After I came out, I was walking on the road with many thoughts on my mind.
Returning to the small square again, there was no one there, the medicine sellers had closed their stalls long ago, and the dancing old men and old ladies had gone back to wash up and sleep.
I couldn't go back to Xi'an today, so I lay down on a lounge chair in the park to rest and lit a cigarette to refresh myself.
"Aunt Liu, go to bed. I'm sorry to bother you so late. I'm Yunfeng."
"I'm working out of town now, so there's no need to call the door. Grandma should be sleeping. How is her health lately?"
"It's Yunfeng. I haven't seen you for a long time. Your grandma is in good health. She always said that you became a big leader in the factory and sent 20,000 yuan home at a time. Don't forget it when you get rich in the future.
It’s you, Aunt Liu, and me.”
"How can you, Aunt Liu, isn't Brother Heidan (Aunt Liu's son) going to get married next year, and I will give you a big gift then?"
"What a big gift?" Aunt Liu said with a smile on the phone: "Brother Hei Dan wants a car. Is it possible that you want to give it to him?"
I smiled and said no problem.
Aunt Liu thought I was joking and didn't take it to heart. When she learned that grandma was fine, we chatted for a while and then hung up the phone.
What she didn't expect was that in July of the following year, I gave her a high-end car as a gift for her son's wedding. Later, people in the village spread the news that Lao Lan (my grandma)'s grandson was making a lot of money and becoming a high official in Beijing.

Aunt Liu is my neighbor and has watched me grow up. During the Chinese New Year, our family had no money and she even bought me clothes. When I was in the first grade of junior high school, I smashed the school blackboard with a fire tong. The teacher asked me to call my parents to pay 200 yuan for compensation.
I didn't dare tell my grandma that Aunt Liu came to the school pretending to be my parent.
I told the principal clearly at that time that I would not give the money because my family had no money. You could hit my palm with a compass. For 200 yuan, just hit me 200 times.
The principal was very troubled by me, so he asked the head teacher to hit me with a compass. On the surface, the head teacher was fierce, but in fact, he hit me two or three times on the palm. In return, I became the head teacher's spy.
At that time, there was an Internet cafe behind the school. I lived in the dormitory at night. If anyone stayed up all night and went to the Internet cafe, I would report it to the class teacher the next day. From the first to the second grade of junior high school, countless male and female classmates died in my hands.
No one outside knows about this.
Mohe No. 3 Middle School, classmates of Class 69, if you suffer, it’s all my fault. I’m sorry.
I plan to send money home at the end of this month. I don’t dare to send more. I plan to send 20,000 yuan back.
I was thinking about housework when suddenly a big cat jumped on my lap and bit my pants. I was so startled that the cigarette butt burned my hand.
"You damn cat!"
I stood up and wanted to kick it away, but the big cat quickly dodged it, turned around and barked at me. It narrowed its eyes as if it was laughing at me.
I picked up a small stone and threw it away, but it was avoided again and meowed.
Only then did I realize that it was the King of Kings ham in my trouser pocket that attracted it. The King of Kings was given to me by Red Eyes and I didn’t eat it.
"Tsk, tsk"
"Here, I'll give you some ham."
I tore the ham apart and barked twice. The big cat hesitated for a moment and came over, lowered its head and started eating. I saw the opportunity and grabbed it.
"Meow!"
"Meow meow!"
"what are you doing!"
"Why hit my cat!"
A flashlight illuminated me and I saw an old man with Mediterranean hair running over.
This man was quite young, at least seventy years old. He was wearing a cotton coat. There were two or three hairs on the top of his head that were neatly combed, and the hair on both sides of his head was completely white.
"Don't let go yet!"
"Why did you hit my cat!" the old man shouted angrily.
Put the cat on the ground, I spread my hands and said I didn't beat your cat, I just teased it. Look, I even fed you ham.
"etc."
"Old man white cat?"
"Wu Xilin? No, old man, is your name Wu Xilin?"
The old man touched the white cat in his arms and was stunned when he heard this and asked who you are.
If he didn't deny it, he would admit it.
I was so happy, I didn't expect to meet him.
"My name is Xiang Yunfeng. I came here from Xi'an specifically to see you. Mr. Wu, I'm here to do you a favor. I want you to show me something. Do you know Wang Xiansheng?"
"Let's go, I don't know you." The old man turned around and hugged the cat and walked away.
"Master Wu!" I hurriedly ran to catch up.
