Baotou has seen countless antiques in his life. It was the first time I heard the words "I don't know" from his mouth.
Then this jar may belong to the ancient times, Hongshan Culture, Yangshao Culture, Liangchu Culture, Neolithic Age, Qijia Culture... There are too many, and there are still many that have not been discovered.
Bronze wares from the Shang and Zhou dynasties can be auctioned in major Hong Kong auction houses, but this kind of items cannot be sold. Anyone who sells them will be breaking the law. It starts in 5 years.
The ancient cultural relics on this road are simple and clumsy in shape. Basically, the only ones we can see are stoneware, pottery, clayware and crude jade.
There are two extremes: either it is worthless and is left on the roadside and no one picks it up, or it is very valuable and is a first-class cultural relic.
There was no clear burial system at that time, so tomb robbers rarely encountered this kind of goods. Master Yao finally fell over. The biggest reason was that he wanted to sell the Hongshan Jade Pig Dragon to pay off his gambling debts.
Ancient people also had a sense of collecting. In other words, this painted toad pottery must have been brought by the Xixia people. It is purely a coincidence that we found it.
I wrapped it in a torn newspaper, wrapped it with tape, and gently placed the clay jar in the corner.
I don’t know how much it can be sold for. None of us have ever sold this kind of thing, but since we dug it up, we must take it.
"Brother Xiang, can you come out for a moment?"
"What's wrong?" I went out and asked.
"My mother asked what that was?"
I smiled and said: "Nothing, just a clay-fired painted jar, probably more than 4,000 years old, with some symbols, human figures and a big toad painted on it."
"Brother Xiang, I know I shouldn't say these words, but I still want to say them."
"You should throw that jar away. Throw it as far away as possible. My mother said that thing will bring disaster."
I said I won’t throw it away, but you are superstitious. What kind of disaster can a clay jar that is thousands of years old bring?
Besides, the toad pattern appeared earlier than the dragon pattern.
It was originally a totem of some ethnic minorities, because people at that time believed that the sound of a toad could predict weather changes, and the toad's big belly was like a woman's pregnant belly, white and fat, so people thought it represented "the birth of life"
”.
Therefore, it is normal for toad patterns to appear on cultural relics from ancient times.
Seeing that I didn't agree, Snake Girl stopped trying to persuade me.
The camp was muddy and uninhabitable, so we slept separately in stone huts.
Xiaoxuan and Snake Girl had a conflict. They didn't live in the same room, so she slept together with me, with Brother Yu and Dou Sprout at the other end. Xiaoxuan was in the middle, keeping vigil at Master Zhe's door.
"Stop moving."
Xiaoxuan was dishonest, so I winked, meaning Brother Yu was here.
She glared at me, turned away, and ignored me.
Looking at the clay jar wrapped with newspapers placed quietly in the corner, I slowly fell asleep.
Wow...
Wow...
I was sleeping soundly when I suddenly heard the sound of running water. I opened my eyes suddenly and found myself lying by the river!
In front of us is the small river that is diverted from the Dulong River, not far from the camp. We sometimes come here to fetch water and wash ourselves.
"Yunfeng! Yunfeng!"
"Where is this?! Aren't we sleeping in the house? Why are we at the river!"
I looked back and saw that it was Xiaoxuan.
In addition to Xiaoxuan, there were also Douyazai Bantou and Brother Yu, all of whom also looked at a loss.
I pinched myself hard and could feel the pain!
Is this a dream? Why do I still feel pain?
"Head! Brother Yu! Are we dreaming? What time is it now?!"
Dou Sprout scratched his head and said: "Oh my god! I see you every day, but I can still dream about you!"
After thinking about it, I smiled and said: "I think about it day by day and dream about it at night. You must be lying. This is my dream. I should be able to make the decision. I can turn my head and call me brother."
He raised his head in surprise and said: "What did you say??"
