It didn't matter that I was blown away by the cold wind blowing from the grassland. I finally regained my memory. Finally, I remembered my own causes and consequences and the so-called past and present lives. I also remembered what the old man who had carved the wrong inscription said.
I am told that I must never tell the truth. Even if you see through it, you still can't tell the truth.
It seems that it really came true today. Just now, if you dared to talk happily, you have already been killed.
I reminded myself, don’t forget, I still have the mission given by the old man during this time travel?
Even if I'm looking for something for the old man, the old man won't let me tell anyone about it, and I can never tell anyone about it. Having said that, not only would he not be able to return to his own dynasty, but he would also be facing a dead end.
Some people ask why I was chosen to travel through time instead of someone else.
I think there is only one reason, that is because I once touched something passed down from ancestors. Because I have special powers.
In the autumn of 1991, I was still a company clerk.
That day, our company was shooting at the seaside shooting range, and artillery fire continued all morning.
At this time, the company commander asked me: "Secretary, please ask the battalion headquarters, what time is it now, and can we take it back?"
"Bring it back" means that the entire company returns to the camp for lunch and dinner.
Because the sound of the May 7th artillery fire we fired was so loud, no one dared to wear a watch on the shooting range for fear of shattering the cover of the watch.
The company commander urged me to ask what time it was, but I didn't ask the battalion headquarters directly. I just looked up at the sky.
At this time, the sun was shining brightly above my head, and I blurted out: "Company Commander, it is 11:45 now."
Company Commander 185, a big man with a rough face, glared at him: "You're fucking talking nonsense. You're talking nonsense with white eyes. Ask the battalion headquarters, don't make ink marks!"
Seeing that the company commander didn't believe it, I obeyed the order and immediately shook the phone. The battalion headquarters responded: "11:45."
When he passed it to the company commander, he was shocked: "You're good, I guess you're right!"
Another summer, the company commander's family, that is, the daughter-in-law came to visit relatives in the team and went to our valley for vacation. We called her sister-in-law. Sister-in-law is the unified name we give to the family members who come to the team.
My sister-in-law is good at everything, she is beautiful, educated, and loving, but her biggest problem is that she is too forgetful.
One day she locked the key in the house.
When we came back from training, she was still standing at the company door with a guilty look on her face.
The company commander became impatient upon hearing this and turned around and said to me: "Clerical officer, go to the driving class and find someone to smash it open for me!"
Break it open?
At that time, most of the locks were open locks that had a release function. Once the lock head was broken open, it was useless.
What's more, I don't want to go to the driving class from the bottom of my heart, and I hate those "hanging soldiers". They "hanging soldiers" think that being "three feet above the ground" means they are superior to others, and they always look down on others. So I told the company commander: "Stop looking for tools, I'll drive them!"
"How do you drive?" the company commander asked.
I said: "Don't worry about how it opens, just open it!"
The company commander waved his hand.
I asked my sister-in-law to take the satchel, rolled up my sleeves, held the silver lock tightly with both hands, closed my eyes slowly, raised my head, one, two, three, and heard a "gaden" sound. The lock is unlocked. The company commander and his sister-in-law were stunned for a moment.
It was good this time. The company commander was shocked by my ability. After that, he told everyone how my clerk was so powerful and how he had special powers and could open locks with his bare hands. Not only was I famous in the ravines, but even the brigade headquarters stationed in the city knew about my skills.
After that, no matter whose lock was broken or the lock couldn't be opened, they came to me. Once, the safe under the seat of the head of the Finance Section of the Logistics Department couldn't be opened, and I opened it without using a key. I became the most famous soldier in the brigade at that time.
However, I am not sure about my good reputation.
As the saying goes, success depends on fame, and failure also depends on fame.
It was the spring of our third year as a soldier. Our troops had moved to a new suburb of the city and were responsible for the air defense security of the area under our jurisdiction.
On this day, I invited Xiao Xuzi to the street, because at this time, Xiao Xuzi's identity had changed, and he was no longer the same Xiao Xuzi. He has been transferred to the division headquarters and became a civil servant for the supreme commander of our army.
Big cities are much more lively than our valleys and suburbs.
