Chapter 11: The Secret of Ten Years Ago
"Tell me what it was like eleven years ago. ”
Liu Xiaoran was wrapped in gauze, holding a cup of hot tea in his hand, sitting in a separate small room on the second floor of the villa, looking at the few people in front of him with a somewhat sluggish expression. Until now, he didn't know what had just happened, let alone how the men and women in front of him, who knew at a glance that they were big shots, were invited by his sister to help.
"Brother, be obedient. Xiao Ran touched his face distressedly, glanced at Ji Yiming next to him and said: "These brothers are all benefactors who helped you solve the mess, they just want to know about the ancient tomb back then, just tell everything you remember, and then my sister will take you to take a good bath and go home to recuperate." ”
"That thing ......"
After being comforted by her sister, Liu Xiaoran finally calmed down, and after taking a sip of hot tea, her face was a little more ruddy, but her eyes still had a misty look, I don't know if it was because of the fear or memories of being tortured for several days.
"Although I remember that incident in my mind, I have been asked countless times by many people in my life, and after so many years of repeated recollection, I can't actually determine whether every memory is true or false. ”
"If you say it, we will judge whether it is true or false. Yu Zhenzhen sat opposite him, with a warm smile on his face all the time, which somewhat eliminated Liu Xiaoran's apprehension: "It's safe to get here, our Mr. Ji and your sister are friends, so naturally they will take care of you - those who illegally detained you should be in the process of arresting you now." ”
"Thank you, don't I have to pay my debt?"
"Not only do you not have to pay it back, but if the information you provide is valuable enough. Yu Zhenzhen patted the back of his hand, and her voice had a nice magic: "We will also give you a sum of money, enough to buy a house in Suifenhe City and do a small business, and then marry a daughter-in-law and have a baby in the future, and you can live a prosperous life." ”
"Hmm. Liu Xiaoran's eyes showed a glimmer of hope, and nodded obediently: "That incident happened ten years ago, I just entered the fourth grade of primary school, and it was about the same winter as now. It was colder than it is now, and I remember that before I went to school, the weather forecast was playing on the radio, and the lowest temperature of the day was minus 32 degrees. ”
Even for a place like Suifenhe, which is next to the northeastern border of Russia, minus 32 degrees is considered an extremely low temperature.
"To say that the school was also hateful at that time, I had to go to self-study in the morning without a holiday on such a cold day, and I had to go out to school before dawn or five o'clock. Ten years ago, my old house had not been demolished, and it was more than two kilometers away from the school on the corner of Jianhua Village...... Pity me, a ten-year-old child, who went to school in the cold and walked to school with snow up to his knees. ”
"Talk about the point!" Ying Xingtian was a little impatient, and interjected in a cold tone.
The concubine next to her hurriedly stopped her, and when she heard the words, she said, "It's okay, let the family talk slowly." Ten years ago, you can't recall everything at once. Starting from the details can also enhance the sense of the current picture, and the chance of error is also smaller. ”
Liu Xiaoran glanced at her gratefully and continued: "But the strange thing is that I know the way to school with my eyes closed. That day, I didn't know what was going on, and I didn't know how far and further I went, and I didn't even know how long it was. Anyway, when I came back to my senses, I was already on a barren mountain in the suburbs. ”
"Do you remember the location?"
"I remember there, I can take you there when I turn around. Liu Xiaoran nodded at Yu Zhenzhen, who spoke, and then continued: "What's even more strange is that after arriving on the barren mountain, the sky that had gradually brightened became dark again. You don't know that our teachers were fierce at that time, and if you are late, you will not be punished for corporal punishment, but you will be allowed to stand motionless outside the classroom for fifteen minutes - the weather, ten minutes can freeze and numb your hands, feet and face, and several of my classmates still have joint disease. ”
This guy was chattering, not only did Ying Xingtian listen with impatience on his face, but even Ji Yiming looked at Xiao Ran next to him a little speechlessly: "Has he always been like this?"
The latter made an embarrassed expression and replied in a low voice: "Born, follow my mother." ”
How talkative should your mother be......
In the impatient faces of everyone over there, Liu Xiaoran finally realized that something was wrong and began to get to the point: "Later, after walking for a while, I don't know what time it is-the conditions at home are not good, and my parents didn't buy a mobile phone or a watch-I saw a pure circular pit facing down in the middle of the three dead trees with crooked necks in front of me, and there was a little colorful light faintly revealing inside." ”
Ying Xingtian and the others were slightly shaken, and they couldn't help but get closer to him.
"It's also my own death, but now I see this strange situation how far away I must be hiding and how far away, but at that time, I thought I had encountered something like fairy fate and adventure in the TV series, so I stupidly walked to the entrance of the cave, closed my eyes and jumped straight down. ”
"I thought about it and fell into a coma after the jump, but the memories were so confusing at that time that I probably ...... Maybe half an hour to an hour. ”
Liu Xiaoran scratched her hair, and wanted to dwell on this irrelevant time issue again, but the concubine Zhenzhen next to her finally couldn't help but interrupt: "Mmmm, we know that you are in a coma, what about after you wake up?"
"After waking up...... train of thought was temporarily interrupted, and the chatty young man was stunned for several seconds before reconnecting with the "previous text": "When I woke up, I found myself in an underground palace, surrounded by magnificent ancient buildings, with colorful lights shining everywhere on the outer walls, and a square bigger than our school playground under my buttocks. A group of ancient soldiers in bronze armor and long-handled weapons walked around me without making a sound, and the whole scene was as strange as the previous mime movies. ”
Yu Zhenzhen's eyes turned slightly, and while asking Liu Xiaoran about the details of those armored soldiers, she took out a pen and paper and drew a few vivid portraits on the paper with a few strokes, except for the blurred face, the details on her body were extremely detailed: "Is it a warrior like this?"
