Chapter 14 Golden Week

Golden Week

Early the next morning, at the gate of the market, the bald man's companion drove a newly rented ordinary Santana. The bald man stretched out his hand to greet the burdened man who had been waiting here to get into the car.The burdened man sat in the co-pilot seat, carrying a heavy and bulging black backpack, stretched out his hands from time to time to point out the direction, and the group of three set off like this.

That night, when it was just getting dark, their car drove into a remote mountain village, and drove directly to a farmer's house at the entrance of the village.The burden man hurriedly let everyone into the house, urged the host to finish the meal quickly, and shouted: "I'm hungry, I'm hungry."

The host family is an old couple. The younger generation of the family have gone out to work and study. The old couple and the burden man are very familiar. They killed a chicken and quickly prepared a table of meals.

While eating, the bald man intentionally or unintentionally asked the old couple about the history and anecdotes of the village, especially if there were any objects used by the older generation, such as pots and bowls.The burden man seemed to be really hungry, and he didn't talk to everyone, just kept his head buried in eating.For these questions raised by the bald man, the old farmer couldn't answer for a while, and could only smile foolishly.

After a night of silence, the three of them got up as soon as it was light, and began to inquire from door to door in the village, conducting a blanket search, for fear of missing a single household.As a result, I worked until three or four o'clock in the afternoon, but still got nothing.

"Brother, what's the matter? Didn't you say that there are a lot of things here!" The three were lying exhausted on a grassy slope outside the village, and the bald man asked disappointedly.

"Just now you also heard that in the past two years, more people have gone to the mountains to collect goods, not like before, maybe they have been collected." The burden man said helplessly.

"It's fucking unlucky, it's a waste of time." The bald male companion said bitterly.

"Hey!" The bald man sighed and stopped talking.

After a while, the burdened man suddenly sat up and said, "Why didn't I expect that there is another person! Let's go, I will lead you to find him."

……

That day, after dinner, the burdened man led the two of them in a detour deliberately so as to avoid other people in the village.The three of them walked quickly to the entrance of the back village, and saw a small farmyard in the distance.The three of them stopped and squatted behind a piece of dirt, looking around the small courtyard, but never moved forward.

Soon, it was getting dark, and a short and strong young man came out of the courtyard with some agricultural tools, turned around carefully and locked the door, looked around, and walked straight to the back mountain, as if he was going to work in the field .

The three of them cautiously followed far behind.The farther and farther along the way, gradually came to a woodland with a lot of ancient trees and rich trees. It turned out to be a public cemetery handed down by the ancestors of the village for many years.

The young man went directly to a mound full of weeds, looked around, put down the agricultural tools on his shoulders, stooped his waist and lifted it vigorously, lifting a piece of lawn, revealing a hole the size of a person, and slid through it neatly. go in.

The three of them watched from a distance, not daring to step forward, their hearts full of anticipation.

In the afternoon, the burdened man led the two of them to the young man's house. After sitting down, he shook his head like a rattle as soon as he asked to buy some old goods. Finally, he nodded and asked them to come to the house to look at the goods tomorrow morning.

According to Bao Lunan's introduction along the way, this village was moved to the south during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties and the Wuhu chaos in the Central Plains.There used to be two cemeteries in the village. During the special period, when the four old cemeteries were destroyed, a large cemetery near the village was flattened. At that time, many treasures taken out of the cemetery were destroyed, and the rest were scattered around. In the past few years, they have basically flowed to the black market outside.The two utensils that I sold to the two of them probably came from there.

However, this small cemetery far from the village survived the turmoil and was basically preserved intact. Since it is the ancestral tomb of the villagers' own ancestors, after the turmoil in a special period, the villagers can see it. very tight.This place is located in a remote place, outsiders don't know about it, and secondly, they don't dare to come to rob the tomb if they know about it.A few years ago, two foreigners came in to try it out, but they both died in the mountain stream inexplicably. The police came to investigate several times, but the case has not been solved yet.

This is an example.

But this young man is different. He entered the village from another place. Not long after he got married, the whole family took a farm vehicle into the city, but the car overturned on the way, fell off the cliff, and the car crashed. He survived and lived in this world alone.But from then on, when the villagers saw that he had no support in the village, they hated him very much, so he felt revengeful and deliberately stole and dug the ancestral graves of the villagers. For the industry.I don't know how much of that ancient tomb was dug up by him!

Coincidentally, this young man is exactly the relative of Bao Nan's family.

Whether this trip will be successful depends on what goods he can receive from him!

At this time, I saw the young man going back and forth, going in and out more than a dozen times, taking out the old soil, taking it out, and spilling it into the distant ravine, probably because he was afraid of being caught. people found out.The last time, when he came out, he was holding a bag of things in his hand.He looked around again, and still covered the hole with a large piece of lawn, collected his tools, and walked quickly down the mountain.

Not to be outdone, the three quietly followed behind.Arriving at a small stream, the young man stopped and seemed to be washing something in the water. After a while, he went back on the road, went home and closed the door to sleep.

The three of them saw it clearly and cast knowing glances at each other.

After staying up all night again, early in the morning, the three of them came directly to call the door. The young man opened the door with a tired face, let the three of them enter the house, and closed the courtyard door again with a bang.

Entering the back room, the young man carefully dragged out a woven bag from under the bed, which contained some items wrapped in old clothes.I opened it layer by layer, and took out four things in total, none of which were cleaned very cleanly, and there were still some mud.The three of them took it one by one and looked at it carefully.

