After returning to Beijing, I didn't see Shiry Yang for a while.
She might be busy finding a doctor to treat Professor Chen, or she might be taking care of the funerals of the victims.
This time, many people died in the archaeological team.
Of course, the relevant departments will investigate.
I was afraid that someone would find out that I was a gold captain, so I tried my best to avoid the serious and trivial matters, and not tell the truth.
Going into the desert for archeology is inherently risky, but four people died all at once, including a teacher and three students, and a professor went crazy.
It was considered a major incident at the time.
Don't talk too much.
Let's say that one day the fat man found two sweet girls to go dancing and asked me to go with them.
I had nightmares all night long the past few days and my head hurt, so I didn't go with them and lay alone in bed.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door, and I got up from the bed.
I cursed in my mind, "Grandma, someone else is probably coming to investigate the situation."
When I opened the door, I saw Shiry Yang, whom I hadn't seen for many days.
I quickly invited her into the house and asked her how she got here.
Shiry Yang said it was the address given by Da Jinya.
I wondered: "Do you know Da Jinya?"
Shiry Yang said: "Let's just say we know each other, but not very well.
My father used to like collecting antiques and did some business with him.
Professor Chen is also an acquaintance with him.
I came to you today to give you and Fatty's money." , I am going to take Professor Chen abroad for medical treatment in two days.
During this period, I have to check some things.
We will not meet again for the time being. " I had given up all hope at first, but now I was pleasantly surprised when she said she wanted to give money.
On the surface, I had to pretend to be polite: "I'm going back to China.
Is Mr.
Chen feeling better?
I was just going to visit him.
Look, you It's inappropriate to mention money.
We can't help you, and it's just causing trouble for you.
You Americans aren't rich either.
Really, are you giving me cash?"
Shiry Yang put the money on the table: "The money has to be paid.
It has been agreed in advance, but I hope you can promise me one thing."
I thought badly, this girl was probably going to take revenge on me, maybe she would dig out my old records again, so I was thinking about countermeasures, and said casually: "What can you ask me for?
It seems that rich people also have troubles, so don't Maybe you want me to help you spend money?"
Shiry Yang said: "You and I, the elders in our family, can be regarded as peers.
When my grandpa Jinpen washed his hands and stopped doing bucket fighting, it was because touching the gold captain was extremely harmful to one's moral character.
No matter how hard-failed a person is, It is inevitable that something unexpected will happen.
I hope you will stop here and stop fighting.
If you have the opportunity in the future, you can come to the United States and I will arrange it for you."
When I heard this, I felt unhappy.
The American girl wanted me to join her and hang out with her from now on.
After all, I was also a company commander, so what potential could I have if I stayed under someone else's wing?
If you beg a woman, then you will have to obey her everywhere in the future.
What’s the point of being a human being?
, then interrupted her: "I have good intentions.

But you only know one, not the other.
It is not a good job to touch the gold captain, but Chairman Mao taught us that everything has its two sides, Good things can turn into bad things, and bad things can turn into good things.
This is called dialectical materialism. .
Now that you know that I am a counter-attacker, I will not hide some things from you.
I have principles and a stand.
There are many ancient tombs that have been protected or discovered in the mountains and forests.
Undiscovered tombs and ruins, with countless treasures buried inside, are only Only those who understand the secrets of Feng Shui can find them.
If these buckets are not dumped, they may always sleep underground and never have a chance to see the light of day again.
In addition, the changes in the natural environment have also affected those ancient things that no one cares about.
The tomb poses a great threat, I see it in my eyes and it hurts in my heart.”
Seeing my plausibility, Shiry Yang said helplessly: "Okay, I tried to persuade you to turn back and give up, but I didn't expect you to be quite reasonable.
You are so righteous when you fight back.
I'm afraid there will never be another person in the world who can quibble like you.
You Since you are so courageous, I can't help but admire you.
Even if I didn't say what I just said, you must be unwilling to take this money."
I quickly put my hand on the paper bag containing the money: "Wait a minute, this money is considered as loaned to me by you, and the interest will be calculated according to the interest rate of the People's Bank of China."
At night, the fat man counted the money one by one under the lamp, over and over again, but he couldn't count clearly.
No wonder he was there.
It was the first time I saw so much money and I was confused.
