In 1972, just in time for the famine in my hometown, my uncle Ximenchang was in his early twenties, and because he did not want to starve in the countryside for the rest of his life, he simply carried his family to the Tibetan plateau to seek a living. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

At that time, Ximen Chang followed his distant cousin, a lizard named Wang Delong, the lizard is our hometown slang, the meaning is very broad, probably refers to people who live in the countryside, stealing chickens and dogs, demolishing temples and destroying temples, in short, not a good person.

This Wang Delong is a model among the earth lizards, he is not tall, he is dark, his face is pitted, and his triangular eyes are drooping, and he is born with a thief. However, he himself does not care, but is proud, often claiming that there is no one who steals graves and digs graves, sliding doors and picking locks, in his own words: dragons and tigers from the wind and clouds, chickens and rabbits jump on their feet; He Wang Delong has walked the rivers and lakes in his life, and there is nothing he dare not and will not do.

Such a character is naturally alive and well, because he doesn't look at the sky or the earth in life, and relies on his own ability and means, as for whether he does bad things or good things, it is not within his scope of consideration.

Ximen Chang envies such a life, he is a young man who has just twenty years old, and he is at the age when his blood hormones are bursting, and he thinks what is it to face the loess all day long, let alone not fill his stomach, so it is natural to run away from home.

Let's say that the lizard Wang Delong, with Ximen Chang, the two of them set off from their hometown as a train, entered Tibet through Sichuan, turned upside down all the way, and even got on an ox cart, walked for half a month without stopping, and finally came to a small place called Gazhen on the edge of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

It was only when he arrived in Gazhen that Wang Delong explained to Ximenchang the purpose of this trip - to go to Tibet with a few outsiders to dig something.

He also instructed that there is no need to talk, it is purely manual work, and people can do whatever they are asked to do, don't ask, don't say, just take the money and receive the reward when the task is completed.

Along the way, Ximen Chang, who has been struggling in the countryside for twenty-one years, has long been confused by the world of flowers, and only hates to have no money to enjoy.

So far, the two have settled in a small hotel in Gazhen.

During this period, Wang Delong really did not treat his hometown brothers badly, dumplings in the morning and noon wine, and yak cheese and grilled fish in the evening, and he had been eating Ximenchang, who grew up in the nest, with tears streaming down his face, and after getting drunk, he also shouted vigorously to bring his mother and brother to enjoy the blessings, so Wang Delong couldn't cry or laugh, so he had to comfort him and say rest assured, he did this business, and it was no problem to eat and drink for six or seven years.

The two stayed until the fourth day, when the three patrons arrived late, starting with an old man with a red face and full of energy, and the other two were strong young men, wearing goggles and carrying a hiking bag, dressed as tourists.

Wang Delong's posture was very low, and when he saw the old man, he called Uncle Cai, and Uncle Cai, who was old and strong with a red face, was also very easy-going, and used Cantonese Mandarin to call him hard work.

But the other two young people kept their faces cold, dragging them as if someone owed them money, Wang Delong didn't care, and still shouted in front of and behind him.

After a simple greeting, Uncle Cai asked directly if the things were ready, Wang Delong said that there was no problem, and then went out for a turn, and in Ximenchang's surprised eyes, he brought back several mules, and the mules were still tied with large bags and small bags on their backs, looking like they were going to travel a long distance.

Uncle Cai was very satisfied, and directly threw out a pile of colorful banknotes, saying that if he did a good job, he would never owe anything in money, and he would set off immediately!

Stepping on the mule and leaving Gazhen, Ximen Chang was still confused about when Wang Delong got so many livestock and equipment, and he didn't even know anything about getting along these days. The young uncle was a person who couldn't pretend to be in his heart, so he went directly to Wang Delong to ask for an understanding. Wang Delong laughed, and he didn't hide it, and said his thoughts as they were.

It turned out that Wang Delong knew that this trip was not a petty theft, and he had heard of the details of several outsiders, and heard that it was involved in antique smuggling. This is not a misdemeanor, the price of antiques is easy to rise, and if you are not careful, it is a big case of hundreds of thousands of millions, and it is the crime of killing your head if you are caught - hearing this, Ximen Chang scolded his mother a little in his heart, and his heart was far away, and the old watch was unreliable, and the big fish and meat in the past two days were not good enough to be cut off at the head.

Wang Delong, a hob-like character, couldn't see the face of his distant cousin, he lowered his voice, and said: "You and my cousin, know the roots, and now I will expose the bottom to you, you complain that your brother led you to death, but if I don't take you out, if this thing is done, my brother and I will return to my hometown, and when the time comes, will you still be digging in the soil of your hometown, do you have to complain that I don't take you with me when I get rich?" ”

Ximen Changshun pondered carefully, it is really this principle, there is a way to seek wealth and danger, you can't only see wealth and ignore the danger, you are still young, you don't understand.

Wang Delong said again: "And do you think my brother is really ruthless to pull you into the water? My plan is to let you know nothing and not handle it, except for contribution, you should be blind, so that even if you are caught, you will tell the police that you are a coolie who was deceived by me, and you will not know anything else, and you will not have to bear any responsibility, and you will be an accomplice, that is, a sentence of three or two years. ”

As soon as Wang Delong's words came out, Ximen Changzhen was ashamed of what he thought just now, he couldn't imagine that his cousin, who had always been criticized by his hometown for his bad morals, would think so much about him, and suddenly remembered an old saying: Righteousness slaughters more people.

