Three of the five communists who stayed behind were bitten by cobras. Fortunately, the mustache brought snake poison with him and applied it to them before the poison was poisoned. He also used an assault rifle to successfully kill all the poisonous snakes. However, when they rushed to the altar,
Bian Shi was dumbfounded. The wooden box inside was opened, revealing a row of black gun muzzles. Everything originally placed inside had disappeared.
The mustache immediately took out a mobile phone from his pocket and dialed a number. After chatting for a while, a cold female voice came from the other end of the phone, as if she was scolding him for his incompetence.
The woman on the other end of the phone was very frightened. She began to sweat profusely on her forehead. In less than a minute, sweat had covered her face. Beads of salt water were dripping down her chin. Her whole body was shaking as if she had been given an electric shock. However,
These instigators are no longer visible.
At this time, Xu Qing was smoking a cigarette and walking along the potholed street. He hung the stolen gold chain on his waist. As he walked, three crystal skulls swayed, making two crisp sounds when they bumped into each other from time to time. He was now
I regret tying this thing around my waist, but you can't take out a gold chain and hang it around your neck in broad daylight, right? You can only walk faster in areas with few people, and walk slowly in areas with many people.
There are sparse small shops on both sides of the road, and there are also many street vendors selling various wild products. When Xu Qing came, these street vendors had not come out just now, but now they have sprung up like bamboo shoots after a rain. All kinds of rare animals are skinned, dismembered and priced.
There are also various live animals for sale in cages. There is no illegal poaching here, there are only high and low prices, and there are dried or fresh animal carcasses along the way.
In addition to stalls selling wild animals, there are also many stalls selling handicrafts, ranging from precious ivory carvings to bone carvings and stone carvings. There are also various hats and cloaks made of feathers. The dazzling array is dazzling.
The expression on his face was still indifferent, but it did not affect Xu Qing's mood of looking around. His eyes had long been attracted by the novel objects here.
This mission has been successfully completed, and three crystal skulls have been obtained. Xu Qing is now in a relaxed and happy mood. He is thinking about picking up some beautiful things here and going back, so that his trip here is not in vain.
Not far ahead there is a stall selling carved jewelry. The stall owner is an old woman with white hair. Although her hair is white, she looks very energetic. There is a saying that a rich man is called old when he is thirty, and a poor man is called young when he is seventy.
It would be hard to live in such an environment if you couldn't find some way to make a living. After all, the items on the old woman's stall were quite exquisite, at least Xu Qing took a liking to them at a glance.
After walking a few steps quickly to the old woman's stall, Xu Qing squatted down and carefully looked at the carved ornaments on the ground. There were stone carvings of various birds and animals, bone carvings of human figures and gods, and even a few light yellow old tooth carvings. These objects
The carving is skillful, and judging from the way the objects are carved, it seems that they were created by the same person.
Xu Qing has studied jade carving. He studied under Xue Hongyun, a master of jade carving. His eyesight is naturally superior to others. When he first saw the objects on the stall, he felt the difference. After a closer look, he discovered that these carvings were made of
They are all hollow and openwork carving techniques, and his carving skills have reached the level of proficiency. It really surprised him to see such skillful carving skills in such a small place. This person's carving skills are better than those of his runaways.
Senior brother is more than a little bit stronger.
"It costs two hundred rupees for stone carvings, three hundred rupees for bone carvings, and more than two thousand rupees for ivory carvings. You can't afford it..." The old woman spoke fluent Chinese, but there was a sense of indifference in her words, which was not like the domestic ones at all.
The vendors doing business welcome customers with warm smiles. This kind of business may be a local characteristic.
Xu Qing raised his head and smiled and said: "Is it okay to pay with Chinese currency? One hundred rupees and twenty yuan is fine." One Chinese currency is equivalent to seventeen rupees. The price he gave is quite a loss, but every item here is
The carvings are all exquisite, and in the eyes of those who are truly knowledgeable, they may be sold for dozens or even hundreds of times the price.
The old woman's eyes were clear, and she nodded expressionlessly: "Okay, as I said before, you can't buy it if you don't want to buy it." This is how business is done here, and it's completely a "buy it or not buy it" attitude.
Xu Qing smiled, took out his wallet from his pocket, opened it, looked through it, pointed at more than a dozen objects on the floor and said, "I want all the things here, let's count them!"
As the saying goes, a layman only sees the excitement, and an expert sees the door. Xu Qing can definitely be called an expert in the appraisal of carved objects. Buying these objects is guaranteed to make a profit, and selling them can easily make dozens of times the profit, even if you keep them.
It’s also good to play with it yourself. There is a lot worth learning in terms of carving techniques alone. If he can learn something, it will also improve his own skills.
The old woman didn't seem to expect to meet such a big customer, and the emotions in her eyes fluctuated. She glanced at Xu Qing doubtfully, and finally began to sort out the prices of the items. She calculated them twice carefully, and with a trembling voice
The voice said: "The total is 5,200 yuan in Chinese coins. I can wrap it up for you."
Money, this bastard, is the thing that can change people the most. The old woman who looked indifferent just now now has an uncontrollable excitement in her voice, because she is likely to get a sum of money soon.
Money to let her live a good life for a long time.
Xu Qing readily counted out a stack of banknotes and handed them over. His wallet was big enough to easily hold tens of thousands of cash. To him, receiving this batch of items was like missing something. The most important thing was not that the items themselves were cheap.
, but the hollow openwork technique displayed on the object.
The old woman took the banknotes with her trembling palms. The long-lost texture made her feel that everything was real. She took out two banknotes from a stack of banknotes and exposed them to the sun again and again, pinching the corners of the banknotes with her fingertips.
After rubbing it and rubbing it, I finally confirmed the authenticity. I counted the number of notes several times, then happily wrapped them in a yellowed handkerchief and put them in the lapel of my clothes.
Money, the bastard, is also the thing that can bring people closer together. After the old woman received the money, her attitude changed completely. She carefully wiped every object with a flannel cloth, and then
They were wrapped in small pieces of rags, and finally they took out a hand-embroidered bag to put the things in. They handed it to Xu Qing with a smile and said one word twice with a trembling voice, "Thank you!"
Xu Qing took the bag, took out a business card from his wallet, handed it to the old woman, and said in a low voice: "If this master of carving objects is willing to have a job that can provide stable and generous wages, he can come to Huaxia Jiangcheng to find me.
Just make this call." After saying that, he put the business card into the old woman's hand, carried the bag and walked forward leisurely.
