Earth Fire Chapter 12 The Handmaiden Terracotta Figurines

"What the hell, why are you here?"

Feng Jianfei, who did not find a car in the underground parking lot and did not find Lin Hainan, was finally picked up by Lin Hainan on Jinping Street, a road away from Hongqiao Hotel, after wandering around the Hongqiao Hotel for five minutes and unable to contact Lin Hainan. Feng Jianfei couldn't help but ask as soon as he got in the car, since the two were scattered in front of the elevator after the auction, he was worried about Lin Hainan's situation while walking carefully on the 23rd floor.

"Tell me first, what's going on on the 23rd floor?"

"No situation!" Feng Jianfei was also depressed when he mentioned this, and when he arrived on the 23rd floor, this floor belonged to the hotel guest room floor, except for one room by one, there was nothing else. Feng Jianfei carefully and carefully checked in the corridor, not only to pay attention to clues, but also to be careful not to be seen as a criminal, but he really couldn't find anything. At ten o'clock, there was no one in the corridor on the 23rd floor, and Feng Jianfei tried to guess the bidder's room No. 69 or No. 57, but he had no clue and didn't know where to start. According to the previous inference with Lin Hainan about the VIP elevator, Feng Jianfei tried to stay in front of the VIP elevator, but after finding the VIP elevator, he found that the hotel's hostess was guarding the VIP elevator, and he couldn't get close, so he could only continue to wander on the 23rd floor. Later, when he saw the staff elevator, Feng Jianfei also had suspicions, and immediately got down from the staff elevator, who knows, the accommodation part of the hotel is actually divided into two parts, A and B, and the two parts are only connected by the 19th to 24th floors, Feng Jianfei has wandered from Part A to Part B, and when he got off the elevator, he found that he was already far away from the hotel. When he hurriedly went around to the parking lot, Lin Hainan had already left in the car.

Feng Jianfei roughly talked about what happened to him, and couldn't help but feel a little depressed: "What, why do you carry it like this." Nothing was found. ”

"Not really," at the red light, Lin Hainan reached out and brought the maid terracotta figurines from the back seat and handed them to Feng Jianfei.

Feng Jianfei took the maid's clay figurines that were tightly wrapped in a dinner cloth: "What is it?" After opening it, Feng Jianfei couldn't help but be surprised: "Okay, Anan!

"Two hundred dollars bought. Lin Hainan also joked in a good mood.

"Go directly to the Forbidden City, right?" After consulting Feng Jianfei's opinion, the two went straight to the Forbidden City with the maid terracotta figurines, and along the way, Lin Hainan briefly talked about his experience.

"Good luck. Lin Hainan finally concluded.

"Tsk, luck is also a kind of strength. Feng Jianfei agreed casually, happily studying the maid terracotta figurines over and over again. "Eh, you say, are we all cut off?"

"Haha, maybe. Seeing Feng Jianfei's excited appearance, Lin Hainan couldn't help but smile and shook his head: "Okay, let's take it back to the Forbidden City for research in a while, and strive for the other party to contact us before we can know four, five or six." ”

"No problem, Yumi and Xu Jin are waiting. ”

Youmi and Xu Jin are indeed already waiting in the Forbidden City.

As soon as he entered the office of the cultural relics restoration team, Yumi began to count: "Have you gone around the world or have your car had a flat tire?" Xu Jin and I have been waiting since answering the phone, and our eyes are going to be straight!"

"Okay, okay, isn't this coming, we're driving a car, running on four wheels! It's not a rocket. Feng Jianfei immediately counterattacked, took off the cloth outside the maid's pottery figurines, dodged Youmi's outstretched hand, squeezed Youmi aside, and directly handed the maid's pottery figurines to Xu Jin, "Quick! Check first, if there is anything that shouldn't be there." ”

Xu Jin took it carefully: "Give it to me, it's already ready." With that, Xu Jin put the maid pottery figurines directly on the conveyor belt of the scanning detector, turned on the switch, and sat in front of the computer to check the data.

