son. "
"Shunzi! It's so early, what's the rush?" The aunt's voice carried the dryness of Fang getting up.
"My father, I want to bring two uncles to find you." Shunzi replied through the door.
"Find me?"
The door swung open.The aunt saw that it was Zhang Wei and Jiang Long, and raised her voice: "It's two gentlemen, please come in, come in quickly!"
"Mother, uncle. I have to go back and help."
Seeing that the task was completed, the boy turned around and disappeared around the corner in a flash.
Aunt Ma led the two of them inside, walked through the courtyard, and came to the lobby full of ancient flavors. In front of some simple Ming and Qing style seats, she entertained the two guests.
"Sit down, please. I'll go in and make a pot of tea."
"no need."
Zhang Wei immediately said to Aunt Ma: "Ma'am, I take the liberty to disturb you early in the morning. I speculate that what the Japanese are looking for may be related to your ancestors."
Aunt Ma looked at Zhang Wei with doubts in her eyes.
"With me?"
Zhang Wei continued: "If the name "Ma Sanbao" is recorded in the genealogy of your ancestors, that is, the great eunuch "Zheng He" in the Ming Dynasty, I suggest that you and your family go to other places to escape as soon as possible."
The aunt didn't know if she just got up, she was still half awake and half unconscious, or she couldn't make up her mind for a while, and couldn't string together Zhang Wei's series of warnings.Still confused, he frowned and replied, "I don't know much about this matter. I have to ask... my old man. You sit down and let me go and ask me to be the head of the house."
Just as the aunt finished speaking, an old, hoarse but cautious male voice came from the back of the hall: "Who is it? Who is looking for Ma Sanbao?"
Then a skinny old gentleman, about seventy years old, with thin cheeks, a white goat beard, sunken eye sockets like copper coins, grizzled hair, and a bony old man, with a sturdy tree-trunk-shaped cane, and dressed in a green robe, Stamped out slowly from the box room on the east side, Mrs. Ma hurried forward to help.
After the old man sat down, Aunt Ma introduced Zhang Wei and Jiang Long: "Dr. Zhang, Mr. Jiang, this is our old man."
"Master Ma! Hello!"
Aunt Ma explained to the old man the intention of Zhang Wei and Jiang Long.After listening to the auntie's explanation, the old gentleman, whose eyes were full of hostility, didn't want to ask the two of them sternly, "Are you looking for Ma Sanbao?"
"Old man, it's not that we are looking for Ma Sanbao, it is the Japanese who are looking for Ma Sanbao." Jiang Long hurriedly explained with wet sweat on his face.
Zhang Wei also rushed to speak: "Mr. Ma, we both went to Niu Shou Mountain last night. We explored the tomb of Zheng He, the eunuch of the Three Treasures. We found the devil...not only sent guards to stand guard, but also the cemetery showed signs of being manipulated." Because Zheng He's surname is Ma, we were in Boss Liu's shop yesterday, and we heard Mrs. Ma say that someone came to inquire about the genealogy, and then mentioned the registration of household registration. So, I am worried... this matter may have something to do with the family, Hurry up and warn you."
After listening to the explanations of the two visitors, instead of being grateful, the old gentleman stared fiercely, flashing strong doubts and distrust, and reprimanded in a questioning tone: "What are you two doing on Niu Shou Mountain in the middle of the night? Sure. Didn't you do something open and aboveboard...going to rob graves?"
Asked the old gentleman to ask such a question, the two visitors were stunned for a moment; when they came back to their senses, Jiang Long felt a sense of indignation. Scholars can bear it, familiarity can't bear it."
At that moment, Jiang Long didn't care about his status as a guest, so he yelled back at Uncle Ma: "Who robbed the tomb? If it really happened to go up the mountain to rob the tomb, why did I inform you? It's so kind to be a donkey!"
Zhang Wei was also very surprised, he didn't expect Uncle Ma to interpret their tip-offs in such a way.But unlike Jiang Long, he suppressed his astonishment and displeasure, and tried to calmly explain to the old man: "Mr., you misunderstood. We are not grave robbers. I am a historian. I came to China this time to find some peace. Information on cultural relics related to the Ming Dynasty. Because I heard that the Japanese sealed off Zhongshan and Niushou Mountain in Nanjing, I felt something strange. So I secretly went up to the mountain to find out..."
Zhang Wei replied politely, but the old man replied with sharp words like a knife: "What are you Americans doing to this matter? You foreign devils need to intervene!? You must be working hand in hand with the Japanese... Snake Mouse A litter of... don't take care of yourself!"
After hearing her master's reply, Aunt Ma was embarrassed, and hurriedly said, "Old man, Dr. Zhang is a kind person, don't misunderstand him."
The old man was still hostile, he stared back at Madam Ma, and angrily said: "What do women know!"
The aunt didn't dare to help anymore, so she had to stand aside quietly.
Jiang Long on the other side heard the master's series of almost insulting and scolding, and immediately added fuel to the flames. He was so angry that he immediately got up, turned around, pulled Zhang Wei, and walked towards the gate: "Let's go, don't waste time in This old immortal body who knows no good or bad."
