The employer is an old man named Yan, who is in his seventies, with white hair, wearing a neat double-breasted coat, with a straight waist, but his eyes are not good, and he is covered with a layer of fog and is dull.

Sure enough, the eyes are the spirit of essence, the eyes are dull, and the spirit of the whole person is reduced.

The girl who was kicked into the water tank by Mu Dai was the granddaughter of Old Man Yan. She was named Yan Hongsha. She didn't say she went to change her clothes. She stood beside Old Man Yan, twisted the water from her clothes on her own, and her hair was woven into strands and stuck to her face. It was clearly black and white, like a person in the painting.

Old Man Yan first talked to Zheng Mingshan, and he was very polite in his words. Mu Dai thought that the senior brother should have dealt with this person, but he was not that familiar with him.

Old Man Yan spoke to her again, kind and kind: "It's not a tricky thing. We can take a trip and go out for a long distance. We will cover food, clothing, housing and transportation. It takes as short as two or three days, and only five or six days. The price is 20,000 yuan, and we will pay a deposit of 10,000 yuan first. What do you think?"

Mu Day looked at Old Man Yan, but she didn't know what expression to use to welcome the news.

It took only a few days, 20,000!

She was a little fluttering, and it turned out that she was so valuable.

Zheng Mingshan coughed and glanced at her again, which meant: Stay calm, don’t never see the world.

Old Man Yan ordered Yan Hongsha again: "Hongsha, tell Mu Dai what we do."

Yan Hongsha whispered, and first helped Old Man Yan wear an eye mask. It was a silver mouse gray silk satin cover, and the fragrance of Chinese medicine slightly dispersed.

Zheng Mingshan stood up and said, "I won't listen anymore and wait outside."

This is a rule. Just like you can't learn martial arts. When people want to talk about private matters, it is best to take the initiative to avoid it. It will be unfavorable when the owner comes to rush.

Old Man Yan wore an eye mask and bowed to his position, as if thanking him for his knowledge and tact.

***

The first sentence of Yanhongsha is: "We are Caibao, have you heard of it?"

I haven't heard of it, but it always makes me feel uneasy after touching the word "treasure". Muday looked at her: "It's not illegal, right? Isn't it a stolen treasure?"

Yan Hongsha glanced at her, but Old Man Yan chuckled twice.

"My grandfather asked you to see what you said on the table before. If you don't understand, I'll explain it to you. The above mentioned gold, silver, jewelry and jade. These things were very expensive in ancient times, even in modern times."

Kiyo didn't refute it, but in her own heart, she felt that the money was more affordable.

"But gold and silver are the opposite of the way jewelry and jade are produced. Gold and silver are formed in deep soil, and they are inherited from the essence of the sun. Jewelry and jade are protected by the moonlight, not covered by the soil. We have a saying, "Gems are in the well, and the blue sky is revealed, the pearls are in the heavy abyss, and jade is in the steep beach, but they are covered by the clear light and the water color is covered."

Yan Hongsha shook her head and said, I don’t know how many people showed off this passage.

Mu Dai vaguely understood that this means: gems penetrate the blue sky in the well, beads in deep water, and jade in the steep and turbulent river beaches are all covered by bright sky or river water.

Her heart moved: The gems are in the well, and there is a well without water in the yard just now. Yanhongsha also calls herself "Treasure Collection", so they specialize in picking gems?

"This gem may not be as expensive as the top beads and jade, but the finest products are also valuable. Common ones include cat eyes, amber, star-han sand, emeralds, rose gems, boiled sea gold elixir, etc. Ancient people have conducted inductive research on China's treasure-producing land, and there are a total of two treasure-producing lands."

As she said that, she turned to the wall. A very large leather map was hung on it. The map was old and obviously a little old. The lines of the mountains and rivers above were all hand-painted with thick brushes, with vigorous strokes and a vast and majestic feeling coming to her face.

"One is the 'Western Regions'. Today, it is the Xinjiang area. It is not surprising that Xinjiang is full of treasures, such as Hetian jade, big red dates, cantaloupe melons, raisins, and mutton skewers..."

Old Man Yan coughed twice, and Mu Dai suppressed his smile to cooperate with her: "Well, I also like to eat mutton skewers."

