treasure hunt god pupil

Chapter 126 Huge Gong
After lunch, the master and apprentice were chatting in the shop, Liu Yingying opened the door and walked in, her face was flushed, and she still smelled of alcohol clearly.

Liu Chuanqing frowned suddenly and said unhappily: "What kind of wine is a girl drinking? It's still a hot day. What if something happens?"

"Dad, today is a dinner party for our classmates. In a few days, we will all go our separate ways. It will be difficult to get together, so I can't help but drink a few glasses because of sadness. I was going to sing after dinner, but I didn't go. came back."

"If you have to drink in the future, tell us in advance."

"Dad, don't worry, I will always remember what I said just now." Liu Yingying was not drunk, but a little over the top, she sat on the chair next to Li Mo, "Xiao Mo, today we have dinner, guess what I met Who is it?"

How could Li Mo guess this nonsensical question.

"You would never have imagined that we would run into that big star Qin Sirui. They should be having a dinner with the crew, right next to our box."

Liu Yingying took out her mobile phone and opened a photo and said excitedly: "This is a group photo we took. Qin Sirui is even more beautiful in real life than the one on TV. Look at her little face. I'm so envious of her skin."

Li Mo looked at the photo, and Qin Sirui's face was a little more smiling, and a little less cold than before.

"Look again, isn't this Qin Sirui particularly beautiful?"

"Can I say I'm blind?" Li Mo knew that this question was a trap, and if she answered it nicely, Liu Yingying would say that you guys are vulgar; if the answer was not pretty, or something like that, she would say you guys are hypocrites.He has experienced such similar tortures, so now that he encounters this problem, he has also learned to practice Tai Chi.

"You're still smart, you haven't been dazzled by beauty." Liu Yingying opened a bottle of mineral water and drank non-stop.

"Drink it slowly, and no one will grab it from you."

Liu Chuanqing was really worried, even his daughter was afraid that she would choke on drinking water.

Ding, the wind chime at the door rang, and someone pushed the door and walked in. It was an old man who collected second-hand goods.Li Mo often saw him, and he wandered around this area every day.

"Master, are you okay?"

The clothes on the old man's body were soaked with sweat, he wiped the sweat from his head with the towel hanging around his neck, and said a little uneasy: "Little boss, I received something from an old house yesterday, it's quite big , It’s like a round table. I didn’t pay attention to it at first, but when I went back to tidy it up at night, I found it more and more strange, and it didn’t look like an ordinary thing. So I came to ask the little boss, if you have time to take a look?”

"Master, why are you looking for Xiao Mo?" Liu Yingying asked curiously.

The old man smiled honestly and said: "I have been collecting second-hand goods in this neighborhood for more than ten years. Every time I see this little boss, he will take the initiative to say hello to me, and he has never looked down on me from the bottom of his heart. I just believe That's why he came here and asked the little boss to help me take a look."

Anyway, it's fine now, so Li Mo didn't think too much, took two bottles of water, gave the old man one and said, "Master, is it close to here? If it's close, we'll go there now."

"It's about 10 minutes to walk there, little boss, I really trouble you."

The place where the old man lives is also an old house. This area cannot be demolished due to historical reasons, so it forms a very special urban village, which has been planned to be an ancient village tourist attraction.

I followed the old man through several alleys and finally arrived at the place where he lived. It was a small yard filled with all kinds of second-hand goods, such as waste cardboard boxes, scrap iron and copper, scrapped electrical appliances, and books. .

"Master, the outdoor temperature is so high now, and you have piled up so many waste paper and books, be careful not to cause a fire."

Li Mo kindly reminded him that this matter should not be sloppy.

"The little boss is right. Generally, the second-hand goods I received that day will be sorted overnight and sold the next day. Didn't I encounter that strange thing last night, so I didn't go there today. Little boss, that thing is more Big and conspicuous, I put it in the house."

"Go into the house and have a look."

The old man unlocked and opened the door. The house was tidy and there was no smell.Lying in the hall of the house is a round thing with a diameter of about 1.4 meters, the surface is full of dirt, and there is a little unevenly distributed light green substance.

Out of instinct, the first reaction in Li Mo's mind was that the green substance should be copper rust.

"Little boss, do you see anything special about this?"

Li Mo squatted down and wiped the surface with his hands. The dirt was actually the result of oxidation after long-term exposure to the air.If you look closely, you can see a faint golden color under the dirt.

"Is this made of copper?"

Li Mo immediately denied this guess, the color of copper is reddish, not golden.

Scanning the surface with his eyes, he found that there were two small holes the size of thumbs very close to each other, which should be used to thread rope or something, and then hung it up.

"Master, is there a pattern on the back of this thing?"

"Yes, I will turn it over."

"Let me do it." Li Mo grabbed the edge and easily turned it over. This round thing is not light, weighing about 150 kilograms.

After turning it over, Li Mo saw that the surface was actually engraved with animal patterns, counting exactly twelve animals, and it happened to correspond to the patterns of the twelve zodiac signs.

"Little boss, do you think this looks like an antique?"

The old man asked in a low voice with a little expectation.

Li Mo didn't answer immediately, but used his different pupils. When his line of sight easily penetrated the round object, a darker golden halo suddenly came out, forming circles of light that spread out.

The color of this halo is between purple-gold and gold. According to the time, it should be the period of transition from the Qin Dynasty to the Han Dynasty.

Things have gone awry, this thing is not only an antique, but it may also have a lot of history.Because in his different eyes, this round object is more like a huge copper gong. The materials for casting the copper gong are mainly gold and copper, but the specific composition ratio is not clear.

No matter how much the gold ratio is, it was stipulated in the Qin Dynasty that gold was the upper currency, and its value was extremely high. It is hard to imagine who could have such a big deal during the transitional period of the Qin and Han Dynasties, using gold and copper to cast such a large gong. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is extremely luxurious.

A person with such a large generosity is definitely not an unknown person in history.

"Little boss, little boss."

The old man pushed Li Mo gently, and Li Mo came back to his senses.

"Little boss, can this thing see something?"

Li Mo calmed down and said, "Master, do you really believe me?"

"If I don't believe you, I won't go to you directly." The old man didn't look away, he was telling the truth.

"Master, this thing that looks like a huge gong is an antique, but I don't know what it is, and it's hard to confirm how valuable it is, but what is certain is that it contains gold and copper."

"Gold ingredients?"

The old man guessed that it might be an antique, but not that it was made of gold and copper.

"Master, what are you going to do with this thing?"

"Little boss, to be honest, I bought it at a unit price of ten yuan. The owner is also a widowed old man, who is about 80 years old. I heard from him that his son bought it from other places more than 20 years ago. My son died in an accident, and this thing has been kept in the old house."

"He didn't know what it was, because he was old and his legs and feet were inconvenient, so he just disposed of it casually, so as not to take up space at home."

The old man paused before continuing: "Little boss, are you willing to accept this antique?"

"I can accept it, but I don't know the exact price. Uncle, we don't even know how much gold is in it. Perhaps gold alone is very valuable, let alone an antique."

The old man thought for a while, then stretched out his right hand and said, "Little Boss, if you are willing to pay 50 yuan, I will transfer it to you. Even if it will be worth a fortune in the future, I will not regret it."

50 is really not much, even as an antique, it is far more than this price.
