Siheyuan: a hole in the sky with you

In many people's minds, scrap stations are filled with scrap paper, scrap iron, scrap copper and the like, and are very dirty. What's so good about such a place?

However, this is only the surface layer. In fact, there are a lot of treasures hidden in the scrap yard.

In the 1960s and 1970s, people didn't pay much attention to old items. At that time, everyone thought about how to have enough food. As long as they could be exchanged for food, antiques and non-antiques were sold directly.

You don’t even have enough to eat, and you’re still thinking about antiques and antiques.

This time Zhou Jianguo was going to take a look inside to see if there were any antiques or anything like that. In addition, he also collected some scrap iron, scrap copper and other materials. Then he would use the power of the cave world to test the creation of sewers.

Pipes, flushing toilets, etc.

In order to avoid being exposed or attracting anyone's attention, Zhou Jianguo did not choose to go to the scrap collection station near the courtyard. Instead, he took a bus and came to a scrap collection station in the suburbs on the other side of Kyoto.

This scrap collection depot is not big. There are only five staff members inside, and they are all middle-aged and elderly people in their 40s and 50s.

"Hey, kid, what are you doing here?" An old janitor who looked to be in his fifties looked at Zhou Jianguo and asked.

Zhou Jianguo is extremely thin due to chronic illness. Although he is thirteen years old, he looks like he is only in his early teens at most.

"Uncle, I'm here to buy some second-hand furniture and dishes for use at home." Zhou Jianguo said bluntly.

"You buy it?" The gatekeeper said with disbelief on his face.

"Go, go, kids, go and play. This is not a place for you to play." The gatekeeper was about to drive people away. Zhou Jianguo was too young, so he thought Zhou Jianguo was playing here.

"Uncle, I'm thirteen years old!" Zhou Jianguo explained helplessly, looking at the old man who still didn't believe it. He only showed him two big black sheets, and then the gatekeeper believed it.

"Boy Zhou, the second-hand furniture and dishes you want are all over there." The old janitor kindly pointed to a direction on the left and said. In the moment, Zhou Jianguo had already introduced himself.

"Okay, Uncle Xu, let me go over and take a look first."

"Well, go ahead, be careful, those furniture are not light, don't get hurt." Uncle Xu warned again.

There's nothing I can do about it, Zhou Jianguo's body looks quite thin now, and no one would be at ease looking at it.

Zhou Jianguo smiled and nodded, and soon he came to the place pointed by Uncle Xu.

As soon as he arrived here, Zhou Jianguo was shocked. What appeared in front of him was a large pile of second-hand furniture. There were so many second-hand furniture that they almost filled the surrounding space of forty or fifty meters.

Desks, Eight Immortals tables, coffee tables, dressing tables, chairs...all kinds of second-hand furniture can be found here.

"Unfortunately, most of them are damaged." Zhou Jianguo shook his head. There was a lot of furniture here, but nine of the nine floors were damaged.

Either a corner here is missing, a leg is missing there, or an armrest is missing... Anyway, every piece of furniture is somewhat broken, and not many are complete.

"That's right. The intact furniture has long been sold in second-hand furniture stores. How can it be placed at the scrap collection station like garbage." Zhou Jianguo smiled mockingly to himself.

Now is the 1960s, and everyone is very poor. The furniture in the house is easily thrown away. Even if it is broken, it is repaired and used again. Therefore, the furniture that will be thrown away will only be dilapidated and difficult to repair.

.

The furniture in front of Zhou Jianguo is like this now. It is in dilapidated condition and cannot be repaired at all.

However, Zhou Jianguo didn't care at all, because the surprise had already appeared in front of him.

Without even looking carefully, Zhou Jianguo saw that the three chairs in front of him were made of rosewood. However, they did not look very good. They looked like garbage, so they were abandoned here without any care.

.

"The first thing I saw was the rosewood. Isn't it too exciting?"

Zhou Jianguo suppressed his inner excitement. In the eyes of others, the pile of wood in front of him was rotten wood, but in his eyes, it was a huge gold mine.

For example, the rosewood in front of him was worth as much as gold in his previous life, but now it is discarded here like garbage. Zhou Jianguo almost smiled crookedly.

Rosewood chairs are treated like this, which shows that there are definitely more furniture made of similar high-grade wood. What he needs to do now is to find them all.

"This is a huge treasure house!" Zhou Jianguo looked at the "shabby" furniture everywhere and shouted in his heart.

"Hurry up and take a look at how many treasures there are here." Zhou Jianguo couldn't bear it any longer and opened his mental power. In an instant, everything within a radius of a hundred meters was in front of his eyes.

"This is red sandalwood, this is huanghuali, this is golden nanmu..."

