Chapter 6 Chapter 5 Grave Head Village

In just a few months, Da Jinya ruined Yiyuanzhai's reputation, and his brothers became rats crossing the street, everyone shouted and beat them.If this matter hadn't been put on me, I would have admired him so much that I would call him "big brother" with all my heart and soul. It is such a big movement that most people would not be able to deal with it.I looked at Lin Kui and said, "Our trip back to Nanjing is to find out what happened and clear up this innocent injustice. Brother Lin, if you know something inside, you may as well tell it directly." He waved his hand and said that he didn't dare to be an insider, and he also listened to it from the outside one after another.After finishing speaking, he sorted out his thoughts, and said to us slowly: "This matter, we have to start from the Antique Festival a year ago..."

I know about the Confucian Temple Antique Festival. Since the scenic spot was renovated, the government has put a lot of effort into attracting investment in the Confucius Temple scenic area.The Antique Festival is one of the gimmicks. Every first lunar month, the Confucius Temple Antique Festival will be held for a week. With the local special snacks and folk crafts in Jinling, the annual Antique Festival is very impressive.You must know that there are hundreds of antique shops in the Confucius Temple. With such a big festival, there are thousands of tourists, who would not take this opportunity to dispose of the old goods on hand.I vaguely remember that there seemed to be a batch of fakes in the store that were damaged. Could it be that the problem lies here?But even if Da Jinya took the opportunity to open his mouth and make a fortune, it would not be an oolong like closing down the shop and arresting him.Lin Kui can't say too much about the specific situation.I just heard a chat with a friend who was at the Chaotian Palace stall, saying that a group of Xinjiang guys of unknown origin appeared at the Antique Festival.The tone was very arrogant, saying that the goods in their hands were rare objects found from the sky.Only the big experts who can afford the price will be exchanged.Where is the Confucius Temple? Hidden dragons, crouching tigers gather together, and there is no story behind any banner.At first glance, many people couldn't help laughing at the other party's tone of voice.A few tricksters even spoke sarcasm, telling the Xinjiang guys to take out their things for a walk.I don't want those fools to ignore all the big and small people present, until the guy from Bawangdian Yiyuanzhai came to invite them, then moved their buttocks and entered the Lingxing Gate.As for what happened afterwards, whether it was a deal with Yiyuanzhai, outsiders naturally don't know.When Dr. Lin said this, he paused. Shirley Yang frowned and said, "Could it be that there is a problem with the products of these Xinjiang people?"

The fat man slapped his leg: "I knew Da Jinya was unreliable. He is an old money junkie who has an eye for money. If he catches him later, I will copy all his black-hearted money." I recalled what was on the radio, and it seemed that it was indeed related to the smuggling of cultural relics.Listening to Dr. Lin's words again, it's the big golden tooth who can't run away because he has the guts to get into such head-scratching troubles by accepting things of unknown origin.Fortunately, he was clever and knew how to get out in time.It's just that those of us who don't know the truth have suffered so much that we became scapegoats and were chased all over Nanjing.The old lady of the Lin family was a generous person, and she didn't ask us for details, she just said that the people in the thatched cottage had come forward to find the big gold tooth, and told us to stay at ease first.He also ordered his servants to report to each family, only saying that it was a false alarm that they were not guests from the capital, and told them not to run to the thatched cottage, and then arranged for us to go to the guest room to rest.After tossing and tossing all night, my muscles and bones have long since fallen apart, and I didn't care about the shame of face. After thanking the old lady in the hall, I went into the guest room and fell asleep.This sleep was very sound and sweet, and when I woke up, I couldn't tell where I was.As soon as I got up, I felt a strange pain in my arms and waist, as if I had run a 25,000-mile long march, and I almost fell off the wooden bed.It took me a long time to react after getting up, before I remembered the series of twists and turns of opportunities last night.Seeing that the sun seemed to be getting late, I dug out a suit of clean clothes from my bag, and prepared to change into them before going out to have a look.At this moment, someone called out from the door of the room: "Master Hu, are you awake? There is news from Missy, please come over."

