(Orphan Girl)

My name is Danzhu, and I am an orphan who was abandoned in front of the gate of the orphanage when I was about two months old.

It was a cold morning, the doorkeeper got up early to open the door, and found a small bamboo basket in front of the door, covered with a small pink quilt, and when the small quilt was opened, there was a female doll with big eyes, looking around without fear. That little girl is me! I don't know why my biological parents refused to want me, maybe it's because I'm a girl!

At first, the staff at the welfare home thought that I was a child with physical problems, but when I was sent to the hospital for a check-up, I found that there was no problem and I was very healthy. In this way, when I was 3 years old in the welfare center, I was adopted by an old professor couple who had no children and no daughters, and gave them my current name - Kim Danzhu (a bit of Tuha). The two old professors have been living in Beijing for a long time, and then came to Xinjiang for work reasons, and we have lived in this beautiful place until now.

In the blink of an eye, I was 24 years old, and at the same time I graduated from college — I was also unemployed. The other classmates all went to Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou to struggle, but my adoptive parents are in their 70s this year, and their parents' kindness for more than 20 years has to be repaid.

So I resolutely returned to Xinjiang, a place where I had lived for many years! I majored in finance and economics in college, but my adoptive parents had been retired for many years and had no connections, so it was impossible to arrange a job through relationships.

I took the civil service exam once, and the result was also unsatisfactory. In the end, through the relationship of one of his father's students, he managed the accounts in an antique jade shop, 2,500 yuan a month.

I always lament that I have lowered the per capita salary of the people of Xinjiang, but fortunately I like this job very much. Because my parents are both professors of archaeology, I am very interested in antique jade and the like.

When I first chose my major, I also wanted to apply for archaeology, but in the end I gave up under the persuasion of my father. Dad thinks that in today's society, it is too unpopular for a girl to study archaeology, and she will definitely not find a good in-law.

Although he and his mother have worked all their lives, it is only after he has worked all his life that he knows the hardships involved, and he does not agree with his baby daughter in anything, and then goes his own way. It's better to study finance and economics, and you can have something to eat at any time!

In this way, I worked as an accountant and cashier in this small antique jade shop. By the way, I forgot to introduce the town where I live! Don't look small, but it has a long history - Xinjiang Manas. And it specializes in jasper!

There may not be many people who have heard of the jasper of Manas, but when it comes to the jade mountains in the Forbidden City, they are famous far and wide, and they are all carved from Manas jasper. I am quite familiar with my father's inheritance in the study of jade, so I don't just do accounts in the shop. Occasionally, someone comes to buy something, and I help to take a look.

This afternoon, a hurried person walked in, he said that he was going to sell a piece of ancient jade, the boss happened to be absent at that time, I came out to help see, only to see that this piece of jade was green all over, the tentacles were warm, and the carving was a dragon pattern.

It looks like a good thing, but isn't it really a good thing...... No one can say well. The clerk didn't dare to be the master of the collection, asked the price, and the people who came didn't want much, as long as 2,000 yuan, saying that there was an urgent need so he was in a hurry to shoot.

The clerk called the boss, and the boss said that he couldn't come back because of something. If you look good, you can accept it, and if you are not sure, forget it. I felt amused when I heard this, and thought to myself: "This old fox, I'm afraid that I don't want to lose if it's fake, and I can't do any work these days!" ”

So he said to the clerk, "How about it, do you think you can accept it?" ”

The clerk said helplessly: "I don't dare to accept it, the snuff bottle is fake, I will pay 500 yuan, I only have a few 500 yuan a month!" ”

When the man saw this situation, he was very anxious and asked: "Do you want to, if you don't want me, I'll go to the next house, this thing is a good thing, this price is really worth it!" ”

But the clerk could only say to him: "I'm sorry, I can't be the master without the boss." ”

The man turned around and was about to leave, and when I saw that this man was leaving, I hurriedly stopped him. With the knowledge my dad taught me and my eyesight, I knew it was a good thing at a glance. 2,000 yuan is too valuable, if you put 20,000 yuan in the store, it is it.

So I stopped the man and said, "My father is going to have a birthday, he likes jade very much, and I can't afford to buy expensive things, since you want 2,000, then sell it to me, no matter what the thing is, it's a heart." ”

I said this to the clerk, to tell her that you don't want it, I want it, it doesn't matter if it's true or not, so I accepted this piece of jade.

When the boss came back after work, he didn't forget to ask the clerk if he had accepted the jade?

But the clerk was not stupid, he just said: If you can't see it, you don't dare to ask for it, and the man leaves.

When I got home, I took out the jade pendant and showed it to my father, and he looked at it and asked where the jade pendant came from, so I told my father about the afternoon.

