Chapter 5 Pixiu Key

When Uncle Crutch took the things out, there were only three objects inside. The first thing that catches your eye www.biquge.info is a cornucopia of jade, which is white and only the size of a thumb. But this thing is a rare thing, enough to be taken to the museum as a national treasure to deal with, should be his most rare is that there is a naturally generated red spot in the cornucopia, the shape is very similar to the goldfish, if you pour a little water into it, this goldfish seems to be alive, constantly swimming in it, it is simply clumsy and clumsy.

Lao Quan and I told Uncle Lao to put this thing away quickly, don't let others know, or it will definitely cause death, and never take it out until the last resort, this thing can be used as a family heirloom.

After appreciating this cornucopia, there is a sandalwood rouge box next to it, but it is not too unusual to look at the color, after the appraisal of the old power, this object is probably handed down in the Ming Dynasty, that is, the ladies of the year were used to hold the rouge gouache box when they were not out of the cabinet, and the carvings on it are also exquisite, and they should be able to buy a good price.

But the most peculiar thing is one of the inconspicuous things, at the beginning I and Lao Quan did not notice this black thing, there is a little heavy feeling in the hand, looking at the appearance is probably copper, it may be due to the age, it is full of rust, the appearance is long and thick, like a big cigarette stick, there is a bulge at the front end. After wiping the top clean, it looks like a pixiu.

When Uncle Kui saw our serious appearance, he said, "I thought this thing was an object used by the landlord to smoke Fushou ointment, and I wanted to take it home to smoke a big cigarette, but this thing was a dead heart and couldn't be used at all, I thought it was useless, and I wanted to throw it away, but Xiuzhen didn't allow it, so I kept it until now." ”

However, at this time, Lao Quan had a problem with the publication, because when we were on the train, we always overheard the old scholar say that a symbol, similar to the style of a five-pointed star, we saw a symbol of this kind on this thing, and after seeing the symbol on it, it felt as if it was a touch, which should have a lot to do with our trip this time.

We said to Uncle Kidnapping, "This thing is very important to us, the old pedant may see what it is, we want to take it back to the old pedant to see, if it is useless, we will take it back, okay?" ”

Uncle Kui agreed very happily, originally this thing was the Tiegada that he wanted to throw away, and it was useless to stay, not to mention that we helped Uncle Kui so much, this thing was given to us, I and Lao Quan are very happy, absolutely this time Uncle Kui's house is simply worth the trip. We packed up this thing like a cigarette stick and immediately set off back to the room that the old branch secretary had arranged for us, but when we came back, the old scholar inside was already snoring like thunder, and he was unconscious, and this guy drank a lot of local wine, and he didn't feel anything at the time, but the stamina was very great.

I saw Mei Niang half squatting on the ground at this time and constantly cleaning up the filth spit out by the old pedant on the ground, I quickly pulled up Mei Niang, how could I let Mei Niang get these things, take the rag in her hand with one hand, and continue to clean up the mess, when we finished cleaning up, it was already midnight, and everyone was already very tired and had no mood to think about what this was used for.

That night I had a very strange dream, that there was a bronze treasure chest like a wild beast, constantly chasing me, trying to devour me. When I woke up from a nightmare, I heard firecrackers and drums outside.

I saw Mei Niang, who was constantly cleaning the room, and got up and asked, "Mei Niang, what's going on outside, what about Lao Quan and Lao Xueren!" ”

"The two of them got up early and went out, but they didn't wake you up when they saw you asleep, I heard that a foreigner came outside and said that he was here to recruit the crew, and I don't know much about the specific situation, I don't worry about you, so I stayed with you." After Mei Niang finished speaking, she brought me a bowl of water and gently placed it at the head of my bed.

I was about to get up to drink water when suddenly Lao Quan rushed in from outside the door. The mouth was still anxious, and said, "Your brother stinky boy, when he sleeps, he is like a dead pig." Hurry up and pack your bags, we're off to go! "I was inexplicably pulled up by Lao Quan, got dressed, and walked out the door. I had the opportunity to ask Lao Quan what the hell is going on, and the old pedant is gone?

Lao Quan explained to me as he walked, "Isn't this an American expedition, this group of people recruit crew members in the village, it should be because our village is a well-known fishing village, and the people here are all white stripes in the water, and they work under the hands of foreigners, and the salary is very high, so this is a big thing in the village, and everyone is very happy." ”

Hearing Lao Quan's words, I was even more puzzled, "What does this have to do with us?" ”

"It's also a coincidence, the place where this group of people are going is the famous 'Sea of the Dead' if someone leads the way, and I found out that the place where this group of people are going is very consistent with the address mentioned on Lao Heixin, isn't it just a good ride for us! The old scholar is still negotiating with foreigners over there, let's see if we can go together, hurry up! The group was in a hurry and was going to leave in a while. Lao Quan was very anxious and pulled me to run ahead.

When Mei Niang and I arrived at the entrance of the village, we happened to see the old scholar waving at us at this time, and the old scholar said that he had discussed with this group of foreigners, and they could take us over, but in case of emergency, we must follow the arrangement of the team leader, or we will be thrown off the boat.

As soon as Lao Quan and I heard that the other party agreed, we didn't think about the question of whether we could be obedient or not, so we quickly took the lead in agreeing. I saw that in front of this group of American men was a woman with a ponytail and a very spiritual hair, this woman was still a foreign Chinese, and she was also the leader this time, but after Lao Quan saw it, he immediately gave a name 'European and American Yanma', and her facial features were also very exquisite, and her appearance looked very wild and unrestrained, which was very in line with Lao Quan's mate selection criteria.

We had walked a long way, and at noon we saw a white ship with the American Star-Spangled Flag in the sea. It's all there and it's a great treat for Americans, with coffee and alcohol everywhere and plenty of umbrellas for sunbathing. After we got on the boat, we had the time to show the old scholar the cigarette stick that Lao Quan and I had obtained from Uncle Crutch before.

The four of us were in the narrow room, the old pedant carefully looked at the things in his hands, "This seems to be a key, specifically used to open something, I can't see clearly, but the key is so big, I see that the object must not be small, and the symbol on it is the same as what I encountered before, a touch, what is the relationship between it, it is likely to be the key item to open something important, it seems that our trip this time is destined by God, we must be more careful later, No matter what happens, life is the most important, this Pixiu key will be handed over to you for safekeeping! But don't tell this group of Americans! ”

I saw that the old pedant was very serious, and I asked, "Why?" Do you see something boring? ”

The old pedant nodded at us, and said, "I see that there are a lot of digging tools on this ship, and all the equipment is used to dig up antiquities, and there are a lot of diving equipment, most of which are military equipment, it seems that our leader this time is either very rich and able to get these special items, or he is a high-ranking person, but I prefer the first one." According to my guess, the purpose of this group of people is exactly the same as ours, which is why I tell you to be careful, this key is very important, so as not to be discovered. ”

I didn't expect that the old scholar was still a natural spy worker, and these subtle things could be discovered, and when Lao Quan and I came up, we concentrated on looking at the wine on it, and didn't care about anything else. But we're deep now, even if the other party is stronger than us, we can be knocked down in an instant, and Mei Niang is a more powerful character than us, while looking at someone who is a girl.

When Uncle Crutch took the things out, there were only three objects inside. The first thing that catches your eye is a cornucopia of jade, white all over, but only the size of a thumb.
