Chapter 168: Stealing Treasures
Full text, no ads,
This Buddhist niche has a simple shape, and the decorations on it are very beautiful. There is a tiny dragon head on the top, which is entangled in wooden flower vines. The head is decorated with a double-brimmed helmet-style hat, which looks like a Buddhist hat and an official hat. ( Full text e-book free download)
In addition, there is a dragon and a phoenix on both sides of the Buddhist niche, with a dragon on top and a phoenix on the bottom. The look is lifelike. The bottom part is a unicorn, raising its head and roaring to the sky, echoing the dragon head on the top. It looks impressive. Due to its shape, Shen Gang knew that this Buddhist niche might be more valuable than the Buddha statue enshrined in it.
Seeing that Shen Gang looked a little strange, Fang You focused his attention on the Buddhist niche on the wall. After a while, he also shifted his gaze from the Buddha statue inside to the Buddhist niche. He only saw that the shape of this Buddhist niche was very Strangely, he was also a little vague about wooden things. He subconsciously activated his escape technique and focused his gaze on the Buddhist altar. Suddenly, a spiritual energy that was no less than that of the Longquan kiln rushed into his body, making Fang You feel a little confused. Surprised.
Why does this old man Xu have so many treasures in his home? Since his ancestor was a high-ranking official, why did he get to such an extent? Coupled with what he saw in the room before, Fang You couldn't help but shake his head and smile. This old house is very strange. .
"Uncle Xu, how do you sell this Buddha statue?" Afraid of arousing old man Xu's suspicion, Shen Gang started with the Buddha statue. He couldn't do without the Buddha statue inside and just wanted the Buddhist niche outside. It was obvious that there was no three hundred taels of silver in this place. Well, in Shen Gang's eyes, the most important thing is the Buddhist niche enshrining the Buddha statue outside.
Hearing Shen Gang's words, Old Man Xu looked at the Buddha statue on the wall with mixed eyes, and then sighed helplessly, "This Buddha statue has been hanging on this wall since I was a child. It has hardly been touched, although it is not a family heirloom. , but it has blessed us for generations..."
The old man Xu kept talking about the origin of the Buddha statue. Shen Gang smiled faintly. The old man Xu didn't look stupid. He was taking the opportunity to raise the price, "Uncle Xu, I happen to be short of a Buddha statue at home. You guys paid homage to me like this?" In a few years, if you take this Buddha statue home and it can be imbued with some spiritual energy, I will offer you 30,000 yuan and take the Buddha statue with its outer shell. How about it?"
"So much." Shen Gang's bid shocked old man Xu. It seemed that in his eyes, this was just a broken Buddha statue. "But I have worshiped this Buddha statue all my life, and I really can't bear to part with it."
"Fifty thousand yuan, forget it if you don't sell it." Shen Gang was about to leave, but old man Xu gritted his teeth and said: "Eighty thousand yuan, make up a lucky number, if you want to buy it, take it now."
Shen Gang's expression was a little dull. Although he really wanted the Buddhist niche outside, he was not the kind of person who took advantage of it. He didn't look at the Buddhist niche carefully, so who knew its value. "Uncle Xu, your price is too high, so I won't sell it." "All text, no ads." With that said, Shen Gang walked towards the living room. Boss Wu who was standing by him naturally followed closely, while Fang You smiled and shook his head, also following.
A few people stepped out of the back room and saw old man Xu chasing after them, "No, I sold it to you. I sold it for my wife's illness. Come on, come in quickly and I'll wrap it up for you."
Fang You still held the small teacup in his hand. The moment he left the room, he put the teacup over his eyes. He could clearly see the situation in the back room. He shook his head and smiled, took the teacup down, and at the same time inadvertently He cast his eyes on the bronze mirror, then smiled and shook his head. There was no aura in the bronze mirror. He smiled helplessly and followed Shen Gang to the house.
I saw old man Xu casually taking a sheet, taking off the Buddha statue and the niche on the wall, wrapping it tightly in the sheet, and then handed it to Shen Gang.
"Uncle Xu, please collect the check." Shen Gang looked excited, took out the check book and asked, it is the last word to pay with one hand and deliver the goods with the other.
Old man Xu looked at Shen Gang's checkbook and nodded, "I know this thing. Can I get the money by going to the bank?"
Shen Gang looked happy. If the old man only wanted cash, he would be in trouble. If he was delayed for a while, he might not sell it. As he spoke, Shen Gang directly wrote a check for 50,000 yuan and handed it to Old Man Xu with one hand and another with the other hand. When he was about to take the package, Fang You smiled and put his hand directly on Shen Gang's hand. "Mr. Shen, I think this Buddha statue is just an ordinary thing. How can it be worth so much?" As he said, You winked at Shen Gang.
Although Shen Gang was extremely conceited, Fang You still had a somewhat good impression of him. He couldn't watch others deceive him. He smiled. It wasn't until just now that he really discovered that it was just as he expected. This is simply a big scam.
When Old Man Xu followed them out, the middle-aged woman who was lying on the bed sat up from the bed very quickly, and quickly pulled out an identical Buddhist niche from under the bed. The Buddha statue enshrined in it was also the same. After getting out, she walked to the wall in two steps, took down the Buddhist niche on the wall, and then replaced it directly. She put the removed Buddhist niche directly under the bed and continued to lie on the bed, even if she got out of bed to change the Buddhist niche. At that time, the painful moans continued to come out of her mouth.
