Volume 1 Memoirs Chapter 19 Statue of the Cow
In the end, under the expectant eyes of Chengzhi's relative, we ran away.
Everything was done in two and a half days, and it was supposed to be done on Saturday, but I didn't expect everyone to be so impatient.
On Saturday, it was only six o'clock in the morning, and Cheng Zhi came to my house. I didn't dare to tell my parents, so I could only panic and say that I was going fishing. When I went out, my dad was still muttering, are young people so diligent in fishing now? I didn't even get up so early to read!
When I came out of the intersection, I found that the foursome had already arrived, and only me, the initiator, was the last to arrive.
Without further ado, the four of them rode away on motorcycles. I'm the poorest one, so I'm the only one who rides a motorcycle, and they all have one and pull tools.
It took some time on the way, and by the time we arrived at our destination, it was already ten o'clock. We were non-stop, got out of the car and started to prepare for the work of launching into the water.
At the end of the day, though, we were worried about safety, and then about the three motorcycles. So we finally decided to leave one to watch.
Of the four, I was the second, but the title was called Airplane. Because I have a single name, and I am thin, I feel that the wind can blow it away, so they call me a plane. And the third surname is Luo, and the school has a nickname, Luo Laosan, which is given according to the ranking of our foursome. And the fourth child is Chengzhi, this product grows as strong as a cow in the later stage, and his temper is the same, as stubborn as a cow, so people give him a nickname, Brother Niu. Brother Niu used it on him, but it was not an honorific title.
As for the boss, that is, the tallest and the best image, the guy who always has a flat head, is called Brother Jun. This guy is the richest in the family, he is still studying, and he is already equipped with a mobile phone. Of course, the mobile phone at that time was the kind of button-type 2.4-inch small color screen brick mobile phone.
So, he was left behind. The reason is because he has a mobile phone, and we don't know how to use this guy's mobile phone at all, and we don't know if it's a copycat machine produced at the foot of the mountain.
In the aggrieved and hateful gaze of the military brother, the three of us went into the water in turn. I went into the water and heard this guy swear on it that the next phone would definitely be genuine.
Of course, that's a story for later. The three of us took the lead and went straight to the hole. This time, I was familiar with the road, and I took them all the way to explain the road conditions, and it was easy to pass through the hole and enter the waterhole.
The road was so smooth, and I was blessed, and if I hadn't dug that passage, I would still be digging the mud right now.
When we got to the waterhole, I was still explaining to them about the hole. Who knows, Cheng Zhi can't wait for a long time, he's heard me say it more than once, so he can't wait to go upstream as soon as he kicks the water. Seeing this, I had no choice but to give up, shut up and float up.
Don't look at Cheng Zhi as strong as a cow, but he moves very quickly. By the time Luo Laosan and I climbed up, he was already standing on the shore, looking in a daze in the direction of the great discovery.
Luo Laosan was also stunned, and the two of them were like frozen people, looking at the stone pillars and coffins in a daze. It's no wonder that these two people have never seen such a magnificent and mysterious thing, and they can't compare with me at all, who told me to swim even in the Water Cave Mansion with nine roads and eighteen bends.
Patting them on the shoulder, I led the way and walked towards the stone gate. The two goods also hurriedly followed, and took out the guy hanging on the waist one after another.
At this time, I also found out that Luo Laosan, the guy who refused to take things most strongly at first, actually brought a large fibrillated bag of pig feed.
Cheng Zhi and I despised him fiercely, and this thing was thick enough, and he shamelessly said that this is called being prepared.
The stone pillar is still the stone pillar full of lines, standing there to stand up to the sky and the earth. The stone lion is still the terrifying lion with fangs and claws and hideous faces. And the stone gate, arched there, seemed to welcome us.
And the coffin, red, gave off a longing glow to all six of our eyes.
Cheng Zhi and Luo Laosan were on one side, circling the coffin, and the last one was on the left and one on the right, climbing the stone platform with a fence. And I, walking straight ahead, also walked up.
As I raised the short-handled crowbar, the other two moved their hands as well.
At first, looking at the coffin, there was no crack between the lid and the coffin, and it was all sealed by four wooden buckles. However, when the three crowbars were poked up, we realized that the thing was not so tight, and we easily pried open a crack.
Just when I wanted them to hold it first, I went to use this crack to pry off the four wooden buckles, Cheng Zhi didn't know what he was thinking, so he actually stuffed the entire crowbar into it, and then pried it very roughly.
With a snap, the two wooden buckles on his side were broken from the middle, and the coffin lid was pried open.
Then, the creature grabbed the crowbar with both hands and lifted the coffin lid out, so frightened that Luo Laosan ran and jumped to hide in my side. If he didn't hide, the coffin lid would hit him directly.
I yelled at Cheng Zhi angrily, saying that he was crazy, and didn't he know the consequences? Maybe I'm so loud that it's buzzing in the hole.
Cheng Zhi was taken aback by me, the frenzied energy of prying the coffin just now disappeared all of a sudden, and he was at a loss when he looked at me. In the end, Luo Laosan opened his mouth and said to hurry up and see what was in the coffin.
The three of them hurriedly squeezed over and put their heads into the coffin, and we all changed our faces suddenly.
