"Since my grandfather's generation, the family has been a locksmith......"

Yan Liang told the story:

"My grandfather passed on the craft to my father, and by the time I can remember, the family was already a large-scale lockpicking company, so I was exposed to all kinds of locks since I was a child, and I slowly became proficient in all kinds of lockpicking skills."

Speaking of this, Yan Liang looked at me with a proud look on his face:

"Brother Zhijie, it's not that I brag to you, at that time, there was no lock on the market that could not be opened in my hands, at that time, I was only sixteen years old."

"No wonder Brother Yan's lockpicking skills are so powerful."

Zang Zhijie couldn't help but sigh.

Yan Liangyi smiled and waved his hand, and then said:

"Later, a variety of more sophisticated fingerprint locks began to appear on the market, much more complex than the traditional fingerprint locks, which almost all rely on a chip, as for the lock cylinder, it is completely controlled by the chip, and the lock body has reached an unprecedented degree of sealing, any external force or ingenuity is difficult to crack, and then it is the popularization of pupil recognition locks, so let me tell you, it used to be only seen in movies, or the locks that will be used by specific units, it is from then that time that it was completely popularized."

From the look on Yan Liang's face, Zang Zhijie could feel his helplessness at that time, indeed, since Zang Zhijie remembers, the science and technology of the past 20 years have advanced by leaps and bounds, and many craftsmen of the older generation can't imagine that the craftsmanship of eating for a lifetime has become worthless.

"In addition to buying and selling new locks in the company, there are no channels to make money, at most I remember that there are six or seven salesmen running around the business to sell locks, and then, the lock manufacturers for the safety of their own products, all the agency rights are taken back, no longer sold through distributors. In less than five years, the lock company in the hands of my father, stunned back to a small lock repair shop, we can only rely on some customers who still use old-fashioned locks to maintain the family's expenses, relying on the lock shop is the old house left by my grandfather, no burden of rent, barely maintained. Because the business is very cold, my father rarely comes to the store, and usually goes out to drive an online car-hailing to make some money, and I watch the shop every day. ”

Speaking of this, as soon as Yan Liang sat up, without waiting for Zang Zhijie to pick up, the helplessness on his face disappeared by itself, replaced by a trace of excitement, and he continued:

"One day, two people, an old man and a young man, came to the store, dressed well, and as soon as I saw that the business was over, I hurriedly stepped forward to meet them. The big guy pulled out a delicate wooden box from his bag, and as soon as I looked at it, I knew it wasn't something modern at all. On one side of the wooden box is a solid gold lock, and the deadbolt is three plugs locked in the middle, oh yes, just like the Mercedes-Benz logo, just like that. ”

Saying that, Yan Liang kept comparing shapes with his hand, and seeing Zang Zhijie constantly nodding his head to show understanding, he continued to speak:

"The keyhole is cylindrical, without any special-shaped grooves, just a straight cylinder, which can be said to be ingenious, the old man looks like a big boss, he asked me, can this be opened? I didn't dare to say yes directly, I just asked them to come into the house and sit down and talk, and I will try first. ”

"You're open?"

Yan Liang spoke with comparisons, and he spoke very vividly, and Zang Zhijie was also fascinated by it, and asked curiously.

"Well, it took almost an hour, I opened the lock, just the middle of the lock with a diameter of no more than four millimeters of circular key slot, the inner wall of the slot, there are a full eighteen small holes, I bent more than 20 thin steel wires, one by one with the press repeated attempts, speaking of which there are tens of thousands of combinations that may appear in that matching mode."

The more Yan Liang spoke, the more excited he became, and Zang Zhijie was completely brought into his memories.

"I was also lucky, it took more than an hour to open it. After opening it, I opened the box casually, just opened a crack, the boss hurriedly held the lid of the box with his hand, and said, "The craftsmanship is good, hard brother" and put the box into the bag, and the big man behind took out 10,000 yuan and slapped it on my hand, and the two of them turned around and left. ”

Hearing this, Zang Zhijie's focus shifted to the contents of the box, and he was so anxious that he didn't dare to interrupt.

"When the boss left, he also said that if there is such a thing in the future, he will come to trouble me, send them out and I will return to the store, I looked at the 10,000 yuan, this hour, I have caught up with the income of my small store for more than three months."

Yan Liangyi licked his lips that were a little dry, and then said:

"After that, I sat in the store every day and waited for them, and in the following year or so, they came twice again, and each time they came with a strange lock for me to open, and each time they left me 10,000 yuan after opening. In fact, I was very curious every time to ask them where they got this strange lock, but they were all choked, and the things in the lock were never shown to me, and at that time I estimated that either the thing could not see the light, or there was some ulterior secret, in case they ran away again, the ten thousand could not be earned. ”

Zang Zhijie hurriedly picked up the electric kettle, filled it with water and boiled it, Yan Liang hurriedly signaled himself to come when he saw this, and the story stopped, Zang Zhijie hurriedly sat on the edge of the bed again and motioned for him to continue.

