Chapter 75 Golden Fragrant Jade
I was too busy looking for a cave entrance with airflow through it to pay attention to any smells, when I saw Fatty standing at the entrance of the cave sniffing his nose vigorously, I asked, “What’s the smell? The smell in this cave could be the shit that the Black Mistletoe took, don’t sniff hard, be careful of poisoning.”
Fatty waved to me and Dajinya: “No, you two come over and smell it, it’s fucking fragrant, I smell how it’s like fucking chocolate.”
“Chocolate?” When Dajinya and I heard this word, our stomachs immediately “gurgled”, how could there be chocolate in this cave, I was puzzled, but chocolate was too tempting for the three of us who were starving, even Dajinya, who only had half a life left, heard “chocolate” and “chocolate”. “I didn’t want to go there, but my legs didn’t stop commanding me, and I took a few steps towards the cave entrance.
I inhaled my nose and smelled, there is no chocolate, I said to the fat man: “Are you crazy hungry? Is it the charred smell of burning rotten wood from the temple over there?”
Fatty said, “How come? You closer, the closer to the cave the stronger this fragrance, well …… fragrant and sweet, fuck, here is not a cream chocolate tree, go let’s go in to see if there is something we can eat.”
Dajinya also smelled, and nodded repeatedly, “That’s right, that’s right, it’s really chocolate, Master Hu, you quickly smell, it’s from this hole emitted.”
I heard Dajinya also said so, feel odd, then walked two steps closer, in front of the hole with the nose, a strong milk mixed with the sweet smell of cocoa, straight to the head, smelled this wonderful flavor, the body’s wounds seem to be not much pain, the spirit doubled, all the muscles and bones of the body want to crispy, limbs and bones feel comfortable, can not help but exclaimed: “his grandmother’s, really motherfucker! The good smell, this flavor …… is simply like …… like the kiss of a fucking angel.”
Three people can no longer hold back, holding up the candle into the dark cave, the hole is extremely narrow, high only two meters, three or four meters wide, the cave inside the rock strange shape, are like the old tree coiled root general, curled bump.
Fatty like a big fat hunting dog, in the front while walking with the nose sniffing, looking for the source of that wonderful aroma, suddenly with a hand pointing to a rock in the cave: “It is from this pass out.” After saying that, I wiped the saliva flowing out from the corner of my mouth, and I could not wait to pounce on it and bite a few bites.
I put the candle on the edge of the rock, and the big gold teeth fat man together to watch, this big stone as a section of the trunk, the appearance of brown, like wrapped layer of skin pulp, there are a few pieces of the exposed part, are rendered semi-transparent, the stone is covered with slow broken colorful pattern, condensed greasy and translucent, was the candlelight a light, the texture in the stone seems to be in the hidden flow, the rich aroma is issued from this piece of stone.
Fatty couldn’t help but reach out and touch it, put his finger on his nose and sniffed, said to me and big gold teeth: “Old Hu Lao Jin, touch with your finger, even your finger becomes chocolate, can this thing be eaten?”
I have never seen this kind of marvelous stone, shaking my head in disbelief: “I was in the Kunlun Mountains dug a pit for several years, all kinds of strange rocks have not seen a lot, I look at this like a piece of fossilized tree trunks, should not be able to eat.”
Due to the excessive shock, and a long time did not speak of the big gold teeth, this time suddenly said excitedly: “Master Hu, we can really hair this ah, you see this is not that wenxiang jade?”
Fatty had never heard of this word and asked Dajinya, “What? That’s not the one that sings about Liu’s speech being too biased?”
Dajinya said to the fat man: “Fat master, you are talking about that is singing Yu opera Chang Xiangyu, I say this stone, is Wen Xiangyu, also known as Jin Xiangyu, this is a treasure ah.”
I asked Dajinya: “Jin Xiangyu, I heard people say that there are eyes that can’t recognize Jin Xiangyu, and it’s hard to find Jin Xiangyu for a thousand dollars, so it’s this kind of stone? I used to say that it was a very beautiful golden lady, but then again, the unique fragrance of this stone is by no means inferior to any big girl.”
I don’t know is this smell jade marvelous smell effect, or see the money eye, originally shriveled up big gold teeth, this time change the spirit of glowing, to me and fat man said: “this thing is the royal secret treasure, also had to pour the bucket, in the tomb poured out, the earliest in the time of the Qin and Han Dynasties, the folk in the ancient times and not much, so very few people know, this thing is wonderful use, the more dry the The drier the environment, the stronger its aroma, there was a poem in praise of it: the world has not heard of flowers to understand the language, but now see the jade aroma; Heavenly Palace of creation is incredible, wonderful to the infinite who scrutinized. I have received a piece before, that is, someone else poured out from the bucket, but it is so small that it is not comparable …… to this piece.”
Fatty heard that this is a treasure, busy asked the big gold teeth: “Old gold so big a piece, can be worth how much money?”
Big gold teeth said: “smell jade the bigger the original stone the more valuable, this skin is also extremely valuable a kind of medicinal herbs, I estimate, so big a piece, and look at this texture, absolutely counted as the top quality, at least can also change a small imported car it.”
