Chapter 390: Unearthing Cultural Relics
If there is something valuable in here, it would be terrible if this idiot hits it with a hoe and fails to control the strength and breaks it.
She put down the hoe and carefully began to remove the soil from the sack bit by bit with her hands.
The sack looked bulging, and it took her a lot of effort to drag it out of the pit.
"Third sister, what's in here? Is it delicious? Let's open it and take a look."
Su Jianwu's face was full of excitement and his eyes were shining.
Forget it, there is nothing left in my mind when I go out to eat.
"Let's fill the hole back to its original state first, and then take this thing home and look at it."
I've been busy for half a day and it's almost dawn. It would be bad if someone saw us.
The two men worked hard to fill the soil back to its original state and covered it with a layer of weeds.
After making sure that there was no one around, the two of them quietly slipped back home carrying the sacks.
"Close the door quickly so no one can see us."
Su Xiaoxiao was instructing Su Jianwu, and just as she turned around, she happened to glare at her elder brother Su Wenbing who had just left.
Su Xiaoxiao: “…”
The eldest brother found out everything, so she simply ordered people to help carry the things into the house.
She and Lao Wu didn't have enough strength and it was too tiring.
Su Wenbing carried the things into the house as Su Xiaoxiao said, and was about to untie the hemp rope tied to the bag.
Su Xiaoxiao hurriedly stopped him: "Brother, wait a moment, why don't you call our mother over and ask her if she has anything to say? These things might be burial objects, what if..."
Sun Wenbing's outstretched hand was quickly retracted.
In the past, the old people in the village often said that the things in the tomb were full of negative energy and might be contaminated with unclean things, so those tomb robbers in the past never had a good ending.
When Su Jianwu heard that they had to ask his mother to come and make the decision, he volunteered and rushed over to knock on the door.
"Mom, Mom, get up quickly!"
Liu Cuilan had just gotten off the kang when she heard this shout and almost fell back in fright.
The little stone on the kang was also startled by the sound, and started to grunt with his eyes closed and his mouth pursed.
Xu Zhaodi hurriedly reached out and patted the child gently to comfort him.
Liu Cuilan's eyebrows furrowed. She flung open the door, grabbed Su Jianwu's collar and dragged him into the main room. "Why are you yelling so loudly so early in the morning? Are you trying to call for his soul?"
While they were talking, they had already arrived at the main hall.
When Liu Cuilan saw the big sack in the main room, she was stunned for a moment.
The sack was tattered and covered with dirt. The yellow soil was falling to the ground, making her frown.
"Where did you pick up this junk? You three are still up so early in the morning picking up junk? Hurry up and drag this junk out. I just swept the floor last night."
When they saw their biological mother come out, Su Xiaoxiao and Su Wenbing immediately felt like they had found their backbone.
Su Xiaoxiao: "Mom, mom, come over and take a look, there might be something rare in here."
Liu Cuilan walked over. She had no idea what the sack was for. It had a foul smell that made her feel nauseous early in the morning.
She kicked the sack in disgust and said, "Where did you three pick up this junk? Throw it out now. It stinks."
Su Wenbing hurriedly stopped his mother and said, "Mom, be careful. This thing might have been dug out from a grave."
"What?"
Liu Cuilan's eyes widened. "You three idiots, you're not sleeping so early in the morning and you're picking things up from the grave. Bah, bah, bah, bah, it's so unlucky. Throw it out now."
Her voice rose, and Su Xiaoxiao hurried forward to cover her mother's mouth: "Mom, please stop yelling. There might be some treasure in here. Those people who tossed and turned for most of the night were probably doing this."
"Everyone in our village is so poor that even a penny would fill their trouser pockets. People can barely afford to live, so how could they bear to bury anything in the grave? Is your head stuck in the door?"
Su Xiaoxiao touched her nose: "Mom, you said before that there was a local rich man in our village..."
"That's what I heard from others. Who knows if it's true or not?"
Su Xiaoxiao: “…”
Her mother sounded so excited when she described it, as if she had seen it with her own eyes, but it turned out to be hearsay.
Seeing that no one had touched the bag, Su Jianwu immediately took it and started talking: "Why don't you just open it and see what's inside? Why are you three adults so slow?"
As he spoke, he exerted force with his hands and the hemp rope tied on it came loose. Then, the eyes of several people in the room widened at the same time.
A bag full of porcelain and jade, and several small goldfish.
They had never seen so many valuable things in their lives.
Those porcelains look exquisitely crafted and are probably cultural relics.
Su Xiaoxiao swallowed her saliva. These were all antiques. She had only seen them in museums before. Su Wenbing couldn't help but ask, "Mom, can't the story about the rich man be true? Otherwise, how could there be so many antiques?"
Liu Cuilan was so dumbfounded at this moment that she couldn't hear what her son said.
She had just kicked something so precious. If it had been broken...
Su Xiaoxiao squatted down and carefully picked up the pile of things. The more she looked, the more frightened she became.
There are porcelain and jade items inside, and there are more than a dozen gold bars alone.
She looked around and saw a small rosewood box at the innermost part. When she opened the box, she found it was full of gold jewelry, jade bracelets, night pearls and the like.
This thing is not something a country rich man can afford to bury with him.
The whole family was silent, but Su Jianwu's face was full of excitement: "Third sister, this is gold, right? This piece must be worth a lot of money, right? Is our family going to get rich?"
"Fuck you! These are all cultural relics. They need to be handed over!"
Su Xiaoxiao slapped the silly kid on the back of the head. No matter how you looked at it, there was no way these things could be buried with a local rich man. It was very likely that the local rich man's affairs were just a cover.
Maybe there are other things under the tomb of the local rich man, such as ancient tombs from the previous dynasty.
Those tomb robbers deliberately took away the local rich man's burial objects, probably to make people think that they were interested in the local rich man's burial objects, and at the same time to tell everyone that those burial objects were gone.
Then you can find a chance to sneak back and get the things from the tomb.
But I don't know why it took so long to pick it up.
After realizing this, Su Xiaoxiao stood up and said, "Mom, these are national cultural relics. We can't keep them. Besides, if those tomb robbers knew we took them, they would definitely not let us go. Let's report them to the police and hand them over."
Liu Cuilan didn't expect these things to be so important. She nodded vigorously and said, "Okay, wake up your second brother. While there are few people outside, quickly send him and your eldest brother to the County Public Security Bureau."
Su Xiaoxiao was a little worried: "Mom, I'll go with you too. I have to go on a business trip these two days, so it's okay even if I go late."
This is no small matter, and she is a little worried about her eldest and second brothers going together.
Su Fusheng was called up, and the three of them found a cart, put the things on it, and carefully covered it with straw. Then they rushed to the county public security bureau together.
