Volume 2 Chapter 41 Coral Tree

As soon as Mian Youbing said that, I realized that Ah Ning’s expression was very wooden, even sluggish, very different from her usual lively appearance. Now she was on the ground, being held down by Mian Youbing, and she wasn’t struggling, she wasn’t talking, and she wasn’t even looking at us, as if this had nothing to do with her.

The fat guy I thought it was strange and said, “It’s a bit weird. She didn’t react to my scolding, and in normal times, if I teased her a bit, she would have kicked me over.”

I knew he was a black hand, so I asked him, “Did you hit her hard just now? You can see that she can’t even speak. I think it’s more than likely that you hit her too hard and stunned her.”

The fat guy was furious and said, “Don’t bullshit me. Could I treat a lady like that? Just now I just pressed her foot, but gently, not even leaving a mark. If you don’t believe me, ask the little brother.”

Muyoubing told us to stop arguing, saying, ‘Don’t worry, she’s not in any danger, she’s just not very clear-headed. She may have been shocked by something.’ He then waved his hand in front of her and snapped his fingers, but Ning didn’t react at all.

The fat guy scratched his head, unable to understand, saying, ‘Could it be that this woman saw something and was scared silly?’

I said I said, “This woman is ruthless and has good skills. You saw how she treated me. How could someone like that be scared silly? Don’t be fooled by her. Maybe she’s just pretending.”

The fat guy also became suspicious and said, “You’re right. The most poisonous woman’s heart is the most poisonous. We’d better be careful. Otherwise, let’s each slap her a few times and see how she reacts. This woman is very strong-willed. If we slap her a few times, no matter what kind of chaste and virtuous woman she is, with her iron head and iron arms, she will also—

I don’t know where he was going with this, so I scolded him, “Stop it. You’ve seen too many revolutionary movies and want to learn from the Kuomintang spies? Look at her like this. Can you do it?”

The fat guy raised his big hand and symbolically slapped Ning’s little face twice. He found it really hard to do it and said in frustration, “It’s a pity that your fat master has never hit a woman. What the hell do you think we should do?”

I didn’t have much time with her, and it was impossible to tell whether she was pretending or not by her movements. I said, “It’s impossible to judge this thing for a while. I think we should tie her up and take her out first. Then we’ll call the police and let them handle this matter.”

The fat man angry: “Are you really stupid or just pretending to be stupid? We are all three robbers. Do you know what robbers are? If you hand her over to the police, you’ll be hit on the head by a pig!”

I I really wanted to be confused. After the fat guy said that, I really wanted to slap myself. I thought to myself, “How come I haven’t adjusted my mentality yet? I’m acting like the little boss of an antique stall again. I hurriedly said to the fat guy, ‘The last few times I went down the hole, I was forced to do it. I always thought of myself as a good citizen, and I was used to going to the police when I had a problem. I said it as soon as my mouth opened. You can just think of me as farting. I’ll say it again.’

The fat guy He waved his hand and said, “Come on, I don’t think you have any good ideas. Let’s just look at this young man. If we count on you, the day lily will be over.”

I was so angry at what he said that I had no choice but to look at the oil bottle. He was shining a flashlight in her eyes. When we turned around, he said, “There’s no need to argue. Her pupils are sluggish and her reaction is very slow. It’s much more serious than being ‘scared silly.’ It can’t be faked.”

I looked at He seemed very confident, so I had no reason to doubt him. I asked him, “Can you tell what caused it?”

Muyoubing shook his head and said, “I only know a little about this. I heard it when I was doing my own examination. To make a further judgment, I can’t do anything. I have to go to a professional hospital.”

I sighed I sighed and thought of the woman’s former radiant appearance, and couldn’t help but sigh and say, “That’s fine. I don’t think I can figure out what’s wrong for a while, so let’s not think about it here. Let’s take her out first.”

They all agreed with this proposal, and the fat man said to the silent oil bottle, “That’s it, don’t dawdle. This place is so evil. Let’s look around. If there’s nothing, let’s get out of here quickly.”

I had had already forgotten where I was, but when he started talking, I felt a chill and wanted to leave immediately. However, since they both had their own purposes, I couldn’t say anything, so I just nodded my head.

The fat guy immediately turned around and shone his flashlight into the depths of the cave. I followed his flashlight and saw that the cave wasn’t very long. I could already see the bottom of the cave from a few dozen steps away, but the flashlight wasn’t powerful enough to see anything but an outline.

My I don’t have as good eyesight as the fat guy, and I don’t know what’s inside. Now I’m just hoping that he can’t see anything and will quickly give up this idea. I can’t stand this place for even a minute.

