"Xiaoxiao, you sit in the front and Brother Gang sits in the back."
Before getting in the car, Su Xiaofan rearranged the seats. He was worried that his little sister would be squeezed into the back seat alone with two men.
As if they had not fully recovered from the shock of the ghost hitting the wall, Wu Chuanbao and Wu Chuanpeng remained silent after getting in the car, their bodies were trembling faintly, and their faces were both a little blue.
"It's strange. It's not rainy, so there's fog in many places."
On the way to the town, Su Xiaofan saw fog rising in many fields, and the fog lingered on.
"That...that's ghost mist!"
Hearing Su Xiaofan's words, Wu Chuanbao in the back seat couldn't help but shudder, and his body was shaking even more violently.
"There's no such thing as ghost fog."
Su Xiaofan curled his lips and said: "The countryside is open and the water vapor condenses together at night. Brother... don't scare yourself in the middle of the night."
"It's really ghostly fog. Lao Wu and I have been trapped there for four or five hours."
Wu Chuanbao said with a mournful face that he had been in the business of fighting for more than 20 years. Although he was later responsible for selling stolen goods, in the earliest days, Wu Chuanbao also went down to tombs and pulled the clothes off dead people. He was not courageous.
Small, but this time it really scared him.
"By the way, what's going on with you? What are you doing here? Brother Gang, get them a bottle of water..."
Su Xiaofan did not argue with the other party. This matter was in accordance with the old saying, whether you believe it or not, you have nothing. The two brothers were so frightened that they would not believe anything they said.
"Thank you... thank you." The two brothers seemed to be very thirsty. They took the water Zheng Dagang handed over and drank it. Wu Chuanpeng was choked and coughed for a long time.
"Actually, we are all traveling together. We came to various villages to collect some antiques."
After drinking a bottle of water, the expressions of Wu Chuanbao and Wu Chuanbao softened, and at the same time they made up identities for their brothers.
"Haha, I really didn't notice it. Good colleagues, good colleagues. Keep talking."
Zheng Dagang smiled when he heard this. He and Su Xiaofan had already known who these two brothers were, but there was a way for snakes and rats, and it was just as long as they were not conspiring against each other. There was no need to expose them.
"You Sujiacun doesn't welcome antique dealers like us, so we went to Zhoujiazhuang..." Wu Chuanbao started talking.
It turned out that after leaving Sujia Village at noon, Wu Chuanbao and his two brothers wandered around to other villages. They said they were collecting antiques, but in fact they were exploring the road to see which village had few people and sparse land nearby, so that they could start robbing tombs in the future.
In the evening, the two brothers were tired and tired, so they bought some cooked food at the nearby Zhoujiacun small supermarket, and each drank two bottles of beer.
I didn't drink too much. When I left Zhoujiacun, it was not completely dark yet. According to Wu Chuanbao's estimation, he would be able to stay in the town at seven or eight in the evening.
But what they didn't expect was that they were trapped in the threshing floor not even two miles away from Zhoujia Village.
When they saw the fog, they didn't pay much attention. Fog is normal in the countryside. When they came into contact with the fog, they only felt a little cold and thought it was because the temperature had cooled down at night.
Wu Chuanbao couldn't explain what he felt. When he first walked into the mist, neither he nor Wu Chuanpeng noticed anything was wrong. They always thought he was walking normally.
But as time passed, the two realized that something was wrong. From Zhoujiacun to the town, it took them at most thirty or forty minutes to walk, but they walked for three or four hours and still hadn't arrived yet.
By that time, the two of them were already a little unconscious. They were desperately thinking about walking out, but they became more and more panicked. Even though they were exhausted from walking, the two of them were still spinning in circles.
The two brothers also knew that they had encountered a ghost knocking on the wall. As the saying goes, if you don't do anything bad, you are not afraid of a ghost knocking on the door. If it were an ordinary person, it might be better.
But they didn't know how many tombs they had robbed and how many evil things they had done, so they became more and more frightened.
If they hadn't met Su Xiaofan and the others, these two people might have been able to wait until dawn, and even if they didn't die, it would have killed them half.
"You two, what do you mean by keeping looking for me?"
After listening to the explanations of the two people, Su Xiaofan spoke. This time they saw Su Xiaoxiao, which made Su Xiaofan feel a little wary. He knew that there was no lower limit for what these people did. If this matter was not solved,
I don’t know what trouble I will have in the future.
"One of us is willing to buy that thing and the other is willing to sell it. I am lying to you. If it is really a bronze ware from the Han Dynasty, it will only sell for 8,000 yuan?" Su Xiaofan thought it was about the bronze ware, which made Wu Chuanbao feel unhappy before he came.
You are causing trouble for yourself.
"It has nothing to do with the eight thousand yuan. Even if it does, it's all your fault today and it's over now..."
Wu Chuanbao sighed and said: "That's right, I have an old customer who wants the authentic Hoopoe bronze. I thought that since you can make a fake, you must have made it based on the authentic one, so I want to find it.
Do you want to ask if the genuine product is for sale?”
Wu Chuanbao was extraordinarily thoughtful. He didn't ask Su Xiaofan if he had the genuine article, but directly asked if he could sell it.
Because if he asked Su Xiaofan if he had a genuine product and the other party didn't want to sell it, he would just say no, which would make it difficult for him to make a judgment.
