Chapter 5 Chapter 4: Mysterious Whereabouts in Five Years

Ma Jinhua is back. That night, Ma Zuimu had fully regained his sobriety. Although he looked thin and haggard, he could already stand upright, and his voice was still loud and majestic. The entire Mashi Ranch, as well as nearby people in contact with the Mashi Ranch, heard the news, and hundreds of bonfires were ignited in the open space of the Mashi Ranch, whose tongues were higher than people, and they were slaughtered in one afternoon. There are more than two hundred cattle and sheep. These cattle and sheep were cut in half and roasted on the bonfire, giving off a mouth-watering aroma. With the addition of jars of wine, the seals were knocked open. Afterwards, the smell of wine suppressed the smell of sweat from thousands of people. Everyone who could come rushed here, and the news spread quickly: Ma Jinhua was back.

In front of the building of Ma's Ranch, the people gathered were those who knew that they were of a higher status and were closer to Ma's Ranch or Ma Zuimu. The one standing closest to the gate was Zhuo Changgen. Ma Zuimu called out Ma Jinhua's name, and Ma Jinhua supported him and walked inward. When she stepped across the threshold, she turned around and said to those who gathered at the door who wanted to follow in: "Everyone, Dad and I have a little Speaking of which, Dad's body looks very weak, please don't bother us." Ma Jinhua said that everyone who wanted to follow in had to wait outside the door, including Zhuo Changgen.

Ma Jinhua and Ma Zuimu went in and never came out again. The grand celebration was decided after discussion between Zhuo Changgen and several veterans.More and more people gathered in the open area, and everyone's heart was full of questions: Where has Ma Jinhua been in the past five years? It wasn't until it was dark and the first quarter moon rose that Ma Jinhua and Ma Zuimu came out together again. When Ma Zuimu appeared, he was full of energy, and everyone was happy from the bottom of their hearts.Ma Zuimu walked forward, and Ma Jinhua followed him until he came to the center of the crowd. Ma Zuimu raised his hand and announced in a loud voice he hadn't heard in a long time: "Jinhua is back, but she will come back immediately." to go."

He paused for a while when he was talking, thousands of people were silent, wanting to know where Ma Jinhua was going immediately. At this time, nine out of ten people thought that the place Ma Jinhua was going to must be where she had been for the past five years.But what Ma Zuimu said next was beyond everyone's expectation. After a pause, Ma Zuimu's voice became louder: "Jinhua is going to school, go to school in Beijing." For a moment, everyone was stunned.The distance between these rough people who grew up on the prairie and the matter of "going to school" is too far, and they cannot even be connected mentally.

Zhuo Changgen, for a while, couldn't figure out what "Go to Beijing to go to school" meant. Everyone was stunned, and Ma Zuimu said loudly again: "Today is the day when our father and daughter reunite. Everyone should Be happy for us, whoever eats and drinks less is a bear!" As soon as Ma Zuimu said these two words, there was a cry immediately.Although everyone has doubts in their hearts, the thick guy has a straightforward personality, and they all feel that Ma Zuimu is so happy and satisfied with his daughter's return, and it is superfluous to ask about other things.

Then, everyone drew out their knives and cut the cooked meat, and poured out bowls of wine from the jars, and all the people fell into frenzied joy. Ma Zuimu came to Zhuo Changgen who was hiding in a dark corner and did not participate in the carnival.Both of them didn't speak for a while, and then Ma Zuimu spoke first: "Changgen, these past few years, it's been hard for you." Zhuo Changgen was agitated for a while, but he tried his best to keep his tone as flat as possible: "Why does the host still say such unreasonable words to me?" Ma Zuimu sighed: "Chang Gen, you must think that I have talked with Jin Hua for a long time, and that Jin Hua has told me everything that happened in the past five years?"

