Chapter 4, Fat Brother

The next morning, Zhou Qiao got up early in the morning, had breakfast, and began to wander around, he found that the commercial atmosphere of Jingdezhen was quite strong, and there were all kinds of signboards on the streets, such as Ming and Qing dynasty ceramics, ancient jade of the Han Dynasty, antique calligraphy and painting......

Zhou Qiao spun around, and accidentally collided with a person, who scolded and said:

"Who doesn't have long eyes when walking?"

Zhou Qiao wanted to apologize, but when he heard the voice, he looked up, and hey... Wasn't this one of the Tufuzi he met in the deep mountains and old forests;

It was a fat man about thirty years old, wearing a famous brand, a thick necklace around his neck, a gold ring and gold earrings on his hand, and a nouveau riche face, which was completely different from what he saw in the deep mountains and old forests.

Zhou Qiao glanced at the other party, and said with a smile, "Who did you just scold?"

"I ......" the fat man paused, "You hit someone, why are you still blaming buddy"

Zhou Qiao smiled and said: "I was about to apologize, who knew that your mouth would be ~ dirty"

The fat man smiled and said, "Little brother is a foreigner...... You are here to travel, meeting is fate, brother will take you around, see and see good things" After speaking, he stretched out his fat paw and patted Zhou Qiao's shoulder, Zhou Qiao immediately frowned and hidden.

The fat man withdrew his palm, rubbed his hands and smiled: "Little brother, I'm sorry...... I'm a little bit stronger......"

Zhou Qiao ignored it and turned his head and walked forward, the fat man hurriedly chased after him, and said with a smile: "I'm not a liar, little brother, don't be in a hurry...... Let's make friends...... My name is Zhang Bawan, I am the most righteous person, little brother, your surname? ”

The fat man followed Zhou Qiao with a hippie smile, "Brother, I am a local, and I know where there are good things... Little brother, do you want to see it..."

Zhou Qiao was wearing a new dress bought yesterday, carrying a bulging cowhide bag on his shoulder, thinking that the other party must have thought that he was a rich man, if the other party knew that he was a corpse chaser, the bag was not filled with RMB but a few yellow talismans, a bell, and some miscellaneous items, I don't know how to feel, looking at the other party, he suddenly showed a smile, "Okay, make a friend...... Free of your surname Zhou"

When the fat man heard this, he was overjoyed, "I know that Brother Zhou is a cheerful person, let's go ......" pulled Zhou Qiao to the front.

Zhou Qiao saw that the other party was as enthusiastic as fire, and he couldn't bear to brush off the other party's kindness, so he let him pull, and the two came to a remote place, there was a small shop in the corner, the store was ordinary, and the plaque was engraved with three big characters "Shibaolou".

Zhou Qiao asked, "The good things you said are here?" ”

The fat man nodded: "Yes......" After speaking, he walked straight in,

"Don't look at the shabby appearance of the treasure building, but there are definitely good things inside......"

The two entered the shop, the walls around it were full of antique calligraphy and paintings, there was a table by the window, a pot of green plants was placed next to it, and a row of cabinets was placed in the corner of the wall.

This treasure building should be the treasure room of these tomb robbers, there are a lot of things in it, ceramic jade, only a box on a cabinet shelf made Zhou Qiao quite surprised, through the box Zhou Qiao can also smell the smell inside, it is actually a "coffin fungus", this is very rare, it is rumored to cure all diseases,

When Zhou Qiao's gaze moved to the cabinet on the other side, his expression changed, there were actually a few bronzes in that counter! Although these bronzes are rusty, they are indeed genuine! Zhou Qiao observed carefully, these bronzes are some quaint plates, bowls, tripods and other items,

Although the rust is serious, the carved ornaments on them can still be vaguely recognized, and Zhou Qiao also noticed that the colors of these plates and bowls are different, one of the bronze bowls has the most vivid color, it looks like it should be from the Tang Dynasty, and the rest of the objects have nothing special.

"Oh, Brother Zhou, look at you like this, you know how to do it" The fat man came over,

Zhou Qiao said perfunctorily: "I just know a little bit about it"

When the fat man heard this, he became even more excited, "It seems that Brother Zhou is really not an ordinary person......"

