Chapter 6: The Mystery of the Ancient Lock

"Longpan sun and moon buckle?"

Dad walked over, took the dragon pan sun and moon buckle he said, checked it several times, and made sure that there was nothing wrong before he sighed lightly, and said in a low voice: "This thing I found in the place where your grandfather disappeared this time, and it is indirectly related to what your grandmother said, I think, this thing may be of some use to find your grandfather." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

As soon as I heard that it was related to my grandfather, I asked, "Have you seen this thing before?" How else would you know its name? I have heard the past told by my grandmother many times, but I have never heard her mention that there is this "dragon pan sun and moon buckle." ”

Dad sat next to me, gently stroked this small metal object after a long time, and sighed: "Since I was sensible, I can't bear your grandmother to be so sad, so I vowed to fulfill this reunion dream for your grandmother, since that time, I have focused on reading some history, cultural relics identification books, this thing appeared in the cultural relics Tongjian, because it is composed of two parts of the figure similar to the sun and the moon, the pattern on both sides of the above is a dragon, so it was named "dragon Pan sun and moon buckle", as you can see, The oval thing in our hands is only half of the sun and moon buckle of Longpan, commonly known as the sun buckle, and half of the moon buckle is the moon buckle. Your grandmother didn't mention it directly, but I found it in the skull of a black bear! ”

I squinted my eyes and looked at the dragon pan sun and moon buckle in his hand, only to see that the sun buckle covered with rust, there are some faintly protruding patterns, it seems to be really a dragon's shape, but unfortunately only half of the body, and half of it should be on the so-called moon buckle, I asked: "Is there any mention in the book that this thing is for?" ”

Dad nodded and said, "It is said to be an effect similar to that of a combined key, just like the two keys in a combined key, they must be combined into one to open a special lock." This dragon pan sun and moon buckle is said to be the emperor of the apocalypse Zhu by the school himself, he originally wanted to design a wooden cabinet for himself to make a unique secret lock, but considering the degree of wear, or the choice of metal as a material, and later ordered skilled craftsmen to create it, due to the precision of the design, and Chongzhen Emperor Zhu by the inspection of the throne, these things were burned, so, the wooden cabinet in the lock cylinder design skills have not been retained, this dragon pan sun and moon buckle has become a key without a lock of art. ”

I sighed: "It turned out to be something made by Emperor Xizong, and it seems that it is not an exaggeration for people to nickname him 'Carpenter Emperor Xiao Luban'." It's just ......" I paused slightly, thought of a question, I didn't know whether to say it or not, and after seeing my father nod, I continued: "Since there is a key and no lock, what use can this thing be for in addition to some antique value?" I really can't figure out what its existence has to do with my grandfather's disappearance. ”

Dad shook his head and said slowly: "Existence is reasonable, if it doesn't work, how can this thing appear in that kind of old forest of Huangshan?" It's impossible for a bear to put it in its mouth for no reason, right? Someone must have been eaten by a black bear when he escaped with the dragon pan sun and moon buckle, and this little thing accidentally got stuck in his teeth or throat, I still believe that this key must have an indirect connection with your grandfather. ”

I thought about it carefully, so I didn't want to say anything, even if this thing was just an ordinary antique, and it had nothing to do with Grandpa's disappearance, I couldn't point it out clearly, Dad had been looking for so many years and finally found such a clue that made him feel valuable, so it would be good to leave him a thought.

So, at that moment, I motioned to him to put away the dragon pan sun and moon buckle, and discussed: "Dad, you finally came back once, and you finally didn't meet your mother back, or let's go out and be chic?" ”

Dad's brows jumped slightly, and he glanced at me and said, "When did you learn these things?" If you don't learn well at a young age, you can learn these useless things. ”

As soon as I heard it, I knew that he had misunderstood, so I couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, and quickly explained: "I mean let's go to dinner, press a motorcycle, where do you want to go?" You've been in that place where birds don't poop for so long, don't you want to eat something good? Rejuvenate your muscles and bones? I'm thinking about you. If you don't want to go, then let's fry some peanuts and drink some bars. ”

When Dad heard that this was the case, he quickly packed up his things and said: "Lao Tzu's mouth is about to fade out of a bird, you hurry up and prepare, let's go out and be chic!" ”

The early summer nights are lively, and in the countryside, there will always be a group of village names carrying small horses to sit together and talk; In the city, nightlife is an essential activity. When night fell, the lights were on, the whole city was brightly lit, and my father drove me to find a place to eat in his broken cross-country car that had accompanied him to the mountains and countryside for many years.

