This is the end of May of the 17th year of the Republic of China, and Beijing is at the turn of spring and summer, and the locust trees in the city have bloomed. At this time, the weather is getting hotter, and it is most prone to epidemics, and the people have the most taboos. Don't paste the window, don't move, don't shave your head, don't dry the bed, all count on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival to avoid the evil, so that it can be rectified. Therefore, the common people call it evil May, and when it comes to this month, it will be a little moth.

This year, before the heat started, there was a strong wind. The wind opened its teeth and danced its claws with great momentum, carrying the sand and dust in the sky to cover the Tanzhe Temple, covering the Xiangshan, all the way to the city to pour madly, for several days without stopping. It was really dusty and hazy, and the whole city was like an old photo that had been put on for a long time, with gray sky, gray ground, gray city walls, and gray pedestrians, mules and horses walking on the streets, which made people's hearts gray.

Beijing blows sand and dust every year, but most of them are in spring. This year's style is extraordinarily evil, and it is actually picked in the evil May. People of the older generation say that this wind has a origin, and it is called "Huangsha Feng", which is dedicated to the emperor. In the year when Chongzhen Ye hanged himself, Beijing scraped once; In the year of Yuan Shikai's death, he also scraped once; Later, when Emperor Xuantong was kicked out of the Forbidden City by Feng Yuxiang, this wind came again. So this year, the emperor is in a bad wind, and he catches up with the evil five, and the old people in Beijing are muttering in their hearts, I'm afraid...... This is going to change the dynasty again, right?

Huang Kewu held a burden of royal blue leather in his hand, and staggered all the way west along the root of the Temple of Heaven. In such a windy day, it was against the wind, and Rao was seventeen or eighteen years old, and his sturdy body and bones had to be hunched over and his eyebrows lowered. If you run a little faster, your mouth will be full of sand, and your nose will choke on dust when you gasp. But things were in a hurry, Huang Kewu didn't care about complaining about the weather, he pulled the brim of his felt hat lower, and his feet didn't stop for a moment.

As soon as he crossed the Hufang Bridge, a strong wind suddenly rose, and the loess surface, which was finer than rouge powder, swirled and fluttered, and suddenly dispersed into a fog that covered the sky and the sun. Not to mention the eaves of the front gate tower in the distance and the signboard of the Dashilar nearby, it is the mule and horse bolted across the street, and it is not clear to see it after a few steps. Huang Kewu squinted his eyes and ran wildly, not beware of a figure suddenly emerging from the fog in front of him, he couldn't stop his steps, and hit the man with a "ouch". Huang Kewu had kung fu on his body, took a few steps back, and stood firm with a stake, but the other party fell to the ground. Huang Kewu hurriedly leaned over to help, and as soon as he was on the cat's waist, he couldn't help but secretly scream that it was not good - the one was wearing a blue-gray military uniform, with a dirty bandage on his head, and a rod Liao 13-style rifle in his hand, this is a Fengtian soldier!

Fengtian soldiers are the Northeast Army brought by Zhang Zuolin to the Guannei, and the military discipline is very poor, and the common people are called bearded soldiers in private. Since the war between the north and the south broke out again at the beginning of the 17th century, President Zhang Da's wars in Shandong and Henan have been rotten, and the Northern Expeditionary Army has gone all the way north, and more and more soldiers have been wounded in the city of Beijing. These wounded soldiers had nothing but a gun in their hands, so they formed groups of three or five, robbing people and smashing shops when they saw them, and the police didn't dare to take care of them.

Huang Kewu didn't want to make more trouble here, so he hurriedly said sorry, turned around and wanted to take advantage of the dust to slip away. Unexpectedly, the Fengtian soldier got up from the ground, pulled the bolt with a "bang", pointed the rifle in his hand at Huang Kewu, and shouted: "Damn! Do you want to leave after hitting Lao Tzu? Huang Kewu had to stand still. The Fengtian soldier limped over, and gave Huang Kewu a big slap first: "Little rabbit cub!" Are you letting the dog eat your eyes? Huang Kewu gritted his teeth and stared at the muzzle of the gun without saying a word. Fengtianbing squinted at the burden on his body, his eyes lit up, and his mouth shouted: "Lao Tzu suspects that you are a spy of the rebels, bring it over!" Check it out of the bag! "Reach out and pull it. This burden is very important, how could Huang Kewu let him touch it, his body turned, and he gently avoided it.

Fengtianbing was furious, scolded "I don't know how to lift", and when he raised his gun, he had to pull the trigger. Huang Kewu took half a step forward in a hurry, grabbed the barrel of his gun with his right hand and raised it upward, his left hand was as fast as lightning, and cut his neck with a knife. "Bang" A gunshot rang out, the bullet grazed the top of Huang Kewu's head and flew into the air, and Fengtian Bing fainted softly to the ground.

Huang Kewu touched his head, his face turned pale. If I had been half a step slower, I would have been inexplicably beaten to death on the street. The dignified imperial capital, the first good place, when has it been so chaotic? He was stunned for a few seconds, and suddenly remembered that he had something important to do, so he hurriedly threw away his rifle, tightened his burden again, and turned to burrow into the yellow sand. After a short time, a few shadowy pedestrians approached, and when they saw that Fengtian Bing was unconscious, they rushed up, stripped him of his clothes, and even carried his rifle away.

Huang Kewu got rid of the Fengtian soldiers and ran through the Xuanwu Gate in one go, and did not stop until he reached the gate of the Taiyuan Hall at the east end of the storage camp alley. The distance was not close, and he felt like a spoonful of boiling water had been poured into his lungs, so he had to stop a little, hold his hands on his knees and gasp for air. As soon as he looked up, he saw a white junior wearing round-framed glasses standing under the crooked old locust tree at the mouth of the alley, obviously waiting for a long time.

"Got it?" That Housheng asked.

Huang Kewu carefully held the blue wrapper and touched it lovingly: "There have been a lot of twists and turns along the way, and I almost didn't break it." ”

Huang Kewu was about to untie it, but Bai Jing Housheng threw a look at him and signaled silence. Huang Kewu looked around, only to find that there were many patrol officers standing near the Taiyuan Guild Hall, they were standing in the yellow dust in twos and threes, like ghosts in a midnight graveyard, unable to see the shape and appearance, but revealing dignified malice. "Walk slowly, don't run, don't look back." Bai Jing Housheng lowered his voice and said a few words, and then the two walked side by side to the alley.

