Dali Ancient City People's Road, Eight Thousand Miles Road Inn.

"Hello, I want a room!" Carrying his luggage to the front desk of the inn, Zhang Yicheng handed over his ID card.

"Zhang Yicheng ......" Sitting behind the bar is a big man, who is playing the computer at this time, and pauses the game when he sees someone opening the room, and he is stunned when he takes the ID card and looks at it, "You are Zhang Yicheng?" ”

"Are you...... Boss Dong? Zhang Yicheng couldn't believe his eyes, the image of this buddy and the voice on the phone obviously didn't match, the voice on the phone should be a polite person, how could a real person be a big man? has a beard and a bald head, and he doesn't need makeup to play Lu Zhishen.

"It's me!" Boss Dong nodded, "Why are you here?" ”

"Why can't I come?" Zhang Yicheng put down his luggage, "You can arrange a room for me......"

"You two are really ...... Travel and act separately......" Boss Dong smiled, threw the ID card back to Zhang Yicheng, "No need to open it, you can live in your father's room, and I will give you a room card." ”

"By the way, Boss Dong, do you know where my dad and they went?" After taking the ID card, Zhang Yicheng looked around, "You have been in this house for a long time, right?" ”

"Hmm...... It's an old house of more than 200 years, and I haven't changed the layout of the lobby, it's exactly the same as it was 200 years ago, so I added a bar counter...... "Boss Dong said, "Your father and the other two old men went to Cangshan, and they picked the wild mountains with a harsh environment, to be honest, it was the first time I saw an old man of this age still have such energy...... by the way, there is also a female one to go, it is said to be Mr. Tong's girlfriend." ”

"Female ...... Girlfriend? Zhang Yicheng was numb. Dare to love that buddy really has a girlfriend, no wonder he is so anxious that he can't even wait for the college entrance examination for so many days, it seems that the power of love is really stronger than a nuclear reactor, but then again, I am willing to be a girlfriend for Tong Guohu. What does this woman have to look like? Could it be that he is also a Martian? "What does it look like?"

"It's very good-looking...... Boss Dong also sighed, "The relationship between the two seems to be good." ”

"I'm dripping mom......" Zhang Yicheng's outlook on life was instantly refreshed, it seems that the story of "Beauty and the Beast"1 is definitely not a simple fairy tale, if Disney knows about this great cross-species and cross-galaxy love, it may be another Chinese New Year blockbuster, "That's right, Boss Dong." Where is Cangshan? ”

"It's the mountain not far outside, you can ......see it when you go out," Boss Dong said, "They called up some latitude and longitude coordinates from Mr. Tong's GPS locator, and then set off early this morning......"

"Do you know the coordinates?" As soon as he heard that there were coordinates, Zhang Yicheng came to the spiritual head.

"I didn't see ......it," Boss Dong said. I haven't used that brand of GPS, I can't operate, it's an old man surnamed Qin who called up the coordinates, and then pointed to the map and asked me how to get there. ”

"Ah, so you know the place?" Zhang Yicheng's eyes lit up.

"The old man drew a ......circle on the map," Boss Dong gestured with his finger on the bar, "That's a map, not a floor plan." His painting is hundreds of square kilometers......"

"These old and unscrupulous ......" heard that hundreds of square kilometers, Zhang Yicheng also gave up. By the way, Brother Dong, where is there a supermarket around here? ”

"Go out and turn left, there is a small one after two minutes, and a big one after ten minutes, what do you want to buy?"

"I'm going to buy some groceries and buy a lottery ticket by the way......" honestly. Zhang Yicheng also couldn't understand why the immortals on his body fooled him, could it be that he really wanted to buy lottery tickets?

"Lottery? Buy a lottery ticket and turn right! Ten minutes on foot! Boss Dong didn't raise his head. Start playing the game......

