In the morning light, it crept through the window, climbed under the covers, and lingered on my eyes.

I was forced to open my heavy eyelids, sleepy, and with great difficulty, I got up from bed, washed briefly, and then habitually changed into sportswear and walked to West Lake Park. This West Lake is not the West Lake of Hangzhou, it is not the West Lake of Hangzhou, but the West Lake Park of Quanzhou, which is located less than a kilometer away from the Chaotianmen Gate of Quanzhou.

In the past two years, I have insisted on exercising every day, if I don't deliberately think about it, I will almost forget that it has been two years since I came back from Lijiang, and it is also the second year that Yanyu has left me.

After running, I came to the open space where the elderly practiced Tai Chi in the park as always, reminiscing about the basic movements of MMA and parkour, MMA is the abbreviation of mixed martial arts, it is a sport that gathers all martial arts, I used to learn mixed martial arts in the martial arts school, and parkour is the sport of quickly climbing over obstacles, to put it bluntly, it is similar to the previous light skills. The special experiences I had in the first two years made me understand that these two things helped me a lot, they could save my life at a critical moment, although I am now living an ordinary life, but it is the ghosts who send the gods to review these, maybe to strengthen my body, or because my subconscious mind tells me that everything is not over yet, there will be a new journey waiting for me, or I already like that kind of extraordinary, extreme challenge day, right?

Every time at this time, I will receive strange eyes from others, after all, what I practice is not so in line with the atmosphere here, and it looks so out of place.

After an hour-long review, it is time to eat breakfast, and in the Hokkien people in this area of Quanzhou, breakfast is basically noodle batter.

Speaking of Quanzhou, many people only know that it is the starting point of the Maritime Silk Road, but they do not know that it is also the main ancestral home of famous overseas Chinese and Taiwan compatriots, as early as in ancient times, Taiwan and southern Fujian were connected to a whole continent, and then about millions of years ago because of the movement of the earth's crust, part of the land sank, and the rise of sea water led to the separation of Taiwan and the mainland to form two plates, the earliest pioneer of the development of Taiwan was about 30,000 years ago, a group of ancestors who migrated from the mainland Fujian through Quanzhou for a long journey.

Quanzhou is also the source of southern Fujian culture, and its history can be traced back to the Xia and Shang periods. In ancient times, the southern area of Quanzhou was not a good place, when Chinese history was mainly developed in the Central Plains, that is, the Yellow River area, at that time Quanzhou had the title of "the land of the Southern Barbarians", so there was a saying that the South Barbarians and the North were born.

At that time, China was mainly agricultural, and Quanzhou was a mountainous area near the sea, and agriculture was underdeveloped, so those who were sent to the frontier and exiled at that time, Quanzhou was one of the places of choice.

I was halfway through my breakfast when I was disturbed by an uninteresting ringing from a fat man.

"Want Want Gift Package! What are you doing? Do you want to be fat? I miss you. "The fat man's first words almost made me feel less than breakfast.

"If you have something to say, let it go if you have a fart! Don't affect my breakfast! "I take a bite of the batter.

The fat man on the other side of the phone yelled, "Don't mind, brother! Can this batter be compared to my brother? We haven't seen each other for two years, don't you want me? ”

"You're embarrassed to say it! It's been two years, and you don't know if you want to come back, I've been going to see Uncle Xu for you if I'm okay in the past two years" Speaking of this, I paused, took the opportunity to send a large mouthful of noodle batter to my mouth, and said vaguely, "Uncle Xu said it, if you don't come back, you will recognize me as your son, and you will never have to come back." ”

"Huh~!" After the fat man was dissatisfied, he said, "This old man still has emotions?" Just right! Xiao Jing and I will meet him tonight, and I will bring him a daughter-in-law back to see if he still recognizes me. ”

Listening to the fat man's words, do you mean to come back tonight? But before I could ask in detail, the fat man first put down a sentence, "Don't say it, Xiao Jing called me." He hung up.

After breakfast, I had nothing to do, so I went to the antique market between Tumen Street and Jiuyi Road to see Uncle Xu in advance.

The fat man's mother left early, and Uncle Xu never found a wife for himself again, so he lived alone. The fat man hasn't come back once in the past two years, so as a brother, I consciously took care of Uncle Xu, and I was a little ashamed to say that I took care of him, because I just went to see him whenever I had time and chatted with him, that's all.

The bus quickly pulled me to my destination, which is near Zhongshan Street in Quanzhou, the houses in this area of Zhongshan Street are relatively early, and it is an old city, so the houses are not high, they are all about two floors.

