After returning to Beijing, I didn't see Shirley Yang for a while, perhaps because she was busy looking for a doctor to treat Professor Chen, or maybe she was taking care of the aftermath of the victims. This time, many people died in the archaeological team, and of course the relevant departments wanted to investigate, and I was afraid that someone would find out that he was a captain who touched Jin, so I tried to avoid the important and trivial, and I did not tell the truth. Entering the desert to go to archaeology itself has a great danger factor, but four people died at once, a teacher and three students, and a crazy professor, which was also a serious incident at the time.

Talking is restless. Let's say that one day the fat man found two sweet girls to dance, let me go with me, I had nightmares all night and all night a few days ago, and my head hurt, so I didn't go with them, and lay alone in bed. Suddenly there was a knock on the door, I got up from the bed with a promise, and scolded in my heart, grandma, probably someone came to investigate the situation again.

When I opened the door, it was Shirley Yang, who I hadn't seen for many days, and I quickly invited her into the house and asked her how she found it, and Shirley Yang said that it was the address given by the big gold tooth.

I wondered, "Do you know the Great Golden Tooth?" ”

Shirley Yang said: "Even if I know each other, I don't know each other very well. In the past, my father was very fond of collecting antiques and had some business with him, and Professor Chen was also an acquaintance of him. I came to you today to give you and the fat man's money, and in two days I am going to take Professor Chen abroad for treatment, and I have to check some things during this period, and we will not meet again for the time being. ”

I didn't expect it anymore, but now when I hear her say that she wants to give money, it is really a surprise, and I have to pretend to be polite on the surface: "I'm going back to China?" Is Mr. Chen getting better? I was going to see him. You see how inappropriate it is that you still withdraw money. We didn't do much to help, we just made a mess for you, and you Americans are not rich, really, are you giving cash? ”

Shirley Yang put the money on the table: "The money is to be paid, it has been said in advance, but ...... I wish you could promise me one thing. ”

I don't think well, I'm afraid this girl wants to take revenge on me, maybe she wants to dig out my old bottom again, thinking about countermeasures in my heart, and said perfunctorily: "What can you ask me for?" It seems that rich people also have troubles, so you don't want me to help you spend money, do you? ”

Shirley Yang said: "You and the elders in my family can be regarded as peers. At the beginning, my grandfather washed his hands in a golden basin and no longer made a living in an inverted fight, because the business of touching the golden lieutenant was extremely damaging to yin morality, and no matter how hard his life was, it was inevitable that there would be accidents. I hope that you will stop here in the future, and stop doing things like this, and that you can come to the United States when you have the opportunity in the future, and I will arrange for you to ......."

When I heard this, I felt that my heart was not very smooth, the American girl wanted me to throw myself under her, and mix with her in the future, but I Lao Hu also served as a company commander, what can I do under the fence, not to mention begging for a woman, then in the future, I will not follow her everywhere, what is the meaning of being a man, so I interrupted her words: "Good intentions are accepted." But you only know one thing, you don't know the other. It is not very good to touch the profession of Captain Jin, but ** teaches us that everything has its two sides, good things can become bad things, and bad things can also become good things, which is called dialectical materialism. Now that you know that I'm a backfighter, there are some things I won't hide from you. I have principles and a stand, and I will never touch the ancient tombs that have been protected and discovered. Deep in the mountains and old forests, there are large tombs and ruins that no one has found, and there are countless treasures buried in them, which can only be found by those who know the secret art of feng shui, and if they do not pour these buckets, they may always sleep in the ground, and there will never be a chance to see the light of day again. In addition, the change and erosion of the natural environment has also posed a great threat to those ancient tombs that no one cares about, and I see it in my eyes and feel pain in my heart......"

Shirley Yang saw that I was uplifting, and said helplessly: "Okay, I have some kind intentions to persuade you to turn back, but I didn't expect you to be quite reasonable." The inverted bucket is right, I'm afraid there is no second person in the world who can quibble like you. Since you are so backbone, I can't help but be impressed by you, even if I didn't say what I said just now, you must not want to ask for this money......"