I proposed, "There's a new restaurant on the left corner in front of you, and it's doing pretty good business." ”

Dad directly vetoed: "It's expensive and not enjoyable, what's the point?" ”

"And where do you want to eat?" I asked helplessly.

"Isn't there a snack street in the Palace of Culture? It's nice to have a barbecue there. Dad swallowed his saliva and said: "Every time I come back, I want to go there to eat something, your mother always says that those things are not clean, and every time I don't make it, I finally seize this opportunity, why don't we go and have a good time?" ”

I was very helpless and sad to hear it, over the years, in addition to helping some friends who do antique business to identify antiques, my father has been running around to find his grandfather, such as eating barbecue at a roadside stall, it is not easy for him.

When we came to a barbecue stall, our father and son found a vacant seat and sat down, and my father beckoned, "Boss, come here." ”

I saw an uncle standing by the barbecue grill who was busy and replied loudly: "Hey, wait a minute, you two." After speaking, he turned his head and shouted to the side: "Ya'er, go and greet the guests." ”

I saw a girl who was busy wiping the table raised her head when she heard this, and while responding, she raised her arm to wipe the beads of sweat on her forehead.

The girl was dressed very plainly, wearing a white T-shirt on her upper body, a pair of washed white jeans and a pair of canvas shoes, although she did not wear makeup, but her big eyes, long eyelashes, lovely Yao nose, small thin lips, and the thin melon seed face looked unusually delicate.

She walked over and smiled reluctantly, "What do you want to eat?" ”

I was about to speak, but my father waved his hand and said arrogantly, "Whatever, you can watch it." ”

This can make the girl embarrassed, more or less, what she likes to eat and what she doesn't like to eat, she doesn't know this, if the acquaintance is fine, the key is that she doesn't know anything about us, but she doesn't dare to make random decisions.

I saw her standing there hesitating, and then I helped her and said, "Grill two fish, thirty skewers of crispy bones, fifty skewers of small meat skewers, and a few skewers of leek enoki mushrooms, and eight more bottles...... No, no, a piece of beer. ”

As soon as I said this, she didn't have any worries, and smiled at me sincerely: "Wait a minute, you two will come up in a moment." ”

I realized that she still had two dimples when she laughed, which was very cute, and I couldn't help but be a little dazed.

Dad said, "Let's start with beer and a stack of edamame and a stack of peanuts." ”

The girl nodded and turned to leave.

Dad suddenly slapped me on the head and said, "Why are you in a daze? ”

Only then did I react and smiled embarrassedly: "It's nothing." ”

Dad turned his head to look at the girl who was busy working, then looked at me, nodded knowingly, and asked in a low voice, "Do you like it?" ”

"What?" I was a little puzzled by his headless words.

"That girl." Dad pouted at her back, "She's beautiful and so diligent, if you really like Dad, I don't have an opinion anyway." ”

I was afraid that people would hear it, so I frowned and whispered: "Dad, what are you talking nonsense, if you want to say like this, I like all the women on the street?" You're thinking too much. ”

"Really?" Dad smiled, and the girl came with a basket of beer, and I quickly winked at him and motioned him to stop talking.

Dad nodded to me, and by this time the girl had already put a basket of beer under the table, took two bottles, and said, "How many bottles?" ”

"Let's open two bottles first." My dad smiled and said to me, "You can drink some too." ”

I hurriedly waved my hand and said, "You don't know that I can't drink?" Besides, let's both drink, who will drive later? ”

Dad didn't insist, nodded and said with the beer bottle in the girl's hand: "Wait a minute, you drive slower, the brakes seem to be a little ineffective." ”

I was speechless.

