The atmosphere in the shop was extremely tense, and my hands were already clutching the collar of the bearded man named Ni Tian opposite, who had no wrinkles. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info I just feel that the blood in my whole body is gathering towards my brain, and my eyes have a burning feeling that they are about to breathe fire.

"How can you have this piece of Kodama here!" I could even hear the crunching of my teeth as a result of the exertion.

Ni Tian was not overwhelmed by my momentum at all, but smiled very calmly: "You seem to have missed something, right?" ”

His words more or less calmed my fiery brain a little, and by the way, there was a letter in the envelope. I let go of Ni Tian's hand, grabbed the letter and opened it, and it read: "Come with him to see me" and sign "Sun Sihai。。。。。。

I took the letter with eight words written on it in my hand and carefully identified it for a long time, and confirmed that it was the fourth uncle's note, and then looked at Ni Tian who was sitting opposite. At this point, my mood has calmed down a lot, and my thoughts have begun to return to normal, and it seems that I was really impulsive just now.

"Now I understand, I'm your fourth uncle's friend" Ni Tian sorted out the somewhat messy shirt that I caught, and stared at me with an unfathomable look.

I felt that the atmosphere was really a little embarrassing, so I hurriedly poured a cup of tea, handed it to him, and then sat back in my chair, lit a cigarette, and said slightly apologetically: "I'm sorry, I haven't heard from my fourth uncle for almost two years, I was really impulsive just now, I hope you can understand." ”

Ni Tian picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea: "What? Don't you think I'm crazy now? ”

"Where is the fourth uncle? Are you okay? "I deliberately bypassed his question to avoid the previous embarrassment, and at the same time wanted to know more about the current situation of the fourth uncle.

"Of course the fourth master is very good, as for where he is。。。。。。" As he spoke, Ni Tian stretched out his finger and pointed to the piece of paper on the table with his fantasy novel written on it, "Here。。。。。。 ”

"What?" I didn't understand what Ni Tian meant, and looked at this strange-speaking bearded man suspiciously.

"Hulun Beier Grassland." Fortunately, this bearded man didn't sell anything anymore and said it directly, but this answer brought me more doubts.

"Huh? What is the fourth uncle doing there? "I'm really overwhelmed by this beard now, and I don't know what to do.

Hulunbeier grassland, with a vast area, a total area of about 100,000 square kilometers, has more than 3,000 criss-crossing rivers, more than 500 dotted lakes, and extends to the pine waves of Daxing Anling, is one of the world's three famous grasslands. I still know a little about such a famous grassland, but I don't understand why the fourth uncle went there after leaving home.

Ni Tian shrugged: "I don't know about this, maybe it's the same as my purpose, it's to pour that bucket." ”

"What do you say for? Take a bean upside down? "Damn, isn't it uncomfortable for this bearded man to speak strangely for a while? I looked at Ni Tian in confusion, and my fingers were repeating strokes, holding a bean upside down.

It seems that my stupid and cute actions are really thunderous to Ni Tian, and he seemed to be light and calm just now, but at this time he is laughing so much that he is out of breath.

I was embarrassed, and I was even more at a loss, Ni Tian cleared his throat and hurriedly explained to me: "This is the incision on our Dao'er, Dou'er is the meaning of the ancient tomb, but it is the meaning of theft."

My face turned red, and before I could react, Ni Tian added: "Oh yes, the so-called "incision" is the meaning of black words, no matter how you are the shopkeeper of an antique shop, you should always know this, right?" ”

"Inverted bucket? Grave!!?? I pondered Ni Tian's words carefully, and when I thought about it, my jaw fell in shock. The middle-aged bearded man in the opposite suit and a literary style turned out to be a 。。。。。。 Grave robbers?!

I sighed for a while in my heart, wow, the so-called people can't be good-looking, but it's really not wrong at all, a tomb robber with a literary and artistic style? Talent! Definitely talent! But then I think there's something wrong, wait, what he's talking about is our way? Doesn't that mean。。。。。。 The fourth uncle is also on this path?

The amount of information at this moment is a bit large, and it seems that my brain has not had time to digest it urgently, and I can't react at once, and I was stunned on the spot.

To be honest, I have guessed countless times which path the fourth uncle is taking and what kind of role he is. Underworld? Usury? Even drug dealers have once appeared in my fantasies, but grave robbers 。。。。。。 This answer is somewhat difficult for me to accept.

The past came to mind one after another, the fourth uncle's capable skills, shrewd mind, reckless habits, rigorous handling, and the ancient and modern criticism of the antiques in the shop, all of this points to such an incomprehensible answer at this moment。。。。。。 He was a grave robber.

"What? Look down on us inverted craftsmen? Ni Tian's words once again woke me up from my sluggishness.

