Chapter 768: The Hardest Choice in the World
When the manpower was finally exhausted, when Tang Dou appeared again with two big burdens full of burdens, he finally weakened his legs, and knelt on the ground with a pop, and the whole person was almost completely collapsed. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
After more than eight hours of continuous crossing and moving, even the hardest brick movers in the world are probably nothing more than that.
Tang Qi, who was already shirtless on the side and was in charge of answering, was shocked when he saw his son kneeling, hurriedly stepped forward and hugged Tang Dou, and called out quickly: "Son, what's wrong with you?" ”
Tang Dou gasped and shook his head at Tang Qi with great effort: "I'm fine, hurry up and vacate the place, don't let the lamp trip and fall when it comes back." ”
Tang Qi hurriedly dragged Tang Dou aside and let him lean on a large pile of rare treasures, and then hurriedly dragged the two big burdens that Tang Dou carried back aside, complaining in his mouth: "It's so heavy, you won't carry it less at a time......"
The black light flashed, and the Yang lamp brush, which was also soaked all over her body, appeared in the place where Tang Dou appeared just now, she saw Tang Dou leaning on the treasure pile at a glance, exclaimed, hurriedly put down the burden on her shoulders and ran to Tang Dou's side, and asked quickly: "Douzi, are you okay?" ”
The three old men and Qin Jie, who had just changed shifts with Lin Jingru and was helping in the courtyard, heard the sound and quickly ran around the treasures all over the ground.
Tang Dou smiled and said to everyone: "I'm fine, I'm just a little tired, this time I can be regarded as knowing that pouring antiques is a hard work." ”
"And the strength stinks poor." Yang stumbled over and couldn't help but curse when he heard the sound, but the corners of his mouth were full of smiles.
Tang Dou smiled and stretched out his finger and pointed to the two big burdens he was carrying, and said breathlessly: "The eighty-fourth volume of the Yongle Canon, I hesitated for a long time when I took it, this should be a copy, should I go to Ming Chengzu Zhu Di to ask for an original." ”
"Yongle Grand Ceremony?!" The three old men couldn't help but raise their eyebrows.
Yang Yan said angrily to Tang Dou: "You are really stupid enough, since you can go to Zhu Di to ask for the original, why do you have to carry these things back, wouldn't it be good if you went back and told Zhu Di to bury the original in the Ming Changling Mausoleum?" The Ming Changling Tomb has not been stolen and excavated so far, the underground palace is well preserved, if the Yongle Grand Ceremony is preserved in it, it must be preserved intact until now. ”
Tang Dou grinned and said: "Cheng, I'll go back to do this, but this time I'm really embarrassed, I found Wenyuan Pavilion, where there is a copy of "Siku Quanshu" and "Ancient and Modern Books Integration", even if it exhausts me to death, I'm afraid it will be impossible for me to move these books back from it before the British and French forces burn down Wenyuan Pavilion." ”
"When you're tired, take a break and say something bastard." Yang scolded Tang Dou at a glance, and sat on the eighty-four volumes of "Yongle Canon" that Tang Dou had brought back, but his brows were deeply locked.
The British and French troops invaded the Old Summer Palace, a fire burned the Wenyuan Pavilion cleanly, leaving only a stone tablet to preserve to modern times, and more than 79,000 volumes of "Siku Quanshu" and 10,000 volumes of "Ancient and Modern Books Collection" in the pavilion were all burned, and none of them were handed down.
Thinking of this, Yang's heart, liver, stomach and lungs trembled with pain.
Yang Deng thought for a while, looked at Yang and said, "Dad, anyway, the two of us can travel to the Old Summer Palace at any time, or, let's rest for a day or two first, and by the way, sort out these antiques that have been moved back, and then the two of us will go and move again?" ”
Yang frowned and didn't speak, he also knew in his heart that everyone's physical strength was already overdrawn, and if he continued to fight, I was afraid that before the things were moved, people would be tired and a few people would be tired.
But psychologically, he hopes that he can move everything in the Old Summer Palace back home immediately.
Not only the Old Summer Palace, but also the Three Mountains and Five Gardens looted and burned by the British and French forces, and the Old Summer Palace is just one of them, and there are also millions of rare treasures waiting to be rescued among other royal gardens.
There are thousands of people in the family, and there is one person in charge.
Qin Yanpei has the highest seniority, and he coughed lightly and said, "What the lamp girl said is right, now that the yard is full of things, there is almost no place to stay." It's definitely not okay to put these things here like this, and if someone comes, I'm afraid we won't be able to explain it ourselves. Let's do it today, let's get rid of these things in the yard first, and people can rest for a while, and wait until we are all adjusted in two days, and then continue. ”
Zhou Lao also echoed: "I agree with what Dean Qin said. ”
Yang also knew at a glance that everyone had been busy all night, and his body was almost unbearable, so he sighed softly: "Okay, let's do this today, but I thought that the Old Summer Palace had lost and damaged so many national treasures, and I was ...... Alas. ”
Zhou Lao sighed and said, "Anyone who thinks about this matter will feel distressed, but we can't just let the two of them move blindly like this." Twenty hours, more than eight hours have passed now, and even if you subtract the time the two of them stayed in modern times, I'm afraid that the remaining time is only thirteen or fourteen hours......"
