Many people who have been exposed to antiques all year round have heard of this term, but very few have seen it with their own eyes.
How many of these things are there? Compare it with the familiar Ru Kiln porcelain. The revised statistics at that time showed that there were a total of 63 and a half pieces in the Ru Kiln of Qingliang Temple in the Northern Song Dynasty.
As for the Ashoka Tower, a total of 27 pieces have been discovered and known, some of which have been damaged and repaired. This thing was a treasure in ancient times.
Although the figure in the mummy's belly is relatively small, it is a real thing. According to Bangtou, if you have this thing, you don't need anything else, and you can live a good year in peace and contentment.
Apart from this tower, there is nothing of value here. We dug a hole and buried the bones, and by the way, we buried the mummy as well.
The reason why Baotou has been able to stay safe and sound for so many years in the industry, apart from his networking skills, is also the most important thing, that is, Baotou knows how to advance and retreat.
For example, if he is optimistic about a big pit, he will set a time for himself based on the surrounding environment. He says three days. If the pit is not completed within three days, then the work will be called off and will not be spent aimlessly. Every extra day a person spends increases the risk.
It is like a mole, hiding in a tree hole during the day and not caring about anything, and only coming out to look for food at night.
At that time, Baotou had set a time limit of seven days in the Hute tribe, and the water and food he brought were basically enough for the round trip. Now that the time has come, and we have gained a lot, Baotou decided to leave here early tomorrow morning. After these things are sold, if you still want to come to Blackwater City, we will set a time and date.
This harvest includes river mill jade bears, Buddha statues, tortoiseshell belt plates, Xixia copper seals, Ashoka Pagodas, and a bunch of miscellaneous copper hats, crowns, and coat buttons. Pack these things and tie them to the camel. After a night's rest, We embarked on the return journey.
The return trip went fairly smoothly, and we returned to the Hute Department about three days later.
Although we have not found Blackwater City for the time being, we have gained a lot this time. This is all thanks to the help of Aji and Uncle Hulu. In order to express our gratitude, I asked Aji and Uncle Hulu if they have any requirements. If they can be met, we will try our best to satisfy them. .
Aji thought for a while and said he wanted a new generator.
He turned his head to look at Uncle Hulu again.
Uncle Hulu said something, and Aji helped translate: "Uncle said he wanted a doll."
Dou Sprout was drinking water from a bowl when he heard the words and spat it out, "What the hell? Baby? Uncle Hulu, you're not married yet?"
"What?" Aji said, "How come I'm not married when I have three children? What do you mean by that?"
Douyazai said vaguely: "You still need that thing after you get married. It's just your thick arms. Don't blow yourself up."
I said Yazai, what are you talking about?
Dou Sprout shook his head and said, "Forget it, forget it if you don't understand. Just pretend I didn't say anything."
It turned out that Uncle Hulu said he wanted a doll for his little daughter. His little daughter was only six and a half years old and had always wanted a doll with movable arms and legs. Uncle Hulu had never left the tribe in his life. He usually He had no money and no money at home, and he didn't know where to buy the doll that his little daughter wanted. When he saw the stone carving board that time, he thought it was a good thing and brought it back.
Aji had to go to the city to buy salt every three months, so Uncle Hulu asked Aji to bring the stone carving board there to see if he could sell it and get enough money to buy a doll for his little daughter.
As a result, Aji couldn't hold back and exchanged Qin Xingping's mobile phone with a stone carving board on the spot. For this reason, Aji had Uncle Hulu beat him up after he came back.
Sometimes people think about it, maybe there is such a thing as fate, it goes around and around in a big circle, and finally returns to the starting point.
Of course we agreed to this small request and told the boss that after buying the things, we would deliver them to them in person. We had already memorized the way there and would be back in about ten and a half days.
On the way back to Yinchuan, Qin Xingping couldn't wait to take out his mobile phone and make a call as soon as he got out of the desert area and made a call. Listening to what he said, it seemed like he was contacting the buyer. I say like because of the dirty talk he said.
