Back to the small fishing village in 1982Y

The father and son looked at each other in blank dismay.

"What's the matter? Why can't the fishing net be collected? Is the net lifting machine broken?"

Ye Yaodong also frowned, "Impossible? Isn't it running? Is it stuck? Or turn it off and pull it manually to see?"

It has been running there like this, pulling the fishing net, but it cannot be retracted, and if it is not turned off, no matter how thick the fishing net line of this trawling net is, the net will be broken.

Father Ye nodded, "Then turn it off, and pull it manually to see."

Ye Yaodong turned off the net machine, "Slow down the boat too."

He started to collect the net with his hands, and tried to pull it, but felt that it was strenuous, as if a heavy object had caught the fishing net, making him unable to drag it.

"It's not a problem with the net hauler, father, the speed of the boat suddenly slowed down just now, and it's not a problem with the engine, it's a problem with the fishing net, it can't be pulled."

Father Ye ran over after reducing his speed to the minimum, and tried to pull it, but found that it couldn't be pulled at all, "It's really a problem with the fishing net. Why did it happen suddenly? Is it really stuck?"

"Maybe, I'll go into the water and have a look."

Fortunately, there is diving equipment on the boat, and he can go down to the bottom of the sea to have a look, but if it is too deep, he still has to go down to have a look first. Fortunately, it is not completely dark yet.

"Then be careful, don't go down too deep, and come up quickly if you feel something is wrong."

"I know, it's not the first time I've gone into the water, don't worry."

Ye Yaodong took off his clothes and pants, took off his watch, put on his equipment, and jumped into the water under Ye's father's repeated instructions.

The light on the bottom of the sea is a bit dim, but he can barely see clearly. It is not a problem for Ye Yaodong to go down to a depth of more than 20 to [-] meters.

It just so happens that this is the coast, and there is a small island not far away. The seabed at this location is not very deep. As soon as he dived down, he saw the stretched fishing net underneath, and there were fish and shrimp swimming there. Bounce.

Swimming a little further downstream, he saw a hidden reef on the bottom of the sea, and he immediately understood that the bottom was really stuck.

When he swam around the reef where the fishing net was hung, he also alarmed the shrimp soldiers and crab generals around the reef, and they scattered all over the place in an instant. Ye Yaodong didn't care to look for the part where the fishing net was stuck, but at this moment, he found Something is wrong.

Why is there a gray and round thing in the fishing net?
The sky darkened, and the sight of the bottom of the sea could not be seen clearly, but he looked a bit like a washbasin. He swam over and touched it through the fishing net. There are patterns.

He suddenly clicked in his heart, metal utensils with patterns?Shouldn't you get some treasure?

It's a pity that I don't have a waterproof flashlight on my body, otherwise I can take a look.

He walked around the fishing net for a few steps, only to find some fragments scattered about a foot away to the side. It was dark and he couldn't see what it was, only the general shape.

He swam over and picked up one in his hand, only to find that it had three corners. He let go of his hand and stroked it in his heart. He felt that it was also full of patterns. He had some guesses in his mind. Wandered around.

In the end, he saw a black box full of seaweed in the seaweed. He went over to hug it full of doubts, but found that it was very heavy, and there was a lock on it.

"Where you're riding a horse, how many locks should you lock?"

After cursing inwardly, he thought about finding the place where the fishing net was caught. It was too heavy and inconvenient, so he didn't take it with him, and continued to search around the fishing net.

After turning around, I finally found the place where I was hooked. The top of a low reef was covered by fishing nets. No wonder I couldn't pull it up.

After Ye Yaodong rescued the fishing net, it was too late, so he went up directly. On the surface of the sea, it was already dark, and there was only a little light, and the lights on the boat were also turned on.

"How about it, Dongzi, are you on the bottom?"

He wiped the sea water from his face and said: "Almost, there is a hidden reef underneath, I have already untied it, try to activate the net lifting machine, and then pull it to see."

"Come up first."

"Well, I may have to go down again later." He said while climbing up with hands and feet.

"Why are you still going down?" Father Ye's eyes lit up instantly, "Is there any goods on the bottom of the sea? It's getting dark and you can't see the bottom of the sea. Come back tomorrow."

Ye Yaodong didn't say a word. He immediately untied the net bag on his waist after landing, and took out the three-legged thing he just picked up from the bottom of the sea. shocked.

Father Ye also saw the utensils in his hands at this time, and was immediately surprised.

"What is this, wine glass? What is this for?"

Although Ye's father is just an uneducated fisherman, he has also seen this wine glass in the movies that the movie mobile team went to the countryside.

Its shape is pointed at the front and turned up at the back, with the edge of the mouth curled outwards, a round bottom, a pair of umbrella-shaped pillars between the mouth and the flow, a straight belly, with many patterns on the abdomen, and three legs in the shape of a knife.

This one looks yellow, yellow and green, and the patterns on the abdomen are covered with seabed sand, and the patterns can't be seen clearly. Ye Yaodong is also an amateur, so he doesn't know what the shape is, he just thinks it's crooked.

"What are you using it for? Antiques in prosperous times, gold in troubled times, have you heard of them? This should be a bronze wine glass."

"Is this worth anything? Where did it come from? Did you just fish it from the bottom of the water?"

Father Ye didn't understand what antiques in prosperous times and gold in troubled times were. He just felt that these things looked useless.

