Chapter 1 A Long Away Home

The fat man stayed with me in his hometown in the northeast for more than half a month, but in fact, he went out to hunt in the mountains every day, and he didn't stay by my side at all. Now the wild vegetables have spread all over the mountains, and the wild animals on the mountains have begun to come out to feed, so he runs up the mountains almost every day. But this time he learned to be obedient, and every time he went up the mountain, he made an appointment with several people, and only after bringing a few hunting dogs did he dare to go up the mountain to hunt. And don't dare to run too far, whether you hit the prey before dark, you will definitely come back on time.

The mountains of the Northeast are really a good place to contain countless treasures, there are rich mineral deposits buried underground, the mountains are full of precious and rare wild vegetables and trees, the mountains are full of nourishing game, free natural oxygen bar, and the mood is particularly comfortable when standing on the mountain.

I woke up from a coma for more than half a month and found myself as fat as a pig. It turned out that during the days when I was asleep, the fat man either hunted hares or wild geese, and gave me stewed soup to drink every day, which made me a lot fatter.

After waking up, I really don't want to lie on the kang anymore, the excuse of the good name to exercise, every day with the fat man, with the leper and a few village babies, down the river to fish, hunting in the mountains, completely back to the good times of childhood, happy and leisurely for more than ten days. After enough playing, I also succeeded in losing weight and restored my handsome face, so I said to the fat man: "It's not a matter for the two of us to go on like this, the shop and the house in Beijing have to go back to take care of it, I think we will be ready to go back to the capital in the next few days!" ”

The fat man is urgent, and he will leave when he says he will go, and he will resign when he is called to the leprosy boss.

The leper refused to let us go, and persuaded us bitterly: "You two have only come back with great difficulty, and this time you will have to stay for a year and a half before you can leave." If you two go back to the capital now, we won't know when we will see each other again. ”

The leper man and I felt uncomfortable, but there was no feast in the world, and we had already made up our minds to go, so I said to the leper man, "This time we came, too many things happened, and the village was filled with a lot of chaos. It is estimated that if we stay any longer, I am afraid that the village will be harmed by me and return to the pre-liberation period. ”

The leper laughed and said, "Where is there such an exaggeration?" You two came back this time to help the village build a primary school, build a fish pond and build a chicken coop, and the economy of our village will get better and better in the future, so you two simply stay and don't leave.

I said to the leper chief, "We are used to living in the capital, we have a career there, and my master needs us to take care of it. However, the traffic is quite smooth and convenient now, and we will often come back to see the villagers in the future. ”

The fat man exaggerated on the side and said: "In the future, we will come back with my wife and children, and then you have to prepare a big red envelope, I will really be angry without me." ”

After hearing this, the leper nodded with a smile and said "Okay", I saw that his eyes were already red, and hurriedly eased the atmosphere and said, "Call all the brothers tonight, let's get drunk and rest." If anyone is slippery and doesn't drink down, they will be dragged out and fed to the dogs. ”

As a result, I was really drunk, and the fat man and I were drunk, and we vomited a kang from the leper head's house, and we woke up after a day of sleep, and my head still hurt so much that it was about to crack. The heart said: I will never dare to drink with the Northeast people in the future, it is too fierce, and the degree of wine here is too high, a small fever of 60 degrees, they actually drink it like boiled water, who can stand it, and I am already thankful that I can wake up alive.

The next day, the fat man and I carried two sacks of Northeast specialties, full of mushrooms, hazelnuts, pine seeds, wild vegetables and pheasant robe meat, salted duck eggs sticky bean buns, goose meat sticky corn, and a few old hens in our hands, which made me and the fat man look like we went to the city to sell mountain goods. Originally, there were still people who wanted to catch a pig, saying that the pork in the countryside was particularly fragrant and could not be eaten in the city, but I hurriedly refused, I was afraid that they would really let the two of us carry the pig back to the capital.

The villagers drove us into the city on a tractor, and then reluctantly put us in the car, and when the car started slowly and left, they were still waving their hands and shouting that we would come back often.

The two of us stuck our heads out of the car window, shaking our hands while tears flowed, and the hardest thing to let go of was nostalgia. I don't know when we will see each other when we leave?

The fat man and I kept changing various vehicles along the way, and finally returned to the old house in the strange house, and began to be busy with all kinds of trivial things. First of all, the two of us first went to the bathhouse and took a hot bath, until the skin was hot and red, and then began to turn white and wrinkled, and then reluctantly left.

Then the two of us discussed buying a large freezer, so that we could put the two ** bags of specialties brought back from the Northeast, there are really too many things, and if we can't eat them for a while, they will definitely go bad.

