In fact, Gao Chao and the fat man chose to take the train instead of taking the plane back to Changsha, which was really helpless, not because the two of them wanted to save money, but because the security check at the airport was relatively strict, and they all had a bunch of antiques in their bags.

However, the two of them were not idle on the train, and they were always discussing about the bronze drum.

The fat man thinks that the way of Lai Central is not simple, although now the grass is like a coward, shoveling the ground and digging graves in the deep mountains of northwest Yunnan, but that can't hide the true identity of the old boy, he is mostly a traditional craftsman who touches the corpse, so his eyesight will not be weak, since he can see this bronze drum at a glance, this bronze drum is really something special, but they couldn't ask from Lai Zhongzhong, so they had to wait until they returned to Changsha, and then the fat man found someone who understood to see.

And along the way, Gao Chao was also wondering about the whole thing, why did this bronze drum fall into his hands? Who is that old grandmother of the Nu clan? Why did she leave the bronze drum behind and leave? Could it be that the reason is not as simple as he imagined, just because this bronze drum is an imitation, it was thrown by the old woman here.

Thinking about it, Gao Chao couldn't think of a reason, but he vaguely felt that there might be a lot of things behind this whole thing that he didn't understand.

The fat man is still relatively optimistic, in his opinion, this is completely superb luck, what to say that it is not easy for the two of them to come out to shovel the ground for the first time, it is estimated that the ancestor appeared, let an old woman who does not understand the market send a piece of dog head gold to Gao Chao, if this bronze drum can really be sold for millions, then he must accompany Gao Chao to go back to Bingzhongluo, to find the old woman, say anything to give her a gold tooth or something.

Twenty-four hours later, the train finally returned to Changsha with Gao Chao and the fat man, as well as the two bags of broken porcelain, and the two of them were tired all the way, so they immediately took two taxis, each went back to their respective homes, each found their own mother, and made an appointment to chat in detail in the hall the next day.

Gao Chao is not small, he has already bought a house outside to live, but his father has not been in good health for the past two years, so in order to take care of his parents, he moved back to live with his parents, but tonight the train arrived at the station It was already more than eleven o'clock at night, so Gao Chao thought that his parents should have fallen asleep at this time, so he decided not to go back tonight to disturb their two elders, and go back to his own house to sleep first, so he told the taxi master to drive to Rui Xiaoxiang, the person who went to Bayi Road.

Gao Chao got out of the taxi, he suddenly felt that the weather was so cold, he shivered from the cold, just now when he came out of the train station, there may still be a hot breath on his body, so he has not felt anything, at this moment Gao Chao couldn't help but sigh, and said that the winter in Changsha and Yunnan Bingzhongluo is really incomparable, although the night is a little cold, but during the day there is still green grass and flowers everywhere in the spring.

So Gao Chao hurriedly got into the corridor with a big bag on his back, walked to the elevator shaft, pressed the elevator button and glanced at his watch, it was just past twelve o'clock in the morning.

"Ding Dong" sounded, the elevator door slowly opened, it was empty, of course, he was the only one to take the elevator at this time, somehow, he suddenly felt colder around, and even the hair on his body stood up, and he couldn't help but tighten his clothes and walked into the elevator with a big bag on his back.

When the elevator doors closed, there was silence.

Gao Chao secretly said that this elevator seems to be different from the past, why is it so quiet, at this moment he can't even hear the sound of the elevator running, could it be that there is something wrong with this elevator?

He was a little panicked when he thought about it, he began to hesitate to press the rescue button in the elevator, but he looked at the elevator button, and then smiled helplessly, he then understood why the elevator was so quiet, it turned out that after he came in just now, he didn't press the floor button in the elevator at all, and the elevator has been stopping on the first floor at the moment.

Gao Chao scolded secretly and was really helpless, could it be that he had been away for too long and couldn't even use the elevator? He had to smile wryly and press the button "18" in the elevator, because his family lived on the eighteenth floor, and this apartment was a full thirty floors, and he lived in the middle.

The elevator slowly went up, stopped with a "ding dong", and when the elevator door opened, there was a sign on the white wall directly opposite, which read "18th floor".

Gao Chao stepped out of the elevator and walked into the corridor with a big bag on his back, the corridor was lined with residences on both sides, and his room was at the end of the corridor, a single bedroom of only 50 square meters, but it was enough for him to live comfortably alone.