I hurriedly pressed my hand to the paper bag containing the money: "Wait, this money is what you lent me...... Interest is calculated at the interest rate of the People's Bank of China. ”

At night, the fat man counted the money one by one under the lamp, and counted it over and over again, but he couldn't count it clearly, and it was no wonder that he was also confused when I saw so much money for the first time.

The fat man simply didn't count, lit a cigarette and said to me while smoking: "Lao Hu, let me tell you what is good about you, you are smart all your life, and you are confused for a while, how can you say that this money is borrowed?" It's a good thing, I still have to repay the interest of the American Nizi, I think it's better for the two of us to withdraw, withdraw to the southern hometown, so that she will never be found, and she will die in a hurry. ”

I said, "You are too unproductive, what is this little money, in the future, I will take you to pour out a few licensed goods, and exchange them casually, which is enough to repay her money." What we lack now is this kind of capital, with money we can not worry about what to eat tomorrow, and with funds, we can buy some good equipment. From now on, let's reopen the patch, prepare well, and I must make a big fight. ”

The two of us combined, the ancient tombs hidden in the deep mountains and old forests are not so easy to find, and we are not sure when we can find them.

The fat man is a more realistic person, he thinks that the big gold tooth is a good deal, and the antiques are definitely a profiteering industry, especially sold to foreigners, but now the foreigners who often come to China are also very good, and they are not easy to deceive, but as long as there are really good things, they are not worried about spending money.

The fat man said: "Old Hu, how about we invest some money to open a shop?" Collect some antiques to sell, maybe you can save the inverted bucket if you do it well, although the inverted bucket comes quickly, but it's really not easy to do. ”

I nodded, "That's a good idea." Fatty, your head is still very bright. Now that we have the funds, we can start small and learn some knowledge of antique appraisal by the way. ”

So we looked for shops everywhere, but there was no suitable place, and then I thought about finding a shop, so let's get something to set up a stall in Panjiayuan.

The characteristic of Panjiayuan is miscellaneous, ancient and modern, large and small, everything is available, but very valuable Ming utensils are relatively rare, which are traded privately and rarely sold on the market.

As soon as we were instructed by the big gold tooth, we collected some small items such as pots and jars, old money, snuff bottles, and old pocket watches in the suburbs, and brought them back to sell in the antique market.

Maybe I didn't do business in my life, my vision was not accurate, and when I received it, I collected worthless things as treasures, and I collected valuable things and sold them as ordinary objects, and I didn't make much money all the time, but I lost a lot.

However, when we received these gadgets, we didn't spend too much money, and it was nothing to lose some money, mainly to practice our eyesight and grow some knowledge. After a long time in Panjiayuan, I realized that there are too many things in this industry, even more complex than feng shui, and it is not something that can be learned overnight.

On this day, it was almost noon, the antique market seemed a little deserted, there were not too many people, and I ran fast with the fat man with the big gold tooth.

Just as we were fighting, suddenly a person came in front of us, standing in front of our stall and walking around, the fat man thought he was going to see something, so he asked, "What's the matter, this master, what do you see?" ”

The man stammered, "Don't even look, do you accept antiques?" ”

I looked up, and saw that the man was thirty-six or seventeen years old, with purple-red skin, and at first glance he often worked in the sun; Dressed rusticly, carrying a broken leather bag, with a loess high-slope accent.

I thought to myself what kind of antiques this man could have, and I glanced at the big gold tooth. The big golden tooth is an expert, although this fellow is not good-looking, and the soil is scum, but he didn't dare to underestimate him, so he gave me a look, motioned me to stabilize him, and asked if he understood.

I took out a cigarette and handed it to the fellow, lit it for him, and invited him to sit down and talk.

The fellow had obviously not seen much of the world, and he didn't know much about socializing, so he sat on the horse that I handed him, clutching his broken leather bag tightly, and said nothing.

I looked at his broken leather bag and thought to myself, this guy can't be upside down, as if he had done something wrong, or maybe he has something valuable in this bag? I tried to keep my tone as calm as I could, and asked, "Brother, come on, you're welcome, smoke, this is cloud smoke." What do you call it? ”

The fellow said, "Call Li Chun." He may not be used to sitting in Maza, so he pushed Mazar away and squatted on the ground, and as soon as he squatted, he seemed much more relaxed, and his smoking movements were much sharper.

