Chapter 11: The Unbelievable (I)
Daxing Village, located on the outskirts of Beijing, once hosted many young intellectuals who came to the countryside for re-education. It is definitely good luck to be able to stay in Daxing, this area of dozens of acres was originally a deserted cemetery in the north of Daxing Village, and the educated youths were placed in this cemetery when they first arrived in Daxing Village. Among them are Zhang Jiadong and Zhao Gang, two stinky boys who were suspended from school in their teens to receive re-education. Originally, most of the adobe mud houses here were temporarily built by the production team for the educated youth, and they collapsed and left many idle after decades of ups and downs......
Zhao Haipeng entered the house and looked around the west wing with his professional habits, except for some unpleasant smells, there was nothing strange. Zhang Ning said excitedly: "These furniture were still used when I was a child, but I didn't expect all the things in the old house to be there!" ”
Zhao Haipeng said with a smile: "In recent years, there has been a lot of construction and construction of high-rise buildings in the city, and old furniture is a rarity. I asked people to pick up the furniture, and it was basically good. ”
Zhang Ning stroked the dilapidated table and chair and turned back to Chen Mengsheng and asked, "What do you say is wrong in this house?" ”
Chen Mengsheng frowned and walked straight into the west wing, and Zhao Haipeng and Zhang Ning also followed into the inner room. The so-called back room is a small hallway room, with a desk next to the window, and weeds half a person high outside the window. A simple bamboo shed bed with a small cabinet next to the bed. Chen Mengsheng opened the cabinet door and saw a lot of yellowed and blurry pictures of human heads pasted behind the cabinet door, so he casually asked Zhang Ning: "Who drew these?" ”
Zhang Ning took a closer look and said: "These are all photos taken by my father, and the only thing my father secretly brought when he went to the countryside was the Taiwan Seagull Camera." Could it be that these photos are what you say?! ”
"Miss Zhang misunderstood, it wasn't these...... Shine...... The photo is inappropriate. It's because my spell is lost, and the Heavenly Eye is also abolished, so I can only look at it by feeling, and when I go down into this room, I notice that there is a yin qi, but I don't know what it is. Chen Mengsheng said.
Zhao Haipeng scolded: "Neurotic, it's your unreliable feeling that you've been making trouble for a long time." ”
Zhang Ning looked at the photo and said calmly: "These two are my parents, and these two are Uncle Zhao and his wife." These two children are me and Haipeng, and more than 20 years have passed in a blink of an eye. ”
Chen Mengsheng stared at the small cabinet and looked at it, beating the drum inside and outside the cabinet with his hands for a long time. Zhao Haipeng said angrily: "What do you want to do this old liar!" You've seen everything in the house, and if you talk nonsense, I'll tie you up right away. ”
Chen Mengsheng's eyes suddenly widened, and he shouted: "Break! ”
Just when Zhao Haipeng and Zhang Ning looked at each other, the small cabinet made a crisp sound, and the bottom of the cabinet cracked strangely. The blood from the corner of Chen Mengsheng's mouth slowly flowed down, and he sat cross-legged on the ground panting like a cow. Zhao Haipeng stepped forward and slammed the bottom board a few times with his fist, where did the cedar board of the book withstand Zhao Haipeng's fist. After splitting apart, a small bag was revealed, and Zhao Haipeng grabbed the bag and retreated to Zhang Ning's side.
"Ahh This...... This...... How is this possible! Zhang Ning shouted.
"Ning'er, what is this?" Zhao Haipeng asked puzzled.
Zhang Ning pointed to the small bag and said: "This is the first time I earned money from work-study when I was in college, I bought a machine bag for my father!" ”
Zhao Haipeng looked at the bag repeatedly and then opened the zipper of the bag, and there was a notebook with a yellow jacket inside, Zhang Ning grabbed it and flipped through it and shouted: "Haipeng, this is the work note left by my father before he disappeared!" ”
"Hey, are you alright? How do you know there's a secret compartment in the cupboard? Zhao Haipeng squatted down and asked Chen Mengsheng.
