Volume 1 There Are Returnees Chapter 2 The Trip to Baoji
Qin Zi'an, who returned to the room, took off a necklace from his neck, which was actually not a necklace, but a beast tooth strung on a rope.
Looking at the beast tooth in his hand, somehow, Qin Zi'an suddenly wanted to borrow Xiao Ding today, and the ghost made a god to take out Xiao Ding and compare it with the beast tooth.
After comparing the two, he really found several identical words, and most importantly, three of these words he knew! It was one of the few words that the dean had told him that could be recognized, and these three words were - Shennong's!
The beast tooth turned out to be related to Xiao Ding! Qin Zi'an's heart was a little confused.
Gently putting down Xiao Ding, he casually put the beast tooth around his neck.
Distraught, he took out his mobile phone and lay down at the head of the bed.
Ever since the dean said that Shennongjia may be related to his life experience, Qin Zi'an has been paying attention to news reports about Shennongjia.
However, he searched through all the news materials of the last few decades, but still found nothing. Then, he paid attention to the official news, and whenever there was news about Shennongjia, it would pop up as soon as possible.
When I opened the news, what caught my eye was still the eye-catching headline that had not changed for thousands of years - Shennongjia was shocked by something, but unlike usual, this report did not have too many text introductions, but presented a large number of murals.
After observing the group of photos, Qin Zi'an had the feeling of watching a movie, and these murals were like myths.
The corpses of more than a dozen dragons in Western mythology are displayed in front of the endlessly high embankment, and there are many strange shapes: "winged, snake-headed, dragon-headed, human-headed, human-......"
Suddenly, his pupils constricted, and he quickly sat up, staring at one of the photos, expanding his hands outward to enlarge the photo.
I saw that there were ten tripods on a photo, nine of which were of the same size, and the tripod was carved with mountains, rivers, insects, fish, birds and beasts, which were exquisite, but what surprised him was not these, but a small tripod that suddenly appeared.
In the middle of Jiuding, there is a small tripod standing impressively!
Qin Zi'an had a hunch, "This is definitely related to Xiao Ding!" Or maybe this is Xiaoding. ”
He suddenly had the urge to run to Shennongjia immediately, but he knew that such a beautiful mural would definitely be blocked by the state at the first time, and he would definitely not be able to see it when he passed.
Qin Zi'an, who had calmed down, got up and took a sip of water, and looked carefully again, and a text under the mural caught his attention, which read:
The text behind "With the water of the river as the guide, the blood of the dragon as the contract, and the spring ......" is not visible due to the shooting angle.
He sat down in his chair and pondered for a while, habitually wanting to take out a notebook and write down these things.
Qin Zi'an has the habit of writing essays, and this book records all the great compilations he knows and some past trivial matters.
When he picked up the notebook, he accidentally knocked over the heavy book next to him, and he bent down to pick it up, and a piece of animal skin fell out like this.
Looking at this animal skin, Qin Zi'an's gaze was in a trance for a moment.
It was a spring more than ten years ago, the cold of early spring had left, everything was recovering, and the peach trees couldn't help but smile and bloom.
However, the sudden cold air caused heavy snow to fall, and the overwhelmed branches "squeaked" and cried, and finally they were crushed and broke their waists, and swayed listlessly in the wind, and the peach trees stopped laughing, and yawned sluggishly, and the buds fell in a yawn.
At that time, he had just finished tutoring his two little children, and on the way back to the house, he saw the hide, and for some reason the thick layer of snow did not cover it.
Qin Zi'an didn't know what to think at the time, so he picked it up in a daze.
After returning to the house, he turned over the animal skin and looked at it several times, and found that there were only ghost-drawn things on it, and he didn't recognize it after looking at it for a long time, so he casually sandwiched it in the book.
Picking up the animal skin, he suddenly found that the thing on the animal skin that he originally thought was like a ghost painting talisman turned out to be Dasu again, and the signature on the top turned out to be - Li Taibai!
Qin Zi'an muttered in his heart, he has always loved Taibai's poems, but Taibai's life in the Tang Dynasty is known to primary school students, how can he use animal skins and big seals to remember.
Full of doubts, he looked down, and the beginning of the animal skin wrote: "In the ninth year of Jizi, the evil demons invaded, the people wept, mourned for nine days, the saints appeared, and the foolish ......"
He tried to keep his eyes open, but he couldn't see what was written behind him.
It's just these few words, but it also makes his eyes bloodshot, swollen and painful, and unconsciously leaves tears. He suddenly remembered the mural just now, rubbed his swollen eyes, and took out his mobile phone to look at it more closely.
"The words under the mural are added from the back." After a while, Qin Zi'an put down his phone and muttered.