Zhuo Changgen didn't answer, but turned his head away, not looking at Ma Zuishi.Ma Zuimu sighed again: "Chang Gen, no, she didn't tell me anything, she just told me not to ask, she just said she was going to school." Zhuo Changgen turned around, his voice could no longer conceal the excitement in his heart: "Master, are you...will you ask?" Ma Zuimu smiled wryly: "Of course not. If this mystery is not solved, I will not be willing to die, but since she said so, do you think I should ask or not?" Zhuo Changgen smiled wryly: "Of course...you can't ask any more."

Ma Zuimu breathed a sigh of relief, and put his hand on Zhuo Changgen's shoulder: "That's it. Besides, she's back, she's grown up, and she looks good. This is my dream for five years. What more can I ask for? Well, really... there is nothing more to ask for. She refuses to say, there must be her reasons. " Zhuo Changgen murmured: "I just want to know the reason." Ma Zuimu spread his hands: "Go, go drink happily, don't let Jin Hua think we are unhappy." Zhuo Changgen nodded slowly and walked out. That night, he was so drunk that he passed out. The next day, he woke up with a splitting headache. Someone told him that Ma Jinhua had left and had visited him before he left and asked him to take good care of Xiao Bailong.

Ma Zuimu and a few old brothers personally sent Ma Jinhua to Beijing, and they didn't come back until two months later. Ma Zuimu seemed very happy, and talked about the prosperity of Beijing to everyone. After Ma Jinhua left the Ma's Ranch this time, it seemed that she never came back. I couldn't help asking loudly: "What do you mean if you haven't come back?" Zhuo Changgen's wrinkled face showed a confused expression: "I also left the ranch after a few years, I don't know if she went back after I left." I asked again: "You also left Ma's Ranch? What are you going to do?"

Zhuo Chang straightened his back proudly: "Go to school." I blinked unconsciously, and Zhuo Changgen made a gesture: "Jinhua said she was going to school, I don't know what that is all about, but—but—" After Ma Zuimu came back, Zhuo Changgen knew that besides the grassland where he grew up, there was another completely different world outside.People in that different world may not know how to raise horses at all, but they know many other things. Ma Jinhua is now living in that other world, learning things she didn't know before. At first, Zhuo Changgen was puzzled and hesitant, but whenever Ma Jinhua came back with a letter and Ma Zuimu proudly told him about Ma Jinhua's situation, Zhuo Changgen began to make plans.

Zhuo Changgen decided that he would also go to school to learn something other than raising horses.Once he made up his mind, he acted crazily. As soon as the literate horse dealer arrived, he entangled him and learned every word, which quickly led him into another new world. And after four years, he finally left Ma's Ranch. I knew that Zhuo Changgen had "studied a little bit hard" later, but I didn't know what he studied. I thought about it and raised this question.Zhuo Changgen's expression was a bit coy: "When I started to go to school, I never thought I could live such a long life, so I was so anxious, I wanted to learn everything I saw, but I couldn't chew it. No expertise at all." Bai Su smiled: "The old man is too polite. I remember when I was a child, my father told me that when he was in college, there was a weird guy in the school who was older than all the students. All the students worked hard, and in less than two years, they got a doctoral title, this weird person is probably you?" Zhuo Changgen grinned and laughed heartily: "A doctor is nothing, I live longer than others, and it is much easier to hold a doctorate title." I was really surprised in my heart, but then I thought about it, my surprise was really unreasonable. Even if he started to read at the age of 25, he is 93 years old this year, and he has nearly 70 years. As long as he is willing to work hard , get a few more PhDs, of course it is possible. The main reason why I was surprised may be because of his rough appearance and straightforward conversation, he definitely doesn't look like a doctor you usually see! He laughed a little embarrassedly again: "Jinhua is better than me, and I don't know how she came up with the idea. She only majored in one subject, and she was very successful. She studied history, the academics of pre-Qin scholars, and The history of the Spring and Autumn and the Warring States, and