Chapter 11: The Blood of the Pigeon

"Second uncle, what happened later? What happened to Ash? I asked eagerly.

The second uncle said: "I was collecting antiques in Henan at the time, and later, I took Xiaozhi home, raised it for more than three years, and then died." ”

"Dead?" I opened my mouth wide in surprise.

"Yes, dogs can live for about 10 years, and when Ash became a dog, he was already an adult dog, and he lived for another 4-5 years, and his age was almost ......" The second uncle groaned slightly.

"But... But second uncle, how do you know about Xiaozhi's experience? I asked, puzzled.

The second uncle smiled: "After Xiaozhi died, Tuomeng told me, do you believe it?" ”

"Dream?" I looked at the second uncle in disbelief, the second uncle smiled, picked up a mouthful of food, and took another sip of wine.

I believe that what happened to Ash he told is true, but I still remain skeptical of this statement.

I always feel like... The second uncle has the ability to peek into other people's hearts, just like knowing Shanshan's previous experience, Shanshan, it is absolutely impossible to tell him so much privacy.

"Xiaoyu, the second uncle is in a good mood today, I'll show you a good thing, pigeon blood!" The second uncle lit a cigarette and threw one at me.

"Pigeon blood? What's that? I winked curiously.

The second uncle spit out the smoke ring: "Actually, it is ruby, but not all rubies can be called pigeon blood, only the best ice can be called pigeon blood, and it has bichromaticness, in different lights, or purple, or red ......"

As he spoke, he went back to the bedroom, took out a small antique box, and when he opened it, there was a dazzling gemstone carving inside, which was really like a bright blood clot! There is also a radiant circle of light all around the body.

I was stunned to see this gem, I had never seen anything so beautiful, not only because of its ice quality and color, but also... It's a craft in itself!

The jewel the size of a pigeon's egg, the lower half is carved into an ark, the hull, the oars, delicate and delicate, and even the wooden texture is carved. The upper part is a hollowed-out and exquisitely carved shipbuilding, and on the bow of the boat sit two people, an old man with white hair and beard, and a monk holding Buddhist beads.

The old man is strong, the monk is smiling, no matter from the proportion, workmanship, are exquisite to the extreme! It can be carved with rice grains! With such a small figure, the eyebrows are lifelike, and what is even more incredible is that the windows on the upper floor of this ship can be opened and closed!

I was so shocked that I couldn't say that I worked so a hard ruby, even on a piece of wood, it was incredible to be able to achieve this level, I remembered the "Nuclear Boat Story" I learned in middle school before, carving on a fruit core...... It seems to be this picture, the same artistic conception! But compared to this thing, the former is simply not worth mentioning!

Hongzhou was bright red like blood, and the second uncle said proudly: "Actually, the color of the gemstone depends on the chromium content inside, the higher the chromium content, the redder the color!" Like the color of this piece, it can be worn by a first-class master! ”

"No, no, second uncle, the key point is not this, this carver... Simply, how did he do it? This window can actually move? I asked, with my eyes wide open.

The second uncle laughed: "What is that?" Look closely! ”

He picked up the gem and shook it slightly, and there seemed to be liquid flowing on the bottom of the boat......

I was devastated, there was such a creation in the world! Unless this thing is made of modern red plastic, I dare not believe that there is liquid in the gemstone!

"Second uncle, what is this liquid?" I asked, surprised.

The second uncle smiled: "This is called gas-liquid inclusion in gem identification, millions of years ago, when this gem was formed, some water and gas were wrapped in it, which is really rare, you used to... Didn't you study an article "Amber"? There's a fly in there, which means something like that. ”

I swallowed and foamed, silently thinking, the best pigeon blood in the gas and liquid body is already rare, and it has been carved into exquisite handicrafts, without a single flaw, this gem... It's a national treasure! It's in the second uncle's shop!

"Before, there was a Hong Kong businessman who wanted to buy it for 500 million, and I told him to get out, how can this thing be owned by ordinary laypeople?" The second uncle said, his eyes shining with an intoxicating light.

"Second uncle, where did you get this gem?" I asked curiously.

The second uncle smiled: "This thing was found when I was collecting antiques in Shaanxi in 85, and it cost less than 1,000 yuan." ”

"A thousand bucks!" My eyes widened again.

"That's right! However, on this stone, there are several lives! The corners of the second uncle's mouth grinned, revealing a strange smile.

Then he told me a terrifying story!

