The mystery of experience
After the copper combination lock on the suitcase was cracked, Gao Moli returned to the sofa casually and continued to eat instant noodles.
Gao Moli has always been like a huge mystery, and the more confusing it is, the more attractive it becomes. This powerful magic sparked my curiosity, and at the beginning of the encounter, I was desperate to know who he was. When he learned of his identity, his sense of mystery did not disappear, but intensified.
For others, knowing who he is is equivalent to knowing the answer, but for me, it is a complex multi-solution equation: who he is, what he has experienced, and how he has found me in the modern society after he has awakened......
I want to know everything about him.
Now, as long as you lift it with a little force, the secrets of Gao Moli's past hidden in the suitcase will be revealed in front of you. My heart was surging, and my hand holding the lid trembled slightly.
Gao Moli glanced at me and asked half-jokingly, "What, do you still need me to help you open it?" ”
"No, it's better to open some mysteries yourself." After that, I pressed the hand of the suitcase and still didn't move, thought for a while, and continued: "Gao Moli, it can't be empty here, right?" ”
"Why do you have such an idea?"
"Because I really can't think of how a general of the ancient Dian Kingdom can mix with modern human society. The most suitable lifestyle for you should be to hide in the mountains every day, do nothing, and then suddenly one day, I happened to meet me......"
As I said to myself, Gao Moli put down the fork, moved over again, and put his hand on the lid of the box.
"Just look at it, come, open it together." With that, Gao Moli pressed his wrist slightly and lifted the lid of the suitcase backwards.
The suitcase is not empty.
It was filled with yellowed paper, a bronze snake button, two black-and-white photographs, and a leather, vintage map of China, as well as several newspaper silhouettes......
I looked at the box full of things, didn't know where to start, and subconsciously sighed, "So many? ”
He seemed to see through my thoughts, reached out and took out the snake button copper seal, handed it to me, and explained: "This is my copper seal, and I will be next to me when I wake up." Maybe someone is afraid that I will wake up and forget who I am, so I deliberately used it as a reminder. But, I remember it all. ”
This bronze seal is the size of a palm, and there is a giant snake hovering at the upper end, the head of the snake is high, and the eyes are deep, revealing a kind of momentum that is not angry and self-imposing. There are several seal characters engraved under the seal, and the seal words are vigorous and powerful, according to Gao Moli said, these words are: the general's seal.
This snake button copper seal from the ancient Dian Kingdom, is the King of Dian personally supervised the making, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty gave the King of Dian the snake button gold seal, its shape is more exquisite, the craftsmanship is more exquisite, can be described as a microcosm of the ancient Dian Kingdom bronze heyday. If the black bull was on the side, seeing such a beautiful object, his eyes would definitely be straight, and he would not hesitate to encourage Gao Moli to sell it.
I put the bronze seal back and picked up the rolled-up parchment map, which showed a very large territory of China, judging by the territory of the country and the traditional characters marked on it, it should be a map of the mountains in the heyday of the Qing Dynasty.
I asked suspiciously, "This is a map of the Qing Dynasty?" ”
"Well, it was drawn by the descendants of the Dian people."
On the map, countless mountains of all sizes are undulating and intricate, some like a soaring dragon, and some like a small snake lying still. The mountains are marked with dense symbols, and there are several places where the symbols on the mountains are extremely special, I carefully identified them, and these places turned out to be Lion Rock, Mangdang Mountain, and Black Tiger Mountain!
I asked in surprise, "Aren't these places the places where the gold medallion with the pattern of the two beasts and horses is hidden?" How did you know that these places contain gold plaques? ”
"Before, I didn't know what the gold ornaments were for, but knowing that Kang Renwu had been looking for them, in order for him to believe in me and willingly lead you to Black Tiger Mountain, I have been to many places, visited many Western Han tombs, and then determined where the gold ornaments were located, and revealed accurate information to Kang Renwu." After Gao Moli finished speaking, a trace of exhaustion flashed on his face, and he got up, walked to the window, and stood there quietly, looking at the raindrops falling outside the window.
The dense signs on the map turned out to be the places where Gao Mo had left! A trace of sadness welled up in my heart: he had paid far more hardships than I could have imagined.
I put down the map and looked through the silhouettes of the newspapers, most of which reported on Kang Renwu's major archaeological discoveries. In addition, the remaining two are about me, one is that I made a research report at an international research symposium on behalf of the Information Section of the Academy of Archaeology; The other is that when I first joined the work, I worked as a docent for the leaders who visited the Institute of Archaeology.
I have published two newspapers in my life, and I didn't keep these two newspapers myself, but they were both hidden in Gao Moli's suitcase!
I looked at the year in the newspaper, and it was more than nine years. Could it be that nine years ago, Gao Moli had already noticed me?
Inadvertently, I caught a glimpse of the black-and-white photograph in my suitcase, and my heart trembled: he had noticed me for probably longer than nine years!
I couldn't wait to pick up the two black and white photos, one was a photo of me and Professor Kang when I was in middle school, and I also have one at home, this one should belong to Professor Kang, I don't know how Gao Moli got it.
The other is a black-and-white photo of the main hall of Wudian, in which the bronze statue of the King of Dian stands proudly in front of him, as if inspecting his territory.
I picked up a stack of yellowed papers of various sizes and looked at them one by one. Some of these papers are passes, and some are letters of appointment.
Among them, two are the most conspicuous: one is the letter of appointment of the commander of the 73rd Division of the National Revolutionary Army, which also has the autograph of Chairman Chiang; The other is a letter of appointment from a visiting professor in the Department of History at Yenching University!
Gao Moli's experience is far beyond my imagination!
I took the letter of appointment and the letter of appointment in my hand and looked at it carefully, the paper was yellowed and the notes were vicissitudes. I was surprised and asked, "You...... You actually became a teacher? ”
Gao Moli replied lightly: "Well, I've been in office for five years." At that time, the war was raging, and I was afraid that the reincarnated King of Dian would join the army, so it took me five years to investigate. ”
With Gao Moli's combat experience, it is not surprising that he joined the army and rose to division commander. But I was surprised that he, who had always been reticent, could be a visiting professor at a university.
I looked at the yellowed letter of appointment and asked puzzledly, "You can be a visiting professor?" ”
Gao Moli nodded and replied meaningfully: "In order to find you, I can be anyone." ”