even the history of the Qin Dynasty, all have very in-depth research, she—” Zhuo Changgen had just said this, and I couldn't help but stood up: "Wait a minute, who are you talking about?" Zhuo Changgen said: "Golden Flower." I swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "Jinhua... Ma Jinhua?" Zhuo Changgen looked at me a little confused, and I smiled wryly: "She...the authority of the pre-Qin culture you mentioned just now, a recognized scholar in the world, I know her surname is Ma, and she has studied in various famous universities in Europe. China teaches Sinology, and now the world's famous authorities on Sinology are almost all her students, or her students' students, she... the name of Professor Ma seems to be Ma Yuan, a very masculine name." Zhuo Changgen thought I was making too much fuss: "That was Jinhua. Later she thought her name was too vulgar, so she changed her name to Ma Yuan. There is something vulgar about my name. Like me, Chang Gen is called Ma Yuan. Chang Gen, you can’t look down on your original name just because you’re a doctor.” Zhuo Changgen was talking a lot, but I was dumbfounded, and Bai Su looked at each other, Bai Su's expression was the same as mine, feeling that it was almost incomprehensible. Zhuo Changgen has been talking about Ma Jinhua, who is Professor Ma Yuan, an internationally renowned university scholar. Everyone has also seen Zhuo Changgen’s narration of Ma Jinhua before. How can such a daughter of a ranch be connected with the pre-Qin scholars, ancient Chinese history, European universities, and such a prestigious scholar? ? However, Ma Jinhua is Professor Ma Yuan, a scholar among scholars, so knowledgeable that when her students want to describe her, they don't know what words to choose. No matter how famous a university is, if they invite her to give a talk, they will treat her as It is the highest honor in school history! After a long while, Bai Su slowly shook his head: "Of course, a few decades, a person can undergo great changes." I suddenly remembered what I saw on the plane when I came here. There is a piece of news in the newspaper. I didn't pay much attention to this piece of news when I read it, but now I have to bring it up. The news said that the International Conference of Sinologists will soon be held in Lyon, France. At that time, Professor Ma Yuan, a recognized authority on Sinology, will be invited to speak at the conference at the age of ninety. And now, we are in the south of France, not too far from Lyon, Zhuo Changgen came here, is it for her? The more I thought about it, the weirder the look on my face, Boss Bai walked in again at this moment. Bai Su said: "Father, it turns out that the Ma Jinhua the old man talked about is Professor Ma Yuan." Boss Bai smiled "hehe" and said, "Who else is it? Love is great. It's not that Professor Ma is going to the south of France. Do you think the wine I brew will pull old man Zhuo from his South American kingdom?" When Boss Bai said this, I was dumbfounded again and pointed at Zhuo Changgen—this is a rather impolite action, but because I was so surprised, I couldn't care less: "You... are the one in the south America... is full of legends, the Chinese who established the conglomerate kingdom?" Zhuo Changgen spread out his big hands: "Do some small business." I took a breath of "hmm", what a small deal.This "small business" includes at least tens of thousands of acres of pastures, farms, hundreds of factories of various types, half of the shares of two large banks, and an unknown number of other industries. The assets involved are at least thousands of dollars. The unit of billions of dollars. It is by no means that I have never seen a rich man. No matter how much wealth a rich man has, it is difficult to arouse my surprise, but Zhuo Changgen in front of me, although he is old, looks like a very typical rough man. The heroic northern horse herdsman, who would have imagined that he is the big man who even the heads of several countries in South America want to see his face. Boss Bai noticed the strange expression on my face, and he pushed me hard: "Xiaowei, it's finally a worthwhile trip, seeing the world, right? Huh?" I said sincerely: "I really learned a lot. If I didn't come here, how would I know that the Chinese emperors in South America and the giants in Sinology all came from horse herding on the Jingwei Plain in China!" Bai Su also sighed and said: "I really never thought of it again. Mr. Zhuo, after you left the