Where do tomb robbers meet in their lives?

"Wait a minute, no one is in a hurry."

After the voice fell, the room was quiet, and a needle could be heard.

Someone among the five old hall masters sitting north and south spoke. It turned out to be old man Situ. Wait for his order.

The old man's full name is Situ Kong, and everyone except me respectfully calls him the Hall Master.The hall master not only manages a few halls in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, but more importantly, he also controls most of the halls in southern Anhui. He is the first brother who my grandfather swore to the Tianmeng, and even my brother respects him three points.

"Miss Liang (little girl), come here, tell your Grandpa Situ, is this kid bullying you?" He looked at Wu Xie.

"No no."

"Is that because of Wu Xie's loss on Eleven?"

"Who can make Eleven suffer? Not at all." I said hastily.

The old man nodded, stopped asking questions, and turned his gaze to Eleven.

Everyone immediately paid attention to our side.

Liang Shiyi couldn't help hesitating for a moment, but only for a moment, and then said straight to the old man, "What is the master's order? If you want to smooth things over, you can avoid it. I must explain it to Wu Xie today."

As soon as the words fell, even my brother, who had a calm expression before, moved in the chair.

Great, Liang Shiyi, you are strong. Didn't you see that the fan in your father's hand was impatiently waving in the air?Ouch, Comrade Liang Zhenning, you wouldn't fly your fan in front of the hall master, would you...

"Grandpa Situ," I put on a rascal smile, but the old man stopped me with a wave.

Seeing that Eleven was amused, he smiled and pointed at Wu Xie: "I don't think you have anything to say to him. You are not convinced by this kid, and you want to beat him up." Some people didn't understand the accent, but those present who understood it all had a terrified expression.

"Lord Master..." Eleven's father immediately stood up, but was waved by old man Situ again, so he could only sit down.

"You are picking things up in front of Shibatang today, you have to think about it clearly, you don't just pick something up."

"I don't have anything unclear. Hall Master, you are right. I am not convinced by him. I haven't seen anything good about him. What about the descendants of the old nine gates? The old nine gates have long been history. We The surname Liang and so many Sushuitang brothers made their way out bit by bit by themselves, not relying on old nine or eight. It’s not that my third sister can’t get married, why did she make it so bad? It’s a big ostentation. Besides, did the old Jiumen give us face before? How many things happened to our Liang family when they were in Shandong, and how did their surnamed Huo and Xie try to squeeze us out. "

This statement seemed to hit everyone's heart, and the expressions of everyone present changed suddenly, and the atmosphere became more dignified.

I didn't expect Liang Shiyi to have such thoughts in his heart all the time. From this point of view, he must have had some doubts about Wu Xie in the first place.When I thought about everything before, I realized that he really behaved normal to Wu Xie, didn't he push him aside when he was on the plane.It's true, my house turned into an upside-down look, and it's really quite anxious.This group of people probably wanted to take advantage of the Wu family's foundation in Changsha for a long time.

The fat man stood up unconvinced: "You yourself said that the surname Huo and the surname Xie have nothing to do with the surname Wu here. Besides, our Xiao Wu opened a shop in Hangzhou, and you Sushuitang will give it to you. Did you take care of him, just opened a fucking one diagonally opposite, have you taken care of his business? My God... oh no, Xiao Wu's West, West... She doesn't fuck around anyone. It’s not going to last day by day until now.”

Fatty's eloquence is not bad, but the more I listen to it later, the more I feel that Wu Xie's store is really miserable, and it is only half a step away from closing down.

The fat man put his hands on both sides of his waist, and said to Liang Du: "I said, what's the matter with you today? You always say that Liang Xiaosan is going to marry Wu Xie, who is going to marry Wu Xie, it's really annoying, It’s already said that we are brothers, what else do you want to do, is it annoying! It’s not over yet!”

"Fatty!" I almost screamed, but was stopped by my brother's eyes.

"Don't interrupt, let him talk."

My god, I squinted my eyes when I saw my brother's calm expression, and my heart almost stopped beating.Fatty, what do you mean, are you fucking going to kick our Liang's restaurant in front of Shibatang? !

