Chapter 144 Chapter 3 Recording

The resignation report was all a formal statement, without detailed information. The reason for resignation was that the parents had suffered from a disease and were no longer suitable for archaeological work, so they resigned.I really can't figure out what illness my parents have. At least I can't see that they got sick more than ten years ago. They were all healthy before they left, and there was no sign of illness.Xinhong thought for a while after reading it, but when I asked him what he thought of, he shook his head and said nothing. We looked at the other files in the folder again, which all recorded the work records of the parents since they took office, but among so many records, only the records in Africa that year were missing.Except for the record in Africa, everything else looks normal and nothing suspicious.Even the records in Guangxi were clearly written. Although some places are inconvenient to describe, at least they have been mentioned briefly, which is better than the lost records in Africa.We looked carefully at other materials and books, and found that most of the materials on a bookshelf were related to the worship of black birds in ancient times.I wondered in my heart, what is the meaning of the old director Zha's hint of doing so?Did he leave it to us to make up the missing records?Over and over again, I looked at the relics of Director Zha, the missing African records, and the whole bookshelf about the worship of black birds. Mr. Zha wanted to use the lost documents and these books to tell us about the things about our parents and about Africa. For the record, is the cult of the black bird related?

It took Xinhong and I a whole day to transport all these books and documents back to Uncle Zou's home. Now there are only Xinhong and me in this group of people, and the house in my hometown suddenly became much more empty.For half a year, we took care of the house and trivial matters in the neighboring provincial capital. The old curator’s friend also helped us arrange a temporary job in the museum where our parents worked, so life was not a problem.During this period of time, we also read the materials left by the old curator two or three times, and learned more about the worship of the black bird.We also took advantage of this time to ask many elders, but the people who went to Africa back then either died or disappeared, and the relevant information even disappeared.

The girl Chen Jing also stayed in the museum to help through her relationship, and she immigrated back to China smoothly, and lost contact with the Hongya tribe in Africa.I asked her what she did with the flag flowers she found in Guangxi. She just smiled and said that she went to Outer Mongolia. As for what it was, she kept refusing to say clearly.I also asked Chen Jing about things in Africa, but what she told me about the Red Cliff Village didn’t have any useful information, they were all very common things. The work report is gone, what are they trying to hide? During this period of time, I originally wanted to ask Chen Jing to do a DNA test with me, to scientifically confirm whether it was a brother-sister relationship, but it was inappropriate for her to do so, so I didn't speak for half a year.Although my back has healed, there are no birthmarks, so there is no way to confirm.I kept a comb used by my mother with her hair on it. In order not to alarm Chen Jing, I decided to secretly remove one of her hairs, and then took her and my mother's hair to the hospital. The DNA test confirmed that Chen Jing was really her mother's daughter.I feel much more at ease. I thought there would be some mistakes, but now that science has confirmed it, I have nothing to worry about.Fortunately, I did all this in secret, and Chen Jing didn't know it. If I took her to do the appraisal and it turned out that we were brother and sister, then I would have a hard time in the future, and I might be punished by her all my life. Crowned with the name of serious suspicion.

Half a year has finally passed after an unbearable wait. In the past six months, the three of us have lived in harmony. This feeling is what I have been pursuing for more than ten years—the feeling of home.Although Chen Jing is a young girl, she doesn't mind living with two men, not to mention that I am her brother, and in the past six months, I feel that Chen Jing and Xinhong are gradually getting together.On a dazzling sunny afternoon, we finally received a notification from Professor He Kai that everything was ready and we would officially go to Qiangtang No Man's Land.Professor He Kai told Xinhong on the phone that we will wait for them in Lhasa, and then tell us the route and related matters there.

One night, the three of us were preparing our own things, no one had time to pay attention to each other, and we all nestled in our own rooms.After packing up, I sat on the bed hesitantly, not knowing how to find my parents, whether it would be useful to go to Qiang Tang this time, and whether I could find some information, these are all unknown answers.However, when the old curator passed away, he deliberately left the materials to us. Those materials are related to the worship of the mysterious bird, and the mysterious characters are also related to the mysterious bird, and the mysterious characters actually exist in Qiangtang, which is far away from Guangxi. , the mysterious connection between them, I am afraid that if you don't go to Qiangtang, you will never find the answer.

