On the way back, I didn't see Grandpa, and he didn't get out of the car. Other than eating and sleeping, she rarely saw him even when she went to the toilet. The journey back was more comfortable, but it was very humid. The cool breeze in the car was to make the baby dry. However, it was this cool breeze that made the car very damp and cold. Uncle said,"It's better to be cold than hot!" If it was cold, the sheepskin book could be preserved for a longer time!”
We basically changed the oilpaper every two or three hours. When we passed Turpan, the weather was hot and dry. Uncle used a lot of oilpaper to wrap the treasures one by one like dumplings.
On the way back, I kept asking about Grandpa. Uncle said,"It's okay! I really shouldn't have dug up that grave this time. This is the ghost in the grave that Grandpa mentioned!”
I was shocked and asked,"You said there was a ghost in the grave?"”
"It's not a ghost, it's a demon!"”
I didn't understand. Uncle said,"It's the inner demon!"”
I didn't say anything. I thought about it. This inner demon was probably making grandfather unable to sleep or eat. What exactly happened to him down there? Did he open the coffin or not? If he did, what was inside that made him so nostalgic? This became an eternal mystery!
The journey back was still very long. When we entered Urumchi, we separated again. Grandpa stayed in Urumchi alone without bringing anyone. At first, my uncle and I took the jeep. Later, I felt that it was really boring to be with him, so I switched to my second uncle's rotten van. I wanted to get closer to Sister Hua, but she ran to Uncle's jeep and left me with Second Uncle and Little Uncle. I'm quite happy. It's much better to brag with them than to be with that blockhead uncle. I can't imagine if uncle and Sister Hua can even talk ten sentences together.
Later, I made a bet with my uncle. I bet that uncle and Sis Hua wouldn't even say ten words on the way. My uncle said that they would have a good time chatting. Our bet is an antique.
When we were about to reach home, I asked Uncle,""Did Sis Hua say anything to you in the car?”
He looked at me like I was a monster." I didn't say anything!”
I couldn't tell if he had said anything. I asked again,"Did you speak?"
"Yes!" said the uncle.
"Did you say more than ten sentences?"”
He directly dismissed me with the word " bored ", and our bet ended in failure.
When I got home, my father picked me up and looked at me as if I was an alien. He even pulled two branches from outside and patted me on the body. I looked at the branches and felt as if I had missed something, but I couldn't remember. It wasn't until I finished showering and sat at the dining table eating fried mutton that I remembered what had happened. I jumped up and shouted,"I remember!" Where's my unmarried sheep!"
"What unmarried sheep?" Goat meat! What's wrong?"
I quickly said,"I'm not eating anymore!" I want to find someone to eat well!"
Dad still wanted to ask me something, but seeing that I was in such a hurry, he said,"Why are you going out before your butt has even warmed up?”
I put on my shoes and ran to my uncle's house. When I reached his house, I shouted,"Big liar! You big liar! Where's my Red Willow Barbecue? Where's the unmarried sheep you gave me?”
Then, he knocked on the door and shouted at the top of his voice,"Uncle! Open the door! Get your car out again, and we'll go get Hong Liu!”
His uncle opened the door in a pair of big pants. I shouted as soon as I entered,"You're too mean. Where's my unmarried sheep?" Where's my red willow roasted meat?"
Little uncle looked at my baring fangs and brandishing claws, his eyes filled with disdain. I replied with disdain," I've never seen an uncle like this. He even lied to his nephew! Tell me! Where's Hong Liu? Where are the unmarried sheep?"
"I've never seen you being a nephew like this. Are you craving it?" If you don't admit it, you'll say that I lied to you. Go to the kitchen and pluck the red willow leaves yourself! They sent the lamb over at five in the afternoon and wanted to call you at night, but you came over yourself!”
I was very surprised. I rushed to the kitchen and saw a thick red willow branch in a black plastic bag. It was covered with leaves!
"When did you pick it?" I asked.
"When I was running away!”
I smiled. You didn't forget to eat when you were fleeing?"
" I can't tell who's making a ruckus over there," his uncle said disdainfully." Also, is that called running for our lives?" That's called a strategic shift, okay? Alright! Since you're here, go pick the leaves. Remember to straighten the pole, or the meat won't go up! I'm going to sleep! Don't wake me up until dinner!"
I was so depressed. I came to denounce him, but in the end, I was made to work as a laborer. Forget it, I'll admit it. Who asked me to have such a good taste! Until now, whenever I go to a city, I always ask around for the specialty dishes and delicious food first. I don't care about anything else. I'll rush over and eat first before commenting on the city. So as long as there's good food, I like to go to this city. I think it's good. Maybe it's a habit I developed at that time.
