Zhu Fei was severely beaten by his father, Zhu Dahe.
The kind that couldn't get out of bed for three days.
Although Zhu Yu described the process of rescuing people lightly, Zhu Shoushan and Zhu Dahe were both adults with a lot of experience. How could they not know how dangerous a situation like being kidnapped abroad would be?
"Xiao Yu, when your friends come over, we have to thank them." Zhu Dahe said sincerely, "If it weren't for them, your brother might not be able to come back this time."
For their son Zhu Yu, their current understanding is mainly that he can hunt for treasures and make money.
They don't know how powerful Zhu Yu is now.
Therefore, in the eyes of the Zhu family, Zhu Fei was rescued mainly because of Ran Jie and his friends.
Zhu Yu was also happy that they misunderstood, after all, those who are good at swimming will drown. If your family members knew that you had become powerful and experienced such things frequently, you wouldn’t know how worried you would be.
Then the Zhu family just stared at the pile of bones on the table, a little dazed.
"Dahe, go and close the door!" Zhu Shoushan reacted the fastest, "Don't let others know about this!"
Zhu Dahe immediately went out and closed the courtyard door.
"Xiao Yu, is this really a tiger bone?" Zhu Yu's mother, Chen Yuejuan, carefully picked up a bone and asked.
She couldn't help but smell it. The fishy smell on the bones made her frown, and then she threw the bones on the table.
"It's true." Zhu Yu nodded, "We each divided a few pieces. I heard that this thing is good when brewed with wine..."
"It's good to make wine!" Zhu Shoushan nodded, "But you need the right recipe. In the early years, tiger bone wine was sold in pharmacies. Later, tigers became protected animals, and that stuff disappeared."
Zhu Yu continued:
"I checked and found out that tiger bone wine can dispel wind and dampness, dissipate cold and dredge meridians, and strengthen muscles and bones. It can be drunk by those who are elderly, have rheumatism, or have severe coldness in their bodies. Anyway, it's this stuff. It has health benefits."
Zhu Dahe came in from outside, listened to Zhu Yu's words, and then said:
"Send a few yuan to your grandpa, and ask him if he has any prescriptions for this. The old man's legs and feet are not very good, so he should be fine with this."
"Well, that makes sense!" Zhu Shoushan nodded, "Xiaoyu, bring some tiger bones with you tomorrow...remember to do it quietly so as not to disturb others."
"Okay, I understand." Zhu Yu nodded.
Zhu Shoushan added: "Then Xiaoyu, please put these bones away. Tomorrow, pick up a few big bones and bring them to Xiaoyu. It's best to have leg bones..."
Chen Yuejuan was naturally happy when he said this, so she responded and went into the kitchen to look for something.
Here, the sound of the door opening rang, and the neighbor Guang'an's voice came from the yard:
"Why are you closing the door in broad daylight? Is there something good that you are hiding from us?"
Zhu Yu had already greeted him and said with a smile:
"No way, that door...is it blown by the wind? Brother Guang'an, aren't you busy?"
"Didn't I hear that you are back? Come here and have a look, and ask you something by the way."
"Come, come inside and sit down." Zhu Yu wanted to let him in.
"We won't go into the house anymore. It's quite cool under the grape trellis." Guang'an's house is diagonally across from Zhu Yu's house, not too far apart. Guang'an likes to visit, and everyone in the Dong family and Li family members know that.
But the people are very warm-hearted, and they always come over to help the neighbors if they need anything, so they are not annoying at all.
"Then sit down and I'll get you a glass of water." Zhu Yu said.
At this time Zhu Dahe came out and said with a smile:
"Guang'an is here."
"Well, uncle." Guang'an stood up hurriedly, "Didn't you go fishing today?"
"I won't go. It's too hot. I'll wait until the afternoon."
After joining the cooperative, the Zhu family basically had little farm work. I occasionally work for the cooperative, but more often I tend the vegetable garden or go fishing.
"I don't have anything to talk to Xiaoyu about." Guang'an said with a smile.
Zhu Yu had already come out with a cup of water, and Zhu Dahe said, "Then you guys chat, and I'll go out for a walk."
The reason why Guang An was able to chat with Zhu Yu like this was because he was like this in the village before. Although Zhu Yu had become rich, he had not left the village, and his attitude towards the people in the village was almost the same as before, so the people in the village didn't do much. Treat him as a superior figure.
