Chapter 264 It's a Baby

After Xiao Ran hurriedly solved his personal problems, he felt a sharp pain in his lower abdomen, as if his bladder was about to pop out due to excessive force.

He hastily fastened his trousers, and as soon as he stepped out of the latrine, he bumped into Liu Shengli.

"Manager! Baby! That big baby!"

Liu Shengli's eyes were full of panic, and Xiao Ran thought that the worm nest model had attracted the moth again.But after thinking about it, those insects seemed to be very afraid of the sun, to the point of melting when exposed to light.

"What happened to the baby?"

Xiao Ran asked Liu Shengli as he hurried to the courtyard of the village chief's house.Liu Shengli tried his best to catch his breath, making himself look normal, avoiding the passing villagers, and said to Xiao Ran in a low voice: "It's melted..."

"Is it melted? Which one is melted? Who painted it?"

Xiao Ran didn't understand what Liu Shengli meant for a moment, so he had to quicken his pace and walk towards the village chief's yard.

As soon as he entered the yard, he saw the fat man with one hand hanging down, wiping the white paste on his hand with straw paper.Those things were left all over the floor in front of the fat man, like a big puddle of lard.Seeing Xiao Ran enter the hospital, the fat man said a little embarrassedly: "Brother Xiao...Look at this..."

The previous insect nest model, which looked like a big pearl and a round diamond, turned into a pile of white slime in broad daylight.

"Brother Xiao, this thing you brought back is made of wax, right? As soon as you leave, this thing will melt in a splash..."

Hu Bayi picked up the big puddle of white paste on the ground with a stick, which indeed looked like a melted candle.

However, it is related to the habit of building nests like bees, so it is possible that this small white insect nest is indeed made of some kind of wax secreted by them.And it's not surprising that this kind of waxy substance, like the grasshopper itself, disperses when exposed to light.

"But brother Xiao, we found this in this thing..."

Suddenly, a familiar feeling came over, and at this moment, Yajiu Kuo became restless, and Xiao Ran felt it trembling slightly.

"That's it! Old Xiao! What you're looking for..." Yasujiu Kuo shouted.

Hu Ba took the things in his hand, wiped them clean with toilet paper, and showed them to Xiao Ran.

Xiao Ran couldn't help being stunned and excited for a moment, he couldn't figure out why this thing would appear in the main hall underground of Xia Niang Temple and be wrapped in the model of the insect nest.

In the hands of Hu Bayi, it is a part of the Faqiu seal, which is a fragment of the word "hundred".

Xiao Ran remembered the note that Hei Xiazi gave him, the last sentence was "one silk book for a hundred officials".He thought that Heixiazi just used the word "baiguan" to refer to the word "official" Shi.Unexpectedly, he really found this "hundred" stone here.

Hu Bayi looked at Xiao Ran meaningfully, and threw the stone over.Xiao Ran caught the hundred-character stone, and a familiar warm current flowed from the palm of his hand to his whole body, and the reaction of Yi Jiugui also proved that this stone was indeed a part of the Faqiu seal.

"God... Bai... Xiao brother, these stones look like the same kind of thing, and they are related to you. Is there any story behind this, share it with us?"

Hu Ba was smiling, but behind the smile, there was some faint suspicion.He may have felt that Xiao Ran's purpose in coming along with them was not pure, and there must be something hidden from them.

After all, he is a retired old scout, so his ability to capture information is nothing, unlike Fatty who only wants to get rich.

Xiao Ran didn't know how to answer, the fat man suddenly said with a smile: "I think Brother Xiao just likes to collect these junk things, maybe they are things played by ancient people, like mahjong cards and poker cards. It’s a stronghold of the Kwantung Army, and it’s in the ancient city of Jingjue, and I’ve seen a lot of good things, and even Da Jinya doesn’t know this piece of crap, brother Xiao, you’ve lost your trip…”

Fatty's words brought out the experience of everyone going through life and death together in the past, and of course the memory of Xiao Ran donating money and using all the money to build roads for the villagers in Ganggang Yingzi.Hu Bayi may feel that his doubts just now were a little overdone, the doubts in his eyes disappeared, leaving only a smile.

Xiao Ran couldn't think of any other good reason, so he simply said solemnly: "Then don't hide it from Brother Hu and Fat Brother, these things are fragments of Faqiu's seal, our Xiao family is the descendant of Faqiu Tianguan, so I... ..."

"What official? Heavenly official? I'm still the Jade Emperor. Brother Xiao, why are you running the train with your mouth full like a big gold tooth? Don't tell me that everyone in your family is like Jia Baoyu, who was born with a stone in his mouth , there are words engraved on it..."

After drinking a few glasses of wine, the fat man blushed and became very excited, and interrupted Xiao Ran before he could finish speaking.When Hu Bayi heard Xiao Ran say the words "Faqiu Tianguan", his expression froze at first, but he immediately followed the fat man's words and said: "Brother Xiao, I asked you to tell a story, but you really told us a story? Except This broken stone, is there anything else?"

Fatty regained his energy when he heard this, and quickly nodded and said: "Yes, I just let this thing interrupt me, and I forgot to ask you, it's impossible to just this wax bump, right? Take out anything else, and let Fatty Just play around..."

Seeing that Hu Bayi was still looking at him with a half-smile, Xiao Ran knew that he had listened to what he just said, but he didn't know why he wanted to change the subject.But since that's the case, let's find a chance to make it clear later.

He rummaged in his backpack, and suddenly a hard, sharp object pricked his hand.He took it out, it was a hairpin that had turned black, the head of the hairpin was in the shape of a freehand tiger's head, and a small piece of blood jade with green and red blood streaks was embedded in the tiger's mouth.

The fat man's red eyes were bloodshot, waiting for the piece of blood jade wrapped in red silk, as if his eyes were wide open, and he admired: "Da Jinya told us that if there is a funeral in this tomb, Hei, it must be gold and silver. But no matter how precious gold and silver are, they still have a price. This blood jade is the first time I have seen it. How much does it cost..."

As he said that, he reached out to take it, but Hu Bayi raised his hand to block it.Hu Bayi looked at his flushed face and said: "Your hand looks like a pig's trotter, and now it's like this again, be careful not to break it."

Hu Bayi took the hairpin and looked at it carefully, and said to several people: "We recently followed Da Jinya to shop and practice stalls, and also learned some fur knowledge. This tiger head shape is very common in the design of hairpin hairpins in the Yuan Dynasty. , called Chihu. This Chihu also contains a piece of blood jade. According to the nomenclature mentioned by Da Jinya, it is the Chihu weeping blood gilt hairpin. As for the price, there is no special saying for such a small object. It is estimated that that is……"

"It's over a thousand." Xiao Ran interjected.

When Hu Bayi was appreciating it just now, Xiao Ran listened carefully to the sound of this golden hairpin for the first time. According to Pan Jiayuan's market, this thing is really not very valuable.

But if someone really believes in the story behind this golden hairpin, I am afraid that the price of this golden hairpin can be doubled several times.However, Xiao Ran is not short of this money for the time being. Thinking of the miserable experience of that wooden beauty, he thinks it is better to collect it himself.

Seeing that the fat man was still looking into his bag, Xiao Ran took out the key again and put it on the wooden table.
