Chapter 5 Night Market
"Clip the horn"! I read out the words on the human skin drawings aloud, second uncle, didn't you say that this human skin drawings have been put for 1,200 years, how can there still be modern Chinese characters, could it be that someone could write modern simplified Chinese characters 2,000 years ago?
The second uncle shook his head helplessly, can't you see that those words were added later?
I suddenly had the urge to shoot myself to death, how could I ask such a stupid question, second uncle, what do you mean by this horn?
The second uncle also glanced at those words before he spoke: The person (cap man) just now is not simple, the horn is the jargon in our industry, which means that I met a big bucket (a big ancient tomb) that a few people can't take, and then began to send invitations to famous masters in the line, which means that a person pulls a group of people to rob the tomb, and all people have to listen to the arrangement of taking the lead. It's just that I can't figure it out, why did this invitation post come to you?
As soon as I heard it, I immediately slapped the second uncle's sycophant, it must be that the second uncle, your old reputation in the circle is too high, and they can't find you, so they sent me the invitation here.
These few words made the second uncle very happy, and the second uncle wanted to say something, but at this moment his mobile phone rang and pressed the answer button.
As soon as I saw it, I immediately leaned over, and only a hoarse voice came from the other end of the phone, "Dark time, old rules", and there was a busy sound on the other end of the phone.
I asked with a puzzled face: dark moment, old rules. What do you mean? Second Uncle can't be someone who made a mistake, right?
The second uncle explained: It's not a mistake, this is the jargon of our industry, which means that in the middle of the night, see you in the old place.
I said to myself; In the middle of the night, aren't all the shops closed? Is that the kind of place?
The second uncle said speechlessly: What are you thinking about your kid's head? We are talking about the night market, and the second uncle covered his mouth as soon as he finished speaking.
As soon as I heard it, I knew that I had heard my grandfather talk about the night market, because most of the things found in this line were not visible, so a senior came up with a way to trade and sell at a fixed time and place at night, so a kind of atmosphere was slowly formed.
But I have never been to that kind of place, so I inevitably had some curiosity in my heart, rubbed my hands and said embarrassedly: That second uncle, can you always take your nephew to see the world, if someone asks in the future, wouldn't it be good to give you a long face.
The second uncle snorted! I don't know the little ninety-nine in your kid's heart, I know that I shouldn't tell you kid, if you want to see the world, come to this Emgrand Hotel at night to find me!
As he spoke, he walked out, this time I didn't stop him, and soon the second uncle disappeared into my store.
As soon as I saw that I was ready to take an afternoon nap at night, I couldn't sleep after tossing and turning, and my mind was full of the human skin.
Finally, I took out my mobile phone and sent a text message to Matsuko, asking him to help me look at the store for a few days.
Before 5 p.m., I drove my broken public towards the Dorsett Hotel.
I asked the waitress at the front desk, she took me to my second uncle's room and left, I knocked on the door, and it was a fat man who opened the door.
My face was full of doubts, isn't it the second uncle, how did he become a fat man?
Who are you looking for? The fat man looked at me very unpleasantly.
Because he didn't wear a shirt, he exposed his horizontal flesh and a big tiger head tattooed on his chest, so much that he looked like an underworld, he couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, that I am looking for Liu Guodong.
The fat man glanced down the corridor behind me before saying, "Come in, he's inside," and said to get out of the way of his fat body.
As soon as I entered the door, I smelled a very choking smell of smoke, only to see the second uncle shirtless and a few people who were also shirtless sitting on the bed and running fast, I knew that I had lost a lot at a glance, I looked around the room There were a total of 6 people in the room, except for the second uncle and Biaozi, I didn't know the others.
I shouted at a burly middle-aged man: Uncle Biao!
Biao Zi glanced at me and said to the second uncle: Why is the second master Xiaobi here? (Biaozi is my second uncle's brother in life and death, I heard that the second uncle saved him before, and he has been following the second uncle ever since, and he is one of the only few people that the second uncle can trust)
Follow us to see the world, the second uncle answered Biaozi's words, threw the cards in his hand and said: Don't play.
I clearly saw that the faces of those people were a little unsightly, but because this was the second uncle's territory, it was not easy to have a seizure.
The second uncle said, everyone came over to introduce it.
The first one to open his mouth was the fat man who opened the door for me, thanks to everyone's affordability, despicable Xinxiao, people gave him the nickname Buddha, looking at him in a serious introduction, but he betrayed him with a thief's eyebrows, I guess what kind of thief, ruffian, you don't have to pretend to be where to stand directly, I want to laugh when I look at his introduction.
