In the forest at the end of the valley, there was a dull thunder, "boom, boom, boom", it was the noon of the sunny day, the sky was like washing, there were no dark clouds, why did it suddenly thunder? Everyone's hearts sank, and they finally crawled out of the ancient tomb, but what was the blame?
If you look closely with your ears, it doesn't look like thunder, but the sound is getting closer, and it seems to be some huge beast, running towards the valley from afar, with heavy footsteps, and the body constantly hitting the trees while running, at first glance it sounds like a continuous thunder, mixed with a few barking dogs.
I heard the dogs barking, and only then did I realize that only five great hounds were lying on the ground, and the other three mastiffs were nowhere to be seen. I was so haggard just now that I didn't bother to look at the hounds, maybe we didn't return for a long time, and the hounds spontaneously took turns to hunt for food. What beast did the giant mastiff drive away and make such a big move?
Yingzi listened carefully for a while, smiled and said It's okay, it's chasing wild boars, let's go to the hillside to see the excitement, and we can eat the whole wild boar in a while.
Halfway up the hill, we saw that the trees in the forest were broken one by one, and the hounds could not stop lying on their stomachs, and they fanned out without a word, trying to block the path of the wild boars in the valley.
I saw a red pine break at the mouth of the valley, and a large wild boar came out from behind the tree, and if it weren't for the fact that this wild boar did not have a long snout, I would almost think it was a half-sized elephant. It weighed thousands of pounds, its mane was black and long, and the fangs on both sides of its mouth were curved upward, like two daggers, and these tusks were both a symbol of pride and a sign that it was the king of wild boars in the forest.
Behind the big wild boar, the three giant mastiffs chased unhurriedly, neither pounced and bitten, nor too far away, and ran into the savage ditch one after the other.
The skin on the boar's body is comparable to the rhinoceros skin, it is idle in the forest, so it rubs its fat body on the pine tree, one is to relieve itching, and the other is to stain the pine resin on the body, not afraid of mosquito bites. In summer, the mosquitoes in the old forests in the mountains are as big as small birds, there is a saying in the mountains: three mosquitoes a dish, this is not an exaggeration at all, even the old cattle can not stand the bite of the big mosquitoes in the mountains, only the wild boar is not afraid of mosquitoes, its skin is a layer of iron armor, no one can bite it. The two fangs and huge weight are the magic weapons of wild boars rampaging in the forest, which are absolutely offensive and defensive, and the tigers, bears, and leopards in the mountains have no way to deal with it.
However, the giant mastiffs domesticated by hunters have special tricks to deal with wild boars. The mastiff is the size of a calf, but it is still small compared to the large boar. The three mastiffs wanted to drive the boar deep into the valley and then deal with it, because the forest was full of big trees, and the boar was like a tank.
The deciduous layer in the savage valley is very deep, the big wild boar has not run halfway, because its weight is too large, all the limbs are sunk into the fallen leaves, three big mastiffs surround it, bite a bite in the east and bite in the west, consume the physical strength and sharpness of the wild boar, and the other five big hunting dogs are also wrapped in the periphery, they dare not intervene in the mastiff dog to compete for merit, only to act as a small minions on the side to shout and cheer.
The big boar was so angry and anxious that he struggled stupidly among the fallen leaves, and with all his strength he leaped upward, pulling out his limbs and jumping upwards.
The giant mastiff waited for this moment, and at the same time that the wild boar jumped to the highest point, the largest of the three giant mastiffs also jumped up and crashed into the big wild boar like a cannonball, and the force and angle of this collision were just right, knocking the wild boar over, belly up, and landing on the deep and soft dead branches.
The other two mastiffs waiting for the opportunity, did not give the wild boar a chance to turn over, pounced on the belly of the big boar and bit hard, the belly and asshole are the only cover door of the wild boar, it will be over as soon as it is exposed to the enemy, not to mention the fierce and fast mastiff like a lion, in less than three or four seconds, the intestines of the wild boar, stomach, heart, liver and lungs have been pulled out.
When the three of us saw that the wild boar was finished, we walked slowly down the hillside, and the fat man and I saw that the three giant mastiffs were so tacit, and that they knew how to use the terrain to use tactics, and we couldn't help but want to pat the mastiffs on the head as a reward, and beckoned them with a hippie smile.
