The "treasures" in Baihe Bay were scattered all over the place. Lin Dong did not want to waste too much energy, so he only used his invisible hand to grab a few.
His main targets were those that were large or suitable for use.
The rest were left behind.
The first was the old High Scholar's favorite and heirloom inkstone. His grandfather often bragged about it. It was said to be the Seven Star Inkstone. A small amount of silver and copper coins were scattered around. He grabbed them all. The second was the jade paperweight, which was also one of the old High Scholar's treasures. There were also a dozen pieces of distorted female jewelry. His grandfather always regretted that he did not have any jewelry for his grandmother. In order to fulfill his grandfather's wish, Lin Dong decided to try using the Alchemy Gloves to see if he could repair a few pieces.
The last was the big copper basin.
The reason why he wanted this basin was because of Lin Dong's childhood memories.
He remembered that when he was young, his grandmother often used a big copper basin to bathe herself. Later, someone was greedy and stole the copper basin. Although his grandmother bought a bigger red plastic basin with more water, it could not replace the copper basin that Lin Dong loved the most.
"It's not mine." Lin Dong smiled. This copper basin was quite different from the one he had. He hesitated for a while and decided to keep it.
After grabbing the painting vats, Lin Dong found that they were broken and did not look the same as before.
He sighed and abandoned the river again.
With so many harvests, Lin Dong's interest was piqued. Were there more in the surroundings?
He decided to walk around the village to see if there were any "treasures" that the landlords had secretly buried underground.
Another day passed.
Lin Dong went to the old site of his school, which was also the former residence of the High Scholar, the "Flying Ink Garden". Under the pile of rubble, Lin Dong found a jade pillow buried deep underground and a small jar of Nu 'er Hong.
The High Scholar might have forgotten that he had buried this jar of wine, or he passed away too quickly and did not tell anyone. In short, no one knew that there was wine here. Even the jade pillow was not recorded. If it wasn't for Lin Dong's True Eyes, these things would have been buried forever. However, even though this jar of wine was sealed, it had already dried up after so many years. Lin Dong took it out with an invisible hand and asked Zhang Degui to go to town to buy a new bottle of Nu 'er Hong and put it in front of his grandparents' coffins.
"This is illogical!" When Lin Dong called the class rep, Mingge was shocked. "I don't believe you, Blockhead. How can you dig up an antique every time you go home? You must be lying to me! "
"Then I'll take a few photos and send them over for you to see." Lin Dong loved to see her arrogant expression when she was obviously crazy with joy but insisted on denying it.
"Ah, it can't be, there are antiques! Don't you often complain about being poor and say that your family is too poor to eat? "When the class leader saw that it was true, she immediately expressed her shock.
"These were just dug out from the ground, okay?" Lin Dong couldn't help but complain, "I'm poor, yes, but my ancestors were rich!"
"Is there more in the ground? If there's a Yuan Dynasty porcelain, then you'll have money for your car and house. "The class rep was excited when she heard this.
"Do you think this is peanuts? There's more after digging. "Lin Dong was speechless.
"Liar, I must be dreaming …" The class rep thought about it and still couldn't believe it.
"Grandpa told me that his ancestor was a Juren Duke and left behind an heirloom, but it's buried in the ground." Lin Dong spent a lot of effort to dispel her doubts. Even though he explained it this way, the class rep still asked, "Why didn't grandpa dig it himself? Why did he keep it for you? "
"In his era, even if he dug it up, he wouldn't dare to take it out!" Lin Dong wiped the sweat off his forehead. "Hewan Primary School was rebuilt based on the former residence of the High Scholar, Wui Mo Yuan. The original study room was on the other side of the wall. The High Scholar buried his family heirloom under the study room, which means it was buried under the pile of rocks around the old wall of the school. Before the merger, there were nearly a hundred students and teachers in the school. How could they dig it out in front of everyone? Even if they dug it out, they had to hand it in. "
"That's not fair. Grandpa told you, why didn't grandma tell me?" The class rep was conflicted about this.
"It's passed down to males, not females," Lin Dong replied calmly.
"That means grandma probably doesn't know, or she would have told me." Mingge's deduction made her happy. Grandma had given her all the power in the family. If she knew there was an heirloom, there was no reason she wouldn't have a share.
"How are you doing?" Lin Dong changed the topic to prevent her imagination from running wild.
"I've been working through two nights, and I'm almost done." The class rep yawned tiredly. "Wait for me to have a good night's sleep, and I'll go find you tomorrow. By the way, I'll ask someone to see if the antiques are valuable, but the photos might not be accurate. It's best to bring them to Dong Mountain to be appraised. That way, it'll be more sincere. I say, blockhead, if it's really valuable, then you'll be rich. Not only will you be able to solve the problem of food and clothing, but you might even be able to become a serf and become a master! "
"Even if it's worth a million, you can't buy a toilet in the city center of Dong Mountain. It's too early for a poor person to become a master." Lin Dong laughed.
The heirloom that he dug out was far from his expectations.
But he didn't want to sell it.
"Why buy a house in the city center? I think the air in the suburbs is better. Buy a small villa with mountains and rivers on one side, surrounded by flowers. In the morning, the two of us can run and do aerobics. In the morning, we can sing to welcome the rising sun, and in the evening, we can laugh to send off the sunset. In the daytime, we can plant flowers, and in our free time, we can travel. That kind of life is enjoyable. "The class rep's imagination was very strong. She probably never thought that even in the suburbs of Dong Mountain, the price of a villa was a terrifying figure that ordinary people couldn't earn in ten lifetimes.
"Hey, hipsterism is a disease, it needs to be cured!" Lin Dong was speechless.
"You are the one with hipsterism. That is my great dream. When I earn enough money, I promise to buy two villas. One for people to live in, and the other for leisure …" The class rep on the other side of the phone let out a very chuunibyou laugh.
For this girl with a constantly changing personality, Lin Dong really couldn't do anything to her.
Not even two hours later.
Lin Dong, who had just woken up from his lunch break, received a call from the class rep.
"I have good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?" The class rep liked to tease people. Sometimes, she was like a naughty cat.
"Good news." Lin Dong decided to let this girl be proud for a while.
"The good news is that the things are real. All three are antiques. I suggest that you carefully dig the ground again. Maybe there are still some left out." The class rep's mouth didn't say it, but her voice was gloating. If it wasn't for the Lin Dong's memory, whenever he was in trouble, this girl would be the first to lend a helping hand. Otherwise, he would have been deceived by her.
"What about the bad news?" Lin Dong, of course, cooperated.
"The bad news is that they are very cheap. If you want to count on them to make a comeback, it seems unlikely." The class rep paused: "The expert said that the inkstone is not worth much. It is estimated to be two thousand yuan at most. It is up to you whether you want to sell it or not. The jade paperweight is a bit better. If you are willing to sell it, he will pay twenty-three thousand yuan. As for the jade pillow, the expert offered a price of eighty-five thousand yuan. If you agree, the total for the two is one hundred and eight thousand. Blockhead classmate, you can't buy a toilet in the city center, but you can buy a toilet bowl. What do you think? "
"Not much …" Lin Dong began to counterattack: "I also have good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?"
