The mountains and forests in the morning are desolate.

Nature has a magical principle: in the night, the crackling of tree roots and grass stems can be heard, but in the daytime, it cannot be heard.During the day, there are many voices that can be heard, but they are too noisy to be able to distinguish what they are.

And in the early morning, there are naturally early morning specialties: first, the big rooster with the red crown and golden plumage crows towards the east, calling out a duck egg yolk; The invincible big white goose is old, but strong and cheap, flapping its wings, the chicks and ducklings obediently stand aside.

Zou Shengzu praised the big white goose greatly, saying that this is the emperor's demeanor.As if responding, the big white goose spread its wings and held its head high.

I couldn't help kicking it when I saw how it looked like a puppet, and said, "Return to the emperor's dignity, even if the emperor is a puppet in Xinjing, it's not something that just a brute can run on top and pee on."

Zou Shengzu said: "You've already said you're a beast, what do you want to see with a beast?"

I was too lazy to talk to him, so I squatted at the door and drank the porridge in a daze.Zou Shengzu stuffed a bench under his buttocks, he drank gently and ate a salted goose egg.Because of that compliment, the big white goose circled around him, and he put the empty goose eggs in front of it neatly, as if making an offering, and said, "Your son is empty, it has entered my stomach."

Sven scum!Disgraceful!

I cursed in my heart, filling my stomach whole.The sky was bright and clear, but cold.Zou Shengzu took out his pocket watch to check the time. After drinking the porridge, he reminded me, "It's time to take the medicine. It took a lot of effort to get it. Don't forget it."

I stood up, swallowed the pills, and took a scoop of water from the water tank, still feeling cold.Peng Darui shook out the quilt and wrapped it up for me. He didn't bring any more weird herbs, or he couldn't do anything about my lung disease.

I looked at the gold chain on Zou Shengzu's pocket watch, and said in good faith: "I heard from my wife, where do the Japanese take gold and silver? Your gold chain has not been confiscated?"

"This is left by my father, you have to think about it! I don't want to dig it out under the noses of the Japanese."

"It's really strange. In the past, Japan harvested grain, cotton, and hemp seeds, and now it starts to harvest metals. Could it be that they are processing guns? But there are no guns made of gold, and they are moved Do not move."

Zou Shengzu said: "You are not in charge of the family, you don't know the price of firewood, rice, oil and salt. How many times has the price of goods in the Northeast increased since the establishment of Manchukuo? In recent years, poor families have lined up to die. They are starving to death!" In order to regulate the economy, Japan searched for gold, silver and copper to mint money, but a few cents went into the pockets of ordinary people’s clothes.”

I squinted at him: "Then your business is not doing well? And the gold bars in your bank safe are still there?"

Zou Shengzu was happy, and there was a bit of bitterness in his brows in his free and easy way: "You go around and draw the road for me, and you are waiting for me here."

I said awkwardly: "You just treat me like a fool, and don't say anything about difficulties. If my wife doesn't know the general situation, I guess I still need to use your money."

Zou Shengzu wanted to touch cigarettes again, and his smoking frequency was much higher than before: "Isn't money just for use, and if it is used for you and the little ones, it's also a way to keep the fat and water away from others and not leave regrets."

But I still can't get enough energy, wishing that if I really got the treasure, I would give half of it to him.

Eat and drink enough, and the middle of the day, like a pan.After Peng Darui carried water, cleaned, fed the chickens and ducks, he was free to take care of me and Zou Shengzu.

I was still wrapped in a quilt, and I was reluctant to take it off. When Peng Darui sat beside him, he turned left and right in the quilt, took out his hand, and passed it forward, saying: "My lord, I don't believe anyone, but I can trust you. Come here." Look, how many years do I have to live?"

But Zou Shengzu snatched him away: "What are you talking about, hurry up and get down to business, finish early and be quick."

"Hey, you can take care of my illness..."

"If you don't talk like you, how can you curse yourself? In a few years, I'm older than you, and I will walk ahead of you sooner or later. You are full, what are you talking about?"

Peng Darui didn't participate in the quarrel between us, he grabbed my arm, put his hand on the pulse gate, his eyebrows were knotted, and said for a long time: "If this goes on like this, it won't be a few years."

I was angry and funny, this guy has always been upright, he doesn't know how to be euphemistic, and his words don't quite conform to the agreed combination.But what he said is true, and since that’s the case, my heart has settled down instead, I just feel that the time is too long, there are so many unfinished things to be done, it’s impossible to die, I need to focus on it wholeheartedly, and solve it beautifully , It is not in vain to live for decades, and it can be regarded as doing something meaningful.

Zou Shengzu was not happy, he pursed his lips and took out another cigarette.I pushed the cigarette back with his hand and said, "Stop smoking, I'm choking and my head hurts."

