I was brought back to Chengdu by the treasurer, he ran a pawnshop on a small scale called the four sides of the temple, in the 1980s when the small gate temple in Chengdu antiques is equivalent to Pan home, because every 12 o'clock in the evening to open the market so the ghost city.

The treasurer's surname Ye, Ye Jiuqing's name was very edible at the time, but no one ever called his name, always politely saluted the treasurer.

There are only two ways to do antique business, see the light on the stalls to sell, there are some people who dare not see the light you dare to sell, to say that it is not clean from the tomb to touch the road is not clean, the line is called rat goods.

Ye Jiuqing smart out of the head of the matter of course will not do, there is this called the square pawnshop, only pawns do not sell stolen goods, things to the counter once put the valuation of the order to give money, really if traced down at best is also pawned things can not be covered with the grave robbers.

Later, I found out that all of them were hanging sheep heads to sell dog meat, this four-way pawnshop is actually a guise, secretly dry is the life of the tomb, the southwest region of the tomb robbers called the earth rat, the four-way pawnshop is a rat's nest, of course, the rat head is of course, the size of the leaves of the nine things are determined by him.

Below is the master who is responsible for collecting information and the gold master of the cauldron, and then the Han Hu, who is responsible for digging the tomb leg, that is, the scar that I injured, and the name Zhao Yan, who is responsible for the valuation and identification.

When I went to the square pawnshop with Ye Jiuqing, he asked the general to push me like a chick to the wood house, burned two pots of hot water like a hot pig, and threw my clothes as large as a costume, and the pawnbrothed people came around to laugh, and I stubbornly glared at everyone, but in exchange, my face was taken turns by these people, and even played me cattle...

Ye Jiuqing let people give me a bowl of rice and meat, did not finish he put a piece of paper in front of me, he said that the pawnshop has the rule of pawnshop, took the pawnshop's money to nine out of thirteen, but also have something to mortgage, eat the pawnshop's rice is the same, I am a pawnbroker must sign the ticket first.

At that time, I just didn't understand what he was talking about when I was filling my stomach, and I was confused and I was caught by Ye Jiuqing, stamped the red mud on the ticket with a handprint, and at the end of the matter, he told me that this ticket was a break, which means that the thing was not redeemed within the time limit after the pawn, and this thing was even a pawnshop.

At a meal, I was confused and gave myself to Ye Jiuqing, and still broke, saying that simple, my life from the press of the fingerprint is not mine.

This is how I stayed in the square pawnshop, for a long time slowly found that the four pawnshops of the four people are not as bad as I think, the first seven years I rely on my father with the dead to feed, after more than ten years, I am by the gang of rich people pulled big, as I first said, I was raised by the dead people at all.

In the square pawnshop I was first just an apprentice, but everyone called me the young master, because the first time I saw Ye Jiuqing, I was so arrogant in the theft of the hole to answer him, dare to say in front of Ye Jiuqing that the master's estimate is also me alone, this matter became the laughing stock of the four square pawnshop, for a long time everyone called me so.

As the saying goes, with good people, learn good people, follow the evil god, a child every day with a group of lawless and evil thieves can learn what is good.

Ye Jiuqing is the master of the tomb, he has been forcing me to learn his method of visiting the tomb and his skills, I do not know whether I really have the talent in this regard, or because I have read those books of my father since childhood.

For fifteen years, I watched Ye Jiuqing slowly become fat, and when the meat on his waist was trembling, I had already learned everything he taught me, and the only thing I didn't have was experience, because although Ye Jiuqing taught me to visit the tomb, he never let me participate in it.

The general will take me to some stolen tombs to teach me how to dig the tomb, from the beginning how to use Luoyang shovel, and even the first shovel is his hand to teach me, and then the theft of holes and how to go down the tomb to touch the treasure, he also scolded me for fifteen years, never by him, but his body was beaten more and more porcelain.

I had just known him when he was thirty-five men, fifteen years after digging a hole, I can see that he has some powerless respite, I think it is really impossible to beat me, and he also told Ye Jiuqing that he has nothing to teach me.

