On the speeding train, there is nothing to do, and as they get acquainted with each other, they talk about a lot more. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The iron head seemed to be very tired, and when he got on the train, he closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep, and in a few moments he was already snoring.

To tell the truth, I am extremely unfamiliar with the tomb robbing industry, and I have the impression that the rumored tomb robbers are all those who do not hesitate to dig graves for the sake of wealth.

But the beard in front of me gave me an indescribable strange feeling. Is it for the sake of the so-called family continuity and ancestral craftsmanship that an associate professor of a national research institute, with a decent status and a prosperous life, still engages in such illegal and dangerous professions? I couldn't help but have a strong curiosity about Ni Tian.

Similarly, I am also full of doubts about the identity of the fourth uncle's tomb robber, and I have always found it hard to believe that with the fourth uncle's ability and skills, he will be a tomb robber, although it sounds like the fourth uncle, the tomb robber, is quite high-end in the circle.

"Uncle Tian, why are you upside down?" Finally, I couldn't hold back the question in my heart and asked.

The pillar on the side suddenly became interested, leaned over his head, and looked at Ni Tian with wide eyes.

"Haven't you heard of this saying since ancient times? If you want to be rich, rob ancient tombs. The corners of Ni Tian's mouth twitched, as if I was asking a question that I knew the answer to.

"For money? With your current status, I don't think you can simply seek money. I shook my head and replied with a firm bet, while staring at Ni Tian's facial expression to see if there was a slight change in his expression.

"Hahaha, will there be anyone in this world who thinks a lot of money? It's a hobby, and you can make money, what a good thing. Ni Tian laughed out loud, wanting to make a haha to confuse the topic.

If it were usual, it is estimated that Ni Tian would react like this, and I would definitely carry forward my "three noes" spirit, and then laugh at the matter. But at this moment, in the face of this tomb robber who has only known him for a day, I must give myself a reason to trust him completely, for myself and for the sake of the fourth uncle。。。。。。

I didn't smile, I stared at Ni Tian tightly, and the expression on my face became extremely serious, I must know the true purpose of Ni Tian's tomb robbery.

The pillar looked at me, and then at Ni Tian, and also felt that the atmosphere was a little abnormal, and he didn't dare to speak, only the rumbling sound of the train and the snoring of the iron head came from the carriage。。。。。。

Ni Tian thought for a moment, seemed to see through my thoughts, and felt that it was not interesting to go if he was so stiff, so he took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it, sighed, and finally ended the deadlock: "Hey, in fact, it doesn't hurt to talk to you." ”

Knowing that he was about to start telling his story again, I took out my cigarette and handed it a pillar. Maybe it was influenced by the thrilling stories told by Ni Tian yesterday, and I actually had some expectations for this man's story.

"You must think that tomb robbing is a very bad thing." Ni Tian opened his mouth indifferently, I didn't speak, nor did I hide my inner thoughts, and answered his question directly with default.

"This is a very normal idea, and I will not hesitate to dig other people's ancestral graves in order to seek wealth." In Ni Tian's words, there was a bit of self-deprecation: "The ancestors of the Ni family are indeed forced by life, and they can only rely on inverted dou'er to sell spiritual weapons to the powerful to make a living. In those days, countless people starved to death, and in order to survive, many people recklessly went to the ground, just in exchange for a bite to eat. ”

I nodded, expressing my understanding that when people's survival is in question, how can they think about so many moral things.

The pillar next to him was even more approving, nodding vigorously, thinking of the poor family background of the pillar, I couldn't help but smile bitterly in my heart, if this guy hadn't met the uncle, he might have become.

"By my grandfather's generation, the whole family had grown into a huge industry system. Grandpa was a well-known inverted douer craftsman in Xiangdong at that time.

I don't know if Dou'er really hurt Yin Virtue, Grandpa has never had an heir, and then he adopted his father, regarded it as his own, and taught him all his skills.

But my father knew in his heart that what was flowing in his body was not the blood of the Ni family after all, and if one day his grandfather was gone, who would be in charge of the family, I am afraid it would be really difficult to say. Therefore, from a very young age, my father trained me strictly, and when I was eight years old, he took me into the tomb of a Qing Dynasty official. ”

I looked at Ni Tian in amazement, an eight-year-old child, and took him to rob the tomb?! What a cruel and appalling thing it is compared to the innocent play of children of the same age.