He said on the phone: "Hey, are you Mr. Zhang from the veterinary station? Can you come and see if my cow is sick? The specific symptom is that it doesn't eat or drink and has indigestion. Maybe there is a cow baby in its belly."
"Okay, then I'll take the cow to the veterinary station to find you. The scalpel should be sharp. I'm afraid it will be blunt and delay things."
What he probably meant by making this call was, "I have shipped the goods here, Niu Bao (the top quality goods). I took the cows to the veterinary station to find you (I took the goods to your place to trade), but the knife is not sharp enough ( Bring more money, don’t show anything if you don’t have enough.)”
Qin Xingping didn't make this call to guard against us. We all know what he meant. He was guarding the other party. He was afraid that someone next to the person who answered the phone would hear something he shouldn't.
Veterans work like this, sailing with caution, and Qin Xingping is also an experienced veteran.
However, he didn’t know about the Alxa blood agate. The only people who knew that the blood agate was in my bag were members of our gang. I discussed this with my boss on the road, but we still didn't dare to take action in Yinchuan.
Ultimately, it was because this thing was too conspicuous. After Aza got the blood agate, he was forced to hide in an abandoned mine pit in the desert for half a year. We didn’t want to live like that. We made a final calculation and said, "Hide this thing first, wait." I'm talking about it after we leave Yinchuan."
Qin Xingping contacted people, and naturally he also contacted people. The smugglers did not pay attention to first-come, first-served. They all got it based on who paid the highest price. The buyers were not locals in Yinchuan, so it would naturally take some time to come from other places.
We were not idle for a few days while waiting for the buyer. I, Xiaoxuan, and Douyazai, the three of us went shopping together.
Aji's old generator kept stalling, and he wanted a new one to charge his mobile phone. The conditions in the Kut Special Branch were poor, so I thought about buying him a good one, a brand-name one. After much selection, I finally spent more than 3,000 on an imported Daewoo diesel generator.
There is also the doll that Uncle Hu Lu asked for for his daughter. I have no idea how to judge whether this kind of thing is good or bad, but Xiaoxuan understands. She used to like to collect such things, so I just let her choose. I don’t care which one she chooses. Just pay.
At that time, there was only one high-end toy store in Yinchuan. That toy store was located behind Lanshan Theater and next to Shenyang East Road. Xiaoxuan chose two Barbie dolls and two princess dolls in the store, with movable legs and feet, and two sets of clothes and a wig. When the boss saw that we bought so many, he gave us a bunch of combs and small clothes to comb the Barbie dolls' hair. The comb can be as big as half a finger.
When I paid, I was shocked. Why was it so expensive? Four toys cost more than 2,000 yuan, and one set together cost more than 500 yuan. I thought that spending 50 yuan for four toys was a lot.
Dou Sprout said with a distressed look on his face, "This is too expensive. You can buy it at the canteen for three yuan each. I think it's about the same as this."
Xiaoxuan scolded us and said, "What do you two know? How can you compare with these for three yuan? Not to mention the smell of plastic, it will break after a few days of playing with it. The ones I buy are all famous brands, all from Barbie." Imported original goods.”
Dou Yazai said unconvinced: "What a famous brand, I think it's just a money scam, designed to deceive people like you."
"Okay, stop arguing. Uncle Hulu has helped us so much, so giving this thing is nothing."
After paying the bill and leaving the toy store, the three of us took a taxi back to the hotel.
"Why do you keep looking at the rearview mirror?" Xiaoxuan asked me after the car had been driving for a while.
"It's okay, I was dazzled just now, and I've become suspicious recently."
After saying that, I took another look in the rearview mirror.
After getting on the bus from the toy store, I noticed that a man on a motorcycle was following us in the rearview mirror. He had already followed us through three traffic lights, and this was the fourth one.
The taxi we took stopped and waited for the red light, and the 125 motorcycle not far behind also stopped and waited for the red light.
The key is that the motorcycle rider is wearing a helmet, so you can’t see what he looks like.
The red light turns green and the taxi takes off.
I shook my head, thinking that maybe I was worrying too much.
