Chapter 121: The Ancestors Return Home
In the darkness before dawn, only the sound of old man Diao's rapid and heavy breathing echoed in the cracks. The fat man was also a little anxious, and hurriedly turned on the flashlight in his hand, and then he saw an extremely shocking scene.
I saw the old man Diao sitting on the ground, holding the skull with both hands, putting it to his mouth and kissing it very reverently, and two lines of old tears flowed down the corners of his eyes.
Now you can confuse the fat man: what does this mean? Could it be that this skull has a lot to do with the cheap master, is it his dearest or the elder of the family?
Look at the skull again, the color is yellow and red, and it is so mutilated, only the skull remains, it must be some years old, is it the bones of the ancestors of the old man?
However, what the fat man didn't understand was how the old man Diao could identify it at once, could it be that in the dark, there was really a heart and blood vein?
A series of question marks popped up in Brother Badou's mind, and finally reminded Old Man Diao softly: "If it is really the bones of your ancestors, it is better to bury them as soon as possible." ”
"This is the remains of your ancestors!" The old man wiped his eyes, and then slapped the fat man hard, his voice was surprisingly loud.
"Let's talk well, but we don't swear." Although the fat man has always respected the old and loved the young, he also felt that the old man's words were a bit excessive, how could he casually joke about other people's ancestors!
Old man Diao shook his head vigorously, with a posture of hating iron but not steel: "Badou, if you continue to be so unlearned, I will definitely expel you from the wall!" This is no ordinary skull. In my opinion, this should be the skull of the legendary Pekingese! ”
No, it won't be - Brother Badou also opened his mouth for a long time, but he is also a half-hung dealer of cultural relics. Know the most famous unsolved case in the archaeological world.
During the Republic of China, Chinese archaeologists excavated five fossilized skulls of ancient humans in Zhoukoudian, Beijing, which caused a sensation in the world. Later, when the Anti-Japanese War broke out, these fossils were plundered by the Japanese~ army, and then they disappeared. The weak ancient country of China has lost its national treasure. I don't know how many descendants of Yan and Huang sighed.
Since then, the search for fossil skulls has never been abandoned. There are also many speculations, such as sinking to the bottom of the sea with the Awa Maru, and the people of the island who are living on the island. In short, to this day. The whereabouts of the skull have always been mysterious.
Because of this, Brother Badou didn't dare to associate the skull in front of him with the legendary national treasure no matter what.
"So, then, what about the others?" Brother Badou believed in the vision of the golden eye eagle, and he no longer pursued what he had just said. Because those ancient ancestors who lived hundreds of thousands of years ago are not exaggerated to say that they were their ancestors.
Squeak - the monkey's cry came again, it was calling the fat man to hurry up and pick up the goods.
The flashlight shone past, and it was a fossilized skull again, and the fat man believed it completely this time. There was a strange scream in his mouth: "Take it all, even the box!" ”
He had seen that the skull contained a delicate little box. It is well sealed, and when the box is opened, you can still see the flannel lining inside. Although I don't know how it ended up here, it can also be seen that the Japanese ~ army who hid the treasure here at the beginning obviously knew the value of these skulls.
For monkeys. The small box was still a bit heavy, so a few monkeys joined forces. I dragged and dragged the box to the crack, but the gap was too narrow to get out.
I had no choice but to pull out the flannel inside, and then wrapped the skull fossils one by one, exactly five, and one of the fossils was badly damaged, which was exactly the same as the information that Old Man Diao had and the imitations he had seen. At this point, the golden-eyed eagle can be completely certain: this is definitely the fossil skull of Peking Man!
Even if he is an appraisal master who is accustomed to seeing countless antiques and curiosities, it is difficult to calm the excitement and joy in his heart at this moment, because the significance of these skull fossils exceeds that of any antiques and cultural relics, and the value cannot be measured by money at all.
"Welcome back to our ancestors!" The golden-eyed eagle worshiped reverently in front of the fossilized skull, and even the fat man involuntarily knelt down to witness this exciting moment together.
Seeing the appearance of these two humans, the monkeys squeaked and screamed. Then, the monkeys who had been treated by Brother Badou also did the same, and followed them to the ground; Seeing this, the other monkeys also fell to their knees.
However, they have only learned some fur, and they have all kinds of postures, and their small eyes are still spinning around, and they are obviously not attentive and religious.
Seeing this scene, the fat man couldn't help but smile, and he helped up the old man Diao: "Do we still want to pick up the stubble?" ”
Old man Diao glared at him: "With the skull, everything else is broken copper and iron, go home, go home immediately!" ”
The fat man was very unhappy when he was trained, and muttered: "In your old eyes, it is broken copper and iron, and in my eyes, it is all white silver-"
Although he said this, he still beckoned the monkeys to call it a day and carry all the treasures in the crack to the top. Only then did I know that there was a lot of harvest throughout the night, and the fat man led the monkey up and down for more than a dozen trips, and then it was finished, and there were as many as three or five hundred pieces. Coupled with the first two harvests, I am afraid that the objects have exceeded 1,000.
When it's time to let go, you have to let go, what kind of bicycle do you want - the fat man muttered reluctantly, thinking that there were at least tens of thousands of cultural relics below, plus the yellow gold bars, he was really reluctant to leave.