The fat man seemed to be in a mood, and he slapped Wu Xie: "You said, is this the case? Didn't all the gold touches given to you that time were returned to Liang Xiaojin? Didn't he explain everything to the girl later? What? This matter has you again."

At this time, Wu Xie was helpless to the extreme, and the eyes of the people around him began to take on a dangerous taste, which probably made him uncomfortable.

He glanced at me and tugged at his collar.

I saw a plain black leather rope protruding from his neck.Taking out the gold-touching talisman hanging around his neck, Wu Xie said, "I really want to return the gold-touching talisman once. It was given to me by Liang Jin and her second brother. It wasn't Xiaojin's willingness, so I can't take it. But the second time It was Xiao Jin who hung it around my neck himself... I thought," he smiled at me, "of course I have to put it away."

I lowered my head a little embarrassedly.

"Ah?" The fat man was in a daze, glanced at me, and said to Wu Xie, "What do you mean, boy, when did this happen?"

"It's in Dou Li. You didn't know where you were wandering back then."

"I said, you really fucking treat me like a brother! Why didn't you tell me about this earlier? I spend most of the time with you, why didn't I find that you were flirting with my third sister."

"What flirting?" Alas, I blushed almost unbearably, "You, don't talk nonsense..."

"It doesn't matter if you flirt with each other, anyway, we are not brothers now, but a relationship between boyfriend and girlfriend."

"Wait a minute," Liang Shiyi interrupted impatiently, "You didn't hear what I said earlier, why did I say it?"

The fat man immediately changed his face with ease: "Brother, I'm sorry, I didn't understand the situation earlier and said some redundant words. Didn't both of them admit it? Just take my words as a fart and let it go .”

Ha ha.

At this moment, old man Situ suddenly smiled.

Everyone around looked at him.

"Oh, little friend, you didn't understand what he meant." The old man pointed at Liang Du and said to the fat man, "Eleventh is because he is not convinced by Wu Xie, and he insists on fighting him."

I looked at Liang Duyi suspiciously: "Eleventh, you...what's going on?"

Liang Shiyi's eyes flicked across my face and landed on Wu Xie's face, and then he smiled without enthusiasm.

"Even if I made a mistake this time. I admit that I was reckless." Then he changed the topic, "However, I really have nothing to regret. Wu Xie, I don't know you well, but judging by your skill, it is true It's nothing great. If you want to talk about the job of fighting, I heard that you have only done it two or three times. I don't know what the third sister likes about you."

On one side, Xiao Shi immediately put his arms around his shoulders, and said with a smile: "This is called radish and green vegetables, and it's up to you. What's the matter with you, Liang Duyi? It's not that you married Wu Xie, and I want you to fancy it. Okay." Okay, there was a misunderstanding, let's continue..."

"Since there is nothing good, why does it have to be him? If he is particularly capable, it's fine, but such an ordinary person can find anyone on the street who is similar to him. If it wasn't for Grandpa's objection, how could his ability be as good as five... ..."

"Liang Duyi!"

My fifth uncle's thunderous roar made me shiver all over my body.

A golden light flashed across my eyes and was caught by Liang Duyi casually.I took a closer look, and it turned out to be my fifth uncle's metal folding fan!

"What nonsense! If you make a mistake, you will make a mistake. I didn't lose too much today! Get out of here! Get out!"

Uncle Wu's reaction was so sudden, he was furious instantly. I was stunned and looked at Liang Duyi, who was blushing. I still remembered the second part of his sentence: How can his ability be compared with... five?What?With whom?Grandpa objects?Against what?

There seems to be a story behind this.

"Okay, okay, fifth, don't get angry." My fourth uncle also stood up to persuade fifth uncle. He frowned and gave Eleven a reproachful look, "It's not a heinous thing for a child to talk indiscriminately. Don't be angry. It’s like this. Zong Han, take your brother out and let him reflect on it.”

