With so many questions, Second Brother and I returned home. The first thing she did when she got home was to look for the notebook. But Second Brother and I have almost searched my house, but we can't find that notebook. I clearly remember that when I left, I casually threw that notebook on the counter, but why couldn't I find it?
Second Brother also searched for a long time but could not find it. Suddenly, Second Brother said,"Didn't someone come when we left? Could he have taken it?”Second Brother's words reminded me. I suddenly thought of that man. What left the deepest impression on me was that man's smile at me in the rearview mirror.
"That's not right, Second Brother. I was watching when that person came in. He only walked around the house a few times when he came in. I didn't see him take anything.”I asked in confusion. Indeed, I saw him walk around the house a few times. With my eyes, it's impossible that I didn't see him take something away.
" That's hard to say. Look at the thief. If he can be seen stealing, maybe that person is the thief," Second Brother retorted.
However, Second Brother is right. It's my fault for being too careless. At that time, I was only in a hurry to see that treasure and didn't guard against that person. This was great. He had wanted to find some clues in that book, but now it had been stolen.
The notebook is gone, so there's no other way. I discussed it with Second Brother and felt that this matter was a little strange. We decided to find someone who knows the ropes tomorrow to take a look at this undergarment. Second Brother didn't leave at night and stayed at my house. After lying on the bed, Second Brother told me something that I didn't notice.
"Xiao Shuang, I've never believed in evil, but do you know what I saw in Old Lady Liu's room today?”Second Brother suddenly asked me after he lay down.
I was curious too, so I joked,"Second Brother, did you see a ghost? You said you never believed in ghosts.”
Second Brother ignored me and continued," I just saw a ghost. When I was in Old Lady Liu's house, the village chief suddenly got up to talk to you. I saw that old lady behind the village chief. It turned out that she had been sitting in the same seat as the village chief. At that time, I broke out in a cold sweat. Later, the village chief asked us to come out. When we came out, I turned around and saw that the old lady was actually smiling at us. At that time, we followed the village chief out in a hurry.”
I was even more surprised after hearing it. "Second brother, is what you said true? Why didn't I see anything? Don't scare me in the middle of the night. I'm very timid.”
I'm a timid person to begin with. Hearing Second Brother say this, I'm really a little afraid. Although we're in our own home now, I'm still afraid.
"Xiao Shuang, when have I ever lied to you? This is true. I saw it clearly. We have to be careful in the future. Also, we have to get rid of that red undergarment as soon as possible. I don't think this is as simple as we think!”Second Brother lit a cigarette and said.
"Okay, Second Brother, I think so too. Besides, this undergarment was taken off from Old Lady Liu. It's unlucky to have something that belongs to a dead person.”I agreed.
When I woke up in the morning, Second Brother and I went to look for Blackie. In the past, when Second Brother received valuable goods, he usually looked for Blackie to sell them. Blackie had shifty eyes and a petite figure. However, people like him were very agile. There was also a big black mole on the right side of her face. It was because of this black-moled man that the people gave him the nickname Blackie.
Blackie lives in the town next to ours. It's not too far away. Second Brother and I drove for half an hour to Hei Zi's house.
When he came in, this black guy was rummaging through his worthless "treasures". When he saw us come in, he knew that we had brought him good goods. He greeted them with a smile." Brother Shuang, Second Brother, why do you have the time to come to my little temple? Haha, please come in."”
Second Brother and I have long been used to this person's style. He's simply a person who speaks human words and speaks ghost words.
"I brought you something good this time. It must be valuable.”I said.
"Brother Shuang is definitely telling the truth. There's no hurry.”Blackie said as he poured two cups of tea over.
Second Brother was a straightforward person. He walked to the door and closed it. Then, he said," This thing is valuable. Take a look at the goods first. The walls have ears. We'd better be careful."”
Blackie also knew this rule. When a good item was sold, it had to be kept a secret. Otherwise, if it was leaked, it would bring about a fatal disaster.
After closing the door, Liu took out the red undergarment from his backpack. He took it and let Blackie look at it. Blackie was also an expert. He took the undergarment and weighed it in his hand. Then, he brought it to his nose and smelled it. Then, he gently stroked it with his hand. After looking at it, he took out a mirror.(The "mirror" is a mirror that is used to look at antiques in our industry. It is shaped like a magnifying glass. However, there were three lenses stacked together so that he could see more carefully.）He looked carefully.
After roughly watching the time it took to smoke two more cigarettes, Blackie asked,"Where did this thing come from?"
Usually, buyers like Blackie would only look at the goods and not ask about the origin of the goods. Because many things were dug out from the cemetery by the grave robbers. She wouldn't tell him even if he asked.
Second Brother said," Blackie, I'm not afraid to tell you. This thing was exchanged in a mountain village. How is it? This thing is good, right?"？”
"Second brother, if I'm not mistaken, I've seen this thing before in my ancestors. Come in and let me take a look."”
After saying that, he brought us to the back room. This back room was where Blackie slept. Blackie took out a black iron box from under his bed. After opening it, he saw a thick account book.
Blackie held the account book and said," Every valuable item that my ancestors received was recorded in this book. I've read this book many times. I remember the records of the valuable treasures clearly.”
Blackie said as he opened the account book. After opening it, Blackie said,"Here, this is the page. Take a look for yourselves.”
Second Brother and I took the account book and looked at it." Received today: A red dudou, embroidered with a picture of a boy and a girl giving birth to a child. The workmanship is exquisite, and the patterns are meticulous. It was initially determined that this dudou should be from the Warring States Period. It was priceless. Consigned to: Zhang Da Gong."
"You mean, your ancestors received this?"”
"I'm not sure if it's the same thing. Continue reading."”
Second Brother and I continued to read. At the end was the record of Zhang Dagong's death. "Zhang Dagong died seven days after receiving the red undergarment. The cause of death is unknown. He was wearing a red dudou when he died. The family discussed and decided to bury this dudou with Zhang Dagong.”
According to the records, if this red undergarment was the same as the one recorded in the account book, then Blackie's ancestors had first obtained this item.
After reading it, Second Brother asked Hei Zi,"Hei Zi, you have to be careful. Is this the same thing as the one in your account book?"？”
Blackie said,"According to the records in this account and the thing I just saw, I'm sure this is one."”
Seeing Blackie speak so confidently, Second Brother and I also felt that this matter was really strange. Could it be that after this great merit died, his grave was robbed by Old Lady Liu's son? Then, this thing passed into the hands of Old Lady Liu.
Or was it Old Lady Liu's son who first discovered it and then sold it to Zhang Dagong? But if that was the case, then the undergarment was buried with Zhang Dagong. How did it appear in Old Lady Liu's house again?
If Old Lady Liu's son stole it from Zhang Dagong's grave, then who was the person who sold Zhang Dagong the red undergarment?
Second Brother and I didn't say anything. It seemed that we had both thought of this.
"Blackie, when did this Zhang Da Gong in the account book come from?”I asked Blackie.
"Brother Shuang, my ancestor opened an antique shop in this town. At that time, the family was big and powerful. This Zhang Da Gong can be considered my ancestor.”Blackie said.
Now that Hei Zi had proved that Zhang Dagong was from the late Qing Dynasty, the only possibility for this undergarment was that Old Lady Liu's son had robbed Zhang Dagong's grave. However, looking at the fabric of the dudou, how could it have been preserved until now? To put it another way, even if Old Lady Liu's son was a grave robber, after thinking about it carefully, which grave robber would take out a dead person's undergarment after entering?
