"Why do you all look at me like this? I told you I know what this is!"
Xiaoxuan frowned and said, "Why are you so arrogant? You know what you are talking about, so hurry up and say it."
Dou Sprout laughed and said, "We have an ancient temple in Zhoushan that is hundreds of years old! I saw something exactly like this in the temple when I was a child! I think it is about the same size as this one, but the one in my hometown temple is made of wood!"
Ours is made of copper!”
Dou Sprout wanted to show off his knowledge. He shook his head and said, "Listen up! This thing is called a Fukuda Box!"
I cursed silently.
It turned out to be a Futian box, also commonly known as a merit box among the people. Most of it was made of wood, with a small amount of copper and iron.
This thing doesn't come out of ancient tombs, so I don't see much of it. What Bean Sprout said is right. There is a handle just above this thing, which is used for wearing sticks. I used to hold temple fairs to raise funds, and when the money was full, someone would put it on.
The stick was carried away.
Because "Kangwang Temple" is clearly engraved on it, we can boldly infer that this is a merit box from the Kangwang Temple in Hecheng during the Ming Dynasty.
This kind of folk object is really rare on the market. Historical records record that Zhu Yuanzhang worked as a sweeping monk in Xiaojinshan Temple before he launched his army, which shows that this area was very prosperous during the Ming Dynasty. It is not surprising that such an object appears in the water.
In the past, people only spent copper coins and scraps of silver. I wondered if there might still be some incense money thrown by believers in this copper box?
Most of the Ming Dynasty copper coins are worthless, but there are also a small number of valuable varieties, such as some big coins, such as Jiajing Tongbao with eleven taels on the back, Tianqi Tongbao with eleven taels on the back, Chongzhen Tongbao with ten taels, etc., each of which costs more than 100,000 in the market.
Already.
I asked Xiaoxuan to help with the flashlight, and I found a kidnapping needle and slowly poked it along the entrance of the hole to see if I could hook anything. I stood aside with my head and Brother Yu to watch.
Xiaoxuan looked expectantly and asked, "How is it? Are there any good things?"
"Don't rush me! I'm digging it right now!"
The inside was full of mud and smelled bad. I was concentrating on it when suddenly a bright flashlight came from a distance and illuminated the few of us.
Unprepared, we were stunned on the spot!
I reacted the quickest and immediately blocked the merit box with my body, and then shouted at the bright light, "Who is it!"
Bundle With her head squinted and her eyes squinted, Douyazai was in a panic, and Xiaoxuan's face gradually became gloomy.
Who would have thought that someone would set foot on this deserted island in the middle of the night!
"What are you doing! Are you camping??"
While talking, two middle-aged men walked over together with flashlights. The two men were estimated to be about forty years old.
The more critical the situation is, the less likely it is to be chaotic.
I smiled and said, "Are the two eldest brothers from the hydropower station? They work the night shift?"
I observed that these two people were wearing blue overalls and protective shoes, with a red icon of a hydropower station printed on the pants pocket.
The other party said, "This island is deserted all year round. Someone saw a fire on the island just now. The team leader sent us to see the situation. After all, this island is close to the power station, so a fire would be bad. Oh, how many of you are still diving?"
"
This man saw our snorkeling gear hanging in a tree.
I was a little flustered and immediately said, "Brother, we are all from the north. We will stay here for two days and then leave. Don't worry, I won't cause you any trouble."
"Oh, that's it, what is that big guy?"
Dou Sprout immediately said nervously, "Nothing! This is the suitcase we use to pack things!"
Didn't we fish out a batch of dozens of antiques from the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China before? We didn't go out, so luckily we moved the batch of things to the woods in advance, otherwise there would be no way to explain it now. At this time, I saw out of the corner of my eye,
Xiaoxuan's eyes were cold, and she had secretly hidden the steel knife in her sleeve. Once these two people dared to come closer and take a look, given Xiaoxuan's character and temper, the other party would definitely be in trouble!
I was afraid of something, and the next second, the other party came over with a flashlight.
My nerves were tense, and I saw that Xiaoxuan's steel knife was already in her hand.
Just as he was about to see blood, he suddenly pressed his head on Xiaoxuan's shoulder.
After the other party took a look at the merit box, he suddenly smiled and said, "Okay, it's no big deal. I just want to remind you to be careful when lighting a fire and cooking. Then we'll go back."
