Chapter 8 The starting point is of course Niuxin Mountain

In the hot pot restaurant in Dongsi, Xiao Ran ordered two tables, one large and one small. The buddies of Da Jinya sat at the big table, while he, Da Jinya, Hu Bayi, and Wang Kaixuan found a table close to each other.

A small secluded table in the corner.

Although it wasn't lunch time yet, it happened to be Sunday, and the hot pot restaurant was already bustling with people, and the copper pots were steaming one after another, so few people paid attention to them.

After the dishes were served, several people raised their glasses one after another, saying nothing more than thanking me and saying sorry to you. After three drinks, Xiao Ran and Da Jinya finished complimenting each other and talked with Hu and Wang.

After the glorious family history, the atmosphere at the table was already quite warm, like four half-brothers who had been separated for many years.

The topic naturally shifted to the plan of inversion that everyone was concerned about.

Hu Bayi did not refuse Erguotou this time. He got drunk and his heroic spirit as a soldier was ignited. He told Xiao Ran the familiar story of Kunlun Mountain's Naiqiong Shenbing again, and then detailed the knowledge about inverted fighting. He listened loudly.

Jinya was amazed and raised his glass repeatedly.

While Hu Bayi was telling the story, Fatty Wang also quietly briefly recounted the events at yesterday's dinner table to Xiao Ran. Because of his early interference yesterday, Hu Bayi didn't even mention drinking, and didn't even move his chopsticks. He listened with a cold face the whole time.

Da Jinya performed a stand-up comedy by himself, and the three of them broke up unhappy in the end.

At the end, Fatty Wang whispered quietly: "Master Xiao, that gold tooth was knocked from the Zongzi's mouth. You still know the Buddha's gold, but it disgusts me..."

"Master Hu, listening to your words is worth ten years of studying. A comprehensive talent like you is born to be a gold medalist. It would be a pity not to do this."

This time, Hu Bayi did not refuse directly. He drank the remaining half glass of liquor and remained silent.

Da Jinya might have thought that the weight was not enough, so he pulled Xiao Ran to his side again, and said to Hu and Wang: "I have been raking antiques in Panjiayuan for many years, and I have known Master Xiao for many years. If you two can't trust me, then there is Xiao.

Master, isn't it? From now on, if you two have good products, I will be responsible for contacting the buyers, and you can negotiate the price yourself. Master Xiao will control the market for you, so no one dares to lower the price too much. When the time comes, just give us a few points."

After Da Jinya finished speaking, he winked at Xiao Ran.

Xiao Ran smiled and said: "After what happened today, can Mr. Hu and Mr. Fat still not trust Mr. Jin? The main thing is that the two of them are different from us, a businessman with a smell of copper. They are both upright and serious people. But Hu

Master, let me tell you, in addition to living for yourself, you must also live for more people.

"Those emperors, generals, landowners and rich men oppressed the people when they were alive, and when they died, they took the people's wealth and anointment into their graves. They wanted to enjoy a happy life after death and have control over the next life. Can we agree to that? That must not be the case!"

"That's right! We're not fighting to get rich for ourselves!"

Da Jinya was obviously drunk, and he dared to say whatever he said. Although the people at the next table may not understand it, they still cast a positive look: There must be something wrong with this guy's brain...

Xiao Ran knew very well in his heart that Hu Bayi was just holding on and didn't want to agree immediately at the wine table. If he continued to persuade him, it would be pointless, so he changed the topic.

"When it comes to antique appraisal, Mr. Jin is one of the best in Panjiayuan. If you two have any treasures, you can ask Mr. Jin to give us a job now."

Now that everything was done, the fat man naturally took out the jade pendant and asked Big Gold Tooth to identify it.

The fat man was telling the origin of jade, while Xiao Ran listened carefully to the voice of the jade pendant: "Find Zagrama...return to Jingjue...save the queen...it's too late..."

The jade pendant repeated these few sentences, and Xiao Ran secretly asked Bai Jiuguo: "Xiaojiu, isn't this a divine weapon? Why can it only say these few sentences?"