The fat man simply stopped counting, lit a cigarette and smoked while saying to me: "Old Hu, what do you want me to say about you?
You are smart all your life, but you are confused for a while.
How can you say that this money is borrowed, but it is not a good thing?
I have to pay back the American girl’s interest, so I think we should retreat to our hometown in the south, where she will never be found, and I’ll worry her to death.”
I said, "You are so worthless.
This small amount of money is nothing.
In the future, I will take you out a few pieces of licensed goods and exchange them for you.
It will be enough to pay her back.
What we lack now is this little capital.
With the money, we can Only then can I stop worrying about what to eat tomorrow and have the funds to buy some good equipment.
Now let’s re-patch and start a new business.
I’ll be prepared for a big fight.”
The two of us put it together and realized that the ancient tombs hidden in the deep mountains and old forests are not that easy to find.
We are not sure when we will find them.
Although the money is a lot, we are afraid that it will be in vain.
Fatty is a more realistic person.
He thinks that the business at Big Gold Tooth is good.
Trading antiques is definitely a huge profit industry, especially selling to foreigners.
However, the foreigners who often come to China now have also learned a lot and are not easy to cheat, but as long as If there are really good things, there is no need to worry about them being reluctant to spend money.
The fat man said: "Old Hu, let's invest some money to open a shop and collect some antiques and artifacts to sell.
Maybe if you do it, you won't have to fight back and forth.
Although fighting back and forth can make money quickly, it's really not easy."
Do."
I nodded and said, "That's a good idea.
Fatty, you have a very bright mind.
Now that we have the funds, we can start from a small place and learn some knowledge about antique appraisal."

So we searched everywhere for a shop, but never found a suitable place.
Then we gave up looking for a shop and decided to get something to set up a street stall in Panjiayuan.
The characteristic of Panjiayuan is that it is miscellaneous.
There are all kinds of gadgets, large and small, both ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, but very expensive and clear wares are relatively rare.
They are all traded privately and are rarely sold on the market.
As soon as we received the advice from Da Jinya, we collected some small items such as bowls, pots, old coins, snuff bottles, and old pocket watches from the outskirts of the country, and took them back to sell in the antique market.
Maybe I’m not destined to be a businessman in this life, and I have a bad eye.
When I was collecting, I took the worthless things as treasures, and I took the more valuable things and sold them as ordinary objects.
I never made much money.
Instead, I lost a lot of money.
However, when we collected these gadgets, we didn’t spend too much money.
It doesn’t matter if we lose some money.
The main thing is to practice our eyesight and gain more knowledge.
After working in Panjiayuan for a long time, I realized that there are too many and deep things in this industry, even more complicated than Feng Shui, and cannot be learned overnight.
Speaking of which, it was almost noon on this day, and the antique market seemed a bit deserted.
There were not many people.
Fatty Da Jinya and I gathered around and beat each other fast.
When we were fighting vigorously, suddenly a man came from the front and stood in front of our stall, wandering around without leaving.
The fat man thought he wanted to see something, so he asked: "What's the matter, sir, what do you want to see?"
The man hesitated and said: "Don't look at anything, you don't accept antiques?"
I raised my head and looked around, and saw that the man was about thirty-six or seventeen years old, with purple-red skin.
It looked like he often did farm work under the sun.
He was dressed in rustic clothes, carrying a broken leather bag, and a mouth full of dirt.
Gaopo accent.
I thought to myself that this man might have some antiques, so I looked at Big Jinya.
Da Jinya was an expert.
Even though this fellow was unattractive and filthy, he didn't dare to look down on him, so he winked at me and signaled me to hold him steady until he got to the bottom of things.
I took out my cigarette and handed it to this fellow, lit it for him, and asked him to sit down and talk.
The fellow obviously had not seen much of the world and did not know much about socializing.
He sat on the horse I handed him, clutching the broken leather bag tightly and saying nothing.
I looked at his tattered leather bag and thought that this guy was fighting backwards, as if he had done something bad, or that there was something valuable in his bag.
I tried to keep my tone as calm as possible and asked. : "Brother, come on, you're welcome, smoke, this is cloud smoke.
What do you call it?"
The fellow said: "Call Li Chunlai."
He might not be used to sitting on Mazar, so he pushed Mazar away and squatted on the ground.