Ma's Ranch, have you never met Professor Ma?" Zhuo Changgen took a sip of wine: "When we met again, everyone was already middle-aged. At that time, I also studied a little, and Jin Hua had already made great achievements in learning. When we met, everyone was very happy. Happy, but when it comes to that incident back then—” When he was talking here, he paused for a while, and sighed: "When I mentioned that incident, she still said the same sentence: 'Don't ask me any questions.'" After being separated for so many years, the two met again with different identities.Ma Jinhua is already an academically accomplished professor, and no one can associate her with a galloping horseman in white, with a fierce horseman, and a bloody heroine who rides across the field. Zhuo Changgen was still his overage student. He was studying agricultural and animal husbandry economics at that time. His insight into animal husbandry and several papers he published, especially the monograph on horse breeding and training, attracted worldwide attention. Cattle farms all over the country and military horse breeding institutions are proud to invite him to give advice. Zhuo Changgen and Ma Jinhua reunited under such circumstances, should there be endless things to say?But that's not the case. The two only exchanged about the situation of Ma's Ranch. Due to the change and turbulence of the current situation, the Ma's Ranch has long since ceased to exist. Ma Zuimu died, and all the old people in the Ma's Ranch have withered. The remaining horse herders may still graze on the vast grassland, but the Ma's Ranch has already passed away. became a historical noun. Fortunately, during the heyday of Ma's Ranch, the profits from horse trading were extremely high. Ma Jinhua went to Beijing to study, and Ma Zuimu had already received modern knowledge, and the money he earned was transferred from the cellar to the bank. Later, Ma Jinhua went abroad to study, and the funds were transferred overseas, so life was not a problem at all. That time, during the conversation, Zhuo Changgen suddenly asked: "Jin Hua, you are not young, should you get married?" When Ma Jinhua heard this, she was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed loudly: "Chang Gen, you don't even remember how old we are? I'm almost fifty years old, marry me?" Zhuo Changgen was very serious: "To me, you always look like that little girl on the back of Little White Dragon." Ma Jinhua waved her hand vigorously: "The past, decades ago, why bring it up?" Zhuo Changgen mustered up his courage: "I don't think we are all old. If you are willing to marry me, I will be so happy that I can laugh in my dreams." Ma Jinhua lowered her head for about half a minute: "No, I can't marry you, Changgen, I've already been married once, and I don't want to marry again." It took several decades for Zhuo Changgen to muster up the courage to propose to Ma Jinhua. He never thought that Ma Jinhua would have such an answer. Ma Jinhua refused, he would not be surprised, but Ma Jinhua said that she had already married once, which is really unbelievable.Whether Zhuo Changgen was in Ma's Ranch or away from Ma's Ranch, he was always paying attention and asking about Ma Jinhua's affairs. He knew that when Ma Jinhua first came to Beijing and later transferred to Shanghai to go to school, she turned around countless people, but she never treated anyone nicely.Later she left the country, and Zhuo Changgen got the news that the foreigners lost their minds when they saw Ma Jinhua. Several nobles, even princes, had pursued her, but to no avail. Whenever Zhuo Changgen heard news like Ma Jinhua, he would have a self-comforting thought in his heart: Jinhua must still miss him, so he ignored any suitors. It was precisely because of this thought that he had the guts to ask Ma Jinhua to marry him. However, Ma Jinhua said that she was married once. When did that happen?Zhuo Changgen immediately thought that the only possibility was the events between her five years of mysterious disappearance. Had she been married during those five years of mysterious disappearance?Who are you marrying?Where is her husband?Why hasn't it appeared since then?All kinds of questions flooded into his mind in an instant. Zhuo Changgen asked impulsively, "Have you ever married someone? When, during those five years?" Ma Jinhua said with a serious face: "Changgen, don't ask any more questions, no matter how you ask, I will never answer!" Zhuo Changgen remembered that day