The big gold tooth and the fat man pretended to continue playing cards. This line is like this, there can not be many people when talking, firstly, this is the rule, secondly, for fear of scaring away the customers, generally people who want to sell antiques are more nervous, afraid of being targeted and robbed.

I smiled while smoking a cigarette and asked, "It turns out that your surname is Li, seeing that you are older than me, I call you brother." Brother Chunlai, you just asked us if we accept antiques, what's the matter, do you have a weapon you want to sell? ”

Li Chunlai was puzzled: "What is the Ming device? ”

When I saw that it was a cabbage, I asked him directly, "Is there something antique or something you want to sell?" Can you show me? ”

Li Chunlai looked left and right, and whispered, "Hungry and have a shoe, how much can you give?" ”

I'm so angry when I hear it, you still want to sell your broken shoes for money, I'm afraid no one wants to ask for the damn money. But then I thought that this might not be so simple, so I asked, "What shoes?" Whose shoes? ”

Li Chunlai saw that I was more kind and bolder, so he opened a thin slit in the leather bag and let me look inside. I craned my neck to see that Li Chunlai's broken leather bag contained an embroidered shoe worn by an ancient three-inch golden lotus.

Li Chunlai didn't wait for me to take a closer look, so he quickly pulled up the broken leather bag, as if I looked at it more, and the shoe would fly.

I said what about you, you take it out for me to see, I haven't seen it clearly, where did you get these shoes?

Li Chun said: "Boss, if you want to say a price, don't worry about anything else." ”

I said, "Brother Chunlai, you have to let me take it in my hand and take a look, how can I make a price if I don't see it clearly?" I lowered my voice again and said, "Are you afraid that this person will have too many eyes?" Why don't I invite you to the restaurant in front of you and eat the whole meatball-filled dumplings. I often go to that dumpling restaurant to talk about business, very quiet, when the time comes, I think it's really a good thing, the price is good for us to discuss, do you think it's okay? ”

As soon as Li Chunlai heard about eating dumplings stuffed with mutton, he swallowed greedily: "It's very good, let's not bask in the sun anymore, what's the matter, let's talk about it after eating the dumplings in sour soup." ”

I winked at the big gold tooth and the fat man, and took Li Chunlai to a dumpling restaurant on the adjacent street. This mutton dumpling restaurant is well-known in the neighborhood, the owner and his wife are loyal businessmen, the dumplings are full of filling, the flavor is unique, not only affordable, the environment is also very clean.

At this time, it was almost noon, and it was almost time to eat, and there were more and more people eating. I often come here to eat, and I know the owner very well, and the proprietress of the dumpling restaurant took us into the warehouse behind the kitchen, set up a table for us, put chairs and chopsticks, and went outside to do business.

This place is a single room for me to talk about business, and there is nothing else in the warehouse except for a bag of flour, and every time I finish eating, I don't let the shopkeeper make change, which is a single room fee.

I said to Li Chun: "Brother Chunlai, you see if this place is quiet enough, it's time to show me that little flower shoe, right?" ”

Li Chunlai's soul had already been swept away by the smell of dumplings wafting in from outside, and he turned a deaf ear to my words, and couldn't wait to eat it.

Seeing this, I had no choice but to smile bitterly, I pushed his arm and said, "Don't worry, the proprietress will bring it in for us when it is cooked in a while." If your shoes can be sold for a good price, you will have no problem eating whole meatballs and lamb dumplings every day. ”

Li Chunlai came back to his senses after being pushed by me, listened to my words, and shook his head again and again: "No, no, when the money is exchanged, I will marry an aunt and have a baby." ”

I laughed and said, "You haven't married a daughter-in-law yet?" I didn't marry either. What's the hurry to marry a daughter-in-law, when you have money, you can marry a mother-in-law with rice fat. Didn't you say Mizhi's mother-in-law Suide's Han over there? Tell me what's so good about this Mizhi's mother-in-law? ”

Li Chunlai was not as restrained as before, and when he heard me ask, he replied: "Hey, that rice fat aunt is like the red window flower, if you can marry a rice fat aunt, it will be all right." ”

While talking, the proprietress brought up the steaming dumplings and brought in two bottles of beer.

