At 0:53 a.m. on July 25, 2014, you went to the toilet, made yourself a pot of Biluochun and lit a stick of Laoshan sandalwood.

It's true that I can't stop it, no wonder I was the first on the list of new books last year, and it's normal for the porter to not understand it, and it must be a professor if he doesn't wear a pair of gold-rimmed glasses.

You think, even if you are a professor, you may not be able to really understand it.

It's too brain-burning, what does this author "Flower on the Other Side" want to say?

There is also Sheriff Li who said that there is a murderer in Xuancheng, and he is also called "The Flower of the Other Side"!

In the living room, there is a light and mellow smell of old mountain sandalwood, and the natural sweetness is flowing.

………………………………

You take a sip of tea and use your mobile phone to surf the Internet to Baidu "Other Shore Flower".

Manju Sawa is also known as the red flower (Lycorisradiata), also known as the "Shezi flower". It is a perennial herbaceous plant with spherical bulbs in the ground and dark brown membranous scales. The leaves are narrow, dark green, drawn from the base, and appear after the flowers in autumn.

The flowering period of Manju Sawa is late summer and early autumn, from July to September. The flower stem is 30-60 cm long, usually 4-6 flowers arranged in an umbrella shape, bearing at the tip of the flower stem, the petals are inverted-lanceolate, the perianth is red (there are also white-flowered varieties), the flower is curly backward, the edge is wrinkled and wavy, the tepal tube is very short; The stamens and columella are prominent, and the flower pattern is small, with a circumference of more than 6 cm. The flowers do not see the leaves, the leaves do not see the flowers, the flowers and leaves are not seen. This flower often grows in the cracks of stones and graves in the wild, so some people say that it is "the flower on the Huangquan Road". (Manju Sawa comes from a Buddhist scripture, which originally meant red lotus, and now the popular term "safflower lycoris" on the Internet comes from Japan.) ）

You are surprised, it turns out that the flowers on the other side refer to the flowers on the Huangquan Road.

Only then did you notice the message of "Flower on the Other Side" in the "No. 7 Classmate Group": "In the dead of night, who will toast to me?" ”

Isn't this sentence a famous quote that Gu Long, who writes martial arts novels, has been mentioning?

At this time, a rumor popped up, Xiaobin said: "Didn't you drink with Sima?" ”

Xiaohong said: "How can people say that they are drinking? ”

Xiaobin said: "At this point, Sima is not only drinking, but also drinking. ”

You smiled bitterly, didn't want to deal with them, picked up "The Past of Xuancheng", or continued to read comfortably.

"On November 3, 2017, after a few days of warm sunshine, the day was cloudy. There was some haze in the sky in the morning, just like London 140 years ago.

In the spring of the third year of Guangxu, the Qing army conquered Dabancheng, the gateway to southern Xinjiang, and recovered Turpan. In July, Liu Jintang's troops continued to advance westward, and on the first day of September, they recaptured the city of Karasar. Bai Yanhu broke through the water of the Du River to stop the Western Expeditionary Army, and on the third day of September, the Western Expeditionary Army crossed the flooded area and defeated Bai Yanhu on September 12.

At the end of October of this year, I was ordered by Zuo Zongtang to go to the UK alone to track down Bai Yanhu.

The first time I met Sherlock Holmes was on Montag Street, near the British Museum. On the corner of the street there is a small, old café. Professor Blair of Oxford brought in a young man, and he said to me, if you want to find someone in London, Sherlock Holmes Detective Lestrade and Gleeson will do.

On November 3, 1877, I spent an afternoon chatting with a young Englishman named Sherlock Holmes on Montag Street, London. At the time, he was dressed in white. ”

And Sherlock Holmes? You took a sip of Biluochun, if it weren't for Mrs. Li Rongrong not allowing you to smoke at home, you really wanted to have one.

You admire the author "The Flower of the Other Side", in just two chapters, not only modern back to ancient times to the future, there are science fiction and time-travel, and there are even characters in famous British detective novels.

………………………………

"On November 3, 1887, at dinner time in the thirteenth year of Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty, it rained lightly.

I was sitting at a riverside tavern in an ancient town called Longhua in Shanghai, looking at a trial issue called "Children's Pictorial".

It was published by the Tongshu Society, which was founded by foreign missionaries, consuls, and merchants in Shanghai at that time. This issue is just a trial issue, and the editor-in-chief means that I will help write a manuscript on children's education. I chewed peanuts and drank wine by the window, looked at the Longhua Port River flowing eastward, and remembered that on September 30, a month ago, the Yellow River was executed at the Xiaxun Shibao in Zhengzhou, and my heart could not be calm for a long time.

