"Xu He has an elder brother named Xu Sheng, who has been dead for more than 20 years, he was a legend back then......" Shen Yungui finished saying this sentence with a long sigh, and seemed to pour a cup of tea over there, before he said slowly: "You listen to me slowly......"

"I said I wasn't available." Xia Beifeng strangled Shen Yungui to think about the possibility of telling a long story: "And listening to your tone, this is not because of any good things that can be remembered by you, I count five seconds now, if you don't enter the whole again, I don't guarantee that you will be able to dream of something at night." ”

"I'm your uncle's! Can you have a little conscience! After Shen Yungui wailed on the phone, he learned to be obedient and began to tell the story about Xu Sheng and Xu He brothers.

"The Xu family heard that the ancestor was a child of the Eight Banners, and when the ancestor was fighting, the ancestor hid some good things, and later escaped those days and was not discovered. But at that time, as you know, they didn't have good ingredients in the family, and they suffered a lot. Until more than 30 years ago, after the reform and opening up, the two brothers were still singles, and I heard that the poor walls of the family could not block the wind at the beginning. At that time, the antique market was very hot, and they didn't know whether it was really a coincidence or a deliberate story, and suddenly one day they dug up a few pieces of porcelain from the chicken coop in their hometown, and they were all of the same grade as tribute, and sold them to a few foreigners, and they rose to the sky in one step. ”

Shen Yungui turned on the speakerphone, put the phone on the table, picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"No one knows how many pieces of porcelain they have in their hands, and when they sell them, they have been selling them under the banner of tribute used in the Qing Dynasty palace, and it is difficult to say whether it is true or not. According to my master, there is a good chance that the things they took out at the beginning were true, and then they began to adulterate, and in five or six years, there were hundreds of pieces of porcelain sold from them, and it is estimated that there must be no more than 20 genuine pieces. ”

"But what?" Xia Beifeng said in a flat tone: "This kind of thing is generally a but." ”

"Then you have to say it." Shen Yungui stared at the delicate teacup in his hand, and sighed a little: "There are not many people who can hold on after making a lot of money, and the Xu family is no exception." ”

At that time, the control of the antique market was not strict, and in the first few years, many good things flowed abroad through some not-so-bright channels, but soon the supervision began to be strict, and the good days of selling things with a thing were over.

The two brothers of the Xu family are not very bold, let alone fighting to make a fortune from the dead, they are not even frightened to cheat, as soon as they hear that there is something going on, they will shrink back to their hometown, and they will not see anyone for more than half a year.

But after all, there is money, and enjoyment is still to be enjoyed. The brothers are also very good at spending money, or losers, and after making a few big votes, they quickly found the best hobby to spend money on.

Xu Sheng raised a few women at the beginning, and he kept giving big money and small money every day, and it was said that he could live in the same place for half a month in a row (the body is really good - Xia Beifeng said). At last he met a beautiful woman of the best and plunged headlong into the gentle country of that woman. Not only did she disperse the warblers and Yanyan around her for this woman, but she also followed the woman in and out of various occasions all day long.

The woman always ignored him, didn't let him get started easily, but she didn't explicitly object to him following her, but instead introduced him to many "big brothers who are full of words".

Xu Sheng was fascinated by this woman. However, in half a year, he spent the family money he had saved in the past few years for this woman, and he also became addicted to drugs with her, and he was drunk with a group of drug sellers all day long, drunk and dreaming of death, and even forgot what his name was.

As for Xu He, his life is much simpler, and it can be summed up in just one word.

Bet.

If you want to go into more detail, it's almost that he is too good at gambling, whether it is a roadside dice to guess the size, a small mahjong for a dollar, or a casino that can throw millions of dollars into one night, he doesn't care.

Anyway, as long as you can play.

The two brothers gambled and took drugs, and it didn't take a few days to spend all the money they had earned in the past few years.

I still owe a lot of usury.

Until the door was blocked by the debt collector, they still didn't react to what was going on.

"So what the hell is going on?" Xia Beifeng lit a cigarette a little irritably, looked at the gradually darkening sky outside the café, and asked Shen Yungui.