As soon as I saw this style for him, the two catties of dumplings were not enough, so I quickly asked the proprietress to cook another two catties, and then poured some vinegar into the small dish in front of Li Chunlai, and said to him: "Brother Chunlai, there are no sour soup dumplings that you people like to eat around here, so you can make do with this, this has vinegar, and drink some beer." ”

Li Chunlai stuffed several dumplings in his mouth, just buried his head in eating and drinking, and stopped talking, I waited for him to eat almost, and then talked to him about the embroidered shoe.

Li Chunlai trusted me very much at this time, and took out the embroidered shoes from the broken leather bag for me to see.

During this period of time, I have not been less in contact with antique ware, already half of the connoisseurs, I took the embroidered shoes in my hand to watch, the front of the shoe is less than a hand, the front end is pointed like the tip of a bamboo shoot, green satin bottom, the top is embroidered with blue, gold and red silk thread peony flowers, sandalwood soles, there is a sandwich in the middle, and spices can be contained inside.

Judging from the appearance and embroidery pattern, it is a thing of the Ming Dynasty. There are not many women in Shaanxi who wrap their small feet, and if there are, most of them are large families, so the craftsmanship of these shoes is quite exquisite.

If the big gold tooth is here, he can know the origin of the shoe with his nose, but I don't have such clever means, and I can't eat it accurately. The color and workmanship don't look like it's a fake. This three-inch golden lotus embroidered incense sole shoes are popular and very collectible.

I asked Li Chunlai where the shoes came from, and Li Chunlai did not hide them, and said them again.

In their place, there has been nine droughts in ten years, and this year there is a big drought, and there is not a single rain star in the sky, and the villagers are forced to think of a little crooked way.

In order to beg for rain, the village has used all kinds of tricks. There was a blind man who knew how to tell fortunes and said that this was a drought and that it would only rain if it had been a drought.

Before the liberation, the Central Plains was mostly used, and the remote areas of Henan, Shandong, and Shaanxi provinces had this custom.

Everyone asked him where there was a drought, and the blind man counted it for a long time, but he didn't figure it out. At this time, a sheep herding baby said that when he was herding sheep, he saw a child with a green body running into an ownerless coffin in the cemetery that had long been abandoned in the east of the village. I don't know which one the coffin belongs to, no one in the village has buried people in that cemetery for a long time, and this broken coffin has not been buried for some reason.

As soon as the blind man who knew how to tell fortunes heard this, he insisted that the droughts were hiding in this coffin, and as soon as the villagers discussed, they were ready to open the coffins with their hands to see if there were any droughts.

When the village chief heard this, he disagreed, saying that the blind man was talking nonsense. The blind man also got angry, and made a bet with the village chief that if he could not find the drought in the ownerless coffin, he would let the blind man's son herd sheep for the village chief's house for a year.

As a result, the villagers went to the deserted grave in the east, and they did what they said, and opened the lid of the coffin.

As soon as the lid of the coffin was opened, only a fishy smell was smelled, like the smell produced by a large pile of stinky fish after being exposed to the sun.

A few brave people who were not afraid of death pinched their noses and came to the front, and they were all startled when they looked inside. There was a female corpse lying in the coffin, and the clothes and jewelry on her body were very well preserved, all of them were the same as new, but looking at the dress, it was by no means all in modern times, this was an ancient corpse.

Although the costume was intact and new, the corpse was shriveled, and the muscles and skin were like dead tree bark.

Just above the head of the female corpse, there was a small monkey-like monster with green hair all over his body, only more than seven inches long, and the little green-haired monkey was still alive, curled up in a ball and sleeping.

After listening to what the villagers said, the blind man insisted that this little green-haired monster was a drought, and that he must kill it immediately, and then whip it, and it must be fast, otherwise it will run away at night, and it will be difficult to find it.