After walking in for more than a dozen steps, Huang Kewu asked impatiently: "Liu Yiming, what happened?" The young man who was called by name held his glasses and spit out four words: "Great disaster is coming." Huang Kewu was so angry that he pushed him on the shoulder: "I ran half of Beijing City, and I almost got shot, can't you finish your words at once?" Who is going to deal with the five veins? ”

Liu Yiming knew that this guy was in a hurry, sighed, and spit out three more words: "Wu Yuwen." When Huang Kewu heard this name, he couldn't help but gasp: "King Wu Yan? ”

Liu Yiming nodded. Wu Yuwen is the chief of the investigation department of the Beijing Police Department and a vicious dog in Beijing by a warlord who is vicious and vicious, and often destroys people and destroys their homes, nicknamed King Wu Yan. Last year, the National Police Department hanged more than 20 communists in the Jingshi Detention Center in Xijiaomin Lane, and it is said that Li Dazhao, who was the leader, was Wu Yuwen's own hand; The year before last, Shao Piaoping, the editor-in-chief of the "Beijing Daily", was shot, which was also ordered by Wu Yuwen. I am afraid that there are more lives in his hands than the crows on the south side of Fuqian Street, and the common people do not tremble when they mention this name.

Huang Kewu slowed down and looked puzzled: "He arrests people, let's learn treasures from the five veins, and don't interfere with the river water with his well water, does he want to do it?" ”

Liu Yiming patted him on the shoulder: "You practice martial arts all day, and you should occasionally read the newspaper." The National Revolutionary Army has already reached Shandong, and Zhang Zuolin has not had a good life in Beijing for a few days, and it is rumored that he is going to run back to the northeast. Wu Yuwen is Zhang Zuolin's lackey, he has done so many evil things, and as soon as the master left, he also panicked. ”

"He's not trying to rob us of antiques before leaving, is he?"

"It's not about robbing, it's about selling." Liu Yiming bit this selling word, and his face was full of sarcasm.

Huang Kewu knew that this guy was a chronic man who said that he was hiding ten, and urged: "Don't sell Guanzi, talk quickly, how can you sell it?" ”

Liu Yiming raised his hand and pointed to the front of the alley: "He celebrated his birthday today, and invited dozens of famous businessmen in the capital to come to his birthday, saying that he had no intention of pursuing a career and was ready to return to his hometown." I have a few good antiques in my hand, and I am willing to endure the pain and give them to the people who are destined...... You get the idea? Well? He always likes to speak with a rhetorical question, like an old master teaching students.

Huang Kewu glared and shouted: "What kind of pain and love, isn't this just taking fake goods to make money!" Liu Yiming sneered: "Who said it was a fake?" King Wu invited our five veins to appraise and evaluate on the spot to show fairness. Huang Kewu stopped, his expression was shocked, and then he understood what Liu Yiming meant by "a catastrophe is coming".

The five veins are the Taishan Beidou in the antique world of the capital, and the five families of Xu, Liu, Huang, Shen and Yao gather into a "bright-eyed plum blossom", which is the eye of the entire antique industry, and the star of the treasure industry. King Wu Yan invited the five veins to identify, apparently planning to borrow the gold-lettered signboard of "Bright Eye Plum Blossom" to raise the price.

This is an extremely difficult dilemma for the five veins. King Wu Yama made it clear that he wanted to use fakes to deceive people, and if the five veins were told the truth, King Wu Yama would be destroyed as soon as he turned his face; But if the fake is said to be true with a clear conscience, and the cheap is raised to be expensive, the gold-lettered signboard of the five veins will be completely smashed, and who will dare to find it in the future?

There is a dead end on the left and right, and this is a desperate situation at all!

"That'...... Who will be sent to the family? Huang Kewu frowned.

Liu Yiming raised his arm mockingly: "Patriarch Shen, Uncle Yao, your second uncle, my third uncle, more than a dozen people have come, and the masters of the family have all arrived, and they are discussing who to send in the second house at this time." You push me, I push you, there is no charter for a long time, several families, and none of them are responsible! ”

When Liu Yiming said this, the disgust on his face was undisguised. The scene that came to Huang Kewu's mind was a group of monkeys locked in an iron cage, and as soon as the master master of the monkey brain came over with a kitchen knife, the monkeys pushed each other and desperately pushed their companions out.

He asked helplessly: "Hey, Da Liu, you have a lot of ideas, is there any way?" "Liu Yiming is very strategic in their generation, and he usually has a lot of ghost ideas, and Huang Kewu is the most trustworthy. Unexpectedly, Liu Yiming shook his head: "No one can save this situation." ”

Huang Kewu said indignantly: "Zhang Zuolin is going to be finished, I don't believe that he Wu Yan King dares to be so arrogant?" It's a big deal to fight with him! Liu Yiming poured cold water on him: "Even if Zhang Dashuai leaves tomorrow, King Wu Yan wants to clean us up, one night is enough." There are hundreds of policemen with guns under their hands, and Wumai is a group of scholars, what do you use to fight with others? Well? Huang Kewu was asked, stared at his eyes and choked for a long time, slammed his fist on the wall of the alley, and half of the Rendan advertisement and bricks fell down cracklingly.

"In the world of great controversy, the pen is not as good as the gun. The five veins have been inherited for thousands of years, and it may be today. Liu Yiming took off his glasses and wiped them with the corners of his clothes, and sighed old-fashionedly.

"Don't talk nonsense, it's unlucky!" Huang Kewu punched him, but his fist was a little weak. Liu Yiming smiled and didn't say much.

On both sides of this alley are Taiyuan Hall and Chengdu Hall, which are crowded with businessmen and students from all over the world on weekdays, but now the front of the eight Xuanchang doors is clean and clean, and there are almost no people, and they seem to smell something. The two walked through most of the alley and came to the door of a large mansion on the west side of the alley. This big mansion is not small, a hanging flower door, two piers of drum stones. The two pitch-black bronze ring gates were tightly closed, and two Fengtian soldiers stood on both sides, looking like a gloomy stone statue placed in front of the tomb. An indescribable evil aura floated over the house, and even the imperial wind could not disperse.

The police were all sent to the mouth of the alley, and the guards at the door were Fengtian soldiers, it seems that Wu Yuwen is determined to suppress people today.

The soldiers guarding the door had already received instructions, and today's birthday banquet for Captain Wu, the guests who came were not allowed to enter or leave. When they saw Liu and Huang arrive, they didn't stop them, but pushed the door and let them in. The two bypassed the wall and entered the courtyard, and Huang Kewu was stunned.