"They were calculated." Shen Yungui sighed, refilled the already empty teacup with tea, blew the tea leaves floating on the water, and said slowly: "The one who took Xu He to the casino is the woman Xu Sheng has been chasing, and she is also instructed by others to cheat the Xu family's treasure at the bottom of the box." ”

The Xu brothers pressed the treasure at the bottom of the box, and many people actually knew about it.

The brothers often boasted to each other when they drank too much, and more than once mentioned that the large vase, which was half a man high, was said not to be porcelain, but a whole piece of Hetian jade, which was hidden in the back mountains of their hometown, and they refused to sell it no matter how much it was.

The two brothers were not moral in business, and the reputation of the liar has always been greater than the few genuine items they once sold, so most of the people who heard this drunken talk laughed at it when they wanted to make up a good thing to deceive people.

But after all, there are still people who take this as true.

When Xu Sheng was asked out by the woman to say that he had something, he thought that he had finally seen the moon and the moon, but when he arrived at the hotel he had made, he saw a room of men and his younger brother who he hadn't seen for a long time - Xu He.

When the man known as the fourth brother counted his fingers on the two of them and calculated how much money the two of them owed, Xu Sheng realized that he was probably in trouble.

"Bring me the bottle you said, and I'll let you go."

The fourth brother just said this, then waved his hand, let go of Xu He, who was beaten and covered in injuries, and turned around and entered the inner bedroom with the woman in his arms.

"Wait, who is this fourth brother?" Xia Beifeng felt that his brain was a little insufficient: "Can you explain all the characters before telling the story?" ”

"The fourth brother is an unlucky guy, not a major character, you don't care too much about these details." Shen Yungui seemed to be very dissatisfied with the fact that his words were interrupted: "This guy used to be a character, but then he received something not very good, and he was scared to death in his bed in the middle of the night, you know that there is such a person." ”

"Oh, okay, you go on."

Regarding that bottle, after Xu Sheng and the fourth brother died, no one had heard of this thing from Xu He's mouth.

To this day, no one knows whether that thing really existed, or if it was just something that the Xu brothers made up to brag about.

According to the people involved in this matter, the so-called "Hetian jade bottle" was not actually handed down by Xu Jiazu, but Xu Sheng went to the mountains to play alone when he was a child, and saw it in a cave after he got lost.

Of course, these words are all paraphrased by Xu Sheng, and whether they are true or false remains to be verified.

It is said that Xu Sheng stayed alone on the mountain until the second half of the night, and fell into a hole in the ground with one foot. He saw many treasures in the cave, gold, silver, and jewelry. Among them is the bottle he often mentions when he brags to people.

When he saw the bottle, there were several lotus flowers in the bottle, some pink, some blue and some white, and the fragrance of the lotus filled the whole cave, even making him think that he was dreaming.

Later, a young man came out of the cave, and after asking him what his name was, and where his home was, he said that he would take him out.

Xu Sheng was still young at that time, and he didn't notice anything wrong with the young man, his mind was full of not eating for a day, and he shouted at the young man that he was hungry.

Then the young man reached out and scooped up the bottle, grabbed a handful of lotus seeds, and fed them to him.

When he had finished eating, he fell asleep, and when he awoke, he had reached a village not far from the mountains.

At that time, he slept at the entrance of the village, and was seen by the village people who got up early to work, asked him where his home was, and then took time to send him home.

As for the caves and young men he saw on the mountain, the people in the village refused to believe a word, except that he had lost his way and fainted from hunger, and what he had seen in his dreams.

Originally, this thing sounded quite unreliable, if it weren't for the night he went missing, Xu He, who was sleeping at home, had a dream that was exactly the same as what he saw, he might have forgotten about it in a few days.

But Xu He actually dreamed of the exact same thing, and this thing sounded a little evil.

What's more, the jade bottle was so beautiful that many years later, Xu Sheng still remembered it.

It's just that what I didn't expect was that 0 was just a legendary story of bragging on the wine table, but it was taken seriously, and now they are really asked to find this thing.

