I'm ashamed to say that I have been in Xi'an for a while, but I haven't really visited this famous historical ancient capital overseas. What's even more unspeakable is that I was forced to go back to school. You know, I It has been many years since I graduated.
Things have turned, and the "campus front" formed by teachers Li Xiangting, Shen Yi and others finally failed to withstand the fire attacks of several other women. It was just for "competing for favor" for no other reason. The current situation is very similar. In the past, in the emperor's harem, the concubines came and went, fighting openly and secretly, with great momentum.
If Tang Yan didn't take action, she would directly expel me from the school. She didn't even have time to react to Li Xiangting, so she could only let me back alive. Although Shen Yi and Su Qin were with Li Xiangting out of interests, They formed an alliance, but in the end, they were still Tang Yan's people, so it was difficult to speak out against them.
Just like that, I dropped out of school.
I definitely can't go back to Hu Bing's place, because Tang Yan explicitly said not to do so. Chen Yina now lives alone and is no longer Hu Bing's maid, but Hu Bing's business still depends on her, so the two of them have actually become " "Community", slowly, a small group emerged within the "Beautiful Beauty Rescue Team" that I finally formed. Generally speaking, Tang Yan formed a group as the core, with Mo Beiying and Mo Yingying as its core members; Hu Bing and Chen Yina also formed a collective. Luo Xue, Wu Honghong and Chen Yina were close, so they naturally leaned toward them. Li Xiangting, Shen Yi, and Su Qin formed a united front, and Gao Qi and the others were the only ones who followed them.
Tang Yan sent someone to take me directly to her home under the pretext of finding a house for me. However, even Mo Beiying didn't know about this home, and no one had lived in it before I arrived.
They said it was lent to me to live in, but in reality it was a house arrest. After I arrived here, my mobile phone was confiscated and all my communication equipment was replaced with new ones. It felt like I was completely isolated from the world.
This kind of life lasted for half a month. Later, Tang Yan saw that I couldn't hold it in any longer and was afraid that she would cause me depression, so she resumed her normal life. However, I still couldn't leave this place that only belongs to me. Even if Mo Beiying and Mo Yingying wanted to see me, they had to get her permission, and they could only stay one night a week. According to the rules, there were no exceptions.
One day I was so idle that I wanted to go out for a walk. I was worried about where to go when a friend on WeChat whom I hadn’t contacted for many years sent a message.
"Xu Duobao? Why did this guy suddenly find me?" I opened the message in confusion and saw a message from him. It probably meant that I haven't contacted him for a long time and I missed him very much. Let's get together when we have time.
Coincidentally, this Xu Duobao is in Xi'an.
"Haha, we are really destined to meet each other thousands of miles away. By coincidence, I am also in Xi'an." I felt happy, thinking that being idle is also idle. We haven't seen each other for so many years, so what's the harm in meeting me.
Xu Duobao and I have known each other for a long time. He was a classmate in the class next to mine when we were in elementary school. After high school, we gradually stopped interacting with each other. We occasionally exchanged greetings during New Years and holidays. As for our friendship, it was mainly in antiques. I have connections in the industry. He served in the army when he was young, and after retiring and returning home, he ran his ancestral antique shop. He always looks out for me.
But I never thought that he actually opened an antique shop in Xi'an. You must know that the antiques in this place are not inferior to those in the capital. It is a mixed bag and the business is not easy to do.
Speaking of antiques, I am not bragging! If I say it is from the early Tang Dynasty, it definitely cannot be from the late Sui Dynasty.
It can be said that we have never made a mistake.
It was raining outside that day, so I went to Xu Duobao's store according to the address. By chance, he went out to collect the goods, so I had to wait for him alone in the store.
nothing
While we were chatting, I found a magazine about antiques and flipped through it casually. Although I am a master of treasure appraisal, there are occasionally some good things in these magazines. We are in the antique business, and the information is the most important.
important.
At this moment, the phone in the store rang. Seeing that it was Xu Duobao's number, I asked the waiter to give me the phone, and I picked it up carelessly, "Hey! Old Xu,
Why don't you stop on this rainy day? Could it be that you went digging in the barren mountains again?"
"Oh, Lin Kun, why are you here so early!" Xu Duobao said happily, "What the hell! We don't want to do things like robbing tombs."
I can hear Xu Duobao spitting in retort. He is a bit dull, but his personality is gentle. The most eye-catching thing about him is his good luck. For example, there is a yellow lump on the road.
Something, if others see it, it is just a piece of cake, but if he sees it, it may be a piece of gold.
According to this old boy's habit, saying this means that he has good stuff again.
Of course, when I said that Xu Duobao robbed tombs, I was really trying to get rid of him. This old boy is rich and also likes to collect antiques. Before, he often bought and exchanged good things in my store. Of course, he also made mistakes in other people's stores.
Quite a few. Later I found out that I was very good at picking up antiques, so I got closer.
After Xu Duobao chatted on the phone, he told me, "Brother, I collected a mirror from the countryside a while ago. Just look at the workmanship and pattern of this mirror, it is very unique.
, why don’t you come over and help me take a look?”