Unexpectedly, the mastiffs and hunting dogs bypassed the two of us and gathered around Yingzi, Yingzi took out the jerky and fed them, and the big dogs were happy to see their owners, and they all wagged their tails to please.
Leaving out in the cold, I looked at the fat man, and I shook my head and sighed, "Damn, our hot faces are stuck to the dog's cool butts." "
The fat man snorted angrily and said, "Old Hu, do you remember what Mr. Lu Xun said?" He said, "Bah, the dogs of these forces." Dogs are such virtuous things, dogs look down on people, dogs don't recognize people with dog faces, fuck, we don't have the same knowledge as them. "
The fat man went back to the tent and got a knife, a pickaxe, and a shotgun back to the valley, and he helped Yingzi cut the wild boar, and I took two big dogs with a shotgun on my back, and went down the hillside to find a place to bury the boy and the girl, so that they would not trouble us again.
Yingzi said, "Brother Hu, are you hungry?" Eat two whole bites before leaving. "
I said, "No, I'm not afraid of being late for a good meal, I'll be hungry for the future, don't wait until the evening to bury the dead, it's a bit crazy." "
I had two big dogs drag the corpse of a child wrapped in a yellow tweed army coat and dig a deep pit in the mountain pass facing the prairie. My sapper shovel was lost in the tomb, and it was very laborious to dig with a pickaxe, and the sun was in the west, and I had only dug more than a meter deep, and I was already tired and sweaty, and my stomach was constantly drumming.
I looked at this pit more than a meter deep and thought to myself that this is almost it, children, it is useless to bury it so deep, their bodies are filled with mercury, and they don't have to worry about insects eating rats.
So I took the two children out of the military coat package, wrapped them neatly with two military coats, and put them side by side in the pit, and folded my hands and bowed twice: "Two ancient children, it is a pity that you do not live in a new society full of sunshine in civilization and democracy, and you have not enjoyed the care of society, but this is all fate, and you don't have to be too persistent. There will be a fate, there is no need to forget it, everything is difficult to calculate, it is all in fate. After a person dies, when he is in the ground for peace, and when he is restless in the ground, it is a zombie. Our conditions are limited, there is no coffin to place you, and there is no incense to worship you, I will definitely burn more paper money for you when I go back, I hope you will go to the Western Pure Land of Bliss as soon as possible, don't come to pester us again, our work is also very busy, this is the only thing we can do for you, and the insatiable and dissatisfied are not good children. "
After that, he pushed the soil into the pit with the two big dogs, and buried the two hard-working boys and girls with a few handfuls of soil.
It was not too early, and Yingzi beckoned me back from a distance, and then returned to the hillside where we camped with the hounds. The fat man brought a big stone and blocked the ventilation hole where the pig-faced bat flew out to sneak up on the horses, the wild boar meat roasted on the fire, and a pot of soup boiled by the pig's water and mushroom fungus, the rosin mixed with the smell of meat hit the face, I couldn't wait to rush over and cut off a piece of meat with a knife and stuff it into my mouth.
After eating, we drank the tea bricks boiled by Yingzi, and discussed how to go back, the horses that lost the luggage, it was really not so easy to return to the Ganggang camp, the pots and tents could not be moved, and the animal skins we hunted along the way could not be carried, so the loss was too great. In the end, Yingzi thought of a way, let the two dogs go back to deliver the letter, and asked the people in the tunzi to organize a horse team to dig the fortress of the Kwantung Army, so many good things here are not all blind if they don't move out, and the dogs are the best guides, they can lead the way for the people in the tunzi, let's find a safe place to live near here first, and then go back when everyone comes, and move enough good things together.
The fat man didn't pay much attention to these things, and he took out the two pieces of jade to watch, and I scolded: "You're really fucking useless, and you can't wait for dawn." Don't carry these two pieces of jade, look at them more than a hundred times a day, and you're not afraid to show them gone, and let me keep them in the future. "
The fat man held the jade bi in front of my eyes, with a look of surprise on his face: "Old Hu, is this the piece we made out of the ancient tomb?" You see, is there something wrong? "
Ever since I got this pair of jade in the tomb, I have never had time to look at it in the future. The fat man handed it to me in a fuss: "Why has this color changed again?" I reached out and took the two pieces of jade and looked at them carefully.
