There is a saying circulating in Binhai City’s antique circles:

'Porcelain plums, ancient paintings, the king sitting in the eyes of copper coins; jade willows, bronze squares, the king of leaks. His surname is Jiang.'

It is about the most famous antique masters in Binhai City. The first five have only made achievements in their respective fields, but Jiang Yuan is the real treasure hunter in the Binhai City antique circle.

Since entering the industry by accident at the age of twenty-five, Jiang Yuan has handled thousands of antique collections with a total value of billions, most of which were acquired through scavenging.

Who would have thought that such a man of great influence would be hit by a huanghuali shelf containing hundreds of precious collections falling down three days ago, and he died in a daze.

Everyone in the circle was lamenting, saying that Jiang Yuan's luck had run out.

However, the person involved, Jiang Yuan, was slowly opening his eyelids at this moment, waking up from chaos...

Jiang Yuan sat up and rubbed his temples, his dizzy head was buzzing, and his mouth felt dry for a while.

Even the breath is pungent with the smell of alcohol.

The light was a bit dim. When Jiang Yuan looked up, he saw rows of blue-gray tiles above his head. The two light-transmitting tiles in the middle were mostly covered by fallen leaves, and light could be seen everywhere in the gaps between the tiles.

Jiang Yuan was stunned, and subconsciously stretched out his hand to pull the nylon light cord tied to the bedside. There was a 'click' sound, and the light bulb hanging on the earthen wall flashed, emitting yellow-orange light.

The furnishings in the room came into view. There was a blackened wooden cabinet in the corner opposite the end of the bed. There were a lot of old clothes and a mirror piled on the wooden cabinet. There were also three green-brown pickle jars next to the cabinet, which constantly had a salty smell.

Float out.

"This is?" Jiang Yuan's eyes gradually became surprised: "This is my ancestral home in my hometown!"

Jiang Yuan jumped out of bed, walked around the room twice, and finally fixed his eyes on the mirror.

Under the yellow-orange light, a handsome face that had just shed its youthfulness but had sharp edges and corners without a single wrinkle appeared in the mirror.

His eyes were deep and his features were regular, but his face was pale, revealing a trace of fatigue and malnutrition.

Jiang Yuan trembled, and quickly stepped back with his eyes wide open, his face full of disbelief, "This...this is what I looked like when I was young, how is this possible!"

I glanced at the calendar posted on the wall again, and the four numbers 1992 looked so dazzling!!

Jiang Yuan pinched his thigh hard, "It hurts! Not only am I not dead, but I'm back to 1992?"

Jiang Yuan rushed out of the room excitedly and saw that the furnishings in the main room were exactly as he remembered them.

A one meter square, greasy and blackened square table and several wooden stools were placed in the center of the main room. There were poles, ropes, hoes and other farm tools near the corners. The two wooden doors were fastened with upper and lower bolts, and the door cracks were

There was still a glimmer of light inside.

Jiang Yuan felt that all this was extremely unreal, and with trembling hands he pulled open the bolt on the main room door. A dazzling light made him couldn't help but squint his eyes.

The vision gradually became clearer, and a dark green came into view, which was the continuous green mountains on the opposite side.

On the mountainside, there are dozens of houses scattered here and there, most of them are houses with earthen walls and tiles, and a few have built one-story houses with blue bricks.

This is Jiangjiacun, a poor but quiet and peaceful small ravine. Jiang Yuan's ancestral house is halfway up the mountainside in the middle of the ravine.

"What a beautiful scenery," Jiang Yuan sighed with emotion, scanning the fields in the ravine, and suddenly saw two figures walking towards his home along the path beside the fields.

The person at the head is called Jiang Dahai!

Jiang Yuan's eyes turned cold, and then he remembered that Jiang Dahai invited him for a drink last night.

Jiang Dahai worked abroad for several years and made a lot of money in some unknown way. When he came back to the village, he said he wanted to build a three-story brick house. For this reason, there was a heated discussion in the village. Everyone said that Jiang Dahai was promising.