"Preliminary judgment, there are no metal objects. ”

"What kind of metal?" Lin Hainan asked puzzled.

"It's trackers, bugs, mini-cameras and other surveillance devices. ”

After listening to Youmi's explanation, Lin Hainan couldn't help but be speechless: "Heh, you guys have caught up with the Investigation Bureau." Lin Hainan remembered that when he entered the elevator, Feng Jianfei asked him to check the mobile phone signal and power supply.

Unexpectedly, Feng Jianfei replied a little proudly: "Although it is not a serious cultural relics reconnaissance bureau, it is almost the same." ”

"Can you look up a license plate number?"

"What's that? Say, what license plate?" Feng Jianfei also agreed with a smile. Youmi also smiled and said: "Don't look at our small number of people, the work we do is high-tech, our cultural relics restoration team has three groups, and only our group is taking this high-end atmosphere and high-grade route!" Lin Hainan immediately wrote down the license plate number of the white van he saw.

"Look," Xu Jin beckoned to everyone, only to see that the scanning detector had finished scanning the maid's pottery figurines, forming a 3D construction model and displaying it on the computer, and at the same time, the data bar on the right side of the screen, the numbers were also flying, and with the further scanning and Xu Jin's operation, the data was updated every minute and every second.

"Look here, there's a line. ”

Xu Jin pointed to the terracotta figurines on the screen and motioned for everyone to look at a line on the maid's terracotta figurines. This line divides the figurines diagonally into two halves, but does not run through them.

"What is this?" Feng Jianfei asked, when he inspected the terracotta figurines in the car, the terracotta figurines were very complete, could it be that the terracotta figurines that flowed out of Xigu were something that had been repaired? This is the repair line? But it definitely doesn't look like it. "Is it a repair line?"

"No, it's too late. Lin Hainan pondered: "Is there something in the terracotta figurines?" Like Feng Jianfei, Lin Hainan was very sure of the integrity of this maid terracotta figurines.

"Hey, that's right! Brother Lin is really keen!" Xu Jin praised sincerely, randomly operating the computer to make the maid spin. With this 360-degree view, the crowd quickly orients to something, not a line, but something like a small piece of paper.

"Whoa, whoa, what's in there?" Yumi jumped up. Perhaps the real value of tonight's auction may be this thing in the terracotta figurines in front of you.

"Yes, and you see," Xu Jin switched the screen and showed everyone the analysis report of the maid's terracotta figurines: "This is the analysis report of this terracotta figurines, which can analyze the historical time of textures, materials and objects. Xu Jin gave a brief introduction to Lin Hainan: "This is one of my jobs as a technician in our group. Now the report shows that this maid terracotta figurine, no obvious damage, no secondary restoration, is an old, and well-preserved maid terracotta figurine, the thing in it, if not wrong, should be the same age as the terracotta figurines. ”

"She brought her own?"

"Yes. Xu Jin replied to Youmi with a smile, saved the data, and printed it out: "You can take out the terracotta figurines." ”

According to the freshly released analysis report, Lin Hainan, Feng Jianfei, and Youmi discussed how to take out the contents inside. There is no doubt that the only way to get something out of a closed object is to break it, and it is not too difficult for the members of the conservation team to restore it afterwards.

"The terracotta figurines are fully enclosed, and Yumi, take and prepare for the operation of an oxygen-free environment. ”

"Yes. Yumi agreed to warm up the counter.

"This thing has a very regular shape, from the neck here?

In order to reduce the degree of damage to the maid's terracotta figurines, and also to reduce the difficulty of repairing the terracotta figurines later, Feng Jianfei proposed to use an air knife to cut off the neck.

Lin Hainan asked Xu Jin according to the report: "Is the thing in it poisonous?"

Xu Jin said embarrassedly: "If I don't scan that thing specifically, I can't guarantee it." And it's hard to say whether there are toxic gases in it. The contents may be stiff pieces of cloth or even thin pieces of iron. ”

"Huh-no, Ah Jin's people are very scared~" Yumi stood in front of the workbench, half of the safety equipment was set, and couldn't help complaining.