On this windy day, there are actually seven or eight jujube wood round tables in the courtyard. There was a pot of tea and a few plates of fruit scrawled on the table, and the wind covered the dust, and no one touched it. There were five or six people sitting at each table, all with sad faces, hanging down on their chairs and not speaking, like clay sculptures. There was no steward of the guests, no troupe singing, only a dozen or so soldiers stood at the door of the east and west compartments, wiping guns and smoking cigarettes, staring at them with bad intentions, like wild cats staring at mice.

Liu and Huang walked through the banquet, Huang Kewu looked left and right, and could recognize almost seventy or eighty percent of the guests, all of whom were well-known businessmen in the capital. These guys usually wear silk noodles, but today they specially changed into cloth shirts, and the caution is self-evident.

Originally, these big businessmen had political backers behind them, and Wu Yuwen usually didn't dare to provoke them. But now that the situation is in chaos, those high-ranking officials are still too busy to take care of themselves, how can they take care of these people. Wu Yuwen himself planned to run away, and he was not afraid of offending people, so he wanted to detain them and make a deal with a pen. Although Huang Kewu is straightforward, his brain is not stupid, and he quickly figured out the situation.

Suddenly, a man suddenly stood up from the banquet, and the spears of the Fengtian soldiers were raised with a clatter. The man was so frightened that he hurriedly raised his hands and explained: "I just have a word with him, a ...... to talk" and then pulled Liu Yiming's sleeve. Liu Yiming recognized him as Zhengdexiang's boss, and he was half an acquaintance, so he said politely: "Boss Wang, do you have something?" ”

Boss Wang was anxious: "You five veins, what are you going to do?" Liu Yiming said: "Isn't it still discussing inside." Boss Wang suddenly arched his hand and deliberately raised his voice, so that a group of guests around him could hear it: "The name of the bright-eyed plum blossom is well known to everyone in the capital." To keep the false and keep the true, to see the details, that is not ambiguous at all, with them, we can rest assured! When the surrounding clay sculptures heard this, they came to life and praised it.

Liu Yiming heard it, and these businessmen didn't dare to contradict Wu Yuwen, so they had to put pressure on the five pulses. He didn't say much, but just arched his hand around: "The five veins will definitely give you justice." Then dragged Huang Kewu and hurriedly walked inside.

After passing the moon gate, Huang Kewu said in a low voice: "You said that this Wu Yuwen, don't you just ask for money?" Why bother to play the banner of antique trading, don't you take off your pants and fart? Liu Yiming said: "If you ask for money directly, it is considered blackmail; Now it's a business, and the valuation is the five veins, he collects the money according to the price, and we are in front of the scolding - hehe, King Wu Yan can take the right amount of proportion. ”

"Da Liu, you can see it, but it's useless?" Huang Kewu complained.

"So don't keep urging me to say ...... in the future" Liu Yiming raised his head to look at the sky, and his tone was leisurely, "It's useless to talk more, huh?" ”

While talking, the two entered the small courtyard of the second entrance. There are no round tables in the courtyard, only a few benches. A dozen men in long robes sat or stood, some pacing the courtyard with their hands behind their backs. Huang Kewu glanced at it, the patriarch of the old dragon bell sat silently in the middle, silent, and a man in a long shirt in his forties next to him was expressionless, standing with his hands in his hands. The elders of the five veins were all around, and there were several young masters who had high hopes from the clan standing behind - the elites of the five veins were almost all here.

The knowledge that these people add together can make Wu Yuwen embarrassed out of a few streets. But people have guns in their hands, so they can only sit in this small courtyard and sit in the city of sorrow.

Liu Yiming walked a few steps, and suddenly let out a soft "Huh", as if he felt something unusual. Huang Kewu turned his head sideways and asked him what was wrong, Liu Yiming shook his head and didn't say anything.

When he went out to pick up Huang Kewu, these people were arguing, but now they are quiet for some reason. Although their expressions were still frowning, there was a subtle relief between their eyebrows. It's only been ten minutes since I left, what happened? Liu Yiming was suspicious.

Seeing Liu Yiming and Huang Kewu coming, everyone got out of the way. The two walked up to the patriarch Shen Mo, Huang Kewu untied the burden, bowed down and said, "Grandpa, the things have been delivered." Shen Mo leaned on crutches in both hands, and his lowered eyelids twitched slightly. The man next to him spoke, "Then send it inside, don't make people wait." ”

The person who spoke was called Yao Shenxing, his own family was proficient in porcelain, and he was also very proficient in other lines, this person was good at dancing with long sleeves, good at making friends, and was recognized as the next patriarch in the clan. It is normal for him to give orders on behalf of the patriarch.

Liu Yiming's eyes narrowed. Yao Shenxing's words sound interesting. Send it in? So, the candidate sent by the family to give Wu Yuwen the palm has already been decided?

Huang Kewu stood in place, but no one took the burden in his hand. Those elites inadvertently turned their faces away, pretending not to see them. Yao Shenxing said that he would send the burden inside, but he didn't make it clear who would send it. Liu Yiming sneered in his heart, these elders in the family have always been like this, they are afraid that they will be affected, and they don't even dare to send burdens. He pulled Huang Kewu's burden: "Old Huang, didn't you hear what the patriarch said?" Let's go. ”

"Yiming, come back, what are you going to do!" Liu Yiming's third uncle drank in the crowd. Huang Kewu's second uncle next to him squinted and said, "Your Liu Yiming is not going, why should we let our Kewu go?" Seeing that the two were about to fight, they paused silently and impatiently: "What a quarrel!" Yiming, Kewu, you go together. You are young, and you will not be embarrassed by others. ”

Liu Yiming shrugged his nose, he didn't want to be in the same courtyard with these people for a minute, and dragged Huang Kewu, and the two left the group of people with their own thoughts side by side, and came to the courtyard of Sanjin.

"Rhubarb, did you see that? This is the virtue of the five veins today. Liu Yiming whispered, a few drops of anger leaking out of his expression. Huang Kewu didn't know how to answer, so he could only sneer: "The elders have the plans of the elders, don't be angry." Liu Yiming raised his head: "Their calculations? Their calculations are like this weather, gray, black and oppressive, suffocating, and they can't escape...... Hey, forget it, don't talk about it. He raised his legs and walked straight into Sanjin, Huang Kewu was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly followed.

This house is one to entertain rich businessmen, two to entertain five veins, and then a small door is Wu Yuwen's inner house. The vermilion lacquer door was ajar, and two windproof red lanterns hung on both sides, like a gluttonous staring round eyes and opening their mouths, waiting to be devoured. Huang Kewu stared at the sky with his eyes, it was still dim and chaotic, and day and night were indistinguishable.

