Chapter 27: Jade is alive
"You don't have any excuses, you have time to go to Jiangsu to climb the mountains, so you don't have time to come and see Lao Tzu?" Lao Huang's temper is coming.
I have a sad face, if I don't go, with Lao Huang's character, I will definitely come to my house to carry me, but I am really not in the mood now.
"Lao Huang, isn't there more mountains at home than Taixing? How can I go to climb the mountain, I'll tell you the truth, my father went. ”
Lao Huang paused obviously, and his voice became serious: "What, is it because of your family's curse?" ”
"Yes, I went to Jiangsu for this, this matter is getting more and more complicated, I can't tell you now, I will definitely go to see you when it is resolved."
"If you can't tell, just come and say, you don't treat me as a brother if you haven't seen me for a few years? Said okay, you have to come, come now, add me on WeChat! ”
Lao Huang hung up the phone with a "snap", and the phone immediately sent a WeChat friend application, the avatar was himself, wearing the clothes of an unknown ethnic minority, colorful and green, looking particularly sassy.
I clicked yes, and then there was a transfer reminder, a full 5,000 yuan, and a string of voices.
"The ticket money can be given to you, if you don't come, my brother won't have to do it in the future, when will you get on the plane and let me know, I'll go to pick you up!"
I reluctantly put away my phone, and the words were all about this, I really couldn't say anything if I didn't go, and I couldn't delay a few days when I went to see him.
Lao Huang is my hair small, two years older than me, grew up with a bare ass since childhood, we have always been iron buddies, but later when I was just in high school, their family moved to the south to do business, and there was no contact, I haven't seen him for six or seven years, I didn't expect him to see me on TV, it's fate.
Lao Huang is not surnamed Huang, his big name is Zhang Xiaodong, Lao Huang's nickname was taken when he was in the third grade of primary school, at that time, when he wrote an essay about my teacher, other classmates compared the teacher to a gardener's candle, only him, wrote a sentence that the teacher is like a hard-working old scalper, and since then this nickname has been set.
Because we are both in the same class in elementary and junior high school, this nickname has always followed him, and I haven't seen him for so many years, my first reaction is to call him Lao Huang.
It seems that he has mixed well over the years, and those who can open an inn in Lijiang are not ordinary characters.
Sure enough, people are more angry than people, look at Lao Huang, and then look at yourself, I really don't have the face to see him, with Lao Huang's character, I am sorry for not laughing at me for many years.
But I still want to go, it's enough for me to have someone to talk to, no matter what he says.
I got on the black train to Nanjing at the station, a tattered little bread, which was stuffed with nine people, and all kinds of sweat and foot odor in the car made me subconsciously slow down my breathing, and all the dressing I had just made was in vain.
Fortunately, the price was cheap, and I didn't even want to complain, and I was surprised by the changes brought about by this trip to the tomb.
I made it to my last flight to Lijiang, and by the time I got off the plane, it was pitch black outside, and it was almost half past ten.
I turned on my phone and saw that there were more than a dozen missed calls on it, all of them were from Lao Huang, and after so many years, his temper has not changed at all.
When I walked to the exit of the station, I saw Lao Huang at a glance, and I saw this thing holding a huge sign with my name printed on it, looking left and right in the crowd.
His face was almost the same as in his memory, only taller and stronger, and his former immature face was engraved with the edges and corners of the years.
My nose was sore, I didn't expect to see this brother again in this life.
He also saw me at a glance, and as soon as he threw the sign, he ran up and gave me a bear hug.
His body was warm, and I felt my tears fall again, only to see that his eyes were red as well.
"Look at you, why are you still as thin as a weak chicken? Haha, did you watch it on TV? Dark circles and grass nest heads, haha......"
The joy in my heart was gone, and the thing was still the same as before, and the dog could not spit out ivory from its mouth.
"Let's go! It's still a brother, don't be sad, brother, please rub it! ”
Lao Huang put his hand on my shoulder, and I was almost pushed forward by him, only to see him take out the key and press it, and a large Land Rover turned on.
This kind of domineering side leakage model is really what he likes, he opened the passenger door and stuffed me in, and sat in the driver's seat by himself, looking particularly bad.
"Lao Huang, you've been mixing well over the years."
Lao Huang started the car: "It's normal, the inn is not just for fun, but you, what kind of moth is you." ”
Lao Huang already knew about my family's blood curse, so I didn't hide it, so I told all the recent events, and before I finished speaking, I had already entered the ancient city, and we changed to a barbecue stall to continue.
Lao Huang originally looked relaxed, but the more I said, the more solemn his expression became, and in the end, he didn't, just drank one by one.
"Did you bring that piece of jade? Show me, I'm half an expert at jade now, maybe I can help. Lao Huang seems to be very interested in this piece of jade.
