Second uncle's relics

Because it contains valuable antiques, the environment in the antique shop is the most exquisite, taboo cold and damp, taboo ultraviolet radiation, require clean, no harmful gases, dust, insects, mildew. Among them, drying and mildew prevention is the most basic point, because these delicate antiques, especially calligraphy and paintings, once damp and mildew, will cause irreparable losses.

The shop of the black cow used to be extremely dry, and the mops that mop the floor were all screwed dry, but now, after leaving for just ten days, how can there be a puddle of water in the house? Where does this water come from?

When he was puzzled, he saw Gao Moli beside him looking up at the roof. I followed his gaze and saw a palm-sized hole in the roof of the shop! The entrance to the cave was filled with skylight, and a few straw trees hung around it, and the tiles that had previously covered it were gone!

Recently, it has been raining in Beijing, and the puddle of water on the ground is undoubtedly leaking in through a hole overhead.

I reminded, "Hey, Black Bull, your little shop is in disrepair and leaking!" ”

"I only changed the bricks and tiles last year, and applied a waterproof layer, what kind of water is leaking?" While rummaging through the drawers, the black bull couldn't help but look up at the roof, and he was shocked to stand up.

I was puzzled and asked, "In the past, you didn't cry out about pain when the flesh on your body fell off, but now that the roof is broken, how can you be scared like this?" This doesn't look like your black bull style, huh? ”

The black bull stared at the hole and said, "You know a fart!" Master Niu, I have a baby hiding there! ”

I subconsciously joked, "Hang the baby on the beams? Isn't that what a 'clean room' should do, and when did you start having this preference? ”

"You're so funny! Even if you hang it, you have to hang your baby! As he spoke, the black bull threw his backpack on the counter, and with a panicked expression, he took the folding ladder from the wall, put it directly under the hole, and climbed up like an ape.

The black bull reached out and groped under the tiles around the hole for a while, and said angrily, "Damn! What a loss! ”

Black bulls are rarely so concerned about anything, so I asked curiously, "What is it, is it important?" ”

"Of course it's important, why don't I hide it on the roof?" The black bull was unwilling to grope again, but still found nothing, and he scolded and climbed down the escalator. "It must have been stolen by some grandson, if Lao Tzu finds out, he must break his hand!"

Gao Moli ignored the black bull and said to me, "Hurry up." Then he went out the door and watched the movement in the street.

"You hide something on the roof, and most people can't think of it, who would steal it? Then again, what the hell is it? "I asked the black bull and looked at the ground carefully, hoping to find the clues left by the thief, but even if I stared out my eyes, I didn't even find a footprint or fingerprint.

"An old jade left to me by the second uncle, in the shape of a butterfly, with such a big palm. Before he died, he told me to keep it and not sell it, so I figured out a way to hide it under the roof tiles, and now it's okay, 'Hydrogen balloon up to the sky - damn it, gone'! After the black bull finished speaking, he looked a little depressed, and he didn't have the heart to retract the folding ladder.

I analyzed: "There is no trace in the house, and if you want to steal, you will steal it from the outside." And, looking at the water on the ground, the hole in the roof was formed at least seven or eight days ago. It may be that we just walked on the front foot, and someone took advantage of the loophole on the back foot! ”

Hei Niu didn't bother to sort out the Xibei goods on the shelves, kicked at the counter, and scolded: "If you steal it from the outside, then it's really a fucking cat, the roof tiles are the same, how did he find this piece all at once?" The black bull muttered and suddenly stopped, adding, "Not to mention, that piece of jade is really fragrant, like fish meat." ”

I wondered, "Like fish?" Isn't that just a fishy smell? ”

"It's not a pure fishy smell, it's like the smell of steamed sea bass just out of the pot, it's very fragrant, but it has a slight fishy smell......"

Before the black bull finished speaking, an idea suddenly flashed in my mind, and said to the black bull: "Sensei nonsense, carry the ladder and go to the back with me!" ”

Hei Niu's antique shop is far away from the main street of Panjiayuan, it is a binary tile house, the front one is used as a storefront on the street, and behind the store is a small square courtyard, suspiciously storing some old stone tools and other objects, and at the back is a tea room, which is a secret place for talking about big business. Of course, Hei Niu has never talked about a big business since it opened its business, and later simply turned the tea room into a lounge, and when he was fine, he lay in it to nap and watch TV.

I was about to push the door into the backyard, but I found that the iron door was locked, I found an iron chisel and pried it, and the door was bent, but the iron lock still did not move. In desperation, he had to beckon Gao Moli to come in and help.

The sword opened and the door opened, and the three of us walked into the backyard together. The backyard is only more than 20 square meters, and there are several old stone tools stacked.

I asked Hei Niu to put the ladder against the wall on the side of the store, and Gu Zi climbed up.

Under the reflection of the rising sun, the glazed tiles are like a piece of black satin, shining, and a tile is out of its original position and horizontal on the eaves, which is particularly abrupt. There are also several lumps of brown objects next to the tiles, which look like feline droppings.

It seems that as I expected, the scented jade butterfly of the black bull attracted the wild cat, and the wild cat, thinking that there was something hidden underneath, pushed the tile away, and took the jade butterfly away.

However, jade has a taste, after all, it is not something to be eaten, and the thief cat should not take it away, not to say, it is still nearby!

My eyes searched carefully among the tiles, and finally I found a white thing under the ridge tiles of the roof, which was warm and translucent, and it should be the jade butterfly lost by the black bull.

I shouted into the yard, "Found it!" Black Bull, your darling has been bitten to the roof by a night owl! ”

"Damn! It's true? When the black bull heard this, he suddenly became energetic, stepped on the stone and jumped to the wall, and then walked like a goat walking on a tightrope along the wall towards the tiled house.

The black bull glanced at the place I pointed to, and said excitedly: "It's true! Sulmos is like a god in judging the case, and he can't say it if he doesn't reward you with a few little red flowers! ”

After that, the black bull raised his feet and stepped on the glazed tiles, ready to get his jade butterfly, but before he could think about it, he heard the sound of the tiles breaking as soon as he landed.

"With your weight, you have to leak down, it's better to let Gao Mo leave the horse more reliable!"

Without waiting for me to say hello, Gao Moli jumped onto the roof, stepped on the glazed tiles like a dragonfly, and took the jade butterfly hidden under the ridge tile in his hand.

Just as he was about to turn around and come back, Gao Moli glanced at the street, suddenly leaned down, and said to us in a low voice: "A group of people are here." ”