The houses are presented on the roof of the ancient house, with a row of white walls and red tiles, lined up along the street, into a commercial street, Uncle Xu's antique shop is in the middle of the street, a small antique shop of less than 80 square meters.

In the early years, Uncle Xu, Uncle Shangguan and Erzhuzi were still touching Captain Jin's hook At that time, Uncle Xu's shop was there, and at that time, the fat man's mother helped take care of it, and now Aunt Xu is gone, and the fat man has no home, so Uncle Xu is taking care of it himself.

When I walked all the way to the door of an antique shop called "Rare World" and "Treasure", I saw a middle-aged man sitting in the store, the man was fat, with a beer belly like seven months pregnant, sitting in the back of the store, his skin was a little dark, about 1.7 meters, and his hairstyle was the common flat head of middle-aged men.

At first glance! This person is loyal and honest, a bit like a peasant, but the sharpness between his eyebrows and the faint earthy smell that betrayed him have exposed his unusualness, this person is none other than Uncle Xu, the father of the fat man.

Uncle Xu's hands and fingers have a lot of hand calluses, people who don't understand think that he has done a lot of farm work, so he has this hand calluses, and the smell of the earth, but the clear-eyed people know at a glance that the smell of the earth and the calluses are left by him a few years ago when he dug the soil and went to the grave, and accumulated over time, because Uncle Xu's eyes are not the eyes of farmers, and the emotions revealed in his eyes always make me unable to speak, I only feel a little melancholy in the sharpness, mixed with a faint confession.

"Yo! Isn't this the handsome guy Xiao Wu? The sun is coming in the west today, why did you come to see me so early? Didn't go to the park to fish for two beauties or something? "Uncle Xu was happy when he saw me, and his mouth was as teasing as a fat man, or he said that it was not a family that did not enter the door.

"Uncle Xu, you're laughing at me again, I'm much worse than a fat man in this kind of thing." I answered the door and entered.

When Uncle Xu heard this, he was not happy, and he blew his beard and glared and said, "Don't mention that stinky boy to me, I don't know if he has a father like me in his eyes all year round?" Uncle Xu said and tinkered with a string of Buddhist beads in his hand, and then said, "As the saying goes, parents are not far away, and they must be told if they are traveling far away, and you tell me about the little rabbit cub, whether the book was read in vain." ”

In order not to irritate Uncle Xu, I immediately changed my words, "Uncle!" How has your business been lately? It can be sold in large orders. ”

"Don't mention it! It's also a big order! I'm running out of rice here, so I don't expect any big orders. Uncle Xu complained in a dissatisfied tone as he spoke: "Xiao Wu! Let me tell you, although Quanzhou has a profound cultural heritage and rich cultural resources, it has not formed a large-scale antique market such as "Fuzhou Oriental Antique City" or "Xiamen Tangsong Antique City", do you know why? ”

I don't have much research on antiques, so I can only shake my head and say, "I don't know." ”

Uncle Xu played with the Buddha beads, and said with a sad brow, "Because the government support is not enough, there is no clear plan, and there is not enough communication with the outside world for antiques." As he spoke, he couldn't help but sigh: "It's a pity! ”

"What a pity?" I wondered.

Uncle Xu said, "It's a pity that we have some powerful collectors in Quanzhou, I won't say anything else, just say that I have a lot of genuine goods in this store, but now they are all furnishings." Saying that, he slapped his backhand, "Do you say that you are angry?" ”

In fact, I believe in Uncle Xu's later words, after all, he is an out-and-out captain who touches gold, although it was only once.

Usually I stay in Uncle Xu's shop for a short time, in the past I used to be Derpy for a while and left, but today I stayed for a while if I had nothing to do, and I didn't leave until the afternoon, Uncle Xu saw my abnormality, so he asked, "Xiao Wu!" You're quite idle today, don't talk about coming early, stay late, and don't go to work? ”

I should "quit my job!" If you're bored, you can stay longer, and I don't know where to go anyway, and besides, isn't the fat man going to come back at night, so it's okay to wait here. ”

"How many jobs have you said you've changed jobs in the past two years? At least, there must be three. After Uncle Xu said with a smile, he also made a gesture of three.

Truly! In the past two years, I have not been used to doing any work, and I feel that doing nothing is not what I want, so I have changed jobs all the time.

