Cheng Qingyu was very impressed by Ye Fan's words, but his face showed disdain. He snorted and said,"You say it so beautifully, but I don't know if it will work in practice.”
Ye Fan just smiled indifferently and did not say anything else. Seeing that the noodles were already cold, he lowered his head and continued eating.
After eating, Ye Fan went over to pay the bill and said to the two beauties,"I won't disturb your elegant mood. Goodbye.”
Su Bingyan's eyes revealed reluctance. However, she had only just met Ye Fan, so she was embarrassed to show it. She lowered her head and said goodbye.
Cheng Qingyu was not as shy as Su Bingyan. She knew that if she wanted to find Ye Fan, she could go to the antique market. Her beautiful face was full of smiles as she said,"Alright, we should go back now. Thank you for treating us to a big meal today.”
Early the next morning, Ye Fan packed his things as usual and came to the ancient garden early to set up his stall.
Just as the stall was set up, a group of people had already swarmed over. One of the older sisters, who was about 30 years old, took the initiative to sit down and handed a bronze cup to Ye Fan. Her slightly chubby face was filled with a smile."Master, can you help me take a look at this thing?”
Ye Fan took it and held it in his hand to feel it. He didn't find any spiritual qi flowing inside. He took a closer look and returned the bronze cup to the woman, saying,"Big sister, something is wrong. It's fake.”
The woman's smile froze. After being stunned for dozens of seconds, she stuffed the cup back into Ye Fan's hand. Her face was a little pale, and cold sweat broke out. She said anxiously,"Master, take a closer look. Don't make a mistake.”
Ye Fan didn't take the bronze goblet. He shook his head and said,"Big sister, it's absolutely correct. The surface of your Jue cup has red spots and green rust, which does look like something from the Xia and Shang dynasties. But if you look closely, this red spots and green rust are made using modern methods. Look here, there are traces of acid corrosion.”
As he spoke, Ye Fan pointed at a rusty spot on the bronze goblet and continued,"If you don't believe me, I can prove it to you.”
Some busybodies around them jeered,"Master, how do you prove it? Let us open our eyes."?”
The woman also said,"Master, then prove it."”
Ye Fan didn't say anything. He took the cup and gently peeled off a piece of rust on it, saying,"Big sister, smell it. Is there a faint pungent smell?”
The woman was a little hesitant, but she still took it. She put it to her nose and smelled it. It was indeed a little pungent, so she couldn't help but nod.
Ye Fan smiled and said," This faint pungent smell is caused by copper and acid. If you still don't believe me, you can go home and try it yourself. Put copper into vinegar. In less than half a month, it will have such an effect."”
The woman held the cup in her hand in disappointment and threw down a hundred yuan. Without saying a word, she turned around and left. Next, two more people took things for Ye Fan to identify, but they were basically rejected by him. The surrounding people clearly knew Ye Fan's rules and dispersed with sighs.
Ye Fan was about to pack his things and walk around to see if he could get something from the stall when he looked up and saw someone standing.
Seeing this person, Ye Fan was stunned. Wasn't this the honest farmer from a few days ago? He smiled and said,"Big brother, why are you here again? Do you have something you want me to help you sell again?”
The man shook his head, squatted down, and said in a low voice,""Master, I'm not here to sell anything. I want to invite you to our village.”
Ye Fan was stunned again.”
The man nodded solemnly." Yes, Master. I'll tell you the truth. Do you know how I got you to sell that thing?"”
Ye Fan also roughly knew a little. From the last time he saw that jade token, he had determined that the jade token was definitely a Dark Artifact. It must have come out from underground.
As expected, the man continued,"That thing was picked up from a hillside. Three months ago, there was a heavy rain there. The heavy rain washed away a section of the hillside. After the hillside collapsed, a few people from the same village and I happened to pass by and found a big hole. So we bravely climbed in and found that it was an ancient tomb. There were many porcelain bottles, porcelain jars, and many iron lumps. Yes, just like the thing that the woman had just taken.”
