【Bottle Evil】Naughty

Dark clouds are pressing down on the city, and the city is about to be destroyed.

In the torrential rain, the momentum of the raindrops falling is like an atomic bomb, and the crackling sound is like an explosion, which seems to be able to smash the ground out of holes.The traffic on the road was blocked from east to west, as if a disaster had caused a blockage of escape, and the red taillights of cars were blurred into a halo in the rain.

Wu Xie stepped on the puddle, stepping on it with one foot, holding the deformed and damaged Paradise Umbrella in one hand, and pushed open the door of the eleventh warehouse with the other hand.

He was drenched, and the rain dripped down his trousers.Wu Xie didn't move forward, but looked inside.His "colleague" Bai Haotian had already come to work, her clothes were dry, apparently she escaped the rain, the situation is much better than Wu Xie.

Bai Haotian put down the document in his hand, hurried forward, and asked in surprise, "Are you here today?"

There was a trace of exhaustion on Wu Xie's face, and he said: "Absent from work is only possible when there is a knife in the sky. After being a boss for so many years, I still understand this workplace norm. But the umbrella is broken, and I am still late. If it is a first-time offender, don't buckle it. Let me pay."

"Stop joking, you know we don't do that kind of thing here." Bai Haotian returned to the table, found the towel in the drawer and threw it to him.

The towel swirled like an Indian flying cake, Wu Xie took it, and wiped his face and hair.Bai Haotian poured hot water into the cup, stared at the steaming heat and said, "Little San Ye, you are still in the mood today."

"Of course I'm not in the mood. Look at this day, God is not in the mood." Wu Xie slowly took the towel off his face and stared at the terrifying rain outside the window.

Holding the water bottle, Bai Haotian pursed his lips, his face was a little tense, and then he said, "If you want to leave, I won't care about it, and I won't notify your second uncle, just pretend you don't know anything, so you can rest assured."

"Then I'll just run away, why did I go to Eleven Warehouse to look for you?" Wu Xie showed a smile at this moment, "Come and hand over the resignation letter to you in person?"

The other party was startled awkwardly, and said: "Anyway, you must start to take some measures now, right?"

Wu Xie nodded, put down the towel, and looked at her, "You still know me, but not enough. One of my measures is to come to you now."

Bai Haotian frowned, "Apart from leaving, what else do you have?"

"Let me put it simply, I'm asking you to go with me. I need your help. With my current situation, I can't save people."

After Wu Xie finished speaking sincerely and peacefully, she took a sip of the cup of hot water.

"Wait a minute—it's hot." Bai Haotian wanted to stop him, but it was too late.Wu Xie covered her mouth, and hissed, "You girl, if I want to leave, you will murder?"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Bai Haotian quickly apologized, "Pour you a glass of cold water?"

Wu Xie waved his hand, "I'll be leaving right away. So, can you do me this favor? Don't ask what to do, anyway, you won't be in danger. If you agree, I will explain to you after I set off that there is nothing too serious now. A lot of time."

His tone was not commanding but egalitarian, even pleading.Bai Haotian also understands that Wu Xie may have no other way out at this moment, after all, such news is too urgent.More than a month ago, the team from Wujiatangkou went to Leicheng to find out what happened, and Wu Xie stayed in Hangzhou to recuperate.Who would have expected that the well-known dumb Zhang in the team would fail in that Leicheng, and his life and death were even unknown.And Wu Erbai, out of consideration for Wu Xie's health, now repeatedly stops his nephew from taking risks to save others.

If half a year ago, Wu Xie and the others were a virtual image of countless stories and anecdotes for a young junior like Bai Haotian, then now, they have ushered in this incomparably vivid situation. With a distinct sense of oppression, it is extremely real.

"Okay." Bai Haotian said.

That afternoon, the rain stopped.

After clearing up, the water on the beach reflected the building on the ground. Several entrances and exits of the eleventh warehouse were closed, leaving only one door to ensure basic cargo access.The location of the warehouse was originally hidden from the eyes and ears, even if it closed abnormally, no one would notice.For a long time after this, people passing by will only think that this family may be waiting to go bankrupt.

Bai Haotian looked at the black tea set in his hand, the shape was not complete, there were a few bumps on the rim of the bowl, obviously it was not preserved properly.

But its glaze color and markings are almost perfect.After washing with clean water, the iridescence on the black porcelain wall is enough to amaze anyone. It changes constantly under the sunlight, presenting a rich layering, as if one can see into the center of the universe at a glance.

