Chapter 66 (Updated July 5, 2012)
What's even better is that I have slowly touched many of the third uncle's tricks.
In the third quarter, I slowly eliminated a group of guys who were not suitable for me, and replaced them one by one with those who suited me, although the situation was not as prosperous as the third uncle, but the plate was running very smoothly.
Watching the cash flow flow flow in, I slowly gained some confidence in my abilities. I found that I was not as wasteful as I used to think - there was a way to succeed, and it wasn't difficult.
After the development of the traditional channel, I went to visit some old people while training and making future plans. The easiest to visit is, of course, the little flowers. Xiaohua is still in the hospital to recuperate, I didn't pay much attention to his injuries because of his decadence, and he was also a very important person, and I didn't even know anything about his experience in the team at the time.
Xiuxiu has been taking care of Xiaohua, and I didn't go to Xiaohua because of her, because Mrs. Huo's affairs stimulated her too much. But when I ran my third uncle's shop, I learned a lot of valuable virtues, such as facing pain, and I knew that when the time came, escaping was the worst solution.
Pain can only be slowly alleviated when it is released, and repression has no great effect on it, and the pain will inevitably go downhill after reaching its peak.
After a few visits, Xiuxiu's discomfort with me was slowly eliminated. I stayed in Beijing for a while, specifically to help Xiaohua deal with some family affairs, because I gradually had some say in the south relying on the relationship and power of my third uncle, and I was more qualified to help others.
I don't really need these qualifications, but once I have them, I can't seem to give them up.
After everything was sorted out, I started talking to Xiaohua and the others about what had happened before, and I mentioned some of the details I had not told them about in the Zhangjia Ancient Building: the Tibetan ornaments and the two rings found in the coffin, and the story of the last stuffy oil bottle.
Xiaohua was very emotional after hearing this, he seemed to be a little tired of all these mysteries, he told me that he usually does not have such emotions, for him, his whole life is something he does not want to experience, from taking over the whole family when he was a child, participating in the whole struggle, all kinds of disgusting things he has experienced. He is no longer bored with a certain way of life, but now he has such emotions, which shows the seriousness of the matter.
I showed Xiaohua the strings of Tibetan-style jewelry that I brought out of the coffin, and I drew some of the jewelry that I didn't bring out, and after Xiaohua saw it, she said to me: "These are all ornaments of the Tibetan Buddhist system, which can only show that the owner of the coffin seems to be more interested in Tibetan things, but it can't explain more." ”
I said to them, "Since it is in a coffin, I think these burial things will have some special meaning. For example, if it is a little brother, his funeral goods must be black gold ancient knives. If it's Ah Si, maybe it's an iron egg. From the funeral goods, we should be able to reverse some information. ”
Xiaohua said: "You mean he will have Tibetan blood?"
I said, "Maybe he has been active in Tibetan areas for a long time. ”
Xiaohua sighed and said, "The Zhang family's power is very large, and it is not surprising that they sometimes operate in the West/Tibet. ”
I said, "I don't think it's strange, I just think this kind of jewelry is very common, and since we chose these burial companions, there may be some clues on these jewelry that we don't know." If you know someone who understands this, let them come and see it. We can't let go of everything where there may be clues. ”
Xiaohua obviously felt that success was unlikely, I don't know why he had such a prediction, perhaps, after such a thing, to be able to maintain this curiosity of mine, itself is a pathology.
He didn't stop me, though.
We carefully inspected all the jewelry, and the Tibetan jewelry was very large and the workmanship was very rough and violent. Most of the details are traditional Tibetan auspicious things, and if you look closely, you can find that many of them are not even affiliated with Tibetan Buddhism but belong to Bon.
We tried to find something completely different from the ordinary Tibetan jewelry, and most of the jewelry was basically the most ordinary kind, but one thing that made me a little concerned was that in all the jewelry, especially the strings of beads, there was a strange red bead embedded in it.
We all know that most Tibetan jewelry is made of red dzi or red agate, red rosin, and red coral, but this one is not one of these materials.
I asked Xiaohua, "Can you find someone to figure out what kind of stone this is?"
The Xie family's ability to appreciate jewelry is quite high, but obviously Xiaohua is not particularly familiar with this aspect, he has lived in a particularly harsh environment since he was a child, and his main energy is not to learn how to distinguish antiques, which can only be controlled by special talents in the family, so Xiaohua handed these things to Xiuxiu and asked her, "What do you see here?"
I didn't expect Xiuxiu to be very expert in these gems. Sure enough, the woman is different, he looked at the gems and said, "This stone is very rare, it's an organic gemstone." ”
I was stunned for a moment, I had never heard of metal as a gemstone. Xiuxiu said: "This is a mixed mineral with metal components, and the name is still confirmed in the market, but many people call it moonstone. ”
After listening to this, my brain exploded, and I remembered that a large number of these stones were used in the ancient building of Zhangjia to make these mechanisms.
Xiuxiu said: "This stone has many strange characteristics, one of which is that it is particularly suitable for miniature carving, and many people will engrave special and secret information on it, because its own toughness can make the miniature carving very clear." ”
I took the stone from Xiuxiu's hand, looked at it carefully, and said, "There doesn't seem to be anything on it." ”
Xiuxiu said: "In order to hide the information, this information will be engraved around the perforation. You see, isn't the perforation very rough? If you look at it now, it looks like it's just worn out, but it may have a lot of tiny patterns carved on it. ”
Xiuxiu said and took out her mobile phone, activated an app inside, and put it on the gem, so the gem was magnified several times, and sure enough, you can see that this circle is a very regular micro-carved pattern. I took a breath of cold air and looked at it carefully, while letting Xiuxiu continue to zoom in a bit.
Xiuxiu shook her head: "You need professional instruments to zoom in again, but I think you can see it very clearly when you look at it like this, and this scorpion is carved on it." ”
