Beipai Tomb Raiders Notes

Chu Feng Jiangnan rhyme, Huangshi City, the capital of copper,

Perhaps since a large number of mines were shut down, Huangshi's economic development has also stopped.

why do you say so?

Because I passed by Huangshi on a business trip to Hubei in May last year, I felt that it was the same as it was 20 years ago.

Same building!Same street!Same memory!

At that time, we arrived in the urban area after [-]:[-] p.m., and the seller asked us to wait for him at the gate of Huangshi Hotel, which is across from the passenger station.

I was deeply impressed. On the west side of Huangshi Hotel, there was a huge advertisement of "a male hospital" printed on the wall of a building. Under the dim street lights, many people kept coming in and out of the hotel. I bought a pack of red gold dragons from the old man.

I called and said, "Hey buddy, I've been waiting for half an hour! You ain't here yet!"

"Where are you? I'm here! Didn't see you!"

I looked left and right, and said loudly, "I'm right in front of the hotel! Next to a Nissan car! I'm wearing a black vest!"

"Okay! I think I saw you!"

Suddenly someone called me.

I looked back and saw a long-haired young man about 20 years old riding a three-wheeled motorcycle and waving to me. This guy was wearing glasses and had pimples all over his face. There was a big man sitting there, probably the other party came to help out.

"It's you, buddy, what's your surname?" I walked over and asked.

"Miangui's surname is Zhou! Zhou Shi! What about you?"

"Xiangfeng!"

After shaking hands, he smiled and said, "I came from the countryside 40 miles away. I came a bit late. Don't blame me. Come and smoke a cigarette."

He enthusiastically gave me loose cigarettes, which are good cigarettes, Furong King with soft golden mouth.

"It's okay, did you bring the things? Check the goods." I said.

At this time, his big friend said: "Look, the things are in the car."

The back of the three-wheeled motorcycle was covered with a blue rain cloth. He glanced left and right, then lifted a corner of the rain cloth for me to see.

With the help of the street lights, I gradually saw the whole picture of this thing. Seeing the real thing is far more shocking than looking at photos on the Internet.

This bronze three-headed beast is about one meter long and more than half a meter high. It is covered with green rust spots, and some of the green rust surfaces are black and shiny. This is due to the oxidation of the epidermis after being unearthed for a period of time. Staring forward!There are dense patterns of copper coins printed on the tongue, the tail is short and thick, like the tail of a rattlesnake, and the overall look is very mighty.

I tried the weight with my hands, and I was surprised: "Fuck...how is it so heavy?"

Maybe he saw what I was thinking, and the buddy said: "It must be made of solid copper! This thing weighs more than 100 catties! Otherwise, I wouldn't use a cart to pull it here!"

"Then according to the price we negotiated before, this is 1 yuan, you order." I quickly handed over an envelope.

He didn't answer, but said, "Brother, it's not that I'm greedy, or that this thing has already been sold for [-] yuan. Look at you..."

My face turned dark immediately, and I said, "Dude, do you understand the rules? Isn't that how you do business?"

The big guy stood in front of me, frowned and said, "What's the rule? We confiscated your deposit! The item is ours! Of course we have the final say on how much to sell! Besides, we didn't lie to you. Just before you came, there was a real buyer." The family paid [-] yuan!"

After hearing this, I waved my hand and said, "Okay, okay! Don't talk nonsense! I ran hundreds of miles here! I must take this thing away! Just tell me the real price that can be sold now!"

He didn't even think about it, and immediately said: "Then it will be calculated as 5 yuan! Not even a penny less!"

"Okay! You wait!"

I returned to the car, took 4 yuan from Xiaoxuan, and gave the other party [-] yuan.

I know it's useless to talk about the rules to this kind of layman. They don't understand. In their eyes, money is more important than rules.

Afterwards, the other party opened the envelope and counted the money on the spot. All we took out were new banknotes. It can be seen that the two of them were very excited to see so much money.

"That's enough, not a penny, [-]! The thing is yours! Can I help you move it to the car?"

Carrying the things into the car, this buddy saw Batou Xiaoxuan and the others, but he didn't say anything, I was the only one who was in contact with the other party the whole time.

