Chapter 50: Diaries and Chinese Names

I inadvertently found suspicious in the journal, I followed this clue and continued to read, and then I picked out several strange things: 30 yuan for a crane beak hoe on September 28, 1997, 300 yuan for a medical gas mask on September 30, and 50 yuan for a shadowless flashlight on October 15...... There were no less than twenty such accounts in two months, all of which were strange things other than daily necessities. I put everything together, and suddenly found that this is a complete set of tomb robbery equipment, or underground archaeological equipment, especially the pickaxe, which is simply ironclad. Could it be that my sister went to rob the grave? With doubts, I continued to flip through the diary below, and next to the pile of blank pages that appeared, I flipped through a few pages, and the text began to appear again, and I read the words in it, which had nothing to do with the previous account.

On March 14, 1998, the archaeological team had reached the depths of the Xing'an Mountains, where there were no people around, and there were only endless primeval forests as far as the eye could see. Xiao Li, who was traveling with him, could not adapt and had a fever, so we injected him with antipyretics, but his condition did not improve much. Almost every stream we encountered was frozen, and we had to break the ice to get water, or simply take the ice and boil the water. When I asked the archaeological captain when he said today, he didn't answer me explicitly, but I felt like we might not be far from our destination.

On March 17, 1998, Xiao Li's condition deteriorated, and in order for him to receive better treatment, Wang Jian and Wu Wenlei sent him back to the nearest city, and the archaeological team was reduced by three people at once. In reality, it was more difficult than we thought, and we began to run out of food, and we had to find a way to find some substitutes in the forest to sustain ourselves, and we really didn't know how long it would last. To lighten the load, we threw away some of our tents and everyone tried to change into light clothing. Hopefully we'll be able to get to our destination sooner.

On March 19, 1998, I was in a particularly good mood today, and the face of the archaeological team leader was no longer worried, and I listened to Professor Wang, who was with me, that we had found the ancient tomb, and we were ready to go down in the past two days, and I was very excited that I could finally follow the archaeological team to explore the tomb, and I think this would be a major milestone in the history of journalism, at least for me. Everyone was sitting nervously and orderly to prepare, and it could be seen that everyone was actually very happy. I had a good meal at noon, I haven't eaten so full for a long time.

On March 20, 1998, the weather was worse today, since the morning, the snow has been falling non-stop, and there is a growing trend, the temperature has dropped very quickly, we are wearing cotton clothes are shivering, everyone is pale, in order to avoid greater losses caused by the wind and snow, the archaeological team leader decided to go to the tomb in advance. But today I learned that the entrance to the tomb was originally under a large stone slab in the center of the river, and because of the weather, we had to make a lot of effort to lift the stone slab, and the group finally entered the tomb before it was buried in heavy snow.

When I looked down again, there was a blank page, with only a few strangely shaped symbols, and they were not drawn with a pen, but with a hard object. The content of the diary is completely cut off here, but from these diaries, it can be concluded that my sister must have personally gone to the ancient tomb, ruling out the possibility that this diary was brought in by others. When she entered the tomb, she was an archaeological team, and if the archaeological team was able to send two people to send the wounded out, it could be estimated that the number of people in this team was at least ten. The question is what happened to them when they entered the tomb, but the diary does not record it at all. But the people who went down to the tomb together at that time must know the reason, as long as one of them is found, it is best to find the archaeological captain at that time, they can know.

Thinking of my sister's workplace, after my sister's disappearance, the police also did an investigation, but there was not a word in the transcript mentioning archaeology, could it be that the narrator did not tell the truth? After thinking about it, it is not very likely, at that time, in addition to the unit leaders, there were also a few good colleagues of my sister, and it was impossible for all of them to say that they didn't know, excluding the possibility of collusion, that is, they really didn't know. Then I thought that after they entered the Xing'an Mountains, there were still three people who returned the same way, Xiao Li, who was unwell, and Wang Jian and Wu Wenlei who sent him out, even if this Xiao Li did not mention his name, but Wang Jian and Wu Wenlei were very clear, I decided to go to my sister's original work unit in the near future to find these two people.

It was not early, I put my notebook away and put it in the drawer, looked at the two beads on the table, and after thinking about it, I didn't see anything, so I put it away and put it in the drawer, and by the way, I added a lock to it.

The next morning, I cleaned up and went to the store first. After the cleaning of the young couple that day, everything was completely new and looked refreshed. After making a pot of tea, I sat at the counter and sipped tea while surfing the Internet, enjoying this rare comfort.

Suddenly, the door of the store was pushed open, and I thought that a customer had arrived, but when I saw it, it was Kaoru Mochizuki, who had been here two days ago. I said in my heart that this person came uninvited, and I just happened to probe her tone.

I pretended not to see it, continued to drink my tea, and went on my net. Mochizuki walked straight in front of me, and I was still unmoved, just as if she was air.

"Mr. Ling, you Chinese, is this how you treat guests?" Mochizuki was the first to speak.

As soon as I heard this, it was all about nationality, and I must not show weakness. "It depends on whom, a friend comes with good wine, and if a jackal comes, he is greeted with a shotgun." I'm a little complacent about my clever answer, and see how you little Japanese sing to me.

Unexpectedly, or this itself should have been thought of, Mochizuki didn't mean what I was singing these two sentences, but looked at me twice and said something I couldn't think of: "Welcome to singing, I received my heart, but Mr. Ling didn't sing very well." ”

I waved my hand, and said in my heart that I don't talk nonsense, "You don't care if I sing well or not, the artistic conception is the most important." Say, what is the imperial army doing? "I unceremoniously called Kaoru Mochizuki the "Imperial Army", mainly to stimulate her.