As soon as he squatted, he seemed much more relaxed, and his smoking movements became much more agile.
Big Jinya and Fatty pretended to continue playing cards.
This is how this business works.
You can't have too many people talking.
Firstly, this is a rule, and secondly, you are afraid of scaring away customers.
Generally, people who want to sell antiques are nervous, fearing that they will be spotted and robbed.
While smoking, I asked with a smile: "So your surname is Li.
Seeing that you are older than me, I will call you brother.
Brother Chunlai, you just asked us if we would accept antiques.
What's the matter?
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
You have something you want to do."
Li Chunlai was puzzled: "Very bright weapon" When I saw it turned out to be a dish, I asked him directly: "If you have any antiques or other things that you want to sell, can you let me take a look?"
Li Chunlai looked around and whispered: "I have a pair of shoes, how much can you give me?"
I was so angry when I heard that you still want to sell your worn-out shoes for money.
I'm afraid no one is willing to take the money.
But then I thought, it might not be that simple here, so I suppressed my temper and asked: "Whose shoes are these?"
Li Chunlai saw that I was kinder and more courageous, so he opened a small slit in the bag and let me look inside.
I stretched my neck and took a look.
In Li Chunlai's tattered leather bag, there was an ancient three-inch golden lotus embroidered shoe.
Li Chunlai quickly closed the broken leather bag without waiting for me to take a closer look, as if the shoe would fly off if I took another look.
I said, what do you think?
Take it out and let me see it.
I haven't seen it clearly yet.
Where did you get these shoes?
Li Chunlai said: "Boss, just tell me the price if you want it, and don't worry about anything else."
I said: "Brother Chunlai, you have to let me take it in my hand and have a look.
How can I make an offer if I don't see it clearly?"
I lowered my voice and said, "Are you afraid that this person is too discerning?
Why don't I invite you to the restaurant in front?"
, eating dumplings stuffed with whole meatballs and mutton.
I often go to that dumpling restaurant to discuss business.
It’s very quiet.
I think it’s really a good thing and we can negotiate the price.
Do you think it’s okay?”
When Li Chunlai heard about eating dumplings stuffed with mutton, he was so greedy that he swallowed his saliva and said, "It's great.
Let's not bask in the warmth under the sun.
If anything happens, we can talk about it after we have eaten the dumplings in sour soup." ” I winked at Da Jinya and the fat man, and then took Li Chunlai to a dumpling restaurant in the next street.
This mutton dumpling restaurant is well-known in the neighborhood.
The owner and his wife are both loyal businessmen.
The dumplings they make are full of fillings and have a unique flavor.
They are not only affordable, but the environment is also very clean.
It was almost noon, and it was almost time for dinner, and more and more people were eating.
I often come here to eat, and I know the owners very well.
After saying hello, the lady proprietress of the dumpling restaurant took us into the warehouse behind the kitchen, set up a table for us, put chairs and bowls and chopsticks on it, and went out to do business. .
This place is a private room where I conduct business.
There is nothing else in the warehouse except bags of flour.
Every time I finish my meal, I don’t let the shopkeeper give me change.
It’s considered as the private room fee.
I said to Li Chun: "Brother Chunlai, do you think this place is quiet enough?
It's time to show me that little flower shoe."
Li Chunlai's soul had long been lured away by the smell of dumplings wafting in from the outside.
He turned a deaf ear to my words and couldn't wait to eat.
Seeing this, I had no choice but to smile bitterly.
I pushed his arm and said, "Don't worry, the boss lady will bring it in for us when it's cooked.
If you can sell this shoe for a good price, you can eat the whole meatball every day."

My mutton dumplings are no problem either.”
Li Chunlai came to his senses after being pushed by me.
After listening to my words, he shook his head repeatedly: "No, no, after I change the money, I have to marry an aunt and have a baby."
I smiled and said, "You haven't married a wife yet and I haven't either.
Why worry about getting a wife?
When you have money, you can marry Mizhi's mother-in-law.
Didn't you guys talk about Mizhi's mother-in-law Suide?"
Han, please tell me what’s good about Mizhi’s mother-in-law.”
Li Chunlai was no longer as restrained towards me as before.
When I asked, he replied: "Hey, that Mizhi's mother-in-law is just like the red window grilles.
If I can marry Mizhi's mother-in-law, I will Everything is fine.”
