Chapter 337 Waiting for the situation
Ning Yuan was also aroused by Zhong Yuemin's weird look.
After putting down the dishes in his hands, he followed Zhong Yuemin into their house.
Zhong Yuemin walked to a wooden cabinet, opened the door, and took out two cloth bags.
After turning around and handing it to Ning Yuan, he said this.
"Dude, we got this with great difficulty. Open it and see if it's worth the money!"
Ning Yuan picked up the cloth bag and heard a crisp sound of "ding-dang ding-dang!" from inside.
There was no time to guess, so he just put it on the bed and untied the cloth bundle.
When Ning Yuan opened it, he was really dazzled!
Damn, this was dug out from the tomb of some prince or noble.
They are all exquisite!
There are more than a dozen pieces of white blood-soaked jade of various shapes. These things are obviously burial objects and there is no need to study them in detail.
There are also three tri-colored horses with different body shapes.
The tri-colored horse is the most common motif in Tang tri-colored pottery. It was often used as a burial object and was very popular in the Tang Dynasty.
At the end of the Tang Dynasty, due to the decline of national strength, the production of tri-color pottery began to gradually shrink, and the quality of objects including tri-color horses was much worse than before.
But these tri-colored horses in front of Ning Yuan are obviously products of the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, and their value is inestimable!
Of course, for this kind of item, the most important factor in judging the price is still how much it is cherished.
When Tang Sancai was discovered in the early 20th century, it did not attract the attention of domestic collectors, mainly because it was a burial object and was not very auspicious.
However, foreigners had no such scruples and bought up large quantities of fine sancai wares, which eventually led to the export of a large number of fine sancai wares. By the time domestic collectors realized this, the resources of Tang sancai wares had almost dried up.
In later generations, these tri-color horses, which were not of the best quality and made of the best materials, could still be auctioned for millions.
Not to mention the top-quality tri-color horses in front of Ning Yuan, which have plump bodies, lifelike expressions, and transparent and natural glaze colors.
Good stuff! It is indeed good stuff!
Although Ning Yuan has already collected many excellent items in Sijiu City.
Compared with those things, these tri-color horses are actually slightly inferior, but it cannot be denied that these tri-color horses are also rare and good things.
After Ning Yuan put down the Tang Sancai horses, he turned his attention to the jade artifacts.
The form and carving technique also appear to be standard styles from the early to mid-Tang period.
Well, it seems that this is an ancient jade from the Tang Dynasty. Although this kind of jade is not as transparent as the mutton-fat white jade after the mid-Qing Dynasty, it is more or less soaked in blood and has quite a lot of value.
After looking at it for a while, Ning Yuan was about to close the bag and ask Zhong Yuemin about the origins of these things.
But suddenly he realized something!
The tri-colored horses and jade wares from the Tang Dynasty are of similar age and are both burial objects!
This tomb chamber that they had just explored at noon seemed to be from the Tang Dynasty as well.
Could it be that? Where did they get these things from?
Of course, the things were a small matter, and Ning Yuan wouldn’t care about it. What he suddenly realized were the body fragments at the door!
"Yuemin, where did you get these things?"
When Zhong Yuemin saw Ning Yuan close the cloth bag, he looked at Ning Yuan with hope. After hearing Ning Yuan's question, he was stunned for a moment, and then immediately spoke.
"Don't worry about where I got these things. First, tell me, are they worth anything?"
"It's worth a lot of money!"
Ning Yuan nodded and spoke hurriedly, then continued to look at Zhong Yuemin.
"Hey, that's fine. It's not in vain for us guys to go through so much trouble!"
After hearing Ning Yuan's reply, Zhong Yuemin said with a smile.
"To be honest with you, I got these things by going into a valley with my brothers!"
Ning Yuan thought to himself, "As expected," and then he asked.
"Is it a gourd-shaped valley, wide at the top and narrow at the bottom? There's another canyon inside, and further inside is that Tang Dynasty tomb?"
After hearing Ning Yuan say it almost exactly, Zhong Yuemin was a little stunned, but still nodded and said.
"It's that valley. Why? Have you been in there to take a look?"
"Of course, we came from this direction in the north, so how could we not pass by that valley? By the way, tell me about it~"
Before Ning Yuan could finish his words, he was suddenly interrupted by Zhong Yuemin.
"Tell me about the entrance to the tomb and the situation with those corpses, right?"
When Zhong Yuemin heard that Ning Yuan and his friends had already been to this valley, he naturally understood what question Ning Yuan was going to ask, so he just rushed to ask it.
Ning Yuan nodded without saying anything.
After seeing Ning Yuan's reaction, Zhong Yuemin didn't keep the conversation going and spoke directly.
"Originally, we were planning to go into the mountains to look for some valuables, but when we walked into the valley and groped our way to the entrance of this tomb, we happened to run into that gang of tomb robbers!"
Ning Yuan nodded when he heard this. When he saw those pieces of meat, he actually had some guesses about their identities.
After all, it was deep in the mountains and forests, and at this time, a group of people inexplicably appeared at the door of the tomb. Apart from these professionals, there was probably no one else.
"and then?"
Ning Yuan continued to ask.
"Nothing much. The weapons in the hands of those bastards are much better than ours. Seven or eight guns are pointed at us brothers."
"You bastard, you really think you have us under control! You actually let your dog bite us!"
Ning Yuan's face changed when he heard Zhong Yuemin say that the other party had seven or eight guns, but when he thought about how they had just had dinner and it seemed that no one was missing, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Can we brothers tolerate this? He thought we wouldn't dare to confront them head-on, but I did it anyway!"
"We killed over a dozen people on the other side in one go, and only two of our guys were injured!"
After watching Zhong Yuemin finish his account of what happened quite complacently, Ning Yuan began to feel a little scared.
He didn't blame Zhong Yuemin for his head-on confrontation. After all, when he heard what Zhong Yuemin said just now, he knew what that group of people were planning.
At this time of year, if they break into tombs and steal those old items and then leak them out, it would be enough to cost them their lives.
Therefore, it is not surprising that these people want to kill Zhong Yuemin and others.
The only thing they probably didn't expect was that these educated youth were not the sheep-like type they had seen in the past!
Each of them is like a tiger or a wolf, fierce and decisive in their attacks!
That's why I suffered so much.
Ning Yuan was worried. After all, they were all brothers from the compound, and behind each of them was a complicated background.
He couldn't afford to lose a brother, and now everyone might have to stay in the mountains, worrying about survival every day.
But once the situation changes, these guys can soar to the sky in an instant.
It just so happens that I came here this time to take them all away, so I can feel a lot more at ease!
