Chapter 210 The blizzard stopped
Be sure not to blur the ink in the middle, otherwise the front will be dry and the smile on Shen You's face will disappear.
When taking off the rubbed rice paper, you must also watch the timing carefully. It will not work if it is too wet, and it will not be taken off if it is too dry.
Of the two broken stone slabs, only one has characters on it, the other has only patterns, and there are two incomplete characters, which should be B and Ren in the Ten Heaven Stems.
You can also make rubbings, but it's not necessary.
It seems to be some kind of totem, and there may not be any matching information in the world.
The totem style of the Bronze Age was simple, without developed handicraft technology, and the tools used were relatively primitive.
The writing on the stones is not very regular, and it is even harder to distinguish.
It was already late at night after the rubbings were finished. Shen You closed the shop and went upstairs to rest.
I didn't sleep much last night. I slept very deeply today and didn't wake up until after 12 noon.
The alarm clock that asked her to get up at nine o'clock to exercise rang and was pressed off.
When she got up at noon, Shen You steamed some homemade sweet sausages sent by her aunt from her hometown, as well as some spareribs in the refrigerator.
Breakfast and lunch were eaten together, a simple meal, and it was already past one o'clock when the meal started.
After eating and packing up, Shen You took the rubbings, paper and pen, and copied out the words on them.
There are only a dozen words. Every time I write, I feel like I can’t write. It’s too difficult.
She tried her best, but her writing was ugly.
I divided the dozen or so words into three copies, took pictures and sent them out to ask what they meant.
Replies were received one after another, and there were a few words in the middle that no one recognized.
Shen You came to the conclusion by guessing who the king asked to tell the gods and what he was praying for.
Xu Jiayan also saw something from the few texts Shen You sent him.
"The last half should be the unfinished word 'Qiang'. The Qiang people are said to be a certain tribe, and some are said to be the general name for the prisoners of war who were used as sacrifices.
The text you sent records sacrifices, but there are two words in it that I have never seen before. I just looked through the public information and couldn't find it. Also, I don't know what Yu mentioned above refers to. ”
He wanted to ask where he saw these words? There are actually two words that may not have been found in China.
Xu Jiayan does have first-hand information about the current world. If there are any problems, he can probably tell.
This is also the reason why Shen You didn't show it to a few old professors first, who were more powerful.
It is not easy to bring this thing into the modern world, and it will affect the research of contemporary experts.
After confirming that there was no problem, she would show it to a few old professors.
"A friend from abroad gave me a rubbing." This is what Shen You said, still a friend out of nowhere.
Sure enough, when Xu Jiayan heard this, he couldn't sit still, "Can you let me take a look?"
This time, Shen You sent complete photos of the rubbings to both him and Professor Li. After receiving a reply, she went to Boss Fang to return the favor.
Everyone's views were similar. Shen You and Professor Li's master and apprentice had a phone call. They didn't explain it clearly, but they talked about it.
Professor Li also knows that this thing has the same nature as the 'fake ancient books' from last time.
It's hard to take out the slate.
"This Yu may be the name of a person or a place. The rubbing is real, but unfortunately incomplete." The house owner asked, "Are you selling this?"
If it's not expensive, he wants to take it.
He had never seen a few characters inside, which made the items even rarer. He wanted to collect them for himself.
Shen You: "I won't take action for now. I'll come back to you when I want to take action."
"Okay." Boss Fang didn't feel that Shen You was perfunctory with him.
She doesn't collect rubbings or study calligraphy, so there is a high possibility that she will take action.
And Shen You has a good reputation in the circle.
Before going back, Shen You stopped by and bought some fireworks. In previous years, they were not allowed to be set off or sold during the New Year.
Jiangcheng only lifted restrictions last year. They cannot be placed in the city center or commercial areas, but can be placed in your own yard.
There are parachutes, tops spinning on the ground, and extended snowflake sticks. "There are only two Gatlings left. They will sell out quickly during the Chinese New Year. We will have them back the day after tomorrow." The boss took out a big plastic bag and helped her put everything in it.
Fireworks are so expensive now. She has forgotten what they cost when she was a child, but the price increase should not be so exaggerated.
Gatling costs 70 each, and you can only buy 100 rounds for 600 yuan. The boss said it is absolutely beautiful.
It’s not good to see the money.
Shen You wanted to see how beautiful she was.
The trunk cost more than a thousand.
After returning home, she received the last batch of express delivery this year, which was also the New Year's goods she bought, some nuts and drinks, and she bought them cheaply in time for the event.
I hurried to Daqi to dig up antiquities, but everything was piled up in the shop before I had time to dismantle it.
As expected, it was snowing heavily here in Daqi. When I stood out, I felt like my body was being blown out of shape, and I couldn't see clearly.
Shen You had already figured out where to dig according to the information provided by Professor Li, the ancient road and the terrain.
But the wind and snow were too heavy, and she didn't want to waste her safe time here.
I only dug two shovels under the door. Good luck doesn't come all the time. I didn't dig it this time. Snowmen piled up beside the wall.
Shen You also wanted to make the pile more attractive, but because he was not good at craftsmanship, he just touched the black media and turned it into an abstract emoticon package.
Good.
She was cold and returned to the house holding the shovel.
In the early days, such blizzards were extremely difficult for people in Shuozhou City.
But today is different. They have fuel for heating, food, and no foreigners have invaded. It is rare for them to live a good life.
It's the same in the military camp.
The soldiers who were given grapefruits yesterday were extremely moved. Some of them had never seen this kind of fruit that can only be grown in the south.
Before, 90% of people had frostbite on their hands and feet, which were swollen, itchy and painful. They were so uncomfortable that they couldn't sleep at night.
Since receiving the frostbite ointment, the house has become warmer, I can rest well and eat fruits. I never thought I would feel so comfortable before.
The military doctor touched his beard and sighed, "I don't know if the master will accept his disciples."
Chilblain ointment is really useful. He studied it for a day and couldn't figure out what it was made of.
I really envy Lao Zhou and the others for going to see the master.
"General, it's snowing so heavily today, should we go to the master's house to see if there is anyone who needs help?" the military doctor said.
Liu Yunyan, who was nibbling the newly made pancakes, raised his head,
"With such heavy snow, the road over there is difficult to walk. The master's house does not need to burn charcoal fire, it will be warmer than burning charcoal fire, so there is no need for our help."
She actually wanted to go and have good food and drinks at Shopkeeper Shen's place.
But you can't just run over and disturb others. Although it's impossible for foreigners to come in this kind of weather, you can't let down your guard.
Two days passed like this.
In the early morning of the third day, the blizzard suddenly stopped, earlier than expected, which was not a good thing for Shuozhou City.
As soon as the snow stops, the foreigners will prepare to attack the city again.
What's worse is that in this situation, it is impossible to send people out to find out about the heavy armored cavalry.
Reinforcements haven't come either, so I'm afraid the situation isn't very good either.
Liu Yunyan had a hunch that foreigners would not be able to break the incendiary bottles, so the next time he tried, heavy armored cavalry would definitely be involved.
The facts were similar to what she had guessed. General Lu in the northwest of Shuozhou City was also surrounded.
He couldn't blame him. The heavy cavalry soldiers were sitting on their war horses. As soon as they waved their weapons, the murderous intent in their bodies overwhelmed them.
Can't fight.
If it weren't for the cold-warming supplies that Li Heng bought from Shen You earlier, the losses would have been even greater.
