Chapter 207 Charlie Cao
Han Sanbian digged deeper and deeper, and he kept digging more than one person, but he had not yet reached the bottom of the stone figurine! He couldn't help but feel surprised and shocked! He thought to himself: "What's going on? Is the stone figurine not at all?" Thinking of this, he sat on the ground, but when he stopped, he heard the rustling sound of the pit, like the sound of soil collapse!
Han Sanbian held the candle and shone it at the bottom of the pit. A whirlpool suddenly appeared at the bottom of the pit. The whirlpool became bigger and bigger, and he was about to be dragged into it. Han Sanbian was shocked and quickly climbed to the top of the pit!
After he climbed up, he heard the sound of mud and sand at the bottom of the pit falling deafeningly. He was surprised, so he leaned into the pit again. It was not a big deal that he almost scared him! It turned out that an extremely huge black hole had collapsed at the bottom of the pit at this time!
The black hole was dark and it was chilling upwards! He lay on the edge of the pit and tried hard to see what was in the hole, but what disappointed him was that the candle in his hand could not illuminate the huge black hole at all! In the range he saw, there was a void, as if it was the chaos that Taoism said! However, in this chaos and void, there seemed to be a slight sound, starting like footsteps, then like the noise of people, and finally like thunder. The huge thunder trembled on the earth, as if to tear the ground apart! Han Sanbian saw terrifiedly that in the thunder, the rolling yellow sand suddenly surged out of the black hole at the bottom of the pit, quickly filling the pit, overflowing again, and instantly a huge sand dune bulged. The dunes became bigger and bigger, and in a blink of an eye it rolled towards him!
The yellow sand filled the sky, buried his legs. Han Sanbian was shocked and quickly pulled back. When he saw that the momentum was not good, he simply carried Jia Laodao, raised his legs, and ran away! After running for a while, he stopped when he heard the sound behind him. Just as he was about to put Jia Laodao down on his shoulder, he heard someone calling him behind him!
Han Sanbian was surprised and turned around and shone with a candle. He saw a blood-red monster jumping out of the darkness. The monster had a blurry face and was covered in blood. He reached out and grabbed him!
Han Sanbian had never seen such a monster, and his calves immediately turned! He said "Oh my God", and didn't know where the strength came from. He jumped three feet away, and in the blink of an eye, he lost the monster! He carried a person on his shoulder and ran so far away, and was already so tired that he was dizzy and panting. Han Sanbian saw another stone figurine in front of him, so he gritted his teeth and carried Jia Laodao to the stone figurine and put him on the ground! Seeing that Jia Laodao was not awake at this time, he couldn't help but feel anxious. He had to put the candle on the base of the stone figurine, turn around and explore Jia Laodao's breathing. Seeing that Jia Laodao's long and even breathing, he felt a little relieved!
His eyes turned, but he saw a piece of white thing buried in the soil. Han Sanbian was surprised and said, "What's this thing?" He stretched out his feet and kicked the thing out of the soil, and found that what was buried in the soil turned out to be a piece of white bone!
Han Sanbian was very surprised, so he copied the bones into his hand. After a closer look, it turned out to be a human arm bone! There was a golden ring on the fingers of the arm bones! Han Sanbian felt bad luck and quickly threw the bones away, rubbing his hand on his pants. He thought to himself: "Where does this dead bone come from?" Suddenly he remembered that the old hunter had once been
I told them that many people who went into the mountain to hunt for treasures were not able to come back alive. The owner of the arm bone who could not get the right one was the treasure hunter! This treasure was not found, but he also paid his life! Thinking of this, Han Sanbian couldn't help but think of his own experience, and couldn't help but sigh, and he felt a little more pity for the owner of the arm bone!
Han Sanbian then pinched the candle and searched carefully on the ground. Sure enough, he found a highly rotten dead bone buried in the mud! He carefully cleaned the soil on the dead bone, and saw that the dead bone was wearing a suit and a pair of leather shoes on his feet! Because he had been buried in the ground for too long, the clothes on the corpse had already decayed, and the patent leather on the shoes had been peeled off! Han Sanbian was wearing foreign clothes and couldn't help but feel surprised and said to himself: "Is it a foreigner who died here?"
He saw one hand of the corpse stretching under the clothes, as if he was holding something! So he carefully lifted up the corner of his clothes and found that he was indeed holding something in his hand hidden under the clothes!
Han Sanbian leaned closer and saw that what he was holding was actually a small notebook! He carefully pulled the notebook out of the dry bone's hand, blew the dust on it with his mouth, and put it under the candle to look, and found that the notebook was densely filled with words!
