Old Madam Qiao was reborn—seven days before her whole family was sent to the countryside.
Looking at her family, still safe and sound—her son and daughter-in-law alive, her two young gran...
This... Buddha head? !
A round head suddenly appeared in Qiao Jiuru's eyes, which scared her.
Then, she immediately saw clearly what was placed in the bamboo basket and straw. It was actually a Buddha head with a compassionate expression.
"Huaiyuan, come over here and take a look..."
She was so shocked that she was speechless. It was completely beyond her imagination and made her tremble uncontrollably.
Su Huaiyuan just opened the wooden box and found a mess of jade and gold jewelry on it, which were very ancient in style, and several things covered with cloth underneath. Before he could reach in to pick them up, he was frightened by his wife's scream and quickly withdrew his hand and ran to her side.
"This Buddha head?!"
Su Huaiyuan followed his wife's gaze into the bamboo basket and was shocked to find a large Buddha head lying on the straw.
He was instantly excited and surprised, and shuddered all over. Then he immediately realized that these might be national treasures.
The jade and gold ornaments in the wooden box just now didn't look like they came from an ordinary home. Instead, they looked like they were taken out of a tomb.
The main reason is that the style is old, not as modern as it is now. When he and Aru got married, they also bought a lot of gold, silver and jade jewelry, which were much more beautiful and exquisite than those just now.
"Huaiyuan, look, this Buddha's head has been cut off."
After Qiao Jiuru recovered from her initial shock, she told her husband about her discovery.
Buddha heads are very valuable.
Nowadays, many temples and even historical sites are unattended and easy to be stolen, so many people take risks.
Decades later, very few of the ancient temple Buddha statues on display in museums were intact, and many were missing their heads, as they had all been stolen.
"There shouldn't be one here."
Su Huaiyuan hesitated for a moment, reached out and carefully picked up the Buddha head, then asked Qiao Jiuru to pull away the straw underneath, and sure enough, another Buddha head was revealed.
The couple looked at each other in shock again, and then turned over all the bamboo baskets one by one.
Small Buddha statues, Buddha heads, lotus flowers...
In the end, Su Huaiyuan and Qiao Jiuru were no longer surprised; they were completely numb.
"Aru, put these Buddha statues into the space first."
Su Huaiyuan looked at the dozen or so baskets of inestimable treasures of civilization and felt uneasy if he didn't put them into the space.
After more than a dozen baskets of treasures were stored in the space one by one, the couple breathed a sigh of relief.
For now, it's stable.
"Aru, there's something over there that I think came out of the ancient tomb, come over and take a look."
Su Huaiyuan quickly pulled his wife to look at the wooden boxes. He had not finished checking them yet.
"Wait, let's put it in the space and take a closer look. I don't think it's safe here yet."
Qiao Jiuru thought about it and realized that not only was the lighting here bad, but the environment of the cave was also not good.
What if they were so engrossed in examining these artifacts that someone suddenly came in and didn't notice them? !
It's too unsafe.
That's too unsafe.
Su Huaiyuan was about to agree, but then he felt that it would be unsafe to put these things into the space without checking them thoroughly. What if the space was damaged? !
He quickly told his wife about this hidden danger, and finally, the couple discussed it. Su Huaiyuan continued to check the wooden boxes, and she stayed in this cave. As long as there was a fire, she would know.
Therefore, the couple immediately went their separate ways.
Qiao Jiuru stared at the cave, listening attentively to the noise outside, while looking in Su Huaiyuan's direction from time to time.
"Aru, I just saw these jewels. They came out of an ancient tomb. Some of them are covered with cloth. I guess they are porcelain."
While Su Huaiyuan moved the jewellery to the other side, he carefully took out the cloth-wrapped items and then took them apart layer by layer to look at them.
As he expected, these things wrapped in cloth were indeed porcelain.
Then, Su Huaiyuan checked the wooden boxes one by one and found that there were musical instruments, ancient books, ancient swords, pottery, figurines and even a set of ancient clothes and two crowns!!!
