Chapter 1566
Brother Yu said with a smile: "It's getting cold. I'll cook some pork ribs for everyone at noon. I bought the pork liver because it looked fresh."
"It's a pity that I won't be able to come back at noon. Remember to leave some leftover for me in the evening. I'll come back and heat it up myself."
Brother Yu smiled and said no problem.
I went to the copy shop and advertised for a few hundred cents.
The slogans printed on them were all the same, "Purchase old books and county records from home at a high price in cash", with my phone number at the bottom.
I spent 300 yuan to find two people, and I asked them to post advertisements, focusing on the old houses where people live in the old city. This is a method like waiting to find a needle in a haystack.
At noon I went to the antique market and bought more than ten old county chronicles in a store. After drinking tea with the boss, I became friends. He has been operating in the local circle for decades and knows many people. Through him, I spread the word. Say I charge a high price for such things.
Every city has local chronicles. There are two types of local chronicles. One is written by the leaders who were officials at the time. This major involves agriculture, water conservancy, architecture, Feng Shui, food, etc.
The other kind should be called "partial ambition", but this one is more complicated.
At that time, he wrote about everything, including all kinds of gossip stories, beauties and talents, Feng Shui legends, romantic news, anecdotes and strange records. The writers insisted that what they recorded were all things they had heard or seen.
This kind of ancient book was easy to collect in those days, but it is not easy to collect it now.
Because many local chronicles also record the locations of many "unknown ancient tombs", tomb robbers can often analyze clues from them and become rich overnight.
As I said, as long as you are willing to pay, someone will give it to you. On the first day, we received dozens of local chronicles, ranging from the Song Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty. Many of the books were too bad to be read. They were all true. This thing It wasn't fake back then, so it's worthless.
Late at night, in a hotel room.
"Boss, look at this passage."
I put my reading glasses on my head and took it over to read. This local chronicle is called "Dingli Chronicles" and was written by a man named Yu Sheng in the Yuan Dynasty.
The first half of the book is useless, it's a mess, but at the back of the book, there is such a thing recorded.
"Xiao Sheng had free time in the past, so he rode his horse for a night trip. At midnight, he walked to the south of Diao Ma City. Suddenly he saw a horse team and dozens of strange people. They all had beards and shaved heads, and wore animal clothes. They looked like wild beards. Like a disaster victim, I was afraid that I would ask where I came from, and I would be intimidated and driven away. I followed him to the east of the city, and saw that there were more than 20 wooden boxes on the truck. He carefully inspected the tracks, fearing that they weighed more than a thousand kilograms, and walked for more than a mile to the foot of the mountain. On the riverside, a heavy fog suddenly appeared, and the strange man disappeared into the mountains and forests without a trace. When he recalled it later, he thought it was the passage of Yin soldiers."
I made this up, the book has long since disappeared, and I can’t remember the original text clearly, but it’s almost the same.
It means that a man named Yusheng was busy at night and went for a walk on horseback. Diao Ma City was the ancient Kangding County. He saw a strange carriage team in the south of the city, which looked like barbarians and disaster victims. He asked where you came from. Yes, people drove him away.
Yu Sheng refused to give up and followed on foot. He saw more than 20 large boxes on the car. Because of the deep wheels, he thought the boxes were very heavy. Then suddenly there was a heavy fog! When he came out of the heavy fog, he was surprised to find that the weirdos and the cavalry had disappeared. Looking back the next day, he thought he had encountered a Yin soldier taking advantage of the passage at night, so he recorded the whole incident in a book.
After reading it, he raised his head and frowned and said, "The cavalry and the weirdos written in this book should be the party members who escaped that year. They may be nobles, but where did the box go?"
"Yes! Where are the more than twenty big boxes?!"
They escaped from Zhongxing Mansion in Ningxia at that time, so it was impossible to bring nothing with them. Maybe those big boxes contained gold and silver treasures from the Xixia Palace!
There were still many local journals that I had not read, so I got up and told the boss to go find some food and then come back and continue reading.
I went into the kitchen and opened the lid of the pot and searched everywhere. Brother Yu said he would leave stewed ribs for me tonight, but he couldn't find it.
"Brother Yu, have you slept yet?! There's nothing to eat in the kitchen."
There was no response when I knocked on the door, so I guessed it was at Ah Chun's place. I went down to the second floor and looked inside through the crack in the door.
There were no lights on in the room, but a dim bedside lamp was on.
Ah Chun's back was turned to me. She was kneeling on the ground with bare feet and her hands seemed to be holding something to chew.
I pushed the door open and went in doubtfully.
"Sister Chun, what are you eating?"
Hearing my voice, Ah Chun was obviously stunned.
She turned her head little by little.
