Chapter 255: Destroying the Gate
Hearing Guo Chong mention the words "black and silver bracelet", my heart jumped wildly a few times, and I couldn't help but glance at the old camel, just as this old thing also turned his gaze, and the expression on his face was full of meaning. I turned my gaze away, and I only thought of one thing in my heart, the black and silver bracelet that I sold back then, which originally belonged to Aoko.
No wonder the old camel took the trouble to come here for the bracelet.
I put away the turmoil in my heart and continued to listen to Guo Chong.
"When I saw the bracelet, I was a little puzzled, because I had never seen my father take it out before. My father was silent for a while, and then he told me that he had bought the bracelet five years ago in a pawn shop in Linzhou, and that he had bought it for 300,000 yuan. ”
When I heard this, I recalled the geographical location of Linzhou, which should be near Tancheng. Old man Qian's family has been running a pawnshop for generations, and Linzhou will naturally have their network. This Qian family is really a good hand at making money, and the price has tripled as soon as it changes hands.
Guo Chong said: "I asked my father at the time, is this bracelet some kind of great antique, can be worth so much money." My father laughed and said, 'I was lucky to be able to buy this bracelet for 300,000 yuan.' The father said that if no one in this place could recognize the value of the bracelet, and he happened to come across it, he would not have been able to get it. ”
This Guo Chong knows very little about antiquities, so he is confused. Guo's father sighed and said to him: "I looked at it in a hurry and knew that this bracelet was definitely not simple. But when I took it home and studied it carefully, I regretted getting it. ”
At that time, Guo Chong was very strange and asked if this thing was not worth the price. Guo's father said that after his careful research, this bracelet was likely to be the yin and yang bracelet that was stolen from the Qin Tomb. Guo Chong was confused, saying that he had never heard of this yin and yang bracelet at all, and he had never heard that anyone had ever stolen the Qin Tomb.
Guo's father told him that the theft of the Qin Tomb had always been a legend circulating within their antique world. It is said that when the mountain movers broke the Qin Tomb, although they suffered heavy casualties, they still brought out one thing, which was this bracelet.
Guo Chong didn't even know what a mountain movers were. Guo's father said that if this bracelet is really the yin and yang bracelet, it will be very important, and if it is not good, it will cause a catastrophe for the Guo family. Guo Chong was very unconvinced at the time, thinking that this was his father's unfounded worry, just a bracelet, how could it be so serious.
But Guo's father didn't see it that way. He said that he had thought many times that he would simply hand over this thing publicly, so that he would not cause trouble for the Guo family, but he was extremely obsessed with antiquities, especially the legendary magical objects such as the Yin-Yang Bracelet from the Qin Tomb, and he couldn't give it up. This hesitation dragged on for several years, until today.
Guo Chong said to his father at the time, since he has been fine for so many years, it means that no one knows that we have hidden this thing, so let my father collect it with peace of mind. Guo's father said that there is no impermeable wall in the world, and since he bought this thing from someone else, there will definitely be clues left. Especially recently, he suddenly heard some rumors, it seems that someone touched Linzhou, and from Linzhou to Tancheng, inquiring about the personnel related to this bracelet back then.
Guo's father was very nervous, so he summoned his son over and discussed whether to take the bracelet out publicly. At that time, Guo Chong felt that his father was making a fuss, and secondly, he was very filial, knowing that his father was obsessed with antiques, and he couldn't bear to take away his favor, so he suggested that he should put away the things first and take a look.
Looking at it again, it's a month. That night, Guo's father found Guo Chong again, saying that things seemed to be getting out of control, and he was very uneasy. Guo Chong couldn't bear to see his father like this, so he thought of an idea when he went back. Their family was originally engaged in maritime trade business, especially in recent years, and they have also shifted their business focus to overseas, and there is nothing left in China.
So he suggested that it would be better to move his family to Nanyang and find a small country to live in. First, the family's business is over there, and secondly, you can avoid the treacherous situation here.
