Luo Sihai shook his head, his breathing was a little short, and said, "Look at the piece of Shu brocade in the box." ”

Gu Fengchun followed his words, and picked up the small piece of brocade silk in the box very carefully, he was worried that if he was not careful, this piece of Shu brocade would be shattered into ashes. In archaeological excavations, many examples of exquisite brocade silk weaving were instantly wiped out after contact with the air, and Gu Fengchun had to be careful with these silk fabrics. This small piece of Shu brocade is about the size of an adult's palm, and the patterns on it have long been dimmed, and those dull patterns look like a simple map. Gu Fengchun sighed and said: "The history of this piece of Shu brocade is probably no less than two thousand years. ”

Luo Sihai nodded and said, "Yes, I tested it a long time ago, and it was the best textile in the Bashu area two thousand three hundred years ago. And when I found this piece of Shu brocade, it was wrapped in this ring and that piece of double dragon jade. ”

Gu Fengchun was stunned for a moment, and looked at Luo Sihai with straight eyes. Gu Fengchun always thought that Luo Sihai was at most an insider about these secrets, but he didn't expect Luo Sihai to be a participant.

Luo Sihai saw Gu Fengchun's strange expression and said, "Things have to start from the beginning." There are so many people and things involved in this matter, and there are so many people and things involved that if it weren't for the fact that you guessed the puzzle I gave, I think I would have taken this secret into the coffin and told no one. ”

Gu Fengchun nodded, not wanting to interrupt Luo Sihai's thoughts by speaking. He was a very patient person, and of course he wanted to know as much detail as possible about this kind of information.

Luo Sihai propped up his right hand, held his chin, and his voice gradually lowered, slowly telling a dusty past.

That was many years ago. Luo Sihai did not forget that it was the autumn of 1956.

One of Luo Sihai's uncles traveled thousands of miles from Beijing to his hometown of Luojiawan to visit his hometown after decades of absence. This caused quite a stir in the local area. Because, Luo Sihai's uncle has long been famous, and he is an outstanding general of the republic, a general with a very high military rank.

Although he is an uncle, Luo Sihai, who is already a sixteen-year-old boy, has met for the first time. As early as a few decades ago, this cousin devoted himself to the revolution, not to mention Luo Sihai, even Luo Sihai's father Luo Wenfeng, he hadn't seen his own brother for more than 30 years. Luo Wenfeng heard in the early years that his younger brother had become a senior official in the army, and he had fought several battles, and his achievements were very prominent. Luo Wenfeng listened to these rumors and was noncommittal. In those chaotic times, being an officer was not necessarily a good thing.

The Luo family is a prominent family in the local area, and they also moved from other places very early. About the ancestors of the Luo family, there are many legends in the local area, it is said that the first ancestor of the Luo family to move here, is a high-ranking official, after returning to the hometown, the family moved to this mountain area that was still isolated from the world at that time, and another version is that the ancestor of the Luo family was a prince's housekeeper, and later the prince wanted to rebel, after the defeat of the Luo family, the ancestors of the Luo family fled to this poor country with a large number of gold, silver and jewelry, and gradually multiplied into a Luojiawan. It's all very old-fashioned, and no one knows what era it happened. Even if the people of the Luo family want to know the origin of their family, they can't take the test, because the genealogy doesn't know when it was lost. After several generations, the deeds of the ancestors have long been difficult to find.

What Luo Sihai still remembers is that his ancestors began to have a hobby of collecting gold and stone antiques. Although Luojiawan is a remote place, the ancestors of the Luo family have a lot of ability to collect antiques. According to my father's recollection, when the family was well-off, the five large houses of the old house were full of various collections. Famous calligraphy and painting, gold and stone porcelain. It's not a treasure that is hard to find. Luo Sihai was also under the influence of his father, and he had a great interest in antiques since he was a child, and he was the shopkeeper in a big pawnshop at a young age and did not have his eyesight. But later, in the midst of the war, the Luo family's collection gradually disappeared. Luo Sihai's grandfather sold those rare treasures in exchange for oil and grain to support the people's livelihood. As the saying goes, antiques in prosperous times, gold in troubled times. In the time of the war and chaos, antiques were sold cheaper than stones, and Luo Sihai's grandfather also ended up depressed because he saw that the rare treasures that his ancestors had accumulated for many years were almost scattered in his hands. In the same year that my grandfather died, my young and courageous uncle left his hometown and joined the revolution. This departure is more than 30 years.

When he was young, he left home and returned to his hometown, and his native accent did not change, and his sideburns declined. This kind of emotion General Luo naturally has. More than 30 years later, the two brothers hugged their heads and cried when they met, and the scene was very touching. And General Luo's return this time is not like the princes and generals in ancient times, who came to show off their clothes and return to their hometowns. At this time, he was carrying a heavy burden.

That night, General Luo told his eldest brother Luo Wenfeng a big secret in the room where he had been separated for nearly 30 years.

A year earlier, General Luo had traveled thousands of miles to the frontier to be recalled by the leader. The leader gave him the task of leading a scientific research team into Lop Nur to explore the local water situation. Lop Nur was already within his jurisdiction, and General Luo realized that if it was a simple scientific investigation, there would be no need for an officer of his level to go out in person. Sure enough, then the leader took out a thick ancient book and handed it to him. And let him open the last page. Tell him to find the place and to bring out something.

General Luo was born in a scholarly family, and although he has been a horse warrior for decades, it has not erased his strong family literati skills. The four big characters of "Luo's family tree" on the written book made General Luo tremble. Since he was a child, he learned that his family tree had been lost a long time ago, could it be the one that appeared in front of him? General Luo is a communist, but the heavy family patriarchal concept of the Chinese is also firmly precipitated in General Luo, but it is also difficult to change this primitive patriarchal complex.

In front of the leader, General Luo tried not to let himself lose his temper, and turned to the end of the ancient book as he said, where an ancient map was drawn. General Luo is a soldier who marches and fights, and in his eyes, this ancient map can immediately identify the location. It was an ancient map of Lop Nur. And General Luo knows that the topography of this map can no longer be applied to the present, and Lop Nur is a moving sea that often changes its location. And the leader's destination is already on the verge of danger on the ancient map, and now, it may be the depths of the desert, if you want to find something in the vast desert, it is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.

General Luo took on this task without even thinking about it. In the Red Age, people thought that anything was possible, and the more impossible the task, the more motivated people were. General Luo studied this ancient book that night, and then confirmed that the Luo family tree in front of him was the one that was lost in his family.

After reading it, General Luo couldn't help but sigh: If it weren't for this family tree, I'm afraid no one would know that his family had such a story.
