Return to 1983 and be a detective

Xu Shan has always been a soft-spoken person, but now that he heard what Agui said, he couldn't help but feel soft.

And he did see that this inkstone was a good thing. Last time, the ancient brick made Xiang Jinsong famous at the Xiang family's birthday party. This must be attributed to Agui.

"Well, I'll spend ten yuan to accept your bag of bricks. I'll buy the inkstone in the bricks for another ten yuan. If you're willing to sell it, I'll pay you now."

When Agui heard this, he was overjoyed: "Sell it, I've sold it to you, and I'll give you this bag too."

Taking the two pieces of unity from Xu Shan, tears welled up in his eyes, and he suddenly knelt down towards Xu Shan with a plop.

He kowtowed to Xu Shan, got up, wiped his tears, and left in a sob.

Looking at his back, Xu Shan felt particularly uncomfortable. He clearly took advantage of him both times, but Agui felt grateful.

I have to say that people in this era are really simple and repay their kindness. Compared with many refined egoists in later generations, they are simply different creatures.

He dug out the Duan Inkstone from a pile of bricks. Under the afterglow of the setting sun, Xu Shan looked at it repeatedly. This thing was definitely an antique, and the status of a person who could use such a good inkstone could not be lowered. This thing was so good. Keep it in your collection until you get it appraised later, and you will know its value. I believe this is definitely the most worthwhile investment.

Back in the house, Xu Shan hid the inkstone among the bricks that made up the bed. After making sure that no one could find it, he went to bed and had a good sleep.

At dawn the next day, Xu Shan left. When he left, he left a letter for his eldest sister. He also put all the more than 100 yuan he had earned under the letter and used a broken With the bowl pressed down, place it on the sewing machine.

While he was doing all this, the eldest sister slept soundly and even snored sweetly.

This little girl has had a hard life, her life is hard, and her heart is also hard, so as long as there is a little bit of sweetness, she will be happy and contented.

……

Longshui Station, the dilapidated train station is crowded with people, people in rags, people with big and small bags, people with families, everyone is looking forward to the arrival of the train and taking the train to a new life.Therefore, no matter how shabby their clothes are or how stooped their stature, the hope in their eyes cannot deceive anyone. They are all full of hope.

There aren't that many railways these days, let alone high-speed trains. There are just green trains that stop at every station.And the train tickets were really cheap. Of course, this kind of cheapness only refers to the price. If we talk about the ratio with salary, I guess the train tickets at that time were actually expensive, and taking the train was considered a luxury.

Unless there are special things, most people would definitely not choose to take the train. People in this era are quite closed-minded. Many people have never even been out of their hometowns in their lives. Many people go to the county town as if they are on a pilgrimage.

There is a strong odor in the waiting room. The odor is quite rich. It smells like feet, sweat, and urine. In addition, it is filled with smoke. There is no smoking ban in public places these days. Everyone. The cigarettes smoked also varied, some smoked dry cigarettes, some smoked cigarettes, and some even smoked there holding a hookah.

Xu Shan had never seen such a scene before, and he was stunned when he saw this scene. Before, he was in the labor camp, or lived with Xiang Jinsong in the dormitory of the Post and Telecommunications Bureau, and there was no such obvious sense of time travel, but now he felt it firsthand. , I have indeed returned to the past, and I feel a bit out of place with this past era.

Just as he was thinking this, several people suddenly sat next to him. These guys were dressed in a fashion that could not be seen as professional, but they were all very fashionable. As soon as they sat down, their eyes kept glancing at Xu Shan.

It seemed that they were eyeing Xu Shan.

Xu Shan was very vigilant. When he saw them aiming towards him, he changed his posture, flattened his legs that were originally on his back, put his hands into his pockets, clenched his fists, and made a defensive posture. .

When these guys who were eyeing Xu Shan saw that Xu Shan was wary, they withdrew their gaze and changed their positions one after another. They sat in a few seats not far from Xu Shan and gave a man dressed as an honest-looking farmer to Surrounded.

