The sun was about to set, but my store still hadn't sold a single thing, and it was the third day that it hadn't opened! Seeing that Sun Jincai's jade shop next door had a lot of goods in a row, my red-eyed problem began to make again.

"Alas, the dwarf winter melon next door has been doing very well recently, did you say that the God of Wealth he invited a few days ago really works, should I also ask one to be put in the store and make one bigger than his!" I said to Shanzi, who was bowing his head and playing with his phone next to me.

He didn't raise his head, his fingers were still touching the phone screen quickly, "I didn't see that I was busy, don't make trouble!" ”

I angrily kicked him, "Still playing, still playing!" Dude, my store is about to close, and you won't help me figure it out! ”

He glanced at me, put his phone on the counter, crossed his hands on his waist and said, "People are selling jadeite, you are selling literature and playing, it's not a good thing at all!" It's like selling cabbage and selling radish, others like to eat cabbage and buy cabbage, what do you sell radish and mix blindly! ”

Shanzi's words are the truth, and they are also good for me, do business, you just can't be in a hurry, especially you can't be angry when you look at other people's business. Shanzi is my best buddy, and he comes to my store to play when he has nothing to do these days.

He continued: "You said that when you were in school, you originally studied international trade, but later you had to change your major to study some bullshit history; After graduating from college, I put a good unit and don't go to work, so I have to start my own business; What about now, I sell turnips and envy others who sell cabbage! ”

"You think I'm willing, it's not because my grandfather asked me to change my major when he left!"

As soon as I said this, I was angry, my grandfather was an ordinary member of the archaeological team, extremely loving his work, hoping that his son would inherit his father's business, but my father did not study well, and he didn't even get a high Chinese certificate. Who knew that his old man's last wish was to let me change my major to history!

"If you don't talk about me, you're not as good as me! Lao Tzu at least has a shop, what about you? For the little girl in her own unit to fight with others, they went to the hospital, you lost your job, your girlfriend ran away, and you lost a lot of money, it's not the same as coming to me every day! I yelled at him angrily.

At this time, my phone rang suddenly, I glared at him, reflexively walked back to the counter, looked down, it was an unfamiliar number, I picked up the phone, lazily pressed the connect button.

"Hello, who?" I asked politely.

"It's you when you hear it, and your voice hasn't changed! Where? A deep voice came from the other end of the line.

I quickly searched for a familiar voice in my mind, and before I could react, I spoke again: "Ding Jia, I haven't seen you for ten years, and you can't even hear my voice?" ”

"Oh! Old butt, is it really you? Where are you, how did you remember to call me? "I was pleasantly surprised, we hadn't seen each other in a long time.

"I'm at the airport, just arrived."

"I didn't say hello before I came, I'll pick you up!"

"Don't pick it up, you can help me book a hotel, and by the way, I have to stay for a few days."

"Okay, no problem! Alas, you have been abroad for so many years, why did you suddenly come back? ”

"Let's talk carefully when we meet!" With that, he hung up.

I quickly closed the door of the store, took Shanzi to book a hotel for Lao Buttock, and then explained to Lao Buttock, and began to sit in the hall and wait for him with Shanzi.

I told Shanzi that the old buttocks were small because I was young, and when he was a child, his buttocks were round and big, so we nicknamed him the old buttocks. At that time, as long as I was fighting with others, the old buttocks were always the first to rush up to help me, and then beat the other party down very neatly, but when he was young, he shot very hard, and once broke the bridge of someone's nose.

Shanzi glanced at me disdainfully, "It's really fake, I have the opportunity to practice with him." ”

To tell the truth, Shanzi is an aggressive bull, when he and I were in college together, from freshman to senior, he beat the invincible opponents all over the school, and people gave him the nickname "Heads-up King", if he really made a move, there were only two ways to make him stop: first, he beat the other party down, and second, the other party beat him down.

