Earth Fire Chapter 36 Xu Jin
The double fish ring on Xu Jin's back was not born with it. But one day, it popped up out of nowhere.
If it was a specific day, Xu Jin couldn't remember it exactly, but it was in the summer of 1996.
Xu Jindi's family background is not bad, an antique art master from Beijing, tracing back to the top, the ancestor of the Xu family is a famous master of the Ming Dynasty Xu Zhenghan. Xu Zhenghan is not well-known, but the accuracy of his vision and the profundity of his craftsmanship are convincing. The Xu family arrived at Xu Jin's grandfather's generation, and started the business of selling antiques, which started from a stall on the ground in that era and has been the largest antique company in China today, and even the largest and most famous auction house in China - Yanbo Auction House.
Since he was a child, he has been exposed to the atmosphere of Chinese classics and antiques, and Xu Jin naturally embarked on the road of cultural relics.
However, it was the summer of 1996 that really captured Xu Jin.
There was nothing unusual that day, Xu Jin said to the little aunt of the domestic helper, and took the change to go out to buy popsicles to eat. At that time, the water ice was sweet and cool, Xu Jin bought a pineapple-flavored one, and the yellow and clear ones were particularly good-looking, and Xu Jin happily walked home.
But suddenly, the sky changed. Xu Jin hurried home, but the rain fell without warning. Xu Jin held a popsicle, depressed, so he had to find a place to hide from the rain, in front of the left, a man stood in front of the store to avoid the rain, Xu Jin's eyes lit up, and he ran over with his slippers.
Click, the sole of the shoe slipped, Xu Jin threw himself forward, fell to the ground, and the popsicle slipped out and mixed into the muddy water. Xu Jin opened his mouth and looked at the popsicle in a daze.
I've only eaten half of it. Xu Jin sighed regretfully. Raising his head, the man hiding from the rain in front of the store looked at him speechlessly.
A little embarrassed, Xu Jin smiled stupidly. Maybe it was because he didn't get up on the ground all the time, and the man walked into the rain and picked Xu Jin up.
Standing in front of the store drenched, watching the man patting the raindrops on his body, Xu Jin wiped the water on his face and said thank you embarrassedly.
The man laughed, very heartily. It's a bit of a joke about Xu Jin, "You can't run like this in slippers, my son always fell like this when he was a child, and he threw himself forward, hey, hahahahahaha." ”
Xu Jin also smiled, it's a pity to have popsicles.
"You are a good child, you have a big heart. I don't know if I can't talk to strangers?"
Xu Jin scratched his head: "Uncle, you are not a bad person. ”
"Let me ask you, do you know Harbor Lane?"
"You know, who is my uncle looking for?" There are not many residents in Gangli Lane, and the largest one is the Xu family.
The man raised his eyebrows, and glanced up and down a lot of Xu Jin, Xu Jin didn't know what he was looking at, but the man smiled again: "Look for your father and grandfather." ”
"Oh. Xu Jin nodded, "Wait for the rain to stop." I'll take you away. ”
The man liked the little fat man in front of him very much, smiled and nodded.
The rain soon stopped, Xu Jin took the man's hand and went home, seeing Xu Jin coming back dirty, the little aunt sighed and looked at the man vigilantly.
The man didn't care, as if this was the proper attitude, and showed a hearty and friendly smile: "Hello, my name is Lin Feng, and I made an appointment with Mr. Xu Yanbo to meet today." ”
"Wait a minute. The little aunt led Xu Jin in, and asked Lin Feng to come into the house and sit.
Xu Jin changed his clothes and returned to the living room, his grandfather Xu Yanbo, his father Xu Yanyan and Lin Feng were already in the living room.
Seeing Xu Jin, Lin Feng couldn't help but praise him for his cuteness.
Xu Jin ran to his grandfather's side and told his grandfather and father that he had just fallen down and this uncle helped him up.
Xu Yanbo is close to his sixtieth birthday, his body is very tough, and he is as tall and straight as a pine tree when he sits on the chair. Xu Yanbo touched Xu Jin's head, "Lin Feng, thank you." ”
"Mr. Xu is polite. ”
"You have helped the Xu family a lot, I don't know how to thank you for this. ”
Lin Feng shook his head, "I can only help him for a while, and there are many things that I still can't change." I came here this time, and I am also sorry, I am afraid that I will not be able to help you too much. ”
Xu Yanbo sighed, "This is fate, and it is inevitable that it cannot be changed." Our Xu family has nothing to repay. ”
Xu Jin was confused, but he just helped himself, grandpa can't thank others so much. Obviously, they weren't talking about Xu Jin. But Lin Feng's eyes fell on Xu Jin again: "I look at this child very well, and it is fate that we can meet." ”
Xu Yanbo held Xu Jin's hand tightly. Xu Jin looked up at his grandfather suspiciously, and Lin Feng waved his hand: "Old Mr. Xu, don't be nervous. This kid also has his way to go. ”
Xu Yanbo sighed and nodded in understanding.
Lin Feng left after a while, and he didn't come back after that. But a few days later, the mark of a double fish ring appeared on Xu Jin's back.
It's like it grew out of its own flesh.
Xu Jin was a little scared, and for the first time, he cried non-stop, and even had a low-grade fever at night.
