"Brother Chunlai, where did you get these shoes?" Hu Bayi asked hurriedly.

While winking at Chen Hao, he asked him if the shoe was real or not, Chen Hao nodded affirmatively, and told him with his eyes that the shoe was definitely genuine.

Li Chunlai didn't hide anything, and told the story of the shoe in detail.

There has been drought in their place for ten years, especially this year when it caught up with a severe drought, and there has not been much rain in a year. The villagers are superstitious, thinking that they have offended the gods, and the gods are angry and punish them.

The villagers found a local blind fortune-teller and asked him to make a fortune. The blind man said that it does not rain all year round, but it is caused by the drought, and it will only rain when there is a drought.

The custom of fighting droughts existed in many mountainous areas before liberation. Their place is a very remote and poor valley, so naturally this superstitious custom has been used all the time.

The villagers asked the blind man where Hanba was, but the blind man counted and counted, but he couldn't figure out where it was.

A little boy herding cattle in the back told everyone that when he was passing an old cemetery, he saw a child with green hair get into an old coffin.

When the blind man heard this, he hurriedly said that the thing was a small hag, and there was probably a female, usually a mother and a child. He asked everyone to rush over to catch the hag and beat them to death, then expose it to the sun for three days, and then burn it with fire.

The villagers had no choice but to follow the blind man's advice, and brought a group of young and strong people who were not afraid of death to the old cemetery on the mountain behind the village, and found the old coffin.

Everyone in the village, big and small, has seen this old coffin. It has been placed here for many years, and it is unknown which family it belongs to. It has not been buried yet.

The villagers selected a few brave ones, stepped forward and lifted the lid of the coffin, and a stench wafted from it, which managed not to faint them.

Everyone looked inside, and sure enough, there was a rotten female corpse with only skin and bones lying inside. Beside the female corpse, there was a little monster with green hair all over its body, snoring and sleeping!

The clothes worn by the female corpse, as well as the jewelry on her body, were obviously ancient. Everyone told the blind man about these characteristics, and the blind man insisted that this pair of ancient corpses of mother and child were the rumored mother and child fierce drought.

The female corpse has not yet turned into a Hanba, but it has already turned into a rice dumpling. That little guy is a Hanba. He must be beaten to death before dark, and then burned with a big fire.

The crowd didn't dare to neglect, they found a few young and strong men, dragged the little monster out of the coffin, and beat it with iron rods and leather whips.

What is strange is that the monster beat him with an iron rod and leather whip, and he didn't feel any pain at all. Every time he hit him, a puff of black smoke would come out of his body.

After beating for more than an hour, the little guy no longer emits black smoke, and his whole body has shrunk by half. Only then did the villagers burn it to ashes.

It was already dark at this time, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and it was about to rain heavily. The village head quickly sent someone to burn the coffin, and the rest returned to the village.

The person who was sent to burn the coffin was Li Chunlai. The blind man told him that the female corpse in the coffin had turned into a corpse, and she must be burned before dark, otherwise she would come out in the middle of the night to avenge her son and suck up those who had been beaten up. The blood of the villagers of Hanba.

At this time, all the villagers returned home, and Li Chunlai was the only one left in the barren mountains. He was terrified to death, but he didn't dare not listen to the blind man's words, so he quickly lit a torch and lit the dry wood under the coffin.

When the fire was halfway through, the village bully Ma Bold suddenly came here. He directly pried open the coffin lid, searched for all the funerary objects in the coffin, filled a big bag, and turned around to leave.

Li Chunlai is a very useless person, how dare he provoke a bully like Ma Bold, squatting on the side with his head in his arms and pretending not to see.

Before leaving, Ma boldly glanced at him, then took out an embroidered shoe from his bag and threw it to him, counting it as a hush money, telling him not to tell what happened tonight, or he would be killed .

As a result, on the night of the second day, Ma Bold and his family all died. The villagers found the funeral objects in the coffin from his home, and the village head immediately led people to find Li Chunlai.

Chapter 378

Li Chun came to see that the matter was brought to light, so he had no choice but to tell the story of that night, but he was careful not to mention the fact that Ma Boldly gave him an embroidered shoe, because it was the money for his wife. You can't say even if you kill him.

This is how the embroidered shoes came about. Even though he described it in Huangtu Gaopo dialect, the two of them could still hear it clearly.

"Bosses, let's make a price!" Li Chunlai said.

Hu Bayi and Chen Hao looked at each other, and Hu Bayi said: "Brother Chunlai, the history of your shoe is quite complicated. Do you have a pair of these shoes? If you have a pair, it will be more valuable , if there is only one, the price will be greatly reduced.”

