Chapter 113 Chapter 23 Recognition

Everything was so unbelievable, the memory of that year played back in my mind, and the time seemed as long as a year.However, when the medicinal properties of Manjusawa temporarily receded and I cleared up my consciousness, I realized that everything was only a matter of a minute or two.Holding my hot and cold head, I seemed to have been torn apart by time and space. After seeing the old curator Zha waking up, I said, "Old curator Zha, you finally woke up. We searched hard!" "You really are, how can Manjushahua eat whatever you want," Chen Jing scolded me before the old curator Zha said anything, but then her tone calmed down again: "Does the head still hurt? "

I didn't say a word, just shook my head, indicating that there was no serious problem.Because a lot of things came to mind in an instant, not to mention them, even I haven't fully accepted it, and God hasn't come back.Everything was so sudden, I didn't expect that a year's memory was really discarded in the past.Chen Jing...the same birthmark...in the same place...the same big bird pattern...could it be... how is this possible, I don't believe it! Chen Jing stared at me for a long time, and then asked Mr. Zha some things again.Chen Jing is really not an easy person. The old curator Zha woke up for less than a while, and he immediately got acquainted with others, really like a social butterfly.No, no, courtesan is a derogatory term, it should be a diplomat.While still thinking wildly, Chen Jing asked: "Uncle Cha, did Chen Jinwei's parents ever go to Africa, a long time ago?"

When I heard it, I was really shocked. Chen Jing would not have thought that... just heard the old curator Zha say: "A long time ago?" He thought for a while and then replied: "It was once, at that time, today Vi's mother is still pregnant with him." "What... what did you say?" I murmured in disbelief. "What's the matter, Jinwei, does your wound hurt? Then let's go out first and come to Xiao Lu later." The old curator Zha thought I was uncomfortable.So it was suggested.And wanted to come and help me. "No, it's not." I stopped, looked at Chen Jing, and then continued to ask, "My parents have been to Africa? They never told me about it. What did they go there for?"

"This..." Mr. Zha hesitated to speak, he just prevaricated, "It's nothing." "Then, Mr. Cha, do you know this kind of pattern? It's also on Jin Wei's head." Chen Jing was used to a cold look.But still very respectful to the elders. "This... I seem to have seen it, a long time ago." The old director Zha replied hesitantly, it seems that he himself is not sure, probably because of his age. "When you mentioned this, I remembered something." Xinhong, who had been quietly by the side, said suddenly.Everyone heard the news, so they all quietly waited for him to say the following things, and Xinhong also said with satisfaction: "I remember, Dad mentioned it, but I was still young at that time. They took a piece of paper before I was born. A trip to Africa. And it wasn't just the two of them, there were three others."

"Who is it?" Chen Jing and I asked at the same time. "It's Jinwei's parents, and the old curator Cha." Xinhong recalled vigorously, "I remember what he mentioned, and he also said that they experienced a lot of things there. It was thrilling, but the specifics I I don’t know. But, one thing I can be sure of is that Dad said that your mother was pregnant when she went to Africa again.” "I...pregnant..." I stuttered in shock, and then asked the old curator, "I... where was I born?" The old curator Zha looked bewildered, as if he didn't know much about the matter, he said with a little surprise: "In Africa, didn't your parents tell you before?"

I shook my head, wanting to say something but didn't know what to say, unexpectedly, Chen Jing spoke first: "Did Jin Wei's mother really give birth to him in Africa? Then..." Chen Jing did not say anything here Continuing on, she paused for a long time before saying: "Are they giving birth to twins? Twins, a boy and a girl?" Like a bolt from the blue, my world was shaken upside down, and Chen Jing finally said...the thing that I have been nervous about and avoiding...Could it be...maybe...possible, we are really brother and sister?Still immersed in the unbelievable, I heard the old curator Zha's answer: "Twins? I... this... I don't know."

How could such an important matter not be known, Mr. Zha is not kidding us!Didn't they go to Africa together, didn't my parents give birth to me in Africa, how could he not know!I felt that there was something famous inside, so I took a deep breath and asked, "Old Director Cha, why don't you know, didn't you go together, tell us quickly!" "We went together, that's right, but..." Old curator Zha was weak and gasped for breath, "They... when your mother gave birth to you, I wasn't there!" "How is it possible, those who went together, how could they not be there, they will always come back together." I was very disappointed with the old curator's answer.

"It's true. The old curator Cha is right. Not only the old curator Cha, but even my parents were not there. The situation at that time seemed very complicated." Xinhong's words made my heart extremely cold. There is only the sound of the waterfall in the cave hall, but it feels quieter this way. There is no danger here for the time being, and the underground flood has temporarily stopped, so Xin Hong and Mr. Cha told us what they knew.The old director Zha said that he was really surprised that I would ask him this question, because he always thought that his parents only had one child, and he never thought that there were two children.And Xinhong also answered in the same way, and her parents didn't mention it to him.The thing is probably like this, before I was born, it was the period of China's reform and opening up, the archaeological craze was on the rise, and small African countries were also actively establishing good relations with us.In that year, Director Zha and his team of five went to a small country in Africa to investigate newly discovered monuments due to the invitation of other countries.Originally, the monuments of a small African country had nothing to do with China, but this monument has something to do with China, so the small country took the opportunity to invite them and build a good relationship by the way.Later, they camped next to the monument for inspection.Once, the old curator Zha went deep into the ruins next to the monument.Later it disappeared.Everyone waited for a whole day and did not see the old curator Zha come back.The old curator said that his mother felt that the disappearance of the old curator had something to do with her, and that it was her dereliction of duty. The old curator didn't say what happened to the ruins.So, the stubborn mother and father let Xinhong's parents stay behind, and she and her father went to find the old curator.Who knows, they went there for more than a month, and Xinhong's parents were dying of anxiety, and the local government also helped to find them.However, due to the backwardness of local technology, nothing was found in the end.More than a month later.Mom and Dad hurried back with the old curator Zha, and they also brought a baby, which was me.They also left the small African country in a hurry that day, and everyone gradually forgot about it, and no one mentioned it again. However, when everyone saw the child, they thought there was only one child, and whoever went back guessed it was two , if there are two, why did you only take one back?

