When I went back that night, I had no sleep, tossing and turning. After thinking about it a lot, I felt that this was an opportunity, so why not open my eyes? But I thought that in case there was any danger, I didn't have a girlfriend yet, in fact, I didn't want my parents to worry anymore.

After thinking about it all night, curiosity finally overcame fear, and I decided to follow the so-called Western Sichuan Culture Research Team to see if there was any accident, and I believed that I would be able to save the day.

Early the next morning, I went straight to Lao Yang's office.

said to Lao Yang: "Brother Yang, I want to follow the Western Sichuan Culture Research Team for a walk." ”

Lao Yang extinguished the cigarette in his hand and said with a serious face: "Xiao Ling, I know you are interested in antiques and utensils, but you have to think clearly that this is not a dinner invite." There may be some surprises. So, think about it first. ”

I raised my head slightly, straightened my chest and said: "Revolutions have sacrifices, but we should carry forward the spirit of not being afraid of hardships and sacrifices, and contribute our meager strength to the discovery of western Sichuan culture." ”

Lao Yang was made to cry and laugh by my action, and continued: "Okay, okay, you little baby can really say, I'll call over there and explain your situation." ”

I happily said, "I sincerely accept the test of the organization. ”

Then he said a few flattering words to Lao Yang, and left Lao Yang's office.

The next morning, Lao Yang called me to his office and said, "That's there, you can do it." ”

Then he said, "There are still two people left on their side, you see if you have any friends with you." ”

I thought about it for a while, it's okay to find a friend I am familiar with, otherwise I will become a commander of the light pole there, and maybe I will be controlled by others. However, after graduation, except for a little contact with Fat Brother and Zhengzi, everyone else has already worked, and it is estimated that there are no older unemployed young people like me.

So, I contacted Fat Brother and Zhengzi with the attitude of giving it a try, but they were both out of town for a while and couldn't come to Chengdu, so I talked to them on the phone. I hung up the phone, thinking that this was a bit difficult. I suddenly remembered calling my mom last week, and she said that my primary school classmate Chen Dacang had no serious career recently and had been working as a temporary worker on the construction site.

Chen Cannon's real name is Chen Jun, and when he was a child, he often magnified the cannon in front of the teacher, so he was nicknamed "Chen Cannon". Speaking of this buddy, he is also quite righteous. Every time I think of skipping class with him when I was a child, hiding in the mountains behind school, and often hiding until the end of school. And at night, he hid with him in a tomb near our house, and when someone passed by, he threw sand on people, often frightening people passing by.

Since elementary school, I studied with him for a few years in junior high school, but because of his poor grades and poor economic conditions at home, he simply dropped out of school. I haven't had much contact with him since middle school, but occasionally I come home during the Chinese New Year and talk to him about the glorious deeds of my childhood, and I always feel a sense of pride in my heart.

So, I went over with the attitude of giving it a try.

It took a long time for the other end of the line to answer, and then a familiar voice said, "Who?" What's the matter? ”

"Your seventh brother." I was silent for a moment and replied.

There was a pause on the other end of the phone and said, "Seventh brother, I heard from my aunt that you have graduated from college now?" You can mix it up now! ”

"Don't say it's useless. Dude, here's something related to what we did when we were kids. Interested? "I didn't want to get in the car with him, so I went straight to the point.

"Brother Seven, is what you said true? Anyway, I don't have much money here now, and I'm a poor bastard. I'm too tired every day. Why don't I follow you? Cannon thought for a moment.

I was happy in my heart, and I thought that this matter had been found. I said, "Hurry up to Chengdu, buddy is waiting for you here." I will withhold and send you specific information. ”

The cannon said, "Brother, what you said doesn't sound right. Why are you waiting for me to come to the pot? Why did I become Tang monk meat? ”

I said impatiently: "Don't say it's useless, come to contact." Send me your buckles."

Soon the cannon sent a buckle number, I searched for a screen name called "I love to pretend to be cute", which made me goosebumps fall all over the place, so I added a friend and said a few words to him on the buckle.

At noon the next day, the cannon said that he had packed up and booked a train from Xi'an to Chengdu in the evening, which would probably arrive the next morning.

No words for a day.

The next morning I took a taxi to Chengdu North Railway Station. I waited for a long time at the exit of the station, but I didn't see a cannon.

So he called and said, "Where is your boy, why don't you even see a single hair of yours." ”

The cannon said, "Seventh brother, I'm out." Why didn't I see you? ”

After a while, a guy in a blue T-shirt and jeans, with short hair and sunglasses, walked towards me. I subconsciously knew that it was the cannon that was pretending to be forced again, and before he could speak, I said: "Fuck your uncle, you are still pretending to be coercive in front of me."

The cannon said aggrievedly: "Our Central Red Army successfully joined Chengdu, how can the seventh brother meet to save my face." ”

I said solemnly: "Comrade Xiao Chen, it's not right for you to talk like this. Think about the time when we used to dig birds' nests, play hide and seek, and scare people at night, that discipline was quite strict. We want to carry forward this glorious tradition, you know? ”

The cannon laughed when he heard this. Friends always feel extra cordial when they meet, and so many years of separation have not diluted this friendship in the slightest.

In the next three days, as the host, I took the cannon to visit Du Fu's Thatched Cottage, Wuhou Temple, Dujiangyan and Luodai Ancient Town, and ate the famous skewers, Bangbang Chicken and Three Cannons and other delicacies. This grandson has been beautiful these days.

Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, he secretly told me that Chengdu was comfortable, and deliberately flaunted his literary talent and said: "Chengdu's three unique beauty, food and beauty." ”

I patted him on the head and said, "You beauty, you must always keep in mind our organizational discipline and control the wrong line of thought from the source." ”

"There is Seventh Brother, and we resolutely obey the organizational arrangement." Cannon sneered.

In the evening, I called a few friends I had just met to eat hot pot with Cannon. Everyone drank a lot of beer in the evening, and somehow the cannon seemed to be quite happy. After seeing off a few friends, Cannon and I staggered down the street to where I was renting.

He and I were both very happy to drink tonight, and the cannon drooped his head and said slightly, "We're so happy today." ”

I nodded slightly. Looking back on the events of so many years, I know a lot of people, but in the end, there are very few who can keep this friendship unchanged. Looking at the drunk and unconscious cannon, I felt inexplicably more comforted.

The next morning, I called Lao Yang and said that I had found a cannon together. Lao Yang said to contact that side immediately. Ten minutes later, Lao Yang called and said that we needed a simple interview, and then gave me the phone number of the person who made the appointment. After we made an appointment, the next morning I prepared a little bit with the cannon and went to a place called Huijin Hotel.

When we arrived at the place, we saw an old man dressed a little casually. After meeting, Cannon and I made a brief introduction to ourselves. The old man also made a brief self-introduction, his name is Li Fangke, and he is a professor at a foreign university. Then, he also said that he was invited by the Western Sichuan Culture Research Team to participate in this search for the tomb of King Onishi, and since this is a non-governmental organization, let's try not to make a big deal about it.

Next, Professor Li asked me to have an interview with Cannon. In fact, we all understand that this is to see if we meet their requirements.
