In the second half of the night, I still fell asleep in a daze. When we were about to meet up the next day, I just woke up. I quickly got up, packed my things, and went to the agreed place to wait for Uncle Wu.
After I went there, I didn't expect Uncle Wu to have arrived early.
Uncle Wu drove a black car and stood beside the car to greet me. I walked over with the box in hand. Uncle Wu naturally took the box from my hand and put it in the trunk.
"I didn't ask you what your name was yesterday." Uncle Wu smiled and opened the door for me.
I first handed the tea in my hand to Uncle Wu: "Uncle Wu, this is the tea I bought for you. My surname is Lin, and my name is Lin Shubai."
Uncle Wu took the tea leaves and I also sat in the car: "What a name." I saw Uncle Wu casually throw the tea leaves I sent into the trunk, which showed that he had not yet noticed this grade of tea leaves.
After setting off, I chatted with Uncle Wu and learned that he was the boss of a construction company. He had made a small fortune relying on the advice of experts in his early years. This time I went to Tianjin because there was something wrong with the construction site he contracted.
Then Uncle Wu also asked about my situation. After I told the truth, I asked about the expert I wanted to meet this time.
"Do you know that there are four kinds of people in Jinmen that you cannot mess with?" Uncle Wu said to me.
I shook my head.
"The first is the crosstalk talker. If you offend him, he will make up a story for you and spread it everywhere, ruining your reputation and making people laugh at your ancestors for eight generations. As the saying goes, it is better to offend a tiger than a crosstalker."
"This is one, and the other is the old Taoist priest who has a ruined temple. He is subsidized by the Taoist Temple, and he is famous. There are many people coming and going to offer incense, so he has no worries about food and drink, but he lives in a dilapidated old temple that is about to collapse. The old Taoist priest looks like a seedling in a coffin, but he actually possesses great abilities. This is what is said, hungry tigers hide in the old forest, and dragons lurk in the deep pools."
"The third thing is the river patrol workers. It is said that Tianjinwei is just below the Jiuhe River. There are many rivers in Jinmen, and the people in Jinmen are so playful. How can we not have so many people drowned in one year? The river patrol workers are responsible for one river, and someone drowns. The corpses, the corpses are retrieved, and the corpses are delivered to the river patrol workers. If they say they don’t have any means at their disposal, people won’t believe it.”
After talking about the above three types, Uncle Wu paused for a while, and then continued to say to me: "This last one is what we are going to see today, called the Treasure Holder."
"These treasure-holding people are actually treasure hunting, but they hunt for treasure regardless of anything, using various methods, and use all possible means. The most important thing is that the treasure-holding people not only have double eyes and can tell the quality of things at a glance, but also They also know strange things and gossip, can read Feng Shui, and can communicate with ghosts and gods." Uncle Wu's words were full of admiration, which also made me full of curiosity about the profession of holding treasures.
The time flew by quickly. As I chatted with Uncle Wu, we arrived at the place. After getting off the car, I didn’t expect that there was a lonely house in the wilderness with no village or shop.
I followed Uncle Wu in carrying the things, and followed the butler's guidance all the way to the very back, where I saw the capable person I wanted to meet this time - Mr. Cui, the Treasure Holder.
What surprised me was that Cui Sanye was not as majestic and powerful as I imagined, but just an ordinary young and old man.
When he saw us coming, he greeted us with a smile. When he saw me behind him, he was a little surprised: "Old Wu, what is this?"
Uncle Wu introduced me, and Mr. Cui nodded and said nothing.
Uncle Wu first told his story. It turned out that there was a small lake in a land he contracted, and he wanted to drain it to fill it up. But every time he drained it during the day, a pool of water would appear at night, and there would be children crying at night. Voice.
He invited several people to see what was going on, but they couldn't see any ghosts. Now that the development of that area has been suspended, he may have to pay a fortune if the delay continues.
Cui Sanye pondered for a while after listening, picked up the pen and wrote some on the paper, then handed the paper to Uncle Wu and said: "Go and buy these things, throw them into the pool during the day, and throw them for three days in a row. That won’t happen again.”
Uncle Wu looked happy and convinced. He quickly put the piece of paper into his pocket and thanked Mr. Cui.
Mr. Cui responded calmly and turned to look at me: "What can this little brother ask me for?"
I was still immersed in Master Cui's easy pickings and couldn't extricate myself. I quickly came back to my senses and said, "I have a batch of medicinal materials, and I want to ask Mr. Cui to have a look at them."
After seeing Mr. Cui nodding, I opened the box and took out everything inside.
Mr. Cui nodded while looking at it: "Polygonum multiflorum, almost a hundred years old, is considered a good product."
"Northern Astragalus, the digging was too rough and some of it was broken, otherwise it would be better."
"The Pangolin dragon can only be said to be passable."
"Hey, that's interesting." Mr. Cui exclaimed when he saw the two wild ginsengs I took out.
"This is a pair of mother and son ginsengs. Normally, the wild ginseng Luozi is ten miles away. This wild ginseng Luozi is right next to you. It uses its own essence to raise the ginseng to grow up. If you look carefully, you can see that the one on the left is slightly smaller. ." Mr. Cui Sanye saw the curious look on my face and quickly explained, "This pair of ginseng is used as medicine at the same time, and its medicinal effect is three times better than that of ordinary mountain ginseng."
After hearing this, I was convinced by Cui Sanye, because the farmer who sold it to me said that these two wild ginsengs were dug in a piece of land.
"Is there anything else?" Mr. Cui asked when he saw that I stopped taking it out.
"It's just a little tiger skin, I'm afraid it won't catch Mr. Cui's eyes." This sentence is really not modest. After entering the door, I saw the decoration and furnishings of Mr. Cui's house, and then looked at Mr. Cui's conversation and knowledge. I wanted to come here. A piece of tiger skin cannot penetrate his eyes.
"No problem, bring it to me and take a look." Cui Sanye said, "Small tiger skins are more rare than big tiger skins, because tigers protect their cubs. Hunters can hunt tigers with traps and guns, but they may not dare to provoke tigers with cubs. Tigress with cubs.”
I shook out the tiger skin. Mr. Cui narrowed his eyes. After looking at it for a while, he said to me: "Little brother, I will take this skin for 50,000 yuan."
Fifty thousand yuan! I couldn't react at the moment. Is this piece of skin that valuable?
You must know that the people in our village have worked hard to cultivate the land for a year, but they can sell it for three to four thousand yuan. This piece of skin can equal the harvest of half our village.
"This is not a tiger skin, but a turtle skin." Mr. Cui explained to us with a smile.
"When a tiger gives birth to three sons, one of them must be a tiger. It is said that this tiger is ferocious in nature and feeds on tigers. It will eat the first brother before it even opens its eyes. When it grows up, it will be smaller than an ordinary tiger, but it will be ten times more ferocious. And when Biao grows up, the first thing he does is to find the tigress and brothers that gave birth to him and bite him to death and devour him, so usually he will be bitten to death by the tigress just after he is born, and few survive to adulthood."
"This one of yours is just like an adult skin!"
