The so-called ancient town generally refers to a group of buildings with a history of more than 100 years and for concentrated residence. China has a long history, and there are many ancient towns with profound cultural heritage in the vast land. The ancient town of the wreck used to be one of them!

It is about 1,000 kilometers away from Jiangling City, and you need to cross the Qinling Mountains to reach Chengdu, and then drive across the plains and drive dozens of kilometers towards the mountains. Off the beaten track! I still don't know why that Dutchman, Anderson Joy, had to carry a lot of equipment to the place where the birds don't.

In 1895, the price of a camera was more than $30,000. Converted to today's currency, it is more than $600,000, which is considered an extremely expensive and fragile item. And Anderson Joy barely stopped on the road, even in Chengdu for only one night. Obviously, his target is the ancient town of the case.

The problem here is deep. What drew him, a foreigner, to that small town in the hinterland? Anderson was not wealthy, and his camera and travel expenses were financed by the sponsors behind him. Historians and naturalists have speculated that this guy is traveling the world in search of something for his patron.

If that's the case. Then the clues of such things once appeared in the ancient town.

At this point, I frowned. Anderson Joy took tens of thousands of photographs in his lifetime, but by 1897 no more photographs had been published. No one has ever heard from him, and the naturalist and adventurer has suddenly disappeared inexplicably.

Extrapolating from the point in time, in ninety-five years, he came to the ancient town of the case. He left Shanghai by ship in 1896. He returned to Europe at the end of 1896 and disappeared from the world.

Is there some kind of connection between the ancient town of the case and his disappearance? For example, he found what the sponsor needed, ran back to Europe to deliver it, only to be killed by the sponsor?

The more I thought about it, the more likely it became. But what exactly did that Andrei find? and the strange old photographs he took; and the unwarranted man-made cave that suddenly appeared below the villa area; Does it have anything to do with Niu Niu walking into the mural and disappearing, and then suddenly appearing in the coffin shop in the ancient town of the case?

Each ancient town has a long history, and as time goes by, there are naturally more names. An ancient town used to bear this name, but as the ruler changed, the name may change overnight.

The same is true of the ancient town of the wreck.

I checked the information and compared the memory of the ancient town in my mind, and I felt a lot of emotion. My brain is completely encyclopedic, and although I sometimes feel that I am quite smart, once I look back, I will realize that I have a knack for memorization. And the amount of information in my head is outrageous, very miscellaneous, and almost anything can be found.

Could it be that I used to be a naturalist? The strangest thing is that memories are lost, but only memories of family, of loved ones, of past experiences are lost. The rest of the knowledge has not been forgotten at all.

This kind of amnesia is a little too special. Even so special that I can't explain it!

The former name of the wreck town was not so weird, it was originally Fengqing. During the Ming Dynasty, due to a war in front of the mountain south of the village, it was covered with corpses, and it was eventually rumored to be an ominous place by people nearby. Over time, the original name changed, and there were many people called Crime Skeleton Town, and the mayor at that time simply broke the jar and changed its name to Crime.

The village was built for a long time, with a large population, numerous literati, and profound cultural heritage, and it was once a famous town in western Sichuan in ancient times. According to historical records, during the Qianlong period, the wreckage of the case has been called the town, and the name of the town has been used in the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China.

The ancient town, sitting in the east and facing the west, the predecessors described the geographical situation here, there are "the front rock yarn hat, the back peak pen frame, the lion water is gurgling, the elephant mountain is towering, the left toad jumps, the right eagle soars, the dragon is coiled and the tiger is standing, the scenery is unmatched." "That's it. It is known as "the first village of Fengxian County" and "small Chengdu".

This area has a long history and was inhabited by humans in the Neolithic period. During the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the Central Plains scholars moved into the land of the development case. In the early Tang Dynasty, the village has begun to take shape, and the west of the village is Zhaopu, an important water transport terminal in the middle reaches of the Tsing Yi River, and the development of shipping has contributed to the prosperity of the county, which in turn has attracted many famous families to live here and jointly develop this fertile land.

According to relevant historical data, this is also an important resting stop for the Ancient Tea Horse Road, which passes through Heishui from Chengdu to Tibet. It is also surrounded by mountains and rivers, the terrain is dangerous, it is a place where soldiers of all dynasties must fight, and it is an important military and political town in southern Sichuan in modern history.

But as the economic center moved south, the Ancient Tea Horse Road was no longer needed, and the river dried up. The people in the wreckage town walked and scattered, and in the end, only some old and weak diseases remained, and even tourism could not develop. Pity this thousand-year-old city.

"Speaking of which, why did Niuniu know Zhou Yu?" I put away my phone, looked at the unchanged scenery of the winding mountain road in the distance, and suddenly asked.

Originally, it was the fastest to take a plane from Jiangling City to Chengdu and then transfer to the wreckage. But Shi Yueying was reluctant to fly, claiming that she had a fear of heights since she was a child. But when I came back to the scene, I realized that I was the one who really couldn't fly. When the girl picked me up, she didn't have any papers on her. If you want to re-apply for it, you must know where you are from before you can find the place of origin to issue a certificate.

But this is also an unattainable method for me with amnesia. Nonsense, if I could remember where I am, then the question of who I am doesn't have to make my head hurt now.

Shi Yueying was empathetic, and gently blamed her for the reason, afraid that I would be anxious and uncomfortable when I remembered the amnesia.

"Zhou Yu has turned into a corpse, but I didn't recognize it. But in that weird photo, I really know Zhou Yu's appearance. No wonder the name sounds familiar! Shi Yueying blinked her eyes and said, "She used to be Niuniu's art teacher, but she left after a short time." ”

The girl thought for a moment and took out her mobile phone: "I still have a photo of her ID card in my phone." Now there are a lot of liars, I'm afraid that Niuniu will be abducted, so I took a special photo. ”

I opened the photo album on my phone, and after a few pages, I found Zhou Yu's ID photo. Zhou Yu's appearance is very ordinary, because of malnutrition, his face is very thin. But when I saw her ID address, I was stunned!

What's going on? Could it be a coincidence! Or did someone deliberately arrange it, or even Zhou Yu deliberately approached Niuniu!
