Pamper Eighties

Seeing her stunned, Sanwa couldn’t help but curiously asked, “Sister, what are these things? Is it an antique?”

Mengmeng raised her head and said, “Yes, it’s an antique, it’s a seal I picked up from the sea.”

“Oh, what did I think it was, it turned out to be a seal.” Sanwa said as she spoke, and then she reacted, “No, how can there be a seal in the sea?”

Mengmeng didn’t know how to answer, so she spread out her hands and said, “I don’t know very well, maybe it was in a sunken ship.”

Sanwa laughed as soon as she heard it, “Sister, you must be wrong. There is no shipwreck in the sea here.”

Siwa came over and said, “Never mind, our sister picked it up anyway, and this is hers. Mengmeng, shall we go back?”

“Okay, I’ll row with you.”

“No, you can just sit.”

Mengmeng just sat in the cabin like this, she stared at the sea in a daze, thinking about the sinking ship, what is the origin?

When she got home, she cleaned the small box and cleaned the seals inside, including the pipe, and then put them in the study and studied them with a magnifying glass.

She was so engrossed in it that when Brother Rui walked in, she didn’t even notice.

“Sister, what are you looking at?” Brother Rui walked to the desk and found those seals.

“What is this?” he asked.

“Uh…” Mengmeng hesitated a little, and said hesitantly, “I picked it up from the sea.”

Brother Rui curiously picked up the gold seal and found that it was indeed gold, and he was surprised, especially after he saw the bottom line.

“Mengmeng, this is an antique? How can there be such a thing in the sea?”

Seeing that she couldn’t hide it from him, Mengmeng had to tell the truth, “Brother Rui, I found a sunken ship under the sea, and these seals were taken from the ship.”

Brother Rui was even more surprised. He remembered that when he was a child, people in their village could often get some bottles and jars from the sea. At that time, he guessed that there was a sunken ship under the sea, which was probably the ship that carried porcelain in ancient times. Now it seems that it is not so simple.

Maybe he thought wrong, maybe there are more than one.

Brother Rui asked Mengmeng, “Are you sure there is only one sunken ship?”

“Well,” Mengmeng nodded, stretched out a finger and said, “I only saw one, and it was very big. There were many boxes in the cabin, and I didn’t know what was in it.”

Brother Rui thought to himself, this must be his sister’s superpower, and normal people can’t see that deep place. According to Mengmeng, the things in those boxes, even if they are not porcelain, will be very valuable antiques.

He cautiously explained, “Sister, don’t tell other people first, and then we can decide what to do after we study it.”

He felt that Taoyuan Village was already lively enough. If another batch of treasures appeared, it would cause a lot of trouble if the rumors were leaked.

Mengmeng is not as complicated as he thought, since she has already said it, let’s just say it to the end.

“Actually, it’s easy to get them out. The turtle lives in the sunken ship, and I can let it go.”

“What? You mean, that big turtle lives there?” Brother Rui was hit so hard today, how much did Mengmeng hide from him.

“Yes, the location of the sunken ship was told to me by the sea turtle.”

She opened the drawer on the left, took out a beautiful snuff bottle from it, showed it to Brother Rui and said, “Do you remember this, it was a gift from the sea turtle, this is what it took from the sunken ship from.”

Brother Rui took the snuff bottle and looked at it, and he was very keenly aware that the snuff bottle and the pipe underneath were probably a set, because the patterns on their bodies were similar.

It must be unusual for these things to appear so frequently. Thinking of the big box that Mengmeng said, he felt that it was likely to be a batch of treasures, treasures of sunken ships.

Brother Rui still knows the difficulty of salvaging at sea. With his ability, there is no certainty that he can salvage the treasure. He still has to let Mengmeng’s family know about it. The big guys will discuss together, maybe there is a better way.

Besides, it is impossible for Mengmeng to not be known by her family when she got so many big boxes.

