Chapter 13: Speculation

"Wait." Fei Yunfan didn't wait for Professor Chen to finish speaking, and intercepted Professor Chen's words. "Didn't you tell me your name was Sima Lan? Why is it called Haruko? Oh! You grandfather and grandson want to collude to get my piece of jade. ”

"Fei Yunfan! You really didn't waste the name of a writer, you can make up such a LOW plot. That's right, my name is Haruko Yamamoto, but my name is Sima Lan too. My father is Japanese and my mother is Chinese. I grew up in China, and I picked it up when my grandfather told me Chinese stories when I was a child. You say I'm plotting this piece of jade for you? I didn't know there was such a thing from beginning to end, not even that you came here to find my grandfather. Is there anything about your shabby rental house that I can plot? Sima Lan was really angry at this time, and her little mouth looked unforgiving.

"Yes, yes, yes." Professor Chen nodded in agreement.

"Yes, what, yes? I've said you many times, don't call me Haruko, I have nothing to do with that family, my name is Sima Lan now, even if it's called Xiaolan, how many times do you have to say it to remember. Sima Lan turned his head and began to slap his grandfather again.

"Uncle Wu, I really don't know what's going on with you, my grandfather is an old child, I originally expected you to be sensible, and sometimes I helped persuade my grandfather, but you might as well mess around with him, and they all said that smart heads don't grow hair, and I see that your hair is gray." Sima Lan scolded Mediterranean's hair, and Mediterranean subconsciously sorted out her hairstyle again.

The fat man obviously knew Sima Lan before, and deliberately avoided her eyes.

"And you。。。。。。" Sima Lan pointed at the fat man, held it for a long time, and did find what to scold, and scolded: "Dead fat." ”

"You keep fighting, I don't care!"

The four of Professor Chen are almost 200 years old, and they were so speechless that they were trained by a yellow-haired girl.

When Sima Lan walked away, Fei Yunfan asked, "Old man, is she usually so powerful?" ”

Professor Chen nodded yes, Fei Yunfan instantly sympathized with Professor Chen, having such a powerful princess in the family was enough for him. said: "Old man, you have suffered. ”

Professor Chen put the Mediterranean Sea out of the study and said, "Actually, Xiaolan, this child is usually very well-behaved, but when she mentions her father, she is like a different person. ”

"What happened to his father?" The fat man asked with great interest.

Fei Yunfan hurriedly said: "It's not good for you to inquire about other people's family affairs. ”

The fat man immediately became unconvinced and said, "Yo! Now that you've become a good baby, when you and Professor Chen started to grab the jade spider just now, I saw that you were more energetic than anyone else. Do you want to give the jade spider to that little girl and be an inverted son-in-law? ”

Fei Yunfan was so excited by the fat man's words that he couldn't find any reason to refute it for a while. Professor Chen didn't seem to mind too much, and said: "You should also know a little bit about China's national conditions back then, Xiaolan's father followed the archaeological team to China to provide technical support, and then for some reasons he couldn't take Xiaolan's mother back to Japan, when Xiaolan's mother was pregnant with Xiaolan. In China at that time, a single mother with an unborn child was under great pressure, and Xiaolan's father was still Japanese. ”

"Xiaolan, this child has been strong since he was a child, and he didn't come back to tell the adults when he was bullied by his classmates at school. Slowly, her longing for her father turned into an extreme hatred, and she even changed her name. As long as someone mentions her father, Xiaolan is like a different person, this child is bitter! From Professor Chen's conversation, Fei Yunfan saw the helplessness of an old man and his love for his granddaughter. I couldn't find any words to comfort Professor Chan for a while.

"Tip, three gold, it's not my old man who wants these relics, these things are in our hands, far more valuable than in your hands. This jade spider is likely to involve a blank history in ancient China, and with this jade spider, we may be able to fill this blank history, and it is very likely that we will find some technology that even modern people have not mastered. Professor Chen said.

