Chapter 285: Information on the Ship Diagram
If it weren't for the soaking corrosion of the wood by the seawater, these exquisite carvings would be an absolute artistic treasure.
Xu Wenjie walked around the boat and found that the walls of the entire ship were carved with patterns. These patterns are like vivid paintings, describing the experiences of the sages of the Ming Dynasty who went to sea.
After looking around, he finally found the original picture scroll, which looked like an official who had accepted the emperor's canonization.
Then, as soon as the picture turns, it becomes the seaside, and there are many people to see off people who go to sea. Xu Wenjie could feel the scene at that time, these people who went to sea were completely saying their final goodbyes to their families.
However, Xu Wenjie wondered why there should be dozens of ships going to sea, and why only such a sunken ship was found.
Moreover, they sailed south along the coastline and then turned around towards the Indian Ocean. In the middle, I landed on many small islands in the South China Sea, and I also had exchanges with the natives of these islands.
Then, along the coastline of the Indian Ocean, all the way to the African continent. There was more than one landing in between, but alas, what happened to the landing, there is no record of this.
There was a storm in the middle, and the fleet seemed to have a problem, and some of the ships returned the same way, while the other continued on their way.
It seems to be a turning point, and after a peaceful life at sea, I don't know how, on the carved picture, there are fewer ships again.
And the next situation was very weird, Xu Wenjie found that there were fewer and fewer boats, and the reason had not yet been carved, which made him a little speechless. Isn't this pure haste to death, and if you carve, you will carve out everything.
If only the carver were alive. will definitely scold Xu Wenjie. You think it's easy to carve! Still on such a larger ship. Carve out such a pattern.
Xu Wenjie, who was depressed enough, suddenly found that there was a fault in the middle after watching it for a while, and part of the content didn't seem to be carved. Then, there was only one ship left, and it seemed to be the one they were salvaging now.
Obviously, there must have been some trouble in the middle that caused a change in the fleet. As a result, the ship was separated from the large forces.
The next thing is that they are disoriented, they can't find land, and then there is a lack of water and food on board. In this case, it seems that there was some civil unrest on the ship, and some of the people died.
Then, it was during his wandering on the vast sea, that the master carved these pictures and those wood carvings to pass the time at sea.
And then. They discovered land, not long after landing. Back on the boat again, I walked very hurriedly, as if something terrible had happened.
It's a pity that there's no carving out of what happened here. Then the people on board began to die, and in the end more and more people died.
Seeing this, Xu Wenjie seemed to understand a little why the ship did not find the corpses, because when the ship sank, the people on board were almost dead.
Finally there was a problem with the boat, and the carving ended there, and there was no follow-up. As for why the ship sank, it was not explained above, but Xu Wenjie found a strange problem.
Supposedly, even if the ship sank in the end, there should be human bones on board. Because, after the death of an important person on the ship, it seems that they were not buried at sea, but were placed on the ship after special treatment.
However, when the salvage was carried out, no bones were found on the ship, which means that the object was missing.
Strange, maybe it was when it sank, and it floated out of the ship. It's just a pity, maybe the disaster came too suddenly, and the carver didn't have time to record what happened. Xu Wenjie shook his head and stopped thinking about it.
He walked up to a restoration expert and asked, "Can the patterns on these boats be rubbed on paper?" ”
"Yes, but it has to be dealt with, these are fragile now, and if you are not careful, they will be damaged. In addition, the ship must be dealt with as soon as possible, otherwise there is a high risk of some damage that is difficult to repair. ”
"If you need anything, just tell the person in charge here, and he will help you prepare. When the ship was restored, every effort was made to keep it as it was, especially the patterns. ”
"You can rest assured of this, you don't need to say it, we will also keep this treasure intact."
Xu Wenjie got off the boat, and he was a little puzzled in his heart, what kind of dynasty went to sea. It stands to reason that such a large fleet should have a record.
After returning to the house, he directly found Qian Fat Man and said: "There are some patterns about navigation on that ship, you can ask people to go up and record it later, take it back to China and ask about it, and see if you can find the history of this ship." ”
"Well, with the records, plus these things we found, there shouldn't be any problems." The fat man chatted with Xu Wenjie about the ship for a while, and then went to deal with it.
Now there are quite a few people staring at this ship, there is no way, in the face of huge interests, some people can't sit still.
Hearing the news from the uncle's side, several large auction houses have already contacted him to ask about the handling of the treasures on the ship.
"Wife, what are you doing?" Xu Wenjie watched Qin Daixue come out of the house with some things.
Qin Daixue looked at Xu Wenjie and said, "A few little guys were playing in the house just now, and they broke these things, I'll deal with them." ”
Xu Wenjie stretched out his head to look, opened his mouth, and finally swallowed the words back. These little ancestors, if Qin Daixue knew that it was the antique plate that was secretly brought back, I don't know what to do with those little guys.
Of course, if it is really said, Xu Wenjie feels that he may be unlucky in the end. If she told Qin Daixue, she wouldn't use those porcelains as dog bowls.
Xu Wenjie's behavior of holding hundreds of years of antiques as a dog bowl may not be anyone. But who allowed him to harvest so much porcelain at once?
You must know that in the end, three large boxes of intact porcelain were found in the cabin, although these porcelains are official kilns, but because they are ordinary porcelain, they are not of much value.
In addition to some of the gifts, Xu Wenjie also has two whole boxes, and he plans to use these porcelains to open a cultural relics restaurant.
At that time, people who can enter this restaurant to eat will definitely not be able to eat without a certain amount of financial support.
"Otherwise, I'll get some servants to come back."
"No, if there were a servant, I wouldn't be used to it. Besides, it's just the two of us here, unlike the castle, where you need a servant. ”
Xu Wenjie thought about it, indeed, if there is a servant, don't think about the world of the two. Besides, after a while, there will be employees here, and there will be no need for servants at that time.
"By the way, Mom and Dad are traveling, how is the situation now?" It has always been Qin Daixue's contact over there, and Xu Wenjie is not clear about the situation.
"I've asked them to come here to see what they want to do in various scenic spots in China. Or, let your parents travel with you. ”
Xu Wenjie shook his head, let them not want to spend money, and went out to play. There are some things that they can't possibly do. (To be continued.) )