In this luxurious and spectacular strange red coffin, there is only a black cow-shaped statue. Other than that, it's empty, not a single hair.
For a moment, all three of us were stunned. It's just a carved cow, is this thing worth it? To take or not to take? Why is there such a grand scene, such a bullish coffin, and only one statue of a cow is placed? And what about the coffin owner? What about treasures and curios?
Could it be that this place has been ransacked? The contents of the coffin were hollowed out by the person who punched the hole? But what about the owner of the coffin? Could it be that the dead were also carried away? Or was it thrown into a pool?
They should be thinking the same way when I think so, and when I was thinking about the reason, I heard a pop, I was startled, and immediately shone the flashlight, and then turned my head to look, and saw Chengzhi's head floating in the water, and then plunged into the water.
Luo Laosan was even more surprised, and shouted in his mouth, did Brother Niu see that Ancestor Niu had hysteria? Why are you crazy here? Although he said this, he acted very quickly, walked ahead of me, jumped into the waterhole one step ahead of me, and chased after Chengzhi.
I didn't see Cheng Zhi until I went down to a very deep level, and Cheng Zhi was hugged by Luo Laosan at this time, and he himself opened his teeth and claws, feeling like crazy.
I was scared by him, but I managed to keep my senses. kicked the water a few times in a row, rushed over, and punched Cheng Zhi's right cheek with a fist.
All of a sudden, Cheng Zhi became honest and looked at me blankly. And I didn't speak, I pulled him by the collar and dragged him up. Luo Laosan pushed down and quickly pulled Cheng Zhi ashore.
When I got ashore, I pushed him to the ground and forced him to ask what was crazy, was there something wrong?
Who knows, this thing put on a aggrieved appearance again, saying that he was just unwilling, thinking about whether there would be anything good missing under the waterhole, even if he found the body of the coffin owner.
As soon as these words came out, Luo Laosan and I were stunned. What kind of brain would do such a thing? You say you want to do this, you can also tell us and discuss. Just jumped down silently, thinking that something had happened, scared people to death.
Anyway, after a long time, even Cheng Zhi suddenly became brutal and broke the coffin, all because of his brute character. This guy is just impatient and reckless. To be honest, I regret letting him down.
But at this point, we had nothing to say, so we had to sit down and discuss what to do, whether we wanted this cow statue or not.
Of course, the end result is that it would be a bit embarrassing to go down with so much effort and if you didn't bring anything with you.
And with the statue of the cow, we prayed, hoping that this thing would be worth a few cents, no matter how bad it was, it would be better to pay for everyone to go online all night.
It was as smooth as going out and coming in, and the military brother on the shore didn't expect us to come back so quickly. And when he found out that we only had a small cow statue, he was very disappointed. But there is no way to do it, after all, no one knows what was in it before.
At first, I wanted to go to the relative and ask him to introduce the owner of the antique shop again. Although I had a little trouble with him before, I don't know anyone else who would accept this kind of thing other than his line.
But then Brother Jun suddenly said that he knew someone who was engaged in the antique business, who was also from the provincial capital, but that guy's hands and feet were a little unclean. However, this person has a very high price for genuine goods, and he specializes in accepting such goods from unknown sources.
After listening to his introduction, we agreed without even thinking about it, and we didn't even think about how Brother Jun could know such a person. Maybe it's because this cow statue is not glorious, so we are only in a hurry to make a move, and we don't think about whether the other party is reliable or not.
The next day we went to the provincial capital, and Brother Jun took us to find the man. The meeting place was a teahouse, and the person had a room waiting for us.
There was only one person and there were four of us, which showed his seriousness and reassured us.
This person is a little chubby, surnamed Huang, a bald man in his fifties, and he smiles when he meets, giving people a very heartwarming feeling.
However, after he took the statue and looked at it for a while, he gave us a basin of cold water, which he said was just a plaster, coated modern work of art. If you want to get a price, it is no more than 50 yuan.
This is something we haven't thought of in many possibilities, and the four of us were stunned on the spot, looking at the fat yellow man incredulously.
Huang Fat Man smiled and said that the first time it was like this, it was inevitable to be deceived, as long as we accumulate experience, we will definitely be able to identify it in the future and not be deceived. And this time it couldn't dampen our interest, and decided to give us a hundred dollars as a reward.
Finally, in the evening, the four of us stood at the gate of the station holding the hundred-dollar bill, desolate. A hundred dollars, let's be honest, even our fare is not enough.
After returning home, we also collectively contributed to buy a big fish and gave it to Chengzhi's relative to thank him for his loan. When we say those words of thanks, and give the fish, our hearts bleed. This trip, the dead are lost, and the blood is lost.
Later, this incident became a pimple in my heart, Cheng Zhi, Brother Jun and Luo Laosan were the same. Since then, none of the four of us have ever mentioned it again, nor have we ever told a story about the adventure. The collective chose amnesia and forgot about it.
And I forgot it even more simply, and I won't mention the past when I talk about it in the future. When you think about it when you say it, you will feel red and ashamed.
After that, life returned to the right track again, and the four of us still surfed the Internet all night, slept in class, took exams, played hooligans, and fought to get by.
It's as simple and bland, and there is no pursuit at all. These two years passed in a hurry, until graduation and assignment of work, going their separate ways.
