A pound of inferior rice can be exchanged for a good bear skin, an ordinary short knife, and it is not sold for less than one kilogram of gold, and it is priceless. A five-dollar bone porcelain tea cup can be exchanged for ten out-of-print Elizabethan gold coins. Such a good thing is unimaginable for Ye Feiyu, but it happened now.

All of this starts with the funny thing he was forced to sell a strange mechanical watch by several gangsters a few days ago.

×××

"Damn it, it's so unlucky. I also said that after a few days of hard work, I found such a bad thing!"

Several young men covered in mud walked down cursingly from the forests of Wangniu Mountain in the east of Xijiang City.

One of them, with yellow hair dyed and cross-eyed young men said flatteringly: "Brother Scorpion, I think the ancient tomb is still a little old. Maybe this thing is really an antique."

"Antique? I'm antique and you're so tall!"

The bald young man walking in the middle with a gloomy look and a big scorpion tattooed on his shoulders was holding a black thing and smashing his yellow-haired head: "Have you seen an antique like a watch in that dynasty? He also has an electronic screen!"

The more Scorpion thought about it, the more popular he became. He was about to throw away the rotten thing, but suddenly he saw a dark shadow walking towards the path at the foot of the mountain. With the moonlight, he could see a thin young man, about twenty years old.

His eyes turned and he smiled: "Is there anyone here so late? Come on, go find some pocket money with my boss, and you can't work hard for a few days in vain!"

He hesitated for a moment: "Brother Scorpion, this is not good! I'm still walking here so late. I'm afraid it's from Wujiazhuang. We just released bail. If we snatch him, I'll be able to be known by Officer Wu..."

Another young man with a shaved head and a scar on his face nodded and said, "Silly Dog is right, Brother Scorpion, I heard that Officer Wu is from Wujiazhuang."

Brother Scorpion hummed and said, "As soon as you see, you know that you are uneducated gangsters. If you say it, you will lose my face. Who said I want to steal him? I am doing business with him."

He proudly threw away the strange watch in his hand.

Ye Feiyu is not from Xijiang city, but a rural child from the townships below. She is a senior student at Xijiang University. She is now on winter vacation.

Xijiang University is a very ordinary second batch of undergraduate schools, but the tuition fee is not cheap. For rural families whose family is digging food in the fields, the tuition fee is more than 7,000 yuan, plus accommodation fees, food fees, etc., and it costs at least 13,400 yuan a year. It is not easy to support children to go to college.

Ye Feiyu's grades were not good at studying, otherwise he would not have entered a local second-rate university. He was admitted because of his local advantages. However, he was still quite saving in normal times and had nothing to do during the winter vacation, so he stayed in Xijiang City and found two holiday jobs, one of which was to give lessons to first- and second-year students in Wujiazhuang.

Wujiazhuang is relatively remote, located ten kilometers outside Xijiang City, and it is only about five kilometers away from Xijiang University, without buses.

There are motorcycles at the entrance of the village, which specializes in sending people from the village to Xijiang University or Xijiang city. However, it costs more than 20 yuan in just a few kilometers. Ye Feiyu naturally reluctantly. He gave the second-year high school student two hours of tutoring, and only earned fifty yuan.

Therefore, Ye Feiyu usually walks through Wangniu Mountain and walks back to Xijiang University. He passes through Wangniu Mountain and walks from Wangniu Mountain Road, and takes many less distances.

Seeing five or six weirdly dressed, they were walking down from the mountains and forests, almost ten o'clock in the evening. Ye Feiyu, a weak college student, didn't want to meet each other, so he speeded up.

Who knew that the other party speeded down the mountain and stopped him in front of him. One of the bald young men sneered and said, "I'm so fucking my hair so fast, I'm afraid I'll rob you of your money?"

Ye Feiyu cursed in her heart, but she definitely didn't dare to really scold her, so she had to say carefully: "No. It's getting late now, so I have to rush back to school. The school closed at 11 o'clock."

Brother Scorpion smiled and said, "It's good not to be there. Come on, I have good things to take you away!"

He shook the watch he took out from the ancient tomb: "Tell you, this is a good thing. The antique watch from the Qing Dynasty, I just dug up from the ancient tomb on the mountain. I'll give you a little cheaper, and take it for a thousand yuan!"

He was a little self-aware and did not say that this was an antique from the Ming Dynasty or earlier. After he finished junior high school, he seemed to remember that during the Qing Dynasty, foreigners brought clocks and other antiques to China, so he casually said that this was a thing from the Qing Dynasty.

Ye Feiyu said helplessly, "Brothers, I, a poor student, can I afford any antiques? I have to rush back to school, so I won't talk to you."

As he said that, he wanted to go sideways and pass through several bad young men blocking the road.

Brother Scorpion's face changed: "If you don't sell it, you will waste my time. **Isn't you pretending to be a fool?"

As he said that, he winked at the two gangsters next to him. The two burly guys with green dragon tattoos on their arms took two steps forward, clamped Ye Feiyu's two small arms one left and one right, and flipped them into Ye Feiyu's trousers without saying anything.