Zhou Qiao said: "It's okay to talk about it, you just said that there are good things, are they all antiques here?" ”

The fat man nodded: "It's all genuine, look at that bottle......"

Zhou Qiao looked in the direction pointed by the fat man, and sure enough, there was a beautiful rosewood box on a counter, with a layer of red paper pasted on it. The lid had been opened, and through the gap it could be seen a small and delicate bottle lying inside, which looked like a wine jug, but there was something different, there were two round holes in the bottom of the bottle, like a tube filled with liquid.

The fat man picked up the bottle and shook it in front of Zhou Qiao and said, "This is not simple......

Zhou Qiao said curiously: "Isn't this just a wine jug?"

The fat man shook his head and said: "It's not that simple, I dare to assert that this is definitely the ...... used by Emperor Qianlong."

Maybe, anyway, Zhou Qiao has no interest in this thing, whether it is from the Qianlong period or not, in short, in his eyes, this thing is a dead thing, without any value.

Zhou Qiao looked around inside, the fat man came over and asked if there was anything he was interested in, he could sell it to him at a low price as a favor, Zhou Qiao turned around and walked to the box he saw at the beginning, and pointed:

"How does this sell?"

The fat man's face changed, and he asked again

"You... OK for this"

"Hmm"

……………

Zhou Qiao nodded, "How much?"

The fat man pondered for a moment, "I can give it to Brother Zhou, and I won't charge you money, but you have to owe me a favor, brother, I can see that you are not an ordinary person."

"Don't look for me about murder and arson......"

"Don't look for me when digging graves......

Zhou Qiao said in a low voice, as soon as these words came out, the fat man hurriedly glanced around, and when he saw that there was no one else nearby, he quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Brother Zhou, who are you......"

Zhou Qiao said: "I'm just a corpse chaser"

"The corpse chaser..."

The fat man chattered a few times and said, "No wonder you can't hide it from your brother, I didn't expect it."

Zhou Qiao smiled: "You know how to count"

The fat man smiled bitterly, "People like us, in addition to knowing how to order ancestral craftsmanship, mix up and eat, and do our business, maybe one day we will die, the world is difficult, we are all fighting for money with our lives, and we are also forced to do it."

"You understand people"

"Alas, people don't destroy the heavens and the earth for themselves, how can it be so easy to make money these days,"

The fat man poured bitter water on Zhou Qiao, and secretly told Zhou Qiao that a few days ago, he and two other sworn brothers dug an ancient tomb in a deep mountain, but found nothing, and was injured by the organs in the tomb, and suffered heavy losses, and the other brother is still lying in the hospital, Zhou Qiao looked uncomfortable, touched his nose and changed the topic.

The two chatted for a while, and when they saw that the meal was ordered, the fat man proposed to eat hot pot.

Zhou Qiao happily agreed, and after the two left Shibaolou, they found a restaurant casually, ordered a few dishes and waited for the hot pot.

After the hot pot came up, the two began to stir up the dishes.

The fat man drank a few glasses of beer, and his face turned red, "Brother Zhou...... Belch...... If my brother is in trouble one day, you can't die without help."

Zhou Qiao smiled and said, "As long as you don't break the rules, it's easy to discuss" After three rounds of drinking, both of them were a little drunk, and the meal was almost the same Zhou Qiao rushed to pay, after all, the fat brother gave him the coffin fungus, and it was really embarrassing to let him break the bank, and he didn't want to drink on the road, so he crashed into a soft embrace, and looked up to see that it was a charming-looking girl

The girl is about 20 years old, wearing a light blue suspender, high heels, black hair shawl, and her charming appearance is pleasing to the eye.

Zhou Qiao took a step back in embarrassment, and the girl was also stunned

Zhou Qiao was also embarrassed, and quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, I slipped my foot just now, ......"

The girl reacted and was about to say that it was okay, but her companion quit, and a teenager of the same age as Zhou Qiao scolded angrily, "Where did you get the dog thing, where did you hit it, you are blind."

Zhou Qiao frowned and said, "How can you talk?"