I took out the jade without thinking about it, but I was a little suspicious of the connoisseur: "When will you also look at jade?" ”
Lao Huang raised his hand to take it and lowered his voice: "You don't know this, the inn can only make a few dollars, here is by Myanmar, I have a few middlemen, if there are any good goods, show me first." ”
Myanmar jade, Yunnan ethnic minorities are many and mixed, there must be some shady transactions, I just didn't expect Lao Huang to be mixed in it.
Lao Huang held the jade in front of his eyes, looked at the light again and again, his brows gradually furrowed, and then took out a small flashlight from his pocket and shone it at the jade back and forth, left and right.
He looks like that, but I just want to laugh inexplicably.
"Lao Huang, don't look at it, the jade itself is nothing, the main thing is the spell engraved on it, can you understand it?"
"Who said jade itself is nothing?" Lao Huang's face was not good-looking, "I think this jade is very strange, I have seen not a thousand but eight hundred jade over the years, and I have never seen it anywhere in the world, but I can't see the origin of you." ”
"The origin is too mysterious, jade is a small vein, there are some in the world, how can you see the origin?"
"I don't know the details, but I can roughly see it, your piece of jade looks like no one has ever worn it, and it is definitely not bloodstained inside, if it is originally in the jade, such a special color, I have no reason not to know."
I feel depressed in my heart, Lao Huang is the same as I think, although I am not as professional as him, but I can also see that something is wrong, and now I feel even more uncomfortable when he says it.
"Okay, don't think about it, Yu let me go first, I know a lot of experts, help you send them a look, maybe there will be clues, you stay with me for a few days, look at you like that, how many days have you not slept well?"
"Don't!"
When I saw him pick up his mobile phone, I wanted to take a picture, so I quickly blocked the camera: "Don't send it, you also know how evil this thing is, it has already involved so many people, if someone really knows how to see something, maybe our lives will not be guaranteed." ”
"Haha, it's hard to save your life, I think you are persecution delusion," Lao Huang laughed, "It's best to grab it, I'm afraid they won't come, I have people here, come and catch one by one, there are always people who can pry their mouths." ”
If someone like Xiao Qi comes, can Lao Huang really resist it?
I smiled bitterly in my heart, but thinking that there are no clues now, it is really better to learn from Jiang Taigong fishing, don't care about good news and bad news, it is better to have news than nothing, and now there is no way out, this is a way.
As soon as I thought about it, my hand retracted, and Lao Huang slapped it from all angles, and casually stuffed the jade into his pocket.
It seems that my wish to go home as soon as possible will not come true, and Lao Huang will definitely wait for everyone to contact me before letting me go.
The two of us were full of food and drink, and drove towards Lao Huang's inn, only to see people of various ethnic minorities coming and going all the way, their clothes and ornaments were gorgeous and cumbersome, and they were colorful, but unfortunately except for the Miao people, I couldn't tell anything else.
Lao Huang's inn is called Leisurely House, which is incompatible with his usual style, I want to laugh but hold back, and I only see a tall and thin young man coming up when I enter the door.
"Boss, are you back?"
Lao Huang nodded and patted me on the shoulder: "I'm small, Zhao Changze, this is Lu Ming, just call him Ah Ming." ”
Ah Ming is a master who is very good at looking at eyes, and hurriedly nodded at me: "Boss Zhao, you sit, I'll make tea." ”
I was very uncomfortable with this "boss" call, and quickly waved my hand: "No need, no need, I'm too tired today and want to go to bed quickly." ”
"Let's go, let's go," Lao Huang waved his hand to let Ah Ming go down, and then turned his head to look at me, "Daze, this is your home now, don't look like you're cowering, just look for them if you want." ”
I don't want to act like a coward, but for some reason I just don't feel as comfortable as before, Lao Huang probably thinks I'm really tired, so he didn't say much, and took me upstairs to settle down.
I wiped myself and changed my dressing, and threw myself on the soft bed, feeling that my back didn't hurt so much.
Lao Huang's inn is very big, the first floor is a restaurant, the second floor is a guest room, he is doing well, I am happy for him in my heart, but I can't help but feel sad for myself.
I lay in bed thinking wildly, and before I knew it, I fell asleep, and this sleep was unexpectedly stable, as if I had a backer behind me.
"Daze, hurry up and open the door, open the door!"
I woke up suddenly, only to see that it was pitch black all around, and when I took out my phone, I saw that it was almost two o'clock in the morning.
Lao Huang is still banging on the door and calling me, my heart is tight, has he really found an insider?
I hurriedly ran to open the door, Lao Huang held the jade in his hand, rushed in and slammed the door shut, looking like he was facing a great enemy.
"Daze, you piece of jade, live!"
Something was going to bang in my head, and I only suspected that I had misheard: "What? ”
