Chapter 4
() Found the way home!
Changdong had very little luggage, and he packed up all his bag, which was even more deflated than the one he had when he came.
Looking at it very desolate, when Xiao He sent him out, he couldn't help but confirm again: "Brother Dong, look around again, don't fall anything."
This reminded Changdong. He turned back to the backstage and took out a shadow play box.
Before liberation, those shadow puppetry troupes that were not large in size had only two opera boxes when they were loaded with props, and the shoulder poles were trembling, and they were full of family possessions.
Changdong said: "I am a bored person and have no hobbies. Give me this showcase. When I'm fine, I can still practice picking threads and pass the time."
The playbox is not worth much, Xiao He has to make a favor. He sent Changdong to the entrance of the alley and said politely: "Brother Dong, if you want to come back, you can just call me at any time."
Changdong said: "Thank you."
He walked towards the street in silence, carrying a bag in one hand and a playbox in the other. The box was heavier than the bag, and it made him press down on his shoulders.
Xiao He sighed, feeling that Changdong had no hope of coming back.
I took a taxi to Beijiaofangxia. This is a city village waiting to be demolished. Because the developers lacked funds, they demolished and stopped. Half of the remaining bricks and tiles remained, and half of the buildings still existed. When the wind suffocated, it was so as not to be lived in.
Based on his memory, he stopped outside a large storefront, took out the key, opened the automatic roller shutter door, and lifted it up with force.
The accumulated dust fell down, instantly making his hair gray. The dust danced around the sunlight.
An off-road vehicle was parked in the house.
Changdong walked to the side of the car, and a dried rose flower was inserted beside the rearview mirror of the car, which turned into a dark brown color. He stretched out his hand and the crisp crumbs flew into the air.
The car was given to him by Kong Yang a few years ago. After getting it, Changdong spent almost half of the car to modify it. The Gobi Desert is not a rural road, and the desert is prone to trap cars. Lop Nur has large salt shells, which will poke the tires as if they are chewing it like a dog.
The anti-roll bar was installed, the body was raised, the whole terrain was replaced with large tires, and the electric winch was equipped with a series of modifications. After a series of modifications, the originally powerful and handsome off-road had a bit of incongruous and solidity. Kong Yang thought it was not good-looking enough, and Changdong replied that it was enough to be practical.
There are many Land Rover Hummers on the road, which can attract beauties to favor, but for him, the car is used, and it must be saved when in danger. It is also a luck to be able to retain this car... At that time, "Black Camellia", it was sponsored by a big brand car dealer, and for the sake of advertising effect, he could not drive his own car.
Later, Kong Yang died, he sold his property and left the car. When he sealed it here, he felt that he might use it one day.
The body of the car was covered with dust, so Changdong dusted it with his hand, stood in front of the rear compartment for a while, and slowly opened it.
The smell of plastic that had been stuffed for a long time came to my face. There were bundles of thick black PVC body bags inside. There were eighteen, and there were also a bag of fragments, including his and Kong Yang’s.
Changdong moved the body bag to the side and moved the shadow play box to the location.
I wonder if Fei Tang and the others watched the video. At 4 minutes and 12 seconds, when he was hit by a brick, he said hoarsely: "I will find a way to help them collect the body."
No family members of the deceased believed this sentence. The relevant search and rescue units have explained to them many times: "It is normal that the body cannot be found. Do you know Peng Jiamu? He disappeared there in the early 1980s, and six large-scale search and rescues were all on the helicopter. It has not been found for more than 30 years."
After putting down his luggage, Changdong sat in the cab. When cleaning the glove box, he found an expired chocolate candy. After two years of cold and heat, it melted and condensed, and it was gone. He peeled the wrapping paper and sent the candy into his mouth and chewed it slowly.
There is a deteriorating rancidity in the sweetness.
He took the photo out of his inner pocket of his clothes.