While talking, the landlady brought in the steaming dumplings and two bottles of beer.
Li Chunlai didn't care to talk anymore and put the dumplings into his mouth one by one at a low price.
When I saw his attitude, these two kilograms of dumplings were not enough, so I quickly asked the landlady to cook another two kilograms.
Then I poured some vinegar into the small plate in front of Li Chunlai and said to him: "Brother Chunlai, this is There are no sour soup dumplings that you people like to eat nearby, so you can just eat this, which is full of vinegar, and drink some beer."
Li Chunlai stuffed several dumplings into his mouth and just immersed himself in eating and drinking.
He stopped talking.
I waited until he was almost done eating before talking to him about the embroidered shoe.
Li Chunlai already had great trust in me at this time.
He took out the embroidered shoe from the worn leather bag and showed me the embroidered shoe.
During this period of time, I have been exposed to a lot of antique antiques, and I am already considered a semi-connoisseur.
I took the embroidered shoe in my hand and looked at it.
The front of the shoe was less than a handful, and the front end was as sharp as a bamboo shoot.
It had a green satin base and the upper part.
Peonies are embroidered with blue, gold and red silk threads, and they have sandalwood soles with a sandwich in the middle that can hold spices.
Judging from the appearance and embroidery patterns, it is from the Ming Dynasty.
Not many women in Shaanxi have their feet bound, and if they do, they are mostly from wealthy families, so the craftsmanship of these shoes is quite particular.
If the big gold tooth was here, he could smell it with his nose and know the origin of the shoes.
But I don't have such clever means, so I can't be sure.
Judging from the quality and workmanship, it doesn't look like a fake.
This kind of three-inch golden lotus embroidered fragrant-soled shoes is a popular item and has great collectible value.
I asked Li Chunlai where these shoes came from.
Li Chunlai didn't hide anything and told me everything.
In their place, there have been nine droughts in ten years, and this year there was a severe drought.
There was not a single rain star in the sky.
The villagers were forced to think of something wrong.
In order to pray for rain, the village uses all kinds of tricks.
There was a blind man who knew fortune-telling and said that this was caused by the drought, and it would only rain if there was a drought.
"Dreading Drought Bone Piles" is also known as "Dreading Drought Bone Stake" among the people.
It was used by many people in the Central Plains before liberation.
This custom is also found in remote areas of Henan, Shandong, and Shaanxi provinces.
Everyone asked him where there was a drought demon.
The blind man calculated it for a long time, but he couldn't figure it out.
At this time, a kid who was herding sheep said that when he was herding sheep, he saw a green child running into an ownerless coffin in the long-abandoned cemetery at the east end of the village.
I don’t know who the coffin belongs to.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
No one in the village has buried people in that cemetery for a long time.
And for some reason, this broken coffin has not been buried yet.
When the blind fortune teller heard this, he insisted that the drought demon was hiding in this coffin.
After the villagers discussed it, they were ready to open the coffin to see if there was any drought demon.
The village chief disagreed and said the blind man was talking nonsense.
The blind man also lost his temper and made a bet with the village chief that if he could not find the Hanbao in the ownerless broken coffin, he would let the blind man's son herd the village chief's sheep for a year.
As a result, the villagers all arrived at the deserted grave to the east, and everyone did what they said and opened the lid of the coffin.
As soon as the coffin lid was opened, there was only a fishy smell, like the smell produced by a large pile of smelly fish after being exposed to the sun.
It was as unpleasant as possible.
A few who were bold and not afraid of death pinched their noses and came closer.
They were shocked when they looked inside.
There is a female corpse lying in the coffin.
The clothes and jewelry on her body are very well preserved and are as good as new.
However, looking at the clothes, it is definitely not from modern times.
This is an ancient corpse.
Although the clothing was intact as new, the body was shriveled, and the muscles and skin were like dead tree bark.
Just above the female corpse, squatting was a small monkey-like monster covered with green fur, only about seven inches long.
Moreover, this little green-haired monkey was still alive and curled up into a ball to sleep.
After listening to what the villagers said, the blind man insisted that this little green-haired monster was a drought demon.
He must kill it immediately and then whip it with a whip, and it must be fast, otherwise it will disappear at night.
It's hard to find.