"It wasn't until later, almost sixteen or seventeen years ago, it should have been August, it was very hot, they came again, this time they didn't bring a lock, they came into the store and saw me and sat down directly, the boss said to me: 'Little brother, this time there is a lock, you have to follow me to open it, do you think it's convenient?' When I heard it, I thought it was strange, it was definitely not that simple, but I was really short of money, so I quickly told him, 'Yes, yes, but the salary must be higher.' When the young man heard this, he smiled and said, 'One hundred thousand.' 'I was stupid at the time, why do you need 100,000 yuan to open the lock?' ”

Yan Liangyi shouldn't have told anyone about these things, and he was immersed in memories excitedly.

"Guess what's wrong with him?"

Yan Liang squinted at Zang Zhijie and sold Guanzi.

Zang Zhijie looked at him stunned and shook his head, where to guess this......

"The big guy took out a big envelope from his bag, I took it and opened it, 80,000 yuan in cash! The boss said that the remaining 20,000 yuan would be paid immediately after unlocking. At that time, I put those strange things behind me, whether it was dangerous or not, whether it was a crime, these things were forgotten, after all, although my father was not very old at that time, but the cervical spine has not been good, I am also very distressed to drive that online car-hailing car every day, but the business in the store is not good, I have no other skills except for unlocking, I thought that if I can make more money, the old man does not have to be so tired every day. ”

The water was boiling, Zang Zhijie scalded the cup, poured two glasses of water, and did not forget to turn his head to look at Yan Liangyi from time to time when pouring the water, for fear that the story would be interrupted again.

"At that time, I was also twenty-five or sixteen, and I didn't have to spend money to find a daughter-in-law, and I didn't hesitate to see such a sum of money, and I agreed directly, and they told me to come to the store to pick me up the next morning, and I was excited that night and didn't sleep, and I didn't dare to tell my father about it, and I lied directly, saying that I had to help if a friend got married tomorrow, in fact, the reason for lying at that time was very simple, that is, I was afraid that my father would think something was wrong and refused to let me go, in fact, I knew it in my heart at that time, This must be a side street, otherwise I wouldn't have been given so much money. ”

Zang Zhijie took two glasses of water and put them on the bedside table, Yan Liangyi reached out and helped the cup to express his gratitude, and then continued:

"They picked me up, and the car drove for more than six hours, and then drove into the wasteland of the big suburbs, but stopped in the middle, ate some bread or something in the car, and dealt with it, and when I arrived at the place, I instantly understood that these people were doing soil work."

"Brother Yan, let me interrupt, what is doing soil work?"

Hearing this, Zang Zhijie looked confused and had to interrupt the inquiry.

"Look at me, I forgot that you are a layman, and the official point of Tuhuo is that you rob the tomb."

Yan Liangyi explained to Zang Zhijie with a smile.

Grave?!

Zang Zhijie instantly remembered Cao Hua, who was skillfully holding the sapper shovel, and couldn't help asking:

"The big guy who gave you money is Cao Hua, right?"

Yan Liangyi narrowed his eyes again and smiled:

"Haha, yes, I can't hide it from you when it's all here, you listen to me tell you carefully."

Zang Zhijie hurriedly nodded, realizing that he was a little anxious, since he could talk about tomb robbing, he was sure that he would also tell himself this, so he simply stopped talking and listened quietly.

"When I was young, I also liked to watch some TV and novels about tomb robbing, and I really went to the place with them, and watched them work, I knew that tomb robbery was not the same as what was played on TV, but the Luoyang shovel was really used, and then it was the explosives that I concocted. First take the Luoyang shovel to dig a hole, the diameter is ten centimeters and eight centimeters, as long as the tomb soil is dug out, the location of the tomb is confirmed, and then directly under the explosives, because the soil is relatively soft, the soil is squeezed around by the impact of the explosion, and the hole is naturally widened. ”

Yan Liangyi touched the water cup as he spoke, obviously a little thirsty, but the words did not stop.

As for whether the impact of explosives will damage the cultural relics in the ancient tomb, no one will pay attention to it at all, it is nothing more than one and a half pieces of burial goods. Of course, when I went with them, the hole had already been done, and they had already gone down, and the big young man, oh yes, it was Cao Hua, he specialized in mixing explosives to steal holes, and it was also a craft handed down by the older generation in the family, but at that time he was much younger than now. ”

Speaking of this, Yan Liang picked up the cup, blew it, took two sips, then put down the cup, pulled his hair, and looked at this posture, the story behind it is still very long.
