Chapter 10 Inquiry

Liaokou Park is located on Liaokou Mountain in the west of Qujing City. It has beautiful mountain scenery and is quite famous in the local area. Every day, many citizens come to watch the flowers and enjoy the scenery.

I followed my godfather to a tea room in the garden called Fuxiang Teahouse.

As soon as I entered the teahouse, a waitress greeted me politely: "Hello two, what do you want to drink?"

The godfather shook his head and said, "No need, I'll look for you Boss Zhang." ”

"It turned out to be a friend of Boss Zhang, please come with me." When the waiter heard this, he politely guided us.

We were taken to the third floor, which was significantly more upscale than the first and second floors, with an antique tea set on the table.

A bald man of thirty-four or five-year-old was dozing off in a wicker chair. ,

The waitress walked up to the man and said softly, "Uncle, they said they were your friends and said they were looking for you." ”

The godfather stretched out his hand to stop the waitress's words, and said loudly to the bald head: "Boss Zhang, long time no see." ”

The bald man opened his worried eyes, saw his godfather's eyes lit up, and said happily: "Yo, Brother He? I didn't expect it to be you. After speaking, he got up quickly and instructed the waitress: "Xiao Xie, you go down to greet the guests, and I will come here." ”

Sending the waitress downstairs, the bald man walked up to his godfather and said eagerly: "Brother He, you are a rare guest, it surprises me too much." Then he knocked his bald head and said, "By the way, I just received a few cakes of good wild Pu'er tea some time ago, wait a minute, I'll bring it to you to taste." After speaking, he didn't wait for us to answer, but went into the room and rummaged through.

My godfather leaned into my ear and whispered, "His name is Zhang Fuxiang, and he used to be a tomb robber, the kind who specializes in working alone." Once, he encountered a poisonous corpse and almost died there, but I happened to save his life. After that time, this kid was frightened and didn't dare to do that business, so he opened a tea room here and was his own boss. ”

I know about the poisonous corpse, and my godfather said that it was someone who had some obsessions in his heart before he died. After death, memories are fixed in the brain. After being buried in a dark and damp place, some abnormal changes will occur in a specific environment, the corpse will not decay, and the whole body is covered with corpse poison, at this time, if someone is unlucky to break in, the corpse will burst out and hurt people, and the average tomb robber encounters this kind of corpse change is a dead end nine times out of ten. But this thing is afraid of fire, and it will be destroyed as soon as it is burned or put into the sun.

I was a little puzzled: "Since Zhang Fuxiang is gone, what are we going to do with him?" ”

The godfather replied: "I had contact with him at the beginning, and his character is not bad, and after I rescued him, I tried to thank me many times but I refused." Although I don't wash my hands now, I heard that he occasionally makes a living by reselling antiques in private, and this time I came mainly to ask him for some news. ”

At this time, Zhang Fuxiang walked in with a few cakes of tea and greeted: "Why are you still standing, sit down!" After priing the tea leaves into the teacup with his hands and feet, he said to me, "Who is this?" ”

"He's my godson He Qing." The godfather smiled and said, "Fuxiang, I saw that your business was not bad just now, how have you been in recent years?" ”

"It turned out to be Xiao He. Come, drink tea. Zhang Fuxiang enthusiastically brought me the brewed tea. poured another cup for his godfather, and said modestly: "My business is so-so, although my income is not as good as before, but I don't have to worry about it every day." Now that I have found my mother-in-law and become a family, my life is quite comfortable. ”

The godfather nodded and said, "That's fine." Fuxiang, I'm here this time to ask you to help me find something. With that, he handed over a note.

Zhang Fuxiang took the note and looked at it, and said: "No problem, I'll get it for you as soon as possible, but the rooster blood for more than eight years is a bit troublesome, I have to ask people to go to the countryside to find it, maybe it will take time." ”

After speaking, he hesitated again: "Brother He, I see the things on your list, are you planning to make a big move?" ”

"I want to have fun." The godfather took a sip of tea and said quietly: "What's the matter, Fuxiang, are you also interested?" ”

"No, no, no" Zhang Fuxiang hurriedly shook his head when he heard this, sighed and said: "I always thought that life was very simple, but since the last accident, I have understood that I am not that material." Brother He, you are a master, and you saved my life, originally I shouldn't have refused, but now I have a wife and a young ......"

The godfather smiled and said, "Don't worry, Fuxiang, I didn't even think about pulling you along." Seeing that you are living like this now, my eldest brother is also happy for you. ”

Zhang Fuxiang was relieved, smiled at me awkwardly, and said a little embarrassed: "If Brother He has other instructions, he must do his best as a brother."

"There's something I want to ask you. Godfather said: "To get back to the point, how much do you know about the Baozi Monument?" ”

"The Treasure Tablet? Zhang Fuxiang lowered his head and thought for a while, and muttered: "This is a big name in the local area. It is rumored that the farmer who bought the tofu used it to press the tofu, and it was later brought to the city by the prefect. Don't say it, I really went to investigate before, and it is said that the farmer is a family in a nearby mountain village, which is only about twenty or thirty kilometers away, and the village name is Yang Qitian. ”

Zhang Fuxiang looked at us and said sincerely, "If you plan to find the tomb of Baozi, then I advise you to give up." ”

Then he told us: "From the Qing Dynasty to the present, I don't know how many people have fought the idea of that place. I also went to see it when I first debuted, and you think about it, since the stone monument weighing several tons was found in the local area, the cemetery should not be too far away, right? But almost all the suspicious mountain bags there have been robbed holes, but no one has found the real tomb until now. ”

The godfather listened to Zhang Fuxiang's narration silently and did not express his opinion. The two chatted for a while, and after a while, the godfather took up the teacup and drank it all, pulled me up and said goodbye: "Fuxiang, we still have some things, so don't bother." You can help me get the things on the note as soon as possible, we will stay at the Hongyun Hotel for the next two days, and you can send them over when the time comes. ”

Zhang Fuxiang responded, and when he heard his godfather say that he was leaving, he said unhappily: "Why did you just come and leave, and we will have a meal together." He hugged me warmly: "It's the first time I've met Xiao He, Brother He, you must give me this face and let me do my best to be a landlord." ”

"Fuxiang, we really don't have to be so polite to each other. Seeing that he couldn't resist him, the godfather was no longer reluctant, thought about it and said, "Do you have a pen?" ”

Finding pen and paper, the godfather drew a picture. When I looked from the side, it was the seven-star lantern I saw in the mural. After the godfather finished painting, he handed it to Zhang Fuxiang and said: "You have a wide range of doors, help me pay more attention, and remember to notify me if there is news of this thing outside." ”