Because I was in a hurry to come out, I didn't bring underwear or socks. I didn't even bring a change of clothes, but fortunately, the clothes I was wearing were newly changed when I went out, and I could last for two days. After buying all the things that should be bought from the supermarket, Zhang Yicheng trotted all the way back to the inn, but as soon as he entered the door, he was stupid on the spot, only to see Zhou Yunran standing at the front desk to register.

"Alas, Zhang Yicheng, this girl said it was your friend......" Without waiting for Zhang Yicheng to speak, Boss Dong spoke first.

"And then...... Ran ......? Zhang Yicheng stumbled when he spoke, "You ...... What are you doing here? ”

"Yicheng!" Looking back, Zhang Yicheng came back, Zhou Yunran hugged without saying a word, "I'm here to help you with your homework......"

"Uh, why don't you two share a room?" Seeing this posture, Boss Dong simply took back the room card that was about to be handed to Zhou Yunran.

"Uh...... You misunderstood...... "Zhang Yicheng hurriedly took the room card, "We are just good friends......

"Yicheng! I've brought all your stuff! Zhou Yunran looked mysterious, and without saying a word, he pulled Zhang Yicheng into the room.

"My stuff?" Zhang Yicheng was confused, "How can you have my things?" ”

"This is for you!" Zhou Yunran pulled open the trolley box and handed a large plastic bag to Zhang Yicheng.

"I'm dripping mom......" Zhang Yicheng's face was almost dehydrated with steam, only to see that the plastic bag was filled with socks and underwear that had not even been opened with labels, and even high-end shampoo, toothbrush and men's cream, "Ranran, you are also polite, right......?" ”

"Humph! I knew you would definitely lose your ......" Zhou Yunran didn't notice that Zhang Yicheng's face had become a monkey's buttocks, "And this is for you, put it on and try it......" As he spoke, Zhou Yunran took out a very high-end shopping bag from the trolley suitcase, and when he opened it, he saw that it was a new brand-name casual wear.

"This ......" looked at the clothes Zhou Yunran bought, Zhang Yicheng was immediately full of excitement, isn't this dress the one he wore in his dream that he had never seen before......? Now that you have seen the clothes in your dream, where is the environment in your dream? Could it be that when the time is right, the immortals have their own arrangements?

"Quickly change on, quickly change on!" Zhou Yunran happily walked out of the house, "I won't peek!" ”

"Alas...... Desperate ......, Zhang Yicheng had to change into the clothes that Zhou Yunran bought for him, not to mention that they really fit.

"Is it pretty?" Seeing Zhang Yicheng walking out of the house in new clothes, Zhou Yunran hurried to the front.

"Good...... Good look......" Zhang Yicheng didn't look in the mirror. But looking at the color matching of the clothes, it shouldn't be ugly, it seems that this girl's aesthetic is much more fashionable than Liu Mengmeng.

"Are you hungry? I'll invite you to dinner...... "To be honest, here and now, Zhang Yicheng feels like a soft eater, so he has to express himself no matter what he says......

After dinner.

Because Tong Guohu's camping equipment was taken away by the three old gentlemen. Therefore, Zhang Yicheng could only check the remaining items in Tong Guohu's room, but he didn't find any valuable clues, and he originally wanted to go out for a walk, but he didn't want to get too close to Zhou Yunran because of this, so he had no choice but to go back to the house to take a bath and sleep under the pretext that he was too tired.

As the saying goes, people's hearts are made of flesh. Lying on the bed, the more Zhang Yicheng thought about it, the more he felt that he couldn't go, the girl didn't even go to the United States for you, she followed her from Tianjin to Yunnan like a thief, and bought you a lot of clothes. As a result, you didn't even say hello and slept when you were full, aren't you a little too grandson? After pondering and pondering, Zhang Yicheng turned over and got out of bed and put on his clothes again, and slipped to the door of Zhou Yunran's room again, even if he talked about some topics that girls were not interested in such as games and computers, he would talk to her first and then sleep?

"Ran Ran ......" Zhang Yicheng knocked on the door lightly twice, but he didn't expect the door to open in an instant, and Zhou Yunran seemed to be hiding behind the door this week.