"The other part, the book says 'Yunnan Jinchiwei and Lijiang'. Jinchiwei refers to the area from Lancang River to Baoshan, in short, it is Yunnan. So my grandfather and I live in Kunming, and it is convenient to go anywhere in Yunnan. In Xinjiang, I am not used to living there."

Mu Dayi thought about it and found that she didn't know much about gems, but she still understood some common sense: "Gems... should also be mined from the mine deposit. The kind you are talking about is a mine, which is also covered with soil."

The expression on Yan Hongsha's face seemed to be saying: I knew you would ask this.

"The treasure trove industry has been sent by the family for generations. If there are few people and good luck, if you pick a well, you can live for the rest of your life. Is it necessary to mine? What we are mining is the kind of well I mentioned, which is 'going through the blue sky'!"

Muyo's temperament is so good that he can eat softness and hardness. The flame-red sand is fierce, and she is not polite: "Those wells are open, unless they are in an uninhabited area and there are people, they will be picked up by passers-by long ago."

Yan Hongsha laughed three times, paused one after another, and laughed three times before laughing the word "ha": "I knew you didn't know anything, pearls still need to be hidden in clams, and jade still grows in the purplish. Do you think the gems are under the well, and the golden light is shining in your eyes? All you pick up are stones, and you have to leave them to the carving workers to know what treasure is inside."

Mu Daye didn't say anything anymore. She really didn't understand. She really thought she had entered the treasure of the forty thieves, and her eyes were covered with green beads as soon as she got off the well.

It turned out that when I saw that the bottom of the well was filled with ordinary stones.

Yan Hongsha corrected her mistakes again: "Ordinary people will die if they rashly go on. The book records that 'The treasure qi is like fog, and it is lingering in the well. People eat their energy for a long time and will die'."

There is also poisonous gas? Muday immediately felt that 20,000 yuan was not much, so he immediately stated: "I won't go down the well."

Yan Hongsha snorted: "Do you think you can go down the well if you want to go down the well? You have to practice going down the well."

Old Man Yan seemed to know what Kiyo was thinking: "This treasure qi is actually not poisonous, but since ancient times, good things have been guarded by evil things, just like in legend, pearls are guarded by dragons, and there are also fatal treasure qi in the well where the treasure comes out. Therefore, when going down the well, there must be someone on the well. The treasure picker has a pocket and a bell on his body. Once he gets down the well, he quickly grabs the gems and puts it into a bag. When he feels that the treasure qi is almost unbearable, he will ring the bell immediately. When the person above hears the ringtone, he will immediately pull the person up."

Mu Dai stared at the bell on Yanhongsha's waist.

Finally, I knew what such a big bell was for.

She digested what she heard, so what these grandparents and grandsons usually do is to go to remote places to find such a mine?

No wonder I need someone to accompany me to protect me. Since the Yan family has been collecting treasures for generations, I think there is a unique way to deal with treasure aura. It is indeed a good idea to make money. No wonder, the old and the young can live in such a mansion in the city, and they also hired people to serve me.

If she doesn't want her to go down the well, this job will become cute and adorable. If you have money, you can open your eyes. Why not do it?

Mu Dai nodded: "Okay, I'm fine. Where is the well we are going to get down this time? Yunnan? Or... Xinjiang?"

Yan Hongsha didn't speak for a long time, and when he spoke again, he was hesitant: "Our trip is not going down the well..."

Don’t go down the well? Don’t go down the well and tell her how to pick treasures after a long time? I like to talk so much?

Yan Hongsha said, "Come with me, come to my house and show you something."

Without waiting for Kiyo to agree, she turned around and walked to the back hall. Kiyo thought about it and decided to follow him. As soon as she stood up, the door rang and a woman dressed in as an hourly worker brought a bowl of soup in.

"Old sir, I've had soup."

What soup? It smells weird. After a glance, there are chrysanthemums floating on the soup noodles.

The woman seemed to see Kiyo's doubts and smiled and introduced to her: "Chicken liver and chrysanthemum soup, one meal of chicken liver, three cents of chrysanthemum. Do you want a bowl of it?"

Can chicken liver be burned with chrysanthemums?

Kiyo felt that he had very little knowledge.

***

Yan Hongsha showed Mu Dai a video.

It's night, but the moonlight is clear and the pixels of the machine are also good. Unlike some machines, there are noise everywhere.

It seems to be by the water or by the sea, with calm waves and spreading silk folds on the sea surface. The moon reflected on the water, like endless phosphorescent dots, and like huge uneven mirrors.

