Lao Ji is over forty and has yet to marry and have children. He has a bohemian personality and has always complained about my father's behavior. Now that he sees me like this, he just shakes his head and says, "Li Rui, why do you think you are so good at this?" Well, your father doesn’t allow you to go, so you really don’t dare to go down. What are you afraid of when you are already in your twenties? When I was your age, I went wherever I wanted to go and did whatever I wanted to do. If you don’t believe me, ask me. Your grandpa."
"Go away, ask my grandpa, if you have the ability, go and ask." I raised my leg and kicked it, "Just in time, my grandpa gave me a dream a few days ago, saying that he was lonely there and needed someone to talk to. .”
Lao Ji rolled his eyes at me and didn't dare to put on a show for me anymore. He lit up a cigarette and said he would take me to see him if he had a chance. He would go there secretly so that my father wouldn't know that the Li family's dragon-hunting Taibao had been underground for thousands of years. People who are looking for a living, this kind of complex, can be cut off at any time.
I didn’t know if he was serious or not, and I didn’t take it seriously. The two of them chatted for half a night. Unknowingly, I drank half a kilogram of Tongshan and burned it down. When I saw that I couldn’t go back if I drank more, I got up and left. I didn’t even ride the 28-meter bar anymore and just ordered a Didi to go home.
When I got home, the sky was already white, so I lay down on the bed and fell asleep instantly. The power of Tongshan fever should not be underestimated. I slept until the afternoon and had a nightmare. When I woke up, the sheets were soaked.
Strangely enough, even though I knew clearly that what I was having was a nightmare, I couldn't recall the scene in the dream. After a while, my stomach growled with hunger, so I had to go to the kitchen to find food. But after eating, I still felt empty, so I ran to the balcony and lit a cigarette. I watched the sexy Widow Chen next door washing sheets in the courtyard, and smiled for a long time.
Whenever I was worried, I would go to the balcony to smoke and enjoy the spring scenery in the yard next door, and my worries would disappear. But this trick didn't work today. After thinking about it for a long time, I realized that I was stuck in the right and wrong and couldn't get out.
"Dang Duan keeps getting messed up!" I was determined to get to the bottom of the matter, so I called Lao Ji and asked him if he was willing to join the gang. Lao Ji said that he would wait until he had thought about it and asked me to do it. I asked Yan Yunshu for her opinion and hung up the phone.
Yan Yunshu didn't have to worry. Every "pot" had hands, eyes and legs. With an expert like him, he could get twice the result with half the effort. She would definitely not refuse. I'm worried that this guy has a thief's heart or courage, so that he won't ruin my plan when the time comes.
In the next few days, I didn’t know why, but I was distracted and felt uncomfortable. I called Lao Ji every half day. Lao Ji heard some clues on the other end of the phone and laughed: "I know what you are thinking, aren't you just worried that you are not good at it, so you want to recruit me to embolden you. There is nothing to be embarrassed about. I'm looking for you four times." It’s not shameful for me to help.”
When I heard it, it seemed that this was what I originally meant and I didn't realize it, which made me a little embarrassed. Lao Ji laughed on the phone for a long time and said that if Yan Yunshu had no objections, he would have no problem, but if he wanted me to come over right away, he still had a lot to prepare. I immediately agreed, called a taxi and hurried over.
I rushed to Lao Ji's side, and he was on the phone, saying that he wanted to call in some experienced guys. As he talked, he wrote a list to me and asked me to help him buy some things. When I looked at the list, it contained nothing more than a split waterproof miner's lamp, a threaded steel pipe, a folding shovel, a short-handled hammer and other tools. They were all for dinner, so I nodded in agreement and we all went our separate ways.
Three days later, Lao Ji and I went to Hangzhou separately. Lao Ji's two guys set off from different cities to Shaoxing. The four of us met at the foot of Yinshan Mountain. The reason for going to such great lengths is to confuse people's attention so that they won't be caught after the incident.
This time, the two guys brought by Lao Ji have been with him for many years. I have met them before. They are both honest people and they have a lot of fun talking. In order to avoid being seen by the local people as tomb robbers, we simply found a farmhouse to stay. In the evening, Yan Yunshu and Mu Yunhe came with Lin Xiaoyu. Our "pot" for this operation was successfully established.
Because I had already introduced Lao Ji's situation to Yan Yunshu on the phone before, I omitted the pleasantries. After we had had a good meal and wine, everyone got straight to the point and discussed the next plan of action in the room. Lao Ji and I are familiar with this area. There are several villages at the foot of Yinshan Mountain. The provincial road is not far from the village, and there is an antique market next to the provincial road. Imagine there is an antique market in a remote mountain village. Naturally, this market will not be built by the local government, but formed spontaneously by the people.
Yinshan is where the royal tombs of the Yue Kingdom were located in ancient times. According to legend, it is the cemetery of Yunchang, the father of King Goujian of Yue. However, there are more than one tombs on Yinshan Mountain, which also reflects from the side that this place is indeed a rare geomantic treasure.
