The tour guide Xiao Jia enthusiastically told the tourists on the bus the touching legends about elder brother loving younger sister and younger sister looking forward to elder brother. But in Song Jiang's view, behind these legends were all bloody and cruel truths. He couldn't muster the slightest interest to listen carefully...
Meng Zhe listened with great interest and seemed to be completely immersed in the story. He listened to the tour guide all the way, while Song Jiang looked out the window the whole time, replaying the mute ghost's life scene by scene in his mind. .
Because his background is too low, his parents have instilled in him the idea that he should act cautiously and avoid making any mistakes. If he makes any inevitable mistakes, he must kneel on the ground as soon as possible. Admit your mistake.
This kind of life experience has never been experienced by Song Jiang, a young man living in modern times. He has never even thought that people can live such a humble life, not even as good as his own cattle and sheep...
Maybe this is why Song Jiang insisted on helping the mute ghost? Song Jiang didn't pity him, but felt that someone should treat him and his sister as adults and fulfill their wishes so that they could get the respect they were born with.
One of the attractions on this group tour is the cultural center in the county near Cangduo Mountain. There are some historical records about the disappeared civilization of Cangduo Mountain that have been exhibited for many years... Of course, there are generally not a few that can be exhibited in the county cultural center. The shocking national treasure was actually the daily utensils of some indigenous tribes, such as earthen pots and stone pots, which made Meng Zhe gasp in anger.
Song Jiang also knew that it was impossible for a cultural center of this level to exhibit something like Ah Jie's drum, so he tentatively asked the tour guide Xiao Jia, "Do we have any particularly well-known personal collectors here?"
Xiao Jia was stunned for a moment, then smiled knowingly, "Does Mr. Song want to collect some collection?"
As soon as Song Jiang saw the opportunity, he nodded quickly and said, "Well... I heard from my friends that a very special tambourine once appeared in the Cangduo Mountain area."
Xiao Jia obviously didn't expect that Song Jiang wanted to buy a drum. He asked in surprise, "Tambora? What kind of tambourine?"
Song Jiang thought for a long time and didn't know how to describe it to Xiao Jia. He couldn't tell him directly that what he was looking for was a human skin drum, right? In the end, he had to say that what he was looking for was a magic weapon that could channel spirits. A friend asked him to find it. If the thing was right, he could buy it at a high price... The reason why Song Jiang said this was because he believed in the reward. There must be a brave man, maybe we can really let them find the sister drum?
Xiao Jia was really interested after hearing this, so he immediately took out his mobile phone and made a few calls, and then happily said to Song Jiang, "I just contacted a few friends who are collectors, and they all have many collections. …After I return to the hotel tonight, I can take you two to meet with them first.”
As soon as Song Jiang heard this, he immediately took out a few pieces of cash and stuffed it into the other party's hand and said, "Then it's all your fault. No matter whether we find what we want in the end or not, we won't treat you badly."
Afterwards, they went with the group to visit several regular scenic spots, either to see mountains, rivers and rocks, or to introduce some local folk customs. After Song Jiang took a few fake photos, he no longer had the slightest interest.
After returning to the hotel in the evening, the tour guide Xiao Jia took Song Jiang and the two to a nearby coffee shop. They met several different groups of people. The things in the hands of the first few guys were bottles and cans of little value. They mistook Song Jiang and the others for being ignorant fools.
Of course, Song Jiang does not know much about goods, but Meng Zhe is different. His eyes are like carbon 14. He can tell the age of something at a glance, so it is absolutely impossible to use fakes under his nose. .
So the first few guys didn't chat with them for a while before they were slapped in the face by Meng Zhe, so they all left angrily. It wasn't until the last middle-aged uncle walked in with a briefcase that Song Jiang felt the other person's aura. A little different...
Upon seeing this, Xiao Jia quickly introduced him and said, "This Mr. Deng is a very well-known collector in our local area. The collection in his home can be said to be all kinds of strange things. Only you can't think of it. There is nothing he can't collect."
Uncle Deng seemed a little embarrassed after hearing this. He quickly took out a thick photo album from his bag and put it on the table and said, "I have been crazy about collecting old objects since I was a teenager... As Xiao Jia said As I said, my collection is very unique, you two can take a look first."
Song Jiang took the photo album and opened it, and found that this old man was indeed an outlier in the world of collecting. Others had porcelain, calligraphy and paintings, or even lacquerware and woodware, but he had all weird things... …
Oil lamps, eyeglass frames, little books, old photos, rouge boxes, snuff bottles, fire seals... He even has a large number of bone tools, including bone knives, bone needles, bone combs, bone beads, in short, there are many varieties. Song Jiang was dazzled by the sight.
At this time, one of the photos caught Song Jiang's attention. The photo was a group photo of several bone vessels. Song Jiang didn't know what the other items were, but he saw the familiar Sister Gu in it at a glance...
Seeing Song Jiang staring at this group photo for a long time, Uncle Deng quickly introduced it to him and said, "The reason why this group is put together is because they are all human bone artifacts."
"Really... human bones!?" Song Jiang asked tentatively.
After hearing this, the other party said with some pride, "They are all genuine human bones... The one on the left is a kabala bowl made from the skull of a tantric master after his death; the one on the right is a bone flute made of human leg bones; the one in the middle is a The beads are also made of human skulls and are said to be able to subdue evil spirits; of course, the most special thing is the drum on top of the beads."
Although Xiao Jia on the side was not interested in these things, when he heard Uncle Deng mention the drum, he quickly said, "Yes, yes, you should introduce this drum to the two bosses. They specialize in collecting various drums." …”
After hearing this, Song Jiang thought to himself that this little Jia was also a guy who talked a lot about things. When did he and Meng Zhe say that they specialized in playing drums? ! But since the other party has already said this, Song Jiang naturally can't say anything else.
Upon hearing this, Uncle Deng immediately said with bright eyes, "Then I have to tell you two about this tambourine! I took this thing back from a hunter in the mountains. According to him, it belongs to them." It’s a family heirloom. If he hadn’t been in urgent need of money, he really wouldn’t have done it easily..."
Today's update... The antigen has finally turned negative, but I am still very weak all over. I sweat when I move, my throat is hoarse, and I still cough.
