Siheyuan: Starting from the Pig Killer

Chapter 64 Wuyou Cave Ghost Fan Tower
  Qiao Mohe lay on the bed, looking at the door blankly. The man had been gone for a quarter of an hour, and she felt that she had calmed down and stopped shaking.

In a daze, she felt as if the first half of her life had been in vain.

After graduating from a girls' high school, she married Jia Hongsheng, the owner of a silk and satin shop, and grew up. Within a few years, the city was liberated. Originally, this had nothing to do with her. She had never been interested in politics.

But what I didn't expect was that the new government really had a new look. In 1950, it promulgated a "Marriage Law", which stipulated that only monogamy could be implemented in the future.

However, this originally had nothing to do with her. After all, when she got married, it was before liberation. For a situation like hers, the law also gave an explanation, that is, if you follow your own wishes and are willing to divorce, then divorce. If you don't want a divorce, you can keep it as is.

Naturally, she was unwilling to divorce, but the development of things was always unpredictable. Not long after liberation, Jia Hongsheng went to Suzhou to purchase goods. Unexpectedly, he was attacked by bandits when he came back. He was shot in the lung, and his body was in danger. .

At this time, the eldest wife of the family launched a brazen attack on her and forced Jia Hongsheng to divorce while she was still dying.

Although the law states that one's wishes shall be followed, in practice this is not the case. It all depends on the person handling the matter.

She was unlucky. The streets seemed to like to keep all the concubines, concubines, concubines, and wives away from her.

In this way, she could only drift away in the end.

Fortunately, she got some property during the divorce, and she had learned embroidery before, so she found a job in a textile factory. With her excellent skills, she became a fourth-level worker in the past few years.

Although there is no shortage of money, the emptiness in my heart is not easily bearable.

In addition, when she first learned embroidery, it was just a hobby, but now she has to go to work every day. How can she bear this?

The inner depression and boring work made her life quite depressing.

Perhaps it was fate, and it was fitting that something would happen to her today.

After get off work, I remembered that today was my birthday, so I drank some wine while eating. However, it was a person's birthday, and the more wine I drank, the more boring it became.

Somehow, she rummaged through the boxes and found a hand-embroidered cheongsam that she often wore before. She put on stockings and high heels, put on beautiful makeup, and took advantage of the night to go to the dance hall where she used to relax and have fun.

Originally, she just wanted to look through the beautiful memories in her memory, but unexpectedly, she met that person.

The moment she saw that person, she didn't know what was going on. She just wanted to get him to dance. Maybe deep down in her heart, she still missed the leisurely and carefree life before.

But what she didn't expect was that the young and handsome boy was actually a veteran of flowers. From the beginning, the situation was completely out of control.

Originally, this ridiculous behavior should have ended as soon as the song was over, but she didn't know why the man's eyes were so deep and charming, which made her unable to help but fall into it, and unknowingly, she took him back to her house. The place.

The room that no man had ever entered seemed to change instantly when that man came in. She could feel it, as if the whole room was cheering.

At first, the man called her sister, and said something strange like "please take pity on my sister, I will definitely become my brother this time."

Later, the man was silent and only focused on his work. It was her who gradually moaned like "brother, brother, brother." Then, the brother became a good brother and a real man. When he was happiest, his earlobe was nibbled. , "Call daddy" seemed to penetrate into the depths of her soul, making her unable to help but cry out.

The first half of my life was wasted!

This was the only thought left in her mind as she lay on the bed.

"I'll come back later. Remember to close the door and leave the door open!"

These were the words the man left behind when he left. She didn't even know his name yet.

What should I do?
  To stay or not to stay?
  Qiao Mohe was in a trance again.

……

Refreshing!

Since time travel, a lot of the fire energy accumulated in the body has dissipated immediately. To extinguish the fire, you have to pour water!

Wenwen Township is the Tomb of Heroes, but Xiang Yunduan is not a hero, so he does not indulge in Wenwen Township.

There's something big to do tonight.

He raised his hand and looked at the time. It was just past nine-thirty.

We walked all the way through the night, exited the city from Guangqumen, crossed the moat, and then turned to the southeast.

At this time, Xiang Yunduan took out the mask from the space and put it on his face.

This mask was worthy of being a bronze-level item. It was indeed magical. The moment he put it on, it dispersed into his face like nano bugs, and his face changed accordingly.