Although there are not many words on the mural, there are dozens of scattered texts, and these characters are still carved in large compilation, while the text under the mural is carved in official script.
Qin Zi'an rubbed his swollen head and picked up his phone again.
"One sword to break the army, two or three o'clock, four fields, five elements and six surrounding......" The sudden ringtone of the mobile phone interrupted his thinking.
Before he could open his mouth, Director Zhao's rough voice had already come out:
"Xiao An, you took Xiao Zhao to Baoji on a business trip this weekend, hurry up and pack up, Xiao Chen has already driven over, you go directly to the station after Xiao Chen comes." Before the voice fell, Director Zhao had already hung up the phone.
"This old Zhao."
Qin Zi'an shook his head, put down the notebook, and put away the animal skin closely.
Only then did I pack a change of clothes, and a horn sounded outside the door.
"Brother Qin, Brother Qin, I'm here." Qin Zi'an opened the car door and saw Zhao Bailong's big fat man waving to him not far away.
"You dead fat man, why was you caught by Lao Zhao to work." He walked over and asked.
The fat man pursed his lips disdainfully: "It's not his brother-in-law yet." ”
"That guy, get in the car first." Qin Zi'an smiled bitterly and patted the fat man on the shoulder.
The fat man took out the ticket and faced him, only to find that they were not in the same compartment, but fortunately they were on the same train.
"I don't know which guy bought the ticket" Qin Zi'an shook his head and carried a small bag into the train.
"Hello sir, please give way, this should be my seat." Qin Zi'an shook the ticket in his hand and said to the man in his seat.
"Give you two hundred dollars, and you go and sit in the back." The man didn't look at him, but casually pointed to an empty seat not far away.
"I'm sorry I won't change it." Qin Zi'an said lightly that if the man was polite, he wouldn't mind changing seats, but looking at the man's unreasonable appearance, he said nothing and wouldn't change it.
"Give you five hundred, don't be embarrassed." The man casually took out several red tickets, turned around and waved his hand impatiently.
The passengers next to him pointed at them, and one of the aunts couldn't help but persuade Qin Zi'an:
"Young man, don't make five hundred dollars for nothing, don't want it in vain, why don't you just change your seat."
"Yes, five hundred yuan for a seat, such a good thing, I would have agreed to it a long time ago."
"Young man, if you give me five hundred, no, three hundred, I'll exchange it with you."
Qin Zi'an was a little irritable because of today's events, and didn't want to say more, so he picked up the man and put it in the aisle.
Everyone immediately stopped chattering and discussing, staring at them inexplicably, looking at the strange eyes of the people around him, the man's face instantly turned the color of pig liver, and in a blink of an eye, his face became gloomy again, and he said to Qin Zi'an:
"Boy, you'll wait and see." Then the train hurried down without taking it.
"Thank you for helping me get rid of that fly."
Just as Qin Zi'an was pondering what had happened today, a pleasant voice came from the side, and he looked up to see a woman in a peaked cap smiling at her.
"It's none of my business." He replied casually, and then ignored the woman.
Although Qin Zi'an was not very enthusiastic about her, Li Min was very interested in him, although the man was hollowed out by wine just now, but at least more than 100 catties, he could have such strength with one hand, no matter how he said it, he couldn't be an ordinary person!
"Handsome guy, where are you going?"
"Baoji"
"You also go to Baoji, what a coincidence, my home is in Baoji, in order to repay you for daring to go that fly, Miss Ben decided to invite you to dinner in Baoji."
"That guy has been pestering me for months, and if my dad hadn't asked me to be polite, I wouldn't have known his father and mother who had beaten him a long time ago."
Listening to the girl's constant nagging, Qin Zi'an had a headache, this woman felt a few years older than him, why did she feel so annoying, like a child. The only thing he could be comfortable with was that the train was finally arriving.
——
"Brother Qin, let me tell you, come to Baoji, this antique street is not to be missed, there are a lot of good things, the last time I came, I saw someone buy a stone worth more than 50,000 yuan for 500 yuan. It is said that there are gambling stones or something, and they are often tens of millions. ”
Speaking of this, Zhao Bailong smacked his tongue and said enviously: "When do you say I can earn a million." ”
"You can choose to inherit the family property." Qin Zi'an patted him on the shoulder.
"Cut" the fat man made a classic move towards the sky.
Looking around, a dazzling array of objects are placed on both sides of the road, and although the houses on this street have been renovated and altered, they basically retain the traces of their originals, and they do not look old and exude a sense of vicissitudes.
Qin Zi'an likes to shop for things in the stalls, because the prices are generally lower than those in the store, but the good things are no less than those in the store.
Antique shops are generally not open for three years, and they are open for three years, so it has led to the embarrassing situation that many stores have not opened for several years and then have no chance to open.
