Chapter 448: You have to pay, something is taking over
"Ugh!"
"I don't know who told him that a famous professor from the provincial capital has come to my house."
"That Goudan guy climbed over the wall into my house late at night and insisted on selling the ancient jade to Professor Zhang for a hundred yuan."
"He was still clamoring to use the money from selling jade to marry the widow from the next village..."
My eyebrows raised slightly when I heard this.
It was such a coincidence that Goudan went to see Professor Zhang.
At that time, not only in this remote area, but even in the old city, not many people knew the value of antiques.
Throughout the 1980s and even the 1990s, too many people who did not know the value of antiques sold valuable old items in their homes as scrap.
But this Yang Goudan actually took the ancient jade and wanted to sell it to Professor Zhang for a hundred yuan!
I absolutely don't believe that there is no one behind this.
"I tried to stop Goudan and persuade him to leave, but Professor Zhang took the ancient jade..."
At that time, Professor Zhang was sitting next to an oil lamp holding an ancient jade.
Place the front of the ancient jade at a 15-degree angle facing the oil lamp.
When looking at jade, especially white bas-relief jade, it is difficult to see the details clearly when looking directly from the front.
On the contrary, if you tilt it slightly, the light will illuminate the shadow of the bas-relief, making it clearer and brighter.
When the ancient jade is tilted, the light and shadow make the bas-relief on the jade clearly visible.
The left half of the relief looks like an open bow, and the right half looks like a fish bone.
When Old Yu saw Professor Zhang looking at the ancient jade carefully, he could no longer push Yang Goudan away.
He could only let go of his hand and let Yang Goudan move over and squat beside Professor Zhang.
"Hehe." Yang Goudan smiled innocently, rubbed his hands, and said softly, "This is a good thing, definitely worth a hundred yuan."
"That bastard village chief wants me to turn myself in."
"I just bah!"
"Once I hand over the benefits, they become his. I won't get a penny."
Old Yu's face darkened as he poked Yang Goudan on the back: "Don't disturb Professor Zhang."
"Yes, yes, I won't say anymore."
Yang Goudan closed his mouth and stared at Professor Zhang and others without blinking.
After a moment, Professor Zhang turned around holding the ancient jade.
Facing Yang Goudan, he asked, "Where did this come from?"
“I found it.”
Yang Goudan said excitedly, "I was walking at night and fell into a pit. What a coincidence, I found this thing at the bottom of the pit."
"I originally thought it was just a broken stone and wanted to throw it away."
"I accidentally touched it with my finger and it felt much smoother than ordinary stones."
"And it had a bumpy texture, like something was carved on it, so I hesitated."
"Finally, I put it in my arms and brought it out."
Professor Zhang's eyes lit up when he heard this, but he quickly lowered his eyelids to cover the light in his eyes.
"What kind of pit is it?"
"How long, how wide, how deep, was it dug out by humans, or was it a natural collapse?"
Professor Zhang asked very detailed questions about the shape of the pit.
Yang Goudan frowned and scratched his head as he recalled: "You asked that. It was very dark at the time, and I didn't pay much attention to what the pit looked like."
"Anyway, the pit isn't too big, just a little bigger than my body."
"The depth...it's probably more than two meters taller than me when I stand upright."
“When I climbed up, I felt that the walls of the pit were quite smooth, and there were depressions that looked like footsteps.”
"It must have been dug out by someone."
According to his description, the holes were 99% likely dug by robbers.
Professor Zhang frowned upon hearing this and said in a deep voice, "Do you remember exactly where the pit is?"
"Well... hehe."
Yang Goudan chuckled twice and raised his right hand.
He rubbed his right thumb vigorously on his index and middle fingers: "You have to pay."
Old Yu got angry when he saw Yang Goudan begging for money.
I couldn't help but slap him on the shoulder.
"Money, money, money, that's all I know!"
"Professor Zhang doesn't owe you anything!"
"If you don't want to talk about it, take your broken stone and get out!"
Yang Goudan said with a playful smile: "Nowadays, everyone is promoting the concept of "ten thousand yuan households". The rich are the bosses."
"There might be some good stuff in that pit."
"Of course I can't tell you for nothing."