He took the jade in his hand and looked at it repeatedly, then said to me, "Zhuzhu, have you carefully looked at the pattern on this jade?" ”

I said suspiciously: "Look, it's a dragon, and it still has a bead in its mouth, and its carving skills are not bad!" ”

Dad said with a determined face: "This is not a dragon, but I can't tell what it is now, I still have to check the records in the book." As he spoke, he took a picture of the jade pendant with his mobile phone.

Then he said to me: "Jade, you are so good to collect it, no matter what the origin is, this pattern is a jewel on it, not just with you, Tibetan jade is also about fate." ”

I took the jade and looked at it and said to my father, "This is what I want to give you, or you should keep it." ”

Dad smiled and said, "It's related to you, you can take it first!" Shrewd. ”

I thought about it, so I had to take the jade.

At night, I lay alone in bed, carefully examining this piece of jade under the lamp. The more I watched it, the more I liked it, so I tied it tightly around my neck with a red thread.

As soon as I put on this piece of jade, an inexplicable feeling came to my heart, both familiar and unfamiliar...... It's as if this piece of jade was mine.

"Whatever, I really like it anyway." I didn't care about it, I fell asleep thinking about it......

Then I had a dream in which there were so many people that I didn't know any of them. There was one of them, I never saw his face, I didn't know what he looked like. But I have a very special feeling about him, just like that piece of jade, both familiar and strange......

The next day, I commuted to work normally, but something happened on the way home in the evening. I walk the way I walk every day, but it always feels a little different from the way I walk every day. But what's the difference? I can't say it myself. I had no choice but to speed up my pace and get home quickly and be fine.

Suddenly, a black shadow burst out from under the car in front of me. It really scared the hell out of me! When I looked at it, it was a black cat, and I dared to pat my little heart, but fortunately I wasn't scared! But what happened in the next second really frightened my little heart, and I saw the black cat jump up, jump into a car next to me and look at me, it stared at me, and I was frozen there. I can't move my eyes when I want to, and I can't take a step away from my feet.

I felt as if I had been fixed there for a century, when suddenly a voice asked me, "How can the jade pendant be on you?" Who are you? ”

Oh, my God!!! The black cat opened its mouth and spoke like a human! I was dizzy...... I can't say a word when I'm scared, and I always feel that I'm crazy.

As a result, the black cat asked again impatiently: "Ask you, how can the jade pendant be on you?" Who are you? ”

I resisted the urge to faint and said, "Are you talking?" Talk to me? ”

"Nonsense, there are other people on this street, I feel the location of the jade pendant, and I have already set up an enchantment here to wait for you!" The black cat said proudly.

"What kind of monster are you? What are you waiting for me? I'm an ordinary person, not a Tang monk, why are you waiting for me? "I'm a little incoherent.

The black cat saw that it scared me like this bear, so he had to sigh and say gently: "Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you." I'm not a bad person. Oh no, I'm not a bad cat. I'm a civet cat, the first demon protector! It was the jade pendant on your body that summoned me, how did the jade on your body come from? ”

"I bought it." I answered truthfully, but I wondered if I was crazy, so I hallucinated? Do you want to run away?

"Don't you want to run, I set up an enchantment on this street, you can't run away! My master wants to see you, come with me! It's okay, after all, you have been an ordinary person for more than 20 years, and you will be a little unacceptable at first, but you will get used to it later. The black cat soothed me and said.

"Who is your master, and I don't know him, what do you see me doing?" I was so scared that I really didn't want to go.

But the black cat didn't give me a choice, and only said: "Say too much about righteousness, go you!" ”

It was dark in front of my eyes, and when I opened my eyes, I was in a forest. It's a cold winter now, but the woods are full of spring, and a long path is at your feet.

The black cat stood on the ground in front of me and said, "Don't look around, follow me." So the man and the cat walked slowly along the mountain path.

As I walked, I saw a small cabin appear in front of me. The black cat walked to the wooden house and stopped, and said respectfully to the inside: "Mother-in-law, I found the person and brought it to you." ”

There was a "squeak" and the door of the wooden house opened, and there was a black hole inside. An old voice came from within: "Come in." ”

At this time, I really didn't want to go in, but the black cat said to me, "Don't be afraid, go in, my master has something to say to you, and she won't hurt you." ”

If I came, I had to go in timidly. The room was dimly lit, and the only light came from the candles on the table. On an old wooden chair sat a very old lady beside the table.

She smiled and beckoned to me to come and sit down. I walked up to the old lady and sat down slowly.

He took a deep breath and suppressed his shock, and then said to the old lady: "Grandma, are you looking for the wrong person, I am an ordinary person, and I don't know you, what do you say you are looking for me?" My family doesn't have much money! ”

The old lady smiled and said in a calm tone: "Girl, don't be afraid, I won't hurt you." I'm here for a reason, and you'll know if you hear me tell my story. ”

I had no choice but to say, "Okay, you say I'll listen." ”

The old lady slowly talked about her past......