Bai Jiugao said: "God... divine weapon and divine weapon... are also different. And it... it lost its mind and went crazy... Hier..."

Bai Jiukuo actually had a big tongue and was burping with wine. It seemed that he was drunk by Xiao Ran's few glasses of wine.

No wonder I suddenly felt that I was a good drinker. I drank several taels of Guotou but felt nothing. I thought it had the effect of cleansing the marrow and loosening the bones, but I didn’t expect it to make me angry.

On the Big Gold Tooth side, there was no identification result, but the fat man was told to keep it away and not sell it, so the topic returned to persuading Hu Bayi, and also hinted that Xiao Ran would persuade him as well.

Xiao Ran saw that the time was almost up, so he said: "If we do this, fighting is a risky thing. Jin Ye and I can't just encourage the two of us to take risks, we will wait for our share. Otherwise, hereby

If Mr. Hu decides to fight, then we will go together and we will gain wealth and suffer hardships together!"

"Ah...this...this..."

Da Jinya didn't expect Xiao Ran to suggest this, and was speechless for a moment.

Xiao Ran secretly laughed and patted the big gold tooth: "Okay, that's all for this topic. Give Mr. Hu some time. Mr. Jin, what are the tips for appraising antiques? Please tell me..."

After changing cups and changing cups, several people drank until four o'clock in the afternoon. Bei Jiuguo was completely drunk, so Xiao Ran had to contribute the remaining amount of wine himself, and he drank until his face turned red.

Dajinya used his last resort and stuffed the gold-touching talisman that he had not given away yesterday into the hands of Hu and Wang, and they returned home happily.

Xiao Ran slept until dawn the next day. He didn't have to practice any exercises that night and no one was quarreling. He only had his brain pounding from the torture of alcohol.

He washed himself and dressed neatly. When he arrived at the front hall, he was pleasantly surprised to see Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang waiting for him.

The two of them were pointing at the products on his shelves, using the knowledge about treasure appraisal and fur that Da Jinya had talked about yesterday to discuss the authenticity of these things.

"You two gentlemen, those who show their face are all good, but the best ones are underground. What's the matter? Have you decided?" Xiao Ran said warmly.

"We have decided to fight against the feudal ruling class and fuck them!"

From the first time they met, Hu Bayi was rarely so sunny.

"Then let's go find Master Jin?" Xiao Ran asked.

"Hey, don't mention it. Lao Hu and I went separate ways. Lao Hu went to find the big gold tooth first. Ya said he drank too much yesterday and caught a cold, so he didn't go this time. He even gave 100 yuan as a sponsorship.

"The fat man said.

Sure enough! Xiao Ran knew that yesterday's sudden suggestion to pull Da Jinya to fight together was to put him on the fire, and he was absolutely unwilling to take such an unknown risk.

And it was a matter of course for him to join the gold-finding captain team. Finally, everything was going according to Xiao Ran's plan.

"Okay, Master Jin can't go, so I'll accompany you two on this trip. I wonder if Master Hu has any plans?"

"The fat man and I made a calculation and found that the areas where large tombs are concentrated are not easy to operate, and they have either been completely stolen or have been excavated for protection.

"What is worth visiting now are the undiscovered ones in the deep mountains and old forests. The first choice is Niuxin Mountain near the point where we joined the educated youth team. From my judgment, there should be a large tomb from before the Northern Song Dynasty there."

That's right, the first plan must be Niuxin Mountain! Although, this plan probably won't work...

But at least after a lot of hard work, the plot line was finally rescued.

Xiao Ran was in high spirits at the happy event. He immediately went back to the house and counted out four thousand yuan, then returned to the reception room and handed it to the two of them.

"This amount of money counts as my sponsorship this time. I don't know anything else. If you two think you need to buy something, just buy it. If it's not enough, just ask."

When Hu Bayi and Fatty saw this, they refused to accept it. Xiao Ran offered money and people, and they both felt sorry.