Gao Chao found the key to open the door, and the moment the room opened, there was a cold air coming from inside the door, which made him shiver and shiver, he secretly said Why is it so cold in this room, it seems to be colder than outside.

So he hurriedly entered the door and turned on the light, only to find that the window in the living room was open at the moment, and the cold wind was pouring in from the window, the height of the eighteenth floor, the wind was really not small, he quickly closed the door, and then put down his backpack and ran to the window to close the window, only then did he feel that he had not come back to live for a while, and now this room was as cold as an ice cellar, but he couldn't help but feel strange, because he remembered that the last time he left here, the window was indeed closed, not to mention that he usually came back to pick up things, But they never found that the windows were open.

Thinking of this, Gao Chaoxin said that this is really a hell, could it be that someone stole it from home?

So he immediately turned on all the lights in the room, and carefully checked around, but did not find any traces of outsiders coming in, Gao Chao couldn't help but be a little helpless, and said that he may have a nervous breakdown, maybe he opened the window to ventilate when he came back last time, and forgot to close it tightly before leaving.

Thinking like this, he couldn't help but feel that he had always been a little suspicious recently, as if this nerve in his brain had been tightly tense, maybe he should also be like the old lai, to find a "leisure" place to relax, he thought of the old lai again, and couldn't help laughing, and said that the old man may not be able to get up until now, and maybe he can't walk when he gets up, the old boy is really a blessing now, and this has to be thanks to him and the fat man.

Thinking of such a happy thing, he relaxed a little, and when he relaxed, he was sleepy, so he leaned the huge backpack against the corner, and then stripped off his clothes and went into the bathroom, ready to take a pleasant hot bath.

It's really too cold in this room, he wants to make his body hotter, and after a while, he will go directly into the quilt, and sleep on it, anyway, tomorrow is only the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, even if he goes to Tangkou later, it doesn't matter much, after all, there is Xiaoxue, the sister of the fat man, who will help him open the store.

In fact, this is to say, the entrance of the hall of Qingshuitang during the New Year is also to open the door, because there are indeed some people who rush to buy antiques during the New Year, one is that Qingshuitang is originally a tourist area, there will always be some tourists wandering into the hall to hunt for curiosity, there will be tourists who do not know how to buy two things at a high price, and secondly, there are some antique connoisseurs who take advantage of the New Year's just after the New Year, to Taobao in Tangkou, they have a lottery head to worship a New Year, and even bargaining is a lot easier, so like the Qibaoxuan of the superb family, There is also an old hall like the Wanjin Pavilion of the fat man's family, which is naturally still open as usual in the New Year.

At this moment, Gao Chao was taking a hot shower, not to mention how comfortable it was, he was about to fall asleep in this bathroom, but just as he was relaxing and enjoying, he suddenly heard a movement outside the bathroom door, and there was a "plop" sound, as if someone had fallen into his room.

He couldn't help but get nervous again, quickly turned off the rain shower, and quietly listened to the movement outside the bathroom door, but after a while, except for his own heart beating wildly, everything outside the bathroom door was dead.

At this moment, even Gao Chao couldn't help but secretly curse to himself, what the, although he has been a soldier and practiced courage, but how can he always encounter this kind of thing that can make his heart furry and startled.

Although Gao Chao was very nervous, he was quite calm, and he said in his heart that this kind of thing still can't be guarded against, what if he was really targeted by a towman and found his house.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly looked around the bathroom, trying to find a suitable weapon to go out to find out, but after looking for a long time, he found that there was really nothing in the bathroom except for a wooden leather pin, so he scolded again, and had no choice but to pick up the leather pin, and then settled down, opened the bathroom door and rushed out.

The room was so cold that he almost didn't freeze to death after rushing out, only to find that the room was empty at the moment, and there was nothing left except for him who could breathe.

So he looked around, only to find that it was the huge backpack that he had stood in the corner before, and it had fallen to the ground at this moment, and he realized that the "plop" sound just now was actually the sound it made when it fell.

But the strange thing is that the bag fell by itself, and it even broke open the mouth of the backpack, but the broken porcelain and iron in the bag did not fall out, but the bronze drum wrapped in coarse cloth, somehow, is standing quietly on the floor of Gao Chao's house at the moment.
