On this day, Uncle Chen and I talked until the second half of the night.

I didn't expect a typical old man from the countryside to know so much, but everything I wanted to know was answered for me.

It's just that when I asked Uncle Chen what happened to my father and Uncle Yan.

Uncle Chen shook his head helplessly.

"Oh, kid, it's not that Uncle Chen won't tell you, it's just that Uncle Chen really doesn't know the details, when this incident happened, I have been helping your Uncle Yan deal with the handicap over there in Hainan."

"When I return, your father will be in the ground......

"Actually, Liu Mei chose to hand over these things to you at this time, although on the surface it seems to be forcing the palace and uniting the people below to empty your Uncle Yan's rights."

"But in fact, why not take this opportunity to remove you from this circle?"

Chen Bo said, took out his old cigarette gun from the house, and talked while smoking.

"Child, although your Uncle Chen has never been to the grave and has always walked on the ground, his eyes are much brighter than most people!"

"Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, how rampant was tomb robbery in the country?"

"All kinds of warlords, bandits, and even ordinary people are involved in it, there is a saying that all people are soldiers, this sentence can also be said here, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the living environment at that time was that all people were thieves."

"After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the tomb robbery culture in the whole country also tended to flatten, and with the policy of the great man, all the tomb robbers were all turned underground, and the ten major tomb robbery gang systems were formed."

"But this practice undoubtedly does more harm than good, and over time it becomes a kind of underground society, not far behind those underworlds!"

"No, as soon as the millennium arrived, the red-headed documents came down, and the control of tomb robberies will only become stricter and stricter in the future, especially organized and disciplined tomb robbing gangs are the key targets of national investigation and punishment."

"There are no stupid people in our old Chen family, think about it carefully, is it such a truth?"

At night, I lay on the bed tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, and my mind kept thinking about Uncle Chen's words repeatedly.

What Uncle Chen means is that the reason why Liu Mei gave me this thing is to take me out, and second, to let me make my own choice.

But grandpa, my father's affairs make me feel at ease.

Finally I couldn't do it, so I got up and went to the yard.

I was holding an ancient coin in my hand, this ancient coin was Qianlong Tongbao, and it was also given to me by Uncle Yan when he followed him.

The moonlight above his head was shining on the ground, and layers of reflected light appeared like hoarfrost.

I held the copper coin in my hand and threw it into the sky.

I watched the Qianlong Tongbao flip continuously in the air, and finally fell in front of my heels.

Seeing the result, I shook my head with a wry smile, bent down to pick up the copper coin, and turned around to go back to the house.

And Uncle Chen was dressed up, leaning against the door frame of the living room, holding an old cigarette gun in his hand and looking at me kindly.

When he saw me pick up the copper coin, he smiled and said, "How about it, make a choice?" ”

I glanced down at the copper coin in my hand and said, "Yes, although it is not quite what I thought, I feel quite right about what you said." ”

"Oh?"

Uncle Chen squinted his eyes and knocked on the door frame with the old cigarette gun.

"That sentence? Tell me about it? ”

I walked up to Uncle Chen and said, "Uncle Chen, you're not too young, so let's smoke less." ”

Chen Bole smiled, put away the hand that was about to stuff tobacco into it, and said, "Okay, then I won't smoke." ”

I replied with a hum and said, "Uncle Chen, you told me when you were eating that there are some things that manpower may not be able to overcome, and the affairs of the older generation are not handled by the juniors in many cases. ”

"I always thought I had to find out the cause of my grandfather and father's death anyway, but I should probably figure it out now."

"Since the business of robbing tombs must be prepared accordingly, these are their fate."

"As for what Grandpa and Uncle Yan said about the curse on my body, I think there is an answer now."

I spread my hands and said, "When I went to the ground before, Uncle Yan told me to take me down to the ground just to see if there would be any abnormalities on me. ”

"Although the master of Wutai Mountain said that I may not live to be twenty-four years old, and the curse will be fulfilled, but now it is actually proved that I have gone to the ground, and there is nothing ominous happening to me."

"And at this time, Aunt Mei also took me out of the original circle, so I think if I continue to persist, I may not be hurting myself."

"I'm the only one in our Chen family, if I'm gone, maybe there will be no one in the future."

