Chapter 1: The Mystery Notebook
On a hot and humid day in June 2003, in the chemistry laboratory of Haichang University in Haichang City.
I stayed in a corner of the laboratory, busy with a small chemistry experiment, at this moment, a voice came from my ears: "Xiao Ke, help me go to the equipment room next to me to get a test tube, and by the way, bring some sulfuric acid" A middle-aged man in a white coat, his temples were a little gray, and his voice was a little anxious, and he shouted at me.
I put on the alcohol cap, and when I saw that there was nothing wrong, I immediately replied: "Mr. Lu, I'll get it for you."
Hello everyone, my name is Qin Xiaoke, a native of Haichang City, Jiangsu Province, my mother died of dystocia at an early age, and my father was busy with work. I didn't like to study since I was a child, I loved to practice martial arts, and after I stayed up to high school, I suddenly opened my mind, and I was fascinated by history at that time, and after learning that the score was enough for the admission score of Haichang University, I resolutely filled in the history department of Haichang University. When I really went to college, I suddenly didn't love history as much as I did in high school, but I fell in love with chemistry, and I often watched physics.
Just as I was about to leave, a mobile phone prompt sounded suddenly, "Dududu" (In order to celebrate the end of the final exam, Wei Hua invited guests to dinner at Yaxian Restaurant, the time was half past five in the evening, you still have half an hour, by the way, help me go to the library to pick up the book "How to Choose Friendship and Love" - Xiao Ye).
Xiao Ye: My high school classmate, after going to college, after nearly three years of getting along, just became my girlfriend a few months ago. Xiao Ye's father is a government worker, the mayor of Haichang City, he is relatively honest, likes calligraphy, and treats people kindly, while his mother is a full-time wife.
Looking at the information on my phone, I didn't dare to be sloppy, "The title of this book is really weird, that Mr. Zhao, I'm sorry, I'm going to a place, I have to find a book during the period, time is pressing, I'll be your assistant next time" I showed a hint of apology and quickly ran towards the library.
Teacher Zhao smiled slightly, "This kid is fortunate to have no inheritance from Lao Qin" Suddenly, his face changed, and a strong sour smell filled the laboratory, "It's not good, just patronize and talk, and forget to do business."
………………
As soon as I arrived at the library, I heard a joking voice: "Xiao Ke, I haven't seen you come to the library for eight hundred years, how did you remember to run to the library today." Xiao Ye sent a message just now, half past five, Yaxian Restaurant. I'll go first, don't you forget."
The woman who spoke was Xiao Ye's friend, named Dong Yu, and her home was in Guangdong Province. Dong Yu was admitted to the History Department of Haichang University with excellent results. His parents were both maritime workers, and it is rumored that his deceased grandfather was still a seafarer and enjoyed a good reputation in the local area.
I showed an embarrassed smile on my face, scratched my head with my hand, and after seeing Dong Yu leave, my eyes quickly swept towards the bookshelf.
Time passed, twenty minutes passed, "Oh my God, finally let me find you" The top column of the bookshelf was covered by a group of books, if it weren't for my eyes being more thief, ordinary people probably wouldn't be able to see it, "I have to hurry up" Grabbing the book, I just left, didn't run far, at this time a young man of the same age as himself walked by, and suddenly only heard a loud "boom", and both of them fell to the ground.
I quickly got up, and my arm was still slightly painful, "Brother, I'm sorry!" I'm in the second class of the history department in my junior year, I'm in a hurry, I'll invite you to drink next time" I said and grabbed the book that fell on the ground and ran towards the outside of the library, I didn't run far, I felt that the hand felt wrong, I looked down, I saw that there was still an old notebook in my hand, I opened it and glanced at it, only to see that it was full of some words that I couldn't understand, "It should be that person who fell off" Wait for me to run back, I swept back and forth many times, and I have long since disappeared from the person just now, "Forget it, I told him just now, I think he will find me"
Just as I arrived at the Yaxian Restaurant and entered the door, Dong Yu's voice began to linger in my ears again, and I thought to myself that this was broken. "Qin Xiaoke, you can do it! Xiao Ye is a good person, he doesn't care about you being late. I usually don't see you caring about my family Xiao Ye, as Xiao Ye's best sister, I can't stand it anymore, what do you say? Dong Yu's short hair showed a capable spirit, stood up, and stared at Qin Xiaoke with both eyes.