Treasures came into Zhou Jianguo's mind one after another. In just three minutes, he saw no less than twenty pieces of antique furniture made of precious woods such as rosewood, huanghuali, and golden nanmu.

As for why Zhou Jianguo knows these woods, he won't tell you that when he was a sophomore, he and a few classmates went to the countryside to dig out an old house during the summer vacation, so he knew about some antiques...

"There are so many, how can I take them away?" Zhou Jianguo had a headache. There were too many pieces of furniture that he was interested in. If he bought them all, not to mention it would cost a lot of money, and other people would definitely buy them when they saw it.

I suspect there is something wrong here.

"Forget it, let's just take it away. Otherwise, if I don't take it away now, it will be sent to the stove in the canteen and burned as firewood, or it will be slowly corroded by the rain. So, I might as well take it away now.

Take it away, and at most wait until you donate some in the future."

Zhou Jianguo nodded secretly and made up his mind.

"Collect!" Pieces of furniture were quietly collected into the cave world. The number seemed to be quite a lot, but compared to the small mountain-like size of the scrap yard, it was nothing.

"Hey, there is a hidden compartment here!" Zhou Jianguo's eyes lit up, and his mental power found a hidden compartment at the bottom of a very ordinary wardrobe.

"Oh, two big yellow croakers, five small yellow croakers, more than a hundred pieces of ocean, and dozens of gold and silver jewelry and jade pendants, I'm rich!" Zhou Jianguo's eyes lit up, and he put all these treasures into the cave world in the next moment, feeling in his heart

A burst of ecstasy.

When he came here, he had thought about whether such a good thing would happen to him. Now that it had actually happened, Zhou Jianguo was really excited!

"Well..." At this moment, there was a fluctuation in the space. Zhou Jianguo sensed it carefully and found out that it was caused by the jade pendants he had just brought in.

"So that's it!" Zhou Jianguo soon understood. It turned out that the jade pendants he had just put into the space contained a certain amount of spiritual energy. The Cave Heaven Orb reacted by swallowing them and absorbing the spiritual energy inside.

"People used to say that jade has a spirit and can nourish people. I didn't believe it at first, but now it seems that it is indeed the case!" Zhou Jianguo sighed.

He really didn't believe in these things before, but reality forced him to believe that there were indeed some extremely magical things in this world.

Just like the Cave Heaven Orb he got, isn't it the most magical treasure?

"Jade really contains aura, so did the martial arts on TV and movies also exist in the past?" Zhou Jianguo's mind came alive, and he couldn't help but start thinking about the martial arts in movies and TV.

Flying flowers and picking leaves, sword energy spanning thousands of miles... This is definitely the biggest dream in the hearts of all Chinese men.

Zhou Jianguo didn't have this opportunity or the ability before, but now he seems to have this opportunity.

"Huh...!" Zhou Jianguo took a deep breath and suppressed the excitement in his heart.

"Relax, relax!!" Zhou Jianguo took a few deep breaths, and then his excited heart slowly calmed down.

"When I get back, I'll find some martial arts secrets and practice as soon as possible. Maybe there will be a big surprise." Zhou Jianguo's eyes were full of eagerness to try. Regardless of whether there was real martial arts or something like that, he wanted to try it out.

And, to be honest, Zhou Jianguo was very confident about whether there was martial arts. After all, he had such a treasure as the Cave Heaven Orb, so martial arts, or cultivation, must exist.

At most, there are differences such as low martial arts, medium martial arts, high martial arts, and immortal martial arts.

"Come on, future hero Zhou!" Zhou Jianguo was full of motivation and quickly scanned all the furniture.

It has to be said that the harvest this time was not small. In addition to the previous hidden grid, Zhou Jianguo found two more hidden grids and obtained three large yellow croakers, eighteen small yellow croakers, more than 700 oceans, and hundreds of fish.

Pieces of pearls, jewelry, jade pendants, etc.

It can be said that he gained a lot this time.

The only pity is that there are no paintings or calligraphy, which makes Zhou Jianguo a little disappointed.

Among the antiques, calligraphy and painting are quite a big part. Originally, this was something Zhou Jianguo was looking forward to. However, there are no antiques in the area of ​​calligraphy and painting here.

But after thinking about it carefully, he understood, because the three hidden compartments he found were all at the bottom. This place is directly in contact with the ground. It is usually wet and wet. If you want to store paintings and calligraphy here,

, Haha..., it won't take long for these paintings and calligraphy to be destroyed by the moisture seeping from the ground, so no one would hide calligraphy and paintings in such a place.

After collecting the antique furniture, Zhou Jianguo turned his attention to the second-hand dishes, or antique porcelain, aside.

Zhou Jianguo was also disappointed this time. His harvest was almost zero. Most of the second-hand porcelain here was not very good. At first glance, it looked like it was fired in an ordinary folk kiln.