when Ma Jinhua suddenly reappeared at the place where she disappeared. At that time, she looked so radiant, that kind of beauty was not the beauty of a girl, only a young woman could have such a gorgeous brilliance. He became even more excited: "It must be. It must have happened during those five years, don't you think?" Ma Jinhua sneered, but did not answer, Zhuo Changgen was so impulsive that he wanted to grab Ma Jinhua's arm and pull her closer, and then he asked to stretch out his hand, but Ma Jinhua stretched out his hand, and grabbed his pulse door, coldly Tunnel: "Chang Gen, we are now different from before. If you want to be rough, there is no door. If you do this again, I will never see you again." Zhuo Changgen's anger still persisted: "If I don't see you, I won't see you. I don't want to see you." As soon as Ma Jinhua let go, the two turned around together. They parted badly.Since that breakup, many great changes have taken place in the world. In the past seventy years, there have been too many great changes in the world to count.During the First World War, Zhuo Changgen was in charge of training military horses for the Allied Powers and achieved brilliant results. After the end of the First World War and before the outbreak of the Second World War, he went to South America, starting from the development of animal husbandry, and gradually established his economic kingdom.Before the Second World War broke out, the Japanese military tried every means to ask him to raise horses for the Kwantung Army, but he refused. He has been developing his business based on South America. Zhuo Changgen spread his palms wide: "From that time to now, more than forty years have passed, and I have never seen Ma Jinhua again." Bai Su and I looked at each other, and felt that no matter how many legendary people there are in the world, there is really no one more legendary than Zhuo Changgen and Ma Jinhua. The most legendary thing about these two people is that they both lived so long. There are not no old people over ninety years old in the world, but when they are over ninety years old, their emotions are still so strong, which is really rare. Bai Su tilted his head, looked at Zhuo Changgen, and jokingly said: "Old man, you are not too young, it's time to start a family." Zhuo Changgen didn't feel that this sentence was teasing him at all, his expression was very serious, and he was seriously thinking about Bai Su's proposal.Boss Bai, who was at the side, laughed so hard that he fell down: "He just wanted to, but he said that he can't get old with this face, so let's touch the nail again." When I heard Boss Bai say this, I was amazed and amused at the same time: "Everyone is over 90 years old. If we can really combine, it will be a beautiful story from ancient times to modern times. How could Professor Ma refuse?" As soon as Zhuo Changgen heard me say this, his eyes flashed brightly: "Boy, you mean me, can you try again? What if she refuses to agree?" I couldn't help laughing loudly: "If you fail again, you can wait another forty years, and the third time—" I've only reached this point when Boss Bai has already yelled, "Xiao Wei!" Zhuo Changgen let out an extremely loud roar, and punched me in the chest. I was shocked. If he hit that punch without any defense, three ribs would be broken. Coming out like the wind, although I dodged quickly, he punched me on the left shoulder with a "bang". Even though I lost seven or eight out of ten of the strength of his punch by shrinking to one side, I still couldn't lift my left arm after being punched. I was so astonished that I backed away a few times, Boss Bai had already stopped Zhuo Changgen and me, turned his head and said to me: "He can't take this joke, he is very serious." I can't help but laugh, this punch was for nothing, not to mention that I can't fight back, even if I can, I guess in terms of my own martial arts attainments, although I rarely meet opponents, I may not be able to beat this ninety-three-year-old, who is so strong An old man who looks like a god. I breathed a sigh of relief, and while waving my left arm, I said repeatedly: "I'm sorry, I just like to joke, I didn't mean it." Zhuo Changgen still looked at me angrily, and Boss Bai made a gesture: "Old Zhuo, you have begged me to be a matchmaker for you several times. To be honest, if I hit a wall, my old face will lose its glory. These two little boys If I let them try it, I’m afraid there will be great hope.” Boss Bai said very