Chapter 387 Dunhuang Posthumous Letter

"Aunuch Liu, don't worry, drink some water first..."

While persuading the old lady, Wang Liang handed the water to the old lady. The old lady hesitated for a moment to take it, but did not drink it.

Looking at this scene, Wang Liang also knew that if he didn't make things clear first, he estimated that the old lady could not drink water. He sighed and looked at Chen Ran and said slowly, "Chen Ran, that's like this..."

It turned out that Wang Liang took this old lady to Chen Ran to help see something. The old lady was not from Wang Liang's village, but from the nearby village. Wang Liang's grandmother's house is from this village. Speaking of which, she is also related to the old lady, and she usually walks quite close.

The old lady's father-in-law used to be a famous cultural person in their area. He went to college before the founding of the People's Republic of China, but at that time, he returned to his hometown to open a private school before finishing school. In addition to teaching people to read, he usually writes and draws. He is very famous in several nearby villages. The couplets and so on were all made by him. When they were in turmoil for ten years, needless to say, the old man was the key object of criticism at that time, and the books, calligraphy and paintings collected at home were all copied by the Red Guards.

The old lady's man also has unique skills. She used to be a barber, that is, the kind of barber who haunts various villages and can't earn much money, that is, to collect some food. Of course, this is no longer popular now. When she is old, the old lady and man has not done this for a long time, and there are quite a lot of children in the family, five or six. However, they have already started a family, and there is nothing to worry about. Her daughter got married out of town and only came back once during the Spring Festival. Three of the remaining five sons are working in other places. They haven't come back for several years. The two sons who stayed at home are not very promising, that is, farming and raising some cattle and sheep...

This matter started a few days ago. A few days ago, there was a rainstorm. The old lady's house was the kind of old house that had lived for decades. The house leaked after the rainstorm. The old lady and man moved a ladder and climbed to the roof of the tile house to repair the house. As a result, while repairing the house, the house suddenly collapsed. The old lady's man The man fell from the roof. The old house of the old lady's house was with a beam. When he fell down, he was hit in the leg by the beam. This is a reckless disaster. After rescuing the person, he quickly called Wang's father over. After Wang's father came over and gave emergency rescue to the old lady's man, he quickly asked someone to send him. After emergency rescue in the countryside, he was sent to the county hospital.

There is no money left in the old lady's family. The hospitalization expenses in the countryside and county are paid by Wang's father. The Wang family is not short of this money now, but after all, all the money can't be paid by the Wang family. Not to mention the hospitalization expenses and medical expenses, but the living expenses of hospitalization in the county can't be taken out by the old lady's family. It's only two days. 7,000 and eighties spent tens of thousands of yuan, and the old lady could only count on a few children, but after contacting the three sons who worked in other places, no son came back. They just asked the younger generation to visit them. Some took out 200 yuan, some didn't take a penny, and the two sons in the family did not leave the hospital. Li took care of him, but he pushed and hurled for the money. He refused to pay a penny. From time to time, he quarreled with the other three sons to come back. This accident made the whole family in chaos, and the old lady almost fell ill.

Wang Liang's family, both Wang's father and Wang Liang, are loyal and good people. When this happened to the old lady's family, Wang's father went to the hospital every now and five times to help. Wang Liang ran to the old lady's house from time to help repair the old lady's house and do farm work.

When sorting out the collapsed house, a small box appeared on the beam of the house. The box looked quite simple and carried a small lock. The small lock was broken and could be opened directly. Inside was a scroll calligraphy and painting. Wang Liang did not understand this, so he naturally thought of Chen Ran.

At this time, it was the time when the farm was busy. Originally, Wang Liang was going to come back a week later. When this happened, he took the old lady here first, so that Chen Ran could help see whether the painting was valuable or not. If it was valuable, the old lady's family undoubtedly did not have to worry about it.

Hearing that it was a scroll calligraphy and painting, Chen Ran's heart moved. He was about to buy a pair of ancient calligraphy and paintings for Ma Zhiyuan, but now he just didn't know whether the old lady's suit was suitable or not.

"Madam, can I have a look?"

If someone tells such a story to Chen Ran, Chen Ran naturally does not say anything, but now it is what Wang Liang said. Obviously, Wang Liang will never make up a story to fool him. Needless to say, this ancient calligraphy and painting is also authentic. It depends on whose authentic work and whether it has collection value...

The old lady was a little worried about Chen Ran and glanced at Wang Liang. Seeing Wang's bright head, she hesitated for a moment before she opened the burden she was holding.

"It's not convenient here. Let's go to the car." Chen Ran took a look. There was a black box in the bag. Instead of opening it on the spot, he took Wang Liang and the old lady to the car. After sitting in the car, he carefully took the black box over. The black box was not a good material. It had been corroded and rough, and several pieces had been lost in the place where the lock was installed.

