Chapter 1 Long Vacation
Maybe it's been a long time since I've told my heart so happily, the three of us have changed our normal, and we've been telling what has happened to us over the years, and great sorrow and joy are reflected in the long road of life. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Maybe they have experienced life and death together, or maybe they talked very speculatively today, Biaozi and I suddenly found that Liu Dapeng is not really that annoying, but we didn't really understand him before.
As the saying goes, there are fewer than a thousand glasses of wine for a confidant, although we don't have a good wine at the moment, but with cigarettes as a companion, the effect is the same, or even better. Just as they were chatting, Tan Jia walked in with Sankla and Wu Jian, and was stunned for a while when she saw that the three of us had made the entire ward smoky.
Tan Jia looked at a few of us with complicated eyes, opened the window of the ward for ventilation, and when the smoke lingering in the room almost dissipated, she asked the three of us, "How is it, there is nothing bad about the body, right?" ”
The three of us patted our chests, so we were in a state of high spirits, and said in unison: "Back to the sir, the three of us are very good, we can fight tigers in the mountains, and we can catch dragons in the sea, but I don't know if the chief can bring us a bottle of burning knives, and by the way, bring some good dishes, so that we can replenish our bodies." ”
Tan Jia couldn't hold back for a while when she saw us like this, and burst into laughter, I realized that she was so innocent and sweet when she laughed, and she was like the two of her I knew before. I suddenly realized that Tan Jia's change was precisely because of this operation, and perhaps, this was her most sincere side.
After laughing enough, Tan Jia pretended to be angry and said to us: "Have you made enough trouble, okay, let's get down to business, and tell you good news, Li Yishan has passed the dangerous period and has woken up, but his injury this time is too bad, and his attending physician has already said that it is impossible for his injury to recover without three months." So, during this time, he can take a long vacation, you don't have to envy, this time we have been greatly injured, the above has approved my request, and decided to give everyone a three-month long vacation, so that everyone can rest for a while. ”
"Wow! I was finally free for three months. Hearing this exciting news, Biaozi danced for a while, if it weren't for the bandages everywhere on his body, it is estimated that he would have jumped up and down. Seeing the appearance of the label, everyone couldn't help laughing, and they all felt that this big fat man was simply an innocent big child.
Seven days later, Li Yishan and Professor Sun's injuries had also stabilized, Tan Jia made a decision, and everyone immediately set off and returned to Changsha, after all, it was our base camp, and it was convenient for us to do anything there. And Tan Jia has told the above about this incident two days ago, and the above attaches great importance to this incident, and hopes that we can go back as soon as possible and report the details of the matter.
That night, we went through the discharge procedures and drove quickly towards Changsha in the comfortable minibus. At three o'clock in the morning of the next day, we finally returned to Changsha, which we had not seen for a long time. However, because of Li Yishan and Professor Sun, we did not immediately return to the base camp, but went to Huda Hospital.
After completing the hospitalization procedures of Li Yishan and Professor Sun, it was already more than five o'clock in the morning, and it was the time of the handover of spring and summer, so it was very early. We have been running all the way, and we are already tired, and our stomachs have long been singing about the empty city plan. Biaozi is very familiar with Changsha, so he led us to Changsha Old Street to taste the most authentic Changsha snack - Changsha stinky tofu.
In China's snack industry, Changsha stinky tofu can be said to be on the list, not only famous in China, but also famous abroad, many international friends come to Changsha to play, are inevitably to eat a few bowls of stinky tofu.
Biaozi often frequents here, and he has visited the small shop where stinky tofu is made, so he knows which one is delicious and which one is not authentic. After passing through a few alleys, we came to a three-way intersection, opposite which was a few snack bars, and the owner was just getting ready to open because it was just dawn.