As soon as I heard Ah Song's voice, I hurriedly put on my coat, opened the door and asked, "What, it's the news about Da Jinya?" Ah Song is still wearing a black coat today, and when he talked, he squinted his eyes like a big loach: "That's right! Last night, as soon as you lay down, the eldest lady sent us away." Run errands to find out the news. Hehe, in the land of Jinling City, let alone find a living person with a name and surname, even a corpse buried in the ground and nailed into a coffin, we can dig it out for you." I saw that although his face was full of smiles, his skin color was dark and his trouser legs were covered with mud spots. I knew he must have been tossing and tossing all night, so I hurriedly thanked him.Ah Song smiled and said, "Oh, they are all our own people, and we still have something to rely on in the future."

After finishing speaking, he pointed to the front hall, "The others are waiting for you to eat breakfast, Mr. Hu, you should go quickly. Shuiximen's salted duck with millet porridge is delicious." As soon as he entered the front hall, he could see the room was full of hot air, and the four carved copper stoves were filled with fiery red cinders. Shirley Yang changed into a silk flower jacket that is common in the south, and sat around the Eight Immortals table with Fatty and Qin Siyan.The fat man was holding a whole duck leg in his mouth. When he saw me coming, he yelled, "Why did you get up? The porridge is cold. Waiting for you to have a good meeting. Come and taste this big fat duck..."

In the middle of speaking, the duck leg almost fell off, and he quickly caught it with his hands, sucking down even the belt bone.I said, "The way you eat is too bluffing. It's like a black bear swallowing yam. You swallow all the good things in such a mouthful. Can you taste the taste? You only know that food is wasted." "Eh? Old Hu, it's only been one night. How come you got half a basket full of nonsense, and you squeezed against your own people. The thief is like the son of a landlord's family." "Okay, okay, early in the morning, calm down."

Shirley Yang moved the chair away, "The old lady of the Lin family is waiting inside. I guess there is news from Big Gold Tooth. After you finish your meal, we will go there in a while." Qin Siyan sat aside, with a small mouthful of white porridge left in the bowl.Holding the newspaper in his hand, his brows never loosened.I asked him if the glorious deeds of the few of us had been published in the newspapers.He pushed up his glasses: "You don't even need to ask, it's written in black and white, and the whole page is full. Even the story of you touching sweet potatoes in other people's fields when you were a soldier is revealed. Shopkeeper, I don't think Nanjing can stay any longer. Hurry up and take care of things in Yunnan."

As he spoke, he handed over the newspaper. When I saw the big headlines on the page, I almost spit out the hot porridge in my mouth.The fat man came over to take a look, patted his legs and said, "Damn it, this is slander, naked slander! I burn their newspaper office to death. Whoever is collaborating with the enemy and banditry in the village, who is the landlord's old fortune, damn it, which grandson wrote this?" , his whole family is like a dog!" I comforted him by saying that everything was just media opinion, and that the reporter imagined it to make a living.But I also feel uncomfortable in my heart. Anyway, I am a person who has stood guard for the country and fired guns. He made such a fuss for no reason.When I first entered the industry, I wasn't afraid of accidents at all, I just thought I had a bowl-sized scar on my head, but the soft knife full of paper in front of me was really painful to stab people.I don’t know if the two elders of my family have also seen it. My father’s bones are so tough. If he really knew about this, he would probably be so angry that he would hunt me down all over the socialist country.A good breakfast was disturbed to the point of losing interest.I took a quick bite and went straight to Mrs. Lin's room.The most important thing right now is to find the big golden tooth and understand the cause and effect of the matter. Even if you are a ghost, you can't be a dead ghost.As soon as I stepped out of the gate of the flower hall, old lady Lin's voice hung up from a distance, and the accent sounded like a Beijing opera.The fat man asked me which one it was, and I said it wasn't like a model play anyway, and the libretto might be an obscene excerpt from Old Lai Qiaosi Dong Lang or something like that.Siyan coughed: "I heard Second Master Xue practiced this part, Farewell My Concubine."