After thinking about it, Brother Rui suddenly looked at Mengmeng and said, “Do you want to fish out the treasure? If you want to fish it, you have to tell your grandparents, or you won’t be able to hide it from outsiders.”

“Of course I have to tell them, I didn’t want to hide it from my grandparents, and my parents.” These are Mengmeng’s closest people, and she can’t wait to tell them about her supernatural powers.

Brother Rui seemed to have expected it, and stopped her in advance to say, “Do you know the location? Tell me the location, and I will say that we found it when we went diving. Don’t say that you have special functions, do you know?”

Mengmeng nodded in his serious eyes. She seldom used her special functions these years, and she still didn’t want to let her family know that she was a monster, so she didn’t say anything.

Brother Rui found an opportunity and came to Lao Feng’s house to confess.

“Grandpa Feng, Grandma Feng, when I went diving with Mengmeng last week, she found that there seemed to be a sunken ship on the bottom of the sea. I went to see it recently. It was a sunken ship, and there might be something in it.”

The old lady Feng said indifferently, “What can there be? The sunken ship is soaked in the sea, it should be rotten to the point of slag.”

“Mengmeng.” Brother Rui motioned Mengmeng to take out the things, and then pointed to the seal in the box and said, “Look, this is the official seal of a prince in the Ming Dynasty, as well as these jade seals, this jade pendant, The pipe next to it was found around the wreck.”

“Hey, golden, this is golden!”

Old lady Feng’s eyes widened in surprise. She would never misunderstand the shiny color of gold, and she was so excited that she even held her breath.

She showed the golden seal to old man Feng, and said happily, “Old man, there is actually gold in the sunken ship, and these antiques should be very valuable?”

Old Man Feng is a rough man, so how can he understand antiques, but he understands the value of gold very well, so he asked Brother Rui, “Are you sure there is still gold in the sunken ship?”

Mengmeng said, “Grandpa, what we saw was not gold, but a lot of big boxes, not sure what was inside.”

“Oh, big box, big box…” Old Man Feng tightened his eyebrows, looking at the box for a while, and then at Feng Yimin for a while, the faces of both grandfathers showed ecstasy.

Feng Yimin guessed, “Dad, I’m afraid there is something in that box. Do you still remember the legend of our village?”

“Of course I remember, that’s what I told you.”

Old Man Feng glanced at his son, and then sang in a clear voice, “The blue sea meets the blue sky, Chang’e intersects, far in the sky, close in front of you, who can get it, live forever.”

“The elders in our village said that there are treasures in this sea, and whoever gets them will be happy for ten thousand years. But after so many years, no one in our village has found treasures. I thought it was just a legend, but I didn’t expect it. it is true.”

It was the first time for Mengmeng to hear this legend, and she quickly asked, “Really? Grandpa, why haven’t I heard you say it before?”

Old Man Feng explained, “It’s a very old legend. It is said that there was a pirate near us a long time ago. He robbed a lot of things and couldn’t find it, so this song was passed down.”

He recalled carefully, “In the past, when the Four Olds were broken, there were people in the village who went to dig his grave. In the next city, there were no bones or scum, and treasures were nowhere to be seen.”

Mengmeng’s heart was pounding, she felt that this legend must be true, she had dug up treasures in the next city, maybe the sunken ship in the sea was also the pirate’s.

She urged the old man Feng to say, “Grandpa, let’s hurry up and fish, the treasure must be on the boat.”

Feng Yimin interjected at this time, “Dad, shall we tell the people in the village? If there is really a treasure, we have to call someone from the Cultural Relics Bureau.”

“I bah bah bah.” Madam Feng rolled her eyes and said, “Why should Mengmeng tell others about the treasure she discovered? I watch TV a lot, but I know that where good things are found, that person doesn’t exist at all. Live, they were all searched and taken away by the people above, and only gave him a little reward, what are you planning?”