The sign pointed to one of the snack bars, smacked his lips at us and said, "See, the most inconspicuous snack bar is the authentic stinky tofu family, and there is a gold-lettered signboard on it?" Next time, if you want to eat stinky tofu, go to that shop, and you can't go wrong. ”
We were already hungry, and we didn't care about anything else, so we went straight through the three-way intersection and headed straight for the little shop. When I arrived at the door of the store, I looked up and saw that there was a plaque hanging on the door of the store, with four big characters written on it, the handwriting was vigorous and vigorous, like a dragon and snake flying, and at a glance I knew that it was from the hands of a famous artist.
The plaque had been carefully framed by the shopkeeper, but even so, the plaque, which was originally golden, had already revealed its old black, and at a glance it was not a modern thing.
As soon as I entered the store, a strong fragrance came to my nose, the fragrance was very strange, like fragrant but not fragrant, like smelly but not smelly, but it had a different taste, which aroused people's appetite, and the already hungry fasting stomach was even more gurgling.
Seeing us come in, a middle-aged uncle immediately greeted us, as if he knew the mark, and immediately smiled and said politely: "I said Brother Sun, you haven't been here for a long time, what's the matter, is it that our taste here can't meet your needs?" ”
Biaozi claimed that he had been out of the house recently, and he had just come back and came here for the first time. The middle-aged uncle beckoned us to sit down, and said to his daughter-in-law: "I said Chun'er, move quickly, hurry up and get the brine or something, Brother Sun can't wait." ”
We came very early, and the materials of the store had not yet been prepared, and when we looked like we were eager to eat, the store immediately urged his wife to quickly adjust the brine. The husband and wife of the shop were skillfully making stinky tofu, and we watched with great interest, and after about ten minutes, we ate stinky tofu.
Tan Jia smelled the fragrance of stinky tofu, she may not be very used to it, her brows are furrowed, she may be really hungry, and she may have been aroused by the gluttonous worms in her stomach by the way we eat and drink, hesitated for a moment, and finally couldn't help but move her chopsticks. After eating it in one bite, Tan Jia showed a surprised look on her face, and then ate two more pieces of stinky tofu, which seemed to be completely conquered by the smell of stinky tofu.
We ate for half an hour, until our stomachs could no longer fit it, and then we left this small shop in a happy mood. Professor Zhang touched his bulging belly and said to us: "No wonder stinky tofu is so famous, it really has a different flavor, I'm afraid I will remember it in my heart in the future!" ”
After breakfast, we got on the minibus again, and within half an hour, we finally returned to the villa in the suburbs. Surprisingly, as if knowing that we would come back at this time, as soon as we entered the house with our front feet, the phone in the living room rang, and as soon as Tan Jia answered the phone, she knew that it was someone from above.
After resting in the villa for half a day, in the afternoon, Professor Zhang, Tan Jia, and Liu Dapeng, the three of them left in a minibus, saying that they were looking for them to report back, and it was estimated that they would not come back in three days. Tan Jia was afraid that we would make something happen during this time, and after some advice, he left with some anxiety.
Those three days were our happiest days, without Tan Jia's constraints, we were like the naughty child who suddenly got complete freedom, sleeping at home during the day, going out to eat and drink at night, and never returning home until dawn.
Three days later, Tan Jia and the others really came back, saying that the above attached great importance to this matter, and the jade with the head of a snake body was also left there. As Professor Sun expected, after careful consideration, Professor Sun did not have to participate in the future mission, but the responsibility of staying in the base camp was none other than Professor Sun.
What is very exciting is that two months later, Li Yishan's body is basically fine, and he has gone through the discharge procedures and returned to the villa. In order to catch him up and wash the dust, we specially held a banquet at home, and that night, it was the happiest day for everyone, everyone opened their hearts and talked nonsense, and they all fell drunk in the living room.
In the last ten days of the holiday, Biaozi and I went back to the countryside, and after the two of us suddenly disappeared for a few months, my parents were very worried. However, Biaozi and I thought of a rhetoric on the road, and lied to them that Changsha could not be mixed up, and now the two of us have partnered to develop in the capital, and because of the busy business, it is rare to have time to go home.
