Volume 1 Quicksand Gods Chapter 1 Scissors Alley

Twenty-five years later, in the autumn of 1997, in the autumn breeze in Nanjing's Jianzi Lane, I sat at the table and flipped through the historiography materials in my hand: "More than 700 years ago, in 1227 AD, Genghis Khan's expedition to the Western Xia, led to the collapse of the Western Xia Dynasty, on the eve of the collapse of the Western Xia Dynasty, Genghis Khan died of illness, after Genghis Khan was buried, the Yuan Dynasty royal implementation of the traditional custom of secret burial, that is, the burial site of the emperor's mausoleum is not marked, not announced, not recorded, the soil on the mausoleum was also flattened by ten thousand horses, and all those who knew were killedThe location of the tomb has become a difficult mystery to solve. ”

I carefully flipped through the historiography materials of the history of the Yuan Dynasty and the history of the Western Xia in my hand, but I still couldn't figure out why Genghis Khan, a generation of Tianjiao, died of sudden illness, and what was even more strange was the move of the late emperor of the Western Xia, Li Wei, at that time, the Western Xia was already unbearable, the horses were hungry and the people were thin, why would they sneak attack the menacing Mongolian soldiers, it was clear that there was no chance of winning at all, but the Western Xia still carried out the plan of the sneak attack, could it be that there must be a reason to do so?

Just as I was thinking about it, the voice of a fat man suddenly came from the door, interrupting all my thoughts.

"You've graduated, and you're still flipping through books every day? Why don't you go out with me and set up a stall for a while. ”

The fat man came up from the door, patted me on the shoulder, smiled evilly, and said, "What are you looking at?" It's so engrossed that you didn't hear me when I opened the door. ”

In order to continue my studies in archaeology after graduating from university, I had to fill in the lack of professional knowledge, and I told him perfunctorily without looking back: "I'll just flip through it, these are all things in my major." ”

"Well, then don't say it, I don't understand it." The fat man waved his hand.

The fat man took two steps, put the folding table in his hand in the corner, planted it on the sofa, and sighed: "In this situation, it is really not easy to set up a stall, my waist is about to break." ”

"You're tired of contributing, you're tired of running errands, and you're not familiar with the road, and you're annoying when you move your mouth, so it's weird if it's easy."

The fat man sat up from the sofa and said unhappily: "What's the matter, I'm not you, if I'm also a college student, can I do this, you can talk there and talk cool." ”

Every time I talk to the fat man, it's endless.,I simply continued to read the information in my hand and didn't bother with the fat man anymore.,

"Gotta you, I'm coming back to fill up my clothes and then go to dinner, do you want to come along?" The fat man said as he put on his coat.

"You go first, if you really can't do it, you can help me bring some later."

The fat man stammered: "Your learning strength, I really can't compare." Then he closed the door and went downstairs.

At this time, my mind was still thinking about the secret history of Genghis Khan, such a magical character, the whereabouts of such a mysterious person are really curious.

I looked at the secret history of the Yuan Dynasty in my hand, the most likely of which should be Liupan Mountain in Ningxia, according to the past customs of the Mongolian people, people should be disposed of within 3 days of death, or buried in the sky, or buried, or cremated, for fear that the corpse will rot and the soul will not go to heaven.

But after so many years, if it is really in Liupan Mountain in Ningxia, then it should also be discovered, because I didn't sleep well last night, thinking about it was swept away by the sleepiness that swept in my mind, I patted my face to make myself sober and sober, thinking that if I slept over, I am afraid that I will not be able to eat lunch.

I looked at the sky outside the window, and then took out the Nokia brand mobile phone in my pocket, ready to make a call to the fat man, let him help me bring me some lunch or something, just when I opened the address book, the phone popped up the fat man's phone, I thought to myself that the fat man was really timely, and also saved me the phone bill.

