Fang Feiyang and Zhang Yaoshan walked out of it with unfinished thoughts. All they could think about was the powerful modified Santana. They didn't care about whether the polo tires were properly installed and whether the quality was acceptable.

"Boss, you're a master! Did you modify that Santana in the yard?"

At this time, Zhang Guoshan handed the bearded man another cigarette, with a look of respect and admiration.

"Haha, didn't your friend ask you just now? Why? You don't believe I changed it?"

The bearded owner of this repair shop is usually a generous person and likes to make friends. After changing the tire for a while, he and Fang Feiyang got to know each other better. He took the cigarette from Zhang Guoshan and asked with a smile on his face.

road.

"Believe it!!...How could you not believe it? What I mean as a brother is that this car is simply the best of dreams. I wonder if we will have a chance to test drive it after it is stable."

Fang Feiyang asked the bearded boss politely.

A man will dream of driving a powerful luxury car on the road track all his life. Although this car looks like a Volkswagen Santana, his intuition tells him that this Santana has been complicated to modify.

Assembling today's high-performance twin-turbo engines is a whimsical thing in itself, and it requires people with extraordinary courage to complete it. Fang Feiyang was impressed when he thought about how many technical difficulties were involved. He didn't know what the bearded man in front of him was.

How did you do it.

The slightly wrinkled face of the bearded boss was full of smiles at this moment. This Santana, which is being remodeled, is his most proud work. Although it is not yet completed, the core power part has been completely refitted. The bearded boss has been using it for decades.

He has helped many people modify their cars, including well-known sports cars with excellent performance and expensive prices, and some of these people are his friends. Every time these friends come to Big Beard's place to modify their cars, Big Beard will happily ask them to review their cars.

There is a Santana in the yard. Unfortunately, no one is interested in Santana. Some friends even think he is just messing around.

Two days ago, a good friend of mine hit him at a social gathering, thinking that Santana would always be Santana, and even if it was equipped with a BMW engine, it would not transform into a BMW.

Unexpectedly, Big Beard met two young men who came to repair tires today, and they turned out to be his close friends. As the saying goes, good friends are easy to find, but close friends are hard to find. Fang Feiyang and the two kept praising this Santana, which was not favored by others.

, which made him a little embarrassed.

"No problem, the house in this area is going to be demolished recently, and there is usually not much business. I will hurry up these two days, and I will probably be able to finish it the day after tomorrow. Then you two can come over and open it as you like."

Big Beard saw that the two little brothers really liked the car he had modified, and there was an unusual desire in their expressions and eyes, so he agreed to Fang Feiyang's request.

Fang Feiyang and Zhang Guoshan chatted with the boss for a while. It was already six o'clock in the evening, and the sky was getting dark. They had already spent a lot of time changing tires here. Although they arrived in Fengcheng, a prefecture-level city, they were still far away from home.

There was still some distance, and it was quite far for the two families to get together, so Zhang Guoshan had to take Fang Feiyang home first.

"It's getting late, we have to rush on our way, otherwise we'll be late when we get home. By the way, boss, do you have a place to wash your hands here? Why is the outside of the tire so dirty? Look at my dirty hands.

, find a place to wash up." Zhang Paoshan rubbed his dirty hands and asked.

"Wash your hands. You have to take two steps forward. This place is about to be demolished. All the tap water was stopped a month ago. There is a well in front of Lao Zhang's house. Go get some water and wash yourself. Be careful when walking.

The kitchen of Lao Zhang's house was just knocked down yesterday, and there were a lot of broken bricks."

The bearded boss pointed to the front row of houses. There was an old house with red tiles and blue walls. Judging from the structure of the house, it must be old.

"Let's go, the well water is cool. Wash your hands first and then your face." Fang Feiyang thought that he hadn't used well water in many years and wanted to feel the coolness of the well water.

The two of them walked forward about a hundred meters and arrived at the old Zhang's house that the bearded man had mentioned. The walls of the west wing and the yard along the roadside had been demolished first, and the main room and the east wing were still swaying inside.

It stood steadily and persisted. There were large earthen blue bricks everywhere around the courtyard, and the dismantled beams were piled up on top of the green bricks.

Fang Feiyang came to an ancient well in the southwest corner of the original yard and fetched a bucket of well water. Fang Feiyang touched the water with his finger and felt the coolness in his hand, which was very comfortable.

"I haven't used well water for a long time. Did you know, backer? In the past, having a well in the countryside was equivalent to a refrigerator. All the meals that could be eaten overnight were hung in buckets in the well to ensure that the second

It’s still fresh and fresh.”

Fang Feiyang slowly poured out the water in the bucket and washed Zhang Kuoshan's hands, while also teaching him a lesson.

"Damn it, it doesn't matter what you say, my brother is also from the countryside, and there is a well in his hometown. When I was a child, I used the well water to bathe every day! Now I just want to use this well water to take a shower, and that will be enough...

..Hey, Feiyang, look over there, there are pots and pots, you can bring me a pot first, and let me soak my feet first."

Fang Feiyang turned around and found that in the open space in front of him, there were many kinds of old daily necessities piled up. Maybe because the house was to be demolished and moved, many families threw away things they thought they would not use.

Fang Feiyang took a closer look and saw that there were basins with almost lost enamel, a kettle without a lid, a washbasin stand that was common in the 1970s, a mess of old clothes, sheets, mosquito nets...even some old appliances were thrown away.

.

Just when Fang Feiyang was about to bring an enamel basin for Zhang Guoshan to wash his feet, an inconspicuous, dark, large clay pot next to him caught Fang Feiyang's attention.

When Fang Feiyang first saw it, he felt dull for a moment, his heart palpitated uncontrollably, and a strange and inexplicable feeling surged into his heart.

This clay pot is pitch black all over, with no trace of decoration visible. It has a bowl-sized mouth and a round waist. At first glance, it looks like a black jar commonly used in rural areas for pickling pickles and eggs.

Fang Feiyang stretched out his hand and touched the mouth of the clay pot. The sore and numb feeling that had not appeared for a long time rushed into the back of his head along his arm, and the magical image appeared in his mind again.

With a long-lost sense of reunion, two scenes appeared in Fang Feiyang's mind. One was a man wearing Qing Dynasty clothes, who looked like a eunuch, carefully filling a large jar with spring water with a spoon, and the image

The large lidded jar in the picture has an overall bluish color and is decorated with text. Fang Feiyang can vaguely see the words "The No. 1 Spring in the World".

The second image shows a man in simple clothes with messy hair. He is looking panicked. He uses a brush to paint a thick layer of black paint around the can with a large cyan lid, and also paints the bottom of the can.

Thick black paint covered up the original signature.

"Eh?!! What does this mean? Could it be that the black clay pot in my hand has been disguised and protected by someone?"

Fang Feiyang once heard his master Song Longshan say that in that turbulent era, many older generation collectors used special techniques to change the appearance of some antique treasures, covering up their original appearance and making them look inconspicuous.

They are no different from ordinary household goods. The purpose is to protect these treasures from damage.

Paint alteration is one of the most common concealment methods. By applying black paint, the original exquisite patterns and pastels are put on a black coat. The collectors who disguise it hope to have it in the future.

When the opportunity arises, the black paint will be removed and it will shine again. Perhaps due to various unstable factors, things and people have changed. More than half a century has passed, and the things have been preserved, but no one knows what they originally looked like.

.

"Ah... I didn't expect that such an antique treasure would be thrown away on the roadside like garbage. If we hadn't accidentally passed by here, this thing would have been damaged during the subsequent renovation construction. It seems that

There is God's will in the dark..."