A few brave villagers caught the green-haired little monster outside the coffin, beat it to death with a hammer, and then whipped it with whips.
The strange thing is that this monster did not bleed.
When it was whipped, a lot of black gas came out of its body.
Finally, it was beaten to pieces, and no more black gas came out, and then it was burned to ashes.
It was already dusk, and the villagers asked the blind man what to do with the female body in the coffin.
The blind man said that if he kept it, it would be a disaster sooner or later, so it would be best if others burned it as soon as possible, and no one should take the contents.
At first, everyone was hesitant.
After all, the corpse in the coffin was not from modern times, and there were many gold and silver ornaments.
It would be a pity to burn it.
While the villagers were hesitating, the dark clouds in the sky were getting thicker, and there was a faint sound of thunder.
It seemed that it would rain heavily soon.
Everyone cheered, and the blind man's words changed from doubtful to believing in them.
Since the blind man said that the coffin must be burned, it must be burned.
Finally, the village chief decided to let Li Chunlai stay and light the coffin.
Li Chunlai was a coward.
He usually did whatever the village chief asked him to do.
Although he was scared at this time, he had no choice but to stay.
In order to burn the coffin before it rained, he hurriedly brought a few bundles of dry firewood, piled them randomly under the coffin, lit a fire, and burned it.
Li Chunlai squatted aside and stared.
He was a poor bachelor.
He was almost forty and still had no money to marry his mother-in-law.
At this time, he was thinking about the gold and silver in the coffin and couldn't help but feel a little moved.
Unfortunately, he didn't dare to take it just now.
Now the fire has already It's burned, and I can't get it even if I want to.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
I don't know if it's worth anything after it's burned.
Li Chunlai was feeling extremely sorry when suddenly a white light flashed, three or four thunder exploded in the sky, and heavy rain poured down, immediately extinguishing the half-burned flames.
Li Chunlai's whole body was soaked by the rain.
He stared at the half-burned broken coffin, and his heart was in a state of confusion.
This was an opportunity given by God.
The fire had not burned the contents of the coffin.
If he wanted to You have to take it out now.
The rest of the people in the village have already left.
They are looking forward to a heavy rain.
There are a lot of things to prepare for.
Now in the wilderness, Li Chunlai is the only one left.
When he thinks of the strange female corpse in the coffin, there are really a few.
Distribute fear.
But thinking that by exchanging gold and silver jewelry for money, he could marry a big-assed aunt, bachelor Li Chunlai no longer hesitated, raised his hoe with both hands, and used the hoe to break the lid of the coffin.
The broken coffin had been burned by the fire, so it was not difficult to push the coffin board open at this time.
After a few pushes, the broken coffin board was pushed aside.
When the villagers opened the coffin just now, Li Chunlai just squeezed in the crowd and took a look inside, not daring to take a closer look.
At this time, in order to remove a few pieces of valuable jewelry from the female corpse, he had to bravely look inside.
The stench in the coffin has almost dissipated, but after being burned by the fire, coupled with the rain, the smell of corpses, dampness, burnt and other smells are mixed together, creating an indescribable weird and unpleasant smell.
Even though it is raining, it cannot be suppressed.
The strange smell in this coffin.
Li Chunlai was so smoked that his brain ached.
He pinched his nose to hold back, and took a look into the burnt coffin.
It was okay not to look at it.
But he couldn't bear it anymore and opened his mouth.
Wow wow wow vomited.
Seeing that the rain was getting heavier and heavier, it was getting late, and it was too late if he didn't take action.
Li Chunlai wiped the dirt from his mouth and spotted a gold bracelet on the wrist of the female corpse.
He was about to reach out to pick it off, and suddenly something happened behind him.
Get a slap in the face.
This slap scared Li Chunlai so much that he wet his pants.
He thought it was a dead person from a nearby cemetery who had been struck by thunder and robbed his body.
There are often rumors of zombies in their area, but they didn't expect to encounter them this time.
As a result, when I looked back, I saw that it was not a zombie, but my neighbor Ma Shun from the village.
This Ma Shun is famous in the whole village for his boldness, big shoulders and round waist, and a good air.
There is nothing in the world that he dare not do.
In addition, he has a bad temper, and when he fights people, his hands are neither light nor heavy. , so usually few people in the village dare to mess with him.