Stalls are not as expensive as shops, so gradually, there are more and more people setting up stalls outside.
After picking for a long time and not seeing anything good, Qin Zi'an shook his head and planned to call the fat man back together, but before he could find the fat man, the fat man had already run over out of breath, and said to Qin Zi'an with an excited face:
"Brother Qin, why are you two blessed with eyes, I heard that a big man is coming here to gamble on stones today."
"Gambling stones? It's worth a look. ”
Qin Zi'an touched his chin, although he didn't know much about gambling stones, he was very interested.
Every year, those who go bankrupt and jump off the building because of gambling stones can't be counted on one hand, and of course, there are many who get rich overnight. It's just a gambling stone, except for a few craftsmen, generally can only rely on luck, but how much is luck worth?
"Have you heard, but this time the original master is coming."
"It turned out to be the original master, why did I say that so many people came."
"You say, I don't know where the guy who doesn't have long eyes dares to gamble with the original master, it's really an old birthday star hanged - a long idle life."
"Yes, after so many years, the original master is this in our Baoji." The man gave a thumbs up.
The crowd here was still talking, and a voice was already coming from across the street: "Get out of the way, get out of the way, Master Yuan is here." ”
With the sound of the voice, an old man with a goatee walked slowly, and next to the old man were some guys in suits and leather shoes, who looked like successful people.
Qin Zi'an suddenly felt that someone seemed a little familiar, and when he got closer, he found that it was the noisy young man on the train.
"Welcome Master Yuan, welcome CEOs, please among you."
Before we arrived at the gambling stone field, the casino owner had already come to greet me from afar.
"Master Yuan, please first."
"Yes, yes, Master Yuan, please first."
A successful person is enthusiastic about this so-called original master.
"Is that junior here, I don't have much time to waste." I saw the original master ask the casino owner with an arrogant face.
"Not yet, why don't you go inside and rest first, that kid is scared by your old name and doesn't dare to come."
"Boss Li is right, with your name in our Baoji, which one who doesn't have long eyes dares to shout and grandstand."
Several bosses were talking, and a voice suddenly interjected: "Father, the child suddenly remembered something and wanted to go out for a while." ”
"Well, let's go" Yuan Aiguo nodded.
"Yo, this is the original young master, the tiger father has no dogs, what a talent."
Thousands of clothes, sycophants don't wear, hearing others praise his son, Yuan Aiguo was also full of smiles, arched his hand to the casino owner and said: "Where, people say that your boss Li has given birth to a good son." ”
"Whether you bet or not, I don't have time to listen to you beep here." An insolent voice interrupted their conversation at an inopportune time.
"It turned out to be your rude little hairy child, so let's start quickly and don't waste time."
Looking at the young kid in front of him, Yuan Aiguo walked into the gambling stone area with his hands behind his back, if it weren't for the things that the kid in front of him couldn't help but be tempted by, he wouldn't have time to play with the kid.
Qin Zi'an and the fat man followed the crowd and walked inside, but he didn't see someone behind him staring at him with resentful eyes.
When he turned around, he saw Qin Zi'an, and the nameless fire in the original baby's heart suddenly rose.
The old man is old, and he is very fond of him, and he is afraid of falling in the palm of his hand, and he is afraid of melting in his mouth. He had never suffered such a great shame since he was a child, and he was thrown in front of the woman he liked by twisting his neck.
After getting off the train that day, he immediately took the high-speed train back to Baoji and found someone, intending to block the kid when Miss Li got off the train. Who knew that this kid actually ran away in advance.
"I didn't expect it, boy, you're finally going to be caught by me." Yuan Baobao was secretly excited in his heart and took out the phone.
Walking into the gambling stone field, Qin Zi'an's first feeling was that it was big, he had heard others talk about it before, and he had occasionally seen it in the news, but it didn't have such a big impact as the actual impact.
Next to him, the fat man looked at the price with a dull face, pointed to a fist-sized stone to Qin Zi'an, and said with a sad face: "Brother Qin, look, a stone of this size costs more than 100,000 yuan, grab the money." ”
A young man in a suit and leather shoes looked at him with disdain: "Tubaozi is Tubaozi, I don't understand anything, and I still learn from others to look at gambling stones." ”
The fat man opened his mouth and didn't speak, Qin Zi'an was just about to speak, when he heard the mobile phone ringing, and after answering the phone, he said to the fat man with a wry smile:
"It seems that we are out of sight today, and I called Yu Company and said that there are special circumstances, so the time is in advance, and the contract will be discussed two hours later."
After saying that, Li Duli ignored the young man and walked straight out.
Outside the casino, a yellow hairman picked up the phone: "Yuan Shao, that kid left suddenly." ”
"Follow him, don't let him run"
"Don't worry, Hara"
