Chapter 84 Chapter 1 The Predecessor of Yizhou

We narrowly escaped death in the South China Sea, and knew that Uncle Zou's death was related to Lin Yue's organization, but Lin Yue escaped from the island that sank into the South China Sea first.We came back from the South China Sea and found several letters.We sent these letters back from Yongxing Island, but Uncle Tian, ​​who organized the trip to the South China Sea, sent a letter to our address. Xinhong opened the letter, and we glanced at it, but we didn't expect that Xinhong's mother was mentioned in the letter.Since I was sensible, I have never met Xinhong's mother, and Xinhong never mentioned it, not even my parents.Xinhong said that he knew his mother's name was Lu Lihai, but he didn't know anything else.Xinhong's mother is a subordinate of the old curator Cha, and they have known each other since they were young. I think the only one who can understand what happened to Aunt Lu is old curator Cha.Perhaps, the old curator Zha saw that Uncle Zou had left, and he himself was dying. If he didn't say anything, the matter would be buried in the ocean of time forever.But why is he going to Guangxi? Could it be that Aunt Lu is in Guangxi?

"Well, what did the letter say?" I couldn't help asking curiously when I saw Xinhong's surprised look. "Look for yourself, I...I don't know how to tell you." Xinhong looked very irritated, it seems that the content of the letter is quite important. After I received the letter, I read it slowly, and the content was as follows: "Xinhong, your father has already passed away, and he has never mentioned your mother to you. Actually, when you were just full moon, you Your mother left you. The meaning of leaving here is not that, 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. Jin Wei’s parents, Your parents, and I, went there excitedly. This is a small town with a very strange history, and there are many strange things there. Until later, we experienced many dangers, but your mother never Appeared, we waited outside for a long time, and your father also stayed there for a year. Finally, we couldn’t find it, so everyone decided to hide this sad thing, and no one mentioned it again. Now , your father left, I think you should 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 that I must go back. Even if I can't find me, I will give it a try. This is We owe Xiaolu! Now it's time to pay it back!"

"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 wants to say, I don’t know if Auntie Lu is dead or alive, after all, it has been more than 20 years now, if Auntie Lu is still alive, why doesn’t she come back, maybe she is no longer in this world, this is Xinhong worry about things.I think the person in the world who can understand Xinhong the most is me, because my parents have also disappeared, and they disappeared more than ten years ago, but I am also afraid that the final answer will not be acceptable, so I have never dared to face it, and have been deliberately Don't think about it.However, what Xinhong has done in the past few months has been stimulating me, and I have also decided to find my parents after a while.

"Don't worry about this, but 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?I couldn't help complaining that an old man ran all the way to the deep mountains of Guangxi, so it's no wonder nothing happened.

"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 was very sad. Now that I think about it, I know He went to see if his mother was still there. But, he couldn't find it every time." Xinhong said disappointedly.

I was most afraid of seeing others sad, so I agreed: "Okay, okay, I will go tomorrow, but I have to prepare something first." The letter stated that they went to Yizhou 20 years ago to do some research, which must be related to historical sites, but they disappeared later and did not call the police. Maybe there are some things in it that are not visible.In the previous adventures, we suffered a lot because we didn't bring suitable equipment. This time we have to make good use of the equipment of civilized society.Guangxi is a karst landform with unimaginably many karst caves. There are often karst caves as deep as a kilometer. Since the archaeologists are missing, of course they will be in the deep mountains. 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 technique in English, we call it "single rope technique" in China.This is a technique that enables free movement up and down on a single rope.Its appearance has enabled humans to go deeper into the unknown underground world, and it has become a must-have content for cave 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.These equipments are very complicated to use, and if you really want to go down into the cave, you have to be very careful.I thought to myself, with the perfect preparation this time, our trip to Guangxi should not be as hard as the previous few times.

After getting things ready, we went to rest.I was lying on the bed, full of thoughts. I didn't expect Xinhong's mother to have such a thing. I don't know if she is still alive?What kind of place is Yizhou?It is good for us to study history. As long as each place is slightly famous in history, it can be found in the materials.I got up and looked through my book collection. I thought it would take a long time to find it, but I didn't expect to find me the historical materials about Yizhou, Guangxi right away.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 is located in the west-central part of Guangxi. Although it is not well-known, it is an ancient city with a history of more than 2,100 years.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 called until 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.As the county is an important military town, many prominent celebrities in the past dynasties left the county either because of their appointments, relocation, inspections, or detainment.In the Tang Dynasty, Yangqing, King of Hejian, Li Shu, King of Hanyang, Zheng Yuanru, General Zuowuhou, and Wu Huaizhong all served as governors of Yizhou and were stationed in Yishan County (at that time, Yishan County was subordinate to Yizhou as the prefectural 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.

Many historical celebrities have been to this Yizhou, such as the great writer and calligrapher Huang Tingjian of the Song Dynasty, Ming Huidi Zhu Chongwen, the famous geographer Xu Xiake, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom wing king Shi Dakai and other historical celebrities. , which piqued my interest even more. I took the book and read it with great interest, but suddenly thought of the letter from the old curator Zha, and then I felt that there was a question that had been missed!In the letter, didn't Director Zha say that six people had arrived in Guangxi?He only named my parents, Xinhong's parents, and himself, but there were only five of them, so who would be the other one?