At the end of the pictorial there was a page on World Humanities Dynamics, and a short newsletter caught me about the famous British private detective Sherlock Holmes, who had fallen ill from a long period of overwork and went to Regate in Surrey to recuperate.

Famous private detective? I remembered that ten years ago, I asked him to find Bai Yanhu, and there was no follow-up, shaking my head and asking the assistant behind me with a smile, what is the situation of this Sherlock Holmes in the past few years?

My assistant, dressed in white, stood behind me and bowed, saying that when my husband came into contact with Sherlock Holmes ten years earlier, he had done nothing but to solve the Musgrave Rite case in 1879, and there was no record of solving the case for the next two years.

Then he must be very sloppy? I took a sip of wine and asked, the wine was a little astringent.

Yes, the assistant said, so in 1881 he shared a flat with Watson, a retired military doctor, at 221B Baker Street, for reasons of financial constraints. But since then, he has been like a divine help, and he has become famous for his research on the blood character, the class point tape, and the mystery of Regate.

Doctor Watson? For some reason, I suddenly felt my heart skip a beat, and said to my assistant, help me book a ticket to the UK, the sooner the better. There was a bang in the tavern, and a drunken man fell to the ground. I looked up at the clock hanging high behind the counter, at 7:11 p.m. on November 3, 1887. ”

When you see this, your heart moves, Watson, Watson, could it be that he is referring to a Chinese?

………………………………

"November 3, 1907, the eve of the 33rd Chinese New Year's Eve of Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty, sunny, moonlit, Beijing. I sat in the front row of Ping An Film Company, the first cinema in China at that time, and watched "Dingjun Mountain" filmed by Fengtai Photo Studio two years ago.

Beside me, sat an old man dressed as an English gentleman, with a beard on his lips and white hair.

At the end of the song, looking at the crowd leaving, I patted the gentleman's left shoulder and said, the play is over.

The old man looked at me with extremely respectful eyes, trembled and choked, thank you for arranging for me to go home. I said, I sent someone to investigate, the rebellion in southern Xinjiang was mainly due to the rebellion of the hungry people, and you tried to remove the local residents before breaking the water of the Du River to stop the enemy.

Yes, the old man said, I am Bai Yanhu. After the defeat of the army, I fled to India alone, and in the battle of Maiwand, I saved Watson, a doctor of the 5th Musket Regiment in Northumberland. Watson died of his injuries, and I took his place.

I shook my head, looked at the theater and said, you don't have to hide anything for Holmes. I know that you had fled to England at the time, and that is why I commissioned Sherlock Holmes to find you on Montag Street, London, on this day in 1877. Who would have thought that he would find you and become friends with you. The above experiences of the Indian battlefield, including the 221B Baker Street you shared in 1881, were all arranged by Sherlock Holmes, right?

It seems that I can't hide anything from you, Bai Yanhu said.

I shook my head, it wasn't me, it was him, and I pointed to my assistant, who was dressed in white, behind me. Since then, the uncanny valley, the four signatures, the Greek translator, and the lion's mane case in July this year, all the dozens of cases have actually been solved by you. The so-called detective Sherlock Holmes, but responsible for tracking and execution.

Bai Yanhu nodded and smiled bitterly, his tracking skills are unmatched, otherwise he would not have found me in the vast sea of Londoners back then. But what I don't understand is that I have never spoken a word of Chinese in the past 30 years, how do you deduce that I am Bai Yanhu?

Because your name is Watson, born in China, I said, 20 years ago today, when I saw a drunk man fall to the ground in a tavern in Shanghai, I suddenly had a flash of inspiration to understand this. Later, I went to London and confirmed that it was Sherlock Holmes who wanted you to stay in England.

Yes, Sherlock Holmes is finally retired, and I can finally go home. Bai Yanhu's eyes were full of vicissitudes, as if he was happy and sad.

On November 3, 1907, at midnight, it was a little cool. After seeing Bai Yanhu away, I walked on East Chang'an Street, and my assistant followed me in white clothes and pants.

I sighed and said, I didn't expect that the famous Sherlock Holmes would rely on Chinese to solve the case. The assistant said, "Not really, sir." Five years later, in the final salutation case, Holmes reappeared at the invitation of the prime minister. It took two years to carry out investigations in various parts of the United States and Ireland, and finally annihilated the German spy syndicate in one fell swoop. I looked back, looked at the man in white, was not happy or angry, and said, do you know what will happen in five years? ”

At the end of the second chapter, you half-lean on the couch in astonishment and stretch. It's really wonderful, and you're shocked by the author's ability to tell the story.

WeChat flashed, and Accountant Liu left a message to you: "I can't sleep, what are you doing?" ”

You are a little inexplicable, it's late at night, who is Accountant Liu?
