"Affected by the super moon, at 7:4 p.m. on July [-]th, a rare "ghost king tide" will appear on the Qiantang River. This time, the "ghost king tide" is fierce and destructive. Pay attention to safety, don't venture into the bottom of the river embankment to watch the tide, in order to avoid accidents..."

It was the rush hour for commuting in the morning, and the inside of the No. 11 bus was like steamed buns in a steamer, rapidly expanding, hot and crowded.Su Qian was holding the briefcase in one hand, and the other hand was tightly clinging to the plastic ring above her head. Her body was being squeezed and pushed from all directions. Suddenly, the upper of Su Qian's shoe was stepped on by some woman's stiletto heel. With one kick, Su Qian felt a pain, and instinctively lifted his foot up, but regretted that he could never put his foot back again.It happened that the house was leaking all night, and at this moment, someone in the carriage farted, and the stench was so strong that Su Qian almost vomited out all the ravioli she ate in the morning. Fortunately, Su Qian farted better than ordinary people. Be a head taller, so you won't be suffocated by the stuffy air in the bus.Looking at the carriage that looked like a can of sardines, Su Qian secretly swore in her heart that he would work hard to make money and try to get a mortgage to buy a second-hand car at the end of the year.It was hard for Su Qian to imagine that she could wear a neat outfit before going out, and now she didn't know what it would be like to be pushed and shoved. Su Qian couldn't help but feel a little frustrated when she met a client for the first time.

"Xiao Xi, you can't go watch the tide this time. I heard that there was also a ghost king tide in the third year of Xianfeng, sweeping away the entire small village in the lower reaches of the Qiantang River..."

Hearing the report on the "Ghost King Tide" on the radio in the bus, a thin soprano voice whispered in the car, Su Qian lowered her head slightly, and found that the person who was speaking was a fat man who was tightly attached to her chest. The middle-aged woman, her hair exuded a faint smell of sweat, and Su Qian raised her head again with nausea.

"Mom, this is a once-in-a-hundred-year tide. It's a pity not to watch it. Besides, what age is it now, and there are tide-watching guides. As long as you stay away from it, you'll be fine."

Another young and delicate female voice replied, that female voice was gentle and sweet, and it was really pleasant to hear. Su Qian couldn't help lowering her head again, only then did she notice that standing on her left, next to the briefcase in her hand was a young man. The girl is about sixteen or seventeen years old, with curved eyebrows, thick and slender upper and lower eyelashes, a delicate and upright nose, and the slightly raised corners of her lips. From Su Qian's perspective, she looks like a side face. .

"Xiao Xi, you don't know..."

The middle-aged woman suddenly lowered her voice,

"It is said that there is a thousand-year-old ghost on the Qiantang River. This "ghost king tide" is actually the ghost king who came back to claim his life. Every time there is a "ghost king tide", people will die..."

Hearing this, the young and pretty girl suddenly giggled and said,

"Mom, I said that you are too feudal and superstitious. We mentioned in our geography class that the tide is formed by the earth's rotation and gravity. It is a natural phenomenon. How can there be any ghost king? But I made an appointment with my classmates, let's try to stand far away and watch, it's okay..."

The middle-aged woman seemed to be persuaded by her daughter to stop talking, and the car once again sank into dullness.

"The ghost king is demanding his life..."

For some reason, Su Qian felt goosebumps all over her body when she heard this word, and the pair of bloody eyes from the dream reappeared unconsciously in her mind.My whole body trembled, and the file bag slipped from my hand inadvertently, but the space in the car did not allow Su Qian to bend down to pick it up, and Su Qian couldn't even know where the file bag fell.It contained the materials that he had carefully prepared for three days to meet this Greek client. The more Su Qian thought about it, the more anxious she became.

"Is this yours?"

Suddenly a young and delicate voice rang in her ears, Su Qian lowered her head again, and met a pair of clear and bright eyes.The girl who had just talked to the middle-aged woman was looking up at him.It was a beautiful face, young, clean and beautiful, full of youthful breath, and this kind of breath made Su Qian feel familiar.

"Forehead……"

Su Qian was stunned for a while, then nodded in a half-answer, and took the file bag from the girl's hand.

Mr. Woods has a typical Greek appearance, but he still maintains a good figure in middle age, but a pair of light blue and white eyeballs are somewhat incompatible with his straight and straight figure and vigorous steps. It doesn't look very bright.

"Empty..."

