Chapter 7 The will to fall into battle, there is death and no life
I picked up the broken bowl and vase that Lao Hei brought out of the tomb, and there was nothing to see in the broken bowl, it was the base of the everlasting lamp used to attract souls in front of the coffin, and there was still a precipitate of paraffin at the bottom of the bowl.
The white bowl mouth, black walls, and earthy yellow interior of the bowl are still used by the locals as funeral utensils.
The vase has been wiped by the old black, except for some soil stains at the bottom, almost the same as brand new, I wiped it vigorously with a wet towel dipped in white wine, the bottom of the paragraph is clearly visible, there are six big characters in regular script: "Ming Chenghua year", the vase is milky white like a piece of white jade, the overall glass layer is smooth and soft, the hand feels a sweet and greasy taste, faintly you can see the white pattern, it seems to be a peony or some other flower, I look at the sky side light, with my hand to turn the vase to see clearly what kind of flower this is, but found that there was a dragon pattern faintly in the floating layer of the bottle.
Since ancient times, the dragon pattern is mostly the way of the emperor, and the common people privately make dragon-related utensils, which are to raid the family and destroy the clan. In the Ming and Qing dynasties, all the utensils related to dragons were produced by official kilns.
It can be seen that this porcelain vase must have also been fired in the official kiln. The small cemetery actually dug up such a royal article, and I don't know if it is a blessing or a curse. At the very least, it can be concluded that the owner of this tomb has a lot of background.
I secretly rejoiced in my heart, maybe it was the ancestral tomb of a dynasty official, casually below is tens of thousands of catties of gold jewelry, no matter how bad it is, dozens of catties of gold * one * book * read * novel xstxt article can still be had.
Lao Hei boiled hot water, and the two of us washed the sludge on our bodies, changed into refreshing clothes, and swept away the gloom caused by the strange atmosphere of the cemetery just now. It was getting dark, but the rain was getting heavier and heavier, so Lao Hei proposed to go to the town to drink some wine and get two meat dishes to replenish his body. I raised my hands in agreement, for the sake of my life-saving grace for him today, this meal should naturally be treated to him, otherwise I would be too sorry for the ancestors of their old Wang family. So we set off in his Wuling Light minivan.
On the way, Lao Hei held the steering wheel and asked me: "Second brother, the porcelain bottle is really from the Ming Dynasty?" ”
I said, "Well, the inscription is clearly written, and with the inscription on the tombstone, it is basically certain that it is a tomb of the Ming Dynasty." ”
Lao Hei said: "It seems that the two of us are going to send the rhythm, how much can you sell?" ”
I said, "At least hundreds of thousands, I usually look at it in museums, but when I touch it with my own hands, I don't know the market." The key is that I don't dare to sell it now, and if the things that have just been unearthed are found out by the Public Security Bureau, we both have to go to prison. Do you know what it's called? Dig the corners of the socialist wall, and dig them all into the ancestral graves! ”
Lao Hei turned his head and looked at me with a surprised expression: "So serious? Then you can't help but sell it and put it at home as an ornament. ”
"Look at the road! Look at the road. I said, "It's not like the decorations, do you know how many years the key cultural relics are sentent?" Five years to ten years or less, this is still a non-hanging level of cultural relics, like this Ming Chenghua porcelain, in case it is a national treasure, we both have to eat guns. ”
Lao Hei snorted and said, "Ah, you don't have to scare me, I'm a coward. Anyway, I'm going down again tomorrow, I see that there are still a few things in the mud, it's too dark to touch it, and I'll bring a flashlight down tomorrow. It's okay, you just pick up my help on it, and when I get the stuff up, we will each guarantee a lot of your dividends. ”
I said solemnly: "What am I scaring you for, you brainless foodie, is the little master that kind of person!" I mean, touch the thing first and then think about how to sell it next. It's too early to start tomorrow, you still need a gun to go into battle, and you have to buy a pen when you go to the exam, let alone a tomb robbery? We have to prepare some equipment for tomb robbery to check the information before going down, knowing that we will not be defeated in a hundred battles, which is also in case of accidents. Today is your luck, if the cave really collapsed and buried you in it, you will now drink the ghost soup. Tomorrow you're going to get some planks to fix the hole, and then you won't collapse and cover us in it. Go buy a few black donkey hooves, it is said that that thing can descend zombies, the Taoist temple of Tianqi Palace has a Taoist priest who subdues demons, buy a soul bell demon sword or something, anyway, be prepared, in case there are really ghosts, let's also be prepared with both hands. I'll go to my aunt's house to ask for two ghost talismans, don't worry about the spirit or not, and go to the blacksmith shop to see if I can hit the Luoyang shovel. ”
Lao Hei said excitedly: "Hehe, the three treasures of tomb robbery: Luoyang shovel, Li Minhao, Wang Da Hammer, your little abacus is crackling, it turns out that you have a long-term plan." ”
It is said that it is Lee Min Ho, but it is actually a cross pickaxe used in life, with two pointed ends, also called a foreign pickaxe. Needless to say, Wang Da Hammer is everywhere on the construction site, and it is a necessary artifact for professional wall breaking and road demolition.
