Chapter 11: The Japanese
As soon as Bai Liu opened his mouth, he fell generously and pointed directly at the old man's question, only to hear her ask. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Lu Dongjia, I don't know what you think of the situation in the Northeast?"
"It's not a secret, Lu has lived in the south for a long time, although he eats this bowl of rice, but it is also dark, he farms and reads on weekdays, although he also knows a thing or two about national affairs, but when it comes to the Northeast, he doesn't dare to talk nonsense!"
"There is one thing to say, admire! Although the Northeast has declared its independence and has developed rapidly over the years, I have followed my father to the south, and the Central Plains region is not comparable to the Northeast, but this is all a symptom, since the Japanese defeated the Russians, they have been seeking hegemony in the Northeast, but fortunately, the attitude of the commander is resolute, and the Japanese do not dare to act rashly. ”
"However, the Japanese are really vicious in another field, there is a Sino-Japanese archaeological research institute, can Lu Dongjia know?"
"I've heard that it was a scientific expedition team composed of a group of Chinese and Japanese scholars, but according to my analysis, it is no different from those British and American scientific expeditions, they are all tomb robberies and treasure hunts, right?"
"Lu Dongjia has good eyesight! My father has always been a member of this research institute, but he is really forced to helpless, because my Bai family is not the leader in the Northeast Jinshi line, and it is definitely a leader, and my father's ancestors have a lot of research on jade identification. So, the Japanese invited my father to participate, and he knew that the Japanese were ruthless, so he had to join in with grievances, but he always pretended to be submissive and never took the initiative to speak. ”
"Hmph, the girl's words are a little untrue, right? Your Bai family is in the sales industry, don't you have overseas shipping channels? How is this different from selling directly to the Japanese at home? ”
"It turns out that the Lu Dong family doesn't know the Bai family, although we eat in the business of selling, it is also from the ancestors, and my father is very fond of jade, and this secret channel has never been broken. Although the ancestral rule is not to ask the buyer, that can also be modified. Don't hide it from you, we bought out all the jade and left it at home, and my family never sold other jade artifacts to foreigners, they all chose the identity of buyers, and they also have patriotic complexes, but in the end whether they were smuggled out of the country, we don't know, this is also a helpless move, and I hope that Lu Dongjia will not be despised. ”
The old man regretted his recklessness a little, indeed, in troubled times, it was rare to have a subsistence business, how could this ancestral business be closed casually, and Bai Yushan left all the jade, which also protected the jade inheritance of our country, as for whether those domestic bigwigs were smuggling again, this really can't be difficult to force people.
"Lu apologized, please ask the girl to solve my doubts."
"Refreshing! This time, Lu Dong's family came over, and my father had heard about it, but after all, it was not his own craft, so he didn't care. However, two years ago, two Japanese led a team to Lushan for archaeology, and the result was that they died there in vain, and my father knew this very well. Those two people were Kumaichi Murakami and Ao-an Aoi of the Institute of Archaeology, both PhDs from Tokyo Imperial University. And my father saw their corpses, too, as if they had been eaten by bugs and wild beasts, as you described. ”
"I knew about this in Lushan, and the chief was not tracked down in the future, is there a story later?"
It turned out that after the incident, the Sino-Japanese Institute of Archaeology reported the matter to the Tokyo headquarters, and they attached great importance to it and demanded that the secrets in Lushan be investigated.
In the eyes of the Japanese, those who died must have been killed by some supernatural force that could manipulate living beings, and if this became a weapon of the Great Japanese Empire, it would be a revolutionary increase in military strength. Moreover, in order to control China, it is necessary to destroy the minds of the Chinese, and the Chinese are the most superstitious about ghosts and gods, and if they can use this power to claim themselves as God's kingdom, then most of the control of the Chinese people's hearts will be successful.
As a result, the Tokyo Headquarters ordered that the excavation and information collection of Lushan should not be stopped, and that the treasures and supernatural powers of Lushan must be verified from all aspects.
"And what clues did they find?"
"That's why you just told my father about that poem and landscape painting, and my father decided to help you. Last year, the Japanese got a gold stone similar to yours, but it was a bronze cast, and the content on it was almost exactly the same as what you said, except that there was one difference, that is, next to the peak of Wangyun Song, it should be nearby, there was an extra mountain, and there was a pavilion on it. According to my father's secret access to documents, he came from a tomb in the late Ming Dynasty in the village of Keli in Wuhu, which was the hiding place of the descendants of Blue Jade. ”
"Lanyu still has descendants? The history of the Ming Dynasty records very clearly, how could anyone escape from the three tribes? ”
"Maybe Tiandao has eyes, Mrs. Hu, one of his three wives, fled with her two sons, and besides, there is a strange custom in that village, the living people are all surnamed Hu, but the dead are changed to blue. Let's not worry about whether they are descendants of Lan Yu or not, at least, this bronze artifact obtained by the Japanese is exactly the same as yours. ”
There is an extra mountain, and there is a pavilion on it, which is undoubtedly the rest of the peak, but this extra clue still can't indicate the location of the treasure, the old man knows that he has looked carefully on the rest of the peak, and there is nothing special about it, but as guessed, the word tablet is indeed connected with the treasure.
So, the old man told Bai Liu everything he had observed and knew, and she also felt confused, but now it is certain that the treasure must be related to the blue jade, and it must be in the Bay of the Dead, but you can't dig up all the Bay of the Dead, right?
"Yes! Absolutely! ”
Bai Liu nodded heavily.
"The Japanese plan to force their way into Dead Man's Bay in a week's time, where they will carry out a thorough excavation! The order given by the Tokyo headquarters is that it is better to dig up the mountain than to let go of any clues! ”
"Since the girl has told me such a confidential matter, if you have any requirements, just ask, although Lu is not a patriot, he still has a small strength!"
