Chapter 20: Qilin Carrying Everything (2)

The fat man complained: "Brother, I asked you to clean the windows, but I didn't ask you to clean this. If I had known you were so hardworking, I would have given up the floor to you just now."

Menyouping shook his head, touched it, and smelled it. I found that the water he touched was green.

"Faded? No way." The fat man took a breath, "Holy crap, your grandma's, isn't it a painted fake?"

I felt a thump in my heart, that's damn bad luck. Judging from the cautious attitude of the waiters towards us just now, it seems that this thing must be real, but there are also surprises. If this thing is fake, it is the auctioneer itself. There is fraud. If he insists that the things at the auction are real, but it turns out to be fake in our hands, we will not be able to escape it even if we jump into the Yellow River.

Just when I was about to take a closer look, the oil bottle said no and told us not to touch it: "It's poisonous." He asked us to look at his hands. A large two-layer red spot appeared where he touched the liquid, and there were also Spreading towards the palms.

I was startled, and the fat man high-fived: "Ah, I know. I've heard that Americans sometimes put a chemical substance on antiques to prevent theft. People who touch it will be allergic and then fall unconscious. Eh, Then why was I fine just now?"

"If you wrap it in clothes, it may be insulated. This thing will absorb moisture and dissolve."

The red rash on Menyou Ping's hand did not continue to spread, and there was no sign of fainting. He didn't seem to care. The fat man wrapped the jade seal in a towel and went to rinse it with him.

After washing, the jade seal became very exquisite and clear. When we looked at it in the yard under the abundant sunshine, many details that were not clear just now suddenly appeared. I found that the carving of the jade seal was so fine that it was astonishingly human. , even if this thing is not an antique, it is definitely a masterpiece in the history of art.

I felt relieved and thought it was okay, okay.

Now I can finally observe the jade seal button of the entire jade seal carefully. I found that it is in the shape of a unicorn stepping on a ghost. A unicorn holds its head high and steps on a three-headed imp. The imp's claws are grasped on the unicorn's claws. However, if you take a closer look, you will find that the unicorn is also made up of many little ghosts, and the carving is extremely clever. The whole shape does not look like a unicorn stepping on a ghost, but rather the ghosts are combining to form a unicorn. And these ghosts have scales on their bodies, which look like snakes wrapped around them.

Ghost button arowana jade seal.

The ghost button is worthy of its name, but where is the dragon fish? I only see snake-like lines. Looking at the jade seal from another angle, we immediately found that the shape of the unicorn changed into the shape of countless dragon fish. When those little ghosts looked at it sideways, they could see the meaning of the dragon fish in the tangled shapes.

ox.

As someone who has done some research on traditional Chinese crafts, I immediately knew that the value of this thing is extremely high. In the antique market, appearance, creativity, workmanship, and background are all important. Often one of the four factors is very good, and the value is It's not cheap. However, this thing has almost reached the limit in every aspect. The price just sold is not very high to be honest. If we don't make trouble, the final transaction price will probably be astronomically high.

I broke out in a cold sweat thinking about it. If I were the seller and this thing was robbed, I would definitely not be able to spare that person. At the same time, I felt that we could escape so easily with such a powerful thing. , it seems that their protective measures are too childish.

The entire shape of Qilin feels very similar to the tattoo on Menyou Ping's body, but I know it's not the same. Having said that, Qilin is actually pretty much the same.

The fat man drooled when he saw it, and said: "You have to count how many fish and ghosts. If the number of fish and ghosts is very special, it will be even more amazing." As he said this, he started to count, and after only a few counts, he was stunned. He said, "No, there's something wrong with the appearance of this thing."

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"This ghost is missing a head." He pointed it out to me. When I saw it, it turned out that the very fine carvings were suddenly broken. Because the whole carving was too complicated, I didn't remove them one by one. number,

I can't see this detail at all.

I looked through the whole thing and found that there were problems with the texture in more than one place, but in three places. But the strange thing is that the broken place is very smooth, as if it was intentional. The fat man gestured and found that the three places were where the fingertips were held when using the jade seal.

