summer market

Luo Sihai shook his head, his breathing was a little short, and he said, "Look at the Shu brocade inside the box again."

Gu Feng Chun Yiyan, picked up the small piece of brocade in the box very carefully, he was worried that if he was not careful, this piece of Shu brocade would be broken into ashes.In the archaeological excavations, there are many examples of the exquisite brocade and silk fabrics of the weavers that disappeared instantly after being exposed to the air. Gu Fengchun had to be careful with these silk fabrics.This small piece of Shu brocade is about the size of an adult's palm, and the patterns on it have long since faded, and those dim patterns look like a simple map.Gu Fengchun sighed and said, "The history of this Shu brocade is probably no less than 2000 years."

Luo Sihai nodded and said, "That's right, I tested it a long time ago, and it was the best textile in the Bashu area 300 years ago."And when I found this piece of Shu brocade, it was enclosing this ring and that piece of double kui dragon jade. "

Gu Fengchun stared blankly at Luo Sihai.Gu Fengchun always thought that Luo Sihai was at most an insider about these secrets, but he never expected that Luo Sihai was actually a participant.

Seeing Gu Fengchun's strange expression, Luo Sihai said, "We have to start from the beginning. There are many people and things involved in this matter. There are too many people and things involved. If it wasn't because you guessed Given the riddle I gave, I thought I would take this secret into my coffin and never tell anyone."

Gu Fengchun nodded, not wanting to interrupt Luo Sihai's thoughts.He was originally a very patient person, and of course he wanted to know as much and detailed information as possible about this kind of information.

Luo Sihai raised his right hand and supported his chin, his voice gradually lowered, and he slowly narrated a dusty past.

That was many years ago.Luo Sihai did not forget that it was the autumn of 1956.

One of Luo Sihai's uncles drove all the way back from Beijing to his hometown, Luojiawan, and visited his hometown after decades of absence.This caused quite a stir locally.Because, Luo Sihai's uncle has long been famous, and he is an outstanding general in the Republic, a general with a very high military rank.

Although he is an uncle, Luo Sihai, who is already a 16-year-old boy, is meeting him for the first time.As early as decades ago, this uncle had devoted himself to the revolution, not to mention Luo Sihai, even Luo Sihai's father, Luo Wenfeng, hadn't seen his younger brother for 30 years.Luo Wenfeng had heard in the early years that his younger brother became a high-ranking officer in a certain army, and fought in several battles with outstanding military achievements.After Luo Wenfeng heard these rumors, he didn't comment either.In that turbulent era, being an officer was not necessarily a good thing.

The Luo family is a prominent family in the local area, and they also moved from other places very early.There are many local legends about the ancestors of the Luo family. It is said that the first ancestor of the Luo family to move here was a high-ranking official. One version is that the ancestors of the Luo family were the housekeepers of the prince. Later, the prince wanted to seek rebellion. After the defeat, the ancestors of the Luo family fled to this remote village with a large amount of gold, silver and jewels, and gradually multiplied into a Luojiawan.This is all a very old time, and no one knows when it happened.Even if the members of the Luo family want to know the origin of their family, they have no way to test it, because the genealogy does not know when it was lost.After several generations, the deeds of the ancestors have long been hard to find traces.

What Luo Sihai still remembers is that the generation of his ancestors started to have the hobby of collecting gold and stone antiques.Although Luojiawan is a remote place, the ancestors of the Luo family were very good at collecting antiques.According to my father’s recollection, when the family was rich, the five rooms in the old house were filled with various collections.Calligraphy and painting by famous artists, Jinshi porcelain.Could it be a treasure that is hard to find.Under the influence of his father, Luo Sihai has developed a great interest in antiques since he was a child. Even the treasurer of a big pawnshop at a young age does not have his vision.However, during the period of war and chaos, the Luo family's collections gradually disappeared.Luo Sihai's grandfather sold those rare treasures in exchange for oil and food to maintain the life of the tribe.As the saying goes, antiques in prosperous times, gold in troubled times.During the time of war and chaos, antiques were sold cheaper than stones, and Luo Sihai's grandfather also died of depression because he saw that the rare treasures accumulated by his ancestors for many years were almost lost in his hands.In the year of grandfather's death, the young and bold uncle left his hometown and joined the revolution.This departure lasted for more than 30 years.

When I was young, I left home and the eldest returned home. The local accent has not changed, and the hair on the temples has declined.General Luo naturally has this feeling.After more than 30 years of travel and dust, the two brothers hugged their heads and cried when they met. The scene was very touching.However, General Luo's return this time is not like the princes and generals in ancient times, who came here to show off when they returned home.At this time, he was carrying a heavy burden.

That night, General Luo shared a big secret with his elder brother Luo Wenfeng in the room where they had been separated for nearly 30 years.

A year ago, General Luo was recalled by the leader from the frontier after a long journey.The leader gave him a task to lead a scientific research team into Lop Nur to explore the local water source.Lop Nur was originally within his jurisdiction, and General Luo realized that if it was a simple scientific research investigation, it would not be necessary for an officer of his level to do it himself.Sure enough, the leader then took out a thick ancient book and handed it to him.And let him open the last page.Tell him to find that place and bring something out.

General Luo was born in a scholarly family, although decades of military career, but it has not erased his solid family literati foundation.The four big characters "Luo's family tree" written in flamboyant forms made General Luo tremble all over.Since he was a child, he knew that his family tree had been lost a long time ago, could it be this one that appeared in front of him?General Luo is a communist, but the Chinese people's heavy family patriarchal concept is also solidly precipitated in General Luo, but it is difficult to change this primitive patriarchal complex.

In front of the leader, General Luo tried his best not to lose his composure, and turned to the last page of the ancient book as he said, where an ancient map was drawn.General Luo is an expert in marching and fighting. In his eyes, the ancient map can be identified immediately.It was an ancient map of Lop Nur.And General Luo knows that the topography of this map is no longer applicable to the present. Lop Nur is a sea that can move, and its position will often change.The leader's destination was already on the verge of danger on the ancient map, and now, it may already be in the depths of the desert. If you want to find something in the vast desert, it is like looking for a needle.

General Luo accepted the task without even thinking about it.In the red era at that time, people believed that everything was possible, and the more impossible the task, the more motivated people were.General Luo studied this ancient book that night, and then confirmed that the Luo family tree in front of him is the one lost in his own family.

After reading it, General Luo couldn't help feeling: If it weren't for this family tree, no one would know that there was such a story in his family.
