The wood carving is only one hand high, dark, and depicts a man with nine snakes growing out of his chin.
The craftsmanship is not refined, many details are vague, and there is no artistic creativity. It is indeed not a valuable thing.
If you know its origin, or express a certain artistic style typically, then it can still fetch 10,000 yuan.
But if you only know that it is an old object from hundreds of years ago, and that is all, it may only be sold for a few hundred or thousands of dollars.
Appraisal is very important for an antique. If no master can tell it how ugly it is, it will not be worth spending a lot of money on.
Mo Qiong put down the wood carving and turned to choose among the jewelry.
Except for Zhang He and Xiao Kun, everyone else is not very knowledgeable. They choose things based on their own taste and guesswork.
For example, some people choose a pearl necklace, thinking that such a large string of pearls is of the same size and white in color, and the price of pearls alone is quite high.
Some people value items such as the Jade Buddha more. After all, the higher the artistic value of antiques, the more valuable they are. I think this Buddha carving is so good and highlights the crystallization of ancient art. It must be good.
Other people are interested in royal items such as paperweights, thinking that they must have been used by a certain king. When they are identified, such items that have been used by famous people will be more valuable.
In short, everyone had their own ideas, and everyone shared their ideas with great interest.
Even if someone is interested in the same item, they will discuss it with each other, give this one to you, give that one to me, and so on.
No one would try to take advantage. We are all decent people and we all know each other well at home.
It’s pointless to take advantage of this small advantage, unless you can keep it all to yourself.
But is that possible? What Zhang He discovered was distributed as equally as possible, which was already very interesting.
Mo Qiong was not very good at picking these things. He picked a few things that no one was grabbing, and Zhang He couldn’t stand it anymore.
He personally went out to help Mo Qiong pick out two good jade pendants and stuffed them into Mo Qiong’s hands.
“You should choose more of these with inscriptions and patterns, otherwise how will the appraiser judge? A jade ring without even a seal will basically be sold for the same jade price.” Zhang He said.
Mo Qiong smiled and didn’t take it seriously.
“I have made a lot of money from such a trip to the sea. These things plus the share of gold and silver and the previous seven million, I can almost get 30 million, right? It will be enough for me for a long time. , so what if there are so many more millions?”
Zhang He shook his head and said: “There are so many more millions, and naturally there are millions of uses. You are too easy to be satisfied.”
Mo Qiong said with a smile: “I don’t have much appetite to begin with. If I go out to sea and pick up 30 million yuan for nothing, I’m still not satisfied. How can I be satisfied?”
“Yes, we are just picking up money this time. We still want to have a relationship, but you guys are just picking it up for free.” Zhang He pointed at Mo Qiong and smiled.
Xiao Kun smiled and said: “No, I feel like I’m at a huge loss. I’ll auction these things for you, and you all have to give me a commission.”
Mo Qiong said with a smile: “It doesn’t matter, just pay as much as you should.”
“Think about it carefully, you are really the Emperor of Europe. Ever since you boarded the ship, our luck has been extremely good and we have encountered surprises frequently. We have never had such good things when we went to sea before. We can find pearls in the sea. The biggest one is for you. Now it’s you and Zhang He who have found the treasure, and you are also lucky in playing cards.” Xiao Kun said.
Mo Qiong said hurriedly: “The luckiest one is to survive. If you hadn’t bumped into me, how could I have boarded your ship?”
As he said that, he looked at Zhang He and said: “By the way, Zhang He, you can be considered as discovering these things alone. Everyone just collects the money. You have found so many valuable things this time. In the future, Who doesn’t know you in the sailing community? ”
Zhang He was stunned and said: “Isn’t this… bad?”
Mo Qiong said to everyone: “What do you think?”
Everyone looked at each other and said: “It doesn’t matter, we are not very involved in the sailing circle, so he is the only one who is so good.”
Xiao Kun also said: “The rest doesn’t matter, anyway, my family got this crown from someone else.”
In the end, everyone unified their views and distributed the benefits.
Zhang He made the most money, earning almost the same amount as everyone else, and he also gained fame.
Xiao Kun also had a lot. Although he only picked two pieces of jewelry at random, he got the most precious and priceless treasure.
