That year, we temporarily lived in an abandoned farmhouse warehouse at the foot of the southwest mountain in Xinduqiao Town. There were three abandoned warehouses there, and we broke the locks on them.
It is about 70 kilometers away from Kangding County, and the coordinates are close to 31 degrees north latitude.
Going out from the back door of the warehouse, you can see a sea of blue lavender flowers all over the ground. Due to the influence of the mountainous climate, the lavender here withers very late. Walking in the blue flower field is like being in a dream.
Xiaoxuan wore a lavender wreath on her head. She jumped ahead like a princess.
"Hurry up Yunfeng! Look! There's a strange scarecrow here!"
I went over and looked up.
It is a strange scarecrow, stuck on a wooden stick and swaying in the wind. The scarecrow wears a red apron, a torn shirt, and a rotten and black sheepskin hat on its head.
Xiaoxuan curled her hair and asked curiously, "Strange, you said no one lives here and there are no crops. Why do you want to set up a scarecrow here?"
I said, "I don't know. Maybe I'm afraid that the birds will destroy the lavender. It's used to scare the birds. Damn, this thing looks a bit creepy."
Xiaoxuan felt bored and continued walking forward.
Just as I walked over, a slightly stronger wind blew over me, and I turned around sharply! I found that the scarecrow, which had its back to me, had been turned around by the wind. The thing had its head drooped, as if it was looking at me curiously.
Feeling uncomfortable, I walked over and cursed a few times, took out my lighter and prepared to light it.
Just as I started the fire, I suddenly heard Dou Sprout calling me loudly in the distance, "Fengzi! I'm looking for you. There's something urgent! Come here quickly!"
I told Xiaoxuan not to run too far, and ran back to the warehouse.
"What do you want me to do?"
"Yunfeng is here, look," he pointed at the two bulging backpacks on the ground.
These two backpacks contained various cultural relics that we had accumulated over the past six months of hard work. Some of them we didn’t have time to get out, some of them we didn’t find a suitable sponsor, and some of them were given inappropriate prices.
I know what's inside without opening it.
There is a jade with a mouth that was taken out from the mouth of an ancient corpse, and there is a golden barrel bead necklace from the Xinmang period. Chain, gilt Buddha, green glazed pottery bird, a pack of arrowheads with inscriptions, a bronze sword with willow leaves, a bronze sword with concentric circles, several Western Han Dynasty Hotan jade sword frames, and bamboo slips with characters dug from Mang Mountain.
There is a lot of Xixia mud, a bunch of messy sapphire rings, white jade walls and so on.
Nowadays, these things may be collectibles in the eyes of players, but we really didn't value it at that time. At that time, the price of a bronze willow leaf sword in good condition and not bad from the Western Han Dynasty was only 5,000 yuan. It was ordinary.
The Shengkeng Warring States Bronze Sword costs 800 yuan a piece.
As for the bronze arrowheads, they cost 10 yuan each. If these arrowheads didn't have inscriptions on them, I wouldn't have bent down to pick them up if they were thrown on the ground.
But mosquitoes are also meat when they are small, and they can be sold for a lot of money if they are in large numbers. What they expressed to me is, "The situation is unclear now, and we will change places at any time. I have considered that these things are in the way, so I should put them away."
Everything can be exchanged for cash, even if the price is lower, it is acceptable.”
I agree. We have saved so many things unknowingly, and we have sold all the valuable ones. We should sell these to reduce our burden and replace them with money.
The leader said in a deep voice, "We have to make two preparations. If the 50% discount fails to come, the money exchanged for this batch of goods will be given to the Changchun Association on behalf of A Chun. A Chun encountered trouble in helping me. As the leader, I can't
Let Wen Bin invest all the savings he has worked hard to save in the past two years."
I nodded, "Yes, we'll share the money we make, and we'll handle it together if something goes wrong! That's what we should do! But boss, have you contacted the sponsor? Who wants these things from us?"
The one I think is most likely to be an out-of-town cultural relic dealer, someone like Liu Yuanning and Lin Xia.
Unexpectedly, Tou Tou made a shocking statement: "If you cut it off, don't let it mess you up. We are going to get the money today, so what I want to do is return the goods to others."
"Return goods?"
I didn't expect this.
The so-called return of goods means selling the goods to peers, with at least half of the profit going out!
