Jianbao Lingyan

Chapter 105 Harvest and Doubt

The entire ship is about four meters high at the lowest point from the ground, and at least six meters away from the highest point.

Fortunately, there were several vines on the boat. Anderson and Bell climbed up on the vines just now, and Xu Wei was able to go up. Only Zhou Yu gave up the desire to go up now after pulling off a vine.

"Brother Xu, you watch here first, I'll go back and find some tools." Although Zhou Yu really wanted to see the treasure right away, but the external conditions did not allow it, Zhou Yu could only give up this tempting idea.

Xu Wei waved to him, "Be careful on the road, if you want me to tell you, don't come back, just stay on the boat."

It was already past six o'clock in the afternoon. Although there were no large carnivores on the island, it was still not safe at night.

"I know." Zhou Yu turned around and waved his hand, returning very chicly.

Xu You bid farewell to Zhou Yu and walked towards the inside of the boat.

The cargo warehouse of the whole ship is inside the hull. Xu You followed the secret door, turned on the pathfinding lights above his head, jumped down, and came to the inside of the hull.

There were neatly stacked boxes everywhere, and a few boxes had been opened, and there was nothing inside, only some rotten plant roots and the like.

Xu Er guessed that those were spices.

On the Maritime Silk Road in the Tang Dynasty, spices were the most popular products.

The ship's original route was to start from Dashi, pass through Quanzhou, and sail to Dongying.Spices were the main trade goods at that time.

Xu You's heart skipped a beat, and she felt that she had taken it for granted.

If the goods on this ship are spices and silk, two items that cannot be preserved for a long time, then the proceeds from this treasure hunt may not even get back the money invested in the early stage.

After all, this treasure hunting activity was proposed by Xu Er, and Xu Er would feel very guilty if he lost all his money.

After walking for a while, I saw Anderson and Bell standing there in amazement, their eyes staring straight ahead.

Xu You followed the gazes of the two, and then looked for the road lights, and Xu You saw a scene that surprised him.

A golden Buddha made of gold, just in front of several people, revealed its shining golden corner.

"This is an oriental Buddha statue, right?" Bell was a little unsure. When he was in Huaxia, he had also been to temples and seen Guanyin and Bodhisattvas, but those Buddha statues were all benevolent, not like the one in front of him. Ferocious and ferocious, holding a strange weapon in his hand.

"Ah, the eighteen arhats are also very famous in Buddhism."

Xu You stared blankly at the Buddha statue in front of him, and replied unconsciously.

This can't be blamed on Xu Wei's ignorance. No matter who sees eighteen pure gold Buddha statues that are as tall as real people and are exquisitely shaped, they will involuntarily stay for a while. What's more, these things still belong to you, not the temple. of.

"Is this gold-plated?" Bell couldn't believe it, so he ran to the front and wanted to lift one of the Buddha statues up, but after a lot of effort, the Buddha statue didn't move at all.

"It doesn't seem to be gold-plated." Anderson ran up to test it, and then said happily.

Naturally, you have to be happy. The eighteen solid Buddha statues can make a fortune and become a rich man just by selling gold. What's more, this is a craft from 1000 years ago. It is an antique with historical value, and the price has to be doubled. .

After waking up from the initial shock, the three of them began to open all the boxes here one by one to check the contents.

Most of the boxes are empty. Obviously, this cargo ship was originally mainly selling spices.

There was also a box where Xu Wei found out ten Tang mirrors. Among them, there were two sides, which were still very light. Although it is said that even the strands of hair could not be seen clearly, it could definitely achieve the effect of straightening the clothes.

In addition, there is a box of red sapphires, among which there are even four very beautiful cornflower sapphires, which can definitely reach the ranks of genuine products.

Anderson also found a small box in the corner, which was full of various gold coins. It was impossible to identify the value of the gold coins for a while, but just estimating the amount of gold was a fortune.

That night, none of the three of them slept, but cleaned up the booty on the boat and roughly sorted the things.

Gold and silver products accounted for the majority, not to mention the eighteen arhats, the small box of gold coins alone can make four people jump into the ranks of the rich.

As for the gems and all kinds of gem jewelry, they occupy a large box, most of which are produced in Dashi and the Western Regions, and each of them can be called a boutique.

After that was the box of Tang mirrors, Xu You brought them out individually, and couldn't put them down one by one.

"Are these things antiques? Ancient mirrors?" Bell approached curiously, carefully picked up a Tang mirror, and asked.

"Yes, this is a mirror from the Tang Dynasty, that is, about 2000 years ago, and the craftsmanship is very exquisite." Xu Er did not intend to hide it, but said the truth.

"I see you like it very much, even more than you like gems." Bell thought about his words, "Are they valuable?"

"Yes, as antiques, they are very well preserved, but for Tang Jing, the price in our country should be higher, and the international price should be relatively lower." Xu Wei recovered and saw Bell hesitated to speak, he was very puzzled, not knowing what he wanted to say to himself.

"Well, I think they must be worth more than gems." Bell asked around.

Xu Wei shook her head, "That's not right, at least those emeralds should be worth more than these mirrors, oh, Bell, you probably misunderstood, I treat them like this because I like them, the collection is mine Hobby."