I said "oh", and said in my heart that it was not serious after all.At this time, Lin Kui poked his head upstairs from upstairs holding his big tabby cat. Shirley Yang beckoned to him.He laughed and said, "Grandma is practicing voice in the medicine house. Let's go together." It was only then that I found out that Mrs. Lin was not in the house, so my trip was almost in vain.The Lin family's thatched cottage seems to have a panoramic view of the front shop and the back house, but if you really want to be in it, it will take a lot of effort to walk around.The whole house is separated by flowers, plants, mountains and rocks, which makes people dazzled.Guang walked behind Dr. Lin, his eyes slowly began to blur.The fat man kept muttering that flowers and plants were just for girls.I told him not to underestimate the layout of the Lin Family Cottage.There is a lot of attention here, if there are no acquaintances to lead the way, ordinary people will definitely be trapped to death inside.Fatty said that you want to deceive me again, and he heard the storytelling jokes learned from the old Huang at the entrance of the village. Is there really a gossip in the storybook under the sun?Even if there is, it has been a while since Lao Kong died, so who would use it?I thought about it for a long time, but I didn't remember that Confucius had any trouble with the Three Kingdoms, so I asked him which old Confucius.The fat man said surprisingly: "You are uneducated, old Kong, Wolong Kongming!"

Lin Kui walked ahead, amused by the fat man, the cat in his arms stabbed and jumped out again.I saw that the cat had a strong figure and looked like a dragon and a tiger between its thumps, so I couldn't help but yelled "Hello".Lin Kui deliberately stopped and asked, "Master Hu knows cats?" I said, "Look at the cat and look at the hurdles. The older generation knows that cats have hurdles in their mouths, and they are divided into three, five, seven, nine, four, etc. Nine Kan cats catch mice all year round, and they are the most diligent." Qin Siyan didn't know anything about the art of matching cats, so he was very curious to hear what I said, and wanted to grab Lin Kui's tiger skin to verify it.It's a pity that the big tabby cat is so alert, it doesn't pay attention to the barrister at all, with a flick of its long tail, it leaps onto the eaves with its four eyes on the bridge of its nose.Lin Kui said: "Pure color is the most important thing for a cat. Its body shape should be like a fox, and its face like a tiger. Its fur is soft and sharp, its beard is straight, and its palate is sharp. This is an extremely good cat. As for me..."