"I'll do the cutting. Lin Hainan walked straight over and took over Youmi's equipment. Yumi proposed to wear another layer of gloves, but Lin Hainan refused without thinking about it: "No, it will reduce the sensitivity of your hands." ”

When they were ready, everyone held their breath and couldn't suppress their imagination, what was inside?

The so-called terracotta figurines are ceramic sculptures made of clay with real people or animals as the main performance objects, which occupy a very important position in the history of ancient Chinese art and sculpture. As early as the Neolithic Age, people began to put mud-kneaded human bodies and animals into the furnace and fire them together with pottery. Terracotta figurines are mostly used as ancient burial vessels, which are the products of Chinese society development to a certain stage, the continuation of the martyrdom system in the slave society, and the idol of the burial of the living instead.

And Lin Hainan The terracotta figurine in their hands, 43 cm high, should be an ornament, in terms of shape, the maid bowed her hand to make a salute, bent down slightly, her face slightly raised, and rushed to the front. The smile on his face was very bright and sweet, his eyebrows were thin and curved, and his eyes were narrowed into a slit with a smile. The buns on both sides of the head are round and cute, and the image of a girl is lifelike.

"Xu Jin, how thick is the bottom of this terracotta figurine?"

"Not too thin, but not thick either. It takes about an hour to cut it with an air knife. ”

"Are you going to cut from the bottom?" Listening to Lin Hainan's words, Feng Jianfei asked.

"Yes, try to keep the body of the terracotta figurines intact. ”

I saw Lin Hainan turn the terracotta figurines in his hand upside down, put the head of the terracotta figurines against the countertop, opened the air knife, and carefully planned this square shape from the bottom.

"Why don't you cut off a layer of the soles of your feet? Yumi proposed.

"It's fine. "Although it is easy to repair the square cut, it is relatively large in terms of work.

Lin Hainan turned to lay the terracotta figurines horizontally, starting from the soles of the terracotta figurines' feet, and cut them down quickly and accurately. Lin Hainan's hand was very steady, and the air knife fell in the same position without a trace of deviation, which made Feng Jianfei, Youmi, and Xu Jin breathtaking. Lin Hainan was unmoved. At work, he was engrossed in the cultural relics, as if his soul had also condensed into an air knife, and a knife carved and sharpened himself.

Feng Jianfei lost his mind for a while, and the image of Lin Hainan in front of him gradually overlapped with the image of Lin Feng in his childhood memory, slowly, like a person. It would be unfair to say that he had lost contact with Lin Hainan for so many years because he was busy with each other, because the real situation was that Feng Jianfei did not dare to take the initiative to contact Lin Hainan. He never forgot the day when he was eighteen years old, he listened to his father's words and called Lin Hainan out to play around, and then went back to the situation where Lin Hainan's family was ruined. For so many years, my father has been very taboo about what he was back then, but he didn't explain or even confessed to Feng Jianfei's speculation. Faced with his father's attitude, Feng Jianfei couldn't help but have all kinds of suspicions, and his father Feng Qianshan was also one of the members of the expedition team that entered the Sahara with Lin Feng back then. In recent years, Feng Jianfei, who is obsessed with the pursuit of the truth, has gradually become estranged from his father, and meeting Lin Hainan again is not only a surprise for Feng Jianfei, but also a guilt, and when he knew that Lin Hainan also embarked on the road of finding Lin Feng, Feng Jianfei had even more fear in his heart, and for so many years, he never dared to ask his father: Dad, does Uncle Lin Feng's departure have anything to do with you?

At the moment when they met Lin Hainan in the office, a deep sense of frustration almost defeated Feng Jianfei, but fate finally made them reunite.

An hour later, the bottom of the handmaiden terracotta figurines was revealed. The contents finally revealed the true face of Lushan - a document.
