Postscript (3)



From Jing*zhou to Songzi, we got off the expressway and transferred to Baishi Town, then we were close to Liu Dong’s destination this time, Guanjiachong!

Nearly fifteen years have passed since Liu Dong first came here. Everything in Guan Jiachong has changed tremendously in the past fifteen years since he first came here.

Jiahua Tourism Development Company, a subsidiary of Hanhua Group, has built this place into a nationally renowned 4a-level scenic spot.

Naturally, the mountain road entering Guanjiachong will no longer be as bumpy as when Liu Dong came.

"Dad, are we here to play?"

Looking at the occasional tourist buses passing by and the increasingly beautiful scenery, Liu Niandong, who was sitting in the car, couldn't help but curiously asked.

"Yes! Yaya like it?"

"Of course I like it, but it would be great if my mother and brother came together!"

"We will have the opportunity to come together in the future!" Liu Dong said warmly, stroking his daughter's soft black hair.

While the father and daughter were chatting and admiring the lush scenery around them, the Land Rover had entered the valley where Guan Jiachong was located along the winding but not rugged winding mountain road.

Compared with when Liu Dong first came here, it was just a hilly terrace full of rice. Although there are still rice fields now, the area has been greatly reduced.

What is really eye-catching is a simple and huge bluestone archway across the avenue, as well as the neat antique buildings on both sides of the archway. It can be seen from the bulletin boards hanging around that these antique buildings standing at the entrance of the village are

Hotel providing accommodation for tourists!

Many tour buses coming in from outside stop here to check in.

Liu Dong just took a look at these, and then ordered the driver to follow the flat asphalt road into the village and drove past the bluestone archway that said "Guanjiachong Scenic Area".

Not far after passing the Bluestone Archway, Liu Dong could already see the hill a few hundred meters away on the right side of the road.

"parking!"

"Creak...!"

With a slightly harsh friction sound, the Land Rover stopped on the right side of the road. Immediately, Liu Dong opened the door and walked out.

Standing on the side of the road, looking at the hills in the distance, Liu Dong had a hint of memory in his eyes.

Over the years, he has found many treasures through relic Yuanguang, but the one that impressed him most was Guan Jiachong. This is where he got his first treasure.

"Liu...Liu Dong?"

The almost completely unfamiliar voice made Liu Dong startled. After retracting his attention from the distant memories, he turned and looked in the direction of the voice from behind. He saw a man wearing white on the black Audi parked next to his Land Rover.

A middle-aged man wearing a short-sleeved shirt, with a medium build, and a thin face with a serious look on his face, but now with a hint of disbelief and excitement appeared in Liu Dong's eyes.

After briefly sizing up the other person, Liu Dong suddenly said: "Are you... County Magistrate Liu?"

"It's rare that you still remember me!"

"Of course! I am deeply impressed by County Magistrate Liu's calligraphy!"

As he said that, Liu Dong took hold of the other person's right hand that he extended out.

"When it comes to calligraphy, I can't compare to you and everyone in the National Calligraphy Association. Also, don't call me County Magistrate Liu, I have retired a long time ago!"

Liu Dong was not surprised by Liu Weijun's retirement. More than ten years have passed, and Liu Weijun, who was in his early forties, is now nearly sixty. Even if he does not retire, he will go to the National People's Congress for retirement.

After listening to Liu Weijun's words, Liu Dong smiled and then asked: "Uncle Liu, is Mr. Liu still there now?"

"Here, still! The Guan family has good mountains and rivers to support people. My father is already eighty years old and his health looks better than mine!"

"Yes, this is a good place!" After saying this, Liu Dong's eyes swept across the small mound not far away, and his words were filled with emotion.

However, Liu Weijun did not find anything unusual in Liu Dong's words.

"Is this your daughter?" Liu Weijun asked curiously, looking at the little girl who was leaning next to Liu Dong and looking at him curiously.

"Well! Yaya, please call Grandpa Liu!"

"Hello, Grandpa Liu!"

"Hey, this girl is so good!...Liu Dong, looking at you like this, you just came here today, right?"

"Well, after so many years, I wanted to come over and have a look! I didn't expect to meet you, Uncle Liu, as soon as I entered the village!"

"Haha, that still means that we two are destined!... Come with me, our old man has been talking about you a lot these years!"