seriously, if I hadn’t been punched just now, it would be strange if I didn’t roll around laughing at this moment, but told me to bear it. I couldn't stop laughing, it was really hard work, my eyes almost bulged out. Bai Su gave me a hard look: "Master, if Professor Ma is willing to see us, we will try our best." Zhuo Chang had an angry expression on his face. After Boss Bai said it, he had calmed down. At this time, when he heard Bai Su say this again, he smiled brightly and kept rubbing his hands: "Thank you so much. If it succeeds, If you want to thank the media, there is no problem." Bai Su sticks out his tongue——Bai Su and I can’t even be called young anymore, we are both authoritative figures on many occasions, but in front of Zhuo Changgen, we feel like we are children psychologically: "I can't guarantee that it will be successful." Zhuo Changgen was actually very sensible: "There is no reason to force the matchmaker to say that the match will definitely succeed, you just try." I was really angry and funny: "If Professor Ma is like the old man, and his temper is still so hot, I'm afraid I will tell her to cut off one ear and drive her out according to the old rules when I go to find a matchmaker." Zhuo Changgen looked at me: "Why, you clenched your fist and got angry?" As he spoke, he stretched out his hand quickly, and punched him three times with "Bang Pai Pai" without even frowning: "You have hit me back." I was at a loss for what to do with his behavior, but I finally understood one thing: this person must never be treated as a ninety-three-year-old man, not even sixty-three years old. Treat him as a person of the same age. Age has no effect on him other than a change in appearance. I smiled, seeing that he still wanted to hit me again, I quickly made a very satisfied expression: "Okay, there is nothing more between us." He was very happy and grinning.When the "matchmaking" incident started, I had many questions in my mind, but I didn't ask them. At this moment, everyone sat down again, and I said, "Of course we don't want us to come here to be matchmakers. Old man, what do you think?" There's a mystery—" Zhuo Changgen nodded: "Yes." I said: "Two mysteries, one is where did your father come from and where did he go?" Zhuo Changgen said: "Yes, the second mystery is, where exactly was Jin Hua during those five years, and did she marry someone? Xiaobai said, you have great powers, and you have seen even the most bizarre things. , so I want you to come and ponder and see if you can solve it." I can't help but blame Boss Bai a little bit in my heart.Zhuo Changgen is very interesting, but how can I solve these two mysteries?Put this kind of thing on me, no matter how powerful I am, I can't handle it. I was thinking in my heart, how can I push this matter away, Bai Su has already said: "Old man, it is difficult to find out about your father, Professor Ma is still alive, as long as she is willing to tell, the mystery will be solved." Zhuo Changgen snorted: "As long as she is willing to speak? It would be easier to make a horse speak human words." Bai Su tilted her head and thought for a while: "I'll try my best. Professor Ma will be in Lyon, so I'll go see her first." I hurriedly said, "Yes, how to deal with an old lady is not my specialty." Bai Su smiled and said: "You stay here, and discuss with the old man about his father." I smiled wryly, but then I realized that this is very easy, just make a few assumptions.Although I also really want to meet the legendary Ma Jinhua, but when I think of being a matchmaker, I have to ask her about things that she is extremely reluctant to mention. There may be more obstacles than everything else, so let Bai Su try first. it is good. So, I stretched my waist and said, "Okay, when are you going to leave?" Bai Su said: "It's not too late, I'll set off tomorrow morning." Bai Su said "it's not too late", of course he didn't mean it, and seeing Zhuo Changgen's expression, he didn't care at all.But after I heard it, I couldn't help thinking: It's really not too late. Both were over ninety years old, and their lives could end at any time.If Ma Jinhua died suddenly, then the secret of her disappearance would become an eternal secret. I stretched again: "I wish you success." Boss Bai saw that I stretched twice: "Will you take a rest first?" But Zhuo Changgen said: "Young man, how can you get tired so easily, while the little girl is here, she has a lot of ideas, let's think about my father first." I shook