Because they are insiders, sellers basically cannot take advantage of them. Those who return a large number of goods in the circle are usually who they are.
If you are wanted, you have to run away, or Jinpen quits his job.
The leader said, "I just called Mr. Jiao. He introduced a local man with cash. Yunfeng, you bring something over here at 10:30 tonight. This colleague is suspicious. The meeting place is in a coal truck."
on the train.”
I asked for specific details again, but shook my head and couldn't tell. Someone would remind me when I got there in the evening.
Come out and go to another abandoned warehouse.
"Brother Yu, give up your head!"
When I opened the door and walked in, I saw something I shouldn't have seen.
Brother Yu hugged Ah Chun, and Ah Chun put her arms around Brother Yu's neck and hung on him. The two of them were leaning against the window and spitting on each other.
"Ahem, I'm sorry, I forgot to knock on the door!" After saying that, I exited and closed the door.
Two minutes later, Brother Yu opened the door and ran out, hurriedly explaining, "Yunfeng, don't make random guesses, I was practicing just now!"
I said, Brother Yu, what kind of exercises do you practice? How about picking people up and pushing them against the wall to make friends?
Brother Yu was immediately blushed by me, but Ah Chun walked out of the warehouse. She was generous and said with a half-smile on her face, "Isn't it normal for a couple to kiss each other? Have you never had this experience?"
My face darkened, and I turned around and left.
Walking side by side with Brother Yu, I told him about the sales he was going to do tonight.
"Do you need me to go with you?"
"No, the middleman for returning the goods this time is Master Jiao, so there shouldn't be any problems. Brother Yu, please stay with Sister Chun. I'm afraid she may have a mental problem."
"What's the meaning?"
I looked back and saw that no one was following me, and said in a low voice, "This matter is something we and I can discuss privately. With her face like that, she must be under pressure. When the pressure is too great, it is easy to have a nervous breakdown, so Brother Yu, you need to be more careful."
Make time to spend time with her."
Brother Yu nodded and said that was the reason.
"By the way, Yunfeng, I was suddenly inspired by this thing in the past two days, and I have some insights into the way to exert force in punches."
Brother Yu took out a green patinated copper coin with a diameter of three and a half centimeters from his pocket and showed it to me.
This is a Chongning from Song Huizong in the Song Dynasty The four characters "Tongbao Qian" and "Chongning Tongbao" are read up, down, right and left. The characters are sharp and the iron is painted with silver hooks.
"Yunfeng, look at the T character in the lower half of the character Ning. Does it look like a person punching hard? And then quickly turning a corner?"
I squinted at it for two minutes, looking confused.
"Brother Yu, this is an ordinary Chongning Tongbao. According to some previous editions of Laoquan Pu, this edition should be called Qiu Jin."
"Qiu Jin?"
"Energy"
Brother Yu lowered his head and fell into thinking.
He raised his head and frowned and asked me, "What does Qi Jin mean? What does it mean specifically?"
I scratched my head and said, "Brother Yu, I don't know calligraphy, but I think the meaning should be similar to dry, old, strong, and majestic."
After hearing what I said, Brother Yu frowned and punched the air lightly.
He slowly opened his palms, then shook his hands into a fist, and kept repeating this action.
"Brother Yu? What's wrong?"
"Oh, it's okay, let's go for a walk and eat."
At around nine o'clock in the evening, I took two packages and waited by the railway.
This is the only railway within dozens of kilometers. I asked around and found out that there is a coal truck passing through the Western Sichuan Line. It will stop here briefly at night. I don't know exactly what time it will arrive on time.
I sat on the bag and kept smoking and waiting.
I waited until about half-past eleven when a melodious whistle suddenly sounded in the distance. A train loaded with coal drove up, emitting black smoke. A locomotive dragged dozens of iron carriages.
The train braked, slowed down, and slowly came to a stop.
I held up the flashlight and shined it on the carriages. There was only coal and coal in the carriages, but no one was there.
"Where are the people?"
Just when I was wondering, a man wearing a hat suddenly walked towards me quickly. He bumped into me and stuffed something into my pocket.
It was a piece of chewing gum. After it was torn open, there was a line of small words written on the back of the wrapping paper.
"Car 22, I'll only wait for you for three minutes."
