Chapter 51 100,000 ancient tomb

To the market at that time, this Ming Dynasty, including the early Qing Dynasty small foot embroidered shoes, in the eyes of many folklore enthusiasts as well as players engaged in the collection, is a good thing, and the market well-preserved, although many, but almost all of the Republic of China and the late Qing Dynasty.

I asked Li Chunlai can not get the other one, this one looks a little single, antique line is a full, the more complete sets of things the more valuable, sometimes a two-piece insignificant, if you can get together a full set, the price can be folded with the heel to rise.

Li Chunlai face, the other embroidered shoes early do not know where to go, just this one is still tucked away before getting to Beijing.

I said: “so, I, with you to a solid bottom, I have a special feeling for the peasant brothers, when my father is for the Chinese peasants to turn over to the liberation, only to give up their studies into the cause of the revolution, his old man has done a lifetime of revolutionary work, ahem, let’s not mention him, and even the Chinese revolution is to take the route of the countryside surrounded by the city, only to achieve the final victory, so I can pat my chest and say, “I’m a good person, I don’t know what to do, I don’t know what to do. So I can beat my chest and say, will never see you are from the countryside on the blindfold you, this shoe on the market to sell well, can sell six or seven hundred, and then more will not be easy, if you are willing to old brother, this shoe six hundred I received, even if we make a friend, you still have what good stuff, take me directly to this, how about it?”

Li Chunlai said in surprise: “What? Six hundred? I’m not mistaken.”

I said, “What? You think it’s too little? I’ll give you another fifty.”

Li Chunlai shook his hand repeatedly, “Quite a lot, quite a lot, at first I thought it was worth three hundred at most.”

I paid him six hundred and fifty, Li Chunlai counted the money more than ten times, tightly hidden in his body, I told him to be careful, drink so much wine, do not accidentally lose the money again.

Then I talked to Li Chunlai a lot of things in their hometown, Li Chunlai’s hometown in Shaanxi Province, north of the Yellow River, Gan Yuan ditch, is the poorest of the area of a county, they have a nearby Longxiang County, mountainous and mountainous, said in the past is a national burial area, that the number of tombs can not be counted.

What is the extent of the ancient tombs in Longxiang County? An acre of land, there are six or seven tombs, which are still on the surface, there are more in the depths.

Dug out from the inside of the Tang Dynasty pastel products, a can be sold to tens of thousands of dollars, many local farmers have a few pieces at home, is to rely on things dug out of the field to get rich, from the Republic of China at that time, there are a lot of cultural relics dealers have gone to buy, decent have been collected almost.

After the Yellow River to the south is the Qinling Mountains, I heard that there are more big tombs, is not good to find, good to find all to rake out, there is a most famous Han Dynasty tombs, tombs on the light of the poaching let people hit more than two hundred and eighty, these poaching holes from ancient times to the present day are there.

There is also a lot of valuable good things flowed out, but what is specific, Li Chunlai can not say clearly, these things he also just heard.

Look at the day is not early, Li Chunlai’s strength of the wine has passed, get up and leave, before leaving is a thousand instructions, let me have the opportunity to go to his home in the future, I and his polite half a day, which only sent him away.

Back to the antique market, the fat man and the big gold teeth have been waiting impatiently, see me back, will be busy asking what good things collected?

I took the embroidered shoes to them to see, the fat man cursed: “This old man with a dog’s head of gold like, and with a half a day of trouble, to bring such a shoe ah?”

Dajinya said: “Hey, this shoes do more elaborate, Hu master how much silver received?”

I said the price, Dajinya even said good: “Hu master this time eyesight really see long, this embroidered shoes sold two thousand dollars no problem.”

I regret: “This how to say, to know can sell so much, I will give the old man more money, I thought it was worth a six or seven hundred dollars, or look away.”

Dajinya said: “Today is Monday, Monday trading thin, I think the three of us don’t with this consume, long time no eat shabu-shabu, how I say two, we pack packing run east four it.”