The latter's face was full of admiration: "Yes, yes, yes, I have said it so many times, only the young lady can understand, it is basically exactly the same as those guys I saw when I was a child." ”
Yu Zhenzhen put away the pen and paper, and her smile was still warm and warm: "It's okay, you can go on." ”
"The fighters didn't seem to be real, and on a few occasions they came straight at me without bumping into them, and they went straight past me. What's even more strange is that every time they pass through, my consciousness seems to blur a little, and then the whole person becomes confused, and I don't know what I'm thinking in my head. ”
"And then ...... My memory became more and more blurry, and my location seemed to change several times. From the very beginning of the large square to a secret room about the size of three or four classrooms, there are still more than a dozen coffins made of stone, with characters on them, but unfortunately I don't know them, only that they are probably ancient fonts. ”
Yu Zhenzhen drew a symbol on the table with a pen: "Is this the font?"
The former tilted his head and looked at it for a long time, then closed his eyes and hesitated for a long time, and finally said: "I don't remember......"
The symbol twisted and turned, although Ji Yiming couldn't recognize the meaning but could still distinguish the source, but his heart also moved slightly, and he thought of the historical location of Suifenhe - he had a rough guess.
Yu Zhenzhen noticed his gaze, turned her head and smiled at him, with an indescribable charm flowing between her delicate eyebrows.
"When I woke up, it was one or two o'clock in the middle of the night, and I was lying in the snow in front of my house. Liu Xiaoran finally ended her rambling narration: "Since that day, I have dreamed every night, and I will dream of the scenes in the ancient tombs and ancient cities, and my body is not as good as day by day, and I have a cold and fever from time to time, and I have chills and sways all over my body, and even the doctor can't find out what the reason is, and it was not completely better until two or three years ago." However, my memory and brain flexibility are much worse than before. ”
"Yes, my younger brother was very smart when he was a child, and he scored two hundred points in the final exam of the year. It was after that incident that it plummeted. Xiao Ran added next to him: "That's why my parents spoil him so much and make this kind of thing." ”
"So ......" Ying Xingtian, who listened to the story, turned on the wall projection with the remote control, directly enlarged the map of Suifenhe City, and adjusted the location of "Jianhua Village": "The location of your old house before, mark it." ”
Without waiting for Liu Xiaoran, Xiao Ran clicked directly on the screen: "Here." ”
Ying Xingtian marked it red, and then put out the map panorama: "What about the location of the entrance to the ancient tomb?"
This time, Liu Xiaoran, who witnessed it, stood up, hesitated for a moment and drew a circle in the southeast and northeast corners of the map: "It should be in this area, I went to look for it myself a few times later, and the whole city also searched many places for the day I disappeared...... I have the highest impression of being here. It's just that the crooked neck trees have never been found, and if it weren't for the fact that they disappeared all day in the middle of the night, and then appeared at the door of the house for no reason, I really thought it was just a strange dream. ”
Ying Xingtian pondered for a moment and nodded at him and Xiao Ran: "It's okay, you two go home and rest first." If you need anything, Yiming will contact you. ”
"That...... Money?"
Liu Xiaoran wanted to ask Yu Zhenzhen about the "honorarium" just now, so Xiao Ran hurriedly pulled him by the side: "Why do you ask this, people have already helped so much, you have to ask for money if you say something!"
The concubine next to her smiled coincidentally: "Don't worry, someone will send you home later." If you find a place, you may still need Mr. Liu's cooperation again, after all, only you have actually entered that place. ”
……
……
"So, that's your judgment?"
Waiting for Liu Xiaoran's sister and brother to leave, Ying Xingtian glanced at the few twisted words on the Yu Zhenzhen paper, and nodded thoughtfully: "Before Nurhachi called the emperor 'Qing' in Shenyang, the Jianzhou Jurchen, one of the three major tribes of the Jurchen tribe, migrated to the hometown of Jianzhou in Bohai Subin Mansion, and has been in the current Mudanjiang, Suifenhe and Changbai Mountain for a generation. If it is said that there are relics left by the original Jurchen tribe, it is not impossible. ”
——Yu Zhenzhen is written on paper, which is the Manchu script that few people have mastered today.
Translated into Chinese, it is the word "Jurchen".
"In the clues left by Jiang Zhiyou, there is the word 'ancestral land'. Ying Xingtian's starry eyes flashed with wisdom: "The tomb of Nurhachi is located in the 'Dongling' in the northeast of Shenyang City, and has not yet been fully excavated, but there are still hypotheses that it is just a pseudo-cave, and the real tomb should be hidden elsewhere......"
Ji Yiming is no stranger to Qing history, and quickly thought of the connection: "Nurhachi is the sixth generation of the Jurchen ancestor of Jianzhou Mengge Timur, and also served as the commander of the Ming Dynasty's official position of Jianzhou Zuoweidu, it is said that when he was young, he often engaged in trade activities with the Mongols and Han people near Fushun City, Liaoning, and it is not impossible to choose to build a tomb here." ”
"In that case, let's continue searching this area. Ying Xingtian nodded again, and his finger swiped over the red* domain on the projection screen: "The internal focus is to disperse some people to go to other places to disguise and search, so as not to let other organizations notice our movements." ”
And then ...... Let's find out for ourselves. ”