Guo's father was extremely reluctant to accept this bracelet, and when he heard his son's idea, he was overjoyed at that time. The businessmen were extremely efficient, and within a few days, they packed up and stopped, and the family planned to go to Quanzhou Port first, and then take one of their merchant ships to Nanyang.
This matter should have been carried out very secretly, except for the father and son of the Guo family, even his mother did not know the true reason for the incident. It's just that Guo Chong happened to have a partner at that time, called Tian'er, and the young couple was in love, and now Guo Chong's family was going to suddenly move to Nanyang, and the woman was naturally unacceptable.
Guo Chong used various reasons to persuade Tian'er to go to Nanyang with him to get married and settle down. But Tian'er said that her father would definitely not agree, and she did not want to leave her homeland and go overseas. Guo Chong really had no choice, so he revealed the matter of the bracelet to Tian'er, and begged her to be considerate of herself, and she would definitely come back after this limelight.
To put it mildly, I finally coaxed the girl to agree. Tian'er promised to go home and persuade her father to go to Nanyang with them, but she didn't know if it would work out. said that if her father refused, she would not go, and they just left the matter at that.
Guo Chong was both happy and nervous, and after a day of waiting, Tian'er finally gave him the news that her father had promised to go overseas with them. Guo Chong was excited and made an appointment for the two families to meet in Quanzhou.
Hearing this, I could almost guess that this sweet father and daughter should be the third child of the Qiao family and his daughter. It is also a coincidence that I was taken to Quanzhou Port by Maoshan and his party that day, and the day we went to sea was also the day when the Guo family went to sea. At that time, the merchant ship on which the father and daughter of the Qiao family were on should have been their Guo family.
But this level of origin, I naturally won't take the initiative to talk about it.
After the father and daughter took a long boat, the two families met and were very lively, and Guo Chong was even more happy.
"When the ship came to the open sea, we had a storm and the ship went around the sea for many days. Later, when the weather finally improved, and we were rejoicing, who knew that that night, the brute suddenly attacked my family! Guo Chong's remaining eyes were red, his voice trembled, and he seemed to be desperately suppressing the excitement and resentment in his heart, "That beast killed all my parents and family, and I happened to bump into him, I rushed over to fight with him, but I fell for his evil magic, and in a daze, I cut off one of my arms with a knife and fell into the sea." ”
Speaking of this, Guo Chong gritted his teeth and gurgled like a raging beast, exuding infinite hatred. The little girl tightened her grip on my arm, obviously a little frightened by him.
I digressed and said, "What happened?" ”
Guo Chong obviously realized that his emotions were too excited, so he immediately lowered his head slightly, put away his violent emotions, and said: "After I fell into the sea, fortunately I met the master and was rescued by him." ”
The old man in his mouth is naturally an old camel. I calculated the time, and according to this calculation, it should have been the old camel who was scared away by the white-faced demon and escaped from Cinnabar Island alone, and finally happened to save this Guo Chong.
I glanced at the old thing, and saw that he was squinting and calm, but not half embarrassed.
Guo Chong said: "I fell for the evil art of that beast, although the master treated me in time, but I could only save one life." ”
I saw that half of his face was destroyed, and only one eye remained, which must have been given by evil magic.
"By the time the master took me to chase after me, there was no trace of my merchant ship. Later, the lord took me back to land. I knew the beast's surname was Joe, but I didn't know the details of him. Guo Chong said hatefully, "Fortunately, the old man has great powers, and he found out that the beast turned out to be the third child of the Qiao family in Huidingzhou, and he left the Qiao family for some reason. ”
Ah Zi let out a low cry, and the little girl only fully understood at this time, the sweet father and daughter in Guo Chong's mouth were the father and daughter of the third child of the Qiao family.
The old camel laughed and said, "Little girl, what did you think of?" ”
