"What did you say? Is there anyone who looks like that?"
A Yuan nodded: "Indeed, it looks like a duck's beak and the inside looks like a snail shell. It's just that you haven't seen it before."
I was greatly shocked when I heard it. It turns out that there are so many sayings, three hundred and sixty lines, which is really the best in practice.
We don’t need to verify the authenticity of Ayuan’s popular science content, and we don’t need to stand on the level of ethics and morals to think that the content we talk about is obscene. It’s good to treat it as a unique knowledge point to expand our own knowledge.
"Forget it, let's not continue talking about this topic. Ah Yuan, I'm asking you something. Has Lao Zhou ever made enemies with anyone?"
"Um...Brother Feng, are you talking about a big hatred or a small hatred?"
"Big hatred, deep hatred!" I said.
A Yuan frowned and shook his head: "As far as I know, Lao Zhou doesn't seem to have a deep enmity with anyone, but... he usually has the worst relationship with Lao Zhuang, and sometimes he often gets violent after drinking too much. "
Lao Zhuang is the middle-aged man with a short head and a round face. He used to sell pork. When he introduced himself, he said that he was good at water and could stay in the water for a day and a night. This guy said he had to take leave two days ago because he had an emergency at home. He's home and hasn't come back yet, so naturally he wasn't involved in what happened that day.
If he and Lao Zhuang usually have a grudge, could it be that he did it secretly?
But if this happens, he has an alibi.
Then things turned out as I expected. The cheongsam girl sent people to the reservoir the next day to fish out Lao Zhou's body and cremate it. Also disposed of was the body of the middle-aged woman who was killed by insects.
Also on this afternoon, Chongzi brought an old man with white hair to see me. Chongzi introduced this man and said: "Brother Feng, Lao Zhou is no longer here. This is the new helper that Sister Ninth has found for us. His name is Mian Lao." Five, nicknamed Lao Mian.”
I glanced at the old man and asked: "Uncle, may I ask what your age is this year?"
The white-haired old man smiled and said: "Gui Geng is not that old. This old man is in his seventies."
I'm speechless. He's already 80 years old. How can he still do this job? What I want is a young man with plenty of energy and a calm temperament! Both men and women are welcome! Why did you send me such a bad old man?
As if aware of my dissatisfaction, Chongzi hurriedly said: "Brother Feng, you don't know something. The reason why I asked Lao Mian to help is because he has done a lot of this kind of work before and has a lot of experience. He and you are peers. Sister also took this into consideration before letting him join us."
I was surprised: "Oh? Really, so you are still an old-timer?"
The old man hurriedly bent over and clasped his fists, and said with a sincere face: "The Yangtze River has pushed forward, and I don't dare to take the word "senior" seriously. Master, old man, I have quit the tomb robbing business for nearly 30 years. I re-entered the industry this time because of the pressure of life. My wife's cancer treatment requires a lot of money. Please don't blame the old man for his old age and frailty. We hope that he can enjoy the food."
On the surface I was indifferent, but actually I had an idea in my mind.
This is the way people in the industry talked in the early years. It can't be escaped. No wonder I can't smell a trace of earthiness on him. It turns out that he has been washing his hands in a golden basin for more than 30 years. This person is from the same generation as the leader. I am A junior in the true sense of the word.
"Chong Zong, you go out first and close the door. This old man and I will have a few words alone."
After the bug left, I invited the old man to take a seat. He was very polite and hugged me first before sitting down.
Pouring me a cup of tea, I took a sip and asked politely: "Old man, you went down to the lake to dig up ancient buildings to find copper roads, rummaged through warehouses and robbed shady houses, filtered pits to eat stinky tickets, and opened windows to catch the moon. You used to What kind of work do you do?”
The old man's wrinkled face lit up.
He cupped his fists and said: "I can't do code matching. I occasionally sweep warehouses. I'm not good at going to the lake to eat stinky things. I spend more time digging for ancient treasures to catch the moon."
I nodded, knowing his details.
He is from Anyang, Henan Province. In his later years, he and his wife settled in Handan, Hebei Province. The team he used to work with was Yeluzi, a small folk group with little reputation. His specialty was positioning and drilling holes.
Both of my questions and answers were full of slang, and non-experts would definitely not understand. There are many ways to explain it, so I’ll give you a rough outline.
"Xiahu Guide" refers to tomb robbers, "Chasing the Moon" refers to unscrupulous people who are not well-known in the wild, "Dui Ma" means those in charge of selling stolen and unearthed cultural relics, and "Remover" refers to tomb robbers in Beijing. , refers to the tomb robbers in the Hebei area. Digu means digging for antiquities. They are also called ancient diggers. They are the tomb robbers in the Anyang area of Henan.
One thing you need to know is that the word "cultural relics" was only coined after 1953. Before 1953, it was called "antiquities". Moreover, there was no cultural relics management law at that time, only the antiquities management law. Understand? Therefore, if there is an old man in the community around you who often says: "This antique is great, I went for a walk after shopping for groceries today and went to the flea market to buy an antique," then this old man may be an insider in the early years.
I raised my teacup and stood up, and Lao Mian also hurriedly raised my teacup and stood up.
