Chapter 138 [The Copper Scroll That Can't Be Opened]
He took out more than a dozen scrolls of various materials of different lengths, and then breathed a sigh of relief, and then used a flashlight to shine a flashlight on the warehouse, where there was nothing left but dust, and then he closed the door of the warehouse with peace of mind and took back his lock.
At this time, the storage aisle was like a bookstall, and there were piles of various books on the left, and because the light was really not good, the three of them decided to get these books out first. Then they are further screened to pick out the valuable, and the non-valuable ones can only be sent to the flea market when they have time to exchange money, or they can be donated to welfare institutions.
This was easy to do, John ran downstairs, and then pushed a small cart, and the three of them put the books neatly stacked on the cart, and transported them out, a total of two carts, and then the two warehouses were all sorted out. With a sigh of relief, he drove to the office of the warehousing company in exchange for all kinds of documents and got his deposit back.
Then you can go back to the hotel with a smoke, because the hotel's underground parking lot can't park trucks, so you have to change to a hotel, and the underground parking lot of this hotel can enter the trucks.
After checking in, I went back to the room to take a shower and change clothes, and there was still some distance before dinner time, so Anne couldn't wait to pull Yang Nianzhong and John, and hurriedly took the elevator to the underground parking lot.
Open the compartment of the truck and connect the lighting equipment, the whole compartment is so bright that even an ant can see clearly, and then start sorting out the books.
When sorting out the books, Annina is a big person, Anne is responsible for selecting the two brothers to be responsible for transporting, Anne picks the books on the other side, and puts the books that Anne doesn't want on the other side.
The number was about 3:1, and the more she sorted it out, the better Anne's mood became, and she began to babble about how rare these books should be to the two brothers, some of which were even published before World War II. Some of them can only be seen in the library but not borrowed, but I didn't expect to find these books that the library does not borrow in this warehouse, how rare it must be.
Books are tools that carry knowledge, and knowledge is the most expensive and priceless, so these books are not something that can be measured in terms of money, since Anne, the girlfriend, likes it. Then get these books home and build a small library for Anne, so that she can swim in the ocean of knowledge, and of course John raised his hands and feet in favor of this, don't see that John has no culture, but he still knows the value of books.
It took more than an hour to sort out all the books, and then put the useful books that Anne had picked out in cardboard boxes, sealed them, and put them in the carriage. Put those useless books in cardboard boxes, open them and put them neatly on the other side, and at this time they faced a problem, what to do with these books that Anne didn't want.
According to Yang Nianzhong's opinion, of course, they were sold to flea markets, but these books took up too much space, and Anne proposed to donate these books to charitable organizations so that they could play their role in passing on knowledge.
As for how the charity organization uses these books, it is not something that everyone can care about, and the little lovers have different opinions, so they began to seek the opinion of the third person present, that is, John.
At noon, Yang Nianzhong put John together, which made John unable to swallow this breath, and now the opportunity for revenge came. Regardless of whether it is related to his own financial gains, he did not hesitate to choose to support Annie's decision to donate these books to charitable organizations, as for how much money he sells, he doesn't care as long as you make Yang Nianzhong uncomfortable, he is happy.
In the face of his brother's betrayal, Yang Nianzhong gritted his teeth with hatred, but with Annie as John's bodyguard on the side, what can you do Seeing John's triumphant appearance, Yang Nianzhong couldn't wait to whip him.
2:1 Yang Nianzhong had to admit that he lost, and if he lost, he lost, the books have been sorted out, so everyone should go. But I didn't expect Yang Nianzhong to jump out of the car before he remembered another thing, there were more than a dozen drawing scrolls that had not been opened, and he didn't know what drawings were inside.
Hurriedly beckoned John and Anne, who had already jumped out of the car, to come back, and then sat down on a small bench, each holding a few scrolls for drawing in his arms. These scrolls are made of leather, fiber, cylindrical shape, used to hold drawings, and there is an opening in it, and one of the most special ones is a copper scroll.
It is carved with exquisite patterns, and it looks old, and it is different to drink other scrolls, and the way this scroll is opened is actually from the middle, but no matter how Yang Nianzhong pulls it out, it can't be pulled.
If you can't open this copper scroll, you can't know what's inside, so you can pick up the scroll and put it in your ear and shake it gently, and you can hear the sound of paper hitting inside, but what if you can't open it.
The scrolls that had been assigned to John and Anne had been opened without any problems, and there were two oil paintings in them that were signed and signed, and to be honest, even the well-informed Anne did not know who the painter was. But the artistic conception of these two oil paintings is good, one is a coconut grove in the sea, and a sailboat going out to sea to fish, and there is a beautiful woman with long hair fluttering on a stone looking up at the sea.
Another oil painting depicts a black bear, and it is a vivid picture of this black bear, which is digging out a honeycomb. In particular, the greedy appearance of the black bear will be painted very well, and even the saliva can be seen, and the two oil paintings are particularly realistic, but the painter who painted the oil painting is not very famous.
These two oil paintings were also painted in the eighties and nineties of the last century, not ancient paintings, and they are not worth a few dollars, and the rest of the scrolls are also filled with drawings. There are two drawings of shipbuilding, and one is the drawing of Ford's off-road vehicle produced by Ford, which is gone, and the only thing left that has not been opened is the copper scroll that Yang Nianzhong is responsible for.
Unable to pull it out, this made Yang Nianzhong particularly embarrassed, there was no way, he couldn't be stuffy in the carriage, and the three of them had to take the scroll back to the upstairs room. Back in the upstairs room, Anne, who loves cleanliness, even found a few wet wipes and began to wipe the childish scroll, but she didn't expect the copper scroll to be brighter and brighter.
The patterns on it are particularly beautiful, and the carving technique depicts the picture of the Civil War period, neither the figures nor the weapons are more than two centimeters high. But the carving is lifelike, let's not care about what is in this unopen copper scroll, just these paintings carved on this scroll are worth a lot of money.
Yang Nian had a hunch that the contents of this comrade scroll must be a shocking secret, and it may be the most important treasure he found in his treasure hunting career.
But this scroll couldn't be opened, which made Yang Nianzhong quite a headache, lying on the bed with this scroll and starting to be in a daze, up and down, left and right. Yang Nianzhong also thought that there was a mechanism set up on this scroll, and if it was not reorganized according to the password of the mechanism, there was no way to open this scroll, but there was no mechanism.
