The tension and tossing for days combined with the effects of alcohol made me and the scholar sleep until noon the next day. After getting up, I finally regained my spirits, and my stomach began to rumble again.

"Hey, I said Mr. Xia, this person is iron rice and steel, I am hungry and panicked if I don't eat a meal, besides, I have lost weight in the past two days, and if I see international friends in the capital, our body will not reflect the superiority of socialism. What's the matter, where are we going at noon? I'm going to have to eat you well today. "Scholar, this kid belongs to the typical type of scar that forgets the pain, and it is as if nothing is wrong after a good night's sleep.

I said: "Comrade scholar, just because you don't eat for three days, you can become a living specimen that embodies the superiority of socialism in front of international friends, so don't put gold on your face." Since you have fled from your homeland, I can't refuse humanitarian aid to you, so let's go, let's go straight to Wangfujing Street, eat and shop, and let you, the little people, see the prosperity of the capital. ”

In fact, both of us belong to the kind of optimist, and if we have this meal, the scholar will never want to eat the next meal, but I have this meal, and at most I will think about where to eat tomorrow. Since things are confusing and we don't know where to start, we just wait and see how things develop. I was about to take the scholar to eat for a while, when trouble came.

On this bustling commercial first street, the two of us rushed left and right, straight to Wangfujing Snack Street, just arrived at the archway, the scholar's mobile phone rang. We are now like frightened birds, just now we were talking and laughing and pointing out life, when the phone rang, it immediately became a frosted eggplant, wilted. You don't have to guess, it must be the mysterious man. Because of the scholar's number, even his old lady and old man don't know, only me and the scholar know in the world, and in addition, there is that mysterious person. At the moment when the scholar's mobile phone was taken out, my eyes were as far as I could see, as if there was a boy behind me. However, my Xia Nan was born with a keen sixth sense, and I always felt that there was something wrong with this kid. I turned to look at the young man, seventeen or eighteen years old, with very long hair, as if he hadn't combed it for a long time, and it was about to enter June, and he was still wearing a plaid jacket that seemed to be very thick, and a pair of old-fashioned black cloth shoes under a pair of slightly whitish jeans. I have the impression that these cloth shoes are the same style that people born in the eighties wore when they were children, they are ordinary cloth shoes, but there is a strap on them, which can be tied from one side of the shoe around the top of the foot to the other side of the button. This kind of nondescript dress makes people very impressed after seeing it. When I was looking at the child, the scholar pulled me and ran, and I was almost pulled down by this man, and I couldn't help but be a little annoyed, and shouted as I ran with him: "You are possessed by a ghost?" Why do you say run? This is the capital, not a ravine, no wolves! Oh, you slow down, I'm an IT engineer, not you tabloid reporters, I can't really run......"

Before I could finish speaking, the man panted and said, "Shut up, if you don't want to be possessed by a demon, you can run with me, there are beautiful chicks waiting for you in front of you." "I thought to myself: Fuck your sister, if there is really a beautiful chick waiting in front of you, can you still be kind enough to pull me away? If you don't stumble on me, you're worthy of your brother. We were running as fast as we could, causing passers-by to stare at us and point. There were many people talking, and the wind was flickering in their ears, and they didn't hear it clearly, but I heard a young man with a very rough voice, standing in front of a tea shop and shouting, "It can't be two thieves, right?" "When I heard this, I was not happy, this is not enough, how can we be classified on the side of the class enemy, we are at most contradictions among the people. It is estimated that the scholar also heard it, this kid deserves to be a reporter, don't look at the great potential for horizontal development of the body, and his legs and feet are also neat, he turned around and shouted while running: "Boy, you are a thief, you thief, you thief, your whole family is a thief!" As soon as he finished shouting the slogan, he turned his head and shouted at the two beautiful girls in front of him, "Hey, girl, haven't you seen anyone exercising?" ”

After this kid shouted these two sentences, I saw that the passers-by in front of me all leaned on both sides again, and I thought to myself: yes, this time people don't treat us as thieves, and probably they will both run out of the mental hospital.

It's been almost two miles since I ran out, and this board stopped, and I was already numb from being dragged by him, except for panting, my brain was already blank. The scholar was tired enough to look at it, and he sat on the side of the road and began to scold the street, first scolding people and then scolding ghosts, anyway, I didn't have any sense, and I didn't listen to him when he kept scolding. After almost 10 minutes of rest, I only got a little better. Only then did I understand that the phone that the scholar answered was really the mysterious person, I don't know what method he used, and the number he used every time was our own mobile phone number. This time, the mysterious man told the scholar to leave the street quickly, and there were ghosts around.