"Wait a minute." Old man Situ waved his hand with great interest, "I said earlier that if you want to stir up trouble in the hall, it's not as simple as just passing it by. Otherwise, how can we do it if there are people stirring up trouble at both ends in the next three days .We can't break the rules. What do you think of the young master?" The old man looked at my brother leisurely.After these words were finished, the other four of the old school also nodded in agreement.

When I saw Liang Siqi's expression, I couldn't help but sigh to myself. My brother really minds the title "Little Master". In this situation, an inappropriate analogy is like even if Jiaqing becomes emperor, there is Qianlong at the top, and a bunch of ministers below. From time to time, we have to bring up the Supreme Emperor to talk about things. I guess this feeling is not good.Which of these old-school hall masters did not rely on their status as "assistant ministers" to suppress the arrogance of the young master.

My brother looked at Liang Shiyi with a dark face, and his tone was very straightforward: "That's right. When things are provoked, there must be an explanation. If Eleven says he is not convinced, then he must be convinced."

Uncle Wu was so angry that he sat down on a chair, while Uncle Fourth persuaded him.Liang Xiaoshi sighed at me, patted Eleven on the shoulder and sat back by himself.

My heart sank.

Liang Siqi continued: "Wen fighting or martial fighting, I will choose one for you on November [-], but no matter which one, if you lose, then you must be convinced and never mention it again. If you win..." He looked at Wu Xie and said, "Then Wu Xie has nothing to do with us in Sushuitang from now on, you have to return the golden amulet to me. Think about it for yourself, Xiao Jin, if you still want to be with him, your dowry will be there is none left."

"I don't want the dowry anymore. I don't want to fight civilly or violently. Let's abstain, abstain." I shamelessly raised my hand and said to myself, what's so great about the dowry, and I can't die of hunger.

My words immediately aroused the whispers of the people around me.My brother gave me a deep look, I shrank my neck, rubbed my head and gave him a coquettish smile.

"Sister Liang, you fucking have confidence in our innocence! Are we just afraid of getting into trouble?" The fat man actually stopped doing it. Ci said, "Master Wu Xiaosan, you can be regarded as the heir of the Nine Schools, and I, Fatty Wang, are also well-known in the Northern School. Today, we can't lose face (lose face) in front of people surnamed Liang. I'm underestimated by the southern faction, I'm a fat man, don't mess with me in the future! It doesn't matter whether it is a literary fight or a martial fight, we will accompany you to the end."

Fat Lord, I really want to give you a slap in the face: You are so fucking simple, what if your brother fights with my Shishiwu?Liang Duyi has never lost a lot of fights like this bastard, and he can even go back and forth with his brother in the fight. Aren't you fucking cheating on your brother!

This kid Wu Xie is really able to calm down, and he is not very excited now, but I can see that he is also a little nervous.I saw him turn to my brother and said: "Master Liang, anyway, I am here today, and there is nothing to back down. There is no problem if you want to discuss. But since the matter was provoked by Brother Eleven, we also accepted it. We have to choose, which is fair, how about it?"

"I think the third master's words are on the way," Xiao Duan Ying said to my brother, "the master may as well agree to him, so that this Northern School Fatty Wang knows that our Sushuitang is also reasonable."

Xiao Duan, like my elder brother, is a member of the new school. He is usually called the boss, but he probably feels uncomfortable seeing old man Situ call him "little master". This time, he changed his name to "big master". Old school naysayers.As soon as he said that Laoqian was a newcomer, he waved his flag in agreement. ——Factional battles will never be forgotten no matter when.

My brother nodded: "Okay. Take your pick, Wendou or Wudou."

Wu Xie said, "I picked the essay."

I glanced at Wu Xie, and said to myself: Do you know what Wendou is?So calm and relaxed.But at least I won't be beaten by Eleven Fatty, and I'm relieved.

My brother nodded and asked, "Which one do you choose?"

Seeing Wu Xie in a daze, I knew that the little profiteer hadn't figured out what Wendou was, so I hurriedly said, "Let's pick the eye."

My brother glared at me: "I asked Wu Xie, not you. If you talk too much, I'll ask someone to take you out."

"Oh." I obediently shut up.

Wu Xie gave me a comforting smile and said, "Just palm your eyes."