The guy dressed as a farmer was not alert at all and had no idea that he was being targeted. He was still picking at his feet and thinking about something.

Among the guys who were eyeing him, there was a guy with a small parted hair. He took out two pencils, one red and one blue, and a rope, and invited everyone to bet together.

Xu Shan has heard of this red and blue pencil scam on trains in the past. This is a very simple trick. Take two pencils, one red and one blue, and thread a rope through the two pencils to make a A simple bet that allows punters to guess the color of the pencil that comes out first, and pays one to one if the guess is successful.

In fact, the red and blue pencils are basically controlled by the dealer. Whichever pencil the dealer wants to come out first will come out first.Such a simple game is easy to see through, but the person who sets up the game is never just one person, but a gang, a bookmaker, and a trustee. There are a lot of them trying to deceive one person. Even if you react and you are fooled, They would also worry about the large number of them and would not dare to speak out, so they would suffer the loss of being dumb in silence.

Under Xu Shan's watchful eyes, the banker and the dealer began to perform, successfully attracting many people, including the foot-picking farmer.

The farmer was very excited when he saw people guessing red and blue and winning prizes. He reached into his pocket and dug again and again. Finally, he took out a big sweaty unity and asked a little embarrassedly: "I Can I also deposit it?"

Immediately, a broker made a place for the farmer to squeeze in and place his bet. The farmer bet on red, and sure enough, a red stick came out.

The farmer was very happy and pressed the red again with two big unity cards.The result was another bet.

People around him praised the farmer's luck. The farmer was so praised that he couldn't find the north and placed a bet again, but this time he lost.

Unconvinced, he bet again and lost again. This went back and forth several times. The farmer lost all the money he had won before. At this time, he was completely trapped and took out a lot of money in his pocket. , this large amount of money was estimated to be around a hundred yuan, which was definitely a lot of money at the time.

Obviously this guy was jealous of the loss and was anxious to make money. However, no miracle happened this time. The banker took the farmer's money into his arms and asked provocatively: "Are you coming again?"

The farmer reached into his arms and pulled out a dark object, with a black rope stained with oily twist on the back, which looked like a pendant: "This thing is an antique passed down from my family. I pressed this..."

The dealer glanced at the pendant and taunted him: "You should keep this thing for yourself. When you raise the money, I will play with you again."

As he spoke, he stood up and walked quickly to the side, and the peasants also left one after another, leaving the farmer there with the pendant and regretting it, but there was never any regret medicine in this world, even if he It's too late to realize something is wrong now.

Xu Shan has been watching this scene from the side.

But he didn't stand up bravely and stop all this from happening.

This is also related to the fact that he does not belong to this era. He lacks that sense of justice and a trace of passion.We are all adults and need to be responsible for our own actions. The world does not make you worthy of sympathy just because you are weak.

Therefore, it is entirely his own fault that the farmer is in this situation. As long as he is not greedy, no one can deceive you.

While thinking this, the farmer suddenly burst into tears, crying like a child weighing more than 100 kilograms. While crying, he beat his chest and feet: "My money, that is my child's life-saving money..."

The more he said this, the more hateful Xu Shan felt about him. Since money is so important, why should he gamble with it?He felt unable to sympathize.

But when he saw the pendant in the farmer's hand, he suddenly felt a buzzing in his head, as if his soul was being pulled by some force.He seemed to hear the voice in his heart, take it, take it.

He quickly walked up to the farmer and patted him on the shoulder: "Can you sell this ancestral thing for 200 yuan?"

"Selling, but..."

Before the farmer could say anything more, Xu Shan snatched the pendant away, stuffed two rolls of money into his hand, and walked away quickly for fear that he would regret it.

Behind him, the farmer suddenly cried even more sadly: "I could have had 320 yuan, but now I only have 200 yuan..."
