What is written in the second chapter of Tomb Raider Notes?

Fifty years later, at the west exit of Hefang Street in Hangzhou, an old man interrupted my thoughts. I closed my grandpa's notes and looked at each other.

"Do you accept rubbings here?" He asked me with a strange expression, as if I had any special purpose.

I don't care about temporary business. Most transactions in the antique market are conducted privately. On the surface, there was no money to earn, so I perfunctory him: "Yes, but the price is not high." It means, get out if you don't have anything good, and don't delay your study.

"Oh, then can you introduce me?" This guy asked, it looks like a supermarket.

I'm getting a little impatient. In our line of work, we will not open for three years and eat for three years. I'm used to leisure in my apartment, and I hate serving guests who have little knowledge. There is a story behind this antique. To tell the truth, every guest will come here to introduce us. We don't have to do business. Why don't we open a teahouse?

I waved at him and said that this place is not responsible for introduction. There are many homes next door. Please look next door.

The man gave me an awkward look, but didn't go out. Then he asked, "I want to ask, do you have any rubbings of silk books of the Warring States Period?" Is that the one who was stolen by those native-born masters in Changsha 50 years ago and cheated by an American? "

"You said you were cheated by Americans, and there are still." As soon as I heard it, I got angry. "Looking for Rio Tinto, of course, is to go to the market to find. If there is a designated one to find, how to find it? "

He lowered his voice: "I heard that you have a relationship. I was introduced by Lao Yang? " .

I was shocked when I heard the name Lao Yang. Didn't Lao Yang go to prison the year before last? Why? Did he give up on me? The man in front of me can't be a policeman, can he? I suddenly panicked and stammered, "What?" . . . I don't know which one itches "

"I know, I know," he smiled and took out a watch from his arms. "You see, Lao Yang said that you will understand when you look at this."

That watch was given to him by his first lover when he was in the northeast. He regards it as his own life. When he was drunk, he took it out and read it. It was called "cuckoo, so beautiful". I asked him what your old lady's name was. He thought for a long time and even cried, saying that I forgot my mother. Lao Yang is willing to give this watch to this person, which shows that this person does have some connections.

But no matter how I look at this man, I think he looks disgusting and doesn't look like a serious person. However, when Lao Yang introduced him, I still had to give some face. Besides, if someone comes to see you and doesn't let him finish, it may lead to a problem.

I thought for a moment and decided to be frank, so I raised my hand directly: "Sir, even if it is your itchy friend, what can I do for you?" "

He grinned, revealing a big gold tooth: "A friend of mine brought something back from Shanxi and wanted you to show it to me. Is it true? "

As soon as I heard it, I probably understood that this bird man should not be a grave robber. He may have something good to drag out and never seen it. He wants someone to evaluate it. He raised all kinds of birds in his mother's forest and even dared to run errands in the regular antique market.

However, such people are generally outlaws, so it is better not to offend them. I tried my best to open a service industry standard smile and said to him, "Look at your Beijing accent. You flatter me too much to come to the south and ask me for advice. I am afraid that you are drunk! "

He smiled: "It is said that southerners are all J ng, which is true. You are young and transparent. To tell the truth, I really didn't come to see you this time. I want to meet your old man? "

I was surprised and my face suddenly changed. My grandfather's background is very strange. Few people know him. Someone asked him, this is probably not a good thing. They asked him coldly, "What is your motivation for looking for my grandfather?"

Gold teeth saw that my face was so ugly at once, and he was also shocked. He said, "unintentionally, unintentionally. I'm just an ordinary antique lover. I just want to know if your father left one or two rubbings after stealing silk books from the Warring States Period in Biaoziling, Changsha. We want to buy one and see if it is the same as what we have. "

Before he finished, I yelled at the guy who was dozing off: "Wang Meng, from Fujian!" " "

The old man with golden teeth was anxious: "Don't accumulate, why do you have to drive people away when you talk?" "

I said you came too late. My father traveled to the west last year. If you want to find him, go back and find a crooked neck tree to hang it. Maybe I can meet him again! I pushed him out and walked him to the door.

The old man with big gold teeth has a surprisingly thick skin. He clung to the post outside the threshold and refused to leave. He shouted, "Don't worry, don't worry, let me say another word, let me say another word!" "

I delayed him for a long time, but I couldn't move him. I have no choice. I scolded him: "say it quickly, don't delay my business!" "

"I said that you are a little grandson, why don't you listen to me?" He smiled with a thief. "It doesn't matter if the old man is gone. I didn't say how bad it was. At least, you should see what I brought. Do you also sell old itchy faces? "

I looked at him. The man's smile depends on his appearance here, which has attracted a large group of tourists to see him outside. If the trouble continues, I will probably be in tomorrow's newspaper, so I have to nod: "Well, let's have a good look at it recently, and don't play tricks here, but I will be honest." I dare not say whether I can see any results. "

"That's, that's, I'm in this business, too, and I know this rule!"

