Repairer - Chapter 28
Chapter 28 Ghost Hitting the Wall (2)
“Xiaoxiao, you sit in front. Brother Gang can sit in the back.”
Before getting in the car, Su Xiaofan rearranged the seats. He was worried about his sister squeezing in the back seat with two men. As if they had not fully recovered from the shock of being hit by a ghost, Wu Chuanbao and Wu Chuanpeng did not make a sound after they got into the car. Their bodies were also trembling faintly, and their faces were a little pale.
“Strange, it’s not a rainy day, so why is there fog everywhere?”
On the way to the town, Su Xiaofan saw that many fields were covered in fog, and the fog was still there.
“Then… That’s the ghost fog!”
Hearing Su Xiaofan’s words, Wu Chuanbao, who was in the back seat, couldn’t help but shiver, and his body trembled even more. “There’s no ghost fog.”
Su Xiaofan pursed his lips. “The village is wide and spacious. It’s just that the water vapor gathers at night. Brother… Don’t scare yourself in the middle of the night.”
“It’s really a ghost fog. Fifth brother and I have been trapped there for four to five hours.”
Wu Chuanbao said with a long face. He had been in the grave-robbing business for more than 20 years. Although he was later in charge of selling stolen goods, Wu Chuanbao had also gone down to the tomb and stripped the clothes of the dead in his earliest days. He was not timid, but this time, he was really frightened.
“By the way, what’s up with you guys? why are you here? Brother Gang, get them a bottle of water to drink…”
Su Xiaofan didn’t argue with the other party. As the old saying went, “believe it or not,” they wouldn’t believe it. The two brothers were so scared that they wouldn’t believe anything he said.
“Thanks… Thank you,” The two brothers seemed to be quite thirsty. They took the water that Zheng Dagang handed over and gulped it down. Wu Chuanpeng even choked and coughed for a long time.
“Actually, we’re all of the same profession. We came to the villages to collect some antiques.”
After drinking a bottle of water, Wu Chuanbao and his brother’s expressions eased up. At the same time, they made up an identity for the two brothers.
“Hehe, I really couldn’t tell. It’s good to be in the same profession, it’s good to be in the same profession. Continue.”
Zheng Dagang smiled when he heard this. He and Su Xiaofan had already seen through the two brothers, but snakes have snakes’ ways and rats have rats’ ways. They didn’t have the same goals, so there was no need to expose them.
“Your Su village doesn’t really welcome us antique dealers, so we went to the Zhou village…” Wu Chuanbao said.
It turned out that after leaving the Su Village at noon, Wu Chuanbao and his brother went to other villages to wander around. Although they said that they were collecting antiques, they were actually exploring the way to see which village had fewer people and sparsely populated land so that it would be convenient for them to Rob the grave in the future.
In the evening, the two brothers were tired and exhausted, so they bought some cooked food at the nearby supermarket in Zhou village and got two bottles of beer each.
He did not drink too much. When he left the Zhou family village, the sky was not completely dark. According to Wu Chuanbao’s estimation, he would be able to stay in town at seven or eight o’clock in the evening.
But what they didn’t expect was that they would be trapped in the threshing ground after walking less than two Li from the Zhou family village.
When they saw the fog, they didn’t pay much attention to it. It was normal for fog to appear in the countryside. When they came into contact with the fog, they only felt a little cold. They thought it was because the temperature had dropped at night.
Wu Chuanbao could not explain what he was feeling. When they first entered the fog, he and Wu Chuanpeng did not notice anything wrong and thought that they were walking normally.
However, as time passed, the two of them realized that something was wrong. It would take at most 30 to 40 minutes to walk from Zhou village to the town, but they had been walking for three to four hours and still had not arrived.
At that time, the two of them were not very clear-headed, and their minds were desperately thinking about how to get out of here, but the more they panicked, the more confused they became. Even when they were exhausted from walking, the two of them were still walking in circles.
The two brothers also knew that they had encountered a ghost. As the saying goes, if you don’t do anything wrong, you won’t be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. If it were an ordinary person, it might be better.
However, the two of them had robbed countless tombs and done countless shameful things, so they were more and more afraid.
If they hadn’t run into Su Xiaofan and the others, the two of them would probably have been able to last until dawn, and even if they didn’t die, they would have been half-dead. “You two, why do you keep looking for me?”
After listening to the two’s explanation, Su Xiaofan opened his mouth. They had seen Su Xiaoxiao this time, and Su Xiaofan was a little afraid. He knew that this group of people did not have a lower limit. If he didn’t resolve this matter, he didn’t know what trouble it would be in the future.
“We’re both willing to buy and sell that thing. I did not lying to you, okay? Speaking of which, if it’s really a bronze from the Han Dynasty, would it only be sold for 8,000 Yuan? ” Su Xiaofan thought that Wu Chuanbao had come to find trouble with him because he was upset about the bronze ware.
it has nothing to do with the eight thousand Yuan. Even if it did, it’s all thanks to you today. It’s over…
Wu Chuanbao sighed and said, “I’s like this. I have an old customer who wants the real Dai Sheng bronze ware. I thought that since you can make a fake one, you must have made it based on the real one. So, I wanted to ask you if you’re selling the real one.”
Wu Chuanbao was very cunning. He didn’t ask Su Xiaofan if he had any real antiques, but asked if he was selling them.