This is very embarrassing, after all, Xu Sheng himself can't be sure whether he really saw something one day, or if he just had a bizarre dream.

"I guess, these two people will definitely not be stupid enough to tell the fourth brother directly." Xia Beifeng interrupted Shen Yungui's words again: "If I were the fourth brother, when I heard this, I would probably call someone to drag the two of them out and beat them to death." ”

"You're so brutal, no wonder you're not a big hooligan." Shen Yungui was very disdainful of Xia Beifeng's speculation: "The fourth brother is also a big brother in the rivers and lakes with more than a dozen people under his command, how can he drag people out and beat them to death for no reason, isn't it just that he owes some usury, at most he can cut off two hands, you have to be generous, do you know?" ”

"I probably know, so what did those two say to the fourth brother to make the fourth brother give up the idea of cutting off his hands?"

"They said that the bottle was not taken as soon as they wanted, but placed in an ancient tomb that Xu Sheng inadvertently broke into, and if they wanted the bottle, the two of them would definitely not be able to."

"I knew it."

Hearing this answer, Xia Beifeng didn't even have the slightest emotion of surprise or surprise.

"Then it's your turn, isn't it?"

"That's pretty much it......"

The fourth brother listened to Xu Sheng's words, and was still a little hesitant. He was interested in the bottle at first, that is, to make it fresh, and he didn't lose anything after such a long layout, and even made a lot of money. If it weren't for the fact that the two brothers of the Xu family were stupid and had a lot of money, they wouldn't have fallen into the pit so easily.

Now he suddenly said that he had to go to such great lengths to turn over the ground for a bottle that had disappeared, and he didn't think it was worth it.

But after listening to Xu Sheng's exaggerated descriptions of the other things in the cave, the fourth brother still decided to find a few people to explore the place.

He gathered a few friends who knew him, and after discussing the division, he asked a few people to follow the Xu brothers to the mountains to find the so-called ancient tomb that "can be seen when you step on it".

When these people arrived in the mountains, they originally wanted to go to the village where Xu Sheng was found to have a look, but they didn't expect that as soon as the people in the village heard that they were looking for some ancient tomb in the mountain, they summoned the men of the whole village without saying a word and beat them out.

So these people had to find it themselves.

The brothers of the Xu family originally made up nonsense to say that there were ancient tombs in this mountain, and they had no hope of finding anything at all, and they only thought about delaying it for a day, and maybe the fourth brother would forget about them after a while.

"It turned out that they had found the tomb." Shen Yungui raised his voice violently, slapped the table and shouted.

"What are you smoking!" Xia Beifeng spoke slightly away from his ears when he spoke on the phone, and looked at the mobile phone screen with great disdain, as if he hoped that his emotions would be conveyed to Shen Yungui on the other side of the phone along the airwaves: "Shocked, can you say it well, what happened later?" ”

"If you find it, you can find it, then you must go in and take a look." Shen Yungui drank all the tea that had been cold in the teacup, wiped the corners of his mouth, picked up his mobile phone and said to Xia Beifeng: "That ancient tomb is said to be quite evil, a group of people went down and none of them came up, only Xu He, who stayed on it and waited, and the two young people who watched him and waited for the people below were alive, and the others were all trapped inside. ”

"It's as simple as that?" Xia Beifeng asked with some surprise: "There was so much foreshadowing before, and the ending is so simple?" ”

"Because no one knows what's going on underground." Shen Yungui said helplessly: "Xu He has not completely left this circle all these years, he has been making money by selling fakes, and occasionally picking up some black goods dug out of the ground, he does have a way to sell them at a low price." I've been mixed for most of my life, I'm very cautious, I can't wait to lie on you and suck your blood when I collect something, and I deserve to not even marry a daughter-in-law! That's it! A few years ago, he really made a name for himself and made a fortune, which is unfair! ”

Shen Yungui complained indignantly for a while, and then said to Xia Beifeng again: "According to what you said before, Xu Tianyang and Xu He's hometown is where you are staying now, then they may want to find the ancient tomb of the year, I heard that the pattern of the double dragon grabbing the pearl was tattooed on Xu Sheng's body at the beginning, and now it is not uncommon for it to be on his son." ”