Han Sanbian carefully opened the notebook and saw a line of fountain pen letters written in very beautiful fonts: "Give it to my favorite person!" below. There is also a line of foreign signatures. Han Sanbian couldn't understand the foreign signature, but he looked at his handwriting and guessed that this book should be a gift given to the deceased by a woman!
Han Sanbian then turned down and found that the first half of the book was written in foreign languages, and only the last few pages were written in Chinese characters! Han Sanbian then carefully read the last few pages from beginning to end. Through these words, he finally understood the identity of this corpse and the story that happened to him!
It turned out that the owner of the corpse was named Charlie Cao. His surname was Charlie. Although he had a foreign name, he was a real Chinese with yellow skin and dark eyes! Charlie Bencao didn't call this name, just because he went to study in the UK when he was very young and stayed abroad for a long time. He realized that his name was too rustic, so he slapped his head and cut his braids and changed his name!
Charles Cao studied naturalism in the UK. After years of hard study, he finally achieved success. He then worked at the British Museum, responsible for the collection and research of Chinese culture! A few years ago, he was sent by the museum to travel through India and returned to China by boat!
The purpose of his trip was to use the large dollar he had to buy Chinese antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and treasures to satisfy the curiosity of the British thousands of miles away for the ancient and mysterious China! Charlie Cao first lived in Shanghai, but he didn't gain much. Then he went west to Shaanxi and Gansu without much gain! He had gained nothing in his year in China, and he couldn't help but feel anxious. Once he chatted with an antique dealer, and the antique dealer advised him, "The world's antiques gather in Beijing, where are the good things? Why don't you go north to try it?"
Although Charles Cho was studying naturalism, he was not very proficient in the acquisition of antiques, so he wasted a lot of time! At this time, the antique dealer suddenly realized it and set off for Beijing immediately!
At that time, mainland China was
During the warlords' melee, the roads in various places were quite uneasy, so Charlesco hired a large amount of bodyguards and escorted him north along the way! Along the way, he traveled day and night, sleeping in the open air. Although the bandits did not meet, they ran into the defeated soldiers!
The defeated soldiers are much more powerful than the bandits. They have guns and two in groups. When they come, they are gone without a trace. The bandits also pay attention to the morality of coming first and then coming, but these soldiers and robbed them when they meet everyone and burned them when they see them. For a moment, the Central Plains area has thousands of miles of land, nine out of ten rooms are empty, and it is deserted!
Charlie Cao relied on his bodyguards to protect him and was a British employee, so he didn't take these defeated soldiers seriously. He didn't expect that the defeated soldiers were all rude. What kind of diplomatic immunity do he know? Before he could react, he was stripped naked by the soldiers and gangsters! He tied them up with a rope and threw them into the pigpen!
Charlie Cao was covered in pig manure, and finally broke free from the ropes, and crawled and escaped his life. He stole the farmers' clothes on the way, so he arrived in Beijing without any danger! After arriving in Beijing, he made friends with many wealthy businessmen, all kinds of people, and bought a lot of rare things, gradually becoming famous in the antique circle in Beijing!
On this day, Mr. Gu San, a famous antique merchant in the capital, invited him to Donglaishun for a drink. When he came, he saw a thin old man sitting beside Mr. Gu San. When he inquired with others, no one knew the details of the old man! Seeing that the old man's eyes were bright and majestic, Charlie Cao thought he would not be an idiot! During the meal, everyone was drinking and chatting, and kept talking nonsense until night. Seeing that everyone was not serious, Charlie Cao couldn't help but feel careless. Just as he was about to get up to say goodbye, he saw Mr. Gu standing up and bowed and said loudly: "Everyone, let's be here tonight! Brother Charlie and I have important matters to discuss!"
Everyone had already eaten and drank. After hearing what the master said, they all stood up and bowed and said, "San Master Gu, since I have something to do, I will say goodbye first!" In a moment, everyone left cleanly!
After hearing what Gu San Master said, Charlie Cao couldn't help but mutter, and said to himself: "What is the matter with me? Why don't you even know me?" But since the master said that, he naturally had to stay and sit in his seat and wait!
As soon as Master Gu waved his hand, a friend brought tea. While drinking the tea, Charlie Cao asked Master Gu and said, "Mr. Third Master, I don't know if you have anything to discuss with me?". Master Gu laughed and pointed to the thin old man beside him and said, "Actually, there is nothing big. I just want to introduce a friend to you Brother Charlie!"
Charlie Cao quickly put down the teacup, bowed to the thin black old man, and said, "Oh, Charlie Cao doesn't know what this friend calls him?" The thin black old man also stood up, bowed to Charlie Cao and said, "I am, Zhou Monday, I hope Brother Charlie will take care of him!"
