This old man’s surname is Zhou, and I call him Old Man Zhou. In the early years, there was a jingle describing this kind of person.
"It's hard to be single, it's difficult to be single. When a bachelor sleeps, he grinds the edge of the kang."
"Bachelor is good, bachelor is seconds, bachelor is uncomfortable, he knows."
"The quilt is lazy, look at the quilt, it's full of hair."
"You eat by yourself, drink by yourself, and warm your bed by yourself. In fact, being single is quite lonely. You have no money in your pocket and you still love sex."
.....
"You usually just watch these things to pass the time?"
"Yes, look how beautiful these are! I change one every day! I won't bring the same one for a month." He kept telling me how good these swimsuit playing cards were.
"Uncle, there's really nothing interesting about these. I have an unused DVD and a bunch of CDs at home. What if you want me to get them for you later?"
"This...how are you so embarrassed, young man? Besides, I'm too old...I don't know how to tinker with those high-tech things."
"It's very simple. You can learn it once you learn it. You can plug it in and use it. It looks much better than these playing cards!"
"Of course, I can't give it to you for free. Apart from this knife, what other good things do you have at home? Let me see it and let's exchange." I started to induce him.
The old man was not stupid. He thought for a moment and said, "That won't work. What if I give you something and you run away? Where will I find you?"
"I won't run! You let me see the things first. If that doesn't work, we can also pay and deliver!"
The old man frowned and fell into deep thought. I didn't push him and let him make his own decision.
Nowadays, people think this is impossible and unreliable at first glance, but it was true back then. For example, in the two years before and after the Olympic Games, some Shandong people bought a bunch of handheld game consoles that cost more than ten yuan each, and drove into Tibetan areas to exchange Millennium Dzi Beads, Cold Iron Jiugong tiles, and Lao Yinga with the children there. Black Box, etc., many of the Dzi Beads they exchanged for broken game consoles are of the purest level, and now they all start at eight figures.
How long does it take for an ordinary person to save eight figures by working part-time.
Therefore, it is often said that wealth lies in magic rather than hard work. Choose a career to make a living, and wait for luck to turn things around. "Luck" is an opportunity in life that most people do not pay attention to.
The old man seemed to have made up his mind. He said to me: "Young man, I have another good thing. I have been hiding it. I haven't let the previous antique collectors see it."
"Take it out and take a look." I said immediately.
He grinned and said, "Let's make things clear first. I heard others say that those kinds of movies need to be downloaded and decrypted online before they can be played. You can't just give me the machine, you have to decrypt it for me."
After hearing this, I choked on a cigarette.
"Uncle, you know a lot. It needs to be decrypted. If it is not decrypted, it can be released, but only the woman's face can be seen, but not the body. It is blocked by the mosaic."
"What is a mosaic?"
"A mosaic is... just a piece of cloth, completely blocked from view."
The old man immediately said excitedly: "Then what else is there to see! You must decrypt everything for me!"
I said yes, don’t worry, I will decrypt it for you 100%.
Then, the old man got up and started to rummage through the box. He mysteriously took out an aluminum box.
Inside the aluminum box was a torn newspaper, under the newspaper was a towel, and under the towel was a red cloth.
I watched helplessly as he untied it layer by layer, finally revealing half of the "white jade pendant."
It's broken, only half of it is left.
This half piece of jade pendant is carved with a phoenix pattern, and there is a piece of "red Qin" on the head of the Phoenix. This piece of Qin color shows that this thing came out of the soil. In addition. There are still a few traces of gold and silver threads on the phoenix wings. .
After a few glances, my heart skipped a beat.
This is a standard Song Dynasty official-made "phoenix-shaped hand-held pendant inlaid with gold and silver". This kind of thing was highly regarded in the past. Because the theme is a phoenix-shaped pattern, it is inferred that it is a personal wear for women. In the past, it was only available for princesses and princesses. , princesses, or concubines are qualified to use this.
It's a pity that it's damaged. The industry says that the price of the damaged parts should be halved compared to the price of the whole device. This means that what originally cost 500,000 yuan is now only worth 25,000 yuan.
"Did you really pick this up in a cave?"
His eyes were evasive and his words were hesitant.
People can lie, but things cannot deceive people. Unless it is buried in the soil for hundreds of years, this kind of bone-deep Qin will not come out.
Seeing that I kept asking, the old man snatched the things away and said loudly: "Okay! Let's go! I won't trade with you!"
He stood up and opened the door to see off the guests.
"Don't be like this, uncle! We can discuss everything we have to say! We had a good chat, why don't we change again?"
He said with a dark face: "Young man! If you want to change, just change! But don't ask around!"
"No problem, I won't ask you. Let's make an agreement. I will bring you what you want before noon at the latest. You must keep your word and don't regret letting me go."
