I thought to myself: "Could it be that Grandma Shao really left me nothing?"
There are many secrets hidden in Grandma Shao's body, but these secrets have long lost their clues.Seeing what the third child said, I showed a very disappointed expression.
However, the third child's face became serious immediately, and she said, "Head, I can feel something metallic ten meters below the ground. I don't know if it has anything to do with Grandma Shao."
Just kidding, ten meters underground, how deep is that distance, how could it have anything to do with Grandma Shao.
Besides, digging a ten-meter-deep pit here out of thin air is obviously extremely inappropriate, and it will attract the attention of others. If the police intervene, then things will be troublesome.
Hearing what the third child said, my heart moved, and I asked, "Third brother, can you feel what it is?"
The mental power released by the third child seemed to be trying to detect it, but then he shook his head and said, "I don't know what it is, I can only feel that it seems to be a metal thing."
There is such a weird thing, in order to find out, I am determined to find an opportunity to dig it out to see what it is.
After leaving the ancestral house where Grandma Shao and I lived, I kept thinking in my heart, what kind of correct reason could I find to excavate that mysterious metal substance.
The third child communicated with me through psychic power, and actually guessed what I was thinking, she said: "Head, I heard that the land in the suburbs is currently being developed, and you can just buy this land. Commercial areas and residential areas are secretly for digging, so wouldn’t it be the best of both worlds.”
What the third child said not only proves that she has a strong mental power, but also proves that she has a good business acumen.Twenty years ago, the land was so remote that it was hard for anyone to think of developing it.However, the environment is different now. The area in the urban area is limited after all. If they can win that piece of land, they might be able to make a fortune in business.
In fact, I really hate doing business, because it requires publicity, which is very inconsistent with my personality, so I have to think carefully.In the end, I decided to take that piece of land. After all, there is a piece of land there, and no matter what you do, you can make money without losing money.
I said to the third child: "Even if I intend to take that land, but the land now is not the same as before, it is all stolen goods, and the government will certify the company that auctions the land. That land will be difficult."
Hearing what I said, the third child thought about it for a while, and then said: "Since this is not possible, we can only secretly find an excavator at night. It should be no problem to dig a [-]-meter-large pit overnight."
I nodded and said, "That's the only way we can do it. Fortunately, there are no ancient tombs in this place, otherwise the government will definitely suspect that we have robbed tombs."
It is not easy to find an excavator. Among the bosses I know, several are engaged in construction.That night, they found two excavators and hung a one-kilowatt solar lamp high, and officially started the work.
The efficiency of the two excavators is high. After three or four hours, a ten-meter-deep pit was dug out.Of course, at this time, Grandma Shao's ancestral house had already been pushed away without a trace.
The deep hole had just been dug, and the third child immediately said to me: "Boss, tell them to stop immediately, I have already locked the location of that thing."
Hearing what the third child said, I was overjoyed, and then I ordered all the masters of the excavator to stop.
The third child jumped into the ten-meter-deep pit herself, and I could feel that her movements were very agile, which was obviously the result of the skills I passed on to her.
Everyone felt extremely weird seeing the youngest's agility. They all stared at the woman in front of them in unison, feeling that this woman was not simple.
What kind of weird thing could it be? I was secretly guessing in my heart.The result came soon, because at this time the third child had already jumped out of the pit.
According to the current skill of the third child, it is not impossible to jump out of the ten-meter giant pit, but what needs to be emphasized is that he has not learned light kung fu and body skills, so when he jumped out, he even jumped the slope three times in a row, and then turned over. Out of the ten-meter pit.
But the behavior of the third child also shocked everyone.I frowned slightly, I really hated the ostentatious behavior of the third child.
The first thing the third child said to me after he jumped out was: "Head, I found something."
Obviously the third child went down empty, and came up empty, and didn't see anything in her hand.But since the third child dares to say that, she has full confidence. She is just using a cover-up method to deceive the excavator masters in front of her.
If they found out that a treasure was dug out here, it would be fine, maybe it would spread to ten, ten to hundreds, or the whole Dongjiang would know about it tomorrow.
Although the third child has shown lightness kung fu and body skills, I am quite satisfied with what she did.I walked up to the excavator master, gave each of them a red envelope of 1000 yuan, and said, "Master, I'm sorry to trouble you, we don't plan to dig now, can you help us fill up this hole?"
