Far away in the hotel, I sneezed.
I rubbed my nose and continued to play with the sophisticated little toys in front of me. Although they were handmade, they were definitely no worse than those made with precision instruments.
I laughed loudly and said, "The sneeze I just made was most likely scolded by Old Man Goriot."
Xiao Wu said: "Shopkeeper, what is the background of this old man Gao?"
"Eighty percent belongs to the Shenji Sect. Whether it is true or not depends on his unlocking skills tomorrow." I glanced at the small password box on the table next to me. There were so many combinations of five numbers that I didn't have time to go through them one by one. If I try to dismantle it violently, I'm afraid of damaging the things inside.
Besides, spending two thousand yuan to buy a bunch of Shenjimen toys and a lock-picking opportunity is not a loss for me.
We were chatting.
San'er came back and said, "Brother Li, I'm sure I've found Old Man Gao's address."
"Thank you." I threw him a cigarette.
San'er sat next to me and started to smoke, and asked me where my grandson had gone.
I said Lao Sun went out to ask someone to inquire about the tombs of the Three Kings.
Zhang family treasure.
Our family is not looking for it. Apart from Cemen, there is also Liu Dapeng, an old man, who is known to be interested in Zhang family treasures. Maybe other schools are also looking for it.
Early the next morning, I took Xiao Wu and San'er, and the three of us found the residence of Old Man Gao with the password box.
I knocked on the door.
Before the door opened, Old Man Gao's scolding had already arrived: "Knock, knock, knock, where are the chicken feathers? Damn it, you are a bitch from the demolition team? You are so strong."
There was a bang.
The door was pulled open. When Old Man Gao saw me, his old face wrinkled up: "It's you, you little bastard."
"Uncle, why do you curse people when you open your mouth? I could have given you two thousand yesterday and invited you to drink tea."
"Don't mention the two thousand to me. Uncle, the stuff in my stall is worth fifty or sixty thousand at least. Did you sweep it away?"
"Don't talk nonsense if you don't have evidence." I said with a serious face.
Although Old Man Gao knew it was me, he had no choice but to let us in. I wasn't afraid that he wouldn't unlock it for me.
For Jianghu people, high-fiving an oath is more effective than signing a contract in black and white.
Put the lockbox down.
I said, "Master, can you get this job?"
Old Man Gao didn't speak. He looked at the box over and over again, patting here and hammering there: "Boy, you should be lucky that you found me, otherwise if you force it open, the marble inside will be damaged. The lock box No matter how heavy it is, it shouldn’t have this weight.”
"Sir, please." I made a gesture of invitation, and then humbly asked the three of us if we wanted to leave.
He said he couldn't do it, and even if he showed it to us, we wouldn't be able to learn it.
Then Old Man Gao took out a paperclip and poked it on the crack of the lockbox door a few times, then put his ear against it, and then patted it with his hand.
I see it clearly. Is this just listening to the mountains and knowing the way?
The emotional Lao Li asked me to listen to the mountains and know the way before, which is a unique skill of the Shenji Sect.
After listening for a while, Old Man Gao raised a smile on his lips, and then tugged on the password a few times.
With a click, the lockbox opened.
As Old Man Goriot said, the lockbox is surrounded by marble and is held together with tape. Once the box is violently opened, the marble will inevitably break.
But what's in this box is not a bracelet, but a piece of paper.
Juanjuan's handwriting on it is written by Xiao Bijing: Li Shang, I have already taken the things. I have known about the deal you made with Liu Dapeng for a long time. Now there is a bracelet with me. Even if you collect all the remaining things, Without this in my hand, you still can't figure out the secret behind the Zhang family's treasure.
To be honest, when I saw this note, I was a little stunned. I didn't expect that she would be tricked by her in the end, but I really didn't want to use the door to crush Xiao Wanfa and the others.
If Liu Dapeng knew that he bought a note for more than 40 million, he would probably suffer a cerebral hemorrhage.
When I was still dazed with the note, Old Man Gao kicked me in the butt: "I've done all the work for you, why are you still staying at my house?"
"Senior, farewell." I stood up to leave.
San'er suddenly stopped when he reached the door.
Old Man Gao said: "Boy, what do you want to do?"
"Uncle, take this." San'er took out a bottle of strong wine and two small blue pills from his pocket: "I guarantee that you will be eighteen years old again."
"Boy, be sensible and walk around with the uncle more often when you have time. Don't be like the little brat who secretly sweeps the uncle's stall." Old Man Gao highly praised San'er.
As soon as I walked out of the community where Old Man Gao lived, Lao Sun's call came.
As soon as he opened his mouth, there was news about the Tomb of the Three Kings.
When a few of us rushed back to the hotel, Lao Sun said: "Sir, I found out the whereabouts of the Tomb of the Three Kings. It is in Henan Province. However, the Tomb of the Three Kings has been excavated. I wonder if it could be us." Found the wrong one?"
I said: "It's unlikely. It must be the Tomb of the Three Kings, but it's not the Tomb of the Three Kings as it appears now. Let's go to Henan Province first, and we'll slowly make inquiries when we get there."
Several people agreed.
Anyway, the medicine store is not ready yet, so it won’t be of much use if we continue to stay in Shunde.
Having made up my mind, I asked Lao Sun to book tickets.
At this time, there was a knock on the hotel door.
Xiao Wu opened the door, and a man in sunglasses and a suit stood outside: "Li Shang lives here, right?"
"Who are you?"
"Mr. Zhang invited shopkeeper Li over for dinner."
"Come in." Xiao Wu didn't stop him.
I heard their conversation clearly, but I didn’t know Mr. Zhang, let alone have any interaction with him. If he invited me to dinner, he was afraid that it would be a weasel paying New Year greetings to a chicken.
But looking at Zhou Chusheng's respectful attitude, Mr. Zhang must have high regard for him, but I don't know whether he has high moral character or not.
I said: "Is it because of the last auction that the old man lost face?"
The man in sunglasses and suit didn't answer, but just said: "Shopkeeper Li, please."
I told Lao Sun to postpone the matter and not book tickets yet.
Then I got into the car of a man in a suit and sunglasses.
in the car.
I said, "Friend, why does Mr. Zhang suddenly want to see me, a junior?"
"Talented people emerge from generation to generation. Mr. Zhang likes talents and also likes to give opportunities to young people." The man in sunglasses and suit gave a rare reply.
I sneered in my heart, why give young people a chance? Isn't it just to find some excuse for yourself?
Some older people in the world like to give themselves a leg up, that is, a lizi. For example, this big boss is disrespected by others outside and loses face.
As a lizi, you have to do things that you can't do in honor of others.
When he came to me, it must have been because Zhou Chusheng had blown something. Mr. Zhang either wanted to give me a beating, or he wanted to lend me my hand to find the Zhang family treasure.
In a word.
Lao Jianghu is not walking around in Jianghu.
It's about playing in the arena.