At this moment, I gave my head a look, and I immediately understood.

"Brother Zhou, and this brother, let's have a meal, and I'll be the host, just to make friends."

We walked into Huangshi Restaurant together, ordered food and served wine, and after eating and drinking for a while, we got to know each other well, and I asked him about the specific origin of the food.

"Brother, you are an open-minded person, so let me tell the truth, I didn't pick this thing up, it was..."

He looked around and whispered: "I followed my grandfather up the mountain and saw him dig it out of the soil with my own eyes."

I passed the cigarette and asked, "Where exactly? For example, where is it on the mountain? Are there any obvious signs around?" I asked.

"Why do you ask this? You don't want to dig too, do you?"

"Haha! Don't make fun of you!"

"The people in our village alone! Just turned the soil in that mountain! More than ten times up and down! My grandpa said that 30 years ago, I could indeed find copper coins, copper mirrors and so on! But those are all gone now!"

I said, "Of course I know I can't find anything, but you don't need to worry about it. I'm just curious. I'll go there and take a look. After all, I've come here, so it's a tourist,"

"Okay! Since you said so, let me tell you!"

He said to me: "On the mountainside to the east of Mount Xisai, there is a tea field of more than ten acres! If you walk 100 meters inward through the tea field, you will see an old ginkgo tree. From the old ginkgo There is a [-]-degree soil slope down from the tree! This is what my grandfather dug there, and there was a big bronze mirror at the same time!"

He stretched out his hand to show the size, the size of a football.

"Where is this big bronze mirror?" I asked quickly.

"Sold it a long time ago! I was too young and ignorant at that time! I sold it to an antique collector when I was in the sixth grade of elementary school! It only sold for 20 yuan!"

"You can't talk about this! If you talk about it, I will get angry! If the big bronze mirror is kept until now! At least it can be worth 2 yuan!"

I thought you said less.

Song mirrors are generally small, but such a big bronze mirror is either a regular mirror with sun and moon patterns from the Western Han Dynasty, or a sea beast grape mirror from the early Tang Dynasty. Let alone 50, there are many people who can get [-] from Panjiayuan Rushing to ask for it.

"That's enough buddy! I still have something to do! I'll leave soon after eating! You want to play in Huangshi for a few days, right? If you need help later, you can call me anytime. You have my phone number."

After the people left, I quickly called the head to let everyone come over.

After re-ordering a table of food, I first said: "Head up, I found out the place of origin, shall we go over tonight and have a look or tomorrow night?"

There were a lot of people dining in the hotel lobby, so I looked at the time and said in a low voice, "It's already past nine o'clock, I'd better find a place to rest, it won't be too late tomorrow.

Putting his head down on his chopsticks, he said in a low voice, "Yunfeng, just now I took a closer look at the Gold Swallowing Beast, and the owner didn't understand at all. The original packaging of the thing has not been touched by anyone, and there may be something hidden in its stomach."

"what!"

"Hold on, isn't that thing made of solid bronze?"

He raised his head and said, "I'm eating later, come out with me to have a look."

When I got outside, I opened the trunk with my head, and he asked me to tap the gold swallowing beast's stomach with my hand.

I reached out and knocked twice, feeling that the sound was muffled. If it was hollow, it should be "bang bang."

"Hold on, I don't sound hollow."

He shook his head and said, "Yunfeng, let me ask you, was this thing made by turning sand or casting it?"

"Casting, of course! Look here! There are still parts of the pouring gate that haven't been polished!"

He frowned and said: "There is a legend in the industry that the gold-swallowing beast used by the town treasury will never be hungry. If you don't believe me, let's open it and have a look."

I hurriedly said that this is one piece, if the stomach is opened, it will be damaged?How can you sell it for a good price?

He shook his head and said, "What if the things hidden in the stomach are more valuable? Don't talk about it, you go get a hammer and chisel here now."

I quickly turned to the tool and brought it.

Point your head at a spot and say, "It's just the stomach, cut it open for me."

So I clanged and chiseled fiercely, and after a while, I chiseled a hole.

I just put my finger into the hole, only to hear clatter!

A lot of ancient copper coins!Just like the Hukou Waterfall, it flows down continuously!Extremely spectacular.