Based on the current market situation, many sets or pairs of antiques are all about completeness. The higher the price, the higher the price. If there is a pair of this shoe, the price can be doubled at least several times. Hu Bayi did not deceive Li Chunlai either. It's all the truth.

Hearing this, Li Chunlai shook his head helplessly, saying that there was really no more, only this one, and he had been hiding it for many years before he dared to sell it.

Hu Bayi took out his Marlboro again, and said, "How about this, brother Chunlai, I will make a deal with you. Your shoes are worth up to 600 yuan. You can go to the market to inquire about them. I won’t deceive you just because you are a farmer brother. Let’s make friends, and if you have any fun in the future, you can use us here, okay?”

When Li Chunlai heard the words, his eyes widened, he stood up from his chair, and exclaimed, "What? 600? Did I hear correctly?"

Hu Bayi hurriedly asked: "Why, brother, you still think it's too little? Then I'll give you another 50."

Li Chunlai hurriedly shook his head: "A lot, a lot. At first I thought it was worth 300 at most, but I didn't expect it to sell for 600."

The two reached an agreement, and Hu Bayi immediately took out the money and wanted to pay the bill. Chen Hao felt that he could sell the shoes for tens of thousands of yuan, but he only gave him 600 yuan.

At that time, Hu Bayi didn't know that this shoe was worth so much money. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so black and only offered it to others for 600. It was said by Da Jinya later that it could be worth at least 8000, or even sold for more than 1.

So Chen Hao hurriedly stopped him, and said to Li Chunlai: "Brother Chunlai, I like your shoe very much, and it is well preserved. How about it, I will give you 1000 yuan. I hope you have something good in the future , or your friends have any good things, bring them to our store, and we will definitely give you a satisfactory price."

When Li Chunlai heard the words, his face showed ecstasy, and he hurriedly nodded in agreement.

Hu Bayi was a little puzzled, why did he give him an extra 400 yuan, but he also knew Chen Hao somewhat, and knew that he must have his reasons for doing so, so he paid the 1000 yuan to Chen Hao at that time without asking any more questions. It's Li Chunlai.

Li Chunlai was so excited that he counted the money over and over again. After confirming that it was correct, he hid it next to his body, thanking the two for giving him a good price.

Everyone ate in the small room until noon, and ate up all the mutton pot and three catties of dumplings before returning to the shop.

Li Chunlai also took the same day's ticket and returned to the Huangtu Gaopo. Before parting, he asked the two of them to go to his hometown to have a look, and he wanted to entertain them well.

Back at the shop, Fatty and Big Gold Tooth had been waiting there for a long time. Seeing them coming back, he hurriedly asked them what they had received.

Hu Bayi took out the shoe and showed them.

When the fat man saw it was a shoe, he scolded: "This old hat is like holding a piece of dog's head gold, hiding it and tucking it in. Why did you bring this shoe after a long time of trouble?"

Da Jinya took a look at the shoes, smelled them again, and hurriedly said: "You don't know something, Fat Master, this is a good thing. May I ask how much money you two received?"

Hu Bayi told him about the price of 600, and Chen Hao increased the price to 1000.

After Da Jinya heard this, he quickly clapped his hands and applauded: "Hehe, you two, your eyesight has improved recently, and you have made a lot of money in just a short while."

"Jin Ye, please give me palm eyes quickly, are these shoes worth so much money?" Hu Bayi asked hurriedly.

Big Gold Tooth leaned in front of the crowd and whispered, "You guys are making a lot of money. This embroidered scented shoe is conservatively estimated to be worth [-]. If you want to meet someone you like, selling it for [-] won't be a problem!"

"Damn! So much?"

"hiss"

Everyone was taken aback.

When Hu Bayi heard that the shoes were so valuable, he only gave someone 1000 yuan, and immediately regretted it. He thought that when he went there in the future, he must make up some money for Li Chunlai, otherwise he would feel bad.

Hu Bayi looked at Chen Hao and asked, "Ah Hao, did you know that the shoes are so valuable, so you gave him 1000?"

Chen Hao shook his head and said, "I don't know, but I made a budget. If the shoes are real, according to the market price, they can sell for at least 2000 yuan, so I ask you to give him 1000 yuan."

He doesn't know more about antiques than Hu Bayi and the others, and he only knows the price because he knows the follow-up plot.

Da Jinya looked out of the window and said with a smile: "My lords, it's Monday, and there is little business on Monday. I didn't expect you to have business coming early in the morning. This is a good sign. I haven't eaten boiled mutton for a long time. , how about we pack up and go to Dongsi Mutton Restaurant together?"
