262 Turtle Prints

Hao Jian's cousin is a very shy middle-aged man, because he can't speak Mandarin, and he is afraid that Li Manjun can't understand the dialect, so he keeps smiling at her.

Seeing the unfinished biscuits in his son's hand, he knew that Li Manjun gave them, and said to his son in dialect: "You remember to say thank you." ”

"Abba, I said it." Kuroko handed the biscuit to his father and asked him to eat it too.

The man waved his hand and let him eat it himself. Just now, Hao Jian told him that Li Manjun was in a hurry to go back, and there was not much time, so he hurriedly put down the farm tools in his hand, washed his hands and went into the house to take out the things.

Their family lives in a mountain col, surrounded by this one household, and they don't have to fear being seen.

Abba Kuroko took out a cloth bag, the size of a palm, and wrapped it tightly under the cloth with three layers of plastic inside and three layers outside.

Just unpacking the package, Abba Kuroko opened it for a while, and then revealed the true face of the objects inside.

It is a palm-sized, swarthy turtle.

Kuroko Abba flipped the turtle over, revealing its belly, with a deliberate scratch on it, and a golden scratch on the black belly.

At first glance, Hao Jian asked in surprise: "Is it golden?" ”

Kuroko Abba shook his head, if this was made of gold, he would have sold it long ago.

"It's not gold, it's like brass." Li Manjun said affirmatively.

She deals with all kinds of materials every day, and she can guess just by looking at the color.

Abba Heizi handed the turtle to Li Manjun, who first took out the gloves in his bag and put them on, and then took them.

Abba Heizi glanced at Hao Jian, his eyes were full of joy: The people you brought are professional and reliable at first glance.

Kuroko stood behind Li Manjun curiously, seeing what she could see from this black turtle.

The turtle is very small, but it is very heavy in the palm of the hand, and it presses the hand slightly.

The black on its body is the dirt accumulated over the years, and after all of it is erased, it should be a golden copper turtle.

This thing, Li Manjun's half bucket of water can also be seen to be some years, not like a modern imitation.

Heizi reminded Li Manjun: "Auntie, there are words on the turtle's belly." ”

Unfortunately, he didn't know what it was.

When Li Manjun took the turtle in his hand, he felt the lines on his belly, there was too much dirt, and he pressed down the character lines, which was very ambiguous, but he could see that it was a square of words.

If Wan Rongming was here, he would definitely be able to understand what this was. Even if you can't read it, you can guess when it is.

Li Manjun took the turtle and looked at it for a moment, and guessed: "This may be a seal." ”

"Seals?" Hao Jian asked in surprise: "Aren't all chapters boxy?" ”

"Ancient seals have a variety of shapes, such as this turtle print, indicating that the user's identity is not ordinary, and it may be a prince and noble." Li Manjun said softly.

She looked at the turtle twice, wrote down all the details, and carefully returned it to Abba Kuroko.

"Is it valuable?" Abba Kuroko asked Hao Jian in a low voice.

Hao Jian asked Li Manjun again, Li Manjun was not sure, "It looks like an antiquity, where did you get it, cousin?" ”

Hao Jian translated it into dialect for Abba Heizi, he thought about it seriously and said, "I bought it at the market." ”

When Hao Jian heard this, he sighed helplessly, pulled his cousin aside and asked him to tell the truth, but he insisted that he bought it at the market.

"Really?" Hao Jian still didn't believe it.

Abba Kuroko said with a little anger: "It's true, what did I lie to you!" ”

That being said, when Hao Jian told Li Manjun, Li Manjun also felt that Abba Heizi was hiding something.

But the more she did, the more she suspected that there was something wrong with the turtle mark.

However, the seal is not worth much, and it is far less exciting than the porcelain she received last time.

Glancing at the time on the watch, it was half past three, and it would be dark if he didn't go down the mountain and go home, Li Manjun stood up and said:

"Let's get here today, and I'll ask my friend when I get back, he's more professional than me."

Heizi Abba was in a hurry, reached out and grabbed Hao Jian, and asked him if Li Manjun would not accept it.

Hao Jian patted his cousin's shoulder, signaled him to be calm, turned his head to look at Li Manjun, and asked embarrassedly:

"My cousin has never read a book and has no culture, he just wants to sell this thing, Sister Manjun, look at this turtle print, can you accept it?"

Of course, Li Manjun can't accept things that have not been identified, but looking at the anxious eyes of Heizi and his father, he couldn't help but sigh: "Originally, I didn't want to make an exception, but this mountain road is really difficult to walk, and it is not easy for me to make a trip." ”

"Then let's do it, you ask your cousin, I will take this thing for 500 yuan, is he willing?"

"If I take it back and find it worthless, then it's my own."

500 yuan is a lot, and the unit only works for 200 yuan a month, which is two months' wages for an employee.

Hao Jian gratefully clasped his palms at Li Manjun and turned to discuss with his cousin.

Heizi looked at his Abba, and saw that Abba first showed a look of surprise, and then hesitated, afraid that the sale would be low, so he couldn't help but pull Abba's trouser belt, "Abba, you can sell it to Aunt Li, she is a good person and will not lie to us." ”

Before, Abba took the turtle down the mountain and wanted to sell it, but there was a merchant who collected medicinal herbs from other places who only gave five yuan, and he was tempted to sell it, but he didn't think that the merchant was a good person, so he didn't agree to stay.

"We still owe school tuition." Kuroko looked at her hesitant father pleadingly.

Five hundred, that's a lot!

"Cousin, have you thought about it?" Seeing his cousin's hesitant appearance, Hao Jian couldn't help but urge twice: "Sister Manjun is really leaving, and it's not easy for people to come here." ”

Abba Kuroko sighed, nodded, and handed the turtle mark to Li Manjun, "Thank you." ”

Li Manjun understood this sentence, smiled back, took out five hundred yuan in cash from his wallet, and handed it to Abba Heizi.

Kuroko was even happier than his father, and the thin boy couldn't help but laugh out with a mouthful of big white teeth, his eyes full of anticipation, and a moment of relaxation.

At least, tomorrow he can go to school with the money to make up the tuition fees he owes and continue his education.

"Auntie, walk slowly, be careful on the road!"

Before the intersection of the mountain, Kuroko stood on the slope and shouted to Li Manjun.

Li Manjun waved at him, and the young man also raised his hand, trying to wave goodbye to her.

"I'll see you again soon." Li Manjun said with a smile.

The mountain wind brought her words to Kuroko's ears, and the young man was dazed for a moment, not understanding what he meant.

Hao Jian didn't understand either, and on the way down the mountain, he asked curiously: "Sister Manjun, do you still want to come here?" ”

Li Manjun shook his head, "No, I'm going to Heizi's school, Longkou Village Primary School." ”

Hao Jian was confused.

Li Manjun smiled at him, "Give out school supplies to the students." ”

Hao Jian understood what Li Manjun meant, looked at her in surprise for two seconds, and said seriously: "Sister Manjun, you are really a good person. ”

Li Manjun laughed and generously accepted the compliment.