"Okay! It just so happens that I miss Mr. Liu a lot. It was thanks to him that he took me in when I first came here. Otherwise, I'm afraid I would have to sleep in the wilderness...!"

With that said, the two of them got into Liu Dong's Land Rover at the same time, and then drove along the flat asphalt road toward the shabby mountain village in the distance that had been repaired and was definitely different from what Liu Dong had seen in the past.

Meeting Mr. Liu again was destined to be a joyful meeting, and the old man was particularly affectionate towards Yaya who came with Liu Dongtong.

That night, Liu Dong did not refuse Mr. Liu's invitation and stayed again in his old man's house, which had been renovated several times over the past ten years and added many modern appliances.

After dinner, I and Mr. Liu and his son enjoyed the cool air in the yard. After chatting for a while, they went back to their rooms around ten o'clock.

And in the early morning, after watching his daughter sleeping next to him, Liu Dong got dressed and prepared to complete the most important thing in his visit to Guanjiachong.

Because there was no moonlight, the night looked very dark in the early morning, but this did not have much impact on Liu Dong.

After using the relic Yuanguang to leave the village, it didn't take long before he came to the small mound he had looked at in the morning again.

Nothing has changed!

More than ten years later, the tomb of King Chuzhuang, which had been basically robbed and excavated, is still the same as when Liu Dong left it. The huge tomb is filled with water stains.

"It should come to an end today!"

As soon as the thought fell, Liu Dong's body instantly sank into the ground.

The water in the tomb is not a problem at all for Liu Dong today. The mustard space can easily accommodate them all.

After cleaning up the water and mud underground, Liu Dong stepped on the wet bluestone floor and arrived at the main tomb chamber where the coffins were supposed to be stored.

Because of the excavation, after the water was cleared, there were many damaged bronze and lacquerware scattered around. Of course, they were not of much value in the eyes of tomb robbers.

Liu Dong did not come here to rob the tomb this time, nor did he want to destroy the traces inside, so he just took a brief look and then focused on the center of the tomb chamber.

There are clear traces of friction and depression on the rocky ground there. It is obvious that the main coffin of the tomb was placed here.

After looking at the marks on the ground for a while, Liu Dong shook his head slightly and waved his hand. A huge bronze coffin with a length and width of about three to four meters, a weight of nearly ten tons, and exquisite patterns engraved on the four walls appeared in the center of the tomb!

It is the main coffin of the body of King Chuzhuang that Liu Dong kept in his mustard space for nearly fifteen years.

Taking two steps forward and touching the cold outer wall of the giant bronze coffin, Liu Dong sighed slightly.

Over the years, he has recklessly taken out some of the things he obtained from the tomb of King Chuzhuang countless times and published them in front of the world. But his reason stopped all this.

Although the status of the Liu family and the influence of the Hanhua Consortium are top-notch in the world, this does not mean that Liu Dong can truly do whatever he wants.

If the Chuzhuang King's coffin is really taken out, its influence will definitely not be replaced by a few top-notch bronzes. If there is no truly logical and conclusive evidence to prove its origin, it will only be a loss to the Liu family. It will bring trouble to himself, and in the end this thing will probably be turned over to the state.

Therefore, after Liu Dong thought about it for a while, he decided to put the coffin of King Chuzhuang back.

Also put back were the 'Jingzhou Ding', one of the 'Jiuzhou Ding' that could not be brought to life through his hands! As well as two 4-meter-high bronze tomb beasts, as well as a large number of bronzes with Chu characters.

Liu Dong didn't want the theft of King Chuzhuang's tomb to have anything to do with him.

Even so, the nearly half of the bronzes he obtained from the tomb of King Chuzhuang was already enough!

Liu Dong put all the bronze vessels that he had long expected to put back into the tomb, and then poured out the water in the mustard space again. After submerging the entire tomb, Liu Dong retreated along the original path.

Standing on the mountainside, looking at the mounds at his feet, Liu Dong felt a little complicated. It was not that he was reluctant to give up, but that he was relieved after solving an important matter that had been pressing on his heart.

Over the past ten years, Liu Dong has acquired enough. Various treasures and countless art treasures have now filled the underground collection of the Yuanmingyuan Museum.

There is no need to take unnecessary risks.

Moreover, for Liu Dong now, family and affection come first, and collecting only comes second!

"It's like a reincarnation! It starts here and ends here!"

The sighing words disappeared in the cool wind of summer night.