His uncle hadn't been in the kitchen much since he moved in, so the kitchen was very clean. I picked up a knife and started cutting. At around five o'clock, I heard the sound of a car outside the door and went to pick up a slaughtered lamb.
I sent the person who sent the sheep away and carried the sheep into the house. His uncle had just woken up to relieve himself. When he saw the kitchen, he said,"Oh my god! Are you tearing down my house? Look at the kitchen, look at the floor!"
I said angrily,"I'll work hard for you for free, cutting branches and carrying sheep!" What else do you want!"
"I don't care!" The kitchen was not cleaned up today! You're not allowed to touch my sheep!"
I smiled. Good! Why don't you marry this unmarried sheep!”
I laughed at him, but he ignored me and went to the bedroom to continue sleeping. At this moment, I really wanted to see Yengisar's power, so I pulled out my uncle's Yengisar to take a look. Hmm? It's not the same. Yengisar's sword is light in the front and heavy in the back. Why is his sword light in the front and heavy in the back?
The knife in my hand felt heavy. That's not right. Yengisar should focus on convenience. I strolled to the bedroom and woke up my half-asleep uncle. I asked,"Hey, what's the situation with Yengisar? Why are you acting like this?"
His uncle said impatiently," This is called Yengisar Machete. It was the ancestor of Yengisar a long time ago. I can't explain it to you. Get out, get out. Dream on!"”
I took the knife and walked out again. Ancestor? Just like this? I tried to separate the slaughtered lamb from the middle and found that it was very easy. The ribs in the middle were broken with a little force. I'm very surprised. This saber is so useful! Why did he have to improve it later?
I cut the meat and roasted it one by one. The meat of the lamb was very tender, and the red willow would break with a stab. Then, I started packing. When everything was ready, I looked at my watch. It was exactly seven o'clock. I woke my uncle up and he said,"Go!" Call your uncle, second uncle, and Sis Hua. Tell them to come over. I'll sleep for a while more!”
"Are you kidding me?" I shouted angrily. He had already slept for a whole day. It was time to wake up! Hurry up and barbecue! I haven't rested yet, but you're the one! Sleeping like a pig."
No matter how much I made a fuss, he just wouldn't get up. No wonder Uncle couldn't wake him up no matter how much he called out to him when he was in the yard. I had no choice but to tolerate him for the sake of the delicious food.
In the evening, his uncle woke up from his sleep. He was not in a hurry to brush his teeth or wash his face. He ran straight to the basement to get the barbecue rack. Looking at the grill, he knew that this kid often barbecued at home with his friends. Then, he grabbed a few pieces of wood from the basement. This wood was very strange. It was very thick, and its core was very yellow. Moreover, one could not see the growth rings at all. His uncle picked up his Yengisar and aimed at it a few times. The wood cracked. I asked my uncle,"You said that this sword is the ancestor of Yengisar, but I think it's very useful. Why should I improve it?"”
Uncle first looked at me with disdain and then said,"Why don't you use your brain? What was the result of the heavy front and light back?”
I shook my head. He continued," Isn't that the tip of the knife falling to the ground first? Think about it. If the tip of the knife falls to the ground first, won't this knife be destroyed? We ethnic minorities in Xinjiang are used to being careless. Who hasn't made a mistake? It was useful, but if it fell to the ground, it would be in danger of destroying a saber. The ancient people would probably cry.”
I suddenly understood. I saw my uncle stack the wood, pour some gasoline on it, and add a little charcoal. After that, he added more gasoline from time to time. When the fire was burning brightly, I saw him shouting at the top of his voice,"Goat baby, sheep baby! Delicious sheep children, married people don't need money, unmarried people give more!”
Hearing him call out, my saliva flowed.
When the fire was lit, Uncle, Second Uncle, and Sister Hua came in together. "You're finally here. I've been working hard for the whole afternoon just to eat this red willow roasted meat!"”
Second Uncle said,"Hahaha! I knew there was definitely a coolie, haha! I didn't expect it to be you. I thought it was your uncle! That's right! I have wine in my car! What Huadiao, Laojiao! Go get it yourself! Since you're a coolie, you should act like one. Go get it!”
Uncle brought a few side dishes, spicy red skin, skin teeth, red chili, tomatoes, vinegar, and salt. They could be eaten in a cold dish! There were also fried peanuts and the like on the table. After a while, the smell of lamb wafted in the air. The strong smell of cumin and the choking smell of chili made people feel very comfortable. These few days, I've been eating dried horse meat and never wanted to eat it again. Now that I smell this, I feel that it's really fragrant.
After a while, a large plate of roasted meat was served. I grabbed a piece and smelled it. The fragrance of the meat rushed into my nose. I took a bite. Oh my god, my mouth was full of juice. Everyone raised their glasses and drank a mouthful of cold beer. It was really a kind of enjoyment on this night with a bright moon and sparse stars.
