Several people moved all the things on the ground and prepared some protective materials in their cars. Li Mo personally protected the two Tang Sancai and seven pieces of porcelain one by one.

"Mr. Qin, I know all those porcelains. What are these two big ones?" Not only Gu Lishi was curious, but other security guards were also very curious, but they couldn't ask directly.

"Tang Sancai, one is a tomb-suppressing beast, and the other is a pottery figurine. From archaeological excavations, we know that tomb-suppressing beasts were first seen in Chu tombs in the Warring States Period, and were popular from the Wei and Jin Dynasties to the Sui and Tang Dynasties. During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, tomb-suppressing beasts were generally placed at the door of the tomb.

In front of him, there is a human face and an animal face, facing each other on the left and right. The piece I bought just now is a Tang Sancai human-faced beast, so I guess that Tang Sancai animal face may also be in his hands."

"The Tang Dynasty developed the practice of guarding tombs to ward off evil spirits to the extreme. Cypress trees were planted on the ground, stone lions, stone figures, etc. were placed on the ground; tomb guarding beasts, warrior figurines, heavenly king figurines and twelve zodiac figurines were placed underground. This three-color pottery figurine from the Tang Dynasty is a warrior

There is absolutely no way that there can only be one figurine.”

"Mr. Qin, can you believe what that drunkard said?"

"Although I don't know the origin of these things, I have a hunch that there should be a batch of authentic antiquities from China in his hometown in the countryside. If that is really the case, I guess more people will be needed this time."

"Okay, let's arrange this."

The security guards around him were dispatched not only to protect Li Mo's safety, but also to cooperate with all his actions.

"Before taking action, you should confirm whether the old house he mentioned belongs to him, and you should be more cautious when doing things in a foreign country. There is no need to transport the things in the car back to the hotel. You can find a way to transport them directly to the embassy in the United States."

"Has this been transported before?"

"Well, those antiques that are not from China are also shipped here. I will communicate with interested museums in Europe and the United States about the exchange in the future."

"Yes, I understand, we will execute it immediately."

Li Mo knew that in addition to the four security guards following him, there were many people secretly there. He did not ask further questions, as long as he got things done.

"Mr. Qin, we have communicated well, but for safety reasons, lawyer Gulishi and I will first verify his identity. If there is no problem, we will go and take a look at the things in his old house."

Steven and Gulish came over and said respectfully, followed by the sloppy middle-aged American man. He didn't want anything. He was holding a wine bottle in his right hand and an unopened high-end bottle of wine in his arms.

It's red, but it seems to be walking pretty steadily.

"Okay, then I'll leave this matter to you two."

The two of them went to do errands, and Li Mo continued to walk around Harrison Avenue, but didn't pick up anything more. Back at the hotel, the experts working at the Boston Museum had finished what they were doing.

"Expert Qin, did you gain anything today?"

Expert Huang and several familiar experts came to Li Mo's room. They found a Qianlong Imperial Da Yue Dao worth more than 5 billion yesterday. They couldn't sleep well at night. They wished they could go out and go shopping.

You might be lucky enough to find one or two antiques.

"Today was just so so. I mainly found two pieces of Tang Sancai. One is a three-color human-faced tomb-suppressing beast, and the other is a three-color warrior figurine. The rest are small things, just some porcelain and the like."

Li Mo was sitting on the sofa and drinking warm water. He was really not used to living here. He asked the hotel waiter for a cup for a meeting. The other person was surprised that there was no hot water to drink, but there was hot coffee.

Well, both sides are not thinking on the same level.

"Tomb-suppressing beasts and warrior figurines?" Expert Huang thought for a moment and said, "So the opponent should have other Tang Sancai in his hands?"

"Probably, I've already asked someone to investigate the details, and I'll have the exact information later. What do you want to eat tonight? I can't eat the food in this hotel."

"We are the same. Fortunately, there is a Chinese restaurant nearby. Expert Qin, let's go there to eat in the evening."

"It's what I want. It's best to order some authentic Hunan dishes, especially the fish head with chopped peppers, fish with peppers and so on. They can be very appetizing."

"When you say that, my stomach starts to growl. Let's go there now."

Steven and Gu Lishi returned to the hotel after eight o'clock in the evening. They brought back good news to Li Mo. The identity of the drunkard was no problem. The old country house was actually passed down by his ancestors and was located near a farm.

A little off.

"The American was addicted to alcohol and had always lived alone. Because he was often drunk, he became an unemployed vagrant. If he couldn't stay in the city anymore, he could only return to his old house in the country. At least he could have a place to live.

So, I occasionally work on a nearby farm to earn some money for drinking.”

"Have you seen those ancient artifacts he mentioned?"

"There is a basement in the old house. He accidentally discovered it. There were many boxes piled inside. We opened one of them and found all kinds of porcelain in it. But we couldn't tell whether it was true or false. American men are also afraid

We have no intention of doing anything, so he only let us take a look and urged us to leave quickly. Before leaving, he told us to bring enough cash to buy it tomorrow."

"Then I can only go to the site tomorrow to see the specific situation. I will bring a few boxes of high-end wine and some food tomorrow."

"Let's go do this now."

Li Mo nodded, took out two checks from his bag and handed them over, a little more than yesterday.

The next day, the weather was not very good, so Li Mo and the others set off in a car early in the morning, followed by two minivans. Boston was very luxurious, but the farther the car drove out of the city, the more empty it felt outside the city.

There are all kinds of large farms everywhere you look.

After driving for about two hours, the car came off the highway and turned into a small road. After driving for almost half an hour, it finally stopped on the road in front of a house. Everyone got out of the car, surrounded by farms and fields, and far away in the distance.

There are several slightly larger houses standing in the place.

The land here is vast and sparsely populated.

When Steven moved two boxes of high-end wine into the old house, he heard the drunkard's happy laughter. It seemed that as long as he could have a sip of good wine, he would be satisfied.

"Where's the master?"

Steven showed a dumbfounded smile and said, "He asked us to go down and move by ourselves. He wanted to drink some wine."

There were four rooms in this old house, and an open wooden shed was built on the east side, with a lot of messy things piled inside. Li Mo saw that the drunkard was already sleeping on the recliner, drinking sips of good wine.

He said calmly: "Take me to the basement first and take a look."

The basement is in a house to the west. A bed that is about to collapse has been moved to the side, and a movable lid is exposed on the floor. Steven pulls up the lid, revealing a basement entrance. He and Gulish go down first.

Li Mo followed behind. The basement was not big, and it was almost filled with wooden boxes, probably more than thirty in number.

If all the antiques stored in it are, then this place can be regarded as a small treasure house.

Li Mo opened a wooden box and inside were three Tang Sancai pieces, one of which was a tricolor animal-faced tomb-holding hand beast.

The tomb beast squats on the pedestal with its chest raised. The head of the beast does not look like any animal, but its eyes are bulging and it stares eagerly. It opens its mouth to reveal four fangs, and its face is ferocious. There is a curved horn on the top of its head, and there are wings on each shoulder.

, cloven hoof. The whole body is covered with yellow, green, white and brown glaze, which is colorful and gorgeous.

"nice one."
