The old village chief had not yet realized that the village he led had left a very bad impression in the minds of outsiders.

He was squinting at Shi Jin with a pair of small eyes, trembling and shaking the cigarette stick in his hand and said, "The thing is in the ancestral hall, Mr. Shi, let's go in and have a look, right?" ”

Shi Jin naturally nodded and said yes, and got out of the way, asking the village chief to go first.

The village chief was very satisfied with Shi Jin's respect for the elderly, and said a few more modest words, seeing Shi Jin's insistence, he took the lead in entering the ancestral hall, and his shaking body still showed a trace of pride.

Shi Jin and others followed.

After entering the ancestral hall, Chu Ning found that the exterior of the ancestral hall looked very well built, but the interior furnishings were very simple.

Inside the ancestral hall, only a hand-painted portrait of the ancestors is hung in the main hall, and a dilapidated desk is placed under the portrait, on which incense burners and wild fruits are offered.

Chu Ning glanced at the desk and incense burner, and found that these were ordinary things, not long-lasting, they were all products of modern times, and they were not worth much.

But the portrait of the ancestor is very old.

However, the person who painted this portrait should have been from this village back then, and he had not undergone systematic painting learning, so his painting skills were very rough, and the portraits drawn were almost no different from the award-winning works of elementary school students.

However, although this painting is rough, the demeanor in the portrait is vividly painted, which is quite charming, which can be regarded as a rare merit of this painting.

I think it is precisely because of this that this painting is enshrined here.

"Mr. Shi, all the old things in our village are here." The old village chief pointed to the things that filled half the room on the left side of the ancestral hall and said, "Look, what can you see?" ”

When the old village chief talked to Shi Jin before, he put up the shelf of the elders, and although he was polite to Shi Jin, he was also a little condescending.

It's good now, seeing that it's time to talk about business, the old village chief will judge the situation, and his posture has suddenly dropped a lot.

Chu Ning sneered in her heart.

She didn't believe that the old village chief didn't know what the women in the village were like.

He also pretended to be kind, if she didn't know, it would be fine, now that she knows, it is natural to see that the old village chief is more kind and kind, the more disgusting she feels!

When she gets out of this mountain, she will definitely make the people of this village suffer the consequences!

Shi Jin nodded at the old village chief, glanced at Chu Ning, and stepped forward with Chu Ning.

Chu Ning had actually seen this pile of things just now, but when she really got closer and looked at it again, she still felt speechless.

Tao Fei came to contact the old village chief before, saying that he wanted to collect old things, but in fact, he was collecting antiques. The old village chief and others didn't know, so they naturally moved all the "old" objects in the village.

I don't know how many of these things are shovels, sickles, knives and other farm tools.

Most of them are still rusty.

I can get all these farm tools together, and I don't know how the villagers in the village are doing their work during this time.

Skimming over the obvious modern items, Chu Ning mainly looked at the household porcelain and bronze ware that were interspersed with them.

That's right, in such a remote mountain village, there are even bronze objects!

Moreover, these bronzes are not modern bronzes yet, but rare bronzes!

In China, the casting history of bronze has been nearly 5,000 years.

It is made of copper-tin alloy and has a very wide range of applications. And because the bronzes are handmade, there will be no two identical bronzes, each one unique.

When the bronze is first fired, its surface will take on an earthy yellow color that looks like gold, which is very beautiful. The bronzes unearthed in modern times, because they have been buried in the soil for too long, the bronzes gradually rust and deteriorate, and they will become the green color that everyone is more common now.

There were several bronzes in front of Chu Ning, all of which were green.

Obviously, if these bronzes were not the result of improper maintenance, they would have been dug out of the earth.

Looking at the mud layer that has not yet been cleaned on the surface of these bronzes, Chu Ning is even more sure of this in his heart.

Seeing that Chu Ning and Shi Jin were looking at the old things in the ancestral hall, the old village chief and several villagers didn't dare to come out, for fear that the two of them would propose not to want these things.

After all, even if they live in the mountains and haven't seen much of the so-called world, they still know some of the world's conditions.

As for the things they moved out of each house, even if they were placed in the mountains, not many people would care, they were all things that every household had, and they were still used every day.

The old village chief and the others really couldn't think of what the people in the city could do with these things.

Chu Ning's gaze slowly swept over the bronze and porcelain dishes in front of him, his back to the old village chief and the others, and he quietly gave Shi Jin a look.

Shi Jin immediately understood.

He turned his head to look at the old village chief, with a look of embarrassment on his face: "Village chief, although these things of yours are old, they are really not worth much......

Yes, I'm really afraid of something!

The old village chief's heart jumped, and he hurriedly said: "Mr. Shi, before your people wanted to collect old things, but I worked hard to persuade so many people in the village to come up with these things." Why don't you pick one of them, even if it's just a few things, how much is a meaning, and it didn't make us work in vain! ”

Shi Jin's face suddenly became more difficult, but he didn't directly refuse.

As soon as the old village chief saw that there was a door, he hurriedly continued to persuade him, and said how poor and miserable his village was, that the whole village was in danger every year, and that he had not even worn a new piece of clothing, and that he did not know how many people would be left in the village next year, and so on.

After the call, the old village chief's mouth was almost dry, Shi Jin was relieved, sighed, and said reluctantly: "The village chief's words also make sense, I finally walked in, and I don't want to go back empty-handed." But I don't really need the stuff you have, those shovels or whatever. It's those dishes, dishes, and whatever, and you can still see them after they are cleaned. Well, I'll have all the dishes you have here! ”

The old village chief was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly beckoned a few villagers behind him to come over, and asked earnestly: "Mr. Shi, what do you want, I'll let someone help you pick out the things first, right?" ”

In fact, Shi Jin's proposal was exactly what the old village chief wanted.

After all, they could find other things to replace the dishes, but farm tools such as shovels and sickles, these were the only ones in their village.

If these farm tools were really taken away by Shi Jin, they would have to let people go out to the mountains to the township to buy them, which would be a lot of money!