"So I decided that there are some things that I don't want to get to the bottom of, as for the Warring States bronze ancient mirror, I will give it to the museum when I turn around, of course, after the crackdown is over."

After hearing this, Uncle Chen had a pleased smile on his face.

"Good, good! Child, it's best that you can think like this, and it's rare that you can understand your Uncle Yan's mood for so many years......! ”

"It's not early, let's rest early......!"

After speaking, Uncle Chen went back to his room.

And I went back to my room and lay down.

Maybe it's because I did put something down in my heart, so I slept a lot like this time.

I also had a dream of being a member of the group with my father and mother.

In my dream, my mother told me to live a good life and never follow my mother's old path again.

When I woke up, tears were still hanging from the corners of my eyes.

I wiped the tears from the corners of my eyes and got up, washed my face and brushed my teeth, and went to the grave of my parents with Uncle Chen after dinner.

Time passed day after day in this ordinary life.

When he had farm work, he went to the field to help Uncle Chen, and in his spare time, he took out the antique books that Uncle Yan treasured to watch.

After all, I am not obsessed with going to the land, and I am not obsessed with investigating my parents' affairs, but I still need to live, and I can't always follow Uncle Chen to farm.

So my plan is to read all the books that Uncle Yan left behind, and then go to Beijing or Tianjin to find a job in an antique shop.

Although the bank card that Uncle Yan left me had six digits in it, it was enough for me to open a small shop by myself.

But in the antique market, this thing needs to pay attention to qualifications.

Otherwise, no one would have believed that a young man could appreciate treasures.

As for the book and notes left by my father, I also read them during this time.

In particular, the analysis of the dragon veins and ancient tombs in the book "The Secret Art of Yin and Yang in the Sand" has benefited me a lot.

Among them, the exposition of the five elements of yin and yang has a very unique opinion, which shows that the person who wrote this ancient book of secret art must be a person who knows astronomy and geography.

What are the four meridians and three trials of the veins and the triad, the triad Xuankong is really wonderful, and the four beings and the triad are heavenly opportunities, and the full secret technique of the two mountains and five elements contains all the mountains and rivers in the five elements of yin and yang.

Of course, there are many details and so on, many of which I can't understand at once, but I feel that many of the secret techniques in this book are studied for ancient tombs and feng shui.

And with this book, why worry about not finding the ancient tomb you are looking for?

It's no wonder that my father went down dozens of tombs for more than ten years for the sake of a truth, and dug a lot of sand, which made Uncle Yan, a little tomb robber, transform into a leader who entrenched in one side.

It can be seen that the tomb robbery line, although dangerous, but the money is also quite fast.

It is in response to that sentence, the gold of troubled times, the antiques of prosperous times!

I thought that the days would pass like this, but what should come will always come.

Even if I have managed to put things down, the moment fate befalls you, you will have to face the choice again.

Just two days after the second day of the second lunar month, when I took a shower at night, Uncle Chen told me that there were some dark red marks on my back.

At first, I thought it was because I wasn't used to sleeping in my hometown, or because I was bitten by some small bug, or because my skin was allergic to something.

Then I got some Chinese herbs, applied some and didn't care about it anymore!

But later, the dark red spots on my body became more and more.

In the end, the color is slightly purple, although it is not obvious, but the whole back is densely packed and looks scary.

It's like being beaten up by someone!

Seeing this, Uncle Chen asked me to go directly to the city early tomorrow morning for a check-up, but I felt that it was a bit of a fuss, after all, it was neither painful nor itchy.

But Uncle Chen's face was very ugly, and he sat in the hall and smoked dry cigarettes.

After a while, he said slowly: "Xiao Xu, you must listen to me, hurry up and take a look, otherwise, otherwise it will ......"

"Otherwise, Uncle Chen, you can just say it directly if you have something ......!"

I don't know why Uncle Chen is suddenly so serious, and I can't help but get nervous in my heart.

Originally, I thought I was mentally prepared, but when Uncle Chen said that, I was still so frightened that I sat on the ground for a long time and didn't react.

Chen Bo said: "Xiao Xu, I suspect that what you have is not a skin disease, but a ......!" ”

"Rather...... It's ......"

Uncle Chen stammered, and finally spit out two words!

"Corpse............ Spot............!! ”
