This sentence was only a few words, but it attracted all my thoughts.

"The fish is here with me"

What fish? My mind was agitated. Could it be a Snake-browed Bronze Fish?

Judging from the patterns on the ancient tomb stones, this strange decorative fish should be three connected end to end. Now I have two in my hand, and there should indeed be another one to match these. Who is this person? Since he has this photo and knows about the fish, could it be related to this matter?

Could it be one of the missing people?

I flipped through the page carefully. There was no signature or contact information. But looking at the time, the information had been on it for a very long time. This was a bit strange. Since I was searching for a person and I didn’t leave my contact information, it was not in vain. ?

I searched in various ways, hoping to find more information, but there was only one article related to this.

I can't help but feel frustrated, but this is already a big discovery. I was thinking in my mind that when I go back, I will find some computer experts to help me analyze it, and maybe I can find some clues.

Just like this, the damn storm finally passed. The next day after the storm passed, Qiongshalun came from Qinglan Port in Wenchang. Seeing that we were here to stay, we packed up and prepared to go back. Before we left, we went to the military medical clinic to look for Aning, but she had disappeared. When we asked the doctor, he didn’t know when Aning left. I couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. I didn’t know what to do with her in the first place. , she played into my heart by leaving without saying goodbye.

It's just that I may never know the secret behind her. But now I lack everything except mysteries. I estimate that I may never see her again in the future, and I have no interest in knowing what is going on in her heart.

Two days later, at Haikou Airport, I said goodbye to Meng Youping and Fatty, and boarded a plane to Hangzhou. Four hours later, I returned home to Hangzhou. I first called Wang Meng and asked about the shop. The situation here, except that there is no business, everything is normal. In fact, no business is part of the normal. It would be strange if there is business. Then I called the third aunt, the sixth mother-in-law, the seventh uncle, and any relatives who have contact with the third uncle. I asked them all, but to no avail. I finally called my third uncle’s house, and one of his guys answered the phone. I asked him, “Has Mr. Wu come back?”

The guy hesitated for a moment and said, "Third Master has never come back, but there is a weirdo who says he is your brother and insists that we tell him where you are. I don't know where he comes from, but I can see how cunning he is. It doesn’t look like a good thing, so I sent it to you. He left a phone number before he left, why don’t you come over and have a look?”

I thought for a moment,

Ask him: "How old is that man?"

"I can't tell. He's probably about the same age as you, a little older than you. He has a short cut, triangular eyes, a high nose, a pair of glasses, and an earring. He looks nondescript."

"Neither fish nor fowl?" I repeated these words, and suddenly I had a flash of inspiration and asked the guy, "Isn't that person not speaking fluently?"

"Yes, yes, yes... damn, that guy had to stutter a dozen times before finishing a sentence, and he almost choked me to death.

I knew who it was as soon as I heard it, and I was overjoyed. I quickly asked for the phone number and called it. A familiar yet unfamiliar voice came from the phone, "Who - who - who? (stammering)"

I laughed and shouted: "**You are a naughty egg, can't you even hear my voice?"

He was stunned for a moment, made a few excited sounds, and shouted: "You--your daughter is my daughter's egg. I haven't heard you speak for three-three-three years. Of course I can't hear you." , look at your voice, it’s really developed.”

I couldn't help but feel sour in my heart. The person on the other side of the phone was Lao Itchi. I have forgotten his real name. He and I grew up wearing the same pants and did everything together. For a while, we were almost like the same person. In his family He was relatively poor and couldn't find a job after graduating from technical secondary school, so he came to work in my shop. As a result, the two of them had similar personalities and ran the business haphazardly. Not to mention that he was a bad-mouthed person and was particularly good at flirting with people. When he was here, the business of my shop was pretty good. Unexpectedly, three years ago, this kid didn't learn how to do well and followed an old cousin from Jiangxi to the Qinling Mountains to play back and forth. As a result, he was caught and the old cousin was directly sentenced to life imprisonment. , he used his mouth to talk and talk, pretending to be a good young man who was deceived by the bad forces in society, and ended up getting three years in prison. At first, I wanted to see him, but I didn't expect that this guy wanted to save face and refused to see me. Later, I was too lazy to pay attention to him and just cut off contact. Unexpectedly, this kid was released from prison.

Speaking of his ability to fight upside down, I also have a lot to do with it. I have been bragging in front of him since he was a child about how powerful my grandpa is, and I also showed off to him with my tomb robbing notes. I guess he started to use the trick of fighting upside down at that time. Think about it, this kid is very brave. When I was a kid, I gave him an idea and got him into trouble, but I didn't expect that he actually took action.