Fei Yunfan was really in a dilemma, and said: "Professor Chen, it's not that I don't want to hand over this jade spider, it does involve several lives of my friends, this time, I want to find the source of the strange things that have happened recently." Once, my friend is fine, I have no use for holding this jade spider, if you want to study it, you can take it. But before that, I'm going to use it, and I have to get it back. ”

Seeing that Fei Yunfan agreed so happily, the fat man immediately stopped the conversation: "Hey! Wait, that's not the case. Fei Yunfan is one yard to one yard, let's discuss the matter of this jade spider later, Professor Chen wants to study it, you can take it to study, but the ownership of this jade spider still has to belong to us. Besides, you didn't ask anything, this is a jade spider in vain, how do you look at it, why is it not worth it. ”

"Okay, now we won't talk about the ownership of this jade spider. Don't you want to know the origin of this jade spider? Professor Chen said.

Professor Chen put the jade spider on the table and took a magnifying glass to observe it carefully: "This spider is not a kind of jade, as I said earlier. I suspect that this is a crystalline body formed in the universe, and it may have formed earlier than our earth. When I first came into contact with this spider, I felt a slight tingling sensation in my hands. I think it's a side effect of similar radiation on the stone. But why didn't I feel this way when I came back into contact later? I can't explain it right now. ”

"Professor, is there any incident related to this piece of jade in history?"

"There's not a lot of information, but it reminds me of a people whose history has long since been extinct. This extinct nation is the historical notorious Demon Cave Clan. Because this tribe was extinct too early, there are not many written records. But we can find a few great similarities, this people are very admiring jade, they regard jade as the tears of the gods, crying out about the suffering of the world, and flowing down to eliminate disasters and puzzles for the world. Second, this people believe in spiders and use spiders as totems and scepters. They believe that spiders are messengers of the gods, not to see the suffering of the world with their eyes, but to experience with their hearts, and that the spider's web is a holy web filtered into people's hearts, and all those who have evil thoughts will be captured by the holy web and sent back to hell to suffer from reincarnation. ”

Fei Yunfan was puzzled and asked: "Hearing this, the belief of this tribe is to persuade people to be good, so how did their so-called notoriety come about." ”

Professor Chen leaned back on the sofa, crossed Erlang's legs, and said, "History is like this, we understand history from the books and inscriptions left behind. But who can guarantee that these can give us a fair and just interpretation of history. The history we see now is often just a chapter of praise written by the victors for themselves, so we have repeatedly stressed that we archaeologists need to use our pure eyes to filter out the impurities in history. ”

The fat man saw that Professor Chen had already turned the topic away, so he hurriedly pulled it back: "Professor Chen, I don't think it's right, you just said that the spider that this nation believes in has no eyes, but why does this spider have two eyes, and it's quite big." ”

"So, I'm talking about similarity. However, there is no information to show that the Demon Cave Clan believes that spiders have no eyes, because until now we have not found any valuable cultural relics of this tribe, and we can only understand from some information that such a tribe once existed. In fact, I really want to find this tribe very much, because their technology and craftsmanship are far ahead of the two tribes of the Yellow Emperor and Chiyou at that time. Whether their sudden demise was caused by natural or man-made disasters is a mystery, but the most legend has it that their demise was related to a great treasure. ”

"Will they be like Bai Miao and Black Miao, one practices medicine to save people, and the other specializes in poisoning people. The white seedlings and the black seedlings are only different in the color of the clothes, and there is not much difference in the others. I saw a scene in a novel where the eyes of the evil ghost Shura were sealed by a spell, and one day the seal was unlocked, and the evil ghost Shura opened his eyes, which would bring great havoc to the world. Fei Yunfan said guessingly.

Professor Chen smiled slightly: "It's quite good for young people to have ideas, but we are academic research, and any conjecture must be based on facts. ”

Chatting and chatting, the bell on the wall rang twelve, and Fei Yunfan and the fat man said goodbye to Professor Chen and returned to the hotel where the fat man lived.

When they returned to the hotel, they both lay on their beds, staring at the moldy ceiling in a daze. I thought that I could get some useful information from Professor Chen this time, but it turned out to be nothing.

The fat man stared at the ceiling, counted the water stains left by the water leak upstairs, and said to Fei Yunfan: "Second brother, are you short of money?" ”

The fat man suddenly asked this question, Fei Yunfan didn't know how to answer, said that he was short of money, he didn't have to worry about food and clothing, he said that he was not short of money, hmph, when he came, he borrowed the taxi money from Sima Lan. I had to say, "I don't know." ”

The fat man sat cross-legged on the bed, pushed Fei Yunfan, and said, "Second brother, I don't know what it means, lack is lacking, and lack is not lacking." ”
