Chapter 5 The Mystery of the Emerald Fish (1)

Hey, I was amazed by what I was looking for, there are still people in this small place in Yiding City who collect this kind of high-quality goods.

The man dropped the lacquer boxes, pushed them in front of me, and raised his hand for me to take a closer look.

A palm-sized white glutinous jade fish from the Shang and Zhou dynasties, I quickly took out gloves from the drawer and put them on my hands.

Shang and Zhou are far away from this year, although the jade unearthed is not small, but most of them are some Hetian old jade, like the jade made of jade in my hand is very rare. Generally, the antique market is not circulated by Shang Zhou or last week, but in my opinion, this should be the former.

"This." I put the jade fish back in the box, and my expression was a little solemn, "I can't take this." โ€

"Rest assured, this is our family heirloom and very clean. If it weren't for the serious illness of the elderly in my family, I wouldn't have cashed it out. โ€

It's not that you can't accept it, but you don't have the courage to accept it. In the Shang and Zhou dynasties, eighty percent of the objects that could be preserved were dug out of the soil, and the black fat man ran the train with his mouth full, if this was an ancestral heirloom, then his ancestor must not be a relative of the emperor.

"You can get on the auction house in minutes, or I'll introduce you to a few channels." I still insisted on refusing, although this thing fits my eyes very well, but the most taboo thing to do is to be stained with fish.

"I'm really in a hurry to get money, or the auction house will be in the morning." Another layer of sweat appeared on the man's forehead, and he gave me a number under the table, "At this price, you can see if it will work." โ€

20,000 yuan!

I blinked, my jaw almost fell to my chest in shock, this is a big bargain, it's no problem to sell it dozens of times.

"It's not impossible, whoever doesn't have an urgent matter at home should help you." I tried to hide the smile on my face, and hurriedly signed a check from the back room, for fear that the man would regret it, "Is the check okay?" โ€

The man didn't hesitate, then nodded and raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his face, picked up the check and left in a hurry.

Usually when I make this kind of big order, I will invite the boss opposite to have a meal together, and this person comes and goes in a hurry, maybe there is a real urgency at home.

I took off my gloves and handed the lacquer box to Anhao: "Look at this quality, look at this color, never?" โ€

"Emerald Fish." An Hao casually picked up the magnifying glass on the table and observed, "There is also a woman lying on the couch engraved on it." โ€

"What?" I raised my eyebrows a little excited, and took it from An Hao's hand.

Most of the Shang and Zhou jades were mostly flat, and most of the jade was cut into plate-like wool before being processed and shaped. Most of the carving techniques are shallow, and the jade fish in my hand is like this, the material is thin and the notches are shallow, and the plane light element greatly exerts the natural beauty of the jade.

It presents the shape of a fish as a whole, with a hole in the eye of the fish, which should be worn as jade, and the fish is carved with a woman half-lying on the bed, and the dress is also a woman in the Shang and Zhou dynasties, I guess it may be a token of love between ancient lovers.

An Hao crossed his hands in front of his chest, held the ancient sword, and whispered to himself: "Why is this thing so familiar. โ€

"Can you ever see this?" I chuckled, and said in my heart that I am not as good as you in catching ghosts, but I am an expert in antiques, "Just this kind of quality, you can find ten in the world, you are very good." โ€

Ann Hao ignored me, staring at the emerald fish on the table as if thinking about something.

"Hiss", as soon as I picked up the jade fish, I found that my finger was cut by the table, and I blew my finger to wipe the blood stains on the jade fish.

An Hao put the jade fish in my hand back into the lacquer box, took the medicine box on the windowsill and bandaged it for me: "The old object is unlucky with blood. โ€

The sunset sprinkled all over the Jade Mountain, and the entire snow-capped mountain looked golden. All in all, today can be regarded as good luck, although it is a loss for a Nanmu cabinet, but it is also open to pick up a piece of Shangzhou jade. There is an Anhao in the store, and the qin spirit does not dare to come to trouble again during the day.

As soon as I finished dinner, I stretched out and walked out of the store to get some air, and caught a glimpse of An Hao sitting on the doorstep.

The street lamp was dim and dark, and he was holding a cigarette in one hand and touching the big yellow dog at the fruit stall next door with the other, and his bangs covered half of his face, and I couldn't see the expression on his face at all.

Just when I didn't know what to say, An Hao opened his mouth first: "How much do you know about our family's affairs?" โ€

The yawn was half-amplified, and I froze in place. Xin said that I was kicked out by the An family since I was a child, and I have been living in the city with my parents. The so-called two ears don't hear what is going on outside the window, and I am not interested in knowing the things in the family.

"I don't know anything about the An family, and I don't care." I replied casually, wanting to end the topic quickly, "By the way, good brother, why were you kicked out by the An family?" Is it because you're a Taoist? โ€

An Hao nodded, the flame of the cigarette butt flickered on and off, and he took a hard puff of cigarette.

"If you want me to say that this An family is sick, what you want to do is your own choice, and what can you do in the way of the family when you are a Taoist. You say yes, good brother. โ€

Before I could finish my sentence, I got up and walked back to the store.

This kid really doesn't understand the amorous feelings, and he annoys me with two nagging sentences, and I can't help but roll my eyes when I look at An Hao's back, and I say that the freaks of the An family are more and more weird than the other.

The night came quickly, and today's encounter was simply exhausting.

Thinking about everything that happened during the day, sleepiness slowly set in.

"Giggle......

Half-asleep and half-awake, I was woken up by the strange sound of grinding my teeth coming from the bedside.

By the moonlight I was dazzled and half-opened, the noise stopped abruptly, and the phone screen that lit up showed that it was only five o'clock in the morning, and my heart said that I could continue to sleep again.

"Giggle......

As soon as I closed my eyes, the strange grinding sound sounded again, and this time I was awake and could clearly feel the sound coming from the end of my bed.

I swallowed and squinted like the foot of a bed.

The narrow oval black shadow was reflected at the foot of the bed, and I stared at the black shadow for half a minute, how could it feel as if it was moving towards me.

A woman appeared in front of my bed, her long hair covering her face.

Even though I've seen a lot of ghosts, the sudden discovery of a female ghost standing next to my bed on this big night still startles me.

"Get out of here!" I scolded the female ghost in a hoarse voice, in fact, the ghost can't hurt people directly, and it's generally good to ignore her in this situation.

But in the next second, my body couldn't move as if under a spell, and my voice couldn't make a sound at all.

The woman stood still and looked up, the joints on her body clicking, and this time I finally saw her face.

"This body seems to be pretty good."

It was an extremely narrow grimace that was different from that of a human, with two rows of fangs exposed, glowing green in the darkness.

The 'woman' writhed her body, looking even more terrifying in the darkness. She leaned down slowly, a weird smile on her lips, and suddenly reached out her hands and pounced on me.

"Oh-oh-" After a rooster crowed, I instantly woke up from my dream.

Almost at the same time, the bedside alarm went off, and I bounced out of bed and panted and looked around. The sunlight shone in through the half-hidden curtains, and the ghost hair in the house was not visible.

Usually I see a lot of hell, but I am prone to nightmares.

I rubbed my eyes, visibly feeling that I hadn't slept enough, and yawned and walked to the bathroom.

"Poofโ€”"

The toothpaste foam in my mouth squirted out, and I staggered back a few steps, looking at myself in the mirror, five bruised finger prints around my neck.

This was pinched by a female ghost in a dream?
