"Hey, Hetian Jade!"
Chu Heng, who was still a little angry because he was woken up, suddenly lost all his anger when he saw the mutton-fat white jade. He quickly sat up and took it from Wan Xiaotian's hand. He passed the jade pendant and looked at it.
The jade pendant is as big as a child's hand, white and delicate, bright and warm, and carved with Kui dragon patterns.
"Good stuff! Look at the Kui dragon pattern on this jade pendant, it should have come from the palace."
He played with it admiringly, with a look of obsession in his eyes.
Wan Xiaotian gave a thumbs up with a smile and said: "You are really discerning. Master Yan also said that it is an object in the palace, and it may even have been worn by some prince."
"It's almost the same." Chu Heng nodded, rubbed the jade pendant that seemed to be soaked in grease with his fingers, and then put his hand into his trouser pocket: "How much?"
"No, just take it." Wan Xiaotian smiled and waved his hand, saying proudly: "I got this thing in exchange for a popsicle."
"In exchange for a popsicle? "Chu Heng looked at him curiously and asked, "What's going on?"
"Hey, this is quite interesting."
Wan Xiaotian bared his teeth and smiled, the old man crossed his legs, took out a cigarette and gave it to him, lit another one for himself, and then said with excitement: "I went to see a buddy of mine this morning, and half I wanted to buy a popsicle on the way and saw a few children playing nearby. One of the children was holding this thing in his hand. It looked like Hetian jade, so I spent 10 cents to buy a cream popsicle to coax him over. Later, I went to see Mr. Yan to confirm that it was real."
“Did you get it from a child?” Chu Heng frowned after hearing this. He frowned and asked: "Then did you ask him where this thing came from? If we got it from home, it would be unethical. We have to give him some money and go back quickly."
"Hey, you are worrying too much about this. I asked you clearly in advance." You know what his nature is. When Wan Xiaotian heard this, he quickly said: "This jade pendant was dug out when he was digging holes with others in the woods. It looked good, so he played with it, so he didn't suffer any loss."
"Woods? Which woods?" Chu Heng's eyes lit up.
Looking at the clear color of the jade pendant with the Kui dragon pattern in his hand, it was obvious that it had not been buried for a long time. It was probably hidden somewhere recently by someone.
Therefore, he wanted to go back and see if there was anything else in the woods.
"It's the small patch of poplar forest outside Deshengmen, where Li Xiaopao's grandson had a fight with someone last time." Wan Xiaotian looked at his expression and immediately guessed what he was thinking, and said with a smile : "What? Do you still want to look for it? I advise you You'd better save it, I've been to that place, and there's nothing there."
"You can tell a lot with just a few glances? Come on, go take a look." Heng hurriedly put on his shoes and got off the ground, pulling him involuntarily to leave.
"Godfather!"
Huniu happened to come in with a bird cage at this time. In the cage, a myna with a bunch of dull fur on its head was jumping and flapping its wings.
"Godfather, change!
The greedy little guy quickly ran up to him, raising his fair and pink face, blinking his dark eyes full of hope.
" Take it and eat it. ”
Chu Heng directly stuffed her with a handful of candies and dragged Wan Xiaotian out of the house. When he walked out of the moon gate, he thought about it and took two more dogs with him. Picking up two shovels, he hurried out of the yard and drove towards Deshengmen
Banchang Hutong is not far from Deshengmen, less than ten minutes. The car came out of the city, then followed the main road through an urban-rural fringe area, then turned into a branch road and drove for a while. Arriving outside a lush poplar forest
"It's right here, just walk more than 200 meters further."
After getting out of the car, Wan Xiaotian carried two shovels and led Chu Heng, who was leading the two dogs, into the woods. , and soon came to a big tree that was as thick as two people hugging each other.
Wan Xiaotian pointed to a nearly fifty centimeter-deep soil pit under the tree and said: "This is the pit. It wasn't that big at first. I dug deeper and found no hair except for the roots of the tree."< br>
“Come on!”
