Chu Heng, who was still a little angry because he was woken up, immediately lost all his anger when he saw the mutton-fat white jade. He quickly sat up and took the jade pendant from Wan Xiaotian's hand and looked at it.
The jade pendant is as big as a child's hand, white and delicate, bright and warm, and carved with Kui dragon patterns.
"Good stuff! Looking at the Kui dragon pattern on this jade pendant, it should have come from the palace."
He couldn't put it down and played with it, with a look of obsession in his eyes.
Wan Xiaotian gave a thumbs up with a smile and said: "You are really discerning. Master Yan also said that it is an object from the palace, and it may even have been worn by some prince."
"It's almost the same." Chu Heng nodded, rubbed the jade pendant that seemed to be soaked in grease with his fingers, and then put his hand into his trouser pocket: "How much does it cost?"
"No, just take it." Wan Xiaotian smiled and waved his hand, saying proudly: "I got this thing in exchange for a popsicle."
"Psicles for it?" Chu Heng looked at him curiously and asked, "What happened?"
"Hey, this is quite interesting."
Wan Xiaotian bared his teeth and smiled, the old man crossed his legs, took out a cigarette and gave it to him, lit another one for himself, and said with excitement: "I went to see a buddy of mine this morning, and half
I wanted to buy a popsicle to eat on the way, and I saw a few children playing nearby. One of them had this thing in his hand. It looked like Hetian jade, so I spent 10 cents to buy a cream popsicle.
I coaxed it over, and later I went to see Mr. Yan to confirm that it was true."
"Did you get it from a child?" Chu Heng frowned after hearing this and asked: "Then did you ask him where this thing came from? If you got it from home, it would be unethical.
, I have to quickly give them some money to go back to."
"Hey, you are worrying too much. I asked you in advance." Wan Xiaotian, who knew his character, said quickly after hearing this: "This jade pendant was dug out when he was digging holes with others in the woods.
It looked good, so I just played with it, so he didn’t suffer any loss."
"Woods? Which woods?" Chu Heng's eyes lit up.
Judging from the clear color of the jade pendant with the Kui dragon pattern in his hand, it was obvious that it had not been buried for a long time. It was probably hidden somewhere recently by someone.
So, he wanted to go back and see if there was anything else in the woods.
"It's the small patch of poplar forest outside Deshengmen, where Li Xiaopao's grandson had a fight with someone last time." Wan Xiaotian looked at his expression and immediately guessed what he was thinking, and said with a smile: "What? Are you still here?
Do you want to go look for it? I advise you to save it, I have already visited that place and found nothing."
"You can see shit with just two eyes? Let's go over and take a look." Chu Heng hurriedly put on his shoes and went to the ground. He pulled him to leave without any explanation.
"Godfather!"
It happened that Hu Niu came in with a bird cage, and in the cage, a myna with a bunch of stupid hair on its head was jumping and flapping its wings.
“Godfather, change!
The greedy little guy ran up to him in a flash, raising his fair and pink face and blinking his dark eyes full of hope.
"Take it and eat it."
Chu Heng gave her a handful of candies and dragged Wan Xiaotian out of the house. When he walked out of the moon gate, he thought about it and took two more dogs with him, then picked up two shovels and hurried out.
We walked out of the courtyard and drove towards Deshengmen.
Banchang Hutong is not far from Deshengmen, less than ten minutes. The car came out of the city, then followed the main road through an urban-rural juncture, then turned into a branch road and drove for a while, and came to a lush green area.
Outside the poplar forest.
"It's right here, just walk about 200 meters further."
After getting out of the car, Wan Xiaotian carried two shovels and led Chu Heng, who was leading two dogs, into the forest. After a while, he came to a big tree that was as thick as two people hugging each other.
Wan Xiaotian pointed to a nearly fifty-centimeter-deep soil pit under the tree and said, "This is the pit. It wasn't that big at first. I dug deeper and found no hair except for the roots of the tree."
"superior!"
Chu Heng immediately led the dogs forward and gave them a try. After letting them smell the smell in the pit, he gave them the jade pendant to sniff.
"Whoop whoosh!"
After the black and white dogs sniffed the pit and the jade pendant for a few times respectively, he waved his hand and let the dogs go.
"Can this be done?"
Wan Xiaotian looked at the two dogs running around in the forest with some suspicion.
"If it works, let's give it a try. If it doesn't work, we'll just walk the dog." Chu Heng actually didn't hold out much hope. He shrugged and said to Wan Xiaotian, "Come on, let's go for a walk."
He put his hands behind his back, lowered his head, and carefully observed the unusual places on the ground.
Wan Xiaotian also followed suit, lowering his head and staring at his feet, but he had no idea what Chu Heng was looking at, and his eyes were a little blank.
This went on for a while.
Unexpectedly, they suddenly heard a series of barking dogs.
"Woof woof woof!"
"Um?"
When Chu Heng heard the sound, he went and saw Xiao Hei digging for something under a big tree.
"Walk!"
He quickly walked over, and when he arrived, Xiao Hei had already dug out a small cloth bag from under the tree.
"I really found something!"
Wan Xiaotian suddenly exclaimed.
Chu Heng was also inexplicably surprised. He quickly stepped forward to pick up the cloth bag and opened it. There was an emerald green jade ring wrapped inside.
"Haha, what a good dog!"
He put the jade ring in his pocket with a smile on his face, rubbed the dog's head vigorously, and encouraged him.
Xiao Hei suddenly became energetic, turned around and ran to other places to continue searching.
After almost twenty minutes like this, Xiao Hei found four more objects one after another, including two bracelets, a hosta, and a bead string.
They are all old items with good materials.
Xiaobai, on the other hand, had a crotch pull. He couldn't find it for a long time, and he didn't know if he didn't have the talent or something.
Soon, the two dogs searched in the woods for half an hour, but they found nothing.
When Chu Heng saw this, he thought there was nothing left, so he called the two dogs back, got out of the woods, and drove away.
…
It's past seven o'clock in the evening, and the temperature is still a bit muggy.
Under the hazy night, Chu Heng, who had gathered with Wan Xiaotian, Du San and others, drove back to Banchang Hutong.
After parking the car and entering the hospital, he went to the bathroom and took a shower. Then he didn't go to the main room to disturb Ni Yinghong and the others who were watching TV. He turned around and went back to the bedroom. He lay on the bed with the fan on and watched nothing.
Leisure books.
At around nine o'clock, the TV program ended.
Ni Yinghong walked into the house with a basin of foot-washing water, and placed her smile on Chu Heng's footsteps: "Come, I'll wash your feet."
"well."
Chu Heng didn't even raise his head and stuck his smelly feet into the basin as a matter of course.
Ni Yinghong stretched out her soft, boneless hands and gently rubbed his soles. She glanced at her husband with her dark and clear eyes, a hint of cunning flashed past, and then she whispered softly: "Chu Heng, you still remember
When we first got together? You said, as long as you have it, you can give it to me."
Chu Heng read the book intently and said casually: "It's necessary. We are a couple. Isn't it yours? Even if you want my life, I will give it to you!"
"What if it's a jade pendant made of mutton-fat white jade with a Kui dragon pattern?" Xiao Ni raised her head, her eyebrows were curved, a sweet smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, and the two pear dimples on her cheeks were deep and large.
The girl could no longer be satisfied with the walnuts, and had now started to sell jade. Chu Heng had several pieces that he particularly liked, and she would pull them away when he usually played with them.
"Um?"
Chu Heng suddenly raised his head and said with a grimace: "I said why did you suddenly wash my feet today? No, who did you listen to? You knew it when I got it?"