Dad took a sip of wine and said to the girl who was about to leave, "Little girl, what do you call it?" ”

The girl was slightly stunned at first, and her father knew that she had misunderstood, so he hurriedly said, "I asked for my son." ”

This...... Is this still my own father?

The girl glanced at me, her cheeks were slightly red, I thought she would walk away angrily, who knew that she actually replied: "My name is Yang Juan." ”

After that, she smiled shyly and was about to leave, but her father seized the opportunity to ask: "What is the phone number, you and my son are both young people, and it is a good thing to have multiple friends." ”

Although I was also full of expectations, I looked at the somewhat embarrassed appearance of the people and smiled at her: "My dad drank too much, don't be surprised." After saying that, I glared at my father, who looked at the beer that he had only taken two sips of, and said to himself, "Too much to drink? ”

At this moment, a loud shout came from the adjacent table: "Hey, beauty, why can't Lao Tzu's meat skewers be served?" ”

"Oh, come on, come on." Yang Juan was taken aback and hurriedly walked towards the middle-aged man who was grilling skewers.

Dad was a little upset, glanced back at them, and then continued drinking. I also glanced at the lead table, and I saw six shirtless young men drinking and bragging, and by looking at their tattoos and exaggerated hairstyles, I knew that these people were mixed society.

The uncle handed Yang Juan a plate with meat skewers, kicked her, and scolded something in a low voice.

Yang Juan lowered her head and brought the meat skewers to the table of the gangsters, and was about to turn to leave, when one of the fat men with a dog chain around her neck slapped her on the buttocks, and then a group of thugs burst into laughter.

Yang Juan felt ashamed and indignant, but she didn't dare to accuse, and glanced at them angrily.

The group laughed even more happily, and the fat man in the dog chain picked his chin and scolded and laughed: "The horse is a bastard, it looks like he is still a stubborn hoof, look at it, and then I will go with my brothers tonight." ”

The middle-aged uncle who was grilling skewers saw that things were not good, so he quickly put down the work in his hand and ran over and said with a smile: "Brothers, the little girl is not sensible, don't worry about her." After speaking, he whispered to Yang Juan: "Don't apologize to them yet!" ”

Yang Juan was extremely aggrieved, but more angry, gritted her teeth and kept silent, her delicate body trembled slightly.

"What's the use of apologizing to a few of their little butts? Don't be afraid, little girl. At this time, my father spoke.

Nima, what kind of business is this in charge of Dad, when he says this, he will definitely make things bigger, and I can't help but have a headache. Although I also want to help the helpless girl, I can't, because even if this matter is resolved, when we leave, Yang Juan and the person who seems to be her father will definitely be unlucky.

Those gangsters are usually the masters who walk sideways, how can they encounter this kind of thing, they are immediately unhappy, a few people immediately walked behind the father with beer bottles, and the fat man in the dog chain shouted: "You are a looking for waste, right?" ”

I'm a little nervous, after all, there are many families, and it's still a group of gangsters who don't have a sense of proportion, and if I start to do it, I will inevitably suffer a little, and I regret that I came out with my father.

Dad gave me a calm look, and said in a cold and provocative voice: "If you have the ability, you can try it?" ”

"Damn, Brother Chong, abolish him."

"Yes, it's useless."

A group of people immediately shouted with emotion.

The fat man in the dog chain is probably also a strong man, and as soon as he gritted his teeth and lifted the beer bottle that had not been opened, he smashed it on the back of my father's head.

Damn, it's really a group of boys who are not light or heavy! I was startled, and it was too late to remind my dad out loud. Dad suddenly stood up and turned around and grabbed it, directly clasped the fat man's wrist in the dog chain, and sent it forward, the fat man lost his strength in an instant, and the wine bottle bloomed directly on his forehead.

The audience was in an uproar, and some onlookers even applauded.

"it, brothers!"

The fat man in the dog chain crouched on the ground and cried out over his forehead, which was covered with beer and blood.

Dad Yun repeated lightly: "If you have the ability, you can try it?" ”