Since the money was collected and the offer was expensive, it was hard for the excavator master to refuse.It's just that they don't understand what kind of medicine is sold in my gourd. They have dug a big hole, but now they have to fill it up. Isn't this a waste of labor and money?
Now that the things have been found, in order not to arouse others' suspicion, I left the scene in a luxury car.
On the way home, I was very curious about what the third child found, which seemed so mysterious.
Chapter 4 Identification
When I got home, as soon as I entered the house, I immediately asked the third child, what did you find?
The third child smiled at me and said to me: "Head, don't worry, I'll just show you."
Her hand suddenly reached into her pocket and pulled out a boxy little thing.
From the outside, this thing is obviously made of bronze, it seems to be a solid bronze block with a square shape.
I thought Grandma Shao would leave me something useful, but seeing that it was just a square made of bronze, I was still a little disappointed in my heart.
Maybe this thing has nothing to do with Grandma Shao at all.
"Third brother, is this the broken thing you found?" I stared at the third child and asked, I spent the whole night working hard, and it was obviously very disappointing to find such a broken thing.
I took the square made of bronze and inspected it carefully countless times, but I didn't find anything special.
Seeing my disappointed expression, the third child laughed, and she said, "Head, let's not talk about other issues, can you confirm what year this thing is?"
The third child and I both graduated from the Department of Archeology of Peking University. We have very rich historical experience, and we also have a little experience in judging cultural relics.
It is not easy to be an expert in cultural relics.Because cultural relics involve so many levels, not only do we need to have an understanding of cultural relics from various eras, but more importantly, we must distinguish some modern counterfeiting methods. This requires hard study and research, and without decades of basic skills Can't get down.
Peking University is the most famous liberal arts college in China, and the Department of Archeology is also a very important feature of Peking University. My third child and I stayed in the Department of Archeology of Peking University for four years, so we are naturally capable of identifying cultural relics.
After the third child said this, I began to observe the bronze block carefully.
To say that the peak period of bronze production is undoubtedly the Shang and Zhou Dynasties. After hundreds or even thousands of years of development, the bronze casting process in the Warring States Period has reached its peak.The bronze wares at this time were often engraved with exquisite patterns and inscriptions, and their beauty and artistic value were also ingenious.Therefore, in the domestic market, the prices of bronze wares from the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods remained high, and some bronze wares with exquisite inscriptions even sold for tens of millions of dollars.
There is a thick layer of red and green oxides on this square bronze block. Judging from my experience, these oxides should be formed naturally after being buried underground.
Obviously, this bronze block is very simple to make. Judging from the production method, it should be something from the early Shang Dynasty.
I looked at the third child and said, "Why, you test my ability to identify cultural relics. In my opinion, this thing should be from the early Shang Dynasty."
Hearing what I said, the third child showed a slight smile, she looked very mysterious, and said: "At first I thought so too, but after I probed with my spiritual force, I found out that it is not."
Hearing what the third child said, I was very surprised, and asked the third child: "Then what age do you think it should belong to?"
The third child said: "Judging from the degree of oxidation of this bronze cube, it doesn't look like it was artificially made, it is obviously an ancient object. According to the production method, it should be something from the early Shang Dynasty. This conclusion is very correct, but, We've all overlooked a little..."
When the third child said this, he seemed hesitant to speak. In fact, I was very anxious and asked the third child, "What have we overlooked?"
The third child said: "In the past dynasties, especially in the Shang and Zhou dynasties, although there were many types of bronze wares, none of them was as square as this bronze wares. So what did the ancients cast it for?"
In the identification of cultural relics of bronze wares, the use of the utensils is actually very important. If there is no use, the ancients would not need to refine such a thing.
I put the bronze cube in the palm of my hand and looked at it again and again, but I really couldn't see what age it was and what purpose it was for.
"Old man, what do you think this thing will be used for? It couldn't be something that the ancients made for fun!"
This result was obviously a random deduction by me. Hearing what I said, the third child burst out laughing.
"It's a pity that you are still a graduate of the Department of Archeology at Peking University, and you actually said such a thing." The third child said to me with a smile, obviously my judgment was extremely incorrect in her opinion.
"Then what is it used for?" I asked, staring at the third child.