Seeing the person walking away with a flashlight, Douyazai breathed a sigh of relief. He wiped the sweat from his face and said, "Damn, I was scared to death. I didn't expect that we would be discovered by someone even if we were so careful."
Xiaoxuan frowned and said, "Why are you trying to stop me? I should kill these two people, tie them with rocks, and sink them into the lake. I feel like they may have discovered our secret."
Glancing in the direction the two were leaving, he looked at the time on his phone and said to me, "Wait for five minutes, then Yunfeng, you can board our boat and follow them."
"What are you following them for? Are you going to follow them to the hydropower station?" I asked doubtfully.
Xiaoxuan immediately said, "I understand. You mean to kill them quietly on the road! Then I'll go with Yunfeng."
Shaking his head, "Don't you see it? These two people are weird. They are not from the hydropower station."
"Boss, how do you say this?"
He knitted his head and brows and said, "Yunfeng, you probably didn't look carefully just now. The work clothes of these two people don't fit well and their trouser legs are too short. In addition, the hydropower station faces south. From that direction, we can't see where we are at all."
This small island, let alone seeing firelight on the island at night.”
I took a breath and said, "Boss, what are the identities of these two people!"
He said coldly, "Come with us, people from the south are most likely coming to explore our ways."
He put his head in thought and said, "Sichuan people are moral. I don't think it's the Sichuan people who leaked our location. Wen Bin, you should also go and have a look. You are responsible for protecting Yunfeng's safety. Remember, follow at a distance and don't turn on the lights. If
If you lose me, come back quickly, I want to find out who this person is from."
Brother Yu and I immediately set off and chased each other in the direction in which the other party left. Soon we saw the shadow of a small boat in the distance.
To put it bluntly, the other party's ship was really not bound for the Xin'anjiang Hydropower Station, but in the opposite direction.
In the darkness, Brother Yu said, "Yunfeng, you have good eyesight, but you have to watch closely, I can't see clearly."
"Don't worry, Brother Yu, I can see clearly. Let's just drive straight."
What I can say about tracking is We are great experts. We are so far apart and as long as we don't turn on the lights, the other party can't find us.
We followed them all the way from the Nanhu District to the Central Lake District. We watched the two people go ashore from the fishing village pier. We waited for five minutes before we dared to follow them.
"Where are the people?"
"I don't know, Brother Yu."
In just five minutes, the two people seemed to disappear out of thin air after landing from the pier. The situation was urgent, so I immediately called the head to report the situation, and said to the head, "Go to the nearest guest house and check if there are any hanging
A car with a Zhejiang license plate.”
After searching, we really found something! Brother Yu and I saw a black off-road vehicle in a compound called Sancheng Hotel. The license plate number started with "Zhejiang B".
Suddenly! Brother Yu pulled me aside.
Immediately afterwards, I saw one of the two people walking down the stairs of the guest house. The man looked around, then opened the car door with his key, took a black plastic bag from the car and hurried upstairs.
I hid in the corner and dialed the phone again, and whispered, "Boss, we've found the person. They're driving a Toyota off-road vehicle starting with Zhejiang B."
After turning his head and listening, he said in a puzzled voice, "Ningbo people? Then we may be in trouble. Yunfeng, you have a good relationship with Mr. Luo, the tomb robber king of Changsha. You should quickly call Mr. Luo and ask which Guoguo in Ningbo is related to Sichuan people."
We have good relations there."
"Take the head, now?"
"Well, now! This matter can't be delayed. The most favorite thing for Ningbo people to do is to be gangsters and gangsters."
"Boss, what if the other party is really here to steal meat from our mouths? Are we going to fight head-on with them?"
He raised his head and said coldly, "Yunfeng, you have to remember one thing. Dogs can snatch meat from other dogs' mouths when they are hungry, but dogs cannot snatch meat from wolves' mouths."
I frowned and said, "Boss, what if this dog is not a domestic dog, but a wild dog? Wild dogs are always bold and travel in groups. When they get red-eyed, they even dare to bite lions. I'm wondering if there are any
One possibility is that wolves and wild dogs cooperate?"
The leader said, "You are right, but you don't understand the way Ningbo people always behave. These people are in the tomb. They even dare to bury their own father alive."
