I saw that the gate of the antique market was rusty, and the big iron gate was half-hidden. The square in front of the door is full of all kinds of cars, including rare luxury cars, sandwiched between a water van and three jumpers, abrupt and very stylish.

"What clues did you get, do you have to find them here?" Lin Xiaoyu asked.

I took out my mobile phone, opened a photo, and showed it to Lin Xiaoyu, "The clue that the old Ji Tuo people found said that there was a copper box here not long ago. ”

"What's so strange about a copper box?"

Lao Ji said that the workmanship of this kind of box is very exquisite, and it is very close to the old Seven Houses Key, which should be something of the same era. And the function of this box is very special, in ancient times it was used to transmit secret messages, only the two sides knew the secret, this box was buried underground with the owner, obviously did not want the secret to spread in the world. "He said that there were very few of these boxes on the market, and most of them were ghosts, so I came here to try my luck." ”

Lin Xiaoyu turned around happily, seemed to be very curious about this place, and said happily, "Okay, okay, I've never been to this kind of place anyway, so you should take me to see it." ”

She turned around like a little girl who couldn't think about it, her eyes were very curious about what she saw, she touched it here for a while, and looked over there for a while, asking questions and asking questions, and she was never tired of it.

"Hey, Li Rui, this jade Ruyi is so beautiful, let's take a look?"

I glanced at the jade Ruyi quickly, and then habitually looked at the store. The shopkeeper looked fierce, and the customers who came and went rarely stopped at his door. I gently pulled Lin Xiaoyu, "Hey, don't worry." ”

"What's wrong?" Lin Xiaoyu asked curiously.

"That's parallel imports."

"Ah, parallel goods?"

"Shhhh I hurriedly motioned to Lin Xiaoyu to adjust her shocked expression, "You're not afraid that he will chase us out?" ”

"Still beating us?"

"Nonsense, he's so fierce, who knows if he'll come to beat us, if he gets in a hurry, we'll be miserable, this is someone else's territory."

Lin Xiaoyu nodded obediently, but she was immediately attracted by other things, and disappeared without paying attention. I searched for a while, but she came out of nowhere, "Hey, do you think I'm okay with this stone?" ”

She held a fist-sized rough stone in her hand, and said with a smile: "Is this a piece of Xinjiang Hetian jade, or is it Laokeng seed material?" I looked at her smug expression and thought, "You're a fool." "Then I thought about it, I actually lied to people under my nose, how can I do it.

"Where did you buy it?"

"There!"

I walked in the direction of Lin Xiaoyu's finger, and said, "Boss, you are cheating us, this is clearly a fake opening, you fool us young?" ”

"Young man, don't talk nonsense, we are doing business here, operating with integrity, how can we sell you fake things!"

"Huh." I snorted coldly, "Don't say I'm not kind, don't say that your rough stone is not Laokeng seed material, even Qinghai Mine will be, right?" I think it's either Russian or Korean. ”

The boss looked at me with wide eyes, and after a while, he laughed again and gave me a thumbs up, "Awesome, awesome, you lad is amazing!" I've been running a shop here for more than ten years, and I've seen countless people, and it's the first time I've seen a master like you. ”

"Fortunately, your thing is in good condition, and the price is fair, if you don't fool around, I guess someone really bought it."

"Hehe, you've dismantled my stage, how can anyone buy it? Or you can take it. ”

"Gotta get it, how can I have this bodhisattva heart."

Lin Xiaoyu on the side heard it inexplicably, "Li Rui, you are really amazing, I only knew it was fake at a glance, I owe you today, otherwise I would happily buy it home and not know that I was slaughtered." ”

"Let me tell you, the people here are all very good, the so-called not opening for a year, opening for a year, talking about the slaughter of you laymen."

"Looks like you're the right one."

"Come on, let's go shopping elsewhere, these things you are looking for are probably found in the corner, they specialize in stealing cold food, and there are many things."

"What do you mean by stealing cold rice?"

"Stealing cold rice is about the boss's subordinates secretly trading with the seller without telling the boss to ship the goods themselves. Some bosses have stored some treasures in the warehouse themselves, either waiting for a high price to be traded, or they have kept them themselves. “”

"Oh, I see."

"Didn't your friend say that this thing is rare on the market, and maybe some bosses will engage in collecting. So, it's right to ask someone who steals cold rice. ”

I found two people who were trading in an inconspicuous corner, and when they saw me and Lin Xiaoyu approaching, they immediately became vigilant, and one person took out two cigarettes from his pocket, handed one to his partner, and then pretended to smile and said, "Friend, is there a fire?" ”

Another person immediately understood and laughed, "I don't smoke!" ”

He was about to leave, and I immediately stopped him, "Dude wants to ask for directions, I don't know if it's convenient?" ”

The two of them first glanced at each other, and then looked at me and Lin Xiaoyu carefully for a while, looking very distrustful of us, "You two are young, what are you doing here asking questions?" ”

"We studied archaeology, don't we come here to accumulate practical experience?"