The rare pattern of Jianzhan is the reason why countless people fall in love with it, and it is often impossible to obtain it.Even with modern production techniques, the success rate is terrible.

She looked at it carefully and said, "It's so beautiful."

"You girls like shiny things," Wu Xie said, "Can't bear to change hands?"

Jian kiln black glazed bowl, referred to as Jianzhan, was used by the imperial court in the Song Dynasty, and the price in the collection market is rising steadily.Bai Haotian handed it back to Wu Xie, "How much can this thing help us get?"

Wu Xie frowned, "The most expensive Jianzhan can even be offered as a national treasure by the museum. As for the one we found, we have to see if anyone is willing to treat it as a treasure."

"It's all bumped into this." Bai Haotian hesitated.

"Because of this, we are given the opportunity to earn at a low price." Wu Xie sighed lightly, "I cut off the money for the antique dealers over there before, and they made trouble. The second uncle is deliberately intercepting me again. Today If it weren't for you, an outsider, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to find a broken teacup. Post the news and see what the price will be. What are you doing in a daze, take a picture."

Bai Haotian took out his mobile phone and asked, "The gap on the edge of the bowl is also taken in?"

"Yes, take a few more photos and post them all to the antique group." Wu Xie took a piece of dusty cardboard and put it upright behind the teacup as the background for shooting, "Shoot, don't add a filter, don't turn on the flash, if you want that It’s the style of a straight guy taking pictures.”

"Obviously you can take good-looking photos." Bai Haotian tried his best to restrain his desire to add a filter, and said, "It's fine if you can't take pictures yourself. I'm a girl who can't be a straight guy to take pictures."

Wu Xie said innocently: "I can't do it either. Have you passed it on? Okay, put it away."

Bai Haotian looked at the phone, and someone in the group replied "It's a pity it's broken", and he couldn't help asking: "If there were no such gaps, how much could we sell?"

Wu Xie smiled, "The pain has already happened, so there is no need to make impossible assumptions. Things from the Song Dynasty, this is the inevitable price brought by a long time."

Someone in the antique group chatted privately about quotations.Bai Haotian stretched out his hand to make a "3" and asked, "Is it out?"

Wu Xie glanced at the screen of the mobile phone she handed over, shook her head, and said, "This should be the most promising order. If there are only these, it is impossible to raise enough money for us."

There is no room for negotiation, but a high price must be paid.Bai Haotian sent a price increase message to the other party, but there was no reply.For the next half day, Bai Haotian took out his mobile phone to check from time to time, the message box was quiet, and no one else offered to buy.

Bai Haotian fidgeted and said, "What if we can't get rid of the price we offered?"

You can't get rid of your hands, you can't turn around enough money, you can't buy manpower and equipment resources, you can't go to the scene to carry out operations, and you can't save the people you want to save.Wu Xie said: "Then continue shopping, there is another stop. Do you think I have already made up my mind, and I still lack the determination to make money?"

Bai Haotian looked at this man and thought, I know this, but——

"If..." she said, not finishing her sentence.

What if the opportunity to save lives is lost by the time the money is raised?Antiques can be converted into currency, but what if they cannot be converted into opportunities for life?What if, like this Jianzhan, the price brought by time is regret?This is not about emotion, but the result that must be considered.

There was no intense emotion on Wu Xie's face, and he seemed to be trying to calm himself down, "Do you think I'm stubborn?"

Bai Haotian didn't nod or shake his head, he just said: "I will help you to the end."

"I don't make excuses for myself. Stubbornness is stubbornness. According to Buddhism, everything is impermanent, nothing is empty, even 'I' is impermanent, and everything will eventually dissipate. If you stick to the things in the world, it is called' Law enforcement', sticking to the feelings and impulses of 'I', is called 'self-attachment', and the practice of Buddhism is to break the law-attachment and self-attachment." Wu Xie leaned back, closed his eyes, and said slowly : "But I can't break my 'ego', it seems that the door of Buddhism is not worth mentioning."

At first, they lived peacefully in seclusion in Yucun, and everything was triggered by the strange text message Wu Sansheng sent to Wu Xie, stirring up a whirlpool.A series of clues left by Uncle Wu Xie led the group to some strange puzzles.After a few actions, Wu Xie's health was exposed, and it was no longer convenient for him to go to the field, so he stayed to recuperate.