Ma boldly saw some jewelry on the female corpse in the coffin, so he became jealous and wanted to take it for himself.
There were many people at the time, so he couldn't get it.
He also saw that the village chief ordered Li Chunlai to burn the coffin, so he stopped. idea.
Not long after returning home, it started to rain heavily.
Ma boldly took a look and realized that it was God helping me.
Maybe the coffin hadn't been burned yet and slipped back while no one was paying attention.
Ma boldly didn't want to talk to Li Chunlai, a loser, so he peeled off the jewelry and clothes on the female corpse one by one, packed a small bag, and was about to leave while humming a sour song, when he saw Li Chunlai squatting beside him, staring eagerly. he.
Ma boldly warned Li Chunlai not to tell anyone, otherwise he would throw you into the ditch to feed the wolves.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Then he rummaged through his bag and took out a shoe that was ripped off the foot of a female corpse, which was regarded as hush money for Li Chunlai.
Li Chunlai took the shoe and felt very angry, but he didn't dare to offend Ma DaDa, so he had to swallow his anger and agree.
By this time, the coffin had been soaked by the rain and could not be burned even if they tried to burn it.
So the two of them dug a hole nearby and buried the coffin in it.
Return to the village and tell the village chief and the blind man that according to their orders, the coffin and the body have been burned.
The blind man nodded and said with satisfaction: "That's good.
I've heard the master talk about driving bone piles before.
If the newly buried corpse is not buried in a good position, it will turn into a zombie.
Zombies are easy to change.
This drought is caused by droughts.
Although I am blind, I understand very well.
Let me hear what you said about the coffin and what's inside.
The corpse is unusual.
Maybe the ancient corpse was pregnant with a child and was buried alive.
The child was buried alive.
How could he survive?
The child became even more violent.
Evil, this pair of mother and son have turned into zombies, so they are called mother-in-law evil.
They are extremely powerful.
Now that they are burned to ashes, they can no longer harm others. " The more Li Chunlai listened, the more he muttered in his heart, but he was worried that he would be punished by the village chief for telling the truth, so he had to hesitate and deal with it for a few words, and then went home to sleep on his own.
At night, I lay on my kang, tossing and turning, but couldn't sleep well.
As soon as I closed my eyes, I dreamed that the female corpse and her son were coming to strangle me, and I was so frightened that I broke into a cold sweat.
The rain didn't stop all night, and as morning approached, he heard a chaos outside.
Li Chunlai hurriedly put on his clothes and went out to see what was going on.
It turned out that Ma Bingdao's home was struck by lightning, and all four members of his family, including his mother-in-law and two children, were killed.
Li Chunlai felt bad.
What should he do?
He was already timid, and the more he thought about it, the more afraid he became.
His back felt cold, and he couldn't hold it back anymore.
He peed all in his crotch.
The villagers discovered the treasure on the ancient corpse at Ma's house.
Upon seeing this, the village chief questioned Li Chunlai, and Li Chunlai had no choice but to tell the truth.
The village chief scolded Li Chunlai several times in private, telling him not to speak out and keep the matter to himself.
Although Li Chunlai was usually very languid, he still had a lot of ideas in his heart.
He didn't tell anyone about hiding an embroidered shoe.
Ma DaBang was also dead, so he put all the blame on Ma DaBang, saying that he was forced to do so.
Made it myself.
He was always cowardly, so everyone in the village believed his words and didn't investigate further.
Anyway, the deaths of the four members of the Ma family were all caused by Ma Daring's greed for money.
Li Chunlai did not dare to show the embroidered shoe to others.
Although he was uneducated, he knew that the shoe belonged to the previous dynasty, and all the money for marrying his aunt depended on this shoe.
Tomb robberies are common in Shaanxi, and the trade in cultural relics is extremely popular.
Outsiders often come to the village to collect old things.
Li Chunlai is timid and has not dared to take action in order to cover up others' eyes.
Until one day, a distant relative of Li Chunlai from a neighboring county came to Beijing for transportation.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
He said a bunch of good things and hitched a ride to Beijing.
He found out that there were antique collectors in the Panjiayuan area, so he asked for directions.
It seems to be fate that he found me the first time he opened his mouth.
Li Chunlai looked simple and cowardly, but there was a hint of cunning hidden in him that was difficult to detect.