"Guess who's in there?" Huang Kewu asked suddenly.

"Whoever is in it, his life is completely finished. It's a pity that he has received it for the five veins, but only two young offspring see him off. Liu Yiming helped his glasses, half mocking and half sighing.

Although he is only the son of the younger generation in the family, he sees things very accurately. For the five veins, the only way to break the situation of this desperate household is to break the wrist of the strong man, assign a person to appraise the treasure, help Wu Coax raise the price, survive this catastrophe, and then open him out of the house and give an explanation to those rich merchants. With the reputation of one person, in exchange for the safety of the five veins - to put it mildly, it is to carry the black cauldron.

The quarrel before was because no one was willing to sacrifice. Now that this one with the black pot has finally been selected, everyone is naturally happy. But Liu Yiming counted just now, and the people in the yard were all there, and there were a lot of them, so who was the monkey who was pushed out of the cage in the end?

The two of them crossed the wooden threshold with their front feet, but before they could step on their back feet, they heard a long laugh coming from the room.

This laughter was as sad as a snake's head spitting out a letter, and both of them could hear that this was Wu Yuwen's signature laughter. There is a proverb in the capital: I would rather listen to the old owl than hear the king of Hades laugh. Wu Yuwen smiled, and he would see the disaster of blood and light. They glanced at each other, hurriedly lifted the curtain and entered the house, the first thing they saw was the banner man brick kang that occupied half of the room, repaired into the shape of a shelf bed, and on top of it was a short-legged wide-brimmed kang table with pear blossom wood, and a pair of chess pieces were placed on the table. Two people sat on either side of the chessboard.

The person on the left has collapsed eyebrows and pointed jaws, the shape of the skull protrudes from under the skin, and the Wenhu Medal issued by Zhang Zuolin himself hangs on his chest, which is the feared King Wu Yan. He sat cross-legged, his eyes fixed on the chessboard, playing with a silver pistol in his right hand, and his index finger flicked the trigger from time to time, filling the room with a faint murderous aura. The man on the right, on the other hand, was drinking tea, he put down the teacup, tilted his head slightly, and the dim electric light illuminated half of his cheek.

"Xu Yicheng?"

Huang Kewu's eyes widened and he blurted out. Liu Yiming, who was beside him, also showed surprise.

Xu Yicheng is the descendant of the Xu family in the five veins. The Xu family is known as the authentic five veins, but it has always been sparse, and there is only one Xu Yicheng left in this generation. This person is extremely talented, and Shen Mo originally cultivated him as the successor of the patriarch, but he acted deviantly and was quite criticized by the people of the Five Pulses. Later, I don't know what happened, he finally left home, and since then he has wandered outside the five veins, and has almost no contact. For Liu Yiming and Huang Kewu, Xu Yicheng Shenlong sees the beginning but does not see the end, and is more like a character who lives in "hearing and speaking".

Unexpectedly, the candidate who came to be the palm of King Wu Yan was actually him. Liu Yiming thought in his heart, there was no him in the courtyard just now, he must have just arrived ten minutes ago. I don't know if he was pushed out by that group of people, or if Mao Sui recommended himself - it doesn't matter, anyway, the ending is not bad, Liu Yiming thought sympathetically.

Xu Yicheng and Wu Yuwen didn't hear the sound, and the two only looked at the chessboard. Wu Yuwen pondered for a long time and took a step. Xu Yicheng smiled lightly, picked up a car, put it in front of the Nine Palaces, and said, "Will!" Captain Wu, if your handsome man doesn't run, it's too late. He had a crisp voice and a relaxed attitude, and he didn't seem to care too much about the outcome of the game.

Wu Yuwen glanced at him, feeling that this kid had something to say, but it was not easy to attack. He stared at the chessboard for a while, and for some reason, he was more and more annoyed by that sentence, and simply pushed the chessboard: "It's not going to be played, let's get along." ”

Xu Yicheng raised his head and glanced at the two of them: "You are here?" The two didn't know how to answer, Xu Yicheng said to Wu Yuwen: "These are the two little guys of the Huang family and the Liu family. ”

Wu Yuwen didn't even raise his eyes: "Did you bring the things?" Huang Kewu stepped forward and handed over the burden of Bao Lanpi'er. Xu Yicheng took it and put it on the kang, and untied it casually, revealing a roll of black cloth inside. He spread the black cloth and immediately shot out a golden sharp aura. Even King Wu Yan, who was like an old monk sitting still, couldn't help but raise his eyes to look over. This cloth is lined with a bright brown ripe cowhide, and the side of the cowhide is branded with a small seal of Sihe Ruyi clouds, and it is not the Sihe Ruyi cloud pattern on the ordinary brocade, and there is an extra round of sun in the middle, such as breaking through the clouds, which is quite eye-catching. There is a row of small and delicate tools pinned to the cowhide, with hooks and shovels, thorns and drills, dark steel, boxwood and cloud-edge handshakes, all of which are five inches long.

"What a weapon." King Wu Yan praised.

Xu Yicheng took down a small shovel from the black cloth, and played back and forth with his five fingers dexterously, which was dazzling: "This set of things is called the submarine needle, which was created by a famous craftsman during the Qianlong period, and it is extremely convenient to identify ancient artifacts. Wumai regards this set as a family heirloom, and it is easy not to show it. If it weren't for Captain Wu, you would have a big face, and Old Man Shen would still not want to borrow it. ”

"Now that the submarine needle has arrived, then please Mr. Xu, hurry up and give the palm eye and estimate the price."

At this time, Liu and Huang noticed that there was a cloth bag about the size of about 20 people's heads resting on the other end of the kang. The cloth is just ordinary blue muslin, wrapped tightly, and I don't know what is inside. This should be the "baby" that Wu Yuwen plans to sell. People who buy and sell antiques seriously are all holding objects in brocade boxes and wooden coffins, and only those thieves who are in a hurry to get rid of the thieves do not know how to cherish them, and they indiscriminately wrap their treasures in cloth and sell them.

Liu Yiming and Huang Kewu stood silently beside them, wanting to see what this legendary Xu Yicheng would do. Xu Yicheng is the only heir of the Xu family, in case of provoking King Wu Yan and being shot down, the five veins will be extinct. I don't know if it's because the old man is confused, or if he is being picked up by someone - there are a lot of people in the five veins who are not used to Xu Yicheng.

