Chapter 2 The Treasure Holder
The so-called ants pee, each going its own way, although I have a shallow entry, but I have been crawling and rolling in the east gate of the corner for so many years, some things I don't understand, but I have also heard of some things.
Among them, the three most familiar words are the treasure holders.
Most of the Tianjin people who grew up in Tianjin have heard some stories about the treasure.
Tianjin is a treasure land of feng shui, the legend of "holding treasure" has existed since ancient times, and the old man of the old Tianjin Wei firmly believes in the treasure of the southern barbarians.
The most famous is the story about the Bell Pavilion.
The bell pavilion is located in the northwest corner of the city outside Tianjin, the original name of Jigu Temple, built from the Tang Dynasty, the temple has the whole volume of the Tripitaka Sutra. There are 48 golden bells tied on the attic, the wind moves in the night, and the bells spread for dozens of miles, which is really a big scenery in Tianjin.
In the eighteenth year of Guangxu, a fire burned the Bell Pavilion to the point that only a ruin remained. No one knows why the Bell Pavilion caught fire, but many people say that it was because the treasures under the Bell Pavilion were suffocated by the Southern Barbarians, which caused a fire.
It is said that the 48 wind chimes in the Bell Pavilion have a loud sound, and they can be transmitted for more than ten miles, because there are four golden toads guarding the feng shui under the Bell Pavilion. Several southern barbarians saw that there was a treasure under the Bell Pavilion, so they lurked outside the Bell Pavilion every night to observe. One night, the night wind rose again, and when the wind chimes were making sounds, the Southern Barbarian saw that there was a golden toad in each of the four corners of the Bell Pavilion on the ground, and the clear wind chime was transmitted from the Golden Toad to the four directions, and it was also the Southern Barbarian who was quick and quick, and the four of him quietly touched the side of the golden toad at the same time, and suddenly each pressed a heavy stone on the golden toad, and the bell of the Bell Pavilion was immediately dumb.
The next morning, the Southern Barbarians came to the Bell Pavilion and removed the heavy stones, and under each heavy stone was a golden toad. The Southern Barbarian took the four golden toads away, but he didn't expect that within a few days, a fire burned down the Bell Pavilion.
The golden toad belongs to the frog family, inhabiting the water and living, the golden toad was suffocated by the southern barbarians, the groundwater level of the bell pavilion fell, and then caught up with the dry weather, which caused a fire.
When I first entered the industry, I heard a few old people who opened a pharmacy shop nearby mention that the treasure holder does exist, but since the founding of the People's Republic of China, he rarely walks in the city, travels more in the famous mountains and rivers, or lingers outside the suburbs and wastelands, his whereabouts are erratic, and he acts mysteriously and strangely, and there is only one purpose, that is, for those "heavenly and earthly treasures".
What is the treasure of heaven and earth, these old people can't tell the truth, they just know that a piece of dog treasure that can be sold for more than 2 million is not worth mentioning at all in the eyes of the treasure people, more than 2 million in that era, you can buy a single-family villa in the peace area where every inch of land is expensive, and you can also bring a small courtyard of dozens of square meters.
I sat in my chair, staring at the old books on the table for a long time, thinking about some of the old man's actions when he entered the door.
It's not like he's here to buy something.
I put my hand on the cover of the old book, a few fingers are a little itchy, but I am afraid that this old man will give me a return pistol, I don't want to offend him, to be able to make friends with a treasure holder, for my little shop that has worked hard, it will be a great joy.
After waiting for more than an hour, it gradually began to rain outside, I pushed the door several times to look at the street, the east gate at night and the day are completely two faces, one is enthusiastic, the other is cold, this point in time can appear on the street, except for the need to hurry the goods out of the Tufuzi, the rest, there are only some wild cats and wild dogs.
When I went back to the house and locked the door, I pulled down the curtains on the windows and sent a few more text messages to Jin Yiyi, asking him to come to the store as soon as possible after receiving the text message, no matter what, I won't sleep tonight, just wait for him to come.
Since the old man accidentally left the old book here, I am embarrassed to open it directly, and now it seems that the purpose of the old man coming to the store this time should have nothing to do with the objects that were sold, he is interested in the red dragon jade carving, but why not buy it directly I don't know, it stands to reason that the treasure holder should not lack that money.
Putting the red dragon jade drop and the old books by my side, I began to sit on the chair and close my eyes, but my heart couldn't calm down at all, and my mind was full of ancient books in my hand.
