After Xiao Nanzhu came out of the cemetery to worship his grandmother, he stopped by Situ Zhang's house. Although it was always a scourge to put the fine Tai Sui there, but because the family was temporarily watched by Qingming, he never What will go wrong.

It just so happens that today is the Ching Ming Festival, so Situ Zhang also took a break at home, his father went out to play chess, and when Xiao Nanzhu came, his mother hurriedly made a basket of greens made in the morning Tuan brought it out for him, and not only kept asking him to sit down and eat before leaving, he also told him to go to the kitchen and put some Qing Tuan and Umi rice for him to take away.

"My mother, just sit down and rest. This youth group is all food for children. How old is Anan? Why do you take it home? Besides, you can buy it outside, where is it every year? It’s all so tossing..."

"Who said that! Anan, when you were a kid, you liked the Qingtuan made by me the most. I made this bean paste with sesame seeds by myself. It's not much cleaner than the outside!"

"Everything, I can't tell you, I can't tell you..."

Situ Zhang reluctantly sat on the bamboo stool at the door and shouted into the kitchen. Xiao Nanzhu couldn't help but laughed when he saw his shriveled appearance. He took Situ Zhang, who had nothing to do with his own mother, to see him. Wanting to kick him, Xiao Nanzhu shrewdly hid and returned him with a kick.

Because it rained in the morning, the steps at this door were full of water, and Situ Zhang, who was in the kitchen where the two of them were so heartless and naturally bluffing, heard it too, and stuck out staring. After cursing a few words, the old lady watched the two of them squat down in the corridor and smoke together like a monkey child, and then she retracted again and went to make some delicious food for Xiao Nanzhu.

"The bastard, stepped on my face...but it seems to be a success, look at you so awkwardly..."

Said with a low voice, Situ Zhang's complexion has improved a lot since the Chinese New Year. The gloomy feeling because of being too thin in the past is gone, because Xiao Nanzhu helped him drive his family of three. After returning to the evil spirits, his overall luck also followed up a lot. However, his facial features are naturally delicate and feminine, only because he often wears that old-fashioned dress at work makes him look weird. At this moment, he was talking to Xiao Nanzhu veiledly, Xiao Nanzhu who heard the words also smiled back to him frankly, and seeing Xiao Nanzhu's silent tacit appearance, even though he had just learned about his sexuality problem, But as a friend, Situ Zhang was still happy for him.

"Eh, it’s good too. It’s great to have someone by my side. My father and my mother are urging me all day long, but I really don’t want to make do with this until I meet the right person, but I’ll do it for that Sorry, buddies, this scourge of you is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Don't let down others in the future. After all, you are so old, and you are not allowed to do anything about your self-esteem and self-love. You know Xiao Nanzhu... …"

Situ Zhang’s words of severe damage to him made Xiao Nanzhu speechless, but he also knew that he had a lot of dark history in Situ Zhang, so he was cured after he coughed. He nodded angrily, but Situ Zhang, who was rarely seen in his serious appearance, was also happy, squinting his eyes and said.

"When will you bring the family to have a meal together? If you are all a family, don’t be polite. I will help you to see each other, eh, what does your mouth do? It’s a fitness coach. Still a sports school boy..."

"Fuck!"

Listening to him getting more and more disrespectful, Xiao Nanzhu cursed and tried to slap him. Situ Zhang smiled and stepped on a puddle again without paying attention. People who are almost 30 years old, these two people still play the same way as they did when they were teenagers. Everything is still the same as they lived in the old alley many years ago, and it also reveals the slack energy of the two of them when they went to skip classes and play games together. This gave Xiao Nanzhu, who has been keeping a state of mental tension recently, a moment of relaxation. And just when he stayed for noon and was about to leave Situ Zhang's house, Xiao Nanzhu had just walked to the door carrying a box of Qingtuan, and Situ Zhang's his mother called his name and chased him out.

"Eh, Anan, look at my memory, I just forgot to tell you, two days ago I was tidying up things at home and suddenly picked up something for you..."

Situ Zhang said his mother out of breath, Xiao Nanzhu who heard the words was a little unclear, but he still patiently listened to the old lady finishing her words, and the old lady who saw it gave herself a ride, and then let it go. I took out a small copper lock with a strange shape in my pocket and handed it to Xiao Nanzhu’s hand before intermittently explaining,

"Your uncle thinks there are too many messy things in the house. Two days ago, I watched throwing away some old furniture and objects that were not needed for sale. It didn't matter at first, but I ended up that morning. I saw this little brass lock when I was cleaning the cabinet of Zhang Zhangfang’s primary school textbook... Do you remember this thing? When I was a child, I remember it was hanging around your neck, but one day you lost it. Now, your grandma beat you up so madly... Now think about it, what day do you think you came to play at home and left this lock on Zhang Zhang. It is also this kid who is careless. It hasn’t been for so many years. I found it out, and now I found it for you. This is what you have always carried with you, but you can't lose it anymore, Anan..."