"Those people are still the best at fighting in the nest." Liu Yiming sneered in his heart.

Huang Kewu pushed him with some concern, expecting him to make some comments, but Liu Yiming raised his chin and signaled to wait and see.

Xu Yicheng didn't seem to be in a hurry, and nodded at the chessboard: "You really don't think about this endgame anymore?" Wu Yuwen said impatiently: "It's not early, don't let the outsiders wait." Xu Yicheng smiled slightly and flicked the chessboard: "It's okay, it's okay, which one do you want to see first?" Wu Yuwen flicked the muzzle of the gun and clicked on the stack of chess pieces at hand: "Let's take a look at this chess first." ”

Liu Yiming and Huang Kewu noticed this chess move. Under the light, the 32 chess pieces are yellow and clear, and the wooden lines on them are like clouds traveling through rivers and mountains, and the rivers, mountains, and clouds are clearly layered; The side is shallow carved with gold-filled banana leaf patterns, and there is a Fushou bat lying under the banana leaf. The words on the chess are divided into black and red letters, iron hooks and silver strokes, and they come from the handwriting of famous artists at a glance. The two of them are still inexperienced, and they really can't tell the difference for a while.

"This is the imperial golden silk nanmu chess of Wanli year, maybe it was played by Emperor Wanli himself, you have to estimate it carefully." Wu Yuwen added gloomily. He has a characteristic of looking at people, with his head bowed and his chest raised, his eyes raised, always with Sensen's ruthlessness, which is quite similar to Sima Yi's wolf Gu Ying's eyes in the commentary.

Xu Yicheng touched his sleeves. Before others could see the movement clearly, the chess pieces were already in their hands. He weighed it: "The golden silk nanmu cannot be used without royalty." The wood is compact, and the texture is gold-filled, which is indeed the bearing of the palace. Wu Yuwen's face softened slightly, but Xu Yicheng said again: "It makes sense to say that this thing is the imperial system of the Qing Palace; It is not appropriate to say that it is Wanli year. ”

Wu Yuwen's face became more and more gloomy, and the small silver pistol in his hand began to rotate again: "Mr. Xu, take a closer look, don't look away." Xu Yicheng was unaware of his murderous aura, and he picked up a red cannon: "It's not wrong, the guns of chess in the Ming Dynasty are all written as 'package', one chess and four 'packages', two red and two black." In the Qing Dynasty, it began to be written as the word 'cannon'. So this chess deck is definitely not a clear thing. ”

Liu Yiming and Huang Kewu gasped at the same time. The doorway between this "cannon" and "bag" can be seen by anyone with a palm, but Xu Yicheng bluntly pointed it out in front of Wu Yuwen, but he was going to cause a catastrophe.

Sure enough, Wu Yuwen opened the safety bolt of the gun with a "click", and his smiling face reflected a grim shadow under the lamp: "I think what you said is a little wrong." ”

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense. Liu and Huang's necks oozed sweat. The corners of Xu Yicheng's mouth curled slightly: "Don't worry, the beauty of this chess game is not in this era." Wu Yuwen just thought that he was looking for a soft mouth, and let out a dry laugh like an old eagle, and asked him to talk about where the magic was. Liu Yiming and Huang Kewu breathed a sigh of relief, but a faint disappointment rose in their hearts, it turned out that this Xu Yicheng was nothing more than that.

Xu Yicheng picked up the red cannon and put it in Wu Yuwen's hand: "You weigh this chess piece, what do you think is the difference in this weight?" Wu Yuwen took it and muttered for a moment: "It's a little heavy." Xu Yicheng smiled: "Not bad." Even with the texture of the golden silk nanmu, the weight is not right - because there is something in it. ”

He took the cannon back into his hand, took out a flat-headed shovel from the seabed needle with his left hand, pointed it on the head of the Fushou bat engraved on the edge of the chess, and shoveled it vigorously along the banana leaves, and the chess piece split in half in response. Xu Yicheng took out another handful of small tweezers, and with a slight pull, he pulled out a crystal white stone chip from the middle of the chess pieces. Wu Yuwen let out an "ah" and almost sat up from the kang. No wonder the weight of the chess pieces in the hand is a little strange, it turns out that this golden silk nanmu is just a thin layer of skin on the outside, and it is actually wrapped in a thick jade as white as clotted fat.

This jade piece is polished squarely, and there is no other carving. Xu Yicheng picked up the jade piece, looked at it in the light, and said to Wu Yuwen: "You see that this jade is transparent, and there seems to be clouds in it, it is indeed a high-grade jade." Wu Yuwen's expression was a little complicated: "What's going on?" Why do you have to wrap a piece of jade in a chess piece? ”

Xu Yicheng said with a smile: "The chess pieces on the outside are round, and the jade on the inside is square, which is called the outer circle and the inner square, which is secretly in line with the way of a gentleman, so this chess is called a gentleman's chess." It is not easy to make this set of chess, you must first take the whole piece of golden silk nan wood and carve it into the shape of a chess piece, and dig out a big hole in the middle, which is slightly narrower than the jade piece. Then put it on the fire to roast, bake the big air until soft, and then stuff the jade slices into it, and sew the wood together, and it will be firmly embedded in it. The craftsman then carves the banana leaf pattern along the wooden seam, and uses the sewing as the leaf stem, which looks seamless and seamless. ”

"However, if the jade is wrapped so tightly, you can't see it from the outside, so why bother with it?" Wu Yuwen was puzzled. He is a connoisseur, and he is a white antique.

"The meaning of this can be deepened," Xu Yicheng pinched the piece ......of square jade with his fingers, squinting his eyes slightly, "Whether this gentleman's chess is wrapped in beautiful jade or stubborn stones, I can't tell from the appearance." Unless you pry open the chess pieces, you can't know. But it was carved in one piece, and after it was dug up, it could no longer be restored, and the chess was destroyed. Therefore, if this thing is to be sold separately, the buyer cannot verify it, and can only trust that the seller is an honest gentleman. Therefore, this gentleman's chess symbolizes the virtue of a gentleman. As long as you are insincere and suspicious, you are no longer worthy of being a gentleman. ”

Wu Yuwen first said yes with his jaw, but suddenly reacted, his face changed, he slapped the chessboard with a "snap", and shouted at Xu Yicheng with a pistol: "Then what do you mean by prying it open?" Trying to beat around the bush and scold Lao Tzu for being a villain? ”

