For the first time, Liu Fan believed that in addition to human beings, there were ghosts and gods in this world. When I was a child in the countryside, I didn't see the sun at both ends of school in winter, and I often walked alone through the dark country roads with stars and moons, and what I was most afraid of Liu Fan at that time was to meet the lantern ghost, and I couldn't see my body, but I just picked a lantern on my middle finger and slowly floated towards you, and I trembled every time I thought about it. But from elementary school to junior high school, Liu Fan has never encountered it.

After receiving countless Marxist ideological education during college and after work, the vivid ghost stories that his father poured into him have gradually faded into his memory. My father was a traditional rural idealist who firmly believed in the existence of ghosts and gods in the world, but he did not expect that in the fifth year after joining the work, he personally verified the "doctrine of his father".

At two o'clock in the afternoon on January 1, Liu Fan felt that he must have experienced a time tunnel and a soul possession.

It is rare to steal a day of leisure, Liu Fan and a few college classmates went to the main peak of Qilian Mountain - Gangshika, made an appointment to see the colorful ice falls, drove for more than two hours, and arrived at the destination It was already noon, along the way Liu Fan was drowsy, busy making up for the sleep owed by the year-end accounts last night.

As soon as you get off the bus, the magnificent snow peaks of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in winter suddenly crash into your eyes, from far to near, from high to low, the snow peaks that have not melted for many years, the bare rocks under the snow peaks, the alpine meadows and the ice blocks that are occasionally mixed in, the ice explosions hanging on the huge mountain walls near the noon sun shine brightly, and the earthy yellow rocks, the dry moss beside the mountain stream at the foot of the ice falls, and the large ridges covered with vegetation together constitute a colorful world of light.

After a short break, everyone started to climb all the way, after walking through the short concrete slopes laid at the ski base, and continuing up the rugged path.

The sky is as blue as the sea, although the sun shines directly, but the wind in the mountains in winter is still cold, the fresh air with the smell of earth seeps directly into people's hearts and lungs, the world is so wide, the hustle and bustle of the world is far away, Liu Fanzhi feels that he has come to another world, yes, his feeling is about to be fulfilled.

Liu Fan is tall and burly, and he has never left behind the habit of exercising in college, and his figure is still strong and well-proportioned, unlike the boss, third, and fifth in the same dormitory. Therefore, Liu Fan has always been the leader of the team, and from time to time there is a broken gong voice in his ears: "Sixth brother, slow down, wait for the brothers."

The cement boxes of the city imprisoned people's imagination, and everything in the mountains was fresh and interesting in front of everyone, and the pheasants that could be seen everywhere, the flocks of stone sheep on the cliffs in the distance, the gray squirrels and hares that flashed by, made everyone exclaim one after another from time to time.

Liu Fan's attention is not on these, he likes all kinds of large and small stones, especially all kinds of meteorites, there are several pieces in the dormitory, according to senior players, these are asteroid meteorites, too many, the strange ones are moon meteorites, and even Mars, Mercury meteorites .......

The vast land of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is a paradise for stone lovers to find meteorites, Liu Fan as long as he has time, he and a few fox friends and dog friends to join the stone search army in the wild, although there has been nothing to gain in the past few years, but has been happy to do it.

After nearly an hour of climbing, it is estimated that the altitude is close to about four thousand meters, and the team of four or five people is now only the old seven far away, and the other brothers are nowhere to be seen.

A huge glacier stretched in front of him, the rugged path stretched to the right, the left slope was steep, and in the distance was a prominent ridge, curiosity drove Liu Fan to climb the steep slope to the left with difficulty, and it took nearly ten minutes to climb to the ridge.

Lao Qi shouted from behind: "Lao Liu, come down, it's too dangerous there."

Liu Fan saw that on the right side of the ridge was a small col, in which clusters of shrubs stood sporadically, and wanted to turn back and go down, but when he turned around, he suddenly saw a strange stone lying quietly in the col, not big, shaped like an old-fashioned stone hammer in the countryside, and the special thing was that there was a strange light reflected on it, which attracted Liu Fan at once.

The slope in the col is gentle, Liu Fan took three or two steps down to the middle of the col, two stone chickens and a wasteland cat that spied on the stone pheasant left quickly, and the side of the strange stone pressed a round ordinary bluestone with the size of a palm.

Liu Fan set aside the bluestone, squatted down and admired it carefully, this strange stone is black and green, the surface is uneven, and it is covered with dense small holes. Experience tells Liu Fan that this is no different from a meteorite, but Liu Fan has never been in contact with a meteorite of this color before, Liu Fan has a premonition that he has touched a rare meteorite, and gently picked up the stone, I don't know if it is excitement or something else, a Chen numb feeling instantly came from his hand, and in a trance Liu Fan felt a strong light with green in the black from the sky, through the stone to his heart, At the last moment, Liu Fan felt that the remaining consciousness was gone with the light.

With the pain of his head almost being knocked open, there were hoarse calls in his ears: "Fanzi, you wake up", "Fanzi, you wake up", and there was an indescribable sadness and despair in the thick dialect.

Liu Fan didn't understand who this was calling, was it calling himself? I only remember that I found a precious extraterrestrial stone, and then I didn't understand, did I accidentally fall down the hillside? Could it be that Lao Qi is pinching his nose and joking with himself?