He and I have been talking for three years, and once we start talking, we can’t shut it down! He kept talking until his mouth cramped and it still wasn't enough, so he called him over and said, "Are you okay tonight? Brother, I'll pick up the wind for you. Let's go have a massage and drink until it hurts."

Lao Itch was also getting excited and replied: "That - that's a good relationship. I haven't eaten a big piece of meat in three years. I want to enjoy it this time!"

The matter was decided like this, and I was too excited to sleep. I took a shower randomly, tidied up the house, and then went to the agreed hotel to wait for the guy. I ordered all the meaty dishes on the menu. In the evening, the boy came. When I saw it, I thought, Oh, this boy is not normal. He has been in prison for three years and has gained weight. His face is swollen like a pig's head.

When we two old friends met, we drank half a bottle of Wuliangye without saying a word. We recalled our past lives and looked at our current situation. We couldn't help but sigh. We drank until we were full and the plates on the table were turned upside down, then we realized that they were already there. There's so much to say.

I drank too much at that time, so I burped and asked him: "Tell me the truth, what the hell did you drink back then? Your old cousin from Jiangxi actually got a prison sentence."

He actually showed a proud look on his face, gritted his teeth and said, "No - it's because I didn't tell you. Even if I told you, you wouldn't understand."

I yelled: "Pull me down. I am not the young boy I was three years ago. Let me tell you, I am quite famous now. During the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, as long as you can tell me the shape, I will know what it is." thing."

Lao Itch looked at my seriousness and laughed: "Just - you are like a bear, you are still in the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties!" As he said that, he dipped his chopsticks in wine and drew something on the table, " He-he-fuck, have you seen this thing?”

I was so drunk that I couldn't see clearly after a few glances. I just felt like a tree or a pillar. I cursed: "You donkey egg, you have been squatting in the brothel for three years and you haven't made any progress in painting. You paint What’s the name of this? It’s a whole stick!”

Lao Itch himself felt that the painting didn't look like it, so he said: "You - you - just live to see it! With that - that look in your eyes, you are only qualified to see this kind of painting!"

I looked at it carefully again, but I really couldn't come up with a very confident conclusion, so I said to him: "This thing seems to be a flowing cloud pillar. Look at these branches. Do you mean the pattern? It looks like a tree." It looks like a cross, I can’t see it!”

Lao Itch lowered his voice and said to me mysteriously: "Don't-don't tell me, this is the fork of the tree, and the thing I poured is a tree, but it's not a real tree, it's a bronze tree! Have you seen it? ?”

I was so heavy-headed that I knew I was going to die, and I couldn’t figure out what the bronze tree looked like, so I asked him: “How heavy is this thing? If your small thing doesn’t fall, how can it fall like a big thing that is loved by you?” Arrested?"

He patted my shoulder, peeled off a prawn fried with green onions, threw it into his mouth and said, "How could I be so stupid? I - I just brought four pottery - pottery plates, and - two more When the piece of jade came out, it was my old cousin who insisted on moving the bronze tree, saying it was a treasure! Damn it, the two of us exhausted all our strength to find out that this tree grew up in the ground. We went down to create it. , you can’t even see the bottom of the tree at seven or eight meters, don’t you think it’s strange? I don’t know how deep the tree is inserted into the ground! I guess this thing is not simple, there must be some purpose for inserting it there.”

I got the general idea from what I heard, so I asked him: “Since you didn’t move out, how did you get caught?

He said: "My old cousin has been nervous ever since he saw that thing. After we left the Qinling Mountains, we wanted to find a place to sell our dirty goods. Unexpectedly, when he saw people, he said that Qinling Mountains has been a place for tomb robbers since ancient times. It was a bitter battle, and the news was very tight. I didn't sell a single plate, so I handed it over to the police! The bucket we sold was from the Qing Dynasty, and it was not worth anything, so I just said "I was cheated". I reluctantly got a three-year sentence. My old cousin was only four or five years old, but he went crazy and revealed all his past fights, so he was sentenced to one term and almost died."

I said "Oh" and said: "Then you really got it home. You have been working so hard for so long and you haven't got anything. How many times have I told you, don't sell it on the spot. You are doing business in the outside world. You have to do business with the local people." When someone commits a crime, this is called retribution in this world."

Lao Itch smiled mysteriously and said: "I - I didn't catch anything - I did, look at this thing - Ding?" He pointed at his earrings!
