The Ruins of the Immortal Mountain Chapter 21 Memories

The jar suddenly came to my ear and asked, "This year, the marriage examination still checks the heart?" Before I could answer, Xiao Ai had already spoken: "My heart has not been very good since I was a child, and I know that some heart diseases are inherited in families, so I also attach importance to it, so I asked my glasses to check my heart as well." ”

"Oh!" Seeing that Xiao Ai heard his words, Tanzi stepped aside and stopped talking.

I stepped forward and slowly lifted the white cloth covering the face of my glasses, revealing the swollen, decayed face of my glasses. When I saw this face, I couldn't recognize that this was the glasses that I grew up with, and although they had been beautified by the mortuary, they still made people feel disgusting and terrifying. The smell of rancid stuff kept digging into my nostrils, and even though the corpse had been frozen and scented, it still couldn't stop the smell that emanated from this natural law.

The face of the glasses is no longer visible, but the expression on the face remains the same as the moment before deathβ€”painful, distorted. I've seen people who die of acute myocardial infarction, and they do have very painful expressions before they die, because angina due to myocardial ischemia is very unbearable. In this respect, glasses are consistent with the performance of a heart attack.

I put a cloth on my glasses, turned my head to Xiao Ai and asked, "You mean that the police made a mistake in the autopsy?" ”

"No!" Xiao Ai shook his head, "I did suspect it at first, so later I found another professional institution to conduct an autopsy, and the results were the same as those of the police, which means that Yutian did die of a heart attack." ”

I don't understand with the altar, since he died of a heart attack, why don't you recognize this result?

Xiao Ai also seems to see our doubts: "A healthy person, can a heart attack happen for no reason?" I don't believe the cause of his death was due to his own illness! ”

I figured out what Xiao Ai meant: "You mean it's an external factor?" What would that be? ”

Xiao Ai shook her head: "I don't know ...... either" She glanced at the two of us, revealing an expression of wanting to say and stopping, as if she had something to say but didn't say it.

β€œ...... Right now, I just want to arrange Yutian's future affairs properly, and then have a ...... It's how to appease my aunt, I'm really afraid of her ......" Xiao Ai sighed and turned to leave. She knew that now she had to be by the old lady's side at all times, just in case, and if she noticed something, she would at least be able to react as soon as possible.

The altar and I sat down next to the brazier again, adding some paper money for our glasses, and at the same time dialing the wick of the lamp in front of the coffin to prevent the light from going out.

"Alas~" Tanzi also sighed, "You said that if you hadn't been an archaeologist, you wouldn't have died young." ”

I said, "This is a dream of glasses, hasn't he aspired to be an archaeologist since he was a child?" Perhaps, in his opinion, this is to dedicate himself to the cause he loves. ”

"Come on!" Tan Zi said disapprerovingly, "For a dream, even take your own life, I don't think it's worth it, what can be more expensive than life?" ”

"Maybe that's the difference between you and the glasses, after all, he's a graduate of a prestigious university, and you're ......" I looked him up and down: "It's just that I didn't graduate from elementary school......"

"!" The jar rudely interrupted me, "Don't you know what Lao Tzu's education is?" Lao Tzu is a person with a junior high school graduation certificate! ”

I was a little speechless: "You don't want to show off this kind of education, okay?" ”

"You say~" Tanzi asked me, "Is there a great danger in archaeological expeditions?" ”

"Danger or not, don't you know?"

Tan Zi looked puzzled: "I'm not glasses, how do I know if archaeology is dangerous?" You're so inexplicable! ”

"Really?" I asked the jar rhetorically.

"Nope!" The jar replied categorically.

"Really?" I said mockingly, "What about that time in the year and six years?" ”

"Uh......" The altar suddenly remembered that incident, and couldn't help but be speechless.

"And ......"

"Gotta gotcha, you said it, I remember, remember!"

I asked him, "Do you remember what happened in the last six years?" ”

The jar shouted: "Then how can I forget, I will remember it for the rest of my life!" ”

"But some people didn't remember it just now." I scoffed.

