Chapter 26 "Lamp of the Earth" always knew nothing about him

never knew anything about him (1) 9 Ye Lan, I never knew anything about him.But I couldn't resist my curiosity about him.The first time I met him, I knew he was someone who would leave traces in my life.Kassan said to her on the phone. Ye Lan still didn't come back that summer vacation, and they talked on the phone.Kassan told her about his encounter with Canaan.After hearing this, Ye Lan said helplessly on the phone, Kasang, you really haven't grown up.You know that you know nothing about him, yet you say you are in love with him?Have you ever been in touch?He met you by chance and took you to dinner. Have you ever wondered if he has ulterior motives?

No, Ye Lan.I think I am different from you. Although you have been in love, I know that you may not really have anything to say. Ye Lan said, Kasang, if this is the case, I can't say anything, but you must promise me to protect yourself.You're not like me, who doesn't take any isolation situation lightly and recovers.From now on, you must protect yourself as bravely as you stood in front of me and fought for me.And you have to remember that no one is worthy of your trust.The only person you can rely on is yourself, especially when you meet someone you love.You know, definitely not everyone is as kind as your adoptive parents.

And, Kassan, for some reason, I always feel that you will no longer be my Kassan alone.Will you remember me. Kasang said, Ye Lan, if fate is full of traps, then it would be futile for us to avoid them.But traps are part of destiny.We are experiencing destiny, so we must have enough blindness and willingness to bear some choices.Besides, not everything is as bad as you think. When Kassan spent the summer vacation at home that summer, he had nothing to do.Jian Sheng is not at home, and Xin He is busy with work every day.Missing Canaan, she started writing him a few letters to the email address on her business card.She asked in the letter, where are you?When are you coming back?The tone is urgent, as if it is his relatives.

The whole summer vacation passed, but there was no reply. She was not disappointed, and was still willing to wait. When Canaan came to the school to look for her, it was not long after the school started.He came directly downstairs to her dormitory and waited.The teacher in the duty room informed her that someone wanted to see her downstairs. She asked strangely who the dorm supervisor was, and the middle-aged woman said impatiently that it was a man. Kassan went downstairs and saw Canaan leaning against his Porsche, smiling softly as she walked over. She blurted out in surprise, why are you here.

Canaan said, one of my buyers wants to ask an appraiser from the Expert Association to appraise the antiques he bought, and that appraiser happens to be an old professor in your department.I finally finished my work today, I sent him back from the dinner, and I came to see you by the way. Kassan, you've lost weight.He said to the girl, and reached out to stroke her shoulder.As if they were already very familiar with each other. Kassan was silent.In the dim light, the face was very blurred. There will be an auction exhibition of mine tomorrow, you can take you to see it.when are you free.

He didn't ask her about her intentions, but said directly, I'll take you to see her.As if she couldn't bear to refuse. Drive to pick her up the next day.When Kassan got into his car, he saw that he was wearing a thick Nepalese-style cotton shirt with faint dark patterns similar to religious totems. The neckline was slightly open, revealing the extraordinarily healthy skin on his neck.The fabric of the jacket has a slightly drapey texture, showing his perfect figure. He smoked along the way and chatted with her about light things.He said that many of the items in this auction were transported from Tibet by me.You might be interested.Are you still studying antiques, Cassan.

She was distracted like a child, her eyes kept wandering outside the window, and she didn't hear his question. The man was slightly surprised why she didn't answer, so he raised his head slightly, and saw from the rearview mirror hanging above his head that she was silent because she was distracted, and she was looking out the window innocently and intently.He found it very amused, and an indifferent smile appeared on his face. At the sample meeting, he took her on a tour. Cassan, you see, these ancient objects eroded by time, we trade at high prices for naked and simple purposes.If ancient is noble, then some people will do anything to forge the texture of time and history.I have dealt with countless fakes.If people like the chicken-bone whiteness of the ancient jade hidden in the ground for many years of erosion, they can put the new jade into the fire and bake it to make it gradually gray.If you want the beautiful jade handed down from ancient times to produce the color accumulated by absorbing the rust, you can make the new jade into the shape of an ancient vessel, implant it into a live lamb leg, wait for several years after sewing, and take it out again to make it appear dark red blood pattern.If you want the chalcedony to reveal the black canthus that was infected by the miasma in the tomb, you can put the inferior jade and gold and silver together and bury it in the soil. The color of stagnation... These are already the clumsy skills of judging the eye. Those who work on this plan can truly make the fake fake out of the real one and make it difficult to distinguish.From ancient times to the present, those who distinguish falsehoods have exhausted their wisdom, and there is no end to it.And in this world, if time can be faked, then what else is true.

At the exhibition, Canaan stood beside Kasang and spoke to her. And she wondered in her heart whether the person in front of her was real.He just stared at the expensive jade in front of him, smiling slightly.There is a frivolous and free and easy sense of escape in the expression.Knowing that this young girl was different from what he had encountered in the past, he had enough patience and interest to capture her, as if it could make his life new. At that time, Kassan didn't know that he was such a tired person who desperately needed new ideas to fill him up. Growing up in a religious country.Has a huge family.Before the abolition of the hierarchy, his father was the head of a Vaishya caste family in Nepal and had five wives.One of the wives is a Tibetan girl.Canaan is the son of the Tibetan-Nebean mixed race.

