There is no rush for the Haixin Island adventure, there is still a long time to plan and prepare.
The very next day,
Niu Xiaotian received a message from Elder Kunze.
I'm very sorry, I didn't find the tortoise shell, I just got a clue that is difficult to distinguish between true and false.
More than 20 years ago, a farmer in the west discovered an item that looked like a tortoise shell while digging a vegetable cellar. It was bought by a passing couple for 200 yuan.
The couple claimed to be from Fengjiang City and archaeologists.
Archeology, couple.
Niu Xiaotian immediately thought of two people, who were his parents, two famous tomb robbers.
"Master, please give me a little more grace. We are still collecting clues..." Kunze said politely.
"Great Elder, how much did this clue cost for your hard work?" Niu Xiaotian typed and asked. He should be reimbursed and not just let Jinsha Sect spend money.
"It was provided by a disciple of our sect. A few pills are a reward, which is not enough." Kunze sent a waving hand emoticon.
After finishing the chat, Niu Xiaotian found a picture of a tortoise shell on his mobile phone and sent it to his father Niu Wu, followed by, "Dad, have you seen this thing?"
No movement!
Niu Xiaotian sent another string of emoticons, and after waiting for a long time, Niu Wu finally replied: "I was sleeping just now, Xiaotian, why do you ask this?"
"Of course it works!" Niu Xiaotian hummed.
Niu Wu was too lazy to type, so he sent a video connection. Niu Xiaotian immediately connected, and saw his father rubbing his eyes, waking up from a dream.
At nine o'clock in the morning, I was still sleeping.
Niu Xiaotian finally found the reason why he likes to go to bed late and get up late.
Alas, it turned out to be Suigen.
"Xiao Tian, have you just woken up? Remember to have breakfast. Don't think that being young is bad for your health." Niu Wu rambled.
"Dad, please set an example first! Don't say these useless things. Have you seen the pictures I sent you?" Niu Xiaotian smoothed his messy hair a few times and asked with a yawn.
"Seen it!"
Niu Wu gave an affirmative answer and followed the story about breaking up with Bai Han. After leaving Tongtian Mausoleum, he and his wife walked all the way. When they passed a village, they happened to meet a farmer who dug up something like this.
It looks a bit like an ancient shield, coming from a barbarian country.
I don't know what it is, but it might be of some value.
then,
The couple bought it for 200 yuan. They were not cheating the farmers. Antiquities unearthed from the ground should belong to the state. This is a reward.
After cleaning it, the two took the so-called shield back to Fengjiang City.
However, after careful study, Niu Wu felt that he had made a mistake and was very upset.
There are no ancient cultural symbols that can be compared. There are no spots on it that have been eroded by time. This thing is light black and the material is very light, not metal, but hard in texture, more like a modern handicraft.
Therefore, without reporting the matter, Niu Wu handed the object to a roadside antique stall owner.
Half a month later, it was bought by a passerby for five hundred.
Niu Wu received two hundred and fifty, and after excluding the purchase price, he still made fifty.
well!
Dad is really a 250-year-old who only cares about petty profits and standard sticks.
Seeing his son frowning, Niu Wu was a little panicked and asked quickly: "Xiaotian, can you say that it is really a cultural relic?"
"It's not a cultural relic, it's a tortoise shell. It can't be measured by money. Let's put it this way, I'm afraid there is only one like this in the world." Niu Xiaotian said displeasedly.
Niu Wu breathed a sigh of relief. I had never heard of Digui and it was not within the scope of archeology. "Son, what on earth is that?"
"The tortoise has lived in the soil for thousands of years, can escape from the soil, and can also bless the weather with good weather." Niu Xiaotian briefly introduced.
Niu Wu slapped his forehead fiercely, regretting that he had missed it, and then said: "Xiaotian, are you looking for this thing to make a magic weapon?"
"Yes, what does the person who bought the tortoise shell look like?" Niu Xiaotian continued to pursue clues.
"The stall owner said that he is a middle-aged man who is almost fifty years old. He is dressed neatly and looks like a leader. He should be a local in Fengjiang."
"There are many like this, please be more specific."
"I didn't think much about it at the time." Niu Wu held his forehead in shame.
Ground tortoise shell, in Fengjiang.
But Fengjiang City is so big, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack.
The key is that collection cannot be done through advertising, as it is too sensitive and may easily attract the attention of the cultural relics department.
"Xiaotian, how about I inquire again for you?"
"You'd better go have breakfast!"
After hanging up his father's video, Niu Xiaotian crossed his legs and smoked. After thinking about it for a long time, he still remembered a person. Maybe he could find something in his place.
A well-known collector in Fengjiang City, Fu Fang.
The circle of antique collecting is actually not very big, and Fu Fang, as an industry insider, should know a lot about it.
Niu Xiaotian did it as soon as he thought of it. Niu Xiaotian grabbed his cell phone and immediately called Fu Fang.
Fu Fang answered the question and asked with a smile: "Brother Xiaotian, why do you think of me?"
Nowadays, Niu Xiaotian is rich and well-known, and he is in and out of the upper class society, and everyone feels flattered.
"Hey, I got something. We are laymen and we want Mr. Fu to help identify it." Niu Xiaotian said.
"no problem!"
Fu Fang agreed wholeheartedly, and then said, "I am traveling with my wife, and I will be able to return to Fengjiang tonight."
"Is the relationship with my sister-in-law as good as ever?"
"Being better than before, only after losing things can we learn to cherish them more. Brother, thank you very much." Fu Fang said sincerely.
"Don't you plan to leave the siege?"
"Haha, life in the city is not bad, rich, quiet and stable." Fu Fang laughed.
They agreed to meet at noon tomorrow and contact him by mobile phone in advance. Niu Xiaotian sent another mobile phone number to Fu Fang via WeChat.
Switching to a mobile phone will save you the trouble of being tracked by Bai Han, Huang Pingye and Yu Wenzhang.
The next morning,
Niu Xiaotian took Qingyi, She Canlian and Bai Fei into a bulletproof vehicle and rushed all the way to Fengjiang City.
She Canlian drove quickly and steadily, while Niu Xiaotian and Qingyi were lying on the big bed in the carriage, playing with their mobile phones, and entered the city without knowing it.
I contacted Fu Fang and found out that the place where he was treating him at noon was the same teahouse where Niu Xiaotian had been.
Fu Fang personally greeted him at the door of the teahouse, and his wife Li Li stood beside him, wearing a professional suit. When he saw Niu Xiaotian, he immediately smiled.
"Hello, Mr. Fu, hello, sister-in-law!" Niu Xiaotian greeted politely.
"Brother Xiaoda, you are young and handsome, and your temperament is better than before." Fu Fang greeted. He was not this kind of person before and seemed a bit dull. Now that his love life is stable, his mentality is relaxed.
"It's an award. It means I don't have to worry about eating and drinking." Niu Xiaotian said modestly.
Li Li came over and shook hands briefly. Seeing She Canlian in the driver's seat, she asked again: "Director Niu, why don't you get down and have a meal with the lady in the car?"
"She ate too much in the morning and lost her appetite." Niu Xiaotian waved his hand.
Li Liruo realized that this was probably Director Niu's female bodyguard and driver, who had no chance to serve.