"Uncle, is Grandpa feeling better?" I asked as I ate.”
Uncle did not answer, but Sis Hua said,""It's nothing! It'll be fine in a few days!"
"Why?" I asked. Couldn't he just open it? Do you think Grandpa opened it?"
"You don't understand. This is a form of respect he has for his subordinates! Business was business, feelings were feelings! After doing this for a long time, you must have your own style. Your grandfather's style is his love for this industry!”
I shook my head as I chewed on the red willow meat." I don't understand!”
"It's like playing chess with someone. You win, but you don't despise your opponent. Instead, you respect him. It's the same logic. Your grandfather is showing respect! Understand?"
I nodded thoughtfully, and everyone raised their glasses and started to bow left and right. Only then did I realize that Sister Hua's alcohol tolerance was amazing. She drank a lot of white wine and then drank beer. In the end, she drank beer to dissolve the white wine. Oh my god! Second Uncle was basically sleeping under the table with the bottle in his arms. Sis Hua, on the other hand, continued to touch her uncle as if nothing had happened.
I leaned back in my chair. This feeling was really too good. The five of them seemed to be releasing the cautiousness they had been feeling for the past few days. They were releasing the grievance of not eating or drinking well for the past few days. Gradually, I got drunk, so drunk that I forgot how to get back. I felt like I had slept for a century. Mom was scared out of her wits. She thought that she would have to confess after drinking fake wine. I slept for two days and only woke up in the afternoon on the third day. Other than feeling a little stuffy in my head, there was nothing else that was uncomfortable.
His father came in with a bowl of chicken soup and a red-skinned egg on the bed." How are you? Are you tired?"! This business is not easy!"
I didn't say anything. I held the steaming chicken soup, blew on it, and took a sip." It's quite interesting! I've seen a lot!"
Dad said,"This is dealing with the dead, it will shorten your life!"”
I said,"It's okay! He had never seen a dead person scare a living person to death!”
His father stopped talking. After a while, he took out a piece of red paper. When I saw it, it was an admission letter. The admission letter from the university in Sichuan had been sent, but I was not very happy. I feel very reluctant to leave Uncle and the others. I looked at it for a long time. Dad seemed to have seen through my thoughts." Child, this business is getting harder and harder. You still have to have a skill! You're the only university student in our family. If you don't study hard, your grandfather won't agree!”
I cracked open the egg and took a bite." Dad! I know, I'll study hard!”
At this moment, my phone rang. It was Second Uncle. I said,"Hey! Second Uncle, what's wrong?"
"Where are you?" Second Uncle asked. Let's go! I'll bring you to see something new!"
I said,"I'm at home! Come and pick me up!" After saying that, he hung up the phone.
I went downstairs to find a Ministores, bought a pack of cigarettes, took a bottle of water, and started smoking by the roadside. After a while, the blue bird stopped in front of me. After I went up, I asked,"Uncle, what's new today?"
"Watch your grandpa fight with treasures!"”
I said,"Fighting treasures? Fight with who?"
"You'll know when you get there!"”
The car drove all the way out of Dushanzi and headed towards Black Oil Mountain. I grew up here, but I rarely come here. People say that this is the slum of this city. The car continued to drive in. Soon, even the slums could not be seen. The road was not easy to walk on. From time to time, small stones were thrown into the car. Uncle said,"I'm annoyed here! There are so many pebbles!"
Second Uncle said,"You know the ball! Even if the police came, they would have a hard time on this road. By then, they would have left long ago! Use your brain!"
I suddenly realized that the car passed by a road with slopes on both sides of the mountain. From time to time, there were heads shaking on the slopes. Second Uncle waved his hand and drove straight in. After entering, I realized that it was a completely different world. There was a tile-roofed house inside. It was quite big, about 200 square meters. There were already a few cars parked around, and their license plates were all wrapped in cloth. I didn't see Grandpa's car. It was only after I got out of the car that I noticed that the Bluebird's license plate was also wrapped in cloth.
I followed them into the house and saw Grandpa sitting on an armchair, drinking a cup of tea, looking very relaxed. My uncle whispered in my ear,"Don't talk. Just watch carefully!"”
I nodded and walked behind Grandpa. After sitting down, I began to look around. There was another person sitting next to Grandpa. It was a very fat old man wearing loose clothes. If one did not pay attention, one would think that he was practicing Taiji Fist. His voice was very loud." Second Brother! How's your second son recently?"
Grandpa seemed very unhappy." It's been a long time! He did not know if he was dead or alive! I saw Barbarian recently!"
The fat old man seemed to be interested." Him? Was he still guarding that small shop? Haha! Could it be that he had made a fortune and was hiding there, not daring to come out!”
