Where do tomb robbers meet in their lives?

I snatched my little brother’s jade cup and stared at the crack distressedly in my hand. I really hoped to see it gone, and then I thought: “Mama Zhang, this is jade. If you’re not from my family, you can’t deal with it like that. Returning 502 glue, who the hell came up with such a bad idea? Use glue to stick jade objects!”

After I continued to ask, the little brother told the whole story.It seems that when he just woke up, he was in a remote mountain village.I don't have anything around me, only this jade article.Fortunately, the jade did not look particularly exquisite, and the person who found it regarded it as a carved stone and did not take it away from him.After he cleaned the stone himself, he realized that it was a piece of jade, and it was decorated with two gold rings.At that time, he had no memory of his life experience, didn't know the origin of this thing, and now he felt hungry, and he might not be able to get out of the virgin forest without eating something, so he broke open a piece of jade and took off the golden ring to exchange with a passing hunter. to eat.

He felt that this piece of jade might be related to his own life experience, so he kept it with him and never discarded it, but it was inconvenient to have no place to place the pieces.Later, when he went to the city, he saw that someone used a kind of glue to glue the soles of the shoes, and the leftovers were thrown into the trash can, so he...

I resisted the urge to give him a chestnut.

Ancestors of the Liang family, is the Zhang family you entrusted to you really reliable?

I meditated a hundred times that jade is something outside of my body, and I gave my little brother a hard look: "You have to take good care of this thing, in case you lose it again. Those grandparents in my family have all died in vain." I pressed my hand on my little brother shoulder, said with great pain: "Comrade Zhang Qiling, no matter how much I complain about you for the broken jade, it's useless and I can't recover, but you have to remember, remember deeply, you owe me and our Liang family a lot Great favor, let’s not talk about it, let’s talk about my Liang Jincheng, who spent a lot of money to buy blueprints to dig your ancestral house, and Liang Zixin, this very, very kind grandfather taught you a lot of fighting, oh No, it is the knowledge of ancient Chinese architectural design. Even if you have forgotten it, you must remember it. Do you want me to write you a note and keep it with you, so that you can have a reminder when you forget? Or I Let me tattoo your back, just like the one Yue Fei's mother tattooed."

I found that my brother has looked at me with such profound eyes many times today.

Then he gave me a long sentence: "Didn't you say that it is still uncertain whether this thing belongs to your family?"

So why do I think that the little brother is a character who can take advantage of his tongue?

"It's very likely that it's our family! Look, look, this has my family logo."

He glanced away, took Yingjisha, and retracted it by his waist: "I won't give my life to Liang Siqi."

Damn, then you should give me back the knife, this is the knife made by Liang Siqi, right?Even with your expressionless face, I can see that you like this knife very much, and you will carry it with you wherever you go.

"Okay, let's not work for Liang Siqi, how about helping his sister's head office?" I pointed to my face, "Look, I am carrying a big family secret at the moment, and according to Bai Tao, my life is in danger at any time. And recently I was robbed right under your nose. I almost died in Qinling." I saw him looking at me silently, but he didn't show much resistance, and continued: " Zhang Ma, I was thrown into the bucket by myself and I was terribly scared. I was still a student who hadn’t graduated from college. And that time when I ran after you, you jumped over the big gap with a few somersaults, but I almost fell to my death following you. If Wu Xie hadn’t held me back, I would have gone to meet my family’s ancestors. Besides, how could you leave me alone on that plank road? You know that Tie Zhu chased me later? Did I almost die in his hands when I came here? And that time in the bronze coffin..."

He interrupted my thoughts: "What do you want me to do?"

"Teach me some knowledge of self-defense and inversion."

I saw that his eyes began to shift, and I quickly grabbed his arm: "You, you can't do this, keep rejecting me. And maybe I can lead you to the answer you want to know? At least it's better than you being blind in the fight." It would be more reliable to find out. And I risked my life to tell you so many things about my family."