Ni Tian smiled when he saw my stunned gaze, and continued: "Under my father's strict training, I was already famous when I was a teenager, and with the increase in the number of artifacts I touched, I found that I gradually liked these artifacts. ”

"Fall in love with the artifact?" I didn't quite understand the meaning of Ni Tian's words, and asked a little dazedly.

"Yes, each different artifact tells a wonderful story, a long-forgotten past. Each antique presents the style of a prosperous dynasty and an unforgettable chapter in history. Each and every one of them is so exquisitely crafted and ingenious. Ni Tian's eyes showed a hint of warmth, and he explained slowly.

I nodded, Ni Tian is right, the fourth uncle told me before that the real value of antiques cannot be measured by money, because the story behind it is priceless.

Ni Tian took a hard puff of the cigarette he lit in his hand and continued: "It seems that my father's original concern was right, the Mongolian herdsman brought the news of Grandpa's death, and secretly handed over the record to my mother according to Grandpa's instructions. Ni Tian paused, and a sad look appeared on his face: "The Ni family has been in chaos since then。。。。。。 ”

Ni Tian lowered his head and was silent for a moment, then looked up at me again: "Do you know what two things in this world you can't look at?" ”

I was stunned for a moment, looking at the pillar on the side, confused by Ni Tian's sudden question. Zhuzi frowned and thought for a long time, and finally shook his head, it seemed that he couldn't think of an answer to this question.

Ni Tian smiled when he saw the two of us react like this, but I could hear that the laughter was full of bitterness: "The first one is the sun." Ni Tian pointed to the scorching sun hanging high in the sky outside the car window.

"Oops!" The pillar screamed, rubbing his eyes with his hands. Of course, I was not as good as him, and I really tried to keep staring at the sun in the sky, but I also agreed with Ni Tian's answer in my heart.

"The second is the 。。。。。。 of people's hearts" Ni Tian stretched out his finger again, pointing to the location of the heart in my chest.

The pillar followed the direction of Ni Tian's finger again, poked his head to look at my chest, and after being slapped hard by me, he honestly sat back in his position.

I frowned, savoring the deep meaning contained in Ni Tian's words, and the human heart 。。。。。。

Ni Tian seemed reluctant to mention the past after the chaos of the Ni family, and continued: "Later, my mother and I left the Ni family and completely cut off relations with them. Relying on skilled craftsmanship and a small fame, life is also rich.

My mother once cried and warned me that since I didn't have to worry about food and clothing, I wouldn't go to the grave anymore. Greed will only make people lose themselves, don't follow the old path of your father and grandfather.

I couldn't bear to hurt my mother anymore, so I listened to her, but I couldn't lose my love for antiques, so I entered the field of archaeology with my knowledge of ancient tombs and antiques. ”

It dawned on me that this was how his identity as an associate professor came about, but I was even more puzzled in my heart, since Ni Tian successfully entered the field of archaeology, why did he finally go back to the road of tomb robbing?

"You know what's the saddest thing about antiques?" Ni Tian saw my doubts, and suddenly threw out a question.

I looked at the pillar, this time shaking my head at the same time, indicating that I didn't know.

"Once, the archaeological team I joined went to Henan to conduct archaeological exploration and stayed at an old farmer's house in a nearby village. I was surprised to find that the old farmer actually used an antique jar from the Ru kiln of the Northern Song Dynasty to drown cabbage, and I was really dumbfounded, and hurriedly asked him about the origin of the jar.

The old farmer hesitated for a long time before he said that it was a landslide on the mountain, and a big hole came out, and in addition to him, many villagers went to pick up bottles and cans and took them home.

I realized that the situation was wrong, so I asked him to take me there, but the old peasant refused to live or die, and later I learned that it was a large tomb of officials of the Northern Song Dynasty.

The ignorant villagers smashed it with shovels and pickaxes, and they didn't even know the value of these antiques and rushed them back. These precious cultural relics sealed in the ground were taken home by these fools, broken pickles, dismantled to make furniture, and some even turned into urinal poop basins。。。。。。

I really felt like I had been doused with a basin of cold water, and my whole body was cold and unusually awake.