I coughed and said, "Fatty, you hit it just in time." Just as he wanted to continue, a female voice came from the other end of the phone: "I'm sorry, sir, I'm not the owner." ”

As soon as I heard it was a female voice, I wondered if it was a fat man looking for a girl outside to find out something, so I said, "May I ask who you are?" ”

"I accidentally hit your friend while driving, and I am now at the gate of a hospital in the city, please come over quickly." The woman on the other end of the phone said in a panic, like a child who had made a mistake.

"Okay, okay, I'll come right over." As soon as I heard that something had happened to the fat man, and the woman's tone did not seem to be fake, I hurriedly grabbed a piece of clothing and rushed downstairs.

I walked all the way and thought "when did this fat man be so careless, why was he hit by a car when he went out to eat?"

The fat man's natal name is Wang Shengli, he has been playful since he was a child, and later his parents had an accident when helping people do farm work, and finally died unfortunately, so the fat man dropped out of school before graduating from junior high school, and in order not to waste the family's land, he has been staying at home to do farm work.

Since the fat man stayed at home, he ate more and more fat day by day, originally to urge him to lose weight, so he was nicknamed - Fat Man, who knew that he had never lost weight, and this back and forth was called getting used to it, and he didn't change his words.

The fat man and I are the same, my hometown is Xi'an, I because of family reasons, I applied for the university in Nanjing, the fat man knew that I did not plan to return to my hometown after graduation, so he ran from Xi'an, saying that he was also a lonely person in his hometown, come to me together, and take care of each other.

I trotted all the way to the first hospital in the city where the fat man was, and it was not far from where I lived to the first hospital in the city, only one or two kilometers away, and it would only take ten minutes to trot over.

The place where I live is called Scissors Lane, in the early Ming Dynasty, this is the location of the weapons warehouse, and there are many arrow clusters stored in the warehouse, so it is called "Arrow Lane", and the later sound is "Scissors Lane". I chose this place because the rent here is relatively cheap, the scattered plane trees are rooted on both sides of the alley, and the small stone road under my feet is the most suitable place to retire.

Scissors Lane is connected to Dayoufang Lane in the west, and Dongjingqiao East Street is connected to the east, parallel to Madao Street, that is, when it is close to the afternoon, the light is not very good, especially when it is about to go out of the alley.

I trotted all the way over, surrounded by mostly elderly people, either on crutches or carrying birdcages, showing leisure and loneliness

Looking at the alley not far away, I thought that the alley was about to arrive, so I slowed down, and at this moment, the soles of my feet suddenly stepped on a few things that were as round as marbles, and my feet slipped, and I stumbled backwards.

I endured the pain and slowly stood up, patted the dust on my buttocks, and thought to myself what it was, so I squatted on the ground to look for it, the color of the thing was not much different from the withered sycamore leaves, I searched for a few seconds, and then carefully lifted the string of marbles, and scolded in my heart, "Isn't this a string?" is so immoral, why did you throw it here. ”

I put the bracelet in my hand and checked it, put it in front of my eyes and looked at it, and three extremely familiar small characters were imprinted into my mind, and I read it out word by word: "King! Victory! Sharp! ”

"This... Why did the fat man's agarwood bracelet get here, this is his most precious thing, could it be that the fat man was knocked out here? How can there be cars passing through this alley," I said, trying to turn back and ask someone.

As soon as I was about to get up with my hands on my knees, a hand suddenly put on my shoulder, and I was about to turn my head when the hand suddenly sank and pressed me down, and the sudden pressure made me almost gasp.

I yelled at the top of my voice, "What are you doing! Is it that you don't have long eyes when you walk! But the man never let go.

I said bitterly in my heart, "In broad daylight, is it a lawbreaker who is seeking money and killing people, I am too unlucky."

Seeing that the man refused to let go, I immediately propped one hand on the ground, and grabbed the other hand, but as soon as I touched that hand, I felt that something was slammed on the back of my neck, and a sore pain quickly spread all over my body, and my legs and feet fell to the ground as soon as they were weak, I struggled to raise my head to see who it was, but I never had time to see the person behind me, and I felt dizzy in front of me, and my whole body was paralyzed.
