When I came back from seeing someone off, I saw Lao Hu drinking tea. The fat man must have gone to open the back door. Lao Hu looked at me and said, Beibei, you are so good at foreign languages. What you just said was not in English. I smiled and said that I studied German when I was in college. These two people were professors from Germany. They liked Chinese culture and had just bought a bottle from the mid-Ming Dynasty.

You know German too. You said you graduated from a prestigious university, so why did you think of becoming a self-employed person? You can also work as a leader in an agency. I answered that I was studying medicine. After graduation, I originally wanted to go to my father's hospital, but I didn't want to. I still dare not go home just because of my troubles. He beat me several times. When Lao Hu heard what I said, he felt the same way, so he also got beaten by his father. I continued, I didn’t want to be locked up in such a small circle at such a young age. I told you that I studied Chinese medicine. If you went to the hospital and saw a Chinese medicine practitioner as young as me, would you believe my medical skills? Lao Hu smiled and said that it seems that they are not compatible. You see, it is like this. Although my medical skills are passed down from my family, my family has been the imperial physician in the palace since the Northern Song Dynasty. The medical skills passed down from my family are not as young as mine. My father It was Pinbo who was not recognized by others until he was fifty years old.

Besides, I really don’t like dealing with people I don’t like, and I can’t do one thing on the surface and another behind the scenes. Lao Hu also feels it deeply, yes, don’t I too? If I were more diplomatic, I wouldn’t be demobilized and go home.

Brother Hu, don't think about unhappy things. Think about happy things. That's all it takes for a person to rely on his wife. The most important thing is to live happily. My dad, you won't beat me to death.

Lao Hu and I laughed as we talked. The fat man had just put the two cars into the backyard and fixed the gate before he came back. He sat down on the sofa and said to us,"What are you talking about?" He smiled like this. I said, Lao Hu and I were talking about my dad beating me. Fatty said that's what happened. My dad often beat me when he was here. Now that he's gone, I don't have anyone to beat me anymore. Fatty still misses his parents. I hit the fat man on the arm. It's okay. Lao Hu and I are still there. If you like, we can take turns beating you. I do have a strong rattan upstairs.

The three people who said this all laughed. We really feel like it's too late to meet each other these past few days. There are many things we can talk about together. I proposed to eat Quanjude for dinner, and the three of us drank a lot. We chatted and walked home. I asked the fat man if he still had enough money. If not, he could take it from me first and wait for the collected items to be sold. Then give it back to me. The fat man said, that's enough. Now the food and drink are all yours, and I don't have much to spend. The 30,000 yuan from selling the jade pendant is enough to buy some things for the fellow villagers.

Hu Bayi said that these days I always eat Beibei's food. Don't be polite if I say it's okay. I don't plan to give you a salary, just use it as food money. It's all brothers who talk too much and are heretics. By the way, Lao Hu, have you thought about how to carry things on the motorcycle? You need to prepare bags and ropes in advance. When you finish shopping tomorrow, we have to figure out how to distribute the gifts and what else. Fill up the spare fuel tank in advance, otherwise you will be in trouble when you get to a place without a gas station. This car is very stable, and I can't push it.

Old Hu said, don't worry about this. I carry a lot of things in the army's economic department. It's difficult for me. Fatty and I will prepare the things you mentioned tomorrow. Okay, I'll look at the shop tomorrow. You two can go out.

The next day, Lao Hu and Fatty were busy all day and bought a lot of things. I was not idle either. I used the medicine in the space to prepare anti-snake and insect medicine for going up the mountain. I also brought my own ancient prescription. I was given rheumatism ointment because I heard from Lao Hu that the old village chief had severe rheumatism, so it’s not surprising that there are so many people here. I found the silver needle I used before and the commonly used pills from the space, put them into my pocket, and then put the Tang Hengdao I had used before on the desk. You still need to carry weapons with you, they will be useful to some extent....

I found a velvet bag, put the silver ball in it, and hung it around my neck.

After I finished my work, Fatty Lao Hu came back. It was almost dark when they came back, and it looked like they were coming back from dinner.

The next day we arranged the things we wanted to bring in the backyard, and then arranged the three cars. The rest was the matter of Lao Hu and Fatty. I didn’t care, I just put my backpack aside and talked with them. He said, I only need this one, just carry it with me. The fat man saw an extra stick on the side of my backpack and asked what it was. I took out the Tang Heng Dao and handed it to him. When he saw it, it was a knife. It was quite heavy. He took it out with both hands and asked me, how do you take a small knife? Japanese sword.

I rolled my eyes at him and said that it is terrible to be uneducated. That is not a Japanese sword. It is a Tang Hengdao, a real Chinese sword. The little Japanese sword was learned from China by a Tang Dynasty envoy, and then he changed it a little and said it was his own samurai sword. Mine is a real Tang Dynasty antique.

When I heard that it was from the Tang Dynasty, Lao Hu was also interested. It was from the Tang Dynasty. How was it preserved and still so sharp?

I took the knife back and put it back into the scabbard. In the Tang Dynasty, this knife was a standard sword for upper-level officers. It weighed eighty pounds. Later, the Tang general died in battle, and the knife was handed over to him. His descendant, that descendant was just a scholar and did not join the army, but he has always kept this sword well. During the Northern Song Dynasty, my ancestors rescued the descendants of this family, but that family really couldn't come up with the money, so they pledged this knife to my ancestors, saying that if the descendants recovered, they would come. Our family has been keeping this knife well since we redeemed it, because we were afraid that if someone came to redeem it and we couldn't get it out, wouldn't it be a breach of trust? But up to now, that family has not been found, and I don’t know if there are any descendants still alive.

There are so many stories behind a knife. Yes, every antique has its origin. The story inside is what really interests me.

Fatty said, it's quite interesting, but I think money is more interesting. Lao Hu and I have nothing to do with Fatty, a common man.

The next step was for Lao Hu to instruct us to sort, pack and install the things and then fix them on the motorcycle. Not to mention Lao Hu doing this, it was really convenient for traveling far away. Even if the road was to a temporary residence, putting them It is also very convenient to untie. I made a comparison with Lao Hu. Lao Hu has experienced a lot of harm, and people who have served as soldiers are different.

We are all looking forward to our trip tomorrow. Riding a motorcycle in summer is not comfortable. When we bought the car, the manager gave us a helmet and goggles. I specially found someone to buy three walkie-talkies and installed them on the front of the car so that it would be convenient to communicate with the front and rear cars.

In the evening we were sitting in the backyard enjoying the cool air. I asked Lao Hu, have you read the route? I don’t have a good sense of direction. You still have to be the first bus tomorrow. The fat man said what is the first car? Old Hu said to him, we have to have a car to take the lead. This way it is not safe to walk a long way. If someone goes the wrong way, you two just follow my car. I also found someone to get a share today. As for the road map, I will go back and sum it up in the evening. I need to plan the route, where the rest stops are, and how much I will walk in a day. I have done this before, so don’t worry, I will be ready.

I stood up, okay, you guys go to rest early. We will set off after breakfast tomorrow, and I went to rest too.