At this time, it was noisy outside the courtyard, Bai Yushan pushed the door in, hurriedly untied the old man, and then made a deep series.
"I have wronged the Lu Dong family, the people who were sent there quickly came to report, it is indeed as Lu Dong said, it is all eaten by insects and beasts, and the corpses are now slowly transported back, I hurried over to compensate the Lu Dong family."
"Bai Dart has said it all, Ling Yan has already told me all the reasons, and also solved the doubts in my heart, but the little brother wants to know what the next step of Bai Dart is?"
"Lu Dongjia, I want to know, are you sure you can find the real location?"
The old man only learned today that Bai Yushan was also a member of the Sino-Japanese Institute of Archaeology, although Bai Liu showed righteousness and awe-inspiring and told himself confidential information, but, the rivers and lakes were sinister, what Bai Yushan planned in his heart, after all, he didn't know, so he hid his speculation about the moon.
"I'm not sure, it's foggy at night, and to be honest, I can't see the terrain around me clearly, so I want to go back to see it again at noon when the fog clears. I just don't know how the white darts always stop the Japanese from digging in the mountains? ”
"Although the contemptible person is just a businessman, he has lived in the Northeast for a long time and still has connections. I have already contacted Zhang Dashuai, he has always been strong and patriotic, and replied that once the treasure is found, he will send an army to meet it, and all of them will be transported away, and now this army is ten miles east of Beizhen in the name of exercises. ”
"That's naturally the best, with Lao Baidart."
"I don't know if Lu Dongjia needs to send someone to help him when he enters the mountain again this time?"
"Thank you for the kindness of Mr. Bai Dart, but the fox general said, don't bother others, I think, it's better for me to go by myself."
So the two agreed that within five days, Bai Yushan sent his men to hide at the entrance of Lushan, and the old man explored alone, and if he succeeded, he would send Huo Longchong to inform his subordinates, and he led the army to rush to the starry night. If there is no news for five days, it is up to fate.
Bai Yushan held the old man's hand tightly and told him to pay attention to safety, even if he didn't succeed within five days, he must return safely, as long as the person is alive, he will have more clues than the Japanese, which is the most important thing.
When they were about to part, the old man suddenly thought of something.
"Mr. Bai Dart, before Chuncheng died, I asked me to bring all the money under the bed to my hometown in Henan, and do my part for the villagers, I don't know if Mr. Bai Dart will allow it."
"Since it is the will of Chuncheng, and he entrusted the Lu Dong family, and also invited the Lu Dong family to go to his wish, he has not lived in my house since the year before last, just behind the inn where you live, I have a key here, you can go."
"By the way, I remembered that Lu Dongjia said that he came to Beizhen this time in the name of opening a private school, and they all said that he would do a full set of dramas, so he might as well use the small courtyard in Spring City as a private school venue, and say to the outside world that I will rent it from you, so that it will not make people suspicious!"
"Thanks, thanks, then the day after tomorrow, set off on time."
Leaving the Bai family, the old man ran all the way to the small courtyard of Baichun City, opened the door, and looked at the small and simple courtyard, if he really wanted to open a private school, this was definitely a suitable place. Pushing open the bedroom, there was indeed a small box under the bed, and when I opened it, it was full of silver dollars and gems, and there was a letter pressed underneath.
The old man took out the letter, thinking that Bai Chuncheng must have explained, so he read it slowly.
"Benefactor, Bai thank you for abiding by the agreement, and I can't repay your high righteousness in the future. Bai, the hometown of Guannai, misses every day, and prays for the soul to return to life. Lock longing and suppressing homesickness, thirty years in the Northeast, people finally hope that the fallen leaves will return to their roots, and the ancestors are also easy to talk in the palace of the king of Yama. Thank! Thank! "The rest is the address information of my hometown.
It is estimated that Bai Chuncheng also learned about the danger of Dead Man's Bay from Bai Yushan, so he made a will early, probably worried that the nostalgia would be known by Bai Yushan and hurt his adoptive father's heart, so he chose to let the old man fulfill his wish. Looking at the five big and three thick Chinese characters, they actually gave birth to such a delicate mind. Alas, it's really a strong man who will never return, and he just hopes that the wandering soul will return to his hometown!
It's not too early, the old man left the money first, and then took the letter with him on his body, after all, it seems that Bai Chuncheng is unwilling to chill Bai Yushan's heart, and Bai Yushan will definitely come over to pack up the relics for his righteous son in the past few days, if he sees it, it is not good.
Back at the inn, the old man took a comfortable bath, and then prepared to sleep, when he undressed, the letter fell out again, he was stunned, so he went downstairs to ask for some wine and food, as a tribute, and wanted to pay tribute to Baichun City.
So he took out the letter, read it carefully again, and then said respectfully.
"Brother Bai, don't read it, the entrustment has been written down, and you will definitely fulfill your wish."
However, this time I read the letter and had another feeling, that is, it was wordy, really wordy, and it felt too cumbersome and procrastinating to say things like homesickness over and over again, and it seemed that there was a lot to say, but there was nothing else to see except homesickness.
The old man searched for Bai Chuncheng's various actions in his mind, and suddenly remembered Bai Chuncheng's anxious appearance before entering the mountains and forests, and remembered that after giving the poem to Bai Chuncheng, he immediately interpreted the original text of the poem in the order of secret words such as Tibetan poems.
It is said that thinking determines what you see, so thinking about it, the old man suddenly found that there was a problem here, so he quickly wrote it down with a pen, and it turned out that the secret language was the beginning of each sentence.
"It's about the day, and it's even more known to the East."