But when directly asked if the item is for sale, if Su Xiaofan has a genuine item, he will usually answer subconsciously that he will not sell it. This will ensure that the item is in Su Xiaofan's hands, and Wu Chuanbao can find other ways to get it.
"Brother, I really don't have the authenticity of that thing."
Su Xiaofan didn't think so much, and said with a wry smile: "I found the museum's internal illustrated book from the village and made it based on the illustrated book. This thing was unearthed more than 20 years ago and has been sent to the museum a long time ago. You let me
Where can I find the real thing for you?”
Su Xiaofan was telling the truth. A group of tombs had been unearthed near Sujia Village in the early years. As an expert in imitating bronzes and having some knowledge of cultural relics, Grandpa Liu was recruited into the archaeological team and led a group of villagers to help the archaeological team excavate.
Tomb group.
Unearthed cultural relics must be numbered, and they must be numbered in great detail. Even a nail must be recorded. At that time, the excavation, arrangement and recording of bronzes were left to the Sixth Master of the Su family.
At that time, people still took pictures with film. Out of his love for bronzes, Mr. Liu bought film at his own expense and borrowed the camera of the archaeological team to take pictures of hundreds of bronzes unearthed at that time.
According to archaeological regulations, these photos are not allowed to be kept privately. Even if Mr. Liu took them at his own expense, the photos and negatives must be handed over.
The head of the archaeological team at that time was also a professor of archeology at Yenching University. He had a good personal relationship with Mr. Liu. He knew that Mr. Liu wanted to imitate these bronzes and needed photos for reference, so he thought of a way.
The professor made a report to the higher authorities, saying that this archaeological event was of great significance, and he wanted to compile an illustration of the bronzes and unearthed cultural relics based on the on-site photos, so as to retain first-hand information for reference by subsequent scientific researchers.
Professor Yanjing's report was reasonable and reasonable, and the superiors quickly approved it, and an illustrated book for internal reference was produced.
As a member of the archaeological team, Mr. Liu was naturally qualified to obtain an internal reference illustrated book. This illustrated book was left in Sujiacun. The professor also gave Mr. Liu a lot of ancient recipes and technical information on firing bronzes.
It was precisely because of this illustrated book and those materials that Sujiacun's bronze ware imitation technology advanced by leaps and bounds, and Sujia Village became known as the No. 1 bronze ware village.
"So that's it..."
After listening to Su Xiaofan's explanation, Wu Chuanbao was a little dumbfounded. It seemed that they would not be able to earn the one million from Xiangjiang.
If the thing was in Su Xiaofan's hands or in Sujia Village, he could still come up with some crooked ideas to get it, but if it was placed in a national museum, then he would have no choice but to give up on this idea.
"Although I made that thing myself, the craftsmanship is worth thousands of dollars. You won't lose money by buying it."
Su Xiaofan really wanted to resolve this matter, but because these people were worried about it, something would happen sooner or later. "If you don't want it, just take it back, and I'll refund you the eight thousand yuan."
"Forget it, you saved our two brothers today, so this matter is even."
Wu Chuanbao shook his head, raised his eyes and looked out the window, and said: "The town is here, let us down."
"Okay, see you later." Su Xiaofan parked the car on the side of the road. When he saw Wu Chuanbao getting out of the car, his body was still trembling, and his heart suddenly moved.
"Hey, wait."
Su Xiaofan pushed open the car door and called out to Wu Chuanbao.
"I see you two have dark circles under your eyes and a blue complexion. This is a sign of being possessed by evil spirits here..."
Su Xiaofan paused for a moment, pointed at Wu Chuanpeng, lowered his voice a little, and said: "When I took you out of the mist of Gui Daqiang just now, I found that all the mist was sucked into the body by this big brother.
I'm afraid something will happen to you again."
"What?" After hearing Su Xiaofan's words, Wu Chuanpeng's originally green face suddenly turned pale. This was because he was frightened by Su Xiaofan.
"Lao Wu, do you have anything with you?" Wu Chuanbao frowned.
"No!"
Wu Chuanpeng almost cried when he suddenly thought of something. He took out a black thumb-sized stone from his pocket and said, "Second brother, this is something I got from below last time. It's been hot these days."
, I felt it was quite cool when I held it, so I took it with me."
"You bastard, you can take whatever you want with you?"
Wu Chuanbao was almost mad at his fifth brother, so he hit Wu Chuanbao on the hand and knocked the stone away.
Everything taken from the ground must be handed over to Wu Chuanbao, so Wu Chuanbao knew that the tentacles of this stone would feel a bit cold.
After it was picked up, some experts would be asked to identify it. When they saw this small stone, the expert said that it was just an ordinary black stone, not even jade, but that the texture was a bit cool.
At that time, Wu Chuanbao brought the stone and some other cultural relics back. When he was sorting them at home, he threw the stone in the house. Unexpectedly, Wu Chuanpeng took it with him.
"Some things can kill people, okay, let's go first..."
Su Xiaofan said casually, glanced at the roadside seemingly casually, said hello to Wu Chuanbao, opened the door and got in the car.
Su Xiaofan was not driving very fast. He kept observing Wu Chuanbao and the two from the rearview mirror until they disappeared around a corner. Su Xiaofan suddenly stepped on the brakes.
