Diary of Grave Robbers

1.2 Fifty years later

Fifty years later, my thoughts was being interrupted by an old man. I closed my grandfather's diary and looked up at him.

"Do you accept scroll?"Just by looking at him, I knew that he was just asking for the price and not really wanting to sell anything.

"I do, but the price is not high." I told him, hinting to him that if he does not have good stuff, he should leave and don't waste my time.

In our business sector, one single deal can allow us to live in luxury for three years. Normally no one will come into our shop but if they do, it was just those clueless people that doesn't know what they were facing with. Now that I see those customers, I just shoo them out.

"Can I ask, is there a ancient Warring State scroll,by the one that was stolen by a few grave robbers at Changsha fifty years ago, but was conned off by an American?" He eyed my shelf of collection with great interest.

"Since you said it was already with the American so how could I have it?"

" Laoyang introduce me, he said you will have a way."

I put up my defense, LY had gotten himself into jail the year before, how could he mention me? Feeling anxious, "W...which LY, I don't know him."

"Keke... I understand," he took out a watch and showed me.

That watch was given to LY by his first love, he treated this watch as precious as his own life. If this watch was really on the old man,then he was really saying the truth.

"Even if you're LY's friend, what do you want?"

"I had a friend who brought something back from ShanXi and want you ask for your opinion, see if that's real or not."

"With your Beijing accent, I can tell you're from Beijing. Beijing is filled with people that is capable of answering your question, why do you have to come here?"

"It is really true that people from the south are wise, even if you are young,you know your stuff very well. To tell you the truth, I come here to see your grandfather."

"To see my grandfather? What do you actually want?" My tone took a huge change.

"I just want to know that if our scroll is the same as the one your grandfather had."

Before he even finish his sentence, I shouted at the clerk that was napping, "WM, sent the guest out!"

"Why the sudden change in mind?" The old man was panicking.

"What you say is good, but you came too late, my grandfather died last year, if you want to meet him, you can leave this place and kill yourself!" What happened years ago had even Even the central government had been involved in that incident, how could I let someone like you to disturb the peace again?

"How can you say something so awful? " The old man laughed, "It does not matter even if your grandfather is gone, I have something that might i interest you, at least show the minimum respect for your customer. "

If I does not do what he wants, his tight smile indicates that he will not leave.Since LY brought him here, I cannot do anything to him. With a sigh, "Let me see what you've got, although i　might not comment on anything.

The Warring States silk book has more than 20 volumes, each volume is different, that one that my grandfather managed to get his hands on was just a short part of it, but it is extremely important. These books cannot but bought even money cannot ensure that you can get these books. With a few of them under my care, I will protect them at all cost.