Untying the knot, Ximen Chang was also much easier, and he felt even more obligated to ask Wang Delong to take care of his wife at home.

The cousins here muttered, and the three outsiders over there were not idle, along the way for more than ten days, they kept taking out the compass to compare the mountains and rivers, and from time to time they had to climb high and look far away, which made Ximen Chang, who was bored to the feeling of traveling to the mountains and rivers, curious, when he was in his hometown, he had also seen the Taoist monk of the You Fang, but the behavior was not as strange as the person in front of him, especially Uncle Cai, the compass did not leave his hand, and he also had to observe the clouds and watch the stars at night.

Although I promised not to ask or not to say, but the curiosity of young people came together and I couldn't bear it, and I didn't ask clearly, and my heart was like a kitten tickling all the time. Finally, Ximen Chang found a gap and opened his mouth to Wang Delong.

At first, Wang Delong refused to say anything, but he couldn't bear his uncle's endless questions, and he was afraid of being noticed by the customer, so he had to cautiously reveal that these two people were looking for a tomb. After speaking, he closed his mouth and glared angrily with his eyes, which means don't ask, it's no good to know, and if you ask your brother again, you will be anxious.

Ximen Chang really didn't ask, because this answer didn't surprise him, he heard a lot about tomb robbery when he was a child, according to the old people, the old society couldn't eat, and the hungry people couldn't do anything? As long as you can exchange some rations, don't say that stealing graves and digging graves to steal burial goods, even more unconscionable things have happened, and what is there to keep a tomb a secret.

In fact, Ximen Chang, who is young and uneducated, doesn't understand that this world is not only about the living, but also about the dead, so the tomb and the tomb are naturally different.

To make a long story short, just twenty-one days after entering Tibet, everyone who had been counting and drawing all the way finally made a discovery, at this time, a group of five of them will be walking through the Hoh Xil steppe, walking on a glacier.

It was a spectacular sight, with rolling green grasslands behind you, white glaciers at your feet, and towering snow-capped mountains not far in front of you, and when all this was under a sky so blue that it could drip water, it couldn't help but make people feel a kind of awe that wanted to throw themselves to the ground. Especially when the sun shines on the top of the snow-capped mountains, a sacred aura arises spontaneously, making people afraid to look at it directly.

Of course, the above emotions are only for normal people, as for Wang Delong and Ximen Chang at that time, if they hadn't been awakened by Uncle Cai, who was screaming, they would probably still be trembling and scolded their mothers by the severe cold of the plateau.

Uncle Cai's three outsiders got off the mule one after another, taking pictures and compasses, busy with the past and the present, and all kinds of Cantonese exchanges, which made Wang Delong and Ximen Chang stunned.

After repeated measurements and observations, Uncle Cai drew a circle on the ice surface and instructed Ximen Chang to make a fire and boil soup.

The soup basin and shelves are prepared, the customer has an order, the uncle will naturally not listen, and immediately use solid fuel to build a pot to make a fire, the so-called soup is of course not seaweed egg flower or pork rib soup, the material for boiling soup is configured by a young man surnamed Li, Ximenchang only recognizes a few such as ginger, old vinegar, etc., and he can't name the rest, and Brother Li will not explain to him.

The atmospheric pressure on the plateau was not enough, and when it was boiled to about seventy or eighty degrees, a pot full of black juice gurgled up, emitting a fishy smell, and Uncle Cai ordered the soup to be poured into the circle carved on the glacier.

Wang Delong and Ximen Chang lifted the pot and operated according to their words, as soon as the black juice was poured on the ice, there was a violent sizzling sound, like an iron plate burn, and the thousand-year-old ice that was as hard as iron melted at a speed visible to the naked eye, a pot of soup was poured less than a quarter, and the ice had melted half a finger thick.

By the time the soup was finished, there was already an obvious circular hole on the ice, about half a foot deep. At this time, Uncle Cai stopped very carefully, took out the small pickaxe and knocked it, and the ice chips scattered in response, and I don't know if it was the effect of the black soup.

Then Wang Delong and Ximen Chang were set aside, and Uncle Cai politely invited them to smoke a little farther away, and came over when they were called.

My uncle still wanted to mean something, and didn't want to be dragged away by Wang Delong directly, until he reached the headwind, and then said, "What did you say when you came?" Don't ask, don't say, where do you always go? ”

Ximen Chang scratched his head and said with a smile: "I'm just curious about what kind of material that black juice is, and the effect is too strong, so I will go back and ask how easy it is to take it home and shovel ice in winter." ”

Wang Delong snorted twice, and said brother, you are not foolish, I can take you back safely, and earn you a wife, I am worthy of your mother and my aunt as a brother, as for the others, you can stop first.

Ximen Changben also said casually, seeing that Wang Delong's words were sincere, he was embarrassed again, so he diverted the topic and smoked a cigarette to talk about the shortcomings of relatives and parents.

Who knew that before the cigarette was finished here, the Hong Kong people over there shouted, Wang Delong said to Ximenchang to wait, and ran over......
