Description

It has been a week since I returned to Beijing. Going online and contacting old friends has become Li Yu’s main activity this week.

“Buzz…” QQ flashed and a call came, Li Yu took a look.

“Yes…” Looking at the familiar name and icon.

“It’s Haitao.”

When they were in college, Li Yu and Li Haitao were bunk beds, and the two could be said to be best brothers.

“Li Yu, you bastard, you finally showed up? Where have you been hiding for so long?” A series of accusations came out from QQ.

“Haha, don’t say anything. When are you free? Let’s get together and have a good chat.”

“Okay, tomorrow.”

Then the two agreed on a meeting place.

The next afternoon, Starbucks.

“You guy, it’s harder to meet you than to meet the emperor. Do you know that I have sent you dozens of text messages in the past six months, but you haven’t replied to any of them?”

As soon as they met, Li Haitao immediately began to interrogate Li Yu.

“Let alone dozens of messages, I won’t receive them even if you send 10,000 messages.” Li Yu answered while drinking the cappuccino in his hand.

“Where did you go?”

“In the deep mountains of Sichuan.”

“You are not a dealer of cultural relics, are you? Have you been shopping in the mountains for the past six months?” Li Haitao looked at Li Yu in confusion.

“After studying archaeology for so many years, I still know what can be done and what cannot be done.”

“Then what did you do in the mountains of Sichuan?”

“As a village teacher.”

“You…”

Li Haitao seemed to see Li Yu for the first time and looked him up and down again.

“Brother, did you have a fever and your brain was damaged? Are you crazy? You…” Li Haitao seemed to have no idea what to say and shook his head helplessly.

“Okay, don’t talk about me, talk about you, what work are you doing recently?” Li Yu changed the subject.

“I’m working as an auctioneer at Christie’s Auction Company now.”

“Auctioneer?”

“Yes, you said that it’s not easy for graduates of our department to get jobs related to their own profession, and auctioneers are more or less related. So when Christie was recruiting, I came.”

After listening, Li Yu nodded, as if thinking about something.

“What? You seem to have something to say?” Li Haitao also saw Li Yu’s thoughts.

“Yes, it is true. But this is not the place to talk. Come to my place tomorrow and I will talk to you in detail.”

“What’s the matter? Still so mysterious?” Li Haitao looked indifferent.

“It’s a good thing. When you see it yourself tomorrow, you will definitely not be so relaxed.” Li Yu said with a smile.

“What have I not seen? I’m an auctioneer, I’ve seen a lot of good stuff, what else can scare me?”

“Hehe… I’ll know when I see you, okay, let’s not talk about this, let’s go to the Internet cafe to play CS, I haven’t played CS with friends for more than half a year, I’m almost suffocated.”

“Okay, let’s go.”

The two of them stayed in the Internet cafe for the whole afternoon, and they didn’t break up until dark.

After breaking up, Li Yu didn’t go back to the hotel where he lived directly, but ran to the bank. Li Yu didn’t dare to keep such a precious thing as the Tang sword with him. As soon as he returned to Beijing, he deposited the sword in the bank’s safe. At this time, he needed to take the sword out, but when he arrived at the bank door, Li Yu found that the bank had closed at 5:30, so he had to go back to the hotel first and wait for Li Haitao to pick it up the next day.

The next day, Li Yu took out the Tang sword and waited for Li Haitao in the hotel.

Li Haitao also arrived as promised.

“What good stuff is it? Take it out. I want to see what can open my eyes.” Li Haitao urged Li Yu.

Li Yu carefully took out the brocade box behind him, then carefully opened the box and took out the Tang sword from it.

Li Haitao took the sword, looked at it carefully in his hand, and after observing it for a while, he gently pulled the sword out of the sheath. After thousands of years, the cold light on the blade is still compelling.

Li Yu sat there and watched him appreciate the sword.

At this time, Li Haitao no longer had the contempt he had just now, and his expression became more and more serious.

Finally, Li Haitao put the sword back into the brocade box. He looked at Li Yu, then at the sword, then at the sword, and then at Li Yu.

“Brother, you are rich.” After a long time, Li Haitao finally said this.

“This is…”

“Tang sword.” Li Yu took over the conversation.

“Do you remember the photo our teacher showed us when we were in school? The photo of the Tang sword placed in a Japanese temple?”

“Of course, I thought at the time that it would be nice if I could see our national treasure up close, but I didn’t expect…”

“I didn’t expect that I could actually put one in front of you, haha…” Li Yu smiled somewhat complacently.

“Wait, I remember you told me yesterday that you were not a cultural relic dealer, so what is this?” Li Haitao pointed at the Tang sword and said.

