Chapter Seventy-Five: Digging Treasure on the River Embankment
Dong Tianyue looked up at the stairs, Gui Yumeng actually wore a cheongsam today, but it was white, it looked rich in purity, elegant in gentleness, the design of the slit showed the snow-white slender legs, and the tight-fitting cut set off the extreme temptation of convex and backward curl.
"It's beautiful!" Dong Tianyue stretched out his thumb and said. Gui Yumeng walked down the stairs, learned to blow at Dong Tianyue's face with a prodigal beauty, and said with a smile: "How is it better than the last time I saw that coquettish beautiful young woman?" ”
"Well, more beautiful than her!" Dong Tianyue took a step forward, not daring to get too close to Gui Yumeng, and said in his heart, this girl turned out to be competing with the cheongsam woman last time? Hey, I really can't understand a woman's mind.
"Hehe, then you kiss me!" Gui Yumeng put his arms around Dong Tianyue's neck and sold germination. Dong Tianyue sweated profusely, kissed her perfunctorily on the cheek and said, "Okay, let's go, don't make a fuss." ”
Gui Yumeng was overjoyed, and in turn kissed Dong Tianyue the lips, "Hmm." ”
Five minutes later, Dong Tianyue and Gui Yumeng, Gao Lingfeng and Dongzi gathered in front of the hotel gate. After getting into the car, Dong Tianyue said to Gao Lingfeng: "Go straight to the Shuiyun River." ”
About two hours later, when Land Rover and Wrangler arrived in Shuiyun Town, it was almost nine o'clock, and the whole town was still full of traffic, including many foreign license plates.
Dong Tianyue and his entourage first went to a hotel to inquire about the news. Entering a restaurant, Dong Tianyue ordered a meatball soup and a few stir-fries. The proprietress of the hotel is about 40 years old and very talkative.
"Are the rumors true? Where to dig for treasure? Dong Tianyue and his entourage asked the proprietress about the situation. The female owner of the restaurant asked, are you here to collect treasure, and whispered that the six people who were eating in the bakery were all collecting treasures, including local Xuancheng people, Ma'anshan people and Nanjing people, "They have been here for almost two months." ”
Dong Tianyue and the others were very surprised, they didn't expect that this treasure digging attracted so many antique dealers.
When Dong Tianyue asked where to dig treasure, the female shopkeeper introduced that as long as you go to the embankment, you can see it. "However, there are no people digging treasures during the day during this time, and it may have to wait until night. Now the police station has sent people to guard it, and no one has the guts to do so. However, it is said that today they set off again, and no one from the police station was there, some people said that they went to handle the case, and some people said that they went to the county for a meeting. At the same time, the female shopkeeper suggested that it is best not to collect treasures at night, and now there are some fake treasures pretending to be pit people, who cannot be seen clearly at night and are easy to be fooled.
At this meal, Dong Tianyue figured out the ins and outs of the so-called treasure digging incident. Then, the four of them went straight to the river embankment. To the west of the Shuiyun River is Shuiyun Town, and to the east is Li Bridge, which is separated from the brick wall by a small river. After crossing a few hundred meters through Shuiyun Town, Dong Tianyue and his entourage came to the embankment of Shuiyun River. During the dry season, there was only more than 100 meters wide left in the entire Shuiyun River, and several excavators were working not far away, and some people could be faintly seen digging on the riverbed a little closer. On the other side, ceramic shards can be seen everywhere on the ground. Some villagers gathered in twos and threes and were carefully digging the mud.
Dong Tianyue walked to a depression, below which a villager was digging under the riverbed, wearing a duckbill hat, blue jeans, gray torn T-shirt, a wide shovel in his hand, and several broken ceramic plates at his feet.
"This old brother, have you gained anything?" Dong Tianyue bent down and handed over a cigarette and asked, the village name stepped forward, stretched out his arm to take the cigarette, Dong Tianyue helped him light it, and then asked: "I heard that the police have been investigating very fiercely recently?" ”
The villager stuck a shovel into the dirt on the side, puffed out a puff of smoke and said, "Yes, but the police station is handling a case today, and no one is on duty." ”
"Oh, how's the harvest?" Dongzi also leaned over and asked.
The villager bared his yellow teeth and said with a smile, "I must have dug up a treasure!" ”
When Dong Tianyue was talking to this villager, there was a commotion dozens of meters away, and a villager hurriedly went ashore with a thing and left, as if he was afraid of being robbed. The villager pointed to the man holding the thing and smiled, "See, that guy must have dug up something of great value!" Everyone looked up, only to see two people running down from a car not far away to meet the villager who was holding something in his arms, presumably a cultural relics dealer.
