Chapter 1103: Reason
readx;
Yan Xiaowei is a graduate student in the Japanese Department of Lanzhou University, but the reason why he chose this major is not because he has a good impression of the Japanese language, but because he lives in a city in the northeast with a lot of trade with Japan, and it is relatively easy to find a job after graduation. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The cost of hiring Yan Xiaowei in Zhongchuan is 30,000 RMB for two weeks, which is far beyond the price in Yan Xiaowei's heart, and now he has 30,000 yuan for nothing, and Yan Xiaowei, who has a very average family background and even some difficulties, is naturally very happy.
However, Yan Xiaowei could also hear what Zhongchuan meant, taking this money is hush money, which means that he can't tell the location of the place he went to afterwards, it is Yan Translator with a smile on his face, which will be thinking in his heart about how to put Zhongchuan together.
"Fuck your mother, the master will take you to a circle for an extra 50,000 yuan, what a fool......"
The second egg, who was also smiling happily, used the words of the little black in Hong Kong to greet Nakagawa's immediate family in his heart.
Erdan's so-called circle, in fact, is just for Zhongchuan to see, because Erdan understands very well in his heart that if Brother Mengzi and they have the heart to follow, their own group will hide under the sand and be found out by Mengzi.
And after listening to Mengzi's words, Erdan was still a little afraid in his heart, he wished that Zhuang Rui and others would be in the back, and someone would follow, in case something happened at that time, wouldn't there be someone who could help rescue him.
"Could it be that I came out this time and didn't go to pay homage to the Great God of the Eight Mountains? Or was the imperial concubine punished on the day I came? Why is it so bad luck that I always meet those Chinese?"
Riding on the back of a smooth camel, looking at the endless yellow sand, Zhongchuan was also full of thoughts, he couldn't figure it out, there are more than a billion people in China, but let him meet Zhuang Rui and others one after another.
When he was in Xi'an, Zhongchuan got a hint from Director Ma that the other party was the person he couldn't afford to provoke, well, he couldn't afford to provoke himself, right? After paying the fine, Zhongchuan moved out of the five-star hotel on the same day.
But I didn't expect that when I went to the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang the next day, I actually met Zhuang Rui and his party again, and Nakagawa carried forward the Japanese temperament of being a grandfather and a grandson, and disappeared from the sight of Zhuang Rui and others without saying a word.
But something that Nakagawa never dreamed of happened again, in this barren desert where birds don't lay eggs, he was lucky enough to see Zhuang Rui and others again, if it weren't for Nakagawa's tenacity, it is estimated that he would have fallen off the camel's back just now.
Zhongchuan already knew that Zhuang Rui and the others were an archaeological team, which made him even more avoidable as a thief, and even gave up the plan to visit the site, and promised a lot of money to stay away from Zhuang Rui and his party as soon as possible.
"When I find the temple marked on the map, I will give these people a lot of money when I go back, so that they can keep it a secret......"
Nakagawa thought about his thoughts, and slightly looked sideways at the Erdan and Professor Man and others who led the way in front, in his heart, these Chinese can be bought with money, and what Nakagawa lacks the most happens not money.
It's just that Nakagawa doesn't know, as far as his mind is concerned, even the second egg who has only been in elementary school for six years can see it, and this will be thinking in his heart If he can find the ancient temple, will he consider developing a new desert tourist spot, I don't know if Nakagawa knows the mind of the second egg, will he vomit blood angrily.
When Nakagawa was thinking about it, he suddenly found the camel leading the way in front of him, turned his head and walked back and forth, and couldn't help shouting: "Hey, what's the matter? Why did the camel team turn back?"
"Mr. Nakagawa, don't you want to let someone follow behind? Mr. Erdan said that he was doing it according to your instructions......"
When Yan Xiaowei was translating Li Erdan's words, he wanted to laugh in his heart, you also went around in a circle and then turned around, is there such a perfunctory thing?
"Yo Xi, tell Mr. Li Erdan that we are all under his command......"
When Nakagawa heard that this was the case, he breathed a sigh of relief, although he carried a map from more than 90 years ago in his arms, but if he asked him to run into the desert to find the ancient temple, it is estimated that the place was not found, and the person would have died in it.
Nakagawa should actually have the surname Yoshikawa, and in the sixties of the last century, their entire family changed their surname from Yoshikawa to Nakagawa.
That's right, friends who know the history of Dunhuang can already guess that Nakagawa is the descendant of the Japanese explorer Yoshikawa Koichiro, who defrauded more than 400 volumes of handwritten scriptures with only 350 taels of silver in 1912 of the last century.
