Chapter 1483 Strike
The seven of them walked weakly on the street, and Cao Qingping no longer held the cloth bag. It couldn't be exchanged for money anyway.
He had no interest in watching the excitement around him, and felt very disappointed.
Because I was not focused, I bumped into someone.
"I'm sorry, Taoist priest. I didn't pay attention. Sorry."
"It's okay, it's okay, your painting fell off."
Cao Qingping was about to cry, so he squatted down and picked it up. At this time, six young men also ran over.
"Dad, are you okay?"
"It's okay, it's okay, I bumped into the Taoist priest."
The six young men hurriedly apologized, and they had great respect for this outsider.
"It doesn't matter. What happened?" The old Taoist looked at the older man in a daze.
Gangzi spoke frankly. "Master, we originally wanted to exchange our jewelry for money, but who knew we would only get a little over one dollar, and we are still waiting for the money to build a house. My uncle was so angry that he did this."
"Build a house?"
"Yes, we have more than 200 people and need to build a lot of houses. What should we do?"
“Are you from the mountain?”
"Master, how did you know?"
Before the Taoist priest could answer, the four of them all looked as if they had suddenly realized something.
Cao Qingping seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw. "Master, please give us a clear way out."
The old Taoist smiled and said, "Okay, let me see your jewelry." Knowing that these were the bandits who had come down the mountain, why wouldn't it be wrong to give them a hand?
"Master, it's too cold outside and it's inconvenient to talk. Can you follow us to the hotel?"
"Lead the way."
Gangzi took the bag from the Taoist priest sensibly, still talking about how those black-hearted businessmen cheated people.
The old Taoist just listened patiently. He thought that Chen Miao would definitely like these things, so he just let her buy them. They should all be good things.
Cao Qingping was also a little happier. He saw that this Taoist priest was a capable master. Could he ask him to calculate whether it would be good for them to go down the mountain?
The more I thought about it, the more excited I became. This was a really good idea. Why didn't I think of asking a Taoist priest to do some calculations before? This was a mistake.
Back at the hotel, he warmly invited the Taoist priest to sit down.
"Master, I have something to ask of you. I would like you to help us calculate whether it would be harmful for us to go down the mountain. This concerns our descendants, so please help us."
"I'm not an expert at fortune-telling."
"Master, please don't be so polite. You can tell we are from the mountain. Please, this is a big deal for us."
The six young men were also begging the old Taoist.
"I'm really not good at fortune-telling, but I can tell that you came down from the mountain because I observed you."
Cao Qingping was depressed again.
"Master, although you can't tell fortunes, can you analyze it for us?" It's already late at this time today. Besides, I have to find someone to find out which fortune teller in the county can tell fortunes accurately. I can't just blindly find someone.
"Then I'll tell you. You can listen at will."
"Please tell me."
"Looking at your condition, you must have lived in the mountains for a long time, right?"
"Indeed." Cao Qingping said this with a bit of sadness. "Now it's a new society. For the sake of our descendants, we should live down in the mountains. We may not be as happy as you are living in the mountains, but that is not a long-term solution.
Humans are social animals. If you guys live together and reproduce together, it will have a great impact on your offspring. I think you also know that children of close relatives will be affected. They may have brain damage or physical defects. Then your big family will disappear."
Cao Qingping had heard about this before, and now he was determined to go down the mountain, even if it was not easy, even if life was hard. He had to come down. He did not have the ability to create anything for the younger generations or give them a good life, but he absolutely could not let the family fall in his hands.
"Master, please tell me more."
"You know everything, what else do you have to say? Lead these juniors down the mountain."
"Master, I also want to go down the mountain, and most people agree. But it's not easy for more than 200 people to come down. First of all, we have to find a place to stay. What should I do?
Taoist priest, you are an outsider, so I will not hide it from you. This is a good thing that our ancestors left for the younger generations. "
Gangzi and his friends opened all three bundles. Inside were some beautiful jewelry, jade, and gold-inlaid jade. The most beautiful one was a jade statue of Guanyin. This was the real good stuff.
I don't understand these things, but I can be sure that it is a good thing just by looking at the warm and smooth material.
"Master, these are all the things you left us. I wanted to exchange them for money to build houses for everyone. But when I went to the pawnshop, they only gave me 1.80 yuan for each.
Although there are still a lot of houses left, how many houses can be built after selling them? How to arrange for so many people? "
The old Taoist picked up the calligraphy and painting and took a look at it. It is indeed a good thing.
Cao Qingping sighed on the side.
"How much do you want to sell?"
Cao Qingping was stunned for a moment.
"You tell me the price, I can help you find
buyer."
"Really? I was wondering how we could run into the Taoist priest. It turns out that the Taoist priest can help us solve the problem."
The old Taoist smiled and shook his head, "Let's talk, it's getting late and I have to go home."
Cao Qingping glanced at the children. The six of them also looked confused. They didn't know either.
"Master, the elders have told me that these things are worth dozens of taels of silver each. Silver is now bought for one dollar, which means that this one is worth dozens of dollars.
We also know that no one wants this kind of thing now, and to be honest, it is not as good as food.
But you can’t just give me a little more than one dollar.”
"How many pieces do you want?"
"It's at least five dollars per piece. We have five boxes with about three hundred pieces, not just jewelry, but also ornaments. There are about forty of these Guanyin Bodhisattva ornaments.
Regardless of size, whether it is made of jade or this kind of gold-inlaid jade, the price is the same, five yuan each.
There are about fifty paintings and calligraphy, and I want three yuan for each of these."
The old Taoist nodded and said, "Let's go. I'll take you to ask. If they agree, we can take everything. If they don't want to, you'll have to figure it out on your own."
"Master, you must help us to explain. We are really waiting for this money for something. Everyone in the village relies on this money to build houses."
"Then let's go. We have to let people take a look at it. To be honest, this thing is really worthless nowadays."
The seven people in the village knew that what the other person said was right, but their hopes all rested on this.
Took them to the grocery store. Old Meng was quite surprised. Why did the old man come here?
"Mr. Meng, take a look. They say it's all good stuff. I'm not sure either."
Let’s fight!
