In a restaurant in the county town, Fatty, Da Jinya and I ordered a table of dishes and were drinking!

This guy is quite interesting. He brought us several sets of clothes, including a general's hat, a military satchel, and rebound shoes. He also brought us a few tools that are useful for bucket fighting: two flashlights, a few

Cut dry batteries and two military spurs for self-defense.

These are all good things! Especially those two military spurs. I don’t know where Jin Daya got them. You know, when we were fighting in Beijing, everyone was still holding bicycle locks. As for kitchen knives, I just got better ones.

A Finnish dagger. If these guys had been around in the last fight, how could we have narrowly escaped death?

"It turns out that your fight was so exciting this time, you even met the white-haired rice dumplings!" Da Jinya's eyes widened after hearing the fat man's embellished description.

"How about you take me with you next time? Let's go and open our eyes too. If we have any visible weapons or something, we can also check things out for our brothers!" Big Jinya said eagerly, his eyes still glowing green.

"Come on, you!" I waved my hand and flatly rejected him. "You have such a strong body and congenital asthma, and you still fight upside down? If you don't fold it inside, your old man won't tear us apart!

"

Da Jinya's expression dimmed, he picked up the cup and drank it up to the sky in one sip. I was stunned when I saw it, my dear, this is over 60 degrees Celsius! This guy has a lot of food!

The fat man on the other hand obviously didn't have the capacity for Big Jinya. After two or three cups of yellow soup, he couldn't speak properly. He pulled the depressed Da Jinya and started to talk about his heroic deeds, describing in detail how he made the big rice dumpling.

As he kicked his feet down the ravine, he was struggling fiercely in his heart to remember the teachings of the great leader **... Of course, even after drinking to this extent, he didn't even mention that he was shaking like chaff.

As soon as I heard this, I was puzzled. This is still our fat guy. At first glance, I thought it was Dong Cunrui who was back again, so I barely had to carry a bag.

Jin Daya on the side was very excited and attentive. He probably felt thirsty, so the fat man grabbed the cup on the table and drank it. With a "pop" sound, the whole thing came out again, and he choked...

"Hey, take it easy, buddy!" Jin Daya stepped forward and patted the fat man's back to help him calm down. It took a while for the fat man to regain his composure.

At this time, Jin Daya also started to think about it and asked: "Taozi, what's going on with that tomb? According to Fatty, it's right next to the ditch. How could anyone put the tomb in that kind of place?"

The fat man on the side also regained his temper and expressed his opinion: "The feng shui is good there, but look at that ditch, it's just like a dirt dragon!"

"Good Feng Shui?" I sneered, "Although we don't know much about Feng Shui, we also know that the place with water is the best, and the place that hides the wind is the second best. There is no water or wind in that area, let alone it is a dangerous hole.

You're too polite! Do you still have good Feng Shui? Fatty, if you don't understand, then stop talking nonsense!"

"I don't understand, do you understand? You should tell me why it placed the tomb on the edge of the ditch!" The old fat man blushed and said unconvinced.

"You are just ignorant. 8,900 years ago, there is no telling whether there would have been a ditch when the big rice dumplings were buried!"

Da Jinya was much more alert, and said with enlightenment: "You mean, that ditch was formed later?"

"Well, there have been many earthquakes in Shaanxi since ancient times. The earthquake with the highest death toll in the world occurred in Shaanxi. About 400 years ago, more than 800,000 people died. Also, in northern Shaanxi, there was also a big earthquake in Xixia.

The earthquake caused heavy casualties! Those party members were still in uprising at that time!" When I saw the location of the tomb, I started to think about it. It was probably cracked by the earthquake later. Fortunately, the tomb was right next to the ditch.

, otherwise Fatty and I will probably both have to explain it!

"By the way, Jin Daya, why did you come here so quickly? I guess you won't arrive for at least another week or two!"

"There's a storm in Beijing, and there will be a massive raid soon."

"You want a big copy? What does that have to do with you?" I was puzzled. Although Da Jinya is also a player, he is not a brave and ruthless person. Why is he running away?

"This..." Da Jinya said coquettishly, "Many Buddhas in Sijiu City have been arrested. Aren't you afraid that they will pull me out? It just so happened that I also wanted to learn some crafts, so my old man asked me to go to Hainan.

I should avoid it and learn from him!"

When I heard this, I was very happy and said: "Big Jinya, you are doing well, you have raised a Buddha!"

"No way! We are just buying some antiques and stuff from them!" Da Jinya quickly denied!

"Acquisition? Just pretend! I think you're paying them to help you get it out, right?"

Da Jinya smiled and said nothing, acquiescing.

…

After having enough wine and food, we got down to business.

"Taozi, what should I do with the two bright weapons?" Da Jinya asked cautiously.

"You can just take it, what else can you do?"

"What about this money?"

"Just keep some for a while! From now on, you can come over to see us two brothers every few months, and take away the newly discovered weapons. You can sell them! When we return to Beijing in a few years, we will

Let’s do the math again and it will be divided equally between the three of us!”

Da Jinya was very moved when he heard this, and said excitedly: "Since you can trust me, brother, let's do this and make a fortune together!"

I felt uneasy after hearing what he said, so I quickly warned him again: "Old Jin, if you get rich, you will get rich, and we can't do anything treasonous! Things from before the Han Dynasty are all national treasures. You have to agree to this.

I am absolutely not allowed to sell food abroad!"

Da Jinya was not happy to hear what I said, and said angrily: "Taozi, who do you think my brother is? I was also from Sanye back then. I even lost my legs for the country. How can we do such traitorous things! Not only do we not

The national treasure was sold for takeout, and from now on I learned a craft and specialized in making fake goods and selling them to foreigners!"

"Okay, just your words will do! Drink!"