Both pieces of jade are carved into the shape of moths, with full eyebrows, vivid, and there are some strange animal ornaments on the body, this animal should not be real, fat, the body is a little like a very thin lion, and like a dragon without scales, as well as a few claws and a big curly tail, in short, this pattern is very weird, maybe not an animal, it is a cloud or wave or something like that.
The craftsmanship of the body pattern is not as delicate as the carving on the modeling, only a few strokes are outlined, but although it is rough, there is also a simple and expressive charm. Sometimes simplicity is also a beauty.
It's really fucking weird, I remember when I first took it out of the coffin of the ancient tomb, this pair of jade was dark green, but when I looked inside the Kwantung Army fortress, it was pale yellow. At this time, the color is dark yellow and dark yellow, and the color changes several times in a day, we don't know what's going on, is there a kind of color-changing jade in this world? We don't know anything about antiques, so it seems that we can only go back to Beijing to find a big gold tooth to give us a long look.
Speaking of this inverted action, it is really not smooth, not to mention the hard work all the way, first of all, the ancient tomb in the upper cave of the savage ditch is a general's tomb, I didn't expect that there are few burial goods inside, the only thing that may be worth a little money, that is, this pair of jade, in order to take it out, almost put the lives of three people into it, it is really difficult to say that the mountains and seas are not enough, and it is difficult to see the danger of walking on the ice in the abyss. If the results weren't worth much, I'd have to find a place to hit my head and die.
This incident taught me a lesson, the ancient tombs of the nobles do not necessarily have a large number of valuable funerary goods, we must understand more about the historical background and cultural background of the ancient tombs, and we must also master as much knowledge as possible about antique appreciation, so as to be targeted, and the thieves will not go empty.
The fat man seemed to be very confident, and bet with me that this pair of jade bi can be worth at least thirty or twenty thousand, and it is still a national treasure, so we will not sell it to Hong Kong businessmen and Taiwan compatriots, and we will directly dedicate it to the Palace Museum, and the government will be happy, and reward us with 108,000 yuan is not like playing, and then give a house in Beijing, and let us wear a big red flower to go to all parts of the country to make a report and speech, and when the time comes, we will talk about whatever sensationalism is over, and as soon as the talk is finished, those female college students who listened to the tears in the audience ran up to offer flowers and love letters.
I said you don't dream, and let you participate in the report meeting of heroic deeds? It's good not to send us two to squat in the kiln. But if it is really as the fat man said, can be exchanged for 30,000 or 50,000 yuan, then it is already an unexpected joy, we are running around selling audio tapes, a year, at most, three or four thousand yuan, catch up with the bad years of business, except for the cost of food, drink and accommodation, basically no money.
I haven't closed my eyes for two days, and after eating and drinking, I talked a few words with the fat Yingzi, and fell asleep, anyway, there are hunting dogs to keep watch, and I don't have to worry about the attack of wild beasts. In my dreams I was back on the battlefield filled with gunpowder, and the sky above the position was full of the faces of my brothers, each of them was young, they only had faces and no bodies, and these faces were bleeding constantly, and they were slowly flying towards the sky, and I cried and shouted on the ground to catch them, but my hands and feet did not obey the call, and I could not move at all...
Nothing happened at night, and the big bats in the ground were nowhere to go, and there was no trace of them around, probably frightened by the sound of gunfire, and went to find a new cave to make a home.
I slept until noon before waking up, Yingzi had already sent three hunting dogs back to deliver the letter, each dog had a small leather bag tied around its neck, and inside was a note written by the fat man, which stated that the people in the tunzi could bring more people and horses, and it was best to bring some explosives to come to the savage ditch to dig the foreign fall of the Kwantung Army.
At noon, we ate some wild boar, took the hounds to carry all the baggage of the tent near the entrance of the valley, found a big rocky leeward, and set up a tent underneath, which is located at the junction of the forest and the grassland, and when the people in the tunzi come, it will be easy to find us.
Then Yingzi took the dog to the forest to pick wild vegetables, I dug some earth and stones to bury a stove, put the pot on the boiling water, we brought some flour, and the fat man made a meal of pork stuffed dumplings to celebrate our first victory. Although there was no danger this time, but anyway, at least the three of them had no accidents, and there were some gains, especially the Kwantung Army fortress had a lot of supplies, which was of great help to the lives of the villagers in Tunzili, and it was worth drinking two glasses for it.
