Chapter Twenty-Six: Walking on Frost and Ice
I thought it would be a bunch of valuables, but I never thought it was some bronzes, some of them seem to be abundant in the Western Zhou Dynasty, that is, they were used to pour wine in that period, and the wine vessels that were probably similar to wine jugs, the so-called staggered staggering is this meaning, and it looks like the shape of four-legged birds and beasts, I don't know whether it is the end of the Shang Dynasty or the Western Zhou Dynasty, in short, it is definitely a precious thing.
The reason why I recognize it is because I did a care task for a museum to beware of stealing treasures, and I was introduced by the curator at that time, and I was a little impressed.
And these bronzes, most of them are squirts, knights, horns and the like, if it is called modern, it is a bunch of cups, cough cough, it seems quite tragic to say this, that is, a set of drinking utensils, nothing special, and I just thought of why it is so heavy, I don't know which museum these soldiers stole from and secretly put here.
But I want to steal our ancient famous weapons, and I really deserve to be swallowed by snakes, and I will do this kind of thing, and I will definitely kill myself if I do many injustices.
The girls couldn't hide their disappointment, they thought there would be some gold, silver and jewelry, but they didn't expect that it was these old people who made it, and their hopes were dashed.
"What! After a long time, we have come up with these broken copper and iron, we are not archaeological, and now we are trapped waiting to die, even if we take some gold, silver and jewelry to comfort ourselves, there is nothing, only these heavy and impractical things, it is better to let it continue to be buried! Song Yingchun cried with a sad face.
"Forget it, take it back, it's a cultural relic, if it can be rescued back, it's good to be able to hand it back, it's really not going back, let's use it as a cooking utensil, it's not bad." I said.
"I think this is also good news, at least, so many treasures have been lost, and there will definitely be people in the country who will send someone to find them, if they have a little ability, they can find clues, and they may be able to go ashore to find us, which increases our chances of being rescued." Bai Lu said.
"Sister Bai Lu is right, think about everything in a positive way, and bad things can become good things." Yun Wen said.
Bai Lu smiled at Yun Wen in response.
I took out all the items and saw how many things there were, only three in total, but this was put in a pawn shop or an auction house by people from abroad, and it might be sold for hundreds of millions, which is indeed a treasure.
At the end of the box, there was a piece of brown paper, which we took out, with the marks on it, the south, south, west, and latitude, and the latitude and longitude, and a plan drawn on it, but the figure was very simple, basically a few lines were formed, and it could barely be seen that it was an island, and some curved and sharp patterns represented some mountain peaks.
And there are some English written near the lines, which also indicate some characteristics.
"Yunwen, can you translate it? There's something written on it, and there's a sentence written on the north side of the drawing. I said.
Yun Wen took the piece of paper and said: "This indicates the southeast, northwest, longitude and latitude, as well as the meaning of the lines, such as mountains, rivers, swamps, etc., basically making a mark on the island, which seems to be very clear about the island, and the text on the back is a simple sentence, saying: 'Towards the final treasure'." ”
"Arcana? What Arcana? Could it be that the purpose of those GIs on the island was to hunt for treasure, not to take refuge? I asked.
"It is possible that they came prepared, and planned to stay for a long time in search of treasures, otherwise who would have deliberately brought wheat seeds with them when they fled, and they were expected to flee, and they would flee to a desert island, so purposefully?" Bai Lu said.
"It seems that these GIs are some organizations that do smuggling black goods, and they are not regular, and they are innocent." I said.
Now that I think of the process of discovering the treasure chest yesterday, I can deduce a little about something, since the treasure and the map are placed in the chest, and the treasure chest is roughly hidden, which means that the author of the diary temporarily hid it after knowing that his life would not last long, so there are many flaws, and I am keenly aware of it.
"The map is so detailed, it looks like they've been here more than once." Yun Wen said.
"No, it's made with a certain song map as a reference, you can see it clearly at a glance, I don't understand it, it's really a hillbilly." Song Yingchun said.
In this way, we have generally figured out all the ins and outs, including the origins of the GIs and the diary writers, and their purposes, and the only thing we don't know is the red dot on the map, what is inside, so that they have worked tirelessly to come to this reckless place, and lose their lives.
But apart from speculation and curiosity, we have no other way to verify, after all, Bigfoot lives on that mountain, if we can't think about it, we can explore it, but we want to live well and wait until rescue, so those things can only be put on hold for the time being, not to think about it, we all know this deeply.
"One of you takes a bronze vessel, I will carry the box, and bring the things back first, this wooden box can be used to store food, and put fish and the like in it, so that it will not be taken away by wild beasts at night, which is an extra layer of protection." I said.
"Well, indeed, I'll have some kneaded camphor leaf balls in it to prevent termites and bugs or anything like that." Bai Lu said.
Let's just do it, everyone moved the things back to the old house of Huoquan, everyone took a break, packed up, and waited for me to arrange the task.
"The treasure chest is for the time being, the next thing we have to be busy with is to stock up on winter food, the cold wind is getting colder and colder recently, just went out to see, the fallen leaves have become more and more tired, it has reached late autumn, you have to prepare early, the so-called 'frost and ice', plan in advance, in order to prevent trouble." I said.
"That's right, storing food for the winter is a necessity right now, and we should shift the focus back from those scavenger hunts." Song Bailu said.
The other two girls nodded their heads in approval.
"Then now I'll arrange today's tasks, Yunwen and Yingchun in a while, you are responsible for taking care of the house, protecting the food, preparing the dry firewood to be burned tonight, Bai Lu and I are responsible for collecting the food, if it is late, you will immediately light the fire, so as not to invade the beasts, fence it, and blow the whistle immediately in case of emergency, do you understand?" I asked.
So Song Bailu and I hurriedly went out to find food, but this forest has become more and more sluggish, more depressed than when it came, almost lifeless, those herbs and the like, I am afraid that it is not easy to get, so we went to collect some mountain dates, found a very small number of wild vegetable roots, seeing that the sky is about to darken, a day will be in vain, but there is very little food, immediately frustrated.
"Brother Zhou Bo, now it's time to hibernate and prepare to hibernate, and hide what should be hidden, winter is coming, there is a shortage of materials here, maybe even the mountain fruit is not long, a few days ago I picked up some pine cones, mountain chestnuts and the like, just looked for a circle, and there is no more, what do you say? Will we survive this winter? Bai Lu asked.
"I really can't do it, I can only go to the sea to fish, it's just cold." I said.
"That's not going to work, your legs will be cold, and if you fall ill and lose your mobility, we'll be completely hopeless." Bai Lu said.
Bai Lu and I were at a loss, and as we walked, we were suddenly attracted by a tree, and it seemed to be our answer!
I saw that there were mushrooms in the shape of small pu fans growing in this tree, and several layers of them looked like black ears growing on the tree, exuding a familiar smell.
Bai Lu and I looked at each other and shouted at the same time, "Black fungus! ”
He laughed at the same time.
