Treasure Hunt Memo

Chapter 1 A Jade Lemon
"Please Huang Li go to No. 6 psychological clinic for treatment."

After hearing the broadcast in the hospital corridor, I pushed open the door of Consulting Room No. [-].

"Hello there!"

"Hello!"

"Is Huang Li right? How old is this year?"

"23 is old."

"what happened?"

The psychiatrist in front of me was a middle-aged woman in her 40s, with a gentle and friendly face, and the sign on her chest said Director Zuo.Looking at her, I scratched my head and said, "Hello, Director Zuo, I've been having the same dream repeatedly recently, and now I have resistance before going to bed, but the more afraid I am, the more I dream."

"How long has this been the case?" she asked while typing on the keyboard.

"One week."

She looked at me and asked, "What did you dream about?"

"I remember, I walked through a ruin...and a broken wall. After going around the broken wall...I walked up the stream and came to a mountain body, where...there was a big hole in the rock wall on the left, but whenever I When I want to climb up and see what's in the cave, I will wake up!" I tried to think about the scene in my dream, and said intermittently.

When I said this, she kept frowning and staring at me, making me uncomfortable.

She continued to ask: "Then you recall, was there any experience related to the scene in your dream a week ago?"

Originally, I really didn't think about this question. After listening to her words, I fell into the memory... Something related to the scene in the dream... It seems that there is really one?
Things have to start from last week...

My name is Huang Li, and I am an undergraduate graduate of a well-known university.Unlike most of my peers, I am not interested in games, watching dramas, etc., but I have shown a strong interest in collecting some antiques and old objects.Because of this weird hobby, my social circle has seriously aged.And the weekly meetings at the local antique market are part of my regular itinerary.

Last Saturday, I ran into a new face at the local antiques market who came to set up a stall.There was nothing on his stall, and he sat alone on the ground, mingling with those stall owners who were full of antiques in front of him, looking a bit out of place.

This man is an uncle who looks to be about 60 or [-] years old. His surname is Le. He said he came from Linzi and came to visit our relatives.Passing by the market, I saw it was very lively, so I wanted to see if I could sell the ancient jade handed down from my body and exchange it for some money.

The local market is full of fakes and unrefined gadgets. When I heard that he wanted to sell ancient ancestral jades, I became interested and wanted to have a look.

Uncle Le glanced at me. He probably looked at me casually because I was not very old. He didn’t want to buy it in good faith, so he said in Mandarin mixed with dialect: "This is a good thing. It’s not cheap. "

"I usually like to collect some antiques. If it's really a good item, I beg you to sell it to me. You can rest assured that it will be in place!" Seeing a few more people around to watch the fun, I was also a little anxious Get up, stick to him and whisper.

After all, if it is really a good thing, it will be bad if you encounter talkative or disturbing ones.

After hearing this, Uncle Le still didn't move his hands. He looked around for a while, as if he had some concerns.Seeing this, I simply dragged him into a nearby noodle shop, invited him to a meal, and talked while eating.

After entering the noodle shop, we found a corner and sat down.

"Master, can you take it out now?" As soon as I sat down, I began to urge.

The uncle put aside the coat on his body, groped in his arms for a while, and took out a shriveled cigarette case, and then took out a ball of toilet paper from the cigarette case.He spread the ball of paper in the palm of his hand and fiddled with it with chapped fingers.

As the wrinkled toilet paper gradually unfolded, a very delicate little thing appeared in my sight.The uncle raised his hand forward, but he didn't intend to hand it over, so I had no choice but to get close to my body to observe.

After just one glance, I was attracted by this thing.

The little thing in front of me is a jade lezi, a jade tube-shaped ornament that originated quite early.The appearance of its shape was even earlier than the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties.

The uncle seemed very interested in seeing me, he grinned and said: "How is it? Is it a good thing? This is an old antique!"

"Can I get my hands on it?"

After getting the uncle's permission, I carefully picked up the leash, and I felt a cold touch when I started it. When I looked it up close to my face, a strong smell of smoke mixed with the smell of the mud of the raw pit went straight into my nose.He thought to himself, what kind of ancestral ancient jade is this, it is obviously just unearthed from the grave, it seems that Mr. Le is dishonest.

