Chapter 401: Dolls
Coming to a room at the corner of the second floor of the East Building, Xiao Rong opened the door and said, "This is the place to collect." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoActually, I don't usually take guests to visit alone, because I have to come when I come again, so I set a special day. Once a month, take you to take a look. ”
With that, Xiao Rong opened the door and invited Mu Sen, Mo Zidi, and the reckless man to come in and visit.
As soon as he entered, Mu Sen saw countless rows of mahogany shelves. The rows on top are all dolls, some Western and some Eastern, and even puppets that people sewn out of cloth and cotton a hundred years ago, the kind with rough eyes and mouths/chins painted roughly.
No one spoke, as if they had entered a museum or exhibition hall, quietly looking at the dolls in this room. According to Xiao Rong, if even the smallest dolls are counted, there are a total of 998 dolls in this room. And this room is also the largest room in the East Building.
"Does Miss Xiao like these collections too? Since when have these dolls accumulated so much? Mussen asked.
Xiao Rong looked at the dolls and said, "Since I was very young, they have been here. My grandmother told me that the house could not be moved because it was the work of my ancestors. These dolls are even more immobile because moving them would be a disaster. In a word...... I also didn't want to go against the teachings of the ancestors, so these dolls were well preserved. ”
Mo Zitong walked up to a row of delicate dolls at this time and said, "Is this a Japanese doll?" Mo Zitong was referring to a female doll placed in a flat lying position. Adult man's palm-sized, wooden.
Xiao Rong glanced at it and said, "Yes, it was a Japanese maternity doll in the eighteenth century. This doll is like a building block puzzle that can be taken apart from the abdomen to remove the child/palace and baby. I've always been a dislike of these kinds of dolls. Although it was educational at the time, it was still terrifying no matter how you look at it. ”
"That's right." Mo Ziqi replied lightly.
He discovered that the place was truly a collection of dolls. It's completely different from the doll murder case they encountered before. Even, the doll lovers in that case can't be compared with this place at all. In this huge collection room, the dolls are large and small. The big one was a man tall and stood in the corner. The small ones may be the size of your thumb. These puppets have many kinds of materials, such as puppets, ceramics, wood, metal, plastic, and even many materials that Mu Sen and Mo Zidi can't see at all. Because it's inconvenient to take it down and study it, I can only be curious from afar.
These dolls also come from many countries, different eras, and many things that can be called historical and cultural heritage. There is a wooden doll of a Japanese geisha, which is quite a famous doll. It is said that this wooden doll took 41 years to make it. It could almost be said that it took the time of the maker's life. Unexpectedly, it was placed here. The highest position is kept in glassware.
Dolls made in the United States in 1846, dolls made in Britain in 1910, and many more older dolls are placed in glassware at the top of the shelves. Just by listening to the age, you can see how precious these dolls are. Moreover, they should all have witnessed a certain period of history.
"It's a rare ...... You actually own such a puppet museum. Mu Sen said to Xiao Rong from the bottom of his heart.
But at this time, the reckless man laughed out loud and said, "Aren't these things scared to death at night!" A woman is a woman. I like this kind of thing, it's really incomprehensible. Tell me about the stuff of the 18th century. You can't be a sperm until now?! These are all dead people's things, all with yin and bad luck. ”
Hearing the reckless man say this, Xiao Rong was a little unhappy, but she still didn't show it. After all, these dolls are the collection of her ancestors, and she will naturally not be happy to be said so.
But the reckless man still said without hesitation: "Think about it. Do you have to be scared to death by a pair of eyes when you come here in the middle of the night? If I were you, I would have burned them with a fire! ”
"This ......" Xiao Rong was a little overwhelmed.
At this time, a slightly immature voice came from behind them: "You said that these dolls are not good, they will be killed." ”
Mu Sen turned his head sharply and saw the little girl.
The girl's icy gaze and eerie voice. None of them match her sweet and lovely image. That kind of gaze even made Mu Sen stunned.
"Lailai, why are you here?" Xiao Rong said in surprise.
The girl's face was still gloomy, and she replied, "It was Yin Yin who told me that you were here." ”
Xiao Rong said helplessly: "Didn't you tell you to play in the room obediently?" Why are you so disobedient? Mommy is entertaining our guests, you go back to your room. ”
The girl didn't mean to resist Xiao Rong, but stared at the reckless man directly, her eyes full of hatred.
This made Mu Sen and Mo Ziqi couldn't help but glance at each other, and they both had a strange feeling in their hearts.
But the reckless man snorted disapprovingly and said, "Little girl! People are not big, but they are not small, and they have learned to scare people! But Lao Tzu is not scared, he just wants to see if these ghosts can kill people! With that, he snorted and rushed out.
When he walked to the aisle, he shouted loudly: "I'm camping outside the courtyard at night, don't worry about me." You don't have to refund the room money, just prepare something for me to barbecue! I'm going to catch some rabbits and pheasants to try! ”
Listening to these rough words, Xiao Rong hugged the child and frowned.
Mu Sen walked over and helped her and asked, "Are you okay?" ”
Xiao Rong stood up, took the child's hand, shook her head slightly and said, "It's okay." ”
"In the future, guests like this can not be accepted. You're a woman, so it doesn't seem safe. Mussen kindly reminded.
Xiao Rong looked at Mu Sen very gratefully and said, "Actually, most of the people who came here are still very polite. Such people are in the minority...... I'm sorry to disturb your interest. ”
Mu Sen smiled: "No, we are both quite happy." It's not easy to see so many old dolls at once, and this trip is worth it. ”
Xiao Rong felt very relieved when she heard Mu Sen say this, so she smiled and said, "I'll settle the child and go cook." You are used to eating big fish and meat in the city, and it is good to try the natural vegetables and fruits and vegetables here once in a while. You can go shopping, I'll call you when the meal is ready. (To be continued.) )
