Chapter 81: Broken Finger(2/2)
Many antiques have unknown origins. What should you do? The antique dealers thought of a way and set up a ghost market. People in it pretended to be ghosts to do transactions with others. But this kind of thing is just pretending. Who is the person you are trading with?
No one can tell whether a person is a ghost.
There is a description about the ghost market in Song Lao's "Qingyun Yishu Lu".
A tomb robber sneaked into the ghost market and wanted to sell a batch of antiques using his identity as a ghost. However, the price he sold was too high and the quality was not good, so no one cared about it. Just when the tomb robber was disappointed.
Finally, someone came to ask for the price. When the tomb robber saw that someone had taken the bait, he hurriedly boasted about these treasures. The other party did not bargain, just packed them all, and asked if he could deliver them to his house.
The tomb robber was alert and asked for the address. After making sure it was not far from here, he followed. It took him a while to find the big house, and he quickly put the antiques in and put them away.
The buyer readily gave him the money, treated him to a delicious meal, and even arranged for his concubine to sleep with him until early the next morning.
The tomb robber opened his eyelids and saw that he was sleeping in a coffin, and next to him lay a corpse that had turned into white bones.
I almost scared the tomb robber to death. Fortunately, the tomb robber was experienced and brave enough to pry open the coffin, dig a hole and crawl out. When I got out of the grave, I looked back and saw that my face turned green on the spot. There was no trace on the left side.
Isn't the far grave the same grave he just robbed?
When I looked at the money in my hand, it was all money.
The tomb robber fell seriously ill immediately after returning home, and soon his body began to rot, starting from the root of his life until he was so rotten that he was no longer human.
Xu Tong thought for a moment, his eyes lit up, and he knew who he should go to. He ignored Lao Fang and the frightened woman and turned around and left the room.
Not long after Xu Tong left, Lao Fang shook the woman a few times. Seeing that she didn't wake up, he glanced at the pile of money left by Xu Tong on the ground. His eyes lit up and he put the money into his trouser pocket.
After waiting for a while, the woman woke up and saw that Xu Tong had disappeared. She quickly asked Lao Fang if he had said anything.
Lao Fang felt guilty and quickly shook his head to ensure that he didn't say anything. It was the other party who ran away on his own after hearing the noise outside.
"Hey, just leave. This boy Shou Cheng has been very kind to our family. Even if we give up this old bone, we can't sell him."
The woman took a deep breath and said, while Old Fang's eyes drifted up to the side, thinking of the money in his arms. He couldn't help but feel a little guilty, and he repeatedly swore and shouted: "Yes, yes... Sister, you are right, I will risk everything."