At this time, a villager wearing a black torn shirt came over to dig in the mud, probably trying his luck in a different place. After the villager in the duckbill hat finished smoking, he pulled out the shovel and inserted it into the soil and was about to work, Gui Yumeng asked him: "This big brother, how much money have you earned by digging treasures for so many days?" ”
"Tens of thousands of miles!" The villager next to him answered for him.
"Let's go ahead and have a look." Dong Tianyue motioned for everyone to follow him. After walking more than a dozen steps, Dong Tianyue and his party stopped, a villager in his 40s was cleaning up the treasures dug up, Dong Tianyue noticed that there were two jars, four red glazed porcelain bowls and a bowl. He told Dong Tianyue that this was the harvest of the three of them in the morning. A few days ago, the total number of treasures dug up was only sold for more than 2,000 yuan. Dongzi asked, how much did you sell for the most valuable thing you dug up? The man said that a few days ago, someone dug up a stone lion from the Tang Dynasty and sold it for more than 40,000 yuan!
Then, Dongzi's heart itched, and asked Dong Tianyue if he wanted to go to the car and take out the military shovel and come to do a vote? Dong Tianyue shook his head and said, "Let's take a look." Gao Lingfeng smiled: "Dongzi, this little gadget can't get into the eyes of my little uncle." Gui Yumeng said solemnly: "I advise you not to dig treasures, this is illegal!" Dongzi said with a smile: "The law is not responsible, there are hundreds of people digging here!" "Dong Tianyue just told everyone, watch more, listen more, if you see something superb.
This section of the embankment of Youbao is about 500 meters long, and Dong Tianyue and his party walked through it from beginning to end, but they also fell in love with a gadget. A hat bowl of the Song Dynasty, Dongzi liked it very much and wanted to buy it, but Gui Yumeng didn't agree, Dong Tianyue said, let him go, it's not illegal to buy one to play. As a result, Dongzi spent 9,000 yuan to buy the hat bowl. After buying it, he asked Dong Tianyue how much he could earn by changing hands, Dong Tianyue said with a smile, the quality is so good, fifty or sixty thousand is still worth it, and it is recommended that he collect it himself.
Looking at the east and west, it's almost time for lunch.
At around 11 o'clock in the afternoon, the sun's light gradually became stronger, and many women began to come to the treasure digging site to bring food to their husbands. At this time, Dong Tianyue and his party were also a little tired, especially Dong Tianyue. He relied on his true qi to stimulate his clairvoyant eye, scanning the ceramics under the mud of the riverbed, and analyzing their age, which was really laborious.
At half past eleven, many villagers walked ashore and squatted on the side of the road to eat boxed lunches. At first, Dong Tianyue was embarrassed to look at the area carefully, but he could finally go back and take a closer look. After looking at a few more places, there was still no gain, and Gui Yumeng was a little impatient following Dong's ass. About ten minutes later, the hard work paid off, and Dong Tianyue finally found the baby!
"This uncle, can you borrow your shovel and use it for a while." Dong Tianyue stopped on the bank of that section of the riverbed, took out a cigarette, and asked an old man in yellow who was squatting on the side of the road to eat. The old man was very talkative, took the cigarette and said, "Yes, but I will use it later, you have to return it to me, you can use it for twenty minutes at most." ”
Dong Tianyue nodded and said, "Ten minutes is enough." ”
Next to the old man squatted a man in his 30s, with fluffy hair and some mud, with a large mouthful of rice in his mouth, and said inarticulately: "Listen to the accent, you are not locals!" My dad and I dug up this bit all morning. The man pointed to the two broken porcelain bowls at his feet with his chopsticks. What he meant was that there was no treasure here, so you might as well dig somewhere else.
"It's okay, try your luck, it's the same everywhere, the key is to feel fun and want to experience life." Dong Tianyue also gave him a cigarette, borrowed a shovel, and said to Dongzi: "Come down and help." ”
Gao Lingfeng volunteered: "Uncle Junior, let me and Dongzi dig it, you rest." Gui Yumeng puffed out his mouth.
"It's okay, you look at it, if there is a police car coming, let me know in advance." Dong Tianyue pulled out the shovel in the soil next to the man and threw it to Dongzi, and went to get the old man's shovel again.
Dong Tianyue and the others walked down a few steps, the mud on the riverbed was a little rotten, the shoes were dirty, and they were still sinking, but unfortunately they couldn't borrow rain boots. After choosing a site to stand firm, Dong Tianyue pointed to a place two feet away and said to Dongzi: "You dig this piece, I dig that piece." Toko nodded.
Just now, Dong Tianyue looked at it with perspective eyes, and there was a doll porcelain pillow in good condition under Dongzi's piece, which should be from the Song Dynasty, and it was worth tens of thousands of yuan. So, he asked Dongzi to dig. The treasure under the ground that Dong Tianyue himself wants to dig is naturally even better, and he is doing this to hide people's eyes.