In fact, the reason why Xu Wei cherishes these mirrors is because as antiques, the halos on these mirrors are not obvious, only a shallow blue halo the size of a palm, and its own value is a little Neither match.

But it's natural to think about it carefully.

The aura of the antique dealer comes from the former owner's obsession with antiques, whether it is love, sustenance, or emotion.

But these Tang mirrors were just the most common items purchased as goods at first, and later arrived at the deserted island, where only a few surviving crew members lived here, and as a mirror that could not feed their hunger and keep out the cold, Thinking about it, no one would think of it as "precious and precious", so naturally there would be no halo.

This is completely different from the antiques I have seen before.

However, Xu You treasured them very much, and planned to wait until he left, take them back to China, and ask Tang Qingyan to hold a special auction for Tang mirrors.

"Xu, there is something I want to discuss with you." Bell seemed to have made up his mind and took a deep breath, "Me and Anderson, we want to eat all the gems and jewelry. In fact, we The two plan to open a jewelry store."

Xu You blinked, indicating that she didn't understand.

"I'm a jewelry designer, and Anderson is a gem appraiser. Oh, what do you mean by that shocked look in your eyes? I clearly said that when I introduced myself." Bell saw Xu Wei's shocked face. look, shouted unbearably.

"Aren't you a biologist? How did you become a jewelry designer?" Xu Wei felt that his brain was a little overloaded, because he couldn't understand the relationship between biology and gem design.

"Ah, I have a double degree. Although I studied biology in college, I also took jewelry design as an elective." Bell shrugged, "My father is a biologist, and he always hoped that my brother and I could inherit His profession, but my favorite is jewelry design.”

"So, if you want gemstones, give me all of Tang Jing? But, as for Zhou Yu's share, he also has a quarter of gemstones." Xu You roughly understood the purpose of the two, although Xu You felt a little What a coincidence, the two have similar occupations and similar temperaments, and live together for two-thirds of the year.

"We will discuss it with him. In fact, we are not very interested in these eighteen golden statues. We can exchange some money." Anderson came over at this time and said.

"Then I have no problem here, but I don't know if you would mind if these eighteen Buddha statues are auctioned in Huaxia?" Zhou Yu's place, in fact, Xu Wei had chatted with him.

"Of course, these are antiques from the East, and there have always been more people who love them there." Bell agreed very much.

From Zhou Yu's point of view, it is enough to exchange the things obtained from the expedition for money. He is not interested in antiques.

The three of them, Xu Wei, had been sorting out the items on the boat in the first half of the night, but they were too excited to almost fall asleep in the second half of the night, but they were chatting, thinking about the future, talking about ideals and so on.

In such a daze, I didn't fall asleep until about three or four o'clock in the morning.

And the little fat man Zhou Yu ran back early the next morning with some lifting equipment and some hot breakfast.

"Hahahaha, I, Hu Hansan, am back again!" Zhou Yu jumped into the belly of the boat and shouted excitedly, "Hurry up, tell me, what treasure have we found?"

"Oh, my dear Zhou, you are a demon. Do you know what time we went to bed yesterday? You woke us up so early."

Bell groaned in pain.

"Hey, Bell, I'm sorry, but I really want to know what we have gained as soon as possible!" Zhou Yu rubbed his nose in embarrassment and explained shyly.

"You can see for yourself, it's all piled up over there." Bell stretched out his hand, pointed to the direction inside, sent Zhou Yu away, and continued to sleep.

Xu Er stretched her waist, looked at Zhou Yu who was jumping around, and felt a little dazed, such a weighty person, jumping around on the boat, would it shake the boat?

For these shocking golds, Zhou Yu expressed extremely high enthusiasm. For gems, Zhou Yu liked them very much. He stroked almost every gem in his hand. As for the bronze mirrors, only I just looked up at it from a distance, and didn't even touch it.

Xu You shook his head, expressing regret for Zhou Yu's ignorance, and then packed these Tang mirrors into his arms.

Since everyone doesn't want it, I have to accept it myself.

It took several people two full days to load everything on board, and then headed back to San Francisco.

On the way back, Xu Er kept thinking about a question.

As the Maritime Silk Road, the goods transported by this cargo ship are a bit incomplete.

As far as Xu Wei knew, silk and porcelain were absolutely indispensable on cargo ships at that time.

But on the boat, Xu You didn't even find a piece of porcelain, which caught Xu You's attention strangely.

Moreover, the cargo on this cargo ship seems to be a little less, it is not full at all, only half of it at most.

Could it be that there is something that the four of them haven't found?

Xu You looked at the gradually shrinking desert island suspiciously, but her mind was not calm.

It seems that I should come here again in a few days, there should be some place that I haven't searched for.

For example, the place where the few survivors lived.

On that ship, there was no trace of anyone living there.

Where do they live?

Xu You is not reconciled if these things are not clarified.

But now is not the time to think about these things, Xu You thought as he saw Chen Zhibei who was waiting for him on the pier.

Finally, I can spend a period of time with Brother Beizi.

So, this is Mr. Xu You, whose scars healed and he forgot the pain.