Just like that, I hunted every day, and after more than ten days in a row, I felt that I was about to become a hunter in the mountains, and the people in the tunzi finally came, a total of more than 40 people, led by the party secretary and the accountant. Because the men have gone to Niuxin Mountain to work, this time almost all the women and girls and half-grown children, there are not many horses in the tunzi, no more than ten in total, they heard that there are a large number of foreign landing, afraid that there are not enough horses, and they pulled the mules and donkeys together, plus the hunting dogs brought by each family, and entered the black wind in a noisy manner.
Everyone immediately wanted to do it, I said that everyone has a lot of hard work along the way, so let's take a day off first, and wait until tomorrow when we have enough strength to do it. In addition, we can't be blind, I have been an engineer, so I recommended myself and assigned a task to everyone, we must use operations research, make plans, act step by step, and don't be blind like a rabble.
The crowd was chaotic, excited, and funny, and they talked about it one after another, drowning out the sound of my speech, and no one heard it clearly, and finally the branch secretary had to come forward and shout: "Don't make any noise, don't make any noise, all listen to my eldest nephew, what he says is what I say, that is, what I say, that is, what I say." We can pick up the little devil's Yangluo'er this time, thanks to my two eldest nephews and Yingzi, this girl, what do they say, let's do it. "
I said it again, and asked everyone to set up tents and pots, eat and rest, and then discuss with the secretary and accountant, there is no explosives, and it is not too difficult to dig up the underground fortress, you can start from the general's tomb, which is very close to the passage of the fortress, and it will take five people less than half a day to dig through the collapsed tomb. But there may be wild beasts in the fortress, everyone should be prepared for this, animals that live underground are afraid of fire, so light more torches. What needs to be particularly emphasized is that after entering, no one can act privately, and no one can take the arms inside, only the materials needed for daily life, such as military coats, Japanese shoes, blankets, generators, cables and wires, etc., we can move as much as we want, and then bury the fortress after moving, and we can't reveal the news.
The branch secretary patted his chest and promised: "Big nephew, you can rest assured, as long as these people take things, the mouth will be strict." Besides, our tunzi is too secluded, and there can't be an outsider all year round, so this time we'll make a lot of money in a muffled voice. "
When I got up the next morning, I divided the forty sisters-in-law and the girls into four groups, the first group was the youngest, and they were led by Yingzi to hunt in the mountains; The other group, on the contrary, were all the oldest, and they were led by the accountant to stay in the camp and cook for the group; The fat man and I each took a group of young and strong people, and took turns to dig the burned general's tomb, and the branch secretary commanded the overall situation.
The people in the tunzi brought a large number of tools, shovels, pickaxes and shovels, and even some people brought a few hoes that were completely unusable, and I divided my group of ten people into two groups, one group of excavated collapsed soil glazed tiles, and the other group was responsible for carrying the excavated soil and stones, and the project progressed in an orderly manner.
A busy, it doesn't end until the evening.
At dawn the next day, we lit the pine oil torches, and more than 20 people, led a few mules and horses, and entered the underground fortress through the passage that had been extended from the tomb wall of the general's tomb, and at the iron gate of Ganaku, the traces of the fight were vividly visible, the ancient corpse had been torn to pieces, and the corpses of several steppe otters, the blood stains had dried into a dark red, and it was still a little creepy to see these things again.
There will be no more danger here, and there are a lot of torches, torches with pine oil, which burn for a long time, and are not easy to be blown out by the wind, even if there are any fierce animals in the underground fortress, they dare not come out to invade when they see the fire.
Seeing that there were so many supplies for the Japanese army, which far exceeded his most optimistic estimate before, the branch secretary was overjoyed, and hurriedly beckoned everyone to pick up the ocean, packed bundles of military coats, shoes, rainproof cloths, dry batteries, and field lunch boxes onto the back of mules and horses, and carried them out one after another.
The tunzi in the deep mountains, the most lacking is these industrial products, everyone is competing for the first place, all brave, shouting trumpets, greeting each other, as if returning to the era of the Great Leap Forward.