my head: "This matter is really irresponsible. At the time and place, there was no clue to find it. What's more, things have changed now." I say this, and it is not true.Just imagine, how much time was spent and how many people were sent to investigate by the people of Ma's Ranch, but there is no follow-up. Now, after nearly 80 years, we are in the south of France, which is separated from China's Jingwei Plain by hundreds of thousands of miles. , How can you "figure out" what kind of tricks come out? Bai Su said, "Just treat it as a small talk." I leaned against the back of the chair as much as possible: "Old man Zhuo refuses to accept the theory of aliens." Zhuo Changgen shook his head: "It's not that I don't want to accept it, it's that I'm too empty. How can I be a space bastard when I am alone?" I spread my hands: "Then I can only say that your father is a very mysterious person." Bai Su frowned, she was really thinking about it seriously, and after a while, she finally said: "I was thinking, in China, in Qinghai and Xikang, there are some nomads with very secretive whereabouts──" She had just said this, and I already knew what she was going to say, so my spirits lifted, and I sat up straight immediately.Bai Su looked at Boss Bai, and Boss Bai nodded: "Yes, there are a few tribes. When I was young, I took great risks to deal with them. Most of these tribes live in very hidden mountainous areas. Take the place where they live as a paradise. I have been to the residence of such a tribe, hidden in the Tianshan Mountains, and I don’t know how many winding mountain roads I have to go through to reach that small valley.” I interjected: "However, most of these tribes are Tibetans, Yi people, or Uighurs with a small number of people, and there are very few Han people." Boss Bai pointed to Zhuo Changgen: "How can you be sure that the other half of his blood is Han?" That's really impossible. Half of Zhuo Changgen's blood comes from his mother, who is Mongolian, and the other half is Han or Tibetan. It's really hard to determine. And the mysterious small tribe that Bai Su mentioned usually has extremely strict tribal rules, which are even worse than some secret societies.For example, you must never leave the tribe without permission, you must not communicate with outsiders, you must not reveal the secrets of the tribe, and so on.If you violate the rules of the tribe, you will be punished extremely severely. Is it possible that Zhuo Changgen's father escaped from such a mysterious tribe? After listening to Bai Su's words, Boss Bai and I thought the same way, so we almost said at the same time: "That's not right──" Boss Bai said two words and motioned for me to speak first, and I said, "No, when Uncle Zhuo was discovered, he spoke the Shaanxi-Gansu dialect. There is no reason to come from a secret tribe far away." Bai Lao Dao: "Yes, and before he appeared, he hadn't been anywhere!" Zhuo Changgen sighed: "At that time, we only traced where he came from, and only traced it up to his appearance. Before that, it seemed that no one had seen him. Of course, it is also possible that he came from afar. I will also remember a passer-by, he did not have three heads, although he is a bit taller, but in the north, there are plenty of tall people." I waved my hand: "It's better not to study where he came from, but to see where he went, that's the way." As I said, I looked at Zhuo Changgen: "Didn't he say something before he took you and those one hundred good horses to Ma's Ranch? Think about it carefully, maybe if you don't pay attention, you When I was young, I forgot after hearing it, but it has a hint effect?" At this time, it is too late for a ninety-three-year-old man to recall what happened when he was nine years old.But Zhuo Changgen immediately said: "Do you think I haven't thought about it? Since my father disappeared, I have turned over and over every word he said to me in my heart. I have thought about it countless times, but he really has nothing. Tell me, and only me, that he must die, and tell me not to go to him." I smiled bitterly, and Zhuo Changgen said again: "Later, I recalled his expression at that time. Of course, if a person must die, he would be very sad. But he was only worried about me, because I was still young at that time, and I was not happy. Worried about his own life and death. Sometimes, when he mentions his dead mother, he is much more sad." Boss Bai said loudly: "Forget it, this mystery can't be solved, who told you not