A few brave villagers caught the little green-haired monster outside the coffin, smashed it to death with a hammer, and then whipped it with a whip. The strange thing is that this monster does not bleed, and a lot of black gas comes out of the whip, and finally it is whipped to rotten, and no more black gas comes out, and then the fire is burned to ashes.

By this time, it was already dusk, and the villagers asked the blind man what to do with the female corpse in the coffin. The blind man said that if he kept it sooner or later, it would be a disaster, and that it would be better to let people burn it as soon as possible, and no one should take anything from it.

At first, everyone was still a little hesitant, after all, the corpse in this coffin was not modern, and there were many gold and silver jewelry, so it would be a pity to burn it.

While the villagers were hesitating, the dark clouds in the sky were thickening, and there was a faint sound of thunder, and it seemed that it was going to rain heavily.

Since the blind man said that the coffin must be burned, then it must be burned. In the end, the village chief decided to let Li Chunlai stay and light the coffin. Li Chunlai is a wretched person, usually the village chief tells him to do whatever he wants, but although he was scared at this time, he had to stay hard.

In order to burn the coffin before it rained, he hurriedly brought a few bundles of dry firewood, piled them haphazardly under the coffin, lit a fire, and burned it.

Li Chunlai squatted next to him and stared, he was a poor bachelor, he was almost forty years old and had no money to marry his mother-in-law, at this time thinking of the gold and silver in the coffin, he couldn't help but feel a little moved, but unfortunately he didn't dare to take it just now, now the fire has burned, and he can't get it if he wants to, and he doesn't know if it's worth it.

Li Chunlai was feeling extremely sorry, when suddenly the white light flashed, three or four thunderbolts hit the sky one after another, and the heavy rain poured down, immediately extinguishing the half-burned flames.

Li Chunlai's whole body was drenched by the rain, he stared at the half-burned broken coffin, and his heart was up and down, this is the opportunity given by God, this fire has not burned the contents of the coffin, if you want to take it out, you have to take it out now.

The rest of the people in the village have already left, and they are finally looking forward to a heavy rain, there are many things to prepare, and now in this wilderness, Li Chunlai is left alone, and when he thinks of the strange female corpse in the coffin, he is really a little stunned.

But thinking that he could marry a big-ass aunt by exchanging gold and silver jewelry for money, the bachelor man Li Chunlai no longer hesitated, raised the hoe with both hands, and used the hoe to break the lid of the coffin. The broken coffin had already been burned by fire, and it was not difficult to push the coffin board open at this time, and it didn't take a few strokes to push the broken coffin board aside.

When the villagers opened the coffin just now, Li Chunlai just squeezed into the pile and looked inside, but he didn't dare to take a closer look.

The stench in the coffin has almost dispersed, but it has been burned by the fire, coupled with the rain, the smell of corpses, dampness, scorching and other smells are mixed together, and it is indescribably strange and unpleasant, although it is raining in the sky, it can't suppress the strange smell in this coffin.

Li Chunlai was so smoked that his brain hurt, pinched his nose and endured it, and glanced at the coffin that had been burned, it was okay not to look at it, but he couldn't help it anymore, he opened his mouth and vomited.

Seeing that the rain was getting heavier and heavier, it was getting late, and it was too late if he didn't do anything, Li Chunlai wiped the filth on his mouth, and saw a gold bracelet on the wrist of the female corpse, and was just about to reach out to pick it up, when suddenly someone slapped him in the back.

This slap scared Li Chunlai so much that he hung up and peed his pants, thinking that the dead man in the nearby cemetery had been deceived by thunder. There are often rumors of zombies in their area, but I didn't expect to run into them this time.

As a result, when I looked back, it was not a zombie, but a neighbor in the village, Ma Shun. This Ma Shun is a well-known horse bold in the whole village, with a big waist and a round waist, and a good shelf, there is nothing in the world that he does not dare to do, plus he has a bad temper, and he is not light or heavy when he fights people, so few people in the village dare to provoke him.