The two of us withdrew money from the bank, and then went to the only big shopping mall in the capital, which was full of all kinds of household appliances, and I was dazzled by the fat man, and finally picked a freezer that seemed to have a large capacity, and then paid for it and packed it, and hired someone to send it home.

After the things were bought, I found that the fat man was gone, so I had to look for him everywhere in the mall, saying that this guy really loves to play and disappear.

Finally, I found him at a counter, he was staring at the things in the counter with straight eyes, and when I got closer, I realized that there was a cordless phone "Big Brother" that is very popular in the counter, which can be used to talk on the phone. The salesperson at the counter looked very standard, spoke standard Mandarin, and tried his best to explain the benefits and functions of Big Brother to the fat man, and the fat man listened attentively, completely fascinated, and never took his eyes off Big Brother for a moment.

I pulled the fat man aside and whispered, "Isn't there a fixed landline phone at home?" You're not a big boss in business, it's useless to buy this thing, who can you contact? Besides, you don't know the scope of our business, it has no signal when it goes underground, what is the difference between taking it to the bucket and carrying a piece of scrap iron. ”

The fat man and I spent money like running water, but we only spent it where it was worthwhile, and we didn't waste it at will, so we dispelled the idea of buying a phone in a blink of an eye, and we walked away quickly in the disappointed eyes of the beautiful salesperson.

Returned to the old house, regardless of the sweat on his body, he immediately began to classify and pack up all kinds of Northeast specialties, with a happy smile on his face, these good things can not be bought in the capital, enough for the two of us to enjoy a while of happiness.

Happy enough, we remembered that there was a bright weapon in the backpack that was brought back from the next bucket, how could I forget such an important thing, I laughed and scolded the fat man and said: "You foodie, just take care of what you eat, and forget all the gold." The fat man smiled and replied, "You won't be any better there." ”

The fat man took out a gold jar from his backpack, which contained gold melon seeds and gold coins, and we planned to let it out and sell it directly in the antique store. I still have a porcelain box in my backpack, and I haven't had time to open it, but now that I have time, I put the secret color porcelain box on the table. The fat man looked at the flat porcelain box and said: "This box is very good-looking, but it is too flat, and it is estimated that it can't contain any good things." I seriously doubt that there will be a few pieces of expired and long-haired dim sum in it. ”

I smiled and said sarcastically to the fat man, "Your mind is full of food." This thing is porcelain, and even if it doesn't contain anything, it's worth more than your gold jar. In particular, this kind of secret color buckle lid porcelain box, only the official eunuchs are qualified to use, you look at the bottom of the porcelain box, "Tang Yue kiln", this is the place where porcelain was made for the palace at that time. ”

When the fat man heard me say this, he looked at the porcelain box on the table with golden eyes, and muttered to himself: "Good girl, such a valuable porcelain box must contain good things inside." After speaking, he immediately pinched the Ruyi lid button on the lid with his fingers, trying to open the lid. However, the lid of the box was glued to the porcelain box, and it was impossible to take it off.

I said to the fat man, "Don't be busy, I've already tried." There is a mechanism inside the box, which cannot be opened lightly. After speaking, I pointed to the three round holes of different sizes on the side of the lid and said: "I guess this is the mechanism to open the box, it should be the keyhole, but we don't have the key in our hands now, and it is easy to lose the porcelain box with external force." I knew it was a chain lock when I looked at the keyhole, but generally the locks are only two jacks, and I don't understand the three jacks here. ”

The fat man put his eyes close to the round hole and said, "This is a family lock for three." ”

I was almost amused by him, but before I could reply, the fat man said to me again, "Hand me the flashlight, and give me a stick, and I'll stick it in this hole, and see if I can pry it open?" ”

I said in my heart that the fat guy's idea was really simple, so I scared him and said, "You are stupid! This is a trap, you mess around, and when you touch the trap, a poisoned arrow flies out, and it can shoot through your head lightly. ”

The fat man snorted and said to me, "You are stupid, such a big box, you can hold poisoned arrows, you liar?" ”

I saw him turn around and get a flashlight, so I said to myself, "I have to stay away, even if an embroidery needle flies out of it, I guess I can't save my eyes." ”

The fat man heard my muttering, and he was a little scared, in case it was really a mechanism like a "pear blossom rainstorm needle", and he must not be shot into a hedgehog.

So, he stopped, turned around and asked me, "Then what can you do to open this box?" ”

I shook my head and said, "How can I have a way, I'm not a locksmith, of course I have to find a capable locksmith who can open this secret box." ”

The fat man gave me a disdainful look, and I was about to speak, when I suddenly heard a knock on the door.

The fat man and I were both shocked, this ancient house is located in the alley, the only import is the back door of the antique shop, and the shop pΓΉ has not yet opened for business, how can anyone enter this deep ancient house without passing through the door of the antique shop?
