Chapter 26

Life in the countryside is a routine that repeats itself step by step almost every day. The adults go to work, the children go to school, three meals a day, laundry and cooking. Mihe and the other little girls have rarely visited each other recently. But I always look forward to Zhang Xiaolian eating some meat to visit relatives.

After a few days of calm and boredom, Zhang Xiaolian didn't show up again. I still can only live every day with loss.

On this day, the sky was completely dark, and Wu Wenyan from next door suddenly came to my house quietly. Of course, she entered the house under the guise of looking for Michelle, and then dragged Michelle to see me. When she met me that day, she didn't say much and just said that her father wanted to see me.

His father is Mr. Wu, a rightist. His father wants to see me. What will happen? I immediately searched hard in my mind. Her father and I had met once since we were sent back home, that is, when we were going home together, and we didn't even exchange a few words. What did he want from me? Does it have anything to do with Wu Wenyan?

I was thinking about it in my mind, but it was hard to refuse and shirk it. Michelle even added fuel to the fire,"Uncle Wu wants to see you because he wants to give you a compliment. Why are you bothering?".

Michelle and I followed Wu Wenyan and arrived at Wu Wenyan's house quietly. Wu Wenyan's house is small and shabby. When she arrived at the door, Wu Wenyan opened the door directly and entered the house without knocking. The room was dark, with only a faint light coming from the trailer room at the back.

"dad! dad——"

Wu Wenyan fumbled for matches to light the lamp while shouting for her father to come out. Wu Wenyan's father heard the noise and hurriedly went out

"Rare visitor! Rare visitor! Wenyan! Quickly bring a stool to the guest and pour a cup of tea!"

"no no! You're welcome!"

"Xiao Hao! Cher! Both of you are Wen Yan's lifesavers, and we don't know how to be grateful now. well!"

It turned out to be about this. I couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief."Professor Wu! You're really welcome! If something like this happens, everyone will help!"

"good! good! You are an educated youth who was sent to the countryside and settled in Xue'er's family. You are as close to Xue'er and the others as a family. This is not simple. I have one more important thing, and I want to entrust it to you. I don't know if you are willing to help me!"

"More important things?"I secretly felt a thump in my heart. The more important thing is, isn't it something about his daughter Wu Wenyan? I don't dare to talk about it casually.

"What's up? You tell me first, as long as I can help!"

"After much thought about this matter, you are the only one who is most suitable!"

"So tell me, what's going on?"

"good! You follow me!"

After Professor Wu finished speaking, he stood up slowly and led us into his room.

Professor Wu's room was short and small. After setting up a bed and a table, the two people standing inside seemed very crowded. I followed. After entering the house, Wu Wenyan and Michelle could only lean against the door frame. Professor Wu bent down on the ground and carefully pulled out a snakeskin bag from under the bed. When I saw that the bag was bulging and heavy, I went up to lend a hand, and together we Twist it onto the table. Professor Wu still very carefully untied the snakeskin bag and slowly fumbled out a few bricks and tiles from the bag.

"This - what is this?"

"baby!"

"baby?"

"right! This is a priceless treasure!"

"Priceless treasure?

Professor Wu still carefully picked up a broken tile:"Yes!" In the eyes of ordinary people, these things are just rubbish and worthless. But once this thing is in our hands, it is a priceless treasure. These are precious cultural relics"

"Cultural relics!"

As soon as I heard the word cultural relics, I suddenly became nervous. If you mess with this thing, you will be jailed if you are not careful.

Professor Wu probably saw that I was so nervous, and then he softened his tone:"Cultural relics, as long as you don't steal them. , and it won’t be illegal. Nowadays, the world is so chaotic that few people understand these things. If I try to reason with these people like that, not only will I be playing the piano to a cow, but I will also get into trouble, especially with my current status."

"So what do you mean, do you want me to hand over these things for you?"

"No! No! These things must not be shown to others easily now. At present, everything is based on class struggle and political movements take the lead. Everything will be politically colored and put on the line. Especially the things I have in hand are too professional and few people understand them. It is more likely to be distorted and exploited by those with ulterior motives. Therefore, we must wait until the overall social environment and climate improves, and then we can hand it over when the time is right."

"This - when will this wait? We don’t know what you have, and we don’t know how to help you."

"Yes, I know that. You don’t understand these things either. But I can tell you some simple knowledge now. At least you all know that this is a treasure and you can protect it for me. If you can do this, you have done me the greatest favor, and you have also done a great deed of great merit to the country and the people."

"Professor Wu! What you want is for us to keep these treasures safe for you. But——"

"Xiao Hao! Don't worry too much. I have also considered this matter carefully."

"Professor Wu! I also just devolved——"

"Xiao Hao! I also know that this matter is asking for trouble for you. Now I am in a state of desperation and have no choice. Here, I have always been a registered old rightist. Whenever there is any movement, I am always the first to bear the brunt. Team or team, anyone can trample me under their feet. Now, the child Wen Yan is also suffering from me, being bullied to the point of being bullied, and we have no power to resist. If these things in my hand are kept here, they will be a time bomb. I don't know when it exploded. Not only were the cultural relics destroyed, but my old bones were also blown up and nothing was left. And Wen Yan, if something happens to me again, it will bring disaster to her.——"

"Professor Wu! Stop talking! I promise to keep these things for you, and Xueer. We must keep them as our lifeblood!"

