After Yue Leiting's night's lavish reception banquet, I never saw Huo Qian again, Xiao Lianshan and I were arranged to live in Yue Leiting's house in the suburbs, the house was big and scary, and people's pursuit of the house was far less fanatical than it is now in eighty-four years, but the house of Yue Thunder was like a palace in my eyes.

I have never slept on such a soft bed, lying up and down will go up and down, Xiao Lianshan has always been very curious about what is inside, it took a lot of effort to dig a hole with a knife to see the rows of springs inside, and later I learned that this is called Simmons, but Xiao Lianshan is very unaccustomed to sleeping on it, it feels unsteady, and it is far less comfortable than sleeping on a blanket on the concrete floor.

Yue Thunder has the habit of getting up early, I came down from upstairs and saw Yue Thunder anxiously walking back and forth in the hall downstairs, I asked him what was the matter, he said it was nothing serious, I and Lian Shan have been here for so long, has not taken us out for a walk, Yue Thunder touched the hair of the board and said to go out for a walk together today.

I nodded, living in it for so long, it's not as I thought, Yue Thunder almost never asked me to do anything with Xiao Lianshan, today Yue Thunder said casually, but I know that the time has come when Yue Thunder needs us.

Yue Leining's car was parked outside a village in the northern suburbs of the city, and it had been raining when he came, and the roads in the countryside were mostly made of yellow mud mixed with stones, and it was difficult to change the mud and difficult to walk on a rainy day like today, even if the weather was sunny and uneven, the uneven road surface also made the people who took the car uncomfortable.

There are not many households in the village, each house is far apart, but it is quiet and peaceful, I looked at the village in the rain and suddenly felt a little melancholy, when it rained in the mountains, it was also like this, I didn't know how Qin Yishou was doing now after coming out for so long, he had rheumatism, and when he encountered such a rainy day, he couldn't get off the ground, and I used to be by his side to support him, but now he is only alone, I suddenly touched the finger that was cut off by him, and I understood the truth that blood is thicker than water, and the knife in Qin's hand did not cut off my thoughts about him.

Yue Lei Ting brought the umbrella over to cover the rain before I came back to my senses, Xiao Lianshan didn't know what habit he always liked to walk in front of Yue Lei, I knew that Liu Hao had always wanted to say that Xiao Lianshan was a little out of order, but I knew that Xiao Lianshan was standing just right to block himself, and any danger from the front, Xiao Lianshan would block it for himself, and I also believed that Yue Thunder also knew this.

After walking a long way and thundering before stopping at the door of an ordinary farmer's house, the door was opened by a fat man, a few sparse hairs were combed neatly, a pair of sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, and a jade ring on his hand with green hair, which was a first-class commodity at a glance, holding a simple and exquisite purple sand teapot in his hand.

His dress and temperament were out of place in the barren village and the low, dilapidated houses in front of him.

The fat man saw me and Xiao Lianshan beside Yue Leiting, and the expression on his face was not very happy.

"What does Boss Yue mean by this, hand over the goods in your place, and say that it's just the two of us, it's not interesting for you to bring someone here."

Fat Man's Mandarin is not too standard, with a strong Cantonese accent.

Yue Lei Ting walked into the house without speaking, threw the snakeskin bag he had been carrying in his hand on the table, and turned around and motioned for me to close the door casually.

"You don't inquire on the road, my surname Yue said one is one and two is two, what's wrong with two people, I really want to eat you, do you still need me to come? These two are my younger brothers, and I took them out to see and learn, and I didn't want to leave immediately. ”

The fat man squinted at the snakeskin pocket on the table and smiled.

"The more the boss misunderstands, they all eat with their heads mixed up, it's better to be careful."

Yue Lei Ting sat on the chair, crossed Erlang's legs, and pointed to the fat man in front of him to introduce us.

"This is Zhong ...... Bell....... ”

The fat man was very thoughtful, and as soon as Yue Thunder's words fell, he stretched out his hand to me and Xiao Lianshan, with a smile on his face, because the flesh on both sides of his cheeks was shaking because he was too fat.

"Contemptible Zhong Weiguo, please advise me when we meet for the first time."

"Don't talk nonsense, the money is here." Yue Lei Ting pointed to the snakeskin pocket on the table. "Do you want to count the money first, or let me see the goods first."

"Who doesn't know the name of the boss, the first time you deal with the boss, you will inspect the goods according to the rules."

After Zhong Weiguo finished speaking, he turned around and returned to the back room, I asked curiously about the origin of Zhong Weiguo, Yue Lei Ting told us that Zhong Weiguo was reselling cultural relics, and he was somewhat famous in Guangdong, and all the good goods that came out of his hands were good, and the bronze talisman I chose last time gave him a long face, and the outside said that Yue Lei Ting now has a high vision, this person contacted Liu Hao, and said that he wanted to get rid of a few rare treasures, Huo Qian is not here now, so today Yue Lei Ting brought me and Xiao Lianshan.

As soon as I finished speaking, I saw Zhong Weiguo carefully holding a wooden box from the back room, pushing it in front of Yue Leiting, opening the wooden box, and a bronze helmet was placed on top of the black satin, which looked majestic and solemn, covered with green rust, and Yue Thunder handed it to me after pounding back and forth in his hand for a long time.

I took it in my hand and knew that it was a warrior helmet of the Shang Dynasty, Zhong Weiguo on the opposite side raised his eyebrows and looked at me a few more times, saying that I have good eyesight, and I can see the age at a glance, Xiao Lianshan next to me asked me curiously, there is no inscription on the helmet, how do I know that it is something of the Shang Dynasty.

