Chapter 70 -70

Bingliuzi said: "It's an enemy, and it's a universal enemy, so after I wandered from Shandong to Baoxing County, I entered the coffin shop. Seeing that I was adaptable to the situation, I sent me to the calligraphy and painting shop to be their spy."

So that's it. Now I can finally understand why every time I take Wanzi to my destination, I will encounter another group of fake antiques. It turned out that Bingliuzi informed the coffin shop in advance, and the coffin shop sent someone to wait on the road. And the last time I was kind to Shunwa, Bingliuzi took Wanzi to Houli Village, and he didn't encounter fake antiques on the way because Bingliuzi didn't have time to notify the coffin shop.

But why did Bingliuzi leave the coffin shop again?

Bingliuzi said: "The coffin shop is a ruthless group and does everything. After the old man with coarse cloth and the old man goat failed, the coffin shop took the blame on me. I knew that once I was suspicious, the outcome would be bad, so I thought about leaving them."

I asked: "What is the conflict between the coffin shop and the calligraphy and painting shop? How come it is like a deep feud."

Bingliuzi said: "Neither of these are good things. In fact, there is no good thing for those who do old business."

The old man goat didn't work here anymore, so we thought about finding another person.

What we think of is the second person who is a mysterious old man. The mysterious old man lives in Houli Village among the mountains and ridges. The sky is high and the emperor is far away. The road is rugged and difficult to walk. No one would have thought that we would hide there.

We began to walk along the country road and the roadless ridge to Houli Village. Along the way, we saw no one, only hares and pheasants, and grasshoppers jumping around in the grass.

The people from the county government controlled all the thoroughfares and checked every pedestrian, but no one could guess that we were walking through the deserted hills.

When we arrived at Houli Village, it was already afternoon. Houli Village was hidden in the folds of the mountains and hidden in the dense jungle. If we didn't pay attention, even if we walked by the entrance of the village, we wouldn't notice that there was actually a village here.

We wandered around Houli Village and saw that the situation was different from the last time. When we came here last time, every household had old calligraphy and paintings on the walls, but this time we couldn't see them, and only saw the bare gables with dust falling.

We came to the mysterious old man's house, and the mysterious old man was surprised by our arrival. We took out the golden seal in our arms and handed it to him. He looked left and right, and took out a balance, a porcelain basin with gaps, several porcelain cups of different sizes, and several numbers were marked on the outside of the porcelain cup.

The mysterious old man first filled the porcelain basin with water, then put the gold seal in it. The water surface was flooded with the gold seal, and the overflowing water flowed out of the gap in the porcelain basin, just filling the small porcelain cup marked No. 2.

Then, the mysterious old man put the golden seal in a porcelain bowl and placed it on one side of the balance, and placed another porcelain bowl of the same size on the other side of the balance, which was inclined toward the golden seal. Then, he picked up the small porcelain cup of No. 2 and added water to the empty porcelain bowl one by one. When the tenth cup was added, the two sides of the balance were balanced.

The mysterious old man said: "This is not a gold seal, it is a bronze seal."

Bingliuzi and I were both shocked. How could it be a copper seal? The emperor gave the gold seal, so it could only be a gold seal. How could it be a copper seal?

The mysterious old man said: "If eight cups of water can be kept flat, it proves that it is an iron seal; if ten times the water can be kept flat, it means it is a copper seal; if 20 cups of water can be kept flat, it means it is a gold seal."

I said, "Is there any fake gold seal given by the emperor?"

The mysterious old man said: "The emperor gave it to you without any falsehood, but I don't know when the golden seal was replaced with a copper seal."

I was surprised. In the dignified Baoxing County, even the gold seals given by the emperor in the county government are fake. What else can be fake? In this dirty county, husband and wife's relationship, business dealings, old antiques, classmates' friendship, drinking in the hotel, ears in the inn, fists and bowing in the streets and alleys... fakes are everywhere, this whole city is built with falsehood.

We were busy for many days, but the last thing we stole was a fake antique.

The man who stole the suit from the inn was about to spend all his money. He thought that the Golden Seal would be able to make a lot of money by taking action. We hid far away and went to the two lakes to live in the south. The two lakes were the land of rice and grain in China, which was rich and prosperous. However, now, the Golden Seal is a fake, worthless. We were short of money and didn’t even have money on the road. What should we do now?

That night, we lived in the home of the mysterious old man. In our impression, this old man was humble and polite, taciturn, and was a kind-hearted country old man. In the food chain of old business, he might be at the end of the food chain like us.

In the middle of the night, I got up and wanted to pee. When I saw the room where the mysterious old man lived opposite, I leaned over curiously and wanted to see what the mysterious old man was doing inside.