He drank a lot of beer until his face turned red and his neck was thick.
With the help of wine, he told the origin of this embroidered shoe.
There were some places around it.
However, there was a lack of words and some words did not convey the meaning, but I understood 80% to 90% of it.
I said to Li Chun: "The origin of your shoes is really twists and turns.
I took a look just now and found that these fragrant embroidered shoes with sandalwood soles are quite good.
To say that the embroidered shoes from hundreds of years ago have been preserved in such good condition.
Very rare.
I have handled a few pairs before, and the satin surface has turned into bark, but " Li Chunlai was worried that I would say this shoe was not valuable, so he seemed very nervous and asked quickly: "Boss, how much are these shoes worth?"
I felt helpless, chewed my teeth and said, "Brother, if I had a pair of these shoes, they would be worth a lot of money, but this is only one."
Judging from the market at that time, this kind of small-foot embroidered shoes from the Ming Dynasty, including the early Qing Dynasty, was a good thing in the eyes of many folklore enthusiasts and collectors.
Moreover, although there are many well-preserved small-foot embroidered shoes on the market, Almost all of them date from the late Qing Dynasty of the Republic of China.
I asked Li Chunlai if he could bring the other one, as this one seemed a little lonely.
Antique shops are all about completeness.
The more complete the set, the more valuable it is.
Sometimes one or two pieces are inconspicuous.
If you can get a complete set, the price will go up.
Li Chunlai looked troubled.
The other embroidered shoe had gone somewhere long ago, but this one was still tucked away until it was brought to Beijing.
I said, "Well, let me tell you the truth.
I have a special affection for the peasant brothers.
It was for the liberation of the Chinese peasants that my father resolutely gave up his studies and devoted himself to the revolutionary cause.
He did this A lifetime of revolutionary work, ahem, let’s not mention him.
Even the Chinese revolution followed the route of surrounding the cities from the countryside.
I have achieved the final victory, so I can pat my chest and say that I will never fool you just because you are from a rural area.
This shoe has been sold in the market.
It can sell for 600 to 700 yuan.
No matter how much it is, it will not be easy.
Brother, if you are willing, I will take the 600 yuan for this shoe.
Even if we make friends, if you have any other good stuff in the future, just bring it to me.
How about it?"
Li Chunlai said in surprise: "You heard that six hundred right?"
I said, "Why don't you think it's too little?
I'll give you an extra fifty."
Li Chunlai waved his hands repeatedly: "A lot, a lot.
At first I thought it was only worth three hundred at most."
I paid him 650 at that time.
Li Chunlai counted the money more than ten times and hid it tightly on his body.
I asked him to be careful not to accidentally lose the money after drinking so much.
Then I talked a lot with Li Chunlai about their hometown.
Li Chunlai’s hometown is in Ganyuangou by the Yellow River in Shaanxi Province.

It is the poorest county in that area.
There is Longxiang County near their county, which is very mountainous.
Duoling is said to have been a state burial area in the past, with so many ancient tombs that you can't even count them.
How many ancient tombs are there in Longxiang County?
There are six or seven tombs in one acre of land.
This is all on the surface, but there are more in the depths.
Tang Dynasty pastel products dug out from inside can be sold for tens of thousands of yuan each.
Many local farmers have several pieces in their homes.
They made their fortunes from what they dug out of the fields.
Since the Republic of China, there have been many cultural relic dealers buying them, and almost all the decent ones have been collected.
In the Qinling Mountains to the south, I heard that there are more large tombs there, but they are difficult to find.
All the good ones have been taken away.
There is one of the most famous Han tombs.
More than 280 people dug holes in the tomb alone.
Yes, these robbery holes have existed from ancient times to the present.
There are also a lot of priceless good things flowing out there, but Li Chunlai can't tell exactly what they are.
He only heard about these things.
Seeing that it was getting late, Li Chunlai's drunkenness had passed, so he stood up and said goodbye.
Before leaving, he told me that I must visit his home if I have the opportunity in the future.
I was polite to him for a long time, and then I said He sends it off.
Back at the antique market, Fatty and Big Gold Tooth were already waiting impatiently.
When they saw me coming back, they asked what good things they had collected.
I showed them the embroidered shoes, and the fat man yelled: "This old man is like holding a gold nugget.
