I don’t know if it’s a psychological effect caused by being too nervous, but I always feel like there’s something hidden under my waist.
I waved to Dou Sprouts.
"What's wrong Mineko?"
I pointed to the waist hole: "You reach in and take it out."
Douyazai couldn't help but shake his head: "Why don't you take it out and let me take it out? What if there is a snake?"
"Hurry up, your hands are longer than mine, and there are no snakes."
Dou Sprout murmured and slowly reached down. He felt that he couldn't reach it, so he leaned half of his body on it.
"Hey? I touched something, what is it?"
Dou Sprout took his hand back and took out two or three pale white pointed objects that looked like teeth.
It's definitely not human. Human teeth are not that long and look like dog teeth.
There was a small hole punched in the upper part of the tooth, which must have been used for stringing ropes during the Warring States Period. Also, after careful inspection, I found that there were carving marks on the tip of the tooth, which looked a bit like a small seal script, so I couldn't be sure.
Dou Sprouts dug for a while, and found a total of 7 dog teeth like this, but they disappeared when he was looking for them.
I knew that there was a custom of sacrificing dogs in waist pits during the Warring States Period, but I didn’t know what it meant to just let go of the dog’s fangs. I waved my hand and told the bean sprouts to put them away and directed the others to finish.
No preserved silk was found in the tombs. Those curtains have been mixed with the soil and cannot be removed. They may be valuable to the archaeological team, but they have lost their value to us. It is a pity that they have all oxidized and rotted.
I didn't see the epitaph, and the identity of the tomb owner is unknown. The identity of Jiang Yuan's ancestor can only be determined to be a person who lived in Xianyang during the Warring States Period in the Qin Dynasty, and may have been a small noble with good conditions.
"How's the stuff, Brother Yu?"
Brother Yu locked the carriage and said he had packed more than ten sacks.
"Go back to Qingba and wait until dawn. There are many people here."
"Xiaomi, work overtime and level this place before noon so that no one can see it."
"I understand, Brother Feng."
After being ordered to go down and finish the work, I ran to the back of the brick house and took a look.
He removed the wooden board that the tomb robber was hiding and looked down with a flashlight.
"Help!"
"Help!"
Except for the one named Brother Niu, everyone else was awake. Someone was supporting Jiang Yuan when she was pushed down. She only had a scratch on her forehead. When she saw the bright light of the flashlight, she screamed for help.
"Help!"
I threw two bottles of mineral water into the pit and closed the lids tightly.
The others stayed in the sulfuric acid plant to catch up on work. Brother Yu and I drove the truck slowly out of the factory and drove to the hotel where we lived.
Because the hotel is not far from the police station, we were very careful when unloading the goods. Brother Yu was in the car and I was under the car, and we were unloading the goods. Suddenly someone shouted from behind.
"Young man! Young man!"
I put down the sack and said with a smile, "What's wrong, Officer Zhao?"
"What you're getting are potatoes, right? One bag after another."
Brother Yu kept a straight face and said nothing. I sat on the sack and said with a smile, "Yes, the potatoes that just came down, and a few bags of sweet potatoes."
"How to sell it? The cafeteria is selling vegetables this weekend, so I'll give you two bags."
I have never bought groceries, so in order not to expose any flaws, I just said casually.
"That's cheap. When you're done, send two bags to our canteen and ask Mr. Li from the canteen to make a note."
"Okay, I'll send it to you when I have time."
"Officer Zhao, please walk slowly."
Watching the person walk away, I stood up, wiped my sweat, and breathed a sigh of relief.
The reason why I had been sitting on the sack just now was because the rope at the top of the binding was loose and one of the legs of the round tripod came out.
Damn it, these sacks are full of Warring States bronzes.
I have to finish my things and go back to Yulin as soon as possible. This place is not safe.
Xiaomi was busy all morning, leveling the big pit, and spent the next day and a half doing the finishing touches, buying cement to lay the floor. During this period, the deputy factory director of the old woman came to see us once, and praised us for doing a good job, using enough materials, and not cutting corners.
.
After so many years, the Xi'an Sulfuric Acid Plant has been demolished.
No one knows what happened there.
The bronzes are dug out and need to be cleaned, just like they were done in Shunde. This kind of green embroidered goods from large deep pits have always been very popular. Because the state and auction houses explicitly prohibit the sale, almost most of them are lost.
It fell into the hands of a second-hand dealer.