"Xu He won't go down down to the bottom himself?" Xia Beifeng asked with some surprise: "His nephew's yin qi is so heavy, you actually told me that he has never really gone down, think about it yourself, do you think it is possible?" ”

"It sounds a little impossible, but have you ever thought that it may be that Xu Tianyang himself is not clean, anyway, as far as I know, Xu He really doesn't dare to go down. I've been in contact with him a few times, and the expression on his face is distorted every time he mentions the dead in the tomb. ”

Shen Yungui paused for a while, didn't hear Xia Beifeng's answer, thought that he didn't believe his words, and suddenly felt a little weak.

After grinding for so long, I ended up telling a story of anticlimactic snakes, Xiaobei won't do anything to me.

While recalling if there was anything missing in his story, he waited for a while in fear, but he still didn't hear Xia Beifeng speak again.

But it was he himself, who really remembered something that had been overlooked before.

"Xiaobei, I seem to remember, I told the brother who was waiting with Xu He before that time, and in the end, Xu Sheng still came up, but he is no longer human. I heard that someone gouged out his eyes, and the skin on his whole body was ripped off.

I heard that Xu Sheng was covered in blood and had climbed to the entrance of the cave, but he was caught by something unknown at the entrance of the cave, and he kept dragging him down, Xu He and the other two people couldn't drag him back, so they could only watch him being dragged away by something underground, there was no way at all, and in the end there was still a lot of blood. ”

"It sounds a little painful!" Xia Beifeng grinned, feeling goosebumps on his body: "However, do you really think that Xu He is coming back to find something in that mountain?" The money he has spent in his hometown in the past few years is not to mention a Hetian jade vase, he can buy more than a dozen diamond vases, and he is still thinking about that thing? ”

"Who knows, is there anything else he has here that is worth his effort? I know that Xu He, but I can't wait to break it in half and spend it, will I be so kind to go back to my hometown to engage in infrastructure construction? ”

"Normally, no." Xia Beifeng speculated irresponsibly: "Maybe he has cancer and feels that his life is short, so he wants to do something good before he dies." ”

"He is very life-sparing, if he really has cancer, he will definitely be treated, no matter how much it costs, as long as he can continue his life. For him, even if he can only lie in bed all day on an oxygen inhaler, as long as he is alive, it is a good thing. ”

"What's the point of living like that, it's better to die sooner."

Xia Beifeng sneered, and then fell into deep thought again.

"Actually, I also think it's unlikely that he will make such a big formation in order to dig that ancient tomb, after all, no one knows how many things are in it, once he digs it out and finds that it is not as much as he spends, won't it be a big loss?" Shen Yungui listened to the silence on the other end of the phone, and said with some doubts: "What is there in the area that is worthy of his ......?"

"What if it's something that money can't buy?" Xia Beifeng said what he had just speculated: "Then there may be something else down there...... Those ......"

"Stop, I see, you don't have to say any more." Shen Yungui interrupted Xia Beifeng's words, and said quickly: "Anyway, I have told you everything I know, it doesn't matter to me how much you can use, what is the purpose of Xu He, you think slowly, I'll have dinner first." ”

After he said this, he hung up the phone cleanly, leaving Xia Beifeng alone with his mobile phone and listening to the busy sound.

"As for being so scared? Don't even say it, how did you have the audacity to touch a corpse before! ”

Xia Beifeng looked at his mobile phone and said in surprise.

The coffee on the table was already cold, and the little couple in the corner had left the café at some point.

The sky outside the window was pitch black.

Xia Beifeng glanced down at the time.

"It's been so long...... No wonder I'm a little hungry too. ”

He whispered to himself, put away the notebook full of words in front of him, drank the coffee left in the quilt in one gulp, and stood up and walked towards the door of the café.

Let's go find something to eat first, don't think of anything else, and starve yourself first.

He opened the door to the café and had just taken a small step outside when he suddenly felt a shock in his heart.

Someone is watching me!
