Chapter 122: Filling the Pit
My "truth" is, of course, this house, that the old paintings were dug out of the ground in the study.
I still learned this trick from Huang Shizhong, how could he be easily fooled, I asked several times, my answer was still the same, he finally had a cold face, and directly put down the words, "What's the matter, are you two going to carry it with me to the end?" How good it is for everyone to get rich together, you have to play and swallow it alone, do you have such a big appetite? I'm not afraid of breaking my stomach! β
This guy is too difficult to deceive, obviously he doesn't believe that there is a "hidden treasure" buried in this room at all, but I don't want to make it up anywhere else, bite it to death and never shake it, and finally Huang Shizhong sighed and shook his head, "Then don't blame the brothers for being ruthless, the two of you are good at yourself!" With that, he walked out of the room.
Black Pimple looked at the money in his hand in a daze, and finally smiled from ear to ear, pointed to the tattered painting scroll, and praised me vigorously, "Brother, you are still smart and old-fashioned, fortunately you still have such a preparation." I was really afraid that he would see through ......"
I looked at the mess of study and scrolls and shook my head, "I didn't prepare it. β
"Huh? That'sβ"
"Your old man is right, I'm afraid there are really 'ghosts' in this room!"
β¦β¦
From the second half of the night to dawn, the two of us sat at the door of the study, waiting for the "ghost" to appear, but until the third pole of the day, let alone the ghost, we didn't even see a ghost hair.
During the day, someone knocked on the door to talk about buying a house, and was driven away by the black pimple, he went back to the house and said to me, "There are a group of people in the main house, I heard that it is the cultural relics department, and I didn't expect Huang Shizhong's liar to help us, and keep pointing at our house with them, probably to impress us with true feelings, and want the Cultural Relics Bureau to know that there is a treasure here, and requisition our house at a high price!" β
As soon as I heard this, my heart was cold, "It's broken, it's bad, he's doing damage!" You must know that there are strict regulations in the law, and cultural relics reach a certain level of preciousness, as long as they are unearthed and out of the water from the ground and underwater, it has nothing to do with us! β
The black pimple was stunned, "Then, no matter how bad it is, you can still get a requisition compensation, right?" When the time comes, we'll bargain with them again......"
"Still dreaming?" I said angrily, "Do you have a title deed for this house?" Do you have a land certificate? I don't even have a house number...... In fact, it's an illegal building, and it's still bargaining? It's not bad if you don't punish you......"
"But, but if he cheats us, what benefit can he get?"
"Forcing you to sell the house at a low price as soon as possible, didn't he say it, let's raise the house price, which affects his business! Also, he made it clear that he wanted to take revenge on us, didn't he put down his cruel words last night - if he doesn't tell the true origin of the ancient painting, don't blame him for being ruthless! I said, thinking for a moment, and then said, "Or, he really feels that we are extraordinary here, and wants to borrow the strength of the official to explore the reality of this house." β
"Really, really fucking shit-" The black pimple fell into the couch and looked up at me again, "Brother, what do you think we should do now?" β
"The soldiers will come to block, and the water will come to the earth,......" I said, "If the Cultural Relics Bureau wants to come down to investigate, it must also have formal approval and procedures, so we will take advantage of the last two or three days to do the big thing!" β
"Good! I'll do it with you! Black Pimple jumped up from the couch and became confused again, "Brother, big deal...... What is it? β
"Catch the 'ghost'!" I said, "Catch those two little ghosts......
β¦β¦
In the next two days, no one bothered us anymore, probably heard rumors from the outside, saying that although we have received excessive attention here, it is an illegal building, and we have lost the possibility of property appreciation, as a result, our house prices have fallen all the way, and in just over 50 hours, it has changed from a "golden location" to a "freezing point".
Among them, of course, there is no lack of Huang Shizhong's provocation, and I saw through the window several times that he was condescending, standing on the slope and smiling at us.
On the evening of the third day, Black Pimple heard that early tomorrow morning, people from the Cultural Relics Bureau will come down to inspect, and with them, it seems that there are still real estate and several law enforcement departments, Black Pimple has begun to retreat, saying, "No, let's withdraw, just spend money to buy a lesson this time, and admit how much you lose, it's a big deal to inherit your father's business in the second half of your life, and serve the old man steadily." β
Before I could speak, the old man yelled at the black bump, "Look at your little bit of breath! Where you fall, you have to get up from there, if you want to admit it, just leave, Xiao Li and I stay here, we have to vent our evil anger if we say anything, and we can let those liars get away with it? β
I looked at Black Pimple and I - the man was awake again.
That night, I and the black pimple were guarding the door of the study, waiting for something strange to happen, but until two o'clock in the second half of the night, there was still no movement, in order to keep warm, we made a charcoal fire next to us, and ate and drank at the same time, trying to maintain body temperature, at three o'clock, the old man actually went down to the ground, picked up half a fried chicken from our low table, respectfully placed it in the center of the study, and said to us when he returned, "Pick the ground, I have never heard of people eating, ghosts have ghost banquets, do not pay tribute, who can let you see the real body?" Knock knock ......" another violent cough......
In fact, the two of us had food and drink at the beginning, and we were afraid that the "little ghost" would pick the taste, so we deliberately mixed the taste of sweet and sour, but it didn't help at all, we made a fuss, and we still tossed ourselves.
The old man went back to his bedroom with a cough, and we looked at each otherβwas he cured or was he bad......
Just when I was helpless, Black Pimple suddenly poked me with his elbow, "Brother, you, look, what's that?" β
I happened to notice that something seemed to be moving again in a corner of the study......
One of us grabbed a pickaxe and crept into the study, but as soon as we stepped through the door, we each sighed - it was just a mouse, lying on the fried chicken and smelling it, and grabbed a chicken leg and began to pull it back.
The black pimple wanted to drive it away, but as soon as he took half a step, his face changed......
Two half-human-high shadows suddenly shook in the dark, only a flash, half of the fried chicken disappeared, after the two of us rushed over, only saw two pieces of broken pottery there, although I don't recognize it, but judging from the patterns and diagrams on it, it is definitely not a modern thing......
The black pimple almost jumped up, and looked around, "Brother, we, we're really the hell!" β
I lay in the study and looked around, and finally stopped in a corner, "Old Black, I'm afraid you're right, we really ran into some 'abnormal creature'......"
The faint smoke rising from the charcoal fire drifted into the study, and then swirled in the room and dispersed, and it was this corner of the house that was finally submerged......
Black Pimple also understands that behind the wall of this house, there must be no hole!
The two of us used a chisel to pry, a shovel to dig in, and a hammer to smash it, but the wall remained unchanged, and finally the old man came out of the bedroom again, put a plate of peanuts, coughed twice, and then returned to the house, two more shadows dangled from the corner of the wall......
