Volume 2 The Eye of the Deep Chapter 3 The Trail of Yellow Mountain
After leaving Ocean University, by the time I got back to the hotel, it was already completely dark.
Today's harvest was completely unexpected. I didn't expect that I might have found the traces of Huangshan back then, but at the moment this is just my intuitive speculation, I need to comb through the existing evidence in my hand to verify whether my guess is correct.
I imported all the drawings I took today into my computer. I looked at the pictures one by one, searching for any clues.
I felt like I was doing a game of wiring, finding the dots to connect and deduce new conclusions. Among these pictures are: a misty valley, a strange scene of slashing the sky, and a picture of a big fish in the sea. I connected these three points together, and there was no doubt that I pointed to the ancient tomb of Qilian Mountain.
Fang Shaoqi said that Teacher Yue only came here to teach more than ten years ago. I also asked him where this teacher Yue was before he came to Weihai. He said that he had asked before, but now he doesn't remember it clearly, it seems to be Hebei.
So in this way, there are a few more points: earlier in Hebei; And it's geology; Back then, I liked to grow a beard; Judging from the photos more than ten years ago, his face at that time still had obvious plateau red, which shows that he was active in high-altitude areas for a long time more than ten to twenty years ago. I connected these points together, plus the direction of the Qilian Mountains just now, and came to a conclusion again, this Mr. Yue was engaged in geological work in Hebei 20 years ago, and he has been active in the Qilian Mountains for a long time, and he has a beard.
I clearly remember that Uncle Kong told me when he was in Linxia that the identity of the scientific expedition team member they rescued in Qilian Mountain more than 20 years ago was that he was a geological exploration researcher at a scientific research institute in Hebei Province, and he also had a beard on his face.
This Teacher Yue's conditions are completely consistent, and the possibility of a coincidence in this case is simply smaller than the chance of winning the lottery. I can now almost say with certainty that this so-called Teacher Yue is the Huangshan back then.
I was shocked by this discovery. I couldn't help but get up and stand in front of the window. The sea at night is exceptionally quiet and deep, the inky sea is vast, and when gazing at the intersection of sea and sky, the whole sea seems particularly mysterious.
I can't help but think about it, there is such a secret hidden in this sea area, so that Huangshan, Wenmo, and even my second uncle have come here.
Thinking of my second uncle, I called him again, but it turned off the phone. But now I'm not very worried, because I'm already convinced that the disappearance of my second uncle was not an accident, but came to Weihai with a special purpose. Since the last time my second uncle brought me back from Qilian Mountain, I felt that my second uncle might not be as simple as it seemed. This incident made me think this way even more certainly.
Since the last trip to Qilian Mountain, I feel as if a floodgate has been opened in my heart, although I still have lingering palpitations about the last experience, but there is a kind of longing and yearning for unknown adventures, which is slowly growing.
Recalling this past scene, I feel that I have unintentionally, or even destinedly, fallen into a large net, in which I am intricately entangled, unable to extricate myself, and the only way out may be to find the ultimate truth.
At this moment, my heart was in turmoil, and I inadvertently reached out and touched the seal on my chest, and a cold and moist feeling came from the palm of my hand. This coolness calmed my heart a lot, and I smiled unconsciously, maybe I was thinking too much. So tired, I fell headlong on the bed and soon fell into a deep sleep.
The next day, I was woken up by a phone ringing, and I picked up the phone and saw that it was Fang Shaoqi. I picked up the phone sleepily.
Fang Shaoqi's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Hey, Brother Zhuo? You haven't gotten up yet? I thought I would be good enough to stay in bed, but I didn't expect you to be better than me. ”
I sat up, "Come on, you, what kind of skill is this, I'm different from you, the eldest young master, I was tired from staying up late last night." What time is it? ”
Fang Shaoqi said: "It's almost 10 o'clock, big brother!" ”
I'll go! It's really not early. "Are you looking for me?" I got out of bed and went into the bathroom.
"Brother Zhuo, I want to ask, have you checked the results?"
I was a little helpless, "You treat me as Sherlock Holmes, how can you be so fast." ”
"It's okay, it's okay," Fang Shaoqi on the other side of the phone was a little embarrassed, "Brother Zhuo, I'm not urging you, I just think I'm quite close to you, and I can talk to you." I'm going to invite you to dinner today, and it's the friendship of the landlord. Anyway, it's almost time to eat. ”
I thought about it and didn't refuse, although I haven't thought about what to do next, but it is always more convenient to have such a friend who is familiar with the local environment.
Fang Shaoqi asked, "Brother Zhuo, where do you live, I'll drive to pick you up in a while." ”
I told Fang Shaoqi the name of the hotel, then walked to the sink, picked up a handful of cold water, and splashed it on my face......
After a while, Fang Shaoqi called me and told me that he had arrived in the hall.