Madam Feng couldn’t help but scolded Feng Yimin, “Are you stupid? You tell others, they will find it by themselves. In the end, it’s hard to say who the treasure belongs to, anyway, it won’t belong to us, even our village is not qualified to stay. on.”

“Mom, this isn’t good?” Feng Yimin was a leader after all, and he did something so indignant, he still had some sense of it.

Madam Feng has her own set of crooked ideas, she said confidently, “What’s wrong, do you need to ask? God has let Mengmeng discover the treasure, so why don’t we go and help it out? This is what God gave to Mengmeng. , I will take it, and you are not allowed to go out and talk nonsense.”

Madam Feng is not so conscious. In her opinion, it is already a cute thing.

Others in their family, even Brother Rui, thought that the treasure should be taken out secretly and not leaked.

Old man Feng also taught his eldest son, “Pedantism, look at brother Rui, he didn’t even tell his family, you are the only one who shows your greatness.”

He pointed at the sky and painted the earth, wishing to stab his finger on his son’s forehead, “You don’t even think about it, do you have your share of the treasure? Does it have a share of our village? Not even our province. If you have a share, it’s better to leave it to Mengmeng, that’s it.”

Feng Yimin had no chance of winning against many people by himself, so he had to acquiesce.

They made full preparations and found a boat to sneak out one night. When they arrived at the place that Brother Rui said, they saw that the vast sea was pitch black, and only the waves were still rolling.

Seeing this scene, Old Man Feng was worried.

“Oh, this ghost place, you don’t need to go into the water to know, it’s deep inside, it’s okay to come during the day, but it’s too dangerous at night, what should I do?”

Mengmeng finally had a chance to come up with her own plan. She wrapped her quilt and stood on the deck, pretending to be observing the sea. Suddenly, she pointed to the front and said, “Look, Grandpa, there are big turtles there.”

In this pitch-black sea, only the moonlight can illuminate the turtle’s back shell, and Mengmeng happily shouted at the turtle, “Are you here to help us?”

To everyone’s surprise, the big turtle nodded, which scared the Feng family for a while.

The old lady Feng said superstitiously, “Old man, can the big turtle understand human speech? What did it, it, it, come to do?”

“You ask me, how do I know.” Old man Feng also felt that this was scary, and the big turtle appeared. What is this for?

Brother Rui tried his best to hold back his smile, and said, “Could it be that God found out that we were in trouble and sent a sea turtle to help us?”

“Is that so?” Old Man Feng and Mrs. Feng couldn’t believe it, they were lucky.

Feng Yimin suddenly saw the sea in the distance, and was so shocked that he knocked his tongue out.

“Mom, look, are there whales there? Oh, there are dolphins over there, what are they doing?”

Everyone gathered around to look, only Mengmeng was snickering.

Under the surface of the water that no one else could see, she drove the waves to push the big boxes out of the cabin, and then let the big turtles and dolphins help carry them onto the whales’ backs, and they surfaced like this.

“Wow wow wow…” Whale Xiaolan came out of the water carrying a big box!

Everyone in the old Feng family looked like they had seen a ghost, their mouths were so wide that they could lay down their eggs.

It was Brother Rui who reminded, “Hurry up, let’s go down and bring the box up.”

A few men woke up like a dream, Erwa jumped into the sea with Brother Rui, and crept onto the whale’s back. They wanted to move the boxes, but they were too heavy to carry them, so they waved to the boat.

Feng Yimin made a gesture to indicate that he heard it. He returned to the cab, skillfully operated the hook, and finally lifted the boxes one by one onto the boat.

“Quick, look at what’s in it? I said it was sent by God, but you still don’t believe it, but now you believe it, even the animals in the sea are helping us.”

Madam Feng was going to be complacent. If there were treasures in this box, she would have made a fortune this time.

Brother Rui and Erwa finally came up. They helped hold the crowbar and smashed the boxes with great effort. Many shells were deposited on the surface of the box, and they were hard.