I said, "Somebody's not going to be playing with us, is it?" This fucking blue sky and daylight, don't say there are no ghosts, even if there are real ghosts, it doesn't dare to come to this popular street during the day. ”

The scholar said, "It is better to believe what you have than not to believe in it, as the old saying goes: 'A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall'." ”

Come to think of it, that's the same thing. But before he met the enemy, and he didn't even have a clue, he was scared and ran away several times. That's not a problem. However, the enemy that you see is often easy to deal with, and the enemy you can't see is the most difficult, as the saying goes, "open guns are easy to dodge, but hidden arrows are difficult to defend." When our breathing had stabilized a bit, we stood up and looked around. There are still passers-by around, and I haven't seen anything unusual. I'm afraid this meal is not easy to eat, and now it's better to go back to the hotel first.

The scholar and I went back to the downstairs of the hotel, and the scholar was not clamoring to buy something to eat and drink. I was hungry too, so I bought some cooked food in the neighborhood and went to a small supermarket to buy cigarettes and alcohol. The two of them walked back with a few bags of things. I opened the door and put my things on the bedside table, just about to discuss with the scholar what had happened today. Before I could say this, the scholar snorted, which frightened me and instinctively bounced off the bed. "What are you yelling about, have you been chased by wolves or have you made people step on their tails?!" This is usual, and the scholar has already ridiculed each other. Today he not only ignored me, but instead grew his mouth, waited for his eyes, and pointed to the side of the bed with one hand and kept making strokes. I followed his finger and saw nothing unusual. On the bed, there was a messy quilt that we didn't fold in the morning, and under the bed was a scholar's travel bag.

"I said, are you all soldiers? What's going on? Speak! ”

"Mr. Xia, there's one more thing in the bag."

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"When we went out in the morning, I remember clearly that the bag was pulled up. Now, the zipper of the travel bag is opened, and you don't see anything protruding out, you know what that is?!" The scholar trembled and continued, "That's a wooden box!" In the car accident in Zhengzhou, the ancient box lost in the antique store! ”

This time, I changed my mouth: "Scholar, are you sure that this wooden box is the one lost in the antique store?" ”

The scholar said: "At that time, after the wooden box was lost with a lot of calligraphy, paintings, and antiques, the shopkeeper called the police. Zhengzhou police offer a reward for providing clues. I made a point of looking at the pictures of the lost items, so I was very impressed with this wooden box. ”

I stepped forward to open my travel bag, and sure enough, a black cube wooden box with a length and width of about 30 cm appeared. This wooden box looks very old, and the six sides are carved with a lot of patterns by yang carving techniques, which are auspicious clouds. In the center of the auspicious cloud is a ring-like stripe wrapped around two animal figures, one like a tiger and the other like a swallow. This wooden box is not heavy.

The scholar took it, looked at it for a long time, and said, "This is not the tiger and swallow you said. If I'm not mistaken, the age of the production of this ancient box can be traced back to the pre-Qin period. Mr. Xia, do you know what is the totem of Qin Shi Huang who established the first unified country after unifying the six countries? "I thought about it, and basically returned all the history knowledge I learned when I was studying to the teacher, but I really don't know. The scholar looked at my blank expression, smiled slightly, pushed his black-rimmed eyes, and said in a scholarly manner: "Qin Totem is a green harrier." According to the "Historical Records of Qin Benji", it is recorded that Qin Zhixian, the descendant of the emperor Zhuan, is a female cultivator. The female cultivator weaves, the Xuanniao falls the egg, the female cultivator swallows it, and gives birth to a great cause. The popular translation is that the ancestors of the Qin people saw a bird flying in the sky. The bird laid an egg, and the old ancestor of Qin swallowed the egg and multiplied. Of course, this is just a story, but it reflects that the totem worship of the Qin Dynasty was a bird, that is, the blue harrier. And the tiger you are talking about is not a tiger, but a dragon. The image of the dragon in the Qin Dynasty was not as intuitive and distinct as that of the Qing Dynasty. At that time, dragons were generally four-legged, and they did look like tigers, but if you look closely, it has horns on its head. ”

I looked at it carefully, and sure enough, it was just as the scholar said. This kid is really a scholar, and he is indeed very knowledgeable. "Then, Comrade Scholar, such a precious antique suddenly appeared in your bag, and I am even more convinced that you are a wanted criminal. said, did you get rich, abandoned the party's education for many years, and took this treasure during the interview in a daze? Frankly and leniently, for the sake of our revolutionary comrades for many years, I will still help you say a few kind words to the organization. ”

As soon as the scholar heard me tease him like this, he suddenly became angry, and his voice was several degrees louder: "I'll grass your uncle!" Mr. Xia, don't bring such harm to others and yourself. If the Sprinkle family really took away this baby, they would have made a fortune a long time ago, why did they come to you? You're detrimental to my kung fu, so you might as well think about how this wooden box ended up in the bag. ”