Ma Daring saw a few pieces of jewelry in the female corpse in the coffin before, so he moved the thief's heart and wanted to keep it for himself, but there were many people at that time, and he didn't get it, and he saw that the village chief ordered Li Chunlai to burn the coffin, so he broke off this idea. Not long after returning home, it rained heavily, and Ma boldly saw that this was really God helping me, maybe the coffin had not burned yet, and at that moment no one was paying attention, so he slipped back.

Ma Daring didn't want to talk much about Li Chunlai's waste, so he peeled off the jewelry and clothes on the female corpse one by one, made a small bag, hummed a sour song and was about to leave, but saw Li Chunlai squatting next to him staring at him.

Ma boldly warned Li Chunlai not to say it to anyone, otherwise he would throw you into the ditch and feed the wolves. Then he rummaged through the bag and took out a shoe that was taken off the female corpse's feet, which was regarded as a hush money for Li Chunlai.

Li Chunlai took this shoe, not to mention the fire in his heart, but he didn't dare to offend Ma Daring, so he had to swallow his anger. At this time, the coffin was already wet from the rain, and they couldn't burn it if they wanted to, so the two of them worked together, dug a pit nearby, and buried the coffin in it.

When they returned to the village, they told the village chief and the blind man that the coffin had been burned along with the corpse as they had ordered. The blind man nodded, and said with satisfaction: "That's good, I heard the master talk about the dry bone pile before, the newly buried corpse, if the burial position is not good, it will become a zombie, and the zombie is easy to turn into a drought, and this drought is all drought." Although I am blind, I cannot see, but I know very well in my heart, and when you speak of the coffin and the corpse in it, I know that it is unusual. Maybe this ancient corpse was pregnant with a child when it died, and it was buried in the ground before it was born, and the child was buried alive, how could it live, and naturally it was also dead. The children have become even more vicious, and this pair of mother and son have become zombies, so they are called the sons and mothers, which are extremely powerful, and now they are burned to ashes, and they can't harm people. ”

The more Li Chunlai listened, the more he muttered in his heart, but he was worried that he would be punished by the village chief for telling the truth, so he had to deal with it with a few words, and then went home and slept by himself.

Lying on his own kang at night, he couldn't sleep well after tossing and turning, and as soon as he closed his eyes, he dreamed that the female corpse and her son came to choke his neck, and he was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.

The rain did not stop all night, and when it was almost morning, he heard that there was a mess outside, and Li Chunlai hurriedly put on his clothes and went out to see what was going on.

It turned out that Ma Daring's home was struck by lightning, and together with his mother-in-law and two babies, a family of four lost their lives.

Li Chunlai's heart is not good, how can this be good, he is already timid, the more he thinks about it, the more afraid he becomes, his back is cold, he can't hold it anymore, and he urinate in his crotch.

The villagers found the treasure on the ancient corpse in Ma's house, and the village chief forced Li Chunlai to ask Li Chunlai when he saw this, and Li Chunlai had no choice but to summon the truth.

The village chief scolded Li Chunlai several times in private, telling him not to keep quiet, and he would rot this matter into his stomach. Li Chunlai didn't look at the usual wilting, he still had a lot of ideas in his heart, and he didn't tell anyone about hiding an embroidered shoe, and Ma Daring also died, so he put the blame on Ma Daring, saying that he forced himself to do it. He usually has a pocket, and the people in the village believe his words and don't pursue it anymore, anyway, the death of the four members of the Ma family was caused by Ma boldly greedy for money.

Li Chunlai didn't dare to take out the embroidered shoes to show others, although he was uneducated, he knew that this shoe was a thing of the previous dynasty, and the money to marry his aunt was all counted on this shoe. Tomb robbery in Shaanxi has become a trend, the cultural relics trade is extremely hot, and some outsiders often come to the village to collect old things, Li Chunlai is timid, and in order to hide people's eyes, he has not dared to make a move.

Until one day, a distant relative of Li Chunlai in a neighboring county went to Beijing to run a transportation, he said a basket of good words, took a hitchhike and followed him to Beijing. Speaking of which, it can be regarded as fate, and the first time I opened my mouth, I found me.

Li Chunlai is simple and cowardly on the outside, but there is a trace of cunning that is extremely difficult to detect, he drank a lot of beer, drank so much that his face was red and his neck was thick, and he used the strength of the wine to tell the origin of this embroidered shoe.