About half an hour later, a man came in the revolving door of the hotel lobby, he was tall and powerful, dark-skinned, with short hair, a casual jacket, and a large suitcase.

"Old butt!" I jumped up from the couch with joy and strode over him.

The old buttocks also saw me, let go of the handle of the suitcase and ran over, the two of us first had a big hug, and then shook hands tightly, the old buttocks happily showed a mouthful of white teeth, and said with a loud smile: "Comrade Ding Jia, still so handsome!" Hahahaha! ”

I also slapped him on the shoulder, "Don't you do the same, it's still a bison!" ”

Shanzi also got up from the sofa, I introduced the two of them to each other, and then took the old buttocks to the guest room to settle down and put away their things, and then came to the hotel private room.

I talked a lot with my old butt, he went to the United States after graduating from college, we usually only talked a few words on MSN, he has been working in a trading company, but as for why he returned to China this time, he didn't say much.

The meal lasted nearly two hours, and when Shanzi and I were about to go back, the old buttocks grabbed me and said that I had something to talk to me about, and Shanzi did drink a lot of wine, so he went back first.

I went to his room with my old butt, and he opened the door and let me go in first, then stretched out his head and glanced twice into the hallway, and closed the door nervously.

"What are you doing, like a thief?" I shouted.

"Shh The old buttocks put his fingers on his lips and motioned for me not to be so loud.

I walked into the room, reclined on the bed, sat on the sofa, he handed me a cigarette, lit one himself, and then said to me with a solemn face: "I came back this time to ask you for help." ”

"What's the matter?" I asked him with a squint, and to be honest I was a little sleepy.

"Are you familiar with the history of the Qin Dynasty?" The old buttocks took a puff of his cigarette.

"Nonsense! Lao Tzu specializes in history! I said angrily, "But I am very interested in the history of the Qin Dynasty!" ”

He flicked the cigarette ash with his hand, "Okay, then let me ask you, how much do you know about Xu Fu?" ”

"It's simple, Xu Fu was a monk at that time, Qin Shi Huang just believed his words, thought that there were immortals on the sea, there was an elixir, and gave him a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry and three thousand boys and girls to find medicine, and finally Xu Fu ran away, and later said that he went to the island of Japan." I took a smirk of my cigarette.

"Do you know where the treasures that Qin Shi Huang gave him have gone?" The old buttocks then asked.

"Then I don't know, it's been more than 2,000 years. Besides, it's still uncertain whether these things are true or not. I felt a little nervous in my old buttocks, "Are you crazy about money, don't tell me that all those gold and silver treasures are under your bed!" ”

"Okay, then I'll tell you now, I'm looking for these treasures when I returned to China this time, do you believe it?" The old buttocks looked me in the eye, and I didn't answer his words for a while, and I looked into his eyes and shook my head.

The old buttocks smiled slightly, stood up, and paced around the room. "Do you know what Tufuzi does?"

"You know, the Internet is full of tomb robbery novels now." I paused, "You're back to rob the grave?" ”

"No, no, no!" The old buttocks shook like a rattle, and he extinguished the cigarette in the ashtray.

"Have you heard of the Four Golden Beasts, they are the four industries?" He dangled his fingers around in front of my eyes with four small mallets.

"Nope." My head shook like a rattle.

"A golden beast, Tufuzi, everyone in our industry calls them earth rats, who specialize in dealing with the dead and robbing tombs; The two golden beasts, the dragon that turned over the river, specialized in salvaging ancient shipwrecks, picking gold and silver; The Three Golden Beasts, the Transoceanic Eagle, specialize in finding and digging pirate treasures; The four golden beasts, the pangolins, are us. ”

The old buttocks said and pointed to himself, "I am specifically looking for the treasures of the nobles and dignitaries of the ancient palaces at home and abroad." The old buttocks finished in one breath and continued to look at me.

I didn't react, I didn't react at all.