The chicken comes first, and then the egg. The mountain people here probably live off the mountain for more than a day or two. So, we decided to go for a walk in the antique market before the fight, trying to find some useful clues.
Early the next morning, the operation officially began.
There is a beautiful silhouette in the morning wind, leaving a touching moment on the stream in front of the door. When the morning light penetrated the gaps in the clouds, I seemed to feel a unique kind of excitement, as if I saw the wisps of light penetrating my body and mind.
Before we all arrived, Lin Xiaoyu was already waiting at the door of the appointed antique market. Wearing a grass green windbreaker, a pure white shirt underneath, and a pair of light blue jeans underneath, clean and neat, paired with a pair of brown sunglasses, everyone who walked by couldn't help but take a second look.
"Ms. Lin, why did you arrive so early?"
"I woke up early because I couldn't sleep." Lin Xiaoyu handed over the breakfast that had been prepared, "Here, I bought breakfast specially for you."
I was worried that my stomach was growling with hunger. When I heard that there was breakfast, I immediately became excited and said, "How wonderful this is!" So I eagerly took the breakfast, opened it up and ate it, " Let me see what’s available.”
"Xiao Long Bao, how do you know I like to eat Xiao Long Bao?" I buried myself in eating.
"I made a guess and didn't know your taste, so I bought it for you based on my own preferences." Lin Xiaoyu smiled shyly and handed over a tissue, "Eat slowly!"
"Well, you also like to eat Xiao Long Bao, so we are really destined to be together. I have been eating these Xiao Long Bao since I was a kid, and I never get tired of eating them."
Lin Xiaoyu also said with great interest, "Me too. When I was a child, my grandfather often took me to eat Xiao Long Bao. When I got to the stall, he would order three fried dough sticks and a bowl of soy milk. Then the boss would run over and ask me with a smile. Say, little girl, what are you eating? I’ll follow my grandfather’s example and yell for a drawer of xiaolongbao!”
"Hahaha, it's fate!"
I'm not a good foodie. No matter what I eat, I devour it greedily. By the time I finish eating, my mouth will be full of oil. At this time, Lin Xiaoyu very carefully took out a tissue, stretched out her hand and wiped the corner of my mouth, "Don't move, look at your eating posture, it looks like I am trying to rob you, don't worry I have already eaten." "
For a moment, I felt like an electric current was flowing through my body, and there was a numbing sensation on my scalp. It was strange and I liked it very much.
I just looked into her eyes quietly. Her eyes were as bright and clear as crystal, and the smile on her face at this moment was so heart-warming.
"Okay, are you full?"
"full!"
"Let's go in."
When we made the plan yesterday, we agreed that everyone would come together, but considering that the large number of people would easily attract attention, we temporarily changed to separate operations. I took Lin Xiaoyu with me, pretending to be a traveling couple, and was responsible for looking for clues in the antique city. Lao Ji took the remaining people to explore the way first.
This antique market is a bit remote, but the business is booming. Collectors from both inside and outside the city know this place and know that there are treasures here, so there is usually an endless stream of people here.
The people who come here are even more mixed. Because this place is remote, tomb robbers often come here to sell goods. In order to pursue corns and yellow sand, cultural relic dealers often travel thousands of miles to trade here, and some simply buy one here. The shop does business on the surface, but also sells cultural relics behind the scenes. Whether you are a person who doesn’t understand the market or a seasoned collector, you all come here based on the smell. Anyway, as long as you enter this door, whether you make money or lose money, you are basically opening your eyes and gaining knowledge. .
"Li Rui, do you come here often?" Lin Xiaoyu looked around curiously and pestered me with questions.
"That's not true. However, I heard my friend say that this place is a treasure trove of art. If you are looking for something, if you can't find it here, then there is no place to look for it in the southeastern provinces. Got!"
"Is he so awesome?"
"Although this place is remote and inconspicuous, it just shows that it is extraordinary. Otherwise, it would be difficult to operate, wouldn't it?"
"It makes sense, then you should be able to get a lot of ghost stuff here, right?"
The so-called ghost goods specifically refer to the cultural relics obtained by tomb robbers from digging up and stealing ancient tombs. Because tomb robbing is illegal, this kind of goods generally does not enter the market, and most of them are bought and sold through middlemen.
"You are really knowledgeable. I can't tell that you are a knowledgeable person." I looked at her in surprise and said with a smile: "Don't say it's a ghost product, it's a wild product, a thieves product, or a new product. We have everything here."
"How do I understand this? I just made up the class recently. I can't compare with you. I'm making a fool of myself in class!"
The so-called "thief goods" and "new goods" are actually stolen antiques and fake antiques. As for "rare goods", that is an old lingo in the antique shop, which refers to antiques that are specially bought from the streets. Ruined goods are the mainstream of the antique market, but they are mixed with fake goods.