I said to Li Chun: "The origin of your shoes can really be said to be tortuous, I just looked at it, this sandalwood bottom fragrant embroidered shoes are not bad, to say that the embroidered shoes hundreds of years ago are so well preserved now, it is very rare." I've dealt with a few pairs before, and the satin surface is all bark, but ......"

Li Chunlai was worried that I would say that this shoe was not worth much, so he looked very nervous, and hurriedly asked, "Boss, how much is this shoe worth?" ”

I was helpless, and said with a sigh of tooth, "Brother, if there were a pair of these shoes, they would be worth some money, but this one is only ......."

Judging from the market at that time, this kind of small foot embroidered shoes in the Ming Dynasty, including the early Qing Dynasty, was a good thing in the eyes of many folk lovers and players who engaged in collections, and although there were many well-preserved small foot embroidered shoes on the market, almost all of them were in the late Qing Dynasty of the Republic of China.

I asked Li Chunlai if he could bring the other one as well, and this one seemed a bit single. The antique shop is about a complete, the more complete the set of things, the more valuable they are, sometimes one or two pieces are inconspicuous, if you can make up a complete set, the price can be folded and rising.

Li Chunlai's face was embarrassed, and the other embroidered shoe had long since disappeared, so this one was still tucked and hidden before it was brought to Beijing.

I said: "Well, what about me, I will tell you the truth, I have a special impression of the peasant brothers, my father was for the liberation of the Chinese peasants, he resolutely gave up his studies and devoted himself to the revolutionary cause, he was an old man who did revolutionary work all his life, cough cough, let's not mention him, even the Chinese revolution took the line of the countryside to surround the city, and won the final victory, so I can pat my chest and say, I will never see that you are from the countryside and you will be blinded." This shoe is sold well on the market, it can be sold for six or seven hundred, and it is not easy to sell more, if you want to, I will accept this shoe for six hundred, even if we make a friend, if you have any good things in the future, just take me here, how about it? ”

Li Chunlai said in surprise: "What? Six hundred? You heard that right! ”

I said, "What? Too little? Add another fifty to you. ”

Li Chunlai shook his hand again and again: "A lot, a lot, I thought it would be worth three hundred at most." ”

I paid him six hundred and five at that time, Li Chunlai counted the money more than ten times, and hid it tightly, I told him to be careful, after drinking so much wine, don't accidentally lose the money again.

Then I talked to Li Chunlai about a lot of things about their hometown, Li Chunlai's hometown is in Ganyuangou by the Yellow River in Shaanxi Province, which is the poorest county in that area, and there is a Longxiang County near that county, which is mountainous and mountainous, and it is said that it was a state burial area in the past, and there are so many ancient tombs that I can't count them.

There are so many ancient tombs in Longxiang County, where one acre of land is large, there are six or seven tombs, which are all on the surface, and there are more in the depths.

The pastel products of the Tang Dynasty dug out of it can be sold for tens of thousands of yuan, and many local farmers have a few pieces in their homes, and they make a fortune by digging out of the fields. Since the time of the Republic of China, there have been many cultural relics dealers to buy, and the decent ones have been almost collected.

To the south of Qinling heard that there are more tombs over there, but it is not easy to find, the easy to find are all gone, there is one of the most famous Han tombs, the tomb alone robbed holes to make people play more than 280, these thieves from ancient times to the present have.

There are also a lot of valuable good things flowing out there, but Li Chunlai can't say what they are, and he only heard about these things.

Seeing that it was not early, and Li Chunlai's strength had passed, he got up to say goodbye, and when he left, he told me that I must go to his house as a guest when I had the opportunity in the future, and I was polite to him for a long time, and then sent him away.

Back at the antique market, the fat man and the big gold tooth were already waiting impatiently, and when they saw me returning, they hurriedly asked what good things they had received.

