Chapter 64: Forgotten
The list of weapons and ammunition I listed really startled the money shopkeeper, who actually thought that I was planning a rebellion.
It seems like a little bit more, but for the sake of long-term plans for the future, I think it's best to do it in one step.
"The money shopkeeper thinks too much, I'm just to protect our village, hoard a little more, in case the world is really chaotic in the future, there is nothing to deal with for a while!"
"But such a large amount, the cost, and the way back are all problems."
"The cost is a trivial matter, the shopkeeper of the two thousand taels of silver tickets still take it back, in case there is an expense in the middle, it is easy to do things if you have money in your hand, as for the money for guns and ammunition, you estimate it, estimate it, and you can get it tomorrow."
In fact, I also roughly estimated in my heart that the purchase of guns would cost about 500,000 or 600,000 yuan, plus ammunition, about 700,000 yuan, and during this period, a piece of ocean was almost equivalent to more than seven yuan of silver, and it was more than 500,000 taels in exchange for silver, and then about 10 yuan a gram of the current price of silver, more than 5 million yuan.
More than five million, if it was placed in the past, it would definitely be a figure I didn't dare to imagine, but for me now, it's just a piece of cake - the few pieces of porcelain sold to Xu Linqing last time made 13 million, and I took out 5 million to buy silver bars and bring them over......
However, the cost will be bigger and bigger in the future, if the mountain and river guard team is expanded, the elite troops will get about 200 people, and each person will have five taels of silver per month, which is 1,000 taels or 10,000 yuan.
To build another women's medical team, based on the idea of equality between men and women, silver is naturally indispensable, and in addition to this, it is necessary to buy various medicines and so on.
If you don't do anything, you will have to spend 20,000 or 30,000 yuan a month.
If this had been put in the past, such a large sum of money would have made me sad, but now, I can't sit back and eat, it seems that I have to bring something back.
During this time, I found that every family in this mountain and river village has a bit of treasure, the most common is Tang Sancai, like candlesticks, the kind of hats and tubes fired by the official kilns of the Qing Dynasty, and some inconspicuous bottles and cans, etc., which are actually good things.
In addition, there are also those hair ornaments on the heads of women in this village, I observed them, many of them are authentic cloisonné, and some old things from this period, I don't know if there can be a market if I take them back.
Find a time to walk through all the grocery stores on this alley street, and bring back the old things that can be collected, and those that are not worth much in this era, to be sold.
By the way, let Zhao Dong publicize it to everyone and recycle all kinds of old goods at a high price.
I took the time to go to the Bai Family Department Store next door to find Bai Yuxuan, and I was going to buy a few pieces of porcelain from him.
Bai Yuxuan also hired a few people to dig a cellar in the backyard, and he was guarding the front store, and when he saw me entering, he quickly stood up, looking very nervous:
"Shopkeeper Luo, what do you command?"
Well, everyone is the shopkeeper, so it's not going to be good.
"The politeness of the white shopkeeper, I want to see what good porcelain there is, and collect a few pieces."
"Yes!"
Bai Yuxuan said, pulled out a large box from the back of the counter, opened it, and the box was divided into several small grids, each of which was covered with golden satin, and then there were several pieces of porcelain inside.
Vases, candlesticks, pen washes, tea cans, white porcelain bull ornaments, a total of five pieces. These five pieces of porcelain look extraordinary, except for the Tang Sancai horse stepping on the Feiyan candlestick, the others are really outsiders.
Bai Yuxuan introduced these porcelains to me one by one, and they were all antiques from the Han and Tang dynasties, I hesitated for a while, and hesitated for a while whether I should bring back this level of antiques and sell them to Xu Linqing?
If you sell it to him and then go abroad through his hands, it won't be interesting.
But if I don't take it away, this thing is in Bai Yuxuan's hands, after experiencing the troubled times, can it still be stored in future generations?
"White shopkeeper, last time, when Huang Xuemei was here, I received a few jars in your store, if you still have an impression, do you think those jars are more important than the five in front of you?"
I couldn't judge the value and significance of these things for a while, so I simply compared and asked Bai Yuxuan.
"I naturally have the impression that those pieces of porcelain are my daily play, it is Tang Sancai, but it is also made by later generations, not from the Tang Dynasty, although it is also valuable enough, but it cannot be compared with these few pieces, these few pieces I am reluctant to take out every day, when I first received it, I was ready to heirloom a few treasures." Bai Yuxuan said with a wry smile.
"Then why are you willing to sell it to me now?"
"Playthings are demoralized! And if there is no country, how can there be a home! ”
Oh? This Bai Yuxuan has always been the image of a polite and polite son, he likes elegance every day, he plays with porcelain and reads poetry and books when he has nothing to do, why did he suddenly sneer at his long-standing interest in life?