Chen Mengsheng forced the surging blood and blushed and said, "I can feel something that you can't see, but the bag in this cabinet is definitely not the resentment I feel. I am now exhausted and I will not be able to walk until I have been able to walk for three weeks. After Chen Mengsheng finished speaking, he was silent and closed his eyes, and Zhao Haipeng just wanted to ask again, but was pulled aside by Zhang Ning.
Haipeng ...... Haipeng ...... Look at this! Here is a record of my father's visit to Xinjiang several times, and I think there must be a reason for my father's disappearance. Zhang Ning was a little nervous and speechless.
Zhao Haipeng took the notebook in Zhang Ning's hand and looked at it, which roughly recorded the Swiss archaeologist Volcker more than 70 years ago. Bergman went deep into the Tarim Basin of Xinjiang and accidentally found a group of ancient tombs with 1,000 coffins, the most shocking of which was the discovery of Princess Smiling. In the notebook was a yellowed portrait, and I saw the smiling princess dressed noblely, wearing a pointed felt hat with a red ribbon on her head, and her eyes slightly closed, like a beautiful woman who had just fallen asleep. The beautiful beauty's beautiful nose and a row of shell teeth under the lips of the book left a mysterious and eternal smile for the world......
Bergmann's astonishing discovery did not last long, and in less than twenty-four hours, a thousand coffins mysteriously disappeared and were buried in the endless yellow sand. Bergmann recorded all this in detail in the "Archaeology of Xinqi", which also triggered domestic archaeologists to explore China's most mysterious Xinjiang Lop Nur, hoping to recreate the fascinating country of Guloulan.
After more than half a century, with the unremitting efforts of Xinjiang archaeologists, there is finally some eyebrows. In 2003, the director of the Xinqi Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology, Idi Lisi, sent a letter of invitation to Zhang Jiadong, and Zhang Jiadong excitedly went to the Peacock River twice to help excavate and find hundreds of cultural relics sleeping underground. When I went to Xinjiang three times, Tarim disappeared endlessly, and only the notebook was left blank......
Zhao Haipeng put down the notebook and said to himself with the old portrait sandwiched inside: "Uncle Zhang put this notebook in the old house, which means that the notebook does not want to be known by others, but he does not specify why. Problematic! Definitely there is a problem! ”
Zhang Ning pondered for a while and said, "My father has always been very cautious about his work, but there are only a few words about the excavation work in Tarim in his notes. Is this notebook trying to tell us something else? ”
Zhao Haipeng closed his notebook, stared at the side, looked at it again, and suddenly realized: "Huh? Ning'er, there are several pages missing from the notebook! Zhao Haipeng carefully followed the remaining pages of the notebook to find the missing notebook, which happened to be a record of the third trip to Xinjiang, according to which two or three pages should be missing.
Zhao Haipeng shook his head and said, "Uncle Zhang is afraid that this notebook will fall into someone's hands, so he deliberately hid it here, right?" If you can find the missing page, there may be a clue! ”
Zhang Ning turned his head to look at Chen Mengsheng, who was motionless and breathing, and said softly to Zhao Haipeng: "I didn't expect this person to really know a little bit about Taoism, if he hadn't always said that the jade plate was his, I really thought he was a master!" ”
"Damn! Look at his virtue, he is a psychotic at best, and a master! The charlatans are pretty much the same! Zhao Haipeng was still suspicious of Chen Mengsheng, and felt out the handcuffs and wanted to handcuff him, Zhang Ning hurriedly pulled Zhao Haipeng out of the west wing, and between the pulling, Zhao Haipeng didn't notice it, and the portrait in the notebook in his hand slipped down silently, and fell right under Chen Mengsheng, who was settled......
"What, what! You be careful with your hands, don't pull it, don't pull it, it's going to hurt again. Zhao Haipeng came out of the west wing and said with concern.
