Chapter 14: Priceless Treasure
I chose to call the police for a reason, because I just took office as village chief and wanted to make some noise by playing on the subject, plus the reservoir is owned by my name, in case a dead body is found, I will also be subject to a lawsuit.
Shorty is very puzzled, so angry that the boat will be paddled quickly to the island in the middle of the reservoir, jumped down and pointed at my nose and cursed.
"Your head into the water, call the police that is called self-inflicted, we have only lived a few days of good life, to go to your own, I can still count on Zhang Fang to give me a few dolls!"
Drinking a lot of beer, my head is a little up, shaking his head will be the cause and he said, he only laughed, will help me to the boat, take me home.
I and the clothes lying on the bed directly slept over, the next day at dawn when I woke up shorty, hurried to the village committee, I do not think that a few cadres and group leaders are waiting for me in the eye.
They seem to be a little afraid of me as the newly appointed village chief, and all of them hooked their heads and sat there without saying anything.
I had been thinking about the secret under South Gate Mountain, so I said a few words to them.
"South Gate Mountain is classified as a forbidden mountain from today, no grazing or logging shall be allowed to exist, I hope that you leaders will enforce this, there are still some issues waiting for me to come back from the township!"
A few cadres looked at each other, seemed to not understand my decision, I did not explain to them, called out to Shorty and went to the kiosk in front, let Fangzi's father rode a three-wheeled motorcycle to carry to the township.
Shorty did not say anything on the way, I looked at his face was punched still a little swollen, thinking about how to get out of this bad breath, to the township, Fangzi his father went to the goods, I took the time to the antique store.
The boss of the store is always a treacherous face, see me come, hastily greeted the woman to serve tea and water, I took a look at the woman who walks with a twist and a pinch, and thought to myself that so soon changed, this bitch than the previous one is much hotter!
"Little brother, you haven't come to see me for some days, do you have something good to show me this time!"
I did not take out that seal, but pressed Shorty on the chair, pointed at the face that was beaten like a pig's head, and said angrily.
"Boss, take a look, this brother of mine let someone beat him up in the countryside, it's fucking lawless, in broad daylight, can you find a way for me to get rid of my anger or not!"
I believe that this old antique know many people, surely can think of ways for me to get out of anger, but he did not want to care about these matters outside the body, sip a few mouths of tea after smiling and said to me.
"Little brother ah, today he beat you, tomorrow you beat him, beat to beat, when is the end of it, listen to my old brother a word of advice, this road to seek money not life, I think it is better to forget it!"
Shorty is very aggrieved to look at me, miso sound stood up, raised his leg to go out, mouth also chattered.
"Old son of a bitch just can't swallow this breath, is to wait here for ten days and half a month, old son also want to beat back!"
I stopped the shorty who was about to go out, looked at the treacherous boss, saw that he was not willing to help also skipped this matter, fished out the seal from his pocket, walked to bring the counter dipped in a little bit of sealing clay, and then stamped a seal on his hand.
Come over to look at, that old antique instantly stunned, a pair of eyeballs lifting fast, like looking at aliens generally look at me, excited incoherent said.
"This ...... this ...... good ...... good ...... treasure! ......!"
I don't know what he wants to express, but from his tone of voice I can tell that this seal is absolutely extraordinary, and raised my palm to look at it, only to see that there are four small bright red characters on the seal.
General Faqiu!
Shorty see his excited look, also can not help but come over to look at, grinning and touching the face of pain, smilingly asked that boss said.
"Oh ...... how, this thing is very valuable, how much is it worth?"
The boss touched his chest, after slowing down a few breaths, stomped a few steps to close the doors and windows, and then looked at that hot woman and said, "You go upstairs to stay, I didn't shout don't come down!"
I pinched the seal, looked at the woman who wiggled her big ass, and thought to myself that with this hot body, how come I didn't drain this old man dry?
That person cut a contemptuous sound, wiggled her ass and went upstairs, the boss then beckoned us to come closer, and lowered his voice and said.
"Little brother, let's open the window and talk brightly, your thing is a priceless treasure, there is only one in the whole world, there is a market without a price, I can't afford to take it!"
He does not seem to tell lies, his face is very serious, but I still feel strange, is not just a seal, how it has become a market without price, looking at his jealous eyes, I hastily put away into my pants pocket, smiling and asked him to say.
"Oh ...... boss, you don't frame me, on this thing is still priceless, touch is also a jade!"
The boss waved his hand, immediately from his pocket to touch out a handful of hundred dollar bills to, counted a thousand handed me, mouth said: "Little brother, this is filial piety to you, in the future there are what good things just pipe to me here, I see you can do something big!"
