Seeing Brother Yu in a daze, I quickly said: "Who else could it be, Brother Yu! It's just your duck! Echo Duck!"
Brother Yu reacted and laughed suddenly: "You said that duck, I haven't seen it in almost two years, it may not recognize me long ago."
"It's impossible Brother Yu! It must know you! That duck was just like a follower! It went wherever you went!"
After we discussed it, we both felt that this plan was feasible, but we forgot about it at the critical moment.
"Echo Duck" is no ordinary poultry. It was trained by masters from the descendants of Li Duck specifically to hunt for underwater treasures. That duck is very understanding of human nature!
I made several calls in a row to inquire about the whereabouts of Echo Duck in the past two years. Finally, I got feedback from a friend of a friend. My friend said that Echo Duck seemed to have been following a group of people since March last year. Activities in the waters of Minjiang River in Sichuan.
What is there in Minjiang, Sichuan?
No need to think about it, it is 100% Zhang Xianzhong’s heavy silver treasure.
The circle is so big. When you reach a certain level in the circle, even if you don’t know the other person, you can still ask for contact information or a message through friends of friends, and I think I have this face.
As a result, after contacting me for a long time, the person there didn't want to talk to me at all.
Douyazai also laughed at me and said, "Fengzi, the weather has cleared up and the rain has stopped. Do you think you can do it again?"
"You get out."
I looked at my phone and gritted my teeth: "Damn it, why is my dignity and reputation so worthless on the road?"
Then I still contacted him.
The other party's boss said in a cold voice on the phone: "Wang Boss, I know what you mean. We rented the duck from Luoyang. I can only support my brothers with the help of this duck. Now you tell me that you want to borrow it for two days." .....I'm afraid this won't be easy to handle.""
I was listening clearly and immediately clenched my fists.
He kept his head calm and said straight to the point: "Brother, let's open the skylight and speak frankly. We have encountered a bottleneck now and urgently need this duck to break the situation. We will rent it for one month. You can tell me the rental fee."
"This... Wang Boss, are you really so anxious?"
Say your head is urgent.
The man over there was silent for a few seconds before he said, "It's okay to borrow it for a month. We'll just stop working for a month. The rental fee... is only five hundred thousand. Do you think you can accept this amount?"
He nodded and agreed without blinking an eye.
Seeing how straightforward we were, the other party asked us directly where the meeting place was, and said he would drive the ducks there himself.
Dou Sprout was scratching his head anxiously. As soon as he hung up the phone, Dou Sprout's face turned red and he immediately said: "Borrow 500,000 yuan a month! Are these people robbing money?"
I shook my head: "Okay, don't whine blindly. We have to spend no matter how much money we have. We blame ourselves for this. We should have spent 100,000 to buy that duck two years ago. If that were the case, now we don't have to be controlled by others."
The reality is like this. Two years ago we didn’t expect to come to Qiandao Lake today. Two years ago, one hundred thousand ducks felt too expensive. What about now? For a rent of 500,000 yuan a month, I have to beg the other party in a low voice. This is still relying on the boss's face. If I go to negotiate, I guess even if I give the money, I won't lend it to others.
There is a saying in the industry called "walking away a treasure". The Echo Duck is actually a treasure, and we walked away with it.
From 2005 to 2007, most of the people who were active in the Minjiang River were later caught eating steamed buns. It was very easy for them to make millions a year. Currently, there are many Xiwang reward gold and silver coins on the market. , as well as the large silver ingot with the Changsha stamp and the entire gold album, 80% of which were fished out by this group of people. The hat was not found on our heads through their investigation, which is a blessing among misfortunes.
With so many things coming out of Jiangkou, some people may ask, but nothing great is coming out of Qiandao Lake?
Of course it's out, but ordinary people don't know about it, and the people who sell it are just making a fortune in silence.