If Mr. Chu hadn't told him this story, and if he had the ability to see through walls, Fang You might not have been able to see such a clever scam. Who would care about a sick middle-aged woman in such a short period of time? The Buddhist niche can be replaced within a certain period of time.
Shen Gang paused, looked at the expression on Fang You's face, and felt a little hesitant. He believed in his own vision, but why did Fang You stop him? Could it be that Fang You also fell in love with this Buddhist altar and wanted to I want to run him away and then buy the Buddhist altar alone.
Suddenly, he looked at Fang You with a little suspicion. In the antique business, everyone has it. Shen Gang had to be cautious. This Buddhist niche was indeed an old object. He bought it for fifty thousand yuan, plus The Buddha statue inside is definitely a huge profit. It can be said that it is a big mistake.
Seeing the doubt on Shen Gang's face, Fang You smiled and shook his head, then took his hand back. Shen Gang was not his friend. It was interesting enough to remind him. If he insisted on buying it, he would never do it. Stop him.
Fang You's actions and the smile on his face made Shen Gang hesitate. The arrogance in his heart came back to him. For an ordinary person to reject something he liked so much, it made his Resistance inevitably arose in my heart.
"It's okay if you don't want to buy it. In order to save me from feeling sorry for my ancestors, it would be better to keep this Buddha statue in my home." Old man Xu glanced at Fang You casually, then shook his head and said, looking at his words, he seemed to be relaxed. tone.
Shen Gang quickly stopped Old Xu, "No, Uncle Xu, I'll buy it, I'll buy it, but can you help me change the bag? It's not very elegant to hold a sheet, right?" Although he didn't believe Fang You's words, Shen Gang I am still cautious in my heart.
"Huh, I only have sheets, you can buy them or not, forget it." Old man Xu snorted coldly and piled the sheets directly on the bed, as if he didn't intend to sell them.
Seeing such a situation, Shen Gang couldn't help but feel a little suspicious in his heart. The old man Xu didn't want to let go of the fifty thousand yuan just now, but now he wanted to take a look, but he didn't want to sell it. Shen Gang was also hesitant whether he wanted to or not. Buy this thing.
"Old Xu, if Mr. Shen doesn't buy it, I'll buy it. I'll give it to you for 50,000 yuan." Seeing the hesitation on Shen Gang's face, Boss Wu was secretly happy. He also felt that the value of this Buddhist niche was quite good. If you buy it for 10,000 yuan, you will definitely make a profit.
Seeing that Boss Wu came to grab his business before he made a decision, Shen Gang's hesitant face became extremely cold. When he noticed Shen Gang's gaze, Boss Wu suddenly woke up and asked quickly: "Shen Gang Young Master, I’d better leave this thing to you.”
"Whether you want to buy it or not, don't push it back and forth like this. If you push me again, I won't sell it. If you don't sell it, there are still many people selling it." Old man Xu sat on the bed angrily, as if he was very dissatisfied with them. have opinions.
Seeing that Fang You was still calm and composed on the surface, and didn't seem to be anxious about Boss Wu and his bid, this made Shen Gang even more confused. After thinking for a long time, he shook his head, "Uncle Xu, I just remembered that, There is not enough money in my account. If you can wait for me for a day, I will buy it tomorrow."
"Humph, I can afford to wait for you for a day, but my wife can't afford to wait. Since you don't want it, I won't sell it to you. You can go." Old man Xu looked very angry.
Seeing Shen Gang finally speaking, Boss Wu's face showed joy, "No, Lao Xu, I want it, I want it, I want to give you a check now."
"I won't sell it for 50,000 yuan. For 80,000 yuan, do you want it?" Old man Xu sat on the edge of the bed and turned his face away, not giving Boss Wu a good look at all.
Boss Wu thought for a while, then gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, eighty thousand, eighty thousand, here it is for you." After saying that, he wrote a check for eighty thousand yuan and gave it directly to Mr. Xu, and then took the package with a look of great surprise. appearance.
"Uncle Xu, where is your bathroom? I need to use it." Suddenly, Fang You said with a frown, covering his stomach.
Old man Xu frowned. After getting the money, he wanted to drive these people out immediately, but doing so made people even more suspicious. He pointed outside, "There is a small mud house in the yard outside. It’s the toilet.”
"Mr. Shen, please wait for me for a while. I'll be back soon." After saying that, Fang You clutched his stomach and rushed directly to the toilet.
Shen Gang had something strange on his face. He didn't know what kind of trick Fang You was playing. Now that Fang You had gone to the toilet, they naturally had to wait for him. They followed Old Man Xu to the living room and sat on a chair drinking tea, while Boss Wu was watching closely. He hugged the quilt containing the Buddhist altar tightly, as if he was afraid that if he let go, someone would snatch it away, with an extremely excited and proud look on his face.
Fang You came to the yard, looked around, and came to the toilet. There was no one in the yard. Shen Gang's followers had gone to play somewhere long ago. They closed the door of the small house tightly. After closing it, he activated his escape technique and escaped directly underground, arriving at the back room where the middle-aged woman was.
Since this old man Xu is a big liar, and Fang You doesn't have the time to spare, if he continues to be polite to him, these treasures in the hands of old man Xu will be just a tool for making money, and it will simply waste the crystallization of five thousand years of Chinese culture.