There are high-rise buildings everywhere, and the streets are full of cars and people. Both of our eyes are exhausted.
We wandered aimlessly, heading north along a wide street, passing by an exhibition hall open to the public free of charge. The exhibition hall has tight security, and security checks are required when entering and exiting. We both felt so good that we wanted to go in and have a look.
The first and second floors of this exhibition hall are modern collections, and the third floor is the real ancient collection exhibition hall.
The exhibition hall on this floor occupies a large area, and the surrounding walls are very softly lit. Groups of glass cabinets are placed against the wall. Groups of valuable exhibits are displayed in the showcases.
There are swords with historical traces, porcelain full of patterns, and extremely rare maps marked with special symbols, etc. Most of them have never been seen before.
When we made a full circle and were about to go down the stairs, Xiao Xuzi and I were attracted by an object at the same time. It was a lying lamb, only as big as a palm. There are emerald green spots on the ocher background. If you look closely, you can see that the front half of this lamb has the head of a sheep, and the back half has the shape of a wolf dog. The two horns of the sheep are not stretched forward, but carried backwards. The base integrated with the sheep's body should be made of jade, about one finger thick. There is a label below: whirling Kunlun sheep. This lying Kunlun sheep looks particularly mysterious under the orange light.
Xiao Xuzi may be more interested than me. I pulled him several times but he didn't move.
So I whispered: "If you like it, I'll take it back for you!"
Xiao Xuzi was half a head shorter than me, but his eyes were big. He raised his head and glanced at the probe in the corner, and said softly, "How can I take it back?"
I said: "Go downstairs first!"
Xiao Xuzi listened to my words, turned around and walked downstairs.
Seeing him leave, I started to turn my back, blocked the glass with my military satchel, and slowly closed my eyes.
At this time, more and more people came to visit from the first and second floors of the exhibition hall. They talked and laughed and passed by us.
When we left the building and came to the bus stop, we squeezed onto the bus, and after we were seated, Xiao Xuzi leaned into my ear and said, "How are you doing?"
I focused on his longing expression, reached out to grab his chubby little hand, and pressed it hard on my military satchel.
Xiao Xuzi was startled, and suddenly pulled his hand back, his face turned red.
Seeing Xiao Xuzi's expression made me proud.
Xiao Xuzi had a serious look on his face. When he saw that no one was paying attention, he said: "I am just having fun with you, but you still take it seriously. This is G treasure. It is illegal to steal it. We are greedy for big things!" "
"But pull it down, is it that evil?" I didn't believe it.
"What should we do?" I asked.
Xiao Xuzi lowered his head and thought for a while, then raised his head and held my shoulders, saying in a low voice: "I'll find a way!"
"Give me this thing first. If nothing else happens, I will call you at noon tomorrow."
I have always admired my fellow countryman in my heart. He has a good brain and quick reactions. More than 300 of our fellow countrymen were all brought here by the same train. He was the only one who was transferred to the agency and served the supreme leader. Makes sense.
At noon the next day, Xiao Xuzi called me and asked me to meet at a crossroads in the camp.
His expression was extremely nervous, and he handed me a red plum cigarette in person and asked me to open it quickly.
I saw that there was no cigarette at all, just piles of hundred-dollar bills.
I was shocked, "Where did you get so much money? What did you give it to me for?"
Xiao Xuzi shushed and said, "I used your sheep's head in exchange for this. Listen to me, tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, your company will notify you to work in the cooking class. Don't say anything, just do it. I understand." No? These are enough, otherwise I will arrest you, do you understand?"
"I understand!" Seeing Xiao Xuzi's seriousness made me both excited and scared. It was so surprising to get so much money all at once. At the same time, I also knew that this time things would get serious.
Sure enough, the day after I got the banknotes, I received a notice from the company to step down from my clerical position at the company headquarters and go to the cooking class to feed pigs. If I feed pigs, I won't be able to become an advanced student, and I won't be able to get a place to take the military academy. All my long-awaited wishes of applying for the military academy, meritorious service, and becoming a volunteer to honor my ancestors all seemed to come to nothing at once. What surprised me even more was that all my previous abilities such as "opening locks with bare hands", "recognizing people across mountains", and "small handling" of moving objects with my mind were all out of action.