After living at home for a week, Biaozi and I planned to visit Lao Cai, but unexpectedly, this guy was more chic than us, took a long vacation, took his wife and children to travel abroad, and it was estimated that he would not come back in ten days, so this time, we missed the opportunity to have a long talk with Lao Cai.
Later, Biaozi and I went to Erya's house again, and because of my help, their family's life improved, but it was still more difficult. Before I came back with Biaozi, I asked Tan Jia to get money once, because I just joined the scientific research group, so the salary is not much, only 100,000 yuan, we kept half of it for ourselves, and the other half was given to Erya's family, of course, it was donated to them in the name of the big boss and philanthropist from the north.
Erya's family was so moved that while crying, they said that we are good people, and we are simply the reincarnation of a living Bodhisattva. I was secretly entangled in my heart for a long time, and I almost told the whole truth, but when I thought that they would not be able to stand this kind of stimulation, I insisted on hiding the matter of Erya.
After returning to Changsha, we still had ten days to go during the holiday, and during this time, Biaozi and I didn't go anywhere, just stayed at home to sleep, watched TV when we were free, or followed Wu Jian to the gymnasium for training. In just ten days, I and the standard have improved in all aspects of the assessment, but there is still some distance from reaching the standard.
Three months passed in a blink of an eye, and we returned to our roles and began to worry about the matter of immortality, but since the last incident, the relationship between everyone has improved, and it is no longer as intriguing as before, and we get along very well for a while, and we have really regarded each other as good partners.
As soon as the three-month holiday passed, it was the middle of summer, and on this day, Tan Jia called everyone to the conference room for a meeting, saying that there was a new development in things, and it was estimated that there would be action soon. She flipped through a folder and said to us, "After the last incident, the third uncle's gang disappeared as if out of thin air, and they never appeared again. The above thinks that this is good news, and while the third uncle and they are not moving, it is time to go to the desert. ”
Professor Zhang immediately nodded and said yes, he said excitedly: "The bone artifact taken out of the water monkey's nest last time, the words on it have been deciphered by the experts, and the experts agree that the Shanshan mentioned above must refer to the ancient country of Loulan, and the immortality mentioned above is also related to the ancient country of Shanshan, so the clues of the ancient country of Loulan are very important." ”
I remember that when I was in the tomb of the headless king, the third uncle told me that the underwater tomb must have some connection with the ancient kingdom of Loulan, and it is very likely to be the second clue to seek the path of immortality. At that time, I still felt a little hard to believe, but now that Professor Zhang said this, I don't believe it, and I can only believe it, and at the same time, I also admire the third uncle even more, everything can be seen at a glance.
This time, when they heard that they were going to leave for the desert, they no longer made any foolish jokes and said some alarmist arguments, but lowered their heads one by one, as if they were considering the danger of this mission and some places that needed to be considered.