Yingzi and I led a few more people to search on the other side of the passage, and from the map, there was a larger warehouse over there, which was not difficult to find.
The door of the warehouse was closed very tightly, and it took a horse to open it, and after entering, everyone was dumbfounded, row by row, full of artillery, like mountain artillery, field artillery, 91-type howitzers, 60 guns, large and small mortars, and mountains of ammunition boxes, and there was no end in sight.
It seems that these cannons were used in preparation for the war of movement. The entire army of the Japanese army can be divided into six parts. The Native Army, that is, the troops stationed on the four islands of Japan, including the then colony of Taiwan and Korea, were called the Native Army; In addition, there are Chinese dispatch troops, that is, troops that invade the Chinese mainland; There is also the Southern Army, that is, the troops that fight in Southeast Asia, Australia, etc.; Together with the Navy and Air Force, as well as the Kwantung Army stationed in Manchuria, there are a total of these six military regions.
Among them, the Kwantung Army was the most favored by the emperor and the base camp, known as the elite of the elite, the Japanese regarded China's three eastern provinces as more precious than their own land, with great strategic depth, abundant materials, and incalculable forests and minerals, and they could also attack the Kannai from top to bottom at any time. As early as a long time ago, there was a famous Tanaka song in Japan, which showed that he coveted the northeast of China, until World War II, and then Tanaka's idea emerged, even if he gave up his homeland, he would not give up Manchuria, which shows the greed of the Japanese for Manchuria.
Therefore, the materials and equipment of the Kwantung Army are second to none among all units of the Japanese Army, and only the combined fleet of the Navy can compare with it. However, these militaristic ambitions have long been laughed at in front of the wheel of history. We don't have to be polite with the Kwantung Army, they didn't have to be polite to us at the beginning, everyone stretched their arms and rolled up their sleeves, and shouted that they would all move back.
I told them to be careful not to get too close to the ammunition box, because if they detonated, no one would have to run away and be buried alive here. Behind the countless cannons, more large wooden boxes were printed with the red steel stamp of Kashima Heavy Industries, and when you pry them open, they are all small generators, but they can't be lifted, this thing is too heavy for the horses to move. I can only slowly disassemble and scatter it, and take it back separately.
The materials in the underground fortress have been moved for a whole day, and it has just come out less than a few tenths, and the accountant is busy counting points, this time it can be sent, and we can sell it for money if we can't use it up ourselves, this is older, it can be worth the old money.
At dinner, the branch secretary found me, he summed it up, so move down is not finished, the horse team can not carry so many things, now it is almost the late autumn season, if you leave a team of people to guard, the other team back to Tunzi to send things, the mountain road is difficult to travel, so it takes more than half a month to go back and forth, and the mountain will be closed after two heavy snowfalls, it is better for us to bury the entrance of the fortress first, everyone will go back to Tunzi, and wait for the spring of the next year, and then come back and continue to rectify.
I thought about it, it has been more than a month since I came out of Beijing, and it is not a problem to stay in the mountains all the time, and the objects we poured out of the bucket have to go back to the big gold tooth to make a move, so I agreed with the opinion of the branch secretary. It was impossible for me and the fat man to come with them again, so I entrusted the secretary to open the spring black wind next year and burn some paper money for the martyred boy and woman. In addition, remember to remember that the arms in the underground fortress should not be moved, it is not something that we ordinary people can use.
In order to be able to set off the next day, almost all of them did not sleep all night, decorating things overnight, and when they were all busy, the sun also rose, but fortunately, on this night, although it was busy, nothing happened.
I didn't say anything all the way, and when I returned to Ganggang Yingzi, it was like the New Year in Tunzi, and the family called back the men who were working in Niuxin Mountain, and every family was stewed pork noodles.
On the second day, the fat man and I didn't want to stay any longer, so we said goodbye to everyone and returned to Beijing with the fat man after a long absence.
We got off the train, didn't go anywhere, went straight to Panjiayuan, the big gold tooth is still the same as before, looking vulgar, a philistine, not showing the mountains and water, in fact, he is a very qualified and experienced expert in Panjiayuan.
