"Ah?" Zhai Chen was amused by him, and stretched out his hand to pinch his face, "It's not a kiln, it's a scorpion, that buddy who lent me five thousand yuan last time. What are you thinking?"
"Well, okay," Gao Yusheng was a little embarrassed, and lowered his head to put away the two newspapers.
His tidying up was slow and somewhat absent-minded. When Zhai Chen tilted his head to look at him, he had already stood up with the newspaper. After scanning it and saving it in the computer, Gao Yusheng was silent for a long time in front of the screen, and suddenly tapped the keyboard.
Zhai Chen ignored him, just sat on the ground and called Harrier directly. At this time, Harrier should still be busy in the auto repair shop, and it took a long time to pick up.
"Brother Chen!" A full-bodied voice burst out from the receiver. I don't know if it was an illusion, but there seemed to be a bit of surprise in Harrier's voice, as if he hadn't seen it for many years.
"Yo, so enthusiastic, miss you brother and me?" Zhai Chen pulled the phone away and pressed the ear that was hurt.
"Ah, no, no, no, no," Harrier said incoherently, after calming down a bit, "I was going to call you when you called. Is there anything wrong?"
Zhai Chen also asked directly: "I remember your hometown is Wutong County. Do you know there is an iron mine there?"
"There is an iron mine, what is it called Yuanlai. When I was a child, that mine was quite prosperous, but it closed more than ten years ago." Harrier answered truthfully. The background sound was mixed with the shouts of other people in the repair shop. He answered and walked out with his mobile phone, stopping only when he reached a secluded place.
Seeing that he knew about it, Zhai Chen hurriedly asked, "Then do you know why the door is closed?"
Yaozi thought about it carefully: "I heard people say that it was the miners who made trouble, killed people, and the boss lost his entire property. I don't know very well, the place is quite far from my grandma's house, and I heard what Brother Hu said. "
The so-called Brother Tiger, Zhai Chen knows.
Harrier was not good at learning when he was a child, and he was short-tempered and could fight again. At that time, I was young and had no scruples, so I really dared to be taken by Brother Hu to rob. The first vote was a big one, grabbing hundreds of thousands. But the fat sheep refused to hand over the money obediently, resisted desperately, and was stabbed to death by Brother Hu. Robbery turned into robbery and murder, and Wangfeng's accomplices could not escape the guilt. Brother Hu was shot, and Yaozi and another little brother were sentenced to a fixed term because they did not kill and were underage.
Brother Hu, a big brother in society, most of what he says is unreliable, adding fuel and bragging.
Zhai Chen didn't ask any more: "You just said you were going to look for me?" Yazi is a taciturn person, if it wasn't for something serious, he wouldn't say polite words like "I was going to look for you".
"Ah," Hearing the voice, Yaozi seemed to look around, avoiding people deliberately, and said in a low voice, "Brother Chen, can you go to the store tomorrow, I have something to discuss with you."
"Go to Fatty Zhou's place?" Zhai Chen didn't react when he suddenly said this. Zhai Chen has not been to the SEAL Special Housekeeping Store for a long time since Mr. Gao gave him this annual salary job.
"Well, someone wants to buy the stone at my house. The bid is very high, and the cash transaction. I... I want you to go with me." As a strong man with a height of 1.9 meters, Harrier speaks like a mosquito at the moment, listening to It looks awkward.
"What stone, do you still have antiques at home?" Zhai Chen was very surprised. This man's family is so poor, and the old mother sometimes has to take care of him when taking medicine. If there is such a treasure, how can it be so tight
"That's right..." The words seemed hard to say, and Yaozi murmured for a while before saying, "That's when I grabbed it. I always thought it was handed in. Who knows my mother is still hiding it."
He was young when he was imprisoned, and he was released only a few years ago, so he had little social experience. It looks fierce and difficult to provoke, but in fact, his head is empty, he is obviously older than Zhai Chen, but he is fooled by him to call him Brother Chen. And Zhai Chen, who responded to this "brother", had to bear this title.