I was dumbfounded when I heard it. It turned out that my mother worked so hard when she gave birth to me.When I was ready to give birth, I had to look for someone in such a difficult place in Africa.It's just, what happened in that month at that time, how could it be a month?Xinhong told me that it was his parents who only explained that they got lost and found the old curator after a month.Director Zha said that he was in a coma at the time and didn't know anything. It was only after he woke up that he realized that a month had passed, and he also forgot why he disappeared. "Then...how did they eat and drink during the month they disappeared? Is there a village?" Chen Jinghong asked with eyes.

"Yes, I heard them say it, but they didn't say it in detail. Anyway, there are many tribes in Africa." The old curator Zha replied. "Are you going there just for research?" I asked. "Of course, what else can we do?" The old director Zha was a little guilty when he answered, he doesn't often lie, I can understand it just by looking at it. "It's just ordinary research. Things in ancient times were complicated. I told you that it took a long time. It's not the first time that Chinese relics have been found around the world. It's nothing surprising." Director Zha tried his best to hide his guilty conscience.

I saw that the old curator Zha was going to bury the words in his heart again, so I didn't plan to ask the bottom line. People are stubborn when they are old, and they won't say anything no matter how much they ask.I just asked "then if they live in an African tribe, why don't they ask the tribe to show them the way?" "Because of the closed tribe, they don't even know where they are." Mr. Zha replied calmly. "No one from the Hongya tribe knows how they got out of the village. Only a few people know, only those who want to go back to Tianshan for the sake of the village's livelihood." Chen Jing shed a tear as she spoke, "The village People told me that the Chinese couple surnamed Chen gave birth to two children, a boy and a girl. I told you when I was in Tianshan. There is one more thing you don’t know, that is, the Chinese couple told the Hongya tribe They are archaeologists, and besides me, the boy who was born at that time also had a red birthmark on the same part of his body!" "What's wrong, what's wrong?" I was afraid of making a mistake, so I asked nervously. "No, no." Xinhong panicked in a rare way, never before.This surprised me a little, what was going on, but now my attention is all on Chen Jing, and I don't have time to pay attention to his strange reaction. "You have a red birthmark on your body?" Old curator Zha asked. It seems that he couldn't believe that there is still my sister in a small country in Africa! "I have it too!" Chen Jing replied decisively, "Jin Wei, you are really my brother, I have suspected it for a long time!" "He used to have a red birthmark on his body, but..." Mr. Zha hesitated for a moment, "Maybe I was confused, I didn't expect that they gave birth to two children at that time!" I think the old curator Zha's answer is a bit strange, but I can't figure out why it is so strange, maybe there is some discrepancy.Acknowledging relatives is not a joke, you have to be more careful.So, I asked again: "What's the matter, don't I have a birthmark?" "You have lived with Xinhong for so long, ask him if there is any?" Old curator Cha put the question aside. "Yes... there is a birthmark, but..." Xinhong became more and more nervous, and finally he didn't even say a word. As soon as I heard it, I probably also became nervous, don't I have a birthmark on my body!This is impossible. When I was in school, I remember my mother always stroking my back and muttering to myself, so I was thinking about my sister in Africa.My mother will never lie to me, but Xinhong, who has lived with me for so many years, should see the birthmark on his back. Why is his answer so weird?It has never been so hesitant. "But what, if you have something to say, there are no outsiders here." I said anxiously, even if I have some scars on my body, there is nothing shameful. Xinhong doesn't need to keep it secret for me. Besides, there should be nothing on my back. scarred. "It's nothing, there is a birthmark, that's right, it was just bitten off by a fish and dragon just now." After finishing speaking, Xinhong couldn't help wiping the sweat that appeared on his forehead at some point. "Are you really my sister? I don't even know what to say. It's so unexpected. I thought I was alone all these years!" I wanted to cry, but I felt that I should maintain my demeanor in front of my new sister. So I held back. "It's really my brother. When I first met you, I felt very kind. I didn't expect to find my brother. I dreamed about it thousands of times when I was in Africa!" Chen Jing cried, crying loudly. Very powerful. "Don't cry, don't cry." I wanted to say a lot, but as soon as the words came to my mouth, they turned into words to coax children, and I felt that I was very naive. "Why did Mom and Dad leave me behind? What about them? Did you find them?" Chen Jing was obviously worried about being alone for so many years. "I don't know. I haven't seen them for so many years. They disappeared when I was ten years old." I said helplessly. "Just like last time?" Chen Jing's eyes were confused, "How could they disappear?" "Speaking of this, I have always wanted to ask the old curator Zha." I have never dared to face the fact that my parents disappeared, and I always thought that they would come back to me one day, but after so many years, there has been no news. I never asked Mr. Zha, the curator. "They disappeared when Jinwei was ten years old, and I don't know why?" Old curator Zha actually said he didn't know!He's too good at fooling around! "Master, please tell us!" Chen Jing became excited. "It's true. Back then, when they disappeared, they resigned from the library at the same time. There is no record in the library where they went, so I don't know!" He replied calmly, it seems that he did not lie.However, I was extremely shocked that my parents had already resigned at that time!I never knew about this matter, and I always thought it was a job sent by the library for them to go to other places for research!Why did they resign suddenly? Don't they love the work of archaeological research very much! ?
