Chapter 22: Sir
Maozi's words calmed me down, yes, they want something, but what is it about this thing that can be so valuable? I took the white jade plate out of my bag, and it was still so cold.
I remember when I fell off the boat, I grabbed something in a panic, and when I looked down, it turned out to be the Nanmu card in Liu Siye's neck, and now it was messily wrapped around my fingers.
I sighed, re-tied the broken rope, and hung it around my neck, hoping that when I saw the fourth master again, I could return it to him with my own hands.
I was a little puzzled, and turned my face to ask Maozi: "Why didn't they kill us and take things directly?" Seeing Maozi's dazed face, I waved my hand at him, signaling that he didn't need to answer my question.
Mao Zi docked the boat and dragged me to an antique market next to the pier to ask for information about the mysterious man, and Mao Zi told me that he had never seen this man, but he must have heard his accent local just now.
I hugged the bag tightly, the lives of the five of them were in my hands at the moment, and then I felt uneasy, so I simply took out the jade plate and put it in my arms.
Mao Zi said that if he could inquire about the man's situation, he could think of a suitable way, the Liu family had a lot of power in this area, which could ensure that the five of them were safe and sound, and that things would not be robbed.
I asked Mao Zi to quickly contact Liu Siye's family or friends, but Mao Zi looked embarrassed, "I have always been in one-line contact with Siye, in our industry, this is an unwritten rule." Every time I go to sea, the fourth master looks for me alone, I don't know anything else, and the fourth master doesn't let me ask. ”
"What then?" Linda's helpless eyes appeared in front of me again, I really pity this girl, the man must have taken a fancy to Linda's appearance, as well as the old buttocks and Shanzi, what can I do?
I told Maozi that the two of us should inquire separately, so that we have a better chance of success. Maozi looked at my backpack, I looked at him and roared: "This doesn't know anything, and you're worried that I can take it!" There are still five lives on board! ”
Maozi was frightened by my sudden outburst, he was stunned, and turned his head to leave, I stopped him, left each other's contact information, and sent him to hurry to inquire about the man's news.
I walked alone in an unfamiliar antique market, not knowing who to ask or how to ask, and the whole market was crowded.
Just when I was at a loss, I found a magnificent shop called Yuwatang, which was filled with all kinds of jade.
There was an old man squatting next to the door of Yuhetang, black and thin, dressed in tattered and tattered clothes, with a pair of reading glasses, and a piece of tattered canvas was laid in front of him, and there were a few pieces of old jade on the cloth. The old man and the jade hall behind him formed a stark contrast.
It just so happened that the old man looked up and found that I was staring at his stall, so he happily picked up a piece of old jade and shouted to me: "Little brother, come and see, the things of the Eastern Han Dynasty, look at this blood, it's not done!" Come and see, come and see! ”
I walked over and squatted down, picked up a piece of Kodama and looked at it, "Really?" ”
"Open the door wide, completely rest assured, look at this ornamentation, this moistness." When the old man saw that I had squatted down to look at his jade, he was immediately interested.
"It can't be a ghostly weapon, I don't dare touch this thing." Actually, I don't know much about it, I usually learn it from Sun Jincai's dwarf winter melon next door, it seems that I should thank him.
"This is all a waste of more than ten years ago, at that time, you can still collect some real things, don't care too much about the underworld, as long as the thing is real, you don't have to be afraid to smash your hands at all, and it can make you a lot of money." The old man's eyes sparkled behind his reading glasses.
"Uh, uncle, I want to ask for something." I licked my lips, hoping that the salutation would bring me closer to him.
"Oh, it's not a purchase." He was a little disappointed, "It's okay, you just say it." ”
"Near our Dragon King's Tomb," I thought about it for a while, and simply asked directly, "Are there any robberies that often rob at sea?" ”
"Robbery at sea? Why are you asking this? ”
"Today my friend and I were robbed at sea, I ran fast, but my friend was caught."
"Little brother, call the police!" The old man was in a hurry.
I don't know what to tell him about what happened, and the white jade plate on me.
"Isn't it light to see what you've been robbed?" It's still too old to have a lot of eyes.
"Well, how to put it, I just want to find this group and save my friends."
"I heard that there were robberies at sea, and there were also fatalities, and they robbed some shady things, so no one dared to call the police. As for the rest, I don't know. As soon as the old man finished speaking, my heart chuckled, and I really didn't know if the five of them would be thrown into the sea to feed the fish.
"Little brother, which piece is in the picture, I'll give you a cheap." He still hasn't forgotten about his business.
"Thank you, uncle, I'll go around somewhere else, it's troublesome." As I was about to get up, the old man's eyes were fixed on the wooden sign on my chest.
He suddenly grabbed me, "Little brother, this golden silk nanmu card in your neck is so familiar!" ”
"Oh, a friend's, uncle, do you know?" The old man's words made me a little excited, and I felt that things were starting to turn around.
"What about your friend? Where are you now? The old man asked, and the pair of glasses behind the glasses had begun to glow.
"I was caught robbing today!" I then asked him, "Uncle, do you know him?" ”
"Huh? Then come with me. After speaking, the old man took my hand and walked to the market, shouting into the Yuhetang as he walked: "Xiaohu, come out and pick up things!" ”
At this time, a young man from Yuhetang ran out, with a tiger's head and a strong physique, and shouted while cleaning up: "Mr. Okay, let's get busy!" ”
The old man dragged me through the antique market, and I asked him where he was going, and he said you'll find out in a moment, and help you save your friend. On the way, he met many of his acquaintances, and they were very respectful when they saw him, and one of them asked with great concern, "Sir, why is it so urgent?" ”
He ignored the man, and led me straight to the back of the market, and then through an underground parking lot, and when I came out of the parking lot, I crossed the road and came to the door of a house.
The owner of this house is very particular at a glance, two vermilion lacquer gates, each door has nine hundred and eighty-one copper nails, pepper lock rings, two stone lions stand on both sides of the door, very magnificent, at a glance I thought it was to come to the official palace of that dynasty.
The old man was panting tiredly, and he let go of his hand and walked forward quickly, grabbing the brass ring from the lock and knocking on the door hurriedly.
After a while, I heard the door squeak open, and a young man, about twenty years old, came out, and when he saw the old man, he was happy, "Sir is back!" ”
The old man picked me up again, walked in, and said to the young man as he went, "Little dragon, please come out!" ”
The young man named Xiaolong quickly closed the door, turned around and ran inside.
The courtyard was also carved and painted, and the style was unusual, and before I could see it carefully, the old man pulled me into the hall.
I saw that it was full of antique mahogany furniture, and there were two Taishi chairs in the middle of the hall, and there were three big characters hanging above it: turning the river dragon.