I showed them the embroidered shoes, and the fat man scolded: "This old hat is like holding a dog's head gold, and after a long time of trouble, he brought such shoes?" ”

The big gold tooth said: "Hey, how particular are these shoes, how much silver does Hu Ye collect?" ”

I told the price, and the big gold tooth even claimed: "Hu Ye's eyesight is really good during this time, and there is no problem at all with this embroidered shoe selling for 2,000 yuan." ”

I regretted it: "How did I say this, if you know that you can sell so much, I will give that old brother some more money, I thought it was worth six or seven hundred yuan, but I still looked away." ”

The big gold tooth said: "It's Monday, Monday is scarce, I think we don't have to spend it with this, I haven't eaten mutton shabu for a long time, what's the matter with me, let's clean up and run to Dongsi." ”

The fat man said: "Great minds always coincide, I happened to be hungry for this in the past two days, why don't you get tired of eating?" ”

It was just four o'clock in the afternoon, and there were still no half diners, so we sat at the window table in the corner. The waiter ordered the pot, put the things in order, and when the dishes came up, they all went back to the counter and gathered together.

I took out a cigarette and lit it for the big gold tooth and the fat man, and asked the big gold tooth: "Master Jin, tell our brothers and sons, where is the value of these shoes?" ”

The big gold tooth took the embroidered shoe and said: "This shoe is not an ordinary person, do you see it, this is a peony flower, since the Tang Dynasty, the world is precious to peony, although the ordinary people also have embroidered peonies on their shoes, but certainly not like this can afford to inlay gold thread." In addition, you can see that there are six small beads embedded in the heart of this flower, although it is not too precious, but the overall artistic value has gone up. The most important thing is the owner of this shoe, the old brother is from Shaanxi, the people of Shaanxi are simple, since ancient times, the folk are not yet bound feet, I estimate that the owner of this shoe, it is very likely that the family of officials transferred from other provinces, or the noble lady who married a wealthy family, in short, it is not rich or expensive. So this shoe is very collectible, I said two thousand in the market, I didn't dare to say anything, in my opinion, it is worth at least six thousand, if there is a pair, then the price can be quadruple or five. ”

The fat man and I stuck out our tongues, I really didn't expect it to be so valuable, I made up my mind in my heart, I must go to Shaanxi when I go back, and then make up some money for Li Chunlai, otherwise he will suffer too much.

While eating and talking, inadvertently, the topic went to the ancient tombs in Shaanxi.

Da Jinya said: "Although I have never been to Shaanxi in person, I have heard some colleagues who have gone there to collect things that they have said that the eight hundred miles of Qinchuan are prosperous in civil and military affairs, and the land of Sanqin is deep in water and soil, and the good things buried in the ground are too many to count. Only in Longxiang County, there are nearly no less than 100,000 ancient tombs, in some places, an ancient tomb under the soil presses an ancient tomb, the cultural layer is as many as several layers, in the area of Daba Mountain in the Qinling Mountains, there are many tombs according to legend. I thought, I have to go there when I have the opportunity, collect some good things, even if I can't collect them, it's good to open my eyes, but my health is not very good, and I haven't had a chance to go. ”

I said, "I was thinking about when I had time to go, or let's go play together, and by the way, collect some things, you go with the two of us, and we can take care of us along the way." ”

The three of them hit it off and discussed when to set off. I have heard that there are many dragon veins in Qinling, and I want to go to the field to investigate, it is best to find a big bucket to fall, and it is good to repay the usury of the American Nizi, and the life of being in debt is really uncomfortable.

The big gold tooth said: "The things dug up over there are all underground transactions, and a certain procedure has been formed, and it is difficult for outsiders to interfere." If we want to collect valuable things, we have to go to the most remote places, and if we don't have them, we will definitely make a lot of money. ”

The fat man suddenly remembered something and said to us, "Shall we take more black donkey hooves?" I've heard that there are the most zombies over there. ”

I said, "Let's just go out and have fun, collect some things and come back, without worrying about running into big dumplings." ”

The big golden tooth said: "Master Hu, you are a great expert in feng shui, you said that there are many black and white fierce people, how does this explain in feng shui?" ”

I said, "Murder can be said to refer to zombies, and black and white refer to different corpses. Now that we've talked about this, I'll talk about it from the perspective of Feng Shui. ”
