Chapter 41: Pre-Qin Treasures
I didn't say much after that, and I didn't dare to ask more, but I knew in my heart that Uncle Qiu must be very human.
We talked a few more words about Huangchao, and then Uncle Qiu asked me what I thought, and after thinking about it, I told Uncle Qiu about this morning's arrangement, and I didn't even hide the matter arranged with Guan Zhongmin.
After hearing this, Uncle Qiu's face was uncertain, and finally sighed and said, "Maybe what you did was right." There was helplessness in his tone, and he smiled again: "Brother Yong, I'll just say that I didn't see the wrong person, just by your thoughts, I am also a person who does great things, maybe I am old, and I always think about everything, but in this world, how can there be a thoughtful one." You just do what you think, uncle supports you, Da Lang also let him follow you, I will explain to him when I go back, let him follow you well, this is a blessing or a curse, there is a destiny! ”
Seeing us talking, Huowa Xu felt bored when he heard it, and then got up and walked to the blacksmith room, Uncle Qiu's ironwork room was in the courtyard, and Uncle Qiu and I didn't care about him.
Uncle Qiu's support for me warmed my heart a lot. I was about to say something, but I saw Uncle Qiu running into the house again and taking out a brocade box.
Although I feel sorry in my heart, I can't help but be happy, Uncle Qiu has another baby.
The brocade box looked beautiful, but when it was opened, the contents were dilapidated, a set of bamboo slips and a black token.
The bamboo slips were already in tatters, the strings had long since fallen off, and the bamboo slips were placed there in piles. The black token on the other side, although not rusty, also gives the impression of a long time ago.
I can't help but sigh in my heart: this thing is so ancient in the Tang Dynasty, and in modern times, it is an antique among antiques.
Uncle Qiu said: "Brother Yong, I know that you can read and break words, these two treasures, used to be my Zhou Jun, uh, an old friend surnamed Zhou specially told me that it was a good thing, and told me to keep it well, alas, but I am a rough person, I can't understand the words on it, although Da Lang knows some words, but he doesn't know any of the words on it, so I'll leave it to you." ”
may be afraid that I will dislike this thing and be worn, and said: "Brother Yong, don't look at these two things that are worn, but I listen to Zhou ...... Mr. Zhou said, it has a great history, if you still see it, you will accept it, if you can't see it, I will not force it. He said that Mr. Zhou is, always smacking, and I don't know why.
I don't like ancient things, I'm afraid there will be no one in this world who is more rare than me.
I was inexplicably excited, my hands were a little trembling, I carefully took the brocade box and said, "Don't dislike it, don't dislike it, this is a good baby, a good baby." ”
Seeing that I didn't look like a fake, Uncle Qiu couldn't help but ask curiously, "Brother Yong'er knows these words?" ”
I didn't even bother to answer Uncle Qiu's words, so I put the brocade box on the table very carefully, pinched one of the bamboo slips with only two fingers, looked at it carefully, and said for a while: "Uncle, you seem to be the treasure of Xianqin." ”
When Uncle Qiu heard this, he said with joy on his face: "It seems that Brother Yong is still powerful, and he can see at a glance that this is a treasure of the Great Qin period, and I won't tell you, my military advisor, uh, no, my friend Mr. Zhou once told me that this thing should be the overlord of Western Chu!" So I was asked to put it away again and again, if I hadn't put it carefully, I would have been burned by my babies as firewood. ”
I paid close attention to the bamboo slips, and I didn't pay much attention to what Uncle Qiu said, but when I suddenly heard the words of the overlord of Western Chu, I still trembled in my heart, the overlord of Western Chu?
Xiang Yu?
I had a thought in my heart and I was no, thinking about how the things of the overlord of Western Chu could fall into the hands of a blacksmith. But looking at Uncle Qiu's serious look, I was not embarrassed to spoil his interest, anyway, this thing is definitely an antique among antiques, to be honest, I was only admitted to the history department of the university, one is because this is unpopular, relatively easy to test. Another important reason is that I have always been interested in antiques, of course, my purpose is not very pure, mainly I want to learn more antique professional knowledge, hoping to one day be able to pick up a leak so that I can make a fortune.
Looking at these two things now, although they are not porcelain or bronze, I know that the Tang Dynasty I am in has not yet done the ancient business, at least Uncle Qiu will not do the old to deceive me.
After all, I'm not a big person, I'm not, besides, Uncle Qiu is not for money.
Thinking of this, I took a closer look at the black iron token, but saw a dragon engraved on it.
The color was shabby, but it was still legible, and the dragon was vividly depicted, with teeth and claws, as if it were about to fly out of the token.
I thought to myself, just this texture, this vintage, plus the carving workmanship, if it is placed in modern times, how can it be worth it...... Several hundred thousand? Millions? Who knows, it's worth a lot anyway.
I reached out and picked up the token, and it was definitely the weight of iron, no, it seemed to be heavier than iron, and then I felt that my hand was not cold, and it was not like iron, but it was warm, and it was like wood.
Rosewood? The color is not the same, the smell is indescribable, anyway, there is no smell of iron, there is a special aroma, but it is not an ordinary woody fragrance.
Alas, with my eyesight, I can't tell what material it is for a while, whatever, it's a good thing anyway.
I was rejoicing, Uncle Qiu said again: "Brother Yong, you see that the front is a dragon, but the back is a human figure, and the posture of this human form is very strange......
As soon as he said this, he heard Qiu Erlang shouting in the iron shop outside.
Uncle Qiu and I were both shocked, not good, Erlang had an accident.
The two of us turned around and quickly ran to the iron shop outside, and saw that Erlang was fine, just pointing at the fire baby with a stunned look.
Seeing that Erlang was fine, Uncle Qiu scolded: "Erlang, it's okay, you're screaming nonsense!" ”
Erlang still pointed at Huowa in horror and said to Uncle Qiu: "Ah Da, look ......"
Uncle Qiu and I looked in the direction Erlang pointed, and I was suddenly startled in my heart, and I couldn't help shouting: "Fire baby! Throw it away! At this moment, the blood of the whole body instantly coagulated, the body was wooden, and the fear in my heart surged.
Uncle Qiu also screamed, turned around and went to take a dustpan and shovel a dustpan of sand, which was about to be splashed on the fire baby's arm.
We were so frightened, if not for anything else, but because the fire baby was holding a fiery iron rod in his hand.
The iron rod was flaming red, obviously the iron tool that Uncle Qiu had quenched in the iron-making furnace just now, and before it could be built, it was picked up by the fire baby with his bare hands.
This doesn't burn your hands out!
But I was in a hurry, and a cold sweat flowed out instantly, and my heart said: "It's over, it's over, the arm of the fire baby is useless." ”