"Yicheng ......" said that Zhou Yunran was smiling. But it is not difficult to see that the red eyes seem to have just cried, "Why don't you sleep yet......"

"It's a long night. I don't want to sleep......" Zhang Yicheng pretended to be bored, "Can you chat with me?" ”

"Okay!" Zhou Yunran nodded.

"Come!" Seeing that Zhou Yunran agreed, Zhang Yicheng took two bottles of drinks bought during the day, pulled up Zhou Yunran and went straight to the free coffee seat opposite the guest room, but he didn't expect this coffee seat to be quite lively, a total of four groups of sofas were filled with three groups.

"There's no one upstairs!" Boss Dong, who was making coffee at the bar, seemed to have a good eye. Directly instructed Zhang Yicheng to go upstairs.

Upstairs in the café, there is an entire floor of tatami mats. When you go upstairs, you must take off your shoes, and two groups sit opposite each other on the so-called sofa. It's just two large "futons" with cushions behind them, and the upstairs decoration is more delicate and stylish than the downstairs, and the walls are covered with photos taken by Boss Dong from all over the country and handicrafts made by himself. In addition, in the innermost part of the room, there is also a huge coffee table with an area of two or three square meters, the panel is a whole thickened tempered glass plate, and the material under the glass plate is some old door panels, windows and other antique materials in the old room, it is said that all the old wood replaced by the ancient house was repaired many years ago, and it was originally prepared to throw away the "tatters" that were rescued from the utility room when Boss Dong first took over the inn.

"Yicheng ......" Before Zhang Yicheng pulled out the topic of the computer, Zhou Yunran took the initiative to ask, "Can you tell me the real purpose of your visit this time...... In Zhou Yunran's opinion, Zhang Yicheng didn't seem to be as he said at the beginning, he came for the big brother who was hit by a car, and even wandered around the hotel for a long time, and he didn't even ask about the big brother, "You ...... Is it to hide from me? ”

"Ranran, it's really not ......" Zhang Yicheng sighed, "To tell you the truth, I'm looking for my father......"

"Looking for your dad?" Zhou Yunran looked dazed.

"Of course, this matter is very complicated......" Zhang Yicheng pursed his lips and shook his head, "I really don't know how to explain it to you." ”

"Actually...... I don't need to explain, I just want you to tell me, do you want me to come ......" Zhou Yunran said timidly.

"Do you believe in gods and ghosts?" Zhang Yicheng simply bypassed the topic.

"Hmm...... It's kind of a believe......" Zhou Yunran nodded, "I've believed it since my cousin's incident." ”

"Here's the thing, there is a fairy ...... on my body" Zhang Yicheng turned his heart sideways, thinking that he could simply leave the old bottom behind, whether she believed it or not, the girl and his mother were still bodhisattvas in themselves, fooling other people's daughters in front of their parents, and the heavens were intolerable, so he simply led himself to Zhou Sen's residence by the divine beast "Kobe" and saved Zhou Yunran, how did he meet Tong Guohu later, and why did Tong Guohu ask for his help, and everything that Tong Guohu learned about the Taiping Heavenly King's Crown until Tong Guohu was in a car accident in Yunnan and fell into a coma, and told Zhou Yunran in detail, of course, as for the true identity of the immortals on his body, Zhang Yicheng did not confess. How embarrassing would it be?

"You mean, the reason why you came to Yunnan is the same as to save me? All commanded by that immortal? Zhou Yunran's eyes were hot, and there was no doubt or surprise as he imagined.

"yes, you...... Can you believe it? Zhang Yicheng smiled slightly.

"Hmmm! Believe! Zhou Yunran nodded twice deliberately. Do you know why I'm coming to you? ”

"Why?" Zhang Yicheng asked knowingly.

"I ......" Zhou Yunran pursed her lips, as if she was a little embarrassed, "Actually, I also had a dream......

