Chapter Eighty-Seven: One After the Other
This sentence instantly ignited the enthusiasm of several teams on the ship that had not yet been launched, and they looked like they couldn't wait. After getting Lao Yin's consent, he went directly into the water.
I was very unhappy in my heart, and we were in the first group but there was nothing, but after I helped them pump the sand, the babies all appeared, isn't this unlucky?
After they got into the water, I said to Lao Yin, "Is this the edict of Qin Shi Huang's weights and measures?"
He shook his head: "It shouldn't be, the edict of the twenty-sixth year of Qin Shi Huang is not this content, it is written: In the twenty-sixth year, the emperor merged with the princes of the world, and the head of Qianshou Da'an was named the emperor. It's quite a bit different from ours, and it doesn't match a word. ”
"Why do you remember it so well?"
"Lao Tzu is well-informed, can he compare with you? And the shape is not the same, this is a square, the board is rectangular with holes around it. This era should be from the Western Han Dynasty. ”
After listening to it, I was a little disappointed, the cultural relics of the Western Han Dynasty were more than those of the Qin Dynasty, and the value of cultural relics became inverse.
However, just as we were discussing the three things in front of us, there was another exclamation from the side, and we looked up to see a long strip sticking out of the water, also glowing with a turquoise patina.
Several people on the boat hurriedly stepped forward to pick it up, and the three people under the water worked together to lift the thing out of the water and hand it to the hands of the team members on the boat.
I saw it clearly, it was like the stick of the boss's stool, so wide, so thick, but at least two benches in length.
"Be careful, be careful!" Lao Yin commanded and shouted from the side. Everyone carried this behemoth to the boat with all hands and feet, and they couldn't put it on the table, so Lao Yin asked a few people not to do anything else and hold on.
When those divers got on the boat, Lao Yin was ready to call it a day early and hurry up to bring these good things back first. However, the man who had just boarded the boat said, "Down, there's more!"
But the space on the ship was almost taken up by this huge bronze vessel, and any good treasures could only come back in the afternoon.
When we got back to shore, we were all obviously excited and scrambled to get all these guys back to the station. After a long observation, we found that there are also characters on this large bronze bench, and the content and calligraphy style are almost the same as those on the board, and they should be from the same period. It's just that there is rust and it is difficult to identify.
After coming back, Lao Yin first sent a messenger to Jinshi Institute, asking him to send someone over to bring the cultural relics back, otherwise it would be too eye-catching here. Then he began to write letters to his brothers and friends. Ask if you've ever seen this style of thing, and if you know what it is.
Maybe he asked around among the experts he knew, and no one could tell what it was from his description. But Lao Yin was even happier, indeed, this at least showed a problem - these are rare and rare objects. The rarer it is, the more significant it is discovered.
In the afternoon, we happily drove the boat to the lake. Before it was my turn to get into the water, I was already a little impatient.
Another group of people went into the water, and we all waited on the boat, because the last group of people who came up in the morning also mentioned "there is still one down there", which aroused our curiosity and desire to learn, how much more was there?
The waiting time is always the saddest. Suddenly, several figures appeared in the murky water, and soon rushed out of the water, but we didn't want to look at the joyful expressions on their faces at all, we just wanted to see what they were still holding in their hands.
One by one, they raised their hands, and in their hands were thicker and larger brass rings than the brass ring in the morning, one by one, and the heaviest one lifted it out of the water with great difficulty.
When they got on the boat, there was a group of team members who couldn't wait to go down, we carefully studied these three things, one of the lettering was relatively well preserved, the words were basically complete, but unfortunately the ship plus I was half-hung for the ancient characters, everyone even guessed with Meng, and finally recognized some of the above content, roughly: "The Yellow Emperor ...... Emperor Yu's first ...... Ji Wuchen ...... Destiny has ...... Longevity...... Isolaw Weights and Measures...... Dragons in ...... All the nations of the world...... Future generations...... 100 million years. ”
However, this is not much progress compared to the morning, and there is still not much to sort out from the broken language. But when it comes to weights and measures, I always think it has something to do with Qin Shi Huang.
But then things broke my mind, because the new group of people got a lot of things. The style of the cultural relics has changed, from these few bronze giants, to many exquisite small pieces, how many specifics, anyway, they were carried up in small sacks, full of sacks, poured into the basin of water clanging. Everyone on the ship couldn't help but cry, I'm afraid I haven't seen much of this scene in my life, gold, silver, copper, jade, all glowing with different lights, and they were poured out like inverted clams.
