Beipai Tomb Raiders Notes

There was a night breeze in Alxa, we lit candles in the hut under the mine, and sat around by the candles.

I watched Liao Bo slowly open the backpack.

He took out a lump of mud, a tape measure, a knife, a piece of white paper, and a small porcelain box from his bag, and laid them on the ground in sequence.

Looking at the simple tools on the ground in front of me, I asked, "Uncle Liao, what are you doing with this pile of things?"

Liao Bo smiled and said: "This is a secret way of eating from the ancestors, how can it be leaked to outsiders, I just don't feel at ease to take it out for inspection, fortunately, I have all the things with me."

Sister Yu said before she left that once Liao Bo came, we would have to wait.

And this wait is another two days.

In the middle of the night that night, after we fell asleep, he came secretly. He carried a small bag and a flashlight, stepped on the sand all the way, and followed the little white flags to find him.

Those white-flag road signs not only lead the way for Liao Bo, but also lead the leader.

You must know that Alxa is no better at night than during the day, and it is very easy to go astray if you can’t see the reference. People in the industry say that Wang Xiansheng does not show the mountains and water on the surface, but in fact he is the most scheming and always hides his hands behind him, just like water mooring Liangshan Wu Yong, the wise multi-star.

When I saw the boss again, I was very excited.

But how to put it, when he gave me his head, he was very tense, his face was solemn, and his whole state was like a tight rope.

"Yunfeng, Yazai, Xuanxuan."

He glanced at his phone and said with a serious expression, "You did a good job with the white flag road signs, which saved me from going wrong. Now I don't have time to make things worse. I only have 15 minutes to come here."

"Brother Liao, thank you for your hard work." Nodding his head to salute Uncle Liao, Uncle Liao greeted him with a nod.

After saying hello, he pulled his head away from the backpack, as if holding a jewel in his palm, and carefully took out something from the bag.

The thing was wrapped in a double waterproof black plastic bag.

"Plop...Puff..."

The atmosphere was tense, and I could hear my own heartbeat and Liao Bo's panting.

Xiaoxuan clenched her fists even more nervously.

Under everyone's gaze, he nodded his head and untied the black plastic bag.

Inside the bag is a statue of carved porcelain, porcelain-like pottery.

The carved porcelain shape is a lying bird with two big wings, but it has a face and hands, and a crown on its head. There is a small hole in the crown, and a circle like a swastika is engraved around the small hole.

The crouching bird has an open face, drooping eyebrows, and a slight smile on the lips. There are red and green colors on the body that have not completely fallen off.

Diaoci's right arm is gone, but he still keeps one hand clasped together. It looks a bit funny from a distance, but after a closer look, he can feel a trace of sadness from his open smile, as if he is pitying the world and us. All the people present.

No exaggeration.

Looking at it at that moment, I suddenly wanted to cry.

There's a lot of money in Heishui City!

This is the national treasure of Xixia, Lingwu Miaoyinniao...

This is what Li Xian tried so hard to take away back then!

The original Miaoyin bird.

Once this thing goes out, I don't dare to think about how much it can sell for!

Liao Bo's eyes were wild, he slowly reached out to hold the carved porcelain, and watched quietly.

And he didn't stop his head, just let him watch.

After watching for three or four minutes, Liao Bo woke up like a dream and took a deep breath.From the frown on his face, I could feel that he was under a lot of pressure.

Liao Bo put it down lightly, and then he pulled out the tape measure to measure every dimension carefully, then drew a rough sketch on the paper, carefully scraped a little powder from the severed hand of Miaoyinniao with a knife, and put it Put it in the box, and finally took out the small camera in the bag to take detailed photos.

For some things, he can only rely on memory, such as the color area of ​​the residual mineral paint on Miaoyinniao's body, the position of the severed hand, the small hole on the top of the head and the swastika... There are too many details to pay attention to.

"I don't have time, I'll leave the rest to you." Covering his face with his clothes, he wrapped Miaoyiniao carefully and put it in his backpack.

Uncle Liao's face turned pale, he sighed hesitantly, and said, "Show your voice, we are lucky to have a glimpse of such an important weapon of the country, something that didn't exist in the palace of the Qing Dynasty, and Lord Qianlong didn't even see it. You and I have gotten started with what we have learned before, so it was a worthwhile trip."

"This job... I, Liao, took it."

Covering his head and face, he wrapped his back up and bowed to Uncle Liao.

"Where are you going!"

Seeing that he was about to leave, Bean Sprouts said eagerly: "Why are you going back! You take the national treasure bird and run with us! We will hide the money after selling it!"

"Yeah, what are you doing back home?" Xiao Xuan said with red eyes.

I shook my head and said that Yunfeng took good care of them, and I left.

"Hold on!"

"When can we see you again?" I asked.

Turning his head away from us, he said, "Come on, when the dust settles."

Just put your head away, and he appeared no more than 15 minutes before and after.

It wasn't until I saw it with my own eyes that night that I fully understood the meaning of that text message.

Let's sort it out.

Prepare a month's worth of food and water, either for others to eat and drink, or for us to eat and drink ourselves.

Thirty small white flags guide the road and Liao Bo greatly shortened the time. There is no mobile phone signal in the desert, and it is impossible to communicate with the mobile phone. This seemingly old-fashioned method has played a miraculous effect.

All these arrangements were made for the short 15-minute meeting that night.

I asked Liao Bo to make a fake Miaoyin bird. I asked Liao Bo how sure he was.

Uncle Liao couldn’t say for sure, he could only try his best. The imitation of high-level cultural relics involves all aspects. After firing, it needs to be covered with the original color. Do your best to fool the machine detection, similar to the carbon fourteen test.

Now it is 2021, and Miaoyinniao is quietly placed in the most conspicuous position in the Ningxia Museum. There are several statues, including yellow ones, green ones, and white ones. Architectural components unearthed in the mausoleum area.

If you think about it carefully, since the Xixia King’s Tomb was destroyed, dozens of generations of tomb thieves have visited it. The powerful tomb thieves are no worse than archaeologists. Can they keep this thing? (Only represent personal views).

We stayed in Alxa for a few more days after we turned our heads away. Liao Bo left that night. Before he left, he asked us for a few bottles of water and my mobile phone number, saying that he would contact me when things were ready. At that time, the head should have returned from Heishui City.

and also.

I was thinking that Sister Yu would send our camel back, but the group of them never showed up, and I don't know where they went.

The four of us ate and drank, seeing the food and water decreasing day by day, I couldn't wait any longer, and I couldn't get in touch by phone.

So Bean Sprouts and I got together, sorted out the rest of the things, and decided to go back.
