Chapter 3: Departure for Guangxi
I was blinded by the sudden surprise of Gao Si's hand, and nodded reflexively. Seeing that I nodded in confirmation, Gao Sishou laughed: "I know." ”
I thought to myself, what do you know? Isn't it just a piece of red cloth? What's so strange about that? Gao Si rubbed his hands together, looking very confident, and he said: "If there is only one red cloth, it may be eight ~ nine and ten." ”
"Brother Shao, do you know the five elements?" Gao Sishou saw me there and asked me. How can anyone in the Chinese not know the five elements? So, I replied, "What did Brother Gao say, metal, wood, water, fire, and earth? ”
Gao Sishou nodded again and again, and smiled, "Yes, it's this gold, wood, water, fire, and earth." After speaking, he turned his head and looked at Gen Lao Dao: "Brother, the five elements also represent the direction, right?" ”
Gen Lao's expression was shocked at this time, his eyes narrowed, and he nodded: "That's right, there is such a saying, the east wood, the south fire, the west gold, the north water, the central earth, and the five elements not only represent the direction, but also the color." ”
Without waiting for Gen Lao to finish speaking, Gao Sishou rushed to say: "Haha, Aoki, Red Fire, Platinum, Black Water, Loess, I'm right, right?" Dude. ”
Gen Lao nodded yes, and as soon as I heard it, I immediately understood what they meant. "So, this human skin scroll wrapped in red cloth represents the south?"
Gao Si clapped his hands: "That's right! Brother Shao can understand it at one point. ”
Then, as if he had thought of something, he sat back in his chair and sighed. He said: "However, the area of this southern area is really not small, and it is not an exaggeration to find the location marked inside, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is looking for a needle in a haystack." ”
My heart moved, the mailing address showed Guangxi, and this Guangxi is not the south. So he said: "My ancestor seems to have been an official in Guangxi, Brother Gao, you say, will it be in Guangxi?" ”
When Gao Sishou heard me say this, his spirit was shocked, and he raised his head and hurriedly asked, "Brother Shao, do you know the specific position of your ancestor as an official?" When he saw me nodding, he was full of joy and excitement like a child.
"Brother Shao, are you interested in going and finding out?" Seeing that I hesitated, he hurriedly said: "Don't worry, I am responsible for all the equipment needed. ”
When he saw that I still didn't speak, and thought that I was still not satisfied with his offer, he quickly told me in a begging tone. He said: "Actually, I don't really want any treasures, I haven't been on the ground for too long, or you have eight and I have two?" ”
I don't really have any ideas, I just want to know if this thing has anything to do with my parents, whether they live or die. I looked at Gen Lao, and when I saw him blinking and signaling me to agree, I nodded and said yes in confusion.
In this way, we made an appointment to set off in three days, and Gao Sishou left in a hurry with a happy face.
As soon as Gao Si left, I was still sitting on the stool and was stunned. Gen Lao said at this time: "Shao boy, don't think so much, maybe this trip to Guangxi can solve the mystery in your heart." ”
Perhaps, I'd like to know what the hell is going on.
Gen Lao knows a lot of things, I only regard this trip as a trip, but Gen Lao attaches great importance to it, and told us all kinds of matters that need to be paid attention to, even the customs and habits of Guangxi He knows a lot, so I have a lot of knowledge.
Trivia is not listed.
Early in the morning of the third day, I went to the antique shop to wait for the high four hands, the antique shop was not open, I thought they hadn't gotten up yet, went around to the back door and knocked on the door, but I didn't expect to open the door for me without knocking twice.
When I went in, I saw that the crazy big and the old man were there, and the crazy big was begging the old man to ask for the treasure of their town store.
I've seen the treasure of the town's shop, which I stole out to show off in front of me before the madman, and it was a soft sword that could be used as a belt.
The whole body of the sword is black and shiny, I don't know what material it is made of, although it is not as exaggerated as sharpening iron like clay, but it is really okay to blow hair and break hair.
At that time, I didn't believe it, and I said that I was crazy and bragging, and I took my sword and slashed at the pier, which was made of reinforced concrete, and it was very hard, and it was scratched by the madness, but there was no curling blade or notch on the sword.
I just sighed, what a sharp weapon! Crazy said, there are two swords, male and female, the female sword is a soft sword, and the male sword is not a soft sword, it is a thick type, three feet long.
No matter how crazy the crazy grinds and hard bubbles, he almost rolls on the ground, and the root always refuses to agree.
I laughed at him, "Crazy, you can pull it, even if you give it to you, it won't be used, don't hurt yourself, besides, you are a cheap yourself, there is no need to be cheap, right?" ”
The madman gave me a look, and he didn't realize that I was scolding him: "What do you know? I learned swordsmanship from the old man Chen in the park every morning, and I played it well, do I want to tell you this? ”
I know that the old man Chen will exercise in the park of the community every morning, and it is said that he was also a soldier like my parents, and he was also a famous broadsword team at that time.
