reverse travel

This time, Zhang Xiao swallowed the inhibitor in time, and Zhang Xiao didn't have a nosebleed.He rubbed his slightly sore nose, didn't dare to look at Gao Qiong any more, lowered his head, got dressed in a hurry, and ran out.

Gao Qiong said he didn't live up to it, and Zhang Xiao really felt that he didn't live up to it.

He also discovered one thing: he had a very strong reaction to Gao Qiong, but Gao Qiong didn't treat him at all.

Although sentries and guides are dubbed as "special people", except for their outstanding abilities and spiritual bodies, they are the same as ordinary people in other respects.Responsive guides can still bond with non-responsive Sentinels if they wish.But in general, if both partners are elicited a strong response by the other, their union will have a richer and more intense emotional resonance.

But Gao Qiong didn't have it at all.

Zhang Xiao secretly asked Yuan Yiwei, and Yuan Yiwei said that Gao Qiong didn't have a partner, and he hadn't even seen him have any contacts with other guides.At work, because Yuan Yiwei has rich experience, Yuan Yiwei always goes out with him on the field, and because Yuan Yiwei's mental body is not easy to restrain himself, so his sentinel Zhou Sha will also work with them in most cases. Let's go together.

What kind of person will Gao Qiong's partner be?

Zhang Xiao couldn't help but start thinking wildly.

The other party may be male or female, but it should also be an extremely powerful guide.They will bond together, and Gao Qiong or his partner will submit an application to be recognized as his partner.

Zhang Xiao wasn't very sad, just a little sad, like the drizzle in early spring, which couldn't be stopped, but it wasn't intense.He liked Gao Qiong, first he liked his appearance, and then he was triggered by his pheromones—but these didn't seem to make him possessive of Gao Qiong.

After the two disguised themselves, they wrapped their original clothes into a package, and Gao Qiong carried it on his back.

It doesn't take long to walk from Dongjixiang Hutong to Xijixiang Hutong.But as soon as I walked out of the intersection of Dongjixiang Hutong, I immediately felt different: all kinds of people, all kinds of people, bustling, especially lively in this sticky rainy day.

Jixiang Hutong is within the scope of the old imperial city. People in the imperial city are more particular about food, clothing, housing and transportation than those outside.The round and solid child wrapped in a red padded jacket chewed on a steamed bun and looked at the two passing by, while his mother bent over behind him, patted the dirt on his back, and cursed.But after seeing Gao Qiong and Zhang Xiao, the woman immediately blushed and covered her mouth, and fell silent.

Zhang Xiao didn't understand, so he thought she had seen his head, so he quickly pressed his hat and smiled with the woman.

Gao Qiong urged him from the front: "Don't laugh, you heard her swearing, I'm sorry."

The two talked very fast, and the woman didn't quite understand, but they were not from here.She took the child home and closed the courtyard door tightly.

"Look at you, you scared people away." Gao Qiong said to Zhang Xiao.

Zhang Xiao giggled twice.

Tan Qiying's house is easy to find because it is so conspicuous.Just looking at the size of the gate of the house and the imposing manner of the two stone lions in front of the gate, one can tell that it is quite different from others.

Gao Qiong knocked on the door, but no one answered for a long time.The two looked at each other, and Gao Qiong pointed to the wall: "You, climb over the wall and enter."

Zhang Xiao: "...Why don't you turn it over?"

Gao Qiong: "I'll let you out."

Zhang Xiao: "Fuck you."

He scratched his face and turned to look at the height of the wall.

Although I don't know the reason, it seems that Gao Qiong is working hard to liven up the atmosphere.The impact of Ou Qing's incident on Zhang Xiao is still there, but he has already done a good job of psychological construction, and repeatedly told himself "it's work".But it's good to get Gao Qiong's concern, although it's only a little bit, and it's still a little bit in the wrong direction.

Zhang Xiao turned his head and jumped down the steps to find the place to climb over the wall, but saw an old man standing across the road, smoking cigarettes and squinting his eyes, staring at him closely.

Zhang Xiao felt that the old man looked full of stories, so he hurried over to him and asked, "Old man, do you know where everyone in this house has gone?"

"I'm from here." The old man looked Zhang Xiao up and down, "What are you going to do?"

Zhang Xiao wondered if he was going to start making up stories again now?So he hurriedly turned his head to look at Gao Qiong.Gao Qiong had also walked down, and changed his rhetoric in front of the old man: They are the children of Ou Qing's old friend, and they went to Ou Qing's house to visit him today, but Ou Qing was seriously ill, so he told them to come here I found a man named Tan Qiying and said that time was running out and I wanted to meet my friend.

This Tan Qiying was someone Ou Qing never mentioned in his notes.But since Ou Qing was able to hand over the notes to this person for safekeeping, it can be seen that the relationship between the two is very close.Gao Qiong and Zhang Xiao also had a brief discussion on the way here, and they both felt that Ou Qing was protecting Tan Qiying: too many people coveted this notebook, and Tan Qiying kept it for him, so he must not expose Tan Qiying to the general or others. In the handsome eyes.

Because of this, Ou Qing really believed Gao Qiong's words, and believed his words that he would find the treasures outside one by one.

