Chapter 177: Deception and Instigation
"How about it? Do you want it?"

Gao Dongxu reached out and touched the other four items. They were all genuine, but unfortunately they had no spiritual energy.

"Good, how much are you planning to sell it for?"

"200--" The leading man looked at Gao Dongxu, hesitated for a moment, looked into Gao Dongxu's eyes with a nervous and apprehensive face, stretched out two fingers, and whispered.

"Haha." Gao Dongxu shook his head and chuckled, then slowly stood up and said helplessly, "I can't afford it."

“It can be sold separately…”

"Haha." Gao Dongxu smiled at the leader and whispered, "They're all from the same tomb. If you buy them individually, they wouldn't be worth much. Fellow villager, besides these, have you dug out anything else from the tomb?"

When the leader heard Gao Dongxu reveal the truth, his face immediately changed. The two brothers behind him also became panicked and reached for their lower backs.

"Don't get excited, relax. I don't mean anything else. You don't have to worry. Life is hard in this world, and you're not the only one doing this. People all over the country are doing this, so don't be nervous."

Although Gao Dongxu tried to comfort the three people with a smile, they not only did not relax, but became even more nervous. They looked defensive and stared at him with murderous intent in their eyes.

"I can tell this is your first time doing this, right?" Gao Dongxu didn't wait for the three to answer, but continued to deceive them, "The stuff is indeed old. You must have dug a Tang Dynasty tomb. However, these unearthed items are not as valuable as you think. Not only can they not be sold at a high price, but they are also very difficult to sell. Even if you come across a good buyer, they won't want it..."

"Why?" Finally, the leader asked in a low voice with a grim expression. To be honest, they had been in the capital for three days and came here to sell every night. They also met several knowledgeable people, but when they heard the price, they turned around and left without saying anything.

"Why else? These are some big troubles that can't be seen in public. People in the industry want to pick up cheap goods and then resell them at a high price to make a profit. But these things of yours can't be seen in public. If they are seen, you will be sent to the police. Tell me, who would buy them?

Besides, it’s the season now, everyone is trying to find ways to fill their stomachs and keep their families from going hungry. All the money is used to buy food, so who would spend money on these things?
I believe you were forced to go down to the tomb, hoping to get some things to exchange for money and buy some food, right?"

Gao Dongxu saw the three people nodding with grim expressions, and laughed in his heart. He continued to deceive: "Isn't that right? Everyone wants food now, so they can eat first. Who would use the money and tickets to save their lives to buy these old things that can't be eaten, drunk, or sold?"

"Brother, what should we do? Our family is waiting for us to bring back food..."

"Third brother, shut up—" the leader scolded in a low voice with an unpleasant expression, then forced a smile and said to Gao Dongxu: "Comrade, thank you for your advice. How about this, since you are also an expert, you name a price. If it's about right, I will sell all these things to you."

Gao Dongxu hurriedly shook his head and said, "Forget it. I dare not make an offer. I just sold fish and I have to buy food. I have a whole family waiting for food to be cooked."

Upon hearing this, the three brothers perked up. The eldest brother quickly grabbed Gao Dongxu's hand and said with a sad face, "Comrade, we really have no other choice. If we don't buy some food, the children will starve to death. Please consider it a good deed and take this thing. Just name the price and I'll sell it to you if it's suitable."

"This..." Gao Dongxu had an embarrassed expression on his face, and was a little reluctant to look at the five pieces of Tang Sancai.

Seeing Gao Dongxu's hesitation, the leader picked up the Tang Sancai horse and stuffed it into Gao Dongxu's hand, saying, "Comrade, just name your price—"

"Hey." Gao Dongxu showed that he couldn't let go of the Tang Sancai. Finally, as if he had made a decision, he said to the three people: "Let's make it clear first. The price I offer is the price I can afford. If you think it's too low, forget it. After all, even if the deal fails, there is still friendship. We can't damage the relationship-"

"No, no—"

"From what you said... absolutely not."

Hearing what the three said, Gao Dongxu frowned and pondered for more than ten seconds. Then he looked at the three brothers and said through gritted teeth, "The tomb guardian beasts are a pair, so they can only be counted as one, which means there are four of them. I'll give you forty yuan, plus five kilograms of food coupons. I can't give you more. I really like these things..."

Upon hearing the price, the three brothers' faces turned a little ugly. This was much worse than they had expected. Of course, after listening to Gao Dongxu's well-intentioned deception, they also knew that things dug out from tombs were not easy to sell and could not be sold at a high price.

I know it, but the psychological gap is still too big and it’s a bit hard to accept.

"Comrade, please add some more, add some more..." At this time, the second of the three smiled awkwardly and asked Gao Dongxu to add some more.

Gao Dongxu smiled bitterly and shook his head, "It's really gone. If we buy these things, our whole family will have to live on coarse food. Wait until next month's salary is paid, or maybe forget it. You guys should wait and sell it. Maybe you can meet a better buyer..."

Gao Dongxu was about to turn around and leave when the boss grabbed his arm and said, "Okay, I'll sell it to you at the price you said!"

"My fellow countryman, are you sure? Or let's just forget it..." Gao Dongxu said with a wry smile as if he was about to regret it.

