Chapter 2: Summer Vacation

Syllable!

An emerald green phone fell to the ground. (Call, call)

I was sleepy-eyed, my eyes were half-open and half-closed, and I took the phone, "Wei Hua, I'm still sleeping!" Why did you call me so early" with a hint of sleepiness in his words, I had nothing to do last night and studied the notebook until about three o'clock in the morning.

The other end of the phone was silent for a while, and then remembered a laugh: "It's ten o'clock, it's still early!" Let me tell you something, there are a few antique collection stores in Jinning City, Yunnan not long ago, my dad asked me to go to investigate first, it's not interesting for me to go alone, Xiao Ye and Dong Yu promised to go together, don't be hypocritical, you kid."

Before I could call back, Wei Hua hung up. "Hey, hey, hang up the phone so early, it's really a busy person, why are there so many missed calls, and they are all antique dad's, it's broken, it can't be that something happened!" The rows of missed calls on my phone were all from my antique father, and I hurriedly called back, "Dad, are you okay?" ”。

"If you don't come to your Uncle Tang's house again, something will happen."

Toot, toot, toot......

"What's going on today, I like to hang up the phone first"

(Old Tang, an expert in linguistics, is over half a hundred years old, his wife died young, he has no children, and is now single.) I used to teach at Haichang University, but now I am retired and have been good friends with my father for many years)

Half an hour later, in a house.

Before the voice arrived, "Dad, what the hell is going on!" As soon as I entered the house, I saw the antique father frowning, pacing back and forth, hurriedly coming up, and shouted to Uncle Tang, who was lying on the table and studying the notebook, "Uncle Tang is good."

Old Tang raised his head with a smile, "Xiao Ke! Where did you get this notebook, please tell Uncle Tang carefully, this matter is very important"

I didn't expect this to be the case, I hurriedly breathed a sigh of relief, waved my hand and said, "This is what I picked up, I went to the library yesterday to help Xiao Ye borrow books, and I dropped it alone, what's wrong?" ”

The father and the old Tang on the side glanced at each other, the old Tang stood up, walked towards the bookshelf on the side, and said slowly: "Although the text on this notebook is in Hani language, it has added many characters and strange marks, and the book is divided into six sections. Each section seemed to want to say something, but the person who recorded it deliberately used some special marks to cover up the secrets on it," said Old Tang, pointing to the top corner of the first page of the book and saying: "The four words above it mean to make heaven and earth, it seems to be a code word, I didn't understand it." If my father were still alive, he would be able to crack the secret of this notebook in a month."

It didn't take long for my dad to leave the notebook with Uncle Tang and go home with me.

I was slightly stunned and smiled, "That, Dad." Just now Wei Hua called me and told me that he was going to Yunnan for an inspection during the summer vacation, and you also know that I am studying history and should go out to study more. Dad, you see? ”。

"Give me your phone" Dad took the phone and walked towards the window, "That Wei Hua, I'm your Uncle Qin, just now you ......", I took the phone, with a nervous face, "Go, yes!" But you can't fight, you can't mess around."

Early the next morning, there were four people in the car.

Wei Hua and I sat in the front, and Xiao Ye and Dong Yu sat in the back.

"Wei Hua, thanks to you for helping me this time, otherwise I would have been placed under house arrest by my father this summer" I smiled, sat in the passenger seat, and did not forget to eat the potato chips in my hand.

"Who told you not to study hard, you are still not studying well in your junior year, and you have failed eight subjects in the final exam, which has never been done in Haichang University, and I don't know why the principal didn't fire you directly" Dong Yu said, grabbing his hand towards the potato chips, "Give me something to eat, stingy ghost, I don't understand what Xiao Ye likes about you."

"I said Dong Da is chattering, you don't know that I have always disliked exams, and I have a big head as soon as I take the exam. A good exam does not mean that people are smart, although my test results are not as good as your Dong Da chatter, but definitely smarter than your little head, every time you fight the landlord, I win you. I don't have an opponent, I'm very helpless."

"You...... Xiao Ye, you should take care of it" Dong Yu was speechless for a moment, his silver teeth were clenched, and his eyes glared at me as if he was about to breathe fire.

"Okay, Jinning City is almost here, don't quarrel, this time I have to thank Wei Hua for giving us this opportunity"

"After entering the city, let's go to a few antique collection stores first" Wei Hua waved his hand and said with a smile.

I don't know if it's because of the summer vacation, there are a lot of people in Jinning City, and it took a long time to find a parking space, and the LED display screen of the hotel in the city shows that it is fully rented or booked.

"It's still afternoon, maybe there will be a vacant room in the hotel in the evening, then, let's go to the antique collection store first, what do you think?" Wei Hua said, glancing at him.

"I'm just a mixed eater plus a flower messenger, Wei Hua, you just decide" I said and leaned towards Xiao Ye, Xiao Ye hurriedly dodged to the side, "It's a hot day, don't be greedy." Wei Hua, Dong Yu and I listen to you, you can lead the way."

The four of them first came to a store called Yao Ji Collection, the scale is considered to be at the upper level in the local area, and after looking at it for a long time, most of them are fakes, and then they went to a few more stores, all of which found nothing new, and at this time, they saw that the sky was getting dark. I stopped abruptly and stared at the tarpaulin on the ground, "Uncle, how do you sell these things?"

I saw that the old man's face was very dark, his head was lowered, he was dozing, and when he heard someone shouting to himself, he woke up, "Young man, my things are very cheap, no matter how big or small, ten yuan each."

"Uncle, I don't mind if I take it in my hand!" I said.

"Don't be so reserved, young man. These are all I dug out of the field, it's fine, just look," the old man waved his hand, stood aside, and shouted at the passers-by around him from time to time.

"Xiao Ke, what's wrong?" The three of them walked back from the front, and Xiao Ye was surprised.

"Look at this copper coin, although it is seriously damaged, it should be from the Chongzhen period of the Ming Dynasty."

"Really? I'll take a look," Wei Hua hurriedly took the copper coin, and an extra magnifying glass appeared in his hand, "Well, Xiao Ke is right." It's a pity that it's too damaged and has no collectible value." Speaking of this, Wei Hua's face suddenly changed, "Xiao Ke, did the old man just say that these things were dug in the field?" ”。

"Yes! What's wrong? ”

"In my opinion, there's probably something different around there. I see that the hotels are full now, so it's better to ......" Wei Hua's whole person suddenly became excited.

"Do you want to buy some" The old man saw that three more people came, and immediately smiled.

"Uncle, we bought them all. Discuss something with you, we are students of the History Department of Haichang University, but we are also more interested in archaeology, I don't know if it is inconvenient for the old man's family, let us stay for a night tonight, and tomorrow morning please take us to the place where you dig this copper coin to see" Wei Hua took out a few tickets and handed them to the old man.

"I can't take it all, and if I dig it out of the ground, it's not worth a few dollars. You are college students, we are warmly welcome in Xiaoshi Village, I will go to the village chief's house tonight to sleep, and I will take you there tomorrow morning. It's getting dark, and it's going to take an hour from here to Xiaoshi Village, so we'll go back now," the old man said that he wanted to carry the farm tools on the wall, and I immediately stepped forward and said with a smile: "Uncle, let me come."

"It's still college students who are polite and courteous! Originally, there was also a college student in our Xiaoshi Village, who should be the same age as your father in terms of time, but unfortunately he moved away more than 20 years ago......."