In fact, there are more than 20 volumes of this warring States silk book, each of which is different. The book that my grandfather stole at that time was only a short part of it. At that time, there were indeed a few rubbings preserved to this day. They are the treasures of my family, and money can't buy them in the world. Even if I make up a phone call, the old man will never find them.

We went back to the back room, and I asked Wang Meng to pour the old man a cup of tea and let him take out his things. The old man with gold teeth took a piece of white paper from his pocket and handed it to me. I get angry at the sight. Shit, it's still a copy.

"Yes, that baby can run around with it, and it will break in a dozen." He said, still keeping a mysterious low voice: "If I didn't have a wide range of contacts, this thing would have gone abroad long ago, so it can be regarded as serving the people?" .

I ha ha a smile. "Don't you look like an inverted bucket? I don't think you dare shoot. This is a national treasure, you don't want it! " "

I exposed a word, and the old man turned green, but he wanted something from me, so he had to endure it and said, "You can't say that. Each line has its own way. I think your father was famous when he was a local tyrant in Changsha ... "

I put a finger on his nose and said, "Don't talk too much. If you want to mention my grandfather again, take this thing back and see for yourself! " "

"Well, let's stop. Show it to me quickly so that I can run quickly."

I unfolded the white paper and saw the typesetting inside, and I knew it was a well-preserved silk book of the Warring States period, but it was not the one that my grandfather stole at that time. However, a closer look reveals that it is not the same as it really is. Since I promised to help people see it, I don't want to be perfunctory. I encouraged them to bother me in the future, so I put this thing under a magnifying glass and looked at it carefully.

After reading when there is a cigarette, I gradually got a bottom in my heart. I shook my head hopefully at my gold teeth and said, "Although the copied thread is quite old, it should be a fake of the later dynasty, that is to say, an antique fake. This is an embarrassing thing. Because of your poor copy, I can't catch it. I can only guess that it is from the Han Dynasty. How can I put it?

"So, is this the one your grandfather stole?"

"To tell you the truth, my grandfather stole the car he didn't come, and was cheated by the Americans at first sight. I really can't answer your question. " I pretended to sigh sincerely, thinking that if I let him know that I have rubbings in my hand, it will definitely spread out and it will be difficult to attract others. It is better to fool him and let him go to other places to find a way.

The old man with gold teeth really believed me when he looked at me and sighed, "That's unfortunate. It seems that there is really no hope of not looking for that American. "

"Why, why do you care so much about this volume?" I asked, this is too strange. The collection of this ancient book depends on fate. It would be greedy to find a set of 20 volumes of ancient books during the Warring States period.

"Brother, to tell you the truth, I'm really not an inverted bucket. Look at my physique, it's a toss-up, but my friend is really an expert, and I don't know what he sells. In short, everyone has his own reasons, and I don't ask much. " He smiled, shook his head and sighed, "Well, since you said so, I'm dead, so I won't keep my little brother. I'll go first. "

Then he stood up, punched me and left without looking back. I feel a little sorry for him for leaving so disappointed. However, in our line of work, it is absolutely impossible to be careless everywhere. It's a big deal for him to spend more time. I'll be relieved when I think about it.

At this moment, I suddenly didn't bring copy paper. Maybe I just got hit too hard. I picked it up and looked at the contents. Suddenly found an interesting rule. It was a fox-like face, and two eyes without pupils were stereoscopic, as if they were concave from paper. I took a breath. I was only concerned about the year when he was judged, and I didn't read the content carefully. Now it seems that this should be rare.

I photographed it with a digital camera and took the paper to Wang Meng outside. If Jinya comes back later, I'll give it back to him directly. He thinks I covet his benefits.

My grandfather is from Changsha, and he is a grave robber. It is not surprising that he entered this industry. In today's words, he is hereditary. When my family was Taigong 13 years old, there was a drought in Central China. At that time, there was a drought and famine, and there was nothing to eat. At that time, there was nothing in a corner of Changsha, but there were many ancient tombs, so the whole village relied on the mountain to eat three tombs, and the whole village was together.

Later, after a j and jīng, this thing has a cultural accumulation. By my grandfather's generation, there were already rules and sects. There are two groups of grave robbers in history. According to custom, they should belong to the south. They mainly searched for ancient tombs by exploring the soil. Before the Republic of China, they used an awl, and after the Republic of China, they used a Luoyang shovel. A nose can tell the depth of a dynasty. The present Luoyang shovel is well described in many books. In fact, the northern faction does not need Luoyang shovel.

The North-South School is a big school of literati. It's not quite in tune with the things in the Jianghu. Later, after several troubled times, more people became monks halfway, and gradually brought these things into this business. My grandfather never defined himself before. Later, the following disciples asked, only to know that their practice is likely to belong to the southern school. These two schools have been arguing endlessly since they were founded. The southern faction said that the northern faction was unrealistic, with too many flowers and intestines, and stole a tomb. Nanpai doesn't have many rules and never avoids the dead. People in the northern faction call the southern faction a local dog, destroying cultural relics, and even pulling out the dead to sell. The southern faction is called the northern faction hypocrite, as if it were a thief. Later, when two gangs stepped on the plate, they often came to the point of fighting. There was even a corpse fight in Xiangxi. Finally, the two factions finally rowed out the Yangtze River and divided it. The northern faction is called inverted bucket, and the southern faction is called Tao Sha or Taotu. Luoyang shovel was invented after it was divided, and the northern faction simply disdained to use it.

