Chapter 14: The Jade Lock
"I see that you are all going to die......" Old Man Hu said here, wiped his sweat, laughed dryly, but did not follow.
A few old people from the same village around me had already walked away, and there were only me and Old Man Hu left at the table, so I couldn't help but ask curiously: "Then, what happened?" ”
"What else could happen? Tangjiazhuang is all dead, this was also ten years ago, I was lucky to get my life. ”
I was amazed: "Incredible...... Incredible......"
The master told me a long time ago that there are no ghosts in the yang world, and no ghosts in the yin world. If someone can see ghosts in the yang world, either this person's life is extremely bad, or this ghost is extremely angry, and it is the limit that ordinary evil ghosts can harm two or three living people, not to mention opening the realm to destroy the entire village, if this kind of evil ghost can run rampant in the world, then the yin ghost should really disband and get out.
Old man Hu drank the tea, looked at me a few more times, and said: "Little brother, you can sit down and listen to my story, you are also a person who does not believe in ghosts and gods and is not afraid of taboos, I have something here, it is an antique, you can see if you can accept it." ”
So he took out an oilcloth bag from the baggage, and after peeling it off, it revealed a palm-sized jade lock, light and thin, saying that it was an antique but different from the old I imagined, the whole lock body was revealing a shiny cyan, although I was a layman to look at the antique, but as soon as this jade lock was taken out, I suddenly felt that the surroundings were a lot cooler, and I felt comfortable, and it was not ordinary.
Seeing this good thing, I chuckled in my heart, and asked with a smile: "Master Hu, this jade lock should not have been dug out of the grave of 'grandmother'." ”
Old man Hu said that I don't believe in ghosts and gods, and I am not afraid of taboos, that is false, I know how much the life of the yin and yang eyes is against myself, if it wasn't for the protection of the master since I was a child, it is estimated that I would not be able to live now, there is a ban around Longhu Mountain, and ordinary little ghosts dare not approach at all, but this does not mean that I can provoke back unscrupulously.
Old man Hu pinched the porcelain bottle and shook his head, and sighed: "You don't want to accept me and don't force it, this thing is indeed from the tomb, at that time, the coffin and bones were unearthed after one after another, and the archaeological experts and villagers were all in a mess, no one could take care of anyone, many people took things inside, and I took it was just a small piece." ”
I asked Old Man Hu to invite the jade lock to the table, I turned my hand again, only to feel cold in my hand, thinking that this jade can't be covered by human body temperature alone, if it is summer, no air conditioning fan is needed.
I secretly sighed that this time I really met a treasure, I pinched the jade lock and looked at it a few times, I could only see that it was an old object in the Ming and Qing dynasties, no matter how much I couldn't see anything, Hou San occasionally taught me some ways to distinguish antique jade, basically the left ear in and out of the right ear, not to the heart at all.
However, in my opinion, this antiquity is at least "clean", and no matter how much resentment the owner of the tomb has, the destruction of Tangjiazhuang should also disappear, otherwise Old Man Hu will not live today with such a treasure anyway, so he changed his mind at the moment and only talked to him about business.
I put the jade lock back on the table and said, "The objects of the Ming and Qing dynasties are also well preserved." But my brother will tell you the truth, it is also risky for me to accept this thing, you stole it from the tomb, and you can't do it on the surface, and from the story you just told, I don't dare to accept it, little brother. ”
Even a fool should see that I have now shown the axe of doing business, no matter whether the weird stories that Old Man Hu said earlier are true or false, as long as the goods in his hand are true and there is no evil attached to it, I will follow the market procedures, and I can cut it as I want, or how to say that I am good and not business.
"That ......"
"Besides, this thing is not made by a famous craftsman, and it was stolen from the tomb, so it will definitely not work to put it in the house, and it is too bad to hang it on the body."
Old man Hu took a breath and asked, "Then boss, how much do you think this thing is worth?" ”
"In this way, I will tell you the truth, no matter whether the story you told before is true or not, but this bottle is a good thing, it is not easy for you to be old all these years, let's take a step back, eight hundred yuan, I left this jade lock."
“…… Eight hundred? ”
"If you want to be too little, I'll let you give you another two hundred, one thousand, this is a real price, if you are not happy, then you can only ask you to take it back."
"Yes, yes, yes." Old man Hu waved his hand again and again: "Although I also know that this thing has been around for years, it is estimated that it is also five hundred yuan." Besides, I don't want to lie to people now, but whenever I meet someone who wants to accept this bottle, I will tell you what happened back then, and those customers are not willing to accept it after hearing this. If you accept this item today, then I will let it go. ”
I ordered him a thousand dollars on the spot, wrapped it tightly, poured another glass of wine, and talked with the old man for a while before sending him away. I packed up the shop and closed early, and I was secretly happy in my heart, this time I really received a treasure.
