I haven’t slept so well in a long time. I woke up feeling refreshed in the morning and stretched out. I went back and forth looking for clothes. It suddenly occurred to me that I had washed the clothes last night and left them to dry in the yard.
I was wearing a pair of shorts. As soon as I opened the door, I shivered from the cold.
The snow outside the house was white, it turned out to be snowing.
Since Kangding is close to Zheduo Mountain, it snows very early every year. I heard that snowflakes started falling in August last year. You need to wear a sweater at this time, otherwise you will definitely catch a cold.
After I got dressed, lit a cigarette and went out, I suddenly saw a child in the courtyard.
"what are you doing?"
"Big brother! Big brother! I am building a snowman! But why does my snowman have no eyes? Without eyes, the snowman will not be able to see the road."
The person who spoke in a milky voice was the youngest son of the hotel owner. He was only three or four years old at the time, and he had runny nose when he talked.
I grinned, took a puff of my cigarette, and then lit two black dots on the snowman's face with the cigarette.
"Look, don't these have eyes?"
"Wow!"
"Big brother is so awesome! The snowman has eyes!"
"Great! The snowman can see the road!" The child ran and circled happily.
I shook my head and thought, it's so damn cold today, I should wear long johns.
"Why?..."
"Eyes? Eyes..."
I froze in the hotel courtyard, looking up at the scattered snow falling from the sky.
A snowflake fell on my forehead and melted instantly, making me feel cool.
I suddenly realized it and hurriedly ran up to the third floor and knocked on the door of the first room.
"Morning Yunfeng."
I woke up earlier and brewed a pot of strong tea on the table.
"Head, I suddenly had an idea!"
"Oh? What do you think?"
"Eye!"
"There is no need for us to go to the Blackwater City Museum to look for those historical materials!"
"Think about it! So many party members came to Ganzi back then! It's impossible that no one saw it! And there must have been many people who saw it!"
"We only need to look through the old county records of the area at that time! We will definitely find some clues!"
He raised his head and took a sip of tea, frowned and said, "That time period was probably..."
I quickly said: "At the end of the Song Dynasty and the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty! Even in the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty, local county annals may have recorded it!"
He tapped his head and fingers on the table rhythmically: "This is indeed a way. Some local county annals are very reliable. The problem is that this thing is difficult to find. We will definitely not be able to see it in the museum."
I said don’t worry about your head. Museums are nothing. Compared with the stock of folk cultural relics, what’s in the museum is just a drop in the bucket! As long as we let the news out and charge a high price, there will be plenty of people to give it away!
After chatting for a while, he nodded and said, "Well... you can give it a try. I happen to be free these two days, so go ahead and do it."
I agreed, and when I came out, I happened to meet Brother Yu, who had just come back with a big basket.
"Brother Yu, what's the happy event today? I bought so many vegetables, let me take a look! There are also ribs, what are these? Pork liver?"
