Back at the hotel in the city, I have been mainly busy with pottery figurines these past two days. I can't keep so many small pottery figurines piled up in the room. I get annoyed when I see them.
Xiaomi said Brother Feng, I am repairing some of them, and some of them can be sold for money.
I shook my head and said don't fix it, it's not enough time and money.
I left Chi Santong's number at Xiangong Ghost Market before, so I called her directly and packaged everything for her.
A pottery man with missing arms and legs, a broken white-glazed jade pot from Jiexiu kiln, and a few black-glazed coarse porcelain oil lamps from the Tang Dynasty. I didn't bother to bargain, so I packed them up and sold them for 30,000 yuan.
At this point, Lao Pi worked in fear for two nights. I counted the activity funds spent before and after.
Lost 80,000 yuan.
Everyone is following me, I am such a rubbish leader.
On the 20th, Xi'an reported a jewelry and jade exhibition. This exhibition was the predecessor of the later Xi'an International Jewelry Exhibition Conference. It was similar in nature to the Beijing Agricultural Exhibition Hall. It has been held for the tenth time in 2021.
, there are some very powerful jewelry companies, such as Xi'an Baoxie, Shenzhen Huacheng, Colorful Yunnan, Guangdong Gold and Silver, Datang West City Chamber of Commerce, etc.
A few of us went there, it was a large area, it was the first time we saw so many foreigners, and we also saw a lot of strange and strange gems from abroad.
Such as black opal, aquamarine, emerald, citrine, etc. There is one piece of jewelry that is very impressive. It is a large ring made of Paraiba blue tourmaline. It is as big as a small quail egg. When you look at the light, you can see the inside.
The discharged light was extremely pure, and the whole body was as blue as sea water, which was breathtaking. This thing was finally bought by a wealthy woman in Xi'an.
At that time, the organizer invited many hostesses wearing cheongsam and high-heeled shoes. They had great figures. They walked past in a row and stared at Bean Sprouts.
Later, Douyazai's hands were itchy, so he bought two pieces of jadeite, each costing several hundred yuan, but nothing came out. Xiaoxuan bought a pair of earrings, and Xiaomi bought a pair of bracelets.
The circle of this kind of thing may not be big, but it may be small.
I never expected to meet an acquaintance at the exhibition.
Zou Xiaotong.
Master Zou also recognized me.
"Why did you come to Xi'an?"
I said what a coincidence, Master Zou, I didn’t expect you to come to Xi’an too.
He smiled and said: "I came with a group. Such a big exhibition is not to be missed. I saw a lot of good things. I mainly want to walk around and see if I can find some good materials to make things."
When this topic was brought up, I asked in a low voice: "Master Zou, where is your Flame Mountain? Has it been sold? Why haven't I heard anything about it? How much did it sell for?"
"No way," he said with a smile: "Unless it's absolutely necessary, I won't sell that thing. I won't let my friends see it. When I die one day, it will be an heirloom and passed on to my son. My son is passing it on to me."
Give it to my grandson, and it will become an heirloom of the Zou family."
I said that's good.
"How about finding a place to gather together tonight?
"No, I'm leaving tonight. Wait until you come to Beijing some time. I'll treat you as a host then."
I nodded and said yes.
On the night after the exhibition ended, I received a strange phone call with the ending number 667.
"Hello, who's there?"
"It's me, I'm Jiang Yuan."
"Oh, I remembered, girl Zao Cake, why are you calling me?"
"Don't scream, you jujube girl," she paused, then lowered her voice on the phone and whispered: "Didn't you say before that you knew something about tomb robbing? I need money now, and I have a way. Can we cooperate?
Cooperation, after the fact nine points, I will give you one point."
"Ninety-one points? Do you think my head was kicked by a donkey?"
"That's it. Without me, you will never find the place."
I was speechless and immediately said: "The place you are talking about is not the sulfuric acid plant, is it?"
She was startled and said in surprise: How do you know! That is my ancestral tomb!
"Are you going to dig your ancestral grave? Are you sure?"
After hearing this, she hesitated and said: "I will just dig a little bit and not take more. I will wait until I have enough money. My ancestors will not blame me..."
This woman has really clear ideas, and I only found out about it later.
Jiang Yuan was a first-year graduate. After graduation, she went to a health school for two years. When she was in the health school, she had a boyfriend. This man's name was Xie Pengfei, who was in the first grade of Gaoxin School at the time.
Xie Pengfei is quite handsome, at least more handsome than me. He sings well and can play the guitar. He failed to pass the Beijing Film Academy exam that he applied for in the college entrance examination. In the past six months, he plans to study abroad to study music, which will cost a lot of money.
Jiang Yuan and Xie Pengfei still maintain a relationship. The man's family has no money, so Jiang Yuan said you go pursue your dream. I will find a way to help you if you need as much money as you need.
Jiang Yuan's family is also an ordinary person. They made trouble several times and refused to give her money. That was why she was so angry when talking to the old man in the taxi that night.
She said that there were ancient tombs under the sulfuric acid plant, which were their ancestral graves, but the sulfuric acid plant did not belong to her family, and the matter would have to be done secretly.