Among the remaining people, they are basically equally distributed, and it seems that they have about the same share.
However, it was later determined that there must be some with fewer people and some with more. Among them, Mo Qiong must be the one with the least money.
Except for the two nice pieces of jewelry forced upon him by Zhang He, he always picked out the leftovers from others.
Including the wood carving, no one was too lazy to ask for it, and in the end he was the only one who consciously took it.
Everyone noticed this and fully recognized his integration into this circle on the way back.
……
In the evening, Mo Qiong returned to his guest room, placed the wooden sculpture on the bedside, and lay down to sleep.
Everyone wrote down what everyone divided and auctioned it through Xiaokun’s channel.
As for the wood carving, Xiao Kun said that he was not even qualified to go to the auction house, so he would just find an antique shop to sell it.
While asleep, Mo Qiong had a rare dream.
He had not dreamed for several days. That night, Leng Buding had a nightmare.
It was on a dark sea. Mo Qiong was immersed in the sea and kept sinking.
Dreams have no beginning. Mo Qiong didn’t know and didn’t think about why he sank in the sea.
He just wanted to surface, he just wanted to breathe freely, but no, he just kept sinking.
It is as if a person trapped in a maelstrom cannot extricate himself, and is forced to sink into the dark abyss.
Mo Qiong struggled hard, trying to launch something, but he had nothing, and there was only sea water around him.
Even if he controlled the surge of sea water around him, he could not resist the force that insisted on dragging him into the abyss at this moment.
The dark depths of the ocean floor were like a huge mouth of darkness, constantly swallowing Mo Qiong.
Mo Qiong choked in pain, one mouthful after another, until the last trace of air in his lungs was expelled and filled with sea water, and he was still falling.
He struggled harder and harder, because the pain did not ease at all, but because the deeper he sank, the more terrifying the water pressure became.
The muscles, bones and internal organs were being crushed violently, and fear and despair were tormenting him crazily.
How does it feel to be suffocated for a long time without dying? What kind of torture is it to exert pressure on the human body that is enough to crush the iron, and it will only become more and more serious?
In the darkness, he could not see the sea surface at all, and felt like he had fallen thousands of meters into the deep sea.
He sank so fast that he couldn’t even sink to the bottom. The deep sea was like an endless abyss, not to mention the bottom of the sea, there wasn’t even a stone.
There are no fish, and what is there seems to be just sea water.
It can only get deeper and deeper, deeper and deeper.
Mo Qiong was in unbearable pain, but he couldn’t die. He struggled wildly, all he wanted was to relieve the pain a little.
Suddenly, a wisp of air suddenly appeared in the deep sea.
The air that suddenly appeared did not exist in the form of bubbles in the sea, but was like an eraser erasing a blank space in the dark background.
“Boom!”
Almost at the same time, the entire endless sea was shattered.
Mo Qiong can be very sure that it is a kind of destruction, as if the earth has fallen into a black hole and perished like a devastation.
Everything suddenly seemed like the screen was turned off, falling to a thin line and then disappearing in an instant.
“Uh…”
Mo Qiong suddenly opened his eyes and sat up from the bed.
He breathed the air greedily, feeling weak all over.
Looking at the time, it was still midnight.
“It turned out to be a dream…” Mo Qiong lay relaxed on the bed.
“By the way, if I dream, does it specify the landing point? And I breathe when I sleep, will the air be shot into the dream?”
I was still a little confused when I just woke up, but thinking of this, Mo Qiong was completely awake.
He frantically recalled the details of the dream. Although everything became blurry, he could still remember the general things.
“In the illusory dream, real matter appeared, so the entire dream…collapsed?”
“But why do I feel like I’ve been drowning for a long time…Yes, maybe my long-term drowning is just because my brain thinks too fast. In fact, I just had this dream for less than a few seconds.”
Thinking of this, Mo Qiong scratched his head and realized that he might never have long dreams again.
Basically, if you dream for a second or two, the dream will be destroyed directly by exhaling.
Even if you have a long dream, the content of the dream itself spans a long time.
“Tsk, tsk, no matter what dreams you have in the future, you will interrupt them yourself.”
“I can never have any more dreams…”