It was pitch black outside the car window, and I pondered: "This cemetery is not small, I didn't pay attention to it some time ago, I took a few looks today, it should be a large tomb group, dig a few more, sell a few million, and God will treat us well, if this business is done, we will have no worries about food and clothing and wealth for a lifetime in the future." The chief engineer of the Ring Road, give me a mayor, and don't do it. ”
Lao Hei grinned: "This is a good idea, just listen to you, after finishing this ticket, I will get a BMW to drive." ”
I said, "Look at your villain's virtues, don't talk about driving a BMW, you can choose Ferrari." I really never dreamed that one day the little master would be able to drill the grave and rob the tomb to make a living without virtue. Do you say you've ever eaten leopard gall and drunk lion urine? Are you not scared at all today? ”
Lao Hei seemed to be looking forward to a better life in the future, and laughed non-stop: "Come on, those who engage in archaeology are more immoral than us, not to mention the burial goods, but also to dismantle the bones of the dead and take them out for study, and then go to the exhibition like a monkey to let more people watch." If you think like this, compared to those archaeological ones, we are called promoting justice. Me, when I was a child, there was a crematorium next to my house, and every day when I went out was a mourning hall for lying corpses, and I saw too many dead people, besides, you forgot my college major? Born in a medical school, I haven't touched any corpses. But today is really terrifying, and I can't see my fingers in the dark. ”
"Then why don't you devote yourself to the medical cause to benefit the masses, you are so black, you become a doctor and kill people without blinking. No matter how bad it is to graduate, how good is it to mix up with Mr. Pig Killer? Every day, I squat on the construction site with our little fart to dry the oil, and suffer foreign crimes. ”
Lao Hei said helplessly: "You are also a top student in a first-class university, don't you also bask in the sun with me, Mr. Pig Killer?" It's not bad luck, these days, no one looks at your education at all, the boss only looks at the background, but unfortunately I only have the back, and I can't beat the rich second generation to beat the rich and handsome. ”
The construction site of our construction is far from the city, and there are almost no vehicles on this remote provincial road, and the dark road in the distance gradually engulfs the small van, and also swallows me and Lao Hei.
I'm just an ordinary person, although my parents are a little crazy, but the family is quite warm, I grew up with my grandmother, and I am somewhat obedient. After graduating, my family arranged for me to work in this construction team, and I thought that I would go all the way to the black and white temples on the road of the construction team.
And Lao Hei, the untimely death of his mother made him young and uninhibited, which does not mean that he has achieved nothing, on the contrary, he has won the appreciation of the leaders on the construction site with his incorruptible tongue, and in a few years, he will be able to appreciate and raise his salary, marry Bai Fumei, and become the CEO to the peak of his life.
We who have no worries about food and clothing may never understand why we broke the law and embarked on the journey of no return to robbing tombs.
I was silent for a while, and said: "Life is like a train track, you have to go through the mountains no matter how rugged the mountain road is, fate is like a train, you have to stop for a while where you want to stop, God is destined to do whatever you do, you can't hide." Sometimes I think, it's not worth it for a person to live a lifetime, and it's really worth running around for money all day long, one day I'm really fed up, get two bottles of diazepam and drink it, hehe, the world, go you! I don't serve anymore. ”
Lao Hei hurriedly said: "What are you talking about, our revolution has not yet succeeded, so we are waiting to soar." Say this frustrating thing now, aren't you afraid of being disadvantaged? Tomorrow, the big ticket of the safflower flower is waiting for you, and it is difficult to die. In case you dig out a Terracotta Army, haha, when you think about it, it's like a flower. ”
I said, "Don't fantasize, I don't know if you can dig out the treasure, tell me what you saw when you entered the tomb?" See the coffin? What does the coffin look like? ”
Lao Hei said: "The coffin seems to be seen, but the black can't be seen clearly, it feels very big, this porcelain bottle is at my feet, I stepped on it when I fell, I went to pick up the bottle, and found that there were several pieces in the mud next to it, and I rushed up when you were in a hurry, and I didn't bring it." ”
I was silent for a while, and then said, "The will to fall into battle, whether you die or live, do it the night after tomorrow, and it's so decided." ”
We drank a lot that night, and the drunken old black had to drive, and he excitedly hugged the steering wheel and shouted to me, "Second brother, I'll teach you how to fly a plane."
Then the old black slammed the steering wheel, and the little bread turned left and right on the road like an enraged bull, and then turned all over into the farmland next to the road.
Fortunately, the speed was not fast, and the two of us were not injured. Lao Hei got out of the car, scolded and said that the runway was not good and did not fly, and I was scared into a cold sweat, and the two of them tossed for half a night before they turned the car over again.
At this time, the sky was already clear, the moon was bright and the stars were scarce, I drove the car to pull the old black back, this cargo was still restless in the car, and kept singing out of tune, he sang:
How many times in the face of cold eyes and ridicule, never gave up the ideal in my heart, a moment of trance as if there is a feeling of loss, unconsciously has become diluted love in my heart, forgive me for this life uninhibited debauchery love freedom, but also afraid that one day will fall, betray the ideal anyone can be, that will be afraid that one day only you and me.
I know that Lao Hei has long been content with a peaceful life and has been aroused by the spark of high morale, why shouldn't I?
When we walked out of the school gate with the ideals of youth and were ambitious and ready to do a big career, we ran into walls everywhere in the society and achieved nothing, depressed, and our enthusiasm was gradually smoothed out by reality.
originally thought that this life would pass so ordinary, but a seed of hope was planted, which seemed to cause huge ripples in the calm heart.