The altar smiled: "Didn't you remember it for a while...... Hey, I remember the summer of '06, right? He busily digressed from the subject.

"Yes, that summer, you, me and glasses ...... together"

"I remember it all started when the three of us went out for a barbecue on the night of the holiday......"

So, in front of the spirit of glasses, Tanzi and I recalled an incident that happened during the summer vacation of my sophomore year.

The year was 2006, and I came home from the summer vacation of my sophomore year. Since Xiao Ai was going out on a trip with his classmates, he didn't come back, leaving only me, Tanzi and glasses. On the first day I came back, I made an appointment to go to a barbecue together in the evening. My brothers were very happy because they hadn't seen each other for a year, so they all drank a lot. As a result, at the time of checkout, we had a conflict with the owner of the barbecue stall over the cost. With the strength of the wine, we not only smashed people's barbecue stalls, but also beat the boss. Later, the boss called a lot of people to come, and we threw them to the ground. In the end, the police uncle took the three of us into the police station, where we spent an "unforgettable" night.

Later, we reconciled with the boss on the condition that we compensate the family for medical expenses, lost work expenses and mental damages of 30,000 yuan, and the police released the three of us. But 30,000 yuan is not a small amount, the three of us are not rich, and we have no intention of letting our family know about this matter, so we have to make up the money ourselves.

Tanzi's hometown is Chifeng City, Inner Mongolia, and he has a bloodstone at home, which was given to him by people from his hometown when his father returned to his hometown more than ten years ago. This stone is bright red in color, as if it has been soaked in blood, and is often used to carve seals and handicrafts. The earliest bloodstone found in China was the bloodstone of Yuyan Mountain in Changhua, Zhejiang, and later Bahrain bloodstone was found in Chifeng City, Inner Mongolia. In the 90s of the 20th century, traces of bloodstone were found in Shaanxi, Gansu, Sichuan, Hunan, Yunnan, Guilin, Guangxi and other places.

In fact, the so-called bloodstone is nothing more than the cinnabar strip of the ground stone (a kind of hydroxy-containing aluminosilicate mineral, which has the same composition as kaolinite and pearlite, but the structure is different), and it is named after the bright red cinnabar (cinnabar) that resembles chicken blood. Bloodstone contains cinnabar (cinnabar), quartz, calcite, stibnite, kaolinite, dolomite and other minerals, and most of them contain mercury sulfide and other components of sulfide and silicate minerals. Bloodstone is ranked alongside Shoushan stone, Qingtian stone and Bahrain stone in China, and enjoys the reputation of "four great stones".

Bloodstone and Tian Huangshi, Qingtian light frozen stone is known as the three treasures of the stone, and its works are known for "magnificent, exquisite, elegant and colorful". Bloodstone was once known as the most expensive stone in the world, and was especially loved by the imperial family during the Qing Dynasty in China, and was even used by the emperor to carve jade seals. The mining and utilization of Changhua bloodstone began in the Yuan Dynasty and has a history of more than 1,000 years. In the Ming Dynasty, it has begun to be widely used, and since the Qing Dynasty, bloodstone has become a valuable collection of the imperial palace and the royal palace, and is limited to officials who have more than four grades in the imperial court.

Because Bahrain bloodstone and Changhua bloodstone are located in the north and south, they also have the saying of "south blood and north land". The so-called "southern blood" refers to the bright color of Changhua bloodstone, pure and innocent. The so-called "Northland" refers to the texture of Bahrain bloodstone, which is generally Bahrain stone, delicate and warm, and easy to carve. However, whether it is Bahrain bloodstone or Changhua bloodstone, their production is very limited, so the market price has been high.

However, even such valuable stones have now been stolen from the jar and sold on the market. Don't underestimate this small stone, it was sold for 8,000 yuan, which made the three of us a little overjoyed. Although the money sold this time is not small, it is still a lot short of 30,000 yuan.
