    The weekend is here, and friends from the auction house arrive as promised.  Wang Zhi finally had a reason to open the cabinet.  Everything is indeed there and has not been moved at all.  He took them out one by one and showed them to his knowledgeable friends for analysis.  "Maybe it's something from the Tang Dynasty or earlier. You found a treasure this time! It's just a pity that it dropped." The friend seemed very excited. He rubbed the thing repeatedly and used a magnifying glass to study the lines on it inch by inch.  and text, and then lamented its damage.  "These are all in Sanskrit, and the style is very close to the Buddhist approach in the Western Regions during the Han and Tang Dynasties." He solemnly told Wang Zhi that if he read correctly, both this thing and the jadeite are valuable, maybe worth hundreds of thousands or even more.  .  "If you like it, take it back and read it slowly." Wang Zhi said sincerely, but his friend didn't appreciate it at all.  "You also know the security of the community where I live. I dare not take such valuable things from home." "You can also take them to work." Wang Zhi continued to persuade.  "Our boss, that vampire, will be miserable if he sees him. He won't be able to recoup the cost." The friend said eloquently without noticing Wang Zhi's emotions at all.  "Besides, a gentleman doesn't take what others like, and I can't do that kind of immoral thing." "It's better that you keep it, I'll just take a few photos, take it to the unit and say that someone wants to auction it, and ask for an appraisal.  Let those old masters take a look. You can decide what to do with it after you know the value." Wang Zhi reluctantly accepted the reality.  After his friend left, he called Lu Lou and asked him to take his things back.  Unexpectedly, Lu Lou was already in Shanghai preparing to fly to Sydney.  In this way, it would be difficult for him to say the value of that thing.  After hanging up the phone and coming back, Li Mi was lying on the desk looking at the thing in concentration.  "I didn't expect this thing to be so valuable." She was a little distracted.  "I didn't expect it either. If I had known it was so valuable, I wouldn't have dared to accept it." "Then what should I do now?" "Let's just let it go and wait for the appraisal results to come out." Wang Zhi sighed, thinking that he didn't know Lu  When will Lou come back?  "Then I'll find a piece of silk to wrap it up." Li Mi stood up in a hurry.  The daughter walked over from the bedroom with her little buttocks twisted, holding a piece of her mother's sweater in her hand, with most of the clothes dragging on the floor.  Li Mi went over angrily and slapped her hard on the butt.  "You little thing, you never do good things all day long!" The daughter burst into tears.  After knowing the ins and outs of that thing, Wang Zhi felt that he no longer seemed so worried.  The pile of things was still locked in the bookcase. He tried to stay in the study after dark, but nothing strange happened, so he gradually relaxed.  Everything is back to its original state.  One day when Wang Zhi was taking the bus, he even acted bravely and caught a thief.  This made him feel that he had regained his courage.  My daughter¡¯s birthday is approaching, and she keeps talking about it in front of her father, as if she is afraid that he will forget it.  Wang Zhi pretended not to know anything and made his daughter bite him hard in anger.  But in fact, he had already prepared gifts for his daughter, and also invited relatives and friends to his home to hold a birthday party for his daughter.  Li Mi looked at the father and daughter who were like living treasures and could only shake his head speechlessly.  The night before my daughter¡¯s birthday, a friend from the auction house called me.  "Wang Zhi, it's me." "Well, Brother Zhao, what's the matter?" "It's the jade you showed me a few days ago. There happens to be an jade expert coming to K City tomorrow. I have a good relationship with him. I want to  Why don't you send it over for appraisal tomorrow? " "Okay, no problem. Thank you!" " Then I'll call you tomorrow." After hanging up the phone, Wang Zhi hesitated and finally took the jade out of the bookcase.  The color of the emerald is as red as blood, and it faintly emits an alluring light under the light.  The inside of jadeite seems to be alive and constantly flowing, making people feel a different charm every time they look at it.  Wang Zhi seemed to be possessed, sitting blankly at his desk, playing with the emerald until late at night.  The black Citroen C5 turned the corner. Wang Zhi was driving while listening to the phone while looking for a parking space on the street.  "I'm sorry, Wang Zhi, that expert suddenly had something to do and canceled the trip at short notice. I just found out about it." "It's okay, it's okay, Brother Zhao, I'm embarrassed that you care so much about this matter.""Brothers, don't say such kind words. That's it, bye." Just as he hung up the phone, another call came in. Wang Zhi looked down and saw that it was his wife's number.  He couldn't help but smile.  There is a large Xiyangyang doll on the passenger seat. He specially ordered it from Taobao. He never took it home. Instead, he put it at the company to wait for his daughter's birthday.  After briefly chatting with his wife and daughter on the phone, Wang Zhi continued to look for a parking space on the street, and went around a long way before finding one on Weihang Street.  He looked at his watch, it was already a quarter past seven, and hurried to the cake shop.  