"Why are you in danger?"

"You first promise to teach me self-defense and fighting. I'll tell you everything I know."

He finally looked at me, then shook his head: "You can't."

"How do you know I can't do it anymore? I'm sure I can't be like you, as long as I'm better than before. For example, I can be like my eleven."

"You can not."

"Well, it's fine to be as tough as a fat man."

"You can not."

"Ci'ao, don't keep saying that I can't do it. You can teach me or not. Do you still want to know the specific relationship between my family and Zhang's family?"

This sentence finally hit the point. He tilted his head, as if he was thinking, so he thought about it, thought about it, and still thought about it...

Brother, it turns out that you also have inner dramas-but you are so fucking struggling, is it so difficult for you to teach me, I think I am quite smart!

Just when I was about to bother him for another round, he finally woke up from his trance and said softly: "Okay."

Oh yeah!

"Mother Zhang, you, you promised me, a gentleman's promise is worth a thousand gold! You remember!" I was excited for a moment, and I guess my image was a little crazy, which made him lean back, as if he was afraid that I would catch him again he.

I made up my mind and started to tell him the stories Bai Tao told me.

Thinking about it now, I didn't hide anything from my little brother at the time, which is enough to show that my safety awareness is quite poor.It may be because I believe in my brother from the bottom of my heart. This is no longer a matter of reason, but from an emotional point of view. I tend to believe him. Even if he is not that Zhang Qiling, he will not harm me. Has hit me many times.On the other hand, after all, I have not experienced the family tribulations mentioned by Bai Tao, so it is difficult to empathize with the seriousness of the problem.

In short, I didn't fully realize at the time that this "contempt" had silently changed many things.

"Actually, I still haven't figured out what was in the box that was given to the emperor back then. Is the ultimate a symbol or something real—brother? Brother, what's wrong? What do you think of?"

The little brother's eyes suddenly changed.Then, in a flat tone, he repeated: "Ultimately..."

"Yes, Ultimate, what impression do you have?"

He lowered his head, and after a while, his face suddenly changed, and his eyes became loose and unfocused.

"There is one thing...to be done." He murmured softly, looking beyond me to a further place.

"Eh? What's the matter, does it have something to do with the person surnamed Liang?"

"Changbai Mountain..."

"What happened to Changbai Mountain?"

I desperately tried to find any clues in his silence but failed.

"Brother, what happened to Changbai Mountain?"

I pushed him, but he didn't respond as if he was stunned. I didn't know what to do for a while, so I could only sit with him.I don't know how long I sat there, and he didn't come back to his senses until I was drowsy.

I saw him move his body, and quickly asked him, "Do you remember anything?"

"Changbai Mountain..."

"Yes, I heard from you earlier, what happened to Changbai Mountain?"

"I don't know." He bowed his head and pressed his forehead with one hand.

It was the first time I saw him like this, and I was a little worried: "Uh, little brother, forget it if you don't remember it, don't force yourself." I wanted to pat him on the shoulder to comfort him, but suddenly he grabbed my hand, and then I saw him with a pair of hands. Deep eyes looked at me.

"Where... have I seen it before?"

I didn't understand for a moment, but he grabbed my hand very tightly and seemed very excited.

In this way, I fixedly looked at him, and he looked at me, and then said a word: "Madam."

I was at a loss, let alone directionless, and looked back at him like a fool: "Huh?"

To be honest, it was the first time for Zhang Ma to look at me so seriously. No, I am probably No.1 in this world.But what the hell is he going to dig out of my face?At this time, I didn't dare to disturb him, so I could only keep calm and wait for my little brother to return to his soul.

After a while, I heard him gasp and loosen his hold on me.

Seeing that he didn't say a word, I sat for a while, until I couldn't sit still, then asked him carefully and softly: "Brother, are you okay?"