"Oh? What are you dreaming about? ”

"I dreamed of my mom and asked me if I liked you...... And then...... And then...... And then she ...... Just let me come to you......" This time it was Zhou Yunran's turn to steam on his face, "I...... I thought to myself...... Thought...... I thought to myself......"

"Your mother told you to come to me...... Zhang Yicheng really had the heart to cry to death, and his heart said that it would not be because he wanted to match his daughter with him. This old lady just fooled herself to Yunnan, right?

Chapter 36 Plaque

"Ah...... Let's not talk about this......" Zhou Yunran seemed to be unable to bear it, and without waiting for Zhang Yicheng to speak, he changed the topic, "Tell me about your big brother Tong......"

"Big Brother Tong?" Zhang Yicheng was stunned. "What does he have to say?"

"Aren't you worried about him?" Zhou Yunran raised her head, her face was still red, "Didn't you say that he was possessed by a ghost?" Now I was hit by a car and was in a coma in the hospital......"

"I'm worried he's useless...... My father and my uncle, a group of seventy or eighty-year-old old men, have set off on an expedition for his business......" Zhang Yicheng pouted, "Now I don't know where those old men have gone, and I can't find him, so I can only wait here." ”

"Your dad is eighty years old?" Zhou Yunran was stunned.

"My dad wasn't even fifty yet. Eighty years old is my uncle and another friend! Zhang Yicheng smiled and said in his heart, sister, what do you think?

"How would they know where that big brother Tong had been?" Zhou Yunran asked.

They found a GPS locator from his belongings, which stored some of his location information from before the crash. I went to find ......," Zhang Yicheng shook his head and said, "But now that the locator has been taken away by them, there are no other clues." ”

"Didn't you just say that Brother Tong had already found the treasure of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom a year ago?" Zhou Yunran suddenly had an idea, "Since he can find it, we can also find it." If you find the treasure, won't you find your father? ”

"Faint ......" Zhang Yicheng almost fell downstairs. I thought that Yunran could put forward any constructive suggestions this week, "That big brother Tong has been looking for more than ten years." Now there are no clues, how can we find them? ”

"Hmm......" Zhou Yunran also seemed a little helpless, "By the way, how long has this inn been open?" ”

"Uh...... I have to ask Boss Tong about this...... Zhang Yicheng deliberately looked at the newness of the furniture around him, "It should have just opened, and the furniture is still very new!" ”

"Then why did he live here?" Zhou Yunran asked, "It's not cheap!" ”

"Uh......" Zhang Yicheng lost his temper when asked, "It should depend on the environment...... You see there's a fish pond in the yard......"

"Is it called a pond?" Zhou Yunran smiled, "I think he definitely didn't live here for the good environment!" Also, his ancestor's surname is Du, have you ever wondered why his surname is 'Tong'? ”

"Well, this should be to avoid the pursuit of the imperial court......" Zhang Yicheng said, "Think about it, his ancestors pulled the flag and rebelled, and the imperial court will definitely cut down the grass and eradicate the roots. ”

"I know this!" Zhou Yunran said, "I'm just saying, why does he have the surname 'Tong'!" Have you ever thought that this surname is not very common, Zhang Wang Li Zhao has so many popular surnames that he doesn't have a surname, so he has to change his surname to Tong, why? ”

"This ...... How do I know? Who knows what his ancestors thought at the time? Probably it was decided to throw shoes, right? Listen to Zhou Yunran ask. Zhang Yicheng was also stunned, and said in his heart that this woman's thinking is so different from that of a man, how can she pay attention to these innocuous details? What is this kid's surname, is it also related to treasure?

"Tong ......" Zhou Yunran wrote the word "Tong" on the glass plate with her finger, and then raised her head to look around, "I think there must be his intentions......"

"The little couple is chatting very hot......" at this time. Boss Dong brought two cups of coffee upstairs, "Come, try this, authentic Yunnan small grain coffee!" ”

"Yo...... Thank you so much! Zhang Yicheng hurriedly got up, "Boss Dong, you are too polite!" ”

"Didn't bother you, did you?" Boss Dong put down his coffee and turned around to go downstairs. "If you need to shout, I'll bring it to you! These two cups are free! ”

"Brother Dong!" Zhou Yunran suddenly stopped Boss Dong, "How old is your house?" ”

"Two hundred years less!" As soon as I heard that someone inquired about the history of the ancient house, Boss Dong came to the spiritual head.