In the early part of the last century, Koichiro Yoshikawa traveled around Southeast Asian countries and stole a large number of foreign precious cultural relics and rare treasures by many shady means, and after returning to Japan, he invested in a lot of industries.
After Japan's defeat in World War II, the Yoshikawa family sold many valuable items plundered by foreign countries, and with their deep financial resources, they gained a place in the Japanese chemical industry.
However, in order to cultivate the cultural heritage of the family, the Yoshikawa family has kept more than 400 volumes of Dunhuang handwritten scriptures from China, and spent money to find some scholars to study and sort out.
Nakagawa's father is a famous Japanese theorist of Dunhuang culture research in the fifties and sixties of the last century, and other people in the family are keen on business, Nakagawa's father is most obsessed with these scriptures and documents that record ancient Chinese civilization, so his status in the family is not high, and he is not taken seriously.
In the late sixties of the last century, when Nakagawa's father was sorting out handwritten scriptures from China, he accidentally found a map in a scripture book with detailed notes indicating the origin of the map.
Nakagawa's father, who was familiar with Chinese characters, was overjoyed when he saw this map, because it was a handmade map made by Wang Taoist priest, drawn in 1911 in the last century, and the content on it made the old Nakagawa ecstatic.
The annotations on the map show that the scriptures and cultural relics unearthed from the Dunhuang scripture cave are not more than 50,000 pieces known to the world, but the total number is actually more than 80,000 volumes.
It's just that more than 30,000 of these scriptures were just unearthed, and they were given to an old friend by Daoist Wang, who was the presiding officer of an ancient temple not far from the North Gobi at that time.
Although the desertification of the area where the temple is located is not so serious, the ancient temple has also been attacked by wind and sand, and the temple that originally had some incense has become very decaying.
If the monk can't eat or drink, he will run, so there are only three or four people in the entire ancient temple, including the host.
And not long after the Taoist priest Wang sent out the scrolls, the host sat down, and before the sitting, he asked the Taoist priest to inform the Taoist priest Wang, asking the Taoist priest to keep the scrolls properly.
More than 30,000 volumes of scriptures, is not a small amount, when Wang Daoist transported over, he used a lot of carriages, the traffic was not as convenient as now, from Dunhuang to Qiujiawo to take a big carriage takes three days.
The Taoist priest did not bring the scrolls back, but built a dark room in the temple and hid more than 30,000 layers of scriptures, and never mentioned this matter to anyone later.
However, out of habit, Wang Daoist recorded this incident in detail and made a map, Lao Zhongchuan deduced that later it may be that when Wang Daoist sorted out the Dunhuang handwritten documents, he did not pay attention to the map and sandwiched it in.
After getting this map, Lao Nakagawa was like a treasure, in order to let the family know that doing research can also be useful, Lao Nakagawa never told anyone about this discovery, and wanted to find this batch of cultural relics and ship them back to Japan to make a splash.
It's just that because of Sino-Japanese relations, Lao Nakagawa has never been able to come to China.
After the normalization of diplomatic relations between China and Japan in 1972, Lao Zhongchuan finally came to Dunhuang in the name of a scholar in the mid-seventies of the last century through various relations.
It's just that when Lao Zhongchuan was about to go to that ancient temple, he was dumbfounded, because the original oasis had become a desert, and he alone could not reach the ancient temple at all.
At that time, China was still in the period of the unprecedented revolution, the government agencies were in chaos, and the people did not have the concept of protecting cultural relics at all.
It's just that Lao Zhongchuan never thought that this trip to China was the time of his death, and in the place close to the ancient temple, the strange quicksand swallowed more than ten fresh lives, including the ambitious Lao Zhongchuan.
The death of a foreign friend in China was treated by the government and an investigation was immediately launched, but one of the people who entered the desert at that time was crazy, and the other did not know the reason why Lao Zhongchuan went to the desert, and the matter was finally settled.
For Qiu Jiawo, this is a tragedy in the town, but it did not attract attention to the Nakagawa family in Japan, because the old Nakagawa did not explain this matter to the family, so at that time, the Nakagawa family thought that this was an accident that happened when the old Nakagawa was tracing the footprints of his ancestors.
But just last year, when Nakagawa was sorting through his father's diary, he finally discovered this shocking secret and got a photocopy of the map.
Unlike the seventies of the last century, Dunhuang studies have formed a culture, and Nakagawa is well aware of the value and influence of these more than 30,000 Dunhuang scrolls.
In order not to attract the attention of relevant Chinese departments due to the leakage of rumors, Nakagawa came to China celibate in the name of investment inspection.
Although more than 30 years have passed, Nakagawa has not forgotten how his father died, and he does not want to reunite with his dead ghost father under the sand, so there is such an expedition team composed of guides, desert experts and translators.