"Mirror? Glass, right?"
"What are you talking about? It's Liuli! This is authentic colorful Liuli." Xu Duobao retorted hastily. Even though I couldn't see his face, I could imagine that he must be spitting on the phone.
appearance.
"Oh! Brother, you also know that glass mirrors are not antiques? OK, I will go to your place and have a look." I responded to Xu Duobao's words in a long voice.
Besides, the antique shop has the rules of the antique shop. No matter how good the relationship is, if I go on this trip, he will share some of the benefits. Not only that, the more valuable the antiques he brings out, the more benefits I will get.
A lot. According to laymen, this is called an antique appraisal fee.
For me, this is a business with no capital and huge profit, and I certainly have no reason not to do it.
Xu Duobao's home is in the dormitory area of ​​a middle school in the suburbs of Xi'an. Only when I got here did I understand how he came to Xi'an. The most important reason is that this guy settled his family here and found a wife here. He
His wife Lu Ping teaches in a middle school.
"Hello, sister-in-law!" I greeted loudly as soon as I entered the door.
Xu Duobao's wife Lu Ping is much younger than him, but she is a big beauty, which is famous in all the villages. Even though this is a suburb and far away from the city, this place is full of beautiful women.
Lu Ping invited me into the living room with a smile on her face. As soon as I entered the door, I felt a strange smell in Xu Duobao's home, but for a while I couldn't explain why I felt like this.
"Oh, my brother, you are here. I miss you so much!"
Although Xu Duobao is about the same age as me, he always calls himself brother. Of course, when I was a kid, I also heard other classmates talk about it. It seemed that this guy had missed a grade. Even though he was in the same grade as me, he was a few years older than me.
However, as these words came out, I heard a series of coughs.
I looked for the sound and looked toward the bedroom.
Xu Duobao walked out of the bedroom while coughing, with a vague layer of miasma lingering around his body.
see it my
His brows furrowed slightly at that time. This thing should not appear in a place where living people live. The place where it appeared should be - a grave.
However, there are some things that I am not comfortable talking to Xu Duobao directly.
After all, this is Xu Duobao's home. I can't say, brother, did you sleep well in the coffin?
"Haha! Lao Xu, you look like this, has something happened to you recently?"
"Ahem, I'll tell you the truth! My mother was ill some time ago, which really troubled me." Xu Duobao said, pointing to the sofa and motioning for me to sit down.
I smiled politely at Xu Duobao, then turned around and walked towards the sofa. After seeing the miasma that shouldn't be here, I felt a little wary.
Sure enough, the moment I moved my legs, a stream of green smoke surged up from the ground and tried to wrap around my feet.
I remained silent. I just swayed my shoulders and quickly shifted my weight to the other foot. I quickly lifted the foot that was about to be entangled, crossed the green smoke, and sat down on the sofa.
However, before my butt could sit firmly, a scream came from across the coffee table.
I looked up and saw Lu Ping falling off the coffee table.
This coffee table is made of glass. It would be no small matter if it fell down. I didn't have time to think about it, so I jumped up quickly and held Lu Ping firmly before she hit the coffee table.
"Sister-in-law, what's wrong with you?"
"I, I don't know, why did I fall down for no reason, even though there was nothing?" Lu Ping looked at the ground with a puzzled look on her face, her eyes turned around her feet several times, but she found nothing.
She is different from me. She is just an ordinary person and cannot see the strange smoke that is causing trouble.
"Look at you! The older you get, the more useless you become. Fortunately, my brother is very strong. Otherwise, why don't you knock him out?" Xu Duobao inevitably made some accusations.
"Haha! Lao Xu, what are you talking about? My sister-in-law accidentally fell, so a brother shouldn't give me a hand?" I said this and naturally moved my hand away from Lu Ping's shoulder.
I moved my feet and sat back on the sofa, watching the movements around me with vigilant eyes. Looking at the strange smoke, it seemed that my arrival was not very welcome.
At this moment, a slight vibration caught my attention. I glanced out of the corner of my eye quietly and saw the unrelenting green smoke swirling around the fruit knife on the coffee table a few times before disappearing completely.
Inside the blade.
"It seems that I came at the wrong time today." I thought silently in my heart. It's not that it's too troublesome. Old Xu is my friend. It's my duty to help him avoid disasters. It's just that everything in the world is...
Coincidentally, I met this old friend in a foreign land, and encountered evil spirits, which was really unexpected.
"Lin Kun, I'm so sorry! Did I scare you just now? Look, on this rainy day, I even asked you to help me identify treasures. If you are frightened again in my place, then
I can't afford the punishment." Xu Duobao quickly apologized, "I never expected that you would be in Xi'an. What does it mean to meet thousands of miles away by fate? This is fate. I should have been there for you.
It’s dusty, but it’s really uncomfortable to have this mirror thing hanging over my heart, so I’ve neglected my etiquette today, and I’ll punish myself with three glasses of wine later!”
Xu Duobao didn't notice the abnormality of the fruit knife at all, and even asked me to talk.
I smiled at Xu Duobao quietly and raised my right hand slightly from my leg.
Chapter completed!