"Oh, college students?" One of the tall black men was still skeptical, and pondered me carefully for a while, as if he couldn't see any clues, he looked Lin Xiaoyu up and down in a circle, "You said you are students, do you have a certificate?" ”

"Big brother, what are you kidding?" I laughed and said, "Who comes to the antique market with a student ID?" ”

The other thin-faced man immediately became anxious, "Hey, there's no evidence that anyone believes you!" Brother dog, let's ignore them and take a walk. ”

"Hey, hey, I'm not asking in vain!" I reached into my inner pocket, and I was sure that the two men would not let go of the meat in their mouths as soon as they said this.

Sure enough, the tall black man immediately stopped, and a smile appeared on his face, with a face like a mother with milk. I didn't even look at it, I withdrew my hand, snorted coldly, and turned my head dismissively to leave.

"Hey, hey, wait."

"I don't think there's any need to wait, come out of the runway and pay attention to the rules, we don't have to rely on your door, it's the same for other houses."

"Hey, hey, you're wrong, you can inquire about the place here, if you don't have anything here, it won't be in the hands of others!" The tall black man was full of confidence and confidence when he spoke, "I know that you archaeology students like to find some strange things, not that I brag, if you take an eye on me, if you don't have you, you won't be able to find this huge market even if you turn it upside down!" ”

In the distance, the mountains stretch silently on which the auspicious clouds of Babao are dotted, and there is a small village on the hillside, and as evening approaches, the curling smoke rises. To the east of the hillside is a dense forest, and there are no shadows of birds on the treetops, except for a few birdsong calls occasionally heard from the forest.

Water is so precious here that families rely on water that flows from streams into the ditches below the hillsides. The canal is in a cemetery, and the tombstones are crooked, and some simply do not have tombstones. Many of the coffins were left outside, and there was not even a single pit dug in the earth, and it was not known whether they had been turned over or thrown on the spot.

Looking down from the hillside, you can see this antique market. A little boy with a face covered in mud ran down the hillside at a rapid pace, not on the mountain road, but through the dense forest, and took a shortcut. The little boy was obviously accustomed to playing in the mountains, running on the slopes as if he were walking on the ground, and disappeared as soon as he slipped through the smoke.

He slipped into a dog hole in the wall and ran in, shouting as he ran, "Uncle Dog, what treasure do you see I've picked up?" ”

The little boy was still childish, estimated to be ten years old, but he was very sophisticated, and he spoke with a straight eye. I saw him run straight to the black tall man, took his hand, and smiled proudly, "Uncle Dog, this time you give this baby a look." ”

The black tall man was afraid that it was some of his relatives, and he was obviously too familiar to know him anymore, and scolded: "Don't you see that I have a guest here?" If you don't have any rules, turn around and ask your mother to beat you! ”

The little boy grimaced, then snorted, shook off a heavy burden on his back, and slammed it to the ground, then crouched on the ground, his eyes staring straight at the tall black man.

The black tall man immediately cried out in distress, "Ouch, you stinky boy, your hands and feet are neither light nor heavy, isn't it a fucking sin for you to break something!" He hurriedly picked up the baggage, carefully untied it, and carefully picked up everything to check it well, "It's okay, it's okay, I haven't broken the corners or anything." So saying, he raised his hand and struck the little boy.

The little boy was even more clever, quickly dodged, sat up from the ground, and scolded: "You are a dog, you dare to beat Lao Tzu!" ”

"Hey, what do you call me, it's not big or small, I'll beat you, what's wrong with beating you?" As he spoke, he was about to catch up. I habitually glanced at the little boy's baggage, which contained three bronze mirrors and two clay pots, all of which were ordinary things of little value.

"Hey, you think this little boy is quite interesting, right?"

"This kid probably picked up these things in the mountains, and they are all ghosts."

"Huh?" Lin Xiaoyu looked at me in surprise, and unconsciously looked at the little boy who was fighting, and didn't dare to connect with him, "How is this possible, he is still a child." ”

"I didn't say that he robbed the tomb, I guess there is a tomb in this mountain, and I don't know what the reason is, maybe it was washed out by the rain or left by other tomb robbers, and he finally picked it up." I looked at the little boy and analyzed, "You see that he is obviously very familiar with this dog brother, and it is estimated that he has not traded with him once or twice, and there is either a big tomb or a tomb group on this mountain!" ”

After listening to my analysis, Lin Xiaoyu unconsciously glanced at the burden, and suddenly she exclaimed in surprise, "Li Rui, look!" ”

"What?"

Lin Xiaoyu pointed to the lid of the baggage, and a square box showed a corner underneath. My eyes widened suddenly, I looked at Lin Xiaoyu, and said in surprise: "This is-"

"Yes, yes, the box in your photo is very similar." Lin Xiaoyu chased after him excitedly and shouted, "Little friend, little friend." ”

The little boy came over with a puzzled look on his face when he heard Lin Xiaoyu calling him, and asked, "Big sister, what are you asking me to do?" ”

"Child, my sister asks you, where did you find these things?"

The little boy was very alert, and he was silent, he shook his head and turned to run. Unexpectedly, he was stopped by the black tall man behind him, "Hey, where are you going?" ”