I can't help but wonder what kind of place this well is, and how can there be so many treasures in it? Although the gold and stone should not be "digging treasures" as the first purpose, but seeing so many legally unearthed cultural relics, who can not be excited.
After waiting dryly on the boat for a long time, watching the waves of team members "return with a full load", I wanted to go down and take a look. Finally it was time for us to be in the group, and I couldn't wait to get on board with the equipment, grab the sack, and dive into the water.
The well has been dug down for a while, and now standing at the mouth of the well you can't see anything, so someone has to go into it. I couldn't wait to swim in, and after two or three meters of diving, I saw the mud and sand in front of me.
However, what about artifacts? Just now they were carrying bags up one by one, why is there nothing here? We're not in the wrong place, are we?
I reached in and dug it out, and there was nothing but mud and sand, and I was surprised, and went back to the mouth of the well and gestured to the two men, and told them that I had found nothing, and the other man looked at me like this, and he went down, and came up empty-handed. So I turned on the sand pump and started pumping sand.
Looking at the watch, we were supposed to go up in five minutes, so I dived down again to look, and it turned out that there was still nothing.
Helplessly, when the time came, we had to turn off the pump and float empty-handed.
When I got to the surface, I had just poked my head out when the man in the boat stuck out and asked, "How much do you get?"
I was embarrassed to ask this question.
Lao Yin saw the three of us empty bags and said, "Why are you three so unlucky?"
"There's mud and sand underneath it, I can't help it, you can see that the ones that come up are clean, not even tall, so it's no wonder that we can't say it. It's the guys in front of you who dig too clean. ”
"Alright, take off your gear and rest for a while, and watch how others perform."
I sat on the side very unconvinced, I didn't believe it, could it be that we should dig the muddy water between the two layers of treasures?
However, the reality is often so cruel that people are so angry that they want to jump into the river. After the next team went down, they also turned on the sand pump, but it was turned off after a while.
I thought to myself, this can't be a discovery, right? didn't wait for a while, three people surfaced at the same time, obviously holding a big guy in their hands, sure enough, the three of them worked together to lift things out of the water, this thing I know, a huge bronze tripod! The diameter of this tripod is no less than fifty centimeters, which is very heavy, and two people went down to help them send the tripod to the ship together.
I'm completely speechless this time, it's really that I have no fate, and I'm working hard to make wedding dresses for others.
To say that the previous bronzes are very "mysterious", full of unsolved mysteries, the tripod type is very familiar to us, but such a big one, there should not be much, like what big Keding and the like, the diameter is less than 80 cm, this tripod carefully measured more than the first sight of the fifty centimeters.
The new diver went into the water again, and Lao Yin forgot about the stubble with me just now, and was very happy at the discovery of this bronze heavy weapon. He excitedly wrote to the Jinshi Institute, as if shouting to the other head: "Arrange a big car, ask for a big car!" Use the cart to pull things back! I looked at his excitement, but I was quite disappointed.
In the evening, Lao Yin asked the village cadres to help arrange a few people to patrol near the location of the well, and the fishermen rushed to come when they heard that they were given 200 a night. In the end, Lao Yin picked a few old men who were more familiar with him and let them go.
I don't understand: "Don't you want to be in the prime of life, let so many old men go on patrol and find that the bad guys can beat it?"
"You still know too little, they are honest at this age, and they won't make a fortune on their own. Besides, if you find a problem in such a big place, you can hear it by calling people directly, and you can call us back in time, so how can there be any danger. ”
After waiting for a long time at the station, the carriage of the Jinshi Institute finally arrived, this is definitely the most imposing civilian "transport vehicle" I have ever seen, the leaders of the Jinshi Institute were afraid of accidents, so they specially asked the Yamen to send people with armed followers, and under their surveillance, all the cultural relics were carried onto the car as if they were being "enslaved", which made people very unhappy.
But these people were also young people of our age, and we were very happy when we talked about it at dinner, and it was essential for us to drink, but neither the groom nor the servant touched the glass for safety.
After sending off the cart, we gradually ended the carnival, vomiting what should be spitting, lying down, and packing up.
I didn't drink too much because I was very unhappy with my luck today, and I lay in bed thinking about a question - why is there so many things in this well?
