The Army on the West Pole Chapter 4 Adventures on Street Corners

The words on the handkerchief should not have been written randomly, at least I understood the first two sentences. "The army in the west, the accumulation of Zhaolie" should be related to Liu Bei, the emperor of Shu Han during the Three Kingdoms period. The grassroots emperor, who eventually ascended the throne in Sichuan after half his life, enjoys great prestige among the Chinese people. When ordinary people talk about Liu Bei, they always have the image of a good old man with tears on his face. Historical records record that Liu Bei is a hero who can fight and kill decisively. Chen Shou wrote a biography for him, and Fang wrote the comment of "the right to interfere with the strategy, not to catch Wei Wu", and later generations also talked about it with eloquence. Because of this, after his death, the ministers gave him the nickname "Zhaolie". Emperor Liu Bei of Zhaolie fought countless battles in his life, and the most famous of his subordinates was the Bai Yu soldier who was praised by Zhuge Liang as the "Western soldier".

The first two sentences are well documented, and they are generally about the origin of the white soldiers. Although the font of the last two sentences is simple, this karmic fire and Tianmen must not be understood literally. Before I could figure out why, a voice sounded beside me, "Can you show me this?" That old Yao didn't know when he slipped past the boss. The officer did not hand over the handkerchief, but just unfolded it to show Lao Yao.

"Do you understand?" The officer asked. Lao Yao shook his head, indicating that he couldn't understand, and turned to leave. I was next to him, but I could detect a look of mockery on his face.

Did he get it? Although this white soldier is an elite unit formed by Liu Bei, it is not well-known compared with the star troops of the same era, such as the tiger and leopard cavalry, the trapping camp, and the white horse Yicong. Later generations can only understand this army from the words in Zhuge Liang's letters, and even its commander Chen Zhi has only a few lines of records in the history books. Many people simply don't know that there was such a force in history. Those who can understand this meaning either love that period of history or have a deep historical foundation. Connecting yesterday's conversation with his boss, what happened to him in the office today, and all kinds of rumors about his boss, I can almost conclude that Lao Yao and his boss must have something to do with tomb robbing. Looking at Lao Yao's back, I asked the police officer next to me curiously: "Isn't he the target of suspicion?" Why didn't anyone take notes for him? ”

The officer smiled: "The young man still likes to do reasoning." That Mr. Yao has been with your boss since yesterday afternoon, and your boss has confirmed it just now. "Humph! I knew they had a secret between them. Before I can unmask my boss, I need to lock down the most important link in the chain of evidence.

"Excuse me, where did you find this handkerchief?" I continued to ask the police officer next to me. Judging by my years of experience reading novels, this handkerchief must have come from the chairman's office, but it needs to be confirmed by a police officer.

"The finance room." The officer replied without thinking.

"Where?"

"Finance Office!" The police officer was categorical.

Shovel shovel! Shouldn't something so unusual be pressed under the chairman's desk? The appearance of such white silk in the financial room is really a tyrannical thing. Comrade police officer, how can you continue my detective game by doing this!

Somehow, I was so upset. looked at the boss who was still making notes, with a mellow body and polite style, no matter how he looked at it, he didn't look like a material for stealing graves and digging graves. I'm afraid I'm overthinking it.

Hey, how nice it would be if you really touched Captain Kim!

After the inquest, the company's information documents and employees' personal property were not stolen. From this, the police officers deduced that the crime was a malicious retaliation against the company or individuals within the company. The newspapers and handkerchiefs seemed to them to be nothing more than smoke bombs to confuse the public, after all, such bizarre smoke bombs did not only appear in novels. For them, the case is not complicated, and only the monitoring of the property and the evidence collection on the scene can lock down and arrest the criminals. For me, it's time for the detective game to end, after all, mysterious codes only exist in fiction - think about it, not to mention the relationship between the boss and the tomb robbers, even my own reasoning is full of holes.

The boss didn't show too much surprise and anger. After more than ten years of ups and downs in the business sea, he has already been able to repair without being surprised. Due to the need for on-site investigation and post-disaster reconstruction, the boss decided to take a paid vacation for all employees for one month.

In Liu Chaoyang's words, there is great love after the catastrophe, and he can't wait to pull me down at the feet of the boss, and then offer a few words of sensual praise. I dismissed his childish thoughts and told him that instead of singing the praises at this time, it was better to leave before the boss took his life.

The sudden holiday can be a bit overwhelming, especially for someone like me. When I heard that my colleagues had already started to discuss the travel route, I realized that I would be a boring lonely soul for the next month.

"What are Jing Kejun's plans? It's a month's vacation. Liu Chaoyang came up and asked with a smile. The joy of the holiday makes his Mandarin extraordinarily standard.

"I don't plan to, I don't know where to go. What are Chaoyangjun's plans? "When faced with a long vacation, I found myself to be a slightly boring person, and all I could think about was playing games, reading novels, sleeping in, and so on.

Liu Chaoyang said that he didn't have any plans, and originally wanted to go home to visit relatives, but his parents should be working in Beijing now, and there is nothing to visit when they go home. "Then you can go to Beijing to see them, and by the way, you can also visit Harbin Beijing." I can understand the feeling of being adrift away from my parents.

Chaoyang Jun waved his hand and said, "I'll go, I'll let them worry about eating, drinking, and Lazar." Besides, consumption in Beijing is quite expensive, and my salary is definitely not enough. I saw tears welling up in the corners of his eyes.

