Chapter 49: The Dream Breaker
The wood carving is also a palm-high, swarthy, and depicts a man with nine snakes growing on his chin.
The craftsmanship is not refined, many details are blurred, and there is no creative sense of art, which is indeed not a valuable thing.
If you know its origin, or if you express a certain artistic style typically, then it can fetch 10,000 yuan.
But if you only know that it is an old object from hundreds of years ago, but nothing more, maybe it will only sell for a few hundred or thousands of dollars.
Appraisal is very important to an antique, and if there is no master who can tell it that it is ugly, there is no place for this thing to be worth spending a lot of money on.
Mo Qian put down the wood carving and turned to the jewelry.
Except for Zhang He and Xiao Kun, everyone else is not very knowledgeable, and when they pick things, they all look at the edge of their eyes and guess.
For example, some people choose a pearl necklace, thinking that such a large string of pearls, the size is the same, the color is white and bright, and the price of pearls alone is not expensive.
Some people pay more attention to things such as jade Buddhas, after all, antiques, the higher the artistic value, the more valuable they are. I think this Buddha carver is so good, highlighting the crystallization of ancient art, it must be good.
Some people also fancy royal items such as paperweights, thinking that they must have been used by a certain king, and when the time comes, it will be more valuable if they have been used by celebrities.
In short, everyone has their own ideas, and everyone is interested.
Even if someone likes the same thing, they will discuss with each other, this one is for you, you give me that one and so on.
No one wants to take advantage of more, everyone is a decent person, and the family knows each other well.
It's not interesting to take advantage of this little bit of cheapness, unless you can take it alone.
But is that possible? What Zhang He found was already extremely interesting enough to give it as equal distribution as possible.
Mo Qian is not very good at picking these, and after picking a few things that no one grabs, Zhang He can't stand it.
personally went out to help Mo Qian pick, and asked for two good jade pendants to be stuffed in Mo Qian's hands.
"You have to pick more of this kind of inscription and texture, otherwise how can the appraiser judge? Zhang He said.
Mo Qian smiled, not impressed.
"I've made a lot of money on such a trip to the sea, and these things plus the share of gold and silver and the previous seven million, I can get almost 30 million, right? It's enough for me to use for a long time, so what can I do with a few million?"
Zhang He shook his head and said: "If there are so many millions, there will naturally be millions of uses, and you will be too easy to be satisfied." ”
Mo Qian smiled: "I didn't have much appetite, and I was not satisfied with picking up 30 million for nothing, so how can I be satisfied?"
"yes, we're just picking up money this time. A few of us still have to move the relationship, you guy is pure white pickup. Zhang He pointed at Mo Qian and smiled.
Xiao Kun smiled: "No, I feel that I am too lost, I will help you auction these things, and you all have to give me a commission." ”
Mo Qian smiled: "It doesn't matter, how much you should mention, just mention as much as you want." ”
"Think about it carefully, you guy is really the emperor of Europe, since you got on the ship, our luck has been so good, we have encountered surprises frequently, we have never had such a good thing when we go to sea before. You can find pearls in the sea, and the biggest one is for you. Now that you have found the treasure, it is also you and Zhang He, and it is good to play cards. Xiao Kun said.
Mo Qian hurriedly said: "The best luck is to live, okay, if you don't bump into me, how can I get on your ship?"
Saying that, he looked at Zhang He and said: "By the way, Zhang He, these things can be regarded as you alone found them, everyone just collects money, you have found so many valuable things this time, who in the navigation circle in the future, who doesn't know you?"
Zhang He was stunned and said, "This ...... Isn't that okay?"
Mo Qian said to everyone: "What do you say?"
Everyone looked at each other twice and said, "It doesn't matter, we don't play deeply in the nautical circle, and he is the only one who is in the middle two." ”
Xiao Kun also said: "It doesn't matter if the rest matters, anyway, my family bought this crown from someone else." ”
In the end, everyone unified their voices and distributed their benefits.
Zhang He is the most profitable, he is about the same as everyone else, and he has also earned fame.
Xiao Kun also has a lot, although he only picked two pieces of jewelry, but he got the most precious priceless treasure.