Although it was the first time for Xiang Yunduan to use this mask, everything seemed to fall into place smoothly. With a thought, his face turned into that of a middle-aged man in his forties, plain and dark-skinned. There is also a mustache on his upper lip.

"You can only change your appearance, but you can't change your figure. It's still a bit imperfect. If you are really targeted, it's a loophole!"

Xiang Yunduan thought silently in his heart that his face can change, but his body and shape cannot. If he really encounters someone who is wary, he may be exposed a few more times.

But for now, there is no problem.

……

Panjiayuan is located in the southeast corner of the outer city.

At the beginning, this area was a cemetery, where the princes of the previous dynasty were buried. There were graves of big kings and small princes, more than one.

Your Majesty, the tomb is naturally very grand. It is different from ordinary people and occupies a larger space.

Later, as no surprise, the tomb was robbed and was riddled with holes. That might be an exaggeration, but it wasn't much better.

Later, I don’t know when, just like the former Liulichang, a kiln was opened here, specifically for firing square bricks and glazed tiles for the city. When it was most prosperous, there were dozens of kilns opened, including The largest one is called Panjiayao.

The name Panjiayuan also evolved from Panjiayao.

Naturally, Xiang Yunduan also knew about Pan Jiayuan. Before time travel, Pan Jiayuan was famous. In the beginning, around the 1990s, Pan Jiayuan was famous for picking up missing antiques. At that time, there were many genuine antiques. As long as you had the eyesight, you could pick up missing antiques. It's not a fantasy, it's very common.

But then it stopped working. The main product was all fake. If you could see the "antiques" from last week, they would be considered old.

After learning from Old Man Dong that there was a black market in Panjiayuan, he also inquired about it during the day and found that this place was indeed extraordinary.

Those who used to burn bricks and tiles moved away because the soil nearby was almost exhausted.

Now there are only a few small villages nearby.

However, although those who fired bricks and tiles have moved away, the kilns are still there.

There are many brick kilns here, and when the bricks are fired, many large pits are dug out. Some of them have been turned into semi-permanent ponds. Only when the weather is extremely dry, the water in them will completely evaporate.

In addition to the kilns and ponds, there are also large and small mounds of earth. These mounds are piled up by the fired kiln soil. Over time, they look like hills.

It is precisely because of such "uniquely blessed" complex terrain conditions that those who control the black market behind the scenes value this place and vigorously explore it. In order to ensure sufficient safety, these people dug a large number of underground holes between the brick kilns, extending in all directions. The scale of the tunnel warfare back then.

"Stop! What are you doing?" Under the night, Xiang Yunduan didn't know where the black market was. After all, Panjiayuan was also a pretty big place.

Just when he was still wondering how to find it, unexpectedly, after approaching a small slope nearby, two people suddenly came out, holding a guy in their hands, pointing at him and asking.

The two of them looked young, but they had sinister looks on their faces. Xiang Yunduan intuitively told him that these two guys had blood on their hands.

"I heard there is a black market here, I want to come and exchange some things!"

Xiang Yunduan naturally didn't understand "slang", "cuts" and the like, so he spoke directly and openly, which made him look like a novice.

Pretending to be a veteran has the advantage of pretending to be an expert, such as avoiding being treated as a fat sheep, but pretending to be a novice also has the advantage of pretending to be a novice, that is, it can make these people relax their vigilance, which will facilitate his subsequent activities.

Sure enough, after hearing what he said, the two men showed relaxed expressions on their faces. They stood on the mound and looked into the distance again. When they saw nothing unusual, they let him in and introduced him to the situation inside. .

In fact, there is nothing to introduce, because after entering it, everything is in front of you.

There are a lot of people on the black market, but many of them cover their faces. Some wear masks and sunglasses, some wear hats and hoods, and some have the same idea as Xiang Yunduan and wear masks directly.

Of course, there are a very small number of people who show their true colors to others, as if they are not afraid of being recognized at all.

There are temporary stalls on the black market, most likely by individuals like Xiang Yunduan. The stall is placed in an open space in front of the brick kiln. The items sold are pretty good, just gold jewelry and antiques.

Xiang Yunduan guessed that the origin of these items was most likely unknown, and they were either robbed or stolen. Of course, some antiques might have been dug out of the ground.