Jin Yiyi dropped his phone in the bath at Sauna last night, bought a new phone early this morning, and hurriedly found it.
Jin Yiyi is the kind of young man who looks like a middle-aged man very ordinary, with sparse hair combed and shiny, with a shy belly, usually wearing shirts and suit pants that he bargained for at the stalls in the Dongshikou Night Market, and his leather shoes are directly reflected in the sun, and there are also one or two sets of brand-name clothes to support the faΓ§ade on important occasions, and he speaks competently, like a businessman who has made a fortune, and he can also be said to be the section chief of a certain government unit.
In fact, Jin Yi is not simple, when the college students are also assigned to the package, he is a member of the Chinese geological exploration team, and those who can do this in that era are the future craftsmen of the great powers, if he does a good job, today in Shantou, Guangdong Province, "Nanao I" Ming Dynasty shipwreck site excavation site, he will definitely be able to see his figure, but unfortunately Jin Yi did not withstand the boom of the coal industry, and went to the sea early to pour coal with his father, thinking that he could show his strength to become a coal boss in the new era of society, But I didn't expect to be as timid as Wang Ba after losing a few losses, all of which seemed to me to be found by himself - he and his father poured coal in Pingdingshan and transported it to Datong, Shanxi.
Jin Yiyi returned to the bank after his father went bankrupt and ran away, and began to be a second-way dealer in the old goods store, often wandering around Henan and Shaanxi, pouring some old gadgets from the countryside to the Jinjing area to raise prices and then sell, not making a fortune, but also mixing food and clothing.
When Jin Yi knocked on the door, I put the ancient book in a deerskin bag and hid something in the counter, it's not that I don't trust this guy, it's really that the toad last night caused a lot of psychological shadow to me, who knows if the old man left the burden unintentionally or intentionally.
Jin Yiyi handed me a jade stream, I drank a few sips of tea and put the teacup on the table and then leaned over to light the fire, before I could speak, Jin Yiyi's eyes were already on the red dragon jade carving - Jin Yiyi has real skills, when he followed the exploration team to find a Qing Dynasty relic in Daxingan, he was sharp-eyed and dug two coal mines.
Seeing that Jin Yi looked unwilling, I tapped my finger on the table and asked, "What do you see?" β
Jin Yiyi glanced at me, then reached out and touched the back of the red dragon eagle, took out a ball of wire, and shook it in front of me, "Where did this thing come from?" β
I was stunned for a moment, and then I realized that the wire was shaken out of the deerskin baggage, and it had been hidden behind the red dragon carving, so I didn't find it.
However, seeing that Jin Yiyi seemed to know the origin of this wire, I couldn't help but ask, "What's the matter, have you seen this thing?" β
Jin Yiyi didn't answer my question, his eyes narrowed, he looked at me and asked, "Seriously, where did you come from?" β
"I'm playing on my own." I said casually.
"Just you?"
Jin Yiyi pointed two yellowed fingers at the steel hook hanging on the wire, and said, "This thing, 10,000 yuan, you can make another one for me now." β
I didn't speak, Jin Yiyi clearly knew the origin of this wire and steel hook, but today I was looking for him to settle the account, and the 80,000 red dragon eagle can be worth half of my shop, and I don't have time to listen to him fiddling with knowledge at this time.
Seeing that I wasn't very happy, Jin Yiyi smiled, "20,000 yuan, how about selling this thing to me?" β
Seeing that I was a little stunned, Jin Yiyi spit out a cigarette and said in the smoke: "I'll give you a bottom, this thing is called a stripping basket, which is specially used by the shepherd to take off the fur of the red fox and silver wolf. β
I took a deep breath, pretended not to care, and asked, "What you say is true is true, since this thing is called a stripper, how exactly is it taken off, have you seen it?" β
Jin Yiyi smiled, took the cigarette butt in his mouth, unfolded the wire and wrapped it around his wrist, took out five steel hooks, clenched his hand into a fist, looked at me and said: "See, use a knife to make a cut on the animal's head, and then adjust the number of steel hooks according to the size, when peeling the skin, pull the rope at the end, so that the position of several small hooks is evenly forced, and the whole skin can be pulled off without tearing and leaving wounds, simple and fast, five years ago I saw a sheepherd in Daxinganling who used it to peel off a complete red fox skin, There were no wounds at all. β