Looking at this scene, Chen Ran was somewhat disappointed. If it was an expensive calligraphy and painting, it would not be saved in such a box, but it is hard to say.

After opening the box, there was a red silk, and when the silk was opened, a pair of scrolls were seen. The scrolls were closed together with a dark green jade pendant as a button. This jade pendant brightened Chen Ran's eyes. The jade pendant was obviously carved from Dushan jade in Nandu, and the carved material is not bad. Even from Chen Ran's perspective, the carving is also very good, and the jade pendant made him interested.

"Dunhuang?"

After opening the scroll, what appeared in front of him was a calligraphy and painting about two meters long. Chen Ran first looked at the title. The title was Dunhuang, and a rectangular seal was engraved next to Dunhuang. The two words Dunhuang moved Chen Ran.

"How's it going, Chen Ran?" Wang Liang, who sat aside to help Chen Ran with calligraphy and painting, frowned when he saw Chen Ran and couldn't help asking with some worry.

The old lady also looked at Chen Ran nervously. This calligraphy and painting is already the hope of her family. If it is worthless, she doesn't know how to live in the future.

"Let's take a look first."

To be precise, this calligraphy and painting should be a script. The calligraphy is beautiful and strong. The writing paper is like brown, with thick texture, good toughness, and smooth feel.

It can be seen that it is a scripture, plus the word Dunhuang, so the origin of this calligraphy and painting will come out immediately. Chen Ran is extremely happy. He didn't expect to see Dunhuang's legacy here.

Many people must have heard of the story of the Tang people writing scriptures and the king's Taoist priest selling scriptures. The monks in Mogao Grottoes hid the pictures of the scriptures collected by past dynasties in a cave. The mud wall was built outside and closed, and the treasure was buried in the cave for nearly a thousand years. At the beginning of last century, the mud wall was broken, and the sudden appearance of tens of thousands of scriptures shocked foreigners. Since then, so-called "explorers" from Britain, France, Russia, the United States, Japan and other countries have come here to steal treasures... The story of the Tang people writing scriptures has also been well-known.

After the Tang people wrote the scriptures, it led to the story of Wang Taoist priest selling scriptures, which caused an uproar in China. Wang Taoist priest also became a sinner of history. However, there are also objective statements that the responsibility should not be attributed to individuals, but history mocks the whole of China.

Specifically, this cave was discovered by Wang Daoren. After discovering the Tibetan scriptures in the cave, Wang Daoren also made great efforts at first. First, he walked to inform the county magistrate at that time and attached two volumes of scriptures. Wang Daoren's purpose was very clear that he hoped to attract attention, but the result was whether it was the county magistrate or the later new The county magistrate did not pay attention to it, and the two county magistrates were fruitless. Wang Daoren was unwilling and slept in the air. He risked being robbed by wolves and bandits. He walked 800 miles on foot and found the Taoist platform at that time. However, after reading the Taoist platform, he only said that the words on the scriptures were not as good as his calligraphy.

Later, Wang Daoren found many people and even dared to write superstitions to the old Buddha, but they were not taken seriously. Later, when Stein came to China, Wang Daoren was moved by his spirit. In addition, for various reasons, he had no choice but to sell them to Stein. Stein bought more than 10,000 suicide letters and cultural relics twice. After buying it, it was announced to the world. For a while, the scriptures became famous, because these suicide books were not pure scriptures, and also involved various records such as medical books. After the scriptures became famous, the officials of the current dynasty paid attention to it, but not protection, but robbed them. After robbed them, they were sold one after another. In a few years, British, French, Japanese, Russians and Americans all took away a lot of Chinese culture with a small amount of silver dollars.

Chen Ran didn't expect that Dunhuang's suicide note is still circulating now. You should know that except for most of the scriptures robbed by several countries, the rest are in the Beijing library, and there are almost none circulating among the people.

Chen Ran can also assert that this scripture should be Dunhuang's suicide note. Each volume of Dunhuang's suicide note is of great value. The value here is not how much money it is, but its historical value, and some even involve many lost stunts.

"There is no doubt that it was the Tang Dynasty more than a thousand years ago."

Chen Ran finally detected it with the energy aperture. Sure enough, as the result of his appraisal, this scripture is a veritable Dunhuang suicide note, which made him extremely happy. He himself wanted to include it in his pocket. The value and charm of Dunhuang's suicide note are incomparable in the collection world, which is beyond the book. The category of law, but the symbol of spirit, has great significance and value.

"Huh? What is this?"

When identifying this scripture with the energy aperture, Chen Ran's energy aperture not only absorbed the aperture of the scripture, inadvertently made an unexpected discovery.

There is something hidden in the scroll of the scripture...

Well, it's actually an animal's fur?

Is it still a treasure map?
