Chapter 207 Charlie Cao
Han Sanbian has been digging deeper and deeper, and he has been digging more than one person deeper, and he has not yet reached the bottom of the stone figurines! He couldn't help but be amazed, and he couldn't help but be amazed! The heart said, "What's going on?" Isn't there a bottom for the stone figurines? ”。 Thinking of this, he sat down on the ground, but as soon as he stopped, he heard the rustling sound of the bottom of the pit, like the sound of earth collapsing!
Han Sanbian held a candle and shone it to the bottom of the pit, only to see a whirlpool suddenly appear at the bottom of the pit, the whirlpool was getting bigger and bigger, and he was about to be swept into it, Han Sanbian was shocked, and quickly shrugged up and climbed to the top of the pit!
When he climbed up, he heard the deafening sound of the mud and sand collapsing at the bottom of the pit, and he was so surprised that he leaned back and looked into the pit. It turned out that an extremely huge black hole had collapsed at the bottom of the pit at this time!
It's black inside the black hole, and it's cool air up there! He leaned on the edge of the pit and leaned out to see what was in the hole, but to his disappointment, the candle in his hand did not illuminate the huge black hole! As far as his eyes could see, there was a void, as if it was the chaos that the Taoists said! But in the midst of this chaos and void, there seemed to be a subtle sound, which at first resembled footsteps, then like the noise of people, and finally like bursts of thunder, and this great thunder shook the earth, as if it were about to tear the ground apart! Han Sanbian was horrified to see that in the midst of this thunder, the rolling yellow sand suddenly poured out of the black hole at the bottom of the pit, quickly filled the dirt pit, and overflowed again, instantly puffing up a huge sand dune. The sand dunes grew bigger and bigger, and in the blink of an eye, they poured down on him!
The yellow sand covered the sky, burying his legs, Han Sanbian was shocked, and hurriedly pulled back, he saw that the momentum was not good, so he simply carried Jia Laodao, turned his legs upside down, and ran away! After running for a while, I heard the sound behind me stop, and just about to put down Jia Laodao on his shoulder, I heard someone behind me calling himself!
Han Sanbian was surprised, reflexively lit a candle, only to see that in the darkness, a blood-red monster came out, the monster's face was blurred, covered in blood, and he reached out and grabbed him!
Han Sanbian had never seen such a monster, and his legs immediately turned tendons! He let out a "damn", and he didn't know where the strength came from, he jumped more than three feet away, and in the blink of an eye, he threw the monster away! He was carrying a person on his shoulder, and after running such a long distance, he was already tired and dizzy, and he was wheezing, Han Sanbian saw another stone figurine in front of him, so he gritted his teeth and carried Jia Laodao to the stone figurine and put him on the ground! Seeing that Jia Laodao hadn't woken up at this time, he couldn't help but be secretly anxious, so he had to put the candle on the pedestal of the stone figurines, turned around and probed Jia Laodao's snort, and saw that Jia Laodao's breathing was deep and long, and even, so he was a little relieved!
He rolled his eyes, but saw something white buried in the earth. Han Sanbian felt strange in his heart, and said in his heart, "What is this?" ”。 He kicked the thing out of the dirt with his foot, and found that it was a piece of white bone buried in the soil!
Han Sanbian was amazed, so he copied the bone in his hand, and when he looked closely, it turned out to be a human arm bone! There was a glittering ring on the finger of that arm bone! Han Sanbian felt unlucky, so he quickly threw the bone far away, and rubbed his hand on his pants again! I thought, "Where did these dead man's bones come from?" ”。 I suddenly remembered that the old hunter had told them that many people who went into the mountains to hunt for treasure did not come back alive, and the owners of this amputated arm bone were those who hunted for treasure! I didn't find this baby, but I took my own life! Thinking of this, Han Sanbian couldn't help but think of what happened to him, and couldn't help sighing, and he didn't feel a little more pity for the owner of this arm bone!
Han Sanbian pinched the candle and searched the ground carefully, and sure enough, he found that there was a dry bone that had been highly rotted buried in the mud floor! He carefully cleaned the dirt from the dry bone, and saw that the dry bone was wearing a suit and a pair of leather shoes on his feet! Because it had been buried in the ground for so long, the clothes on the bones had long since decayed, and the patent leather on the shoes had peeled off! Han Sanbian couldn't help but be surprised when he saw the corpse wearing a foreigner's clothes, and said in his heart: "Is it a foreigner who died here?" ”。
He saw one of the bones of the corpse with a hand stretched out under his clothes, as if he were holding something! So he carefully lifted the corner of his clothes, and found that there was indeed something hidden under his clothes!
Han Sanbian took a closer look, and it turned out that what he was holding in his hand was actually a small notebook! He carefully pulled the little book out of his dry hand, blew the dust off it with his mouth, and looked under the candle, and found that the little book was densely covered with words!
Han Sanbian cautiously opened the notebook, and saw that on the title page of the notebook, a line of pen words was written in a very delicate font: "Give it to my favorite person!" ”。 There is also a line of signatures in foreign languages underneath. Han Sanbian couldn't read the foreign signature, but he guessed by his handwriting that this book should be a gift from a woman to the deceased!
