Chapter 273: A Strange Rite of Passage II
Then, I was addicted to it, and it became a kind of torture in the end.
When I'm done, I'm a fart. He sat down in his chair and reminisced about the whole process just now, and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Probably the people outside knew I was tired and didn't come in to disturb me.
Sitting in an antique chair, I inadvertently looked up and happened to be staring at the opposite wall again, seeing the black and white photograph that took up almost the entire wall.
There are hundreds of these photos, and the colors are not from the same period, because some of them are clearer, while others are yellowed and blurred.
I stumbled upon a photograph that was a little yellowed, but it was still clear, and with my extraordinary eyesight, I saw three people in the picture, with a mountainous background of the mountains.
This is originally one of the most common photo styles, and when I go out, I will take a similar photo if I have the conditions to take a photo, but when I see the person in the photo, I feel a thrill.
All three of them were wearing the most popular camouflage uniforms in our country in the seventies and eighties, and looked at the camera with a smile.
Among the three people, there are young people on both sides, and in the middle is a man who looks like he is in his fifties - this middle-aged man is so familiar! It only took two seconds for me to remember, isn't this an antique plum? I saw an almost similar photo on the wall of the antique Li house.
How did the photo of the antique plum end up here? All of a sudden, I just felt my blood rush up.
After a few steps, I scanned the photos and found a few more pictures of him, and the background of the photos was different from the people inside.
One of them has a waterfall in the background, and it looks a lot like the one we had when we entered the valley - just a little bit of water. There are four people in this photo, in addition to the two in the previous photo, there is also a woman, who looks very beautiful.
Another photo is a bit blurry and very old.
Looking at the environment in which the photo was taken, it seems to be in a cave, and there are about five or six people, two of whom still have lanterns in their hands.
Suddenly, I looked at another photo next to it, and I was stunned again.
The photograph shows another young man in his early thirties, leaning on a large tree trunk with one hand and a "V" gesture with the other. This turned out to be a hibiscus tree! It's almost a small one under the ancient tomb of the Yellow River.
I introduced the legend of the hibiscus tree before. It has long been considered a legendary sacred tree, but I didn't expect that there was actually one hidden under the Yellow River, and the tree in this photo is another one - that is, there are at least two such trees in the world.
But what shocked me was not only this tree, but the person holding the tree, who turned out to be Yang Guoshan.
If it is said that antique Li came to Ningxia in twenty or thirty years, I believe that he himself has said that in order to explore the secret of the emperor's altar, he has come to Ningxia more than a dozen times.
But how could Yang Guoshan have been here before?
I quickly integrated what Yang Guoshan had said, and he said that the antique Li had been transferred from Jinan to the Hekou District Cultural Center five years ago, and they didn't know each other before.
But after seeing these photos, I became deeply suspicious of his words. Can such a coincidence be in the world? Two people who didn't know each other would have appeared at the same time twenty years ago, somewhere in the middle of nowhere, thousands of miles away? —unless they have a common purpose, and to get there.
