Chapter 26: Diary

Chen Ran stood in front of the stone and showed himself like a weightlifter, then adjusted his posture and lifted the stone, just when I thought he was going to throw it, he lifted the stone and jumped left three times, and right three times.

I didn't understand what he meant, so when he finished jumping, he asked, "What are you doing here?" ”

He smiled, "Pray I can make a good throw." ”

I was a little speechless, so I didn't speak, and waited for him to move. When Chen Ran lifted the stone again and was about to make a desperate bet, the old wine outlet interrupted him.

"Wait, there's still a problem!" Lao Jiu hurriedly said.

He walked in and looked at the rest of the six pieces carefully, then looked up and said, "This is an endgame, you see that these chess pieces have lines under them, and they should be restored by us." ”

Chen Ran and I took a closer look, and sure enough, each chess piece had different lines under it. I casually pushed the piece on my right, and it reset itself. Chen Ran and I pushed five chess pieces, but the last one couldn't be pushed.

The rotten master said that this might be the original appearance of the chessboard, and I stood next to it and wanted to learn, but the rotten master told me to stand over a little and not get in the way of others. I snorted coldly, the problem of rotten master looking down on people is here again, although I don't know anything about chess, but don't you allow others to have the heart to learn?

I scolded in my heart, but I still stepped back a little, leaving room for Chen Ran to give full play. As a result, just after I sneezed a person, Chen Ran solved the puzzle.

As soon as I looked up, I saw the Dan furnace in the middle retreating backwards, revealing a dark passage. Before I could react when I touched the back of my head, Chen Ran began to cheer. I asked Master Fu with black lines on my face, "Did I miss something just now?" ”

Master Fu patted me on the shoulder to express sympathy, pursed his lips again, and said regretfully: "Some things are just between lightning and flint. ”

I hung my head and could only accept my fate. Chen Ran didn't have the eyesight to answer: "Brother Huai, you want to learn from what I teach you, as long as you teach me to read the Book of Changes." ”

I don't think this deal is cost-effective, and besides, what kind of thing is the Book of Changes, how can I, a half-asser, understand it? However, Chen Ran has this thought, and it is good to learn feng shui.

I replied, "I thank you for looking up to me, but to be honest I don't understand either." Chen Ran was a little dissatisfied with my answer, frowned, and said in surprise: "How come? Aren't you pretty good? ”

I didn't know if he was saying the opposite, so I put on an indifferent attitude and said, "Some things still depend on talent." ”

I know that in fact, he has always regarded me as his role model, and he has to look up to me in everything, but his actions are very childish in my eyes.

I stepped over the rocks and crouched down in front of the dry corpse. His face was sunken, but his nails were still growing, and they were already long.

I touched my stomach and jaw, which were deflated, indicating that there was nothing else in my body. That's when I was relieved.

Standing up and clasping his hands together at him, he made two Chen Ran movements to stop me, his eyes stared at the dry corpse and said, "Brother Huai, do you see if there is something there?" I opened my eyes and looked in the direction that Chen Ran was pointing.

I saw a horn peeking out of the shabby robe. Chen Ran and I looked at each other, then reached out and unwrapped our clothes. It looked like a notebook, and I took it out and shook the ash on it and flipped through it.

Most of the characters on it were no longer legible, but I flipped through a few pages and saw traditional characters such as date and time.

I preliminarily deduced that this was a diary, Chen Ran called the rotten master and the old wine over, and the four of us read the contents of the book with flashlights.

Because Lao Jiu was illiterate, he just came over to take a look at it and walked away, sitting aside and waiting for us to analyze.

After I flipped through the pages and read a few articles, he asked me, "Why does this look so much like a diary?" ”

As soon as Master Rot's words came out, I was more sure of my thoughts. I looked at the dried corpse and then looked at the notebook in my hand, and an assumption appeared in my mind, but I didn't dare to say anything.

In order to verify the idea in my heart, I handed the notebook to Chen Ran, and went back to continue studying the dried corpse.

My gut told me that something important must have been missed.

I took a closer look from top to bottom with my flashlight. When he swept his eyes to his left hand, he found that he was in the shape of a fist, and he seemed to be holding something in his hand.

I put the flashlight aside and freed my hand to break his left hand.

It should be something important to this man, and he holds it in his left hand. It took me a lot of effort to break it open, and I picked it up and looked at it in my hand, it was a military merit medal.

The medal is a few years old, but it still looks clean and new, which shows that its owner cherished it during his lifetime.

I rubbed my index finger against the sun symbol in the middle, and I always felt like I had seen this medal somewhere.

I turned my head to think about it, and just as I was in a trance, the rotten master came over and patted me on the shoulder, and then saw the medal in my hand snatched it away.

I looked at the rotten master in confusion, he glanced at it a few times, and there was shock in his eyes: "Isn't this a Blue Sky and White Sun Medal?" ”

I remember it when the rotten master said this, it is the Blue Sky and White Sun Medal. A long time ago, it was reported that this medal appeared at the Hong Kong auction with a reserve price of 2.8 million Hong Kong dollars, but it was unsold due to authenticity. A year later, the medal sold for HK$7.2 million (about RMB5.6 million).

Lao Jiu was even more excited when he heard us say this, he said that he had heard of this object in his time, but he didn't expect to be able to see it in his lifetime, and Lao Jiu said that it was a dream come true.

Chen Ran saw that we were more and more excited one by one, and he couldn't hold back a little: "What's this? You're all excited. I smiled, and sure enough, history is Chen Ran's shortcoming.

I had a good eye to pull him over before he was about to knock him on the head again and said, "This medal is awarded to meritorious military personnel who defend their families and defend the country against foreign aggression.

The earliest winner is Zhang Xueliang, up to now a total of 210 people, including 166 in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, everyone is familiar with Xue Yue, Sun Liren, Wang Yaowu, Bai Chongxi and other famous generals, all obtained at this time. ”

Chen Ran nodded with a look of adoration: "These are all big shots!" ”

Then I changed my words: "But there are also some people who have become traitors and traitors, like the Fifth Cavalry Division of the Northeast Army in the Great Wall Anti-Japanese War, the division commander Li Fuhe." After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, he became the first person to openly defect to the enemy, which was simply the greatest insult to the recipients of the medal at that time. ”

Hearing this estimated aroused Chen Ran's patriotism again, and he said angrily: "Damn, these people are simply a great shame for our country. His words aroused everyone's empathy.

In order to further determine the identity of the dried corpse, we put our eyes back on the diary, which I think is a major breakthrough.
