Chu Heng raised his head and carried the big characters with flying dragons and phoenixes on the wall, and proudly took out a cigarette and lit it.
“I’ll definitely have no problem selling this word for 88!”
After admiring it for a while, he wiped himself off and went to the west room again. He first took down the swing, which was a bit damp due to the return of moisture, and then went out to get the furniture.
They didn't put much, just a large wardrobe and a chest of drawers, a semi-circular huanghuali table and a few round stools.
After everything was done, Chu Heng went around the house again. After confirming that there were no omissions, he ran to the yard and moved in the stones picked up from Xu Damao's house that were piled in the corner as rubbish during the move. The West Room was placed in the center of the ground.
He had long wanted to study these stones, but since he got these things, Ni Yinghong and him have never been separated.
today.
Finally got a chance to find out!
"I don't know what the secret is here..."
With an excited look on his face, Chu Heng brought a maza and sat in front of the pile of stones. He picked up a piece from it and looked at it repeatedly.
But no matter how he looked at it, it was just an ordinary stone.
The only difference is that it is a little heavier.
"There must be something wrong, otherwise Sister Lou wouldn't be able to go to all the trouble to move home!"
Chu Heng frowned and muttered. After pondering for a while, he took out a three-edged scraper from the warehouse and tentatively scratched it on the surface of the stone.
"Crunch, crunch."
With a sound of friction that caused goosebumps all over the body, layers of stone powder fell from the stone.
"Huh!"
When he removed some of the stone's surface, Chu Heng suddenly discovered an unusual place. There was actually a light gray line on the stone. The color was almost the same as the stone. If you didn't look carefully, it would still be visible. It's really impossible to find out.
Thanks to his good eyesight!
Chu Heng suddenly beamed with joy, his intuition told him that this was probably the key to uncovering the secret!
"Pooh!"
He sprayed saliva on the stone and stretched out his palm to rub it. The water stains immediately made the lines much clearer. He quickly picked up the scraper and continued scraping along the lines.
Not long after, a coil surrounding the stone appeared in front of him.
Chu Heng raised his eyebrows, looking at the coil that was obviously not made of the same material as the stone, and exclaimed: "It was cut and glued on? What kind of glue was used? It's so strong!"
When he moved, everyone treated this thing as an ordinary stone. They dropped it a lot when loading and unloading the truck, but they didn't break the bonding joint!
"You have some skills!"
Chu Heng looked at the coil on the stone, thought for a while, took out a hammer, and hit the coil hard several times.
"Dong dong dong..."
The stone remained unmoved.
"I don't believe I can't get you!"
Chu Heng chewed the tooth flower, took out a chisel, pointed the blade at the coil, picked up the hammer and started smashing it again.
However, there are no eggs.
The coil seemed to be part of the stone itself, with no sign of separation.
"Oh shit!"
Chu Heng frowned and threw away the chisel. Immediately, he rolled his eyes, got up and went outside, bringing back a large basin of water from the pressure well.
He directly threw the stone into the basin to soak, then patted the lime on his body, put a cigarette in his mouth and left the house, preparing to go to the alley entrance to watch others playing chess.
Let the stone be soaked for now. If it doesn't work, try other methods.
He had nothing but plenty of time.
It’s not worth the waste!
At this time, many people had gathered at the chess stall at the entrance of the alley.
The two old men were sitting on both sides of the Chu River and the Han River. There were many uncles and uncles squatting or standing in front of them, but there were no young people.
After all, not many young people like to play chess. Compared with this boring game for them, they are more interested in activities that are good for their physical and mental health, such as dancing and taking pictures of their wives.
"Hurry and move the cannon. If it doesn't move, it will be trampled by the horse!"
"But you can't move. If you do it as a hindsight, the game will be dead!"
"Then get out of the car and don't stop!"
…
This group of old men who had lived together all their lives watched the chess game without saying a word, and tried their best to make moves with pale faces. They were even more excited than the two old men playing chess.
"Oh, it's so lively."
Chu Heng strolled forward, took out a whole box of cigarettes with a smile, and handed out one cigarette to each one.
"Come on, come on, smoke them all."
As a newbie in Xiaolihua Hutong, you must follow the proper etiquette.
His uncles and uncles had no grudges against him, and since he was a grain boss, he took the cigarette he offered with dignity.
"Director Chu, are you done?"
"If you need help, just speak up."
"We will be neighbors from now on, no need to be polite."
…
Compared with women's plastic friendship that can be good as soon as they meet.
Men are much simpler.
Smoking is a stepping stone, and alcohol is a stepping stone.
DaDaSheng Heng's large and expensive front door naturally blends into the circle of lords in Xiaolihua Hutong.
After chatting happily with the young and old men for a while, he turned his attention to the chess game.
Then……
Damn it!
Damn it!
Can this chess be played like this?
So wily!
Chu Heng was deeply shocked by the two uncles' superb chess skills.
This layout, this routine, is so powerful!
If I can learn one or two moves, can I defeat the old man?
Hey!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel happy, and he quickly moved forward, humbly observing the methods of the two uncles.
At the same time, he was also listening to the chatter of the people next to him.
Unlike the aunties, the old men’s melons are more or less stained with color after chatting.
When they get together, they almost never leave their wives, even if he is already seventy or eighty years old.
No, after listening to it for a while, Chu Heng knew a few influential figures in the area.
At the very end of their alley lived a very knowledgeable teacher.
For two cents, you can get her guidance. If you spend forty cents, she can even personally teach you!
In addition to her, there is also Xiaoyushu Lane on the next street, where a Ms. Lu lives.
This is awesome.
They sell newspapers, and they open their doors widely and welcome submissions from all over the world.
"Tsk tsk! You really don't know the depth of the water unless you enter the world of mortals!"
After listening for a while, Chu Heng shook his head and left the chess stall, wiped himself out and went home.
When he arrived at the west room, he quickly took out the stones that had been soaked for almost half an hour.
Seeing that there was still no change, he turned around and went back to the yard to set up the briquettes stove.
I don’t believe that water and fire will not invade me!
"Ahem!"
He started the fire and burned the wood. Soon the stove burst into flames, and thick smoke rose straight into the sky!
Seeing that it was almost done, Chu Heng threw the stone in.
Then he squatted aside and stuck his butt out, staring at the stone with his eyes wide open.
He was afraid of burning the contents inside.