When the big golden tooth saw the two of us coming, he quickly put down the business at hand and asked a long question: "Second master, why did you come back after going for so many days?" It's almost killing me. "
The fat man wanted to take out the two pieces of jade to show him how much it was worth, this matter has been bothering the two of us, and today I can finally know the truth.
The big golden tooth hurriedly glanced at us, signaling not to let us take out the things: "Let's go to Dongsi, the last time the mutton shabu restaurant was good, very quiet, this Pan Jiayuan is mixed, there are many people, and there are many eyes, but it is not where the speech is, and the Ming weapon cannot be exposed here." Wait a moment, and I'll take care of the business at hand, and we'll leave. "
The "Ming vessel" mentioned by the big gold tooth is jargon, which has been mentioned earlier, and is a synonym for the underworld, this "Ming" is not an antique of the specified generation, but specifically refers to the funeral goods, just like the words "antique" and "antique", which are all to cover people's ears and eyes, and it is good to say, in fact, the origin of these words is related to the "inverted bucket", and then it was called "Gu Dong" and "Bone Play", all of which refer to the objects left by the previous dynasty.
As he spoke, Da Jinya poured out a "refrigerator" from the early Qing Dynasty and a small Yongzheng official kiln Jihong teapot, and the buyer was a foreigner with a Chinese translator. In fact, this kind of thing is nothing, it's all a petty thing, we didn't see how much he sold it, but I estimate that this foreigner was slaughtered.
After finishing the business, the big gold tooth counted the bills: "I won't open for three days, but today is enough for me to eat for three years." These stupid foreigners, buying two fakes and looking like a treasure, go back and cry. After counting the money, he turned his head and said to me again: "In the year of Gengzi, the Eight-Nation Alliance entered Beijing, but there were no less good things from us, and the master is also considered to be doing the right thing for heaven today, Hu Ye, you say that this is such a reason, right?" "
The fat man and I begged him to do things now, of course, I had to follow him, and hurriedly raised his thumb and praised: "In ancient times, Huo Yuanjia defeated the Russian Hercules in a competition, and now there is Jin Ye who skillfully takes the ill-gotten wealth of foreigners and wins glory for the country, it is really, high, it is really high!" "
Packing up our things, we went to the small restaurant when we first met again, the big gold tooth may have made a lot of money today, plus the two of us were a little fluttering, and while drinking, there were two sentences of Peking Opera: "Good foreign slave, I will beat you with a steel whip, wow, yes, yes." "
I looked around, it was not the time to eat, the restaurant was deserted, only this table in our corner, the waiter was lying on the counter and dozing, and there were two guys in charge of ordering hot pot, squatting in front of the door, and no one paid attention to the three of us.
So I asked the fat man to take out the jade bi, give the big gold tooth long eyes, and by the way, I said something important about the general process of this trip to the Northeast. The big gold tooth looked at it very carefully, and from time to time he brought it to his nose to smell it, and licked it with the tip of his tongue, and asked us some details about the ancient tomb.
The big gold tooth said: "This antiquity identification, I know a little about fur, it is the ancestral craftsmanship of the family, and today I will show the ugliness to the two masters." This thing is coming, just like the pulse of traditional Chinese medicine, and it is also expected to be asked, especially the Ming vessel, because the Ming ware is different from the general antiquities, the family heirloom collection, often people play and touch, after a long time, the surface of the object is shiny. The Ming utensils are poured out of the bucket, and have been buried in the ancient tomb, and this ancient tomb also has a new bucket, an old bucket, a water bucket, a dirty bucket, and Chen Douzhi. The first is to look at the workmanship, shape and color of this style. The second is smelling, which is a crucial link in the identification of Ming utensils, there are artificial fakes in the south, and the fakes are soaked in the feces and urine pits to make them old, but the color is old, and the taste is different, and the smell is much more smelly than the dead man's fart plug (the ancient jade stuffed in the anus of the ancient corpse to prevent the corpse from leaking and causing the corpse to rot), and the appearance is old, but this smell can be smelled, and the nose of the connoisseur cannot be hidden. The person who poured the bucket will naturally explain which bucket it poured out one by one, and I can judge whether what he said is true or false, whether there are any flaws, and this can also judge the authenticity and value of the object from one side. In the end, it is to feel it with your hands, this is the realm that can only be understood and not spoken, there are countless antiques from my hands, my hands, and the heart is connected, the real antiques, is the baby, it is no matter how big or small, with a hand to touch a pinch, you can feel the weight, this weight does not refer to the actual weight of the object, the antiquities themselves have spirituality, there is also a sense of heaviness accumulated for a hundred years and thousands of years, the fake is made no matter how similar, this feeling can not be made. "
The fat man said: "My lord, you said so much, I didn't understand a word, tell me quickly, how much are our two bright weapons worth?" "
The big golden tooth laughed: "The fat man is in a hurry, I was instigated just now, and I am also a good intention, I hope you two can learn more about antique appraisal in the future." The burial goods in the ancient tombs, which are not hundreds or thousands, if you don't understand some knowledge in this area, it will be difficult to start in the future, right? I'm going to talk about these two pieces now, I can't name them, let's give them a name, in terms of appearance, we can call it: moth body cantis double 劙 (1) Bi. As for its value...
