The weekend came, and friends from the auction house arrived as promised. Wang Zhi finally had a reason to open the cabinet.
Everything was there, and it didn't move at all.
He took them out one by one and showed them to well-informed friends.
"Maybe it's something from the Tang Dynasty or earlier, you've picked up a treasure this time! It's just a pity that I fell. ”
The friend looked excited, rubbing the thing over and over again, using a magnifying glass to study the lines and words on it, inch by inch, and then sighed at the damage to it.
"These are all Sanskrit, and the style is very close to the way of Buddhism in the Western Regions during the Han and Tang Dynasties."
He solemnly told Wang Zhi that if he was not mistaken, this thing and jadeite were worth a lot of money, maybe hundreds of thousands or more.
"If you like it, take it back and read it slowly." Wang Zhi said sincerely, but his friend didn't appreciate it at all.
"You also know the security of the community where I live, and I don't dare to take such a valuable thing from home."
"It's okay to take it to the unit." Wang Zhi continued to persuade.
"The vampire of our boss, he will be miserable when he sees it, and the cost will not be recovered." The friend didn't notice Wang Zhi's affection at all, and said in a gullible voice. "Besides, if a gentleman doesn't take advantage of others, I can't do that kind of lack of morality."
"Or you keep it, I'll just take a few photos, take it to the unit and say that someone wants to auction it, entrust it to be appraised, and let those masters see it." When you know the value, you can decide what to do with it. ”
Wang Zhi reluctantly accepted the reality. After his friend left, he called Lu Lou and wanted to ask him to take his things back. Unexpectedly, Lu Lou was already in Shanghai preparing to fly to Sydney. In this way, he is not able to say the value of the thing anymore.
After hanging up the phone and coming back, Li Mi was lying on the desk looking at the thing intently.
"I didn't expect this thing to be so valuable." She was a little distracted.
"I didn't expect that either. If I knew it was so valuable, I wouldn't dare to take it. ”
"So what now?"
"Let's leave it there for now, and wait for the results to come out." Wang Zhi sighed, thinking in his heart that he didn't know when Lu Lou would come back.
"Then I'll go find a piece of silk to wrap up." Li Mi hurriedly stood up.
The daughter came from the bedroom with her little buttocks twisted, holding a mother's sweater in her hand, and most of the clothes were dragging on the floor.
Li Mi was angry and slapped her ass hard.
"You little thing, you don't do good things all day long!"
The daughter burst into tears.
After knowing the ins and outs of that thing, Wang Zhi felt that he didn't seem to be so worried anymore.
The pile was still locked in the bookcase, and he tried to stay in the study after dark, but nothing unusual happened, so he gradually relaxed.
A qiē restored to its original state.
One day, when Wang Zhi was riding the bus, he even caught a thief bravely.
It made him feel like he had regained his courage.
My daughter's birthday is approaching, and I am afraid that my father will forget it, so I keep chattering in front of him. Wang Zhi pretended not to know anything, and let his daughter bite him angrily.
But in fact, he had already prepared a gift for his daughter, and he also invited relatives and friends to come to the house to hold a birthday party for his daughter. Li Mi looked at the father and daughter like living treasures from the side, and could only shake his head speechlessly.
The night before my daughter's birthday, a friend from the auction house called.
"Wang Zhi, it's me."
"Well, Brother Zhao, what's the matter?"
"It's the jade you asked me to see the other day. Just tomorrow, a jadeite expert will come to K City. I have a good relationship with him, why don't you send it over tomorrow and ask him to appraise it? ”
"Okay, no problem. Thank you! ”
"Then call me tomorrow."
Hanging up the phone, Wang Zhi hesitated for a moment, and finally took the jade out of the bookcase.
The color of the jade was as red as blood, and it faintly reflected a seductive light in the light. The interior of the jadeite seems to be alive and is constantly circulating, making people feel a different charm every time they look at it.
Wang Zhi sat at the desk as if he was in a daze, and played with the jade until late at night.
The black Citroen C5 turned the corner, and Wang Zhi listened to the phone while driving, and his eyes were looking for a parking space on the side of the street.
"I'm sorry Wang Zhi, that expert suddenly had something to do and temporarily canceled the trip, and I just found out."
"It's okay, it's okay, Brother Zhao, I'm embarrassed that you're so concerned about this."
"Brothers, don't say such kind words. That's it, bye-bye. ”
As soon as he hung up the phone, another call came in, and Wang Zhi looked down to see that it was his wife's number. He couldn't help but smile. There was a big joyful doll in the passenger seat, which he specially ordered from Taobao and never took it home, but put it in the company to wait for his daughter's birthday.
After chatting with his wife and daughter on the phone, Wang Zhi continued to look for a parking space on the street, and went around a long distance before he found one on Weixing Street.
He looked at his watch, it was already a quarter past seven, and hurried to the cake shop.
