Seven Evil Slips:

The employer is an old man surnamed Yan, in his seventies, with white hair all over his head, wearing a neat double-breasted coat, with a straight waist, but his eyes are not good, they are foggy and gloomy.

Sure enough, the eyes are the **** of energy, the eyes are dull, and the spirit of the whole person is compromised.

The girl who was kicked into the water tank by Muyo is the granddaughter of the old man named Yan Hongsha. She didn't say anything about changing clothes. The child is stuck to the face, black and white are distinct, like a person in a painting.

Old man Yan talked to Zheng Mingshan first, and his words were very polite. Kiyo thought, the brother should have dealt with this person before, but he was not that familiar.

Old Man Yan spoke to her again, kindly and politely: "It's not a tricky thing. If you take a trip and go out for a short distance, we will cover your basic necessities, food, housing and transportation. The shortest period is two or three days, and the longest period is no more than five or six days. The price It's 20,000 yuan, so pay a deposit of 10,000 yuan first, what do you think?"

Kiyo looked at the old man Yan, and didn't know what expression to use to welcome the news.

In just a few days, 20,000!

She was a little flustered, so she was so valuable.

Zheng Mingshan coughed and glanced at her again, which meant: Hold on tight, don't act like you haven't seen the world.

The old man Yan ordered Yan Hongsha again: "Hongsha, tell Muyo what we do."

Yan Hongsha hummed, and first helped Old Man Yan put on the blindfold. It was an ermine gray silk satin mask, with a faint scent of traditional Chinese medicine.

Zheng Mingshan stood up and said, "I won't listen, just wait outside."

This is a rule, just like you can't spy on people and learn martial arts. When people want to talk about private things, you'd better avoid it actively. It won't look good when the master comes to catch up.

Old man Yan put on a blindfold and bowed his hands to his position, as if thanking him for his knowledge.

Yan Hongsha's first sentence is: "We are treasure hunters, have you heard that?"

I haven't heard of it, but the word "treasure" always makes people feel uneasy. Kiyo looked at her: "It's not illegal, right? It's not stealing... treasure, right?"

Yan Hongsha glanced at her, but the old man Yan smiled slightly.

"My grandfather showed you the words on the table before. If you don't understand, I will explain to you. It mentioned gold, silver, jewelry and jade. These things were used in ancient times, even in modern times. It is the most precious and the most precious."

Kiyo did not refute, but in her heart, she felt that the money was more affordable.

"However, gold and silver are formed in the opposite way to jewelry and jade. Gold and silver are all buried in deep soil, and they inherit the essence of the sun. Jewelry and jade are protected by the moonlight, not covered by soil. We have In a word, precious stones are in the well, piercing the blue sky, pearls are in the deep abyss, and jade is in the steep beach, but they are covered by the brightness of the sky and the color of the water."

Yan Hongsha shook her head, she has shown off to many people with these polite words.

Kiyo vaguely understood what this meant: gemstones in the well pierced the blue sky, pearls were in deep water, and jade was in the precipitous and rapid river beach, all covered by bright sky or river water.

Her heart skipped a beat: The gem is in the well. There was a well without water in the yard just now, and Yan Hongsha also called herself "treasure mining", so they specialize in picking gems?

"The price of these gems may not be as high as the top beads and jade, but the exquisite products are also very valuable. The common ones include cat's eye, amber, star Chinese sand, emerald, rose gemstone, boiled sea Jindan, etc., etc. The ancients have done inductive research on China's treasure production areas, and there are two major production treasure areas."

As she spoke, she turned to the wall. There was a big leather map hanging on the wall. The map was old and obviously very old. Feeling overwhelmed.

"One piece is the 'Western Region States'. It is not surprising that today it is the Xinjiang area. Xinjiang is full of treasures, such as Hetian jade, red dates, cantaloupe, raisins, and lamb skewers. ..."

The old man Yan coughed twice, Kiyo held back his smile and cooperated with her: "Well, I also like lamb skewers."

"The other one, the book says 'Yunnan Golden Teeth Guard and Lijiang', the Golden Teeth Guard refers to the area from the Lancang River to Baoshan, in short, it is Yunnan. So my grandfather and I live in Kunming, and it is convenient to go anywhere in Yunnan, Xinjiang Well, I'm not used to it."

