Cat Gu Notes

There was an error in the output, and four of the clocks were stolen, and they were shipped to Outer Mongolia when they were discovered. "

At that time, the "Cultural Revolution" was going on, and the matter was so disgraceful that the people in power wanted to hide it, so this national treasure was hidden in the warehouse of the history department of a certain university. In 1969, all the teachers in the history department were basically knocked down.Qian Huzi loves to fight because of his fierceness, and no one can do anything to him, so he was blessed by misfortune and honorably set foot on the post of cleaning toilets and cesspools.

One day after the criticism meeting was over, the two young revolutionaries chatted and said that they slipped up, and Qian Dabeard rushed into the history department at night with a hatchet in his pocket.It turned out that the old man Li Changsheng happened to be watching the gate. The master and apprentice hit it off, working hand in hand, doing their own things during the day, and secretly repairing cultural relics at night.

But the chime bell is a musical instrument after all. It is easy to repair, but it is difficult to restore the original arrangement of the bronze bell. Moreover, this ancient musical instrument is special. According to the different striking parts, a bell can produce two tones.But these two people don't listen to the music, maybe they don't even know the numbered musical notation. When they were worried, they met Xia Xiubai, who was called Xia Dongbiao at the time.

In the middle of the night, they closed the doors and windows of the warehouse tightly. Xia Dongbiao covered the bronze bells under the quilt, and tapped them hundreds of times with a small hammer against their ears. Got four.

"Your father is not simple." Qian Dazi said.

Xia Mingruo said: "That's it, that's it, and I've extorted a lot of money from you, right?"

Qian Huzi slapped his thigh: "If you don't tell me, I'll forget it! Not only did you cheat us of [-] catties of food stamps, but you also tried to trick my girl into becoming your daughter-in-law! Let me tell you, Xia Mingruo," Huzi was filled with righteous indignation, "My girl can't give it to you!" !"

Xia Mingruo cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Master, your girl is exactly like Li Kui, she is capable of carrying a tripod, she is known as Princess Daizhan. Xia Mingruo has been weak and sick since she was a child, so I am afraid she is no match for her. My father overestimated his abilities and overtook her."

The bearded man nodded: "It's good to know."

He said: "I went to Beijing to study in 1955. The teacher cared about minority students and took us to the theater. The first time I saw your father, he was only fourteen or fifteen years old, right? What is your old man doing on stage... "

"Lu Su." Xia Mingruo said.

"Yes, Lu Su," Qian Dahuzi said, "your father just stood behind the side curtain with his hands behind his back and watched. How could I understand Kunxi and Beijing operas, so I patronized him and thought, oh, this Why do people look so spirited...Is it because they fell down later?"

Xia Mingruo said: "It's not just down and out, I almost wiped my neck. Fortunately, a daughter of the working class showed up. The older people in our yard said that it was a fool who saved a beautiful woman."

Xia Xiubai never mentioned these things to anyone. In Xia Mingruo's memory, his father cried once. It was in the summer of 1965 when he learned that Mingruo's grandfather was gone.In fact, the old man went there not long after he entered the cowshed, but the instigator actually kept it from his family for seven years.

After the ashes were found, Xia Xiubai cried a lot. After crying, he searched for wine all over the world, knocked on the bowl with chopsticks and sang "Tears on the Autumn River", until he choked up and couldn't speak.Xia Mingruo said with emotion: "Fortunately, my mother is here. I love my mother, and my mother holds up the sky."

Chu Haiyang just got paid, and said with a smile: "That's a good point, your mother is not allowed to hide at my house when she gets angry, and your father is not allowed to come either."

Xia Mingruo said: "Pfft! If you dare to bully my father, be careful of my mother cutting you."

Big bearded Qian asked: "Hang Hai, are you all ready?"

Chu Haiyang nodded, then shook his head again: "The condition of the camel is not very good, teacher, please come and have a look."

Everyone followed him out, and felt that the animals were very abnormal and restless before they got close to the camel caravan.Chu Haiyang walked towards a camel carrying ice. Its iron paw fell off yesterday, and the soles of its feet were cut bloody by hard and sharp salt-alkali blocks. It was very pitiful.

"It's a crime." The bearded man felt distressed.

Chu Haiyang said: "Today is No. 13 days from Yumen Pass. The camels haven't drunk water yet, and they couldn't find fodder along the way. They only fed a small amount of bean cakes..."

Huzi buried his head and did not speak. The uncle coughed hard and patted the camel: "Listen to me, unload half of the luggage on this one and share it with the other ones. There is no time to delay, pack up and leave as soon as possible."

Beard sighed bitterly.

The uncle said: "Don't dawdle with me! There is a beacon tower to the east of the ancient city of Loulan. Sixty steps east of the beacon tower, there are water veins. If there are water veins, there will be grass. Do you understand?"

Xia Mingruo asked: "How do you know?"

The uncle squinted his eyes: "Hmph!"

Xia Mingruo snapped his fingers: "You must be right, teacher, let's go."

At this time, he heard a few scientific expedition team members shouting and drinking in the distance, Hu Zi felt annoyed, kicked the sand violently, turned around and cursed: "What's wrong?!"