After a while, seeing that everyone had not yet expressed their intentions, Tan Jia's eyes swept over everyone, and couldn't help but say: "If you have any ideas and proposals, you can say them, maybe it will help us in this mission." ”
Wu Jian raised his head and said: "The ruins of the ancient country of Loulan have been buried by the wind and sand, and now it has become a barren sand, we only know the approximate location of the ruins, whether we can find it or not is two different things, I think the success of this mission is very slim." ”
Tan Jia pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "Your concerns are very reasonable, and the above has already taken this into account, so the policy has been relaxed for us, if we really can't find the ancient city of Loulan, we can only return in vain." Looking at the others, Tan Jia continued to ask, "I don't know if you have any other questions." ”
Everyone discussed in a whisper, and Biaozi suddenly raised his hand, and before Tan Jia asked him to speak, this guy couldn't wait to say: "I heard that inexplicable things often happen near the ancient country of Loulan, causing many explorers to die for no reason, which is really weird. In my opinion, there must be a reason for such a strange thing to happen, maybe it is inseparable from ghosts and other things, or maybe it is the same as the Devil's Delta, there is some mysterious power there, and we have to guard against this. ”
Hearing this, Sankara didn't know what to think, nodded and said: "What the fat donor said is right, and have you noticed that there are so many deserts in the entire Xinjiang, and the area is vast and boundless, why there are so many strange things in the ancient country of Duduloulan, this is by no means a single coincidence that can be explained." ”
Although he broke his left arm, Professor Sun did not have the slightest sense of decadence, and his temperament did not change in the slightest from before, as if he did not take the matter of the broken hand to heart. Professor Sun couldn't stop nodding his head, and said seriously: "What Sankra said is very reasonable, there are so many strange things, but they are near the ancient country of Loulan, I think this matter is inseparable from the ancient country of Loulan, and there is even more suspicion of wanting to cover up." ”
Tan Jia carefully analyzed it and felt that this possibility was very likely, she said: "In this way, there must be a shocking secret hidden in the ancient kingdom of Loulan, and the people of Loulan don't want this secret to be known by the world, so they use some means that we can't imagine to stop those who go to explore the secret." This also explains why once someone approaches the ancient kingdom of Loulan, there are many strange events, either causing people to die mysteriously or disappearing forever. ”
Li Yishan's injuries have recovered, and at this moment he has returned to his previous sunny personality, smashed his mouth, and said with some surprise: "You mean, the strange phenomena that occurred near the ancient country of Loulan are all man-made, and they are the masterpieces of the ancient Loulan people?" But this is too unrealistic, do you think that someone will have the power to change the course of the plane? ”
Although Tan Jia decided that those strange things were done by the people of Guloulan, she really asked her to explain, but she still couldn't figure it out. Wu Jian saw that everyone was dumbfounded, and said indifferently: "You underestimate the wisdom of the ancients, have you forgotten the allusion that Zhuge Liang trapped Lu Xun's army with just a few stones?" And that Chiyou Ancestor, who once summoned the mist to trap the Yellow Emperor's army and defeat the enemy without a fight, do you think all this is really just a legend? ”
When Biaozi heard Wu Jian say this, he woke up like a dream, and seemed to think of something, and couldn't help exclaiming: "Little brother doesn't talk about this, I really didn't expect this point to come up." That's right, we must not underestimate the power of the ancients, let me tell you, it is recorded in ancient Feng Shui books, someone used the technique of the five elements to change the aura of the earth, so that the yin and yang reversed, forming an extremely powerful yin and yang array. Everything that comes close to that Yin and Yang Great Array will be devoured alive and alive, and it is simply in and out, while dead things, that is, souls and the like, can come and go freely in it. If this matter is true, then it is very likely that there is such a formation in the ancient country of Loulan, and even the yin and yang great array in the ancient country of Loulan is even more powerful than that recorded in the ancient books, so it has that kind of power beyond imagination. ”
Li Yishan shrugged his shoulders and said a little helplessly: "Okay, even if what you say is true, then with such a powerful Yin and Yang Great Array, do you have a way to deal with it?" ”
Biaozi didn't expect Li Yishan to ask such a question, he was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said: "If this formation is just an ordinary yin and yang array, I can use Feng Shui Yi Xue to change the aura of the earth, so that the yin and yang order there will be restored to the same as before." And the phenomenon in the ancient country of Loulan, at a glance, you can know that it is not an ordinary feng shui formation, this level of formation, let alone me, even if the old man Huangshi comes, it is estimated that he will have to pat his ass and leave. ”
Tan Jia saw that everyone was worried, and there was already a hint of retreat, so he said inspiringly: "Don't imagine things too complicated, maybe our guess is wrong, maybe we can't say, even the mysterious black bamboo ditch, we can safely shuttle through it, are we still afraid of that desert where no grass grows?" ”
Everyone looked back and felt that Tan Jia's words made sense, and the tense atmosphere was greatly reduced for a while, and they began to discuss the specific itinerary. After discussing for more than two hours, we settled everything and prepared to start the next morning. (To be continued.)
