Chapter Eighty-Seven: Sketches

The junior brother couldn't stand his slow and unswallowing appearance, he was anxious enough, and he was expecting this little old man to solve the eternal mystery of the sudden disappearance of the Guge people, who knew what he did, at this juncture, this little old man actually fainted, and he must have asked three questions about what happened later. I saw that my junior brother seemed to be unable to hold back when he wanted to speak, so he hurriedly stopped him with his eyes and made him patient, maybe there will be a future after 1.75 meters.

At this time, we must not rush him, firstly, it is not in line with our current identity as a brother to him, as if we only care about his bizarre experience and do not care about him; Second, he said that he was delirious at the time, and his memory was intermittent, and if he really couldn't remember, it would be useless for us to urge him.

Although the junior brother was unwilling, he still listened to me, pursed his mouth, swallowed a basket of words that were held in his throat, and instead stared at 1.75 meters with me. The little old man had been hanging his head since he had just finished speaking, like a frosted eggplant, sighing one after another, and shaking his head incessantly at this moment. Looking at this scene, my heart has cooled a lot, and it seems that he really doesn't know.

My brother and I looked at each other for a while, and told me with a lip service that I should just ask, or when will this have to wait? I shook my head slightly, it would be a bit too unrighteous to care about the Guge Dynasty at this time. Thinking about it, I patted 1.75 meters on the shoulder, wanting to give him a little comfort, at this time, 1.75 meters suddenly straightened his back, looked at us and said: "When I open my eyes again, I have returned to Xishengtang Grandma Mountain, as for how I went back, no one can say." The only thing that can be said clearly is that we are a group of ten people, and now only me and Xiaolin are back. But there are two young intellectuals left behind in the pond, who are about the same age as Xiaolin, but their minds are completely lacking in Xiaolin's mature and sophisticated ways. As a representative, Kobayashi wrote a written report to the above, and a week later he was picked up by a car sent by someone from their organization. ”

"At that time, I didn't know Chinese characters, and I didn't know how Kobayashi and their organization reported this matter, but I think he must have not mentioned me in the report, or deliberately weakened my role in the whole incident, otherwise, I would not have been safe at that time. When this incident first started, it actually didn't have a great impact on me, I was still a teenager at the time, jumping up and down with Uncle Chen and his group all day long, I also experienced a lot of scenes of strong winds and waves, and an earthquake didn't scare me at all, but there was one person who I couldn't forget for a long time, she often appeared in my dreams, wearing an army green dress and a piercing red armband on her arm...... As for the others, to be honest, I don't have much affection for them, and I even dislike the two Red Guards who bullied my grandfather. ”

"Time has passed until the eighties, the end of ****, the whole of China blowing a spring breeze of reform and opening up, the restoration of the political system, the resumption of production, the restoration of schools, even some of the usual destroyed historical and cultural sites have begun to be protected and valued by the state, the whole of China, under the leadership of Comrade Xiaoping, began to embark on a socialist market economy with Chinese characteristics. It was with this spring breeze that Uncle Chen decided to expand his business to the more extensive Central Plains region. What I never expected was that in the second week of Uncle Chen's departure, an archaeological team came to Xishengtang, and one of the archaeologists who led the team was Xiaolin back then. ”

"These are all things that I saw in my grandfather's diary when I was sorting through his belongings after his death. After arriving in Xishengtang, Kobayashi and his party first went to visit my grandfather, and when they learned that I had left Tibet, Kobayashi tried to persuade my grandfather to be their guide. Back then, we all handled the matter by Xiao Lin alone, and we didn't make any explanation to the outside world, and the impression left by the Red Guards on Tangzi was extremely unfriendly, so everyone didn't care about where they went at all, more things are better than less things, so I naturally didn't say anything. So it was the first time that my grandfather heard about our 'heroic deeds', and he was so angry that he immediately announced that he would cut off the relationship with my grandfather and grandson. ”

"I have to admit that Xiaolin is a very urban person, he became an archaeological expert at a young age, independently led an archaeological team to work on the field, and fooled my grandfather to be a guide for them when he was a lot older. Grandpa wrote in his diary that he was finally moved by Kobayashi's bravery and righteousness, so he decided to break the oath he had made. Early the next morning, Grandpa and his party set off, and the journey was surprisingly smooth, almost on the third day, as soon as they opened their eyes, they arrived at the earthen forest in front of the dynasty ruins. After so many years, that piece of earth forest is still towering and splendid, as if the history of this world has nothing to do with it, and it only guards its own secrets. What surprised me even more was that the palace destroyed by the earthquake was still intact in front of everyone's eyes, and my grandfather even used two full pages to describe its appearance, which was absolutely exactly the same as the one we saw back then. ”

"I resisted my curiosity and looked back, and the mystery was always to be revealed. Who knows, I flipped back, damn it, the next few pages were torn off! At that time, I felt like a dog day poured a basin of ice water on my face...... "When I said this, my junior brother suddenly interjected: "Damn, I'm damn called being poured a basin of cold water!" I glared at him and told him not to interrupt and listen to 1.75 meters and then go on.

One meter seventy-five said: "I pressed the taste in my heart, and then looked back, and found that there was only a hand-drawn sketch left, with many stairs on it, and I counted them roughly, at least no less than a hundred." And I found that the steps of these stairs are all lotus-shaped, although the painting is very rough, but I recognize my grandfather's handwriting, and I know what it means, and there is a secret door connected to the end of each set of stairs, which makes me more sure that this palace is the one destroyed in the earthquake that year, but I don't know why, it actually repaired itself! With a full stomach full of doubts, I carefully studied this sketch of my grandfather again, in my impression, it seems that I have not seen so many stairs, and there are only three secret doors, and grandpa marked an arrow in the middle of each staircase, in different directions, some to the left, some to the right, as if these stairs will move. ”

"I carefully recalled the situation back then, I did change directions a few times in the middle, and they were all after passing through the secret door, does grandpa mean that these secret doors are like a fork in the road, from here on, different choices represent different roads? So is this choice random, or is it artificial? How to crack these secret doors? How did Kobayashi find out about this in the first place? Also, what exactly is that thing I touched at the end of the corridor? Why is Kobayashi's rope tied to it? Since Grandpa deliberately concealed it, why did he leave this sketch alone, because it didn't provide any valuable clues, or was it the opposite, it was the core part of solving these mysteries, and Grandpa was reluctant to let the secret be buried, so he left this clue for me? Just when I was thinking dizzy, I suddenly flipped through the sketch and found that there were words behind it! ”
