1977, Ganzhou, Jiangxi.

The world of antique shops.

The room was very quiet, and the cigarettes could not calm my mood at this time, all kinds of emotions rushed in, stirring my brain with a faint pain, and the events of these days were one after another, which made me feel helpless.

Half a month ago, I was still traveling in Hunan, but three days ago I woke up in the hospital inexplicably, and the doctor told me that I had been in a coma in the hospital for three days after being hit the back of the head.

My first reaction was that I was robbed, but what I didn't expect was that my things were the same.

This is not strange. Strangely, I looked at the date and realized that I still had a week's memory blank after the three days I was in a coma.

If it hadn't happened next, maybe I'd have forgotten about it all soon. When I returned home after being discharged from the hospital, I found a note on the coffee table, and at a glance, I knew that it was my father's handwriting.

There are only five words on it - kindness, bird hug.

I knew as soon as I saw that it was written in words in the dialect of our hometown, which meant - be careful, don't call the police.

At that time, I panicked and called my parents, but they couldn't get through, and I searched everywhere, but to no avail. Within a few days, I was sure that my parents were missing

Just when I was in a hurry, another package was sent from an unfamiliar place, and the contents of the contents even looked at the old man who had been running an antique shop for many years and shook his head.

I vaguely know in my heart that these things happen together, and I'm afraid it's not simple.

At this moment, I'm crazy, the third, and the root. The four of us sat in the inner hall of the Great World and waited for a person with a very strange name, Gao Sishou. Gen said that perhaps he could tell what was inside the package.

According to Gen Lao, the senior fourth hand is quite legendary and is an expert in "inverted fighting".

And the real name of this high four hands is not surnamed Gao, nor is it called four hands, high four hands have no father and no mother since childhood, no name and no surname, and they are mixed in the ranks of the three religions and nine streams all the year round.

However, the senior four hands are talented and intelligent, and some of the side doors are self-taught, stealing, blinding, abducting, and deceiving. Especially stealing, others call thieves three-handed means that thieves are fast, like having three hands.

This high four-handed is even more powerful, and others are sighing, 'high, powerful', calling it 'no shadow, as fast as lightning, more than three hands, but four hands'. In this way, over time, he was called the high four hands. Since then, he has taken this name as his surname.

Although Gao Sishou was among some rogue ruffians, this man miraculously emerged from the mud without staining. With his quick skills and exquisite skills, he neither gambled nor prostituted, and soon became quite worthy, and opened a pawnshop in his early seventeens.

"If there is no next thing, maybe Gao Sishou's life will be free." These are the original words of Gen Lao.

One day, Gao Sishou walked around the market when he had nothing to do, and when he saw the crowds of people in the market, he was full of interest.

When I was tired of shopping, I found a tea shop and asked for a plate of peanuts and a pot of tea. Although it was just a pot of coarse tea, Gao Sishou didn't mind at all, and he still ate it with relish, and his mood was excellent.

Suddenly.

An old man in a dark green robe came into his eyes, although this old man looked like an old man but did not have the appearance of an old man, although he was dressed in coarse linen clothes, he had a faint feeling of being above people.

The old man has a straight body, a handsome face, especially a pair of eyes - resolute and fierce, like a pool of clear spring water, after looking at it for a long time, it can't help but make people feel cold, as if it can go straight to people's hearts and penetrate people's thoughts.

Gao Sishou was secretly frightened, his palms were sweating slightly unconsciously, and he hurriedly drank tea to suppress the feeling in his heart.

To Gao Sishou's surprise, the old man actually walked to a table next to Gao Sishou and sat down, and asked for a pot of tea and a plate of peanuts.

Gao Sishou couldn't hold back his curiosity, and once again secretly looked at the old man, this look didn't matter, and he looked out Gao Sishou's heart - I didn't expect that although the old man was wearing a coarse coat, he was wearing an ancient jade on his waist.

Gao Si's breathing became heavier, and his heart was pounding. Good stuff! It's been a long time since he's seen something that stirs his heart. Judging from his experience over the years, this ancient jade is not small, not to mention that it is almost the same as the price.

What is the origin of this high four-hand? Will you let go of the treasure in your eyes?

Gao Sishou was struggling very much in his heart, while telling himself that he was afraid that he couldn't afford to provoke this person, and on the other hand, he loved Gu Yu very much, and the feeling of itching hit his body and mind.

He gritted his teeth secretly, his hands clenched, and slowly adjusted his breathing, telling himself to calm down, calm again, calm again, calm again.

In the end, Gao Si made a decision with his heart in his hand, he took a deep breath, took out a few copper plates from his pocket and threw them on the table, then got up and walked past the old man calmly.

When Gao Sishou felt that he was holding a piece of cold in his hand, he was shocked, and then he was overjoyed, and secretly thought: Get it! As soon as this handwriting came out of my heart, suddenly a strong force came from my wrist, and Gao Sishou was secretly shocked: It's going to be bad!

I saw that the old man was still sitting straight on the stool, his eyes didn't look at Gao Si's hands, holding a teacup in one hand and grabbing Gao Sishou's wrist in the other.

The old man calmly took a sip of tea, and said slowly with a calm expression: "Little friend, so fast." After speaking, he looked at Gao Sishou with a smile.

