No.1 An old ticket
As soon as Wang Mingyuan woke up, he immediately struggled to sit up.
He found himself lying on a rudimentary bamboo bed covered with straw mats and felt strips, covered with a thin, musty quilt.
The quilt cover is sewn with a large needle bottom line, has been washed white, and has several patches, and the peony flower basket pattern on it should have been very showy.
The back of his head throbbed and hurt, Wang Mingyuan couldn't help but reach out and touch it, and found that his head was wrapped in gauze, wet, and when he reached out, there was a faint bloodstain and some green juice.
After thinking about it for a moment, the previous memories gradually surfaced with the labor pains in my head.
At the beginning of the year, he bid farewell to the boring screwing career of black and white rotation in the factory, twelve hours a day, and decided to take the savings of two years of part-time work, regain his bee science major, and return to the old house in the mountains to start a beekeeping business.
After returning to the old house in the mountains, when he went into the mountains to investigate the resources of flowers and bees, he accidentally broke into a wild boar's nest that had just given birth to cubs for a few days, and was chased.
Looking at the current situation, I should have been rescued.
The house he was in was made of clay and tamped with the help of molds.
Such houses are still very common in remote rural areas, but they have been too long, and most of them have been badly damaged, and many have even collapsed, except for a few elderly people.
To be honest, this kind of earthen house is actually very comfortable to live in, and the biggest feature is that it is warm in winter and cool in summer, but after all, it still can't keep up with the trend of the times and has long been eliminated.
At the moment, this earthen house is still in good condition, and it can even be said that it is a little new, and it should have been built for a few years.
Later, Wang Mingyuan saw the pictorial posted on the opposite wall.
"The countryside is a vast world, where great things can be done."
"Go to the mountains and go to the countryside with great ambitions, and draw new pictures in battle."
Up to the hills and into the countryside?
Wang Mingyuan immediately thought of the word educated youth, which has been engraved in history by countless people with their youth and sweat, and there are passionate songs echoing in his mind.
There is no way, the film and television drama that tells this history was very popular for a certain period of time, and he came into contact with a lot, moreover, his grandfather was also a young man, and he had a career as a young man for nearly ten years.
The arrangement of the items in the room is very consistent with that era.
Wang Mingyuan couldn't help but smile lightly: "It's a matter of fact...... So, where am I? ”
He turned his head to look at the wooden window on the earthen wall, which was pasted with newspapers, and found that it was already bright outside, so he turned over and put on his shoes through the pain on his body, and went to the wooden door to open the door to see what was going on outside.
However, as soon as he pulled it, he found that the door was fastened from the outside.
"Anyone? Is anyone there? ”
Wang Mingyuan shouted a few times, and soon heard the sound of the door opening next door, and then there was a small footstep approaching, but the footsteps stopped in front of the door for a while, but there was no movement.
Wang Mingyuan frowned, and his eyes came to the gap in the door panel to look out.
Outside, it was an eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl, wearing a bulging homespun cloth, a melon seed face was black, her facial features were exquisite, her cheeks had the rough red spots that highlanders had been exposed to ultraviolet rays for a long time, and her long black hair was braided into a big braid, which could hang down to her buttocks.
She was staring at the door with a wary expression.
"Girl, please help open the door." Wang Mingyuan pleaded.
When the girl heard this voice, she hesitated: "You wait, I'll call someone to open it." ”
She took a few steps back, then ran away with her big braids.
To open a door, you have to call someone......
Wang Mingyuan was a little speechless and retreated to the edge of the bed and sat down.
However, after waiting for a long time, there has been no movement outside.
He walked impatiently to the door, shook it vigorously, and then went to the window, snapped the newspaper pasted in the window, and looked out through the wooden window, and he was stunned.
What appeared in Wang Mingyuan's eyes was a large black hole at the bottom, a steep cliff as high as more than 20 zhang, and just below this cliff, there were seven or eight bamboo buildings, distributed on the hillside.
