The next day.
"Sister-in-law, I know you are complaining about me in your heart, and I don't want to be like this, but you have to think about it. You, Brother Zhang, and your children have not yet gotten married and started a business. You will continue to live in the future, and you must be strong for them.
"
"This is my little wish, and my abilities are limited, so you must accept it."
I pushed a thick envelope over, containing more than seven thousand yuan.
She wiped her red eyes, shook her head and said, "Xiaoxiang, I can't accept your money. I'm not an unreasonable woman. My husband's death was an accident. I won't blame you. I used to always
I tried to persuade him to give up his unrealistic dream of getting rich, but he just didn’t listen! It’s his own fault for what happened now.”
As he spoke, he couldn't help but start sobbing again.
Lao Zhang's wife is in her thirties and is a bit fat, but her eyebrows and eyes have a very good temperament, and she is a plump young woman.
A woman's spirit is often the most fragile at this time, which is a good time to take action. But I am not that kind of person. I still have some conscience in my heart.
She took out a tissue and wiped her tears, then said, "My uncle also advised me last night. He was right. I have to be strong for the sake of the children. I plan to hold a funeral for Lao Zhang the day after tomorrow. If you are free, you can come and help."
.”
I asked how she planned to organize the funeral, and she told me.
If a person dies without a body due to various reasons, a "road burial" is generally used in the local area.
The so-called lead-in burial is to take the clothes that the deceased usually wore, take a handful of loess from the northwest corner of the house, wrap the soil with clothes, put it in an urn, and then bury it in the coffin.
It was decided that the funeral would be held the day after tomorrow, so the matter was settled. I promised that I would come over to help that afternoon, and then I forcibly kept the several thousand dollars and left.
As the saying goes, if you don't do bad things, you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. I went back that night and had a nightmare.
I dreamed that I went to Long Cave alone at night. I used a flashlight and there was a lot of noise around me.
Dark, suddenly! A bloody hand stretched out from the pit and grabbed my ankle. I wanted to run away, but I tripped over something, and then I was dragged into the hole by the bloody hand.
After waking up from the dream, I broke out in a cold sweat and washed my face with cold water before I woke up. Then I put on my clothes, made a cup of coffee, sat under the desk lamp, and began to study the three things found in the hole seriously.
Strange white flowers, broken pottery shards, and half a rusty iron coin with unclear words.
Regarding this strange flower that emits white light, I checked a lot of relevant information on the Internet. There is a flower whose description is close to the one I found. It is called "Crystal Orchid", which is relatively rare.
This kind of flower mostly grows in cold and cold places in the south. It uses animal carcasses or dead leaves as nutrients. It does not contain chlorophyll and does not need photosynthesis.
Because the temperature of the pit in Longdong is very high, I'm sure it's true, but it looks very similar in the pictures.
Crystal orchid is known as "one of the four flowers of the underworld". These four flowers are the other side flower, the poppy flower, the datura flower and the crystal orchid. In the past, these four flowers represented unknown things.
There is also an interesting saying, because after the crystal orchid blooms, it looks like a Bluetooth headset. Some people say that if you put this flower next to your ear, you can hear various sounds coming from the Huangquan Road.
I tried it and heard nothing.
What puzzles me is how does this crystal orchid survive growing on the cave wall? Where does the nutrients it needs to grow come from?
The broken pottery in the cave niche should be from the Heiding kiln of the Song Dynasty. People in the industry refer to it as Heiding. There are two types of black glazes in the Song Dynasty, one is pure black glaze and the other is patterned black glaze. The representative of patterned black glaze is architectural
The pure black glaze of the Yang kiln and the black Ding kiln are the most precious, but these fragments are of little use.
Move your eyes there
I scraped half a rusty iron coin with a knife for a long time, and then I could barely make out the word "Yong".
forever?
Yong what??
I was thinking about the ancient coins of the past dynasties. Those starting with the word Yong include Yongguang, Yongan five baht, Yongtong Wanguo, Yongping Yuanbao, Yonglong Tongbao, Yongtong Quanhuo, Yongan ten, Yongan one hundred, Yongan five hundred,
Yong'an Qian, Yongchang Tongbao.
Judging from the casting process of the side passages and back Guo Dizhang, I have ruled out most varieties. The problem is that this is iron money.
Iron money is generally circulated in western Sichuan. Yongtong Quanhuo and Yongan series do have iron quality, but they are completely inconsistent in all aspects. They are completely out of line.
Could it be Yonglong Tongbao or Yongping Yuanbao?
Yonglong and Yongping are both mints of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, but Yongping only has copper coins without iron, while Yonglong has iron coins. In my impression, they are also big iron coins. I have never heard of such small coins with my diameter.
That's about 2425 centimeters.
I racked my brains and thought hard, but the more I thought about it, the more distressed I became.
My damn eyes were so stumped by such a gadget! So I made up my mind that if I couldn’t figure it out, I wouldn’t sleep.
I went to the kitchen to get a whetstone and a small bowl of white vinegar.
Soak the iron coin in white vinegar, then take it out and grind it hard on the whetstone, and then soak it again.
After a lot of effort, I picked it up with chopsticks and held it up under the desk lamp to take a look.
happy!
Yongle
The one on the right seems to be vaguely the word "乐".
Yongle Tongbao?
After a long effort, I found out that it was a worthless Ming Dynasty Po Yongle. I cursed secretly and threw it in the trash can.
As soon as I sat back on the bed, I said something wrong! I immediately ran to pick it up again.
Not first
To explain whether there is iron money in Yongle, let’s talk about the arrangement of words. Yongle in Ming Dynasty can be read directly, with the word Yong at the top and the word Le at the bottom!
But my Canta coin has the word "Yong" on the top and the word "乐" on the right! It is actually read in a spiral way!
Thinking of some possibility, I felt excited.
In October of the second year of Xuanhe, Fang La gathered a crowd in Chun'an to revolt, and then conquered fifty-two counties in six states, calling himself Shenggong and establishing Yuan Yongle.
In the first month of the third year of Xuanhe, Tong Guan led the Song generals Liu Yanqing, Wang Zhen, Wang Huan, and Han Shizhong to go south to quell the rebellion. In October of the same year, the rebellion was successfully suppressed, and Fang La was killed.
This time was exactly one year. In just one year, Fang La actually made money? It has never been heard of before, and there is no record of it in history.
If we put aside the physical objects and analyze whether this is possible theoretically.
I think it is possible because there has been precedent before.
In the Chunhua period of the early Northern Song Dynasty, in 993 AD, peasant Wang Xiaobo and Li Shun launched an uprising. In the next year, in 994, they were defeated and killed. It took exactly one year, but they left behind coins, namely Yingyun Yuanbao and Yinggan Tongbao. Now it is found that
There are probably less than twenty pieces in existence, and one piece is worth about 800,000.
I immediately thought of another thing.
We previously discovered the precious batch of Chunxi Tong iron coins at the bottom of Qiandao Lake. At that time, little Japanese collectors chased me and wanted to pack them all up and buy them all for two million.
Assuming that there was a money supervisor specializing in casting iron coins in Chun'an County at that time, it is very likely that after Fang La became emperor, he would order the iron money supervisor nearby to try to cast a batch of Qian Wen with his own reign name.
Money comes out, because only when it has its own currency can a new regime be officially established.
Then the more I thought about it, the more excited I became, and I couldn't sleep at all.
I plan to buy rope tomorrow and I must go down and take a look.
I am sure that there must be some shocking secrets hidden in that strange dragon cave.