In addition to being taught these by Ye Jiuqing and the general, most of the rest of the time I stayed with Feng, he and my father are very similar, the only hobby is to read books, he also forced me to look at the things in the book at the same time, the seal is very strict people talk not much but are into the wood three points and learn to rich five cars.

Feng said that I was smart and wise, but also had the ability to forget, so he taught things, I can always quickly rotten and integrate, all say that rogues are not terrible, I am afraid of rogue culture, 23 years old Xiaoguan Temple ghost city, we all know that the square pawnshop has a rascal and culture of the Gu Xiaoguang.

When the worship is Zhao Yan, more than 60 years old or serious, when I was playing cattle and cattle, he had him as long as he went up to the counter, although he was staring at anyone with the glasses, he called him Zhao Yan.

It is not how powerful he is, the king of hell is sentenced to life and death, he is judged by the truth and falsehood, sent to the pawn of the earth through Zhao Yan's hand, the true and false nobles can break out in less than half a minute, Zhao Yan will teach me how to identify and distinguish the authenticity of antiques.

They forced me to spend fifteen years learning these things, but I had no interest in this line at all, and under their guidance I was sleek and arrogant, almost everyone in the square pawnshop except Ye Jiuqing had been teased by me, and they were afraid that Ye Jiuqing was at least reasonable, and I was cynical.

When I first arrived at the square pawnshop, I was seven years old, and after 15 years, they really took me as a master, and it is estimated that the bad gentlemen who raised me did not expect that the children who were pinched by their faces would become the grandfather of Gu, who could not be sent away now.

But as I learned more and more, I gradually realized that when I was a child, I did not notice something.

When I first met Ye Jiuqing, the kind of clothes they wore with cloaks but no sleeves called rat clothes, which were specially worn by earth rat rats at night.

Not only could I conceal my whereabouts but also move easily, but I recognized it at a glance, though I did not know the name of the dress, because my father also had such a mouse suit.

I remember when my father went to the funeral of a coffin when he was a child, he always grabbed a handful of soil rubbed from the bottom of the grave, and now he remembers carefully to understand that his father was judging the composition of these soils, which was exactly the same as what Ye Jiuqing taught me about the tomb.

There is also the ancient book of Feng Shui, which I have seen in the sealed bookshelf, but I do not know whether it is the reason for the version, the content seen there is obviously a difference with my father's, and the father's record is more detailed and accurate, and even many pages of the seal collection are not at all.

Although it is a popular book, but everything has two sides, proficient can find Feng Shui treasure for people to be buried, but also according to the records to find the location of the mausoleum, I took a long time to understand and accept the fact that my father is probably not a simple five ghosts carrying the coffin, he secretly more like a tomb thief!

As I got older, I found the father I thought was closest to me, there were so many secrets I didn’t know, and I didn’t even know his true identity until I compared the coordinates of my scribbled notes in the mountains on a map to learn of my father’s strangeness. [Miao & Bige]. com

From those intermittent and incomplete diaries, I can judge that my father was a soldier who had participated in the top secret of state experiments, but his father was probably involved in more than that.

I often draw in my mind a silent mountain of five ghosts carrying a coffin and a mysterious soldier with a mysterious background, and an unknown grave robber, these are the three identities of my father as far as I know, but even if I racked my brains, I can never relate these three completely unrelated identities to a person.

My father seemed to me like an unsolved mystery, I grew up in the square pawnshop, they taught me to be happy with revenge, not to mention the death of the father's hatred, I have always wanted to find out the people who killed my father.

But after all, I was too young at that time, I didn't even see the looks of the three people, I just remember standing at the back of the person in front of the hand, vaguely saw that he had a tattoo on his wrist.

But the interval was too long, and I was hiding far away and not seeing too clearly, and the tattoo pattern had become blurred in my mind.

I don't want to learn from Ye Jiuqing and they have something to do with the theft of the tomb, but if my father is also related to the theft of the tomb, perhaps I can find some clues in this circle, I always pay attention to the wrist of every person who comes to the square pawnshop, and it is 15 years, but I have never seen a vague tattoo in my memory.

As time went on, the tattoo became increasingly unclear in my mind, and I knew in my heart that the hope of avenging my father was slim, but this belief never faded.
