After walking through several households, Zhao Zhuo found a few more antiques, but they were all small pieces of porcelain such as small bowls and jars, and jade bronzes and the like were not even seen in a shadow, and the prices of these old goods were not high, but they were very ordinary goods from the kiln.

When I walked out of the house, the sky had darkened and the clouds were thick, as if it was about to rain.

Li Lede proposed to go back first, and then find time to collect cultural relics when the weather was clear, so the three of them returned along the road, and when the road was only halfway through, it was already thundering, and the rain began to fall without saying anything, and the thunder became louder, and the rain gradually became heavier.

At this time, it was a long distance from the houses, and the road in the mountains became wet and slippery when it rained, and it was only muddy to run on it.

So, the three of them had to hide in a land temple on the side of the road.

This is a very common land temple in the countryside, backed by a hillside, just a few square meters of capacity, because of disrepair, the open gate has rotted partially, the wall is very damaged, the appearance of the loess is broken a lot, revealing a layer of bricks inside, there is a loess platform in the temple, there is a clay sculpture of land on it.

Zhao Zhuo's eyes fell on the clay sculpture, and he couldn't help but sigh regretfully, this clay sculpture must have a history of hundreds of years, and there is not much colored clay left on the surface, and the surface is also cracked, and I don't know when it will be completely shattered.

An antiquity can be handed down from the hands of the ancestors to this day, I don't know how many turmoil and things will go through, but there are very few people who are really intact as new, like this clay sculpture, there are not a few people who do not know its value and destroy it at will.

Li Lede saw that the rain outside was getting heavier and heavier, and said: "It seems that we have to hide from the rain here for a while, it is not the rainy season, and a rain will not last long." ”

Han Duoer looked up at the roof, and found that the roof was intact and did not leak rain, so he calmed down, looked at everything in the temple in surprise, and asked, "Village Chief, this small temple looks like it is very old." ”

Li Lede thought for a while and said, "I'm afraid this temple has a history of two or three hundred years, and it has been repaired several times before. Don't look at the temple so broken, during the New Year's Festival, the old people in the village love to come to incense and pray to God, and our village is also ready to find a time to renovate the temple. ”

Zhao Zhuo pointed to the clay sculpture and said, "Village chief, this clay sculpture should have been there when the temple was built, right?" ”

Li Lede nodded and said: "Yes, I also specifically consulted the people of the Cultural Relics Bureau, and asked if this clay sculpture could be repaired by professional personnel, but they said that this thing was too damaged and there was no way to repair it." ”

Zhao Zhuo whispered to the Mo Ling beside him and asked, "Can there be a way to repair a clay sculpture like this?" ”

Mo Ling shook his head slightly and said, "Clay sculptures are not like bronze and jade, they are easily damaged by changes in climate and temperature, and it is very troublesome to repair them. What's more, it is painted with colored clay on it. ”

Zhao Zhuo sighed secretly, in fact, he already knew the answer without asking.

There was no place to sit in the temple, so Zhao Zhuo took his hands and looked at the temple, there were two big mahogany pillars in the temple, showing the roof, and the big red paint painted on the pillars had also fallen off a lot, revealing a black wood color.

Zhao Zhuo's eyes were quickly attracted by the murals on the walls, which were also painted with figures such as immortals and Buddhas, although the picture was already a little unbearable, and the cracks on the earthen wall greatly affected the quality of the picture.

However, in Zhao Zhuo's view, this mural can be called a masterpiece, whether it is the characters in the painting, or the mounts, flowers and trees are depicted colorful, lifelike, the whole mural is majestic and majestic, the temple between the quiet and solemn, rich and profound feeling completely set off.

Although he has not been in the antique world for a long time, with the increase in the number of antiques, he has naturally cultivated an appreciation for antiques, and he can't help but ponder when he encounters the best boutiques.

Zhao Zhuo walked to the wall, admiring the paintings on the mural, and then his eyes naturally fell on the broken wall in the lower right corner, which was originally just a casual glance, but he vaguely felt that there seemed to be a touch of red in the wall.

The direction of the land temple is facing away from the sun, so even when the sun is big, it looks a little dark inside, and this crack is not too big, so it is easy to ignore.

However, Zhao Zhuo's eyesight was extraordinary, and when he looked at it again, there was indeed a touch of red in this wall, and this red was by no means a brick or something, because the red and red colors of bricks were very easy to distinguish, and the texture of this red color was not bricks.

