After experts confirmed that the bronze tripod from the Shang and Zhou dynasties was buried last week, no traces of man-made artifacts were found after digging deeper, so it can be basically concluded that there are no ancient tombs below.
Fortunately, otherwise, Mei Qian's preference for the farmhouses in Matougou would be regarded as a stepping stone for tomb robbers.
The construction of the subway has not been delayed for long, and there is no need to worry that Farmhouse Lao Liu will come after him with a knife.
This incident briefly became popular on the Internet, and then went silent.
However, Mei Qian, who went downstairs to move around, once again felt like he was being watched.
He instantly understood that he was being watched again.
And unlike the previous advance notice, this time it seemed to be more secretive. If he hadn't had sharp senses, he wouldn't have noticed it.
Mei Qian was actually mentally prepared for this.
Who made him appear at a coincidental place at a coincidental time, and then coincidentally, buried cultural relics were discovered there, and he himself coincidentally was suspected of tomb robbing.
If you don’t doubt who do you doubt?
Although everyone knows that if the information about the Bronze Cauldron is exposed, Mei Qian will stop all abnormal actions if he is really doing secret transactions. This investigation is destined to be difficult.
Out of responsibility, the police had to investigate.
That's why the police officer who came to inquire had something to say. He didn't even point his finger at his nose and said, "The police now suspect that you are involved in a criminal activity. You are related to the bronze tripod. Don't let us find out, otherwise
I'll definitely do it for you this time.
Of course, there are also many people who are quietly waiting for bigger news. Xiadu is building two subway lines this year. Even if this one is not available, there is another one!
Mei Qian sneered at those people who were waiting to see his joke. No matter how big the news was, what would it matter? When he dared to write it, he was not afraid that it would become evidence of his own crime.
So many experts didn't find it more eye-catching that he discovered an ancient tomb, but as he said at the police station, the Xia Kingdom is so big, there are many places to bury people.
You may think of him as a Feng Shui master or a tomb robber.
If you don't take the initiative to mention the matter in public, if you don't admit it, you will be in bad feng shui, and you won't be responsible for all the consequences.
Who can do anything to him? Suspicion? There are so many suspicions on him, what does this mean?
Regarding the bronze tripod, although he himself was innocent and there was no risk of entering the palace three times, Mei Qian was really disgusted.
They all stopped at first, but he committed suicide and personally brought himself into the police's sight.
No one has this kind of luck.
It's really disappointing.
But you still have to struggle a bit.
Therefore, Mei Qian stayed at home for a while and did not go anywhere.
Until half a month later, he no longer felt like he was being watched when he went downstairs.
It is speculated that the police who should be following him have withdrawn. After all, his current movement trajectory is very easy to trace. If they can follow him for half a month, the police are considered to be patient.
But he still didn't go out, but stayed more honestly.
I really don’t believe it. If I can just be a homebody, will trouble still come to my door?
---------------
"Hey, brother, we have to leave upstairs, we are moving." Ning Chi came back with the lunch box, still wet with cold moisture on his body.
After hearing this, Mei Qian, who is a fan of dramas, looked at the continuous heavy rain outside the window and asked strangely: "It's raining so hard to move? It seems that they are in a hurry."
In fact, since the morning, there have been sounds of objects colliding and moving upstairs from time to time. Mei Qian had already finished writing today's update, so he didn't worry about it too much.
While the top was messing with the top, he was watching his own TV series without missing a beat.
I didn't expect that I was moving house on such a rainy day.
But he just sighed, after all, the relationship was not good, and he didn't want to talk too much.
Of course, without that annoying woman and naughty children jumping around upstairs, it might be a little cleaner.
It's a pity that maybe Mei Qian's luck was so great that even his small expectation didn't come true.
The next day, Mei Qian was polishing the coded novel in the hope that the climax would be more exciting, when a loud "bang" sound suddenly came from upstairs, completely interrupting his train of thought.
Forget it just this time, I finally regained some feeling and put my hands on the keyboard again. The top of my head kept making a "clatter" sound, like the sound of countless marbles rolling.
Mei Qian decided to go upstairs to take a look, but as soon as he left the study, Ning Chi moved faster and had already started to change his shoes.
Finally, the two of them arrived upstairs together and saw that the door upstairs was open and round glass balls could be seen everywhere on the ground. At this time, several master workers were cleaning with brooms.