Huang Kewu was so frightened that he almost rushed up, but fortunately he was dragged by Liu Yiming. Xu Yicheng was still steady, and the smile on his face was even stronger: "The ancients made utensils, all of which concealed righteousness. After understanding this truth, this artifact truly belongs to you. Antique appreciation, in fact, is the process of self-cultivation - I am not satirizing you, Captain Wu, but feeling the deep meaning of this gentleman's chess and the ingenuity of the design. ”

When Wu Yuwen saw his calm face, he was angry. He put the gun at Xu Yicheng's head: "It doesn't matter if you are a gentleman or a villain, hurry up and estimate Lao Tzu, if the estimate is low, Lao Tzu will shoot you!" ”

Xu Yicheng's two pale eyebrows did not move at all, his fingers were a little heavier on the chessboard, and his tone suddenly became low: "Captain Wu, you still can't see through the endgame of this gentleman's chess?" The army is approaching the city, your commander has to run, and there is only one pawn left to cross the river, what way is there to go? ”

As soon as his words fell, a strong wind howled outside, thick sand swirled, and the room suddenly became a little darker.

Wu Yuwen's forehead jumped, as if he had been poked in some sore spot. But the gun in his hand was always against Xu Yicheng: "Because of this, I have to sell my collection, so that I can have a little pension - Mr. Xu won't fail me, right?" He narrowed his eyes, gently pulled the trigger, and raised the gun slightly, as long as he exerted half a bit of strength, Xu Yicheng's head would have to be beaten into a rotten watermelon.

This monstrous killing intent was like a storm crashing on the shore, but Xu Yicheng remained silent: "Captain Wu, you govern the capital with an iron fist, and there are countless enemies. If you let go of power and go into hiding, and lose your official status, even if you take tens of thousands of oceans today, what can you do? There are many enemies of yours. ”

Wu Yuwen killed countless people for Zhang Zuolin, and now it is rumored in the capital that Zhang Zuolin is going to run back to the Northeast, and the support is gone, and what he is most afraid of is that the enemy will come to take revenge. Now that Xu Yicheng was pierced by his words, his wrist trembled, his mind was in turmoil, and he couldn't help but open his mouth to explain: "The tree is falling and scattered." The general trend of the Feng system is gone, what can I do? ”

Xu Yicheng said: "The way out is in front of you, why don't you ask?" "Pointing to the chessboard. Wu Yuwen frowned, not knowing what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd. Xu Yicheng said: "We play antiques, and we especially believe in a life word. What kind of life, what kind of treasure; On the other hand, what kind of baby, what kind of life it must portend. Since this gentleman's chess is in your hands, it means that there must be cause and effect between the two of you, and who should you ask if you don't ask about your current future? ”

"How do you ask?" Wu Yuwen lowered the muzzle of the gun suspiciously, and made up his mind that if this Xu Yicheng was a charlatan with a mouth full of firewood, he would be shot and destroyed, and then a person with five veins would come in. Xu Yicheng stretched out his hand, fished Wu Yuwen's old handsome out of the Nine Palaces, and pried it with a shovel, and the chess pieces cracked into two wooden shells in response, revealing a jade. Xu Yicheng spread these three things in the palm of his hand, sent them to Wu Yuwen's eyes, and said lightly: "Aren't these in front of you?" ”

"What do you mean? Don't sell me off. Wu Yuwen's patience is coming to an end.

Xu Yicheng threw away the two wooden shells that he had pried open, and only handed him the piece of jade: "Although Shuangmu is good, it is not as good as stone." ”

With a "snap", Wu Yuwen's pistol fell on the kang, and his face was extremely shocked.

Huang Kewu was a little puzzled, this chess piece was also knocked on once just now, why did Wu Yuwen react so much this time? Liu Yiming thought about it for a while, then figured it out, and whispered to Huang Kewu: "Shuangmu is a forest, and white jade is a stone." This is to persuade King Wu Yan to change his court, leave Zhang Zuolin, and switch to Chiang Kai-shek......" Huang Kewu suddenly realized.

Xu Yicheng used jade to rhythmically tap the wooden shell, making a "pop" sound. Wu Yuwen was disturbed by this voice, and his heart was like turning over the river and the sea. He suspected that this was a deliberate nonsense, but Xu Yicheng didn't know that he had such a chess game in his hand before he came, let alone the jade in it, how could he make up such a set of coherent rhetoric so skillfully?

Could it be ...... This gentleman's chess really has a fate with me, and there is a providence in the dark that instructs me to vote for Jiang?

The National Revolutionary Army won victory after victory, and many of the generals surrendered, and it is said that all of them mixed well. Wu Yuwen had already thought of surrendering, but he didn't have any soldiers in his hands, and a small police department detective director couldn't get into the eyes of those big warlords, so he had the idea of accumulating money and running away. Now that this gentleman's chess has shown signs, it seems that voting for Chiang is the only way out. But there is no way, no way, will people accept it......

Xu Yicheng took out a plain white handkerchief from his pocket, leaned over and picked up the small silver gun, turned the handle of the gun, and handed it to Wu Yuwen. Wu Yuwen took the gun and asked tentatively, "Does Mr. Xu have a connection with the south?" Xu Yicheng said with a smile: "I can't talk about contact, I just have a few friends." "A few months ago, if Xu Yicheng dared to say this, he would have been arrested and tortured by Wu Yuwen. But at this time, at that time, when King Wu Yan heard this, not only did he not dare to make a mistake, but said politely: "You may wish to help me introduce me if you are free." ”

As soon as this sentence came out, Liu and Huang secretly breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts. The catastrophe of the five veins can be regarded as escaping. After thinking about it, the two couldn't help but secretly admire. A mortal situation, he was actually pulled back by life, before the five veins were just entangled in whether to lie or not, no matter what they did, it was a dead end. Xu Yicheng saw through the essence of the problem, jumped away from the limitations of authenticity and falsehood, and pointed directly to Wu Yuwen's future, and suddenly became enlightened.

But Liu Yiming had another question in his heart: "What if King Wu Yan doesn't have a gentleman's chess in his hand?" How should Xu Yicheng convince him? Could it be that this person is so powerful that he can casually make up a set of rhetoric about any antique he sees? "There are some fortune tellers in Tianqiao who are good at measuring words, and they can detach the meaning they want when they write any word, Xu Yicheng's hand is much more difficult than them, how powerful does this person have to be? Liu Yiming didn't dare to think about it.