However, he also knew that now that the situation was urgent, if he continued to be greedy, then it was very likely that even what he got in his hands would be confiscated in the end. There is a giving to gain, and sometimes in life you have to learn to give up.
With so many things, it's impossible to ship them back all at once. And going in and out of the nursing home is too eye-catching. Especially those skulls, after the initial excitement, the fat man came back to his senses: this is simply a hot potato!
The reason is very simple, as soon as this kind of thing is born, it will definitely cause a super earthquake, which is not something that a small person can bear, so it can only be handed over to the state. But if you turn it in. And how do you explain its origin?
The fat man pondered for a while, but he didn't come up with a foolproof solution. Seeing that the golden-eyed eagle was holding the burden of the skull in his arms and not letting go, he went up to ask for advice.
Since coming up. Old man Diao held on to this, and even when he sat there drinking water, he put the burden in his arms, as if he was afraid that he would fly away as soon as he let go. Even those calligraphy and paintings, which were so cherished before, are now abandoned.
"Everything else belongs to you, and I will handle these national treasures, and I don't need you to interfere. When the time comes, you will naturally be indispensable. The old man Diao's eyes were aggressive, and it was estimated that the fat man would dare to hit these skulls now. He's going to fight for his life.
Rare--the fat man was happy in his heart, and he was too late to be happy when he threw this big trouble to the old man Diao. And he believes that with the experience and prestige of the golden-eyed eagle. It will definitely be resolved satisfactorily. Now it's just a matter of what to do with the rest.
"When I went back, I immediately went to Beijing with my skull. I have an old mansion in Zhongzhou City, and other things are placed there for the time being. "Old man Diao has already planned for his apprentice, and this time, he will take advantage of the situation to pave a golden avenue for his apprentice.
So, leaving the rhubarb in the array, the fat man began to transport goods down the mountain. Old man Diao can't count on it. Holding the skull and not letting go, the big and small and fat men became the main force.
At the bottom of the mountain, there was already a box of goods waiting there. It was the golden-eyed eagle who called. There were two people in the car, both of whom were his former assistants, and they were definitely trustworthy.
"This is my apprentice, and you will follow him in the future." The golden-eyed eagle commanded the two middle-aged men, who were obviously stunned, and then looked happy. Congratulations in his mouth. They have been with Old Man Diao since they were teenagers, and they are all orphans adopted by Old Man Diao. and the old man Diao is also a teacher and a son. Since that time, Old Man Diao has been looking for an heir, and it has been nearly 30 years now.
Just looked at this young fat man a little, and felt that his appearance was not good, and he didn't know what ability he had to get into the eyes of the old man. But in any case, since he is the apprentice designated by Old Man Diao, he will take Old Man Diao's place in the future and become their new master.
"This is Diao Er, you can call it Second Uncle; This is Diao San, you call the third uncle. Old man Diao also introduced these two henchmen to the fat man, among them, the one who was a little short and fat, but very strong was Diao Er, and the other one whose eyes were always smiling was Diao San.
"Second uncle, third uncle-" The fat man also understood, these two are definitely trustworthy. Moreover, that Diao Lao Er is a practicing family at a glance, and when shaking hands, you can clearly feel the calluses on his hands, as well as the explosive power that is not revealed.
"In the future, it's all a family, I'm called Badou, and you can call me fat." Brother Badou greeted them with a smile, and then asked: "The second uncle and the third uncle are all alarmed, does that still have to be a boss Diao?" ”
Seeing the fat man joking happily, Diao Laosan's eyes couldn't help but light up, he was usually the best to be witty, but the second brother was rigid and boring. Look at the appearance of this fat man, he is also an optimist, and he will finally have a companion in the future. So he smiled and said: "Diao Deyi has been mixing in the capital for the past two years, when will he become the chief of staff, the third uncle will lead you to him to fight the autumn wind." ”
The fat man thought he was joking, so he made a few laughs, and then loaded the goods into the carriage. And the old man Diao entered the cab with his skull, and then refused to come out again. Diao Er followed the fat man for two more trips, and then transferred everything to the car. Don't look at Diao Er, who is one size smaller than the fat man, but he has great strength, carrying two big bags, and he is still walking like flying. The only thing that made the fat man not very satisfied was that from beginning to end, Diao Er didn't say a word, and he was indeed a stuffy gourd.
On the last trip to harvest autumn, Diao Er also went down to the bottom of the cliff and worked for a while, completely cleaning up the traces left by the fat man before evacuating.
"Children, my grandson will come back to see you in the future, and you are welcome to go to the nursing home often, nothing else, apples, bananas, ham sausages or something!" The fat man waved goodbye to the monkeys, not to mention, led by the little handsome monkey, plus the few monkeys who had been treated by him also stretched out their arms and shook - please be professional, some raise their left arms, some swing their right paws, and some simply raise both arms, this is ready to surrender?
"Good monkey!" Diao Lao Er, who had not spoken, suddenly praised loudly at this time, full of confidence, and his voice vibrated Lin Yue, but the monkeys were so shocked that they all ran back into the forest and disappeared. (To be continued) I580