"Why don't you dare to ask him that?" Grandpa asked. You're already so old. Be careful not to hurt your tongue by talking behind someone's back!”
"Sigh, didn't we all go through this in the past?" the fat old man said. Unlike young people nowadays, when they are unreliable, they can still make me interested!”
Grandpa said," I heard that you got a treasure recently. It's all over the city. Didn't you get caught?”
The fat old man was unhappy." What are you talking about? I've been arrested. Aren't you going to go bankrupt? If you really go in, won't your second brother break his legs?”
Grandpa laughed and the fat old man continued,"It was really close this time. I was caught as a subordinate, but it wasn't a big problem. I didn't know much.”
While they were chatting, I looked around. This fat old man brought four people with him. They were dressed casually, but I knew that they were not to be trifled with. They didn't speak, but their postures were basically the same.
I asked my uncle,"Why are these people acting like they're in a movie?"”
"That's a bodyguard!" his uncle said disdainfully. Mercenaries, you know? Look, they're all former soldiers!"
"Desert soldiers?" What was there to be afraid of? They were basically engineers who only knew how to use shovels!”
"Look at the second one. Isn't his leg thicker?" His uncle continued to look at him with disdain. There was a guy inside! This was a combat unit, a special force!”
I looked at the big guy. That's right, that's what happened! This fat old man was not simple!
I asked my uncle,"What's the background of this fat old man?"”
"Your grandfather used to work with him, but they split up later," said his uncle. This fat old man has done a lot of bad things. He doesn't have much merit and has no descendants, but he has a lot of money. He's much stronger than your grandfather!”
I didn't like this fat old man from the bottom of my heart, but after hearing what my uncle said, I feel that he's really something! As we were talking, uncle came in and whispered something into grandpa's ear. Grandpa smiled at the fat old man and said,"Third Brother is here!"
A bright voice came from outside the door,""This damn weather in Xinjiang is really f * cking perverse. It was fine just now, but now it's going to rain again. This old man's rheumatism is acting up.”
The voice paused for a moment and asked,""Are those two old men here yet? If they don't come, I'll wait for them at the door!”
Before he could finish his sentence, he had already appeared at the door. It was an old man of medium build. At first glance, one would think that he was a beggar. He was dressed in tattered clothes, his shoes were so dirty that they could not be seen, and he was carrying a snakeskin bag on his back. It was also the kind that could not be taken away. This…Could this be Third Brother?
The old man who was called "Third Brother" by his grandfather and the others said when he saw his grandfather and the fat old man,"Aiya! You guys are early! I really missed you guys!" After saying that, he sat down on the empty third seat. "Aiya! Hurry up and serve me tea! I'm so thirsty!"
Grandpa put down his teacup." Third Brother, it's been a few years, but you're still as energetic as ever! You're always late!"
When Third Brother heard this, he said bluntly,"This is my problem. Why don't you guys know?"! I'm busy!"
I went to the side and asked my uncle,"What's the background of this third brother?" Why is it so dirty?"
"He's very mysterious. I've only gone to dig a grave with him and grandpa once before. This old fellow had some skills. He knew Feng Shui! He could see the front and back of the grave once he found it. Moreover, despite his height, he was actually very strong! That time, when we found the grave and came back, the car leaked oil. We said that we didn't want anything, but in the end, he carried a few treasures and a colorful coffin board through the desert area for 40 kilometers.”
I sized up this third brother again. Looking at his posture, I couldn't tell that he was a strong man. They exchanged greetings, but I didn't listen to what they said carefully. I chatted with my uncle. Suddenly, Grandpa waved at me, and I rushed over. "Oh my god!" Third Brother shouted. We're really old! Look at how handsome your grandson is! Yes! Not bad! Not bad!"
Grandpa pulled me over." Call me Third Master Yin!”
"Hello, Third Master!" I shouted.
Third Master Yin narrowed his eyes and looked at me." Alright, alright!”
The fat old man said,"This child is good! Sensible! Much better than my good-for-nothing grandson! Come, call me grandpa!"
I turned around and said,"Greetings, Grandpa!"”
Grandpa was very happy." Okay! Sigh, don't you guys give gifts to your godgrandsons?”
First Grandfather laughed out loud." It's not that you're afraid of losing today. Just let us acknowledge you as our godgrandson first. Give us something to reduce our losses!"”
Third Master Yin laughed as well. I think he probably took some small porcelain to make up the amount and exchange it for some of our treasures to pay for his grandson's college tuition! Isn't that right! Godgrandson!"
I didn't know whether to nod or shake my head.
"Haha!" Grandpa said. It was hard to say who would win or lose! How about this, he would owe her the items first and talk about it after the competition!”