He didn't respond to my question at all, and I began to worry that I did something stupid to irritate my little brother, what should I do.Just as I was about to splash Wu Xie awake with cold water, I suddenly heard my brother say: "I remembered something."

"Oh..." I wasn't sure whether to encourage him, a little afraid that he would recall something bad.

"There is a bright place..."

The little brother began to describe this fragment in his memory.

At that time, he was still underage, and one day, he was brought into a bright mansion by some people.There were a lot of people gathered in the house, those people were wearing old-fashioned gowns, and they seemed to have come out to welcome them.And he was led by a smiling man in a black shirt, and people called him "the master".When they walked into a large living room filled with sunlight, a woman in a flag dress stepped out of the sunlight.

The person behind him nudged him and told him: This is the eldest lady, call someone quickly.

The head of the family smiled gently: There are so many details.And just like the little ones in our family, just call me big aunt.

Later he ate a meal in this strange place.According to him, the meal was delicious in his impression, but he couldn't remember what he ate.

While eating, he heard the big master asking him and the people around him something.It was a topic about Changbai Mountain, and the ultimate thing was mentioned during the period.The head of the family said some details.But he no longer remembers what he said in detail, the only thing he remembers is the scene of eating and the sunny room.

When the lady left, she gave him a pair of cloth shoes she made herself.

My child, you will have to walk a long way after all. I hope this pair of shoes can carry you on a smooth journey.

I look a lot like that woman.

"Brother, I seem to know who the eldest lady is."

He looked at me seriously.

I swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "I heard that I look very similar to my grandma..." I recalled the image in that photo, so I pushed back my bangs, "Is it very similar? "

He observes for a moment, then nods.

I had a few times in my heart, and said in a complicated mood: "Brother, it seems that you may really be the boy Liang Zixin taught. But after this calculation, you are really older than my grandfather. Should I also call you Grandpa Zhang?"

He was silent.

In fact, after listening to Bai Tao's story, I decided that the little brother was the Zhang family that my family was looking for, and I was not too surprised at the moment.But after this level of understanding was refined, for some reason, I had a sense of fate that was arranged by the heavens.It was such a shock that even my one-liners sounded dry.

I was silent for a moment, and forced a smile on the corner of my mouth: "It doesn't matter, anyway, you promised me to call you Zhang's mother, so you should just be Zhang's mother."

He ignored me, but asked: "What happened to the head of the Liang family you mentioned?"

"Uh, then...not so good."

"Didn't you say they were waiting for me?"

"Ah."

"and after?"

I sighed: "Almost all of them were killed."

I saw that he didn't express much, and added: "Basically they were all killed. Liang Zixin, the head of the Liang family, and the lady who made shoes for you, her name is Lu Minzhi. Their four sons are all dead. Only my grandfather survived. So not everyone with the surname Liang knew about this secret. I told you earlier that there was a very powerful enemy who wanted to wipe us all out. At that time, my family was too careless, so More than 100 people were almost wiped out."

"Is it."

He just said something very flat.

The unicorn tattoo gradually faded.

I froze for a moment.

Is it just such a plain "is it"?No exclamation No emotion?I suddenly wanted to yell at him "Can you show a little bit of regret", but this impulse was quickly annihilated by another layer of new understanding.

My brother's problem is not just not remembering.People are not just a combination of memories, nor are they connected to the world only by memories.

Isn't the relationship between people based on emotion?

But the person in front of me, without words, doesn't seem to be happy or sad, like a humanoid handicraft that has been carefully carved out, all things, no matter how big or small, are just a stream of light in his eyes .No matter how big the matter came to him, it was just a "really".To be honest, he was able to reply with a "really?" He has already given a lot of attention.

However, he is standing by your side so naturally.

It is a matter of course to eliminate danger for everyone, and it is a matter of course to open the palm to expel evil insects.He stands by your side, although he is still silent, but it makes you feel at ease.You thank him, he will not have any feedback to you, but become redundant.

You can't describe such a person with simple indifference.

