I couldn't help but interject: "Didn't the Yinxu archaeological team ask us for emergency rescue? Wouldn't it be bad for us to waste time in a small county town?"
Lao Jiang glared at me: "What do you know? The archaeological team has lost contact a long time ago. It won't make much difference if we arrive a few days later. But if we follow this line of investigation, we might be able to find the entrance to the Yin Ruins."
"In our line of work, clues that fall from the sky are often gifts from God. Remember, kid, you must not let this gift live up to you!"
At this time, I thought that Lao Jiang was deliberately using Master's example to suppress me, and I only half-understood what he said.
After I first arrived, I encountered more and more things, and finally understood the true meaning of this sentence!
We agreed to go to Liangyi Traditional Chinese Medicine Store the next day, and Yin Ling'er began to give us an eviction order: "It stinks so bad, you should take a good bath at night."
She pinched her little nose with her pink fingers, looking so delicate and cute that she couldn't describe it simply.
After noticing my gaze, Yin Ling'er glared at me fiercely, turned around and pinched the corner of He Lanxue's clothes pitifully, calling "Master".
He Lanxue nodded and urged us to leave.
After Lao Jiang and I returned to the room, Lao Jiang raised his arm and smelled it like a black dog: "It smells a little bit."
After saying that, Lao Jiang rushed over to sniff me again.
I really don’t want to recall that ambiguous gesture again in my life.
At Lao Jiang's strong request, the two of us took a hot bath. This was also the first time I discovered that Lao Jiang loves to be clean so much.
After tidying up, it was finally time to rest.
Before going to bed, he heard Lao Jiang muttering to himself: "What kind of sacrifice is it that requires so many oracle bones..."
I covered my head with a quilt, and the world was finally at peace.
Early the next morning, we had some breakfast at the inn and headed towards Liang Yi’s Chinese Medicine Shop.
As the waiter said, Liang Yi’s Traditional Chinese Medicine Shop is very close to here, and we saw the plaque with flying dragons and phoenixes in just one cup of tea.
Before I even entered, a strong herbal smell hit my nostrils.
There were not many patients who came to the medicine shop to check their pulse in the early morning. There was only an old man with a goatee and a young apprentice. The old man with a goatee was wearing a gray robe and looked very energetic. He was urging the young apprentice to grind medicine with his hands behind his back.
Lao Jiang looked at me and took the lead in crossing the threshold and shouted: "Doctor Liang!"
The old man with a goatee was lean and lean. He pushed up his glasses on the bridge of his nose and walked over, asking us what we needed.
Lao Jiang didn't want to beat around the bush, so he slapped a few pieces of turtle shell on the counter and said with a smile: "We are not here to see a doctor this time, but we want to ask Dr. Liang about something."
Doctor Liang glanced at the turtle shells and said nothing.
Lao Jiang put aside the purpose of his trip and asked, where did these turtle shells come from?
"Where did it come from?" Dr. Liang said angrily: "This is not just an ordinary dragon bone. It is used to regulate the patient's energy and spirit. Don't think that you dare to find trouble because there are so many of you. Believe it or not, I will call you, patrol room." People will come!”
Lao Jiang smiled and said: "It would be better if the patrol house came. I would like to ask why only your family's dragon bones have words on them. Could it be from which tomb they were dug?"
Doctor Liang was still fearless. Instead, he looked around at Old Jiang with a strange look and said, "Don't say anything without any evidence! I see that this gentleman's face is innocent. If I'm not mistaken, do you have something serious?" Kidney deficiency? You often feel weakness in your western limbs, dizziness, and tinnitus. Is it difficult to do that kind of thing? "
Lao Jiang exploded when he heard this, but Yin Ling'er beside him burst out laughing. Looking at He Lanxue, she also looked like she was obviously holding back her laughter.
Lao Jiang picked up Dr. Liang and shouted angrily: "Who do you think can't do it? Who do you say can't do it?"
Doctor Liang did not expect that Old Jiang would be a tough opponent, so he pretended to be calm and said: "I just think that Mr. has signs of kidney deficiency. Please put me down first and I will take your pulse."
His address to Lao Jiang has become you, and he is obviously cowardly.
Lao Jiang's eyes were red and he tried to defend himself: "I don't have kidney deficiency, my kidneys are very good!"
I couldn't help but want to laugh, but I was afraid of being beaten to death by Lao Jiang. When Dr. Liang's face turned red and he could hardly breathe, He Lanxue stood up and reminded Lao Jiang: "It's almost done, don't make a fuss." human life.”
Although Lao Jiang was almost furious, he still listened to He Lanxue and let go of Dr. Liang.
Dr. Liang sat down on the ground and breathed in the fresh air. Only then did the apprentice dare to come over and pat him on the back.
Lao Jiang looked at He Lanxue aggrievedly, like a little daughter-in-law: "Ximei, I'm really worthy of you."
He Lanxue had no time to care about him, so she raised her chin at him, hinting him to take out the things.
Before Lao Jiang could recover from his grievance, he asked He Lanxue something. I quickly stepped forward to remind him, "Didn't Qilin give you a pass before going out?"
Lao Jiang immediately took out the mysterious document and held it up in front of Dr. Liang's eyes: "Open your eyes and see clearly who we are."
Doctor Liang originally wanted to drag him to the patrol room, but when he saw the official seal on the document, he was instantly shocked: "You, you..."
He stuttered for a full minute.
Lao Jiang said sternly: "Let me ask you again, where did those keel bones come from? Otherwise, when the patrol house comes, you two will be shot on the spot. Believe it or not."
Now Dr. Liang was no longer stubborn. He even cried and knelt down and said, "I'll recruit them all! But it's really not my theft. A week ago, a few mysterious businessmen set up stalls on West Street. I didn’t know what the sack was like. I saw it wasn’t a dragon bone? I bought it all for ten silver dollars.”
"By the way, those people are also selling bronzes, so they probably have something wrong with them."
Doctor Liang weakly added this sentence, which meant that those people were probably tomb robbers. He knew that those things were taken out of the ancient tomb, so he was unwilling to tell us about the origin of the dragon bone just now.
Lao Jiang's eyes brightened obviously, but he asked in a lowered voice, "Then do you know where those mysterious businessmen are?"
Doctor Liang said: "After sunset, you can try your luck on the streets in the west. They usually appear in the ghost market selling some rare things."
Lao Jiang said yes.
Dr. Liang finally breathed a sigh of relief, thinking he could send away our giant Buddhas, but Lao Jiang turned back and asked, "How many dragon bones do you still have here?"
Doctor Liang seemed to have realized something, and was about to find an excuse to refuse. Lao Jiang added with a wicked smile: "You also know that these things came from evil sources! They must all be confiscated, otherwise, there will be two more innocent souls on the execution ground after the autumn." ”
"Yes, yes, there are two big bags left. Sir, please wait for a while, I'll go get them right now!"
After that, Doctor Liang took the apprentice back to the inner room.