When the old man heard the two ask about Tan Qiying, he hurriedly put away the dry tobacco. "Master has already left." He said, "Master Ou didn't know about this. My master said, don't tell Mr. Ou, and don't tell Mr. Ou where you went."

Both Gao Qiong and Zhang Xiao were taken aback: "Then where is your master now?"

The old man smiled: "It's just to the west, a country of foreigners in the west. What's it called...Daying..."

Gao Qiong was taken aback, and was about to ask again, but Zhang Xiao quietly tugged at the corner of his clothes.

The old man said again: "Master Ou is looking for my master, do you want to see his notes? Jixiang Hutong or something."

Zhang Xiao was also surprised: "Do you know this note?"

"I know." The old man said, "The notes are in my house, but they are incomplete, only half a copy."

The two immediately followed the old man to his house.This old man is an old servant of Tan Qiying's family. Tan Qiying's family has all left, leaving only a few servants to take care of the house.And this old servant was a servant of the Tan family from his grandfather's generation. He was too old to travel long distances, so he stayed to take care of him.

He did have half of "Notes on Auspicious Hutong" in his hand, but it was only the second half of the first volume.

After thanking the old man, the two did not take the notes, but left directly.

Ou Qing's "Notes on Auspicious Hutong" is divided into two volumes. The first half of the first volume is all about his own affairs, while the remaining volume and a half are his records of reselling various cultural relics over the years.

According to the old man, Ou Qing kept the first half of the first volume, but entrusted Tan Qiying to keep the second and a half volumes, and told Tan Qiying to remember to put the notes in the coffin when he was buried.

Ou Qing already expected that his time was short, so he entrusted this most precious manuscript to his best friend, for fear of being snatched away by the coveted warlord and others.Before he died, he finished writing about his life, and waited for Tan Qiying to come to him with the remaining manuscripts, and then put them together and buried them together: but what he didn't expect was that Tan Qiying left quietly and took the notes with him The next volume.

At present, half of the "Auspicious Hutong Notes" owned by the Cultural Management Committee was discovered by Yuan Yiwei by accident when he was visiting the cultural relics market.After he bought the notebook, he went home and studied it, and found that there was a lot of precious information in the notebook, so he immediately handed the notebook over to the library for analysis.Yuan Yiwei and Zhou Sha then went to the cultural relics market to investigate, and finally found that the grandfather of the old book stall owner used to collect corpses in Beijing.

Therefore, Gao Qiong and Zhang Xiao deduced that the first half of the notebook was not buried with Ou Qing.When the body collector came to clean up, he also took away his property, including half of the notebook beside him.Then Tan Qiying's old servant brought back his body for burial, and put the second half of the book in his hand into Ou Qing's coffin.This is the whereabouts of the first volume of notes, while the second volume disappeared with Tan Qiying.

"It can be said that the second volume is the most valuable." Gao Qiong took Zhang Xiao out of Jixiang Hutong quickly, and walked outside, "The first half is about Ou Qing's life experience, and the remaining half is not too much. What Tan Qiying took away was the second volume, which contains too much information and is too important...he went to England, he might sell the manuscript..."

"He definitely didn't go to England." Zhang Xiao said suddenly, "He escaped from here and went to a more chaotic place? Impossible. Either he lied to his old servant, or he instructed his old servant to lie to others. "

Gao Qiong stopped in his tracks: "How do you know?"

"Don't you take history classes?... You really haven't learned Sixiu?" Zhang Xiao was surprised. "The First World War ended in November 1918, and now it's the third stage."

Gao Qiong stared at him for a moment: "I don't know."

Zhang Xiao: "...Where did you go to university? Did you pass the high school exam?"

"I don't understand." Gao Qiong ignored him, "Anyway, let's go back first and report the situation to Ying Changhe. He told us where the old man buried Ou Qing just now, so we'll find out immediately when we go back." .”

"Are we going to dig a grave?"

"It's not us digging." Gao Qiong pulled him to a hidden place, and stretched out Chen Shiyi in his hand, "Quick, adjust, let's go back."

Zhang Xiao hummed a few times, and also took out his own Chen Shiyi.The black ink characters on the dial fell apart again with his gaze, and quickly condensed the words "2017" and the latitude and longitude of the Cultural Management Committee.

Gao Qiong saw that he did it neatly, and the nervous expression on his face relaxed a little.

After the numbers were changed, Zhang Xiao looked up at Gao Qiong: "Is it all right?"

Gao Qiong: "See what I am doing? Go back quickly."

Zhang Xiao: "...So, how do you answer?"

Gao Qiong: "???"

Chen Shiyi, who had been standing still for a while, moved again.The ink characters are scattered and gathered together, it is still 1918.03.16.

Gao Qiong was silent for a moment: "Zhang Xiao, how did you activate Chen Shiyi?"

Zhang Xiao thought for a while: "I am very curious about this latitude and longitude. I don't know what you are doing in the field. I want to follow along to see...then I came here."

Gao Qiong closed his eyes, and asked him after a while: "So you don't want to go back now, do you?"

Zhang Xiao rolled his eyes, swallowed, and tried to make some noises to relieve the quiet embarrassment.