"According to what you said, this tiger skin is a bit fat, and it's not as slender as a fox. I guess it's because it usually eats too well," I comforted him, "It's enough to be hungry for a few meals." As soon as he finished speaking, the tiger skin arched his waist and jumped towards me as if he could understand human words.I lowered my head to avoid it, but the long and thick cat's tail hurt my cheek, and I was horrified, how could an ordinary house cat have such strength.Looking at its two big copper bell eyes staring like light bulbs, it immediately asked, "What kind of breed is this? It's so aggressive." "This is a tiger species made from mountain raccoons. It's only half a month old, and the milk hasn't stopped yet." Mrs. Lin was dressed in a green dress, and she abducted from nowhere.We were so focused on discussing the tiger cat just now that we didn't pay attention to our surroundings.As soon as I heard that the tiger skin had an extraordinary origin, I glanced at Lin Kui. This kid knew it was strange but still teased my old man, it's really not kind.The old lady shook her sleeves: "You guys, go and collect your things, Ah Song is waiting at the back door." I was dumbfounded when I heard it, where is this?You just arrived for a while, why did you want to drive us away, didn't you say there was news about Da Jinya?Lin Kui hugged the flower cat into his arms: "I forgot to tell you just now, that brother Jin is in Yangshan. If you want to find him, you have to go to the grave village." I have been in Nanjing for a while, and I am no stranger to Yangshan stele materials.It was a national project abandoned halfway during Ming Chengzu's period, and it was built in memory of Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang.Not to mention the cost of life and money, the key is that even Zhu Di himself went to Beijing later, leaving only this unfinished No. 1 Monument in the World.This stele excavated in honor of Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang is divided into three parts: the body of the stele, the base of the stele and the forehead of the stele. It weighs tens of thousands of tons and is more than 70 meters high.In order to build this monument, countless craftsmen died of exhaustion and illness.It is said that the craftsmen buried in the pit outside the quarry are as big as a farm, so the quarry at the southern foot of Yangshan Mountain is also known as Tomb Village, but it was abandoned as early as 800 years ago.When he first heard that the big golden tooth hid in that ghostly place, the fat man hated him so much that his teeth itch.I said that Nanjing City is not big or small.He hid in Yangshan, maybe it was a helpless move, a way to save his life.No matter what, they are all my own people. If I hadn't entrusted him with the shop, he wouldn't have suffered this kind of crime.Let's not talk nonsense, it is important to find someone. Mrs. Lin clapped her hands and said: "I just like your temper. From now on, if anyone dares to say that Hu Bayi smuggled national weapons for money, then I will be the first to not believe it. Don't be afraid of those rumors outside. My name is Ah Song sent you up the mountain, it only took about an hour to drive there, and you came and went very quickly, you found someone, and you came to live with me, but I don’t believe anyone would dare to go to the Lin family to get someone!" I thanked Mrs. Lin for her kindness, but I had other plans in my heart.Occupying the Lin family is not a long-term solution, with lawsuits hanging over their heads, no one can sleep well.I've thought about it a long time ago, I'll go to Da Jinya to sort things out first, and it's best to give the government an explanation. If I really can't figure it out, then I won't bother, and I will get down one by one, and settle the matter in Yunnan first. It's not too late to come back and reverse the case.Maybe in the future, he will be like old man Sang, so he can only go far away and be a fugitive for the rest of his life.Thinking about that scene, I almost burst into tears.Thinking of this, I took a look at Shirley Yang and felt that she was really dragging her down. A girl like a flower hangs around with me all day without doing much serious business. Be a hacker.I let out a long sigh, and she naturally didn't know the burden in my heart, so she punched me with a face full of resentment, saying that I was messed up again.I didn't bother to explain, so I called Fatty and the others together for a meeting. "Part ways! Old Hu, are you crazy?" The fat man swayed his thighs and put his foot on the bench. "I haven't achieved anything yet, so I'm thinking about breaking up the partnership?" I said the fat man calmed down, I was prepared and planned. Shirley Yang didn't understand what I meant either, so he frowned and asked, "When you were in the United States, you kept saying that you wanted to come back to find someone. Now that you've got some eyebrows, why did you go back on your word?" "Of course people are looking for them, but it's not you who are looking for them." I patted the table, and the morning newspaper was still there, "The wind outside is tight, you go one day earlier, it's one day. I mean, I've been exposed anyway, and I stayed here to look for Da Jinya to turn around. You guys What? Bind here with me, first to show off, and second, to waste. We might as well go our separate ways and go to Yunnan with a team to start the matter of inquiring about Gu worms; Teeth. In this way, there will be no delay on both sides, and everyone will be suffocated to death in a pit." Shirley Yang and Shirley Yang met four eyes, and they were silent for a long time. Shirley Yang said, "This method is not impossible. But who will leave and who will stay, still needs to be discussed." The fat man said that there is nothing to discuss, you and Siyan go first.Here in