Chapter 280: A Grave Robber’s Hiding Spot
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Gu Yang flipped through the soil and took out an entire antique vase. Then, she continued to turn the soil, revealing some porcelain corners. “The soil here is relatively loose. It’s clear that it has been recently dug. It’s obvious that someone deliberately buried these antiques here. Judging from the looseness of the soil, it hasn’t been buried for long.
“It has been raining in Zhu Town for the past two days. Last night, there was heavy rain. The terrain here goes downhill, so a corner of the thing under the rain was exposed. Since it’s buried so carelessly, it can be seen that the person who buried it was in a hurry.”
When Gu Yang said this, everyone present looked at the soil that could be removed without a hoe and came to a realization.
Qi Xu was stunned. He did not think to this level. He looked at the ancient artifacts that had been dug out and still had some doubts in his heart. He said perfunctorily, “I didn’t expect Miss Gu to know how to identify antiques.”
“The elders in the family like to collect antiques, so I more or less know a little.” Gu Yang smiled.
Most of the elders of wealthy families liked to collect antiques, calligraphy, and paintings. Gu Zhaoming’s father, who was the old master of the Gu family, also liked to collect these.
As the daughter of a wealthy family, the original host did know about antiques, calligraphy, and paintings. However, she could not say that she knew how to appraise them. She only knew a little.
But she knew how to appraise them! Not only did she know, but she was also lucky enough to often find treasures.
In all her life, apart from the fact that she had transmigrated into a book after inheriting billions of assets, her luck was indeed quite good.
Ruan Chu was enlightened when she heard Gu Yang’s words. The old master of the Gu family liked antiques, calligraphy, and paintings, but the Gu family in Jin City was distant from the main family and rarely interacted with them.
Ji Jingchi supported his chin with one hand and picked up a bamboo branch to imitate Gu Yang. He gently pushed the soil away, his eyes filled with excitement. “In that case, we really found a treasure.”
Ruan Chu’s eyes were calm. “We must have dug up a grave robber’s hiding spot.”
Qi Xu looked at his watch and reminded her, “It’s getting late. Why don’t we dig for winter bamboo shoots first?”
Although Gu Yang came from a wealthy family and had come into contact with many things, he didn’t think that Gu Yang would know how to appraise antiques at such a young age.
It was not easy to be an antique appraiser.
What grave robber’s hiding spot? The more she spoke, the more ridiculous it became. It was probably just some unwanted trash left here. Only Ji Jingchi and Ruan Chu would take Gu Yang’s words so seriously.
However, when he said this, Ruan Chu and Ji Jingchi looked at him in confusion.
“This is a cultural relic. Isn’t digging up cultural relics better than digging winter bamboo shoots?” Ji Jingchi was in high spirits. He realized that every time he met a little fairy, he would encounter something interesting.
Team Bamboo Shoot Snatchers had a disagreement, and the audience in the
live stream was even more heated. Some people turned into Sherlock Holmes to make deductions, while others felt that Gu Yang was just trying to get attention. Overall, it was centered around whether or not it was a real cultural relic. There were those who supported it, and there were naturally those who opposed it.
[Gu Yang’s guess is still valid. The soil could be dug apart with bamboo branches, and the vase was clearly buried by someone. Who would bury an antique in the wilderness for no reason? It’s probably a temporary hideout for grave robbers.]
[Although Gu Yang grew up in a wealthy family and has come into contact with antiques, calligraphy, and paintings, I don’t agree with her appraisal. She even said that it was from the Qin Dynasty. Does she think she’s an antique appraiser? Anyway, I don’t believe it unless it’s part of a script arranged by the production team.]
[I feel like Brother Qi Xu is the only one who understands. What antiques? They’re probably vases that were buried as trash! Ruan Chu and Ji Jingchi are wasting time with Gu Yang. Look at Best Actress Qiao and Tang Qiaoqiao.. Their baskets are almost full of winter bamboo shoots!]