After saying that, he called me back to my seat. "How do they compete?" I asked my uncle.”
Second Uncle sat down." These people are all experts. They know how much they can sell for just by taking out their items. So, once they show their treasures, they will know the winner. They usually competed in three matches, and the last match was the best. The one who won the most could choose one of the treasures of the remaining two people to take away!”
I said,"Then didn't the winner take the best? They should be crying!"
Second Uncle said," That won't happen. I usually just take one, but I definitely won't take the best. A gentleman doesn't take what others love!”
"Oh," I replied and quickly asked,"Did Grandpa win many times?"”
Second Uncle crossed his legs and said,"There are wins and losses. In any case, the baby will be spinning around among them!" But it's quite fun!"
Grandpa looked at his watch and said,"Let's get started!" What do you think?"
Third Master Yin spat out the tea leaves in his mouth." Come on, I can't wait any longer!”
Grandpa said,"Yeah, I don't know why you guys like to start at night and only start when you're almost starving!"”
As First Grandfather spoke, he waved at the people behind him. A man picked up a tray from the ground. It was covered with a yellow cloth. "Come, I'll show you my treasure!"”
After saying that, he stood up and took off the yellow cloth. I couldn't see clearly as I sat down. I saw a bronze mirror with a black back and many patterns carved on it. The patterns were very complete, and there was a piece of bronze rust on the edge. However, the front could be seen clearly. First Grandfather smiled and said," When this thing came out of the grave, it was so beautiful. When I came back, it was raining and my backpack was wet. Just repairing it during this period of time cost me tens of thousands!”After saying that, she looked at her grandfather from the corner of her eyes.
Grandpa also waved his hand. Uncle came over with a bag wrapped in oil paper. "I knew you didn't prepare oilpaper. You deserve to spend money!" Grandpa said as he opened it.”It was the baby elephant's stomach.
Third Master Yin stood up to take a look before sitting down again." It's so rare. Watch me!"”
As he spoke, he opened the snakeskin bag and took out a jade bird. The jade bird was the size of a palm, and it was lifelike. Its wings were almost transparent, and every feather on its tail seemed to be visible. The mouth on the bird's head was slightly open, and it seemed to be singing softly. Third Master Yin said," It's from the Qianlong era. I didn't dig it up. I bought it. How is it?"”
First Grandfather and Grandfather looked at each other and asked someone to put away the treasure. Grandpa said,"Congratulations, when you buy things, there's basically no seller who doesn't suffer a loss!”
Third Master Yin said," That's right. The seller is a Uighur who smokes hemp. He took out his ancestor's things to sell and even set up a stall. If I don't take advantage of him, I'll be letting down my ancestor!"”He had a smug look on his face.
"You win, let's go for the second round!"”
After saying that, he impatiently waved his hand, and two young men came over with a large bucket. This time, the thing was bigger, and there was nothing covering it. I stood up and stretched my neck to look. I saw a pile of meatball-like things in the bucket, trembling.
"We found this on the north side of the grave when we went to dig it." Look at how fat this thing is in the grassland grave!”
"What's that?" I asked Second Uncle. An animal?"
"That's called Tai Sui!" Second Uncle said.
"Grand Duke? What is Taisui?"
Second Uncle said," At present, no one knows what the Tai Sui is. We only know that it is very strange. According to its appearance, it can be divided into natural Tai Sui, aquatic Tai Sui, and native Tai Sui!”
"I don't understand. Can things grow in the sky?"”
Second Uncle said," It can't be completely said that it was born. It's just that Tai Sui, who originally grew in the water, ended up hanging on a tree during a flood or some other situation. It grew as one with the tree, but it didn't affect each other. It relied on the juice of trees to survive, so it had the shape of a tree. It had not been seen yet, but it existed in ancient times in Xinjiang.”
I said,"What do you mean by having the form of a tree? Doesn't this thing have a form?"
"Didn't you hear what he said? He found it in the grave." What did he mean? It can grow even if it doesn't see the light!"
I was starting to be surprised. All life forms needed photosynthesis. Wasn't this thing a plant?
Uncle continued,"Aquatic Taisui grows in the water. It can come into contact with running water and can also provide nutrients to its own door. That's why it grows fat!"”
I said," It's easy to understand if it's born in the soil. But why is it the lowest grade?”
Little uncle said: "You see, natural Tai Sui, with the shape of a tree, there are very few impurities." It was aquatic and very round, but when the water was turbid, it would inevitably be affected. Moreover, fish and whatnot would disturb it. Earth produces Tai Sui, and there are many minerals in the soil. That thing will absorb itself. If it is a heavy metal, this Tai Sui is basically worthless. This Tai Sui was an earth-born Tai Sui. However, its appearance was not bad. It was slightly yellow, indicating that there were very few impurities in the earth!”