Fatty said: “Great minds always coincide, I have been craving this for the past two days, why don’t you think I’m tired of eating it?”

Still used to go to the East Fourth of the pavilion, just four o’clock in the afternoon, is still not half of the diners, we sit on the corner table by the window, the waiter ordered pot, set things up, dishes come up, they all go back to the counter side of the pile of kamikaze to go.

I took out a cigarette to the big gold teeth and fat man lit, asked the big gold teeth said: “gold master, you give us brother and sister say, this shoe is worth money worth in what place?”

Dajinya brought the embroidered shoes over and said, “These shoes are not ordinary people’s, you see, this is the peony flower, since the Tang Dynasty, the world is peony for the noble, although the ordinary people also have embroidered peonies on the shoes, but certainly not like this, set up the gold thread, and then you see, there are six small beads embedded in the core of the flower, although it’s not too expensive, but the overall artistic value will go up. Artistic value went up, the main thing is the owner of this shoe, the old man is from Shaanxi, Shaanxi folk simple, since ancient folk do not Shang foot-binding customs, I estimate that the owner of the shoes, most likely to be transferred to the provinces of the official family, or a large family married to the noblewoman, in short, non-wealthy that is, ah, so this shoe is very collectable value, I said in the market of 2,000, is did not dare to claim that, according to me at least worth Six thousand, if there is a pair, the price will be able to flip another four or five times.”

Fatty and I spit out his tongue, really did not think it could be so valuable, I made up my mind, I must go back to Shaanxi, and then give Li Chunlai to make up part of the money, otherwise he is too much of a loss.

While eating and talking, inadvertently, the topic came to the ancient tombs around Shaanxi.

Dajinya said: “Although I have not personally been to Shaanxi, but listen to some of the counterparts who have gone there to collect the stuff about, eight hundred miles of Qinchuan Wenwu Shengdi, the three Qin land soil and water is deep, buried underground good things, countless, just Longxiang County, there will be no less than 100,000 ancient tombs, some places, under the soil of an ancient tomb pressed by a tomb, the cultural layer of as many as a number of layers, the Qinling Mountains, the Dabashan area, legends also have a good reputation. The Qinling Mountains, along the Daba Mountains, are also said to have many large tombs. I thought, there is a chance that must go to a trip, collect some good things, even if you can not collect, open eyes is also good, but the body is not very good, has not had the opportunity to go.”

I said: “I just thought when I have time to go, or we go together to play once, by the way, collect some things, you go with us, we also have a way to take care of.”

The three of us hit it off, they discussed a few times to start the journey, I have heard of the Qinling Dragon Vein many, want to go to the field to investigate some, it is best to find a big bucket down, or pay back the usury of the United States of America, the day of the back of the debt is really not good.

However, there is no clear goal, just ready to go there and look at it, so there is no intention to bring what equipment, only with military shovels, wolf-eye flashlight, simple anti-virus masks and a few other things, it will be enough, and then bring some cash, I hope to collect a few pieces of treasure back.

Big gold teeth said: “the things dug out there, are underground trading, has formed a certain program, outsiders are difficult to intervene, we want to collect valuable things, we have to go to the most remote places, there is no just, if there will be able to earn a fortune.”

Fatty suddenly remembered something, said to us: “we are not to bring more black ass hooves, I heard that there are the most zombies.”

I said: “Wear a few with the body is also good to be prepared, but we are not going there to fight, mainly to go out and have fun, collect some things back, do not worry about encountering large dumplings.”

Dajinya said: “Master Hu, you are a great expert in feng shui, you said there are more black evil white evil, this phenomenon, in the feng shui point of view how to explain?”

I said, “Fierce can also be said to refer to zombies, black and white refers to different necrophilia, since ancient times, there are said to be a place to raise corpses, but those I don’t understand, since we are talking about this, I’ll kan from the perspective of feng shui.”
