Chapter 157 Tufuzi
Zhang Xiang looked at her and said:
"Can you please stop questioning me? That's because the time hasn't come yet. Do you know what a ghost market is?
The place that opens at night is called a ghost market. This place is a bit out of the way, but it has its advantages, right? "
Lin Panpan didn't want to discourage him. Who would come to this place after having nothing to do after eating?
She lowered her head and continued to pick things. There were quite a lot of ancient coins here, but many of them were worthless.
Lin Panpan picked out some good-looking ones. Some of them were not very expensive, but she liked them very much. She felt itchy when she saw these things.
She picked out two large bags. Zhang Xiang said with a headache, "Tell me, what's the point of picking up so much junk?"
"Oh! Since no one comes, I'll just consider it a good deed." These ancient coins and silver dollars were bought at very cheap prices, and the most expensive one was only 10 yuan each.
Among those sold for 10 yuan each, there were a few that were very good, and Lin Panpan bought all of them.
"Okay, okay, then go ahead and I'll carry your bag for you."
When Lin Panpan walked to the corner, she saw a person hiding in the corner. At first she didn't notice it, but later she saw that there was indeed an old man sitting on the ground.
The old man exuded a strange smell, his fingers were rough and his nails were yellow, and there was dirt under his nails.
Lin Panpan squatted down and looked at it. The old man grinned, revealing a mouthful of broken teeth yellowed by time. He said, "Is there anything you like? If so, I'll sell it to you at a low price."
Lin Panpan nodded slightly, staring intently at the ancient coins in the bucket. Her slender fingers gently flipped them, and the coins collided with each other, making crisp tinkling sounds.
She asked softly, "How much do you want for these things?"
The old man's cloudy eyes rolled around, and he looked at her and said, "Can I sell these copper coins to you for two hundred yuan?"
Lin Panpan raised her eyes, nodded slightly, and asked again: "Do you have anything else? If you have anything else, I will take it too."
The old man had only some ancient coins placed in front of him. Upon hearing this, he nodded hurriedly, pointing his dry finger at the snakeskin bag beside him, and said anxiously:
“Yes, yes, yes, they are all in my snakeskin bag.
If you like something, I can give you a discount."
Lin Panpan's gaze inadvertently slid to the old man's chest, where a talisman was hanging.
She had seen this talisman in the live broadcast room before. It was the tomb-robbing talisman.
The tomb-grabbing talisman is about three inches long and is made from pangolin claws. It is carefully polished and has a hard texture.
This thing is a good thing, and these ancient coins have a fishy smell. The old man slowly unzipped the snakeskin bag and carefully took out a few silver ingots from it.
The silver ingot glowed with a soft silver light under the dim light, and some vague words and patterns were engraved on the ingot body, highlighting its ancient identity.
Then he took out a pair of vases, which were painted with exquisite floral and bird patterns. The brushstrokes were delicate but still very bright.
The old man said softly: "These are all real. If you want them, they are worth 2000 yuan. If you want them, I will sell them to you."
Zhang Xiang's eyes widened when he heard this and he shouted, "What? You're asking for 2000 yuan for this shabby little thing! This is pure robbery!"
The old man ignored Zhang Xiang and just looked at Lin Panpan and said, "These things of mine are worth this price."
Lin Panpan carefully examined the objects, nodded after a moment and said:
“Okay, 2000 yuan, I’ll buy it directly.
But I don't have that much cash on hand, so can I just give you gold bars?"
A hint of surprise flashed across the old man's eyes, but he quickly suppressed it. He leaned forward slightly and said in a low voice:
"Okay, girl, if this gold bar is of good quality, it would be great.
But this place is crowded with people and eyes, so we have to act quietly."
Zhang Xiang took them aside and warned them, "Panpan, don't believe their lies. This little thing is only worth 2000 yuan. Don't be fooled."
The old man said with a red face and thick neck:
"Master Zhang, this is your territory, what good will it do me to lie to you?
We worked so hard to get this, 2000 yuan isn't a lot of money, not to mention I lost two brothers, I..."
As the old man spoke, he choked up. Tomb robbing is a high-risk business that is closely linked to death and the shadow of the unknown.
In the ancient tomb, there are hidden weapons everywhere. If the hidden crossbows are triggered, the sharp arrows will penetrate the human body in an instant like a rainstorm.
You may also encounter quicksand traps hidden in the dark. Once triggered, a large amount of quicksand will surge down, burying you mercilessly and suffocating you to death.
The ancient tomb has been closed all year round, the air is polluted and filled with poisonous gas. Many people are immediately poisoned after inhaling it, and their eyes become blind, their lungs ulcerate, and they die in pain.
So generally, tomb robbers are in poor health. This tomb robber's voice is not right because he has stayed underground for too long.
There is also the mysterious tomb passage, which is as complex as a maze. Even an experienced and skilled tomb robber may get lost in it, trapped in endless darkness, and die of hunger and despair.
Tomb robbing is against the law and moral ethics. Once discovered, they will face severe punishment from the law. Imprisonment and even the death penalty await them.
Therefore, even if the tomb robbers are skilled, there will be a day when they will be swallowed by darkness and their fate will collapse.
In the pursuit of ill-gotten gains, they are actually putting their lives on the line, trying to challenge endless dangers and taboos with their fragile bodies.
This is not to praise this line of work, but this line of work is not that simple. Lin Panpan quickly said:
"It's okay, I believe you, 2000 is 2000, these gold bars are 50 grams.
According to the current market price, a gold bar of one gram is more than 40 yuan, so here is a little more, and my gold is 999 gold.
The purity is still relatively high, you can take it for testing."
The old man nodded, took the gold bar directly, and took a bite. After seeing the tooth marks, he said with satisfaction:
"Thank you, if I find any more treasures, will you keep them?
I will never lie to you. If I do, I will be killed by Zongzi and I will never be able to leave the ancient tomb."
Lin Panpan nodded and said, "I'll take them all. You can also find some people in the industry. If they are willing to give it to you, I'll take theirs too."
The old man looked at her with surprise and said:
"Really? Then... I'll come back to you later, and my things are guaranteed.
But I can't guarantee that their stuff is genuine, so I'll try to find a reputable one for you. Is that okay with you?"
"to make……"
The old man rubbed his hands happily and walked away. Then he turned around and said, "Girl, will you still be here tomorrow?"
Lin Panpan nodded and said, "I'll still be here tomorrow. If you have anything good, you can come to me again."