For some reason, Su Qian wanted to use this word to describe the eyes of the Greek Woods.But it was just a fleeting thought. When meeting a client alone for the first time, Su Qian was so nervous that she didn't know where to put her hands and feet, so she couldn't spare any energy to evaluate the client's appearance.

The Wuyue Culture Museum in City A is located in a low-lying place on the lower reaches of the Qiantang River, only a few tens of meters away from the tide-watching place. Su Qian plans to take Woods to visit the museum, and by the way, watch the rare ghost king tide at night.He didn't believe what the woman on the bus just said about "the king of ghosts is taking her life". Besides, the radio didn't prohibit tourists from watching the tide. As long as they don't go under the embankment, there is no danger normally.He learned from the previous email exchange with Woods that Woods likes the sea and watching the tide, so the "Ghost King Tide" at night must not be missed.Su Qian briefly explained the itinerary for the day to Woods, and Woods expressed his satisfaction.

Because the most important treasures of the country, the Goujian Sword of the King of Yue and the Fucha Spear of the King of Wu, were exhibited in this little-known museum for the first time, so the number of people in the museum was several times higher than usual.

Su Qian tried her best to open a path among the moving crowd, and led Woods towards the Wuyue Weaponry Museum.Suddenly, Su Qian's eyes froze, and he saw Fang Li, the owner of the Wonton Shop, standing at the entrance of the Wuyue Weapons Museum.It's just that Fang Li looks a little strange at this moment, his face is extremely pale, his pair of peach blossom eyes are wide open, but he doesn't have a trace of expression, he seems to be staring at Su Qian, but there is no smile on his face.He just stood in the crowd like this, motionless, letting the crowd push and push past him.Su Qian was about to say hello to Fang Li, when a terrifying scene suddenly appeared, two pillars of blood gushed out from Fang Li's peach blossom eyes, hanging on his paper-white face.

Su Qian's head buzzed, his whole body seemed to be emptied, a chill rushed from his spine to the top of his head, and then rushed to his limbs and veins, every cell in his body seemed to be clamoring, screaming. Screaming, he felt his hand holding the file bag tremble slightly, and he could barely stand up.

"Mr. Su, is there something wrong?"

Although Woods is a foreigner, he speaks Mandarin with a correct accent.

"Then... over there..."

Su Qian trembled her lips, raised her hand feebly, and pointed in the direction where Fang Li was.

"Is there anything over there?"

Woods looked in the direction of the entrance of the armory pointed by Su Qian with some doubts, but at this moment, Fang Li disappeared. Su Qian rubbed his eyes and stretched them to the maximum, but he still didn't see Fang Li. away from the existence.

"No... nothing..."

Su Qian looked at the scorching sun above his head, and at the people coming and going around him, the fear in his heart dissipated a lot, he breathed a sigh of relief, shook his head and said.

It must be because of the constant nightmares recently, coupled with the pressure of receiving customers, and the high mental tension, so I am confused. After receiving this customer, I must apply for a few days of annual leave to take a good rest, Su Qian thought.

"Mr. Woods, this way please..."

Su Qian led Woods up a few stone steps towards the entrance of the Wuyue Weaponry Museum, but when he passed by just now and saw where Fang Li was standing, Su Qian suddenly felt creepy and had goosebumps all over her body, so she couldn't help speeding up her steps. He led Mr. Woods to the armory quickly.

Entering the armory hall is like getting on the bus that came in the morning. Every display window is crowded with people, and the two large glass display windows in the center of the exhibition hall are the most crowded.Those two glass windows are the treasures of today's town hall: King Goujian of Yue and Fuchai Spear of King Wu.

"Mr. Su, what is it over there? Why is it so lively..."

Uh... At first I thought that Mr. Woods could speak Mandarin perfectly, but I didn't expect that Mr. Woods learned too much, and added a "er" when he spoke two words. Su Qian felt a little uncomfortable hearing it, but for his running For a business person, the customer is his god of wealth, and he should not be easily offended.

"Those are the portable swords of two famous kings in ancient times. They were discovered in the tomb of Chu in Jiangling, Hubei Province about 50 years ago. These two swords are the first-class cultural relics of our country. I heard that the museum's The director applied for it many times, and finally the higher-ups agreed to let these two treasures be exhibited in this museum for three days..."

Su Qian introduced to Woods that because he was worried that Woods, a foreigner, would not understand Chinese history, he omitted the names of the owners of the two swords during the explanation.

"Mr. Su is referring to Goujian, King of Yue, and Fuchai, King of Wu. If I remember correctly, in the end, Fuchai, King of Wu, fell into the beauties of Goujian, King of Yue, and ended up destroying the country..."