Among the rest, it is basically equally distributed, and it seems that the share is about the same.
However, it was later identified that there must be fewer people and more people, among whom Mo Qian must have the least money.
Except for Zhang He who gave him two good pieces of jewelry, he picked the rest of others.
Including the wood carving, no one was too lazy to ask for it, and in the end he consciously got it.
Everyone saw this, and on the way back, they completely recognized his integration into this circle.
......
In the evening, Mo Qian returned to his guest room, put the wood carving at the head of the bed, and lay down to sleep.
Everyone wrote down what they shared, and they all went through Xiao Kun's channel for auction.
As for this wood carving, Xiao Kun said that he didn't even have the qualifications to go to the auction house, so he would just find an antique shop and sell it when the time came.
In his deep sleep, Mo Qian rarely dreamed.
He hadn't dreamed in days, and that night, Leng Buding had a nightmare.
It was on a dark sea, and Mo Qian was immersed in the sea, constantly sinking.
Dreams have no beginning, and Mo Qian doesn't know, and he doesn't think about why he sank in the sea.
He just wanted to surface, he just wanted to breathe freely, but no, he just kept sinking.
It is as if a person who is trapped in a great maelstrom and cannot extricate himself is forced to sink into the abyss of darkness.
Mo struggled to launch something, but he had nothing, nothing but sea water around him.
Even if he controlled the surging sea water around him, he couldn't resist the power that had to drag him into the abyss at this moment.
The pitch-black depths of the sea, like a dark mouth, are constantly engulfing Mo Qiao.
Mo choked on the water in pain, mouthful after mouthful, until the last trace of gas in his lungs was expelled, filled with seawater, and he was still falling.
He struggled harder and harder, for the pain did not lessen in the slightest, but because the deeper he sank, the more terrifying the pressure became.
Musculoskeletal organs were being crushed by force, and fear and despair were tormenting him madly.
What kind of torment is it to suffocate for a long time and not die? What kind of torture is it to exert enough pressure to inflict iron on the human body, and it will only get worse and worse?
In the dark, he couldn't see the surface of the sea at all, and he felt like he had fallen thousands of meters into the deep sea.
He sank so fast that he couldn't even sink to the bottom, this deep sea was like an endless abyss, not to mention the bottom of the sea, there was not even a stone.
There are no fish, and there are any, as if it were just seawater.
It can only go deeper and deeper.
Mo was in so much pain that he couldn't die, he struggled frantically, and he just wanted to relieve the pain a little.
Suddenly, a wisp of air suddenly appeared in the depths of the ocean.
The sudden appearance of air did not exist in the form of bubbles in the sea, but as if in the dark background, an eraser wiped a blank space.
"Boom!"
Almost at the same time, the entire endless sea shattered.
Mo Qian can be sure that it is a kind of ruin, as if the earth has fallen into a black hole.
Everything suddenly seemed to turn off the screen, fell into a line, and disappeared in an instant.
"Uh......"
Mo Qian opened his eyes suddenly, and sat up from the bed.
He breathed greedily into the air, feeling weak.
Looking at the time, it was still the middle of the night.
"It turned out to be a dream......," Mo Qian lay down on the bed relaxedly.
"By the way, if I dream, do I have a designated landing point? And I breathe when I sleep, will the air be shot into the dream?"
I was still a little dazed when I woke up, but thinking of this, Mo Qian was completely awake.
He frantically recalled the details of the dream, and although everything was blurry, he remembered the general thing.
"In the illusory dream, the real material appears, and the whole dream ...... Collapsed?"
"But how do I feel like I've been drowning for a long time...... Yes, maybe my long drowning was just my brain thinking too fast, in fact, I had this dream for less than a few seconds. ”
Thinking of this, Mo Qian scratched his head, and he realized that maybe he would not have a long dream in the future.
Basically, if you dream for a second or two, you will directly destroy the dream because you exhale.
Even if you have a dream for a long time, it is the content of the dream itself that spans a long time.
"Tsk, no matter what dreams you have in the future, you will interrupt them by yourself. ”
"I can't finish dreaming anymore......"
......
