Originally, Chen Tuwa was afraid that the female ghost, who had the ability to go through walls, could still come and bother him even if her body was buried. However, after a few days of fear, he found that the ghost was really gone.
The only problem was how to explain it to his parents.
Although telling the truth was also a solution, to be honest, he didn't think that anyone would believe him.
So he simply lied, saying that he accidentally dropped the sword into the river when he was washing the mud off it.
There was a big river not far from Chen Tuwa's house. That was the basis of his lie, and he wasn't afraid that anyone would want to fish for it. A chemical plant was built upstream of the river seven or eight years ago, making the river colorful. There was nothing but water hyacinth in the river. Even the crayfish that could survive in the cesspool had all died. Only people who took things too hard would go into the river.
Regarding this, his parents had nothing to say except that they felt sorry.
Originally, if things went on like this, his life would soon be back on track. As for the female ghost in the sword, at most, it would be a story that he would tell to his children and grandchildren when he was old.
However, unexpected things happened. One day, when he was plowing the soil, a villager called him home. As soon as he got home, Tu Wa felt that the atmosphere at home was not right.
His mother kept wiping her tears. His brother, who usually lived at school, also came home with a frown on his face.
So he put down the hoe and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong, Mom?"
"Something happened to your father!"
The story was very simple. Chen Tuwa's father drove a battery tricycle to the street to buy something, but he was hit by a car halfway.
That was not the point. The point was that the car owner ran away …
There were no witnesses, no surveillance cameras, and no record of the license plate number, so Chen Tuwa's father's medical expenses could only be paid by his family.
However, his father was the main labor of the family. After he fell down, the family lost its backbone. Moreover, it was said that his injury was serious and he needed surgery. The surgery fee was very expensive, and Tu Wa's family did not have the money.
His brother hesitated for a while, and finally pulled Tu Wa to a corner and told him that he did not plan to continue studying. He wanted to drop out of school like Chen Tuwa and work to earn money.
Chen Tuwa was anxious when he heard this.
His smart and sensible brother had always been the hope of the Chen family. Tu Wa dropped out of school so that his brother could continue to study with good grades.
However, it was impossible to leave his father in the hospital. It was almost impossible to raise such a large sum of money in a short period of time.
Wait a minute …
It didn't seem impossible.
Therefore, Chen Tuwa took advantage of the dead of night to dig out the sword that he had buried.
"You damned mortal, you dare to do this to me!"
As soon as the sword unearthed, the female ghost's face to to him.
"Hehe, aren't you still relying on me to help you get through this predicament? You!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Zhen to Tu of course ghost
However, Chen Tuwa didn't seem to notice the other party's words at all. He just replaced the rags and straw rope on the sword with canvas and nylon rope. Then, he took the two-hour bus ride to the city.
Southern Chu was a relatively large city in this region. Naturally, there were some shops that couldn't be found in a small county town — for example, antique shops and the like.
"Boss, how much can this be sold for?"
"Ahhhhh! How dare you sell me for money! "
The female ghost made threatening gestures, but Chen Tuwa knew that she couldn't affect reality, so he ignored her.
"Five hundred."
The owner of the antique shop said without hesitation after studying it for a while.
"What? It's only 500 yuan! " It was unknown where the female ghost found out about the purchasing power of money in this era, but she became even more dissatisfied. She complained to the shopkeeper, but the shopkeeper could not see her at all.
"Isn't this too little?" Chen Tuwa was a little hesitant. "It's an antique after all …"
It wasn't that he was well-versed in antiques and felt that the price was unreasonable. It was purely because the price was too far from the price of Father Chen's surgery.
"Antique? Young man, it's fine if you use this thing to deceive ordinary people, but don't make a fool of yourself here. Do you know that the pattern is too shabby? Whose antique would be this new? "The shopkeeper sneered." I'm willing to pay 500 yuan because this style is rather interesting. "
After he finished speaking, he seemed to be still not satisfied and continued to educate. "I'm telling you, if you want to make a fake, don't pick this kind of thing to make. This thing looks similar to a bronze sword from the Warring States Period. If you really make this kind of fake to the extent that it looks like the real thing, no shop will dare to accept it. It's a national treasure on the same level as the King of Yue's Gou Jian Sword.
After hesitating for a long time, Chen Tuwa still didn't sell it in the end.
In any case, it's only 500 yuan. I might as well hand it over to the country.
"I say, you're a female ghost, but you're actually staying in such a worthless thing …" After running to several antique shops and receiving similar replies, Chen Tuwa finally gave up.
"What do you mean worthless! I'm telling you, this sword is the real thing! Have you heard of the Emperor's Sword? "
The female ghost jumped up and down to complain about the sword she was lodging in. "Have you heard of Xiang Yu? Have you heard of Han Xin? I'm talking and laughing with them! It's those idiots who don't know what's good for them! "
"I remember that those two guys seemed to have died quite miserably."
Tu Wa, who hadn't studied history systematically, recalled the two names in his memory. In the end, other than being besieged on all sides and committing suicide in the Wu River, they were also the disaster of the Zhong Shi. Suddenly, his impression of the sword and the female ghost in the sword was lowered by another level.
"Gu … this feeling of humiliation that I can't refute …" The female ghost covered her chest and floated in the air, making an action similar to OTZ.
Chen Tuwa ignored the female ghost's self-entertainment. After discovering that his method didn't work, he could only continue to think of a new way.
If ordinary people could see the female ghost, it would be a good idea to open an exhibition and collect tickets. Unfortunately, only he could see it now.
Thinking of this, Tu Wa glanced at the female ghost.
"You're really useless …"
"Why did you say this out of nowhere?! What grudge do you have with me?! "
The female ghost who was innocently shot asked in a frenzy.
However, she was ignored by Chen Tuwa again.
"Ah ah ah ah, you bastard! Anyway, it's fine as long as I can help you make money, right?! Watch me! "
The flustered female ghost quickly disappeared from Chen Tuwa's sight.
At first, Chen Tuwa was afraid that she would do something illegal, but when he thought that she couldn't affect reality, he immediately felt relieved.
Sure enough, being a loser also had its benefits …