Zhang Ning's face tightened and said: "No matter who he is, in short, he has saved my life." You don't use your professional vision to embarrass people everywhere, if it weren't for him, we would have been killed by someone by now, let alone find this notebook! ”
"Okay! Yes! Yes! I don't think he will wake up for a while, or I'll take you to eat something and come back soon. Zhang Ning had already gone hungry after walking such a long way, and the two of them walked through the barren adobe houses towards the village. There is a simple restaurant at the head of Daxing Village, and Zhao Haipeng wants to call Zhao Gang to inquire about the situation in the bureau. But Zhao Gang's mobile phone has been turned off, and Zhao Haipeng is tasteless and worried, and he rushed back to the old house after eating with Zhang Ning......
Zhang Ning didn't know Zhao Haipeng's doubts, and looked at him restlessly and comforted: "Haipeng, don't worry." Uncle Zhao may be busy with work or his mobile phone is out of battery? ”
"No, absolutely not. My old man is usually cautious, and it has been seven or eight hours since the morning. There must be something wrong, I want to go back to the city to see but I'm afraid that the kid in the back room is not authentic! Zhao Haipeng glared at Chen Mengsheng, who was still seated.
Zhang Ning smiled: "You can do things with peace of mind, if he wants to harm me, he won't save me a few times." Zhao Haipeng hesitated again and again, and finally left the pistol to Zhang Ning and hurriedly took a ride back to the city to investigate......
To tell the truth, Zhang Ning was alone in the face of a strange man, and his heart was always up and down, and with a gun in his hand, he was afraid that Chen Mengsheng would really be unfavorable to him when he woke up. Time passed silently, and the sun that had raged for a day gradually set in the west. Zhang Ning leaned on the bamboo bed with his eyelids fighting, if it weren't for Zhao Haipeng to let him stare at Chen Mengsheng, he would probably not be able to hold on......
"Uh......h Woo...... Woo ...... "The gap in the courtyard gate was faintly blown by the midsummer night wind, and Zhang Ning didn't know what time it was, but he felt a little bit of bone-chilling cool air under the dim light. I wanted to get up and close the door tightly, but I didn't expect that my feet were vain and weak, but I turned straight on my back and closed my eyes and fell, and the gun in my hand fell on the bamboo couch. Chen Mengsheng, who was sitting quietly on the ground, suddenly his eyebrows twitched, and his angry eyes widened, and he shouted: "Which evil way dares to make waves here!" ”
In addition to the light emitted by the tungsten lamp, Chen Mengsheng stood up and jumped up, reciting a mantra in his mouth, his hands clasped the trick, bit the tip of his tongue, and squirted out suddenly on the bamboo couch where Zhang Ning was lying. Zhang Ning woke up with a strange scream in his mouth, picked up the gun in his hand, closed his eyes tightly, and fired several shots at Chen Mengsheng......
The bullet brushed against Chen Mengsheng's cheeks and shoulders, leaving scars after burning, and he rubbed his body with his feet and said in a deep voice: "Miss Zhang, wake up quickly!" Zhang Ning's panicked heart suddenly had a sense of safety and peace, and when he slowly opened his eyes, he saw Chen Mengsheng holding his left hand against his forehead, raising the gun and shooting again in shock, but the bullets in the pistol were exhausted, and there was only a monotonous sound of firing pins......
"What are you going to do...... I'm a good person when you...... But you want to take advantage of me......" Zhang Ning shouted shy and anxious.
Zhang Ning looked at Chen Mengsheng's pale face incomprehensibly, cold sweat was dripping like a trickle, and just when Zhang Ning was in shock, Chen Mengsheng's right hand flashed out and pinched his broken arm tied with plaster. "Ahh ......" Zhang Ning's painful screams broke the silence of the night, if it weren't for the fact that there was no one within a radius of several miles here, he would have woken up the surrounding neighbors a long time ago.
Chen Mengsheng sighed with a long sigh with both hands, the corners of his lips were red and blood dripping in strings, and it was nearly dozens of minutes before Chen Mengsheng breathed and said, "Miss Zhang, don't be afraid, I have already used the Taoist outer door healing spell to connect the girl's bones." Miss Zhang was almost invaded by evil spirits, not because of my abrupt girl. ”
Zhang Ning was surprised to find that his broken arm could move except for a little swelling pain, which was incredible......