As soon as this kid saw me, he immediately greeted me, "Brother Zhuo, you have a good place!" This is one of the few luxury hotels in Weihai, and my father only comes here when he has big customers. ”
I smiled, "When a man is away from home, sometimes he should be kind to himself." ”
Fang Shaoqi smiled, nodded again and again, put on a big sunglasses, and led me into his car.
In the car, I asked Fang Shaoqi, "Did Mr. Yue leave any diaries or anything like that?" ”
Fang Shaoqi thought for a while and said, "No, at least I haven't seen it, anyway, it's not in his school's office." ”
In fact, I have always had a question in my heart, if Huangshan is inspired by the picture of the sea view and big fish in the ancient tomb, then Weihai is not the only coastal city in the entire Shandong Peninsula, why did he choose to come to Weihai and choose to stay in Ocean University? There must be some reason for this that we don't know yet.
I casually asked Fang Shaoqi, "How is Mr. Yue's reputation in your school?" ”
Speaking of this, Fang Shaoqi was a little proud, "Teacher Yue is particularly famous in our school, and not only in our school, but also in the province and even the whole country. He has published many very influential papers. Originally, the Department of Geology was a very inconspicuous weak major in our school, but since Mr. Yue came, the Department of Geology of Ocean University has suddenly become the most powerful major. My dad once jokingly said that in the future, he would simply change the name of Ocean University to the University of Geosciences. ”
I was a little surprised to hear it, "I didn't expect this yellow... Ah, no, Teacher Yue is so powerful! ”
"That's it!" Fang Shaoqi didn't care about my slip of the tongue and continued to chatter, "Some people say that Mr. Yue is one of the most influential teachers in the 60 years since the establishment of Ocean University. ”
"Sixty years!" This year surprised me a little, "I didn't expect your school to have such a long history. ”
Fang Shaoqi said with some pride: "Our school has a lot of literature, materials, and specimens, which are unique in the country. ”
Hearing Fang Shaoqi's words, my heart suddenly moved, could it be that this is the reason? There are some materials in Ocean University that Huangshan is interested in? So he's going to stay here and do research?
It seems that I know this Fang Shaoqi is really too wise, and I know too many useful things at once. I continued to ask him tentatively, "What precious materials do you have in your school?" ”
"That's a lot, there are ....." Fang Shaoqi thought for a long time, his old face turned red, "Brother Zhuo, do you think I look like a good student?" I don't remember these things. ”
I looked at him, "You're not bragging, are you?" ”
Hearing me say this, Fang Shaoqi was a little anxious, "Brother Zhuo, what I said is true, and let me tell you, our school not only has precious materials or something, but there is also a particularly strange thing in our school, which Teacher Yue and I accidentally discovered." No one knew what it was, but Mr. Yue told me that this thing was definitely not ordinary. ”
As soon as I heard him say that this thing was related to Huangshan, I immediately became sensitive and urged him to hurry up and talk about it carefully.
At this time, Fang Shaoqi stopped the car, "Brother Zhuo, don't worry, let's talk while eating, I'm dying of hunger!" ”
"Okay, okay!" I had no choice but to hold back the curiosity in my heart and follow Fang Shaoqi out of the car.
The two of us came to a restaurant with a nice decoration, it was a meal, and there were a lot of people in the store. As soon as we came in, the waiter who greeted us at the door came over, "I'm sorry, two gentlemen, there are no seats left, please ...... later."
Without waiting for the waiter to finish speaking, Fang Shaoqi took off his sunglasses, "Damn!" There is no place for others to come, and there is no place for Lao Tzu to come? You don't know me! ”
Only then did the waiter see Fang Shaoqi clearly, and hurriedly smiled: "It turned out to be Brother Qi, I didn't even see it." At this time, a foreman next to him hurriedly walked over, "Fang Shao, forgive me, this kid is busy and dizzy." Come, two of you, please. ”
It seems that Fang Shaoqi is still quite eating here. The foreman specially helped us find a quieter private room, and Fang Shaoqi didn't have to look at the menu, and ordered a few dishes very skillfully.
After the foreman left, I remembered Fang Shaoqi's old Jianghu just now, and suddenly felt very interesting. But I thought about it, in fact, I myself am not a few years older than Shao Qi, and my original self is probably like this, but since I came back from Qilian Mountain, I feel that I have changed, as for what has changed, I can't tell, maybe it's that sentence, experience makes people grow.
Soon a few dishes were put on the table, and Fang Shaoqi introduced me to me: "Brother Zhuo, when you come to our Weihai, you can't help but eat seafood, this is Wendeng clams, which was once known as the king of seafood." This is a pot of oysters, washed oyster meat, wrapped in egg batter, fried in a pot until golden brown, tender and delicious. This is fried red snails in oil, crispy and refreshing, and the famous Lu dish. And this abalone..."
Looking at these tempting dishes, I was already drooling, so I motioned to Fang Shaoqi to stop talking nonsense, hurry up and eat, didn't you just shout hungry!