Henan and Shaanxi, as the ancient feudal dynasty built the most places in the capital, in addition to the underground cultural relics, there are also a lot of folk ancestral treasures, after the second uncle army was transferred, he did not stay in the state-owned enterprise unit, but went to the sea to do business, and did the grandfather.

At that time, there were a lot of antiques in the market, but they were basically fakes, and if you wanted to get a real thing, in addition to professional knowledge in place and good eyesight, you had to go deep into the countryside and do serious research.

The second uncle can get this baby, it is really a chance within a chance!

It all started with a woman who committed suicide by throwing herself into a pond.

At that time, the second uncle lived in the people's house, and people knew that there was an antique dealer in the village, and he was willing to take out the things at home and let the second uncle palm his eyes, but at the glance, there was nothing valuable, it was not the urinal of the Ming and Qing dynasties, or the spittoon of the Tang Dynasty, although many things were true, but the market value was not high, the oil and water were not big, and the second uncle did not put it in his eyes.

Just as he was thinking about leaving the village tomorrow and moving to other places, someone suddenly died in the village, and a woman committed suicide by throwing herself into the pond!

Everyone went to see the excitement, the second uncle was young, and he followed curiously, at that time, there was no shortage of time!

The broken pond, which used to be used for fish farming, has been abandoned for a long time, because it is stagnant water, and it is all covered with a layer of green weeds, and the pond water is dirty. The woman did not float up after drowning, leaving only an embroidered shoe by the pond.

The corpse always has to be fished up, but this is very troublesome, the area of the pond is not small, it is said that it is quite deep, and it is unrealistic to drain all the water, so people think of a dirty work profession, a corpse collector.

In those years, the corpse collectors were real, and sometimes the public security had to trouble them, these people were all very water-based, and they were well versed in the way of scooping up corpses, what corpses could be fished, what corpses could not be messed up, and the messy saying was very mysterious.

Not to mention, there is really a very famous corpse fisher in the nearby village, this guy has great ability, it is said that he can sleep in Weishui and fish for people in the Yellow River, but they are all exaggerated rhetoric in the countryside, and his name is also very special, called "a handful of fishing"!

The so-called "handful of fishing" means that as long as he goes into the water to fish people, it is always a success, and there is absolutely no reason to come out to take a breath and then go down to try, the success rate is 100%, and he has never missed. Because of his strong means, people have forgotten what his real name is, so they call him "a handful of fish"!

A handful of corpses were invited, and the second uncle was also very interested, wanting to see how this corpse collector fished out the corpse.

But seeing that it was a middle-aged man in his forties, with a simple face, his eyes were focused and sluggish, he stared at the pond for a while, and then turned his face and asked the villagers: "Do you care about the rice?" ”

"Tube!" The crowd roared.

If you want to say, the people at that time were so simple, and they didn't say how much it cost, just one sentence: Don't you care about the rice?

Hearing Ying Cheng, he nodded and let the old ladies and daughters-in-law who were watching around all avoid it, he was going to fish for the corpse!

The reason why the woman avoids it is not that it is exquisite, but that the corpse is fished out, it must be taken off to reduce the resistance of the water, if it is under the pond, something scrapes the pants or something, then it will be troublesome!

After smoking, all the women walked away, he flicked the cigarette butt and began to undress, and then step by step, like walking, "walked" into the pond, and finally "plopped" and sank!

Everyone stopped and watched, and time passed little by little, one minute, two minutes, one hour, two hours! I fished it out for two hours and it didn't come out! It's fucking... I must have drowned!

If the brain lacks oxygen for more than 2 minutes, it will cause irreversible damage to the brain and body, and if it exceeds 5 minutes, the person will definitely die! But... This guy has been down for two hours, and there is no movement at all, so he must have drowned!

The villagers are gossiping and talking, and they all say fuck up! It turns out that the previous was blown out, and it was unreliable to catch it, these two hours have passed, and it is another human life!

Just as everyone shook their heads and smacked their tongues, suddenly, a big bag of water bulged up on the water surface, and a head was exposed, still with that sluggish and focused face, looking ahead in a daze, and walking out of the pond step by step!

Everyone was stupefied, this... Is this a fucking human or a ghost? But in broad daylight, ghosts can't ......

Everyone stepped back, only to see that just a handful of fishes came up, but the woman was nowhere to be seen, and a bold villager called out and asked: "A handful of fishing!" What about the drowned aunt! ”

As soon as he didn't speak, the cat bent down, reached into the water and pulled it out, and with a "bang", a white woman's feet were exposed!

"Second uncle! That's impossible! You can't go 2 hours without breathing! I was taken aback.

The second uncle pouted: "You kid, listen to me!" ”
