and drank silently, and in addition to the wine and food, there was also the red turtle shell.

In order to break this dull atmosphere, I raised my wine glass to make a toast and said, "Liangzi, thanks to you this time, I will make a toast for our Zhao family and you." ”

After speaking, I didn't care whether Liang Zi drank it or not, so I drank all the wine from my own glass.

Liang Zi looked at the wine glass in his hand in a daze, didn't drink it, opened his mouth and said slowly: "When did you kid become such a mother-in-law, by the way, you brag to me every day that you don't know anything, so you tell me the origin of this turtle shell?" ”

Since the glass of wine I just made was more than two taels, I suddenly felt a little fluttery.

I lit a cigarette and handed it to Liang Zi, and then lit one myself, and said leisurely: "That's right, brother knows everything about the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, but this thing is obviously from the Yin Shang period, so it's normal for me to not know, but it's not a matter if I want to understand this thing, tomorrow I will rub down these strange words on the turtle shell, and ask those dealers in the same industry to know." ”

"I'm afraid that if you ask some professors who study oracle bone inscriptions, they won't come to a conclusion," Liang Zi raised his head and drank the glass of wine that he had been holding in his hand and continued: "Do you kid know that oracle bone inscriptions are still one of the undecipherable scripts in the world, and the news that the so-called oracle bone inscriptions have been deciphered is just to expand propaganda, just to decipher some simple words such as heaven, earth, people, and mouth. ”

After listening to Liang Zi's words, I was even more dizzy when I was drinking.

At this time, I felt that I was a disgraced antique dealer, and I didn't know as much as the layman in front of me.

Immediately, I couldn't help but think of the scene where Liang Zi used a fire fold to illuminate it.

I suddenly woke up halfway from drinking, and suddenly felt that the kid in front of me was much stranger, so I quickly sorted out the words in my mind, and was about to ask Liang Zi about the fire fold.

At this time, I looked back and realized that Liang Zi was staring at me, as if he had seen through my thoughts.

As I was about to open my mouth, Liang Zi made a gesture to keep me from speaking, and then took the flask and filled our glasses, then took the glass and motioned for me to have another drink.

If I drink normally, I will definitely not toast with Liang Zi, because I know how much I drink, even if I drink with him, I am not an opponent, but the meaning of drinking this time is different, it is to thank Liang Zi for helping me move the grave.

So I held my breath, threw my head up, and poured the wine from my glass into my stomach.

Suddenly my stomach was churning and I was going to vomit.

Liang Zi saw me drinking, so he handed me the water glass on the side, and then patted my back and said, "Zhao An, let me tell you something, I once saw the same red cloth as in your grandfather's coffin!" ”

"Poof-" I squirted out a sip of water and wine.

Then he woke up from the wine, wiped the remnants of his mouth and nose with his sleeve, grabbed Liang Zi's arm and asked, "Where did you see it?" ”

"Don't worry, let me tell you slowly." Liang Zi pressed me to a chair and sat down, and he began to talk to me while drinking alone.

It turned out that Liang Zi had seen that kind of red cloth at his uncle's house. Speaking of Liang Zi's uncle, who was also my father's best friend and my great benefactor, he was one of the more famous people in our local antique business, and everyone called him Biaozi because of his size. When I was unemployed and at home after graduating from school, Liang Zi took me to his uncle and begged for a long time before he agreed to introduce me to a master who led me into the industry and took great care of me. But because people like Biaozi are engaged in the big antique business, running around all day long, and rarely show up in the antique market, while I am just a small trader to support my family, so I don't have a lot of contact.

To get back to the point, Liang Zi said that one day, he went to Uncle Biaozi's house to eat, and after entering the house, he found that Biaozi was throwing treasure to a few friends, which was actually a personal transaction similar to an auction, a lot of strange things were placed on the table, and the red cloth was among them, among which there was a white-haired old man with glasses who was a little excited to take the cloth and look at it for a long time, and then bought it at a price of 800,000 yuan. Due to the great contrast between the price and the value of the item, Liang Zi said that he remembered it very well at the time, and he was still laughing in his heart that the old man was stupid and had a lot of money. After the treasure was over, the people dispersed, and Liang Zi praised the batch of buyers that his uncle was looking for was really "good buyers", so much money to buy a piece of cloth, talented!

Biao Zi smiled after hearing this, told Liang Zi that this business was very deep, and persuaded him not to set foot in it.

Liang Zi heard that there was an overtone in this, so he relied on Uncle Biao Zi to tell him the mystery, and then Biao Zi was also entangled by this favorite nephew and had no choice, so he said slowly: "Dumping treasures is not like setting up a stall, these buyers are not stupid, one is more shrewd than the other, and there are even official buyers, such as the white-haired old man, who is a professor of a certain academy." The most valuable thing on this table is actually the piece of cloth, which looks ordinary, but in fact it is very special, and I don't know what material it is made of, so strong that the cloth can't be torn apart by a knife, gun, water and fire. This cloth is something I touched personally, and I almost broke this old life for it! ”

Liang Zi's eyes widened when he heard this, if it weren't for the fact that Uncle Biao Zi said these words seriously, he would never believe it even if he was killed.

At this time, Liang Zi sat down next to Biaozi all of a sudden, grabbed Biaozi's arm, and said coquettishly: "Uncle, where did this thing come from?" ”

How could Biao Zi not know what this kid was thinking at this time, pointed to Liang Zi, smiled and began to mutter to Liang Zi.

But Liang Zi said that he listened very carefully at the time, and he could feel the expression on his face changing drastically......

After listening to Liang Zi's words, I couldn't hold back any longer, and asked eagerly, "Where is Uncle Biao?" Let's go find him. ”

Because when I came back from the relocation of the grave, the half-corpse and half-intact phenomenon of the ancestors and the mysterious turtle shell that was brought into the coffin shook in front of my eyes all the time, how could I calm down as a descendant.

"I haven't seen him for more than a few months, and not long ago, because a batch of national treasure-level cultural relics were found, Uncle Biao was involved, so he ran away." Liang Zi was still drinking and talking slowly.

When I heard this, I knew that my only hope had been ruthlessly destroyed by reality, and I slumped in my chair like a deflated ball.

The antique industry is like this, it can be called a seller or a criminal, it is a business that is close to the edge of life and death, and the bigger the business, the closer it is to the razor's edge.

I don't know when I will be detained as a big hat for reselling, which is the crime of eating guns, so there are many people who run away for this, some run away for a few years, and some run away for a lifetime.

Like a frosted eggplant, I drank tea alone with my head down.

At this time, Liang Zi, who was picking up vegetables, suddenly turned his head, made a toasting gesture, and then raised his head and drank another glass, and then took the empty wine glass and pursed his lips at me and smiled evilly: "It's okay, Uncle Biao told me where this thing came from!" ”

Hearing this, the water that had just entered my throat almost squirted out again, and I choked and coughed violently.

I wanted to speak, but I couldn't, so I could only hold Liang Zi's hand tightly.

Liang Zi patted the back of my hand with a smile, and then looked at me with a very confident gaze and said, "It's okay, your business is my business, buddy, I'll accompany you!" ”