Ye Fan almost fainted. How was that an iron lump? Those were all bronze artifacts. However, it wasn't strange when he thought about it. He was a farmer. Where had he seen these things before? It wasn't strange for him to think that they were iron lumps.
The man continued," We walked around and found a lot of the cards you saw last time. Then we secretly took them home. We didn't expect them to be so valuable."”
Ye Fan was excited. It seemed that the ancient tomb that this man had discovered was definitely the tomb of an ancient emperor or royal relative. The things inside were all national treasures. These things had been hidden underground for more than a thousand years. Once the traffickers of cultural relics took a fancy to them, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Calming down his excitement, Ye Fan said with a solemn expression,"Big Brother, did you tell anyone about this?”
The man looked nervous. He secretly glanced around and said,"That card was so valuable, but I didn't dare to say it. Even my mother-in-law and those few people didn't dare to say it.”
Ye Fan let out a long sigh of relief and said,"Big Brother, I'll go over with you immediately after I'm done packing.”
Just as he was packing up, Cheng Qingyu appeared out of nowhere and said with a smile,""Comrade Little Ye, it seems that you have completed your three tasks today. Haha, should you treat me to a meal?”
Damn, women really only think about food all day long.
Ye Fan was thinking about the ancient tomb that the man mentioned and was not in the mood to joke with Cheng Qingyu. As he packed his things, he said,"I still have something to do today. I'm not free."
Ye Fan's cold attitude did not arouse Cheng Qingyu's dissatisfaction. He still smiled like a flower and said,"What is it?"
The matter of the ancient tomb was of great importance. The fewer people who knew about it, the better. Ye Fan did not want Cheng Qingyu to know, so he said indifferently,"Dealing with some personal matters."
When Cheng Qingyu came over, she found Ye Fan whispering to this rustic man. Seeing that Ye Fan didn't want her to know anything, she changed her direction and said to the man,"Big brother, where are you from?"
When Ye Fan was packing his things, the man stood up and stood to the side. When he heard Cheng Qingyu ask him a question and saw Cheng Qingyu's beautiful face, he panicked and stammered,"I, I'm from Xilin County's Huang Village.”
Ye Fan was really afraid that this honest man would tell Cheng Qingyu the truth, so he quickly interrupted the man and said,"Big brother, let's go."
Cheng Qingyu was intelligent. When she saw this situation, she knew that Ye Fan was definitely hiding something from her. Her pretty face looked very unhappy. She pouted her red little mouth and said domineeringly,"No, if you don't tell me today, don't even think about going there.”
No matter how Ye Fan tried to explain, he was even a little angry, but Cheng Qingyu still stopped him. In public, Ye Fan really did not dare to do anything to Cheng Qingyu. He had no choice but to explain the whole story to her and make sure she did not tell anyone.
After Cheng Qingyu heard this, he was so excited that he wanted to go with Ye Fan. "You still have to go to school, so don't go."”
Cheng Qingyu giggled." It's fine. I'm preparing for my internship soon anyway. I'll just let the teacher know."”
Cheng Qingyu studied archaeology, so she might be able to help if she went. Anyway, she already knew about it, so she could go. She had no choice but to agree.
After packing up, Ye Fan led the two of them back to the hostel and put their things away. Then, he ate with the two of them and went straight to the station. During this period, Cheng Qingyu called the teacher and lied that she was going to an internship at a company.
Xilin County was an undeveloped county in the westernmost part of Gan Ning Province, about 300 kilometers away from Lan Ning City.
After nearly five hours of bumpy journey, the car finally arrived at Xilin County. After getting out of the car, the three of them did not stop. Huang Linsheng. On the way, Ye Fan learned that the man's name was Huang Linsheng.〕He wanted to find a ride, but he couldn't find it for a long time. Ye Fan did not want to waste time, so he took a taxi and headed towards the Huang Village.