Since both parties involved agreed, I felt no psychological burden and hit it off immediately.
I asked her to go to the sulfuric acid plant tomorrow night to check out the location. I will find out if there are any tombs, which dynasty they belong to, and how big they are.
When the time came the next night, Dou Sprout and I went with our bags and shovels in our bags.
The old sulfuric acid plant was located in the southeast corner of Sanqiao Town. It was still in production at the time. I remember that there was a strong chemical smell near the drainage ditch. At night, a small light would light up at the door of the sulfuric acid plant, and someone would be on duty to watch the door.
"Where are you? I'm here." After arriving, I called and looked around.
"I'm behind you, here on the screen wall."
I hung up the phone and walked towards the screen wall outside the sulfuric acid plant.
"Why are you dressed like this?"
I saw Jiang Yuan carrying a bag. She was wearing a tight-fitting black dress and a monkey hat on her head (a hat that only exposed her eyes). She was dressed like an ancient nightwalker.
"Of course you have to dress like this. You don't know what we are here for? Where are the things? Let me take a look."
I opened the zipper and let her take a look.
"So this is the Luoyang shovel," Jiang Yuan asked curiously: "Where did the rice come from for such a precious thing?"
How valuable is a Luoyang shovel?
A handful of tens of dollars, how could I not have this guy who eats with me... She seemed to really have no idea at all.
I found an excuse to sneak over, and I asked where the location was. Someone in the factory was watching, and how did you plan to take us in?
Jiang Yuan poked her head out from the screen wall, took a look and whispered: "I'll tell you when I go in, every December, grandpa will go there to burn some paper. Did you see that person coming out?"
I looked forward and saw a thin old man pushing out the door of the duty room. The old man was wearing long trousers and a military coat. He was holding a red urinal in his hand and was shivering from the cold.
"Bang." The old man carried the urinal into the duty room and closed the door.
Jiang Yuan whispered: "That's Old Man Ma. He knows me but not you. I'll go bring him food later. I'll block the window so he can't see outside. Look at my signal. Wait until I open the window. When you arrive,
Then you two slipped in under the window. There is a tree in the factory. You go to the tree and wait for me."
Douyazai looked at the duty room, touched his chin and said, "What a good idea. Beauty, you are such a filial son. Your grandpa will be happy to know about it."
Jiang Yuan glared at Douyazai, she asked me to stay where I was, and then walked to the duty room carrying her bag.
The lights were on in the duty room, so I couldn't see what was going on in the room. More than ten minutes later, I heard Old Man Ma's loud laughter coming from the duty room.
"It's open, it's open," Douyazai said. The window was opened, and then I saw a hand quietly reaching out and waving to us.
"Let's go." I pushed the bean sprouts.
When I arrived at the door, I carried my bag and walked under the window. At this time, I only heard old man Ma in the duty room saying: "Young people still have to make progress, Yuanyuan, my grandson is very motivated, and his looks are okay.
I plan to buy a car next year..."
The sulfuric acid plant is a big place, and from time to time you can see employees carrying plastic boxes back and forth. When no one was around, Dou Sprout and I ran behind the tree.
After more than twenty minutes, Jiang Yuan came running.
I asked: "Where is the place? Take us there."
She nodded and said come with me.
She was familiar with the terrain here. There was a small road around the back of the factory. It couldn't be said to be a road. It was just a wider gap, no more than one meter wide from the wall.
Jiang Yuan waved her hand and we followed her in.
"Be careful where you step. There are rocks here. Don't trip. It's too dark."
Dou Sprout asked if he could turn on the light.
Jiang Yuan said it was best not to turn on the lights for fear of being seen.
After walking a few dozen steps forward, Jiang Yuan, who was leading the way, suddenly stopped and stopped walking.
"Why don't you leave?".
I turned on the flashlight and took a look.
It’s not that I’m not leaving, it’s that I’m meeting someone.
There were three people on the other side, all of them men, wearing blue cotton clothes issued by the sulfuric acid factory. I saw that one of them was carrying a camouflage bag in his hand, and he should be a factory worker.
After being seen, Jiang Yuan hesitated with a guilty conscience: "What class?"
The man in the lead covered his eyes with his hands and said: "Don't shine the flashlight in my eyes, trying to blind me. I am crushing sulfur ore in the east courtyard. Go to the west courtyard from here. Hey, why haven't you seen it?"
You guys don't wear work clothes, what are you doing here?"
Jiang Yuan lied and said, "The ones from our raw material factory will deliver the goods in the afternoon and we will take the car back tomorrow morning."
"Oh, that's it, you go first."
The man leaned against the wall, sucked his stomach back hard, and waved his hand to let us pass first.
"Thank you, brother," Jiang Yuan smiled and walked over first.
When I was walking past with my bag, I accidentally bumped into the bag at his feet.
there's noise.
"Huh?" I glanced down at the place with my flashlight.
The zipper of the camouflage bag under their feet was not zipped all the way, leaving a gap exposed, and I saw a trace of metal reflection.
Why do I look like...
The steel handle of a stainless steel cyclone shovel?