Zhang Wei took Jiang Long's arm, took a deep breath, calmed down his emotions, and then said calmly: "Mr., no matter which country's historic sites are the common cultural heritage of all mankind. Me and my Friends will do everything they can to protect them. Leave a chance for future generations to learn about their ancestors. If you think that we are tomb robbers or that we are with the Japanese... It is a pity! However, if your government really cooperates with The Zheng He family is related. I suggest that you find a place to hide first. I will not disturb you, so I will bid farewell.”
After Zhang Yi finished speaking, he did not forget to bow and salute, then turned around and turned around with Jiang Long to leave.
Unexpectedly, although the old gentleman is old, his anger is no less than that of the yellow-haired boy.When the two outsiders turned around and walked out of the hall, they still did not forget to add a series of swear words.
"Get out. Get out. Bastard... scum... scum..."
Jiang Long was furious, he wanted to turn his head around and choke back, but he forced Zhang Wei to stop him.Without looking back, the two passed through the courtyard and came to the gate.Unexpectedly, another sentence in Japanese came from behind.
"Bag Yelu!"
Jiang Long couldn't hold back his birdishness any longer, turned his head and yelled into the room: "What are you talking about, we are not devils. Only devils can understand nonsense!"
Zhang Wei also felt astonished.Unexpectedly, a sentence of Japanese came out of the old gentleman's mouth.He believes that he and Jiang Long are the lackeys of the Japanese.Although I felt wronged, I thought it would be useless to explain more at this time.He dragged the red-faced Jiang Long towards the gate.The aunt who rushed to the door had an apologetic face and bowed frequently to apologize.
Jiang Long hated the Japanese to death, and now he is being treated as a lackey and a traitor. He could hardly swallow his useless mouth. He threw Zhang Zhen's hand away, turned around, and cursed at Uncle Ma inside the room. : "Old guy. I think you are old and dim-witted? You can't tell the difference between devils and people. My hometown is in northern Jiangsu. During the Taierzhuang War, the whole village crossed borders to help fight devils. Now you call your own people as devils. A joke. ! I see you are out-and-out...blind..."old and not dead"."
Zhang Wei's face was full of embarrassment, he didn't expect to come to warn him with good intentions, but he became so stiff.In desperation, he turned around and prepared to leave. Unexpectedly, after calling Jiang Long to scold him, the old gentleman did not continue to utter bad words, but his face calmed down. He coughed twice, and shouted angrily from behind: "You two stay behind. .”
Jiang Long was so angry that he pretended not to hear, and continued to walk towards the gate.
"This old man... is really blind... I will apologize to the two gentlemen, please stay."
The old gentleman got up, turned towards Zhang Wei and Jiang Long's backs, bowed his waist and made a big bow.
"Dr. Zhang, Mr. Jiang, please forgive me for being rude, please stay."
Only then did Zhang Wei stop.But Jiang Long still didn't look back after his anger disappeared, so Zhang Wei had no choice but to move forward quickly, grabbing his angry companion.Jiang Long stopped and turned around, only to see that the old man was still bent over, bowing before turning back to straighten his body.Zhang Wei quickly walked forward, passed through the atrium patio, and went straight into the lobby, helped the master up, helped the old man back to the original chair, and waved Jiang Long to close the open door.
"What is the old woman doing there? Hurry up and show these two gentlemen some tea!"
After the old man sat down, he regained his appearance as the head of the family in the blink of an eye, and began to give orders like a commander.Aunt Ma immediately turned around and entered.
"No need. Mr. Ma, you should hurry up and think about it. What should we do?"
I saw that the old gentleman waved his hand, asking the aunt to continue to move, and then calmly said: "It's not in the way, this matter has nothing to do with us, don't worry about it."
Unexpectedly, just as the old gentleman's words fell, there was a rush of knocking on the door at the other end.The low and reverberating sound penetrated the gate, passed through the patio, and came straight to the hall, and the room suddenly fell into a chilling silence.
"The Japanese... came to the door so quickly?"
Zhang Wei was startled secretly, and immediately gestured to Jiang Long and the elders of the Ma family, and Jiang Long quickly and quietly moved behind the gate.
At this time the knock on the door sounded again.The deep knock on the door was as loud and clear as the morning bell of the Hanshan Temple outside Suzhou City in the quiet early morning, and the sound was like a heavy hammer hitting everyone's chest, almost breaking people's liver and gallbladder.
curious coincidence
Nanjing in [-]
Holding back the jump in his chest, Jiang Long took out the gun from his arms, and leaning against the thick wooden door, facing the coming change, beads of sweat poured down from his forehead.Mrs. Ma was so frightened by this transformation that her face seemed to be sprinkled with a large amount of white flour, her whole body trembled, her lips trembled, but she couldn't open her mouth for a long time.Zhang Wei lightly held Aunt Ma's shoulders, and made a look. Then Auntie came back to her senses and swallowed her saliva several times before she said it.
"Who? Who?"
However, outside the door, half a ring