I said to Dajinya: “Master Jin, this place is very close to the temple where the square bronze tripod is placed, this piece of smelling jade, is it not a piece of Mingqi?”
Dajinya thought, said to me: “not like, I see this is a natural stone, if not a small part of the outer skin peeled off, we can not smell, you see this narrow hole is not the slightest traces of artificial excavation, and the rest of the stones on the ground, coiled dao dao, like the roots of the same, I think that these are naturally fossilized. ”
I said: “it seems that this is the owner of the thing, in that case, we will carry it back, did not expect to intentionally carry flowers do not open, unintentional willows into the line ah, bad luck ran into an empty tomb, half of the artifacts have not been poured out, but fortunately, grandpa grandfather open eyes, the end does not teach us to work in vain, this time a lot of shock, but also is not to be regarded as a disadvantage.”
Fatty has been waiting for my words, bent down to hold this piece of smelling jade, big gold teeth hastily stopped, said to fat man: “don’t so hold, have to find something to wrap it up, if we have cotton cloth is good.”
I swept around, Fatty and I were naked, our clothes were lit and illuminated, Dajinya’s pants were half ripped off by me, and out of the three, only he was still wearing the top that was already worn through at the back.
We had only a few candles left, and we were all hungry, so we couldn’t stay much longer, otherwise we would have wanted to look around again for any other protoliths, or any other fossils.
Seeing that the candles in my hands have already burned down half, so I put the candles in the paper lamp, let the big gold teeth to take off the tattered coat, will be able to wrap the smell of jade, carried by the fat man, from this narrow cave back out.
Back to the outside of the big cave, only to see that the tribute to the human face of the bronze tripod temple has been completely burned, the ruins of the charcoal, but also flickering some sporadic dark fire.
In the darkness can no longer see the form of the surroundings, I said to fat man and big gold teeth: “just now there is no other black quail out again, but can not be concluded that they are dead, perhaps their kind is just scared away by the fire, now the fire is extinguished, probably will come out, we can not delay, as soon as possible to find a way out.”
Fatty said: “only can that big tripod, bronze should not burn bad, let’s go back to eat and drink enough, bring guys to come back to move it back, pour so many back to the bucket, a piece of artifacts also can not bring back, this face must not look good.”
Dajinya said to the fat man: “Fat master, that thing I see you still dead heart it, the human face of the tripod for fear of not less than a thousand pounds, we three bare hands, how to move, and then we move back, but also can not be sold ah, this kind of thing is a national treasure is not a mortal sold, only the state can collect, simply let it continue to be in place, we got such a big piece of wenxiang jade! We’ve got such a big piece of smelling jade, it’s already a fortune, it’s better not to cause more trouble.”
I and the fat man know that the big gold tooth is a treacherous businessman, but he is a curio line in the old oil, what antiques can be bought and sold, the big gold tooth has a fine account in mind, the tripod this kind of thing off the head, the money is more than fast hot potato, life to take the money, no blessing to enjoy, earn more money, in the end, that’s also a single loss of the old money business, absolutely not cost-effective, so the fat man, even though the heart is not willing to do, reluctant to do, but also have to So even though Fatty was reluctant, he had to give up.
The three of us rely on the memory of just now, along the stone wall of the cave, groping to the next hole, I let the fat man and the big gold teeth to uphold the breath, from the paper lamps to take out a small half of the candle, aimed at the mouth of the cave to test the airflow.
This small half of the candle just lifted in the hole, the candle flame, it is immediately to the opposite direction of the cave, oblique crooked down, I put the candle back into the paper lamp illuminated, with my hand to explore the hole, do not feel too obvious airflow, but the candle flame tilted, proving that this hole is not a dead end, even if it is not connected to the outside, the back is also a very large space, may be those” black quail”. Black quail” out of the hunting channel, as long as the air flow, we will have the opportunity to drill out of these caves.
So I held up the paper lamp in the front to lead the way, fat man and big gold teeth two people carry “smell jade”, from this cave drilled in, may be that “smell jade” fragrance, the human spirit does have a miraculous effect, we are still very hungry, but feel energetic, clear-headed, three people have got the “smell jade” fragrance, the human spirit does have a miraculous effect. The head is clear, three people got the treasure, are not overjoyed, only to drill out of the cave, they want to celebrate a great deal.
This cave is extremely winding, high and low, undulating, narrow place only allows one person to pass, go later, the cave is winding steep, all forty to fifty degree angle of the slope.
I walked in the cave, suddenly felt a cool wind, blowing in the face, the body rose a layer of goose bumps, I greeted the fat man big gold teeth two people to speed up the pace, as if almost to the exit, and forward line is not far, and really bright, Huran is a connection to the outside of the earth cave, I first put his head out to see the left and right no one, the three of them will be naked and climbed out of the cave, just outside the cave, behind me the fat man on the Suddenly said to me, “Old Hu, how did …… you grow a human face on your back?”
