Chapter 42: The Point of No Return (I)
But the sheep and the two eggs want to go, under the repeated questioning of the old sheepskin, I learned from his mouth that there was a group of mud tomb robbers in the area of the Daxing'an Mountains, they belong to a group of loose thieves, that is, bold, evil, dare to dig anything, but I don't know how to find those unmarked tombs. The sheep and eggs have more eyes than the old sheepskin, and they have more skills to learn.
After being introduced by others, I moved evil thoughts and thought that people would be muddy. At that time, the Ni'er Club was in need of people like Yang Erdan, whether it was a woman or money, how much he wanted, the most important thing was to let him sit on the top spot and deliberately welcome him. In the past, Yang Erdan has always looked at other people's faces, and he has lived low for so many years, perhaps because he has lived at the bottom of the society for too many years, so he himself doesn't even have the courage to break into the world, and he was smoked by the good words of the people of the Ni'er Society, and he couldn't even find the north.
The old sheepskin only has this one brother, and he sees him more than his own life, and he has no other way to follow him to the three eastern provinces, and he is the "understanding bureau" of the mud club, which is probably equivalent to a modern technical consultant.
Don't look at the old sheepskin and the sheep and the second egg are the brothers, but the personality is completely different, the sheep and the second egg are more ambitious, and the old sheepskin is timid and afraid, just want to live in peace, not only that, the old sheepskin also respects ghosts and fears God, and superstitious ideas are deep-rooted, but the so-called "afraid of ghosts do not rob tombs, rob tombs are not afraid of ghosts", with his character is really not suitable for doing "inverted fighting" and "fierce" This kind of business.
The so-called "fierce skull" refers to a kind of trick that tomb robbers usually cover people's ears and eyes, tomb robbers get all kinds of valuable burial goods in ancient tombs and deserted tombs, and need to trade and find a purchase price, the old social means of communication are relatively backward, and the pace of life is slow. In order to facilitate the contact with buyers and expand the scope of business, it is necessary to use the "two disguises" on the underworld, where tomb robbers do business, do not open antique shops, but specialize in all kinds of funeral supplies, such as paper horse incense bills burned to the dead, including paper people, paper horses, paper cows, paper houses, paper sedan chairs, and so on. Anyway, it's all things that can be used in the underworld.
Ordinary funeral supplies store pรน has a word difference with it, called "fierce", the kind of shop opened by tomb robbers, but it is different from the general paper shop, the previous business shop has a disguise, hanging in front of the door, so that people can know at a glance what kind of goods are operating in this store, tomb robbers open a paper shop, must hang a string of white paper money on the cover, a total of seventy-two pieces of paper money, into the number of the earth. There are always embossed fierce marks on the paper money, and serious businessmen, even if they also sell paper horse incense. Nor will it hang such an unlucky paper money on the guise, where there are 70 pieces of paper money, this shop is called "fierce" by people who know the industry, even if it is not opened by tomb robbers, at least it is a place to sell stolen goods to tomb robbers.
"Inverted bucket" craftsmen, every time they work is to sweep the hole, as the saying goes, "thieves come like shaving", all the things in the tomb are swept away. Even the things in the dead man's dung door are not let go, those valuable Ming utensils are very easy to sell, and some bits and pieces, or some Ming utensils do not find a suitable buyer for a while, they are all classified as "fierce", and every three or five times, there are some merchants who pour antiquities and come to buy. During the negotiation, there was a black language exchange in secret words, and the paper horse incense in the store was completely empty, but for most people who didn't understand these doorways, they couldn't see it at all.
The thief surnamed Chen, he opened a number of "fierce houses" in Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces, reselling Ming utensils in private, the old sheepskin made a cabinet for him, and the result was almost not scared to the root of the disease, the Ming utensils in the ancient tombs, obscure and long-term accumulation, the corpse smell is difficult to get rid of, and some of the Ming vessels often happen some inexplicable strange things, the old sheepskin is not the material for this line of work at all, and then followed his accomplices to rob the tomb and dig the grave, but also encountered a lot of terrible experiences, these are not his psychology can bear.
After the whereabouts of the thief surnamed Chen were unknown, the old sheepskin planned to use the savings saved in the past two years to go to the countryside for a few days to live a peaceful life, hang the black tiger charm, wash his hands thoroughly, and stay away from the real estate industry that deals with dead people all day long, but it backfired, in order to take care of his brother and two eggs, he had to follow him to the northeast to become a "knowing game" of the bandits.
"Mud Er Hui" won over the old sheepskin brothers, let the sheep and two eggs make a big cabinet, not out of sincerity, but to use the two of them as guns, "Mu'er Club" really has the final say, is the "Mr. Tongshuan" in the locks, this person used to be a teacher, dug mud in the river, and also did a fortune teller who ran the rivers and lakes, and he has been wandering for many years, he is well-informed, insidious and cunning, and ruthless, as long as it is for money, there is nothing he dare not do, and this gang of bandits under his hands is not only robbing tombs, There are no less things to do than to lose their conscience, which can be regarded as full of evil.
Mr. Tongsuan and Yang Erdan, with the "mud will be" bandits in the deep mountains and old forests to dig Gumu, digging the places where there may be ancient tombs in the mountains, and then selling the Ming utensils in the tomb, in exchange for money and tobacco, they squandered it, as long as the buyer paid a high enough price, even if it was sold to a Japanese businessman, and he was infamous as a traitor, he didn't care at all, and the people in the silk had a slight objection, he would be conspired by Mr. Tongsuan to lose his life.
The old sheepskin can be seen, and then follow the "mud will be tossed", absolutely not a good end, to hit the wall to persuade the sheep and the two eggs to turn back, but the sheep and the two eggs are obsessed, and they don't take this matter to heart at all, they are determined to go all the way to the black, and become a bandit, eat fragrant, drink spicy, kill men, play with women, smoke a lot, and play old money.
In the winter of that year, there was a Japanese man who came to find Mr. Tongsuan of the "Ni'er Society", and the two of them secretly discussed a heavy plan behind closed doors, it turned out that this Mr. Tongshu resold antiquities, and got in touch with the Black Dragon Society of the Japanese Kingdom, and won the trust of the devils, at that time, the Japanese Kwantung Army was looking for a lost thing in the Chinese people, according to intelligence, which grave could be buried in it, or under the temple stele.
