Back to the small fishing village in 1982Y

The corrosion of seawater is very severe, but the corrosion process of bronze materials in seawater is more difficult than that of copper, tin and lead.

This is determined by the nature of its alloy. The most difficult to be corroded is the lead in it. Bronze ware with a large amount of lead is relatively better preserved even in seawater.

Most of the bronze wares were unearthed from the tombs, and there were very few bronze wares salvaged from seawater, but Ye Yaodong felt that these bronze wares were stolen and transported by sea, but accidentally fell into the water due to an accident.

After all, during the war, many antique porcelain calligraphy and paintings in their country were stolen by foreign countries.

"This 'cauldron' doesn't look too strange, does it?" Father Ye took a flashlight and shone it back and forth, turning it around, but didn't understand where the baby was?
"It's rare enough that something that has been preserved for thousands of years is still in the sea."

"That's true." Hearing this explanation, Ye's father also felt that it made sense. Any machine left in the sea is prone to rust, let alone things that have been soaked in the sea for thousands of years, it is still fine when taken out.

"Hey~ Don't you say there are still in the sea? Do you want to go into the water? Go into the water tomorrow?"

"I don't care about him, but I saw a black box, I'll go down and fish it out first."

After Ye Yaodong finished speaking, he looked at the surrounding sea. Fortunately, he just saw two boats with lights in the distance, and they didn't go towards them. They probably belonged to other villages.

"It's getting dark, and I can't see, tomorrow?"

"I'm afraid I won't be able to make it in time tomorrow, so let's go down now." He said as he put on his diving gear again.

"How could it be too late?"

"The villagers know that I have fished a tripod and come back, so they can definitely guess the reason why we have been staying here at night. So many fishing boats saw us in front of us. I will come here again tomorrow. Everyone will stare and see what will be caught by then. I can't hide it anymore."

"Okay, then if you can't see clearly when you go down, just come up."

In fact, Father Ye was a little unconcerned. He didn't have the concept of antiques, but he felt that the special thing "Ding" was unusual. He didn't have any concept of other things.

However, Dongzi doesn't want people to know, if he wants to get into the water now, then let's get into the water now.

Ye Yaodong just memorized the approximate location of the wooden box, it is not far from the bronze tripod and the bronze wine cup, so it should not be an ordinary thing.

He went into the water in the dark, thinking that there would be no light on the bottom of the sea, but he didn't expect that there were a lot of glowing algae on the bottom of the sea, and some jellyfish around them were glowing.

The bottom of the sea in the dark also has a different scene, the bottom of the night looks much more lively than the daytime, and some marine creatures that cannot be seen during the day appear at night.

Ye Yaodong determined the location by the faint light from the underwater creatures, and saw the black box. He swam over to hold the heavy box in his arms, and he followed the old method, tying the rope, and he went up to the buoy first to pull the goods. For other things, he Don't worry about it.

Father Ye was relieved when he saw that he came up to the surface within a short while after going down. After all, the night was more dangerous, and there was another boat coming.

"It's pretty fast this time."

"Well, I'll come up when I find it."

After Ye Yaodong climbed onto the boat, he pulled the small box up.

Father Ye helped to take the black box, and it sank a bit, "This little box is so heavy? It still has a lock?"

"I don't know what it is, but it's still locked. Put it in the bucket and cover it with a cloth, and then open it when you go back."

"There's a boat coming, I'll go sail and you put it away first."

Ye Yaodong took the black box again, and without taking a second look at it, he quickly put it into the bucket, covered it with a rag, and the boat quickly drove to the bank of the village.

Don't look at the coast, but it takes more than ten, twenty, 10 minutes to drive to the shore.

As soon as their boat docked, the boats behind them also docked. Under the light on the shore, the boats beside them were also surprised to see a big tripod on their boat.

"Dongzi, where did you get the tripod?"

Ye Yaodong turned his head to look, only to find that the boat beside him that had just docked belonged to Ah Guang. He had just bent down to pick up the goods, and didn't pay attention to the boat beside him.

"It's fished in the sea, just around the coast, and I was shocked when I just caught it."

Father Pei smiled and said, "It can be placed in the lobby of the Mazu Temple, just to make use of it."

"Yes, it can be put in the Mazu Temple, it's not in vain." A Guang also laughed.

Ye Yaodong was also a little moved immediately, the country people in this day and age don't understand the goods, they don't know the value, so it's good to honor Mazu.

People on the beach believe in Mazu, but no one steals from Mazu. If someone from the government really finds it, it will be fine to bring it to the Mazu temple.

"It makes sense. I'll move directly to Mazu Temple later. This height is also suitable."

