I made the decision at a time when I was not confused, and my friends around me were dumbfounded, and I left my job to become a freelance writer. I used to work as a newspaper reporter and deal with those lackluster conference interviews or just those ridiculous exhibition reports every day, and I really felt that I was suffering from depression, and I didn't know how to write every time I picked up the pen, so I decided to quit naked in order not to let my depression worsen.

After leaving the newspaper for the first job, it took me a full month to interview and sort it out, and in this I slowly entered a world that I couldn't understand at all, and everything I said below was not something I had experienced, but it was said intermittently by a mysterious friend, and the only thing I did was to rearrange these intermittent fragments so that readers could read what I wanted to say.

Before I get to the point, let me say three things.

The first thing, the time is about the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, late one night in the Yunwu Mountain area located in the depths of the Qinling Mountains, there was an extremely strange thing, the old hunter Zhuang Ke was woken up by the deafening thunder, it is now the winter season, how can there be thunder in the mountains? Zhuang Ke was a little puzzled. Cautiously walking out of the room with a hunting bow, he was immediately stunned by what he saw, and afterwards Zhuang Ke began to be delirious until a hundred years later.

What did Lao Zhuangke see that time? No one can say clearly, some people say that he saw the Yin soldiers, some people say that they saw the immortals, and some people say that he encountered black and white impermanence and took away his soul.

Then, every 10 years, a person in this mountain village fell ill with this delirious disease, and his mouth would say something that no one could understand.

Thirty years ago, a well-known psychiatric expert in Yanjing City visited that village, and when he came back, he wrote a sentence: "That mountain should not appear in this world, and the village that has guarded it for generations should not appear, so that day it was all over, and the name of Guigu Cliff made me feel cool behind my back when I heard it." Since then, the expert has left his country - Huaxia with his family.

Later, someone went to the place that the expert had said, but there was nothing but mountains.

The second incident probably happened at the time of the Rising Sun invasion of China, in a city in the Jiangnan region of the Huaxia Kingdom, which was called Liangxi.

Liangxi had a big traitor named Zhang Cheng during the Japanese unification period, and at that time he was the chairman of the maintenance association of Liangxi City and the mayor of Liangxi City~.

Zhang Cheng has a calligraphy and painting in his house, called Guigu out of the mountain, this painting is from whom, what period can not be verified, it stands to reason that this painting is not the hand of a famous artist, it is not very valuable, but Zhang Cheng is regarded as a treasure and hides it in the secret room at home.

No one knows what the content of the Guigu Mountain Map is, and the people of the Rising Sun Country are also very interested, and the head of the special high class, Muto Kazukuma, came to Zhang Cheng's house to appreciate this painting. But when Zhang Cheng opened the secret room, the painting had long been missing, and the corpse of Yun Meixiangzi, the deputy head of the special high school, still had a dagger inserted in it, and there was a note on the dagger, which read: "Eight doors to collect the map, clean up the portal" eight blood characters.

Three days later, Zhang Cheng died at home, and the special high school dissected him and found that Zhang Cheng's abdomen was full of maggots that he had never seen before, and his death was very strange. Muto Kazuma seemed to find something strange from these two things, but after tracking for half a year, Muto Kazuma hurriedly returned to the mainland of the Rising Sun Country and submitted a hundred-page report to the cabinet, known as the Muto Report.

No one knows the contents of this report, but Muto Kazukuma also died of a bizarre illness a year later, and a few years later, the Rising Sun Kingdom lost the war, and the matter was closed.

The third thing is the closest thing to now, fifteen years ago, a team composed of scientific research, medical treatment, and charity entered the Yunwu Mountain area of the Qinling Mountains, this team was originally to inspect the local hope primary school and charity medical activities carried out here, and by the way, a team of scientific expeditions entered the depths of the Yunwu Mountains to find rare animals and plants.

