Before writing about the secret discovered by Huang Qianshan, time has to go back to the night when they first arrived in Yugong Village, Wangwu Town. When Huang Qianshan and Lao Yue got out of the car, it was raining in Yugong Village, and the mud splashed on the ground made their pants all dirty.There was a man and a woman who came to pick up Lao Yue, the man was named Gu Changtian, and the woman was named Cai Minmin.Gu Changtian's appearance is fairly pleasing to the eye, his hair is neatly combed, and his clothes are orthodox, all of which are famous brands.Cai Minmin looks coquettish, with a thick layer of lipstick, enough powder on her face to make a bun, and her clothes are unambiguous, showing what should be exposed and what should not be exposed.As soon as Gu Changtian saw Lao Yue get off the car, he immediately took the heavy luggage considerately, his words were full of ambiguity. Although Huang Qianshan had limited audience, he could tell that Gu Changtian was Lao Yue's boyfriend.

Cai Minmin looked at Huang Qianshan and asked, "Sister Yue, is this the translator you mentioned?" Lao Yue introduced everyone to each other, Gu Changtian stretched out his hand, Huang Qianshan hesitated for a while before shaking hands.Gu Changtian didn't feel embarrassed, he smiled socially and said, "Mr. Huang, thank you for making a trip, if you need anything, just say it." "Don't worry, I won't be embarrassed to say it if I really need it." Huang Qianshan replied bluntly. "Let's go to the hotel first. Mr. Huang is tired after all the hard work." Lao Yue said to Huang Qianshan with a smile.

At this time, Cai Minmin handed Huang Qianshan a large bag in his hand, and said, "Mr. Huang, help me carry this thing, it's quite heavy." "I'm here to be an interpreter, not to make a bag." Huang Qianshan didn't give Cai Minmin any face, so Cai Minmin could only carry it by himself with a blushing face. "Minmin, are you referring to the newly bought tent?" Lao Yue asked curiously. "No, it's all Liang Xiaoyu's fault. She asked her to look at the things, but she lost all the things, which caused us to buy them again in the past few days. Some things can't be bought here at all." Cai Minmin complained.

"Minmin, you can't blame Liang Xiaoyu, she doesn't want to do this either, so don't talk to her when you go back later." Gu Changtian persuaded. "Forget it, I'm not a narrow-minded person, but I have to talk about her. If this happens again, tell her to go back first." Cai Minmin said angrily. The vegetation on Wangwu Mountain is lush and there is no dust. Even the cliffs are covered with green branches and green leaves.The forests in the mountains are dense, the clouds are misty, the sound of wind and water is accompanied by the hissing of insects and the singing of birds, and the air is cool and fragrant, refreshing and refreshing.The green roof and red wall of the former site of the temple loom in the forest among the mountains, all of which arouse people's infinite reverie.

Huang Qianshan has done many travel translations, and he is no stranger to Wangwushan. He knows that as early as thousands of years ago, Wangwushan was used by Li Bai, Du Fu, Bai Juyi, Cen Shen, Wang Wei, Zhang Ji, Huang Tingjian, Yuan Haowen, etc. Everyone praised it.Qiu Chuji wrote, "The mountains on all sides are like vassals, and suddenly the highest peak rises from the center. Every time I look at the sunny day and the shadows, I often say that the black dragon is lying in the cold pool." Li Bai has a summary. There is an old pen, so clear and strong!" The hotel that Gu Changtian and the others stayed in was the best one in Yugong Village. The people in the village were very easy-going. They could understand Henan dialect almost like Mandarin.The hotel owner and waiter knew that Lao Yue and the others were foreigners, so they all spoke Mandarin to them, but Huang Qianshan liked to listen to Henan dialect. He thought Henan dialect was very interesting, and asked the waiter to teach him a few words.

Lao Yue and the others each have their own room, and Huang Qianshan also lives in one room, but when they meet together, they all gather in Gu Changtian's room, which shows that Gu Changtian is the leader among them.That night, Lao Yue introduced another man and a woman to Huang Qianshan, they were all Lao Yue's friends.The man's name was Hao Dali, and he looked so scary that Huang Qianshan suspected that if he ran to the mountains in the northeast, he would definitely be shot by hunters as a black bear.There is also a woman named Liang Xiaoyu, who is quieter and less timid, and does not speak when meeting strangers.

"Mr. Huang, hurry up and translate for us, everyone can't wait." Cai Minmin said impatiently. "Don't worry, let Mr. Huang rest and translate tomorrow morning." Gu Changtian said to the others. "I have a question." Huang Qianshan raised his hand and asked, "Don't blame me for being troublesome, but can you tell me what you are doing? Don't be a gang that steals and sells cultural relics?" "It's too late for you to ask this. In fact, we are doing pyramid schemes! Since you have been cheated here, don't even think about going back!" Hao Dali said with a dark face.

Liang Xiaoyu whispered softly behind Hao Dali, "Dali don't talk nonsense." "Don't scare the guests!" Lao Yue glared at Hao Dali, and then she said to Huang Qianshan, "Mr. Huang, don't take offense, he just likes to talk nonsense." "We are a club similar to 'Tesorus Club', I don't think you have heard of it?" Cai Minmin said with a good feeling on the side. Huang Qianshan smiled, of course he had heard of Tesorus Club.It is far from enough for translators to have solid basic language skills. They must also master rich and comprehensive encyclopedic knowledge, such as professional knowledge, international knowledge, national conditions and local conditions, laws and policies, local customs, etc. They must know astronomy first and geography second. , erudite, familiar with all walks of life, in general is a miscellaneous - or know-it-all.

