Next is the vigorous *****, up the mountain and to the countryside, my father in the countryside honestly as a few years of educated youth, in 1977 to resume the college entrance examination, in Xiaoping Comrade "voluntary examination, strict examination, merit-based admission" under the twelve-character policy, that year was admitted to a normal college, after the end of the county in Chongqing as a language teacher, and then met my mother, and then had my brother and me.

Everyone calls me Chen Erwa, my real name is Chen Dongliang, yes, the family wants me to become a pillar like my grandfather, I am not like my brother, I am really not a reading material, fortunately I caught up with the college entrance examination for the first time to expand the enrollment of a third-rate university, I don't know what happened in the past few years of college, my father became obsessed with collecting, all kinds of altars and jars, jade porcelain bottles, calligraphy and paintings are placed in all corners of the house, our place, in the past, were all wild places said by the imperial court, in fact, I really can't receive any good things, they are all some earthen kiln things, I remember once receiving a baby, the blue and white porcelain vase of Ming Jiajing, my dad was happy, called to consult, the expert said that if it is true, at least 380,000, in that Shanghai housing prices are still 4, 5000 in the era, it is undoubtedly sky-high. The result ran outside an identification, fake. It hurt me to change the color screen, and Nokia's fantasy was also ruined. However, this time and again, long-term illness has become a good doctor, and I have bought too many fakes, and I have slowly practiced some real kung fu, and I am still famous in our small county, and from time to time I still show people the goods in our local area.

Anyone who likes to collect will more or less know some ground rats (our name for tomb robbers over there). Sometimes ground rats will come to the door to sell, or help to see the goods, I don't like these people, I always feel that these people are thieves, there is a yin air. That time was supposed to be the night of the summer vacation, my parents ran out to play mahjong, I played red alert at home, I heard someone outside the yard keep calling my dad, I pushed the window upstairs to see, it was a mouse, I said my dad was not there, the mouse did not go, let me go and call Mr. Chen back, said that there was something for him to see.

I reluctantly called my dad home, and then I saw that the ground mouse was a large woven pocket and a small woven pocket, and it turned out to be the same thing, a bronze disc, covered with green rust and earth, and the outer layer was a large number of quaint patterns, and the top was sawn off flush.

I don't want my dad to see it, I think it's a real thing, my dad just looked at it and was heartbroken, how can this Nima be sawed off, the baby is all destroyed, my dad asked where the thing came from, and the ground rat only revealed that it was from Xiangxi for a long time. My dad is also very strange, Xiangxi has not heard of this level of bronzes, from the base, this bronze utensils are at least more than one meter high, at least the princes' level tombs can be unearthed this level of things, of course, my dad is also lonely, in the third year, I found nearly 36,000 bamboo slips of the Qin Dynasty in Liye Town, where my grandfather had an accident, but at that time my dad could not know.

At that time, my father had been playing antiques for a few years, and he knew that the bronze trade was illegal, but he still couldn't help but ask how much the ground mouse was sold, and the ground mouse would ask for 80,000 yuan when he opened his mouth. My dad was already very dissatisfied with this kind of behavior, and in the nineties of the last century, 80,000 yuan was not a huge amount of money, and it was also something that ordinary families needed to weigh for a long time before they could consider it. Later, the business was not done, so the ground mouse asked my father to help him introduce buyers, my father was unwilling, how many years have passed, every time he talks about that incident, the old man is still as sad as he was back then.

Later, when I graduated from college, it was not so easy for college students to find a job, and they went everywhere to ask for relationships and give gifts. I didn't do it for half a day, and after graduating, I had nothing to do to play around in our county, and from time to time I went to my mother's supermarket to help.

This day happened to be me coming out of my mother's supermarket, about to go home for a nap, suddenly a person patted me on the shoulder, it turned out to be my junior high school friend Zhou Quan, Tuesday Mao. This kid went to study in other places with his parents who worked seven or eight years ago, and then slowly contacted less, this time on Tuesday Mao had a distant uncle who was a small leader in the county, and this time he also came back to find a job, I haven't seen him for a few years, this kid has grown into a strong boy of one meter seven or eight.

