Chapter 40: Departure Separately
"Poker face, did you leave that bronze medal to me because you didn't want to part with me?" Ah Shen and Poker have poor faces. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Poker boarded the train with a blank face.
"Where are we going?" Ah Shen looked at the train ticket, "Why go to Henan?" So far? β
"You don't know where to go and follow me." Pokerface really can't stand this guy, and if he doesn't have to look at him, he doesn't want to act with him.
"Didn't I be called by you?" Shen threw the bronze medal to Poker Face, who caught it. "By the way, your mystery is so easy to solve, I don't have much trouble knowing what it means."
"Effortless?" Poker Face sighed, in the eyes of Poker Face, such a simple clue, it took Ah Shen more than half a month to unravel, it was really too high to look at this Ah Shen. Poker Face thought to himself. "Have a good time with Miss Yu?"
Ah Shen shook his head, "Woman, it's still too troublesome." I can't imagine what I used to be, I guess, just like you. Ah Shen pointed to the poker face from head to toe.
The corners of the poker face raised slightly, and he became interested, "What do you mean it's similar to me?" β
"It's almost boring." Ah Shen pursed his lips, "Only people like you who are so boring want to fall in love and get married." Let's talk about it, what is going on with two people from completely different worlds who insist on being tied together for the rest of their lives? I'm born bohemian and love freedom, fiancΓ©e or something, it must have been something that squeezed my head before"
For the first time, Ah Shen shared his inner feelings about Yu Yue with Poker Face, Poker Face did not interrupt Ah Shen, after getting along with Ah Shen for so long, Poker Face had found a way to shut up Ah Shen's words, which was to go to sleep by himself. You must sleep, even if you look out the window or eat and read by yourself, people like Ah Shen have a small strong spirit like weeds, and they are not afraid to disturb others, but they are afraid that they will not be completely disturbed. Only when the other party closes his eyes and declares that he is cut off from the outside world will Ah Shen close his mouth.
Poker Face slowly closed his eyes, and Ah Shen immediately quieted down when he saw this. Ah Shen pondered the ticket stub in his hand, and the destination was Henan. Although the poker face did not answer directly what he was doing in Henan just now, he had a hunch that this trip to Henan would not be so simple.
Zhuo Fan drove the car onto the winding mountain road, and after autumn, a lot of leaves accumulated on the winding mountain road. Zhuo Fan had a fire in his heart, stepped on the accelerator hard, and the car coiled up the road until it was halfway up the mountain.
Stepping on the brakes, Zhuo Fan leaned on the steering wheel by inertia. He hadn't calmed down from his anger yet. Extinguish the fire, walk to the door, and press the doorbell.
It didn't take long for someone to answer the door. The faces of the visitors were cold, and under the autumn wind, the whole villa exuded a gloomy atmosphere.
"I'm looking for Duanmu Dragon." Zhuo Fan is crisp and neat.
The waiter respectfully refused, "Mr. Duanmu has gone far away." β
Zhuo Fan was poured cold water, his original anger subsided a little, but he still didn't give up, and his voice softened, "I have something urgent to find Mr. Duanmulong, if he is at home, please help me pass it on." β
The waiter didn't show any weakness, and still replied respectfully, "This gentleman, I'm really sorry, Mr. Duanmu really went out." β
Zhuo Fan hesitated for a long time, and finally gave up, "In this case, can you tell me Mr. Duanmu's contact information, I really have something very important......
"I'm sorry, sir. Mr. Duanmu left immediately after receiving an email yesterday, and explained to us that no one looking for him could tell him his contact information. After speaking, the waiter stood on the other side of the iron gate, waiting for Zhuo Fan to leave on his own.
Zhuo Fan listened to the waiter's words, and said nervously, "Last night's email? β
"Yes, Mr. Duanmu seems to be nervous. hurriedly asked Uncle Fu to prepare his bags, saying that he was going out. β
Zhuo Fan frowned, thought for a while, thanked him and left.
On the second floor of the villa, heavy curtains hung from the windows half-hidden by rose branches. There were no lights on in the room, and it was very dark. Duanmulong stood at the window and watched Zhuo Fan drive the car down the mountain. In the layers of leaves, Zhuo Fan's silver-gray car disappears from time to time.
"Big young master, why don't you see little young master?" Uncle Fu asked while standing behind Duanmu Long.
Duanmu Long looked at the heavy sky outside the window, "My younger brother is the most tendoned." He now came running and asked me angrily, even if I told him the answer, even if it was exactly what he thought, he wouldn't believe it no matter what I said unless he confirmed it with his own eyes. Duanmulong opened the window, and the wind blew in, mixed with thin rain, "It's going to rain." β
Uncle Fu nodded, "The eldest young master has been preparing for so long, do you really want to do this?" β
"Help me book a plane ticket to the United States at the earliest. A good show is about to be staged. Duanmu Long seemed to be talking to himself, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Yes." Uncle Fu said and retreated.