Chu Heng immediately led the dogs forward and, with the idea of giving it a try, let them smell the smell in the pit, and then gave the jade pendant to them. They sniffed.
"Whoops!"
After the black and white dogs sniffed the pit and the jade pendant a few times respectively, he waved his hand and let the dogs go.
“Can this be done?”
Wan Xiaotian looked at the two dogs running around in the forest with some suspicion.
"Let's try it if it works. If it doesn't work, we'll just walk the dog." Chu Heng actually didn't hold out much hope. He shrugged and greeted Wan Xiaotian: "Come on, let's go for a walk. ”
He put his hands behind his back and lowered his head, carefully observing the unusual places on the ground. Wan Xiaotian also followed suit, lowering his head and staring at his feet, but he had no idea what Chu Heng was looking at, and his eyes were a little blank.
This went on for a while.
Not finding anything, they suddenly heard a series of barking dogs.
“Woof woof woof!”
"Huh?"
Hearing the sound, Chu Heng went over and saw Xiao Hei digging something under a big tree.
“Let’s go!”
He hurriedly walked over, and when he arrived, Xiao Hei had already dug out a small cloth bag from under the tree.
“I really found something!”
Wan Xiaotian suddenly exclaimed.
Chu Heng was also inexplicably surprised. He quickly stepped forward to pick up the cloth bag and opened it. There was an emerald green jade ring wrapped inside.
"Haha, what a dog!"
He put the jade ring finger into his pocket with a smile on his face, rubbed the dog's head vigorously, and encouraged him.
Xiao Hei suddenly became energetic, turned around and ran to other places to continue searching.
After almost twenty minutes like this, Xiao Hei found four more objects one after another, two bracelets, one hosta, and one bead string.
They are all old objects made of good materials.
On the other hand, Xiaobai's crotch was pulled. He couldn't find anything for a long time, and he didn't know whether it was because he didn't have the talent or something.
Soon, the two dogs searched in the woods for half an hour, but they found nothing.
Seeing this, Chu Heng thought there was nothing left, so he called the two dogs back, got out of the woods, and drove away.
……
It’s past seven o’clock in the evening, and the temperature is still a bit muggy.
Under the hazy night, Chu Heng, who had a small gathering with Wan Xiaotian, Du San and others, drove back to Banchang Alley.
After parking the car and entering the hospital, he went to the bathroom and took a shower. Then he didn’t go to the main room to disturb Ni Yinghong and the others who were watching TV. He turned around and went back to the bedroom, lying on the bed with the fan on. He looked at Xianshu absentmindedly.
At around nine o'clock, the TV program ended.
Ni Yinghong walked into the house with a basin of foot-washing water, and placed her smile on Chu Heng's footsteps: "Come, I'll wash your feet."
"Oh."
Chu Heng didn't even raise his head and stuck his smelly feet into the basin out of habit.
Ni Yinghong stretched out her soft, boneless hands and gently rubbed the soles of his feet. She glanced at her husband with her dark and clear eyes, a hint of cunning flashed past, and then she whispered softly: "Chu Heng, do you still remember when we first got together? You said, whatever you have, you can give it to me."
Chu Heng looked at the book intently and said casually: "It's necessary, we are a couple, isn't it yours? ? Even if you want my life, I’ll give it to you!”
"What if it's a jade pendant made of mutton-fat white jade with a dragon pattern?" Xiao Ni raised her head, her eyebrows curved, a sweet smile on her lips, and the two pear dimples on her cheeks were deep and large.
Pan walnuts can no longer satisfy this girl, and now she has begun to ply jade. Chu Heng has several pieces that he likes very much. She usually pulls them away when he plays with them.
"Huh?"
Chu Heng suddenly raised his head and said with a grimace: "I said why did you suddenly wash my feet today? No, who did you listen to? You already know that I just got it?”
