Chapter 26 [The truth about the ghost cave]
"How many shops did you two buy?"
The fat man and Hu Bayi looked at each other and saw shock in each other's eyes.
Look!
Hu Bayi knew that with Yang An's character he would never forget them, so this was a big surprise.
Look at what people say - I bought a few storefronts, hiss, it's an understatement.
It’s like buying a pair of pants and a pair of shoes.
Actually, it's almost the same. Yang An found that this shop is very cheap.
Hu Bayi is more curious about cooperation, how to cooperate?
"I don't know how to appraise treasures and need help." Yang An took a few sips of tea and said calmly: "There are not many people here that I trust, and even fewer are talented. You two are a perfect fit. ”
What Yang An said was true.
The treasure appraisal business is in deep water. If you rush in without any skills, you will be a lamb to be slaughtered.
Look for outsiders, Yang An is not at ease.
It is better to find Hu Bayi. At least his character is guaranteed and he is one of our own.
Hu Bayi was such a smart person, and he immediately understood that Yang An and the others were taking care of themselves and Fatty.
There was a little more gratitude in his eyes.
Otherwise, there are so many people with the ability to appraise treasures, why not find them?
Yang An: They don’t even have the sixteen-word Feng Shui secret technique.
Opening a store is just a small amount of money for Yang An, but for ordinary people in this era, it is an astronomical sum.
This is the limitation of the times.
The fat man asked excitedly: "You said that, I take it seriously. Mr. Yang, are you just teasing us two?"
"Hey, look at what you said, how could I lie to you?" You two, what do you have to say to me?"
Yang An joked: "They are both men. If Lao Hu is a beautiful girl, I can consider it."
" Hey! Look what Mr. Yang said."
Hearing this, Hu Bayi straightened his back, eager to prove that he was a pure man.
But he was interrupted by Fatty, who patted Hu Bayi on the shoulder seriously: "That can't be done. If Old Hu is a woman, nothing will happen to you without Mr. Yang, and I, Fatty Wang, will have to strike first."
“Hahaha!”
Yang An and Shirley Yang Yile laughed out loud.
"Hey Fatty! Why can't you become a woman?" Hu Bayi was anxious and pulled Fatty to reason.
“I already look like this as a man, how can I still look like a woman?” What Fatty Wang said was reasonable, and Hu Bayi couldn’t refute it.
Don't tell me, you won't feel bored when you are with a wonderful person like Fatty. Just chatting with Fatty is full of wise words.
Yang An and Fatty joked with each other before continuing.
“The store doesn’t require any money from you, just consider it as a technical investment.”
“Mainly responsible for appraising treasures, collecting antiques and managing the store. We will split the profits earned 30-70, how about it? . ”
Hu Bayi was moved when he heard this.
Who can not be moved?
You don’t need to pay to have a disciple do it. This pie falling from the sky finally hit him.
Moreover, it is easier to make money by just opening a shop and working as a middleman to make money from foreigners than by fighting on the ground.
Hu Bayi no longer hesitated and handed over his hand.
“Thank you for your trust, Mr. Yang, if you don’t dislike me for coming from a wild place, I will definitely try my best to take care of the store in the future.”
"Then the matter is settled."
Yang An nodded, and the matter was settled: "I will come to see you tomorrow, and let's go to the store to have a look."
Hu Yang An is still assured of Bayi's ability to identify treasures. He doesn't expect to earn much, as long as he doesn't lose money.
The fat man laughed, picked up the wine glass and drank first as a sign of respect.
"From now on, we can no longer call Mr. Yang, we have to call him Shopkeeper Yang."
"Hey, it's Mr. Yang, it sounds easy to me." Yang An waved his hands and became serious, because what he was going to say next was a bit troublesome.
The curse related to the ghost cave!
"There is one more thing. I have to tell you the truth. Fatty Lao Hu, you must be mentally prepared first."
Lao Hu and Fatty suppressed their joy and nodded in unison.
"You said."
At night, the streets and alleys are empty.
Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang said goodbye to the Yang siblings and returned to the small courtyard.
It was originally a reunion after a long absence.
Everyone was very happy, not to mention that Hu Bayi and Fatty got bonuses after converting them according to the exchange rate.
That's a lot of money.
They have never seen so much money in their lives.
As a result, well, in the blink of an eye, yesterday the two of them were worrying about money for food, but today they have become a household worth 100,000 yuan.
(The exchange rate at that time was 1:2, and the black market might be even higher, but everything was based on 1:2.)
Hu Bayi suddenly felt that there were differences in the world.
How much money did he get for almost dying on the battlefield? Hundreds of dollars.
This money can buy a company of people.
But people just downplayed it to him, as if it was not worth mentioning.
Not to mention that he and Fatty will be promoted to shopkeepers soon.
But then the bad news Yang An told Shirley Yang was really life-threatening bad news.
As soon as I walked in the door.
The fat man said with a dark face: "Old Hu, I just want to say that the alternating beating of his left eyelid and right eyelid recently is exactly the same as the tune of the singing boss Lin."
" The result is good, the left eyelid jumps to bring disaster, the right eyelid jumps to make money is so damn right.”
“Let’s go to the ancient city of Jingjue and get a curse.” This incident was so troublesome that we were just fascinated by the US dollars at the beginning, so we might as well go and win a few big buckets.”
Hu Bayi also looked melancholy, and the original joy in his heart completely disappeared, leaving only the money. Deeply worried.
Light a cigarette and take a long puff.
Crimson cigarette butts flickered in the darkness.
“Come on, fat man, who the fuck was it that started from the gap between the rich and the poor, robbed the rich and gave to the poor, until the overthrow of the American emperor, made many arguments, and told me that I must earn this money.”
"Then how could I have imagined that it would turn out like this? This money should be regarded as the money that we both sacrificed our lives for."
The fat man cried out, threw his backpack on the bed, turned around and sat down like a frustrated daughter-in-law.
Hu Bayi was still calm: "Are you talking louder? Are you afraid that others can't hear you?"
Seeing the fat man sitting there without talking, Hu Bayi also sighed and subconsciously touched his right shoulder, where There is an extra red mark.
There are light red marks, and I feel a little itchy for no reason
“Okay, fat man, you can’t blame the siblings for this. As soon as they found the information, they came over and told us. , Besides, it’s not certain whether our red seal is a curse.”
That’s right, Yang An told Hu Bayi and Fatty exactly about the curse.
The endless ghost cave under the ancient city.
In fact, it is the imaginary space where the ancient god Snake God turned into a entity after his death.
As long as ordinary people go there, they will be cursed.
This curse can be seen as a kind of radiation. Anyone who is close to the ghost cave will develop red spots similar to the shape of eyeballs after a period of time.
For people who are exposed to radiation and develop erythema, the iron contained in the blood will gradually disappear after the age of forty.
When the iron element in the blood disappears, the blood will become thick and turn yellow, and eventually the person will die miserably.
This process is not an instant death.
It was a painful and slow process that lasted ten years.
And this curse is like a hereditary disease and will be passed on to future generations.
