Chapter 261: No Dead Body
"My grandfather?" Tang Yi looked at Tang Zhongfeng, and his heart trembled suddenly.
Tang Yi's grandfather, Tang Zhanyun, died in the early seventies of the last century, when Tang Zhongfeng was not yet ten years old. Later, it was his grandmother who pulled his father up, and Tang Yi's grandmother died when Tang Yi was in high school.
The cause of Tang Zhanyun's death was never mentioned by Tang Yi's grandmother. Tang Zhongfeng is an only son, but he was young at the time, and he was ignorant of many things, and his impression of Tang Zhanyun was not very deep.
Young Tang Zhongfeng, the most memorable scene is that one evening, Tang Zhanyun walked out of the house with a big suitcase, before leaving, Tang Zhanyun said a word to Tang Zhongfeng: "The sky has a great responsibility, you can't avoid it, and you can't avoid it, but you will be defeated in the end." Take your share of responsibility, and you will be a winner in life! ”
This sentence is too profound for Tang Zhongfeng, who is less than ten years old. He remembered it because it was the last time he saw his father. Of course, what Tang Yi said today is not the same as what Tang Zhanyun said at the time, but it is basically the same.
A month later, the news of Tang Zhanyun's death came, and he was dead without a body.
What is in the urn in Tang Zhanyun's cemetery is a set of clothes that he wore before his death, a set of burnt clothes.
Don't look at his father, Tang Zhongfeng doesn't know much about Tang Zhanyun, only know that he studied in England in his early years, graduated from the Department of Archaeology of Cambridge University, returned to China in the fifties of the last century, and worked in a unit with only a code name in Shanzhou.
It was also his unit that informed Tang Zhanyun of his death, but he only said that he died in the line of duty and gave him a large pension. But to this day, Tang Zhongfeng doesn't know what the unit where his father works is called, and he doesn't even know if there is such a unit now.
While working in Shanzhou, Tang Zhanyun met Tang Yi's grandmother and married her. Tang Yi's grandmother was a middle school teacher at the time, and her family was ordinary, but she was extremely beautiful.
There are some things that Tang Zhongfeng also told Tang Yi, but because he knew too little, he just said three or two sentences, and after a long time, he didn't mention it again.
However, Tang Zhongfeng never mentioned this sentence that Tang Yi said. In fact, if Tang Yi hadn't suddenly said it, he would have suspected that he had forgotten it.
After Tang Yi said it, Tang Zhongfeng thought of it like an electric shock, as if he felt that this sentence had been deeply imprinted in his mind.
"Take your share of responsibility, and you will be a winner in life!" Tang Zhongfeng said, "This is the second half of what your grandfather said. ”
Tang Yi nodded, but didn't say anything.
"Alright, let's hurry up and go." Tang Zhongfeng quickly adjusted, and said to Tang Yi again. Tang Zhanyun is too mysterious, so mysterious that even his family knows very little. And this is a sad thing, Tang Zhongfeng stopped it in time.
Tang Yi then remembered that when he was communicating just now, the mobile phone text message seemed to ring, and he hurriedly took a look, and Lin Huanting had indeed sent a text message: Half past six, Cantonese Flavor House.
"Dad, it's only a little past four and a half, I'll go home with you first, and bring the gifts I bought from the porcelain capital by the way." Tang Yidao.
"Okay." The two of them walked out of Gebaoduo, pulled the door and locked it, and went home together.
I didn't mention it, but because of this same sentence, Tang Yi suddenly became very interested in his grandfather's affairs. This interest is even greater than exploring the secret of the embroidered spring knife.
Tang Yi returned home, his mother went to buy vegetables, Tang Zhongfeng was going to take a bath first, and Tang Yi dug out the old photo album at home alone.
In the album, there is the only photo of grandpa. This is a half-length photo with my grandmother, which should vaguely be taken before marriage in that era.
Although it is a black and white photo, it can still be seen that the grandfather in the white shirt is handsome and resolute, and the grandmother is also beautiful.
Tang Yi looked at the photo and was distracted.
He didn't know why he had sent a god to say such a thing. However, before leaving, grandpa told his father such a sentence, which probably expected that this trip was not an ordinary thing, and the so-called "avoidance can't be avoided", revealing a strong sense of mission.
"I knew you'd find old photos to look at." Tang Zhongfeng didn't know when he appeared behind Tang Yi.
"Dad, what the hell does Grandpa do?" Tang Yi asked suddenly.
"How do I know this? He studied archaeology, maybe it has something to do with archaeology, that era is different from now, archaeology is a bit mysterious. I only know that although the department where your grandfather works is located in Shanzhou, it is directly under the state, and the code name should be 0503, but I don't know what unit. Tang Zhongfeng said softly, "Later, I inquired, no one knew that there was such a department, and it may have been abolished a long time ago." ”
Tang Yi fell into deep thought, "This department is so mysterious, if there is an accident, it can be understood if you can't see the corpse, after all, there are some special places that are likely to go and never return." But he said this to you before leaving, as if he had expected something. In the end, no body was found. Dad, do you think my grandfather won't die ・・・・・・? ”
"Don't talk nonsense. It's been more than 40 years. Tang Zhongfeng's brows gathered a trace of worry, "You are still young, do what you want to do, don't think nonsense." ”
"Did Grandpa leave any relics?" Tang Yi asked again.
Tang Zhongfeng tried his best to recall, "I heard your grandmother say that when your grandfather left that day, he took away a lot of commonly used things, and this photo was left at home, and even the clothes that were out of season could not be found now." ”
Tang Yi frowned.
"That's right! Tang Zhongfeng suddenly remembered something, "Your grandfather once went on a business trip and brought me a small copper compass, which I haven't lost, it seems to be in the jewelry box left by your grandmother." ”
Tang Yi and Tang Zhongfeng found their grandmother's relics together, and in the jewelry box, they saw this small compass.
The compass is still yellow, about the size of a palm, with a compass in the middle. There are five circles along the center. There are five squares in the innermost circle: gold, wood, water, fire, and earth; The outer circle is gossip: Qiankun Zhenxun Kang Gong Lidu; The third circle is the ten heavenly stems: A, B, C, D, pente, hexagen, xin, non dec; The fourth circle is the twelve earthly branches: Zi Chou Yin Mao Chen Si Wu Wei Shen Youxu Hai; In the fifth circle, there are twenty-eight pictograms.
Tang Yi looked at it for a while, "Twenty-eight constellations!" This compass is not quite the same as a normal compass! ”
"It's a little strange, but look at the copper pulp and workmanship, that is, the things of the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. At that time, such things could not be kept, and your grandfather also instructed me at that time to play secretly at home and not take them out of the house. Tang Zhongfeng recalled.
