Hu Xuan, Shi Suo and Ah Hu each rode a horse, Hu Xuan found that Ah Hu's horseback riding skills were much better than his own, and he could also play small movements on horseback, Ah Hu said: "I have been riding horses since I was a child, not only riding horses, riding buffaloes, raising puppies, playing with monkeys, as long as it is a small animal, they all listen to me." ”

Because there is no need to hurry up, so Hu Bolt every day early to find a store to stay, for three days, this day into a ravine, the road is on both sides of the hillside, the roadside slope, are overgrown with tall trees, blocking the sky, the sunlight only shines down from the gaps in the leaves, the woods are full of birdsong, Ah Hu all the way to learn the birdsong, chirping vividly, and the real birds are not much different, attracting the wild birds on the trees to sing and harmony.

Suddenly, Ah Hu screamed a few times in his mouth, Hu Xuan and Shi Suo were used to hearing him learn all kinds of birds and beasts in the past few days, and they didn't care, but they saw Ah Hu jump off the horse and run towards a tree, standing under the tree and screaming a few times, the leaves on the tree rattled, and I don't know what small animals escaped.

"Monkeys." Ah Hu said.

"Monkeys are monkeys, what's so strange." Shi Suo said nonchalantly.

"But it's a domestic monkey with a noose around its neck."

"Oh?" Hu Shuan paid attention, and he recalled that on the way here, he had twice met a monkey with a rope around his neck. However, after looking up for a while, I saw nothing.

Ah Hu got back on his horse and said, "If it is a wild monkey, if I tease it like this, maybe he will let him go with us, but this monkey must have been domesticated and will not listen to my instructions at all." ”

"Just blow it." Shi Suo said.

"I don't believe you're looking." Ah Hu pursed his mouth.

Walking out of the ravine, the woods thinned, the sky suddenly cleared, and a fan-shaped mountain appeared in front of him, Ah Hu cheered, "It's here, this is our home, my home is at the foot of the mountain in front." ”

Hu Xuan listened, very happy, the three of them urged the horse to go fast, along the mountain road a trot, Hu Xuan found that the peaks around this are very beautiful, some like a mallet, some like a pen holder, some like a steamed bun, the vegetation on the mountain is dense, verdant and verdant, occasionally there is a waterfall hanging down from the mountain, as if in the painting.

Although Ah Hu said that "at the foot of the mountain in front" is his house, but Wangshan ran a dead horse, and the three of them galloped for a while, but they couldn't show how close they were, Shi Suo said: "Let's run slowly, the mountain road is like this, I'm afraid I can't get to it even if it gets dark." ”

Ah Hu was very excited, and introduced the names of these peaks to Hu Shi and the others, telling them which mountains had interesting little animals and which woods had strange birds, and he was very proud of these beautiful mountains and forests in his hometown. After walking for a while, Ah Hu suddenly tilted his head, pricked up his ears, listened for a while, and called out in surprise: "My dog, my rhubarb, my dog picked me up." ”

Sure enough, there seemed to be a sound of a dog barking in the distance, Ah Hu urged the horse to run quickly, and at the same time whistled a long whistle in his mouth, not much time, a big yellow dog ran over from the opposite road, Chen Hu cheered, flew off the horse, and ran towards the dog, the big yellow dog threw himself into his arms, looking very affectionate.

In the distance of the main road, a few figures appeared, getting closer and closer, and gradually saw that most of these people had headbands on their heads, and some of them were wearing silver jewelry, and they were Miao people in the mountains.

The three of them urged their horses forward, and Ah Hu ran to those people, shouting, "Dad." ”

A tall Miao man happily greeted him, grabbed Ah Hu's hand, and the other people also hurried up, Ah Hu was so excited that his little face was red, pointing to the Hu bolt and the stone lock, and said to those people without stopping, the tall Miao man stepped forward, bowed deeply to the Hu bolt stone lock, and said: "Sir, you saved Ah Hu, thank you for your kindness, let's go to the village first." ”

Seeing that these people were Ah Hu's family, Hu Xuan and Shi Suo were also very happy, dismounted, and along with these Miao people, they talked about their common experience with Ah Hu these days, and everyone couldn't help but marvel, glad that there was no accident.

A group of people walked and chatted, until nearly evening, only to the foot of the mountain, a Miao village, appeared on the roadside hillside, a small river in front of the village flowed through, the river water was clear to the end, the bamboo building stone house in the village, the shape is unique and antique, the west slanting sun shines down, the distant mountains and trees are near, the ancient village river, the scenery in front of you is beautiful.

"It's such a nice place," Hu Shuo couldn't help but exclaim.

Entering the village, walking into a stone-walled courtyard, Ah Hu's mother, sister and brother, all happily hugged out, couldn't help but be happy, Hu Bolt and Shi Lock to everyone in the center, over and over again, thank them, so that both of them feel embarrassed, neighbors, the village of old and young are still pouring here, everyone is enthusiastic, Hu Bolt said to Shi Suo: "People say that the Miao family is hospitable, it is indeed worthy of its name." ”

Everyone sat in the courtyard and gossiped, and the family brought up the Miao family's meals, colorful glutinous rice, smoked bacon, oil tea, and the host also brought a large jar of sweet wine, and said to Hu Shi and the others: "Let's drink happily today, not drunk." ”

Hu Bolt is not good at drinking, Shi Suo can drink a little bit is also an ordinary person's amount of alcohol, but Ah Hu's father is quite a lot of alcohol, left bowl after bowl, until late at night, Hu Bolt and Shi Suo repeatedly excused themselves, and then they were dismissed.