Thinking of the stone, I immediately felt that my left hand was still heavy in my hand, it was the stone, but the doubts in my heart were getting stronger and stronger, it was just a col with a small slope, it was impossible to fall so painfully, since the fall was injured, it was impossible for Lao Qi to pinch his nose and joke with himself!

The call around him turned into an urn and the sound of an urn, brother, wake up, wake up, Liu Fan is getting more and more confused, who still calls himself brother, he has never enjoyed this kind of treatment? But he couldn't lift his spirit at all, his body hurt like a knife, his eyelids weighed more than Mount Tai, and he fainted again in a hurry.

A cold liquid slowly came down from his throat, and when he regained consciousness again, Liu Fan felt like a traveler on a long journey in the desert, and this sweet spring came at the right time.

I opened my eyes with difficulty, and I saw a solid and honest boy, not tall, but with thick arms and strong legs, and a layer of fine hair peculiar to a boy on his mouth, estimated to be between eighteen and nineteen years old, with a messy hair tied strangely with a small wooden stick, and was holding half a pottery shard to feed water to his mouth.

The boy was wearing a gray and black semi-short jacket, the hem was dragged all the way to the knees, the top was covered with a shoulder that seemed to be made of cowhide, and the lower body was wearing a fat jacket and pants worn by a man in Liu Fan's rural hometown when he was a child.

When the boy saw that Liu Fan was awake, a silly smile appeared on his chubby face, pounced on Liu Fan's body, and cheered excitedly, "Brother, you are awake, but you frightened me and Uncle Su." After that, he opened his throat and shouted back, "Uncle Su, come here, my brother is awake." ”

There was a loud laugh from the front, "I said that Xiao Fanzi has a big life, and Lord Yama doesn't necessarily like him, you see, this should not be fulfilled." ”

Although Liu Fan has completely woken up, he still has pain up and down his body when he moves slightly, especially his head, so he has to lie on his back, but because lying on the gentle slope does not affect his vision, his eyes glanced down, and he saw smoke on the lower right side, a clay pot was placed on a newly dug earthen stove, the air was filled with a smell of meat, and a man who looked nearly forty years old was busy by the earthen stove.

Hearing the boy's call, the middle-aged man rushed over, dressed in the same outfit as the boy, but even more shabby, with a smile on his long-standing face, and said in his mouth, "Wait a minute, the chicken soup will be good soon, this is a treasure house of nature, pheasants, hares, everything is available, settle down here, and the stone sheep will take the initiative to deliver it to the door." ”

The boy slowly helped him sit up, and Liu Fan had a chance to see the whole picture in front of him, only to see that he was still holding the strange stone in his hand, the stone was exactly the same as before he lost consciousness, and it emitted that strange light, but there was an extra black and red piece at the tip of the stone hammer, and there was still a round ordinary bluestone lying on his side.

Although Liu Fan still held the strange stone tightly, the stone never brought him any strangeness again.

The stone has not changed, but everything in front of you has changed, the mountain is still the majestic and magnificent snow mountain, but at this moment the scenery has changed from midwinter to mid-autumn, the afternoon sun shines directly on Liu Fan's body, the body is warm, the snow line recedes far away, like a small snow hat buckled on the top of the mountain, the surrounding bushes extend to the field of vision, lantern flowers, steamed bun flowers are yellow and white, competing to open, a wild rhododendron in the distance of the hillside is competing for beauty, and unknown kingfishers are chirping in the grass.

Liu Fan glanced at it casually, and found that the camel brand tourist shoes on his feet were gone, replaced by a pair of shabby and ugly chicken nest shoes, coarse cloth fat pants that couldn't distinguish the color, The only difference was that he was wearing a coat made of iron sheets on the outermost layer, but it was covered with dark red blood stains. ”

Liu Fan smashed his mouth with difficulty, and suddenly found that a worm tooth that had just been extracted by Dr. Zhao of Dentistry two days ago was growing in his mouth.

At this time, Liu Fan was really stunned, and the second monk was confused, and said involuntarily: "Who is this, where am I?"

As soon as the words came out, the two who were busy suddenly stood there, and spoke at the same time with a surprised face: "Fanzi, brother, what's wrong with you, why are you talking like this, something is wrong!"

Liu Fan muttered to himself in embarrassment: "I really don't remember anything, where are we here, what are we doing?"

The man named Uncle Su looked puzzled, and said uncertainly, you don't even remember who we are?

Liu Fan had no choice but to shake his head again with difficulty.

"Alas", Uncle Su said while sighing, "It's no wonder, you and the Khitan commander fought all the way from the mountain road to this side, Dong Zi and I have been chasing behind, rushing to the side of the ridge, the weapons of the two don't know where to fly, hugging each other and rolling down from the side of the ridge, and then hitting each other with stones, you have a big life, just held a sharp stone, and a few strokes will kill the Khitan commander, and the commander also hit you twice with the round stone next to you, it is estimated that the brain is injured, and the memory is gone, Uncle Su smiled bitterlyHow can this be done?"

Dong Zi said angrily in an urn over there, "My life is left, what do you want that memory for, don't eat or drink." Uncle Su thought about it over there, nodded, and thought deeply, "Yes, as long as your life is left, nothing else matters." ”

"Khitan thousand-commander? Could it be that he has crossed over to the Great Song Dynasty of the Zhao family? Liu Fan thought to himself.