I looked at it for a while and asked,"What's the use of this thing?" I can't tell if it's Tai Sui even if I grab a piece of fern mushroom and throw it in.”
His uncle looked at him with disdain." What's the use? It was very useful. This thing had a natural healing effect. If he found it, he would soak it in water. As long as it was not made of heavy metal, his body would be very good after drinking it. If he was injured, he could wash it with this water and immediately stop the bleeding. It would heal quickly!”
I suddenly understood. No wonder they looked at me for a long time. Grandpa reached out and took it out. He smelled it, pinched it, and put it back into the water."It's native, and its appearance is ordinary!”
Third Master Yin couldn't wait any longer." Watch me!”
Third Master Yin took out a black wooden box from his bag. The wooden box was antique and could be considered a treasure. He placed it on the table and gently opened it. He also opened the box on the side. The four walls fell down like lotus petals. Inside was a small clay figurine riding a horse. The mud horse was fiery red in color. Its legs were thin and straight, as if they were real. The head of the horse was high, and the little mud figurine on its back was a general. It had a black saber, black armor, and a black helmet. It had a solemn expression, and its hand held the hilt. It felt as if it would come back to life at any moment and raise its saber to kill the enemy. Although this small and exquisite statue was covered in cracks, it felt very comfortable and natural. If it was magnified a hundred times, the effect would probably be very shocking.
"Hmph!" Third Master Yin said. This treasure was on the top of the coffin, and there was a coffin outside the coffin. It was wrapped in three layers of wood. How was it preserved? Since ancient times, he had never seen such a well-preserved treasure! Haha!"
Grandpa smiled." It's true that it's well-preserved. Judging from the age of this model, it's probably Uighur." Hmm, that's interesting! Look at mine."
After saying that, he gave his uncle a look, and his uncle unrolled a well-framed scroll. It was the sheepskin book. I thought to myself, it's over. It's impossible to win with this rotten sheepskin. First Grandfather and Third Master Yin stood up and started to read the sheepskin book, touching it from time to time.
"This is strange. Which era are these words from?”First Grandfather asked Third Master Yin.
Third Master Yin stroked his beard." I don't know. Which small country?"”
"At first, I thought it was from a small country, but after a closer look, it's a map!"”
The two old men seemed to be shocked."A map?"
I stood up in shock, but my uncle pulled me back." Sit down. You're not capable enough. Don't go over.”
I said,"Do you know it's a map?”
"Your uncle suggested it when we were watching it together," said his uncle.”
I secretly admired Uncle for a while. Uncle said,"Listen to what they say!"
Third Master Yin looked at the map and sheepskin book and smiled,""This is a map. Second brother, are you unable to handle it? Take it out and let us take a look at it for you? Haha, you old fart. I'll help you solve a big problem after winning. You're really smart!”
Grandpa chuckled." How about this? We'll study it after the competition." Whoever discovered it and arrived first would get it! However, I have to say this first. We'll split it together!”
"We're finished," First Grandfather laughed,"This is equivalent to splitting them together!" Haha, Second Brother, why do you always have such a shrewd plan! Aren't you afraid that I'll fight with you for it?"
Grandpa said,"Haha, you're the eldest brother. How dare you snatch it?"”
"Haha, that's right!" Third Master Yin said. If you rob me, I'll report you! I won't save you if you go to the police station! Alright, Second Brother, you win! However, I think I should study it myself and help you guys scout the place first!”
The three of them burst into laughter.
When the third round began, First Grandfather was going to be the first to show off his treasures. With a mysterious look, he took out a suitcase, placed it on the table, and slowly opened it. "Wow!" I couldn't help but call out.
This was a set of wine vessels. There was a wine pot with eight wine cups. Judging from the color, it was suet jade. This jade did not reflect much light under the light, which showed its high purity. That moist luster made people lose themselves in thought. The shape of the wine pot was very beautiful. It had a thick pot core and a phoenix carved on it, taking up half of the pot core. The phoenix raised its head elegantly, as if it was chirping into the air. The earlobes of the teapot were covered with two rings, and there was a coiled dragon on the lid. Its dragon claws clung to the top of the teapot, and it felt as if it was about to soar into the sky. The eight wine glasses were all round, the kind that did not have a base. They were arranged in order from small to large, making people feel pity for them.
"My Life Breath came from a big grave!"”
I asked my uncle,"What is life and death?"”
His uncle's eyes lit up." Life and death? I'm not sure!"
Second Uncle continued,"Life and death are the cycle of big and small, and small and big. This breathing was a game of the ancient people. For example, if one lost in chess, the person who drank from small to big and then filled it up again represented a realm. It was…it was like playing chess was like life, and life was like the wine in this cup!”