My family's Wendou is divided into "palm eye" and "overshoot".Palm Eye is to "look at ancient knowledge" to explain what you see in as much detail as possible, to test your own vision, and sometimes throw you a high imitation fake, if you miss it at the beginning, you will basically fail .And overshooting is to ask people to cover the antique with a piece of black cloth, and each guess what is under the cloth head, the more detailed the better.But I think at Wu Xie's age, he may not be able to perform double-shooting. This is something that an old man like my grandfather can play well. Experience, vision, aesthetics, and courage are all indispensable.These [-] halls have handled a lot of various items, and none of them have some knowledge about antiquities. If Wu Xie guessed a joke, it would be bad for them to underestimate Wu Xie.Still palms are safer.Even if it's incomplete, it won't go too far.

As for who loses and who wins, I can't tell clearly. Although Liang Shiyi is a bit of a dud, his ability to hold eyes is quite high among the juniors.Before my grandpa and grandpa broke up completely, he still studied under old man Xu's shopkeeper Xue Er for three years. I don't know if Wu Xie and his third uncle taught him well.

Old man Situ heard what Wu Xie said, and nodded to my brother: "How will the little master arrange it?"

My brother called Yin Wu and whispered a few words to him, and after a while there was a fine dark red wooden box on the black rosewood round table in the middle of the room.Yin Wu opened the box, and I took a look. It was a blue-and-white porcelain bottle less than half a meter long. A beautiful vase.

I couldn't understand which dynasty this vase belonged to. I looked at Wu Xie nervously. I saw him staring at the vase carefully, but he didn't express anything special. I said to myself, if you want a dowry, you must recognize it, little profiteer. This bottle, the most important thing is that these people in Sushuitang should not underestimate you.

Yin Wu's clerk put on gloves and carefully lifted the bottle, and held it in front of Wu Xie and Liang Shiyi for a while, while someone kept a timer to ensure that they each looked at the body of the bottle for one minute.The fat man was scratching his ears and cheeks, trying to take another look, but the waiter shook his hand, signaling him to back away, and he went around and put the bottle on the wooden table.

My brother took out a coin, and the two of them picked heads and tails. My brother tossed the coin: tails, Wu Xie first.

"Mr. Wu, the rules are like this," Yin Wu explained to Wu Xie in a very good manner, with a friendly attitude, "Everyone can think for 5 minutes before speaking, and my buddy will give you a time. After 5 minutes, it can't be said The one who comes is considered a failure. Generally speaking first, you must determine the dynasty of the palm, and then you can play it as you like. There are two options. The first is to say everything you know at once. If the next person does not If you say what you say first, you win. But this method is very risky. You have said everything you know, and others have something to add, and it is your turn, but you have nothing to say. This is considered a loss. For the second type, of course, one point or two points are said every time. It depends on who can’t continue or makes a mistake in the last turn, and it will be considered as a loss. Let’s make it clear that we do not accept fakes in Sushuitang, so this thing is not a fake. In addition, everyone knows that the Liang family loves to collect things from the Ming Dynasty, so to ensure fairness, the bottle this time is not from the Ming Dynasty."

The fat man's eyes widened: "What? Isn't this thing from the Ming Dynasty? Fuck it!"

Seeing Wu Xie also showing a little surprise, I thought, this is terrible, maybe the little profiteer made a mistake before he guessed it!

My brother snapped his fingers: "Let's get started. The old rule is to end the dynasty first."

Wu Xie stared at the bottle for a while, and said, "This is a plum vase. The plum vase began in the Tang Dynasty, but the bottles at that time were relatively rough and not as fine. So this bottle is not from the Tang Dynasty. "Thinking for a while, he said again: "The next ones are Song, Yuan, Ming, Qing, and the Republic of China. Since I said earlier that this is not a bottle of the Ming Dynasty, then the rest are Song, Yuan, Qing, and the Republic of China. .This sparse painting style is a bit like the style of the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China..."

"So this is something from the Republic of China?" Fatty asked aside.