Zhu Yu still liked this situation. If people in the village really stay away from me because I am rich, then I would feel bad.
After all, how to live life, at my current stage, I can already live happily on my own. You don't need to look at other people's eyes, then you will naturally be happy.
"Where's your brother?" Guang'an asked as he took the water.
"I'm not feeling well. I'm lying on the bed." Zhu Yu replied.
The Zhu family did not publicize the fact that Zhu Fei was kidnapped abroad. Although I told the auxiliary police at the police station, because it involved a relatively sensitive matter, I didn't let it spread there.
People in the village don't know. I just knew that Zhu Fei went out for a while and then came back with Zhu Yu.
The villagers are used to the fact that the second child of the Zhu family often goes out and only comes back once every three months and half a year.
People are doing big things, so it is normal for them to be outside often.
"Then I'll tell you." Guang'an took a sip of water and said:
"Actually, I want to buy a metal...detector."
"Why did you buy that thing?" Zhu Yu had actually guessed Guang'an's thoughts, but he still asked carefully.
"Treasure hunting!" Guang'an's voice suddenly became softer. "I used to think that our place is so remote, not to mention compared to Guanzhong in the Central Plains, even those places along the coast. There is no way there is anything underground. So although I’ve seen a lot of treasure hunting videos, I’ve never done it.”
Treasure hunting is now a hot trend on the Internet. Many people are doing it and even more people are watching it. So it's normal for Guang'an to know about this.
After all, everyone now watches short videos. This flat operation allows the common people to directly see what treasure hunters take.
So it spreads really fast.
However, Zhu Yu couldn't give him advice.
He thought for a while and said:
"Brother Guang'an, let me tell you this. Whether it's salvage with strong magnets or treasure hunting with metal detectors, what you see on the Internet is 99% fake and staged."
"This...I know." Guang'an is not stupid, so he naturally knows a little about this.
"Besides, this is domestic. Our country has laws and regulations. Unless there are detailed records and inheritance, everything underground belongs to the state."
"This..." Guang'an had an unnatural look on his face.
"So I really can't give you any advice on what you said." Zhu Yu said with a smile:
"If I say you can do it, it means teaching you to commit a crime. If I say you can't do it, it is true that someone did it, and they were not caught. Let's not say whether it is true or not, but it did happen. So you must be thinking, I I don’t want you to get rich…”
"How can that be possible?" Guang'an's face looked slightly unnatural, and he hurriedly denied it.
"As you can see, treasure hunting is indeed possible for people to make a fortune. But I don't dare to do this stuff in China. So I always go abroad." Zhu Yu continued: "I really don't dare to give this advice. you say."
Zhu Yu didn't give any advice, and Guang'an couldn't force him to say it. But Zhu Yu's words gave him a reminder.
After all, let alone breaking the law, this thing is at least borderline. It might be better if no one sues. If someone files a complaint, it will be a big problem.
After all, there are many people who hate seeing others living better than themselves. There are them in cities and in rural areas.
Guang'an stopped talking about buying a metal detector and asked Zhu Yu where he went this time.
Zhu Yu then said that he had gone to Lao Maozi's place in the outer northeast.
"There are also ancient relics at Lao Maozi's place. It's actually quite valuable to find things from them and take them out." Zhu Yu couldn't say anything about Zhu Fei, but he could talk a few words after picking them up.
"I know this!" As soon as Guang'an heard about Lao Maozi, he immediately started to gossip, but this time he didn't ask Zhu Yu about it, but directly talked about a piece of news he heard:
"A friend of mine went to Lao Maozi to do foreign trade. In recent days, he started saving money and said he wanted to build a big one.
I asked him what he was doing, and he said that there was an old man whose ancestors had been to our country before and brought back many treasures - he seemed to be the ambassador there or something at that time.
Something happened to their family recently and they had to sell some things. My friend planned to collect money to buy a few things back..."
Guang'an's eyes suddenly lit up:
"Hey! Xiaoyu, you should have some money in your hand. You can actually handle this matter!"
"Old guy? Our old guy here?" Zhu Yu was indeed a little interested.
"Of course." Guang'an said, "It's all from our side, including calligraphy and painting, gold and silverware, and jade. Anyway, there are quite a lot."
"Then it should be auctioned?" Zhu Yu was a little curious, "In recent years, the price of Chinese cultural relics has been rising internationally, and the money from the auction will definitely be more."