"At such an old age, I can still go back on my word! Don't worry! Old man, I keep my word! But you must promise to decrypt it for me!"
I nodded: "Okay, then do you mainly look at domestic products or foreign products?"
The old man didn't understand the meaning at first, but when he realized what he meant, he immediately showed a lewd smile.
He rubbed his hands back and forth and said, "It's up to you to decide. I won't pick the old man."
I hurried down the mountain before dawn and called Gao Bing first.
Gao Bing said that the body has been taken to the crematorium in the west of the city that I mentioned, and he is currently negotiating with people for a price. The crematorium quoted 30,000 yuan.
He said he expected to complete the cremation tonight, and then he would go to Ningbo to settle the accounts with the car thieves. He also asked me if I wanted to go with him.
I'm not afraid of causing trouble, I just have too many trivial matters to get away from. To be more realistic, our relationship is just a chance encounter. I don't have the trouble to accompany him to fight with the Ningbo people, so I politely declined and gave him my best wishes. Everything went well for him on this trip.
At 11 o'clock in the morning, after I went to the market to buy the video player and "CD" that the old man wanted, I returned to the hotel. Seeing my hurried look, Xiaoxuan frowned and asked, "You haven't seen anyone in the past two nights. , What are you doing secretly?"
I said I was doing business.
Xiaoxuan raised her eyebrows and said, "Are you fascinated by that Sai Xishi again? Let me tell you, that woman is not the same type of person as us."
"It's nothing! You're thinking too much! Don't you understand who I am? I'm really busy!"
Xiaoxuan said reluctantly: "Okay! I happen to be free! What's the business? I'll go with you to do it."
"Farewell, you are of no use, it is inconvenient to take you with me."
"Try one more thing."
I immediately shut my mouth.
At one o'clock, on Weiping Mountain, Xiaoxuan and I were chatting while climbing.
After hearing what I said, Xiaoxuan said in disgust, "This kind of person is so dishonest and disgusting."
I said: "What a fuss, there are many people like this in society, old bachelors, old bachelors, they look serious on the outside, but in their hearts they may be obsessed with women. If you encounter such old bachelors in the future, you must stay away from them."
"cut."
Xiaoxuan said with disdain in her eyes: "As long as this kind of person dares to touch me, I will cut off his thing on the spot."
I smiled and said, "Do we want that jade pendant or not? The key is to find out where the old bachelor got it."
"Yunfeng, do you mean besides Fangla Cave, are there any other ancient tombs in this mountain?"
I nodded, pointed to the distance and said, "I only realized it yesterday. Xiaoxuan, look, the tail of Weiping Mountain is just connected to the top of Wangfu Mountain next door. It can be seen as a whole vein, except for Fang La There are several large caves halfway up the mountain. In Feng Shui, this is called "Double Mountain Cave", which is more suitable for burying people. If there is an ancient tomb, it will most likely be halfway up the mountain.
"The Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were buried on the top of the mountain. The tombs of the Qin and Han Dynasties were buried in the mountains. The corpses of the Eastern Han and Southern Dynasties were buried in the mountains. The corpses of the Sui, Tang and Song Dynasties were buried on the slope. Look carefully at the hillside. Is there a large earth slope?"
Xiaoxuan raised her hand and looked around, nodding and saying that she saw Datupo.
I frowned and said: "We are standing far away, and it doesn't look big. In fact, the slope area is very large, and there are acres of crop fields, and people often appear there. It will take at least a few days to accurately locate it. If it is always If the bachelor can reveal the news to us, wouldn’t it be much easier?”
Xiaoxuan immediately asked me: "You are right, but what if the old bachelor is tight-lipped and refuses to reveal anything? Didn't you agree to bring me here because you wanted me to use a beauty trap to trap him?"
"How is that possible? What are you thinking about?"
"How could I let that old bachelor take advantage of you! I just took you out to have some fun! Watch the scenery and relieve your boredom!"
After hearing my words, Xiaoxuan cut again, but the smile on her lips couldn't be stopped.
What I said from my heart was that I just felt that I had neglected her in recent months, so I just took her out to climb mountains and relax.
When I arrived at the hut and knocked on the door, the old man was waiting for me as promised.
When I took the DVD player, the old man kept staring at Xiaoxuan. Xiaoxuan glared at him, and he restrained himself a little.
After installing it, I asked Xiaoxuan to go out and wait. At this time, the old man suddenly said, "How about you take the things back? I don't want to change them anymore."
My face turned dark immediately, because I was afraid of this!
He glanced at the door and said with a smile: "Young man, I'm not a fool. I know what you have in mind. As long as you can promise me one thing, I will tell you the secret of the jade pendant."
