Xiaoxuan was carrying her schoolbag backwards. She asked in confusion: "What are we doing with so much money?"
I explained: "This is just in case. If you encounter something good and don't have enough cash, you can only stare and pat your thighs. There are many people on the road, so you should keep the money."
Xiaoxuan immediately hugged her backpack tightly.
I drove to three bank counters in the morning before I took out the cash of more than 500,000 yuan. At that time, there was a very famous old Internet cafe in Wuan called Legend Internet Cafe. I remember it was not too far from Wu'an No. 10 Middle School. Legend Internet Cafe was diagonally opposite.
There was a fishing gear store, and I bought a set of fishing gear in the store. Then, we set off to Daming together with the buddy who called himself Li Yang last night.
"Li Yang" is a pseudonym. I also use a pseudonym. Everyone knows it well.
After one hour.
I saw the Jetta leading the way ahead of Li Yang suddenly stopped, and I stopped too.
"Why don't you leave?" I asked.
He looked around and said with an annoyed expression: "Hey, I seem to have taken the wrong road! I remember this road seems to lead to Linzhang! It's not going to Daming!"
I said speechlessly: "Then you still said that you are very familiar with the road? And you asked me to follow you."
He chuckled and said, "I've been here once five or six years ago. It's normal to remember the wrong way, but it doesn't matter! I remembered how that road went. Let's turn around now and go up to the fork in the road.
"
We originally expected to arrive at Daimyo in the afternoon, but because we took a wrong route along the way, we arrived at around six o'clock in the evening. Then we headed straight to Yuecheng Reservoir without stopping.
When I arrived at the scene, I was stunned!
Why are so many people coming?
There were five or six off-road vehicles parked here, and at least a dozen people! Some even set up camping tents next to the embankment!
Basically, they are all middle-aged men in their forties or fifties. There are only two women. One is in her thirties, fat and average-looking, and the other is slightly younger and wearing a navy blue cheongsam. She has a nice and bumpy figure.
Very flavorful.
"Hey! Where did you come from?" A short-sighted man wearing thick glasses asked us.
Li Yang smiled and said: "I heard that there will be a meteor shower here in the reservoir these two days, and my mother is seriously ill and hospitalized. I came here to make a wish for my mother, hoping that her illness will get better soon."
Myopic eyes twitched the corners of his mouth, and said without saltiness: "Same, I came to see the night view."
At this time, an outspoken friend said directly: "Stop pretending, they are all here to receive goods and want to pick up the leaks, right?"
"No, no! Absolutely not."
Everyone said in unison that no.
I sneered in my heart, set up a horse trap directly on the edge of the reservoir, and then sat down to fish with my legs crossed.
Xiaoxuan reminded me in a low voice: "Yunfeng, you seem to have forgotten to install the fishhook."
I don't know how to fish at all. It doesn't matter if I install a fishhook or not. Fishing is just a way to hide my identity.
Just like Li Yang said he came to see the meteor shower, and my friend said he came to enjoy the night view of the reservoir, this is called the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, each showing his magical powers. > Daimyo is a small place, but Yuecheng Reservoir is not small. Especially in the dead of night when people are quiet, the sound of flood water flowing under the dam is loud and gurgling.
At around nine o'clock in the evening, Li Yang came over to talk to me while chewing instant noodles.
Seeing me fishing seriously, he smiled and said: "Brother Xiang, in ancient times, Jiang Taigong took the bait if he wanted to fish. You are more powerful than Jiang Taigong. You don't even have a hook."
I asked: "What did you find out? Share the information."
He pointed to the other side and said, "Did you see that red brick house with the lights on?"
I said I saw it, what happened?
He lowered his voice: "There are a few villagers who live in brick houses 24 hours a day and keep an eye on the reservoir. Whenever they see someone daring to enter the water, they will rush over and beat them."
My expression changed and I asked, "Is this the person assigned by the local archaeological team to look after you?"
Li Yang shook his head: "It must not be an archaeological team, but a spontaneous organization by a few villagers here in Daming. People have said that the reservoir was built with donations from their village, so the things in the water naturally belong to their village."
Xiaoxuan said displeased: "Such a big reservoir is not anyone's private property. Isn't this an act of bullying?"
Li Yang spread his hands and said: "Who says it's not the case! But you can't argue with others! Especially when money is involved, if we go into the water and touch things by ourselves, a beating will be light! If we don't keep it all, we will be thrown into the water to feed the fish."
"
I agree with what Li Yang said. Just like a strong dragon does not overwhelm a local snake, I ask what should be done next? Isn't it possible to just wait here?
Li Yang smiled and said: "Wait! Don't sleep! You will know in the middle of the night."
I waited until 1:30 at night, and suddenly, I saw three people coming out of the red brick house. Two of them were thin and wore transparent eye masks and high-brightness headlamps on their heads.
The two people climbed over the embankment, looked at each other and made a gesture, and then jumped into the reservoir with a thud.
There was one person left on the shore. This person waved his flashlight towards us. Immediately, our short-sighted guy also flashed his flashlight in response.
"The water was so deep, so the two of them just put on blindfolds and went down there?" I asked.
Li Yang said: "Wait, these two people are probably very good at water. I hope they can produce something tonight. I heard that they didn't produce much in the past few days."
I frowned when I heard this. I didn’t expect the situation to be like this before I came. There are more wolves and less meat. If something good comes out of the water, we people will have to fight for the head! The 500,000 yuan I brought is less.
.
I turned around and looked at those people. Except for the cheongsam girl, no one else blinked, as if they were afraid that they would miss something in the blink of an eye. Only the cheongsam girl with a good figure kept looking up at the stars in the sky.
, I don’t know what I’m thinking about.
