Chapter 164: The Guardian
And she originally thought that the method of collecting the rags was not used at all, and the space was piled up.
Now that I think about her whimsical beginning, she was too deeply poisoned, and then bravely entered the ancient capital with the trivial experience of asking for food and rags, and I also feel that I am the second in the middle. Sure enough, you have to go through the beating of society to grow!
However, fortunately, I didn't return empty-handed, and it was my good luck to meet these two.
The tench doesn't seem to owe a favor, so after saying that, he stared at this one to see what he decided.
The tench was looking at the old black man, and the old black man was also staring straight into her eyes, and then, "Can you wait two more days?" If you can wait, you go to this location tonight, it is inconvenient to talk here, and we will talk in detail when the time comes. ”
Ding Yu took the address handed over, relying on the courage of the artist, he felt that his skills were not bad, so he agreed without hesitation.
The location of the meeting made the tench not expect it to be at the house of the old man black, and the old man at the scrapyard in the west was also there.
"It's coming!"
It was the old man from the scrap yard in the west who greeted the tench, and the old man in black still didn't speak as always, and nodded when he saw the tench coming over.
The old man from the scrapyard on the west side of the tench seemed very happy, and this time he introduced himself as Zhong, and the black-faced old man at the scrapyard on the east side was surnamed Ma, and the tench could call them Old Man Zhong and Old Man Ma.
"Little girl, you're not a local, so I don't know about the two of us. In this city, the two of us are not dead, and we are also famous, you can go out and inquire about the 'Zhong Zhangyin and Ma Shenshou'. Although they were all nicknamed decades ago, many people still know about them. So, little girl, don't worry, our two dead old men won't hurt you for no reason, a little girl you just met, it's really alas, this matter, our two old men are ashamed. ”
Next, the tench listened to Old Man Zhong tell the ins and outs of the matter-
The reason why Old Man Zhong has the title of Zhong Zhangyin is because of the craftsmanship of his family's ancestors who have been engraved and engraved for generations, and the Zhong family can be regarded as a number of people in the ancient capital with this craft that has been passed down for several generations.
And the title of the old man horse, the horse god hand, is even more promising, he is called the god hand because of his fake craftsmanship, and he is named after the fake and the true.
The horse god hand is not only this profession, he also has another more dangerous profession - tomb robbery!
The Ma family can be neighbors with a family like the Zhong family, and the family business must be very expensive, and secretly robbing tombs is the main source of the Ma family's property.
Later, the country was invaded by foreign enemies, and the Ma family was not a bad race, and the bloody adult men all gave up enjoying wealth and wealth to participate in the war of resistance, and the only adult man who was left behind was the old man Ma.
At that time, Old Man Ma had just reached adulthood, and all his fathers, brothers and elders had joined the army, leaving him with only a male and a family of children.
In the following years, he continued to receive news of the death of his family members on the battlefield, and he supported the elderly at home, and the young widow arranged to remarry. Later, the ancient capital was affected by the war, in order to protect his uncle's family and nephews, his wife and children died in the war.
Only this is not the worst, the most miserable ancient people were occupied by the enemy, and they all knew that the Ma family was rich, and the old man Ma had just lost his wife and children at that time, and the old mother thought that he was hostile to the enemy who killed them, but in order to keep the rest of the Ma family, he had to endure the hatred. But in private, he acted frequently, and the enemy almost wiped out the whole family.
Fortunately, the Ma family is not alone, after all, it is on our own territory, and we secretly operate to steal most of the remaining members of the Ma family and send them out. But in this way, the Ma family's property is all gone.
As the inheritor of the Ma family's craftsmanship, the old man Ma will of course have the Ma family's ability to rob tombs. At that time, it was not liberated, and in order to stay alive, the old man Ma gathered their tomb robbers and went down to the tomb a few times. I don't know why, they accidentally stumbled into a tomb of a prince who didn't know that dynasty, and made out precious treasures in it that they couldn't spend for several lifetimes.
They were also liberated soon after finishing that vote, and it didn't take so much money for them to get the East XZ, ready to wait until the right time to dig up this batch of treasures.
"After the liberation, there has been no opportunity to bring out those treasures, and the golden and prosperous antiques in the troubled times know this truth better than anyone else. This delay dragged on to the turbulence of the times.
In the early days of liberation, they were not like the Ma family, they knew what they were, they couldn't wipe their buttocks clean, and they were afraid to stay at home one by one, and then they all hid abroad in a hurry. But there were too many treasures, they couldn't take too much with them, and after discussing them, they finally left Lao Ma to guard the treasures, wanting to wait for the situation to be better, and then come back and have the capital to start. ”
After saying so much, Old Man Zhong was thirsty, and picked up the tea that Old Man Ma poured for him to moisten his throat. Taking advantage of this gap, the tench asked his doubts,
"This should be their secret, let Old Man Ma guard the treasure, that old man Zhong, how did you know so much detail?"
Old man Zhong snorted unhappily, "My family also did this business, and I was also one of the participants back then. They were afraid that Lao Ma would steal the treasure alone after they went abroad, so they asked me to participate in the supervision, saying that they would be paid when the time came. ”
Old man Zhong didn't want to take this job when he knew it at the time. The Zhong family and the Ma family are neighbors, the two grew up together, they are good friends and brothers, and of course he will not agree to let him do such a thing. But his mother was alive at that time, and she agreed for him, saying that she would guard the family business for his grandfather and uncles.
Then the brother Lao Ma also came to persuade him, saying that he would not move such a mind, everyone had saved the life of his Ma family, and he would definitely abide by the promise he made, for the sake of their peace of mind, let Old Man Zhong agree.
As a result, Old Man Zhong also became one of the guardians of this treasure.
"So what do you say now? Why did you find me? ”
Old Man Zhong and Old Man Ma glanced at each other, but Old Man Zhong spoke, "After they went out, they were very smart and knew that they had to huddle together to keep warm, and they didn't separate." Many years ago, when the policy was still loose, there was news that it was good over there, and the family wealth that I originally brought together said that I had opened a company, and I didn't need to buy that batch of treasures for the time being.
You also know the domestic situation in the past few years, so we have cut off contact. During this time, the policy was loosened, and I don't know how they operated, but not long ago, they sent us a letter, saying that the company they opened was in trouble, and they urgently needed capital turnover, and they wanted to come back to get the treasure. Let's both prepare. ”