Han Sanbian then continued to flip down, and he found that the first half of the book was written in foreign Chinese, and only the last few pages were written in Chinese characters! Han Sanbian then carefully read the last few pages, from beginning to end, and through these words, he finally figured out the identity of this corpse and the story that had happened to him!
It turns out that the owner of this skeleton is named Charlie Cao, his surname is Cao is Charlie, don't look at him with a foreign name, but he is an authentic yellow-skinned and black-eyed Chinese! This Charlie Bencao didn't have this name, just because he went to study in the UK when he was very young, and after staying abroad for a long time, he felt that his name was too rustic, so he cut his braids and changed his name as soon as he patted his head!
Charlie Cao studied naturalism in England, and after several years of hard study, he finally succeeded in his studies, and then worked at the British Museum, responsible for the collection and research of Chinese culture! A few years ago, he was sent by the museum to travel through India and return to China by boat!
The purpose of his trip was to use the large amount of dollars in his possession to buy Chinese antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and treasures, so as to satisfy the curiosity of the British people thousands of miles away about the ancient and mysterious China! Charlie Cao first settled in Shanghai, but he did not gain much, and then he went west to Shaanxi and Gansu, and he did not gain much! In the past year in China, he has found nothing, and he can't help but feel anxious, once he chatted with an antique dealer, the antique dealer pointed out to him, this world of antiques gather in Beijing, where are the good things, why don't you go north to try it?
Although Charlie Cao studied naturalism, he was not very proficient in the way of acquiring antiques, so he delayed a lot of time in vain! At this time, I was slightly dialed by the antique dealer, and I suddenly realized that I immediately set off for Beijing!
At that time, Chinese mainland was in the midst of warlord chaos, and the roads were quite unstable, so Charlie Cao hired bodyguards to escort him north along the way! Along the way, he traveled day and night, eating and sleeping in the open, although the bandits did not meet, but they bumped into the rout!
This rout is much more powerful than the bandits, they have a gun and two are in groups, there is no trace when they come, and the bandits also pay attention to the first to come, the rivers and lakes are moral, but these soldiers and ruffians, regardless of it, they will rob every person, and burn the house when they see it, and for a while, the Central Plains region is thousands of miles away, ten rooms and nine empty, and it is barren!
Charlie Cao, relying on the support of bodyguards and the status of a British employee, didn't pay any attention to these routs, and didn't want those routs to be all big bosses, so what diplomatic immunity did they know? Before he could react, he was stripped naked by those soldiers! With a bundle of rope, I threw it into the pigsty!
Charlie Cao was covered with pig dung, finally broke free from the rope, escaped with a rolling and crawling life, and stole a peasant's clothes on the way, so he arrived in Beijing without danger! After coming to Beijing, he made friends with many wealthy businessmen, three religions and nine streams, and also acquired a lot of rare gadgets, and gradually made a name in Beijing's antique circle!
On this day, Gu Sanye, a famous antique dealer in the capital, invited him to Donglaishun to have a drink, when he came, he saw a thin old man sitting next to Gu Sanye, he inquired with others, no one knew the details of the old man! Charlie Cao saw that the old man's eyes were blazing and his demeanor was majestic, and he was sure that he would not be an idle person! During the banquet, everyone chatted while drinking, and talked nonsense until the night, Charlie Cao saw that everyone did not have anything serious, and couldn't help but be bored, just about to get up and say goodbye, he saw Gu Sanye stand up, arched his hand and said loudly: "Everyone, let's get here tonight!" Brother Charlie and I have important things to discuss! ”。
Everyone had already eaten and drunk, and when they heard what the master said, they all got up and said, "Since the third master Gu has something, I will leave first!" ”。 In a moment, everyone was gone!
Charlie Cao listened to Gu Sanye's words, and couldn't help muttering in his heart, and said in his heart: "What does Gu Sanye want to discuss with me?" Why don't you even know about me? ”。 But since the master has spoken, he naturally has to stay, sit in his seat and wait!
As soon as Gu Sanye beckoned, a guy served tea, Charlie Cao drank tea and asked Gu Sanye: "Third Master, I don't know what to discuss with me?" ”。 The third master smiled and pointed to the black and thin old man beside him and said, "Actually, it's not a big deal, I just want to introduce a friend to your brother Charlie!" ”。
Charlie Cao hurriedly put down the teacup, arched his hand at the black and thin old man, and said, "Oh, my Charlie Cao has eyes and doesn't know Taishan, I really don't know what to call this friend?" ”。 The black and thin old man also got up, arched his hand at Charlie Cao and said, "Contemptible, Monday, I hope Brother Charlie will take care of me!" ”。
Charlie Cao arched his hand and said, "Good to say, easy to say!" ”。 But in my heart, I was thinking: "What is the sacredness of this Monday pass?" Why haven't I heard of such a number one person in the capital? ”。 As soon as he was stunned, he heard Gu Sanye smile and said, "Brother Charlie, you must have never heard of Brother Zhou's name!" Let me introduce you to you, this Brother Zhou is the chief scoop of the Drill Gang who has been in the rivers and lakes for many years! ”。