Gao Sishou was shocked for a while, but he still wanted to prevaricate: "What are you talking about?" ”

The old man smiled unabated, did not answer, raised his wrist and did not see him exert force, only felt that it was a gentle pinch, but this gentle pinch made Gao Si's hand feel a heart-piercing pain, this pain, immediately let go of the clenched fist.

An ancient jade fell from Gao Si's hand like this, and the old man pushed it lightly, and Gao Si's hand stumbled and almost fell to the ground. I didn't see how the old man made a move, the ancient jade was already in his hand.

Where did Gao Sishou suffer this loss, and his face was immediately hot.

The old man still had a smile on his face, and he didn't look at Gao Si's hands, took a sip of tea and said, "Three days later, it will still be this market, if you can still touch this jade from me, I will give it to you." ”

Obviously, the old man took care of Gao Sishou's face, and he didn't say stealing, only touching. After that, the old man threw down a few tea money and walked away.

The senior in his hand is called a grievance, think about how he has been smooth sailing for so many years, not to mention that there are thousands of things that have walked in his hands, but there are always hundreds of thousands, and he has never been caught like today.

Thinking about it like this, Gao Sishou didn't think that his skills were not perfect, but felt that it was his carelessness that made the old man notice.

"Three days later, huh? Okay, then let you see my real ability! When the jade arrives, I'll see how you get off this stage! Gao Sishou said secretly.

Thinking like this, Gao Sishou was relieved, the weight of that ancient jade was not so heavy anymore, and what was heavy was how to let himself out of this evil breath.

At this time, there was a hot pain in the wrist, and Gao Si lifted his sleeve to see that there were five finger prints on his wrist. "This dead old man, what a ruthless method!" Gao Sishou gritted his teeth and said secretly.

Three days later, Gao Sishou was carefully dressed, and he saw himself in the mirror in his old state, hunched over, holding a one-legged cane, and he coughed a few times, as if he was about to die.

He smiled: "Dead old man, I didn't expect your master and me to have such a hand, right?" Today, I will let you know what it means to have a sky outside the sky, what is a mountain and a mountain high, hahahaha" After speaking, he touched his fake beard and staggered out.

Not to mention that Gao Sishou didn't succeed, but said that Gao Sishou returned home and restored his original appearance, and immediately transferred the pawnshop at a low price. Since then, he has not been seen or heard from.

And so it went by for decades.

One day, Gen Lao was sorting out the account books of the antique shop, when a middle-aged man with a panicked look suddenly ran in and shouted: "Brother, help!" It turned out that the middle-aged man was being chased and killed, and he ran in like a headless fly.

Without saying a word, Gen Lao Er immediately hid the middle-aged man in the dark compartment of the counter, and as soon as the person hid, four or five strong men broke in.

A few strong men came in and asked Gen Lao if he had seen a middle-aged man, and also described the appearance of the middle-aged man slightly, Gen Lao pretended to shake his head stupidly and said that he didn't see it, and the four or five people searched indiscriminately, and then swarmed away.

Afterwards, Gen Lao learned that the middle-aged man's name was Gao Sishou.

It turned out that the four hands of Gao who had changed their appearance still did not steal the ancient jade, so they worshipped the old man as a teacher, and this old man turned out to be the person from the Jieling Sect among the four factions of the inverted dou.

From then on, Gao Sishou followed the old man to the south and north, looking for the dragon and asking the hole. However, because Gao Sishou did not follow the rules of the industry, he was expelled from the door by the old man, and then he was chased and killed inexplicably before fleeing to the antique store and being rescued by the old man.

Later, Gao Sishou never forgot the kindness of Gen Lao, and all the stolen things were taken to the antique shop, and he did not offer a price, and he took as much as Gen Lao gave him. From time to time, I also look for the root old to drink tea or something, and there are gifts to the root old during the New Year's holidays.

Hearing this, we all sighed for a while, I think that this person is affectionate and righteous, and he knows how to repay his kindness, and he has a good impression for a while, and he really wants to meet this person.

As he was talking, a loud shout came from outside: "Brother! Gen Lao Yi said to us: "The fourth hand of the high school has arrived, go, go out to greet us." ”

The three of us went out with Gen Lao to have a look, a middle-aged man looked at us with a smile on his face, he saw Gen Lao, and hurriedly greeted Gen Lao and held Gen Lao's hand to say hello.

I took a closer look, this person has a flat haircut, slightly dark skin, a moderate figure, quite avant-garde dress, and a very handsome appearance.

However, I don't know why, I always feel that this person is full of an eerie ghost. Maybe it's because this man frequents the tomb, I think.

Gao Sishou greeted the old man and said, "Brother, didn't you say that there is something for me to see?" Where? Gen Lao said to the inner hall: "Go, inside." ”

It was a fan-shaped thing, and when I opened the package, there was a red cloth inside, and when I shook the red cloth away, it fell off.

The style of the thing is very simple, soft and delicate to the touch, and there are spots painted on it, which looks like a military map in ancient times.

As soon as Gao Sishou saw that thing, his body was obviously shocked, he grabbed it and felt it with his hand, put it under his nose and smelled it, and suddenly exclaimed: "This is human skin!" ”