He didn't feel at ease if he didn't want to leave it at home. This tripod was originally a cooking utensil, but later it was used for sacrifices. It turned living things into dead things. It's terrible!
When he moved back home, he was afraid that his house would not be able to support him, and he would be on the verge of hanging for a few days.

Either put this thing in a museum or in a temple.

"How is your harvest today?"

"It's okay, it's pretty good, help me lift it later, it's quite heavy."

"Okay, let's sell the goods on the ship first."

When they sold all the goods and returned to the boat, many people there also saw the big tripod on Ye Yaodong's boat, and everyone discussed it there.

"Such a big tripod was fished from the sea, right?"

"Where did Ye Laosan get a tripod back? Why did he bring back a big lump every three days, either a machine or a big tripod."

"This thing doesn't look like gold or silver, is it copper?"

"This is feudal dross..."

"Dianbo, that chaotic period has long passed, but what is such a big cauldron used for?"

"It's useless, it looks old, and it takes up space, and it's in the way wherever you put it."

The villagers didn't realize that this was a national treasure, but they still thought it was quite rare. No one had ever caught such a big lump.

"Let's make room first..."

"Hey~ Ah Dong, did you fish this nearby? Is there such a thing on the bottom of the sea?"

After being reminded, everyone came to their senses and remembered that just now his fishing boat stayed in that sea area for a long time without moving, and he said that the boat was fine and would come back after catching a net.

"Oh, did you fish for Haidilao just now? I said why did you stay there for so long and didn't come back."

Ye Yaodong and the others didn't have time to pay attention to the villagers' questions, they worked together to lift the tripod to the cart, and put the cart horizontally, while Ye's father was still helping the tripod to save it from falling down.

Father Pei knocked on the big tripod, "This tripod is not light, it weighs a hundred catties."

When they put the tripod on the cart, the villagers also gathered around, feeling a little strange, touching and knocking.

"This tripod should be able to sell for some money, right?"

"It should be able to sell for dozens of yuan..."

"Ask the trash collector tomorrow and you'll know..."

The corners of Ye Yaodong's mouth twitched when he heard the words, this thing is sold for junk?

He didn't know whether to laugh, or laugh, or laugh.

"If you don't sell this big lump, what are you doing for the tens of dollars? I'm going to put it in the Mazu Temple to honor our Mazu Empress, and bless us to go to sea safely and safely."

"Oh, yes, yes, yes...it's just right to put it in the Mazu Temple..."

"Yes, yes, use it to stick incense and burn it..."

"A Dong is still very enlightened..."

"Yes, put it in the Mazu Temple, and with Mazu's blessing, you will definitely be able to get more goods safely."

"Put it in the Mazu Temple, and sell it to the junk collectors..."

"Let's help carry it~"

"I'm here to help~"

"I'm coming too~"

The villagers were so enthusiastic that they rolled up their sleeves and rushed to grab it. The tripod that had been put on the cart was lifted up by them.

"Let's go, let's go together, Ah Dong."

Just like that, Ye Yaodong was surrounded by the villagers and walked towards the Matsu Temple. He was still thinking about the black box in his bucket, so he could only wink at his father, telling him to look at it and take it back first.

Father Ye understood it, and although he wanted to follow along, Dongzi seemed to value it, so he had to hold back.

"I'll take those fish back for you first."

He can still trust his own father.

As long as the villagers are involved in the matter of the Mazu Temple, they are extremely enthusiastic. This is faith.

Each of the three villagers raised a foot and carried the tripod directly into the Mazu Temple. The old man who watched the temple also ran out quickly. After knowing the purpose of coming, he quickly asked everyone to carry it to the back door to clean it.

The villagers didn't need his help, and they spontaneously took buckets to the well to fetch water, those who took the brush took the brush, and cleaned the cauldron in three or two strokes, and even took the rag to clean the inside and outside of the tripod. wiped several times
"Okay, okay, is it clean? Where do you want to put it?"

The old man watching the temple pointed to them, "Put it there first, and let it pray for a while."

"Row."

Anyway, they don't understand the twists and turns in the temple, so they just listen to what the old man says.

"Ah Dong, go tell Mazu that you offered him a tripod."

"Oh."

He was a little embarrassed at once, what if someone from a cultural center or museum finds out about this dedication, what should I do if I take it back?
Forget it, who cares, anyway, it's a follow-up matter, and it's not his problem, he is also sincere.

In front of the Mazu Buddha statue, after chanting for a while, and bowing again, he got up and went out with everyone.

On the way back, my ears were full of discussions about how he got a big tripod and dedicated it to Mazu. Everyone praised him for his high awareness, which could be sold for tens of dollars, but he actually donated it directly. , no wonder he was lucky.

Ye Yaodong just wanted to laugh when he heard that.