Shorty saw the money, hastily reached out and took it, scratched his head, sat on his butt on the chair, and said with a fluttering brow, "Brother Shanzi, what's the matter, I was right, this thing is worth money!"
I rubbed my hands together and held back my excitement, picked up a bowl of tea and fiercely poured it down, the emerald green tea dripped down the corners of my mouth and into my collar, iced me to the point where I shuddered and said.
"See what you mean, this thing you do not accept, that one thousand dollars also gave me for nothing?"
The boss looked at me nodded, pointing to those good color antiques to me said: "is my body meat sold also can not afford to accept, this thing to see a glance are lucky, I can tell you two, no matter how much other people out of money, this thing you can not sell!"
I was taken aback, I thought I could get a different buyer, who would have expected him to say these words, I curiously came over, sat down next to him and asked in a low voice.
"What is the meaning of this, you do not accept still do not let us both sell to people, that have you do business like this!"
The boss laughed, shook his head and told me the origin of this thing, said with this thing, a hundred taboo, demons and monsters can not get close to me, I can not help but laugh in my heart, thinking of such a powerful thing, is to give me the gold mountain and silver bank are not exchange.
"You may not know, this thing appeared in the Republican period, rumor has it that it was put away by a Taoist priest, some years ago four grave robbers appeared in our township, the government arrested one, the remaining three are nowhere to be found!"
The boss filled my tea and told me everything he knew, I recalled the Taoist priest who disappeared from Nanmen Mountain, and wondered if he was also a grave robber.
At the end, that boss got up to the counter again, and rummaged through a newspaper in the drawer, pointing to a woman's portrait on it and said to me.
"It's this woman who was arrested, the remaining three are only dead!"
I looked at the woman with white hair, felt very familiar, but for a moment could not recall where I had seen, at this time, shorty came over to look at, grinned and said.
"This woman has saved the lives of the three of us, how did she get caught?"
Listening to shorty so, I suddenly remembered the embroidered shoes incident, which realized that she was the white-headed woman who lived in the woodland that year, took a look at the date on the newspaper, but it was ten years ago.
"Boss, do you know where this woman is locked up, she has saved our brothers' lives, I want to go and take a look!"
I rubbed some raw eyes, snatched the newspaper over to take a closer look, mouth is also busy asking a question, that boss is hehe laughs.
"Oh ...... this woman is not simple, the other day I heard from the jail ran away, now also wanted everywhere, you two also do not let outsiders see the seal, will attract lawsuits and trouble!"
Close the newspaper and hand it to the boss, after exchanging a few pleasantries I came out with Shorty and found a pavilion to eat some buns before we both went to the police station.
South Gate Hill missing Taoist priest in the end is not a grave robber, I all the way to think about this question, wait until the police station is still can not think of the answer.
Shorty poked me, pointing to a few comrades wearing big hats, and asked me: "Brother Shanzi, we're here, don't just stand there, hurry up and do the right thing!"
I touched the seal in my pocket, took a look at a few busy comrades, the township police station is not many people, and did not see the masses, I knocked on the thick and cold glass window, identified myself, said that a dead body was found!
A few police heard of the dead body, rushed out, pulling me and Shorty on the police car, all the way back to the village whistling, Shorty and I sat in the back, accompanied by two people around, and the prisoner is not very different.
Looked at the majestic police, I was a little scared in my heart, fantasizing about one day sitting in the car, shorty is also very afraid, do not dare to move, from time to time look up at me, I saw his throat knot in the movement, I do not know what he wanted to say, or because of nervousness in the swallowing saliva.
Close to the village, they pulled the siren, the sound of the whimpering sound made me even more nervous, put in the pocket, the death grip on the seal of the hand is also full of sweat, after stopping the car, I took a few deep breaths to feel better, but shorty bent over and dry-heaving, I realized that he was just a car sick and wanted to vomit!
The police car has never come to the village, the crowd immediately surrounded, pointing at me and shorty, a few village dry thought I had committed something, rushed over to hand over cigarettes, that drive the police but loudly reprimanded, the crowd are dispersed.
"There's no time to lose, quickly take us there!"
I look at the six police, the heart is a little difficult, that small boat I and shorty sit too crowded, how to sit down a few big and thick men, so beckoned Zhang Fang took a few packs of cigarettes over, distributed to them and said.
"I'm afraid this won't work, there are no boats on the reservoir, at most we can only take one person there!"
Several police officers squinted their eyes, sipped their cigarettes and gulped for a while, the one who drove the car suddenly slapped his head, got up and opened the door of the car, took out a jack, looked at several village cadres and said.
"Quickly go to find some bricks to, to be strong, we unloaded four tires, together to see, really if the murder, that can not be sloppy!"