The price of a round tripod from the Warring States Period (ordinary) in good condition is now about 300,000 yuan. A square tripod is now over 2 million yuan. At that time, a round tripod only cost 50,000 yuan.
Dings and jue cups are the most common things in our eyes, and some rarer types of vessels are now more expensive.
Things like bronze square pots (square pots) as people in the industry call them, 笲, 痗, 簠, 稨 for eating and drinking, musical instruments such as new bells, Yong bells, chime bells, 锞yu, hooks and so on, have always been used.
Price increases, prices double every year.
Chi Santong specializes in pottery and pottery. If I sell her bronzes, she will definitely take them. However, her channel for bulk goods is not good, because Zhuangzi is not the right one. If you want to be safe, you must find someone who is the right one for Zhuangzi.
After many inquiries and Lao Pi’s introduction, I contacted a person. This man is from Lin County. His name is Lao Wu on Xi’an Road. I asked him to come over to look at the goods and negotiate prices.
Lao Wu is in his forties, with dark skin and small eyes like a mouse. He may have suffered from kidney deficiency, and he has had dark circles under his eyes all year round.
That day he arrived at Chonghuang North Road at around 11pm.
"Boss, I'm here, where are you?"
I opened the curtains upstairs and looked down. After confirming that he was alone, I went downstairs.
"Hello, fifth brother, let's go upstairs."
Lao Wu turned around and was surprised.
"You are so young, you are already 20 years old, and you are so courageous. You are dying." He looked at the police station not far away.
"Fifth brother said, you are not cowardly. We call it darkness under the lamp, and I was afraid that you wouldn't dare to come."
We went upstairs while chatting and laughing, and I took him to see the goods.
"Is there anyone with an inscription?" Lao Wu glanced at the things on the ground.
I shook my head and said I had swiped it, but no.
"What a pity, brother, you have to post a few of these with inscriptions. Sotheby's has already sold them legally, and people in China have gone to buy them."
"Except for the broken ones, the others haven't been repaired, right?"
I said whatever you see is what you see, we don’t do that kind of thing.
(Actually, I fixed several broken legs, but he didn’t notice. Xiaomi fixed them.)
Lao Wu knelt down and inspected each one for a long time, then stood up and said, "Okay, brother is an open-minded person, how about I give you a total price, including the two losers."
This is Zhuangzi's counterpart.
Don’t ask how and where things come from, just look at the price when meeting, because asking too many questions is not good for both parties.
"Fifth Brother, tell me a price and I'll listen."
"Ninety, I'll cover this pile of ninety."
After hearing this, I smiled and shook my head and said, "Fifth Brother came here in a hurry and didn't eat. You go back to eat first. When you're full, we'll make an offer."
Lao Wu smiled and rubbed his hands, "Brother, you also know that this year's investigation will be strict, so you have to let me earn some money. Let's do this. I won't be ninety anymore, and I will give you one hundred and three."
I shook my head and said, "I'm not in a hurry. You're thinking about it. I'll keep the things for now and call me tomorrow."
"Hey... I really gave you a high price. Okay, brother, you should also think about it carefully."
As I watched Lao Wu go downstairs, Dou Sprout came over and shook me and said, "Sell it, Fengzi, why don't you sell it? It's a lot. I should have sold it long ago."
I said you know what the heck, don’t worry about it, the price can at least double, wait for him, he will call, how about the brick house?
Dou Yazai whispered: "After giving me water and food several times, the girl named Niu came back to life. Jiang Yuan almost went crazy. She kept scratching her face and kept begging me to let her out. She said she would never let her out again.
I don’t dare anymore, what should I do?”
I said don't worry about it, I have my own arrangements.
On the third day, Lao Wu called back and gave me a new price. I thought it was almost done and agreed to sell him the item.
After the transaction was completed, I asked for the card number, and I divided the money among the team members. Everyone had a share. This time, not only did they make up for the loss last time, but everyone also made a huge profit, including a few beauties and that dog tooth.
I stayed.
The three tomb robbers would not say anything after saving their lives. As for what to do with the frightened Jiang Yuan, I went to see her boyfriend Xie Pengfei.
Her boyfriend is indeed very handsome, and he can also play guitar and sing.
Douyazai frightened me twice with a knife and then he knelt down and called me brother. Afterwards, I gave him two sweet dates and 20,000 yuan to lure him into the trap.
Her boyfriend took the money, patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, brother, leave it to me. She (Jiang Yuan) dare not disobey me. If she disobeys, I will break up with her and mess with her."
