Chapter 20: Departure
I said I'm almost 22 years old this year, you always know my grandfather?
He laughed "haha" and said that I didn't know, I had a lot of fights with your grandfather when I was young, and your grandmother (that is, my grandmother), or did I break into the bandits' den with your grandfather and spend two gold bars in exchange? At that time, the bandit leader forced us to drink urine, your grandfather drank one bowl, and I drank two bowls, haha!
I could see that there was a scar under the old man's sideburns, which was blocked by messy hair, and his muscles trembled when he laughed, and the scar was twisted like a live centipede, which was very hideous.
He pointed to the scar and said look at it, this is what your grandfather cut down, when I was fighting, I hit the mechanism by mistake, and finally I was delirious, and your grandfather stomped on it with a knife, and the scar was left behind, and it didn't go away for decades.
I recently forgot to look at the yellow calendar when I went out, and I don't know if it's good or not, how can I meet my grandfather's old acquaintances everywhere?
But what he said made me not dare to believe it, saying that my grandfather was not just an old intellectual? Did I really fight you upside down?
The old man didn't smile, didn't answer me, looked at Professor Yang, and said Old Yang, it's too unkind for you to do this, there are two generations apart, why are you involved in a child? Professor Yang said, "Old terrier, it's been decades, have you forgotten the agreement of everyone back then?" ”
"Bullshit!" The old man puffed up and continued, "After more than ten years of labor reform, I also understand it, what does this thousand-year-old secret between Bashu and Shu have to do with me, wouldn't it be good to rot in a coffin?" Why bother to fish them out? ”
Professor Yang's face slowly turned flushed, and he looked excited, "Old terrier, this is a thousand-year-old secret, do you know how many mistakes there are in the history books, do you know how much we still don't know about history?" The revelation of this secret is enough to change the course of the entire Chinese civilization, and perhaps the history we know is wrong! ”
The black-faced old man licked his dry lips and said what the hell is going on with me?
"Old terrier, you ......" Professor Yang was speechless for a while, stomped his feet and said Okay, if you don't go with me, forget it, you forgot the oath of the year, this secret is finally only known to me, Sima Nan, let's go!
"Wait!" The black-faced old man looked up at Professor Yang, and a gleam of light shot out of his eyes, "Sima Changxiong was not kind to you back then, why bother pulling his grandson into the water?" You're going to be crazy, go crazy yourself, this kid can't go! ”
Professor Yang smiled, patted me on the back of the head, and said that this kid is too young and has done a wrong thing, I just gave him a chance to make a difference, old terrier, you are also a lot older, it doesn't matter to you to die in the labor camp, but Sima Nan still has a great future, you can't let him be like you, right?
"You're an old, forced, raised fart!" The old man stood up, panting like an angry leopard, "Brother Sima is kind to me, I can't watch his family's lone seedling go to death with you!" ”
"Are you going or not? I promise, this is the last time I ask you. Professor Yang had a calm face and was ironclad.
The old man gritted his teeth and was silent for a long time, but finally nodded, "Okay, the old boy really has you, open the handcuffs for your grandfather!" ”
Professor Yang's face shook and said that you should pay attention to what you say, you still can't change your old temper after decades!
The old man squinted and smiled, revealing a mouth full of yellow teeth, "Turtle grandson, I love to call it that, you donkey bite, don't come to me if you're not happy!" ”
After stepping out of the labor camp, we stepped into the green pickup truck again, and since the dry thin old man got into the truck, he had been huddled in the corner and peeking at me, and he didn't speak, he smelled like a heap of cow dung, and no one dared to squeeze with him.
I stared at him so much that I took the initiative to come up and say old man, do you really know my grandfather?
He was stuck with phlegm in his throat, coughed and said, of course I know, your birthday is January 76, the harsh winter has not passed, your mother has dystocia and hemorrhage, and you can't find milk to feed you, your grandfather asked me to get a newly born ewe, your kid is hungry, and he is struggling with the goat's milk and son, haha, the ewe is frightened, which dog, day, and mother are playing hooligan, and they pouted a hoof on your buttocks, and you screamed at that time, and your grandfather's face was scared blue, haha......
Speaking of the past, his face was very peaceful, which was completely different from the image of the old ruffian who scolded before.
I sighed in my heart, this heaven and earth are big, and there are relatives everywhere. Grandpa, what did you do when you were young, why do so many people know you?
I said, Master, have you seen me born? Then do I call you the second master? By the way, why did you end up in a labor camp?
The second master's face shook, "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, your father left early, and you are the only seedling left in the Sima family, why don't you keep a good guard by the river to collect corpses?" You have to wade through these troubled waters! ”
I said, how do you know I'm digging up a corpse?
The second master laughed dryly, and said that Lao Luo, a, really didn't treat you badly, and it didn't take much effort to raise you to be such a big man, right?
I was stunned for a moment, and said you even know Lao Luo?
"Hey!" The second master turned his face away and didn't speak, snorting the old dry smoke, his face was foggy.
I looked around and found that many people in the truck compartment were looking at me, and several comrades from the scientific expedition team were all ghostly, feeling that the second master must have something to say to me, but he didn't find a chance.
After returning to the city, I still went to the county guest house to stay, I just jumped out of the truck, and a person ran out of the opposite side of the guest house, with a big ass and round eyes, and said with a smile, "Brother, did you tell me about that for me?" ”
I looked at the big gold chain and said you really want to go?
The big gold chain said brother, brother, I'm not forced by life? It just so happens that you want archaeology, and I understand this, so make the best use of it!
I said to myself, can you still understand archaeology? Jing Te is so stupid, but Ge Zhuang finally agreed to others, so I didn't speak, let him find Chen Yun by himself and say, see if he can cut in line.
In the evening, the county guest house became lively, a Hongqi car stopped around the guest house, two rows of armed police stood guard, and a person who could often be seen in the newspaper came down, gathered all the members of the scientific expedition team together, and went to the top floor conference hall to hold a mobilization meeting.
The big man came to the stage to speak, grabbed the microphone and said comrades, for the cause of revolution and life, we have never been afraid of bloodshed and sacrifice, we have been not afraid of difficulties, and we are brave in the torrent, this is a good man under the red flag, today, we have received the assignment from above, and march into Niuzigou early tomorrow morning, it has been proved that all difficulties and obstacles are paper tigers in front of dang and the people, we must have the courage to overcome all difficulties and fight this tough battle!
The audience applauded in unison, there was a thunderous cheer, and the slap was eager to collapse the roof, Ge Zhuang and I shrank in the corner, wilting and swallowing melon seeds, just listen to the donkey's bark. Ge Zhuang was happy at me, and said Little pumpkin, look, the people on the stage said that we are good young people in society, lordship, and righteousness!
I said you just listen to him blow, the above people say a word, the people below run and break their legs, what is the place to go on the chaotic wind slope, you kid knows in his heart, this is to do tooth extraction surgery for the dragon lord!
The mobilization meeting was held until the early hours of the morning, and I slept well that night, and just got up the next day, the team went downstairs, and the integration was completed, and two small jeeps opened the road, leaving a dozen people crowded into the truck, just like a recruit company for training.
Ge Zhuang said that the road is long, why don't you sing a song? He took the initiative to sing, "We are pests, we are pests......"
I pinched his big ass and said that your mother's mouth was cheap. Don't you see so many people trying to hit you? Chen Yun stood up and said I'll start over,
"Sunset, Red Glow, Flying ......"
"Soldiers shoot targets, return the battalion to the ......"
The group sang and sang in unison, and the three green cars kicked up a cloud of dust and drove bumpily into the local road outside Niuzigou.