Ye Feiyu is quite tall, 1.78 meters tall, but unfortunately she is thin, only 120 kilograms. A few guys in the dormitory often tell him not to go out when the wind blows. His little arms and legs are pinched by two gangsters of 140 kilograms, and they can't break free.

He also knew that even if he resisted, it would be useless. He would only be beaten. In the end, the money could not be saved. He had to stop and struggle, gritted his teeth and looked at the bald gangster hatefully.

"It's only over three hundred yuan, this poor guy!"

One of the bad young men took out Ye Feiyu's wallet, took out three Grandpa Mao and more than a dozen yuan of change from the shrunken imitation leather wallet, and spitted phlegm on the ground and cursed.

However, he threw his empty wallet on the ground and did not take it away, otherwise Ye Feiyu would have reissue the student ID card and ID card inside.

Brother Scorpion saw that Ye Feiyu was not like a rich man. He wore white-washed clothes and knew that he couldn't beat it: "Three hundred is better than nothing, and he happened to have fun at Haoledi."

Several people turned around and left, but they didn't walk a few meters away. Brother Bald Scorpion woke up and threw the almost black watch back without looking back: "Hold it, remember, I'm not robbing you of your money!"

Ye Feiyu was gritting her teeth and bent over to pick up the empty wallet on the ground. When he heard the other party say this, he subconsciously raised his head and with a bang, the black watch just hit his forehead.

A stinging pain on my forehead, it felt a little wet when I touched, so I couldn't see clearly, so I probably had my skin broken.

He picked up his wallet and the so-called antique watch of the Qing Dynasty. He bought the heavy one, which should be an all-steel watch. Fortunately, the Scorpion Brother threw it over at random. If he used a little force, he would be able to smash his head.

Ye Feiyu is a college student, and she knows more than these gangsters who have not finished studying in junior high school. It is good to have watches in the Qing Dynasty, but it is a clock and a copper pocket watch. How could it be such an all-steel watch?

He looked at it in the moonlight. The surface was very strange, with a simple shape, a full steel shell, three handpieces on the dial. The circle of characters was originally strange. They were not Arabic numerals or Roman numerals. They were originally the place to display the calendar, but they were replaced with a black screen about two centimeters long and five millimeters wide, which looked like an electronic watch.

Ye Feiyu didn't know if there was such a watch that combines mechanical and electronics, and it didn't look valuable, otherwise those bad boys wouldn't use it to blackmail him.

The other party said that the watch was discovered in an ancient tomb. Seeing the soil stains left on it, it didn't look like a lie, and there was no need for the other party to do so. Ye Feiyu thought it should be a burial object. It must have been buried underground for a while. The watch body was not rusted, and it seemed that the quality was good.

It was a bit unlucky to bring the dead stuff on him. Ye Feiyu originally planned to throw it away, but after thinking about it, it was also something he had earned for more than 300 yuan. It would be a pity to take it back and see if it could be used.

The more than 300 yuan was his two-week tutoring fee. It was originally a total of 500 yuan, but I spent some time eating and drinking water. Now it’s better, and I’ll save you all the money.

Ye Feiyu didn't plan to report the case either.

He is already past the age of believing that he has difficulties to find a policeman. If he has small cases of more than 300 yuan, the police will not file a case for you at all. Just be careful in the future.

Even if the police really help him find those gangsters, what can they do? It’s impossible to take them to the prison guard for 300 yuan. They are still asking for trouble. These gangsters are not good enough, and they are definitely first-rate in holding revenge.

He touched his tingling forehead again, his hands were covered with blood. Sure enough, he tucked the skin and stuffed the watch and wallet into his pockets, speeded up and went back to school, and found some hydrogen peroxide to disinfect it in the school clinic. Who knows if this watch has bacteria and viruses, and it will be troublesome if it is infected.

Ye Feiyu did not notice that the blood stuck in his hand flowed to the back of the watch and was actually absorbed into the watch strangely, like a water droplet meeting a sponge, leaving no trace.

After walking for about ten minutes, just after crossing the Wangniu Mountain slope, Ye Feiyu suddenly heard a stiff voice in his ear: "The blood sample analysis has been completed, the degree of fit is 21.53%, exceeding the minimum activation limit of 20%, whether to activate the first generation of ordinary E-class PE23713 space-time instrument."

This sound was stiff and emotional, and it sounded relatively neutral, and it couldn't tell whether it was a man or a woman. It suddenly sounded in my ears, which immediately scared Ye Feiyu.

He quickly turned his head and looked around. It was very strange. There was no one on the road. I don’t know where the sound came from.

He couldn't help but have his hair standing up. Looking at Niushan, it used to be a mass grave. I often heard that something supernatural happened. Isn't there really a ghost, right?

As a young man who has received more than ten years of modern education, Ye Feiyu doesn't believe in these things, but the situation is really strange now. There is a voice in his ear just now, so why can't people see it?