After liberation, the boundary between north and south was not so obvious. My grandfather said he was from the South, but many of their old friends were from the North, and their children were even more confused. There is no need to study these carefully.

My grandfather, illiterate, entered a literacy class after liberation. At that time, he only scoured sand, learned to look up a word and tortured him to death. Thanks to his education, he can record some of his experiences. The third child in Biaoziling, Changsha is my grandfather. These things were recorded word for word in his old notebook. I am a literate person with a good family background. He told me all these stories.

That note is a family heirloom. My grandfather's nose was completely ruined after that incident. Later, he trained a dog to smell the soil and nicknamed it "Dog King". This is a true story. Now Changsha is a native teacher, and the older generation knows this name.

As for how my grandfather survived later, what happened to my second uncle and his wife? My grandfather never told me. As far as I can remember, I have never seen a second uncle with one eye and one arm. I guess he's really unlucky. When I mentioned this, my grandfather sighed and said, "That's not a story that children can listen to." No matter how we ask and act coquettish, he won't say a word. Finally, as we grow older, we gradually lose our childhood curiosity.

*****************************

I received a short message when I closed the door at night. Open it. It's from my uncle.

My uncle is the only one in the last generation of my family who is still engaged in grave robbery. He heard that he was a good friend for some time in his early years, but later he couldn't get along with the leaders, so he went out to play antiques himself. His uncle often boasts that he made his debut earlier than anyone else. At the age of six, he was alone. When he was ten years old, he was already famous in No.8 Foreign School. It can be said that he is a natural grave robber.

However, this grave robber has basically washed his hands of it now. According to several of his buddies, he occasionally went to the grave to pick things a few years ago. In recent years, he has settled down to concentrate on his hands. It seems that he is old and unconvinced.

I opened his message and thought he was going to invite me to dinner. Every time I think of it, I just say, "It's old-fashioned after 9 o'clock."

This is the code word for our business, which means that the new goods have arrived, so let me choose. My uncle and Mangshan have a good relationship and many apprentices. Maybe some of them set up tombs and things went to Hangzhou. I was considering whether to go or not when I received another one: "I have a dragon back, come quickly."

Money is tight recently, so it is better not to look at good things. But when he said he had a dragon back, my eyes lit up. This dragon's back indicates a treasure. His uncle's eyes are so high that even he thinks it's a good thing. I'm afraid it is really a rare treasure. If you miss this opportunity, you will lose it.

I'm determined to close the shop and drive my broken Jinbei car straight to my uncle's house. It was a crowded place when he went there to sell dirty things. If I go there later, I may have nothing. I was a little anxious and didn't notice it after stepping on the accelerator a few times. The result was stopped by Comrade jǐng at a crossroads. After a long struggle, it was an hour before the car reached his downstairs. I just got off work.

My heart is already cold. After listening to his words, I knew that these things must have been sold. I leaned down and said, "no, uncle, leave the good things to me." You sell too fast. "

"If you know it's a good thing, you won't come soon. Lao Tzu is the first to inform you! "

I sighed and didn't want to explain. Just then, a young man came out of his front door with a long camphor box in his hand. The outside of the box was wrapped in cloth, and only one cover was exposed. I know this thing is called sword box, which is used to put swords or nod swords. This thing is very valuable for a box. If there is a sword in it, it will be astronomical.

I guess it's a dragon's back, pointing to something on the young man's back. His uncle nodded and made a helpless gesture.

At the moment, I feel bored and am preparing to go back the same way. My uncle told me to wait, saying that there were still many people upstairs picking things in his garage and asked me to come up and help collect money. I thought I had nothing to do at night, so I went up to help.

After the matter was handled, I made half a cup of Wuliangye, and while drinking with him, I told him that the old man with golden teeth had come to spy today. I told him this as a joke. Unexpectedly, when he heard this, he snorted, "Gold Tooth shouted from běI jοng, this is really suicide on the bridge-hitting the bridge (coincidence)."

As soon as I heard this, I wondered if my uncle knew them, so I asked what was going on. My uncle said that in recent years, I heard that several people are very arrogant when they touch gold thieves. There is a gold tooth named Bé i J Ρ ng who sells them. It seems that a treasure cave has really been opened in Shanxi recently, and it seems that it has really poured a lot of treasures for them.

I thought the silk book might come from an ancient tomb in Shanxi, so I printed out what was in the digital camera and showed it to him. His uncle is all over his face and has entered the state. When he saw silk, his face suddenly changed.

"What's the matter?" I asked, "What's wrong with this thing?"

He frowned and said, "I told your boy to learn more from me at ordinary times, but you just wouldn't listen." This thing can be seen at a glance. This is a map.