"Have you ever heard of the floral shirts from old Beijing?" the fat man suddenly asked.

I shook my head, and the fat man said: "The flowers on the mandarin jacket and the waistcoat are connected together. When wearing the waistcoat, the two sleeves of the mandarin jacket are clouds, and the waistcoat is a crescent moon. When the waistcoat is taken off, the sleeves of the mandarin jacket are still clouds. But there is a full moon on the chest of the mandarin jacket. This is called a round moon."

I yelled, "What, what, just say no?"

The fat man said: "What you, Fatty, mean is that these three ghost heads are actually three rings. The person wearing the three rings grabs this jade seal. The position of the ring is exactly on the fracture. Grab this, and this jade seal It just took shape. Ingenious, so damn ingenious."

I grabbed it, and thought it was clever. Although it was clever, it seemed to be very similar to the Guixi in my mind, but how to prove whether it was true or not, or whether there was a connection? Asking Menyou Ping: "You——" When he thought about it, he must have forgotten everything, and asking Ding was in vain.

Menyouping didn't seem to be particularly interested in this thing, and he didn't express anything special. The fat man couldn't put it down immediately, and he just wanted to swallow it: "Damn, it's really developed this time, naive, you I guess we have to take action on this kind of thing, who can take over?"

I thought about it and suddenly felt an ominous premonition: "This, it's really hard to say."

Suddenly, several horns rang outside, startling us. The fat man immediately wrapped up the things again and said, "Okay, the little girl is back. Don't think about it. Let's keep this thing. Sooner or later, someone will tell us. It's better to go first." keep it."

After saying that, he brought them back to the building. The fat man was very clever. He climbed up to the beam and stuffed it into the cracks between the bricks on the beam. It turned out that Huo Xiuxiu had come back, followed by several people, with large and small bags. They put them upstairs, including sleeping bags and Those things she said. The fat man reacted quickly. He immediately asked where the wine was, as if he hadn't even looked at the jade seal just now.

Huo Xiuxiu took out two bottles of wine without labels: "The best Erguotou, keep it until you have drunk it."

"Bragging, Erguotou is the best?" said the fat man. But I saw those who followed said hello to the little girl and left, but the little girl didn't leave. She took out a large fast food box from her bag: "Fried peanuts."

I watched those people leave and asked strangely: "You won't go back?"

"How miserable you are when I go back. There are three old men in an ancient house. Erguotou only needs a hemp rope. After you finish drinking, the three of you hang yourself together." She said.

"If you add a female ghost, we won't be able to hang ourselves." The fat man said.

I asked: "Does your grandma know you are here? Don't wait to find you."

"Brother Wu Xie, have you really forgotten or are you just pretending to be confused? Don't you remember my temper?" The little girl blinked, "My grandma doesn't know, but she won't look for me. I dared to do it when I was eight years old. I'm on a plane, and I'm familiar with both Changsha and Beijing, so she can rest assured that I'm going to the wild, and I'm here this time to exchange secrets with you, so I must have taken insurance."

I really had no impression of her, and it sounded strange to me. This girl was so weird. I refused to show weakness and looked stupid, so I asked, "Do you really want to change? I thought you were joking. How can I help you?" ?How do I believe what you say is true?"

"You can try me," she smiled.

"Testing you? Why are you trying?" I said to myself that I don't know what information you have.

The fat man joked softly: "Innocent, this girl must not be trying to seduce you."

I poked him to stop talking nonsense, and she said, "Well, let me tell you something. After you listen, you will know immediately that I am qualified to exchange information with you."

I found it more and more interesting, so I nodded to see what tricks she was playing.

She looked at me and said mysteriously: "When I was a child, I saw a video tape by chance. After watching the video tape, I was very confused and asked my grandma. She didn't say anything and even scolded me. After a while, I started to investigate this matter myself. After listening to what you told my grandma, I found that the things we investigated seemed to be related. You should believe me when I say this. "

The fat man and I looked at each other and neither expressed our opinions, because I mentioned this matter when I told the old woman that it could be fabricated.

When she saw no response from us, she sighed and said slowly: "I have the fish here."