The rest of the staff followed the clues and came to the so-called Thunder Valley.However, before the truth was discovered, they met Cheng Yaojin, surnamed Jiao, who was not friendly in the local area.To make matters worse, two of the most notorious hands on the trail are trapped underground.

Yanggong Spring.

In the wet cavity, the space was sealed and pitch black, and the sound of sticky water came from a distance, like the sound of a beast swallowing saliva amplified dozens of times.There is not even the slightest bit of fire in the cavity. Flame combustion is an act of rapid oxygen consumption. Under the current environment, igniting a fire is tantamount to suicide.Even if you long for the light, you have to use other means.

Heixiazi turned on his ultra-long standby mobile phone, and the background of the main interface was a black and white emoji "poverty is revealed in a smile".The white light from the screen helped him illuminate the corner of his feet, and he could see that there were many snails on the ground, densely packed together, like a poorly prepared dish.

The black blind man was worried that he would consume oxygen when speaking, so he typed on his mobile phone: Do you think it is edible?Then show Zhang Qiling the words on the screen.The latter glanced at Heixiazi blankly, without responding.

The black blind man looked at his feet, and suddenly couldn't help but want to eat stir-fried snails with red peppers, he was hungry.

The walls of the cavity are full of mud, and the light shows a black color. There is no sunlight in this place, and even if a little algae can be picked out, it is as black as poisonous.Zhang Qiling wiped off the mud layer on the cave wall, looking at something.

The blind man went over to look at the wall pretendingly, and typed: Is there an escape map drawn on the wall?

Zhang Qiling took a step back and motioned him to come and see for himself.Standing in front of the wall, the black blind man stretched out his index finger, pressed his fingertips against the wall, and then stroked slowly, just like touching tiles in mahjong, stroking the engravings on the wall with extremely slow efficiency.

After touching the three patterns, the black blind man gradually smiled, and said, "Isn't this the mark you always make in the bucket? You have been here before? Let me tell you, my blood pressure is almost two hundred and fifty from nervousness."

Zhang Qiling stood there, looking sideways at the black blind man, but there was no trace of confidence in that expression, instead it looked dignified.Hei Xiazi suddenly read something bad from the silent atmosphere, and the corners of his mouth were suppressed, and he said stiffly: "This is the sign of your Zhang family. The Zhang family has been to this place before?"

Zhang Qiling hummed lightly and admitted.

He also observed Heixiazi's movements just now. There is light from the mobile phone screen in this environment, but Heixiazi needs to use his index finger to perceive the detailed symbol patterns on the wall. That is to say, the degree of eye disease affects survival here. There will be such a day.Now these people, counting them one by one, it seems that everyone has a debt, which was added to themselves at the beginning.

"Are you trapped here on purpose?" Heixia asked, "In order to find these marks."

Zhang Qiling waved his hand and made a silent gesture.Hei Xiazi turned to typing on his mobile phone, with a calm expression, and typed out a series of growls: I thought you were confident before you spoke! !Speak clearly!No place the Zhang family touched was safe. I don't know what your thoughts are. If you want to mess around, you can do it by yourself. I was dragged into the water by your mother!

He ended with a particularly cheap expression, and then gave Zhang Qiling the phone, expressing that he wanted a reply from the other party.Zhang Qiling typed a few words on the screen: I am looking for an answer.

The black glasses sighed, deleted the previous text, and typed out another sentence: Does he know what you are really doing?

Zhang Qiling closed his eyes and shook his head.

The blind man couldn't hold back, he still opened his mouth and said, "I've convinced you."

They have been trapped for nearly a month, the exit is tightly blocked by the water level, and they all rely on the oxygen in the large and small underground cavities to continue their life.It has been a long time, Wu Erbai must have given up on the rescue under the lake, the black blind man thought, he would even go back and bring the bad news to Wu Xie.So, what will Wu Xie do when he gets the news?

The blind man glanced at Zhang Qiling and thought, his big apprentice should be fighting again.

A new message finally popped up on Bai Haotian's cell phone. She saw the other party's quotation clearly and was so surprised that she couldn't believe it. She asked, "Little Sanye, is this number too high again?"

Wu Xie thought for a while, then frowned and said, "I don't have time to think about it, anyway, we are the seller. Jianzhan has been so popular these years, there is no shortage of taking advantage of it."

Bai Haotian was surprised again: "He has already made an advance payment, and he said that he will pay the final payment immediately after receiving the goods."

Wu Xie stood up and said, "You can ask him for a delivery address, and you can send it there. Just let us collect enough money, hurry up and go."