Kong Yang, who grew out of the yellow clay, opened his eyes wide open, and died with his eyes open. His long hair was chaotic in the wind, like a hand that attracted him, calling him over.
When he woke up, Fei Tang still felt that it was very confusing: it was fine to talk badly behind his back; it was fine to do something bad; but it was too fucked by someone in person.
So I was more angry than before when I woke up. I opened the store first. When I passed the grocery area, I didn’t pay attention. I touched two local eggs. When the egg shell was broken, the egg liquid flowed all over the floor, and the egg white and yolk were not distributed... I couldn’t sell it for too long, and it was all broken and turbid.
Fei Tang wanted to curse her mother: The antique business was not easy in the past two years, so he set up a store to sell groceries just to find some subsidies. Unexpectedly, he would be in a recession. He would pay for one day of money by opening a store. If this continues, what year and month will he get rich?
It is still the old saying that a person will not be rich without unlucky wealth, and a horse will not be fat without night grass. You must have unlucky wealth.
After washing up, it was almost noon, and no guests came to the door. Fei Tang took bread and milk from the shelves for breakfast, turned on the computer while eating, and was about to play mahjong twice to relieve the depression in front of him.
As soon as I logged in, I received a message with bangs.
...I compared it last night and found several videos related to Ye Liuxi. They all sent you an email. See if you want to transfer it to your friend.
Fei Tangman accidentally clicked into the email address and opened the video.
He didn't have the patience of Changdong, and dragged the progress bar forward and backward, sweeping around quickly until he suddenly saw a familiar storefront.
Shaanxi Blog?
Nowadays, people who are busy with antiques cannot rely on their mouths that are full of splendor. They have to have some "cultural literacy". Fei Tang Shu is very busy and often goes to Shaanxi University to educate himself. When he fools guests, he holds the museum's thighs: "Look at this painted female erect figure, it is almost exactly the same as the one preserved by Shaanxi University..."
He is as familiar with the layout of the exhibition hall there as his own shelves.
Fei Tang squinted his eyes and watched the edited and spliced video: Ye Liuxi walked slowly and did not stop. Following the guidance, he entered the Treasure Hall.
She ignored the two jars and one can at the entrance; she skipped the dazzling jade and gold utensils...
Finally, when she stopped, Fei Tang's scalp became numb.
An agate cup.
There were people coming and going in the treasure hall. In front of the display cabinet of the beast-headed agate, the commentator came and left. After a few groups of people passed, Ye Liuxi still had no place to move.
Fei Tang even held his breath.
When Ye Liuxi finally left, Fei Tang's heartbeat was like a drumbeat: 30 yuan tickets to the Treasure House, so many priceless things, she didn't look at the dance horse-haired cup pot, nor did she look at the smoked ball and silver sachet, why just look at the beast-headed agate?
I had any thoughts that broke out in his mind, like the bubbles that had to explode before water rolled, just a little bit less...
He called his colleague and asked a little incoherently: "I'll ask you, the man who went to your agate cup, a man or a woman? Is it true?"
The other end replied: "Female. I tell you, the master and I, look at the four eyes, the goods are real, a whole piece of silk agate, a pretty jade carving, a golden hat with the mouth and nose..."
"Why didn't you take it?"
The other end was so upset: "The beast-headed agate is so famous. It's so famous. It's been collected by Shaanxi Bo. When you first see it, you must think it's a fake. You won't think about it anymore, and you won't sell it."
"When the woman left, I smelled it back. She kept saying that beast-headed agate was an isolated product in the country, but it was a wine vessel. Even if it was for the emperor... there were dragon robes and phoenix robes, it should be a pair of them in theory..."
Speaking of this, his tone suddenly became alert and eager: "Why are you asking this? Have you seen it?"
Fei Tang stammered and said that he happened to be shopping in Shaanxi. He saw it, so he asked casually.
He put down the phone, his mouth was dry, and he said to himself: It's impossible, how could such a coincidence come from? If there was one person who was wandering outside, the industry would have caused a bloody storm. He would have thought about it?
