Chapter 119: Night Follow
The black pimple was stunned for a moment, and then held the hand of the "big mink brother" in surprise, and was just about to speak, when he saw a person walk out of the courtyard gate next to him, smiling and greeting, "It's me, it's me." β
As soon as I looked at the guy, I felt very familiar, short and thin, with a pointed beak and monkey gills...... Oh, I remember, it's the one who lost all his money in the underground casino two days ago and wanted to exchange the jade pendant for chips.
The short and thin man pulled the black pimple aside, and stretched out his hand to the "big mink brother", "My surname is Huang, and I am honest, I want to sell the house." As he spoke, I let "Big Brother Mink" into the courtyard, and I grabbed the black bump that was stunned and followed in.
The yard is a family of three houses, grass grows on the roof tiles, it looks dilapidated, the blue-gray floor tiles are uneven, as if they have just been turned over, the old lady is right, I don't know how many times it has been tossed by several generations.
The guy named Huang Shizhong introduced to the "Big Brother Mink", "This courtyard is an old mansion of more than 80 years, and it used to live in a household of the second son of the main family, next to the eldest son's house-" He pointed to a house next to him, "Oh, his family, just requisitioned by the Provincial Cultural Relics Bureau two days ago, our family is ......"
"Brother Mink" interrupted him with a wave of his hand, "I know, you make a price, you can negotiate with me to pay cash directly." β
Huang Shizhong gestured with him behind our backs, but I didn't expect that "Brother Mink" would not bargain, so he agreed in one bite, and said, "How many more?" I bought them all! β
Huang Shizhong was happy, "There are also three courtyards in the southeast corner and one courtyard in the northwest, if you are sincere, big brother, I will pack and calculate the price together, and then give you a little!" β
"Brother Mink" glanced at his hand, "I heard that you still have a set of main house courtyard under your hand......"
Huang Shizhong's face changed instantly, "That, that place can't work......" He instinctively touched his wrist, and I noticed that there were small ornaments hanging there, which were the jade pendants that he wanted to exchange for chips that night.
"Brother Mink" also stared at Yu Pei and smiled coldly, "Brother Yaxing is good, it's a good antique, if I didn't look away, it was from the Sui and Tang dynasties." β
Huang Shizhong immediately stuffed the jade pendant into his sleeve, "Big brother said that he laughed, this is what my brother picked up at the stall, it is cheaper than a box of hard Chinese, don't laugh at me......"
As he was talking, there was a roaring sound of cars outside the courtyard, and this time several groups of people rushed in, all of whom came to see the house and buy a house, and some didn't even ask, and directly had to pay the money on the spot.
Black Pimple originally wanted to find Huang Shizhong's bad luck, he recognized that this kid was the owner of the Jetta, but at this time, people were busy making money, and they didn't have time to deal with him, so in the end they could only force the fire and was dragged out of the yard by me.
One of us carried rice, one carried an electric heater, like two scavengers, listlessly walked back, on the way met more cars and people in a hurry, should be rushing to buy a house and land, for a while, this once buried in the gray and lonely homestead is more lively, black pimple to see both envy and jealousy, after listening to me talk about the past of the place, I can't help but sigh, "It turns out that they are all rushing to" hidden treasure ", no wonder even the Cultural Relics Bureau is eyeing here...... Huh? Brother, did you think that dwarf really found something good? As we were talking, we heard the shouts of people coming from a nearby courtyard, and we went to the door to see that someone was digging out a worn-out oilcloth bag from the brick crack in the courtyard wall, and a handful of copper coins with a patina were wrapped in it......
β¦β¦
That night, Black Pimple fried two green vegetables, and took out a bag of bulk liquor, which was counted as improving the food for me and his father, the old man's problems were good and bad, and his head was always confused, and he went back to the house to sleep after drinking two mouthfuls of a bowl of rice, and after Black Pimple adjusted the electric heater for him, he came back to drink with me, and the wine fell quickly, obviously he wanted to use wine to kill his sorrows.
As he spoke, he talked about the trip a few days ago, and he said that he even missed those days a little, although it was difficult and difficult, but at the same time it was thrilling and exciting, which was better than nesting here all day and suffering from the birds.
Drinking until midnight, the house became colder, Black Pimple put the electric heater in his father's house, we were in the living room so cold that his hands and feet were cold, he could only get up and make a fire, I took this time to go to the toilet to pee, and when I came back, I found that the fire was lit, but the black pimple was gone, I looked out of the window, in the dark, he held a flashlight, dragged a stick, and was going to the main room.
I chased him out and finally grabbed him before he could get close to the Jetta. He turned around and was about to pick up the stick, but when he saw that it was me, he put down his hand again, spit out wine, and said, "Brother, don't stop me in this matter, if I don't teach him a lesson, he won't know how to behave!" β
The black pimple was too depressed for a while, and he wanted to find a place to vent with the strength of alcohol, and it happened that the owner of the car had just provoked him, and he wanted to take revenge by smashing the car.
I dragged the black bump into the dark, "Old Hei, I won't stop you if you really want to do it, but you have to wake up after the wine, what's the matter with the big old man's 'drinking bear guts'?" I'm not afraid of being laughed at when I spread it. β
The black pimple eye circles are a little red, "Brother, I, I'm bitter ......"
I wanted to say a few more words, but suddenly I saw a person coming out of the courtyard in front of me, and it was Huang Shizhong who looked like him in height and appearance. He sneakily went out, walked sneakily, and soon disappeared between the scattered houses......
I secretly followed the black pimple, and found that he had gone into a small courtyard, carefully dug a pit in the corner of the courtyard wall, then stuffed a small cloth bag into it, and backfilled the pit again, looked around to see if there was anyone, and touched the next courtyard......
Seeing that he had walked far away, the black pimple and I came out of the shadows, dug up the small pit again, took out the cloth bag and opened it, and there was a gold bracelet and a few broken jade pendants......
The two of us followed, and we saw that Huang Shizhong was groping in and out of the courtyard, and every time he stuffed a small cloth bag into the cracks of the bricks of the courtyard wall, under the roots of the trees, at the bottom of the flower pond, in the eaves, etc., and we opened them one by one, which were either gold and silver ornaments or broken jade beads, and the collection weighed a pound. The black bump was blown by the cold wind, and most of the wine woke up, and he scratched his head at this time-
"Is heβis he playing 'Santa Claus'? Door-to-door delivery of gold and silver...... but after thinking about it, it suddenly dawned on me, "Damn!" This guy has become a thief - it doesn't cost a lot of money to buy these broken gold and jade, but it can make everyone think that there is indeed a 'treasure' here. Hell, it turns out that it's this big head who earns it! β
I weighed the gold, silver and jade in my hand, and said to the black pimple with a smile, "Old Hei, your chance to 'take revenge' has come......
