In the afternoon, I put flowers in the old lady’s head and I listened.
The boss said this: "Sister, don't worry, you don't have to worry about this anymore, I will help you solve it."
The old lady seemed touched and said, "I believe you can."
I quietly asked the boss: "Then do we still need money? 600,000 yuan for burial expenses?"
He raised his head and frowned and said: "That's still necessary, one code is the same, these are two different things."
After we left Shanngling Village, we went directly to a place called Yanxia Village 40 kilometers away. This place was very remote and wasted time. ??
"Is this here?"
"Is there anyone living here? Why is it so dark and no lights are on?"
He glanced at his phone and confirmed, "The address given by Mr. Li should be correct. Che Baohua is much older than me. I heard that he has been ill and bedridden for a long time. His adopted son has been taking care of me in the past few years.
"
In front of us was a dilapidated rural courtyard. It was unlocked. After knocking a few times and no one responded, we went straight in.
"You damn old man! Open your mouth and eat! Damn it!"
"Eat it or not! If not, I'll take it and feed it to the dog!"
In the room, an old man was sitting on the bed, and a middle-aged man about 50 years old was feeding him food from a bowl. The old man had a dirty rag on his chest and a few grains of yellow millet stuck to his chin.
"What?
"You still want to eat vegetables? Why don't you eat chicken feathers? You are about to die and why don't you tell me where the golden seal is hidden? You are going to put it in the fucking coffin."
"cough!"
He put his head in the doorway and coughed.
"Who are you two? Who are you looking for?"
I said, "I came to see Che Baohua to ask something."
"Fuck," the man cursed, put the bowl aside, stood up and said, "Don't worry about finding my adoptive father. You are also here to inquire about the gold seal, right?"
We didn't talk.
He smiled and stretched out his hand: "Old rules, give me 50 yuan, and you can ask whatever you want within half an hour. Just don't hit the old man."
He winked with his head.
I didn’t have 50, so I gave him 100 yuan and said there was no need to look for it.
"Hey, this can't be fake money, can it?" He rubbed his fingers for a long time and said, "You can chat whatever you want, I'll wait at the door."
In this case he This is not the first time we have met. Ever since Boss Hu and Tu Mouzi were imprisoned, many people have come here, hoping to find out from Che Baohua the whereabouts of Queen Tianyuan's golden seal.
So far, I haven't heard of anyone succeeding. As time goes by, more and more people say that Che Baohua didn't hide the gold seal at all back then. It's all rumors.
After closing the door and turning on the light in the room, I stood, moved my head to a mat, and sat in front of the bed.
Che Baohua is 94 years old this year. He has lived for almost a century. He is two years younger than the old scholar I know. His face is wrinkled and his arms and legs are as thin as twigs. I dare not touch them for fear of accidentally touching them.
He suffered a broken bone.
"Hey." He sighed with his head.
"Brother Che, you should know me, right? I am Wang Xiansheng, and I am the disciple of Wang Pingling of the Northern School."
Che Baohua seemed not to have heard, and remained sitting on the edge of the bed without moving, with leftovers at the corners of his mouth and dull eyes.
It's like Alzheimer's disease. I can't tell if it's just an act or if it's true.
He gave me another look with his head.
I quietly walked to the door and took a look outside. The middle-aged man was some distance away and smoking.
I turned my head to show that no one was listening.
He looked at Che Baohua on the bed again and said: "Times have changed, and time is not forgiving. Brother Che, back then you were also the greatest tomb robber second only to the Huiguan level. I respect you seniors very much."
After saying that, he walked over and slapped him without any warning!
The next second.
Che Baohua stood up and said loudly: "Boy! There is something wrong with you! Why are you hitting me!"
I was stunned.
This speed of standing up! This loud voice!
He also called a man in his seventies a boy! Is this the same person?
"Haha," Tou Tou said with a smile, "Just kidding, big brother, how about I ask you to call me back?"
"Stop talking nonsense, why are you looking for me? If you want to know where the golden seal is, I don't know, you can leave."