The two of them went to a tavern to drink some wine, and talked about the history of the revolutionary, lamenting that the world is really cold, I asked: "What are your plans for the kid recently", Tuesday Mao sighed and said: "I have no power and no money, my relatives are avoiding you, I am a technical school student, this job seems to be unfound." I could only comfort him and said, "Living people can still make urine to death, it's really not possible, let's do some small business together." The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional, and on Tuesday Mao became happy and said: "Yes, isn't it much better for us to do a small business by ourselves than to work in the unit?" ”

I wanted to slap myself, and I prevaricated: "Business is not easy to do now, and the competition is too big, so we have to find someone with less competition." ”

Tuesday Mao took a sip of wine and said, "What's the competition?" The stalls selling rice and tofu on the street are all one by one, and now there is little competition. ”

I didn't know what kind of business competition was small, and I didn't want to do business at all, so the two of them had their own thoughts, and after a drink, they dispersed.

Unexpectedly, a few days later, Mao came to me again on Tuesday. Anyway, it's idle, the two of them sit on the sofa at my house and watch TV, which is sometimes such a coincidence, in the 90s, TV just started to be popular with that kind of treasure show, I don't know if you still remember, Tuesday Mao sighed: "If there is a valuable antique at home, what kind of class do you go to?" I said, "There are so many antiques that belong to my own family, and many of them are dug up." ”

On Tuesday, Mao asked: "What is dug up, and where can I dig antiques?"

I smiled and said, "Dig up from the grave." ”

On Tuesday, Mao was excited and said, "Then how do you dig it?" ”

I said, "Tomb robbers." There are a lot of people like this now. ”

On Tuesday, Mao suddenly fell into contemplation as if he was inspired, and suddenly slapped his thigh for a long time: "Oh, that's it, digging ancient tombs!" If you can find one or two valuable things from the ancient tomb, won't you make a lot of money? ”

I pointed to the bottles and cans in the room, and said, "Look, this is my old man's collection, what good goods can we have in this place, and it is not the ancient capitals of Beijing and Xi'an." ”

On Tuesday, Mao's originally excited heart suddenly calmed down again, and said: "Alas, this is also to blame for not being reincarnated well, and being born to these mountain card heads." In ancient times, there weren't even two decent people in this place, so it seems that this bowl of rice can't be eaten."

I thought for a while and said: "Actually, it's not, you see that there is a paradise in the county next to us recently, Qin Shi Huang admires the widow Qing so much, and it is said that the mercury in the mausoleum and the underground palace is all transported by us." ”

On Tuesday, Mao immediately became interested again and asked, "Then you mean that there is still something to do here?" ”

I don't know if I want to do it or not, because I really don't have much interest in that kind of thing.

On Tuesday, Mao said: "You are a college student, you know more than me, is there anything in this Wuling Mountain area?" ”

I laughed, I'm a third-rate college student, and I don't study this major, how do I know if I have done it.

On Tuesday, Mao glanced at me and joked: "Your baby is still called Chen Dongliang, what kind of pillar have you become, you just have a little fur from your grandfather!" ”

I didn't bother to pay attention to him, I watched Brazil play the Netherlands in the World Cup last night, and I played a penalty kick in extra time, and it was early in the morning after watching it, and I was ready to sleep to make up for my sleep. I said you take your time, I'll squint for a while.

On Tuesday, Mao was still very interesting, so much so that later we all called him the prophet emperor, and said something that I still admire: "Brazil can't do it, Ronaldo is watery, and France has to win the championship." ”

To be honest, at least at that time, at least few friends around me were optimistic about France, and the key was that he also said that Ronaldo was water. Later, there were a few things that were all said by him, which made us admire.

I went to my bedroom to sleep, and he sat there watching the CCTV-5 replay of the game, and I actually still had that unpleasant question in my heart, to be honest, I kind of hated my name, Cheng Dongliang, and now it sounds like a joke. Alas...

As soon as I got into bed, I remembered my grandfather, the family always used his grandfather to educate us, my brother listened to it, after graduating from Fudan, he stayed in Shanghai to work in a foreign company, and now the family has another magic weapon to suppress me.

I didn't bother to think about it, tilted my head and fell asleep, and suddenly my brain was like electricity, I may not be able to describe it, but it was such a flash of inspiration, and I suddenly sat up. I remembered my grandfather's exploration notebook.