This cliff is too familiar, it seems to be the side of Zhangjiaao where the old mansion is located?
However, haven't those bamboo buildings already decayed and collapsed, and are covered by weeds and trees? Why is it still there?
From this, it can be inferred that the earthen house where he is located is the educated youth point of the year, but why is this house still so intact, obviously when he returned, the beams of this earthen house have been rotten and broken, the tile surface is covered with moss, and even the earthen wall has small trees.
Although this is an old mansion, in fact, Wang Mingyuan's family is not a local of Zhangjiaao, but from Mingcheng.
When my grandfather went to the countryside to be an educated youth, he came here.
In 79, my grandfather returned to the city, worked for many years, and after retiring, I didn't know that I had to come back to see it, so I didn't leave, and stubbornly spent half of my savings to buy this col.
Zhangjiaao is located in the deep mountains, very remote, 40 miles away from the town, you have to walk for several hours to get to the market, even to the outside of Chenjiagou Village, there are more than 10 miles.
Originally, several families surnamed Zhang lived here, and half of the families mainly made a living from hunting, even if they were merged into the Chenjiagou production team outside, they had to complete all kinds of agricultural work every day to earn labor, and they couldn't change the habit of hunting.
By the time Grandpa returned, most of the people here had been merged into the Chenjiagou outside, and some had moved to the town or county seat, and no one lived there, and the surrounding land was completely deserted and covered with all kinds of vegetation.
Grandpa lived in this mud house, beekeeping and farming in this mountain col, until he fell ill in his old age, he was taken back to the city for treatment, and before he passed away, he still talked about this place.
Wang Mingyuan could feel that this place had a very special affection for his grandfather.
When he was in elementary school, Wang Mingyuan didn't go here to accompany his grandfather during the winter and summer vacations and holidays, his parents were very busy with work and didn't have much time to accompany him, so he couldn't let him be accompanied by TV every day or run crazy in the city to make trouble.
Wang Mingyuan actually likes Zhangjiaao very much, when he arrives here, there are always all kinds of unexpected freshness, and it is also very interesting to listen to his grandfather talk about the old things in the past.
The reason why Wang Mingyuan fell in love with bees, and finally chose a major in the college entrance examination, and he applied for a bee science major by mistake, and it was also influenced by his grandfather, at that time, even squatting in front of the honeycomb to watch bees go in and out was an interesting thing.
More than 10 years ago, most of these bamboo buildings on the opposite side are still there, and there are still people living there, and other cliffs, waterfalls, streams, thinking about it carefully, have not changed much from what you see now.
didn't run, this is definitely Zhangjiaao!
But what's going on?
Wang Mingyuan suddenly thought of the blackened large aluminum lunch box that he had inadvertently turned over in the old mansion before entering the mountain.
In addition to a roll of coins tied with a headband, there was also an old train ticket in the lunch box.
Those coins, for people in 2023, are already proper antique-level existence, with the smallest face value of one cent, the largest is only ten yuan, and the total is only thirty-eight yuan, seven cents and six cents.
Wang Mingyuan had seen some shops and stalls selling old objects in Mingcheng, and there were people buying and selling, he didn't know the price, but he knew that these coins would definitely make him a small profit, so he immediately carefully packed them in the inner pocket of his coat.
It's just that he didn't expect that when he picked up the old ticket and looked through it, the ticket disappeared strangely.
At the time, I thought it was a hallucination, but I didn't pay much attention to it.
Now that I think about it, it seems that after being chased by a wild boar and rolling off a cliff, a virtual screen about the size of the ticket appeared in my mind.
Sensing that something was wrong, Wang Mingyuan, who was shocked, immediately closed his eyes, sensed slightly, and soon, he saw the virtual screen in his mind, with hundreds of black dots distributed on the left and three strings of numbers on the right:
1980.3.27→2023.3.17
233:18:42