"Antiques, there is no fixed price, unlike sugar, briquettes, how much a pound is a pound, the value of antique toys is very arbitrary, as long as there is a buyer, the buyer recognizes this thing, it is valuable. Otherwise, no matter how good the thing is, no one will buy it, there is no market, and it will be worthless.
"These two pieces, I will give a reserve price, in terms of their own value, they are worth between forty and fifty thousand yuan in China, of course, they must be much higher than this value overseas, but we are now in this kind of market in China. When we sell, there is a suitable buyer, and we can also offer a higher price, which is difficult to say, it depends on the situation at the time. "
The big gold tooth said that he used to have a familiar colleague, and he was also doing business in Panjiayuan, and the things that were poured were all tile, arrowheads, old money, stamps, pen and ink, statues, snuff bottles and other gadgets, and then this buddy didn't practice this piece anymore, and he went to Xinjiang to pour out the corpse, and now he has made a fortune.
The fat man said strangely: "Fuck, isn't that dried corpse a zongzi?" Is that still worth the money? "
The big gold tooth said: "No, in our eyes, it is the dried corpse of zongzi, but when it goes abroad, it becomes a treasure, and the transaction price in Beijing is 20,000 before the Ming Dynasty, and it is worth 100,000 ——— beauties when you go abroad." You think, don't foreigners just like to watch these weird things? In the eyes of foreigners, our ancient oriental country is full of mystery, for example, in the New York Museum of Natural History, there is an advertisement, and the mysterious oriental beauty mummy is exhibited today, can this not be a sensation? This dry corpse fever is caused by the corpse of a Loulan woman unearthed from the Loulan Xiaohe tomb group last year. Even in our country, if you look for a place to exhibit and exhibit, you have to queue up to visit, which is called a business opportunity. "
After listening to this, the fat man and I suddenly realized, nodded again and again, it turned out that there are so many Taos here, it is really not clear, the lights are not clear, and I know that these two pieces of jade are worth about 50,000 yuan, and I feel satisfied. After all, it was not in vain.
I asked again: "Master Jin, what do you say is our Ming Weapon, what is it called?" Why is it so tongue-twisting? "
Big Golden Tooth filled me with a glass of beer: "Don't worry, we have time today, listen to me slowly, this is called a moth body crest." There is such a rule in our antique shop, if there is no official name, a thing will be named according to its characteristics.
Just like the famous national treasure cultural relics Zeng Hou Yi chime, this instrument was definitely not called this name before, but what it is called, in our modern times, it is difficult to verify, so the archaeological ones put such a name on it according to the unearthed tombs and the types of musical instruments.
"This moth has a double pattern on its body, and the name has already expressed its characteristics. Moth body, its shape is like a pair of moths, this is poured out of the tomb of a general of the Jin Kingdom, this moth in ancient times, is a symbol of a sacrifice of warriors, isn't there such a sentence, moths to the fire, there is no return, knowing that it is death, still generous and calm into the fire.
"Of course, we all know now that this is because the moth can't see, and it pounces when it sees the light, but the ancient people didn't think so, they highly respected the spirit of this big moth, and made some accessories with the shape of the moth, and it was an honor to wear it for people who had made military achievements.