Fei Tang shook his head and drank the milk in a few mouthfuls. When he threw the milk box into the trash can, he thought: This thing is worth a lot of money.
I played mahjong online again, and I was so impressed that I was in a daze: If it was true, I would only share a little bit of it...
I couldn't help but laugh, daydreaming is so fucking sweet.
He leaned into the chair, and the back of his waist was a little harsh. When he took it out, he saw that it was the pure copper turtle shell hexagram.
Last night, he arranged the hexagram, and the hexagram said that when he went out to the west, he would be great wealth. When he looked up, he saw that the station was Changdong, and Changdong was looking for Ye Liuxi. Maybe the word "xi" refers to Ye Liuxi? Great wealth and beast-headed agate, isn't it great wealth?
In the dark, with so many signs, is it God's way?
Fei Tang's face became hot. He picked up the turtle shell and swallowed hard.
If it is the same result, even if... even if God is playing with him, he will accompany him!
Changdong spent three days to Naqi Town.
The town is located on the border of Mongolian and Gansu Province. The Mongolian and Han people live in mixed residences, and they have almost become a Chinese. They drive out of the town to the Tengger or Badan Jilin Desert. In addition, there are many ruins of the ancient Xixia city found around the surrounding area a few years ago, and the flag jumped into a new popular place on the northwest line... However, the town's facilities cannot keep up with it. With more tourists, the living and transportation are inconvenient, which seems to be mixed and chaotic.
I bought a down jacket on Changdong Road. In mid-to-late October, this place where I wore a cotton jacket in the morning and wore gauze in the afternoon was trembling at night, and I couldn't take it lightly.
When the car entered Naqi Town, he found that tourism development had brought a lot of development to the local area: the road outside the bus station has been built to a very large scale in small and medium-sized cities, including convenience stores, auto parts stores, and fried chicken fast food chains.
But without planning, it is inevitable that the old and new mistakes are wrong: sometimes only turn one turn, the cement road immediately turns into a dirt road, stray dogs look for food by the ditch, and the wind blows on the dead old trees on the roadside, and there are only three or five tables on the small restaurants on the street, and colorful plastic curtains are hung at the door.
Changdong found a hotel to stay in, bought a new map of Naqi City. The original plan was to walk the town, but he was lucky. After only half an hour, he saw Ye Liuxi.
She was on a dirt roadside at the fork at the highway. The door of the back box was opened and a cloth stall was made. There were a bunch of melons with cantaloupe. Now it was the late-ripening melons and squids on the market. It was considered a local specialty, with melon stalls on the roadside one after another.
Changdong didn't believe that Ye Liuxi was really a melon seller.
He entered a fast food restaurant at the intersection and chose a window to make it easy to observe.
From morning to afternoon, he ordered several rounds of snacks and drinks, and Ye Liuxi was actually selling melons.
She had a thick knife board on the car, and a straight-handled watermelon knife with a ruler length of a ruler was placed on the board. The green and hemp skin was olive-shaped and thick, so it was difficult for men to cut, but she easily cooked it. She raised her knife and fell, and sliced melons were as easy as cutting tofu.
It is beneficial to be beautiful, and her business is much better than the stalls nearby.
At noon, she went to the nearby restaurant to buy a lunch box, sat on a stool and scooped it with a spoon. A stray dog came over with his tail, and she picked up a piece of rib from the lunch box and threw it over.
There were not many people in the afternoon, and the temperature was getting lower and lower. She wrapped herself in a military-green cotton coat and read magazines. The erotic magazines on the street stalls were all exposed-looking girls.
It was almost evening, Changdong was sure that he could not observe anything and asked the waiter to pay.
The waitress in the store looked mean and had a dark face when she delivered food to him several times. Changdong originally thought it was a small place and had no sense of service, but only after checking out, he realized it was not.
