The next day was the same time and place where I last met my third uncle.
Everyone was on time. This time they chose an Eight Immortals table. Huan Xin sat on the east side this time, with Uncle San and Brother Bao sitting on both sides.
As for Wang Liang and Tian Dou, they sat at a table not far from them. Also sitting with them was Boss Xu, who looked calm and relaxed.
Huan Xin took out the brocade box and spoke first: "Here is the jade. I also brought 20,000 yuan. Since Su Changhai sold this piece of jade to your third uncle, does this matter have anything to do with it?" Doesn’t it matter to Su Changhai anymore?”
After Huan Xin finished speaking, he looked directly at Brother Bao. Brother Bao frowned. At this time, he was only concerned about this piece of jade. The rest didn't matter, so he nodded.
Seeing that everyone agreed that this matter had nothing to do with Su Changhai, Huan Xin continued: "With my current skill, I can't remove the evil spirit from this jade. It seems that this jade has been cursed by someone." Normally, there is a magic circle inside, which seals an unknown soul of the dead. This is the situation. Since I borrowed this jade from Third Uncle, I must return it to Third Uncle."
The third uncle laughed with a sly look on his face and said angrily to Huan Xin: "Boy, it's not too particular to do things like this. I'll lend you the jade. Your problem will be solved, but you agreed." Not only did the jade not be processed quickly, but a few diggers were brought over, and the blame was passed directly to me. Is this how your elders taught you to gain fame?"
Huan Xin also thought it was a gift, so she clasped her fists a little unreasonably and said: "I owe you this matter, but don't worry, this jade is still in my hand. Since I am in charge, I will give you an explanation. "
Brother Bao put his hands on his chest at this time, with a gloomy look on his face. He looked at his third uncle and said, "You must have understood what is going on here. Since there is something wrong with this jade, I advise you to let it go. In the worst case, you can open it." Price, we will buy it back from you."
Brother Bao is already quite polite, and he would have started doing it a long time ago. For someone like him who only seeks talent, the morality of the world is only useful to those who are stronger than himself.
The third uncle took a sip of tea and said calmly: "Third uncle, I have been in the antique business all my life. Am I a man who is short of money? The rule of your business should be that once you sell it, you never look back. Why are you so young now? Are people so careless anymore?"
This sentence is meant for Brother Bao. Brother Bao has a certain status in this industry. It would really not sound good if it spread out. However, Brother Bao spent a year to get this tomb. , but in the end he failed to draw water from the bamboo basket, and he relied on this piece of jade to turn over. Naturally, he would not give up.
Brother Bao's expression changed and he said, "Old man, have I given you any shame? Do you think people like us, who have our heads hanging on our belts, will be afraid of you?"
The third uncle glanced at Brother Bao, then smiled and said, "Okay, we just talked for a few words, and then he started threatening my old man. I was Bai Longfeng back then, and I'm afraid he wasn't as majestic as you are now!"
After the third uncle finished speaking, he looked at Huan Xin and said, "What did you say? Now this digger is threatening me!"
Huan Xin glanced at Brother Bao seriously. Brother Bao calmed down a little, picked up the cup and drank the tea in one gulp. Huan Xin thought for a moment and then asked: "Third Uncle, you definitely don't want this jade for sale, does it mean it is useful?"
The third uncle's face changed and he replied: "Yes, I have been looking for this piece of jade for many years. I didn't expect that I would find it in Su Changhai's hands. I'm really confused. Now everyone is fighting against it. At what level do you still want such a good thing?"
"You... stop pushing yourself too far!" Brother Bao gritted his teeth and said harshly.
The third uncle glanced at Brother Bao, who had a murderous look on his face, and turned his head to look at Huan Xin with a "hum".
Huan Xin then asked: "Then if you always need this piece of jade, you should give it to the dead. After all, living people can't touch this thing, right?"
The third uncle nodded and said, "Yes, what do you want to say?"
Huanxin smiled and said: "This piece of jade has only one function now, which is to eliminate the evil spirit of the deceased so as not to affect future generations. In this case, I may be able to do this. And this You don’t know something about Katama, but there is indeed something evil inside. Even if you put it in the tomb, it may not have any effect. On the contrary, unexpected things may happen."
The third uncle was silent. He was thinking about Huxin's words and whether this boy was deceiving him. But it was obvious that Huan Xin had already stated his purpose for wanting this piece of jade, and the third uncle thought that since he had said so, he must have some means.
When Huan Xin saw that his third uncle had a relieved expression, he continued: "If you don't believe it, you can find someone knowledgeable, such as a senior monk from Jing'an Temple, or go directly to Putuo Mountain!"
The third uncle thought for a while, looked at Huan Xin again with some uncertainty, and said: "Then I will trust you again, kid. If you can solve my problem, I will forget about it, otherwise I will Xu is not easy to fool."
After saying that, the third uncle looked at the brocade box on the table and said to Brother Bao: "Jade, I can give it to you, but you have no rules at all. I originally wanted to take it without taking any money, but now since you I said I want to buy it back, and I'm not afraid of offending a digger like you. In the worst case, you can just dig my ancestral graves."
Brother Bao looked at Third Uncle with an expression that said he would not accept it, but he knew that this piece of jade would be easy to deal with now, just wait for him to set the price.
"Go ahead and make a price!" Brother Bao said impatiently.
"I won't bully you, old man. This piece of jade is just about its quality, age, and exquisite carving. I don't think I want you to pay more than 100,000!"
Brother Bao gritted his teeth at this time. One hundred thousand is really not enough, but Brother Bao only thinks that what he did is really useless, but now that the situation is like this, they still have to keep a low profile in this industry, and Brother Bao also knows The two people in front of them were not those who couldn't afford to offend, but they were the kind who would be in trouble if offended. So they gritted their teeth and said, "Okay, let's pay with one hand and deliver the goods with the other."
Just after Brother Bao and Uncle San came to an agreement, Huan Xin took Brother Bao's hand and said earnestly: "No matter who you sell this jade to, I have already mentioned the problem, but you must Explain clearly and don’t get yourself into trouble!”
After Huan Xin finished speaking, Brother Bao nodded perfunctorily. He had so much control at this time, and what Huan Xin said was too unreal. After all, ordinary people couldn't see the problem with this piece of jade. In the eyes of ordinary people, this It’s just a fine piece of jade, what could be wrong?
After a while, Tiandou put a package of newspapers on the table, then reached out and took the brocade box, pointed at the package and said to his third uncle, "Do you want to count them?"
The third uncle just glanced at it lightly, and then waved to Boss Xu. Boss Xu immediately understood, ran over, and put the package into a leather bag.
Brother Bao saw that he had got the thing. Although he paid a price of one hundred thousand yuan, he had no choice but to admit it. He couldn't kill them all. He was just a person who made money from dead people, not a murderer. So he gave Tian Dou and Wang Liang a look, stood up and left.
Before leaving, Qing Xin repeatedly told him not to forget what he had told him. Brother Bao was impatient and just wanted to leave as soon as possible. This young man, Brother Bao, was not afraid of him, but none of them in this line of work wanted to provoke a person who understood Brother Bao, who is a person with yin and yang in Feng Shui, so he didn't talk in a speculative way, cupped his hands towards Huan Xin and said, "The green mountains will not change, but the green water will flow forever. Let's see you in the world in the future!"
After that, he left in a hurry. Huan Xin looked at the backs of Brother Bao and his group and sighed helplessly.
