Artisans in Tunli

Chapter 103 Graduation
"My dear university, I, Hu Hansan, are back again!"

Jiang Shan saw me shouting like a fool from the side, and hurried forward, pretending not to know me.

After more than half a year, returning to this familiar campus, everything around is so kind.It's a pity that things are changing and people are changing, and I will be leaving here soon.

The thankful professor, the young instructor, and the female classmate who teased me about my ugly drawing.Seeing that we are going to separate from each other, looking for the other side of our lives.

And I, still riding my lonely boat, ride the wind and waves in the sea of ​​time.

I originally planned to invite him to a meal or something after handing over the thesis to the supervisor, but he severely criticized me, saying that I fixed these formalistic things within a few days of my internship, which tarnished the atmosphere of the school.

But the two of us still drank a lot at night, this is the humor of the Northeast people.At school, you control me; outside, we can call each other brothers.

"I'm not talking about you. You're working every day. Jianlong is a big company. If you don't want to go, don't go." The director was already a little drunk, and stared at me straight.

I glanced at him and said, "You don't know how sacred my current job is. What do you bastards know?" After speaking, we clinked glasses again.

It cannot be denied that there was nothing wrong with what he said.However, people can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes.

Jiang Shan did not follow, saying that she hadn't been home for a long time and missed her mother.I suddenly remembered her younger brother Zhuge Xuanming, saying that when he was in Changbai Mountain, this kid rarely showed his face in public, maybe because of his different majors.

After seeing off the drunk instructor, I walked to the school alone, and found that the "Saijiangnan BBQ City", which I used to go to frequently, had changed owners again, and this time it became a hair salon.

I touched my messy hair, thinking I should go in and get a haircut or something, and if I stay like this, I don't know if my father will be angry when he sees me like this.

I hate getting my hair cut, not because I'm lazy, but because I hate the fact that the barber is always next to me and giving me promotions.It's just a few centimeters shorter, and you can tie it up. At least keep a bit of the image of a Taoist priest.

After escaping the barbershop, he went straight back to school.

The thesis grades came down quickly, and it wasn’t until I took the graduation photos that I realized that there are so many people in our class, why are so many faces so unfamiliar?
After taking the photo, she went back to the dormitory to pack her things, and found that Jiang Shan was standing at the door of the dormitory at some point.Said to her: "I'm going to get my luggage, you wait for me here for a while."

When I went out, Jiang Shan was already impatient and urged me to leave quickly. She had to go back to Changbai Mountain to continue her internship tonight.But I am going to BJ, and I don’t know when the next meeting will be.

"Jiang Shan, we can only make phone calls from now on."

"Who said that, you should change your mobile phone quickly. There is a software called WeChat on your mobile phone, which can send voice and video."

I rarely care about these things. When she said that the mobile phone can video, I was shocked.I thought to myself that when I used to use QQ video on the computer, I thought it was incredible, but now I can use the mobile phone to video?
She joked that I came from ancient times, and I could only smile bitterly. After all, the things I have been exposed to in the past few years have nothing to do with technology.

I have yet to fully reflect on my time in Harbin, so I am about to leave. If I come back here in the future, I don’t know if it will be the Year of the Monkey or the Horse.Why don't you keep some memories.

He took out a talisman to protect the home from the bag, hid it under a floor tile, and got up to make a call to Zhou Peng.Behind me, someone suddenly called my name.Looking back, it was Zhou Peng, Sun Hao, and Dorje Nyima.

"Nimma? Why are you here too?"

When he saw me asking him, he smiled heartily and said, "I'm here to see you off. I may not have the chance to meet you in the future. As for me, I don't know where I will work in the future, so I may not be able to meet you."

Nima's Mandarin still hasn't improved much, but we've gotten used to his accent.

This feeling of separation is probably experienced by everyone.After hugging Nima, he took out a string of rosary beads from his pocket and handed it to me, saying that it can ward off evil spirits.

I don't know, if I wear this string of rosary beads, will it make me, a Taoist priest, look a bit nondescript.But I'm still very happy, at least he really regards me as his brother.Reciprocity is a traditional Chinese virtue, so I also took out a folded Yin Talisman and gave it to him.

Sitting in the car, I fiddled with the rosary in my hand, but my mind was full of Jiang Shan.At this time, the phone rang suddenly, and it turned out to be Liu Chunli's call.

"Hey, Thirteen, we found the information about Qian Hong. She is a Chinese-American, and she owns several large companies and chain restaurants. However, given that the companies under her name are all in It's registered overseas, so we don't have the right to investigate the specific situation. It depends on whether Li Qing can apply for a search warrant."

Liu Chunli told me about Qian Hong's financial situation, and found that this woman is not only ordinary rich, she can be regarded as extremely rich.

I hung up the phone, and I haven't recovered yet.Zhou Peng saw that I looked like I had eaten shit, so he hurried over and asked me what was wrong.

I didn't say anything, I thought of my father's news that my eldest sister gave birth earlier, and said that I had a niece, and I was a little happy.He thought about it, and said that I am a generation older now, and I have to treat him to dinner then.