The local government dispatched tens of thousands of search and rescue team members and villagers to search for them in the mountains, but the Yunwu Mountain was too big to look for half a month to see the traces, and the matter was also on the headlines of the national news at that time, which was a sensation, and the families of the expedition team did not give up looking for the expedition team members for a long time.

About two years ago, there was a small-scale earthquake in Yunwu Mountain, the villagers of Yunwu Village salvaged a dried corpse in the Shiquan River, the corpse was no longer recognizable, but the tattered clothes can confirm that the dried corpse was a member of the scientific expedition team that year, and the dry corpse was holding a broken jade in his hand, and soon the high-level government intervened, no one knew what this jade looked like, and the villagers who salvaged the dried corpse only glanced at the jade, and there were many symbols on the jade that the size of the ants could not understand.

Since then, the matter has disappeared and no one has ever mentioned it again.

My name is Sun Dan, and as a father of a two-year-old child and a forty-year-old middle-aged uncle, my naked resignation really surprised my family and friends around me.

At the end of the autumn of 2019, this is the thirtieth day after I resigned, before I resigned, I already knew what I was going to do, and I had already remarked a WeChat public account, my ideal is to be a freelance writer, and there is a business in my official account that is formulated for life, that is, to help others sort out their own dictation, after all, my son is not yet two years old, I still need money to maintain the needs of the family, although my wife is very supportive of my ideals, that ideal cannot be eaten.

At first, I always thought that the person who asked me to sort out the dictation was an old man who was over 100 and a half years old, and he might need to write an autobiography or something, so that he would find me. However, when I went to the agreed place, I found that the person who had made an appointment with me was actually a young man.

2011, Liangxi City.

The story starts with a private detective agency that is about to go out of business, and the owner of the detective agency is called Shen Yifan. This guy has no memory other than his name and some strange skills, which is what we usually call "amnesia". He came to Liangxi City about a year ago, and he didn't know anything before he came to Liangxi City, he was very good at Feng Shui, antique treasure appreciation and some strange skills, he didn't know how he knew these skills, but these became a necessary means for him to survive in Liangxi City.

Shen Yifan's private detective is not very good, maybe Shen Yifan doesn't know how to take care of it, or maybe the content and service items he investigates are a bit different, which has led to his private detective office not opening within a year, and his detective office specializes in taking orders for those bizarre supernatural events called - Dragon Hunting Society.

Liangxi City, as the main hub city of China's north-south transportation, occupies the first and unshakable logistics in the country, railway, aviation, shipping, highway almost every vital transportation line in China has to run through Liangxi, which is why this city has become one of the cities with a high incidence of smuggling.

Shen Yifan's detective office is located at the south gate of Liangxi City, not far from the city's antique trading market, in an old-fashioned office building.

This office building was built in the 90s, and it is the kind of apartment building with many homes on one floor, and the building is staffed by a variety of businesses, some of which are ..... Premises, some of which are warehouses for smuggled goods, and some are loan sharks.

Shen Yifan looked at the door stuffed with all kinds of reminder letters and notices on the door to demand rent and management fees, smiled slightly, took down those letters, opened the door and entered, dragging a suitcase in his left hand. At this time, Shen Yifan was down, a word "poor", no money to pay electricity, water, phone bills, rent and management fees for a month, his residence had already been kicked out by the landlord, and he could only go to the detective house to live first, if there was no money to pay the rent of the detective office, it was estimated that he would sleep on the road next week.

As soon as he walked into the detective agency, before he could close the door, he was pushed open by a big hand, and four big men suddenly rushed into the door.

The suit and leather shoes in the lead smiled coldly at Shen Yifan: "Brother Fan, is the debt going to be settled?" ”

Shen Yifan looked at the detective office, which was already empty, only the four walls, and said with a wry smile: "Brother Jun, I have the money to pay you back early." Look at where I'm now......"

The boss of a debt company took the lead, and he also came to collect debts, he looked at the various collection orders in Xia Fan's hand, and knew that it was for nothing today, and he was helpless, so he pointed at Shen Yifan and said: "30,000 will be 40,000 next week." I'll give you another week, and I'm not welcome to pay it back then. With that, he shook his hand and left.