"Yep! Uncle Wu, you can rest assured!"

"well! I feel reassured and at ease when I leave my things to you. Xiao Hao is an educated youth, and the Xueer family is a martyred family. No one dares to cause trouble for you for no reason. But you two must remember my words and hide this thing when you go back. When the time comes, you must not take it out and no one can tell it. The fewer people who know about these things, the less trouble and the less danger they will have."

"Um!"

"Also, if I pick up another treasure in the future, I will ask Wen Yan to pass it on to you quietly."

"Professor Wu! Did you pick up all these treasures? Where did you pick it up?"

"There is a place called Eagle Flying Platform here. You must have heard of it, right?"

"Eagle-flying platform?"

"I know! That is a mound. Legend has it that Guan Gong lived there and fought in battles, so it was called Eagle Tower. Some people say that there are tree spirits there, and people often pray to gods and worship Buddha there, and engage in feudal superstition! School teachers often use it as a negative teaching material to provide us with revolutionary education."

Regarding the Eagle Flying Platform, I have heard a lot of discussions and rumors since I was transferred here. But until now, I have never been there or seen it.. Obviously even Michelle knows more about it than I do. Professor Wu listened to Michelle’s introduction without interruption.

"hehe! Regarding this eagle-flying platform, whether it was Guan Gong who released eagles there or someone else lived there. It doesn’t matter whether these stories and legends are true or false. But one thing is for sure. It shows that this place has existed for a long time and is a relic left by our ancestors and even ancient people from long ago. Any traces left by these ancestors are history, culture, and civilization to us now. This is actually the meaning of archaeological work and the value of archaeological relics"

"So is this place called Eagle Flying Platform really the place where Guan Gong releases eagles? So it is a relic from the Three Kingdoms period?"

"This requires more rigorous archaeological excavation and physical evidence. At present, based on my intuitive judgment, from the fragments I saw on the rubble piles around the Yingfang Tower, they can be traced back to Qin bricks and Han tiles, or even earlier."

"What? Qin bricks and Han tiles?"

"Unfortunately, I am unable to conduct more rigorous and scientific experimental identification now, and I can't find any literature at hand. I can only make a bold guess based on experience. But I have a hunch that this eagle-flying platform is by no means a simple earthen platform, but a large-scale ancient architectural site. There may also be architectural relics from different eras accumulated!"

"According to what you say, then this entire eagle-flying platform is a relic left by our ancestors, and they are all priceless treasures!"

"should be!"

"However, no one manages this place. The surrounding people often burn incense and worship Buddha there, and dig holes to collect soil. Many cadres also said that they should clean up this place as a remnant of feudalism."

"well! This is what makes me most anxious, distressed and helpless. Regarding that entire site, in my current capacity, there is really nothing I can do. All I can do now is steal some valuable cultural relics from there. Maybe I can leave something valuable to future generations."

"Professor Wu! You - if you don't mind it, accept me as a student and teach me some relevant knowledge. I know that with your current status, you cannot do many things, but I can. I am an educated youth, and no one can just go online."

"Xiao Hao! Are you really so concerned about this matter?"

"Yes! Anyway, we are sent to the rural areas just to receive re-education from poor and lower-middle peasants. We usually have nothing serious to do except repairing the earth. Isn’t this just a good way to learn more knowledge from you?"

"And I! I want to learn too!"

When Michelle heard what I said, she immediately started cheering. I glared at her angrily:"Go, go, go! Kids, don't interrupt! You didn’t see me talking to Professor Wu about business!"

"I want it! These treasures in Uncle Wu's hands are to be kept by both of us. Of course, I also need to learn more knowledge. I can do more things in the future!"

"well! Xiao Hao! Although Xue'er is still a child, she is very sensible. If you really want to learn more from me, it wouldn't be a bad thing to have her with you, maybe it would be beneficial."

"that is! During the past wars, many arduous tasks were completed by our children's league members. Sister Wen Yan, do you think so?"

Wu Wenyan has been holding Michelle and leaning against the door frame quietly. Now that Michelle has begged her, she has to say:"Brother Hao Bin! Thank you very much! My dad - with your help, I will be much more at ease in the future!"

"no! No need to thank me, I want to thank Professor Wu properly! Give me the opportunity to learn more knowledge!"

"Xiao Hao! As long as you are willing to learn, I am eager to pour out all the ink in my belly to you. What I'm most worried about now is that I don't know how long my old bones can last. When I close my eyes one day, the little ink in my stomach will have to be carried into the coffin! In today’s world, I don’t know where this logic comes from. The more knowledge you have, the more reactionary it becomes. snort! Those who are uneducated and uneducated have become the most revolutionary. well!"

"Professor Wu! We are confused about many things now! But I think what you just said is still very important and meaningful, so I will try my best to do it well."

"All right! Today you take these things home and put them away. From now on, if you want to learn something, you can come over every night"

"good!"

Professor Wu carefully wrapped those things again and solemnly handed them to me. I took the bag and carefully held it in my arms. My hands felt heavy, and my heart felt heavy. This is Professor Wu's hard work, and also Professor Wu’s great trust. For no other reason than Professor Wu.As an old man, in such a tragic situation of adversity, what he thinks about most are these broken bricks and tiles. Even if I behead my head and go to jail for these broken bricks and tiles in the future, I will have no hesitation and no hesitation.