"Brother, you're arriving at Changbai Mountain, I'm going to BJ's!"

"What? You're not going to Changbai Mountain anymore, why don't you want me to buy you a ticket?"

When they heard the news that I was going to BJ, they both had such reluctant expressions on their faces. I said that I would go back to the Northeast to see them when I had time. Don't say goodbye to life and death.

"Thirteen, I'll take you to a place first." As soon as I got out of the station, Liu Chunling was about to pull me away.

I don't know what's going on, but every time I see Liu Chunling, she is always in a hurry.There is a big difference from when we first met. Could it be that she is not Liu Chunling, but Liu Chunli?No, they don't look alike, do they?
"Don't tear my clothes, slow down!"

After getting into Liu Chunling's car, she asked the driver to drive directly to Panjiayuan.I asked her why she went there. Aren't they all places selling handicrafts?

She turned to me and said, "When my sister was strolling over there, she found a photo. I don't know exactly what it is. She asked me to take you there directly after you got off the bus."

I don't know what kind of medicine is sold in Liu Chunli's gourd, but it is true that she can always find some useful clues.

After arriving at Panjiayuan, there is a dazzling array of old and new goods, real and fake, all over the place.Although the temperature outside is very sultry, there are still many people walking around here.

I was a bit of a curiosity seeker, and I was attracted by these weird things after a while.When I came back to my senses, I found that Liu Chunling had gone somewhere.Forget it, let's take a walk for a while.

"Young man, what are you looking for? The price is negotiable." A wretched old man with a smile on his face leaned over with malicious intentions. It seemed that the stall in front of me belonged to him.

He looked at me shaking his head and simply ignored me.But he who had already turned around turned around again immediately, staring at the jade pendant on my chest with his eyes shining.

I didn't know what he wanted to do, but just to be on the safe side, I immediately reached out and stuffed the jade pendant into my collar.

"Young man, can you tell the man, where did you get this thing?"

"It was passed down from my ancestors." I didn't know much about socializing, so I simply made up a reason and turned to leave.

When he saw me turning around, he quickly walked around the stall and walked up to me.The previous smile on his face disappeared, turned into a serious look, and said seriously: "What is the relationship between Mr. Qin and you?"

Mr. Qin?I don't seem to know anyone with the surname Qin?After thinking about it, Qin Zhaodi suddenly came to mind.

"Not familiar, hehe, not familiar." I don't know how he knew Qin Zhaodi's grandfather, but there is definitely something going on here.

At this time, Liu Chunling also came back anxiously from the front, followed by Liu Chunli.

Seeing me chatting with people here, she quickly complained and said, "What are you doing, can you stop wandering around, there are so many people here, maybe someone else is up to something." After finishing speaking, she rolled her eyes This wretched old man next to me.

I quickly apologized to the aunt, and then Liu Chunli came over and told us to leave quickly.The old man saw that I was going to slip away, so he hurriedly said, if I have time after I finish my work, I will come here to find him, and I have something to tell me.

Seeing his serious expression, I am afraid it is an important matter.However, I don't think he can say anything useful to me.Liu Chunling still asked me in my ear. This old man didn't seem to be a good guy at first glance. I didn't know how to answer him, so I simply nodded along with her wishes.

Following Liu Chunli and sisters to a door, she told me that this is where the photos were found.Then, he took me inside.

A fat man came out from inside, with a kind face, well-dressed, and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses.At first glance, it's not at the same level as those oily people outside.

After serving the tea, he greeted us to sit down.Liu Chunli called him Uncle Wei as soon as she opened her mouth, and her tone was very polite. It seems that they should have known each other before.

"Uncle Wei, I'm really sorry to come here empty-handed this time."

"Hey, don't be so outspoken, we are all family friends, there is no need."

While talking to Liu Chunli, Uncle Wei glanced at me several times, but there was a shrewd look in those small eyes.I think that Liu Chunli's father, Liu Jianguo, was an antique dealer in his ancestors. If the two of them are family friends, he is probably also an antique dealer.

I didn't feel interested in their conversation, so I started to observe the things in the room.Among the dazzling array of antique porcelain, I found an out-of-place pottery pot with two "Zhang Tianshi Talisman" cross-posted on it to seal the mouth of the pot.

Seeing this situation, I quickly closed my eyes and wanted to see what was in the jar, and it had to be sealed with such a powerful talisman.But surprisingly, I didn't feel anything.It may be that the power of the talisman is too strong, directly suppressing the "things" inside.

"Thirteen, this is the photo I told you about, take a look." Liu Chunli said.

It turned out that when I closed my eyes just now, Uncle Wei took out a faded photo from the back room and handed it to Liu Chunli. She took the photo and handed it to me in a hurry.When I saw it, a familiar scene immediately appeared in my mind.

Three little kids, squatting on a stone slab, roasting potatoes and corn.

Isn't this the stone slab in the back garden of Xiao Li's house back then?
