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 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, was 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 because 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 contain all kinds of cultural relics that we have 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 mouthful of jade taken out from the mouth of an ancient corpse, a gold barrel bead necklace from the Xinmang period, a gilt Buddha, a green glazed pottery bird, a pack of arrowheads with inscriptions, a willow leaf bronze sword, and a concentric bronze sword.
Swords, several Western Han Dynasty Hetian jade sword frames, bamboo slips with characters excavated from Mang Mountain, 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 still 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 we should put them away."
All these things 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.
He raised his head and 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 has encountered trouble in helping me. As the leader, I will not
Maybe Wen Bin can invest all his hard-earned savings in the past two years."
I nodded: "Yes, we will share the money we make together, and we will 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 is to 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. Those who return a large number of goods in the circle are usually those who are wanted and want to run away, or Jinpen has given up his job.
The leader said: "I just called Mr. Jiao. He introduced a local native with cash. Yunfeng, you bring something over here at 10:30 tonight. This colleague is suspicious and the meeting place is in a truck."
On the coal 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.