The archaeological cycle is too long, and after determining an ancient tomb, it sometimes takes months, years, or even more than ten years before it can be officially excavated and explored. And in the meantime, how many precious cultural relics will be destroyed in the hands of such mountain fools?

After that return, I submitted an application, quit the archaeological team, entered a scientific research institution, and secretly returned to my old profession from Shinkan. ”

Ni Tian spoke very calmly, as if he was telling a story that was not his own, but Zhu Zi and I both listened with wide eyes.

"You mean, the purpose of your tomb robbery is to 。。。。。。 Protecting antiques? I went through my thoughts and gave a summary that even I would be skeptical.

"I'm not protecting antiques, I'm just trying not to let those wonderful stories go untold." Ni Tian smiled and replied very directly.

Silence was back in the carriage, but at the moment it was like a storm in my heart. The reason why the man in front of me was a grave robber was really noble, and I couldn't believe it.

Good and evil, good and evil, how to distinguish the line between the bearded man in front of him?

I smiled a little bitterly in my heart, forget it, this is not something that I need to define, nor is it something I can define, so why bother thinking about it. I can't help but think of the fourth uncle, why did the fourth uncle embark on this road that should not belong to him。。。。。。

We talked about some other more relaxed topics, Ni Tian has traveled from south to north since he was a child, has a wide range of knowledge, and naturally has a lot of anecdotes, and I and Zhu Zi also listened to it with taste. After a long time, everyone was a little tired, so they ended the nonsense and fell asleep。。。。。。。

I woke up to the sound of the pillar opening the door. When I opened my eyes, I saw his eyebrows fluttering and shouting: "Alas? It's really strange, next to us is a cartload of foreigners. ”

I can't help but feel a little funny in my heart, how can this kid be a person who has been mixed in the capital, and he is still curious to be like this when he sees a foreigner? At that time, Luda was a semi-colony of Russia, and the buildings of the original Russian army are still intact, and they have also been changed into a tourist attraction with Russian style. This is to say that I met a foreigner on the train in Dalian, there is really nothing to make a fuss about.

The iron head opened his eyes, kicked the pillar to make him sit down quickly, and fell asleep again. I really doubt that this guy didn't sleep all night last night and went to do criminal investigation again.

The pillar looked really afraid of the iron head, so he didn't dare to speak, and sat back in his place honestly, and muttered in a low voice that was a little unconvinced: "Is it strange for foreigners to take the train?" ”

Ni Tian smiled disapprovingly: "We are going, but it is one of the three major grasslands in the world, and it is not strange to have some foreign friends." ”

When the pillar heard this, he had to keep his mouth shut and say no more. I smiled at the pillar and fell back into a deep sleep。。。。。。

With the whistle of the train entering the station, I woke up again and looked at the sky outside, it was already evening, and we got off the train with the surging crowd.

Maybe it was influenced by the pillar's words, and when I got off the train, I intentionally or unintentionally looked at the foreigner in the carriage next to the pillar's mouth. It was four blonde foreigners wearing black sunglasses and outdoor sportswear, and I really couldn't tell which country it was, and the large travel bags were all the same, and they looked a bit like backpackers.

Ni Tian took us to a small family hotel not far from the city, a small single-story building on the second floor, it is estimated that Ni Tian was chartered today, except that we could not see other tourists.

I asked Ni Tian why he didn't leave for the grassland immediately, and Ni Tian joked that his purpose this time was to go to Dou'er, and I could only be regarded as an accessory gift at best. He also needed some other helpers, so he "set up a pot", and now he had to wait for the others to arrive and set off together.

Although he was half-joking, what he said was indeed true, and naturally I didn't need to be angry, so I laughed it off, after all, our purpose is different.

The owner of the hostel, a very hospitable Mongolian, saw that we arrived and warmly arranged the room. Ni Tian asked me if I wanted to go shopping with him tomorrow, and by the way, I felt that it was boring to stay, so I agreed.

At dinner, the boss did not hesitate to take out the mare's milk wine he brewed, accompanied by the fragrant roast whole sheep. This night, I was really completely immersed in this beautiful and empty grassland city。。。。。。