to ask clearly at that time." Zhuo Changgen was dejected: "What's the use of me asking, if he is willing to say it, forget it, let's not mention this." Zhuo Changgen's personality is very refreshing, he said he didn't mention it, and he never mentioned it.Since he was old, and his life was so colorful, and he had been through almost everything, it was never boring to chat with him. It wasn't until dark that they ate a sumptuous dinner and talked for a while before they went to rest. I lay down and asked Bai Su: "What tricks do you have up your sleeve?" Bai Su smiled and said, "No, it's just playing by ear." She showed a relaxed and fascinated look: "A love that has lasted for nearly a century is really touching." I yawned: "That means they have never been together. If they had become husband and wife early, they would have fought thousands of times." Bai Su smiled: "I've seen the photo of Professor Ma several times, and it doesn't look like what Mr. Zhuo said." I yawned again: "Xi Tzu is in the eye of the beholder. She is his first love. To describe it, it is a little exaggerated, which is inevitable." Bai Su didn't say anything more. Early the next morning, I was still asleep, and Bai Sutui woke me up in the trance. I saw that she was fully dressed, so I quickly sat up.She said: "You don't care about your sleep, I'm leaving." I nodded, she turned and walked out, I was just about to fall back to sleep, the door was pushed open, Zhuo Changgen walked in, shouting loudly: "Sleep still? Come on, let's go ride." Seeing him standing in front of my bed in such a spirited manner, no matter how much I want to sleep, I am too embarrassed to go back to sleep.I straightened up and jumped out of bed.Zhuo Changgen looked eager to try, but suddenly changed his mind: "Stop riding a horse, I haven't met an opponent for a long time, let's play a few punches." I had no choice but to look at him and smile, nodding and agreeing, who knew that this old guy would come as soon as he said it, and I just nodded, and he had already punched him in the face. I hurriedly rolled backwards, turned over the bed, and avoided his punch. He jumped up, and he was in mid-air, and his foot had already been kicked out. As soon as he came up, he gained the upper hand, and I had no choice but to back away again and again. After three moves, I was forced to escape from the window by him. He laughed loudly, and immediately jumped out of the window. I escaped from the window, turned to one side, and regained his pressing momentum. As soon as he came out, I shouted loudly and launched a round of rapid attacks on him.Zhuo Changgen was very excited, and shouted loudly, jumping like flying. The two of us fought all the way from the house to the open space outside, staring at everyone dumbfounded. There were two tall Frenchmen who didn't know that we were "fighting" and thought that We were really fighting and came up trying to separate the two of us. Zhuo Changgen and I shouted at the same time, asking them to go away, but it was too late, these two people had good intentions, but they were beyond their control, Zhuo Changgen and I were fighting with all our strength, how could they get in?As soon as the two people approached, they screamed loudly, fell straight out, and lay on the ground, unable to get up for a long time. Boss Bai was startled, he ran out, shouting, "It's okay, it's okay, they're just joking around." He lifted the two people up, patted and pushed them, and the two people didn't cry out in pain until this moment. Boss Bai watched from the sidelines for a while, and with great interest, he clapped his hands and joined the battle group. This time, it was really bustling, the three of them fought aimlessly, sometimes doing their own thing, sometimes the two joined forces to deal with one, more and more people were watching, and they were getting farther and farther away, no one dared to approach.After practicing for nearly an hour, the three talents all agreed, shouted loudly, and jumped away together. Boss Bai said loudly: "Good guy, you are so old, you are so strong." 卓长根咯咯笑着：“老骨头还结实，嗯？” 白老大后参加，停手之后，也不由自主在喘气，我也在喘气，可是看卓长根时，他却全然若无其事，当真是脸不红，气不喘，除了光秃的头顶，看来发亮之外，根本看不出他刚才曾经经过这样激烈的运动。 像他这样的年龄，身体状况还如此之好，这简直违反生理自然！ 我忽然想起贾玉珍，这个已成了“神仙”的人，由于服食了一些“仙丹”，返老还童，越来越年轻。卓长根是不是也曾服食过甚么对健康特别有用的东西呢？ 一想到这里，我脱口道：“卓老爷子，你是不是吃野山人参长大的？” 卓长根怔了一怔：“小娃子胡说甚么，我天生就那么壮健。” 白老大调匀了气息，才道：“你和他说甚么，他是外星人的种，自然比正常人健康。” 卓长根的神情有点愠怒。我知道他们两个人是开惯了玩笑的，可是在那一霎间，我心中一动。我想到的是，卓长根的健康状况和他的年龄如此不相称，其中一定有特别原因。 原因是甚么，不知道，但一定有原因！