Nanjing, I will accompany Lao Hu. When I find the big gold tooth, I will definitely give him a big ear shave for everyone. "No, it's better for you to go. I'll stay with the shopkeeper." Four Eyes hadn't said much before, and when he opened his mouth, he was immediately refuted by others.Fatty was of course the first one to vote against: "Why are you joining in the fun? Once you go up the mountain, it's not enough for a mountain raccoon to eat two bites." "Finding someone is only one aspect. The key shopkeeper is now facing a government lawsuit. I'm not here to guard it. If you fall into it, none of you will be useful." Shirley Yang said: "Old Hu couldn't stay because he was afraid of accidents. From my point of view, you should go first. I'll look for Big Gold Tooth. After all, there are several members of the Lin family by my side, so it shouldn't be a problem." The three of them fought endlessly.I said to Shirley Yang: "The matter of going up the mountain has been decided, and no one can stop me. As for Yunnan, I still hope that you and Fatty can take the first step and be the vanguard." Seeing that the fat man was about to stare, I quickly held him down and continued, "Don't rush to yell. The trip to Yunnan depends on the two of you. He really can't do it with four eyes. The reason, let me tell you slowly..." Shirley Yang is the only one of us who has personally come into contact with the poisonous Gu.The purpose of going to Yunnan was to identify the Gu that was taken from her body, so she had to go.As for letting Siyan stay, it was indeed out of my own selfishness. I wanted to use the Lin family's strength and Siyan's expertise to clear up the charge of smuggling national treasures after I found someone.So I want to keep this barrister by my side. The tiger in the forest is certainly terrifying, but no matter how poisonous it is, it is no more poisonous than a wolf in human skin.With him around, at least he has the confidence to fight in the hall, and he won't let others slaughter him.The few of them listened to my words, no matter whether they were convinced or not, Shen Sheng acquiesced anyway.In the end, it was decided that Shirley Yang and Fatty would take the first step and go to Yunnan to meet the master who collected the voodoo.As for Qin Siyan and I, A Song led the way to Yangshan Fendou Village to find Da Jinya.Before leaving, Shirley Yang repeatedly told me that regardless of whether things in Nanjing can be completed or not, as soon as I find someone, I will immediately go to Yunnan to meet her.They will wait for me in Kunming for ten days, and if we don't see anyone again, we will go to Jiangcheng to meet.The fat man secretly stuffed his gold-touching talisman into my hand, saying it was for self-defense.I said that my brothers did not enter Yangshan Mountain for the sake of making money, so why do you want it.The fat man said I was stupid, where in the village of Grave Head, in the burial ground in ancient times, many people who died of exhaustion and unjust death were put there to rot.The hundreds of years of resentment accumulated, that's fine.In case there are some white-haired old men who don't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth want to rebel, you might as well show your prestige.I said that it is so unreasonable how to say it in your mouth.But I still accepted the golden talisman, because of the kindness of being a brother, even if it's just a piece of shit, I have to go on with it.Yangshan Monument is 20 to 30 kilometers away from the urban area.In the car, I asked Ah Song how he found the big gold tooth.He stepped on the gas pedal under his feet and said: "It was an unreasonable thing at first. It happened that there was a guy in the branch store who went to Yangshan to collect medicinal materials. When he came back, he chatted with me and said that there was a new face in the village of Fendou recently. That ghost place, all the year round The sky was dark and cloudy, and on weekdays there were only a few homeless people around. At night, there was no living person. He saw that the other party didn't look like a Sanwu personnel wandering around the streets, so he went up to chat .And guess what, as soon as I opened my mouth, I saw a big gold tooth..." A Song laughed, "As soon as I heard it, I felt that there was a door. I rushed back before dawn. I was afraid of disturbing everyone's rest, so I stayed in the car for half the night. I didn't come in to report until I heard the eldest lady practicing her voice." We are riding in a small truck today, and it smells like medicinal herbs.The four eyes were not used to the taste of traditional Chinese medicine, so they kept sneezing.He asked casually: "Since that place is so desolate, what medicinal materials did you go to collect?" Asong's face tightened first, and he glanced at us warily.My heart is broken, it seems that there are some rare medicinal herbs that outsiders don't know grow in that place.He made a slip of the tongue and provided the supply of the thatched cottage, just to beware that we will divide the thatched cottage's business in the future.In order to avoid Ah Song's suspicion, I hurriedly said: "My brother doesn't understand the rules. If it's inconvenient, you can assume that he didn't ask anything." A Song glanced at the rear mirror, and said in a low voice: "Actually, it's not a big secret. It's just... you two really don't know where we're going, and what kind of medicine is it rich in?" I laughed: "Look at what you said, we are in the antique business, how can we know the price of medicinal materials?" Seeing his serious expression, I deliberately joked, and asked, "Isn't it just a quarry? Why, can it be the ginseng fruit of immortality?" A Song shook his head: "It seems that you really don't know how powerful it is. To tell you the truth, there is old stiffness in that place."