July 12, 2014

My hometown, Nanchuan, was called Longhua in ancient times (not the place where Dong Cunrui sacrificed himself to bomb the bunker), and it was one of the gateways to Guizhou in Bashu in the old days. Although it has experienced thousands of years of vicissitudes, it is still a little-known small city in southwest China.

After two days in Panhuan, Chongqing, I invited Liu Chaoyang to my hometown. After settling in, I asked him to go around the city. The city of Nanchuan is not big, and there are no attractions to play in the city. In my opinion, talking about cultural heritage with Henan people is always an axe in the class. As we walked, we turned to the ruins of a city wall.

"This is a cultural relic of Nanchuan, and it is said to have a history of several hundred years." I pointed to the stone monument erected next to the road and introduced it to Chaoyangjun. Thinking about offering ugliness and ugliness in my heart, your side is thousands of years old, and we can't afford to provoke it. When he turned around, Chaoyangjun was stunned at the houses built on the ruins of the city wall.

I was at a loss for what to do, and I was thinking about how to resolve the embarrassment. I heard someone shouting loudly not far away, causing passers-by to stop and watch. I hurriedly brought Chaoyangjun to see the excitement, if you continue to look in front of this ruins, I can't explain to the local cultural bureau.

There were already a lot of people around the corner, and a man was standing in front of the store, holding a stick, shouting loudly, as if to drive something. This is a shop that collects antiques, saying that it collects antiques, but in fact, more objects are commemorative medals from the sixties and seventies of the last century or a few Yuan heads. The man who shouted loudly should be the owner of the shop. Chaoyangjun and I squeezed through the crowd and found that there was a person curled up at the man's feet, unkempt but I don't know if it was dirty, and his body was tattered, as if he was asking for food.

"If you have a sa, just say it, don't beat people! Look what you've done with the other one. "There is persuasion from the righteous.

"I didn't beat him, I just drove him out." The shopkeeper hastened to explain.

"Say it well. Although others are suing Hanako (called Hanako), you shouldn't treat people like this, not authentic! "For the bullying of the poor, the people of Nanchuan still have a sense of justice.

Seeing the excitement of the crowd, the shopkeeper quickly put away his crutches and explained to everyone with a bitter face: "I'm not bullying him." Just now he brought a Buddha statue to me, and pushed it on me, probably to sell it to me. I asked him where he was from, and he didn't say; When I asked him where the things came from, he still wouldn't say. I think it's an old thing, so I don't know where he stole it. All of you said that if I accept it, the police will come to the door two days later, and I will have to bear a charge of selling stolen goods. "I still look down on the poor between words. What's wrong with the beggar, Zhu Yuanzhang still wants to eat!

After listening to the shopkeeper's words, I realized that the man on the ground had a stone statue in his hand. In the spirit of watching the excitement and not being afraid of death, I squatted down and said to the man, "Can you show me your things?" ”

The man looked up, and sure enough, he had a face of dirt and obvious blood stains on his cheeks. He looked me up and down, but didn't answer, but held the statue in his arms for me to see. It is said to be a stone statue, but it is actually a relief. Although the damage is severe in some places, the carved figures can still be seen in general detail. With a human face and horns, barefoot and fangs, and six hands each holding a weapon, they glared angrily ahead, and they were very mighty. This carving is not a god or Buddha, it should be some kind of yaksha or vajra.

"It's still quite realistic. You say yes, Jing Kejun. Liu Chaoyang leaned over and looked at the carving carefully. I asked Chaoyangjun if he saw anything, and he shook his head.

"How much do you sell this?" I also owe it, and the moonlight clan still asks the price with a shy face. He still didn't speak, but kept looking at me, probably thinking that I didn't have the money to buy the idol in his hand.

Listening to my inquiry about the price, the boss hurriedly urged us to find another place to trade, not to hinder him from doing business, otherwise we would call the police. As soon as he heard the alarm, the man on the ground struggled to get up and leave. It can be seen that he has a problem with his leg. The old lady next to her couldn't see it, and hurriedly reached out to help him up. While helping back, he persuaded: "You are also a poor baby." Since people don't accept it in the store, you can leave. You see the lad has asked the price, or you can sell it to him. ”

"Yes, yes, yes. Or listen to the old man's words. The shopkeeper nodded frequently, and his expression changed from innocent to gloating, "Young man, you can be a good person." But don't say I didn't warn you, this person's identity is suspicious, maybe it's a thief. He stole it. Otherwise, he will run away as soon as he hears that I call the police! ”

The beggar hugged the idol and glared at the boss. He looked at me again, at the crowd, and then stretched out five fingers and shook them vigorously.

"Five thousand?" I don't dare to ask for five digits. Thinking that all my savings are less than three thousand dollars, I really regret my inquiry. What should I do if he does sell me!

He waved his hand and babbled out of his mouth, not wanting him to be mute. Someone next to him persuaded him to hurry up with 5,000 yuan. He was unmoved, babbling and gesturing something. I was about to ask, but he suddenly turned his back, tried to find a way through the crowd, took the idol, turned a street corner and disappeared.

The people remained on the ground and looked at each other, and some said that he was a thief; Some say he is pitiful; There are also those who shout that they should call the police (why didn't you call the police just now). I was about to leave with Chaoyangjun, still thinking about the statue of the god. It occurred to me that I had seen a similar shape in a certain book: a head with six hands, horns and fangs......

It should be the legendary "soldier master" Chiyou!