I got up to relax my muscles and bones, and seeing the other two people still dawdling to pack their luggage, I rummaged through my childhood things.My childhood toys were all in a box, many of them were still new, because I never touched those toys after my parents disappeared, because every time I saw them, I was sad.There was a radio in the toy, which my dad bought me when I was five years old, which was considered a luxury item back then.When I saw this radio, I could only visualize the last time I used it.It was one night, and since that night, the parents have disappeared.Thinking of this, I suddenly thought of one thing.

They were talking in the room, and I was playing with the radio outside the room, and I put a blank tape in there and recorded something, but I haven't taken it out for years.I was young at the time, and my memory is not very clear. I don’t remember what they said. What if the radio recorded the conversation back then?When I thought of this place, I was very excited. I didn't expect that my childhood toy was the only clue so far. Because it has been more than ten years, and the quality of the recorder is not very good, there is a lot of noise in the tape.I listened to it many times, but only heard my own voice.At this time, Chen Jing and Xinhong walked in, I signaled them to keep their voices down, and then continued to listen to the tape. They knew the reason of the incident, and they also calmed down and followed me to listen to the tape carefully.

The three of us listened carefully for many times and failed to hear the conversation between our parents. Everyone was very disappointed. Chen Jing and Xinhong wanted to tell me to give up, but I was reluctant to find this rare clue. Maybe it was the only clue. .When I was in a dilemma, I thought of my college days again.Every time there is a problem, many people will think of their teacher, but what I think of at this time is Teacher Ye, although he has passed away.Teacher Ye used to be a criminal investigator. He also told me about the cases solved by using audio recordings. He also introduced a friend from the Criminal Investigation and Forensic Center to me. That friend is very kind. sound can be identified.

The contact information of that friend happened to be recorded in the address book, so I contacted him immediately, and after a lot of hard work, good and bad, he was willing to help.I rushed to my friend overnight, and he took the tape to the forensics center, and he returned the separated voice to me in no time.After the friend's analysis and clear processing, the parents' voices were finally filtered out.However, because of the environment and the quality of the tape recorder at the time, the friend only filtered out a conversation between the parents: "I really hate the child. I finally gave birth to him, but threw him so far away." "No Way, don’t think too much, we will go to Qiang Tang tomorrow, this is the only way to cure our disease.”

Xinhong and the others were startled when they heard it, but I fell into a deeper fog.What did the parents mean by this conversation?My mother said she couldn't bear to part with me, and she couldn't bear to leave me far away. Am I not at home?Did she say that the place she was going to was too far away from here, so she said she left me far away?What my father said confuses me even more. He said to go to Qiangtang, and this place is exactly where we are planning to go. What a coincidence, and there are those mysterious words there.Maybe we will actually run into missing parents on this trip, although I may not be able to recognize them after a long absence.I still don't understand what kind of disease they have. Could it be that modern science can't cure them? How could they, as scientific workers, pursue such nothingness?I racked my brains and didn't come up with any clues. It seems that my parents need to tell me all the answers, so that the truth can be revealed.

"Don't think too much, take a good rest, and go to Lhasa tomorrow. You have been there before, neither of us has been there. I don't know if we can adapt to the plateau climate there." Xinhong smiled at Chen Jing after finishing speaking . "When I went there, I almost lost half my life. If you are afraid, then don't go. It's none of your business anyway." I dissuaded. After all, the situation in Qiangtang No Man's Land is unknown. How can I feel sorry for them if I lose my life. "Why is it not my business? Do you know how many years I have been looking for my parents, and I finally found a brother. Why does this brother keep forgetting that I am his sister?" Chen Jing complained. "Okay, okay, I won't argue with you guys anymore. It's not fair that I'm always singled out by two people. Just take care of yourselves." After I finished speaking, I drove them out of my room, so as to save the two of them from going to bed again. On and on. In the dead of night, I listened carefully to the conversation in the tape, "I really hate the child, I finally gave birth to him, but threw him so far away." Go to Qiang Tang, this is the only way to cure the disease." I pondered over what my mother said, she said that she finally gave birth to a child, but left the child far away, maybe this child is not referring to me, Not "he", but "she", referring to Chen Jing!In this way, with the confirmation of my parents, Chen Jing is really my sister.The only thing left was my father's words that kept me awake at night. They are all people who are not afraid of life and death. Is it really for the purpose of going to Qiang Tang to cure a disease?So many years have passed, have their illnesses been cured, and are they still somewhere in the no-man's land of Qiangtang?