Tang Dou cut off Zhou Lao's words and interjected: "When I came back just now, I paid attention to the Western clock in Wenyuan Pavilion, and the time there was a quarter past three in the morning, that is, we still have about fifteen hours to spare. ”
Zhou Lao nodded at Tang Dou in approval, he glanced at Yang and said, "I mean, we shouldn't let the two children move like this. As far as I know, at least 1.5 million cultural relics were looted and destroyed in the Old Summer Palace. Even if the two children tried their best, it would be impossible to rescue all the 1.5 million cultural relics in 15 hours. Now we have to make a choice, choose the best of the best, and let the two children have the choice to rescue those treasures of higher value or special significance. ”
Qin Yanpei snorted: "That's how it should be, most of these things that beans and lamps moved back overnight are not very valuable." ”
The value that Qin Yanpei is talking about at the moment is not very high, it is just relative, now these Old Summer Palace treasures that are piled up in the backyard, any one of them can make an ordinary person spend his life drinking, but now the vision of the three old men is no longer ordinarily high, and they can't look down on ordinary antiques at all.
Yang Yiyan also nodded, frowned and said, "The lost treasures of the Old Summer Palace are as vast as a sea of smoke, how do we choose?" ”
At this time, Tang Dou smiled, he finally sat up straight, reached out and took out a booklet from his arms and handed it to Yang Yiyan, but when he handed it to Yang Yiyan, he came to his senses in time, hurriedly handed it to Qin Yanpei, and said with a smile: "Grandpa, I found this book in the Wenyuan Pavilion that the Internal Affairs Office made in the fifteenth year of Daoguang The Old Summer Palace storage list, you can take a look." ”
"It's great to have this." Qin Yanpei excitedly took the booklet from Tang Dou's hand and reached out to read it.
"Read it out and listen to it", Yang said with a dark face, without the slightest awareness of ordering his father-in-law and son to do things.
Qin Yanpei didn't hesitate, he opened it and glanced at the booklet twice, and read: "There are 280694 coexisting with one or two silver bills, this can be skipped." There are 152,971 volumes of books, 2,342 volumes of calligraphy and paintings, 450 types of ruyi, 337 pieces of jade inkstones and pen washes, 291 pieces of first-class porcelain stoves, bottles, cans, etc., 75 pieces of bronze, 387 pieces of various jades, 312 pieces of gold, and 1,298 pieces of silverware...... Great, this is just a catalog, the book has a detailed record of all kinds of objects under the catalog, and it also records where it is displayed, we only need to follow this booklet to Tu Suoji, so that targeted rescue of these treasures, will definitely be able to get twice the result with half the effort. ”
Qin Yanpei looked at Yang and Zhou Lao excitedly.
Zhou Lao nodded vigorously, with this roster, he will have a clear goal when he moves things, and he no longer needs to see what to rob like a bandit entering the village.
Yang sighed leisurely, buried his face in his hands and rubbed it vigorously, and said bitterly: "But what about the "Siku Quanshu" and "Ancient and Modern Books Collection"? "Siku Quanshu" is good to say, there are other versions that have been handed down, but "Ancient and Modern Books Collection" is only that set. ”
10,000 volumes of "Ancient and Modern Books Collection......
Qin Yanpei and Zhou Lao also instantly became sad.
Tang Dou grinned bitterly: "Or, I'll do my best, right?" ”
Everyone knows that it is not easy for Tang Dou to be able to say that I will do my best, 10,000 volumes of "Ancient and Modern Books Collection", Tang Dou may have to spend all the remaining time on this set of books, but that means giving up other precious cultural relics of the Old Summer Palace.
This, perhaps, is the hardest choice in the world.
Is it to rescue this set of "Ancient and Modern Book Collection"? Or do you want to salvage other, more precious relics of the Old Summer Palace?
This time, it's really the father, mother, wife and children who all fell into the river, which one do you want to save first?
"Spicy next door", Yang Yan gritted his teeth and scolded, everyone knew who Yang was scolding, but at this time, they could only shake their heads and sigh silently, in fact, they also wanted to scold so viciously, and let out a sullen breath in their hearts.
Zhou Lao stretched out his hand and patted Yang Yanyan's thigh, and then patted Tang Dou's thigh, and said in a low voice: "It's better to rescue some than nothing, you guys should rest first." ”
After that, Zhou Lao stood up, picked up a big burden with difficulty, and walked towards a room that was still empty.
At this time, the sky is already bright, and there may be a visit at any time, and these mountains of treasures in the courtyard must be hidden in time before anyone comes.
The family stood up one after another, although they paused to go to the Old Summer Palace to rescue the national treasure, but they also needed to rush against time. (To be continued.) )