I seemed to understand, but at the same time, I didn't seem to understand anything. In any case, I just looked at that treasure and drooled.
Third Master Yin picked up the wine pot and turned it over. He looked at the engraved seal at the bottom and said," That's right. This is the first time I've seen it in Xinjiang. It's a game item." Mm, sure! Yes! It was something from the early Qing Dynasty. It was made in the Western Regions and was probably sent to pay tribute. Yes! We can change planes now!"
As Third Master Yin spoke, he took out a treasure," I may not be able to beat you in terms of jade, but I might not lose!”
He placed the treasure on the table. It was a pearl the size of a fist. Grandpa stood up and took a look before sitting down again. First Grandpa walked forward and took a look in his hand. He asked,"Night-Luminescent Pearl?"
"Haha!" Third Master Yin laughed. Luminous Pearls are nothing! This is a Night Dragon Pearl!"
"What's a Night Dragon Ball?"”
Second Uncle said,"My God, Night Dragon Ball, this is the Night Dragon Ball?"”
"No way!" I've heard of them all, but I've never seen them before!"
I said,"What? What is a Night Dragon Pearl?"
"The luminous pearl glows with a green light at night, while this one glows with a yellow light. Moreover, there will be a dragon inside, so it's called a night dragon pearl!"”
I heard it sounded like nonsense. I saw Grandpa pick up the bead and look at it again and again." This bead flower really looks like a dragon. Its luster is top-grade." Not bad, not bad! It was rare, but he didn't seem very old!”
Third Master Yin smiled," Good eyesight. I've made up my mind. This thing was originally the size of two palms. Its surface has been corroded by the ancient corpse until it's almost black." There were four holes in the grave. This thing was buried in the soil under the coffin. Fortunately, I had sharp eyes and realized that the soil was wrong. I dug it out and saw this. Wahaha!”
Grandpa smiled and said,"You, Old Third Yin, don't have any other skills, but you're better at picking up leftovers than anyone else!" Alright then! Look at mine!"
After saying that, he took out an object wrapped in oil paper from his bag and carefully peeled it off layer by layer. Third Master Yin and First Grandfather were anxious." Why are you so troublesome? Every time he wrapped it up so tightly, he would earn less!”
Grandpa smiled and said nothing." How are you digging graves? You're digging graves. The things of our ancestors are all treasures!”
I also wanted to know what Grandpa would use to compete with them. When the last layer was unveiled, I finally saw that it was the string of Buddha beads. First Grandfather and Third Master Yin walked over disapprovingly. They looked at the scene and were all shocked.
Third Master Yin asked directly,"Ah, is this King Kong Zi or from the Han Dynasty?" Oh my god! 108? This rune!"
First Grandfather looked at him as if he was his own child." The Buddhist exorcism treasure, Vajra? I really didn't expect to see a purple diamond after so long. Look at these runes! Where did you get this? The things on the Silk Road were very rare!”
Grandpa was very pleased." Tell me, who won?”
Third Master Yin and First Grandfather did not even raise their heads." You win, you win. Let's see!”
Grandpa sat there smugly and started drinking tea. Third Master Yin said,""This purple diamond is so beautiful. How do you think the runes were carved on it?”
Grandpa said,"There's always a way!"”
After a while, the two old men slowly straightened their backs and turned to their grandfather."Second Brother, I have to hand it to you. You're lucky!”
Grandpa laughed out loud." Grandson, come here. Choose what you like! Hurry up! Otherwise, these old ghosts would be stingy!”
First Grandfather's face was bitter." You have bad intentions!”
Third Master Yin said,"Hmph hmph, why do I have to go bankrupt every time before I'm satisfied?!" Last time, it was your Xiao Hua. This time, it's your grandson. Next time, I'll bring my godgrandson over. Do you guys recognize me?”
Grandpa laughed out loud, and my uncle whispered into my ear,"Remember! Don't choose the last one, it's not good!”
I flew over, looked left and right, and pointed to the Taisui." I want this! My grandfather's health is not good. Let's see if it's useful!”
"Sure, sure!" First Grandfather was overjoyed. Look, look, why don't I have such an obedient grandson?”
I turned my head and said to Grandpa,"Grandpa, I'll cut a piece and go back to raise it." What if he couldn't finish it all at once and it went bad?”
Grandpa looked at me with his mouth agape, then turned to the person behind him and said,"Hurry up and cut my grandson into pieces!”
A young man walked over from behind, took out a sword from his chest, and swung it at Tai Sui. A piece of Tai Sui fell into the water. First Grandfather picked it up and asked someone to bring a bucket to put it in. Then, he turned to his grandfather and said,"This is what our grandson chose himself. You can't go back on your word!”
