hunting in 1986

Chapter 89 Chapter 88

In the county seat, Cheng Guang looked at Wang Yuan and said, "Are you really paying a high price for antiques?"

"Yeah, let's go, where are the antiques? Take me there, and I'll give you a price after seeing the goods." Seeing Cheng Guang's expression, Wang Yuan immediately knew that he did have antiques.

Knowing that he didn't want to beat himself up, Cheng Guang couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief. Fights are too common these days and the atmosphere is like this.

So if Wang Yuan really wanted to beat him, then he would suffer the beating for nothing.

Cheng Guang showed the way, and Wang Yuan followed behind pushing his bicycle. After walking through the streets for about half an hour, a dilapidated large courtyard appeared in front of him.

There is a big gap under the gate, like a dog hole bitten by a dog, and you can see all kinds of garbage piled up in the yard at a glance.

Iron pipes, cardboard, rags, wood, small bottles, etc., a faint musty smell wafted out.

Cheng Guang noticed Wang Yuan sniffing his nose, and felt a little embarrassed for a moment: "Come in with me, I've saved some antiques and put them on the east wall."

"Wang Wang Wang ~"

The big wolfhound that was tied up came out of the kennel and yelled at Wang Yuan, and the chain of the dog fell straight in an instant.

"Don't be afraid that he's fine, he can't break the chain."

"Well, this is the county recycling station? A public unit?"

"Yeah, huh~" Cheng Guang lowered his head and didn't say much, and led Wang Yuan in. He seemed to feel that it was a bit embarrassing for the family to collect trash.

The little girl grabbed Wang Yuan's clothes and followed him step by step, looking at everything in a hurry.

The three of them quickly came to the east, some porcelain was covered by weeds, and there were still a few pieces of jade half buried in the soil, Wang Yuan felt distressed when he saw it.

"What a waste of something good."

"Hey~ It was pretty good here before, but the silt came here when it rained a few days ago, let's see how much money you can give?"

"This lotus bowl is 2 yuan, and the vase with poems is 2 yuan. This plate from the Qianlong period is a bit bad, so let me give you 2 yuan. This bowl is too rotten. It feels like a beggar bowl used in the Qing Dynasty. 1 yuan..."

Porcelain and jade wares made a total of 35 pieces, and Wang Yuan added and subtracted to get a total price of 74 yuan.

"74 yuan, how about it?"

"Well... add a few more dollars, let's make up 80 yuan."

"Okay, if you say 80 yuan, it's 80 yuan." Wang Yuan didn't care about it, and bought a basket from his family for 2 yuan more, hung the basket on the back seat of the bicycle, and put the porcelain in it carefully.

I found another cloth bag, put all the jade in it, tied it up and hung it on the handlebar.

Cheng Guang carefully calculated that he could earn more than 20 yuan, so he was quite satisfied, and looked at Wang Yuan more kindly.

The little girl was very curious about jade, so Wang Yuan gave her a small jade Buddha to play with. In this era, jade is a beautiful stone, and people don't value it so much.

The little girl got the Jade Buddha, and she instantly smiled happily.

Wang Yuan pushed his bicycle and walked out, turned his head and said to Cheng Guang: "Why don't we cooperate to collect antiques, you go to the countryside or collect in the county town, and sell them to me. Don't worry, you will definitely earn more than ordinary workers."

"Ah? Hmm... I can't do it. I run around collecting antiques every day and I can't collect much. There are very few antiques in the Northeast." Cheng Guang frowned and refused embarrassingly.

Wang Yuan was a little disappointed. He felt that Cheng Guang was either afraid of being tired, or he really felt that he would not be able to make money.

He didn't insist that he planned to find someone else.

When he was about to reach the door, Cheng Guang suddenly stopped Wang Yuan again:
"If you really want to find someone to collect antiques, I can tell you personally, he will do it!"

"Who is it?"

"My cousin Liu Ergou!"

The three of them immediately went to Liu Ergou's house, which was not far from here, just across a street. On the way, Cheng Guang also told Wang Yuan about Liu Ergou's situation.