"Hey! Where do these people come from? Do you know?" I asked Li Yang.
"I'm not too familiar." Li Yang took a puff of cigarette and said, "But I know that cheongsam
The girl is not easy to mess with, so let’s try not to mess with her.”
"Oh, do you have a background?"
"Yes! They say she is the biological sister of Laishui Jiuqingshui!"
Jiu Qing Shui I took a deep breath.
Xiaoxuan suddenly interjected: "I know about Jiu Qingshui. Didn't she go in two years ago?"
Li Yang said in surprise: "I didn't expect that this lady, who you know quite a lot, went in and was sentenced to thirteen years. I heard that she was caught in a trap two years ago in the desert."
"cough!"
I coughed deliberately to remind Li Yang to pay attention to his wording and don't call Xiaoxuan "Miss."
Xiaoxuan didn't say anything out loud, she just reminded me to be careful, the sister of a woman like Jiu Qingshui is definitely not a mediocre person.
"Come out! Come out!"
"Look! There seems to be something out of the water!"
There was a sudden exclamation over there, and I quickly turned on my flashlight and shined it on the water.
I saw that the two villagers who had entered the water just now had broken out of the water. They were holding something high in their hands and seemed very excited.
When people came ashore with their things, a swarm of people swarmed over from our side.
"Brother, something is out! Take it out and enjoy it!"
"That's it! Let's take a look!"
"Don't worry! As long as it's good stuff! We can give you a good price!"
The leader of the villagers was a bald young man with a dragon tattooed on his neck. He held a stick in his hand and looked like a gangster.
"What are you talking about! You're trying to attract haters in the middle of the night!"
He held a stick in his hand, pointed at our group and said: "I have the final say here! Line up one by one to come in and take a look! Then tell the price! The one with the highest price gets it! Let me emphasize, we only accept cash!"
"You! The first one! You! The second one."
Then a group of people lined up to enter the red brick house to see what had just come out of the water. Since Li Yang and I were the last to arrive, we were arranged to watch at the end.
Li Yang suddenly became unhappy. He complained to me: "If I had known this, I wouldn't have come. If this continues, it's just a matter of who has the most cash! It's weird to receive anything!"
I didn't reply to him. He's already here, so I might as well take a look at it before talking.
These people went in one by one and came out of the red brick house one by one. Compared with when they went in, they all looked excited when they came out. They all chose to call immediately. From that tone, they seemed to be asking people to send cash quickly.
come over.
I became more and more curious, what important cultural relics were uncovered? That could make these old fritters so excited.
Soon it was my turn. I told Xiaoxuan to keep an eye on my backpack, and then I entered the red brick house with excitement.
It didn't matter what I saw, it shocked me!
I never thought that this treasure could be found under the reservoir!
It's a jade pot spring vase, not porcelain, although there are serious rust marks on the surface , but I could tell at a glance that this jade pot spring was made of sterling silver. The most important thing! There were four official script characters engraved on the back of this silver bottle.
"Ci Shou Yong Ning."
I remember that there was a Yongning Palace in the Imperial Palace of the Northern Song Dynasty! Cishou Yongning, which means that this silver vase may have been bought by a certain imperial concubine at that time, or a noble concubine, or simply by a queen mother for her birthday!
I wanted to take a look at the details, but unexpectedly the bald guy refused to let me look. He took the bottle and said to me, "Have you seen enough? The people in front of me have already bid 70,000 yuan! How much can you give me?!"
"700,000?"
I frowned and thought: "If you can really buy it for 700,000 yuan, then this is a big leak! This thing is worth millions if it comes up for auction, but the problem is that the other party said they only accept cash, and I brought it with me before I came.
500000."
I immediately smiled and said: "Brother, you have to give me some time. I can give you 800,000, but I need a day to collect the money."
The bald man held a cigarette in his mouth and said with a smile: "It's a long night and many dreams. Who has time to wait for you? It's tonight! Whoever pays more will get this thing. If you don't have money! Then please go home or wait for the end."
Bar."
After I came out of the brick house, I was anxious. It was like a big piece of fat being fed to my mouth! I could eat it as long as I opened my mouth, but the problem now was that I didn't have the conditions to open my mouth.
They are all thousands of miles away in Hunan. I do know some friends in the Hebei area, but it's after two o'clock in the middle of the night. I can't have someone drive over and send me hundreds of thousands in cash, right?
Li Yang was the last one to go in and take a look. When he came out, he said gloomily: "Hey! Brother! It's over! I brought more than 300,000 in cash in the damn car! That bald man said that someone already gave him 700,000! Brother, how much did you bring?
?”
I had an idea and immediately said, "How about we join forces?"
"You mean we and I jointly bought that thing?"
I nodded: "You have more than thirty, and I have more than fifty. With our combined money, we can get the highest price."
He frowned and said, "Then if the things are sold afterwards, how will the money be divided?"
"Fifty-fifty, half and half." I said.
The expression on his face was a little hesitant, probably because he didn't trust me very much.
I immediately said: "Brother, go and ask about my Shenyanfeng on the road. I am a spitting person and I always keep my word. In the same way, I will definitely do what I promised others."
Li Yang took a deep breath, and then he seemed to have made up his mind, and then said: "Brother, although we have known each other for a short time, I feel that you are worth making friends, so I will trust you once and let's buy it together!"
"good!"
After receiving his money, I made a rough selection and immediately told the ruffian that I could give out 800,000 in cash. Aren't you afraid of long nights and dreams? Then trade now!
The ruffian nodded and was ready to take my money.
It was nothing, but an imperceptible smile suddenly appeared at the corner of his mouth.
I happened to see it and immediately grabbed the backpack containing the money.