Behind the temporary stalls, the brick kilns looked like shops, obviously much more "upscale", and even had signboards hanging on them.

Businesses such as opium dens and brothels appeared here in a grand manner, which made Xiang Yunduan stunned.

He knew that the black market was definitely not simple, but he really didn't expect to see these things in this place.

You know, after liberation, the government's first big move was to ban smoking and ban on erotic places.

This place is indeed dark enough, it is simply a smaller version of the Ghost Tower of Wuyou Cave.

Xiang Yunduan suddenly had the idea of ​​​​fighting in his heart. This place is really suitable for him to harvest a wave of luck. If he throws a few grenades in the cave with the sign of the opium den, no matter from all aspects , should be considered a good deed, right?
  Resisting the impulse in his heart, Xiang Yunduan began to look for a store that could make a fortune in the gold business.

He had just arrived, and he was not familiar with everything, so he really shouldn't act rashly. There must be a lot of warnings hidden in this place. The surrounding hillsides were condescending, which was perfect for controlling the situation.

If you make a mistake, you will be easily blackmailed.

He had to finish his business first.

Soon, Xiang Yunduan found the place he was looking for.

"How can I exchange for gold?" Xiang Yunduan got straight to the point after seeing the owner of this shop.

"What do you want to exchange? US dollars? Pounds? Or Hong Kong dollars?" When the boss saw the business, he immediately showed a smile on his face.

"Change to Daheishi!" Xiang Yunduan said.

He wasn't planning to run away, so there was no point in exchanging U.S. dollars, Hong Kong dollars, etc. Dahei Shi was more useful.

"Oh, one gram of gold is worth eight yuan," the boss said.

"Haha, isn't that right? I heard that one gram can be exchanged for a big black one." Xiang Yunduan sneered.

"Then it depends on how much you want to exchange. If it's just a piece of jewelery that doesn't weigh much, then it can only be exchanged for eight yuan. If it's large, then it can be exchanged for the Daheishi price you mentioned!" The boss looked at Xiang Yunduan and said.

Most of the people who come here to exchange gold for RMB are people who can no longer survive and start selling jewelry. In this case, they basically don’t have much.

Those who really have the big stuff in their hands are the former capitalists. These people come here to exchange for gold. All they want are US dollars, Hong Kong dollars and the like. They exchange hard goods that are not easy to carry into banknotes and are ready to run away at any time.

So when the boss heard that Xiang Yunduan was exchanging RMB, he didn't pay much attention to it. In his mind, Xiang Yunduan just took out one or two gold rings or earrings.

But the next moment, the boss's eyes widened.

"I don't know, can I exchange this for the price of Daheishi?"

With a soft snap, Xiang Yunduan slapped a large yellow croaker on the cabinet in front of the boss.

"Big yellow croaker!"

The boss subconsciously exclaimed. Even though he was well-informed, he was still very surprised when he saw the big yellow croaker. This thing is not something that ordinary people can have.

The boss immediately reached out to get it, but he didn't expect Xiang Yunduan to take the big yellow croaker back again.

"Yes! Absolutely! I'll give it to you at the price of ten yuan per gram!" the boss said immediately.

"One large yellow croaker is 312.5 grams. According to this price, one can be exchanged for 3125 yuan, right?" Xiang Yunduan said.

"Yes, that's the price!" The boss nodded.

"Do you have so much cash?" Xiang Yunduan asked.

"Of course there is. How could I not prepare funds when I open my business?" The boss said this in a very firm tone.

"What if I add another one?"

Xiang Yunduan put his hand into his pocket and actually took out another large yellow croaker from the space.

A plan gradually took shape in his mind.

Anyway, he was going to do a big job later, so he planned to do more first. Maybe if he took advantage of this black market, it would disappear in the future.

"besides?"

The boss couldn't help but breathe a lot faster, and his eyes when looking at Xiang Yunduan became a little unpredictable.

"You have seen my things now, so should you also let me see your strength?" Xiang Yunduan asked lightly.

"The third one!"

The boss shouted into the cave, and as soon as he finished speaking, a young man with triangular eyes rushed out of the darkness.

"Brother!" The young man with triangular eyes glanced at Xiang Yunduan first, and then looked at the boss.

"This gentleman wants to exchange RMB. Please bring everything out and show this gentleman our strength!"

The boss said to the young man with triangular eyes.