There was no one in the room for a moment. There was an awkward silence. Wu Yuwen suddenly regretted holding this birthday banquet a little. His original plan was to make a hammer deal and leave directly, but if he voted for Jiang, he would still have to mix in the capital in the future, and these wealthy businessmen would not be offended too much. He had the heart to not want money this time, but now it is difficult to get into the sheath of the sword, such a big battle to make money, but he gave up halfway, and it will become a laughing stock if it is passed out, and no one will be afraid of him in the future.

He hesitated again and again, so he had to give up his hand and say: "Mr. Xu, I have made an appointment with those merchants to make treasures, and I am afraid that it will violate my integrity, what should I do?" "He's talking the opposite. Xu Yicheng stared at him up and down for a while, and finally stopped his gaze on his chest, touching his chin, as if smiling. King Wu Yan was stared at all over his body, thinking that there was nothing wrong with this Xu Yicheng, so he had to reluctantly make a few dry laughs, and did not dare to turn around.

Xu Yicheng retracted his gaze and laughed loudly: "I have a proposal that can give Captain Wu and the merchant the best of both worlds." He smiled a little weirdly, Wu Yuwen hurriedly asked, Xu Yicheng pointed to the Wenhu medal hanging on his chest: "As long as Captain Wu is willing to give up this thing." Then he said a few words in his ear, Wu Yuwen was overjoyed, and said yes in a loud voice.

The wealthy merchants in the outer courtyard did not know what was going on inside, and waited anxiously in the middle of the banquet. Suddenly, there was the sound of footsteps in the courtyard. Everyone turned their heads one after another, and the face of Boss Wang, who was the leader, changed suddenly. First, Wu Yuwen and Shen Mo walked side by side, followed by a row of soldiers, holding more than twenty cloth bags, and put them on the round table in the middle one by one. Wu Yuwen made a look, and the soldiers ripped off the wrappers, revealing all kinds of antiques, from the Xuande furnace to the jade wrench, from the lotus copper chime to the gold and silver hairpin, none of them were the same. The nearby Mukden soldiers were all in good spirits and stood upright with their guns.

It seems that the five veins are really in cahoots with King Wu Yan, and they are ready to raise the price to trick people. The wealthy businessmen present all looked at Boss Wang, Boss Wang had a tiger face, secretly gritted his teeth in his heart, and decided to wait for him to leave this courtyard, and he shouted everywhere that the five veins were charlatans.

Wu Yuwen walked to the middle of the courtyard, hugged his fists around him, and said loudly: "Today's brother's birthday banquet, thank you for coming and receiving your heart." In the past few years, my brother and I have a chance to get a few treasures, but I dare not enjoy them exclusively, so I specially took them out today to play with you. ”

The merchants didn't have the heart to listen to his hypocritical politeness, and they were busy calculating in their hearts how much blood they had come up with today. Unexpectedly, Wu Yuwen's words changed sharply, and he was heartbroken: "Now the situation is unstable, and lives are in misery. In the past few years, how many things have happened and how many people have died in our Beijing city! My brother and I have been deeply taught since I was a child, and I know that benevolence is the foundation of the country. Therefore, I took advantage of this birthday banquet to decide to auction all the collections, and the proceeds will be used to fund orphanages and charity halls, fulfilling the responsibility of the people. We welcome you to join me in this effort. ”

His words made the businessmen stunned. Since ancient times, I have never heard of tigers eating vegetarian food and foxes, and King Wu Yan, who is full of blood debts, actually began to talk about doing good deeds?

Wu Yuwen took off the Wenhu Medal on his chest and said loudly: "I also donated this Wenhu Medal to show my determination." ”

The Wenhu Medal is made of sterling silver, the first layer is the light of the octagonal five-color flag, the second layer is the octagonal three-dimensional silver light, and the third layer is a warped-tailed tiger, with a green and blue sky in the background. Although it is not an antique, it is not of great significance. This medal was awarded by Zhang Zuolin himself, and has always been regarded as a supreme honor by King Wu Yan, and he wears it everywhere he goes, and everyone knows this story.

Now that he has even donated this medal, it seems that the donation is going to be serious.

The merchants didn't understand how things could get so fast, but their minds were spinning fast. It turned out to be a forced purchase, and people said that you had to pay as much as you wanted; Now it's a forced donation, but it's up to you to decide how much you donate. It turned out that tens of thousands of oceans could not be stopped, but now more than a thousand oceans can solve the problem. What a bonus!

These more than 1,000 oceans are bankrupt for the poor, but for these businessmen, they are just a drop in the bucket. They were afraid that Wu Yuwen would regret it, so they hurriedly raised their hands to respond.

The auction has to have a reserve price, and then the five veins will be used. Shen Mo sat on the side and said a few words, and several experts in the family left one after another. Now that there is no pressure, the appraiser naturally tells the truth, pointing out that these objects are old and new, and each of them gives a fair valuation. The businessmen at the bottom are charitable donations, and they don't care about the truth or falsehood, they lift each other for a few rounds, and tacitly raise the reserve price by two or three percent, and stop there.

For a while, the small courtyard was full of people, and after a while, more than 20 items were photographed. The merchants were lucky, and they scraped together a few packs of silver to make tea money for the Fengtian soldiers in the courtyard. The Fengtian soldiers were rewarded, and they all smiled, and the atmosphere of slaughter was swept away.

Wu Yuwen stood in the middle of the courtyard with his waist crossed, in a good mood. Although the money is not much, and some of it has to be set aside to do good deeds, it will not offend these businessmen too badly, and it will gain a good reputation for doing good, which can be greatly publicized in the newspapers, and it will be of great benefit to the matter of defecting to Chiang. As long as you can keep your position, you can earn this money from anywhere, and there is no pity.

He exchanged a few words with a few businessmen, and walked to Shen Mo's side: "Elder Shen, this time the five veins have helped me, brother, I am very grateful." If there is any difficulty in the future, just come to me. "Shen Mo was a little speechless, an hour ago, you still viciously detained our whole clan in the courtyard of Erjin, and now you have come to make friends. He said a few vaguely polite words, Wu Yuwen looked around, and asked again, "What about Mr. Xu?" ”

He was silent for a moment before he reacted and said that it was Xu Yicheng: "Oh, he said that there is still something to do at school, so he will leave first." Wu Yuwen was stunned for a while: "School? He's not from your five veins? Shen Mo replied: "He is, but he doesn't have much contact with his family, and he is now in Tsinghua School." Wu Yuwen looked at the group of people in the five veins and stood behind Shen Mo with a cow, and laughed dryly: "It's too similar - but congratulations to Shen Lao first, this talent is unfathomable, and there will be such a person to take over in the future, the five veins will be inherited, sit back and relax." ”

Shen was silent and didn't say anything, but the corner of Yao Shenxing's mouth twitched beside him, but he didn't dare to say anything after all.