When I heard this, the whole person was stunned, and I secretly hated Dong Yu in my heart, when I made Xiao Ye his girlfriend, this Dong Yu tried his best to stop it, I really don't know if I had a feud with her in my last life. "Dong Yu, forget it, you see that he is sweating profusely, did the book help me find it?" Xiao Ye smiled sweetly, with long hair, compared to Dong Yu's healthy wheat-colored skin, Xiao Ye's skin looked much fairer.
I smiled apologetically and hurriedly copied the small notebook into my pocket, "I'm sorry, there was an accident on the way, and I found the book for you."
Handing the book to Xiao Ye's hand, I hurriedly stepped back, smoothed the bulging pockets, Dong Yu's eyes were sharp, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, and said: "Qin Xiaoke, carry us Xiao Ye behind your back, hide any good things, and don't hand them over."
Hearing Dong Yu's inquiry, my head hurt, "I said Dong Da chatter, you are really endless!" Whoever marries you will be annoyed to death by you."
This time, Dong Yu was quiet, standing aside, not knowing what he was thinking.
At this moment, a burly young man with an age similar to Qin Xiaoke walked in, "Everyone is here, something's wrong, it's a little late."
This person's name is Wei Hua, his father is a businessman, who runs real estate and antique collections, and his mother is a full-time wife.
As soon as Wei Hua came, Dong Yu glanced at me again and said with a smile: "It's okay, Wei Hua, you are more generous, unlike some people who invited me and Xiao Ye to eat KFC once last time."
I hurriedly complained: "O conscience of heaven and earth! Just you, last time you were reincarnated like a starving ghost, and ate my instant noodle money for three months, big sister, I still have to save money to buy chemistry books! Don't treat such a good person to be wronged" I immediately turned bitter, Wei Hua hurriedly stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, "Brother, it's so bitter, do I want to borrow you."
I hurriedly smiled back at Wei Hua and said, "That's not it", and then glared at Dong Yu viciously, "That, Wei Hua, let you break the bill today!" Serve more meat dishes, I've been eating instant noodles for a month, and I have to make up for it."
The sky had already darkened, and Xiao Ye and Dong Yu left together. Wei Hua said goodbye in a hurry for some things, and I went home alone, and when I left, I didn't forget to glare at Dong Yu a few times, I had planned to be a flower messenger.
Just as I was quietly about to walk into my room, a sharp voice suddenly sounded in my ears: "Stop! You know it's back! "The person who spoke was none other than my father, Qin Dahai. (Qin Dahai: Professor of History at Haichang University, Director of the Institute of Archaeology, Career-minded, unsmiling, colleagues privately called "Qin Lao Zhuang" but no one dared to shout head-on, I am called an antique father, derailed from the times)
When I saw this, I couldn't get out, turned around and smiled: "Dad, you're looking at exploration again!" I won't disturb you watching TV" said, I was about to leave, and the antique father's face suddenly darkened, "You sit down for me."
Seeing that I couldn't back down and that my tone was wrong, I hurriedly sat aside and immediately lowered my head.
The antique father was full of anger, and the whole person stood up, "Just now your head teacher called me to tell me that you have failed eight of your nine exams, and there is one because Lao Li of that subject is my good friend, and he reluctantly let you live, you said that you have been doing something for most of the year, and the books are not good to read." Why do you put your head down so low and raise your head".
The paper can't hold the fire, I was still thinking about how to tell my dad, now it's okay, the antique dad himself knows, "Dad, I was wrong" I whispered back, my eyes looking at the antique dad from time to time.
My father looked very angry and scolded me: "Don't give me this set, blame me, your mother died early, and no one cared about you since you were a child, so you are used to being unrestrained." This summer, you don't want to go anywhere, stay at home for me, and study my homework well."
My heart suddenly froze, and I couldn't help but hand my eyes to the TV, "Another cultural relic has been unearthed, hey, the text on it, I seem to have seen it somewhere!" My face was shocked, and a flash of inspiration flashed in my mind, "Yes, this is it" hurriedly took out the small notebook from his pocket, "Dad, the shape of the text on this is exactly the same as the shape of the cultural relics on the TV just now, it should be the same font, I can't read it, you can show it."
The antique father's face changed suddenly, and his brows immediately wrinkled, "I can't understand this text, tomorrow morning, I'll go to your Uncle Tang's, he is an expert in linguistics, he should know" The antique father took the notebook and frowned immediately, "What I just said remains the same, don't want to sneak out during the summer vacation, unless you get my permission, if you dare to sneak out, I will cut off your financial resources."
My face changed immediately, and I said bitterly: "Dad, you can't do this."
