Chapter 48-47° Do overseas cultural relics need to go home? (4)
"In this mural, the Bodhisattva has his eyebrows downcast, with a compassionate look as if he is saving all living beings. The lotus seat under his feet is also particularly clear..."
The curator stood in front of display case No. 2 and gave an incessant explanation, while Rashed stood in front of it with a confused look on his face.
In his eyes, in display cabinet No. 2... there is clearly a refrigerator!
It is an extremely flat refrigerator!
This thickness seems to be enough to only fit a can of Coke. The outer shell of the refrigerator looks bumpy, as if it is a deliberately weathered design. There is a lotus flower painted on the drawer of the lower refrigeration area, but there seems to be a Bodhisattva painted on the refrigerator door above the fresh-keeping layer...
Rashed touched his chin in confusion.
He had little education and knew little about the cultural relics of that ancient Eastern country, but... he always felt something was wrong!
"Lord Rashed, do you have your own opinion on this mural?" The curator paused and said, "Do you not understand the meaning behind it?"
Rashed immediately straightened his face.
"How could that be? I know the most about these things!"
"It's just a picture of electric ice... uh, just a mural. It's not worth mentioning. Let's move on to the next one!"
The two walked towards counter No. 3.
"On platform No. 3 is a double-ram tripod. The tripod was used to hold meat in the past. It was a symbol of wealth and status in ancient times."
Because the museum was somewhat negligent in protecting its cultural relics, the Shuangyang Ding was not covered with a glass cover, allowing Rashed to see it more clearly.
Rashed looked embarrassed.
On display cabinet No. 3, there is clearly a double-sided refrigerator!
Although this refrigerator looks very strange, it is still a refrigerator!
The refrigerator shell is engraved with bronze zigzag patterns from top to bottom, which looks very simple and has a sense of design. What's more special is the way it opens. There are two refrigerator doors engraved with three-dimensional sheep heads on the front and back, which is very unique.
Very cool, if the refrigerator didn't match the decoration style of his house, Rashed might have bought one.
But what’s even cooler is that the refrigerator in front of him doesn’t match what the owner described at all!
He still couldn't help it, so he reached out and tried to open the refrigerator door - it opened!
He turned to look at the curator: "Does this tripod you mentioned have a door?"
The curator's face twitched: "This is possible."
Rashed put his hand into the fresh-keeping layer and felt the coolness inside.
"Can this tripod you mentioned cool things?"
The curator's face continued to twitch: "It's not written in the introduction, but it doesn't mean it's not possible. After all, the things of the ancient Eastern countries are profound and extensive..."
The curator wanted to continue talking, but it was obvious that Rashed had other questions.
"So, you said that this tripod looks like a refrigerator and is used like a refrigerator, so is there a possibility..."
"Is this thing a refrigerator?"
Rashed raised a soul-searching question.
After hearing Rashed's question, the curator was silent for a moment and decided to continue to be stubborn.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
"The cultural relics of the ancient Eastern countries are profound and extensive. Maybe this cultural relic...it, it was born to look like a refrigerator!"
In short, it was definitely not their poor supervision that allowed the cultural relic thief to replace all the cultural relics with a refrigerator!
The curator continued to be stubborn, but he had no choice but to be stubborn.
If he doesn't keep his mouth shut, he will be arrested, and that will test whether his anus is hard enough.
"The cultural relics of this mysterious ancient oriental country have one thing in common, which is..."
“It looks like a refrigerator!”
"I am convinced by this explanation."
"As a member of an ancient oriental country, let me clarify that this is not true!"
"How dare you talk nonsense! You are even more cruel than when I got 6 points in math and changed it to 96 points!"
"You can't just say nonsense because the cultural relics are lost... Do you believe this?"
After saying this, the curator once again revealed a pure look, extremely sincere and warm, and stared at Rashed, as if he wanted to convey his sincerity through his eyes.
Rashed: ...
As a desperate illiterate, Rashed's sense of obedience and reason are constantly colliding!
I want to believe the curator, but this is too fucking ridiculous.
I wanted to refute the curator, but...what if the truth of the matter was really so outrageous, and that mysterious ancient oriental country really liked refrigerator-shaped artifacts, wouldn't that expose my ignorance?
Seeing that Rashed was wavering, the curator immediately took advantage of the situation and continued to introduce the cultural relics below.
"Cultural relic No. 4, a Tang Dynasty three-colored arhat statue! It can be said to be very exquisite. Although to us, this arhat statue looks like a refrigerator wearing a cassock, it expresses the complementary relationship between the cassock and the refrigerator!"
"Artifact No. 5 is a white marble statue of Zhuge Liang. Although it looks like a refrigerator with a human head, and although it looks a bit scary, it represents the legendary Prime Minister Zhuge Liang, who is... a very calm person!"