Ye Yaodong nodded, excitedly put the wine glass in his hand under the orange light again, and said: "I just found it under the water, the light is not good, and I can't see clearly, so I took a belt Come up and have a look. This is an antique, and it is very valuable, but not now."

"what does it mean?"

"It means that it will be more valuable in the future."

"You know now that it will be worth money in the future? Who has nothing to do with this thing?"

"You do not understand!"

Father Ye watched him fiddling around and wanted to scold him a few words, but thinking about it, this son seemed to be more knowledgeable than him.

"Is there any more down there?"

"Also, there seems to be something like a washbasin in the net. I will raise the net later. There are many fishing boats at the moment, so hide it."

This is a bronze ware, an antique!In ancient times, bronze was politics and power!Didn't expect this baby to exist in the seabed around the coast?

It is also its fate that it is not towed up. Most people will not be able to trawl around the coast. There are few goods around the coast, and fishing boats will go to the offshore to haul.

At this time, there were many more fishing boats coming back around, and everyone greedily wanted to take advantage of the abundance of goods today to catch an extra net, so they all came back after dark.

When we got to the coast, everyone rushed to get to the shore early. When they saw Ye Yaodong and his boat standing still, everyone thought that his boat was in trouble, so they came over curiously to say hello and asked if they needed help. .

For a village, whose boat and what sign?Everyone knows that folks in the village generally have difficulties, and they will help them as much as they can.

Ye Yaodong also smiled and greeted them one by one, and declined, saying that the boat was fine, and they planned to call at the port after collecting a net.

It was on the sea, at this time, there were fishing boats docking one after another, which made him a little impatient to wait, and every time a boat came back, as long as he knew it, he would come to his side to ask.

Everyone was kind, and he could only greet him with a smile.

After seeing the fishing boats with no lights on in the distance, Ye Yaodong quickly activated the net lifting machine to lift the net.

Depending on the weight of the seabed cargo, the speed of the net lifting machine is generally about ten to 20 minutes, but this net was pulled for 20 minutes, and there were two more fishing boats with lights in the distance.

This made him a little impatient, he just wanted to sneak up and see what that round thing was?If he can keep it, he will definitely keep it first, and if he can't keep it, he can only hand it in. After all, it is a bronze ware.

One of the father and son was expecting, and the other was indifferent. They stood on the deck and looked at the sea. When the fishing net was about to reach the slide, they stretched out their hands to help pull the fishing net, but they could not pull the fishing net at all.

In the past, they could pull a load of one or two hundred catties up the chute little by little, but this time they couldn't pull it with all their strength.

"Fuck you, what's so heavy?" Ye Yaodong let go after cursing, planning to hold the bottom of the net machine and get on the slide when it was pulled up a bit.

But when the fishing net touched the hull, there was a thumping sound, and at the same time, the father and son could clearly see what was inside the fishing net.

"tripod?"

"Ding?"

"Huh? Ding?"

The two of them almost dropped their jaws, and kept exclaiming frequently.

No matter how educated, Ye's father knew that the "ding" was unusual. He had no idea about other things, but the tripod was used in temples, incense burners and halls.

"Is it a tripod? Not a washbasin???"

Ye Yaodong was also dumbfounded, he looked like a washbasin in the water, but he couldn't see his feet.

The group of damned fish was probably blocked by those shrimp soldiers and crab generals, and only the circular opening was seen.

The tripod is not an ordinary thing. It was originally just a cooking utensil and was also used for sacrifices. However, it is considered by later generations to be the utensil that best represents the supreme power among all bronze wares, such as the idiom "Aspire to the Great Treasure".

"Help me up first." Father Ye stopped talking nonsense and said positively.

The father and son struggled to get the fishing net onto the deck, only to see the tripod in the fishing net tilted there, and the fish and shrimp beside it were crushed to death and flattened by it, and seawater flowed out of the big tripod's round opening continuously. A blue stone spot suddenly swam out of it.

Usually they would be very happy, but now that there are pearls and jade in front of them, this blue stone spot can't arouse their interest at all.

Father Ye stood aside and murmured, "What's the matter? He's such a big guy, he has to move back, but he can't hide it."

"Tibet? Bronze wares are graded. This "ding" can be said to be the top. I am an enlightened person. Of course, this thing has to be handed in. Otherwise, will it be used as an incense burner at the door? My place is not a big temple. .”

This thing will be seen when it is pulled ashore. In two days, it will be spread all over the county as a rare event, and people from the county cultural center will come to the door. Now it is not the time when the four olds were broken, let alone the four olds. At that time, there were also people who knew the goods.

He has heard that as long as it is bronze, no matter what period it is, and no matter when it is unearthed, it is a cultural relic, and trading and private collection are prohibited.

However, at this time, the collection of cultural relics should not be so standardized, but no matter how educated he is, he also knows that the "ding" in the bronze ware is a national treasure under the popular science of the short video.

National treasures must be handed in. Keeping them at home is a disaster. People can’t collect them. It’s better to hand them in for peace of mind, so as not to cause trouble, and at least they can get an honor and a commendation.

He touched the wine glass in his pocket, but it couldn't keep it.

Father Ye nodded, "It has to be handed in, this thing is unusual at first glance."

"First untie the fishing net and stand it up, the fish and shrimps underneath will be crushed by it."

The father and son worked together to stand up and straighten it.

I saw that this tripod was covered with red spots and green rust from the outside to the bottom. At a glance, one could tell that it had been aged for some years. It had an air of simplicity and vicissitudes from the inside to the outside, but it was well preserved.
