treasure hunt god pupil

Chapter 127

Seeing that Li Mo didn't agree immediately, the old man thought that he thought the asking price was too high, so he couldn't help but look sad and said: "Little boss, the price can be lower. I have a grandson and granddaughter in my hometown. They are all very good at studying, and they will definitely have no problem getting into college." , I just want to prepare more money for the two children."

"Where are the children's parents?"

"It's all the fault of poverty. Their mother divorced when the children were young. Their father used to do a small business of collecting second-hand goods. Once a tricycle rolled over and crushed his leg. Because the treatment was not timely, his leg was broken. Disabled. So they stayed in their hometown, and I came to Shanghai to do this small business of recycling old goods."

"Little boss, how about 40?" The old man asked tentatively.

Li Mo shook his head, and said solemnly: "This antique has some background, and its value must be far more than 50. Sir, this antique needs to be identified by experts in detail, and it may be priceless."

"This, this, hey, if it's really priceless, I wouldn't dare to ask for it, little boss, can you understand what I mean?"

Li Mo nodded.

"Little boss, I want 50."

Li Mo thought for a while and said, "Grandpa, I will give you 50 first, and then leave a phone number for you. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can contact me at any time."

"In addition, I suggest that you re-apply for a bank card. Even if your family members don't know about it, you keep it safe and take out the money slowly. It means that the second-hand goods business is doing well."

The old man was grateful to Dade, and almost knelt down to Li Mo. 50 was an astronomical figure for him. With this money, the living conditions of the family would improve a lot.

"Master, then please help me transport it to the store. When the time comes, we will sign a contract. Is it okay for me to accompany you to the bank to apply for a card and send money to you?"

"Okay, very good, little boss, I will move into the car now."

"Master, go and turn the car around, it's heavy, I can move it by myself."

The old man was still very careful in his work, and he used a lot of cardboard to pave three layers for fear of bumping into antiques on the road.After Li Mo moved the huge gong to the tricycle by himself, the old man covered it with a piece of rain-proof canvas.

Soon the two returned to Gu Yunxuan, Li Mo greeted the master and moved the gong to the backyard.

"Xiao Mo, what is such a big thing?"

"Master, you should keep an eye on this one. Even if all the porcelain in the store is stolen, you can't throw this thing away. I have initially identified it. It may be an antique from the Qin and Han Dynasties. I don't know exactly what it is."

When Liu Chuanqing heard that it was from the Qin and Han Dynasties, he nodded as if he was busy eating rice: "I'm temporarily closed, and I'll come over to see what it is."

"Master, get the old man a contract of 50 yuan, and I will take him to the bank to handle the payment procedures later."

When the 50 money was transferred to the old man's new card, he couldn't help but choked up tears as he wiped it over and over again.

"Boss, thank you so much."

"Master, this money is a lot of money in my hometown, you have to keep it safe. If you continue to stay in the Town God's Temple area in the future, please contact me at any time."

"Yeah, little boss, a good man will be rewarded."

After separating from the old man, Li Mo returned to Gu Yunxuan, and saw Liu Chuanqing brushing gently with a brush, and Yingying standing aside with an ice cream.

"Little Mo, this thing is really not simple. You can see that the exposed color is golden yellow, with a shiny luster and copper rust, which means that it contains gold and copper."

Li Mo squatted beside him: "Master, do you see anything else?"

"There are carvings of the twelve zodiac signs on one side. You can see that the shape of the 'dragon' has the most characteristic of the times. In the Qin and Han Dynasties, the dragon pattern was mostly animal-shaped, with complete limbs and claws, and the image was basically finalized, that is, long horns and animal feet. , Snake body. Your judgment is correct, this is indeed the style of the Qin and Han Dynasties."

"Dad, such a big thing must weigh more than 100 catties. If the gold content is high, isn't it very valuable in itself?"

Liu Yingying touched it and said.

"Yes, this requires scientific identification to know how much it contains. Xiao Mo, how do you plan to identify this thing?"

"I want to remind you that you have made too much noise in the past few months. The popularity of "Picture of Emperors of Past Dynasties" has not decreased after a month, but has become more and more intense, especially since the valuation has risen to 23 billion. Every day people are asking who is the owner of the imperial map?"

Li Mo sighed and said, "So this month I've been staying at home, or at the driving school, without any communication with the outside world."

"In this way, I will take a few more photos first, and then look up some information by myself to see if I can find out some useful information. If I still have no clue at the end, I will ask the teacher for help."

Li Mo took out his mobile phone and began to focus on taking photos. He took more than 50 photos mainly for the details, then measured several dimensions with a ruler, and weighed them in detail.

"Little Mo, the research value of this thing is very high, so it's not appropriate to put it here."

"This thing is too big. I'll take it back to the old house for a while, and wait until I find some clues."

Li Mo found a truck in the old street of Chenghuangmiao, and transported the giant gong back to Shuxiang Mingyuan.

He first searched for some keywords on the Internet, but the keywords may not be accurate and no useful information was found

For the next few days, he spent time in the library of the Modu, especially the official history, unofficial history, and biographies of the Qin and Han Dynasties, which were the main materials he inquired.

It's a pity that there is not enough time. Tomorrow is the first day of school, and he has to go to Kyoto to go through the registration procedures.Then participate in a month-long military training, and the research on this giant gong will also be delayed.

"Son, you have been studying this gong for the past few days, have you come to any conclusion?" Shi Yi usually helped Li Mo pack his luggage, and usually chatted with him beside him.

"It's not that easy."

Li Mo was lying on the sofa, looking at the ceiling, thinking whether he was looking in the wrong direction.

"Since you have no idea, why don't you ask your teacher for help?"

"The teacher has not been in Kyoto for more than ten days. He participated in an archaeological excavation project. I contacted him yesterday. It was his teaching assistant who answered the phone and said that the teacher was very busy, so I didn't bother him anymore. Mom, I will go alone tomorrow. You don’t need to send me off for registration. I’ll contact professors from other history departments when I arrive at Peking University and ask them for advice.”

The last time we discussed the map of emperors together, he was very familiar with several professors from the Department of History of Peking University. After the press conference of "Picture of Emperors of Past Dynasties", those professors who participated in the discussion were invited by other organizations to give lectures, and everyone was very popular. , Naturally, the remuneration for lectures will not be small.

"Since you don't need us to send it off, you can tell us when you arrive."

"Mom, don't worry, I won't worry you if I'm alone. By the way, how is your training structure?"

"It's too hot, your dad will follow what you said, take a few Chen family juniors to set up a booth in a place where there are many children in the park, and practice martial arts there for several days, and more and more children sign up. We are going to put The shops next to it were also sold out, and the signboard of Chen Style Bajiquan was officially displayed."

"The few plans I wrote to Dad, you can choose to try according to the actual situation, and there may be unexpected effects."

"Don't worry about things at home. You should study hard at Beijing University and contact us in time if you have something to do. In addition, you can go and see Yingying whenever you have time. It's the first time that the child has traveled far away to live alone. It would be better if you take care of her."
