Ma Cheng and others were all old world, old fox, and Li Du's deep smiles were seen by them, and they immediately became wary.

However, they could not find out the truth, because the treasure-picking people gathered up enthusiastically, dragged them to drink and eat meat, and began to identify the things they brought.

The most popular thing is hunting knives. The treasure-picking people inserted the hunting knives into the land. The bright blade reflected the scarlet flames, making them look murderous.

Boer's eyes were immediately attracted, and he asked, "This is the hunting knife you brought out from the Hopi clan? Oh my God, they are so beautiful, you made money this time!"

Hans said: "Yes, we made a fortune, but unfortunately you didn't go to Page. Otherwise, we would join forces to go to the Hopi reservation, which would not only bring back the hunting knife, but also the coffin."

"Coffin?" Ding Xiaofeng was startled.

Li Du explained: "The coffin production of the Hopi tribe is unique. They use fully handmade craftsmanship, with complicated processes and scientific processes. They also like to make various styles, saying that they are making works of art without any problem."

Ding Xiaofeng suddenly said, "Oh, so that's it?"

Li Du nodded and said, "Yes, that's it, don't you know?"

Ma Cheng continued: "Haha, we are in California and don't know much about the Hopi people. Besides, we are mainly responsible for artworks in East Asia, and other colleagues in North America are responsible."

The wine-fighting session began. A group of treasure-picking men took off their clothes and started to toast with their shirtlessness. Beer, wine, whiskey, and a mixed cocktail. Anyway, the glass was dry and the wine was clean and neat.

Ma Cheng avoided the treasure picker who was urging him to drink. He walked to Li Du and asked, "Xiao Li, don't you have something for us to show you? Why haven't you seen it?"

Li Du sighed and said, "Wait a minute, I'll take it out now."

He took out the patina-covered metal hand from the safe in the room and asked, "Can you tell what this is?"

After getting the metal hand, Ma Cheng started to think about it in the light of fire. He looked at it for a while and shouted to the other two people. The other two people rushed over and then they started to discuss it together.

After the discussion, Ma Cheng turned around and said, "Xiao Li, you are a bit weird. To determine its identity, you may need to remove the patina. Is it okay?"

Li Du asked: "How to remove the patina?"

Ma Chengdao: "The best way is to use abrasive sandblasting, which is to spray the dry or suspended in liquid on the surface of the copper hand, and then the rust layer on the surface is oxidized and the dirt is dried."

"It is also possible to use wood chips, talc, acetic acid and glass powder to add ammonia water, which will react with the basic copper carbonate in the aerugine to form a soluble blue cupric complex."

Li Du smiled bitterly and said, "Nothing is these."

Du Dayuan smiled and said, "There is always white vinegar? It's okay to scrub it with white vinegar, but you can't remove these debris completely, but you can remove some of them and reveal your true face."

There was some white vinegar here. He went to get a bottle, and the three of them carefully used a brush dipped in white vinegar and brushed it on their copper hands.

As the turbid green liquid flowed down, the face of the copper hand became clear.

Some letters appeared on the back of the brushed copper hands, and the three of them gathered together to discuss again.

Finally, Ma Cheng said: "There is probably information, Xiao Li, where did you get this thing? This should be a sacrifice from Yemen. If it is the authentic product, it will be valuable."

Li Du said: "This is something that a friend asked me to keep. He said he got it from Arabia. As for the authenticity, it is not clear."

Ma Cheng showed an excited expression on his face and said, "I got it from Arabia? Then it is very likely that it is a real sacrifice hand!"

“Is it very precious?”

Ma Cheng nodded heavily: "Of course, the sacrifice hand was a folk religion token that rose from 100 AD to 300 AD. As for which religion it belongs to is no longer verified, it can be confirmed that it is a local religion that has disappeared."

He showed Li Du's bronze hand, pointed to the letters carved on the back of his hand and said, "This is an ancient Yemeni text. It is unclear what it is written, but it may be related to the religion and gods at that time."

"This Arabian bronze hand is often a model of a real hand, and their masters want to put their hands into the hands of the gods he admires for deep grace, so they have these works."

Li Du said with admiration: "Teacher Ma, you know so much."

Ma Cheng shook his head and said, "This aspect is not my strength. After the three of us discussed it, we will come to this conclusion. If we show it to experts who study local religions in the Middle East, he can give more information!"

At this time, Ding Xiaofeng said, "By the way, isn't Jigulas the appraiser of religious supplies in the Middle East? Let's show him, he should know this thing."

Ma Xingnan looked at Li Du and said, "Jigulas is in Los Angeles, Xiao Li, can you go to Los Angeles with us recently?"

"Recently?" Li Du shook his head and smiled bitterly, "I'm afraid it won't work. I'm going to participate in the Autumn Harvest Festival in Flagpole City at the end of the month."

Du Dayuan said: "If Xiao Li, you can trust us, then we will take the sacrificial hand back to show our colleagues and then return the information to you."

"How can this work?" Ma Cheng frowned, "This is too much request, we have only known each other on the first day."

Du Dayuan said: "It doesn't matter. Let's talk to Jigulas first and ask him to estimate the price, and then mortgage Xiao Li according to the estimate..."

"Yes," Ding Xiaofeng said in agreement, "If we don't bring enough money, don't we still have a batch of rubies and jewelry in the bank? It must be enough to add up, but it's just mortgaged to Xiao Li anyway."

Li Du laughed, and the few of them asked and answered themselves, it was really calculating.

He calmly took the copper hand back and said, "If you go to Los Angeles, when will it take?"

"It's better to be before the autumn auction, otherwise we have no time, which is just these few days, around the end of the month." Ma Cheng thought.

Li Du said: "Okay, I won't participate in the Autumn Harvest Festival anymore. I'll go to Los Angeles with you."

Ma Cheng and others were stunned, then nodded and smiled, "Okay, that's OK."

Li Du packed up his brass hands and returned to the cottage. He went to the balcony on the second floor and lay on the railing to look at the crowd of people below with excitement.

After drinking a can of beer, he took out his cell phone and called out: "Hey, Luoshu, it's me."

Luo Chuan said, "I know it's you. Who else calls me that besides you? What's wrong? You won't come back tonight? Are you fooling around outside again?"

Li Du said angrily: "What is fooling around? I'm doing a serious business."

"Can you do a good job with your left and right?" Luo Chuan said disdainfully.

Listening to her tone, Li Du could imagine the girl's lips curled.