Over there shouted: "Teacher Qian, look at the sky!!"

Hu Zi looked up: "Oh! Why is the sun..."

...red and mushy.

Like a huge red balloon, hanging high above the head.

Everyone was dumbfounded. No one spoke for a long time. During the ten minutes of silence, the red light surged, and the desert was reflected like an endless sea of ​​blood.

Xia Mingruo teased the uncle, but the uncle shook his head: "I don't know either..."

Beard retreated again and again: "It's not right, it's not right..."

"It's not right," Chu Haiyang showed him the thermometer, "It's almost summer."

And the cattle started to get really manic, and no one could hold the bridle.They kicked and twirled restlessly, and finally formed a circle in a tacit understanding, crawling, whining, and never wanting to get up again.

Xia Mingruo threw off the veil and gave his own chest a couple of heavy blows. Seeing others looking at him, he explained: "I can't breathe."

Chu Haiyang also unbuttoned his neckline, frowned and said, "It's strange, it's like a stone is pressing on my chest."

Xia Mingruo took off the military coat by the way: "What's wrong?"

The uncle looked around in a daze, and suddenly saw the two guides who had gone out to find the way early in the morning, tumbling over the sand dunes, scrambling and running towards the camp.He froze, turned around and grabbed Xia Mingruo's wrist.

Xia Mingruo widened his eyes and found that his head was covered with cold sweat.

"Put it back on! Can't take it off!" the uncle growled.

Xia Mingruo said, "Huh?"

The uncle let go of his voice and shouted: "Brothers! The black storm—! The black storm is coming—!"

Everyone's faces changed.

Immediately someone shouted: "Impossible! This is winter! The wind season is in April and May!"

The bearded man jumped up: "It's impossible to let you fart! It's impossible even when the wind is coming!" He said hurriedly, "There is a legend in the Rob people that there is a wind called 'cold ghost wind' in winter, and it is said that it blows every 50 years. Once, scratching the ground for 50 years will not live forever, so the fuck is it not a coaxing doll! Why don’t we just run into each other?”

He unloaded the important supplies from the camel and piled them in the tent, and then shouted at the stupid team members: "Hurry up!"

The crowd just woke up like a dream, and immediately dispersed to strengthen the tents. For a while, the camp was flying like dogs and dogs, you bumped into me and stepped on you, shoes ran away, and there was a lot of noise.

Xia Mingruo got into the tent and came out again, Chu Haiyang shouted: "Master! Don't make trouble at this moment, can you? We all have to build a windbreak!"

Xia Mingruo panicked and said, "Who made the trouble? My cat is gone!"

He rushed out of the tent in a hurry, shouting in all directions: "Old Huang! Old Huang!"

It happened that the uncle in the chaos was also shouting: "Leopard! Leopard!...Don't believe me, have you seen my apprentice?"

"I didn't see it!" Xia Mingruo was so anxious that he broke out in sweat, "And my cat! Where is my cat?"

He searched around twice, put on his leather cap and ran away, followed by the uncle.Xia Mingruo ran too fast, accidentally fell into a big somersault, and ate a mouth full of sand.The uncle pulled him up, gloated at his spitting vigorously, and asked with concern, "Is it delicious?"

"Bah, bah, bah, bah! Bah!" Xia Mingruo wiped his mouth, "Smells like a camel."

The uncle laughed and said, "Let's go, let's speed up, and we can come back before the wind blows."

Xia Mingruo stood still: "Where are we going?"

"Walking around, can you still sit stupidly if you lose something?" The uncle said, "It's okay. According to my experience, there is still a while before the real black storm." He pointed to the nearest sand dune and said, "Go to the top, yesterday I Tell Leopard that it’s an ancient tomb, you know, Leopard always believes nonsense.”

"It coincides with that." Xia Mingruo wrapped his military coat tightly and followed him closely, "I also think that Lao Huang is in this direction. At least I have raised a cat for ten years, and I know the behavior pattern very clearly."

In fact, it is difficult to say such things as behavior patterns. For example, in the camp at this time, Lao Huang was getting out of the cooker Gulim's satchel.

Gulim held Lao Huang by the back of the neck, and exerted all his strength to practice flicking skills on its head: "Ah... Ah Nang is dead! The cat (second sound) is looking for death! I'm like (saying) two carrots The weight is so heavy?! So it’s all because of you!”

Lao Huang endured it calmly, because he is a cat who does great things.

As for the leopard, it didn't go anywhere, but was buried in the sand with the sleeping bag.Ten minutes later, they reunited and returned to Chu Haiyang's surroundings, and the latter realized that the uncle and Xia Mingruo had disappeared.

Compared to the ancient barren desert, such sand dunes are pitifully small, and their height is not worth mentioning, but it is terribly difficult to climb up with human feet.Especially with the strong wind whistling and the yellow sand flowing, the two of them almost fell every step. The uncle simply untied the hemp rope around his waist and tied the two of them together.After 10 minutes, they reached the top of the slope and looked at the Yadan group that was close at hand.

The uncle pointed to the gorge [-] meters away and shouted: "I wanted to camp there last night, but the guides insisted against it."