Tesorus Club is an amateur treasure hunting club from France. Treasure hunting craze started in France decades ago. Their slogan is "There may be treasure under everyone's feet". Solus Association" and "French Prospectors Association", the main work of these folk clubs is to ease the tension between treasure hunters and those archaeologists and government departments. For decades, archaeologists and governments have accused treasure hunters of prowling around, of not publishing their discoveries and of looting state property. In 1997, two French retirees were lucky enough to find 200 gold coins from the 17th century on the grass of a casino in Nancy.As soon as the news broke, an archaeologist accused them of exploring without permission; in the same year, an unemployed couple in Mangshi picked up a shiny metal that looked like an ancient coin while walking. Later, 81 ancient coins of the Gallo-Roman era were unearthed in that place.Not long after, some archaeologists unearthed another 70 of the same ancient coins nearby.The law stipulates that the two unemployed should be given half of all the discoveries, but the lawsuit took three years to conclude.

After hearing this, Lao Yue admired Huang Qianshan very much. She said: "Since Mr. Huang knows these things, can you rest assured?" "If you don't worry, I won't follow. I'm just asking casually." Huang Qianshan replied calmly. Lao Yue added, in fact, they didn't go for the baby, what they wanted was a feeling that Lao Yue's parents wanted to see Wangwu Mountain before they died, and Lao Yue did this only to fulfill their parents' dream.Huang Qianshan carefully read the relevant documents handed over by Lao Yue. They are indeed a legitimate club. All the cultural relics that have been excavated and cannot be kept are handed in, because some very old things are national treasures, and they must be kept privately or traded. criminally responsible.

"I have another question." Huang Qianshan continued, "You said that a group of people went to the mountains. Are they related to the murderer who killed Professor Li Guowei?" "Li Guowei is his teacher." Lao Yue helped explain to the other five people. Gu Changtian nodded to Lao Yue, and then said to Huang Qianshan: "To tell you the truth, more than half of the Wangwu Mountain Range is undeveloped for tourism, and few people enter the large mountain range west of Yugong Village. Teacher Li Guowei has already translated more than half of the manuscripts you have read. According to the previous part, it is mentioned that Yugong originally moved mountains in Yugong Village, but later he changed his position and dug mountains in another place. It is in the mountains to the west of Yugong Village. Yesterday, we found out that a group of donkey friends who claimed to be on foot went in, and most people would not dare to go there.” "There are tigers in the mountains, so they dare not enter?" Huang Qianshan asked curiously. "In the mountains there are..." "There is nothing in the mountains!" Gu Changkong interrupted Liang Xiaoyu, and said, "Let's handle the case to the police." "Whatever it is, with me here, there is nothing to be afraid of." Hao Dali patted his chest vigorously to assure him. Lao Yue said to Gu Changtian: "Don't worry, Mr. Huang is an interpreter, and we are not rivals. In fact, there is nothing scary in the mountains, but the locals said that a murderer escaped into the mountains five years ago. I haven't caught it yet, so the locals don't go into the mountain easily, and hikers will avoid it when they hear about it." "So that's the case. Well, if there is any news about Mr. Li's case, please let me know." Huang Qianshan paused for a while, and then asked again: "Miss Lao, didn't you say that there are five people waiting for you here? Is there a person?" "It's Changtian's younger brother, Gu Changkong. I also want to ask about others." Lao Yue asked Gu Changtian. Cai Minmin blew on his fingers that had just been painted with nail polish, and said, "He, he returned to Beijing early." "He was not acclimatized, vomiting and diarrhea, I let him go back first." Gu Changkong explained. "He's been clamoring to come, but he didn't expect that he'd languid as soon as we got out of the car. We must make fun of him when we get back." Hao Dali said with a smirk. "It's a pity, I remember he wanted to come very much." Lao Yue said regretfully. After talking for a long time, Huang Qianshan returned to his room. He could see that the five people were determined to enter the mountain.Now that their club is legal, he can't meddle in his own business, just translate the full script and walk away with the money.That night, when Huang Qianshan struggled to translate the last part, he got stuck. The previous content was almost all myths and legends, but the last content was difficult to understand.When Huang Qianshan was in a state of desperation, he compared the previously translated content with the original text again, but unexpectedly discovered a secret in the manuscript. Translators must be faithful when translating. The so-called faithfulness is to be faithful to the ideological content of the original work, and not to tamper, distort, omit or add or delete without reason. The most important point is to maintain the style of the original work.Huang Qianshan compared the original text of the previous manuscript, and he found that the Libeixi language in the front was extremely jerky and belonged to the usage of the last century, but the latter part was in a colloquial style, which did not match the style of the previous text at all.If you are not a full-time translator, it is difficult to discover this secret. The last part of the manuscript has many grammatical errors, and Huang Qianshan hardly knows how to translate it. Although Huang Qianshan translated it truthfully, he felt that the original manuscript must have been tampered with, but he was only responsible for the translation, so it was inconvenient to ask.Huang Qianshan felt that the ideas of this group of people were quite novel. Just based on his book, he dared to conclude that Yu Gong was not moving mountains, but digging mountains to find treasures. In fact, he really wanted to participate, after all, he also had curiosity.After Huang Qianshan had this idea, he couldn't control himself anymore. Babies were not what he was interested in. He just wanted to experience a new excitement. At worst, he could get a 50% discount on the reward. While Huang Qianshan was concentrating on translating, someone knocked on the door of his room. Huang Qianshan opened the door but saw no one, but there was a note pasted on the door.