Yan Hongsha pointed to the center of the screen: "Here, look."

What is that? It's a dark ball.

The photographer seemed to have expected what the viewer thought, and the next second, the camera would be closer.

It's really not small, it must be the size of a small round tabletop, but what is it?

It seemed to be to help her solve her doubts, the thing suddenly opened a line.

Kiyo's eyes suddenly widened.

"This, this is..."

"That's right, clam, have you ever seen such a big clam?"

Mu Dai held his breath and said nothing. On the screen, the clam slowly moved his body.

There is a voiceover on the screen, which is an excited voice of a man: "I have never seen such a big clam. It is now basking in the moon. Legend has it that on the night of full moon, the old clam will be particularly happy and will continue to rotate as the moon rises and sinks to obtain the moonlight..."

He also said: "I have checked before that the largest pearl in the world, also known as the 'Laozi', is the size of a head, and now it is estimated to be more than 20 million US dollars. If such a large clam is produced, the value is unimaginable... I want to get close to take a look."

The video stops here.

Yan Hongsha explained to her: "It was my uncle who spoke, Yan Jiuxiao."

"Uncle is the treasure-picking person from our Yan family, but our family has not opened for many years because my grandfather's eyes are no longer good."

Even if you know that the treasure is in the well, you cannot look for it like a blind man. You have to refine your eyes from a young age and practice a pair of poisonous tricks that can distinguish the treasure qi. It is not easy to identify the indifferent treasure qi among countless clear and turbid qi between the vast world?

Therefore, the key to collecting treasures is not whether they can pick them, but whether they can distinguish them.

However, there are fair things in the world. If you get it, you will lose it. Old Man Yan’s eyes cannot see strong light, and even sunlight is rare. He stays in the house all year round, and when he reaches age, he becomes more and more blind and it is difficult to see anything.

The irony is that you can’t see anything else, and you can still see the treasure.

Old Man Yan was calm and pleasing to the eyes. He guided his granddaughter Yan Hongsha to learn to go down the well, but Yan Jiuxiao couldn't stay. Although he earned a lot every day, they were very generous and consumed amazingly. In order to avoid losing money, Yan Jiuxiao said he wanted to go out and "try his luck."

In private, he said to Yan Hongsha: "We collect treasures, but there is no treasure in our eyes. This treasure is not limited to gems. There are beads on the south and jade on the west. If you have the chance, you might as well add it."

After all, the road in Xinjiang is far away, and Yan Jiuxiaotou Station goes to Hepu, Guangxi.

Ten days ago, he called Yanhongsha and told Yanhongsha that in Hepu, he heard about a village called Wuzhu, which was a good place, because he heard that the village has been following the method of collecting beads left by his ancestors for generations, and they are all picked natural beads and are never artificially bred.

Most treasure collectors think that artificial carving and grinding, after all, there are too many traces of axe and chiseling, and they cannot be compared with natural cultivation. It seems that the ones that are made are of course beautiful, but when compared with people with natural beauty, there is less natural halo.

What made him even more happy was that he heard that Wuzhu Village was abandoned.

Yan Hongsha still remembers his excited tone when he spoke: "I heard that it has been abandoned for several years and the old clams are not disturbed by others, so they can be quietly spitting beads. People have drowned in the sea, and neighboring villagers are afraid of coming here. They are so happy to be quiet. Maybe I can pick up a treasure in this piece of water."

A few days later, he sent Yan Hongsha the video he saw above.

Guangxi, Hepu, Wuzhu Village, really... I am destined to be...

Kiyo asked her: "What about that?"

"No more, then, my uncle has no news."

Mu Dai's back felt a little cold.

Yan Hongsha didn't say anything, but it was actually not without news. Some, one night, she slept in a daze and was dreaming, and she received a call from Yan Jiuxiao.

It's hard to tell whether it was a dream or a phone call, or maybe it was a dream.

In the dream, Yan Jiuxiao crawled on the bottom of the sea, his hands sinking deep into the sea sand, and the surging flow from the bottom of the sea pushed his trembling body. His face was pale and his eyes were covered with bloodshot, and he suddenly faced her with all his eyes.

He called her with a crying voice: "Hongsha, I don't want to die here..."

Yan Hongsha woke up and found that he was really answering the phone. On the other end of the phone, the sound of the waves was so loud.
