Chapter seven hundred and ninety fourth heart-warming price
Chapter 794: An exciting price
Shadow Wood Zhong Kui? Xu Qing turned the wood carving in his hand and took a closer look. Sure enough, it was a statue of Zhong Kui. This Zhong Kui had a leopard head with eyes, an iron face and a beard. He wore a high-ranking official hat and a blue robe, and even had horns on his waist and feet.
The other wat tablets on the waist of the boots are all vivid and clear. In the eyes of Xiao Xu, who has studied yù carving, this is a very charming sculpture treasure. At least he cannot carve such an object. TXT e-book download

The most amazing thing is that there are some irregular small round wood grains on the surface of this wood carving. If you rub the wood carving with your palm a few times, a faint scent of sandalwood will waft out. It is actually carved from a whole piece of top-quality red sandalwood.
Judging from the subtle and simple patina on the surface, it seems to be an old object of some years. It is indeed not easy to preserve it in complete condition to this day.
"It's a good thing. Did you two snatch it from someone else?" Xu Qing said lightly. In fact, he really wanted to cut this wooden sculpture open to see what good things that could exude golden energy were hidden inside.
.
The two men in slippers were having sex, and they were shaking well. Why did they feel that the person behind them was not some lonely ghost? When they turned around with trembling hearts, their expressions suddenly changed. It turned out to be a young man in a suit and leather shoes.
.
"Damn it, where did you come from, you are a second-rate scoundrel. We took out our own things and exchanged them for money to do this shit!" A man in slippers didn't care if his crotch got wet. He got up from the ground and reached out to grab Xu Qing's hand.
The woodcarving was unexpectedly hit with a big slap across the face. Chōu came over and slapped him in the face.
Xu Qing was a professional at slapping him in the face. With one slap, he turned the guy around 360 degrees. Then he grabbed the collar with one hand and lifted it up. This strength was seen in the eyes of ordinary people.
It was already so terrifying that the scolding man in slippers was completely stunned, his toes pointed to the ground and he kept kicking.
Another man in slippers got up with a horrified face, rolled his eyes and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Robbery! Someone is coming!" The voice was much louder than when he called his mother, far away in the dark night.
Spread far and wide.
These shouting voices alarmed the people living in the shed and alley. Many people had already walked out of the shed alley. Xu Qing felt that this was a bit strange. He had clearly heard someone scolding him just now, but it seemed that he was still yelling.
How could an old man end up in this situation all of a sudden? As soon as his palms were loosened, the frightened man in slippers slumped to the ground helplessly.
"You two bastards who have forgotten your roots, the old man has raised you for decades in vain...cough!" A wave of vague scolding came from the alley, and finally turned into several fierce coughs, and he turned to look.
I saw a stooped old man walking out of the alley on a cane, followed by several neighbors.
The two slipper men looked at each other with a somewhat gloomy expression, but their eyes still did not leave the wood carving in Xu Qing's hand.
Soon, nearly a hundred people had gathered around. Even though this place looked like a slum, the neighbors still had a strong sense of humanity. Just shouting and shouting could attract a large group of people, and they even spontaneously surrounded Xu Qing.
In the center, an old man on crutches came over shakily, looked at the two men in slippers, and then slowly turned his head to look at the wooden sculptures.
"Young man, thank you for helping the old man catch these two beasts." The old man looks to be in his seventies, but he has more wrinkles on his face than anyone in his eighties, and the age spots have even reached his nose.
His body was so thin that it looked like he could be blown away by a gust of wind.
Xu Qing smiled and handed the wood carving in his hand to the old man. From what he said, the three of them were probably father and son. It was good luck to absorb some gold energy. It was better not to get involved in other people's housework.
"Old man, this is a good thing, please take it." Xu Qing reminded him kindly. To be honest, he was really reluctant to part with the things hidden in the wood carvings, but it wouldn't be a good idea if he didn't want to sell other people's things.
reluctantly.
The old man took the wood carving, but it was too heavy. He could only put the walking stick under his ribs and hold it in his arms with both hands: "Oh! The ancestors passed down the things, and several people who came to pay for the old house paid the price.
I'm not willing to sell it, I've finally seen through it, sooner or later this thing will be defeated by these two beasts..."
Xu Qing smiled calmly and said: "The things are pretty good, you'd better put them away!" He didn't leave immediately, wasn't he still surrounded by a large group of people?
The old man held the wood carving, bent down and bowed to the crowd of onlookers: "Thank you, neighbors. It's okay. Everyone, please go back and rest!"
After the crowd dispersed, a warm-hearted aunt came forward and reminded her: "Old Nie, you must hide this treasure of yours, so as not to be plotted by others."
The old man dared to be named Nie. He smiled bitterly and said: "Sooner or later, if you can sleep with me for a night, let's count it as a night!" With these two brothers thinking about it, it would be useless no matter where they hide it, unless they break it into pieces.
A few petals may still be left if they have no value.
Xu Qing smiled and said: "It's okay, I'll leave too, please take care of yourself." After saying that, he turned around and prepared to leave. A gentleman loves money and acquires it in a proper way. He considers himself not a gentleman, but the word "choice" still matters.
.
"Young man, thank you!" Lao Nie held the wood carving and said thank you behind his back. Xu Qing waved his hand and took out his cell phone. He was unfamiliar with the place here, so he had to call someone from the base to drive to pick him up.
The two men in slippers shook their wet knees and walked to Lao Nie, one on the left and the other on the right. One of them began to plead in a low voice: "Dad, you'd better give us the things! Otherwise we brothers will owe you
How can I pay back Brother Zhang Yang’s money?”
Old Nie hugged the wooden sculpture tightly and refused to let go, and said angrily: "Kang'er, Shun'er, you two brothers should repay the debt you owe to the King of Hell yourself, and don't take any chances with this treasure."
One of these two brothers is called Nie Kang and the other is Nie Shun. They are both the biological sons of old Nie. The two brothers are usually filial, but they like to gamble. As the saying goes, nine out of ten gamblers cheat. If someone cheats someone, the money will end up in the hands of the old man.
This old object. Shadow wood, also called gall wood, actually refers to the burrs formed by lesions on trees. There are various patterns in this kind of wood that cannot be copied, but they are generally not big. Like this two-foot-tall whole tree
This piece is rare to find in a thousand years, and what is even more rare is that it is made of top-quality rosewood and is an old item. Taken together, it becomes a rare and rare treasure. No wonder it is coveted by interested people.
Another man in slippers took Lao Nie's crutch and began to beg: "Dad! This thing is just a lump of wood. Brother Zhang Yang said that if you send this thing over, all the 80,000 yuan you owe will be paid off and returned to us."
120,000. When the time comes, we two brothers will never gamble again. Really, I will be filial to you."
Lao Nie had a look of unbearability in his eyes after being begged by the two brothers. He sighed and said: "Forget it, if you can really exchange this Yingmu Zhongkui for your two sons, it will be worth it no matter what. Take it.
!" He said, holding the wooden sculpture in front of his eldest son with trembling palms.
"Let's just do this. I'll pay half a million in cash and I can sell this item to me!" Xu Qing, who was on the phone at the side, heard it clearly and quoted a price that made the two brothers' hearts beat.
