Dou Sprout hurried back to the house and brought out a black plastic bag. He opened the bag and showed it to us.
"What is this? Scrap metal?" Xiaoxuan glanced at it and said.
"It's not scrap metal, it's the handle of a knife. Is this also picked up on the island?" I picked it up and looked at it and asked.
Douyazai smiled and said: "Yes, Fengzi, I found it not far from this iron pot. At first, I thought it was scrap metal! How about it, can I have good eyesight?"
Xiaoxuan said from the side: "You are really good at putting gold on your face. What does this have to do with your eyesight? Can you have Yunfeng's eyesight? I think even if it is a piece of scrap metal, you still have to pick it up and sell it for money. And this
It’s not like you found the pot, it was washed out of the soil last month when the water level rose, and we just happened to find it on the island.”
"Zhao Xuanxuan! I'm a good man who won't fight with women, and I won't be on the same level as you! Can you please stop trying to tear me down? Did I offend you somewhere, or have you entered menopause early!"
"You damn bean sprout boy, you're talking about something!"
"I just said what happened!"
"Okay, don't argue. We're not discussing business." Brother Yu advised.
He turned his head and looked at the thing Dou Yazai had picked up, and said in a deep voice: "Yu Yazai has done a good job. This is an iron straight knife from the Song Dynasty. Judging from the shape, it is probably a military sword. Yunfeng, what do you think?
"Baotou, I agree with your point of view. Although it is a broken piece, judging from the width and shape of the handle, this thing should be the predecessor of the Yanling Sword of the Southern Song Dynasty."
Fortunately, Bean Sprout has a straw for picking up rags. If it were me, I wouldn't even pick it up without looking at it.
"Head, we should take a shovel and go to the island to have a look. We don't have a clue yet, so we can't let go of any clues. Now that we have found a marching pot and a Song Dynasty saber, it is enough to prove that part of our speculations are correct."
Brother Yu said: "Why don't you go after lunch? I'll stew fish soup and feed the ducks and cats by the way."
"Huh? Brother Yu, I just realized after you said that, where are the duck and the black cat? I didn't see them."
Brother Yu said: "In the warehouse, they are locked up with our things. I help guard the door by the way. They haven't been let out since we moved here."
"Is that okay if the duck and cat guard the door?"
Brother Yu smiled and said: "Why not? It's better than dogs, but the cost of raising it is a bit high. Ducks need an average of four bottles of wine a month. They don't drink wine below 500 yuan. Xiaoxuan's cat only eats the freshest food."
Xiaoyu, Yunfeng, after dinner, come with me to the warehouse to have a look."
Dou Yazai immediately said: "Brother Yu, it is true that raising Echo Duck costs money, but it can earn us back! The small things it brings back can fill several drawers! Zhao Xuanxuan's cat is useless! Now the cat
No food to eat!
Just eat the freshest little yellow croaker! The key point is that you have a bad temper! Except for Brother Yu, you and Zhao Xuanxuan! You can't even touch the head! You can scratch whoever you touch! If you want me to see it, I might as well throw the cat to death or throw it away.
!Raising a burden!"
"You dare!"
Xiaoxuan kicked her eyes and said: "If you dare to touch my cat, I will dig out your eyeballs! Believe it or not!"
"Look Fengzi, I mentioned her pain point and she became anxious. Zhao Xuanxuan is now just like her cat, a tigress whose fur explodes at the slightest touch."
I was speechless: "What do you care about Xiaoxuan's cat? It didn't cost you a penny. Even if the cat is useless, Xiaoxuan has the final say. She said she would keep it, so you can't control it."
Dou Sprout curled his mouth and became silent.
But having said that, the black cat that grandma gave to Xiaoxuan before she died seemed to be of no use. She also said that it was the last secret secret five-black black cat of the Guanshan lineage, which could travel between the Yin and Yang realms. Anyway, so far, I have no idea.
Seeing it go through it, it is quite powerful when it scratches and bites people.
Maybe Xiaoxuan has developed feelings. As a girl, it's normal to like little pets. Let her play with her.