I looked inside through the crack of the door and saw Shunwa inside and an old man I didn't know. They discussed inside that they wanted to kill us, dig a pit and bury it, and did it without realizing it. If two of me were caught by the government, they would give them everything.

Shunwa and the old man I have never met both call the mysterious old man the leader.

It turned out that this mysterious old man was not a small character at the end of the food chain, but Lao Jiang, who was at the top of the food chain. Bingliuzi and I were both out of sight.

I didn't bother to pee, so I quietly returned to the room, pushed Bingliuzi to wake him up, and told him the truth.

Bingliuzi said: "Let's run away."

We walked out of the door and into the yard. Suddenly, the door opposite opened and Shunwa and the two old men walked out of them, holding ropes and knives in their hands.

I was scared and peeeded my pants.

We lay on the ground, motionless, like two toads crawling in the mud of the pond.

Shunwa led the two old men straight to the house where we were staying. The mysterious old man reached into the bed we had just left. I heard him say, "The bed is still hot, I haven't run far away, chase me." They ran out of the yard with knives and ropes one after another. Bingliuzi and I stood up quietly.

In the sky, countless stars are flickering.

After the footsteps chasing us left, we quickly left the courtyard gate and left Houli Village. There was only one road leading to Houli Village. They chased us along this road, and we could only leave along this road.

After running dozens of meters away, Bingliuzi pressed me down on the side of the road and asked, "What's wrong?"

Bingliuzi said: "After they chased for a while, they would definitely return without us. When they passed, we would go. If they ran over like this, they would just meet them."

I nodded and said yes.

Since I was sold to others by human traffickers, I have been in the world for several years now. I think I am an old world, but in fact I am still a rookie.

Every step in the world is full of traps. If you are not careful, you will be crushed to pieces.

We waited in the dark grass for a short time, but we saw Shunwa and the others walking back. When they walked back, they followed one by one, each with a distance of more than ten meters. Their footsteps were very light, just like fine sand falling on white paper, looming in the sound of insects around them.

One, two, three, with the help of the dim starlight, seeing them all walking over, Bingliuzi and I stood up quietly and walked out of the mountain.

However, as we had just walked a few dozen meters, we heard footsteps chasing behind us, and Shunwa was shouting: "Little bastard, stop."

We were in panic and didn't even dare to turn our heads back, and ran forward desperately.

In front of us was a forest of black wings, and we crashed into it. On the tree branch, an owl was frightened and screamed repeatedly, and the screams were as sharp as glass sliding.

In the forest, we could only grop our trunks and walk forward. However, there were endless rustling sounds under our feet, and every step we took, we would make such a sound. This dark forest is too old, and the fallen leaves, which have accumulated over the years, have laid a thick layer under the trees. We listened in a slant and heard far away.

There were also rustling footsteps coming from the place.

They caught up.

We dare not walk because as long as we walk, we will expose our whereabouts.

I asked Bingliuzi: "Can you climb trees?"

Bingliuzi said: "Yes."

I climbed up a big tree beside me in just a few strokes. The life of a circus has trained me two extraordinary skills: climbing trees and walking ropes. No matter how tall a tree is, I can climb up in just a few strokes. My skills are as flexible as a monkey.

After I climbed up the big tree, I waited for a long time before I waited until I climbed up. I reached over and felt Ice trembling all over. He held the branches, as nervous as a sloth.

Suddenly, a scream came from below.

I heard Shunwa ask, "What's wrong?"

A voice said, "My legs are clamped."

I was so excited that I wanted to laugh loudly, but I quickly held it back. I have seen this kind of wolf-catching clip. Once I stepped on it, it would be bitten by two jagged iron pieces. The two jagged iron pieces were connected by springs, and they were full of tenacity. Its name is the wolf clip. If a heavy wolf clip is clamped, the wolf would not be able to escape. If a wolf wants to survive, there is only one way, which is to bite off its own leg and run away with three legs. The wolf with only three legs left will become extremely cunning and cunning, and extremely cruel. This wolf is called a lame wolf.

People who use wooden sticks to beat wolves, cannot lift them up, because the wolf is quick to move. Your wooden stick has just been raised, and it has already pounced on you. There are two ways to beat wolves with wooden sticks. One is to poke them with a stick so that they have no chance to get close to them; the other is to sweep them with a stick. The wolf has a copper head, iron waist, and numb legs. It has developed a golden bell cover iron cloth shirt, but the legs are his life gate. As long as it breaks its legs, it dares not attack. However, using the two-word trick of poking and sweeping is not useful for lame wolves. Because a lame wolve with three legs will jump very high and will climb up the stick.

The lame wolf who has experienced a life-and-death test is invincible.