Aunt Zhang's words next door made Yu Yue fall into chaos. She searched for a long time in Ah Shen's villa, but she didn't find anything out of the ordinary. She climbed the ladder up the stairs and put the books back in their places. This book "Archaeological History" and another "Polar Expedition" are placed in different places on the shelves. Yu Yue knew that Ah Shen had a very special habit, and once he arranged the location of the book, this position would not change. On the bookshelves up this staircase, thousands of books are neatly placed. To find these two books in this vast sea of books is to find a needle in a haystack. Undoubtedly, the person who lent the book to Aunt Zhang should be Ah Shen.
However, at two o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, Ah Shen was with her. This person, verified by DNA, is also impeccable in appearance......
Yu Yue propped her head and sat on the stairs, puzzled. Until she heard the phone ring in a trance.
"Yueyue, are you going home for dinner tonight?" It was Yu Yue's mother's phone.
Yu Yue was very tired, she knew that her mother was calling her at this time, asking if she had found Ah Shen. Yu Yue took a deep breath and said calmly, "Mom, Ah Shen and I are eating outside." After speaking, she subconsciously added, "The magazine sent me on a business trip this time, and I will leave tomorrow." I haven't been able to come back to dinner with you lately. β
"What about Shen?" The other end of the line finally asked.
"Ah Shen said that he has a research underway, and I will come back from a business trip to see you together."
The other party seemed to be a little relieved, and advised, "You and Ah Shen don't work too hard." Your dad and I can't help you on a regular basis, so if you feel tired, go home. β
Yu Yue choked up, and the doubts, troubles, and uneasiness in her heart after returning from Xinjiang broke out at this time. Fighting back tears, she replied, "Well, okay. Hung up.
Yu Yue stayed at Ah Shen's house until it was dark, and then she felt that she should go back. She turned on her phone, which showed two missed calls. Yu Yue got through.
"Hey, hello."
"Hey, Yu Yue, it's me. Lao Jiang. The other party said enthusiastically.
"Oh, I haven't seen you for a long time." Yu Yue knew the identity of the other party and said politely. After graduating, Lao Jiang engaged in the antique jade industry, while Ah Shen engaged in archaeological research. Although they are not in the same line, their friendship has not changed over the years.
"Miss Yu, have you read the information I sent you a few days ago? It's about that bronze medal. The other person said on the other end of the phone. I thought you would definitely contact me after reading it, but I waited so many days that I couldn't wait. If Dr. Shen had known the news, he would have been very excited. β
Yu Yue said curiously, "What's wrong with that bronze medal and why are you so excited." β
"You take a look at it first, the information I sent you, and we'll talk about it after reading it." The other party hung up the phone excitedly. When Yu Yue heard this, she guessed that maybe Ah Shen left because of reading these materials.
Without delay, Yu Yue immediately returned to Ah Shen's villa, opened the computer mailbox in the study, and checked the email.
"Miss Yu, about the bronze medal you gave me, first of all, there are a few lines of words behind this bronze medal, which is an oracle bone inscription, after I found an expert in this area to interpret it, I finally knew what the words on the back meant: There is the end of Su, the fault of Di Xin, you have to take revenge, and you will return to death.
I believe that after reading these four sentences, Miss Yu has already understood most of the heart, I checked the history of the Su clan, back then, Di Xin, that is, the king of Shang led his troops to attack the Su clan, and the Su clan was outnumbered, so he had no choice but to sacrifice a large number of cows, horses and beauties to return to Shun, among these beauties, including the princess of the Su clan - Su Daji.
Needless to say, Miss Yu has been with Dr. Shen for a long time, and she should know more about the history of that period than I do.
In addition, the bronze medal is hand-forged in bronze, and the fox reliefs and oracle bone inscriptions on it are made of modern techniques. In my judgment, this bronze medal should be an ornament made by modern people. But I've always been haunted by this conjecture, and I don't think it's going to be that simple. I flipped through some archaeological magazines, hoping for something that caught my eye, but none of them. Until one day, I saw a picture of Dr. Shen and I drinking together, and remembered the badge he showed me that day, which was a badge he designed himself, and the fox on the badge was not a nine-tailed fox, but its eyes were also red. It makes me have to wonder. Could Dr. Shen or Dr. Shen's archaeological team have anything to do with the bronze medal?
Miss Yu, please think carefully about where Dr. Shen went to do archaeology before and after designing the badge of the archaeological team. Is there anything special going on?
Finally, the bronze medal was newly engraved with a coordinate, which at first glance I thought was garbled characters, but it was actually a simple Morse code, pointing to the train station......"