"I'm sorry, are you two residents downstairs? I was moving, and the worker accidentally broke one of my sculptures. Did it disturb you?" At this time, there was a fat man wearing glasses.
He walked up to the two of them with smiles on his face, nodded and apologized directly.
As the saying goes, don't hit the smiling person. The other person's attitude was so low and it was not intentional, so it was hard to embarrass the other person. He told the other person to be careful, and the two of them went downstairs.
After that, things became quieter upstairs, there was not much noise, and Mei Qian's update was successfully completed.
I originally thought this was just a minor neighbor conflict, and no one took it to heart.
Unexpectedly, just after dinner in the evening, the fat man upstairs rang the doorbell with a basket of fruits and expressed his apology again.
Mei Qian greeted him with a smile, accepted the fruit, and politely invited him into the living room.
Because he also wants to build a good relationship with his neighbors. If someone brings fruit to them, he can return the gift in the future. This way, he will have a relationship and communicate more easily in the future.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the fat man took his seat, he suddenly slapped his head, pointed at Mei Qian, and exclaimed: "Why do you look so familiar to me? You are the writer Mei Qian, right?"
Seeing Mei Qian nod, he laughed excitedly: "I didn't expect that a big celebrity and I are close neighbors."
As for the close neighbors he mentioned, he was right. There was only one house on the first floor of the unit they were in, and there was no opposite door. Naturally, they could be called close neighbors upstairs and downstairs.
This fat man is a familiar person and is not at all shy when visiting a stranger's home.
After some self-introduction, the fat man’s name is Yin Gaoyi, who is from Xiadu. He has been traveling overseas all year round and just returned to China last week. Because the old house has been demolished long ago, he bought the house upstairs. He is just waiting to find a good project after settling down.
Start a business.
After this contact, he and Mei Qian got to know each other, but they didn't stay much longer and left after chatting for a few words.
The next day, Mei Qian asked Ning Chi to buy something and return the gift in person.
I thought that like most families in modern cities, we would only be acquaintances with our neighbors.
After all, people are quite busy nowadays, so how can they be in the mood to maintain neighborly relations too much.
Unexpectedly, Fatty Yin was so enthusiastic. Knowing that Mei Qian was at home all year round, he came over to chat whenever he had free time.
Yin Gaoyi seems to like Mei Qian's house better than the house above his own. In his words, you can feel the atmosphere of culture when you stay here.
This naked horse really embarrassed Mei Qian.
But again, it’s hard to say no when someone comes to you politely and with good intentions.
After spending a lot of time at home, I feel somewhat bored. This Yin Gaoyi is not good-looking, short and fat, but he has a good personality, cheerful and loves to laugh. As an old man who has been out and about all year round, he speaks well, so Mei Qian does not reject it.
The other party's approach.
So the other party came more frequently. Several times he claimed that drinking alone was boring and brought Mei Qian and Mei Qian a drink with him.
After going back and forth, several people became familiar with each other.
Even Ning Chi seemed to enjoy contact with him, and even called him Fatty Yin.
Yin Gaoyi was not angry at all, and still had a smile on his face.
However, as a visual animal, Maomao was not too proud of this man and called him vulgar-looking.
But Maomao didn't live here after all, so within two weeks, at least at the wine table, the relationship between the two of them became closer.
----------
On this day, Xiadu, which had been gloomy for several days, finally saw the sun again. The continuous spring rain also stopped. The air was fresh and the temperature was pleasant.
After calculation, Mei Qian has been in "reclusion" for a full month and a half.
The subway construction in Xia Capital is in full swing outside, but there is still no news about the ancient tombs underground. However, no one is worried about this, because such a large project is calculated on a yearly basis. It is normal for such a short period of time not to be discovered.
Mei Qian drove back from outside humming a song and was in a great mood.
He had just attended a meeting of the Xiadu Writers' Federation and officially learned that his application to join the National Writers' Federation had been approved.
It was depressing to mention this. He applied three times in four years, but was rejected every time.
The first two times were due to lack of qualifications, and the third time he was slapped on the table and scolded as a criminal, which also failed.
He had given up at first, but he didn't expect that he would not be required to write the application this time. Xia Du Zuolian took the initiative to help, and the approval process went very smoothly without any obstruction.
After all, he had saved so many writers in the winter, and it would be totally senseless for someone to come forward at this time.
This also means that his main business has more room for development. If his works are excellent, he can get priority publication opportunities. Besides, this title will look better when it is displayed, right?