The three of us ate side dishes and drank until dark. That night, we stayed overnight in a small hotel in the county town.

The next day, Jin Daya left us 500 yuan and left northern Shaanxi alone, heading directly to Hainan Island. When he was young, he was also a hand-fighting craftsman, and later he became a soldier and carried a gun.

In North Korea, his legs were frozen and became disabled. Because of the climate, he stayed in Hainan Island and did not live in Beijing. Later, I heard Da Jinya talk about it. It was during this time that he told him

I learned the art of counterfeiting, and later on, more than half of the fakes in the Panjiayuan Antique Market were made by him.

After Da Jinya came back from Hainan, he was arranged to join the queue in Yunnan. A few months later, he returned to the capital and became a serious antique dealer.

It flowed out of his hand.

After Big Jinya left, Fatty and I lived happily for a while with the 500 yuan he left. In addition to buying some food for the village, the two of us smoked Chinese cigarettes and drank Xifeng wine, living a small life.

I don't know how comfortable I am.

When I ran out of money, I would fight again and again, and throw all my weapons to Jin Daya. This kind of comfortable and exciting life lasted like this for a year.

…

In a hazy state, Fatty and I entered 1969 - this crucial year for us. Later, when Fatty and I recalled that period, we were not very sad.

In this year, our experience in reverse fighting has been rapidly accumulated, our technology has become increasingly mature, and we have achieved remarkable results. Our life is going smoothly, and even the villagers of Liushu Village no longer have to worry about food.

In this year, we established a business cooperation with Jin Daya, which lasted until we quit the back-and-forth business and remained solid and unbreakable.

In this year, Fatty separated from me for the first time in his life, and we have been away for more than ten years...

At the end of 1969, the severe crackdown mentioned by Da Jinya finally began. At that time, everyone in Beijing was in danger and the atmosphere was tense. At the same time, there were also people who were elated and rejoiced because the central government had liberated another group of people.

Veteran cadres. Among them, there is Fatty and his father.

As soon as the historical issue became clear, Fatty immediately took off the label of "children who can educate well". In the same year, through his father's relationship, he left northern Shaanxi through the back door as a soldier.

Fatty and I had red eyes when we said goodbye! Fatty kept saying that he was sorry for me and that it would be disrespectful to leave like this. I said that this was your father's wish, not that you wanted to leave. Once we are buddies, we will always be buddies.

, when you come back from demobilization, we will conquer the world together.

Just wiping his eyes, he put the fat man on the train bound for the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, where his division was stationed! Who knew that such a separation would last more than ten years...

After the fat man left, I stayed in Liushu Village for another two years. In those two years, with the help of the children in the village, I poured a few more buckets and brought out a few apprentices - they were the first batch of "

"Corporal Nanzhangmen" is the captain of Mojin. This is probably my only gain in this period of time!

The days passed by as peacefully as water, until exactly two years after Fatty left, I suddenly thought that it was time to try a different way of life, and do something that I had never done before, or even thought about.

This thought came unexpectedly, but it scratched my heart all the time.

In this case, I happened to see a notice posted in the county town. It said that the archaeological team is looking for young and strong experts with rich practical experience to engage in archaeological excavations. They will be famous in Shaanxi Province and even in the country.

The archaeological authority Professor Chen Guangfu and Chen went to the Mu Us Desert to conduct archaeological research together.

When I saw this notice, my heart became excited. I have been engaged in archaeology for generations. Was there such a profession before? Aren't they just the craftsmen of Zhengduo Dou? However, they who are officials will say that if the gold captain touches their mouth, it will be done.

Become engaged in archaeological excavations for generations...

Going to the Mu Us Desert for archeology was something I had never experienced or thought about. I was agitated at the time. Didn’t this meet my requirements? There was nothing to hesitate. I immediately followed the address marked on the notice.

Found Professor Chen.

After a heart-to-heart talk, he expressed his affirmation of my professionalism and made a decision on the spot. We will go into the Mu Us Desert with him for archeology next month. It is not surprising that the archaeological team seeks cooperation with tomb robbers. After liberation, domestic The archeology industry in China is underdeveloped, and problems that cannot be solved are often encountered during the archaeological process. At this time, tomb robbers with rich practical experience can play a big role. As far as I know, among the archaeologists in early my country, Many Changsha “local masters” have washed their hands.

I showed off, and after being appreciated by Professor Chen, I asked the questions in my mind. Although everyone in the industry knew that there were many tomb robbers in this archaeological team, we have always adhered to the Chinese saying "I would rather be known than be known."

According to the tradition of "being seen by others," even when recruiting people, it is mostly through secret channels and not so blatantly.

Professor Chen then told me the origin of this archeology and the reason for doing so. It turned out that a few days ago, a batch of bronzes from the Shang and Zhou dynasties suddenly appeared on the market in northern Shaanxi, including bronze knives, bronze rings and other objects.

With a history of nearly 4,000 years, these are all national treasures! According to later investigations, it was revealed that they came from the hands of a villager on the edge of the Mu Us Desert. He claimed that he was swept away by the strong wind and was already 100 meters away from where he was when he landed.

Many kilometers away, these bronzes were found there.

Archeology was not developed in northern Shaanxi at that time. Although Professor Chen was an archaeological expert who had returned from studying abroad, he was unable to support himself alone. Apart from him, there was no one knowledgeable in the entire archaeological team. Moreover, in the desert, a strong wind could kill someone.

The ruins were covered so tightly that, given the conditions of the archaeological team at that time, it was impossible to excavate them on a large scale. So we had to contact the craftsmen who worked for us to salvage as many cultural relics as possible using gold-touching techniques.

After I figured out the matter, I became even more interested. I went deep into the desert and fought upside down on the sand. I felt excited no matter how I thought about it.
