Chapter 60: The Opium Lamp

After Yang Fan finished speaking, he took off the collar around the dog's neck. The husky was wearing a collar, which was already uncomfortable, so he asked Yang Fan to take it off very well-behaved, and licked Yang Fan's hand with his tongue quite excitedly.

"This thing, so soon to start stammering with the master. Xu Ping said with a smile.

Seeing Yang Fan take off the collar, he didn't suspect anything, after all, some people looked at the burden on their pets, but they were uncomfortable, and felt that Yang Fan was also this possibility.

After taking it off, Yang Fan took a serious look at the collar and bell.

This made Xu Ping a little puzzled, it seems that the collar is not simple!

"Brother Yang, this circle is also a treasure?"

Yang Fan nodded and said with a smile: "Sort of!" The collar is not very valuable, it is very ordinary copper, and some Buddhist symbols are engraved on it, which is a bit historical.

The main thing is that the bell is made of gold, and there are various symbolic imprints on the outside of the bell, which record some special information, and such objects are also common.

To his knowledge, the Code of Hammurabi in ancient Babylon is the earliest intact written code ever discovered. This code is inscribed on a stone pillar, and the stone tablet of the code is hard and the calligraphy is fine, which is typical of the official documents of the First Babylonian Dynasty. The stele is now in the Louvre Museum in Paris, France.

This kind of thing is quite precious, and the symbol on this bell should also be a kind of writing, but it has long been lost in time.

The history of this bell is very long, and Yang Fan has no way to trace it, so he doesn't know what kind of text this is, and if he asks Jia Lao in the future, even if he doesn't know it, he can find out.

Back to the villa in Dengfeng City, such a quiet environment, coupled with enough space, made the husky very satisfied, and ran around the villa a few times before stopping and resting on the grass.

Yang Fan doesn't care, just throw the husky to Xu Ping for management.

At this time, Xiaowei was not at home and had not yet gotten off work. Although he recognized Yang Fan as his eldest brother, he did not rely too much on Yang Fan for a good job, and he was still the same position. However, those people didn't dare to bully her anymore, and even the manager knew that she had a backstage.

Not long after, Ji Gang asked Yang Fan to go out and gamble. I also patted my chest, and I bet that there must be treasures or something in those goods.

Yang Fan, who originally wanted to rest for a while, saw that he had been waiting for so many days, so he called Xu Ping, and everyone went out, anyway, it was not far away.

"You're finally back. If I don't come back, I'll run out of food. When Ji Gang saw Yang Fan, his whole heart was much more steady, without this rich man, he couldn't gamble!

It's not that he hasn't taken things out to gamble with others, but as soon as people heard about the gamble, they immediately stayed away from him, hiding from the plague god, there was no way, they could only wait for Yang Fan.

"Let's go, let's take a look!" Yang Fan said. Just listen to that nonsense, don't believe too much.

However, Ji Gang really doesn't have much money left. When he got those things back, he bought them back at a "high price". Therefore, he has been very popular in the countryside recently, and he has taken out those objects with a bit of history one by one and let him pick them.

He firmly believes that there is always something valuable in this way, right?

"Come, look at this thing, the family said that at least it was left by the grandfather's generation. I look like it, it's old. Ji Gang entered the house and immediately picked up a lamp.

Yang Fan took it and saw that it was indeed an ancient lamp.

China's ancient lamp culture has a long history, in the long history of more than 2,000 years, tens of thousands of ancient lamps and lanterns have been handed down, they have different shapes, thousands of postures, or bronze, or ceramics, or bamboo and wood, the small one is only one hand, and the big one is the lintel.

It is not easy for folk collectors to classify them. It is not easy for folk collectors to classify them.

The surface of this copper cigarette lamp is decorated with exquisite carvings, and the outer wall is also inlaid with silver, but Ji Gang doesn't know, otherwise he shouldn't have taken it out to gamble.

Yang Fan turned the ancient lamp, it seems that the original owner of this lamp is a rich man. However, it has definitely declined since then.

He knew very well that this was an opium lamp, and that it was not a rich man who could use this lamp to suck opium. However, since you suck that thing, it's not enough money to suck it.

The opium lamp, also known as the "poison lamp", is a specific historical product of the British after the opium was sold into China in the middle of the 19th century, and is a special lamp for lighting opium. Its function is not to illuminate, but to swallow opium, so it is called the "lamp of sin" for a veritable purpose.

The lamp, which has always held a high place in our hearts, has long become a symbol of justice and light, but the opium lamp is sinful.

There are also many varieties of cigarette lamps, the most common is copper cigarette lamps, which are the best products in the lamps, and are generally used by the wealthy. The surface of the copper smoke lamp is decorated with exquisite carvings, or inlaid with gold and silver patterns, and the more precious ones are cloisonné smoke lamps. The smoke lamps used by the common people are relatively rough in craftsmanship, and most of them are ceramic smoke lamps.

Therefore, Yang Fan is very sure that the family used to be quite rich, at least they were also a landlord!

"Oh, yes! There's another piece of this. It is said that it used to be used with this lamp. As he spoke, Ji Gang turned out a black lump.

Yang Fan looked at it in a blink of an eye, and hurriedly flashed to the side: "You'd better not touch this thing and throw it away." ”

"What did you come from?" Seeing Yang Fan's big reaction, Xu Ping couldn't help but ask.

"Do you know that opium is not broken, but it is also a poisonous product, and when it is encountered by people from the public security department, it is really hard to tell. ”

Hearing this, Xu Ping and Ji Gang were frightened, but the name of this thing was too amazing.

"Okay, I'll break it and flush it down the toilet. Ji Gang immediately took it to the toilet, he didn't want to be misunderstood, this thing was searched out, and he definitely jumped into the Yellow River and couldn't wash it.

"Damn! It turned out to be opium! That family wasn't a good product before!" Ji Gang complained inside.

It's no wonder that the family sighed that their ancestors were big landowners before, but for some reason, by the time they reached their grandfather's generation, they had already declined, and their descendants had not been touched by any light.

He spent thousands of dollars on the lamp plus this piece, but fortunately, he didn't meet the police or anything, otherwise it would be really troublesome. However, in that case, then that lamp is worth a bit of money, right?

After disposing of the piece of opium, Ji Gang came out and saw Yang Fan rummaging through the pile of things, and he didn't bother, and when he finished reading it, he was making a bet.

"Come, have a drink first. Ji Gang brought three bottles of drinks, put one on the table, and gave one bottle to Xu Ping. He almost looked at Yang Fan's development, and he was full of feelings! Everyone invited the driver.

It seems that I once climbed to the tenth place, although it was short-lived, but it was reluctant. Thank you Nangong, Shadow Dance, and Tree Worm for your tips!I'm really worried about next week!
