Chapter 91 Chapter 1 The Predecessor of Yizhou

Xinhong's excited appearance made me wonder, did the old curator's letter mention Xinhong's mother?At this time, things from a few months ago came to my mind again.It was before going to Tianshan, we went to the museum to ask the curator about Uncle Zou, and it was raining that day.After we finished asking about the matter, we forgot to take an umbrella when we came out, so I went back to the office of the old curator Zha alone, but I heard him talking to himself at the door: "Xiao Zou has gone , Do you know? Your child has grown up too, should I tell your child about you, Xiao Lu?"

At that time, I didn't know who Xiao Lu was mentioned by the old curator. I only heard later that Xinhong's mother was called Lu Lihai, but he had never met his mother, let alone me.Therefore, at that time, I guessed that the "Xiao Lu" mentioned by the old curator was Xinhong's mother.Later, when we came back from Tianshan, we went to find the old curator again, and that time I heard him say: "Xiao Lu, how are you doing there..." I think that Xinhong's mother was originally a subordinate of the old director Cha. They had known each other when they were young. Something must have happened to Xinhong's mother, that is, Aunt Lu, but no one said it, even my parents. Aunt Lu was never mentioned.This time, Mr. Zha finally made up his mind, is he going to tell us the truth of the matter?Perhaps, the old curator Zha saw that Uncle Zou had left, and he himself was dying, and what he didn't say would be buried in the ocean of time forever.

"How is it? What did the letter say?" Seeing Xinhong's surprised look, I couldn't help asking curiously. "Look for yourself, I...I don't know how to tell you." Xinhong looked very excited, it seems that the content of the letter is quite important. After I took the letter, I read it slowly.The content is as follows: "Xinhong, your father has already left. He has never mentioned your mother to you. In fact, your mother left you when you were just one month old. The leaving here is not the one Meaning, don’t get me wrong, at that time, a group of six of us came to Guangxi, which is related to the research, because we made a discovery in a research. Jinwei’s parents, your parents, and me, all went there excitedly. Yes. This is a small town with a very strange history, and many strange things happened afterwards. Until then, we experienced many dangers, but your mother never appeared again. We waited outside for a long time, you Your father was there for a year. Finally, when they couldn't find it, everyone decided to hide the sad incident and no one mentioned it again. Now that your father is gone, I think you should I have the right to know about your mother. At that time, we didn’t have the courage to look for it. This time, I decided. I must go back. Even if I can’t find me, I will try. This is what we owe Xiaolu! Now it’s time to pay back Already!"

"This...it turns out that Aunt Lu is in Guangxi!" I exclaimed. "But. I don't know her..." Xinhong hesitated to speak, but he couldn't say a complete sentence. I know what Xinhong is trying to say.I don't know if Aunt Lu is dead or alive. After all, more than twenty years have passed. If Aunt Lu is still alive, why doesn't she come back?Maybe it is no longer in this world, which is exactly what Xinhong is worried about.I think the person in the world who can understand Xinhong best is me, because my parents also disappeared more than ten years ago, but I was also afraid that the final answer would be unacceptable, so I never dared to face it , and have been deliberately not thinking about it.However, what Xinhong has done in the past few months has been stimulating me, and I have also decided that after a while, I will also look for my parents.

"Don't worry about this or that, first call and ask if the old curator is back." I patted Xinhong who was confused, and pretended to be relaxed. Xinhong hurriedly picked up the phone, and after a while of nervousness, he called the museum where Uncle Zou used to work, but the answer there disappointed us. The old curator has not heard from him for a long time. They said that the old curator Retired and traveling now, no one knows where he went.We panicked now, did something happen to the old curator?An old man went all the way to the deep mountains of Guangxi, and it was no wonder that nothing happened. I couldn't help complaining.

"Let's go out again. Anyway, our museum has not been built yet, and there is still a lot of time." Xinhong said what I was most worried about.I couldn't stand the exhaustion of several months at first, and now I just wanted to take a good rest, but I didn't expect to go to Guangxi again. "Okay, then..." I asked hesitantly, "When will I go?" "Tomorrow!" Xinhong answered very simply. "You're not mistaken, right now, we don't even know where the old curator has gone, so we have to find out before going, okay?" I was extremely reluctant to leave my warm and comfortable home right away.

"I know where he went." Xinhong said. "No way, why didn't I see it?" I picked up the letter and read it again. The letter didn't say where the old curator had gone. How did Xinhong know? "Don't read that letter anymore, he went to Yizhou in Guangxi!" Xinhong said in one breath. "Yizhou? Where is it? I haven't heard much about it, but how do you know?" I asked puzzled. "Before you came to live with us, Dad took me to Guangxi several times, and each time he only went to one place, which was Yizhou, and every time he went, he looked very depressed. Now I think When I got up, I found out that I was going to see if my mother was still there. But, I couldn’t find it every time.” Xinhong became a little sad as he spoke.