I walked quickly side by side with him, and said shamelessly: "Master Wu, please don't leave. You are a senior of the Northern sect, and I am a junior of the Northern sect. I really encounter people who don't understand. I guess Master Wu is the only one in the world."
You knew already."
"Maybe you are the only one who knows," this sentence may have aroused his interest and made him stop.
"What do you mean?"
It was now past eleven o'clock in the evening. Seeing that there was no one around, I reached out and took out the plastic bag from my pocket, handed it to him and said, "Take a look."
He took the plastic bag suspiciously, hugged the cat with one arm, opened the bag and took a look.
"This isn't grave soil? Why are you digging the grave to find me?"
"You are taking a closer look at, for example, the color."
"Um?"
He illuminated the plastic bag with a flashlight, glanced at it, and then frowned.
"Where did you get this rammed earth?"
I asked if you saw something, could you tell me something?
He threw the plastic bag to me, nodded and said: "Yes, I can see it. It will take thirty years to start and the goal will be endless."
The corner of my mouth twitched, "Whatever you said is just for food."
The old man shook his head and said, "You will know later that the rice is indeed delicious."
"I know Wang Xiansheng, he is a big shot. If you want to know what grave you are planning to dig, come with me. It's not convenient to talk here."
I walked quickly and followed him into Ginkgo Nursing Home.
Wu Xilin lives in a nursing home with her wife. I heard from her that her husband is from Luoping County, Guangxi. She used to live in Shiwanda Mountain and was a tea-picking girl. Now she is getting older and plans to stay in Xianyang for retirement.
The couple lived in room 206 on the second floor. As soon as I entered the room, I smelled a strange smell, just like the smell of diapers that have not been dried after drying.
The room was not big. When I turned on the light, I saw an old lady lying on the bed in the room. The old lady was curled up on the bed. She was covered with several thick quilts. She had no flesh on her face and her eyes were sunken. She was probably not in good health.
.
I don't know why, but as soon as I came in, the old lady lying on the bed kept staring at me, which made me very uncomfortable.
Mr. Wu covered the old lady with a quilt and said he would go to the back room to talk.
After entering the house and closing the door, the old man pointed to the chair and said, "Sit down."
"Young man, you have little experience. It's normal not to know what that thing is. Even I only know it and have never seen the real thing with my own eyes."
It was already late at night. The old man yawned, touched the white cat in his arms and said, "The things in the tomb are called desolate curtains, and almost none of them have been completely preserved."
"Desolate curtain?"
"What it is?"
I said I didn’t know, I had never heard of it.
Mr. Wu explained: "It is a burial method that has appeared since the pre-Qin period. It was popular for a short period of time during the Warring States period, and then disappeared. Are you sure it is a Tang tomb?"
I thought about it carefully, shook my head and said, "I'm not sure yet, but there are more than a dozen tombs from the Tang Dynasty nearby."
"Then we can't conclude that it's a Tang tomb. Be careful, young man. It's best not to touch this kind of thing."
I chatted with him on and off for a while, and then I figured out what Huang Wei was.
The origin of the word "barren curtain" is unknown. It refers to a coffin cover, a huge silk coffin cover.
Just like now there is a seat cover for sitting on a chair, a car cover for driving a car, and a mobile phone case for using a mobile phone.
"Huang curtain" is the coffin cover in ancient times.
This coffin cover is very large, with many layers inside and outside. Sometimes the large curtain not only covers the coffin, but also covers the entire main tomb chamber, blocking the tomb chamber inside.
It is hard to imagine now how spectacular this kind of desolate curtain was. It had not oxidized thousands of years ago, and how bright and new it must have been at that time, how luxurious it must have been.
This also solved my doubts.
Why did Luoyang shovel that night and the silk fabrics that should have been in the coffin ran outside and merged into the rammed soil layer? It was the silk dye that turned the soil red.
This is because thousands of years ago, it was originally outside,
I have never seen such a thing as a desolate curtain, and now I am even more curious about the large tomb under the sulfuric acid plant.
Now that I have figured out what red clay is, there is no need for me to stay.
I was anxious because I had to compete with another group of tomb robbers for time.
I stood up and said, "Thank you very much, Mr. Wu, for clarifying your doubts. I won't disturb your rest."
"You must keep this matter I tell you secret."
"Don't worry, I understand the rules."
He waved his hand, indicating that I could go.
I came out and closed the door. I just walked to the bed.
Suddenly, the old lady lying on the bed grabbed my arm!
"Auntie, what's wrong with you?"
The old lady's eyes were sunken. She held my hand, which was as thin as a chicken claw, and struggled to speak.