"Dog thing, I'll scold you for how to drop" The young man said arrogantly,

"Smack-"

Zhou Qiaoyang slapped his hand directly on the young man's face,

"This slap is a warning to you for your insulting words," Zhou Qiao said

This sudden action attracted onlookers from everyone in the store, and the restaurant owner also came out to prevent the situation from deteriorating further.

"...... You dare to hit me...... You wait for me, I won't be able to kill you, my surname is not Yang" The young man looked at the people around him and pointed at him, and he was unwilling to leave a vicious threat, and pulled the girl out of the store.

The fat man hurriedly greeted him: "Brother Zhou, you ...... You okay? ”

"It's okay"

"That little bastard didn't bully you, did he?"

"It's okay, you don't have to worry, the person who can bully me hasn't been born yet" Zhou Qiao smiled and said;

After eating, Zhou Qiao said goodbye and left, and left an address for the fat man when he left, so that the fat man could go to Xiangxi to find him if he had something, Zhou Qiao walked around alone before returning to the hotel, and returned to the room Zhou Qiao was about to wash and rest, there was a knock in front of the door, and he opened the door and found that it was a strange uncle

"Little brother, I'll bring you boiling water." Zhou Qiao didn't have any suspicions, and the uncle left after handing him the boiling kettle.

At night, Zhou Qiao drank the water in the kettle, went to bed, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in his stomach in the middle of the night, thinking that he had eaten too much hot pot at noon and didn't care too much about it.

didn't think about it, it didn't take long for the pain to get more and more painful, Zhou Qiao was in a cold sweat, his hands and feet were weak, and he wanted to gag, Zhou Qiao hurriedly got up and ran towards the bathroom, and spit out a lot of filthy things at once, only to see a bunch of white insects moving his body on the pile of vomit, Zhou Qiao was disgusted, and immediately reacted that he was poisoned;

Zhou Qiao endured the severe pain all over his body, took out a few golden needles from the baggage, first sealed a few acupuncture points to relieve the pain, and then pressed a few key acupuncture points hard, made a cut on his hand with a knife, and then took out a small black bottle from the baggage, and poured out a pill,

The corpse chaser often walks in the mountains, and the mountains are full of poisonous insects, so Zhou Qiao will refine some antidote medicine to carry with him in case of emergency, if others are poisoned, they are afraid that they will not be saved, Zhou Qiao is different, he has been in contact with corpses since he was a child, and he has been dealing with poisonous insects all year round, and the evil qi on his body is usually hidden, and he will protect his body if he encounters danger.

And the family heirloom of chasing corpses records the Gu poison in Miao Jiang in great detail, the corpse chaser has his own unique method to remove the Gu poison, Zhou Qiao silently recited the incantation, until the Gu poison in the body was forced out of the internal organs little by little, forced to the blood flowed out of the hand, until the black blood turned bright red, he stopped the mouth on his hand, although he was not dead, he collapsed.

Zhou Qiao was paralyzed on the bed, his forehead was covered with beads of sweat the size of beans, he knew that the Gu poison had been completely eliminated, but because of excessive blood loss, it was estimated that he would have to recuperate for at least a while, and took out his notebook to rummage through what kind of Gu he was;

Raw Snake Gu, this Gu in junior high school, or stomach pain is extremely severe or vomiting for diarrhea, if you don't solve the Gu in time, you will die of poison after forty-eight hours, Zhou Qiao gritted his teeth and said, this time it is really capsized in the gutter, someone would give himself such a vicious Gu, obviously want to put himself to death,

I didn't expect that I would be planted in the hands of the Miao Jiang people, the Miao witch Gu is extremely weird, and they are good at poisoning, not only good at using poisonous insects, but also know how to refine all kinds of strange Gu insects, this time it is considered to have met the opponent.

Zhou Qiao didn't know who killed him, but he was definitely not an ordinary person, Zhou Qiao wanted to call the police, but thinking of his identity, he gave up this plan again;

No matter who it is, since you have poisoned yourself, there is always a way to find out you, Zhou Qiao thought hatefully, as long as you find out who harmed yourself, you will definitely want to live better than die, and you will not want to live.