I am the person who is most afraid of seeing other people look sad, and I feel hairy all over when I look at it.So, I said: "Okay, okay, I will go tomorrow, but I have to prepare something first." The letter stated that they went there twenty years ago to do some research. All they could do was related to historical relics, but they disappeared and did not report to the police. Maybe there are some things in it that are shady.previous adventures.We suffered a lot because we didn't bring suitable equipment, so we have to make good use of the current weapons this time.Guangxi is a karst landform, with unimaginably many caves, and there are often caves as deep as a thousand meters. Since the archaeologist is missing, of course he will be in the deep mountains, and some equipment must be brought.In fact, we have also listened to some expedition training courses. It seems that the SRT technology we learned at that time had to be used.

SRT is the abbreviation of Single Rope Techniques in English, and we call it "Single Rope Technique" in China.This is a technique that enables free movement up and down on a single rope.it appears.To enable human beings to go deeper into the unknown world has become the content that must be mastered for insight and exploration.Explorers are proud of being able to reach a vertical depth of 1,000 meters underground.Now the 1000-meter record has been broken, but the challenge of vertical depth has not stopped and will not stop. SRT technology is serious and disciplined.All kinds of irregular operations may have fatal consequences.Therefore, fans of SRT technology set up the idea of ​​safety and cooperation from the beginning, so that they can truly experience the excitement and fun it brings.

The equipment of SRT technology can not be sloppy at all, and nothing can be missing.I packed them carefully one by one. These things include hand ascender, GO threaded lock (A), GO threaded lock (B), pedals, main lock, caving safety belt, D-shaped buckle lock , handle lock, chest ascender, adjustable strap, descender, O-shaped threaded lock, helmet.These equipments are very complicated to maintain, and if you really want to go down into the cave, you have to be very careful.Of course, this time I have to bring a Swiss army knife, which is the most convenient thing in the expedition.Be able to protect yourself and handle some trivial things.With the perfect preparation this time, our trip to Guangxi should not be as hard as the previous few times.

After we got our stuff ready, we went to rest.I didn't expect Xinhong's mother to have such a thing. I don't know if she is still alive?What is Yizhou, Guangxi like?It is good for us to study history. As long as each place is a little famous in history, we can definitely find it in our materials.I got up and looked through my library.It turned out that a famous person came out of this place. I think anyone who studies ethnic minorities knows that this Yizhou is actually the hometown of the famous Liu Sanjie. No wonder it was so easy for me to find it. Yizhou, Guangxi is rarely heard of, but it is an ancient city with a history of more than 2,100 years, located in the west-central part of Guangxi.This is what the book says: Yizhou was established in 111 BC (the sixth year of Yuanding, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty), and it was named Dingzhou County at that time.In the Han Dynasty, only this county was established in the north-central and northwestern regions of present-day Guangxi, and the county seat was in present-day Yizhou City.After the Han Dynasty, the name of the county changed.The Three Kingdoms and the Western Jin Dynasty were named Longgang County; the Southern Dynasties and Song Dynasty were named Longding County; Tang Dynasty was named Longshui County; Song Dynasty was named Yishan County.Yishan County was extended to September 8, 1993 (after September 9, Yishan County was withdrawn and Yizhou City was established).From 630 A.D. (the fourth year of Zhenguan in Tang Dynasty) to 1957, for more than 1300 years, Yishan County was the capital county of the prefectures, counties, prefectures, roads, divisions and administrative regions of all dynasties.Because the county is an important military town, many prominent celebrities in the past dynasties may have been relegated due to appointment or relocation.Or leave the county due to investigation and detention.In the Tang Dynasty, Yangqing, the king of Hejian, Li Xiuci, the king of Hanyang, Zheng Yuanru, the general of Zuowuhou, and Wu Huaizhong all served as governors of Yizhou.Stationed in Jieyi County (when Yishan County was subordinate to Yizhou as the state government).Wu Huaizhong was the first to convert the earthen city of the Han Dynasty into brick and stone buildings, making the city of Yishan take shape. This Yizhou has been visited by many historical figures.Historical celebrities such as Huang Tingjian, a great writer and calligrapher in the Song Dynasty, Zhu Chongwen, Emperor Hui of the Ming Dynasty, Xu Xiake, a famous geographer, and Shi Dakai, the winged king of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, have all been here. There are also some ancient footprints, which aroused my interest even more. I took the book and read it with gusto, but after thinking about checking the letter from the old curator, I felt that there was a problem that we missed!In the letter, didn't the old curator Zha say that there were six people?He only named my parents, Xinhong's parents, and himself, but there were only five of them, so who would be the other one?