At this moment, Liu Yiming and Huang Kewu are talking to Xu Yicheng. Huang Kewu's eyes were sharp, and as soon as the auction began, he saw Xu Yicheng quietly leaving from the door. First, he didn't want to stay with that group of people longer, and second, he still had a stomach full of unsolved doubts, so he hurriedly called Liu Yiming and chased him out. chased until the mouth of the alley, saw Xu Yicheng walking slowly in the wind and sand, and hurriedly shouted.

Xu Yicheng heard the shout, stopped, turned around and waited for the two young men to run to him. Huang Kewu asked first: "Uncle Xu, the auction has just started, why did you leave?" Xu Yicheng glanced at the depths of the alley and replied lightly: "There is nothing for me here." ”

"They're unloading...... Uh, uh, kill! Huang Kewu said. They saw with their own eyes that Xu Yicheng came out of the courtyard of the third entrance and said the result to Shen Mo, and those people with five veins were relieved on their faces, but they didn't say a word of politeness, and turned a blind eye to Xu Yicheng. When Shen Mo and Wu Yuwen walked out together, the others followed in a swarm, and no one came to say thank you to Xu Yicheng.

Huang Kewu was indignant, but Xu Yicheng just smiled. Liu Yiming observed carefully on the side, and he thought that if this person was not pretending to be calm and calm, or in his mind, it was really not very important to raise his eyebrows and stand up in front of the clansmen who abandoned him......

"You two didn't come here on purpose just to fight for me, right?" Xu Yicheng asked rhetorically. His eyes were shining, and Liu and Huang felt that they couldn't hide anything from him.

Huang Kewu's face flushed, and then he blurted out with a look of adoration: "I want to learn from Uncle Xu's skills!" Xu Yicheng smiled and patted Huang Kewu's shoulder: "Your second uncle's eyesight in playing bronze is unparalleled in the world, and he is invincible all over Henan; His third uncle's appreciation of calligraphy and painting, even Rong Baozhai has to ask for advice. There are so many capable people in the five veins, why bother looking for me who is irrelevant? ”

"But you're better than all of them." Huang Kewu wanted to say what the specific strength was, but he couldn't say it for a while, and looked at Liu Yiming with his eyes. Liu Yiming said slowly: "We don't want to know how you identify treasures, we just want to ask you how to identify people." ”

Xu Yicheng's eyelids jumped: "Yiming, you got to the point, it's easy to appreciate treasures, but it's difficult to identify people." After speaking, he turned his palm, gathered his five fingers upward, and made a pinching posture, "Treasure appreciation should be investigated for its origin; Connoisseurs should investigate their original intentions. If you want to grasp people's minds, you have to go to the roots, find out what he wants, what he fears the most, and what he cares about the most, then you can drive at will like an arm and finger - however, the words are moving, and the trader and fortune teller are the best at this trick, and you go to the flyover more often to wander around, and you have learned more than I have here. ”

Liu Yiming couldn't help but ask again: "Is the omen of 'double wood is not as good as stone' in the gentleman's chess really so coincidental, or is it a word you made up after you found out that there is jade in the chess?" ”

Xu Yicheng couldn't help but wonder: "There is really such a god, am I not a god?" I have a friend in the police department, and I first found out that Wu Yan had such a chess game, and then invited him to play a game when I entered the house, which slowly led him into the game - but we are not telling a lie about antiques, it is indeed a gentleman's chess. ”

Huang Kewu was puzzled: "Since you have already persuaded King Wu Yan to cancel it, why bother making extraneous branches and making any donations?" ”

Xu Yicheng raised his chin slightly, and the corners of his mouth were slightly joking: "Those wealthy businessmen usually ask them to donate some money, just like killing them." Now that they can borrow Wu Yuwen's momentum, let them pay for good deeds and be willing, why not? ”

Liu and Huang snorted at the same time. Unexpectedly, Xu Yicheng not only gently broke through the catastrophe and saved the five veins, but also forced the wealthy businessmen to donate money. Others can't break the situation even if they want to, but he still has the strength to kill two birds with one stone, this calmness and mind are really amazing.

When Xu Yicheng said this, he smiled lessly: "You have to be careful about this matter today, I always feel a little strange." Wu Yuwen and we have always been well water does not interfere with river water, this time we suddenly have to catch the five veins to accompany the tie-up, no matter how you look at it, there are articles behind it......"

As soon as he said this, Liu and Huang's faces turned pale, and after thinking about it carefully, it really didn't taste right. The three of them raised their heads at the same time, the sky was dark, and there seemed to be a giant palm hidden in the chaos, which could be deducted at any time. Xu Yicheng suddenly shook his head again, and laughed at himself: "Now that Old Man Shen is in charge, and Big Brother Yao is taking care of it, what can happen?" I'm just worried. Liu Yiming couldn't help but blurt out: "Those people are timid and afraid, what use can they have?" Uncle Xu, you might as well come back, let's think about the long term together. ”

Huang Kewu's eyes widened, although the two of them didn't know much about the details of Xu Yicheng's departure from the five veins, they also knew that there must be something strange in it, but they didn't expect Liu Yiming to usually say one hidden ten, but today he is so bold. Xu Yicheng was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then gently patted Liu Yiming on the shoulder: "I am studying archaeology with Mr. Li Ji at Tsinghua University, and I am usually busy." ”

"Archaeology?" Liu Yiming and Huang Kewu stared at each other, a little unfamiliar with the word.

Xu Yicheng raised a finger: "Archaeology is a science introduced by foreigners, and it is a bit similar to treasure appreciation, both of which are ancient studies." However, in the final analysis, the appraisal of treasures is a business, and the appraisal is how much it is worth, and the picture is a word of 'profit'...... Hey, let me think about how to explain it, archaeology is for the identification of national history, for the eyes of the nation, probably so to speak. ”

The two looked at each other, as if they understood a little, but they didn't seem to understand very much. Xu Yicheng waved his hand heartily: "I live in Tsinghua Garden, you can come to play with me if you have nothing to do." With that, he turned to leave, and in a few moments, the straight figure disappeared into the yellow sand.

"That's it?" Huang Kewu was a little stunned.

Liu Yiming's eyes flashed behind the lenses, and his lips moved: "Didn't you listen to Uncle Xu?" I have a hunch that this is just the beginning. ”