That's how he spoke of his mother to her.She is very beautiful and is the treasure that my father loves most in his life.The mother lived alone in a long distance, and after she got married, she became a forbearing and hard-working ordinary woman, working all day for this prosperous family. Never knew anything about him (2) Canaan's mother is extremely beautiful, so he was able to inherit a handsome appearance and was also exceptionally intelligent. In the whole big family, his father loved his mother and him the most.Traditionally, the Vaishya caste is generally engaged in business, and the same is true for the Canaan family. Their ancestors have been in business for generations, managed poorly, purchased land, and gradually accumulated their family business.Although not as noble as a Brahmin, his family is well off.After the abolition of the caste system in Nepal in the 1990s, their family was freed from many shackles, and their family situation became better and better, with a large area of ​​real estate.The women of the family opened many restaurants with hired help, and most of the sons grew up to be successful in business and politics.And Canaan's father has been engaged in the black market antique trading industry since his early years, and is well-known as a supplier throughout South Asia.

Canaan told her that because of his preference, my father sponsored me to go to Singapore to attend middle school and university.My father wanted me to go into politics in the future, so I accepted his request and studied law.But I admit that I have no interest in it, nor talent. The only thing he gained during college was learning English, Chinese, and Italian.Coupled with the Nepali and Tibetan languages ​​he already knows, he can be said to be a language genius.After graduation, Canaan got involved in the black market antique business with his father.For a long time in the past, the piracy of cultural relics was basically unmanaged. My father transferred a large number of Angkor cultural relics from Cambodia to Europe and made huge profits.Later, Nepal and other countries began to ban the export of important cultural relics. The network of their bribes and bribes sometimes appeared flaws due to unforeseen events, and smuggling became more and more dangerous. come smaller.As his father was aging, Canaan took over from him and began to officially open antique shops all over the world, with a unique Tibetan style, which is very eye-catching.They sell legally exported artifacts and some decorative imitation antiques to curious foreigners, while secretly taking bookings from buyers, scouring antique loose markets around the world, buying antique treasures from grave robbers, or participating in international competitions. intermediary trade.His branches are located in Beijing, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Japan, Israel, Turkey, Italy, and Saudi Arabia.The best business is in Saudi Arabia and southern Italy, where the oil tycoons and the Mafia gather respectively, and those wealthy stealthy buyers are often unexpectedly decisive and generous.

Canaan happily told her about the time when he sold his first antique in Italy a few years ago. An ordinary stone stool from the late Qing Dynasty that he transported from Beijing, with dragon and phoenix patterns carved on it, only cost 8,000 yuan including transportation.At that time, Italy was a poor country in Europe, but there were many mafias in the south.He remembered that the sun was very hot that day, a car stopped in front of the shop, and a fat man in a light-colored suit walked into the shop, looking curiously at the antiques in the shop like a child.He went out quickly without saying a word. A few days later, a stern horse boy in a black robe came into the shop. I don't know if it was because the owner was too rich or he didn't know the market. He pointed at the stone bench and let him make any bids.The end result was a $20,000 deal.Ma Zai immediately threw out the cash calmly, then moved the stone bench to the car and walked away. When he said this, the two of them were still eating in the restaurant. Canaan talked humorously, and Kasan was fascinated by the legendary experience.There was a childlike slyness in his eyes. On the way they left after dinner that night, the two of them changed the atmosphere of talking and laughing at the dinner table and became silent.The sky was already dark, and there was nothing but lights, as if everything in front of me was an illusion of light.She only felt drowsy in the car in Canaan, and her eyes wandered out of the window wearily.While the car was speeding, the headlights of the car were shining brightly on the face.This is the city of Beijing at night.Kassan seemed to have suddenly returned to the night when he was brought to Beijing by his adoptive parents.That was the first time she saw a real city, the brightly lit gorgeousness and desolation made people feel frightened by its own smallness and meagerness. But the land in her memory is getting farther and farther away, as if there is only a vast expanse of snowy land under the cold moonlight left in her memory, revealing a vague shadow in the bleakest dream. Canaan's voice suddenly sounded.Kassan, is it still too late for you to go back to school now?The man asked her tentatively. His intention in inviting her to his home was obvious.Kassan said, in time.And I have to go back at night. The man stopped talking.He smiled secretly, when did he become so gentle and patient about getting a woman. When getting off the car at the school gate, the man got out of the car and stopped Kassan. There was no hesitation, just a moment of hugs and kisses.Kassan couldn't break free in his arms.The smell of the strange man and the panic of the sudden approach of body temperature still made her unreasonably frightened and uneasy.When Canaan let her go, he found that she was crying like a frightened bird. He didn't ask her what was wrong, and didn't even bother to guess whether she was moved or scared.He told her, I'm going to leave Beijing for a few days, if you miss me, please contact me. Canaan turned and left, got into the car, and disappeared into the night.