Unexpectedly, she was not angry or happy, and she had no abnormal reaction when she heard the word "Imperial Army", and said lightly: "The fragrance on Mr. Ling's body is getting stronger and stronger." ”

This sentence hit my sore spot all at once, and I pretended to be calm, "What a fragrance, don't talk nonsense." "At this time, I still pretended not to know about it.

Kaoru Mochizuki didn't refute me, but said, "If you don't object, I'll wait for you on the second floor of Jufeng Building at noon today, and we can have a good talk." After saying that, he went out on his own, leaving me alone.

To go or not to go? Since Kaoru Mochizuki left, I couldn't calm down anymore, and two guests came in the morning, and I just sent them off after saying a few words. At noon, I locked the door of the store and walked to the Jufeng Teahouse. When I arrived at the door, I suddenly began to hesitate to enter or not, and a few minutes later, I stepped into the teahouse.

No one noticed me coming in, and I turned straight to the stairs on my right hand and went up the second floor. The decoration of Jufeng Tea House is relatively simple, the staircase is wooden, and stepping on it makes the sound of squeaking wood being squeezed and deformed.

As soon as I went up to the second floor, I saw Kaoru Mochizuki standing at the door of the private room, and when she saw me coming up, she turned around and returned to the private room. I opened the curtain and went in, and she was the only one inside, drinking tea alone.

"How do you know I'm back?" I asked.

"Listen to the footsteps." Kaoru Mochizuki replied. Apparently she didn't understand what I meant.

"Then how do you know it's going to be me?" I simply followed her train of thought.

"Because I took care of the second floor, and told the waiter to only let you come up." Kaoru Mochizuki said lightly. After listening to her answer, my face was suddenly full of black lines, the level of the president is different, and I will cover it when I say it.

"Officially get to know Kaoru Mochizuki, the deputy general manager of Mochizuki Antiques Co., Ltd., you can call me Kaoru Mochizuki or call me Kaoru." Kaoru Mochizuki generously stretched out his hand to me, and there was some innocence in his eyes.

For innocent women, there is no reason for ordinary people to refuse, including me. I stretched out my hand and shook her hand, "Ling Yue, you can call me by my name without adding the word sir, Jade Wind Pavilion Master." "I thought about it for a long time, and I didn't know if I was the boss or the manager, so I simply added the title of head cabinet master to myself.

Kaoru Mochizuki smiled and said, "I didn't expect Boss Ling to be quite funny, in fact, I also have a Chinese name, called Zhao Jia." ”

I said in my heart that there was another person surnamed Zhao, and I casually asked: "Yes, you are not Japanese, why do you still have a Chinese name?" ”

Kaoru Mochizuki sat up straight, cleared her throat, and talked about her life experience, and after telling the story, I understood the reason and why she had a Chinese name.

It turns out that Kaoru Mochizuki's ancestors, I can't tell how many generations ago, were a general in the Southern Song Dynasty of China, and what I can know is that this general's surname is Zhao Ming. Zhao Hequan is the descendant of Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty, but later because Zhao Guangyi, the younger brother of Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty, took over the throne of his brother, so Zhao Kuangyin's children and grandchildren actually did not have the opportunity to ascend the throne and become emperor. It was not until the Southern Song Dynasty that the throne returned to Zhao Kuangyin, and at this time Zhao Heyong was already far from the throne.

At the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, Zhao Heyong put all his energy into resisting the Mongol invasion and tried to turn the tide, but unfortunately the rotten regime of the Southern Song Dynasty failed to stop the rising Mongolian iron cavalry, and finally Lin'an was broken.

Zhao Heyong led a troop and vowed not to surrender and fought to the end. The Mongols tricked open the gates of the city and entered the city. Seeing that the city gate was broken and the tide of Mongolian cavalry poured into the city, Zhao Heyong thought that he was ineffective in battle, and he was ashamed and angry, so he pulled out his sword and wanted to kill himself on the spot, but fortunately stopped him left and right, and said to him, "If the general dies today, can he save the Great Song Hu?" It's nothing more than a white bone, why not save your life and plan again in the future. ”

The meaning of the subordinates is very clear, you don't have to worry about everything when you die now, but what help will it help to save the Great Song Dynasty? Where there is life, there is hope. Under the persuasion of the left and right, Zhao Heyong finally gave up committing suicide, because the Mongols hunted and killed a large number of Southern Song Dynasty soldiers, Zhao Heyong and several of his subordinates dressed up as flat-headed people, and planned to hide among the refugees in cloth clothes and prepare to sneak out of the city.

Although he was dressed up quietly, when he went out of the city, he was still pulled out by the Mongolian soldiers who opened the door, and several people thought that they were recognized, and they planned to give it a go, and they would have to pull a cushion to die. The Mongolian soldiers talked a lot to the people next to them, and after a while, the man came over to them and said that they were in good shape, and they were willing to join the army to serve the Great Yuan Emperor Kublai Khan.

It is no wonder that several people have been found out, because they have been engaged in combat activities and military training for a long time, and the bodies of several people are obviously much tougher than other ordinary people, and they appear tall and sturdy. A few people in total, anyway, I don't know where to start to oppose the Yuan Dynasty and the Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty army was almost all wiped out, and the Yuan army was pursuing to the south, instead of looking for the Song army aimlessly, it was better to join the Yuan army to go deep into the enemy, find an opportunity to break through from the inside, give him a "Infernal Affairs", make up your mind, Zhao Heyong and several people agreed to join the Yuan army at the moment and be loyal to the Great Yuan Emperor.

The Mongolian officer who took the lead was very happy and ordered someone to take a few of them to change their uniforms and receive weapons, but this time, it happened that Zhao Heyong and his party could not have dreamed of it.