Kiyo thought for a while, she didn't know much about gems, but she still had some common sense: "Gems...should be mined from mine deposits, right? The kind you're talking about is a mine, and this kind of mine is also It's covered with soil."

The expression on Yan Hongsha's face seemed to say: I knew you would ask that.

"The business of mining treasures is handed down from generation to generation by the family. The number of people is small. If you are lucky, you can live a lifetime if you dig a well. Is it worthwhile to mine? The wells we dig are the kind of wells I mentioned,' Shangtou Azure's well!"

Kiyo's temperament, come quickly to eat the soft but not the hard, Yan Hongsha is fierce, she is not polite to follow: "That kind of well is always open, unless in no man's land, if there is someone, it will be long ago Passers-by picked up and left."

Yan Hongsha laughed three times "hahaha", followed by a pause. She laughed three times before she finished laughing the word "ha": "I knew you didn't understand anything, and the pearls are still hidden, and the jade is still there." It grows in Puli, do you think that the gemstones are at the bottom of the well, and the golden light blinds your eyes? What you pick up are all stones, and you have to hand them over to the carpenter to open them, so that you can know what treasures are inside."

Kiyo fell silent, she really didn't understand, she really thought that she had entered the treasure of the Forty Thieves, and when she stepped down the well, her eyes were full of green eyes.

It turns out that there are ordinary stones at the bottom of the well.

Yan Hongsha once again corrected her erroneous conjecture: "Ordinary people will die if they go down rashly. It is recorded in the book, 'Precious Qi is like mist, dense in the well, and people who eat it for a long time will die'."

Is there any poisonous gas? Kiyoto felt that 20,000 yuan was not a lot, and immediately declared: "I will not go down the well."

Yan Hongsha snorted: "Do you think you can go down the well if you want to go down the well? You have to practice to go down the well."

The old head of Yan knew what Muyo was thinking: "This treasure gas is actually not poisonous gas, but since ancient times, good things have been guarded by evil things, just like in the legend that pearls are guarded by dragons, and those who produce treasures are guarded by dragons. There is also deadly treasure gas in the well. Therefore, when you go down the well, there must be someone on the well. The treasure hunter has a bag and a bell on his body. Ring the bell immediately, and when the people above hear the bell, they will immediately pull them up.”

Kiyo stared at the bell on Yan Hongsha's waist.

Finally I know what such a big bell is for.

She digested what she heard, so what the grandpa and grandson usually do is to go to remote places to find such a mine?

No wonder they need someone to accompany and protect them. Since the Yan family has been mining treasures for generations, they have unique ways of dealing with treasure aura. There are people waiting.

If she doesn't want to go down the well, this job will be pleasing to the eye and cute. If you can earn money and open your eyes, why not do it?

Kiyo nodded: "That's fine, I'm fine. Where is the well we're going to go down this trip? Yunnan? Or...Xinjiang?"

Yan Hongsha didn't speak for a while, and when she spoke again, she hesitated: "Our trip is not going down the well..."

Not going down the well? Didn't go down the well and told her how to pick treasures for a long time? Like to talk so much?

Yan Hongsha said: "Come with me, go to my room, and show you something."

Without waiting for Kiyo's consent, she turned around and walked towards the back hall. Kiyo thought about it, and decided to follow. Just as she stood up, the door rang, and a woman dressed as a part-time worker came in with a bowl of soup.

"Mister, soup is ready."

What soup? It smelled really weird, and when I glanced at it, there were chrysanthemums floating on the soup.

The woman seemed to see Muyo's doubts, and introduced to her with a smile: "Chicken liver and chrysanthemum flower soup, one price for chicken liver, three chrysanthemum flowers. Would you like a bowl too?"

Can chicken liver be cooked with chrysanthemum?

Kiyo felt that he really knew too little.

***

Yanhongsa showed Kiyo a video.

The time is night, but the moonlight is clear, and the pixels of the camera are not bad, unlike some cameras, which are full of noise.

It seems to be at the water's edge, or at the seaside, the wind is calm, the sea surface is covered with silk folds like spreading lines, the moon is reflected on the water, like endless phosphorescent dots, and like a huge uneven mirror.