He has been making trouble for a long time, and he just brought a shoe like this."
Da Jinya said: "Hey, these shoes are very well made.
How much money did Mr.
Hu pay for them?"
I told me the price, and Big Gold Tooth said, "Master Hu has really sharpened his eyesight these days.
There is no problem in selling this embroidered shoe for two thousand yuan."
I regretted it very much: "What did you say?
If you knew it could sell for so much, I gave the old man more money.
I thought it was only worth six or seven hundred yuan, but I was mistaken."
Da Jinya said: "Today is Monday, and business is light on Monday.
I think the three of us shouldn't waste our time with this.
We haven't had hot-boiled mutton for a long time.
What's the matter?
I tell you two, let's pack up and go to Dongsi. ” The fat man said: "Great minds always coincide with each other.
I have been craving this for the past two days.
Why can't I get tired of it?"
It was the restaurant in Dongsi that we often went to before.
It was just 4pm and there were still no diners at all, so we sat at a table in the corner by the window.
The waiter ordered the pots, put the things on the table, and when the dishes were served, they all went back to the counter to chat.
I took out my cigarette and lit it for Da Jinya and Fatty, and asked Da Jinya: "Master Jin, please tell us brothers how valuable these shoes are."
Da Jinya took the embroidered shoe over and said, "This shoe is not for ordinary people.
Did you see it?

It is a peony flower.
Since the Tang Dynasty, peonies have been valued by people in the world.
Although ordinary people also have embroidery on their shoes."
It's a peony, but it's definitely not as gold-plated as this one.
Look, there are six small beads embedded in the center of the flower.
Although it's not too expensive, the most important thing is that it adds to the overall artistic value.
The owner of this shoe is from Shaanxi.
The folk customs in Shaanxi are simple and people have not bound their feet since ancient times.
I estimate that the owner of this shoe is most likely the family member of an official who was transferred from another province, or someone who married into a wealthy family.
The lady who went there is either rich or expensive, so these shoes are very collectible.
I said two thousand in the market, but I didn’t dare to say it.
In my opinion, it is worth at least six thousand.
If I have a pair, the price will be higher.
Four or five times.”
The fat man and I stuck out our tongues.
We really didn't expect it to be so valuable.
I made up my mind that I would go to Shaanxi later and give Li Chunlai some of the money to make up for it, otherwise he would suffer too much.
While eating and talking, the topic accidentally turned to the ancient tombs in Shaanxi.
Da Jinya said: "Although I have never been to Shaanxi personally, I have heard from some colleagues who have gone there to collect stuff.
The eight hundred miles of Qinchuan, a prosperous cultural and military land, and the land of Sanqin have deep water and soil, and are well buried underground.
There are countless tombs in Longxiang County alone, some of which are nearly 100,000.
In this place, there is an ancient tomb under the earth, with several layers of culture.
Legend has it that there are many large tombs in the Daba Mountain area of Qinling Mountains.
I thought that I must go there if I have the chance to collect some good things.
Even if I can’t close it, it’s good to open my eyes, but I’m not in good health and I haven’t had the chance to go.”
I said, "I was just thinking about going there when I have time.
How about we go play together and collect some things by the way?
You go with us so that we can have someone to look after you along the way."
The three of them hit it off immediately and discussed when to set off.
I have long heard that there are many dragon veins in the Qinling Mountains, and I want to do some on-the-spot investigation.
It is best to find a big fight to defeat them, so as to pay off the loan sharks of the American girl.
It is really uncomfortable to live with the debt.
Da Jinya said: "The things dug out there are all traded underground, and certain procedures have been established, making it difficult for outsiders to interfere.
If we want to collect valuable things, we have to go to the most remote places.
That’s all, if you have it, you’ll definitely make a lot of money.”
The fat man suddenly remembered something and said to us: "Should we bring more black donkey hooves?
I heard that there are the most zombies over there."
I said: "We mainly go out to have fun and collect some things when we come back.
We don't have to worry about meeting big rice dumplings."
Da Jinya said: "Master Hu, you are a great expert in Feng Shui.
You said that there are many black and white evils there.
How do you explain this in Feng Shui?"
I said: "Fierce can be said to refer to zombies, and black and white refer to different corpse transformations.
Since we are talking about this, I will talk about it from the perspective of Feng Shui