"Does it have anything to do with Du Wenxiu?" Zhou Yunran continued to ask.

"Yes! When Du Wenxiu first occupied Dali, this courtyard. It was his temporary headquarters, and later Du Wenxiu built a marshal's mansion by himself, and then rewarded the courtyard to a general named Ma Rong, until Du Wenxiu fell, this house was rewarded to a deputy general by the Qing army commander Cen Yuying, and then the deputy general returned to his hometown and gave this courtyard to a literati to open a library! Boss Dong looked full of interest, and simply sat cross-legged next to Zhang Yicheng. He pointed to the bookshelf not far away, "Do you see the plaque in the bookshelf?" That's what I left over from the original uprising, which I salvaged from the storeroom. I almost threw it away as a rag. ”

Following Boss Dong's direction, I saw that there was indeed a broken plaque in the scholar's house, with the words "Ge Chen Lixin" written on it, and the place where the plaque was signed was incomplete, but the four big characters on it were still intact.

"...... Chen Lixin?" Zhou Yunran seemed thoughtful, "Brother Dong." Can I take a look at this plaque? ”

"Yes......" Boss Dong nodded.

"It's so strange......" Zhou Yunran stood up and walked to the bookshelf, stretched out his hand and typed each of the four words "Ge Chen Lixin". Dong ...... Brother Dong, can you put ...... This plaque ...... Demolished? ”

"Huh?" Boss Dong was stunned. "You...... Do you want to ...... Why? ”

"Of course, stop in moderation......" Zhang Yicheng was also a little embarrassed, although this thing is worthless in the eyes of the landlord, but in the eyes of Boss Dong, this is a treasure, even if Boss Dong is very polite, he can't be so invisible......

"I suspect this plaque is hollow!" Zhou Yunran pursed her lips and said, "Brother Dong, the guest surnamed Tong is Du Wenxiu's descendant, do you know?" ”

"Uh...... I really don't know about this......" Boss Dong shook his head, "What does that have to do with this plaque?" ”

"You see, the writing of the word 'Tong' is the word 'Li' at the top, and the word 'Li' at the bottom, which is the 'inside' of 'Li'! So I suspect it has something to do with the word 'Li' on this plaque! Zhou Yunran said.

"However, when I wrote this plaque, there were no simplified characters...... Zhang Yicheng said, "The traditional character 'li' is not written like this!" Speaking of traditional characters, Zhang Yicheng knows a lot, and the traditional Chinese writing in it is "li".

"Hmm...... seems to make sense...... "Don't look at Zhang Yicheng's disbelief, Boss Dong agrees with Zhou Yunran's analysis, "Then what do you think Du Wenxiu will hide in?" ”

"Suicide note or something...... I don't know......" Zhou Yunran shook her head, "I guessed too." ”

"I'll take a look......" Boss Dong simply took the remnant plaque off the shelf, turned over the plaque and began to tap on the back of the plaque, and frowned after a few knocks, "It seems that it is indeed a hollow ......" Boss Dong knocked on the back of the plaque where the sound was abnormal, and then looked at the front, it seemed that it was really the "standing" part. "Xiao Zhang, there is a clay pot under the coffee table, and there is a bottle of Qizi in it, you hand it to me......" Seeing this meaning, Boss Dong seems to be going to dismantle the plaque himself.

"Boss Dong...... Have you thought about it......" Zhang Yicheng trembled and handed the bottle to Boss Dong, "In case there is nothing, don't blame us for ......"

"How can I blame you...... Anyway, it's to smash the back, just don't delay it......" Boss Dong smiled, held the bottle and smashed the back of the plaque with a pop, "Hehe, it's really hollow ......"
