Chapter 8 You lied to me

"Ah??" Chuhe was stunned for a moment, and the voice on the other end of the phone just now turned out to be...
At this time, his shoulder was lightly tapped, Chuhe turned around, and found a girl with double ponytails, a pleasant appearance, and a somewhat two-dimensional dress standing behind him.

"You are the anchor of 'Little Candy', right?" the girl asked expectantly.

Chuhe nodded, and replied: "Yes, you are cute?"

"Hahaha! Yes, I'm a cutie." The girl made a scissor hand gesture, and then formally introduced herself: "My name is Xu Tongshan. I am asking you for help this time because it is really urgent."

"Chuhe." After speaking, he wanted to extend his hand to show friendship.

But as soon as he raised his hand, two men in black suits walked out immediately. They all stood behind Xu Tongshan with serious faces, staring closely at Chuhe.

Seeing that there were two more people behind her, Xu Tongshan immediately said angrily: "Didn't I tell you not to come out?!"

"But miss, we need to protect your safety." One of the men first explained to Xu Tongshan softly, and then continued to look at Chuhe with cold eyes.

Xu Tongshan put her hands on her waist and asked: "I just want to ask, where is the danger? I tell you, if you scare away the people I invited, I will tell my grandfather, you bully me, see what you do manage?!"

The two men looked at each other, showing embarrassment, and then stepped back a few steps, not to make things difficult for Chuhe anymore.

Chuhe was a little embarrassed. He looked at the two men who had left and asked, "Who are those two men?...your brother?"

Xu Tongshan smiled and explained, "No, they are our family's bodyguards."

"You still take a bodyguard with you when you go out?" Chu He subconsciously felt that maybe the little girl in front of him was a big shot with unknown origins.

Xu Tongshan waved her hands away: "They are not protecting me. They are clearly worried that the copper pot will be lost."

"Let's go upstairs and talk about it." Chuhe felt that Xu Tongshan might not even explain the ins and outs of this matter clearly for a while.

On the second floor, they were led by the waiter to a table for two and sat down immediately.

Chuhe didn't have any taboos, so he chose to let Xu Tongshan order.

It may be because Xu Tongshan came here from Kyoto early in the morning, so Xu Tongshan was also a little hungry. She picked up the menu and ordered: "Let me see. Give us a shrimp dumpling, barbecued pork buns, steamed chicken with black bean sauce claw"

After ordering nearly half of the menu, Xu Tongshan put down the menu and asked the waiter to prepare it first.

Chu He took a sip of tea to calm down. This dish was enough for five people. He asked tentatively: "There is so much, we can't finish it, right? We can't waste it."

"It's okay, I can finish eating." Xu Tongshan nodded confidently.

"By the way, what exactly is the copper pot you mentioned?" Chu He began to get to the point.

Xu Tongshan just remembered today's business, so she immediately took out her mobile phone, opened the photo album, and clicked on a few photos to show Chuhe.

Chu He poked his head to look in the direction of the phone, and then saw a "scarred" copper pot.

Judging from the photos, this copper pot is of a normal size, and it looks like a cultural relic from the Warring States Period, Qin and Han Dynasties.

The entire copper pot has been severely damaged, with cracks radiating from the four corners of the incomplete belly of the copper pot to the surroundings.

Among them, a crack went directly to the edge of the mouth through the head of the shop.

In general, the entire body of the pot has been distorted and deformed.

But the careful Chuhe noticed that these cracks did not seem to be artificially caused.

Chuhe looked at Xu Tongshan with doubts: "You mean you broke this copper pot?"

Xu Tongshan hesitated, then nodded: "Yes, what's wrong?"

"wrong."

Chuhe shook his head: "The crack in this copper pot is obviously deformed by external pressure, and it wasn't broken by you falling from your hand or somewhere."

"I guess, this should be squeezed by the collapse of the tomb soil, and it was seriously deformed when it was unearthed?"

Xu Tongshan couldn't help but take a breath when she heard Chu He's guess.

She didn't expect Chuhe to be able to judge the origin of this cultural relic from a photo.

Xu Tongshan grinned: "Sorry, I lied to you."

After hearing this, Chuhe stood up and was about to leave.

"Hey, Chuhe, don't go, I didn't mean to lie to you." Xu Tongshan hurried forward to stop him.

"You asked me to do something and you have to hide something. I don't think I can help you." Chu He was worried that the other party might be a tomb robber. If that was the case, then he would become an accomplice.

Xu Tongshan explained again and again: "No, listen to me explain to you, I only need 3 minutes of yours, will 3 minutes be enough?"

Chuhe watched Xu Tongshan stretch out three fingers, and after thinking for a few seconds, he sat down.

He made a gesture of invitation and asked Xu Tongshan to explain what was going on.

"That's right. This is indeed one of a batch of bronze cultural relics unearthed from the tombs of the Warring States Period, including Tongdun and Tongding. These cultural relics have high research value because of their exquisite casting skills and exquisite decoration."

"However, after more than 2000 years of underground burial, the corrosion of the air, and the collapse of the tomb, many artifacts have been severely deformed."

"The artistic research value of this copper pot is very high. No matter how much my grandfather thinks, he can't think of a perfect restoration plan, so I thought of asking you to help."

"The reason why I lied to you was that I was worried that you would not help me, so I said that I accidentally broke the copper pot, so that I can win your sympathy."

When Xu Tongshan finished speaking, she looked up at Chuhe, waiting for his reaction.

It has to be said that when a girl shows a cute and pitiful look, the anger in Chuhe's heart will gradually disappear.

After thinking about what Xu Tongshan said, Chuhe asked, "Who is your grandfather?"

"Xu Jingchun, Director of the Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology in Kyoto." Xu Tongshan immediately followed Chu He's words to prove that she was not lying.

Chuhe was a little surprised when he heard the name, because he had heard of the reputation of Mr. Xu from his teacher Tian Guyi.

"Where is the copper kettle now?"

"It's right next to my car, it's parked downstairs." Xu Tongshan chuckled.

Chuhe originally thought that the copper pot was in the capital, and then Xu Tongshan came to Jinling in person to ask him to go to the capital to help restore it.

I didn't expect this girl to bring out such a valuable cultural relic privately.

"I think if your grandfather finds out, you will be punished very badly." Chuhe complained helplessly.

"Didn't I see grandpa suffering all the time, and then wanted to help him out?" Xu Tongshan said awkwardly, sticking out her tongue.

Chuhe then took a bite of a siu mai, "Eat it quickly, otherwise it is very likely that it will not be repaired within today."

When Xu Tongshan heard it, she nodded immediately: "I've been hungry for a long time. I didn't dare to eat breakfast when I saw the table was full. I was almost hungry. Emmm, this shrimp dumpling is delicious!"
