"Okay......"

After those few pieces of burned paper turned into ashes, the second uncle breathed a sigh of relief, and it seemed that the exorcism was successful.

I also let out a sigh of relief, watching the second uncle reach out to take the tortoiseshell hairpin that had been restored to its original appearance but was brighter than before, just when my fingers were about to touch it, the tortoiseshell hairpin was "snapped" and broke!

"Second uncle! This?! "I looked at the second uncle, and the second uncle's face was full of horror, and it seemed that he never thought that something would break after the exorcism!

"Huh!" The second uncle was stunned for a while, and smiled bitterly: "Why do you want to say goodbye?" Tortoiseshell hairpin behind the ear...... That's it, this may be the destiny of heaven, and it is estimated that the other pair of tortoiseshell hairpins has also been broken. The two of them will never see each other again. ”

The second uncle got up and packed up his things, picked up the tortoiseshell hairpin that had been broken in two from the ground, and beckoned me back to the lounge downstairs.

Lao Wu was chatting with the old monkey about something, and when he saw me coming back with the second uncle, Lao Wu's face showed joy: "Second master? Exorcism became? ”

"It's finished." The second uncle said.

"Great!" Lao Wu said happily: "Then I really have to thank the second master, otherwise...... What are you? ”

Before Lao Wu finished speaking, he saw the second uncle take out the previous check and hand it over, his face changed, and he looked at the second uncle puzzled.

"The exorcism is done. But the object is wasted. The second uncle opened the handkerchief in his hand, and there was a tortoiseshell hairpin lying in it.

"This? Second master? This is?! "When Lao Wu and Lao Monkey saw the broken tortoiseshell hairpin, their eyes were about to pop out!

"I'm sorry, I didn't expect this, maybe I still didn't know much about this thing, ......I didn't expect it" The second uncle apologized and put the check on Lao Wu's wooden chair: "Mr. Wu can make another offer, and I will compensate you." ”

Lao Wu looked at the second uncle, then at me, and finally at the old monkey again, and suddenly laughed and said, "Haha...... That's it! Just a tortoiseshell hairpin, still make me such an evil thing, and if you destroy it, you will be ruined! Anyway, my life will be back to normal in the future! I feel like I want to eat right now! Second master, you take this money, no matter what the result of the tortoiseshell hairpin, you have saved my life! ”

Lao Wu said that he returned the check to the second uncle, and the second uncle refused to accept it. Seeing that the second uncle was firm, Lao Wu still took back the check, beckoned someone to get a table of delicious lunch, and invited us to eat.

After three rounds of drinking, everyone is also familiar with each other's friends, and it is no longer taboo to mention the tortoiseshell hairpin that was broken just now - of course, the second uncle told Lao Wu that because the fracture is very neat, the tortoiseshell hairpin can be repaired by a skilled craftsman, although the value will fall a lot, but it is still a first-class gem.

"By the way, this tortoiseshell hairpin, where did you get it from?" The second uncle asked.

"Just a few days ago!" Lao Wu did recover his appetite, and kept stuffing meat into his mouth: "I went to Jiaozhou with the old monkey to play, the old monkey went to run errands, I was wandering around the market alone, I met a woman, showed me the tortoiseshell hairpin, I fell in love at a glance, although I am not a connoisseur, but at least the truth can still be seen, the price is not too high, so I bought it, the woman saw me so refreshing, did not bargain, and gave me a thing." ”

"This business is really good at doing it!" I laughed and said, "I just don't know if that woman knows how powerful this tortoiseshell hairpin is!" ”

"Then I don't know." Lao Wu gnawed on the leg of mutton in his hand: "After a few days of work after I bought it, I will be half dead." I have no appetite at all, my chest is tight, my whole body is weak, and I have lost more than a dozen pounds in a few days! Just like the second master said, a few days later, it is estimated that I will not even die! ”

The second uncle asked, "What did the woman give you?" Buy one, get one free, this kind of antique business is really rare. ”

"Hey, don't say it!" Lao Wu was excited when he heard this: "Second master, what the woman gave me was a jade pendant, and it was definitely not ordinary, I liked it very much at the time, but I didn't expect that the woman would give it to me before I asked the price!" I'll show you! ”

Lao Wu walked to the side of the hanger, took out the pocket of a coat, took out a golden bag and walked over: "Hey, I often carry it with me, second master, young owner, take a look!" ”

The second uncle took it and opened it, and took out an emerald green jade pendant from it, round, about an inch in diameter, with a dragon on the front and a phoenix on the back, and a line of small characters engraved on the side.