"As cool as a refrigerator!"
"Artifact No. 6 is an unearthed Hanfu. It looks like a wearable refrigerator, but... but, uh, maybe for people of that dynasty, wearing a refrigerator on their body was a fashion, a trend!"
"No matter how rampant the pirated Hanfu sellers are, they can't make a wearable refrigerator!"
"I can really feel this curator working hard on writing lyrics even through the screen..."
"It's just like me when I'm writing an essay and trying to force the topic and then frantically trying to make up the word count. I'm in tears."
"Brothers, I just bought a refrigerator, but I don't think my house deserves it. How about donating it to a museum?"
"Hurry up and donate, then come back with the banner!"
Rashed listened with a blank expression on his face, walking between the rows of refrigerators like a home appliance shopping guide.
He looked around and suddenly stopped as if he had discovered something among the densely packed refrigerators.
He stretched out his finger and pointed to the ground.
"How did those two artifacts end up lying there?"
The curator, who was working hard to compose the words, looked as if he had overworked his brain and was dizzy. He simply followed Rashed's finger and blurted out the words he had composed.
"The two on the ground are security guards we hired. However, they look like two refrigerators wearing security uniforms. This is amazing. The artifacts that the ambassador obtained from the ancient Eastern country are all so amazing—"
The curator was still talking nonstop, and when Rashed heard this, veins appeared on his forehead.
Then he swung his arms!
Bang!
A big slap in the face hit the curator!
"Amazing, my god!"
"Open your eyes and look carefully! This is the security guard you hired!"
"They are just disguised as refrigerators! They are real people!"
When Rashed said this, he became furious when he thought about how he had been deceived by a few refrigerators before. He raised his hand and slapped the curator a few more times.
"You idiot, all the artifacts here have been swapped!"
"Hurry up and chase after them!"
Seeing that he could no longer conceal the truth, the curator finally resigned himself to his fate. Covering his face which was as swollen as a pig's head, he ran to the monitoring room sobbingly to check the surveillance.
The entire exhibition hall was suddenly empty, leaving only the BTV refrigerator standing quietly in the exhibition hall, as if paying silent tribute.
5 minutes later——
We got the script, and the refrigerator in the corner pretending to be a vending machine moved first, then immediately turned the small wheel to close the door of the exhibition hall.
In an instant, all the refrigerators in the exhibition hall breathed a sigh of relief and then changed back!
“Success!”
"They really thought that we had been replaced!"
"Prime Minister Zhuge's Empty City Plan was a great trick! Those people probably thought we had left the museum, right? They definitely didn't expect we were still in the exhibition hall."
"I'm almost there, I can cool it down!"
The entire exhibition hall was filled with chatter and whispers of excitement.
Until Zhuge Wenren knocked on the table with his fan in dissatisfaction - and then there was a sound of stones colliding.
"quiet!"
"Only the first step was successful. The next escape plan is the highlight!"
That’s right, the exhibition hall they are in now is the one farthest from the main gate. If they want to get out of this gate completely, they must go through three more exhibition halls before they can get out!
The three exhibition halls are:
Egyptian Pavilion, Ancient Pavilion, Ancient European Pavilion!
And the same trick cannot be used twice, that is to say, you can't get away with it by turning yourself into a refrigerator this time.
"It's okay. We have anticipated this situation."
Zhuge Wenren shook his fan, which was also made of stone, and then looked at the refrigerator that still looked like a vending machine.
"During the past two days, the refrigerator has been roaming around in these three exhibition halls. It has already colluded with the cultural relics in these three exhibition halls!"
"Then you can make some space and hide us in there!"
As he said this, the sound of leather shoes tapping on the floor tiles came from the other side of the corridor, and there were several footsteps. It was obvious that someone was chasing them again.
“Someone is coming!”
"Run away!"
The statue of Zhuge Wenren smashed the glass with a fan, then rolled onto the top of the refrigerator and rode on the refrigerator to the next exhibition hall!
Several of the animal heads had no hands, so they looked a little embarrassed. They directly used their foreheads to knock the glass open, then rolled on the ground and rolled to the next exhibition hall.
As for the pair of sheep tripods, because they were standing on a revolving exhibition stand, when they rolled down from the exhibition stand, they felt dizzy as soon as they touched the ground, and stumbled outward as if they were drunk.
Some porcelain bottles and pots stared at the glass timidly, as if wondering whether the glass was harder or they were harder. Finally, they had no choice but to call on the gold bricks and glass bricks to help them break the glass.
And the unearthed Hanfu: …
It looks pitiful, weak and helpless in the glass cover.
Can you help it break the glass first?