“Clang!” Finally, a box was broken open by them, and Madam Feng hurriedly took a look.

“Oh, what is this, it’s so dirty.”

The box was full of water, and there were some black things floating around. Mengmeng turned on the flashlight and lit it inside, guessing, “This may be silk and tea. Look, grandma, this should be tea?”

Mengmeng’s fingertips were stained with a little black slag, which shattered without grinding, and the silk-like pieces underneath were the same, shattered when picked up, and blown into dust in the wind.

Su Wan took a scoop, poured out the dirty water, and finally revealed the porcelain underneath, which was similar to the ones they picked up at home. They all painted a lot of flowery patterns, but the white background was already stained. yellow.

Madam Feng glanced at the porcelain and said, “It’s a pity, oh, it must have been stained by these tea leaves. You said that they are not good, why do you put tea leaves?”

Mengmeng explained with a smile, “I read that in the past, when people shipped porcelain abroad, in order to prevent the porcelain from being bumped, they filled the jar with tea leaves, and then stuffed the edges and corners with silk to block it. This way, it won’t be broken. When it is shipped abroad, the tea and silk can be sold for money, which is a good deal.”

Madam Feng praised her and said, “We are still cute and know the goods, but didn’t your grandfather say that this is the treasure of pirates? Why do they still do business?”

“Grandma, the treasure is here, you see, it’s all gold!”

While they were talking, another box was also pried open, and pieces of gold that slipped out of it were too heavy, so they broke the box and almost hit Erwa’s feet.

Several women turned around quickly, only to see the golden ingot, even in the dim night, still shining brightly.

“I’ve made a fortune, these are all gold ingots!” Madam Feng picked up a piece of gold ingot in surprise and joy, and took a bite out of her mouth, sure enough, a tooth mark was left.

“Why are there words on it? Mengmeng, come and take a look, what are these words?”

Mengmeng took it over and looked at it, and saw the heart of the gold ingot was engraved with “Twenty-legged gold in August in the fifteenth year of Jiaqing”, and there was a craftsman’s stamp beside it.

The words on this gold ingot were exactly the same as the small number of gold ingots in the batch of treasures she got last time. She could almost conclude that this was the wreck of a pirate.

“Grandma, this is the official silver of the Qing Dynasty, which is similar to our current RMB.”

She picked up another gold ingot from the ground, which was round in shape, like a scale, with the inscription “Suzhou Official Money Bureau estimated that it was equal to 20 taels of gold.”

She weighed the two gold ingots and said, “Grandma, these are twenty taels, almost two pounds?”

Madam Feng also weighed it, and immediately curled her lips and said, “It’s not that heavy. It’s only a pound and a half at most. Your grandma and my hands can’t be wrong. I didn’t expect that the official family’s gold is also short of two pounds.”

Their grandparents and grandchildren had a good discussion, and Su Wan was embarrassed to remind them that the one tael before was only more than thirty grams, and twenty taels of gold was only twenty-five cents a pound.

At this moment, Mrs. Feng was already admiring, “So much gold, hahaha, how much money does that have, hahaha…”

Her surprise continued, Brother Rui opened another box of gold, and then a box of silver. The silver has been soaked in water for a long time, and it has turned black, like pieces of black charcoal.

Old man Feng opened the pearls, but he couldn’t even look at them. They all turned into dead fish eyeballs. They shattered into pieces when touched, and they were basically useless.

“It’s a pity that such a large pearl must be wild.”

Mrs. Feng thought to herself, there are so many pearls in such a big box. If they can be placed now, they will definitely be very valuable and valuable things.

Mengmeng also felt it was a pity. She rummaged through another box and found a few broken branches of red coral, which were hard and rock-like.

She showed it to her mother and grandma, “It’s a pity, it’s all broken.”