Zhai Chen took a slow breath, pondered for a while, and replied, "I see, I'll be there tomorrow."
Hardware Street is still the same, with only half an hour of sun a day. Hardware Streets all over the country seem to have a virtue. When the weather is hot, there is nowhere to hide from the sun, and when the weather is cold, there is no warm place. According to Zhou Fatzi, gold and wood are mutually exclusive, so the trees in Hardware Street look like bald chickens, and naturally they do not shade or block the wind.
In Zhai Chen's view, it is because the hardware stores are all located in the back street, and the rent is cheap, so naturally it is not a lively Feng Shui treasure. Fatty Zhou's reasoning is completely inversion of cause and effect. If the hardware store is opened to the Fortune Building, it will be warm in winter and cool in summer and sunny in summer.
I haven't been here for a while, and the big red-backed gold signboard of SEAL Special Housekeeping is even more greasy. Just because the hardware store next door was closed and changed to one selling hot dry noodles and fried rice noodles, the chimney was dug out of the signboard, and within a few days, the "seal" was smoked into fried seals.
"Yo, I haven't seen you for a few days. Your door has been smeared with oil. Boss Zhou has made a fortune." Zhai Chen went in with a bag of food and threw it on the rustic glass coffee table wrapped in green plastic flowers. superior.
"The barren egg, if it wasn't for the pitiful little widow next door, I would have gone to set up her stall." Boss Zhou rubbed his bald head and said viciously.
"Tsk, little widow, how do you know she's a little widow?" Zhai Chen sat on the elbow of the sofa, stepped on the edge of the chair with one foot, and looked at him meaningfully.
"She said it herself, when a man dies, take care of a child by yourself." Zhou Guangtou rolled up his sleeves, revealing the flowery arms of the left blue dragon and the right white tiger, and pulled food from the bag. The big gold chain in the neck swayed with the movement, making a clinking sound.
"Yo, when did the bald-headed Lord Zhou become a good man?" Before the Harrier came, Zhai Chen was very bored, so he tried his best to tease Fatty Zhou.
"If I don't have a good heart, can I accept your stuff?" Boss Zhou sneered, pointing to Zhai Chen, and then to Harrier who had just walked to the door.
"Ah?" Harrier, dressed in overalls and covered in oil, froze at the door for unknown reasons. He was carrying a woven bag in his hand, with the words "XX health care divine wine" on it, and it was bulging with waste newspapers and plastic bags wrapped in something.
When Zhai Chen greeted him, Yazi looked left and right, and directly pulled down the rolling shutter halfway.
"Hey, what are you doing, the business is not done!" The bald fat man was not very happy.
However, Harrier insisted and locked the glass door. He sat on the sofa with the pocket in his hand, looked at the pocket with dull eyes, and didn't speak for a long time.
Boss Zhou looked at him, then at the pocket, and hesitantly said, "I said Harrier, did you bring that thing?"
"Well, I'm not worried about putting it at home." Yazi nodded, looking at Boss Zhou, and then at Zhai Chen. The brawny man with all the muscles, rarely showed a bit of a daze. It seems to have retracted back to the young man who followed Brother Hu, at a loss, waiting for others to make up his mind.
Fatty Zhou was so angry that his liver hurt, he got up and put down the rolling shutter by himself. The house suddenly fell into silence, isolated from the hustle and bustle of the street, forming a relatively safe confined space.
Zhai Chen raised his eyebrows, stretched out his hand and took a look, wrapped so tightly that he couldn't see what was inside: "What is this?"
"Stone." Harrier opened it with his own hands.
"Wait a minute!" Boss Zhou stopped the Harrier's behavior that he was about to take out the newspaper, and quickly went to the counter to take out two towels, folded them and spread them on the table, "You dare to go to such a valuable thing. Put it on the glass table!"
Boss Zhou is not a careful person either, but he is a bracelet player and knows how to put a cushion on it. That's why Harrier took out the things and slowly put them on the towel.