In July, it was the rainy season in K, and the sky was gray and already a little dark. Because it was meal time, there were very few pedestrians on the street. Wang Zhi did not use an umbrella, but chose to put the collar of his trench coat up, and then took a shortcut to the alley on the side of the street to get the cake. As we walked through the alley, two thugs squatted under the eaves to hide from the rain. The king was in a hurry to leave, not noticing that they stood up and slowly followed him.
The waiter at the cake shop smiled and helped him tie a big pink butterfly knot to the cake box, he thanked him repeatedly, and then took out his wallet to pay. The two thugs standing outside the window looked at the wallet with a lot of cash and pursed their lips in unison.
Wang Zhi hurried out of the cake shop and walked through the street like a whirlwind. The two thugs had to trot to catch up with him.
As soon as he walked into the alley, the phone rang, Wang Zhi held a cake in one hand and turned on the phone with the other.
The gangster before took out a dagger and stabbed Wang Zhi into the back from behind, and when he saw that Wang Zhi wanted to turn around, he casually stabbed him a few more times.
The cake fell to the ground, Wang Zhi finally struggled to turn around, another thug rushed over and pushed him to the ground, he touched his waist with his hand blankly, the blood stained his hands red, and then quickly red the rain on the ground.
"What to do? It seems to have stabbed the nail on the head. The thug asked.
The thug hesitated for a moment, then replied, "Count him unlucky." ”
The two quickly leaned down and searched out the wallet from Wang Zhi, hurriedly pulled out the cash inside, and threw it next to Wang Zhi.
Not far from the phone, a little girl's voice rang in the phone, and a thug walked over and picked it up, pulling out the battery as he went.
The two thugs quickly left the alley.
The whole process takes less than a minute. There were cars speeding down the street next to the alley, and no one saw what was going on here.
Wang Zhi tried his best to raise his head, but he couldn't see clearly, and could only see a vague shadow.
"Help me......" he groaned, feeling cold and without any strength.
The raindrops kept falling on him, and he didn't feel the pain of the wound, only felt that his consciousness was blurring a little.
"I don't want to die." He said to himself, no one heard.
The blurred figure of his daughter appeared in front of him. He felt as if he had reached out his hand, but he didn't touch anything.
At this moment, a voice faintly appeared in his head.
"Swallow it...... Swallow it...... Swallow it ......"
He subconsciously groped in front of his chest, and finally, with the last of his strength, he took out the blood-red jade from his pocket, put it in his mouth, and swallowed it.
At this moment, the darkness came and buried him without hesitation.
Li Mi hid on the terrace and dialed Wang Zhi's mobile phone again and again, but what he heard was "The number you dialed cannot be called for the time being, please dial ...... later."
She hung up the phone irritably, calmed down her feelings, tried her best to squeeze out a smile, and walked into the house.
Everyone waited until 8 o'clock and didn't see Wang Zhi, looking at her daughter's gradually pursed mouth and red eyes, Li Mi had to start her daughter's birthday party.
Eating KFC and Pizza Hut takeaways, several children of the same age chased and played wildly in the house, sharing the joy of opening gifts with their daughters, which filled the room with joy. Adults chatted casually in their rooms, discussing post-drought floods, stock market crashes and housing bubbles. As the host, Li Mi had to let go of the worries in her heart and greeted the guests in the room.
Occasionally, when someone asked about Wang Zhi, she could only smile and say that he had something to do to work overtime.
It wasn't until it was time to cut the cake that the daughter realized that her father never came back.
There was no cake, and the daughter cried aggrievedly. The scene was a little awkward, and Li Mi had to complete the birthday song and wish making ceremony with a relatively complete pizza and candles left over from last year.
The guests eventually parted, and the daughter cried for a long time before falling asleep.
Li Mi called her husband again, but she was still unable to talk for the time being, and no one answered the phone at the unit. Worried, she tidied up her room and collected the garbage and threw it away. But Wang Zhi never came back, nor did he call.
The sound of the door closing woke her up, and she looked up from the table to see her husband's tired, pale cheeks, his head in disarray, his body soaked, and his clothes stained.
"What's wrong?" She hurried to meet her. She was anxious all night, and she wanted to have a good fire, but when she saw her husband like this, she was only worried in her heart.
"I was robbed in a small alley, and my cash and mobile phone were robbed. I was hit on the head, and I was dizzy until I woke up just now......" Wang Zhi's voice was very tired.
Li Mi hurriedly groped around him: "You're not injured, are you?" What's the matter? ”
"It's okay, it's just that my head is a little heavy...... I'll take a shower and I'll be fine. Wang Zhi dragged up the stairs with heavy steps.
Li Mi looked back at the wall clock, it was already past three o'clock in the night.
The daughter didn't know what she was dreaming about, and suddenly she cried again.
