Everyone in the room, including Du Jun, was startled, and the Liu family and his son were all stunned.
Liu Han looked at the silver statue on the table and the diary in my hand, and said dryly: "Doctor Zhou, do you really want to pay so much for it?"
"Yes, that's right." I nodded.
Liu Han hesitated.
"We are all family members. I don't regret it if I tell you more! I know these two things are good things, but I don't know what is so good about them?
"Can you talk to your uncle so that we can learn more about it?"
Liu Han also understood that the reason why I offered such a high price was definitely not purely out of emotion. There must be a way to do these two things.
Liu Qingshan originally wanted to stop me, but when his father said this, he looked over expectantly.
"Uncle Liu, Qingshan, let me tell you this! I mainly want to buy this silver statue of the big bird."
I pointed to the strange bird-shaped sterling silver product on the table.
"Don't you think this thing looks weird? In fact, it is made according to the appearance of the Western Firebird, but no one knows it. The craftsmanship of this Firebird is very superb, and it is made of sterling silver."
I touched the firebird's head.
"Also, you may think that these eyes are made of stone, but they are actually a rare gemstone with a layer of paint on the outside.
"In terms of craftsmanship and material, it can be worth seven to eight hundred yuan."
"What about this book?"
I raised the diary in my hand.
"It's also a certain age, and it contains some short stories about people who went into the mountains to collect herbs in the past. I really like it."
I said to Liu Han with a smile.
In fact, what I said is true. Apart from the silver statue, this book is worthless to outsiders, but it has a special effect on me. What I pay attention to is some of the information in it.
Liu Qingshan breathed a sigh of relief. Since this thing was indeed valuable, he would no longer stop it.
To be honest, he also had a headache for his father. He had these two things and hid them at home like treasures for more than two years.
I looked for many sellers along the way, but no one liked it. I finally met someone who knew the product well, and it was a good sale.
Liu Han was so happy that he couldn't find any answers. He was afraid that I would regret it. What's worth seven or eight hundred yuan? Then just sell it!
Liu Han wrapped the things and forced them into my hands.
"My eldest nephew, you take it first. You can give the money to your uncle anytime."
Then he didn't let us go without saying anything. We happened to have brought some wine ourselves, so he took out the dried game at home and cooked several dishes. At noon, he took the three juniors and started drinking.
This time we have seen the majesty of the God of Dionysus. After the quite normal old man drank some wine, his true colors were revealed.
In the morning, the red mouth and white teeth had obviously told us: The Kingdom of Heaven thing is a legend, and now it must be said that his great-grandfather and grandfather have both gone back and seen the original site of that place with their own eyes.
Now it is a big deep pit, in which you can see the golden tree, the top is covered with gems, and there are many gold and silver jewelry scattered on the ground.
Unfortunately, I didn’t bring the rope with me and I couldn’t go down. When I came back to get the rope, I got lost...
Liu Qingshan was so ashamed that his great-grandfather had passed away when his grandfather was young. And his grandfather is an honest man. Although he has martial arts skills, he likes farming and has never been to the mountains. Where can he go back to his hometown?
Du Jun was also completely disappointed. It seems that the so-called tribes of the Oroqen Kingdom are not the same thing as the Qing Dynasty treasures in our hands.
But we unexpectedly got another piece of information from the wine table. We asked about the origin of the silver statue and this ancient book in Liu Han's hand.
Two years ago, Murakami Yan Fugui's only son held an engagement party. Liu Han went there relatively late, drank a few more drinks there, and stayed at Yan's house that night.
The next day he felt embarrassed, so he invited Yan Fugui and his wife to go hunting in the mountains. He thought of getting the prey and left it directly with them.
It happened that Ma Shenpo was also there. She and Yan Fugui were somewhat close, so they went together when they were bored.
While wandering around the mountains, four people discovered a wooden box half-buried in the mud near a small river. It had been soaked in water for a long time. Although the outside was painted with moisture-proof paint, it had begun to rot.
Dajin Village has always been flooded. In previous years, things washed over from the mountains, sometimes rags, rusty shotguns, machetes...
Occasionally, bones and even some oceans, ingots and the like would come rushing towards me.
Everyone in the mountains knows that most of them go into the mountains to collect herbs or hunt... After those people had accidents, their belongings were washed away by flash floods.
Of course, it is not ruled out that there are ancient tombs in the mountains.
Liu Han was so courageous that he fished out the wooden box and opened it in front of the three people. Inside was a layer of oilcloth wrapped with several things.
A small pile of oceans, three silver ingots, a jade finger, two broken books and a strange bird made of silver.
These were all things that had no owner, and a few people divided them up at that time.
Lao Yan's family was richer than the other two, so they didn't particularly care about these things. They saw that the thumb ring was quite unique, so they just kept it.
Most of the ingots and oceans were given to Ma Shenpo.
Liu Han felt that the silver bird was quite heavy, almost less than the silver ingots put together, so he took the strange bird away.
Of the remaining two books, one was rotten and was thrown away at that time. The other one is made of genuine leather and is waterproof, and no one else wants it.
Only Liu Han had an extra thought. What if it was something useful?
He brought the book back and went back to the village to look for a learned old man to read it. He found out that it was just a made-up ghost story.
At this point, Liu Han was still unbalanced: "Oh, I made a mistake at the beginning. I gave the woman surnamed Mana an extra piece of ocean for this crappy book.
"Damn, it's just a bunch of random stories. If you want to make up this thing, I can make it up for three days and three nights.
"Hey, by the way, I'll tell you more."
Liu Han stared with red eyes and hugged Liu Qingshan next to him. When he realized something was wrong, he hurriedly let go and strangled Du Jun's neck on the left.
"Du High School! I'm going to tell you something. Don't be afraid. I haven't told anyone else."
"Didn't our tribe collapse? Oh, there were so many ghosts around, and this place turned into a ghost town..."
Liu Qingshan couldn't help it anymore: "Dad, my dear father, can you stop talking nonsense? Let me have a good meal, okay?"
"You've already told the story about the ghost town to eight hundred people! What else are you going to tell?"
Du Jun rolled his eyes at Liu Hanle.
"Hey, Uncle Liu? It has nothing to do with us whether he is a ghost or not! He hangs out wherever he likes.
"I'm not asking. There's nothing special in that box. Didn't you go up the stream and look for it again?
"Why didn't you find it?"
Liu Han drank another glass of wine and said blatantly.
"Both Lao Yantou and Ma Shenpo didn't go. I ran up there for a long time and didn't do any shit... There's nothing else in the box except these!"
"Well, Ma Shenpo? By the way, there is a piece of torn leather inside, with several strange-looking people painted on it, in this posture."
Liu Han stood up unsteadily and gestured twice.
"Then there were some ghost talismans written around them, which I didn't understand. Anyway, Ma Shenpo wanted it, so I gave it to her.
"Uncle Liu, does the ghost-drawing talisman on it look a bit like this one?" I moved a dish on the table to the side, dipped it in wine and drew a talisman on the wooden table.