Zou Shengzu really stopped smoking.Xiao Huang slid over and stuck out his big head to be touched.Zou Shengzu was in a bad mood, so he pretended to be deaf and blind, completely ignoring that big lump of bright yellow stripes.Xiao Huang has a good temper, and he can't help but feel disappointed. I couldn't laugh or cry, patted the top of its flat head, turned to Peng Darui and said, "Are you done?"

Peng Darui said, "I still need to grind the flour."

I laughed and said, "Grinding noodles takes too much effort. Don't grind them today. I see you have a lot of corn. Let's eat corn at noon."

Peng Darui said briskly, "That's fine."

I think he is already impatient with grinding flour, chopping wood, and cleaning day after day. He is just alone, and no one of his kind chats with him in a language that each other can understand to relieve loneliness. He has nothing to do except work. can do.Today I made a suggestion for him to break the rules. He is fresh and excited, and he may have wanted to do this a long time ago. It is only because he lacks an opportunity that he deserves to be so refreshing.

He'd still like us to come.

I carried Xiao Huang's head on my arm, and instead of getting straight to the point, I turned a corner and said, "Hey, by the way, what about that snail that day, it's been so long, it's strange to see it.

As soon as Xiao Huang heard the word "胐胐", he almost ran into the grass with his tail between his legs.Xiao Huang's long and fat body was wrapped around the tree trunk, Xinzi was exposed, and the two bifurcated little boys were trembling.

Xiao Huang's behavior is quite interesting, only to hear Peng Darui say: "Canci sleeps during the day and stays active at night. You can see him at night."

I pointed at the tree: "Didn't it mean that Tin Tin has an amiable temperament, why did we scare Xiao Huang like this just by mentioning his name?"

Peng Darui seemed to laugh, and the buzzing voice became much clearer: "He was overthinking himself, and wanted to hunt Cannon for dinner, but was bitten by Cannic on the belly, and it didn't take long, and there were still teeth marks under the belly Woolen cloth."

I raised my head and scolded with a smile: "You say you are stupid, are you stupid? You can catch some voles and eat them. If you have to try something new, you will have a long memory."

Zou Shengzu was gloomy, which made me happy physically and mentally.He didn't know what to ask, but he couldn't open his mouth when he wanted to ask. Thinking that he would see him in the evening, he didn't bother to explain to him, so he continued to attack Peng Darui: "After I went back, I also checked some books and found out Something interesting."

Peng Darui remained silent, Zou Shengzu couldn't help but asked, "What book are you looking for?"

I said: "Fairies and ghosts, anecdotes and strange things. The cassia we just talked about is exactly the gods recorded in the "Shan Hai Jing". The appearance of ancient gods shows that the myth is not groundless. In my opinion, the "Shan Hai Jing" is right. The measurement of the land is well-organized, but it is more like a geography book."

Zou Shengzu was surprised and said: "The things recorded in the "Shan Hai Jing" are really true in this world? If it is true, then Fei Yi and Ba Snake... might also be born into chaos!"

I said: "Maybe the Japanese have already got this information, but the direction of their research makes me unclear about one thing."

After saying that, I stared straight at Peng Darui, trying to see some waves on his weedy face.

He finally lived up to my expectations. This time, his face showed a serious expression, his head was tilted to me, and he was in a listening posture.

I continued: "They are studying the subject of male fertility, and they seem to know about the existence of dragons. According to my guess, this research began decades ago."

Zou Shengzu was taken aback, and recalled what I had inferred about the relationship between his father and my Ama. Although he didn't say much, he couldn't help showing embarrassment, and he temporarily accepted my guess.

Peng Darui said: "What did you find out in the book?"

He was willing to let go, which cheered me up. I didn’t need to wrap the quilt anymore. I just hung it loosely on my back, clasped my hands and put them on my knees. My body naturally leaned towards Peng Darui, and said in a correct tone: "Gun belly Sheng Yu."

Zou Shengzu immediately raised the banner of opposition: "This statement is biased. It is recorded in "Wuyue Chunqiu" that Gun married the daughter of the Youxin family, and in "Yishi" there is a saying that "Yu was born by swallowing pearls". How can it be concluded that Gun gave birth to Yu!"

Zou Shengzu's robbing is simply inexplicable, he always agrees with me, and even if he opposes, he discusses it, and there is no time when his tone is so strong, it is unprecedented.

I replied: ""Shan Hai Jing" contained 'Gun's belly gave birth to Yu', and also quoted in <Gui Zang·Kai Di>'Gun died at the age of three, and he was dissected with a Wu knife and turned into a yellow dragon', in <Tianwen> There is also the question of "Bo Yu's belly gun, why did the husband change?" In Qu Yuan's time, the concept that Dayu was born by his father must have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people!"

