The aunt untied the cloth, revealing the contents of the cloth completely.

The object is about the size of a palm, and there are notches on several irregular sides, and you can see a slight curvature, and both sides are covered with dense bacteria like silk, so it is impossible to see more information.

The aunt was still very vigilant, put the object on her lap and grabbed the edge of the cloth with both hands, planning that as long as He Zi'an made a slight move, she would cover it as soon as possible, and get up and go into the house to hide.

"My man said that this old object can be sold for at least 1,000 yuan, and this is what he said ten years ago, and now it costs at least 2,000 yuan."

"Well, the price depends on the condition of the object, and my sister has to let me take a look." He Zi'an smiled.

The aunt shook her head and said, "You don't look like a good person, if you rob or deliberately destroy, how can I explain to a man." ”

When He Zi'an heard this, he was not angry and deliberately applauded, and said: "Sister is so smart, she can definitely make a lot of money in business." ”

"Don't be a sycophant, you just say buy or don't buy."

"Sister, I didn't see the physical object, so I spent money to buy it, so it's better to go directly to the city to buy scratch tickets, and I have to look forward to it." He Zi'an smiled bitterly.

The aunt snorted coldly: "I don't care what you think, anyway, the price is two thousand yuan, if you want to buy it, take the money and leave quickly." ”

He Zi'an has a black line on his forehead, he is still young, and when he saw his aunt talking endlessly, he thought he was a cheerful and simple person, but he didn't expect it to be so difficult.

"Say something you don't like to hear, people like you who collect things everywhere have darker hearts than those who open shops in the city, just a few days ago my man ......"

Auntie started again.

He Zi'an didn't want to listen to nonsense, thinking about your house, and suddenly thought that if the object was really picked up by the aunt's ancestors from the mountains, maybe there was something in the mountains.

So he forcibly interrupted: "You can buy it, but can you tell me if there are any strange rumors in the mountains." ”

"Give money to say."

"You're amazing."

He Zi'an gave a thumbs up, then put down his backpack and opened it, reaching out and taking out a wad of money from his bag and counting it.

The aunt's eyes lit up, she couldn't stop swallowing her saliva, and when He Zi'an handed over two thousand yuan, she said greedily: "I told you that my man encountered a strange thing when he patrolled the mountains, and you gave an extra five hundred yuan, how about it?" ”

He Zi'an was silent.

"I haven't mentioned this to Lao Han." Auntie said.

"Then, give two hundred." He Zi'an bargained.

"Look down on anyone, 200 yuan is just half a month's salary for my man's previous mountain patrol."

"Two hundred and fifty dollars."

"Deal."

The aunt readily agreed, and handed the cloth with the objects on her legs to He Zi'an.

Alas~

He Zi'an sighed in his heart, if he didn't think the object was very special, he wouldn't have to be so troublesome.

After receiving the object in his hand, he put it in his palm, lifted the cloth again, and said, "What kind of strange thing do you say, I'll pay after you finish speaking." ”

"Meizifeng is normal on weekdays, but as long as it rains, it will be foggy, and when people go inside, it's like a ghost hitting a wall, and they can't get out no matter how they walk......"

"This is not unusual, it is normal for the mountains to have a lot of water vapor and fog." He Zi'an said while studying the object in his palm.

"You young man, why are you so impatient?" The aunt counted down a few sentences before she continued, "If you're lucky, you can hear the cry of 'woo', if you're brave enough to follow the cry......"

"Does woo have to be crying? It could be the wind passing through the corroded rock, or the sound of animals. ”

"Don't interrupt." The aunt was afraid that she would not be able to get two hundred and fifty yuan, and her attitude became very rude.

He Zi'an hurriedly apologized.

"After the cry, you will come across a strange old building, which is resplendent in gold, silver and jewels, and the pillars are all made of jade, not to mention ......"

"I'll give you the money, don't add your own imagination to the trouble." He Zi'an couldn't help but interject again.

This time, the aunt was not angry, and even showed a hint of embarrassment, and said: "Anyway, my man has encountered it once, and said that at least I haven't seen such a beautiful building nearby, at least... At least it has to be a prince. ”

Well?

He Zi'an looked down at the object in his hand and let out a sound of surprise.

The material of the object was copper as he guessed, and when the bacteria on the surface were erased, what he saw was a bird seal.

If the object was picked up by Mei Zifeng, combined with the anecdote in the aunt's mouth, then it is very likely that it is not a foreign object but a local one.

But is this possible?

Minhai Province was included in the territory of China during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and the real development was in the early Tang Dynasty, so it was known as the desert of ancient culture, and there were few bronze objects, and some were also after the Sui and Tang dynasties.

No matter.

He felt that he could go and take a look, anyway, it was impossible for the aunt to return the money to himself, so it was better to gamble.

After making up his mind, he picked up the items he put away and put them in the mesh pocket on the side of his backpack, took out three hundred yuan and said to his aunt: "Fifty yuan to rent the old yellow dog for a day, is it okay?" ”

The aunt Lao Huang Dog is very old, the meat is too firewood to eat, and it is not too profitable to exchange it for fifty yuan, almost taking away three hundred yuan with robbery, and said: "Don't return it if you take it away, it will save me and waste food." ”

The old yellow dog was visibly sad.

He Zi'an silently stretched out his hand to smooth the dog's head, got up to say goodbye to his aunt, and left with the old yellow dog.

The old yellow dog turned back three times in one step.

"I'll just be back later." He Zi'an is still very humane, and deliberately appeased.

Only then did the old yellow dog follow him away with peace of mind.

Subsequently, he wandered around the village to find Friday and Zhang Heng, indicating that he was going to go into the mountains.

The two wanted to follow.

He thought about it and didn't refuse, and the three of them walked towards Meizifeng, with the old yellow dog leading the way.

"I can't receive the object, so I take the person's dog away?" Zhang Heng said.

"Can the police wrongfully accuse people?"

He Zi'an squinted, and took out the items in the backpack net bag and handed them to Friday, explaining what happened after the separation.

On Friday, I picked up the cloth and opened the cloth to observe.

"The villagers all said that the mountain ranger disappeared a month ago, so it shouldn't be the man you met." Zhang Heng interjected.

He Zi'an stopped his narration, looked back at the entrance of the village, and said, "The eldest sister has always been very excited." ”

"The villagers said that the rangers were basically not at home, and the daughter-in-law didn't know that she had hooked up with others, so I couldn't help but suspect that there was another reason for the disappearance." Zhang Heng said.

Friday raised his head and said: "No matter where the village is, if someone hasn't returned to the village for half a year, they can pass you on as a wanted criminal, so don't take some gossip to heart." ”

As a victim, He Zi'an was deeply touched and nodded silently.

Zhang Heng didn't approve of it in his heart, and he couldn't refute it here.

The three of them followed the old yellow dog and continued to walk towards the peak.

After being separated from each other, the information was also fully exchanged.

"You're making so much money." Zhang Heng took the copper block and weighed it and complained.

Friday actually meant the same thing, but I couldn't help but say it.

"A single piece is worthless, but if you can find the whole, maybe ......"

"You're dreaming." Zhang Heng poured cold water.

"Ah, didn't I make it clear yesterday evening, I took advantage of you, and as for holding grudges all the time, I will tease you when I have the opportunity." He Zi'an snorted coldly.

"As for you, you're a big money." Zhang Heng nodded seriously.

They didn't know that there were not only the aunts who sold copper in the village, but also other villagers, hiding in the corners of the houses and peeking them into the mountains, their expressions full of strange smells.