As soon as my second uncle and I saw this jade pendant, our eyes lit up, and then our hearts tightened, and we hurriedly looked at the small characters on the side, and after seeing it clearly, we looked at each other with the second uncle, and our faces were full of surprise.

"Second master? Less owner? Lao Wu saw that the two of us looked a little abnormal, and asked softly, "Is there something wrong with this jade pendant?" ”

"Mr. Wu, what does the woman who gave you the pendant look like?" I asked softly.

"That person still looks quite distinctive." Lao Wu groaned and said: "It looks like he should be in his twenties, and he looks pretty good, but he is too fat, that figure, to say the least, must be one hundred and eighty pounds, and his belly is still big, just like having a basketball in his stomach!" ”

"Hmm......" I glanced at the second uncle: "Second uncle, it's Sun Miaomiao." ”

"Sun Miaomiao?" Lao Wu looked at me and wondered: "The young owner and the second master know this woman?" ”

"Not only do I know her, but I also know the real owner of this pendant!" I said, "This pendant is not hers at all, but another friend of ours." ”

"So, this Sun Miaomiao is friends with you?" The old monkey asked.

The second uncle smiled bitterly: "It's just the opposite, it's a sworn enemy." And the owner of this pendant is a friend who recently disappeared. ”

I nodded, but I also had a general idea in my heart: yes, this pendant belongs to the old clam who just disappeared not long ago. Ever since we first met, I saw the clam wearing a pendant like this around his neck, and I asked him to take it out and look at it. And the second uncle once asked the old clam to take it out and play with it when he went to the antique shop. This dragon and phoenix jade pendant was in the middle of the Qing Dynasty, and it is said that it was once a personal ornament of Baylor, and later came to the hands of the seventh master and was transferred to the old clam.

On the side of the dragon and phoenix jade pendant, the Manchu text engraved is the name of the Baylor, so this dragon and phoenix jade pendant, the only one in the world, is naturally the old clam!

In this way, it was Sun Miaomiao and Chai Lao Wu who took away the old clams, and their purpose was also very clear, that is, for the dragon carved jade plate in our hands! I also wonder if that's the case, are they also doing the things that have happened recently, including those that have happened before?

But after thinking about it, I also felt that it was wrong-because even if it was to be kidnapped, wouldn't it be better to kidnap Su Xiao or Chu Ying? The old clam is the closest to the seventh master, and the second uncle and I can completely ignore the old clam. Is it to make us have a conflict with the Seventh Master because of the dragon carving jade plate? But this is not good for getting the dragon carved jade plate......

After thinking about it, my head became a mess.

After lunch, I returned to the antique shop with my second uncle and the old monkey, and the old monkey said that there was still something to do, so he said goodbye and left. I sat in the living room with my second uncle, looking at the dragon and phoenix jade pendant on the table.

"Second uncle, I can't figure it out, why did Sun Miaomiao kidnap the old clam?"

The second uncle was stunned for a moment, and raised his eyes to look at me: "Who told you that the old clam was kidnapped by Sun Miaomiao?" ”

"Although it doesn't make sense, but this jade pendant ......" I pointed to the jade pendant on the table and smiled bitterly: "I think that if the person who kidnapped the old clam is the same person as the person who has committed these recent murders, I believe it will be Sun Miaomiao and them." But if you deduce it backwards, you really can't get it back. Their goal is just the dragon carved jade plate in our hands, kidnapping the old clam, isn't it a sword to go sideways, and this is an extra move? ”

"You have figured it out, don't have to put this hat on Sun Miaomiao's body." The second uncle smiled: "However, I think Sun Miaomiao is very likely to know the person who kidnapped the old clam, so the things on the old clam came from there." In the whole of Jinan, no, in the whole of China, there are only a few that can exorcise evil spirits, and Sun Miaomiao and they know us so well, they will definitely think that this jade pendant will be seen by us. ”

"What about ......," I muttered, "they're just trying to add a bargaining chip?" ”

As soon as the words fell, there was a familiar burst of laughter outside the door, and my second uncle and I turned our heads to look, and saw Chai Lao Wu, who was wearing a towel and holding a smoking gun, walked in with a smile on his face, Sun Miaomiao, and Zhou Jun: "The young owner has analyzed it well!" However, this jade pendant is not a bargaining chip, we are just teasing you! Hmph......haha"