Yan Hongsha pointed to the center of the screen: "Here, look."

What is that? A dark mass.

The photographer seemed to have anticipated what the viewer was thinking, and the next second, the camera zoomed in.

It's really not small, it must be the size of a small round tabletop, but what is it?

As if to help her out, that thing suddenly stretched a line.

Kiyo's eyes widened suddenly.

"This, this is..."

"That's right, clam, have you ever seen such a big clam?"

Kiyo held his breath and did not speak. On the screen, the slowly moving body of the clam.

There is a voice-over on the screen, which is a man's excited voice: "I have never seen such a big clam. It is basking in the moon now. It is said that on the night of the full moon, the old clam will be very happy and will follow the moon. Rising in the east and sinking in the west, you keep turning your body to get the moonlight..."

He also said: "I checked before, the largest pearl in the world, also known as the 'Pearl of Laozi', is the size of a human head, and now it is estimated to be worth more than 20 million US dollars. If such a large oyster produces pearls, the value is simply It's unimaginable...I'm going to take a closer look."

The video stops here.

Yan Hongsha explained to her: "The one who spoke was my uncle, Yan Jiuxiao."

"Uncle is the treasure hunter of our Yan family, but our family has not opened for many years, because my grandpa's eyesight is not good."

Picking treasures, even if you know that the treasures are in the well, you can't look for them like a blind man with a blindfolded head. How easy is it to identify a faint precious qi in the turbid qi?

So the key to picking treasures is not whether you can pick them, but whether you can distinguish them.

However, there is also a fairness in the world. If you gain one, you will lose it. Old man Yan's eyes can't see strong light, and he rarely sees sunlight. Became half-blind, it is difficult to see anything.

The irony is that you can't see anything else, barely, but you can still see the aura.

The old man Yan calmed down and seduced his eyes, and by the way taught his granddaughter Yan Hongsha to learn to go down the well, but Yan Jiuxiao couldn't stay. Take your chance".

Privately, he said to Yan Hongsha: "We are treasure hunters, and we don't miss treasures. The treasures are not limited to gems. There are pearls in the south and jade in the west. If there is a chance, we might as well add a foot." .”

After all, Xinjiang has a long way to go, and Yanjiuxiaotou Station went to Hepu, Guangxi.

Ten days ago, he called and told Yan Hongsha that in Hepu, he had heard of a village named Wuzhu, which was a good place, because he heard that the village practiced the ancestors’ ancestors for generations. The remaining methods of picking pearls are all natural beads, never artificial breeding.

The vast majority of treasure hunters feel that artificial carving and grinding, after all, have more ax and chisel marks, which is inferior to natural cultivation. It's as if the whole thing is of course a beauty, but when compared in front of a naturally beautiful person, there is less natural halo.

What made him even more happy was that he heard that Wuzhu Village had been abandoned.

Yan Hongsha still remembers his excited tone when he spoke: "I heard that it has been abandoned for several years, and the old clam can only spit out pearls without being disturbed by others. People have drowned in the sea, and the people in the nearby villages are afraid to come here. Happy to be quiet. Maybe, I can pick up a treasure in this piece of water."

A few days later, he sent Yan Hongsha the video he saw above.

Guangxi, Hepu, and Wuzhu Village are really... predestined.

Kiyo asked her: "And then?"

"There is no more, and then, my uncle has no news."

Kiyo's back felt a little chilly.

Yan Hongsha didn't say a word, actually it wasn't that she didn't hear from her, yes, one night, she was sleeping in a daze, dreaming, she had received a call from Yan Jiuxiao.

I can't tell if it's a dream or a phone call, maybe it's a dream.

In the dream, Yan Jiuxiao was crawling on the bottom of the sea, his hands sunk deeply into the sand, the current under the sea pushed his trembling body, his face was pale, his eyes were bloodshot, and he suddenly met her eyes.

He called her with a crying voice: "Hongsha, I don't want to die here..."

Yan Hongsha woke up with a jolt, and found that she was really answering the phone. On the other end of the phone, the sound of the waves was so loud.

She trembled and asked softly, "Uncle?"