Old Yu was so angry that he wanted to attack again, but was stopped by Professor Zhang.
Professor Zhang placed the ancient jade in front of Yang Goudan.
He said softly, "The relief on this piece of ancient jade should be a totem or ancient writing."
"What exactly it is, I can't confirm yet."
"It has high research value and is an unearthed cultural relic."
"Legally, individuals cannot buy, sell or collect them."
"So, I suggest you turn it in."
"What the hell?!" Yang Goudan was immediately furious when he heard the word 'hand over'.
He stiffened his neck and shouted, "Hand it over!"
"I won't hand it over even if you kill me!"
"You bastard professor, you have the same plan as that bastard village chief!"
Yang Goudan cursed as he picked up the ancient jade and put it in his pocket.
When he turned to leave, he heard footsteps outside the yard.
Then the village security director shouted, "Old Yu, Yang Goudan is at your house, right? Open the door!"
"Fuck!" Yang Goudan glared at Lao Yu fiercely: "You bastard, you leaked the information..."
"Don't spit blood at me. I've been in the house the whole time."
"And you climbed over the wall into my house."
Old Yu said this as he walked out, preparing to open the gate.
"Old...Brother Yu!"
"Brother Yu, you are my real brother!"
Yang Goudan said anxiously, "Please let me hide!"
"As long as you can escape this, I'll give you the ancient jade for free, and I'll also tell you the location of the pit..."
Before Yang Goudan could finish his begging, someone had already climbed over the wall and landed on the ground.
Old Yu, who was standing at the door, took a closer look and saw that the people who came over the wall were the village militia.
clang.
The militiaman unbolted the door and opened the gate.
The village security director walked in with his hands behind his back and steady steps.
"Old Yu, are you going to protect Yang Goudan?"
"No, it's not." Old Yu was so panicked that cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
While wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, he explained, "I didn't protect him. He was the coward who climbed over the wall and broke into my house in the middle of the night."
"Just now I was about to open the door for you, but this bastard stopped me..."
Before Lao Yu could finish explaining, the village security director had already brought people into the house.
Yang Goudan was trapped in the house and became a turtle in a jar.
Seeing that there was no way to hide, Yang Goudan's eyes rolled around and he raised the jade stone high and said, "Don't come over!"
"I'll smash this thing if you dare come over here!"
The village security director didn't stop, but instead waved his hand and said, "Go! Catch him!"
Several militiamen immediately rushed forward.
Yang Goudan closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, and swung his arm to smash the ancient jade to the ground.
Professor Zhang couldn't bear to watch it anymore.
He stepped forward and held tightly his hand holding the ancient jade.
He said with great sorrow: "You can't fall!"
“This is an important cultural relic!”
"You fucking bastard..." Yang Goudan looked at Professor Zhang who stopped him, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
He raised his left arm and locked Professor Zhang's neck, and with his right hand he took out a small knife made from a saw blade and stabbed it into Professor Zhang's neck.
He took Professor Zhang hostage.
He threatened, "If you come any closer, I'll kill him!"
Several militiamen who were rushing forward stopped immediately and turned to look at the village security director.
Waiting for instructions from the Director of Public Security.
The village security director took a deep breath, frowned, and said, "Yang Goudan, don't resist!"
"Quickly release the professor from the provincial capital!"
"If anything happens to the professor, you'll be shot!"
Seeing that the threat worked, Yang Goudan immediately became arrogant.
"Pooh!"
"Stop threatening me with bullets!"
"If the provincial capital's professor's blood is spilled here, you and that bastard village chief will be in big trouble!"
"Make way!"
"Otherwise I'll drag you down with me even if I die!"
The village security director hesitated, took two steps back and said, "Get out of the way."
Several militiamen retreated to the courtyard wall.
Yang Goudan took Professor Zhang hostage and slowly walked out.
Just as I was about to walk out of the yard, a big rooster ran out of the chicken coop by the wall.
The rooster flapped its wings and flew towards Yang Goudan.
When Yang Goudan raised his hand to block the rooster, his whole body suddenly shook violently, his eyes widened, his head raised and he let out a hoarse scream.
It looked like something was possessed by him!