The fat guy looked carefully, then suddenly frowned, as if he had seen something. I looked in the direction he was looking, but I couldn’t see anything. I just heard him ask us softly, “Guys, do you see a tree at the very back?”

I said, ” Ah” I said, ‘How could there be a tree in an ancient tomb? There’s no sunlight here, and no one waters it. If there really was a tree, it would have rotted long ago.’

The fat guy He looked at it for a long time, probably not sure, so he insisted on showing it to me. I had no choice but to go along with him, but I really couldn’t see clearly. My eyes were wide open, and I could only vaguely see something like a branch. The outline was quite familiar, but I couldn’t remember what it was. I said to him, “I can’t see clearly, but it definitely isn’t a tree.”

The fat man took another look and stubbornly said, “I think it looks like a tree. You can see that it’s still shining with gold light. If you don’t believe me, let’s go take a look.”

I looked He was not interested in the wine, and I was furious. “Don’t think I don’t know what you’re up to. Even if it is a golden tree, can you carry it away?”

The fat man saw that I had seen through him, but he didn’t think so. He said, “Whether or not it can be carried away, we have to see to know. Maybe there are some small pieces on the side. If we hadn’t come in, it would be fine, but now that we’re in, we’ve seen something good, so we have to take a look! Besides We came in here, not too deep, if something happens, it will happen early, there is nothing to be afraid of, right?”

I was annoyed, but there was nothing I could do. I knew the logic of the fat guy very well. Sightseeing, sightseeing, after observing, take the light. This guy is simply a reincarnation of a demon, whoever encounters him will be unlucky.

I just wanted to sarcastically say something to him, but I saw that the Mian Youping made a gesture of individual noise and said softly, ‘Follow me all, don’t fall behind.’ Saying without looking back, and walked straight into the darkness.

The fat man looked delighted, picked up Ning and followed him. I was only surprised, but Mian Youbing was walking very quickly, and I didn’t have time to think about it. I had to limp after him.

Mian You Bottle walked quickly in front of us. The hole was the same width from the inside to the outside. There was not much distance from our position to the bottom of the hole. We soon came to the so-called tree. This was already the innermost part of the entire hole. When Mung You a huge white coral, more than a person tall, divided into twelve branches, in a divergent shape, the shape is indeed very much like a tree, the whole coral is very well carved, but the texture is very ordinary, not very precious.

The coral was planted in a huge porcelain basin and was pressed down by pebbles. On its branches, there were many small golden bells hanging. The golden light that the fat man saw should have been reflected by these bells. But these bells were definitely not made of gold, because patina had already appeared in the gaps between them. The material inside was estimated to be brass. The exterior had been gilded to maintain its current luster.

The fat man was disappointed that he didn’t see the golden tree, but he wasn’t giving up. He took pictures of other places and asked me, “Xiao Wu, do you think this coral is valuable?”

I have some research on this, and thinking about his behavior just now, I wanted to give him a hard time and said, “I’m not trying to discourage you, but this quality is already pretty good at the market price of 16 yuan per catty.”

The fat man listened with skepticism, and asked the bottle again. The bottle nodded, and he was depressed all of a sudden, cursing, “Fuck, I thought I was going to get rich this time, but it’s all for nothing.”

I laughed and said, “Don’t be discouraged, Fatso. I’ll tell you, although the coral is worthless, look at the bells on it. These are good things.”

Fatso He didn’t believe me and said, “I can see you’re smiling wickedly. Don’t make things up. I’ve sold a lot of these broken bells, and they’re only worth a thousand or so. Where do you think they’re worth anything?”

I said, “With your business acumen, of course you can’t see it. To be honest with you, I can’t estimate the specific value, but it’s definitely worth more than gold of the same volume. Look The patterns on these bells are older than the Ming Dynasty. At that time, they were considered antiques. Do you understand what I mean?

The fat man was stunned by my words and didn’t know if I was telling the truth. I was happy to see him so confused and didn’t want to spoil the fun. In fact I can’t see what these bells are made of. Bells are a rare find among antiques. Most of the antiques that are sold are porcelain and pottery. Metal objects will rust and require special preservation methods. These techniques are only used by large museums. In the homes of ordinary people, even if they are rich, they can’t afford to be tossed around like this. Moreover, bells are relatively complicated among metal objects. They have many small parts and are very precious when they are well preserved.

The fat man After thinking about it for a while, he still didn’t believe me, so he wanted to pick one down to take a look. Muxiangyu grabbed him and said, “Don’t move.”

The fat man had already stepped on the basin full of pebbles with one foot, but he was pulled down by him. He felt strange and asked him what was going on. Muxiangyu ignored him and asked me instead, “Do you remember this kind of bell? Where did you see it?”