K City in July is the rainy season, the sky is gray and already a little dark.  Because it was meal time, there were very few people on the street.  Wang Zhi did not hold an umbrella, but chose to stand up the collar of his windbreaker, and then took a shortcut to the alley on the street to get the cake.  When walking through the alley, there were two gangsters squatting under the eaves to take shelter from the rain.  Wang Zhi was in such a hurry that he didn't notice them standing up and slowly followed him.  The waiter at the cake shop smiled and helped him tie a big pink butterfly on the cake box. He thanked him repeatedly and then took out his wallet to pay.  The two gangsters standing outside the window looked at the wallets with a lot of cash and pursed their lips in unison.  Wang Zhi hurriedly came out of the cake shop and crossed the street like a whirlwind.  The two gangsters had to jog to catch up with him.  Just as he walked into the alley, the phone rang. Wang Zhi was holding the cake in one hand and turned on the phone with the other.  The gangster from before took out a dagger and stabbed Wang Zhi in the waist from behind. When he saw Wang Zhi trying to turn around, he stabbed him a few more times.  The cake fell to the ground. Wang Zhi finally struggled to turn around. Another gangster rushed over and pushed him to the ground. He touched his lower back with his hand in a daze. Blood stained his hands, and then quickly  The accumulated rain on the ground turned red.  "What should I do? It seems to have hit a vital point." asked the gangster later.  The gangster from before hesitated for a moment and replied, "It's bad luck for him." The two men quickly leaned down to search Wang Zhi's wallet, hurriedly took out the cash inside, and threw it beside Wang Zhi.  Not far away from the phone, a little girl¡¯s voice rang on the phone. A gangster walked over quickly, picked it up, and pulled out the battery as he walked.  The two gangsters quickly left the alley.  The whole process takes less than a minute.  There were cars speeding by on the street next to the alley, but no one saw what was happening here.  Wang Zhi tried his best to raise his head, but he could no longer see clearly and could only see blurry shadows.  "Help me" He groaned, feeling cold and without any strength.  Raindrops kept falling on him, and he couldn't feel the pain of the wound. He only felt that his consciousness was blurring a little bit.  "I don't want to die." He said to himself without anyone hearing him.  The blurry figure of his daughter appeared in front of him.  He felt as if he had reached out but touched nothing.  At this time, a voice appeared vaguely in his mind.  "Swallow itswallow itswallow it" He groped in his chest subconsciously. Finally, he used his last strength to take out the blood-red jade from his pocket, put it in his mouth, and then swallowed it.  Go down.  The darkness came overwhelmingly at this moment, burying him without hesitation.  Li Mi hid on the terrace and called Wang Zhi's mobile phone again and again, but what he always heard was "The number you dialed is temporarily unavailable, please dial again later".  She hung up the phone angrily, calmed down her emotions, tried her best to smile, and then walked into the house.  We didn¡¯t see Wang Zhi until 8 o¡¯clock. Looking at his daughter¡¯s gradually pouting mouth and red eyes, Li Mi had no choice but to start her daughter¡¯s birthday party.  We ate takeaways from KFC and Pizza Hut, and several children of similar ages chased and played around the house with joy, sharing the joy of opening gifts with their daughter, filling the room with joy.  The adults chatted casually in the room in twos and threes, discussing the floods after the drought, the stock market crash and the housing bubble.  As the host, Li Mi had to put aside his worries and greet the room full of guests.  Occasionally, someone would ask about Wang Zhi, and she could only smile and say that he had to work overtime.  It wasn¡¯t until it was time to cut the cake that the daughter discovered that her father had never come back.  There was no cake, and my daughter burst into tears.  The scene was a bit embarrassing, and Li Mi had to use a relatively complete pizza and the remaining candles from last year to complete the ceremony of singing happy birthday and making a wish.  The guests were unhappy in the endAfter leaving, my daughter cried for a long time before falling asleep.  Li Mi called her husband again, but the call was still temporarily unavailable, and no one answered the phone at work.  She tidied the room worriedly, collected the trash and threw it away.  But Wang Zhi never came back or called.  The sound of the door closing woke her up. She looked up from the dining table and saw her husband's tired and pale cheeks, his hair was messy, his body was soaked, and his clothes were full of stains.  "What's wrong?" She rushed forward.  She had been anxious all night. She originally wanted to vent her anger, but seeing her husband like this, she was only worried.  "I was robbed in a small alley, and my cash and mobile phone were taken away. I was hit on the head and fainted until I just woke up" Wang Zhi's voice was very tired.  Li Mi groped around him in a hurry: "You're not injured, are you? Is there anything wrong?" "It's okay, my head is just a little heavy I'll take a shower and it'll be fine." Wang Zhi dragged his heavy steps upstairs.  .  Li Mi looked back at the wall clock, it was already past three midnight.  The daughter didn¡¯t know what she was dreaming about, and suddenly she burst into tears again.