These days are tired of running around, and drank a lot of wine at dinner, Hu Shi and the two woke up very late the next day, Hu Shuo said goodbye to the master, Ahu's father said: "That's not good, tomorrow here is the mountain festival, you are our distinguished guests, you must celebrate the festival with us, when the time comes, there will be a lot of people from all over the country, all come to see the excitement, you have caught up, how can you miss it?" ”

The Miao family festival, Hu Xuan heard of some, but never saw it with his own eyes, this is a good opportunity, so he agreed. After breakfast, Ah Hu's father said: "Today I will take you out for a walk, we have beautiful mountains and rivers here, not that I boast, it is not easy to find such a good scenery to play." ”

"Yes, I found out yesterday." Hu Xuan nodded and said.

A few people walked out of the courtyard, looked into the distance, the green mountains are stacked with green, lush, the side peaks of the Hengling range are undulating, the staggered fall into a painting, the white clouds are wrapped around the peaks, just like the Tianque Shrine, a clear and clear river bends into nine curves, goes around the village. Hu Xuan couldn't help but be stunned, and said: "Such a beautiful scenery, simple is not like everything in the world, you live here, and you are immortals." ”

Shi Suoben didn't care about these, and couldn't help but praise: "It's really beautiful, much more beautiful than in the painting, no matter how big the painter is, he can't paint it." ”

Ah Hu's father laughed, and suddenly Hu Xuan exclaimed: "This scenery is so familiar, I've seen it." ”

"What?" Several people don't know why. Shi Suo asked, "Did you dream last night?" ”

Hu Xuan tilted his head and recalled, "That's right, I did see it, but it's not the real scene, but the magnificent brocade, embroidered on it, it's the scenery here, it's not bad at all, the falcon riveting seams, the mountain in the distance, the water in the near distance, and the village, the ancient tree over there, it's hundreds of years old, right?" It's this tree, this water, those mountains, that's not bad at all. ”

"Yes, yes, yes," Shi Suo also remembered, "I also remembered, that picture, yes, yes, yes, it seems to be like this." What a treasure map. ”

"That's not wrong," Hu Xuan nodded, "That picture is exactly where it was drawn." He looked back and forth, left and right, and continued: "That magnificent brocade should be sitting in front of the gate of Ah Hu's house, embroidered according to the scenery in front of him. He found a stone, sat down and gestured, "This is it, this is it, there is no mistake at all." ”

"Zhuangjin?" Ah Hu's father thought for a while and said: "We are here in Miao Township, there is no Zhuang brocade, I heard the ancestors say that the ancestors had aunts and grandmothers, and they learned the brocade weaving techniques of Zhuang Township, but I still didn't understand your words." ”

Hu Xuan explained: "I have seen a magnificent brocade, embroidered landscape painting, is the scene in front of me, I see, maybe it is from the hands of your ancestors, the painting is embroidered with colorful silk thread, and the corner is also stamped with a seal, which is an ancient seal." ”

Ah Hu's father suddenly said, "Wait a minute. Suddenly, he walked into the house quickly, walked out with a yellow wooden box in his hand, handed it to Hu Shuan, and said, "Take a look, isn't this it?" ”

The color of the wooden box was gloomy, and at a glance it was an antiquity, Hu Bolt knew the value of the antiquities, and was afraid of damaging the antiques, so he hurriedly found a place to sit firmly, and then carefully opened the wooden box, which was wrapped in yellow silk, and untied the yellow silk, and a jasper seal appeared in front of him.

The seal is four inches square, carved into white jade, the jade is white, and faintly glows with blue blue, which is a little more vivid than ordinary white jade, the whole body is clear, with a soft and warm light, lying quietly in the wooden box.

Hu Xuan's breathing gradually became short, his eyes stared at this seal without blinking, as if he was stupid, he was born in archaeology, and everyone who understands archaeology, for the jade seal that has been missing for many centuries, it is all a psychedelic dream in his heart, that jade seal, how many dynasties have been passed on, and become a symbol of national rights and status, after the Song Dynasty, countless emperors have worked hard all their lives, but they have not been able to find it, thinking about it for a long time, but they have no chance to see its traces, how can they think that they are here, see its figure.

The shape and texture of this seal is the heirloom seal.

Inherit the national seal!

At this moment, Hu Xuan's heart was as turbulent as the waves of the sea, and he didn't know what to say, all kinds of professional knowledge about archaeology that he had learned came to his mind, and all kinds of legends about the national seal flashed through his mind, like a beautiful dream, presented in front of him.

He calmed down for a while, carefully picked up the seal, and looked at the text on it, sure enough, those eight characters were the small seal of the Qin Dynasty, and it was written exactly: Ordered by the sky, both longevity and eternal prosperity.

Ah Hu's father scratched his head and said, "My father told me that the words in the song on it seem to be called 'peace and joy, happiness and longevity'." ”

"No," Hu Xuan shook his head, "That's someone else lied to you, these eight words are 'ordered by the sky, both longevity and eternal prosperity'." ”
