Chapter 5: Gray San'er
To be honest, the hurried side with Lu Fengqin did not bring any substantial changes to my life. The store is still open, and when you are bored, you go out to walk the big dog. More than two years have passed like a white horse, and many things are no longer so haunting in their hearts, and everyone has to run forward non-stop to live.
On this day, near evening, I said I was hanging out, but I really found something interesting.
At first glance, I thought it was an old man and an old lady playing cards or chess, but when I got closer, it was really not. Chinese people have a problem, when they see a lot of people, they gather to make a scene, and I am no exception. Squeezed in and looked at it, only to find that it was a bunch of people huddled in front of a TV watching a movie......
Hey, that's really a novelty. In the early years, when TV was not popular, everyone carried Xiao Mazha to the house of someone with a TV to watch TV series such as "Journey to the West", "Fengshen Bang", "Fence Woman and Dog", and now this TV can watch movies through a black box, and now it is a big-screen movie that I used to watch at the head.
Every time the loudspeaker in the neighborhood informs the neighborhood which night the movie will be shown, a large number of people rush to watch it with their own small benches. The film is usually shown only in the summer, with two wooden sticks on a large white cloth and the person flipping the projector at the end of the crowd. The crowd was in a commotion, either eating melon seeds or chatting, and the sound of the movie was loud through the loudspeakers.
At this time, what I saw was such a new thing, a large group of people who usually walked, played swords, and practiced qigong gathered at the door of that house to watch the movie, and no one felt cold.
I squatted on a stone by the river a little farther away and watched an entire episode of Jet Li's "Shaolin Temple" in '82, and I didn't get enough of it until it was dark and the owner of the TV was driving people away. Before leaving, I learned that the owner had opened a video parlor and showed movies every day to attract guests.
After a brief tidying up and tying the big dog to the backyard, I walked back to my new house, planning to buy such a movie machine the next day.
Originally, I didn't have much of a hobby, but I've loved it since I saw it. The next day, I ran to the Science and Technology Building early to ask, and only then did I know that the thing was still a domestic brand, called Wanyan brand VD machine, which was not in stock in our small city. After a little closer inquiry, I realized that I would have to wait another month to buy this thing.
As soon as I heard that there was a play, I repeatedly told my boss to settle the matter. Originally, this BB machine was also bought from him, and the boss was very polite to me, and promised to do so.
When I returned to the store, I thought that I would have another day of leisure, but I didn't think that in the afternoon, the fat man called me, asked me if I was in the store, and said that a customer had introduced us to a deal.
I couldn't tell you about it on the phone, and I just waited to see someone to find out. About half an hour later, I waited for someone to come.
The leader was oily-haired and powdery, about forty years old, with triangular eyes, a small nose, and a big mouth.
Every six months, the fat man will spend a day to describe to me in detail the information of the customers who have contacted and received our goods in the past six months and what they have bought and sold, and will remind me again every time I meet a customer. It is also because of this good habit that we agreed on, and I have a preliminary impression of most of these people.
Naturally, if the things received are less than 100, there is no need to make more records, and they are all arranged by me to ask the fat man to give them directly as a gift.
I stood up, greeted each other with a smile, and greeted, "Brother Wang Dongguang, right?" Fat people often mention you, where have you made your fortune recently? ”
Wang Dongguang stretched out his hand to hold it with me, and sighed: "Without your brother, you have a deep financial future, and I have just got a construction company to contract the business of building and decorating houses." It's just a small package foreman. ”
I complimented, "Oh, oh, it's promising, it's promising." I went to Beijing last year, and the real estate industry is vibrant, so it must be a good project. ”
"Where, we have to start slowly in this small city." Li Dongguang pulled a person behind him and introduced him, "This is one of our workers there, his name is Wang Santong, and we all call him Gray San'er." He said he had found something from somewhere, and wanted you to show it. ”
I reached out to the man, nicknamed Gray San'er, who took two steps back in a restrained manner, his eyes darkly panicked and suspicious.
Li Dongguang opened his mouth and said: "Some time ago, his mother in the gray San'er family was seriously ill. He knew that I liked antiques, so he brought me some wooden planks from home and fooled me, saying that I would pay for them. I didn't know what I was going to do, but I listened to what he said, and I brought people to you. Consider what you can receive from him, and it is a good deed to do good deeds. ”
I scolded in my heart that this is really not a thing, and you will give it to me if you have this "cheapness"? I scolded in my heart that I couldn't bring it to my face, so I asked, "This big brother, if you have anything, take it out for me to see." Don't worry, we're doing business here clearly, whether it's valuable or not, I'll have to see it. ”
At this time, Gray San'er stepped forward reluctantly, took out a cloth bag from his arms, and unfolded the cloth in his hand little by little, and finally saw the wooden planks that Li Dongguang said. It is said that it is a wooden board, but this thing is actually a bamboo board.