"Let's start, remember, be smart, feel the shovel touch something, tap your hands and feet, don't break it." Dong Tianyue instructed Dongzi.
Dongzi smiled: "You make it look like you can definitely dig it?" ”
Dong Tianyue smiled but did not say a word, and began to dig the mud. He had a clairvoyant eye just now and looked carefully below, where there was a complete human skeleton, and the throat was pitch black, indicating that he had been poisoned. There was a black clay pot next to the skeleton, and the man was holding the jar when he was alive. Although Dong Tianyue is not greedy for money, he can't help but be a little excited after seeing the things in the black clay pot clearly.
After digging seven or eight shovels of dirt, the skeleton slowly revealed, first showing a skull, then a rib body. The middle-aged man who was eating on the shore had sharp eyes, glanced down, saw it clearly, and shouted: "Ah, I dug up the skull again, it's really unlucky!" The old man wiped his cloudy old eyes, also glanced down, and sighed: "No wonder today's luck is so bad, it turns out that there are white bones underneath!" ”
Gui Yumeng on the shore was too frightened to look.
"Damn, boss, you even dug out the white bones, don't dig out a pair of white bone spirits!" Dongzi was a little scared at first, but seeing that Dong Tianyue was not afraid at all, he became bolder, and joked.
Dong Tianyue ignored him and continued to dig. Dongzi is also working hard. After a while, Dongzi stood heroically with a shovel and said with great joy: "Haha, there is a baby below!" ”
"Tap." Dong Tianyue looked over and said.
At this time, the father and son on the shore, Gui Yumeng, and Gao Lingfeng also came to the rescue. The old man took the initiative to ask for help, saying that he had experience and would not dig things, and if he found a good treasure, he would give a reward. Dongzi was inexperienced, so he agreed. This old man is really powerful, and he dug out the doll porcelain pillow buried deep in the soil without any damage.
Gui Yumeng on the shore said: "Doll porcelain pillow!" ”
The old man was overjoyed, cleaned up the porcelain pillow with a piece of cloth, and smiled at Gui Yumeng on the shore and said: "I can't see it, this girl is an expert, well, this is a porcelain pillow, not the first one, it was also out a few days ago, it is probably worth one or two thousand." ”
Gui Yumeng smiled: "The old man has good eyesight. He immediately took out seven or eight red tickets from the wallet of the small bag on his shoulder, handed them forward and said, "This is a tip." ”
The old man took the money and said with a smile: "Hey, it's really the back of the hand, our father and son didn't dig it all morning, but this little brother dug it as soon as he dug it." ”
Dong Tianyue said to Gui Yumeng: "Yumeng, how much money is left in the wallet, and then give the old man a tip." ”
Gui Yumeng looked through the wallet and said, "I brought more than two thousand, and there are quite a few." ”
"Give him another thousand." Dong Tianyue said.
Dongzi was puzzled and said: "Boss, you are too generous, hasn't Sister Yumeng already given it?" ”
"Haha, I have a fortune together, and besides, I also dug up something!" Dong Tianyue said lightly.
The old man and his son looked at each other and asked in surprise, "Really, do you want me to help?" Gui Yumeng and the others also looked over here.
Dong Tianyue didn't dare to make a mistake, but there were still things in the clay pot, and said with a smile: "No need, a corner has already been dug out." Everyone's eyes were wide open, and they looked at a big pit dug by Dong Tianyue, and a corner of a black clay pot appeared next to the right side of the skeleton's white bones. Dong Tianyue gently peeled off the soil covering the black clay pot, and the entire clay pot was unearthed.
"It's black pottery!" The old man was surprised.
"Hmm." Dong Tianyue walked to the shore with heavy footprints, asked the old man to borrow a rag, simply wiped the place where he was holding his hand, and immediately put his hand into the mouth of the clay pot, blocking everyone's view.
At this time, Dong Tianyue was a little excited, he dug up something good for the first time, Dongzi wanted to come over and take it in his hand, but Dong Tianyue refused, "Let's go, let's go back." ”
Before leaving, Dong Tianyue bowed to the white bones, took out another stack of money from his pocket, about more than three thousand yuan, handed it to the old man and said, "I implore the old man to help bury this white bone, this money is considered as labor expenses." ”
The old man accepted it and said, "Well, it's a trivial matter. Little brother is a good man! ”
"Thank you very much!" Dong Tianyue led everyone away.
Along the way, several groups of people came to inquire, asking Dong Tianyue about the black pottery in his hand and the porcelain pillow in Dongzi's hand, and saying that there were all kinds of accents.