At the foot of the southern mountain where beans are planted, the grass is thick and the bean seedlings are sparse. There are only a handful of Tao Yuanming's authentic works handed down from generation to generation. In fact, as early as the summer of 1998, a tomb of Shaogong and his wife buried under the water in the northwest lake area was discovered, and a one-meter-five-meter-high carved flower was discovered. The more than 200 words on the bluestone epitaph were written by Tao Yuanming himself for his aunt. Tao Yuanming's aunt was Tao Ajing, the wife of Hong Shao, the Minister of War in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
This stone tablet was first sold for 90,000 yuan when it came out of Qiandao Lake. By the beginning of 2000, it had changed hands three times, and someone had already bid for more than 7 million yuan. As for where the stone tablet is now, don't say I don't know, even if I know, I can't say.
When I say big-ticket items, I mean these kinds of things cost millions a piece.
The weather was nice in the afternoon, so Xiaoxuanfei dragged me to fish with her. I have been here for a few days and I haven't seen a single ghost, let alone anyone. The surrounding scenery is deep and beautiful, and it is really an isolated place.
I sat on the stone and said in a daze: "You can eat the fish you catch. I won't eat it. The fish in this lake all grew up eating dead human flesh."
Xiaoxuan held her chin and said, "Yunfeng, I realize why you are so incomprehensible to style. Can't you tell? Fishing is fake. I just want to chat with you alone."
I said, "What are we talking about? We meet every two days, what can we talk about?"
Xiaoxuan lit a cigarette, looked at the endless lake, blew out a smoke ring and said, "Yunfeng, have you ever thought about getting married?"
I shook my head: "No, a real man should start a career first and then start a family. Wait until I achieve my goal."
"What goal?"
"Save 100 million before I'm thirty."
Xiaoxuan's eyes dimmed and she said calmly: "Then we have to wait ten years."
"A fish is biting!"
Before I could figure out how to answer the call, the fishing rod suddenly moved.
As soon as Xiaoxuan picked it up, the fishing rod was bent instantly! The huge force almost dragged her into the water!
Xiaoxuan leaned back with all her strength! She blushed and shouted at me: "I can't hold it anymore!"
As soon as I took over the fishing rod, I suddenly felt a strong force coming from the water! The tight fishing line seems to be broken at any time! Xiaoxuan, let me hold on! She quickly took off her shirt, holding her agate knife in her mouth, and jumped into the lake with a pop!
I pushed my feet hard on the ground and pulled the fishing rod back with all my strength! Even so! I was still driven forward by that thing underwater!
It only took more than a minute after Xiaoxuan jumped into the water! The lake suddenly turned red! It's like it's stained red with blood! I was so startled that the fishing line snapped!
I was about to jump into the lake to look for traces of Xiaoxuan. At this moment, Xiaoxuan burst out of the water with a splash, and I saw her holding a huge herring in her hands!
Xiaoxuan's face showed excitement.
"Yunfeng, look! What a big fish!"
I breathed a sigh of relief and helped to drag the fish up. This herring was almost ready to mature, and it weighed more than a hundred pounds by visual inspection. It was stabbed to death by Xiaoxuan! I didn't expect her to be so fierce!
Xiaoxuan licked her lips and said happily: "I can improve my life by drinking fish soup at night!"
Xiaoxuan seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly said to me: "By the way, Yunfeng, I thought I saw a big stone bridge in the water just now."
"Big stone bridge?"
Xiaoxuan nodded: "Well, it's under the water. I took a quick look and couldn't see clearly. It should be a bridge, probably at that location." She pointed to a place to show me.
Big stone bridge.....
I quickly recalled the hand-drawn map in the old Chun'an County Chronicle.
Will it be a proper bridge?
The Chun'an County Chronicle during the Guangxu Period records that there is a stone bridge called Tuo Bridge one kilometer north of Dongqiao Village, and there are three chastity archways around Tuo Bridge! The direction the Chastity Archway is facing is the south entrance of the Ancient Lion City!
"Did you see the archway just now?" I asked quickly.
Xiaoxuan shook her head: "No, I only saw a stone bridge."
What's going on? I thought to myself that the chastity archway at that time was at least three or four meters high. Even if it was underwater, if the archway was next to the stone bridge, it should be visible at a glance.
After thinking about it, I decided to go into the water to find out for myself.