Shen Yifan really wants to use his brains to make some money, and if he continues like this, it is estimated that he will be pulled by a loan shark company to cut off his kidney. Thinking of this, he slowly took out a piece of white jade from his pocket, he couldn't remember how this jade came from, but he knew that if he wanted to find his past jade, it should be very important, and now he had no choice but to sell the jade.

The largest antique trading market in Liangxi City at the south gate - South Park.

South Park is one of the best antique trading venues in China, there are brokers, sellers, buying, practicing stalls, and all kinds of shops, the only thing that is the same is that all the businesses here are related to antiques.

The North Gate Market in South Park is the kind of small antique shops that go one shop after another, basically selling some Xibei goods to fool those laymen.

In the middle of this row of shops, there is an inconspicuous shop called "Gu Moxuan", and Shen Yifan and a young man are smoking on the counter.

Shen Yifan took a puff of cigarette and said to the young man: "I said that you have been looking at this piece of jade for a long time, have you got it right?" ”

Fang Zi took Shen Yifan's jade bi and slurred his mouth, rubbed the cigarette butt in his hand into the ashtray and said, "Brother Fan, where did you get this jade bi from?" ”

Shen Yifan sighed and said: "I won't hide it from you, I only remember what happened after I came to Liangxi City, I really forgot where this jade came from." ”

Fang Zi also smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Fan, it's strange for you to say this, you have amnesia!" It's really a mess of amnesia, and I forgot everything in the past, so I didn't pull down the ability to fight with a gun and look at each other. ”

Shen Yifan touched his head and said, "I'm also wondering, how can I know these things?" ”

Fang Zi looked at Yubi carefully and said, "Brother Fan, you are also a good hand in the palm eye, you can't see what this thing is?" ”

Shen Yifan shook his head and said: "The quality of this jade is not high-quality, but it is a bit old, the problem is that these hollow symbols on this jade are really not recognizable." You look at the valuation. ”

Fang Zi handed the jade back to Yifan and said, "Are you in a hurry to use the money?" ”

"Usury, I have to pay it back next week, 40,000." Shen Yifan stretched out four fingers and said, "It is estimated that if you don't pay it back, you will have to cut your kidney." ”

"This~" Fang Zi was a little embarrassed and stopped talking.

Shen Yifan looked at it and asked extremely unhappy, "What do you say?" ”

Fang Zi said hesitantly: "I don't know if there is 40,000 traffic in this store for a year." I think if you are really in a hurry to use the money, it is better to go to Yumantang to find Jin Wanli and try. ”

"Jade Mantang? Jin Wanli? Shen Yifan was a little puzzled in his heart, looked at the jade bi in his hand and said to himself: "It seems that you can only find Jin Wanli." ”

Yumantang is one of the largest antique stores in Liangxi City, there are four major antique stores in Liangxi City, Yumantang is the first, and the so-called first one is the first one that the last three together cannot be tied with Yumantang, which can be said to dominate the cultural and entertainment industry in Liangxi City. The boss of Yumantang is even more remarkable, the vice chairman of the domestic jade association, the permanent member of the antique association and the chairman of Yawentang in Liangxi City, known as Jin Ye - Jin Wanli. Jin Wanli is well-known in Liangxi City, and he is the boss of the antique trade in Liangxi City.

Shen Yifan was very reluctant to deal with this kind of person, and the reason was not clear, he always felt that something was wrong, he thought about it for a long time and asked: "There is no other way?" ”

Fang Zi said: "Brother Fan, you also understand, this piece of jade is an old object, but no one can tell what it is!" It's also very difficult to sell this thing in the hands of others, not to mention that it can be shipped in ten days and half a month next week, and it is also Amitabha. Yumantang is different, after all, people have a lot of money, where this thing is, and it doesn't matter if people have been in a year and a half! ”

Shen Yifan thought for a long time and said, "It seems that this is the solution." ”
