Hei Niu was stunned for a moment and asked, "Isn't this an object from the Ming Dynasty?" How did it have anything to do with the jade coffin of the King of Dian? ”

I reminded the black bull: "Look at it, do these characters look like the ones on the jade coffin of the King of Dian?" ”

"Don't say it, it seems to be true!"

As he spoke, the black bull took the butterfly jade pendant and shook it in the sun, and the characters on the ground swayed with it. He looked at the butterfly's belly curiously and said, "These characters are still very hidden, how did you find out?" ”

I told Hei Niu about the discovery process and asked him, "How did your second uncle get this jade pendant?" Did he behave abnormally before he died? ”

The black bull scratched his head, thought about it carefully, and said, "If you want to say abnormal behavior, it seems that there really is!" ”

According to Hei Niu, he failed the college entrance examination that year, so he cheekily came to Beijing to join his second uncle. At that time, his second uncle set up a stall in Panjiayuan, reselling some old things collected from the countryside.

Hei Niu can speak well, and the second uncle is very optimistic about him, so he imparts to him some of the knowledge he has mastered about buying and selling antiques and firm antiques, and usually goes to the countryside to buy old objects and let him follow him.

Most of their areas of activity are Henan and Shaanxi, as well as the Yangtze River and Yellow River basins. There are many tombs in these places, and most of them are shallow, and local villagers may find ancient tombs when they are planting land and digging ditches. In the beginning, a few decent antiques could occasionally be found from the remote villages of these places, and they could be sold at a good price when they returned to Beijing and resold them. However, as the antique market heats up, more antique dealers are looking at those poor and remote areas, so that there is a situation where ten trips are empty.

Faced with the predicament, the second uncle chose to take the black bull to Xiangxi and buy some strange things from the people. By chance, he had to be guided by his peers, and under the temptation of interests, he took risks and started to rob tombs.

The things obtained from the tomb robbery are far rarer than the folk collection, and the second uncle's shop has since become a famous "genuine shop" in the Pan homeland, but anyone who wants to find treasures and antiques, most of them will come to see it, which one they like, never bargain, pay directly and take it.

A trip to Xiangxi, find one or two ancient tombs of some age, go in and toss, you will get a lot of harvest, enough for two or three years of stocking.

Of course, in the process of fighting backwards, they have also encountered all kinds of unbelievable things, and those things have been told to me no less than ten times. Although the ancient tomb is weird, because of the full preparation in advance, they are in danger every time and return with a full load.

The tree is very popular, and the popularity of the second uncle's paving has attracted the attention of peers. At that time, the sixth master's sphere of influence was about to take root in Pan's homeland, and he wanted to secretly win over the second uncle to join the gang, and repeatedly sent people to visit. In the face of the lobbyists who came to the door, the second uncle was noncommittal every time.

Until the beginning of spring one year, the second uncle originally planned to go to Xiangxi with Heiniu again. However, late at night before leaving, a man named Lao Sha came to the house, and the man and his second uncle were locked in the study and stayed for most of the night before leaving.

The next morning, Hei Niu went to find the second uncle in a hurry, ready to set off together, but found that the second uncle was gone! There was a note left for the black bull in his room, which repeatedly advised: Let the black bull take care of the shop, don't leave anywhere, don't ask about anything!

It is rare for the second uncle to say goodbye without saying goodbye, although the black bull has doubts, but at that time, after all, he was not deeply involved in the world. He didn't think much about it, so he followed the instructions of his second uncle and stood in front of the stall every day, greeting the merchants who came to him.

The sun and the moon alternated, the stars shifted, and more than a month later, the second uncle came back. At this time, he seemed to have suffered a major blow, his spirit was extremely decadent, his eyes were dull and wooden, his muscles were yellow and his face was thin, and his face was covered with dense stubble, and he was already sloppy.

When he pushed the door into the house, the black bull did not recognize it, and thought it was a beggar begging in the street, cursed, and pushed and pulled to drive him out.

The second uncle didn't resist fiercely, but just said weakly: "Black Bull, it's me." ”

Hei Niu was stunned for a moment, stared at it with wide eyes, and took a closer look, this sloppy old man in front of him was really his second uncle!

A month ago, the second uncle was still in high spirits, preparing to take the black bull to Xiangxi to do a big ticket, and then form his own forces to expand the market. But in just one month, the second uncle's whole person was like being emptied, lifeless.

For a moment, Hei Niu even felt that it was not the second uncle standing in front of him, but a walking corpse wearing the skin of the second uncle.

Hei Niu helped him into the house and asked in surprise, "Second uncle, where have you been this month?" How did it become like this? ”

The second uncle sat on the chair of the Pear Flower Taishi and didn't say a word.

"Your situation is not right, I have to send you to the hospital for a check-up!" After that, Hei Niu got up and wanted to forcibly take the second uncle to the hospital.

The second uncle roared like an angry beast and overthrew the black bull to the ground.

At this moment, Hei Niu noticed something unusual, and he found that the second uncle's strength was amazingly great. In the past, the three second uncles couldn't move him at the size of the black bull, but now they pushed it far away and fell heavily to the ground.

Through the dim light, Hei Niu found that there were blood streaks on the second uncle's arm, and those blood streaks were like tree roots, intricately wrapped under the skin, which was particularly infiltrating!

No matter what the black bull asked, the second uncle just didn't say a word. He sat back in his chair again, like a leather bag, motionless, and the look in his eyes was unusually scattered.

That night, the black bull didn't dare to leave.

Like a meditating monk, he prayed and stayed by the side of his second uncle.

The moon passed in the middle of the sky, the rooster had crowed, and the sky was not yet bright. The second uncle's abdomen suddenly made a gurgling sound, and the sound was like a snake scurrying inside!

Hei Niu secretly said in his heart that something was wrong, and he was going to help the second uncle to the bed, and then call the doctor on call.

The second uncle grabbed the black bull tightly, his face was full of pain, and told him with the only reason he had left, and let him take out something from his pocket.

That thing is the butterfly jade pendant!

The second uncle endured the pain and told the black cow: "Hide this thing, don't sell it!" Don't show people! Don't even try to figure out where it came from! ”

Hei Niu knew that the second uncle's life was not long in coming, and this was an explanation of the future. At the moment, he didn't have the heart to look at the butterfly jade pendant carefully, but his head was like a drumstick.

The second uncle took a breath and said intermittently: "This trip is ...... It's my own choice, it's nothing to do with others, you don't want to ...... Go and find out anything, don't get involved......"

After saying these words, the second uncle suddenly opened his eyes, his pupils dilated, and he died with his mouth open!
