Chapter 10: Climbing Mountains Together?

"That's good! That's it, I'll prepare with the bamboo pole, have a meal at noon, and we'll set off in the afternoon. ”

Wu Tiansheng had already thought it through. Yunnan has a mild climate all year round, and it is very easy to breed some birds and animals, and it is inevitable that you will encounter some terrible things when the time comes. This line must be more auspicious, so I arranged for a bamboo pole to buy two rifles from the archaeological team, and the most important thing was the hooves of the black donkey. Since you want to go to the grave, shovels, candles, and other things are necessary. Wu Tiansheng was a captain who touched gold, and these things were strange to him, but they were very familiar. Because he has only been to the tomb once so far, that is, when his master taught him experience, he went down to the tomb to take one thing.

A group of six people took a bus to Yunnan. Wasn't it originally five people? How did this sixth man come about? After learning about it, I learned that the new girl was Professor Sun's daughter and a magazine reporter, and she wanted to go to Yunnan with them to take some photos for use as materials.

The first place they came to was Lijiang. The so-called water revolves around the city, the city is built according to the water, the mountains and rivers depend on each other, the water is the soul of Lijiang, and the bridge is the spirit of the ancient city. As soon as they got out of the car, they were wandering in the streets of the four directions, and suddenly there was a light rain, the raindrops were like weaving, dripping, knocking on the rhythm of the green tiles of the wooden buildings, so that the ancient city was dyed in a cloud of mist, like a splashed ink painting of the water town in the south of the Yangtze River. In the painting, a Naxi woman carries a burden, steps on the rain, crosses a small stone bridge, crosses an alley, and mottles the notes soaked in the water. The fresh breath makes people pound.

"What the hell it's raining again." , the bamboo pole complained.

Wu Tiansheng made a suggestion: "Professor Sun, you see that it is raining so hard now, and we have been in the car for so long, why don't we find a place to rest first." ”

"Comrade Xiao Wu is right, everyone is tired, let's find a place to rest first." Professor Sun agreed.

The inns here are very different from those in Beijing. This is an old house, and after the baptism of the years, deep wrinkles have been carved on the face. Compared with the Beijing Inn, its advantages are simple and quiet, long and intimate, ancient and soft. The white walls of the colorful years depict the cracks of old age, and they are even more slippery when they are wet by the rain.

Everyone was resting, and Wu Tiansheng was always a little uneasy, so he casually walked around the front and back of the house. There was a large heavy wooden door in front of the house, and he involuntarily knocked on the smooth brass ring on the door, but no one answered on the other end of the door.

"Old Wu, are you here too, do you want to have tea together?" , the bamboo pole carried the teapot, found a place to shelter from the rain and sat down.

Wu Tiansheng sighed soothingly, and sat down with the bamboo pole: "Usually look at your big grin, you are quite good at living; It's not like me, I haven't mixed up anything for a few years, and in the end, I'm almost forgetting the joy of life, probably because I'm numb. ”

The bamboo pole poured good tea for Lao Wu, handed it to him, and comforted: "In fact, life is as complicated as you think, as long as you are happy, then it is good, you don't have to care about anything else, you care so much, and in the end, what is the use of making you unhappy." ”

Wu Tiansheng took a sip of tea, and chirped: "Huh? This tea is very delicious, and it is very cool in the mouth after drinking. ”

"No, I don't want to see what kind of tea this is."

After drinking the tea, the two began to talk about business.

Wu Tiansheng asked softly, "I suspect that Professor Sun has a problem. ”

The tea that had just been swallowed squirted out of the mouth of the bamboo pole, he wiped his mouth, and said with a puzzled face: "What are you talking about?" Professor Sun has a question? Why? ”

"You be quiet", Wu Tiansheng explained close to the ear of the bamboo pole, which made the bamboo pole wary of Professor Sun.

Darkness gradually filled the sky, countless stars broke through the night, and the night moisture permeated the air, diffusing an atmosphere of fear of the unknown.

When they woke up the next morning, they were about to leave when they found that Professor Sun was missing.

I rummaged inside and outside the house and didn't find it, now Wu Tiansheng panicked, his painting was still with Professor Sun, it couldn't be that he ran away with the painting himself.

The bamboo pole approached Wu Tiansheng and said, "His grandmother has legs, it seems that you are right, this Professor Sun does have a problem." ”

When Wu Tiansheng was about to go out to look for it, Professor Sun came back with a few flower cakes and milk.

Professor Sun stared at them with a confused expression: "Why are you all up?" I haven't eaten breakfast yet, come, I got up early to buy flower cakes and milk, you eat quickly, and only after eating can you have the strength to continue on your journey. ”

But they looked at each other, and they were all there, which was quite embarrassing.

Professor Sun put the things on the table, and when he saw that they were only staring at him, he didn't move, so he said, "Come and eat, what's wrong?" Hungry and stupid? ”

Wu Tiansheng was the first to come to his senses, walked to Professor Sun's side, picked up a flower cake, took a bite, and nodded: "Well, yes, you all come and taste it, the cake that Professor Sun bought is so fragrant, if you don't come again, I'll finish it by myself." ”

The bamboo pole licked his lips and ran over with a smile: "It's coming, it's coming." He picked up a cake and devoured it, "Don't say it, it's really good." ”

Professor Sun saw that the brothers were eating well, and a kind smile appeared on his face, which reminded Wu Tiansheng of his father. I still remember when I was a child, my family was poor, and every time I ate, my father always let me eat first, and then my father ate the rest of his own. Now that he has grown up, his father died as a soldier on the battlefield. Wu Tiansheng's suspicion of Professor Sun began to decline, and sometimes he wondered if he was wrong. The main thing at the moment is to go to Ailao Mountain and get what you want, as for other things, I don't have the heart to go down and think about it.

"You're all full." Professor Sun came out of the house, he had already prepared everything by himself, and was waiting for the large army to set off.

The hazy distant mountains, shrouded in a light veil, are full of shadows, flickering far and near in the misty clouds and smoke. It's like a few light strokes of ink, smeared on the blue sky. The peaks and peaks are stacked, the clear water is like a mirror, the green mountains are floating in the water, and the reflection is fluttering.

"This is Ailao Mountain?" , literature and art were fascinated by the beautiful scenery in front of her, and she happily pointed to Professor Sun's daughter Xu Xinyi: "Look at it, how beautiful it is there, take a picture of it, take it and take it back to the magazine, you will definitely make a lot of money." ”

Xu Xinyi smiled awkwardly and said, "Beautiful, it's beautiful." ”。

"Professor Sun, when are we going to start climbing up?" , Wu Tiansheng asked.

Professor Sun looked at Ailao Mountain and said meaningfully: "Start immediately!" ”
