Lianhai City, Niushan Island.

On a summer evening, the afterglow of the setting sun shines obliquely on the western slope of Niushan Island.

Two middle-aged men, one fat and one thin, hid behind a large rock, whispering.

Fat man: "I heard the old man Wang who was the gatekeeper of the breeding station say that there is a treasure hidden in the well in the backyard of the breeding station. ”

The thin man nodded frequently, "I also heard that Old Man Wang was just hired to guard the small courtyard of the breeding station two days ago, and usually in that yard, except for Old Man Wang, he is a gatekeeper of the dog, and the breeding station is not busy this season, and those breeding experts and people who work are not there." ”

Fat man: "I went to look outside the yard yesterday, and the earth dog is very fierce and difficult to deal with." ”

Thin man: "I have a way to deal with dogs, you just need to drag Old Man Wang." ”

Fat man: "Okay, I'll drag Old Man Wang, you go into the backyard to get something, after the matter is done, the old rule is that the thing is sold for money, and we will be half of each other." ”

The fat man and the thin man discussed it and started to act.

There is a breeding station on Niushan Island, and the breeding station is built on the western slope.

There is a small courtyard in the breeding station, there is no one in the yard, there is usually only one gatekeeper Wang old man and a soil dog, this fat and thin two men are residents of Niushan Island, usually have nothing to do, steal chickens and dogs all day long, by chance, listen to the old man Wang who guards the door said that there is a treasure in the well in the backyard, so he started the idea of something in the small yard.

In the evening, the fat man pretended to have just finished eating and went out for a stroll, carrying two bottles of Erguotou and a bag of spicy peanuts in his hand, chatting with the old man Wang who was the keeper of the breeding station.

The thin man took the opportunity to climb over the wall and enter the backyard.

The dirt dog in the backyard was about to bark when he saw someone climbing over the wall to enter, and the thin man hurriedly threw the prepared meat buns out.

The two meat buns emitted a fragrance, and the earth dog no longer paid attention to the intruder, but directly began to eat the buns on the ground.

A large amount of pesticides were put in the stuffing of the buns in advance, and the earth dog finished eating the meat buns on the ground, stretched out his tongue and licked his mouth, still unsatisfied, and leaned in front of the thin man and wagged his tail.

The thin man stared at the earth dog and thought: Sure enough, he is a beast, and he has forgotten his responsibilities when he has a meat bag.

"1, 2, 3......" The thin man counted silently in his heart, and when he counted to nine, the earth dog standing in front of the thin man wagging his tail, his four legs did not obey the call, and he fell to the ground with a bang, foaming at the mouth, and died.

There were no earth dogs in the way, and the thin man felt into the well in the middle of the backyard.

It is a round well, and the well is covered with stone slabs.

The thin man tiptoed away the stone slab on the well, revealing a round wellmouth with a diameter of more than one meter.

The thin man peered into the bottom of the well.

It was getting late, only the afterglow of the setting sun shrouded the sky over the small courtyard, and I couldn't see how deep the well was, I only felt that there was a black hole inside.

The thin man took out the flashlight he had prepared in advance, turned it on and shone it at the bottom of the well.

It is a dry well, not deep, only three or four meters, and there is a bamboo basket hanging in the well with a rope.

The basket hangs in mid-air, and inside the basket is a square box.

The thin man was overjoyed in his heart, and thought: This is the treasure that Old Man Wang said, it must be very valuable if it is hidden so secretly.

The thin man grabbed the rope and moved the bamboo basket out of the well and placed it on the ground next to the well.

The box inside the basket was made of metal, square, and locked with a large lock.

The thin man picked up the iron box and weighed it in his hand, it was very heavy.

The big lock was so strong that it couldn't be opened for a while, and the thin man decided to move the whole box away.

Putting the box into his clothes, the thin man re-threaded the bamboo basket to the well with a rope, and re-covered the stone slab at the mouth of the well, pretending that nothing had happened.

The thin man took the metal box and quietly returned to Niushan Village.

It was completely dark, and after the fat man finished chatting with Old Man Wang, he felt that the thin man had succeeded, so he left the breeding station and came to the thin man's house.

The thin man's home is one of the most humble stone houses in Niushan Village.

The thin man who is nearly 40 years old is an old bachelor, without a wife, children and parents, and usually lives alone, because he usually steals chickens and dogs, and has a bad reputation, so he does not interact with the people in the village much. Fat men usually come and go the most, because the two often steal chickens and dogs together, fat men have many ways to sell stolen goods, and thin men are responsible for stealing.

When the fat man walked to the door of the thin man's house, he heard the sound of ping-pong in the house.

The fat man didn't knock on the door, he pushed open the half-hidden door, and when he entered the house, he found that the thin man was smashing the big lock on the outside of the metal box with a hammer.

The fat man stopped the thin man, "Don't knock, if you knock again, the whole village will be woken up by you." ”

The fat man took out half of the wire and said while tinkering with the keyhole: "Thin man, if I didn't say you, you would use brute force, use your brain, okay, is this unlocking using brute force?" ”

The thin man shrugged off the fat man's complaints, and his eyes were only fixed on the fat man's unlocking hand.

There was a "click" and the lock was opened.

The thin man was surprised, and immediately grabbed the front of the fat man and opened the box.

There is also a round jar inside the metal box, and the thin man takes out the round jar.

The round jar is very heavy, with a lid on it, and there is no lock, so it is easy for the thin man to open the round jar.

Inside the round jar were two small balls, one large and one small.

The thin man took out the two small balls, put them in his hand and checked them, the small balls were very heavy, silver-gray, like metal.

The thin man muttered: "It looks like a glass ball played by a child, but the ball that a child plays with is made of glass, and these two seem to be made of iron, can they be worth money?" ”

The fat man stretched out his hand, "I'll take a look." ”

The thin man put the two small balls in the fat man's hand.

The fat man put it in his hand and checked it, it was heavier than the usual iron ball, but he couldn't tell what material it was made of.

The fat man pinched the two balls with his fingers again, looked under the lamp, and saw nothing unusual.

Although the fat man is younger than the thin man, he has more knowledge than the thin man, and the thin man can't see the origin and value of these two small balls when he sees the fat man, and can't help complaining: "I won't work in vain." ”

The fat man put one of the smaller ones in his mouth and bit it.

It's hard!

It's not gold or silver, but it looks like metal.

The fat man was unwilling, "Impossible, since the old man Wang of the breeding station said that this is a baby, it must be a baby, but the two of us don't know each other." ”

The fat man and the thin man stared at the two small balls for a long time, but they didn't find anything special.

Later, the fat man had an idea, and remembered that he had seen an introduction to jade on TV before, and there was a kind of night pearl that could shine in the dark.

The fat man hurriedly instructed the thin man, "Turn off the lights quickly!" ”

The thin man turned off the light, and the dark room was immediately filled with a faint blue light.

The source of the blue light is none other than the two small balls placed on the table.

"Pearl of the Night!"

"Sapphire!"

The two balls, one large and one small, emit a faint blue light, with the smaller balls emitting a strong blue light, while the larger balls emit slightly weaker blue light.