Moreover, he just received a call from Zhang Yu, and there is no need to report when going out of town. The implication is that he escaped again, bah! He once again proved his innocence.
Isn't it worth his joy to receive two pieces of good news in one day?
But this good mood only lasts until you open the door and enter the house.
We originally planned to come back for a drink to celebrate, but we decided we wouldn’t come back until we got drunk.
But he didn't expect Ning Chi and Fatty Yin to start drinking without waiting for him, which was so unloyal.
Glancing at the four or five empty beer bottles on the coffee table, Mei Qian threw his coat onto the sofa and joined in.
When you are in a good mood, the beer tastes more mellow.
After finishing the bottle, Mei Qian said to Ning Chi, who was eating vegetables after finishing a bottle, "Get your luggage ready tomorrow morning and come with me."
Ning Chi's chopsticks stopped in mid-air and asked in shock: "Where are you going back now? Are you filming a show again?"
"There is a seminar in Yushi. Let's stay a few more days and treat it as a trip." Mei Qian said with a smile.
"Is nothing going to happen again?" Ning Chi looked nervous and asked in a low voice as he came closer.
"Don't be so cynical. Yushi is not close to the border and is known for its good public security. What can happen?" Mei Qian scolded dissatisfiedly.
This joint seminar was decided half a month ago, and the location was chosen to be in Yoichi by the sea.
Although Mei Qian wanted to go, he had been in trouble before and had originally planned to reluctantly refuse.
But now that the restrictions have been lifted, there is no reason not to go. I just happened to be tired of staying in the summer capital, so I just went to relax.
When he walked out of the venue, he checked it on his mobile phone.
Yushi is located in the south of Xia Kingdom, near the sea and with few mountains. It has always been a "wild land" with few human activities. In ancient times, there were no tribes or countries there.
It was not developed by the Xia Kingdom until a hundred years ago. Anyway, no large tombs or ancient ruins have been discovered there over the years.
I heard that the Yushi Archaeological Bureau deals with old buildings from a hundred years ago all day long, and only archaeological practitioners who are unsuccessful or have insufficient skills are assigned there.
Moreover, the entire city is built along the sea, the fishery is developed, and there are many small islands suitable for tourism. The seafood is delicious. For Mei Qian now, it is safe and fun, and it is the best place to travel.
Ning Chi obviously knew about Yushi. When he heard it was there, he didn't say anything more and just nodded.
But Fatty Yin was obviously stunned for a moment: "Yushi, I've been there, it's a treasure land of outstanding Feng Shui." After a pause, he said regretfully: "If I hadn't been away from something recently, I would have been so shameless with you.
It’s okay if I don’t mention this trip, but as soon as you mention it, I want to eat seafood.”
"I'll send you some somewhere else." Mei Qian said with a smile...
The celebratory drinking party did not last until very late, because Yin Gaoyi got drunk first and kept crawling under the sofa. Mei Qian couldn't drink Ning Chi and had no interest in drinking, so he had to end it hastily.
But Mei Qian also drank a lot, and feeling dizzy, he and Ning Chi helped Yin Gaoyi home, then insisted on cleaning up the mess when they came back.
But as soon as he swept all the disposable plates into garbage bags, he was stunned for a moment when he raised his head.
The direction he was looking at was the ancient shelf where the Tang Sancai fox was originally placed. Because he felt unlucky, even though the police returned it, Mei Qian never put it up, but solemnly put it away, so that the shelf remained vacant.
I didn't expect that something would be put on it now.
He walked over and took off the thing and took a closer look. It was a dragon-shaped statue made of stone. It held its head and swung its tail in an extraordinary manner, and the carving was exquisite. It was only the size of a palm, but every scale was clearly visible.
"Where did you buy it?" He asked Ning Chi while playing with it.
"Fat Yin brought it. He felt awkward saying it was an empty piece." Ning Chi replied, but the work in hand did not stop, but it was much more efficient than Mei Qian.
Mei Qian frowned. Although the material of this thing looked ordinary, he, as an outsider, knew that this carving was extremely rare in the market and must be very valuable. Was such a thing given to him quietly?
Fatty Yin is too generous.
He was planning to send the things back tomorrow, but he was so drunk that he was too sleepy. After packing his things, he sent Ning Chi away and went back to the bedroom to fall asleep, completely forgetting about it.
I got up late the next day, packed my luggage and hurried to the airport, and went straight to Yoshi with Ning Chi...