When the voice fell, a cool metal object fell on the palm of Xiao Nanzhu's palm. The brass lock was glowing in the color of brass as a whole. It didn't look like a valuable thing, but the strangeness lies here. The chain and even the lock on the brass lock were engraved with weird patterns, not like the cumbersome patterns of the nation. When he subconsciously picked up the brass lock and looked at the light under the cloudy sky, his mind was completely right. Xiao Nanzhu who had no impression of this matter asked suspiciously,

"Why don't I remember I had this thing? This is something I have always carried? Well? This is..."

Speaking like this, the voice stopped abruptly. Situ Zhang and his mother looked at Xiao Nanzhu in front of him, but his expression changed, but he didn't understand what mystery he saw from the brass lock here, so he squinted his eyes. After looking at the strange and familiar fonts in the center of the lock, Xiao Nanzhu's complexion first tightened his hand to the cold lock, then lowered his head and asked Situ Zhang's mother.

"Auntie, do you really remember that I always brought this thing? Did my grandma buy it for me after? Or did I bring it before my grandma picked it up?"

Xiao Nanzhu's question was a bit straightforward. Situ Zhang was a little embarrassed when asked, but still wanted to take care of his emotions. However, since Xiao Nanzhu asked this question, it must have his deep meaning, so At the moment, the old lady didn’t want to cause trouble to Xiao Nanzhu. After thinking about it carefully, she spoke categorically,

"Yes, it's what you always carried. When you were picked up by your grandma, you didn't have anything on your body. You only had a suit that didn't look like ours and this lock was hung around your neck. Guess your parents may be an ethnic minority working here. The children can't afford to support them so they are given... and you were four or five years old at that time but you couldn't even speak Chinese, so..."

Situ Zhang's mother stopped talking when he said this. It was all a few years ago, but she was afraid that Xiao Nanzhu would be sad because of this. Xiao Nanzhu didn't care about this because he His mind is completely occupied by something. After all, if he was still full of doubts about his ability to understand the strange text before, then now he is more concerned about what he has to do with the text. Feeling puzzled, and thinking of this, Xiao Nanzhu, who had a somber complexion, didn't waste time at the moment, so he put the brass lock in his bag and quickly greeted Situ Zhang and his mother ran away.

The lock has always been used as an accessory to beg for good luck in traditional culture. In the old days, this kind of thing was mainly brought to the children before adulthood, such as longevity locks and so on. Adults with congenital diseases. Because its meaning is very good, there will be various materials corresponding to it. The most traditional and common ones are gold, silver, copper, iron, jade, jade, and jade. Children from wealthy families will have their own lock or jade pendant since they were born. This is because the children in ancient times were due to underdeveloped medical conditions. It's easy to die, and another reason is that things like gold, silver, jade, and the like are the best and most aura of the rocks.

In ancient times, it was often said that mountains have spirituality. A mountain is composed of thousands of stones, but only a small part of it hides its essence. If one of these stones is turned into gorgeous precious gold and silver gems, then naturally they will have the wisdom of the mountain. This kind of wisdom does not mean that they can utter words, but that after people dig out ores from the mountains and make them into jewelry and wear them, these gold and silver jewelry will become the owner's amulet, and more Even worse, it can prevent life and death for the person wearing him.

This argument has been around for a long time. It’s also because of the quality of jade, jade, etc., that some special regions are very expensive. Among the Chinese folk taboos, there is a jade pendant that can protect people from disasters early on. If the jade pendant you bring is lost one day, it means that it has blocked you from a bad luck. And in Cao Xueqin’s Dream of the Red Chamber, it has been mentioned many times. When it comes to the saying that the longevity lock and jade pendant are closely related to people’s luck, this has to add a bit of mystery to the jade, gold, and silver that seem to be dead but seem particularly mysterious. For Xiao Nanzhu at this moment, he was also full of doubts about the lock in his hand that was not ordinary gold and silver jewelry.

From the material point of view, the lock that is said to accompany him is really cheap. Unlike iron and copper, it is not worth a few dollars. The special thing about it is that it looks like a totem of ethnic minorities, and in the middle of the lock there is a word that Xiao Nanzhu has to care about.

"Ji."

The strange word was unconsciously spit out in his mouth, Xiao Nanzhu couldn't understand why he knew this word, nor did he understand what it had to do with his own life experience. After all, if you are really a minority, then no one knows or understands this word. But he lived with his grandmother when he was four or five years old. After living in a Han environment for so long, he should have forgotten everything that belonged to his past.

But what is strange is that instead of forgetting at all, he can still remember these words immediately. This is really unbelievable, and what is even more inexplicable is that as far as Xiao Nanzhu knows, China is currently It is known that there is no special ethnic group with Ji character among ethnic minorities. Then he can only continue to search for the meaning of Ji character, and he carries this lock with such complicated emotions. When he was about to find Peng Dong and his department's authentication department to test the specific ingredients, he suddenly received a call from the museum staff named Luo Jia.