"The trading company I had in the U.S. was actually a pangolin, and I worked for it when I first arrived, and over the years, they thought I was a reliable and loyal person, and I was a good person, so they joined their circle. I returned to China this time because I am Chinese. "The old buttocks are a little proud.

"What happened to the Chinese?" I was surprised.

"Chinese are familiar with China." He got up from the couch, turned and walked to his suitcase, unzipped it, carefully pulled a piece of paper out of the compartment inside, and reached out to hand it to me. I opened it and looked, "Map of the Qin Dynasty!" ”

"In 219 B.C., Qin Shi Huang toured Shandong for the first time, first carried out the Zen ceremony in Mount Tai, came back and passed by the current Longkou, heard that Xu Fu was a very powerful monk, so he summoned him." The old buttocks lit another cigarette.

Xu Fu lied to Qin Shi Huang that there were three sacred mountains in the Bohai Sea, which contained immortals and elixirs of immortality, so Qin Shi Huang believed it and asked him to find medicine. Later, Xu Fu came back and said that he had seen the gods, but he asked for a large amount of gold and silver treasures and three thousand boys and girls as gifts, and Qin Shi Huang also gave them; Ten years later, Qin Shi Huang made his third trip to Shandong, Xu Fu lied to him that the sea god sent Da Jiao to protect the sacred mountain, and still needed treasures to pay tribute and kill Jiao's artifact, Qin Shi Huang approved it again, and then Xu Fu escaped by boat, and there was no more news. These things that Qin Shi Huang gave to Xu Fu were actually hidden by Xu Fu in Bohai Bay! "The old buttocks are vibrating.

"It's made up, you believe it." I sneered slightly.

"Don't forget what I just told you, we are pangolins, we specialize in this, and without exact information, I will not come all the way back to China." The old buttocks said firmly.

"All of our information was bought at great expense from a huge historical research institute around the world, which specializes in the world's treasure troves and shipwrecks, tombs and so on."

"This kind of organization must be illegal, doesn't anyone care?" I'm still very skeptical about the veracity of my ass's words.

"You think this is an illegal organization, haven't you heard of 'collusion between officials and bandits'?" He said this calmly.

I've already been a little convinced, "But why don't the historical research institutes find these things themselves?"

"Good question, this is like gambling stones, the person who sells the stone has such a piece of jadeite rough in his hand, but whether it can be opened in the priceless good jade, then no one can be sure, so the stone is directly sold, what is inside, it depends on the luck of the buyer."

I understand, by selling information to make a profit, it seems that the information of this agency must be more accurate, otherwise no one will spend money to buy it.

"Oh, then how can I help you, what do you need me to do?"

The old buttocks' eyes lit up, "I need you to go with me, because we don't know much about the Qin Dynasty, and the history of the Qin Dynasty is too mysterious, so there is too little useful information that the research institute can find." ”

"I haven't done your job, but it sounds exciting." I scratched my head with my hand.

The old buttocks laughed: "Ding Jia, this job is very simple, you just need to follow me, I guarantee that you can earn a big vote, with me, good things are indispensable to you!" ”

"Can I still divide the money?" My eyes widened, "How many?" ”

The old buttocks laughed, "After this ticket, you can buy a villa, how many do you say!" ”

"So much!" I can't even close my mouth.

"When did I lie to you!" After the old buttocks finished speaking, he suddenly became serious again, "This trip must be very dangerous, it's best to find a caring brother to follow." ”

"Shanzi is fine, my old iron, don't worry, your skills are not much worse than yours! He basically agreed with what I decided. ”

"Good! That's it! The old buttocks slapped his two big hands.

"When will you leave and where will you go?" I asked him curiously.

"Listen to my arrangement, anyway, it's only a few days, and then let you and your Shanzi brothers see the real guys from two thousand years ago." After the old buttocks finished speaking, he tilted his head back, took a deep breath of cigarette, and spit out a smoke ring from his mouth, which slowly floated upward, like a trap, but finally dispersed.