Guang'an scratched his head and said:
"I don't know much about this. But I heard my friend mention it. It seems that because of his relationship with Wu, the old man's house was sealed off or something.
These things are from the old house that people don’t know about, so they don’t dare to take photos of them – they won’t be confiscated if they don’t show them clearly! "
"Then your friend's information is quite good." Zhu Yu was doubtful about this matter. After all, it was quite chaotic over there.
"Of course." Guang'an's bragging temper started to rise again, "That friend of mine is engaged in foreign trade. He can often get some good things from us that are not available over there. We have developed a relationship with that old man over time. That friend of mine is Ah, the road is wide."
Zhu Yu guessed that with such a wide path, he could still remember Guang'an as a person and friend. He either valued friendship or did not have much energy, and was similar to Guang'an's class.
Of course, it’s just a bit of gossip.
"How about it, Xiaoyu, do you want to think about it?" Guang'an was very enthusiastic about this matter.
Of course, Zhu Yu could actually see that Guang'an was simply enthusiastic and had no purpose. There are many warm-hearted people of this kind in the countryside.
Another type similar to this is the matchmaker, the kind who act as matchmakers for others without asking for anything in return. When they see a young boy or girl, they just want to introduce someone to them.
Of course, it's more of a purpose.
"Then I have to see something... By the way, if I want to buy it, do I have to go to them?"
"Of course." Guang'an nodded, "That's why I don't plan to go. But you often go abroad, so you shouldn't be shy about this, right?"
"It's not a shame, but it depends on whether it's necessary." Zhu Yu said, "If it's just an ordinary thing, there's no need to go there. Besides, if the place where he stays is more dangerous, then I won't go."
】
Regarding the fear of death, Zhu Yu spoke very frankly, but Guang An was a little surprised.
He felt that Zhu Yu often ran outside, so he shouldn't be afraid of death. After all, judging from the news, the situation abroad is not very good. Zhu Yu lives outside for half a year, so he must be very courageous.
But Guang'an would not despise him for admitting so frankly that he was afraid of death - he asked himself, if a gun were really pointed at his head, I'm afraid he would be afraid too.
"What should I do?" Guang An was a little embarrassed, "Then I'll call my friend and ask him? He just doesn't have enough money. If you can join in and lend him some money or something, I think he will definitely be willing to bring it. You go together."
Zhu Yu thought for a while and said:
"If the thing is good and your friend doesn't need much money, then I will borrow this amount. Again, I have to see what the thing is first."
"Okay, I'll call my friend!"
After saying that, Guang'an took out his mobile phone and explained while dialing:
"I have to send a message to my friend first and ask him to call me. Otherwise, people will notice me if I dial a number abroad."
Zhu Yu smiled and said nothing.
Guang'an operated on his mobile phone for a while, and then waited.
While waiting, the two chatted for a while, but their minds were no longer on chatting.
Zhu Yu was not very interested, but Guang An really wanted to facilitate this matter.
About ten minutes later, the phone rang.
Zhu Yu saw that the other party's number displayed by Guang An was indeed Lao Maozi's number starting with +7.
Guang'an directly turned on the speakerphone and said after connecting:
"Lao Meng, are you okay?"
"Okay, okay." The other party's voice was a middle-aged man's voice, a bit urgent, speaking in a lowered voice, "Guang'an, what's going on?"
"Didn't you call me to borrow money last time and say you wanted to buy something? Is there any clue about that matter?"
"I couldn't get it without the money. I didn't dare to deliver the goods, so I didn't ask anything about what happened next."
"That's it." Guang'an glanced at Zhu Yu and said, "I have found an expert here. He said that if you can provide photos and videos of things, if he is interested, I can lend you some money. Of course, it’s best if there’s no conflict with the things you buy.”
"How much money can the people in your small village have? What I want is jade Ruyi, and I can't buy it for tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands!"
"Don't worry about money." Guang'an had some guesses about Zhu Yu's family background and said with a smile, "As long as the people on my side are satisfied with what you provide, hundreds of thousands is not impossible."
"Really? There are really good things in my old house, Old Maozi!" Old Meng over there was really moved when he heard this, "There are two kinds of jade seals, jade bowls used by the royal family, gold and silver utensils, and the gold silk hats used by the emperor..."
Zhu Yu's heart moved when he heard this: This is really good stuff!