"Old Wu, I told you well yesterday afternoon, why did you get so few things? It doesn't look too good! Really, I waited all night for nothing. Okay, let's make a price." Said to the young man unhappily.

Lao Wu looked at the burdened man with disdain, and instead of pleading, he slapped him directly.

"Fifty thousand?" the bald man's companion called out.

The fifth child snorted and said, "50."

"Ah?" The three of them froze there, speechless for a while.

The bald man took out a cigarette, passed it around, lit it himself, and said, "Little brother, your price is too outrageous. It's not easy for us to come here. Let's talk about it, talk about it."

The fifth child did not back down, picked up a jade tripod, and said, "Just talking about this one, the market will cost 30 yuan. I have been in this business for more than a day or two. The products in the mountains are also sold now." It’s almost there, and if you leave one, you will lose one. If you don’t want it, I won’t force it, and someone will come to collect it in two days.”

The bald man laughed and said, "Who said no? Why not? Definitely. You have to do business, you have to make friends, right? But, your price shouldn't be too high!"

The burden man also chimed in and said: "Old man, we have been fellow villagers for many years, and this is the first time I bring my friends into the mountains. Don't make it difficult for me, you can't turn your face and deny people!"

The fifth thought for a while and said, "Uncle, we are doing business, and we are not paying back favors. Please don't say that."

At this time, the bald male companion said: "Young man, look, you copper baron, there is a hole in your foot here, it's all disfigured." Everyone gathered around and looked, and sure enough, there was a small piece missing on the bottom of the foot. mouth.

The fifth child took it over and took a closer look, feeling very annoyed, hesitating for a while without saying a word.

After a lot of bargaining, the deal was finally concluded with all the cash held by the bald man and his companions, totaling as much as 22 yuan, plus two watches.

The bald man and his companions concealed their excitement, rushed out with their things, and went to prepare the car first. The burden man said: "You go first, I will come over later, so as not to attract attention." It's better for the man to leave. He restrained his inner excitement and left contentedly.

The burden man asked Lao Wu to lock the courtyard door again, opened his backpack, and carefully poured out a few things tightly wrapped in newspapers in the bag, which turned out to be a few antique-looking objects.

"Uncle, have you restocked?" Lao Wu asked with a simple smile.

These goods are antique handicrafts bought by Baonan at the handicraft market at prices ranging from tens to hundreds of yuan.

"Old Five, you go there again tomorrow night, find another ancient tomb that has been stolen and dug, and bury these treasures in it. It's hard to say when we will be able to open again. Who knows?"

The two laughed heartily.

The burden man said: "These people are really stupid! You can believe it if you make up a story. Among other things, if there are really antiques here, there are so many people in the world who are doing this business, how can they just kill two people?" I can't stand it!"

"Uncle, it's not because you made up a good story that you stunned them all." Lao Wu said flatteringly.

"That's not true. The main reason is that I deliberately sold two real guys to them at a low price. This is called "sprinkling fish nests". Let them taste the sweetness first. The rest will be easier."

"Uncle, I still don't understand, why do they always follow you into the mountains as if they were possessed by a demon?"

"Hehehe, this is called 'people tell people to keep silent, and goods come as soon as they are asked'. Yeah."

"Uncle, where did you get those real guys from? Hey, it's amazing, there's no problem every time."

The burdened man was on the verge of talking, and suddenly thought, isn't it a little too much talking today?I endured it, and I didn't pick up this crop.These real guys are very simple to say. When he participated in those small auctions, others thought they were bad and had no potential for appreciation, so he bought them at a low price. Such small auctions are held every year in Taiming City. There are quite a few of them, as long as you want to buy them, don't just try to take advantage of the leaks, there are quite a few genuine ones, and, without exception, they also come with expert appraisal certificates.

And when it comes to "fishing" every time he throws fish nests, at first, he tries hard to get caught, obviously he has suffered a disadvantage, but he also pretends to take advantage of it, and then accept it when he sees it. Let them take the initiative to find me, and then I will appear in time at the last moment just right, leading the way along the way, and gradually leading them into my own ditch.

Of course, he couldn't tell the fifth child about this. What's the point of asking about this, kid?

He changed the topic and said: "Old man, hurry up, plant the 'landmine' first, and when to pick it up, listen to my call."

While talking, he shook the newspapers, shook them vigorously, picked out a few, and rewrapped the bundles of cash on the table with these newspapers, and put them into his backpack.He looked at the two watches on the table, one of which was Longines, and said with a smile: "This watch is not bad, and it is worth several thousand on the market. It's a pity, I can't take it, in case they find it on the way It’s over, it’s revealed.” As he spoke, he pushed two watches towards Lao Wu, counted out 5000 yuan from the cash scattered on the table, and handed it to Lao Wu, saying, “Old Wu, rent the yard. Has the money been paid off to others?"

"Uncle, I've already paid off."

"That's right, people should pay attention to credibility, do things, and don't make a one-shot deal, so that you can have fun in the future. From tomorrow when the 'thunder' is buried, within half a year, you don't show up again, go out to play. ,ah?"

"Yes, Uncle. It's just that if you have business again, you must remember to call me again."

"Of course." The burden man chuckled.

"Uncle, I still want to ask you a question?"

"Oh, you ask."

"Uncle, how do you always know that they will bring so much money into the mountain?"

The burden man laughed again, and said: "Think about it, every trip, just to pay me the toll, I have to pay three thousand or five thousand. If he has less capital, he will still make a lot of money. !"