"Comrade, I'm sure, Lao San, pack up the things—"

The third brother immediately bent down and wrapped each of the five items with a piece of rag, then wrapped the five antiques in a large bundle and lifted them up carefully.

"Give him—"

"Hey, be careful—" Gao Dongxu immediately took the big bundle from the third brother's hands with both hands in fear and trepidation, then smiled bitterly and said: "Hey, why can't I change this hobby..."

Looking at Gao Dongxu's annoyed and tangled expression, the leader chuckled softly and said, "Comrade, the things are yours."

"Hey..." Gao Dongxu smiled helplessly and took out a handful of change and five food coupons from his pocket. He handed them to the other party without even looking at them. "You count them..."

"Okay, thank you." The boss finally breathed a sigh of relief after receiving the money and food coupons. A happy smile appeared on his face, and he began to count the money carefully.

He ordered three times in total, and after confirming that everything was correct, he exchanged glances with his two brothers and said to Gao Dongxu, "Comrade, it's getting late, and we have to go back. We'll meet again if we're lucky—"

"Wait a minute." Gao Dongxu reached out and pulled the other person. Under the other person's frown and questioning gaze, he asked in a low voice a little embarrassedly: "Fellow villager, is this all you got out of the tomb?"

"Comrade, what do you mean by this?" the boss frowned and asked in a low voice.

"Apart from these Tang Sancai, are there any bronze mirrors, jade wares, gold and silver wares, etc.? The murals in the tomb are also very valuable..." Gao Dongxu pointed out in a low voice.

Sure enough, the three brothers' eyes lit up. The eldest brother pondered for a moment and then whispered, "Comrade, to be honest with you, we didn't dig too deep. After we found these things, we stopped, thinking we had found treasure..."

"Well, then it's almost like you went to a mountain of treasures but came back empty-handed..." Gao Dongxu said with a look of great regret.

"Comrade, are you saying there are better things in the tomb?"

"Of course. The truly precious burial objects are all in the main burial chamber, with the tomb owner. Judging from the quality of these Tang Sancai pieces, I can guess that the tomb owner was most likely a Tang Dynasty official, or the son of a prominent family. The tomb owner's identity was definitely not simple, so the burial objects were definitely more than just these."

At this time, Gao Dongxu was undoubtedly tempting and instigating the three brothers. Sure enough, the three brothers all showed excited expressions on their faces, and their eyes were full of greed and ambition.

"If you can still get something, I will start saving money from tomorrow, fishing and selling fish to make money, and buy the things from you. We can do long-term business, how about it?" Gao Dongxu said in a low voice.

"it is good!"

The eldest of the three brothers agreed without hesitation, then looked at Gao Dongxu and said, "How about this, we will come here again in ten days, and we will see you then."

"Okay, then I will use these ten days to save money." Gao Dongxu said excitedly and gritting his teeth.

As agreed, the three of them left in a hurry and disappeared into the night when they agreed to come back. Gao Dongxu, holding the five precious Tang Sancai pieces, was filled with indescribable excitement and joy.

He knew that this chance encounter not only allowed him to obtain five priceless treasures, but also gave him the opportunity to buy all the burial objects of a complete Tang Dynasty tomb.

Without staying in the ghost market any longer, he quickly left from the other end of the alley, turned into a corner and waited for a few minutes. After confirming that there was no tail behind him, he put the Tang Sancai into the space.

He took out five pounds of white flour, ten eggs, and a small can of greasy white lard from the space.

He believed that Qin Huairu would be very happy if he took these three things back.

Without any hesitation, Gao Dongxu spread his legs and ran towards Nanluoguxiang, easily climbed over the wall and landed silently.

"咚咚-"

Gao Dongxu carefully tapped the window glass with his fingers, and soon Qin Huairu pushed open the window.

"Come back? Are you okay?"

"Let me in first--" Gao Dongxu handed eggs, lard and flour into the house. To Qin Huairu's surprise and joy, he jumped into the house through the window and then closed the window tightly.

"So much? And lard? How much will this cost?" Qin Huairu complained with a look of heartache and happiness on her face.

"Don't worry, I will definitely earn back the money I spent today tomorrow. Fresh fish such as black carp and crucian carp are three yuan each on the black market. I will go early tomorrow, catch more, and sell them in the evening." Gao Dongxu took off his black cotton jacket, hat and scarf, and laughed softly.

"Ah?! So expensive?" Thinking of the fish their family had for dinner, it wasn't just eating fish, it was practically eating money. Qin Huairu said with a bit of annoyance, "If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have eaten so much. It would have been better to save a few more to sell..."

"Don't be so greedy. Don't worry, I will definitely be able to catch more." Gao Dongxu smiled confidently.

Qin Huairu said with a charming smile, "If the fish were really that easy to catch, Third Master wouldn't have to worry about his life all day long."

"Haha, Third Uncle is no match for him. With his stinginess, the fish won't even eat the food he gives...it's a wonder he can even catch any fish!"

"Pfft-"

Qin Huairu hurriedly covered her mouth to stifle her laughter, and coquettishly hit Gao Dongxu, who was grinning mischievously, a few times.

"Really, how can you make fun of others like that... Hehe..." Qin Huairu couldn't hold back her laughter and laughed softly.