Mr. Woods said, for some reason, a strange expression flashed in his light blue eyes.

"It turns out that Mr. Woods knows about King Goujian of Yue and King Fucha of Wu..."

Su Qian was a little surprised. She didn't expect that an ordinary Greek businessman knew something about the history of China more than 2000 years ago. For him, who was illiterate in history and didn't know whether the Spring and Autumn Period was earlier than the Warring States Period or the Warring States Period was earlier than the Spring and Autumn Period, he felt very ashamed. .But fortunately, I still have some understanding of the history of King Goujian of Yue and King Fuchai of Wu. At this moment, I happened to show off in front of Woods. After all, I was born in the land of Wuyue, and even the streets were named Goujian Road, Fucha Road, and Yuewang Street. , Wuwangxiang... Those illiterate vegetable sellers on the street can also talk about Wuyue's past.

"Actually, the strength of Wu State was far higher than that of Yue State at that time, but King Fu Chai of Wu was fascinated by the beautiful woman Xi Shi sent by Yue State, and finally ended up with the ruin of the country and the death of his family, drinking a sword... If there is no Xi Shi, maybe it will be destroyed. The state belongs to the Yue state, and Wu Wang Fuchai is very likely to use the strength of the Wu state to conquer the countries in the Central Plains and dominate the world, so that there will be no Qin Shihuang, and the history of China may also be rewritten because of this..."

Su Qian pretended to be well-read history books and talked.

"Beautiful Xi Shi'er? Are you saying that King Wu lost the country because of Xi Shi'er?"

"Is not it?"

Regarding this period of history, Su Qian is still somewhat confident, but when Woods asked such a question, Su Qian's confidence was instantly weakened a lot. After all, this Mr. Woods seemed to know Chinese history very well.

"Fuchai, the king of Wu, misled the country because of a beauty, but that beauty is not Xi Shi..."

"It's not Xi Shi, could it be Zheng Xiu..."

As soon as the words came out of her mouth, Su Qian felt that something was wrong. After thinking about it carefully, it seemed that the person who called Xishi "Huansha Shuangshu" was not Zheng Xiu, but Zheng...Dan...

But I don't know if Woods didn't hear Su Qian's words clearly or he didn't know who Zheng Dan was at all. He ignored Su Qian's wrong words,

"That beauty is not a woman but a man..."

No way, this is where Mr. Woods heard it. Could it be that Shih Tzu has changed into a man when it was spread abroad.Su Qian thought that this rumor must have been spread by some homosexual, and they really worked hard to get their same-sex love recognized by the world.

However, Su Qian didn't know how to make it clear to Woods for a while, so she shrugged and smiled disapprovingly.But Su Qian suddenly found that Woods's pair of empty and lifeless light blue eyes were staring at her closely at this moment, and there seemed to be a trace of unfriendly things flashing past in the eyes...

Could it be that this Mr. Woods is a homosexual, so he decided that Xi Shi is a man, and insisting that Xi Shi is a woman did not tear him down.God, why am I so stupid.Whether Xi Shi is a man or a woman has nothing to do with him. He likes that Xi Shi is a man, so he should be a man, so why make him unhappy.

Su Qian's heart was flustered, and suddenly she saw Woods rushing towards the sword-appreciating crowd. Su Qian was afraid of losing him, so she hurriedly followed and squeezed in together.

Although a large group of people were densely surrounded in front, Su Qian still saw the two swords in the front display window by virtue of her body advantage of being able to see all the small mountains.

The one on the left is the Goujian Sword of the King of Yue. The head of the sword is rolled outwards into a hoop shape, and eleven very small concentric circles are cast inside.The hilt is a cylinder with a silk rope wrapped around it and engraved with three rings.The sword grid protrudes outwards, the front is made of blue glass, the back is made of turquoise to inlay beautiful patterns, and the entire body of the sword is decorated with diamond-shaped dark patterns.It is worthy of being the emperor's sword, the exquisite craftsmanship and meticulous carving are really rare in the world.

Su Qian shifted her eyes to Woods again, and found that he was staring at Wu Wang Fuchamao in the right window without moving. The moment her eyes met King Wu's Fuchamao, Su Qian suddenly felt as if someone had hit her heart hard with a hammer. She glanced at it for a thousand years, as if Su Qian's existence in this life was just for this moment. She was so heartbroken that she couldn't breathe, and tears flowed uncontrollably. Rolling down from the eye sockets...