“This is a long story, anyway, Haitao, you have to believe that I will never resell cultural relics. As for this sword, it is not mine. Everyone entrusted me to sell the sword.”

“Sold?…” Li Haitao seemed to have heard the big news that aliens attacked the earth, with an unbelievable expression.

“Are you crazy? Oh, sorry, I said that to you yesterday. But do you know the value of this knife? Oh, sorry, we graduated from the same class, you must know. But since you know the value of this knife, you are not crazy, but why do you want to sell it?”

“Do you know that if you donate this knife to the country, then as the discoverer of this knife, you will become famous in the domestic archaeological community, and even in the international archaeological community. I don’t know how many museums and archaeological institutes in China will invite you to be a guest professor. Foreign universities will also invite you to give lectures, and the income from a lecture may be tens of thousands of US dollars. In a few years, you will have all the fame and money you want. Isn’t it for these that we studied hard for four years in college? You actually said you want to sell this knife, I… I really don’t know what you think.” Li Haitao shook his head violently and said excitedly.

“If this knife is really mine, I will definitely not sell it. Unfortunately, it is not mine.” Li Yu said after waiting for Li Haitao to vent.

“Does the original owner of this knife know its value?”

“Probably… he doesn’t know.”

“Since he can entrust you to sell the knife, he must have a good relationship with you, right?”

“…I guess so.”

“Yes, that’s it. He doesn’t know the value of the knife, and he has a good relationship with you. You can just spend some money to sell the knife to him. Then it will be yours. Then everything I just said is not a fantasy, but a reality that will definitely come true.” Li Haitao said excitedly.

“In fact, as long as I ask, I don’t need any money at all, and the owner of this knife will give it to me.”

“Then…” Li Haitao was about to speak.

“But I can’t live up to my friend’s trust, just like if you entrust me to do something, I will definitely do it. I won’t sell out my friend’s interests for my own sake.” Li Yu looked at Li Haitao and said slowly.

“…I know.” After a long look at each other, Li Haitao finally regained his composure.

Just like Li Yu did at the beginning, Li Haitao also took the Tang sword in his hand and rubbed it. For this rare treasure, everyone who got it would find it difficult to let go.

“Are you really going to sell it?” Li Haitao asked again without giving up.

“Yes.”

“So you asked me to auction this sword in our company?”

“Yes, that’s what I mean, but I don’t know anything about auctions, so please help me auction this sword to the highest price possible, the higher the better.”

“Okay, who let us be brothers? If I don’t help you, who else can I help.”

“I know you are the best.” Li Yu patted Li Haitao on the shoulder and said.

“Don’t give me that, now you and I will take the sword to our company, after the expert appraisal, and then sign a commission agreement, the company will naturally arrange the rest for you.”

“Then everything depends on you.”

Afterwards, the two took the Tang sword to the auction company, and after the experts’ appraisal, it was indeed a genuine product. After the auction agreement was signed, the auction company took care of the rest.

Not long after, the well-known domestic magazine “Archaeology” published the news that the Tang sword had appeared in China. This news caused a huge sensation in the domestic cultural relics circle, so that under the strong request of everyone, the auction company had to find Li Yu and asked him to put the Tang sword in the History Museum for exhibition for a period of time before the auction.

Li Yu agreed very happily. He knew very well that the greater the reputation of this sword, the higher the price would be at the auction.

The exhibition attracted many people to visit every day, but unfortunately, just two weeks later, the special auction held for this Tang sword stopped the exhibition.

Li Yu did not go to the auction site. Watching the price jumping back and forth was definitely a torture for people. Li Yu simply waited in the hotel for Li Haitao to tell him the transaction price.

“Ring…” The mobile phone rang.

I looked at the number and it was Li Haitao’s.

“Hello, Haitao. Is the auction over?”

“Yes, it just ended. I called you.”

“How was it?”

“Hey, I had high hopes for this knife. I thought it could sell for more than 15 million. Unfortunately, the final result was far from what I expected.”

“Why are you talking so much nonsense? How much did it sell for?”

“9 million.”

“Who bought it?”

“The Palace Museum. Important national cultural relics like this cannot be taken abroad. There are no foreign buyers, so the price has not gone up. They will transfer the money to your account within three days.”

“Okay, thank you. I’ll treat you to a meal. You can choose the Beijing Hotel. Hongbinlou, Tianlun Dynasty, or Dasanyuan. As long as you can name it, it’s fine.”

“You said it. Don’t regret it later.”

“Don’t worry.”

After hanging up the phone, Li Yu thought about what he should do after getting the money.

“We should buy two generators so that there won’t be power outages at night. We should buy a few more TVs so that people won’t have to argue over different channels. Of course, the most important thing is to buy some sexy underwear for young girls, but this may be a bit troublesome.”

