Icebergs are known to be solid, formed by the condensation of water in a sub-zero environment. However, there is a type of ice that is very rare, it is not solid but a thick liquid, just like flowing water, except that it is thicker than water, and the temperature is even much lower than ice, which is called flowing ice, or drift ice for short.

In order to find drift ice, the country set up a special expedition team in 2002, began to look for clues of drift ice around the world, the expedition team searched for more than two years, and finally found drift ice in Hailuogou Glacier in Sichuan, China, but at that time almost all the people who saw drift ice were swallowed by drift ice, and they still don't know whether they are alive or dead.

In the end, only four or five people came back alive from the Hailuogou Glacier safely, one of them was swallowed by the drift ice and came back after a month, what happened after he was swallowed by the drift ice, no one knows, and he has never talked to others, since then he quit the expedition team, and started a business of buying and selling antiques in a county town in Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture in Sichuan Province.

This person is Li Jinyuan, an archaeological expert, he thought that the drift ice incident was over, but he never expected that one day fifteen years later, two geologists who had left the Hailuogou Glacier a month earlier than him would find him again, and a series of stories began to unfold......

In the summer of 2017, it was one o'clock at noon on May 16th.

In the antique street of Dingxian County, there will be antique lovers from all over the world to Taobao every day, and there are many tourists who are fresh and ready to buy some old objects to keep as a souvenir.

At the end of the antique street, there is an antique shop called Gu Jin, the owner of which is a middle-aged man with glasses, who is dusting the antiques with a feather duster.

"Who is the boss here, call your boss out!"

When the owner of the antique shop heard the sound, he saw a man in his early twenties, wearing a fox whistle and wearing an oversized earring in each ear, shouting impatiently.

"This gentleman, I'm the boss here, I don't know what type of antiques you want to buy, although our shop is small, but the things are absolutely complete."

"I'm not interested in those things." The man said, pointing in the direction behind him, and continued: "Just now an old man asked me to bring you a few words, if you are the boss here, then listen carefully to me, I am only responsible for passing on the message, not answering questions." ”

"Okay, you say."

"The first sentence is, the old man asked me to ask you if you remember the drift ice."

"Drift Ice!" When the owner of the antique shop heard this, his expression immediately became solemn, and he walked to the front of the shop, closed the door, and locked the door from the inside.

"Hey, what are you doing locking the door in broad daylight?"

"Hehe, it's okay, there's a fly outside the door, okay you continue."

"You haven't answered the first question yet, do you remember the drift ice, if you don't answer, how will I deal with the old man at that time."

"Remember, you keep asking, what else?"

"What's here, let me think about it, don't worry." The man touched his head and thought for more than a minute before he spoke, "Also, he asked you what was in the drift ice, and why didn't the other people who were swallowed by the drift ice with you come out with you." ”

After hearing this, the owner of the antique shop frowned, and muttered to himself, "These guys, after more than ten years, have not given up exploring the secret of the drift ice, but I don't know which one of the people who survived in the first place asked this young man to talk." ”

"Hey, I said what are you talking to yourself, hurry up and say, I still have something to do after speaking."

"Since you're going back to work later, it's better to bring me with you, so it won't save you the trouble of going back to deliver the message, won't you?"

"There is some truth in what you said, but the old man said, I can't take you there, and when I want to go back, remember to get rid of you." The man lit a cigarette for himself and continued, "Otherwise, I would have to spend so much time talking to you and take you directly." ”

"In this case, then you can go back and tell him, I know about the drifting ice, and if he wants to know anything else, let him come here in person by this time tomorrow."

"What if he doesn't come?"

"Hehe, don't want to know if you don't come, just tell him like that." After saying that, the owner of the antique shop walked to the door with a smile, opened the lock and reopened the door.

After watching the man leave, the owner of the antique shop immediately fell into deep thought.

Who's asking about Drift Ice?

Could it be another archaeological expert, Fang Jing?

"No, it shouldn't be her, people said it was an old guy that year ago, Fang Jing is a woman, and she is only forty years old, so it is impossible to be called an old guy."

Man, old fellow!

"Among the few of us who survived, he should be the only one who is the oldest!"

Geologist Guo Wanjun......

In a hotel room on the other street across the street from the antiques.

The living room of the room was very spacious, and at this time there was an old man about sixty years old with white hair and white beard, sitting on a chair and shaking a glass of red wine in his hand. In front of him stood a young man dressed as a fox fox, if you look closely, it is not difficult to find that this young man is the person who went to the ancient and modern antique store not long ago, but now he has no previous ruffian, facing the old man opposite, it seems to be particularly respectful.

"Boss, you want me to pass on the word, and I have already passed it."

"Oh......" The old man asked in a long voice, with a hint of amusement on his face, "how did he answer?" ”

"He said he knew about drift ice, and if you wanted to know anything else, he told you to come to his shop in person tomorrow at noon, or he wouldn't say anything." When the man said this, his face showed a touch of ruthlessness, and he said: "Boss, he actually asked you to go to him in person, I think he is too uninteresting, why don't I go and click him now?" ”

There was a crunch on the ground......

The old man got up suddenly, slammed the goblet in his hand on the ground, and a trace of coldness flashed in his originally cloudy eyes, and when the young man on the opposite side saw it, his body unconsciously took two steps back, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"Not only can't you touch him, but you also have to keep him safe, if he hurts a finger, I'll kill you!"

The old man's cold voice made the man dare not breathe, and nodded again and again, "Boss, what you said is, I, I will protect him, and I will definitely not let people hurt him." ”

After the man finished speaking, he turned to leave, but the old man spoke again.

"There shouldn't be anyone else looking for him recently, you don't have to rush to protect him first, go and help me check his family situation, such as whether he has a son, daughter, wife or something."

"After finding out, tell me as soon as possible."

"Yes, I'll go."

After the man left, the old man took a goblet again, poured a glass of red wine and shook it a few times, and drank the red wine inside in one gulp.

"Li Jinyuan, Li Jinyuan, what did you experience under the drift ice back then?"

"Why did you come out a month later than the four of us?"

"A total of eight of you were swallowed by drift ice, why are you the only one who survived?"

"Could it be that the legend is true, and after entering the drift ice, you will be taken to the legendary thousand-year-old ice city......

Thinking of this, the old man couldn't sit still any longer, hurriedly got up and went to the bedroom, and dialed a number with his mobile phone.

"Pony, help me look up the legend of Drift Ice and the Millennium Ice City, and check if there is any connection between the two."

"Be fast, and notify me as soon as you find out."

After hanging up the phone, the old man dialed another person's phone.

"Dr. Fang Jing, are you interested in exploring the thousand-year-old ice city......
