chapter 5 Mysteries in the atlas

When Philip Lu returned to the rental house, he found that Celeste Qin, who looked haggard, was still sitting in the living room with his hair down, so he could only bite the bullet and step forward to be scolded.

"Sister-in-law, I'm back."Philip Lu entered the room with her head drooped, her eyes fixed on her toes.

Celeste Qin lips trembled twice, wiped the dry corners of his eyes and said, "You haven't had breakfast yet, I'll help you make it." After saying that, he got up and walked to the kitchen.

"No, I've eaten outside."Philip Lu quickly took two steps forward and reached out to stop Celeste Qin. Seeing his sister-in-law's haggard look, he felt sour in his heart.

"Oh, then you wash your face and go to sleep. I'll go to work first."Celeste Qin expression was a little dull, and he slowly turned around, picked up his small bag and walked out the door.

There was no rebuke, nor many words, as if Philip Lu had never left, but it was not difficult to tell from her haggard face that she had clearly stayed up all night last night.

After Celeste Qin left, Philip Lu immediately took out a paper knife and a new book from the drawer. He carefully opened the old map and found a square piece of paper inside that looked like a stamp.

Before the computer was returned, Philip Lu hurriedly checked the paper calendar online. After searching for a long time, he finally found a stamp that was exactly the same as the toilet paper on a website called Hua Post.

The Big Dragon Stamp of the Qing Eternal Elephant is one of the mother stamps of the Big Dragon Stamp of the Qing Dynasty. There is a pot of evergreen on the elephant's back, which represents the cycle and endless life. Two bats are flying above, and a bunch of clouds are in the upper left corner. Bat and "Fu" are homophonic, together with the clouds, it means "the sky is filled with great blessings", and with the elephant, it becomes "the auspicious omen that the sky is filled with great blessings".

Philip Lu held his breath and quietly browsed various introductions about the Eternal Elephant. His heart almost jumped into his throat. Finally, when he saw the words "very precious, precious and incomparable" that appeared frequently, even his fingers could not help but tremble slightly. stand up.

After browsing the information for an hour, Philip Lu was able to confirm that the piece of paper bought for Eternal Elephant yuan in his hand was the Great Dragon Mother Ticket. It was also in good condition and was almost a brand new ticket. It was obtained from The news that this stamp was auctioned for nearly 600,000 Hong Kong dollars was what excited him the most.

Not to mention 600,000, even if it is folded in half, it would be 300,000, which is more than enough to solve the current embarrassing life problems. Xu Qing breathed a sigh of relief, took out a small plastic bag from the drawer, opened it, and carefully picked out the stamps with a razor blade. He went in, then unfolded the pages of the book and clamped the plastic bag, stood up and put the book into his bag.

Just after finishing all this, the PHS phone on the table rang. Philip Lu grabbed it and connected it. It turned out to be the man on the second floor who asked him to repair the computer. He responded casually, immediately closed the computer, unplugged the cord, and picked him up. He hurried downstairs.

We had just reached the second floor, and the resident surnamed Liu was already standing at the door, rubbing his hands and waiting. He was fat and short, wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses. His occupation was writing online novels and scripts, and his income was pretty good. , but the lack of a computer was like a bottleneck for him. He was so anxious that he was like an ant on a hot pot, so he started calling early in the morning to urge him.

Seeing Philip Lu coming over, the man surnamed Liu rushed forward to help take over the computer case and ran into the room.

Philip Lu couldn't help being stunned when he saw this guy's fat body was trembling but he was walking as fast as flying. He smiled, shook his head, and walked into the room while carrying the monitor.

Although Fatty Liu didn't know how to repair computers, he was very familiar with plugging in the cables and turning it on. When he heard a popping sound in the computer case, the display screen immediately responded. Fatty's face lit up with joy, and he praised repeatedly: "Brother, it worked all night long." I just adjusted my lover’s computer.”

Philip Lu was slightly startled, a few black lines appeared on his forehead, what about training a lover, where are these?

Fatty Liu pointed at the computer with a smile and said, "This is my lover. When something went wrong, you corrected it, didn't it teach me? Not to mention, even the fan noise has been reduced a lot."

Philip Lu suddenly realized it and said with a smile: "There was a layer of dust on the fan, so I cleaned it off with a brush."

Fatty Liu gave a thumbs up and said: "Jingye, you are much better than those who repair computers. It's twenty yuan. I'll come back to you if anything happens in the future." After saying that, he took out a twenty yuan note and stuffed it into Philip Lu hand. .

Philip Lu took the money and stuffed it into his pocket, pretending to be casual and asked: "Brother Liu, do you know if there is any stamp trading place in Jiangcheng City?"

Fatty Liu smiled slightly and said, "Brother, I also collect stamps."

Xu Qing nodded and said: "I used to be good at this and bought a few stamps, but now I want to make some cash with gloves."

In his opinion, even if he said that the stamp was worth a lot of money and could not be cashed out, it would be in vain. It was better to sell it cheaper. At least he would be able to pay for college and help his sister-in-law reduce the burden.

Fatty Liu was tinkering with the computer and said without looking back: "I know a rich second-generation guy. He usually likes to tinker with stamps and antiques, but he really doesn't like ordinary things like Golden Monkey Stamp., as long as the goods are good, money is not an issue.”

The implication is that if there is nothing good, it will never catch the eye of that buddy. Fatty Liu has a wide circle of friends. The rich second-generation buddy he mentioned is a well-known Shsnxi coal boss. They say that once people turn money into After numbers, I like to add a little bit of background and so on. As long as the goods are good, money is the bastard. These two men are typical of this type of people.

Philip Lu heart was beating wildly, but his face remained calm. He smiled and said: "To be honest with Brother Liu, my stamp is really worth much more than the Monkey Stamp. If your buddy is willing to pay for it, he will definitely have one." surprise."

"Oh?" Fatty Liu put down the mouse, turned around and looked at Xu Qing and said with a suspicious face: "Really, brother, don't make a fool of yourself, tell me what the name of that stamp is."

"The brand-new Big Dragon Stamp Eternal Elephant."Philip Lu spat out ten big characters calmly, and the fat on Liu Fatty's face suddenly shook. Although he had no research on stamps, the name of Big Dragon Stamp Anyone with a little knowledge knows this.

"Brother, are you sure it's the Big Dragon Stamp?" Two lights flashed in Fatty Liu's eyes, and he asked again in disbelief. When Philip Lu nodded, the guy immediately picked up his phone and pressed a series of numbers.

Dudu's cell phone was connected, and a rumbling voice came from the other end: "Damn, are you disturbing me so early in the morning?" The owner of the voice was obviously still struggling in bed, and he opened his mouth to complain.

Fatty Liu was so confident that he called into the phone: "I'm not looking for you, it's the brand new Big Dragon Stamp that are looking for you. Eternal Elephant."

"Fuck, I'm so full." Dudu cursed and immediately hung up the phone. Fatty Liu shook his head with a wry smile. He couldn't figure out why the rich second generation hung up the phone. Maybe it was because of the disturbance early in the morning. People deserve to be scolded in their dreams.

"Forget it, maybe he already has this stamp, so I'll go up first." Seeing Fatty Liu being bored, Philip Lu didn't want to stay here. He had to clean the corridor of the rental house later. As for Liu He wouldn't take anything the fat man said about the rich second generation to heart.