But this time I took a good look at it. This piece is very exquisite as a whole, with complicated craftsmanship. The decoration on it is called dragon head cloud pattern. I saw it in a book about ancient jade. This kind of decoration appears frequently. In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

Looking at the overall condition, the whole body of this piece of reed is relatively complete, and there are residual soil marks in some parts. It is very moist and bright when facing the light. There are some slight locks and stains on one side, which show the vicissitudes of history even more.

Seeing this, I already had a general idea in my heart, I played with it lightly in my hand, but I started to secretly plan in my heart.

"Master, I don't think this ancient jade of yours is inherited from your ancestors?" I said tentatively.

Hearing my words, the uncle's expression tensed at first, and then returned to normal. Although it was only for a moment, I caught a trace of abnormality.He said, "Young man, don't worry about this thing, it's definitely an antique! If you like it, just ask for a price, and I'll almost sell it to you!"

Hehe, you are so old and cunning, you not only keep silent about your background, but also ask me to bid.It seems that he doesn't understand this stuff either, asking me to quote is a test, I thought to myself.But it's a good thing. After passing this village, I'm afraid there will be no such shop.

After testing each other, I figured out his way.

Although he didn't understand this thing, he also knew it was an antique, so he didn't let go of the asking price. After several rounds of price increases, I paid 3600 yuan to barely get it.Although this is not a big mistake, compared to the price in my heart, I am already very satisfied.After taking the leash, I carefully put it in my pocket, and the uncle smiled when he took the cash.

Under the win-win situation, I also chatted with the uncle about the origin of the things.The uncle was reluctant to say it at first, but after seeing that I had paid out two more red notes and repeatedly asked me to keep it secret, he hesitated to speak out.

It turned out that this uncle came from a small mountain village called Zhaoyue Village in Linzi, and he was indeed visiting relatives this time. He happened to see an antique market gathering nearby, and thought of selling this unexpected antique by the way.

According to the uncle’s recollection, a few days ago he went to the mountain to cut sheep grass as usual, and when he was going down the mountain in the evening, it suddenly rained heavily, with lightning and thunder, and then he heard a loud noise from the mountain, and the whole mountain seemed to shake. Shaking, the sound was so loud that everyone in the village heard it, and everyone in the village said that the mountain god was angry.When Uncle Le went up the mountain again in the afternoon of the next day, he found a hole that appeared out of thin air on a slope halfway up the mountain. The uncle said that he stood at the hole and looked inside, and it was so dark that he could not see the end. I didn't dare to go in, but this jade lezi was picked up at the entrance of the cave.

After hearing Uncle Le's words, my blood boiled for a while.But after being excited for a while, I still regained my senses, and I vaguely felt that things seemed not that simple.

Firstly, when he was talking about it, he sometimes hesitated, as if deliberately concealing something; secondly, according to his description, the entrance of this cave was bottomless, what kind of tomb would be dug into the shape of a long hole, and the jade was thrown in the hole?If Uncle Le is not lying, this is probably a robbery cave, and the jade lezi at the entrance of the cave was also accidentally dropped by the tomb robbers. According to the traditional habit of tomb robbers plucking wild goose, even if it is really a big tomb, it must have already been moved empty.

After dinner, I also said goodbye to Uncle Le.When I got home, I excitedly played with the leash for a while, then put it into a beautiful box and put it away.

I thought the matter was over here, but I didn’t expect that I dreamed of the same scene many times in the past week. Only then did I belatedly realize that the scene I walked through in my dream was related to Uncle Le’s narration. Even some of the details do not seem to come from Mr. Le's description, but from my own experience.

"Huang Li? What are you thinking?" The psychiatrist's words brought me back again.

"Ah... I... I probably watched a movie, and what I dreamed about was the plot in it..." I didn't know what to say for a while, so I just made up a reason, after all, Yulezi also came from a wrong path , you can't talk nonsense everywhere.

"I think you may be under a lot of pressure recently. From a psychological point of view, having the same dream repeatedly means that the problems reflected in the dream have not been resolved in your heart. Your dream comes from the movie... In short , your situation is not serious, don’t worry too much, listen to music more, exercise more, there’s nothing wrong with it!” She analyzed my situation, and my thoughts drifted away early in the middle part, so that I didn’t realize her What did you say.

"Ok, thank you!"

I thanked me, and after leaving the hospital, I took a taxi and went straight home.

When I got home, I went to my collection cabinet and took down a delicate wooden box from the top shelf.Turn on the desk lamp and carefully look at the lace in the box.

Suddenly, I gasped and felt an electric current rushing from the back of my neck to my brain.This guy... seems to have another secret? !