If he asked Su Xiaofan if he had any real antiques and the other party didn’t want to sell them, he would just say he didn’t have any, which would make it difficult for him to make a judgment.
However, if he asked directly if he was selling it, Su Xiaofan would usually subconsciously say no if he had the real thing. That would confirm that the thing was in Su Xiaofan’s hands, and Wu Chuanbao could still find other ways to get it.
“Big brother, I really don’t have the real thing.”
Su Xiaofan didn’t think that much and said with a wry smile, “I found the museum’s internal illustrated handbook in the village and made it according to it. This thing was unearthed more than 20 years ago and was taken to the museum a long time ago. Where do you want me to find the real one for you?” Su Xiaofan was telling the truth. A group of tombs had been unearthed near the Su village a few years ago. As an expert in bronze imitation and had some knowledge of cultural relics, sixth grandfather had been recruited into the archeological team and helped the archeologists excavate the group of tombs with a group of villagers.
Unearthed cultural relics had to be numbered, and it had to be done in great detail. Even a nail had to be recorded. At that time, the excavation, sorting, and records of the bronze ware had been handed over to the sixth master of the Su family.
At that time, they used film to take photos.
Out of his love for bronze, sixth master bought a film at his own expense and borrowed the camera of the archeologists to take photos of the hundreds of pieces of bronze that had been unearthed at that time.
According to archeology regulations, these photos were not allowed to be kept privately. Even if Grandpa Liu had taken them at his own expense, the photos and negatives had to be handed in.
The person in charge of the archeological team at that time was also an archeology professor at Yanjing University. He had a good personal relationship with Grandpa Liu. He knew that Grandpa Liu wanted to imitate these bronze artifacts and needed photos as reference, so he thought of an idea.
The professor submitted a report and mentioned that this archaeological trip was of great significance. He wanted to sort out an illustrated Handbook of bronze and unearthed relics based on the photos of the scene. It could be considered as first-hand information for future scientific researchers to refer to.
Yan Jing’s professor’s report was reasonable, and the higher-ups quickly approved it. Thus, an illustrated Handbook for Internal Reference was produced.
As a member of the archeological team, Grandpa Liu naturally had the right to get an Internal Reference guide. This guide was left in the Su village, and the professor had also given Grandpa Liu a lot of ancient recipes and technical information about making bronze. It was because of this illustrated Handbook and those materials that the Su village’s bronze imitation technology advanced by leaps and bounds, and they were known as the first bronze village.
“So that’s how it is…”
After hearing Su Xiaofan’s explanation, Wu Chuanbao was dumbfounded. It seemed that they would not be able to earn the one million Yuan from Xinjiang.
If the thing was in Su Xiaofan’s hands or in the Su village, he could still think of some crooked ideas to get it, but if it was in the National Museum, he could only give up on this idea.
“Although I made that thing myself, the craftsmanship is still worth a few thousand Su Xiaofan Yuan. You won’t lose out if you buy it.” did want to resolve the matter. If these people were after him, he would get into trouble sooner or later. if you don’t want it, take it back. I’ll refund you the eight thousand Yuan.
“Forget it. You guys saved us today, so we’re even.”
Wu Chuanbao shook his head and looked out the window. He said, “We’ve reached the town. Let us down.”
“Alright, we’ll meet again.” Su Xiaofan stopped the car by the side of the road. When he saw Wu Chuanbao getting out of the car, his body was still trembling, and he suddenly had an idea.
“Hey, wait.”
Su Xiaofan opened the car door and called out to Wu Chuanbao.
“I see that the two of you have dark circles under your eyes and blue faces. This is a sign of being possessed here…”
Su Xiaofan paused, then pointed at Wu Chuanpeng and lowered his voice. “When I brought you guys out of the ghost fog, I realized that the Big Brother had absorbed all the mist into his body. I was afraid that something might happen to you guys again.”
“What?” At Su Xiaofan’s words, Wu Chuanpeng’s pale face turned pale. He had been scared out of his wits by Su Xiaofan. “Fifth brother, do you have anything on you?” Wu Chuanbao frowned. “I didn’t!”
Wu Chuanpeng almost burst into tears. Suddenly, he thought of something and took out a black stone the size of a thumb from his pocket. He said, “Second brother, this is something I got from the bottom last time. It’s been hot these days, and I feel cool holding it, so I brought it with me.”
“You bastard, how can you just carry the things inside?”
Wu Chuanbao was almost angered to death by his fifth brother. He smacked Wu Chuanpeng’s hand and sent the stone flying.
Everything that was brought up from the ground had to be handed to Wu Chuanbao, so Wu Chuanbao knew that the stone would feel a little cold to the touch.
After it was taken out, they would find some experts to identify it. When they saw this small stone, the expert said that it was just an ordinary black stone. It couldn’t even be considered a jade, but it was a little cool. At that time, Wu Chuanbao had brought the stone and some other cultural relics back home. When he was sorting them at home, he had casually thrown the stone into the house.
He did not expect that Wu Chuanpeng would carry it with him.
“Some things can kill people. Alright, we’ll be leaving first…”
eyes casually Su Xiaofan said nonchalantly, his glancing at the side of the road. He greeted Wu Chuanbao, then opened the door and got in the car.
Su Xiaofan wasn’t driving very fast. He kept watching Wu Chuanbao and the other man from the rear-view mirror until the two disappeared around a corner. Su Xiaofan suddenly stepped on the brakes.