Guan Jiachong's life was very comfortable, but it was destined not to belong to Liu Dong. After completing the main tasks of his visit, Liu Dong took his daughter to play for three days, and then embarked on his return journey.

As for the tomb of King Chuzhuang, Liu Dong has no intention of opening it himself. Of course, he also does not intend to keep this tomb hidden. Maybe two years, maybe three years. As long as Liu Dong makes some arrangements, this tomb destined to shock the world will truly presented to the world.



As time gets closer and closer to the opening of the Old Summer Palace Museum, it, the pinnacle of Chinese imperial gardens that has gathered many art treasures and has been resounding around the world for centuries, has begun to attract more and more attention from around the world. .

“I didn’t expect that an old man like me would be able to see it truly appear in front of the world in my lifetime!”

Facing the rising sun in the east, standing on the second floor of Zhengda Guangming Hall, climbing up and looking at the beautiful scenery on the ground, Li Renfang, who had white hair and beard, said with emotion on his face.

In fact, it was not just Mr. Li who was feeling emotional. Liu Dong, who was running around for this huge museum and doing everything possible to collect the collections, was filled with emotion.

After a moment of silence, Mr. Li withdrew his gaze and said calmly to Liu Dong: "Xiaodong, after today's opening ceremony, the development of the museum will be officially handed over to you!"

"Mr. Li, what are you doing?" Liu Dong was stunned.

"I'm retiring! I'm almost a hundred years old. Although my body is still strong thanks to you these years. But after all, time is not forgiving. It's time to retire and enjoy a few days of leisure!"

After listening to Mr. Li's words and looking at his head of white hair, Liu Dong didn't say anything to save him.

He knew that even if he could ensure the old man's health, he could not greedily continue to let the elderly Mr. Li work in the position of director.

Moreover, Mr. Li has worked hard in running the operation of the Yuanming Museum over the years, and his hard work has paid off. Now it is time to retire and enjoy his old age!

"Mr. Li, thank you for taking care of the museum these years...!"

"Forget the polite words, there is no need to talk about this between the two of us!" Mr. Li waved his hand to interrupt Liu Dong, "Also, although I am retired, old man, I will still come over for a stroll every now and then.

Are you not allowed to charge my ticket money?"

"of course not!"

"Haha, let's go! The museum is opening today, and there are a lot of things to do!" After patting Liu Dong on the shoulder with a smile, the old man turned and walked downstairs.

Liu Dong naturally followed suit.

But just as the two of them walked out of the Zhengda Guangming Hall, Liu Dong's cell phone suddenly rang.

Taking out his cell phone and looking at it, Liu Dong's eyes showed a hint of joy.

"Mr. Li, you go first, I have something to deal with here!"

"Okay, but don't forget the opening ceremony. You, the protagonist, cannot be absent no matter what!" Mr. Li instructed.

"Don't worry, I promise I won't be late!"

"That's good, I'm leaving first!"

After watching Mr. Li's back getting further and further away, Liu Dong turned around and walked around the Zhengda Guangming Hall toward the back where the Western-style Building Scenic Area was.

Liu Dong, who was anxious in his heart, did not pay attention to the curious eyes of the security guards and service staff around him. Without stopping, he used his fastest time to reach the famous Haiyan Hall inside the Xiyanglou Scenic Area.

Under the golden morning sun, twelve clear water columns spurted out from the twelve zodiac bronze statues on both sides, falling in the center of the pool with a pleasant sound of water, splashing with waves, and also reflected the scenery behind.

The white *** style building is particularly magnificent.

But no matter how magnificent the building is, it cannot be more attractive than the beautiful figure standing in front of the window on the second floor of Shanghai Yuantang, staring at him.

If it weren't for the fact that he didn't want to shock the world, Liu Dong would have directly used his tyrannical physical ability to fly over.

"You came?"

"Yes, why don't you call me in advance?"

"I only arrived last night!"

"Actually, you can...!" Halfway through his words, Liu Dong stopped in a dejected tone.

Over the years, he has said the same thing countless times, but Jiang Yan has never promised him, even now that they have two children.

Facing Liu Dong's dejection, Jiang Yan showed a trace of guilt on her face, but it quickly disappeared! Although she followed her inner feelings to be with Liu Dong, she also followed her own feelings and would never approach him.

Family.(To be continued.)