Zou Shengzu and I fought with each other, and neither of us could convince the other.Suddenly Peng Darui said: "The reason why the dragon family is called 'Dragon' is that the ancient ancestors were said to be dragons. However, for nearly a thousand years, dragons have only been used as a symbol of auspiciousness, and have gradually become legends and conjectures. I am not sure whether it is true or not."

Zou Shengzu smiled "ha", and said to me: "Then you are even more wrong. You take the "Shan Hai Jing" as your standard, and the "Shan Hai Jing" clearly says, 'Yellow Emperor gave birth to Luo Ming, and Luo Ming gave birth to a white horse. , the white horse is for Gun', Gun is a horse, what kind of dragon is there?"

"<Zhou Li> said, 'A horse above eight feet is a dragon'. In ancient times, horses and dragons were the same thing. Moreover, <Gui Zang·Kai Di> said that after Gun died, he turned into a yellow dragon, and the son he gave birth to was a horned dragon. Where is the horse?"

Zou Shengzu's arrogance was suppressed by Lao Tzu, and he said in a low voice: "So what, besides giving birth to children, you don't have any dragon horns or tails. What are the Japanese doing to study you?"

I shook my head and said, "I don't know, maybe the Japanese think there is something special about people like us."

Peng Darui said: "You don't need to test me, I don't know more about it than you."

My eyes sparkled and I said, "Then what do you know?"

Peng Darui was silent for a moment, then said: "I am your guardian, and I take protecting you as the first criterion."

I said impatiently: "Are you fucking messing around with me again, my guardian? How many times have I broken through the gates of hell, and I haven't seen you save me!"

Peng Darui said: "Guarding is not protection. I am also a mausoleum guard to ensure that you will be buried in the mausoleum after a hundred years."

"I dare you to write a note on daily life!" I laughed impatiently, wishing I could chop two knives on the flesh of the hob, "Who knows whether you are guarding a cemetery or a treasure, and the treasure is hidden underground, and Japan is coveting it." Ruler, it’s better to tell me early and use it where it should be used than to make it cheaper for those bastards!”

Peng Darui said neither humble nor overbearing: "My kindness has an order, I am not allowed to tell you about the Dragon Clan. Since you didn't know it from me, I am not violating my kindness and your father's entrustment, so what I know is no more than yours." How much. You don’t have to worry about the treasure, it’s something that no one can take away—it’s useless if you take it away.”

I was overjoyed at first, and then horrified. I was overjoyed because I opened his mouth, and I was overjoyed because the treasure was really not gold, silver and jewelry.If it is gold, silver and jewelry, the problem will be solved easily. Money is not a bitch. I have not contacted my superiors for a long time. This is not a good sign. If I don't know about the transfer, there will be a lot of trouble in the future.But if you offer gold and silver at this time, you can directly stop their restless hearts and unkind mouths.

Peng Darui thought about it for a while, and then said: "As for the matter of the Dragon Clan, your lord knows it very well, and if you can leave a word, you can't say for sure."

My eyes lit up!

When Ama passed away, I was just fifteen years old and still studying. Uncle Liu was taking care of all the family affairs.During the filial piety period, he went to Japan to study at Tokyo's No. [-] Higher School. Three years later, he gave up the opportunity to go straight to Tokyo Imperial University. He returned to China and married his wife.After the death of Marshal Zhang, in order to avoid the limelight, I went to Germany to study in a military academy. At that time, Yicheng was not yet one year old. Three years later, after returning to China, Japan sent people to contact me frequently, and my father-in-law also revealed that "the emperor also favors Japan." ", so after the establishment of Manchukuo, I successfully served as the chief of the police station.

In these years, I have not touched any of my Ama's things, and it is easy to find them.It's a pity that Uncle Liu doesn't know where he is. Given how well he knows the Dongling old house, I'm afraid that my Ama's private things will be sure to find one!

Yes, I actually forgot that Uncle Liu is the banner slave that my Ama trusts and treats with all his heart, so he must still know something!

The sun was already past noon, and I didn't feel it when I was talking, but after thinking about it, my stomach was full of empty plans.I was about to send Peng Darui to light a fire to cook, when suddenly there was the sound of chaotic footsteps in the silent depths of the forest.The sound of footsteps is crisp, and I am very familiar with it. It is the sound of military boots stepping on the dry and hard soil!

Zou Shengzu also became nervous, turned around and picked up a strip to sweep the pimples, if it wasn't for the wrong time, I almost laughed out loud.

Only Peng Darui said without changing his face: "Recently too many people have entered the mountain, I set up a formation at the gate, they can't see us."

The author has something to say: the brain hole is about to become a black hole [embarrassed face]

This time I ate well, everyone~>3