"If you look at the pattern on the top, there is also a name, which is the 'claw pattern', which looks like the head of a lion and the body of a tiger, but it is not. The cockroach is a kind of dragon, this kind of dragon does not have two horns on the head, and the utensils engraved with the claw pattern can play the role of seclusion. Not long ago in Mujia Mountain, Yunnan, dug up a tomb of the prince of the Ming Dynasty, you may have heard the commentary of the book have heard of the "Ming Dynasty Heroes", that Zhu Yuanzhang has a general, surnamed Mu, called Mu Ying, that unearthed is the tomb of Mu Ying Mu Wangye, which unearthed a pair of 'jade double claws', similar to the two of you poured out this time moth body crests double bi, in modern terms, it is a kind of medal, military medal and the like.
"Let's talk about this pair, as the name suggests, it's a pair. There is also a particular attention here, this accessory is hung on both sides of the helmet, so it must be a pair, only one, it is not valuable.
"What is '劙'? This refers to the process by which it is made. In addition, the value of this pair of moth body crests mainly comes from its historical value and appreciation value, and its own material is not expensive. This is a kind of 'dry yellow discolored repor' (1) from Transcaucasia, but it is not jade, and of course it is not impossible to classify it as jade. Dry yellow is now very valuable, but the material of this pair is not the best grade, and the top grade will change twelve different colors in twelve hours.
"Well, there is a word on this side, seal script, which is a person's name, called 'Guo Shrimp Toad', it seems that the owner of this pair is him. This person seems to be the late marshal of the Jin Kingdom, Zuo Dujian, when defending the city, with a hard bow, shot more than 200 Mongolian generals, brave, and finally died in battle, it is also considered to be the number one person, legend has it that the gold lord used 100,000 taels of gold, from the hands of the Mongols in exchange for his corpse. "
I feel like listening to the book of heaven, there are places that can be understood, but not much, the fat man simply does not listen, the beef shutters, mutton slices, chicken slices, vegetables, mushrooms are plated into the hot pot, these days eating barbecue are eaten to the stomach, today can catch the mutton, throw off the cheeks, just one word "eat".
I asked the big gold tooth what is more popular in the antique market recently, and it can sell for a lot of money.
The big gold tooth said: "Foreigners call our country porcelain, it can be said that porcelain is always the hottest in the antique market transactions, and the porcelain produced in the most glorious period of Chinese history can not be compared with even modern advanced technology." For example, have you ever heard of Chenghua porcelain? Especially the color ware in Chenghua porcelain, that is the most awesome, it doesn't need to be big, just like a three-year-old child's little cock, it is worth 100,000 yuan when it is Pan Jiayuan, without bargaining. You just said that there are a lot of porcelain and pottery in the ancient tombs in Heifengkou on the Sino-Mongolian border, but unfortunately they have not been poured out, and those should be from the late Northern Song Dynasty, which is a pity. I said something you don't like to hear, don't mind, you are looking away this time, those altars and jars that you haven't poured out are worth far more than this pair of moths and mantises. So you two have this eyesight, you still have to learn, look for an opportunity, next time when I go to the countryside to collect things, you also go with me, take a look at the doorway here, survive in the future, let alone deal with a few million. "
I said yes again and again, and said to the big golden tooth: "I really mean that, now I have a bold idea, next time we are going to pour a big fight and solve the problem at once." Faqiu touches the gold industry, in the deep mountains and old forests to do things is not as good as the mainland, the risk is too great, even if there are a few more lives, I can't stand such a toss, I am ready to find a top feng shui treasure cave in the tomb to start, but this matter is not child's play, I need to make all preparations in advance, otherwise I am afraid I will not be able to deal with it. "
The big golden tooth asked, "Master Hu, do you really want to get the big one back?" Have you chosen your goal? "
I said, "No, I just suddenly came up with such an idea, the kind of big tombs in remote areas are extremely difficult to find, and I am now like a farmer, in addition to looking at feng shui to find holes and find pulses, I don't know anything about historical and archaeological value appraisal and the like, and I am very blind in choosing targets." It's not that we want to rush to do it in the near future, our action this time seems to be a bit eager for quick success, and this kind of short-term behavior can't be done anymore. However, this has to be said twice, although this trip to the Northeast did not pour out any big things, but it has accumulated some experience and funds, which can be regarded as an inverted exercise. The big golden tooth said: "Hearing you say this, I can't help but think of one thing, this Xinjiang is ...."