Madam Feng picked up the red coral and looked at it, and sighed, “No way, it’s good that it can be stored in the water for so long. I’ll grind it into beads for you tomorrow, which should be enough to make a necklace. “

“It’s polished for grandma to wear.” Mengmeng put the red coral in front of her grandma for comparison, and felt that the color was especially suitable for her grandma.

Madam Feng was both happy and embarrassed to say, “I’m already old, so what else do I wear, or for your mother.”

Su Wan quickly shied away and said, “Mom, this red coral suits you better. Besides, it’s also a piece of Mengmeng’s heart.”

At this moment, Old Man Feng’s voice suddenly sounded, “Stop talking, come and have a look, there are a lot of muskets here.”

The guys rushed over and saw that the two boxes he had opened were full of long strips of muskets and artillery pieces. dripping water.

“What a waste of things.” Old man Feng threw the tattered copper and iron back into the box, opened another box, and inside was a few pieces of metal that were smashed into slag, all of which were rusted to the point that only a little bit remained.

He said disappointedly, “What are these things? It’s a hodgepodge, and the pirates are too picky. What does he do with muskets and artillery?”

Brother Rui stared at the two boxes and couldn’t help guessing, “Grandpa Feng, pirates also need to fight. With so many boxes of treasure, I think they may have smuggled them out to sea and planned to hide on which island. I didn’t expect it to be cheap. .”

The old man Feng pointed at him and said, “Hey, it makes sense. It’s also possible that some old landlord is rich. It’s also possible that he packs up his belongings and flees when the war is over.”

Madam Feng said suspiciously, “No, what kind of landlord has the ability to get so many firearms?”

“You really don’t believe it,” the old man Feng said with great arrogance. “In the past, when my grandfather worked in the landlord’s house, he saw the muskets in the landlord’s house with his own eyes. They also have private guards. This is still a small landlord in the countryside. The big landlord here is definitely stronger than this.”

After he finished telling everyone the story, he cheered up again and said, “Anyway, these are treasures, yes, hurry up.”

Everyone stepped up and worked hard, even Mengmeng took a hammer and banged on it, finally smashing all the boxes.

“Good guy, this old pirate rich man is quite rich, he has hidden so many boxes of gold.”

Old Madam Feng looked at the boxes of gold with joy, which were all poured out all over the ground and piled up into hills in the cabin. She was so excited, she had never seen so much gold, this was the real version of gold and silver.

“Hahaha, there is so much gold, oh hey, I can’t even count.”

Madam Feng was so excited that her eyes turned into circles, and her eyes were shining. Others were not much better than her. This time, it was a real treasure, Jinshan!

Brother Rui’s eyes were sharp, and he also found some different gold utensils next to them. They were all made of gold, such as tripods, incense burners, lampstands, cups and drinking utensils. Several big boxes.

He usually likes to do some collections. He is a little knowledgeable, and he feels that the workmanship of the goldware is very unusual, especially simple and elegant, not like the craftsmanship of the last few hundred years.

He took one of the tripods and showed them to Mengmeng, “There are characters on it, can you understand them?”

Mengmeng held up her flashlight and tried to identify it.

“This is Dazhuan.” She read slowly, “Empress Qin said that he is destined to have a destiny, his eyebrows are boundless, and his descendants will last for 10,000 years. This is something of Duke Qin? Is it the Qin Dynasty?”

Brother Rui nodded and said, “Well, I also think so, it may be something of a prince of the Qin Dynasty.”

“Brother Rui, they have things here from all dynasties. I see that the vase over there is not from the Qing Dynasty, but from the Song Dynasty.”

Mengmeng finds it more and more strange that the vase is rose red towards purple, and the color is similar to the square pot of Jun kiln in her house. She bought that square pot at a high price.

She was about to study it carefully when she heard Mrs. Feng’s urging voice, “Don’t be stunned, pack it up and put it in the box. Where’s the box I prepared for you? Yimin, Erwa, you two go get them. Get it out.”