After negotiating for a long time, the fat man was about to forcefully sell his jade to Xiao Ran. Xiao Ran had no choice but to agree to buy Hu Bayi's limited edition Yingge brand mechanical watch.

Considering that this watch was really rare on the market, Hu Bayi reluctantly accepted it.

Next, the three of them split up.

Lao Hu went to the flea market to buy the necessary tools, Fatty went back to pack the tapes for sale, checked out the tricycle, and Xiao Ran was responsible for buying train tickets.

Although he was fully capable of getting a car and driving all the way there by himself. But after learning from past mistakes, he felt that it was not a last resort and he would just follow the plot honestly.

When the three of them met again at Baorongzhai, Hu Bayi and Fatty insisted on returning the unused one thousand yuan to Xiao Ran.

Xiao Ran couldn't shirk it, and said: "You two haven't been back for more than ten years, why don't you bring something to the villagers? Let's use the money to buy more gifts and exchange for some food stamps and so on. If there is still some surplus,

Let’s save food and drink on the way, so that the poor family will be rich!”

It was supposed to be something they both had to worry about, but now that Xiao Ran took the initiative, it naturally gained a lot of goodwill.

Xiao Ran bought the train ticket at three o'clock in the afternoon. Xiao Ran gave Liu Shengli some instructions, and after careful consideration, he simply packed the yin-yang mirror, the Yin-Yang Mirror, and the Guan Shan Dao into his luggage, and hurried to catch the train.

During the two days and nights on the train, Hu Bayi and Fatty told Xiao Ran many old stories about Ganggang Yingzi.

The kind old party secretary, the pungent Yanzi, the simple mountain people, and several other educated youths who jumped in the queue, etc., as well as the wonderful stories of how they used to hunt tigers and bears.

The train arrived at the station, and after riding on the tractor for another day, Xiao Ran simply spent some money to sell a donkey cart to haul goods, considering that he had to carry heavy loads on the mountain road behind. According to the seller, the black donkey was bought from Ganggang Yingzi.

They say an old horse knows the way, and an old donkey shouldn't be too far behind, right?

The fat man volunteered to drive, and the three of them pulled the car and set off on the road.

The mountain road was bumpy and bumpy, but the swaying had a hypnotic effect. Xiao Ran and Hu Bayi who were sitting in the car slowly fell asleep.

I don't know how long it took, but Xiao Ran suddenly smelled a foul smell, which woke him up from his sleep. He found that he was already in the night, and there was a light white mist surrounding him.

Hu Bayi also woke up and saw darkness all around him. He woke up the fat man who was snoring in front of him: "Where did you drive the car to?"

The fat man was sleepy and dumbfounded when he looked at the misty night in front of him.

Two faint red lights suddenly lit up in front of them, gradually approaching like ghosts, and the hearts of the three of them were in their throats.

"Xiaojiu! Xiaojiu!"

Xiao Ran secretly cried out to Bai Jiuguo, but this guy had been sleeping since he drank too much yesterday, and even the Yin Yang Mirror made no sound at this time.

As for Guanshan Dao, it is better to keep its mouth closed.

As the red light got closer, I could vaguely see that they were two beating torches, and the fat man in front shouted excitedly: "Old Hu, it's Yanzi! And the old party secretary!"

"Beard! Fatty! Why did you two come back?"

Swallow flew over with a happy face, still so young, with the simple beauty unique to mountain girls.

"You two brats, do you know you're back? Tianjing is trying to fix things for me every day, and you're even leading Xiao Feng around!"

The old branch secretary cursed, but with a smile on his face, he said to Xiao Ran: "Jianshe, thank you for bringing Xiao Hu and Xiaopang back. We would have made a big mistake if we lost the educated youth!"

Looking at the smiling eyes of the old party secretary, Feng Jianshe was stunned for a moment, and then a warmth suddenly felt in his heart. He remembered the days when he and Hu Bayi Wang triumphantly jumped in the queue, and said firmly: "I promise the great leader that we will resolutely implement the integration with the poor and lower-middle peasants."

Never be left behind on our path!”

"well!"