Zhao Zhuo couldn't help but squat down, stretched out his hand and touched the crack, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

Han Duoer was bored on the side, and when she saw that Zhao Zhuo seemed to have discovered something, she hurriedly ran over, and said in surprise: "Wood, what's wrong with you?" ”

Zhao Zhuo didn't answer immediately, but asked Li Lede, who rushed over, "Village Chief, there should only be bricks in this earthen wall, right?" ”

Li Lede didn't know what was going on, and when he asked, he nodded and said: "We build houses here with bricks stacked on the inside, and a layer of mud on the outside, and they have been like this for hundreds of years." ”

Han Duoer asked again: "Wood, what are you asking?" ”

Zhao Zhuo smiled and said, "Because I found that there is a piece of wood in this crack in the wall." ”

"Wood, what's so strange about wood? Maybe it was accidentally stuffed into it during construction. Han Duoer said disappointedly.

Zhao Zhuo said with a condensed expression: "If it's ordinary wood, then it's fine, but I'm sure that this piece I touched just now is rosewood, and it's a good rosewood." ”

As soon as he said this, Li Lede and Han Duoer were taken aback, and Han Duoer was surprised: "Isn't the best rosewood worth a lot of money, how can it be stuffed into this wall?" ”

Zhao Zhuo shrugged and said, "I think so too, but ......"

Seeing Zhao Zhuo looking at the wall in difficulty, Li Lede couldn't help laughing and said, "Mr. Zhao, it's okay, let's just knock this small corner wall to pieces." ”

"That's not good, right? This wall is also an antiquity. Zhao Zhuo couldn't help but say.

Li Lede said with a smile: "This earthen wall does have a history of two or three hundred years, but we have already handed over the repair to the county, and it will not be long before we have to rebuild it. ”

Zhao Zhuo breathed a sigh of relief, thought about it, and said, "Okay, then let's knock here and take a look." ”

Han Duoer said with great interest: "I'll knock!" ”

Then she walked around the temple of the land, and when she returned, she had a sharp stone in her hand and pecked lightly at the crack.

In fact, this peck didn't make any effort at all, but the crack had reached the point where it shattered when touched, so it fell to the ground with a "bang", revealing a palm-sized hole.

From the entrance of the cave, you can clearly see that there is really a piece of black and red wood in the earthen wall, with dense brown eyes and silk-like annual ring patterns, and the stripes are shiny and beautiful.

Moreover, from the entrance of the hole, it can be seen that the bricks in this part are not laid flat, but erected, so that a small space is created inside, just enough to store things.

Zhao Zhuo smiled slightly and said, "Sure enough, it's rosewood." ”

Han Duoer said excitedly: "This brick is placed like this, it must be specially used to put things." ”

Li Lede was also excited: "God, this land temple has been here for so many years, and no one has found that there is a piece of rosewood hidden in it." ”

Zhao Zhuo said: "Village chief, it's not the red sandalwood, this red sandalwood is only one side of the box, I dare to guarantee, we can see this box when we remove these two bricks." ”

"So what are you waiting for?" Han Duoer rolled up her sleeves and began to smash the place around the crack, and then knocked the brick loose, and after removing the brick, she saw that there was indeed a rosewood box inside, Zhao Zhuo intuitively thought that this was a customized bag.

After the rosewood box was taken out, Zhao Zhuo glanced at the bottom of the space again, and found that the brick-made place was only for this box to be stored.

The eyes of the three of them fell on the box, which was only half a foot long and wide, and after taking it out, they could see the beautiful lines on the surface more clearly.

Li Lede couldn't help but hold his breath, reached out and stroked the surface of the box, and then weighed it again, thinking that it was not heavy, and couldn't help but be curious: "Mr. Zhao, what did you say was inside?" ”

Zhao Zhuo smiled slightly: "No matter what it is, it must be an antiquity, and what makes people bother to put it in it must not be an ordinary thing." ”

"It can't be a bunch of gold and silver jewelry, right? Just like it is said on TV, night pearls the size of pigeon eggs, pearls the size of eggs, and gems the size of fists......" Han Duo'er smiled excitedly, and said with a strong fantasy.

Zhao Zhuo couldn't help laughing and said, "Don't guess, don't you know what it is when you open it?" ”

After speaking, Zhao Zhuo slowly opened the rosewood box, Han Duoer and Li Lede both held their breath, they didn't even dare to breathe, their eyes were wide open, and they wanted to see what was inside.

When the box was opened, the luster in Han Duoer's eyes quickly dimmed, and she was obviously disappointed, because there was no jewelry in the box, but a blue and white plate.

Zhao Zhuo's eyes lit up, and the smile on his face instantly became much stronger, a good piece of Yuan blue and white, and the third piece of porcelain that could participate in the Dou Porcelain Festival was finally found!