"What my grandson likes is what I like. I won't go back on my word!"”
First Grandfather happily called for people to pack up the treasures and said to the people behind him,"Come on! Give me 20,000 yuan for my godgrandson's tuition!”
I turned around and looked at Master Yin San. He suddenly became nervous. Perhaps he knew that I didn't know the depth. If I took his dragon pearl away, he would definitely cry. He couldn't refuse. I deliberately picked up the dragon ball and looked at it. Grandpa was laughing secretly at the side, laughing so hard that his entire body was trembling. Third Master Yin's face turned pale at this moment. His embarrassed look was really laughable. His grandfather was watching from the side as if he was watching a show.
I looked carefully at the sunlight and saw a faint bead pattern. He stuffed the pearl into his clothes and took a look. Oh my god, it was indeed emitting a faint yellow light. It was so beautiful. The bead pattern was embedded in the Night Dragon Pearl. At first glance, it really looked like a dragon. It was beautiful!
I took out the Night Dragon Pearl from my pocket and placed it on the table. Third Master Yin heaved a sigh of relief and wiped his sweat, as if he had been relieved of a heavy burden.
I looked at the bronze mirror and the little pony again and said to Grandpa,"I don't want any of them. It's not fun to take them and I can't use them!”
Third Master Yin almost fell over when he heard that. Even his grandfather said,""Just take any one of them. Any one of them is basically priceless!”
I thought about it. Uncle said that I couldn't take the third piece, so I basically didn't like the others. "I don't like this!" I insisted.”
I turned to Third Master Yin and said,"Third Grandpa, don't you have anything fun to do?"”
Third Master Yin took a look." My good grandson, what do you want? Tell me!"”
I said,"I don't know either. Grandpa, look!"”
Third Master Yin rubbed his head and rubbed his hands on his pants. After a long time, he finally raised his head and said,""I have, I have good things here. I have a lot. How about this?”
After saying that, he ran out. About two minutes later, he rushed back in and took a crown. I saw that it was gold. The style of the crown was very unique, and it even had ear protectors. The earguard was shaped like a ferocious beast, and it was impossible to tell what kind of animal it was. The crown was half-covered with its head, and the design was hollow. There was no fancy design, and the front looked like Sun Wukong's Golden Hoop Incantation. It could be seen that the person who made the crown did not care about saving gold at all. This crown was very heavy.
Third Master Yin rubbed his hands and said,"Put it on quickly and let Third Master take a look!" Aiya, this matter was even more difficult than digging a grave!”
After I put it on, Third Master Yin said," My God, my god-grandson is really handsome. He's comparable to the son of the Xiongnu leader, Touman Chanyu! This crown belonged to his son. Oh my god, not bad, not bad!"
Grandpa put down his teacup." Not bad my ass. I've suffered a huge loss! Grandson, take down the things in the grave!”
Third Master Yin chuckled and said,""No one is allowed to speak. Let our grandson say whether he looks good or handsome? Now, Second Brother, you don't have the final say. Our grandson has the final say!”
I looked at Grandpa. He didn't seem to be really angry, so I said,"Third Master Yin, I want this thing. It's quite nice!”
Third Master Yin laughed out loud and said,"That's definitely good!" What a joke. Chanyu's son is amazing. He's the apple of his eye. You're also the apple of Third Master's eye. How can you be inferior?”
I took off the crown and looked at it again and again. My heart was still filled with love. Third Master Yin suddenly remembered something." Oh, wait a minute. Tuition fees, tuition fees!”
He turned around and ran out again. "How much is this worth?" I asked Grandpa.”
Grandpa snorted."This is much cheaper than his bronze mirror. Gold and silver are valuable, but mirrors are sky-high! However, as long as you like it."
At this moment, Third Master Yin rushed in with a wad of money in his hand and shoved it at me." Your Great Grandfather will give you 20,000 yuan. I don't have time to count how much this is. Count it yourself. It's definitely more than your Great Grandfather's." Well, I'll take it as your living expenses! Get me a beautiful granddaughter-in-law, and Third Master will book a hotel for you!”
I thanked him and returned to my seat with the bucket and crown. The uncle took the bucket and said," You did well today. You made your two god-grandfathers happy. You will be taught a lot of things in the future."”
I thought of something and turned to First Grandfather and Third Master Yin,""First Grandpa, Third Grandpa, I'll accompany you to dig graves in the future, okay?”
The two of them looked at each other and laughed." You can call me when the time comes. With your third grandpa's cunning eyes, you can see any grave!”
I was very happy to hear that. Second Uncle pulled me back and said," I didn't expect you to be so capable. Back then, I didn't get anything. I only got some money!”
"It's rare for these three old men to be so happy!”