The young people in the village should learn from him.

This matter had nothing to do with Jiang Yuan, but last night Jiang Dahai invited him for a drink and said that he had found someone to see it. Jiang Yuan's ancestral house was the place with the best feng shui in the village and he wanted to buy it to build a new house.

Of course Jiang Yuan disagrees. Rural people only have two treasures, one is a house and the other is land. Nothing is missing.

But when a thick stack of banknotes was slapped on the table, totaling three thousand, Jiang Yuan, who was already dizzy from drinking, was shaken.

My ancestral house is over a hundred years old and it used to be considered a 'luxury house', but now it only has a few rotten mud walls, and it is not even worth 3,000 yuan per kilogram.

Look at Jiang Dahai, who has gone out to work for a few years, and when he comes back he has to build a three-story brick house, and he still has to guard the barren one-third of an acre of land, and barely make ends meet. This is really infuriating.

.

In addition, Jiang Dahai promised to lend Jiang Yuan his old house to live in, and also said that he would take Jiang Yuan out to make a lot of money. Jiang Yuan was so drunk that he drank three glasses of sorghum wine and agreed as soon as he slapped the table.

I received a deposit of 1,000, which is now hidden in a pile of corn bags in the side house. The rest can only be obtained after the ancestral house is demolished.

"grass!"

Jiang Yuan came to his senses and couldn't help but cursed. After selling his ancestral home in his previous life, Jiang Dahai fulfilled his promise and asked someone to take Jiang Yuan to other places first. However, instead of making a lot of money, he was sent to a prison.

coal mine.

After a big accident in the coal mine, Jiang Yuan, who almost died, left the coal mine decisively. He moved goods at the dock, worked in a stone carving factory, changed seven or eight jobs in two years, and finally worked in an antique store as a warehouse manager for three years.

, because of his earnestness and sincerity, he was appreciated and given guidance by his boss, and accidentally got into the antique circle, and finally became stable and wealthy. After returning to Binhai, he became known as the "Binhai Leak Picking King", and naturally he also found people to be friendly to him.

Greetings to Jiang Dahai, who has become the big boss.

Then Jiang Yuan learned that when Jiang Dahai demolished his ancestral house, he found an ancient jade on the beam and sold it at a high price to have the capital to open a brick and tile factory.

Unfortunately, Jiang Yuan's attempt to retrieve the ancient jade was no different than finding a needle in a haystack.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yuan quickly turned around and rushed into the main room. He moved the wooden ladder leaning against the corner and put it on the beam. He climbed up and groped along the beam.

Most of the old houses in rural areas continue the ancient tradition of putting coins on the beams, commonly known as "fangliang money", which means "a happy family and a prosperous life".

Some put copper coins, and some put gold and silver. Jiang Yuan was also curious as to why the piece of ancient jade placed on the beam of his house was there.

After groping on the beam for a long time, Jiang Yuan found a cloth bag covered with dust.

After blowing away the dust, I discovered that the bag was made of bright yellow silk with auspicious cloud patterns embroidered with gold thread.

Jiang Yuan's face was full of doubts. He had never heard of any powerful people in his ancestors. How did this silk and the ancient jade inside come from?

Gently untying the red rope wrapped around the cloth bag, and after opening it, a warm milky white light appeared in the palm of Jiang Yuan's hand.

"Can it still shine?" Jiang Yuan murmured, and after a closer look, the ancient jade had already revealed its prototype.

This ancient jade is oval, milky white, and a finger thick. It is densely engraved with mysterious symbols that cannot be understood. It also exudes a warm luster, is shiny and delicate.

What surprised Jiang Yuan was that the mysterious symbols on the ancient jade seemed to be flowing, which made Jiang Yuan dizzy.

Only the crooked word "江" in the middle of the ancient jade was recognized.

The ancient jade was held in the palm of his hand, and it was cold. It was still cold in March. Jiang Yuan trembled and felt a trace of cold air penetrate into his skin along the palm of his hand.