I was slightly shocked in my heart and beckoned, "You guys come and sit down first." Letting the two of them into their seats, I took out a pair of thin gloves and put them on, before I went to see what was in Gray San'er's hand again.
If I'm not wrong, the thing in Gray San'er's hand must be Jianmu, but I don't know if it's ancient or if the place where it was unearthed is wet and heavy, and the handwriting on it has basically disappeared.
I took and put away the slender pieces of bamboo one by one, and I had to shake my head and say, "It's a good thing, but it's gone." ”
Seeing that I was also no longer interested in the things in his hand, Ash San'er stood up on the ground: "Boss, this is what I bought with my life, you must buy it......"
I laughed "poof": "What? Forced to buy and sell? ”
Ash San'er hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Boss, even if this thing is not valuable...... I know what is valuable, and I can take you there. ”
I waved my hand and said to Li Dongguang: "Forget it, you haven't lost your eyes, this thing is worthless." When there is a good deal, let's say hello again. "I have the meaning of sending off guests, which is not in vain to delay my efforts.
"Okay, then that's the case first, trouble, brother." Li Dongguang was also easy-going, and shouted that Gray San'er was going to go out.
At this time, Gray San'er suddenly shouted to me: "There is a Taoist temple underground...... There are also nine dragons, nine flying stone dragons......"
If Gray San'er didn't talk about Shi Long, maybe I wouldn't keep him. But since there is still some credibility in his words, I think it would be better to ask them more carefully.
"Brother Gray San'er, you come back...... I changed my mind. ”
"Boss, can I take you there...... As long as you can give me money to save my mother. Gray San'er suddenly knelt on the ground and kowtowed like pounding garlic, and I was stunned for a while.
Li Dongguangfu turned back and said to me: "Don't take what he said seriously. I sent someone to go with him once,, what those things. ”
I smiled at Li Dongguang, picked up Gray San'er and said, "What are you talking about Shilong and Taoism?" ”
I was interested in Gray San'er's words, and Li Dongguang immediately took out the big brother and made a phone call, and then said goodbye to me, hurriedly throwing off a burden.
At this time, the story of Gray San'er had just begun, and I called him aside to sit down before continuing to listen.
As soon as I spoke, I realized that this gray San'er lived under the top of the ancestor in Hejia Town, which was the place where Wang Yi claimed to have obtained the fragments of He's Bi and the bronze mirror of worship.
It all started a year ago.
Gray San'er is a mountain man, since the age of thirteen or fourteen, he has been learning carpentry under a craftsman, and in recent years, he has been eating under Li Dongguang. It was in late spring last year that he returned home to visit relatives and found that his elderly mother had taken in four outsiders.
When Gray San'er asked his mother, he found out that these four people had lived in his house for half a month, and gave Gray San'er's mother 600 yuan to rent a partial house for a month, and he didn't see him much on weekdays.
Gray San'er was also twenty-six or seventeen years old, and he became curious about these four people a few days after returning home. After returning home from Ash San'er, the eldest of the four people often talked to him, and repeatedly asked Zu Laoding if there were any natural caves or big holes and other places.
There is a legend in Zu Laoding, saying that during the Qing Dynasty, there was a Han general who went out from Taihang Mountain and won the battle and was rewarded by the emperor as the commander of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty. Until the Han general was disarmed and returned to the field, he was buried by the emperor and rewarded with countless gold, silver and jewelry.
I heard this interjection: "Is there an underground river under the top of the ancestor Lao?" Everything I used to collect in my town came from the reservoir. ”
Gray San'er said: "After you listen to me, those things are those four people who don't know how many immoral things they have done, and God retribution, so they rushed out along the groundwater." ”
The eldest of the four tomb robbers asks Gray San'er for news, while the other three do some hidden things while inquiring about the news in the surrounding area.
Gray San'er was also blinded by the boss's conversation at that time, this boss knows feng shui, knows face-to-face, and can tell fortunes, talks extraordinary, eloquence is good, and a few random words point through all the disasters and small disasters and happy events in the first half of Ash San'er's life.
Originally, Gray San'er just went home to visit relatives and couldn't stay for a few days, but the boss gave Gray San'er a sum of money and persuaded him to help lead the way.
If Gray San'er had an extra eye at that time, he would not have regarded this group of tomb robbers as good people, and naturally he would not have seen those underground secrets that were beyond his imagination.
