Standing alone in the yard, smoking cigarettes one after another, letting the wind blow on his face, tears fell to the ground one by one, and suddenly felt that he had fallen into a desperate and suffocating mystery, looking at the things that his grandfather had used in front of him, a fire was lit, the flames were burning, and his grandfather's shadow gradually disappeared.

I went back to the old house and continued to rummage through my grandfather's things, and got into a house full of miscellaneous items, and when I went in, I saw a quilt that my grandfather had covered on the top of the eaves.

Pulling out the worn-out quilt, a puff of dust blew on my face, and I coughed a few times, but my hand touched a square object, remembering that the old people had a tradition of sewing valuable things into the quilt.

Could this be something that was once important to grandpa? I didn't think much of it and tore it with my hands, and the sewing was quite tight, which confirmed my guess even more.

I took a pair of scissors from the room and opened them, and when I opened the square object, a copy of Zou Baba's notes was revealed, and I hurriedly took them back to the room to see what had been written.

The notebook style is old, tattered, I shook off the dust, opened it, the pages have been yellowed but I can see the words clearly, see that the notebook was used by my grandfather, there is a national emblem on it, a few yellowed large characters read: archaeological record book.

Curious, I turned the first page and looked at the date, which was written thirty years ago

January 2, 1980

We drove for almost half a month, and finally rushed from Beijing to Yunnan, the journey of 3,000 miles is really not easy, but fortunately we can arrive tomorrow, we have not slept much for many days. But everyone was very excited, because if this tomb was unveiled, it would cause an uproar in the archaeological community, and even people's perceptions of the world would change.

January 3, 1980

The weather in Yunnan is really cold enough, the wind and snow all the way are overwhelmingly falling, fortunately, it is finally to the village, no need to set up a tent on the mountain to live, the three-eyed village chief is young but has a steady temperament, it is really rare, I want him to join the archaeological team but he refuses, saying that he insists on guarding the village, fortunately, He Xiangu does not know what he said to him and finally agreed to let us enter the mountain, don't write first, this way is too tired to rest early and prepare to enter the mountain tomorrow.

January 5, 1980

After walking for a day and a night on the mountain road, he finally arrived at the mountain, and the three-eyed village chief said that behind the mountain in front of him was the Candle Dragon Ridge, but after saying that, he left himself, and he didn't care about him, this was originally what our archaeological team did, and he didn't understand it when he let him in.

As we walked along the mountain, we picked up a large piece of gold on the way, and all seven of us jumped up with excitement when we dug it up. But when I gathered in the evening, I found that there was one person missing, we had seven people in our team plus me, how could there be one person missing all of a sudden, no one alive or dead, no corpse, everyone thought that he ran away with the gold, but it was too late to find such a big mountain, so I would rest today and look for it tomorrow.

January 6, 1980

Today we did not go to Candle Dragon Ridge, but to look for the missing person, along the way actually picked up another piece of gold, a group of us were surprised and happy, six people hurriedly dug out the piece of gold, but the bad news is that after looking for a day, we did not find the missing person.

At first I thought they were joking and hiding, but I asked each of them, and they said that when the six people dug up the gold, the person holding the gold suddenly disappeared, and I began to feel that things were too strange and wanted to leave here, but He Xiangu told me that they were all right, and they just ran away with the gold.

January 10, 1980

We have been in the mountains for the past few days, and after the seventh day, only me and He Xiangu were left, He Xiangu comforted me and said that they all love money and dig up gold and run away, but I think this place is too strange and weird, and I want He Xiangu to leave here with me as soon as possible, but He Xiangu insists on refusing to go to the cave on the Candle Dragon Ridge to see, no girl is afraid of what I am afraid of! I can only bite the bullet and go up the mountain with her tomorrow to have a look.

I continued to flip through the yellowed notebook, but the back of the page was torn off by someone for some reason, the content of the note once again mentioned the strange incident that happened to my grandfather in the depths of the mountains of Yunnan thirty years ago, but the details did not explain half a sentence, I want to continue to look for some clues, but there is nothing else behind it except some archaeological measurements.

This thing suddenly became even more bizarre, what the hell is going on here, who is the three-eyed village chief? What kind of tomb would make the archaeological team consider a major discovery? How can a person disappear in a day? Besides, where did the gold come from? What is the place of Candle Dragon Ridge recorded in the notes?

These questions suddenly became involved in my mind, just when I had a headache, I suddenly remembered the note left by the second uncle for me, it seems that the second uncle also expected that I would be involved in this strange matter, this second uncle really made me even more puzzled, I quickly took out my mobile phone and dialed the phone on the note.

After a while, a familiar voice came from the phone: "If you want to know, bring the photo and go to Yunnan to find He Xiangu to propose." ”

Before I could react, there was a sound of dooting and hanging up on the phone, and I was stunned for a moment, looking at the phone stupidly for three minutes.

Light a cigarette and think about things while smoking, this grandfather has just passed away, how can the second uncle still be in the mood to let me go to propose, and how will the second uncle know that I didn't tear up the photo?

But thinking about the second uncle's character of talking and doing things, there must be a reason for saying this, and the most likely thing is that the second uncle went to Yunnan with his father to find He Xiangu to investigate the matter.

He Xiangu! I was stunned for a moment, and I suddenly gasped in my heart, and I couldn't help but think of my grandfather's note just now, this matter is really too strange, I must investigate this matter and let my grandfather's death have an explanation.

Looking at this once familiar house, I felt shuddering at this time, this room exuded an eerie atmosphere, no wonder grandpa didn't stay at home often, as if there were a pair of invisible eyes staring at me in this unoccupied room.

After packing my luggage, it was already dark, so I had to buy a ticket for the next day, and I didn't dare to stay here at night, so I had to go to a hotel in the city to stay, and simply went to the hotel to have a good night's sleep, and the next day I stepped on the train from Hebei to Yunnan.

This time I went to Yunnan alone, because it was the tourist season, so I bought a bullet train ticket, but when I got to the car, I didn't see many people, although my seat was a seat of four people, but at this time I was alone, the car drove to Beijing and scattered dozens of people, all carrying a lot of luggage in their hands, dressed up relatively ground, it seems that they should be people who work back to their hometowns.
