Chapter Eighty-Four: The Fish Intestine Sword
Due to the low terrain of Confucian Temple Street and the aging of the urban drainage system, the phenomenon of water accumulation after rain is more serious. The www.biquge.info is now more than an hour after the rain, and half of the streets of Confucian Temple Street are still soaked in water, but there is no water in the higher ground in the middle of the street.
When he came to the middle section of Confucian Temple Street, Wang Yonghuan's eyes swept around, and found that there were not many people tonight, whether it was setting up stalls or lounging, it was a sharp decrease compared to the previous two days. This may have something to do with the fact that some people are staying at home after the heavy rain, after all, the temperature is still low after the rain.
When Wang Yonghuan walked to the middle of the street, Big Brother Zhang Guang had already set up a stall. At this stage, Zhang Guang came to set up a stall almost every day, as long as it didn't rain heavily, he came.
Wang Yonghuan felt that Zhang Guang's family really encountered a place to use money, and the amount of money needed was still large. Roughly calculated for him, the price of the antiquities sold from his stall these days is almost thirty or forty thousand, but it seems that there is still a considerable gap. Zhang Guang used the calculator to calculate something from time to time, and every time he finished the calculation, a trace of sadness crept up on his face.
Wang Yonghuan asked several times, is there a shortage of money? How much is missing? He also said that he had some money here, and if he didn't have enough, he could lend it to Zhang Guang.
But Zhang Guang always shook his head at Wang Yonghuan, saying that there was no need to bother, he could raise the poor money. If he really can't do it, it will be enough for him to take out one of the more precious antiquities at home and sell it.
Today, Zhang Guang came early, and there were already several people squatting or standing at his booth.
When Wang Yonghuan came to the side, he saw a foreigner talking with Zhang Guang with a southern accent.
The southerner pointed to an object on the stall and said, "Brother, I want this one, but the price of 150,000 yuan you paid is too high, this sword is not worth that much, 50,000 yuan is the normal price." If you take a closer look, this sword is definitely not the antiquities of the Qin Dynasty you are talking about, it should be an object of the Ming Dynasty, and the objects of the Ming Dynasty are at most 50,000 yuan. ”
Wang Yonghuan heard what the southerners said, and couldn't help but look at the stall. I don't know if I don't see it, and I'm shocked when I see it. I saw a short sword only about one foot five in the middle of the stall, and the bronze scabbard was rusty, with a sense of historical vicissitudes in its simplicity. The hilt is short, with a yellow silky texture entwined around it.
This short sword is very close to the fish intestine sword that Wang Yonghuan has been looking for everywhere, both in terms of style and age.
This kid was shocked in his heart, "Could it be that this is the fish intestine sword I have been waiting for, and this is what Zhang Guang said about the treasures in the family?" ”
At this time, Zhang Guang replied in a deep voice: "This gentleman, you take a closer look at this sword, this is the fish intestine sword of the Qin Dynasty, and it is the weapon used by Jing Ke when he assassinated the King of Qin, which has been handed down to the present and is of immeasurable value." If it weren't for the family's urgent need for money, I wouldn't have taken it out, 150,000 yuan, only low. If you don't believe me, go find someone who understands and ask. ”
"Understand people, yo, coincidentally, I happen to have an understanding person today, this is an expert from your provincial antiquities and cultural center. I just invited someone to give a lecture in our company, so I asked him to come and see, if it is really the fish intestine sword of the Qin Dynasty, let alone 150,000, it is 200,000, I want it too. ”
As he spoke, the southerner turned around and shouted to a Chinese-made Toyota sedan in the distance: "Director Li, please come down, there is an object here, I would like you to identify the age of this object." ”
After a while, the car door opened, and a middle-aged man in his forties came out of it, slightly fat, about 1.7 meters. He wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his nose, a dark black suit, and shiny leather shoes under his feet.
At that time, the so-called experts were not as numerous and as rotten as they are now. No matter what program, no matter what region, experts grab a handful, and they can't tell the real from the fake.
At the end of the 80s in China, there were still very few experts, and they were very authoritative.
I saw this gold wire glasses expert walking over slowly, unhurried, the expert was full of style, giving people a very trusting and calm feeling.
The expert walked to the booth and said in a low baritone with a magnetic voice: "Mr. Zhao, how many times have I told you, there are many fake antiquities on this Confucian Temple Street, which are deceiving you who love ancient objects like you, what do you fancy here?" Stop being deceived again. ”
When he heard the first sentence of this expert, how could Wang Yonghuan feel so embarrassed, as if there was a false meaning in this baritone, as if a person was deliberately pretending to be this tone.
"Director Li, the designation of this object is true, but I still can't judge the age accurately, so I would like to ask you to check and palm." The southerner said respectfully, pointing to the fish intestine sword on the stall.
"Ah, you're so sure, then I'll have to take a closer look." When the expert heard the southerners say this, they looked interested. Squatted down, picked up the fish intestine sword from the stall, and looked at it carefully.
The gold-wire glasses expert picked up the fish intestine sword, first slowly rubbed his fingers from the tip of the scabbard to the hilt, and felt the texture of the fish intestine sword. Then he took out a magnifying glass and carefully observed the lines on the scabbard. From the touch of seeing, the expert's style is unmistakable.
The expert's left hand lightly pressed the sword's strain, and with a soft "snort", the sword body left the scabbard. But I saw a ray of sword light flashing out of the scabbard, bright and bright. The crystal clear sword body is like a pool of autumn water, emitting a dazzling cold light under the illumination of the setting sun, a peerless divine weapon.
The body of the sword is curved like a fish intestine, and there is a thin blood-red line faintly in the middle of the sword body, which appears and disappears from time to time, in the reflection of the sun, like a trace of saliva at the corner of the demon's mouth, and the bright light flashes with crystal, so bloodthirsty, so vicious. Just from the slightest glimmer of this reflection, I don't know how many people's blood and lives this fish intestine short sword has drunk?
As soon as the fish intestine sword came out of the sheath, everyone present couldn't help but shout "good sword". And a man in his forties in a suit standing next to Wang Yonghuan had a particularly loud voice.
The expert listened to everyone's applause, looked very disdainful, and gently "hummed" with his nose. The index finger of his right hand flicked the sword body slightly, and he listened to the "buzzing" sound of the sword body.
The expert looked up at Zhang Guang calmly and said, "The sword is a good sword, but it is not a thing of the Qin Dynasty, it should be modern." ”
As soon as Zhang Guang heard what the expert said, he was a little anxious and was about to refute.
As soon as the expert raised his hand, he stopped Zhang Guang and said: "Don't worry, you listen to me give you an analysis and analysis, why it is not a thing of the Qin Dynasty." ”