What honed him like this?

I think back to Liang Zixin's letter, the young man shouldered the important responsibilities of the two families in such a silent way, even though he knew he was the victim of being pushed out, he didn't have any objection or evasion, it seemed so natural.

He just said indifferently: Master Liang, I have to leave.

Everyone knew what he was shouldering. Did Lu Minzhi feel guilty when he handed him the shoes? How many times could a pair of cloth shoes smooth the way for him?I can imagine that he just silently accepted the shoes and put them away, just like he calmly accepted Liang Zixin's candy, and then set off on the journey again.

He told everyone around him in a flat and silent way, it doesn't matter, I will do it.

This journey is longer than everyone else's. No one will accompany him to the end. He can only walk all the way and explore by himself.The people who pass by, the journey has a beginning and an end, for him it doesn't matter, he just bears the fate placed on him.

Gai this young man, who was lonely and lonely since he was a child, did not know what sugar is, and he bears the hope of my family for generations...

With such a burden, his heart has no room for too many people passing by along the way.

Such an endless life may not be as good as a journey ending in death.

I sighed a few times before saying: "Anyway, people cannot be resurrected after death. Even if they were not killed, they would not live in this era. The important thing is the current people. Zhang Ma, I think it is necessary for me, Wu Xie, And the fat man's name is tattooed on your body, so that at least you won't say a word when we die, isn't it, it's that simple."

He still looked at me calmly, then shook his head.

I knew that was his reaction.

"Okay, then you take care of my Yingjisha, at least there is my Liang family's logo on it - no, the Liang family's logo is too inaccurate." I thought of an idea, "How about you, the one on the scabbard side Did you see the cortex, engrave three words 'Liang Jinsong' for me."

He looked at me and said nothing.

"I told you to engrave it, and you can engrave it, or give me back the knife." I really got serious.

I just finished speaking and I was a little afraid that he would really give it back to me categorically, and then I would be begging him to accept it, so I would lose face.Fortunately, he seemed to be really looking forward to seeing the knife, so he immediately pulled out the knife and began to carve words on the scabbard seriously.

I was satisfied to see him trace the sheath vigorously, and when he was done, he handed the sheath to me.

I saw my temples throbbing.I saw three big crooked characters in the letter: "Given by Liang Jing".

Mistake, big mistake!

I couldn't help giving him a head-knock: "You have played so many fucking fights with me and you don't know which 'jin' my 'jin' is. Which eye of yours sees me as quiet. You The irony of me, right! Remember, my grandpa told me to 'progress' all the way to old age, so it's the 'in' of 'progress', the 'in' of 'progress', you know what? .”

I saw that this kid really didn't give me a chance to correct my mistakes. This piece of leather is only this size, and his words are all over it, and the engraving is so ugly, I still can't help but sigh: "Oh, Mama Zhang, Mama Zhang, why do I think you can do anything with your dexterous fingers? What a mistake. How can this be changed? Moreover, the word '静' has so many strokes, it would be ugly to cross it out. Oh, really, early If you know, let you engrave Wu Xie, let me see if you really engraved a naive 'innocence'. No matter, you are holding this anyway, and you are the one who is laughed at, really."

When I raised my head, I met his eyes, only to see a slight ripple in those pupils that had been covered with thin ice all year round, and then the corners of his lips were slightly curved, revealing a smile.

The entanglement in my heart was swept away in an instant.

"That's right, Zhang Daxian, you should just smile like this, and occasionally go back to the human world to take a look. The fireworks in the human world are also worth seeing."

His smile was indifferent, and he passed away soon. I was surprised to hear him say something to me:

"Wu Xie is right, you are the one who talks the most strange things."

The author has something to say:

Here is my understanding of the role of the little brother~

Sure enough, this is the most attractive character in Stealing Pens!Once again, I feel the power of Uncle San~

So can everyone accept the little brother who is contaminated with fireworks in the world?