In a drowsy state, Xu Jin saw Lin Feng coming, he touched Xu Jin's forehead with a cold palm, Xu Jin felt very comfortable, and the muttering disappeared. He heard his grandfather's voice: "If this is his life, then he will admit it." ”
The father said, "I just feel sorry for the child......"
Lin Feng's voice sounded: "Mr. Xu, don't worry, he will be ...... without illness and disaster."
After getting better, Xu Jin didn't see Lin Feng again, but Xu Jin never had a serious illness again, and he has been an adult peacefully, but the Pisces ring has not disappeared and has always been a part of Xu Jin.
“…… My grandfather and father didn't let me tell anyone about the Pisces Ring, and they never stopped me from choosing the restoration of cultural relics, but they all said that it was my life, and I never knew what my life was, so I have been working on cultural relics until now. ”
Speaking of this, Xu Jin drank some water, "Grandpa told me that Lin Feng saved my life, although I have no impression, I am also very grateful." But grandpa said, 'Our Xu family owes Lin Feng too much', and I didn't think I had any connection with Lin Feng until Brother Lin, you came to the Forbidden City.
-- Things suddenly moved forward.
Brother Lin, if Master Tuonigila means that you need the mark of the Pisces Ring as a guide in your life, then I am the mark left to you by your father Lin Feng. ”
Xu Jin's voice gradually fell, remembering that a certain attempt to explore the Pisces Ring was unsuccessful, and his grandfather told him: "Xu Jin, go the way you want to go, one day, what our Xu family owes Lin Feng will have to be repaid." The Xu family owes you. Grandpa is sorry for you. ”
"My father ......", Lin Hainan murmured, from the beginning, he would choose to work in the Forbidden City because he wanted to find the truth about his father's disappearance, but the more he searched, the more confusing he became. In 1996, Lin Hainan was 10 years old. Lin Feng was first appointed as the head of the Department of Cultural Relics Restoration of the Forbidden City.
"I think my father doesn't have the ability to save lives...... Lin Hainan pinched his eyebrows, never imagined that Xu Jin and his father knew each other, "And I always thought that my father's investigation into the depths of the Sahara Desert in 2001 was the beginning of everything, and now it seems that the real beginning of things, what we need to trace, was a long, long time ago......"
"So," Yumi stood up, "Have you found Brother Lin, your father Lin Feng, and I can also know about my biological mother?" Yumi pulled back a little corner of his clothes, revealing the mark on his waist that was exactly the same as Xu Jin's.
Lin Hainan was surprised, and Feng Jianfei set off a shocking wave in his heart.
The combination of four members of the Forbidden City team is not accidental, Feng Jianfei, who first entered the Forbidden City to work, was because of his father Feng Qianshan, and then Xu Jin walked into the Forbidden City because of his preference, and brought Youmi, who had the same mark, into the Forbidden City, the three of them have met in the Forbidden City for three years, Lin Hainan is late, but it is the key to open the door to everyone's fate, and all this, as Xu Jin had a hunch, is the clue left by Lin Feng.
"Your biological mother, is it the woman who appeared on the wall in the Imperial Island?" Lin Hainan remembered that at that time, Yumi did not take pictures of that woman, and thought that Yumi was negligent, but now that he thinks about it, he understands that Yumi should have done it on purpose.
Sure enough, Yumi nodded apologetically.
"Then there is no doubt that the Pisces ring should be the focus of our pursuit. Lin Hainan wrote down the words "Pisces Ring" on his notes, "Master Tuonikira came from the depths of the oasis, and the people there use the Pisces Ring as a totem, and there is a Pisces Ring mark in the Emperor Island, but the identity and role of the Oriental artifact are still unclear to us, but the Interstellar Development Group, this game provides a large number of cultural relics with the Pisces Ring mark, combined with what Yumi said, the word 'ruins' said by the woman on the wall of the Emperor Island, it can be seen that in addition to the oasis, there should be at least one site related to the Pisces Ring." So I deduced that the dark shadow that appeared in the rest area should be because of the people in the depths of the oasis, because of the appearance of the Pisces ring mark, and they were about to move. ”
"We need to go. Feng Jianfei said.
"But not now, at least the game is over. "According to Master Tunigira, it takes at least four days to get there, and it takes ten days to go back and forth, and there is no such long break in the competition.
Lin Hainan was not in a hurry, and looked at the three people present, "The place where the expedition team entered back then should be the tribe in the depths of the oasis. Either way, if you want to know the truth, that's the place you have to go. And now, whether it is the Pisces Ring, the tribes in the depths of the oasis, or even my father Lin Feng, we are currently under the surveillance of the Interstellar Development Group and the Eastern Artifact, and winning the game is the top priority. ”
"Understood!" the three nodded.
Shata never appeared, and the mysterious black shadow suddenly disrupted the situation, if it wasn't for Lin Hainan's reminder, Feng Jianfei and the three of them almost forgot about Shata's threat.
I have to say that this game, hosted by the Interstellar Development Group, but the Oriental artifact lurked in, behind the scenes, it was an invisible game between the two parties. And finding the point of struggle between the two sides seems to be one of the keys to unlocking the Pisces ring mark.