The whole family started working together. It took most of the night to put so much gold and silver treasures into new boxes, and then drove the ship back to the seaside. When they were about to reach the pier, Mengmeng turned on the flashlight and shook it three times.

The truck on the dock turned on its lights, and the big baby opened the door and walked over and said, “How is it? Are you done?”

Madam Feng said tiredly, “It’s all done, help me move it, and bring it home tomorrow.”

The eldest child walked back and opened the back door of the car. The two grandfathers exhausted their milk-feeding efforts to carry so many boxes up, and then a few men escorted the car and drove away without a sound.

The next day, Mrs. Feng’s commissary restocked. There were too many goods, and they were moved to their own house. No one in the village suspected it.

In this way, the treasure was brought home by them without knowing it.

“Wow…wow…” Everyone surrounded these gold and silver treasures and couldn’t stop admiring.

Only today they found out that there are many beautiful jewels here, including gold, precious stones, and jade, which made several women so happy that they almost fainted from laughter.

The old lady Feng also found a set of exquisite porcelain, the color of the tile blue tile blue, like the sky is covered with fog, pink, transparent, flowing water.

“Mengmeng, show your grandma, is this porcelain worth anything? If it’s not worth it, I’ll use it at home. It would be nice to have such a beautiful cup and plate at home to entertain guests.”

Mrs. Feng fondly stroked the set of china. She remembered it very clearly. They didn’t contain tea leaves at that time. Now they look so good after washing them. I really like them.

The corner of Mengmeng’s mouth twitched and said, “Honey, this is Ru porcelain from the Song Dynasty. Look at this pink and blue color, only Ru porcelain has it. This is a complete set, including cups, plates, plates, and bowls. I’m listening. I’ve never heard of it, it’s more expensive than gold.”

“Oh, mother.” Madam Feng was so frightened that she almost threw the cup out. She hurriedly put the cup away and said in horror, “Is it really that valuable?”

“Yes,” Mengmeng said with certainty, “that small bottle in my study cost five thousand dollars at the time, and it must be more than that now. Think about it, grandma, how much is it worth?”

“It’s too expensive, it’s too expensive, we don’t need it anymore, we have to provide them well.”

Madam Feng stared at the set of china in awe, and was worried that she would damage them with her rough hands and feet, so she didn’t even dare to move them.

Mengmeng held her grandma’s hand, let her sit down, comforted her softly and said, “Grandma, isn’t it just a set of china, the more expensive it is, the more expensive it is, it’s also very good to use them at home. Okay, I haven’t eaten with Ru Kiln’s porcelain.”

“Do you really use it for dinner?” Mrs. Feng’s flesh hurts, “In case you accidentally knock it a little…”

“It’s alright, we still have so much china, change a set every day, just use it carefully.” Mengmeng looked at her milk and blinked her eyes, and said with much anticipation.

She finally said a very lethal sentence, “This is all sent to us by God. If you don’t need it, you will waste God’s heart.”

These words finally reversed old lady Feng’s mind. She patted her thigh and said, “God sent it, it should be used, and it has a face to use. Mengmeng, then let’s use this set of precious porcelain. This has recovered so many treasures, it is a pity to keep them unused, and I will think about what they are useful for.”

She thought about it, and discussed it with the old folks, and Mengmeng joined the discussion with great interest.

The old man Feng carefully placed the treasures clearly, and did not forget to tell his family, “Don’t go out and talk nonsense. This matter has to be kept secret. If you don’t keep it secret, it will be over. Especially you, Yimin, do you hear?”

Feng Yimin said with tears in his eyes, “Dad, it’s all over, you still don’t believe me? I can’t just kill my relatives and report you. Besides, I have a share.”

He had already figured out in his heart that instead of sending these treasures out, it would be better to keep them in his own hands. In the future, when the time was right, he could build a showroom in the village or something, so that everyone could come and see these beautiful treasures.

But now, forget it, he can’t keep it if he says it out, and it’s hard to say who the treasure will end up in in the end.