It's okay not to say crazy, but I laughed out loud as soon as I said it, "Crazy, I remember that old man Chen was playing with a knife, right?" ”
Madness glared at me fiercely, turned his head with a sad face, and said to Gen Lao with a crying voice: "Gen Lao, let's go, I'm afraid that it will be more auspicious and less auspicious, if we really have any accidents, alas! ”
This was originally a joke, but when I listened to it, I felt a chill in my heart, and hurriedly shouted: "Crazy, don't talk nonsense with a crow's mouth." ”
Gen Lao didn't speak, walked into the room, and when he came out, he was holding a dark red wooden box, about the same size as a moon cake box, and it was carved with patterns.
Crazy pounced with a happy face, opened the box, and took out a short-caliber gun that resembled a flintlock pistol from it.
I don't know much about guns, I've seen one in movies before, and as soon as the character fires a gun, the muzzle of the gun smokes, and then he blows into the muzzle. At that time, I thought it was very handsome, so I also checked the information.
The third child and I also walked over to take a look, and the crazy big looked like he couldn't put it down, stroking the short-caliber gun, and his mouth was still slurking, and the corners of his mouth were hanging behind his ears.
He smiled, "Oops, I haven't touched a gun since I came back from the army, I really miss it fuckingly, I didn't expect Gen Lao to have this good thing." ”
There are also two daggers in the box, which look very quaint. At this time, Gen Lao said: "These three things are all used by me before, and each of you will take one for self-defense." ”
I took a dagger with the third child, the handle and the knife cut were all wooden, the whole was dark red, and it was also carved with patterns, and the upper and lower parts of the scabbard were tied with ribbons, which were supposed to be used to fix them to the arms or legs.
I grabbed it in my hand, it felt very good, and I pulled out the dagger, the oil was shiny, and it seemed that Gen Lao loved it very much.
I was embarrassed to ask for it, but I could see that these things were all Gen Lao's beloved things, and I just wanted to say goodbye, but I saw Gen Lao waving his cigarette stick and glaring at me, and the meaning was already obvious.
I had no choice but to take it and tie the dagger to the calf of my right leg, and Gen Lao squinted his eyes and smiled lovingly.
Crazy Da looked high-spirited, crossed his waist with his left hand, and pointed to the sky with a gun in his right hand and shouted: "The wind is sluggish and the water is cold, let's go and return." ”
Gao Sishou arrived near noon, driving a nanny car, looking domineering. I didn't get out of the car, honked the horn in front of the door, Gen Lao repeatedly told us to be careful, and the three of us nodded again and again.
After getting into the car, Gao Si started the car with his hands, and we were getting farther and farther away from the antique shop, I don't know why, I always felt faintly uneasy in my heart.
Later, I learned that at this moment, there were several people watching us leave.
The first person saw us go away, smiled strangely, and then disappeared.
A person in the second place wanted to speak and stopped, and the person who was called "Sixth Brother" next to him sighed: "I know, but time is running out. After a moment of silence, he also disappeared.
The person in the third place was sitting in the car, and a middle-aged man in the passenger seat of the car kept wiping his sweat with a tissue - on such a hot day, the heating was still on in the car!
The co-pilot watched us leave, turned his head to a person in the back seat of the car, and said, "Grandpa, you say, can he finish collecting it in such a short time?" ”
The person who was called grandpa in the back seat of the car was wearing a thick coat, his body was still shaking, and he seemed to be surprisingly cold, and he didn't answer the co-pilot's words, and he couldn't stop coughing while shivering.
If you look at his face again, you can't see his face, this man is wearing a ghost mask!
The co-pilot saw that the ghost-faced man was still shivering, turned his head to the person next to him and said in a commanding tone: "Turn on the heating again." ”
At this time, Ghostface stopped coughing a little and said, "Look at Providence" The sound was like scraping a blackboard with a fingernail, extremely harsh, and couldn't help but make the listener's throat itch.
After a moment of silence, the co-pilot said, "Then should we follow?" ”
The ghost-faced man coughed again: "No, don't wait until the time is ripe" and pointed to the antique shop, "You go and call him out"
The co-pilot nodded in agreement and got out of the car and walked towards the antique shop. After a while, Gen Lao frowned, and followed the co-pilot out of the antique shop with a puzzled expression, "Who?" Who's looking for me? Isn't there a name? Gen Lao asked the co-pilot.
The co-pilot stopped and sneered: "Name? He really doesn't have a name, you'll know when you go. After speaking, he didn't care about the old man, and walked to the car by himself.
Gen Lao hesitated for a moment but followed, and as soon as he walked to the car, the window glass in the back seat of the car slowly lowered. The ghost-faced man stared at Gen Lao in a daze, and said to Gen Lao in a voice like dead wood: "Little little red"
Unexpectedly, it was such a simple two words, as if there was magic, when Gen Lao heard it, his legs were weak, and he sat down on the ground with a frightened face, pointing at the ghost-faced man and saying in horror: "You you"
The car had just driven out a short distance, and I just wanted to close my eyes and rest, when the third child sitting opposite me suddenly changed his face, blinking at me desperately with a frightened face, and his mouth was moving one by one.
"What? Third, it's okay for you. I asked, confused. The third child still didn't make a sound, and I saw that his mouth seemed to be saying: "Back back"
I turned my head and looked behind me in confusion, and in an instant, my startled brain buzzed on the spot, and my scalp tingled for a while, and I almost cried out.
Behind us was a paper man wearing sunglasses
