Chapter 81: The Man of Twenty Years Ago
Xia Qing suddenly mentioned the small book, which made Gao Chao stunned, but he immediately reflected that the little book, it must be the one he took out from the stomach of a zombie and risked his life.
And so the superb brain spun rapidly again.
Could it be that there is also a mention of Bingzhongluo in that little book? But that little book, is it from Xia Qiu? If it's from Xia Qiu, then why does Xia Qiu also mention Bingzhongluo? How many secrets are there in the mountains of Bingzhongluo?
At this moment, a bunch of questions are blocked in Gao Chao's mind, but Gao Chao really doesn't want to talk about these problems, he is very hesitant now, whether he wants to continue this topic, or stop there, because he has long thought that Xia Qing's things on this line have basically nothing to do with him.
In fact, Gao Chao's idea is completely a kind of self-preservation, because his memories at Xia Qiu's home are not good.
Since there were still so many contradictions in his heart, Gao Chao simply pretended to be deaf, and he didn't speak again, as if he hadn't heard what Xia Qing said, but he didn't expect that Xia Qing didn't want to stop talking.
Xia Qing saw that Gao Chao was silent, and then said lightly: "That little book belongs to my grandfather, but it's a pity that only the first half of the book is left, and the content behind it is likely to be destroyed by mice." ”
Gao Chao was still silent, but he was wondering in his heart, that little book was really from summer and autumn, but what was written in the first half of the remaining book? Is it a work diary? Or is it specifically for recording something?
At this time, the conversation between Gao Chao and Xia Qing was really interesting, the two of them were sitting in the car, Gao Chao was like a listener, and Xia Qing was like talking to himself, but one of them was listening and the other was talking, but both of them wanted to figure out what the other party wanted to do at the moment.
And the fat man was already snoring in the back seat of the car at this moment, he was an out-and-out optimist, and he would never care about those headaches.
Xia Qing was still driving, the speed was not fast, she looked ahead, but she seemed to be thinking about something else.
So she went on to say to Gao Chao: "I don't really understand the things recorded in that little book, in fact, I don't know very much, most of them are some archaeological discoveries made by my grandfather during his lifetime, and one of the things he made a key mark on the book is your bronze drum." ”
At this point, although Gao Chao hadn't spoken yet, he immediately turned his head to look at Xia Qing, he was surprised, how could this be? The bronze drum was collected in Yunnan, why did her grandfather have a record in Xia Qiu? It doesn't make sense at all.
However, Xia Qing continued: "When I looked at my grandfather's records, I was already sure that the bronze drum he wrote was the one you found in Bingzhongluo, because the bronze drum also had five words written on it, 'Yinshan Great Witch Elephant', and the relevant details were also very consistent, I can only say that all this happened really made me feel ......."
Xia Qing shook his head, as if it was difficult to express his thoughts, so Gao Chao took over and said, "There is a feeling that I can't find the north? ”
Xia Qing squinted at Gao Chao again, smiled helplessly, and then nodded.
Indeed, whoever puts such a thing on him, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find the north again.
Originally, Gao Chao didn't want to continue to discuss things about Xia Qiu, but he still couldn't hold back, so he asked Xia Qing: "Did your grandfather mention in his notes where he found that bronze drum?" ”
Xia Qing looked ahead, but did not answer Gao Chao immediately, she seemed to be thinking about something, and said to Gao Chao after a while: "He is at home in Changsha." ”
"At home? This...... How is this possible? Gao Chao's eyes widened, indicating that he couldn't believe it at all.
But Xia Qing said: "Someone went to his house and brought him the bronze drum." ”
Gao Chao nodded suspiciously, and then said, "So that's the case, but did he say who showed it to him?" ”
Xia Qing shook his head, but did not speak, but Gao Chao felt that something was wrong with Xia Qing, could it be that Xia Qing didn't want to tell the truth.
But even if Xia Qing didn't want to tell the truth, he couldn't do anything about Xia Qing, he had to figure out by himself, and who was the person who went to find Xia Qiu with that bronze drum.
But even if he wanted to break his head, I am afraid that he would never have thought of who that person was.
So Gao Chao had no choice but to ask again: "When was that?" ”
Xia Qing thought for a moment and said, "It was almost twenty years ago. ”
"Twenty years ago?" Gao Chao was a little surprised, he thought for a while before he continued: "Miss Xia, no matter who gave it to your grandfather, this matter is unreasonable, because if that bronze drum appeared in Changsha twenty years ago, then how could it be collected by me shoveling land in Bingzhongluo, Yunnan twenty years later?" How is this possible? Could it be that this thing has wings and flies by itself? ”
Xia Qing shook his head, as if tentatively: "Maybe someone brought it to Yunnan." ”
Gao Chao didn't notice Xia Qing's faint change, he just sighed and said: "Of course someone brought it, I also know this, I just can't figure this out, what kind of person would bring this bronze drum to Yunnan......"
Gao Chao himself spoke, but he was stunned for a moment, who would bring this bronze drum to Yunnan? Twenty years ago, he didn't know who it was, but twenty years later, what he always knew, that was himself, wasn't he the one who came back to Yunnan with this bronze drum?
This made me Gao Chao suddenly break out in a cold sweat, although this was not because of fear, but in the bottom of his heart, there was a kind of panic, but this panic even he himself, I don't know why?
Could it be that the person who came to Yunnan 20 years ago is exactly the same as he is now?
Gao Chao has been stunned, of course Xia Qing also found out, she is very sensitive, but she didn't ask Gao Chao what he was thinking.
She just said softly, "Boss Gao, did you bring that bronze drum?" ”
Gao Chao was asked like this, and suddenly came to his senses, and then said: "No, I came to shovel the ground, it's inconvenient to take it." ”
Gao Chao replied quickly, but he was playing the drum in his heart, he lied, but the drum in his heart was not because he was lying, after all, people who do antiques, lying is as normal as panting, he is drumming in his heart, mainly because Xia Qing would ask this, which means that Xia Qing has basically guessed that he came to Bingzhongluo, in fact, there is a certain connection with the bronze drum, and at this moment, the bronze drum is actually in the trunk of the car in his backpack.
Xia Qing nodded, as if he believed Gao Chao's words, which made Gao Chao breathe a sigh of relief, but he was also strange, when did he become so afraid of Xia Qing, as if he was afraid that she would guess what she was doing, this was actually completely unnecessary, even if she knew that she had come to Yunnan with that bronze drum, what could she do?
Thinking of this, Gao Chao felt a little helpless in his heart.
At this point, neither of the two men spoke anymore, and in front of the car, there was only darkness, and in the darkness, it seemed like an endless long road.