I didn’t drink fish soup at noon. It’s not because Brother Yu is not good at cooking. On the contrary, Brother Yu is very good at cooking. I didn’t drink it because I was still resistant to the fish from Qiandao Lake.
I cooked a bowl of instant noodles and ate it at the door while watching Xiaoxuan smash the bowl with a hammer.
She sat on the horse and smashed it, and then she seemed to be addicted to it. Every time she smashed out a different face, she would ask me what money it was, which dynasty it was from, and how much it was worth.
I would tell her as soon as I took a look at the instant noodles.
She suddenly laughed and said: "It's quite fun, Yunfeng, I heard that the Jingkang copper coins of the Song Dynasty are worth hundreds of thousands. Do you think I will suddenly smash one out?"
"You go ahead and smash it. If you can smash it out, I'll pay you back one million."
"Yunfeng, you said this! I'm telling you! Don't underestimate me! I'm very lucky! Don't wait for me to smash it and deny it!"
I smiled and said don't worry, I won't play around.
Jingkang coins are divided into three types: Yuanbao, Tongbao and Zhongbao. Most of the Yuanbao you can see on the market are two-shaped Yuanbao, which costs several thousand yuan. A Tongbao Zhongbao, which is folded into two, costs six figures starting. If it is a small flat shape, it costs more than one.
Millions are possible.
Xiaoxuan was obviously serious. Every time she smashed a lump, she would pick it up and look at it carefully before throwing it into the washbasin.
Nowadays, you use a carving knife to pry open a cone, but Xiaoxuan is not like this. She is very violent, throwing it on the ground and banging it with a hammer.
"Okay! Now that I'm full, I'll accompany Brother Yu to the warehouse! Just smash it slowly!"
Xiaoxuan looked up at me and said: "When you come back, I will break out the Jingkang copper coins! Don't default on one million!"
I smiled and didn't panic at all, she could smash it out and eat my shit.
It's not that she doesn't believe in her luck, it's that this iron pot won't produce Jingkang money at all, because it will only be in the early years of Dai Xuanhe at the latest, and the Jingkang era name was not yet available at that time, so there is a gap of time.
Our temporary warehouse used to be near the bus station. I met the shoeshine girl at the door before. Now we have moved it here. It is mainly used to store diving suit cylinders and some salvaged items.
As soon as I entered the warehouse, I saw Echo Duck and Black Cat.
The duck lay quietly in a large cardboard box like an old hen laying eggs, with a mattress inside. The black cat was locked in a cage, curled up listlessly, and there was a lot of duck feces on the top of the cage.
"Brother Yu, you feed the ducks, and I'll feed the cats."
"Be careful Yunfeng, don't get scratched."
"It's okay."
Taking the black plastic bag, I took out a small yellow croaker and dangled it at the mouth of the cage.
“Ughhhhhh!!”
"Want to eat? Call twice and listen."
"Meow...."
"Damn, you seem to understand human speech."
I threw the fish in through the cage, and the black cat ate it immediately.
"Does this cat have a name?"
Brother Yu said his name was Xiao Hei.
I smiled and said, "It's really dark, so black that it's shiny."
"I X!"
I reached out to touch its head, but the cat immediately stretched out its claws to scratch me. I was defensive and my reaction was quick enough, but I still got a bloody mark on the back of my hand!
I yelled and took the fish out immediately.
"Meow!"
"What's your name! Eat your ass! You are an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf! How dare you tickle me!"
"Yunfeng, I told you to be careful. This cat really recognizes people."
"It's against the sky!"
I found a wooden stick and poked it in through the cage.
This cat's fur instantly exploded! Its front paws were on the ground, its back was arched high, and it roared at me in a low voice.
For a moment, I suddenly saw the cat's eyes turn dark red, which shocked me.
At this time, Brother Yu came over and fed a fish, and the cat gradually became normal.
"Brother Yu, did you see it? The cat's eyes seemed to have turned red just now."
"You probably saw Yunfeng wrongly. That's reflection," Brother Yu said with a smile on his face.