I hurriedly covered up my embarrassment and started the round again: "No, no, I just didn't expect the fourth uncle to be a thief。。。。。。 Inverted buckets, inverted buckets. ”

"Counting it up, this Chu overlord Xiang Yu and Wei King Cao Cao were also the originators of the inverted dou'er. Besides, do you know how many of these treasures were made by craftsmen? What a contribution to the archaeological community? If we didn't have these。。。。。。 Ni Tian crossed his fingers in front of the table, seeing that it meant that he was going to give me a brainwashing ideological education.

"I know, let's make the matter of the fourth uncle clear first." I interjected to interrupt Ni Tian, who was about to talk and brainwash me. It seems a bit off-topic to discuss the question of whether this tomb robbery is right or wrong.

Ni Tian smiled, and seemed to realize that he was a little off-topic, leaning back in the chair, putting his hands in front of his chest with a thoughtful look, as if he didn't know where to start for a while. I don't rush him, so that he can have enough time to clear his mind, it seems that what he wants to tell must be an extraordinary story.

After a long time, Ni Tian sighed heavily: "Hey, in fact, I should thank your fourth uncle, after all, if it weren't for him, I would have died in the Hulunbei Prairie, as a Ni family, this may also be a fate that I can't get rid of." ”

Somehow, the bearded man opposite suddenly brought me a sense of endless desolation. I pulled out my cigarette, handed him a cigarette, and asked, "What the hell is going on?" ”

Ni Tian took the cigarette and lit it, took a puff, and slowly exhaled a smoke ring, and his head also looked at the ceiling with the slowly rising smoke ring, as if he was stuck in a memory。。。。。。

It all starts with the story in the letter。。。。。。 That story is actually from a true account of my grandfather on his deathbed。。。。。。 ”

Ni Lao? Ni Si? Ni Tian。。。。。。 I tried to suppress the disbelief in my heart, and asked guessingly, "Could it be that your grandfather is the old Ni in this story?" ”

"Yes, the old Ni in the story is my grandfather. And my father is his adopted son Ni Si. ”

Ni Tian took another puff of his cigarette and continued his narration:

After his grandfather fainted, he was met by a Mongolian herdsman who rescued the village. Unfortunately, because he was too old and received great mental stimulation, he did not long recuperate in the Mongolian herdsman's house, and finally passed away. In the last days of his grandfather's life, he recorded this almost fantasy experience word by word, drew a map of the location of the ancient tomb, and entrusted the Mongolian herdsman to bring the notes and maps back to his hometown in Changsha.

At that time, although I was not very old, I was also a little famous in Changsha Daoer. My mother was afraid that when I saw this record, I would be young and vigorous, and I would follow the path of my father and grandfather on the spur of the moment, so I secretly hid the notes and the map together.

It wasn't until more than a year ago, before my mother died, that she finally told me this secret that had been buried for half her life. And when I saw this record, the horror and incomprehension in my heart, I believe you can also imagine it, right? Ni Tian flicked off the nearly half-burned cigarette ash in his hand, took a deep breath, and looked at me.

I gasped, hesitated for a moment, and then asked suspiciously, "Haven't you ever doubted the authenticity of this record?" ”

Ni Tian extinguished the cigarette butt, took a sip of tea, and fell into memory again: "After I read this record, I decided to investigate this matter thoroughly, after all, it is about the cause of death of my grandfather and father. I spent more than half a year preparing for the operation, and because it was so weird, I chose a safer way to investigate. ”

"The safe way?" Naturally, I don't understand in my heart, is there a safe way to rob a tomb and an unsafe way?

"Yes, I applied for the organization of a national archaeological exploration team, and under the operation, I successfully obtained the approval of the state." Ni Tian smiled slightly.

"How is that possible?!" A tomb robber, organized an archaeological team, and also obtained state approval. This kind of thing sounds even more sinister than his horrific story.

Seeing my surprised expression, Ni Tian didn't speak, put his hand into the pocket of his suit, took out a business card and handed it to me.

I took it and looked down, and the business card read, "Changsha National Institute of Archaeology and Cultural Relics, associate professor。。。。。。 Ni Tian".

"This 。。。。。。" Damn, the scare I was so frightened by this beard that I didn't know how to speak.

"It's just a special status for convenience." Ni Tian shrugged his shoulders, but he looked very casual and innocent.

I couldn't help but sigh for a while: Hey, it seems that these days, nothing is easy to do, and the tomb robbers have played Infernal Affairs.

Ni Tian didn't seem to have any intention of explaining the origin of this identity to me, and began to continue to tell his story:

"Because the purpose of my trip this time is not to touch the gold and take the artifact, but to explore and research archaeology. Therefore, the composition of this archaeological team is also mainly composed of scientific researchers.

After a series of personnel selection and equipment preparations, finally, half a month ago, I led an archaeological exploration team composed of three old professors and 11 university graduates to march towards the Hulunbeier grassland。。。。。。