"I said... maybe," Wu Xie immediately shook his head again, "I don't think it's possible. The main reason is that if this thing is from the Republic of China, then nine out of ten of it came from a folk kiln. And the folk kiln in the Republic of China is the most famous It seems to be the famille rose of 'Eight Friends of Zhushan', this kind of blue and white porcelain was at best an exquisite imitation at the time." He smiled at Yin Wu, "I think Sushuitang should collect some more valuable things."

Oh, Dad Wu, I'm really sweating for you.

You fucking talk about it, but you don’t actually see what it is at all, you’re doing elimination, hey!Now what?Song, Yuan, and Qing are left, what are you going to do now?

Fatty was also anxious on the side: "Naively, have you seen any tricks? Come and have a good time!"

"Then Qing Dynasty."

"What do you mean by 'then the Qing Dynasty'? You fucking guessed it. Fat Lord, my fame will be ruined by you in less than 5 minutes. Take a closer look, take a closer look!"

"It's useless to look at it again. I think the Qing Dynasty is the Qing Dynasty." Wu Xie waved his hand, "Is there anything I don't want to say? Luck is also a kind of strength."

I couldn't help laughing out "puchi", Wu Xie, how dare you say that from a certain point of view, you are considered magnanimous, anyway, anyway, I didn't think about relying on Sushuitang or anything, if there is no dowry, there will be no dowry , Does my husband need someone else to approve it?

Duan "haha" also laughed: "Interesting and interesting! We had dinner, drank wine, and talked so much tonight, but the words of Mr. Wu Xiaosan were the most interesting! How about it, Yin Er, this bottle How to say?"

Before Yin Wu could speak, Liang Shiyi rushed ahead of him: "This is a blue and white plum vase from the early Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty. It depicts dried plum flowers and birds."

As soon as his words fell, the smile on Yin Wu's face froze, and it seemed that he was completely hit.

"The reason why it is said to be from the early Kangxi period is mainly because of the painting style on this plum vase. It was originally a plum blossom, but the flowers and leaves withered, and the bird perched on the branch rolled its eyes, which is similar to the painting by Zhu Da of 'Bada Shanren'. The deer, fish, and birds are all in the same style, and they all roll their eyes. Zhu Da is a descendant of the Ming Dynasty royal family. With such pain, they put their hearts on their creations, comparing the country to a dead plum branch, and comparing themselves to a frightened bird with nowhere to hide, which means that they pick all the cold branches and refuse to live. The times, and the Shunzhi period, why do you say that this is not the blue and white porcelain of Shunzhi? It is because the society was in turmoil at that time, a lot of waste was waiting to be rebuilt, the imperial kiln factory was not fully restored, the porcelain industry was in depression, and there were fewer blue and white wares, mainly porcelain for daily use. , I have never seen this kind of ornamental plum vase on the market. Moreover, the blue and white painting style of Shunzhi is not so rigorous and delicate. So this is a blue and white plum vase from the early Kangxi period."

The voice fell, and the surroundings were silent.

After a while, old man Situ clapped his hands.

"Wonderful, very exciting." The old man laughed again "hehe", "Eleventh has studied with Xue Er for three years, it seems that he didn't do it for nothing."

This time even the fat man was speechless, he could only say "Yo ha" and stared at Liang Shiyi.

My brother looked at Wu Xie and asked, "Do you have anything to add?"

Wu Xie simply said: "No more, Eleven's talk is very exciting, I'm willing to bow down." He smiled at me and said, "Xiao Jin, your brother seems to be saving the dowry money."

I waved my hand indifferently and said: "Okay, okay, anyway, porcelain is not your strong point, you can see that those calligraphy, paintings and inscriptions are quite reliable. Eleven, this is considered a test, and this matter is over Come on. You're going to lose my temper if you pester me any longer."

My sentence seemed to have given him a big blow. He was in a daze for a while before sighing: "Sister, do you really understand? I really don't understand..."

The fat man probably lost so quickly, and he felt upset, so he raised his voice immediately: "I said, why do you manage so leniently? It's enough for the young man and the young man to take a fancy to him. I don't need you to be troublesome. Thank you!"