Even though Jiang Yuan once had the title of 'King of Leak Pickers', he can't figure it out now.

This is normal. After all, Jiang Yuan's title as the 'King of Leak Pickers' really has some water in it. Most of it relies on his incredible luck and that mysterious telepathy.

Having been in the antique business for nearly thirty years, Jiang Yuan is the best in the world in picking up treasures, but his level of treasure appraisal can only be considered to be in the middle or upper reaches.

After looking at the ancient jade for a while, Jiang Yuan not only felt dizzy, but his vision also became blurred, and he was so frightened that he quickly looked away.

But the coolness emitted by the ancient jade continued to penetrate into Jiang Yuan's palm.

After a while, Jiang Yuan looked at Gu Yu again, but was instantly stunned.

"What's going on? Where are the symbols engraved on it?"

Jiang Yuan turned over the ancient jade and looked at it several times. All the mysterious symbols just now disappeared, leaving only a slippery ordinary milky white jade.

Just at this time, there were voices outside the door, and Jiang Yuan quickly stuffed the jade into his pocket.

"Jiang Yuan, open the door quickly. Are you still awake? I said you don't have enough drinking capacity~"

Jiang Yuan opened the door with a cold face, and sure enough he saw Jiang Dahai and the village chief Jiang Quanquan standing in the small dam in front of the door, pointing to the cracked earth wall and saying:

"Brother Jiang Yuan, your shabby house should have been demolished long ago."

Jiang Yuan said nothing with a cold face, but looked at the village chief Jiang Quanquan who was standing next to Jiang Dahai.

Before Jiang Yuan could speak, the village head Jiang Quanquan walked up to Jiang Yuan with a sullen face, "Jiang Dahai said that you want to sell your ancestral home. You can do this to shame your ancestors!"

"Return the deposit to Jiang Dahai and let the matter be settled."

Jiang Yuan didn't intend to sell it, so he nodded and looked at Jiang Dahai indifferently, "I'll get it to you for a thousand deposit."

"Village chief, I invited you here to be a witness," Jiang Dahai frowned and said to Jiang Quanquan, then looked at Jiang Yuan: "Brother Jiang Yuan, we made an agreement last night, and we will give you a deposit of 1,000 yuan."

How could you have changed your mind?"

Jiang Dahai's voice was a little angry: "Three thousand yuan is more than what you can earn from growing grain for three or four years and selling it. Brother, you have to be content."

"If you say you won't sell it, you won't sell it," Jiang Yuan said with a cold face:

"Uncle Quan is right, I can't do this to shame my ancestors."

Jiang Dahai's face immediately darkened:

"Jiang Yuan, your parents died early. My mother made clothes for you several times. I told you last night that I bought your ancestral house to build a new house."

"I have a date with a partner out of town, and I will bring him back to get engaged at the end of the year, so I am anxious to build a new house."

Seeing that Jiang Yuan's expression was still expressionless, Jiang Dahai couldn't help but snorted: "I'm generous and willing to pay you three thousand yuan. What you can do with the money is better than farming in the village. My old house

I can also give you a place to live, and I’m willing to find someone to take you out to make a lot of money. Tell me, what else are you dissatisfied with?”

Jiang Yuan still shook his head, "If you say you won't sell it, you won't sell it."

After hearing this, Jiang Dahai's face turned livid. He took out a crumpled piece of paper from his arms and pointed to the red fingerprints on it, "The white and black characters are written clearly. I just pressed the fingerprint last night. You

Is it possible that I won’t sell it if I say it won’t be sold?”

"I, Jiang Dahai, always follow the rules when doing things, and the price I give you will only be a lot higher. If you want to cheat, I advise you to think clearly about the consequences."

"I, Jiang Dahai, have been hanging around outside for so many years, and I have a lot of tricks..."

Jiang Yuan couldn't help but sneered:

"You are not worthy of playing tricks with me!"