Until I saw the books on Bai Yuxuan's desk: "Tsinghua Weekly", "Warring States Policy", "Zizhi Tongjian", I immediately felt impressed, yes, the scholar abandoned the elegance, the heart is to the family and the country, the country will be saved, and I was impressed by this Bai Yuxuan for a while.
After Zhao Donglai spread the news of my collection of old things, in less than two days, all kinds of miscellaneous items were piled up in my room: copper hookah pots, porcelain hats, tea cans, shoehorns, camphor wood boxes, a large number of various wooden hairpins, Tang Sancai hair ornaments, embroidery, old oil lamps with lids, copper handles on the doors, tables, chairs and benches in the Qing Dynasty, flowered hats worn by the four rank officials, court clothes of ministers, and even a jade pearl......
In addition, in the various grocery stores on Daxiang Street, a lot of things have also been collected, and there are still some good things in a room.
I picked and put a few items that I thought were valuable, along with Bai Yuxuan's porcelain, into the stone room of the Li Shan Space, and the rest of the things were put into another stone room next to it.
This time has been busy in Shanhe Village, just count on my fingers, I haven't come back for about half a month, this time I came back, looked around, but I always felt that something was wrong, I stood in the house and was stunned for a long time, only to remember, the last time I left, I remembered that it was daytime, how did it get dark outside when I came back this time, when I stayed in Shanhe Village, wouldn't the time in the real world not pass?
I picked up the mobile phone on the table to take a look, but found that it was out of power, so I charged it, turned it on and looked, there were a few missed calls about five days ago, all of them were called by the leaders of the unit, and my parents called for two days, but then no one called me again.
Looking at the time, it was not yet nine o'clock, and my parents had not rested at this time, so I made a call to my father's mobile phone, and the phone rang twice and was hung up.
Well? Why don't you even answer my phone? Keep calling!
"Hey, hello!" Daddy's voice came.
What's going on, why are you so polite to me?
"Hey, Dad, what are you telling me?"
"Who are you?"
Dad's voice was full of surprise, and I was stunned.
"Dad, I'm Fusheng, what's wrong with you? Is it unwell? "I'm in a hurry.
"Floating? Did you make a mistake...... He said that he was a floating life, and he called Dad, I guess it was a mistake. ”
Dad seemed to be explaining to someone around him.
I was shocked, why can't Dad even remember me?
I quickly hung up the phone and called my mom again.
"Hey, hello?" Mommy's voice.
"Mom, I'm Fusheng, are you by my dad's side? What's wrong with him, is he sick, why don't you even know me? ”
"Who? Floating? Why do you call me Mom, did you call the wrong number? ”
"Mom! I'm a floating being, what's wrong with all of you?! I roared in a hurry.
"It's still the one called Fusheng, call me mom......" Mom was also explaining to the people around her.
I hung up the phone and called my brother and sister again, only to be scolded for being insane.
Call the leader, and the leader also said sorry after being silent for a long time, you may have made a mistake.
I called all my acquaintances and asked me if I had made the wrong call.
What's going on?
I forced myself to compose myself and began to analyze the whole incident before and after.
After a long time, I remembered one thing, in one of Guo Mingyue's paintings, the whole picture is like a distorted air and space, a woman with long curly hair, her head is split in half, distributed in different spaces, I remember that there are two lines of words written on the painting.
What's written?
I hurriedly rummaged through the painting and found it, and the words on it read: Interfere with the past, and be forgotten by the present.
Interfere with the past, and it is forgotten by the present world.
I think back to this time, although I have traveled back and forth between the modern era and the mountain river village in 1929, I have never interfered in the affairs of the mountain river village until ...... Five days ago, I saved Li Shishi's daughter.
After I saved the daughter of Li Shishi, who was supposed to die, then the people of the present world began to forget me, and time began to move forward, and everything in this world was no longer waiting for me.
I dug tunnels, built mountain and river guards, bought guns and ammunition, and I wanted to continue to change that era that I regretted countless times...... I interfered with the past, so I was forgotten by the present world.
So Guo Mingyue, did she return to which era through those paintings and interfered in the past, so she was also forgotten?
This can explain that Guo Mingyue's father will throw away all her things, and bluntly say that he is unlucky, just imagine, when he wakes up, he finds that there are traces of the life of a person in the family who has never remembered, it is indeed a weird thing that sends chills down the spine.
I suddenly realized that except for the panic at the moment when I first found out that my family had forgotten about it, now that I had calmed down, I didn't seem to feel too uncomfortable, maybe I really didn't belong to this plane in the first place.
Looking back on the time I spent at home, I don't really have any special memories, since I can remember, eating, going to school, sleeping, no extreme joy happened, I didn't get beaten or scolded for anything, I just seemed to be a guest, in that family for a while.
Now that I am leaving, there may be some thoughts and concerns, but there will be no heart-rending pain.