Wu Xie stopped Fatty, thought for a while, and said, "Now that we've reached this point, I have to explain some things."

Oh oh, seeing Wu Xie's serious expression, I'm looking forward to what he's going to say next, hey, could it be a confession of love, oops, then why am I embarrassed, really.

To my surprise, he took out a handful of crooked things from the backpack he was carrying.When I saw it, it turned out to be my cross knife that had changed beyond recognition.

"Since it's a palm eye, I have something here for everyone to see." Wu Xie said and raised the wreckage of the cross knife that had turned into broken copper and iron over his head for everyone to see, "Who can tell what it was originally? thing?"

This time, the four seats all started to ask again.Liang Shiyi frowned as if thinking about what Wu Xie was planning.

"How is it? Can you recognize what this is?" Wu Xie handed the thing to Liang Shiyi.

Liang Shiyi had to admit: "I don't know, what is this?"

"It's the cross dagger that brother Xiao Jin made for her." Wu Xie said while pointing, "This end of the dagger was originally connected to a chain, but now there is only a little remnant. It was broken during an operation. I won’t introduce how dangerous the situation was at that time, so as not to be suspected of bragging.” I remembered that it was the first time I met Wu Xie, my cross dagger was mauled by the head of the blood corpse, and it cost me a lot Only then did he take out his strength. "The handle of the knife on this side has burnt marks, because we unfortunately killed a weet king, so we had to burn things to drive away a large number of corpse weeters that surrounded us."

As soon as Wu Xie finished speaking, someone in the room asked: "Wu Xiaosan said, is that the kind of blue and black corpse that can eat human flesh?"

"Yes."

With his affirmation, the people around him were surprised to varying degrees.Let’s say that none of the hall masters and pantou present at Sushuitang have had one or two fighting experiences. I have never met them and I have heard people say that where there is a king of weeds, there are big flesh-eating corpses. .As soon as Wu Xie said this, someone cast a suspicious look at my brother, and he nodded in confirmation.

There was a look of awe on someone's face.

Wu Xie continued.

"This dagger has actually been soaked in seawater for a while, and there is a bit of rust in the groove on the side. It was Xiao Jin who accidentally fell into the sea when he was in Xisha. After that, I asked myself for a long time , why didn't I hold her back then. If God gave me another chance, I would never let go. Fortunately, I am lucky." He winked at me.

He turned over the blade: "There used to be a side blade here, but I stabbed it in order to save Xiao Jin. The snake was huge, and I spent a lot of effort to free Xiao Jin, but the side blade was completely broken." Broken." That's right, that time when the big snake wrapped me up like a rice dumpling, it was Wu Xie who smashed the body of the snake to keep me from suffocating, he must have gone all out, that's why he broke the blade.

"It not only saved Xiao Jin, but also saved me once. Now it turned into this distorted appearance because it happened to block my chest when the accident happened." Speaking of which, Liang Shuang's materialized monster almost overwhelmed him. We were all killed, but fortunately it was on my knife, otherwise, would Wu Xie still be alive?

Wu Xie said to the bewildered Liang Shishi: "Why did I know it was damaged like this? It's because I was by Xiaojin's side every time it suffered wear and tear. I knew all the dangers she experienced. I spent it with her. Why does it become like this, and I still carry it with me? It is because it has saved the lives of both of us many times, so even if it becomes like this, I will not take it Throw it away. There is another reason." He turned to look at my brother, "Xiao Jin said that this knife was specially made by her elder brother. It is purely handmade. She cherishes it very much and will sharpen it after a while."

Wu Xie put away the knife and put it back in the backpack.

"There are some things that people don't know, and you can make up for it through learning experience. Some things are born in the heart, and whether you can do it or not depends on your heart and courage. I really lost the palm of the eye. I have nothing to say. So I can't take Xiao Jin's dowry, but I can take away the rest of the dowry."

After finishing speaking, he took off the touch gold talisman and put it on the mahogany table, and took my hand: "Fatty, we should have nothing to do here, let's go."

The author has something to say:

Haha, I'm going to see my parents soon~