Before I could laugh, a tall and thin middle-aged man next to me couldn't help but laugh, hahaha, Buddha? I said, little fat man, you don't look at your virtue, how many years does it take for country z to have such a look like you.
What Xiao Fat hated the most was that others made fun of his appearance, so he suddenly pulled out a watermelon knife from behind him and rushed towards the tall and thin middle-aged man, but fortunately he was stopped by the second uncle and them in time.
I felt a palpitation in my heart, but luckily I didn't laugh.
Then the tall and thin middle-aged man introduced, my name was Wu Guozhen, and then he retreated, not opening his mouth, probably because he was unhappy about what happened just now, and kept his face black.
The last one was the young man sitting at the head of the bed, he didn't introduce himself, his face was white and pure, his hair was a little long and covered one eye, looming, I looked at him and felt a little familiar, but I never saw him speak from beginning to end, and I didn't want to ask him. Later, the second uncle told me: I only know that everyone on the road calls him Brother Chuan.
I heard the second uncle say that he initiated the horn clamping this time.
The second uncle opened his mouth and said to Brother Chuan, Brother Chuan's action this time, you should give the brothers a thorough understanding, we are so down-to-earth, and several other people also nodded.
Brother Chuan nodded when he saw everyone, "This operation is the underground palace of King Yelang." After saying a word, I didn't see him saying a word until the evening, leaning against the wall in a daze.
Later, the second uncle pulled me aside, you kid must follow me closely after he gets off the ground, those people are all murderous and unblinking, don't provoke them.
The second uncle sighed for a while, in fact, the ancient tomb is not terrible, what is terrible is the human heart.
At least now I don't understand the meaning of the second uncle's words.
At 1 o'clock in the morning, the second uncle woke me up from the bed, aren't you kid going to open your eyes?
As soon as I heard this, I immediately lost my sleepiness, and there were also Xiao Fat and Biaozi with us.
Biaozi drove the car to turn left and right, and finally stopped in a deserted clearing.
I looked around, how come I don't know that there is such a place in Chengdu? I've been there for more than 20 years.
Biaozi took out 2 lanterns and a backpack from the trunk, he carried the backpack on his back, and then handed the second uncle a lantern.
I opened my mouth and said, "Just take this thing, don't you need a flashlight?"
The little fat man said proudly: Little comrade, you don't understand, this is the rule.
The second uncle greeted us and led the way in front.
After walking for a short period of time, I gradually saw some people squatting on the ground in the open space in front of me, and some freshly unearthed soil goods were placed in front of me.
We stopped and stopped all the way, and I pulled my second uncle to stop at a stall and gave him a look.
The second uncle immediately understood what I meant, there are good things.
The second uncle walked over and squatted down to look at the stall in front of him, and there was a porcelain bowl on the stall. He gestured to the black tall man in the stall.
The black tall man also returned him with a gesture, and the second uncle shook his head, and finally stretched out 4 fingers.
I thought to myself 4 thousand? I guess I can still make a lot of money.
The tall black man hesitated for a moment before nodding.
In the end, the second uncle took out 400 yuan from his pocket and gave it to the tall black man.
After the black tall man got the money, he disappeared into the night.
I whispered: Third uncle, you are too dark, this bowl can be sold casually for 40,000 yuan.
You kid thinks it's an auction, and besides, the auction is all for speculation.
This was heard by the fat man next to me, and I found that the way he looked at me changed.
Xiao Fatzi rubbed his hands and said with a wicked smile: Brother Liu, you can also help my little brother and give me some pointers, if you have money, everyone will earn it together.
I thought it would be a good thing to have multiple friends, so I pointed him to another stall.
The fat man ran over, and I saw him holding a jade pendant to bargain with the boss in the black robe, and finally the fat man gritted his teeth and stretched out 5 fingers.
I thought to myself that it would be okay to sell it for 6 or 70,000 yuan, and it would be about the same for 50,000 yuan.
As a result, I saw Xiao Fatzi take out 50 yuan from his pocket, and the boss really sold it to him, I was choked by this scene, and I couldn't speak for a long time.
When the fat man came, I don't even know.
The little fat man said proudly: That little comrade, how much is this jade pendant worth?
I gave him a 5.
Xiao Fat Man saw my gesture and asked "500 hundred"?
I said with a black line on my face: 50,000.
Xiao Fat looked at me with a look of disbelief, little comrade, my fat man is an honest man, don't lie to me.
In the end, the second uncle couldn't stand it anymore and said: It's not too early, let's go buy something to enter the mountain tomorrow.