"Hey! This kid finally knew that he was back, and said that he would bring me a daughter-in-law back. Uncle Xu said with a disgusted expression, "I think eighty percent of me is bragging." ”

As soon as I heard Uncle Xu's words, I hurriedly said, "Uncle! Then you're wrong, fat man this time, but I can really bring you a good daughter-in-law back. Saying that, I made a fool of myself and sold it, "And! This daughter-in-law has something to do with you. ”

"Oh?" Uncle Xu stretched his tone and said with a look of surprise: "Really? Let's hear it, what does it all have to do with me? ”

I said, "She is Uncle Shangguan's daughter, Shangguan Tingjing." ”

Uncle Xu was obviously excited after hearing this, "Yes...... Yes! This little rabbit cub finally did a decent thing for Lao Tzu. As he spoke, he suddenly thought of something, and began to look around the store.

"Uncle! What are you looking for? I'll help you. "Seeing this, I stepped forward to help.

Uncle Xu pointed to an old box at the top of the container and said, "Okay!" You help my uncle take down the box for me. ”

I did as Uncle Xu said, moved a chair and rummaged through the cabinets, and finally found a special wooden long box, the box was darker in color and heavy, and it looked like it was made of rosewood.

Although I don't know what's in the wooden box, but it's not difficult to know what kind of treasure it must be, as the saying goes, an inch of red sandalwood is an inch of gold, you must know that this red sandalwood is not a few hundred years old, it is hard to compare with steel, with such a valuable wood made of the box can be filled with defective products? No!

When I was holding the box, I accidentally fell out of the box and a boxy thing came out, but I reached out in time to catch it so that it didn't fall to the ground.

"Hey! I didn't see it! Xiao Wu, you react quite quickly. Uncle Xu said and grabbed my hand, "There are still calluses on this hand!" It's not easy for teenagers! Listening to Uncle Xu's tone, it seemed that there was something in his words, and he seemed to see something.

I hurriedly explained, "Didn't you say it, I used to practice martial arts for a few years. ”

Uncle Xu smiled and responded, "Then you practice iron sand palms?" ”

Uncle Xu had something to say, which made me slightly embarrassed, "Where! Uncle, don't laugh at me, there is no iron sand palm, and some of them have been lost. ”

"Or what's the matter with your calloon? There is also a faint smell of dirt and sand, isn't it the iron sand palm that I used to practice in the soil and sand? Uncle Xu still grabbed my hand, hid the knife in his smile, and said without saying anything.

Seeing Uncle Xu like this, eighty percent guessed that I had been on the ground before, but I was afraid that if we continued to talk like this, he would have to let him see through it.

In a hurry, I was in a hurry, and a golden cicada pulled out his hand from Uncle Xu's hand, and before Uncle Xu had time to react, he had already taken advantage of the victory to chase after Uncle Xu, grabbed Uncle Xu's thick palm, and asked rhetorically, "Uncle, if you want to say this, then don't you also practice an iron sand palm?" Look at your hand calluses, but they are much thicker than mine. As he spoke, the corners of my mouth hooked and smiled, "Besides, you also have a faint earthy smell on your body!" ”

"Huh!" Uncle Xu smiled, twisted his palm, locked my wrist from the top of my palm, and gently forced, "Xiao Wu said and laughed, uncle, I just took too many hoes before, so the skin is rough and the meat is thick, but I think Xiao Wu You don't look like you are from a peasant family, but this wrist is really not small, I didn't practice iron sand palm before, is it possible to practice "escape the ground"? Saying that he had bad intentions, he smiled as if he had seen through something.

Seeing that Uncle Xu was getting closer and closer to going to the grave, and he was also involved in the art of escaping, in order not to continue to be entangled in this issue, I took the initiative to give up the competition, withdrew my palm, and smiled, "Uncle!" You have such a good sense of humor and a very special way of speaking! You should also love to read Mr. Jin Yong's novels, right? ”

"Oh! ......" Uncle Xu was stunned for a moment after I suddenly asked such an insignificant question, "It's okay!" Not bad! Flying snow shoots white deer in the sky, and the smiling book god leans on the blue duck, who can not know such a classic masterpiece, who can not know. ”

"Yes! Yes! My childhood TV series were basically contracted out of his old man's novels. Saying that, I took advantage of the topic to change and smiled, "Uncle! Hurry up and see if this is the box you want. And put the box almost hard stuffed in front of Uncle Xu.

Meantime! My eyes never left the boxy thing in my hand, and Uncle Xu saw that I was attracted by this little thing, so he said unhurriedly, "That's a needleless compass......