It was an irregular ore with jagged edges and sharp edges in some places. The appearance is dark and pale, like a briquettes, only a small area seems to have been scrubbed, and it glows brightly under the white fluorescent lamp.
"At that time, we robbed two people on the minibus. Both of them had such a stone in their bags and a lot of cash. Brother Hu said it was a gold lump and told us to take it, and he took it himself. I took most of the money. When I came back, I found that it was either a golden lump or a broken stone." Yazi stared at the ore, as if he had not recovered, and started from the beginning to tell the origin of the stone.
Zhai Chen and Fatty Zhou looked at each other and listened quietly.
"After I went in, I thought that this thing was collected along with the money. Who knew my mother was still hiding it. It is estimated that I found a similar stone and handed it over."
I heard that it was "golden lumps", so I had to keep it alive. It really seemed like something that a Harrier mother would do.
"This thing is stolen goods, and should be handed in. But it is worth 300,000 yuan now, and it must be troublesome to hand it in, and my mother..." Having said this, Harrier slowly hugged his head.
His mother has always been ill, and it is a very rare disease. Recently, his condition has suddenly deteriorated, and he has been in the hospital for two weeks, spending money like running water. The last time he borrowed Zhai Chen's 5,000 yuan, he had just repaid it, so he took another 20,000 yuan loan.
If you sell this stone, you will be able to borrow the urgent need, and the cost of the next operation will also be settled.
"Wait, what the hell is this thing? How can you be sure that it can sell for 300,000 yuan." Zhai Chen patted the head of the Harrier and told him to cheer up and talk.
Harrier wiped his face, but his hands were black, and his face was directly stained, so he had to pick up the sackcloth on the table and wipe it. He picked up a piece of newspaper and rubbed it on the stone. After a while, the rubbed area showed light. Simply rub the top side, revealing a cut surface.
The rocks are staggered, and the glowing place is a kind of light golden color, mixed with bright highlights.
"The brother who took the stone like me, has a relative in the family who is a stone dealer. I heard that this is called Xuetoujin."
A stone dealer is not a stone dealer, but a stone dealer. These people come out of the raw stone from the jade producing area and sell it to those who gamble and open jade.
This stone dealer, named Shi Quanyou, was a distant relative of that little brother of the Harrier. Originally, I was only in the jade business, but for some reason I fell in love with that jet-black ore, which was said to be snow head gold, which was especially valuable. According to Shi Quanyou, "This thing has existed since ancient times. The gold that has been refined has snowflakes, which are full of snow and gilded, and have been extinct for many years."
"Xuetoujin? I've only heard of dog headjin. What is Xuetoujin? Don't fool people." Boss Zhou frowned and expressed doubts.
"I'll send it to my employer, maybe he knows." Zhai Chen took a photo and sent it to Gao Yusheng.
Harrier has no opinion.
Zhou Dafa was curious: "Your employer, you still understand this, doesn't he run an Internet company?"
Zhai Chen blindly trusts: "He knows everything, and he should also know this."
Boss Zhou: "… "
Before Zhai Chen could show off his little gift, Gao Yusheng suddenly called with a very serious tone: "Put it in a metal box immediately, stay away from that place, and keep a distance of at least 20 meters from the ore, hurry up!"
Zhai Chen suddenly stood up: "Fuck!"
"What's the matter, what's the matter?" The two people on the sofa were startled by him,
Gao Yusheng calmly repeated his request to stay away from twenty meters, Zhai Chen immediately pulled the two out, closed the shutter again, and retreated to the roots of the tree by the roadside.
"Will this thing explode?" Zhai Chen asked Gao Yusheng who seemed to have run into the garage.
"I'll go over immediately, don't get close." After Gao Yusheng said this, he hung up the phone.
The author has something to say: Small Theater:
Brother Chen: Look, our family Tianci really understands everything
Harrier: What did he say this is
Brother Chen: didn't say anything
Harrier: …
