Tang Yi took the plastic bag, thinking that this was the old man being polite, so he smiled and said, "You lifted me!" ”

"Actually, I wanted to give it to you." The old man smiled long, "But this thing is too cheap, it's better to sell it." ”

Hearing this sentence, Tang Yi was a little foggy. I thought to myself, I have never known this old man all my life, and I really don't know what he means.

However, if it is an acquaintance, the meaning of this sentence must be something to ask for, so Tang Yi asked tentatively: "Old man, do you still have something to say?" If I can help, I will definitely help. ”

When the old man heard this, his face was overjoyed, and he actually arched his hand, "When we meet in Pingshui, I am really embarrassed to speak, but I haven't seen anyone with such vision for many years, I have something that I have been holding in my hand for more than 50 years, but I have visited many experts, and I can't say what it is." It's almost a problem for me, but when I have a chance, I'd like to try it too. It's abrupt, but I'll take the liberty of it! ”

Tang Yi's curiosity rose all of a sudden.

If the old man said that he had seen this thing from many experts, and the conclusions about the truth and falsehood were different, this was nothing, and Tang Yi would not be curious. However, what he said was that he couldn't recognize what it was・・・・・・ and Tang Yi had originally come out to wander. So he nodded happily.

The old man looked happy, packed the things on the stall into a large suitcase, pulled the rod and left.

After leaving the flower and bird market and crossing the road, the old man came to the old house in the high-walled compound. Tang Yi was taken aback, "You won't live here?" ”

"What do you think!" The old man smiled, "This used to be a royal mansion, which was partially destroyed in the seventies of the last century, and then repaired and rebuilt, and now it is open to women and children's activity centers. ”

Tang Yi took a closer look, and sure enough, there was a white sign on the side of the gate, but the gatehouse was too big, and the sign was too small to be inconspicuous, so he hadn't noticed it before.

Tang Yi followed the old man from the front of the old house, went around to the alley strings at the back, and then entered a courtyard.

This courtyard is more appropriate to call it a miscellaneous courtyard. The old man lives in two rooms on the landlord's side and one east wing. The reason why it can be seen that this is all the old man's is because the old man erected a half-human high fence in the courtyard against this range and opened a small gate. Of course, the small door is not for anti-theft, but is hooked with a wire.

"Sit down. My wife has passed away, my children are out of town, and I am alone! The old man opened the door and entered the main room, pointed to the sofa and said to Tang Yi.

Although the house is not big, it is clean and tidy, and the outside room is a living room, with a long sofa, a wooden coffee table, an old-fashioned color TV, and a round table on the other side, which is estimated to be used for eating. Others, there are lattice cabinets and chests, and in the lattice cabinets, there are some old objects such as porcelain.

One of the inside, I think it's a bedroom, the door is not closed, and you can see a wooden bed from the living room, and a large wardrobe. At the same time, there are more other things in the bedroom, which are fuller than the living room, and the variety of things is also varied. From the angle from which Tang Yi sat down, he could see several boxes stacked on top of each other, and some old clocks and watches were placed on them.

The old man poured Tang Yi a cup of hot water, "Wait, I'll show you something!" ”

Tang Yi nodded, took a sip of water, stood up and looked at the relatively large pieces of porcelain in the lattice cabinet, which were basically based on things from the folk kiln, and occasionally there were one or two official kilns from the late Qing Dynasty, either with Chong (note: jargon, cracks on the porcelain), or there were remnants.

In the corner of the cabinet, Tang Yi suddenly found a photo frame, this photo frame is placed on the side of the inside, so it is not very conspicuous, Tang Yi tilted his head and looked at it, it was a group photo of two young people, black and white photos, the light was too dark to see clearly, but the small words under the photo could be understood: 1961, Zuojialou in Kunlun Mountain.

The old man hadn't come out of the bedroom yet, thinking that he had placed this thing too tightly and securely. Tang Yi was curious for a while, and he didn't care too much about the number of courtesies, so he took out this photo frame.

In the photo, the snow-capped Kunlun Mountain is behind them, and two young people are vaguely on the edge of a village at the foot of the mountain, both wearing military coats. Tang Yi first recognized one of the young people as if it was this old man when he was young, while the other young man was more handsome in appearance, but his face was even more blurred.

At that time, the photographic technology naturally couldn't be the same as now, and it was a black and white photo, but Tang Yi stared at the other person in the photo for a while, as if he felt like he had seen it somewhere.

Don't?!

Tang Yi's heart trembled.

This person is very similar to the photo of his grandfather who he has seen at home!

It's just that the photo of my grandfather I saw was a photo of my grandfather and grandma, and it was a half-length photo of the summer and autumn seasons, and the hairstyle was also a short haircut. And the young man in this photo is wearing a military coat and his hair is relatively long, so he looked at it for a long time before he felt similar!

At this time, the old man came out with a small box, looked at Tang Yi stunned at the photo frame, stepped forward and gently took out the photo from Tang Yi's hand, "It's been more than fifty years, I was only nineteen years old at the time, and I had just graduated from secondary school. ”

Tang Yi came back to his senses, "Old man, I'm sorry, I took your things privately." Since I have taken the liberty of asking, I would like to ask again, is this person in the photo you? ”

"Yes, I graduated from Yanjing Science and Technology Secondary School, and followed the geological survey team to Kunlun Mountain, which is a village at the foot of Kunlun Mountain, called Zuojialou, according to legend, it is the place where Zuo Zongtang was stationed in the late Qing Dynasty・・・・・・"

This person is old, and it is very easy to recall the past, Tang Yi couldn't help it, and interrupted: "Old man, what is this person next to you doing?" ”

"This person?" The old man narrowed his eyes, "This is my savior!" ”

After talking for a long time without getting to the point, Tang Yi couldn't help but ask directly, "Is this person's surname Tang?" ”

The old man's hand holding the frame couldn't help but shake, "You know him?" ”

"Old man, let's do this, I'll help you see the contents of the box. Can you start by telling us about this person? Tang Yi took the old man's hand and came to the sofa and sat down.

"Okay, it's not a while! Besides, what a coincidence, what I'm going to show you is also related to this person! The old man put the box and picture frame on the coffee table in front of the sofa, "Young man, I don't know what you call it?" ”

"My name is Tang Yi." Tang Yi thought to himself, related? Could it be that this thing came from Kunlun Mountain, and I couldn't help but glance at the small box a few times, "You are also surnamed Tang?" The old man was taken aback again, picked up the box and opened it, "Take a look, talk while watching, don't delay your work!" ”