Li Yu wrote down the things he wanted to buy on paper to prevent himself from forgetting. Of course, some things cannot be written down, so just remember them in your mind.

The Palace Museum transferred all the money to Li Yu’s account the next day. After getting the money, Li Yu did not forget the agreement with Li Haitao and invited him to dinner. Unexpectedly, Li Haitao took Li Yu to Tianshang Renjian, and this time he spent more than 8,000 yuan.

After fulfilling his promise, Li Yu planned to go back. Calculating the days, Li Yu has been away from the village for almost a month. The days without Xiaoling and Xiaoyu around him seem so sad. Although Li Yu had called two girls during this period, Li Yu, who was already used to the tightness and pressure of young girls, made the girls climax repeatedly and screamed wildly, but he could not ejaculate no matter what. The girls regarded him as a god and were willing to do it with him without any price, but Li Yu was really not interested in it.

Although the girls in Tianshang Renjian were not bad, the price was really outrageous. Going back early became Li Yu’s biggest wish now. Of course, there were things to buy.

Things like generators and TVs were too heavy and difficult to carry, so they could be bought in Tangu County. Things like sexy underwear should be bought in Beijing, and they were probably not sold in the county.

Although it was a good idea, the reality was not what Li Yu thought. There were not a few adult product stores in Beijing, but it was not so easy to buy children’s sizes.

Whenever Li Yu entered an adult product store, he would tell the store owner, “Take out the smallest size of underwear in your store.”

But every time the underwear the store owner took out disappointed Li Yu, it was obvious that those were prepared for adults. (Of course, it was an adult product store) Even if it was the smallest size, Xiaoling and Xiaoyu probably couldn’t wear it.

“Sir, how tall is your girlfriend?” Many store owners asked Li Yu this.

“Height…” Li Yu couldn’t say, “My girlfriend is 9 years old, and her height is exactly 1 meter.”

“She is shorter than ordinary people.”

Such evasive words always attracted the store owner’s puzzled eyes, because the underwear they held in their hands should be suitable for adult women with petite figures, but Li Yu kept shouting that it was too big.

“Sir, I suggest you go to Guangdong to have a look. Our goods are all purchased there, and there should be more complete ones there.” Finally, a store owner pointed out a clear way for Li Yu.

“Well, that makes sense.”

Li Yu said goodbye to all his friends in Beijing and boarded the flight to Guangzhou. Although he didn’t buy any underwear in Beijing, Li Yu still took a few hundred blue pills with him. The shopkeeper said that it was Viagra, and the polite term should be Wan Ai Ke.

The trip to Guangzhou did not disappoint Li Yu.

The shopkeeper questioned Li Yu carefully before taking him to a dark room, where there were many things that could not be sold openly. Among them was the sexy underwear that Li Yu needed, which was obviously not made for adults.

“Sir, what color do you want? We have a full range here.”

The shopkeeper’s lewd smile seemed very kind to Li Yu at this time.

“All… all.” Li Yu said with drool.

“All?” The shopkeeper didn’t understand what he meant for a while.

“I want as many as you have here.”

“There are 10 boxes here, in 10 different colors and models. There are 100 pieces in one box, a total of 1,000 pieces.” The owner looked at Li Yu after he said that, as if asking: “Do you really want so many?”

“Great, I’ll take them all.” Li Yu said affirmatively.

“This will cost 100,000 yuan.” The owner seemed to have never seen a customer who wanted so much goods.

“No problem, I’ll go get the money, you prepare a few people to help me send these 10 boxes of goods to the railway station, so that I can check them.” Li Yu said.

“Okay, boss, whatever you say.” The owner immediately ordered people to pack these 10 boxes of sexy lingerie into a big box and send them to the railway station.

Li Yu went to a nearby bank to withdraw 100,000 yuan, and soon returned to the store to pay.

At the station, he checked the goods and bought a ticket, and soon Li Yu got on the train back to Tangu County.

As the saying goes, money makes things easier, and this principle is true everywhere.

When Li Yu, who had a lot of money in his pocket, took out the money, a large group of people rushed to carry his luggage. After buying the generator and TV he needed, Li Yu used the money to organize a transport team of more than a dozen people and set off in a mighty manner.

After three days of travel, the transport team led by Li Yu finally arrived at the entrance of Dongzi Village.

Dongzi Village, where nothing major had happened in the past year, was alarmed by the lively transport team. The village chief and villagers all came to the entrance of the village to watch the excitement.

“Village chief, I’m back.” Li Yu waved to the crowd at the entrance of the village as soon as he could see them.

“It’s Teacher Li, Teacher Li is back.” The crowd shouted.

“It feels so good to be back.” Li Yu looked at the sky and said secretly in his heart.