I told him that many Shang Dynasty warriors had bronze helmets, the front was decorated with different gluttonous patterns, and the ears on both sides had protruding circles, often decorated with the middle of the dragon's pattern, and there was a round tube on the top of the helmet, which seemed to be decorated with feathers and other decorations, and the helmet in my hand was decorated with a gluttonous pattern with double curled horns, and the eyes, nose, ears and horns were quite protruding.

Yue Thunder asked me if it was genuine, I played with it in my hand for a long time and nodded, saying that the thing was old and not fake.

Yue Thunder listened to me and said yes, so he asked Zhong Weiguo to make a price without even thinking about it.

"Since the boss is eye-catching, the first time I deal with it, it's a friend." Zhong Weiguo spread out his five fingers. "I believe that the bigger the number, the bigger the profit, the more you will not lose money."

Yue Lei Ting smiled faintly and pushed the snakeskin pocket in front of Zhong Weiguo, and asked him to order 50,000 yuan from it himself, Zhong Weiguo smiled brightly and just wanted to get the money, I handed him the helmet and said unhurriedly, you put it on and try it.

"What?" Zhong Weiguo was stunned.

"You put this helmet on your head." I repeat what I just said.

"This ...... It's all patina...... How much more is it a dead man's thing, and you let me wear it on my head? ”

My hand was still stretched out in front of Zhong Weiguo, and Yue Lei saw that I didn't mean to joke, and frowned: "If you want to wear it, you can wear it, don't talk nonsense." ”

Zhong Weiguo hesitated for a moment and had no choice, picked up the helmet and put it on his head, but the helmet was too small to put it on, he was already fat and sweaty all over his face, panting and saying that the helmet was too small to wear, I smiled and took the helmet and sent it to Xiao Lianshan, before he could speak, Xiao Lianshan pushed the helmet away and said, he had never worn the helmet, and the steel helmet had been worn for several years, so he knew that this thing was small and could not be worn at all.

I nodded with satisfaction and said to the more thunder beside me.

"Brother Ting, the material of this object is real, but the helmet is fake and worthless."

"You can see it clearly, how can this helmet be fake, you have said that the material is real." Zhong Weiguo was a little anxious.

"This helmet can't be worn by our people now, let alone the ancients, don't forget that the samurai of the Warring States have hair buns, and it should really be split from other dilapidated and unrepaired bronze pieces, and you dare to take out this kind of inferior stuff?" I gave him a blank look.

"Hehe, the deception also deceived my surname Yue, you are really not small, according to the rules, do you keep your hands or feet?" Yue Thunder leaned back in the chair and asked expressionlessly.

Zhong Weiguo's face was white and red, in fact, the imitation of a bronze helmet like this is already impeccable, if it is not for ignoring the detail of size, I am afraid that few people can see the clue when you take it out, Zhong Weiguo may not have expected me to be able to see it, and looked at me a few more times.

"Boss Yue, this is a misunderstanding, I also have an eye on this object, please move the three of you, Zhong Mou is not talented but also has a collection of some tattered things, please three of you appreciate the face and appreciate it."

Yue Lei Ting smiled coldly, I followed the back into the inner room, Zhong Weiguo pushed open the bed There was a wooden board that could be pulled, Zhong Weiguo pulled the wooden plank, I saw a few steps leading to the dark underground, Zhong Weiguo stood at the entrance of the tunnel with a flashlight and a smile, and the light of the flashlight shone on his face eerie.

Xiao Lianshan didn't think about being the first to go down, his movements were skillful and accurate, as if he had undergone special training.

Wait for me and Yue Lei Ting to go down only to find that it is more than 30 square meters of a basement, until Zhong Weiguo turned on the light, I deeply understood what is called a cave, more than 30 square meters of basement completely in accordance with the Ming and Qing Dynasty style decoration, with bright Jin Song as the main color, gilt pillar gold dragon lifelike, like a miniature imperial study.

I walked in, and the first feeling was the majestic and solemn royal style, and Yue Thunder turned around and told me to take a good look and see if there was anything that could be put on the table.

Zhong Weiguo heard Yue Thunder say this, and his face was full of strange and smug smiles.

"I didn't see it, Brother Qin turned out to be a middle and high master at a young age, I really lost my eyes, come, please Brother Qin palm my eyes and look at my things."

Although Zhong Weiguo said politely, I could hear that his words were somewhat contemptuous and provocative, after all, antique appreciation of this bowl of rice is eyesight, even if it is talented, but eyesight is to rely on time to practice, and dare to come out to learn to appreciate it without decades of skills, to put it bluntly, it is embarrassing, Zhong Weiguo has been in this industry for decades, and it is taboo to trade fakes, and it is impossible for him not to understand this rule.

Thinking of this, I somewhat understand why Zhong Weiguo took a fake bronze helmet as soon as he came up, he just wanted to try how deep the water of Yue Thunder was, it can be seen that Yue Thunder is a straw bag that is not worth mentioning in Zhong Weiguo's eyes, in fact, Yue Thunder didn't know anything about the antique industry, but I didn't expect to be able to see the way out, but it was all some introductory tricks, looking at Zhong Weiguo's expression, he really didn't put the three of us in the room in his eyes.

The mahogany bookshelves in the basement are dotted with a variety of large and small porcelain, and the walls are hung with yellowed calligraphy and paintings, which look old.

In an instant, I was in a trance whether I had walked into another time and space, the exquisite porcelain and the lifelike patterns on it, I reached out and gently touched the soft outline of the porcelain in front of me, and I could clearly feel the heaviness of the precipitation of time, and the pleasing and beautiful texture.