Liu Ergou's mother is Cheng Guang's aunt. His uncle died on the street nearly ten years ago. Liu Ergou went to squat for two years because of a crime and was released for more than a year. His aunt had kidney disease and had to take medicine. It's getting harder and harder.

Liu Ergou also has an older brother named "Liu Chuang". The age gap between the two is quite large, so it doesn't matter if the older brother gets married.

Cheng Guang handed Wang Yuan a cigarette, and he lit another:
"A group of them fought, Ergou was just a bluffer, and when the police arrested him, they all said he was the mastermind.

Now it's over, the real mastermind has nothing to do with it, his little follower has gone in to squat. "

Cheng Guang was full of sighs, his tone was sour and he hated iron for being weak.

Wang Yuan frowned: "Then you are willing? Your cousin won't tell the truth to the police, right?"

"He's just one-sided, and if he said something about stabbing his brother, he would admit it stupidly. By the time we know it, it will be too late and we will have nothing to do."

Wang Yuan sighed instantly, police investigators attach great importance to the first-hand confession, there is no very reasonable reason to overturn the first-hand confession?It is almost impossible, neither the police nor the judge will accept it.

If he wants to overturn the first-hand confession after careful consideration, others will only think that he is trying to escape guilt and make up nonsense to fool people.

Wang Yuan could understand what the young man was talking about about brotherhood, but he also understood that the police would definitely not believe it.

When he came to Liu Ergou’s house, Wang Yuan was shocked by the poverty of his house—there was a huge crack on the wall and the mountain, and the sky could be seen from the roof. Stink.

Poor families use newspapers to paste the walls of the kang, but they don't even have newspapers to paste the walls of the kang.

"Xiaoguang is here!? Hurry up, Ergou will bring your brother a stool." A gray-haired woman was lying on the kang, her cheeks were very thin, but she was still very happy after seeing Cheng Guang.

It's just that when she saw Wang Yuan, her eyes were puzzled, but she didn't ask anything, and she was still calling Ergou to bring tea and water.

Er Gou is only 17 years old this year. He seems to be malnourished and thin. He looks very fat in a gray dress.

The mental state is not good, the eyes are full of dead silence, dull, it seems that there is no hope for life anymore.

"Oh~ I haven't been working hard for the past two days, my whole life." The woman sighed softly, then brushed her hair and looked up at Cheng Guang: "Your parents, your grandpa, and your grandma are also very good. ?”

"Okay, it's quite tall. My grandma went out to bask in the sun the day before yesterday."

"Well, that's good. I was planning to go back and have a look, but now I fell ill again."

Wang Yuan took a bowl of hot water handed over by Er Gou, and there were dry and hard porridge stains on the side of the bowl, and he didn't dislike taking a sip and instantly felt a warmth in his stomach.

He was going to give the little girl a sip, but the little girl shook her head to say no.

Ergou's family is very poor, much poorer than the rural people, and is the bottom of a typical city.

They have no rural land, no self-sufficiency, no high wages in the city, and even no formal jobs, but they have to endure the high prices in the city and spend money on everything. Their lives are really miserable.

After chatting for a while, Wang Yuan explained the purpose of his visit—cooperating with Ergou to collect porcelain.

In an instant, the woman's eyes burst into light, Er Gou's dull eyes moved slightly, and there was also a hint of radiance.

But soon the woman looked at her son with a worried face, and said: "Er Gou is not like other children who can croak with their mouths. This child is so listless that he doesn't like to talk. Can it work?"

Wang Yuan smiled and said:
"Practice will always make progress. It's enough to let go when you see more people. Of course, the key is that he is really willing to do this with his heart.

As long as you work hard, you will definitely make money! !It's no problem to earn a hundred yuan a month! "

The woman obviously doesn't believe Wang Yuan's words, can she earn more than 100 yuan a month? ?She didn't even dare to think about it, but she was content to earn around 30 yuan.

But Wang Yuan's words still made her very happy, after all, it was also an auspicious word.

Ergou looked at his mother, and said slowly: "I did it."

Wang Yuan didn't wait long and wanted to rush home, so he led the little girl and left first.

Cheng Guang sat for a while longer, and when he left, he left Ergou 10 yuan as start-up capital, and then gave him a few words before leaving.
