    ?

    "Excuse me, which of you two is Mr. Li Haotian?"

    A word from the old man brought my eyes back from the place where the woman disappeared.

    I turned my head and met the old man's eyes. I nodded quickly and replied, "I am. I still don't know why the old man wants us to come this time. You said at the beginning that it was inconvenient to explain on the phone, but now you can say it."  ?"

    The old man smiled at me, and then whispered something in the ear of another woman next to him, who nodded, then turned and left.

    "You two, wait a moment, the painting will be brought right away." The old man picked up the teacup in front of him and took a small sip.

    Cao Ming and I looked at each other, and we both chose to remain silent.

    After a while, the woman came back with an extra scroll in her hand.

    After the woman walked to the old man's side, she handed the scroll to the old man.

    The old man waved to the woman, who nodded slightly, then turned and left the yard.

    Now, there are only three of us left in this yard.  The old man gently placed the scroll on the table in front of him, and slowly opened it with trembling hands.

    When the scroll was fully unfolded, Cao Ming and I got up and moved closer, our eyes fell on the scroll at the same time.

    This is a landscape painting, which belongs to the kind of thick ink landscape painting.  But soon, I discovered some clues.

    The first impression of this painting is indeed a thick ink landscape painting, but as long as you look carefully, it is not a landscape painting, but drawn with charcoal.

    Moreover, there is another doubtful point about this painting, that is, it has not been signed.

    Everyone knows that as long as it is a painting or a piece of writing, you must leave your own font size on it.  But this painting did not leave the painter's name.

    When I raised my head and was about to ask the old man, the old man spoke: "Did you see something?"

    I nodded and asked, "Where did you get this painting?"

    The old man laughed, but did not answer my question, and continued to ask: "Can you see which dynasty's painting this is?"

    Hearing the old man's question, Cao Ming and I looked at each other, straightened up and looked at the old man, and replied: "The junior's aptitude is still low, so I can't tell which dynasty the painting is from."

    The old man chuckled, stretched out his hand and folded the map in half, then laid it flat on the table again, and said, "Look at it again."

    When the old man said this, I was a little confused and asked: "You"

    But before I finished speaking, I felt Cao Ming pull my arm, and turned to look at Cao Ming in confusion.

    I saw Cao Ming stood up and said to the old man: "Old man, if my guess is correct, you already know the secret of the scroll."

    After hearing what Cao Ming said, the old man smiled and asked, "Why do you say that?"

    "Okay, let's not go around in circles anymore, let's get straight to the point." Cao Ming sat back on the chair, staring closely at the old man.

    At this time, the old man did not answer Cao Ming directly, but raised his head and glanced behind us.  Although this action is very inconspicuous, the old man has repeated it many times.  Once or twice I don't really care, but he has repeated it at least seven or eight times.  And every time we look behind us when talking about important issues, this not only makes me a little bit suspicious.

    "You are not the old man who invited us, say, who are you?" After thinking for a while, I stood up and stared at the old man in front of me and asked loudly.

    The old man was also taken aback by my sudden voice, and his expression became tense.

    "III am the one who invited you here, believe it or not." The old man was so frightened that he stuttered a bit when I said that.

    "Old Yang, step back, they have already seen through your identity."

    At this moment, an old voice suddenly came from the room behind me.

    In front of our eyes, after hearing these words, the man called Lao Yang stood up and bowed towards the room, then turned and left the yard.

    "You two come in, I am the one looking for you." When Lao Yang left the yard, the old voice in the room sounded again.

    "Squeak"

    With the sound of the door opening, a white-haired old man appeared in front of our eyes.

    The moment I entered the door, I took a rough look at the room.

    The layout of the room is very simple, a bed, a table and four stools, this is all the furnishings in the room.

    And the old man who spoke was sitting upright on the bed at this time.

    Hearing our footsteps, the old man slowly opened his eyes.

    "Please sit down." The old man spoke very slowly, sounding very kind.

    Cao Ming and I obediently sat down around the table, and waited for the old man's next move.

    "Old man, what do you want us to do here?" After a moment of silence, Cao Ming asked first.

    The old man nodded and said: "I invite you to come here for one thing, which is very simple to say, and difficult to say."

    "Is that difficult or easy?" Cao Ming looked at the old man and asked.

    The old man didn't answer Cao Ming's question, but pointed at me and said, "Young man, where you are sitting, there is a drawer on the table, you open the drawer, and what I want you to do is written on it.  "

    I froze for a moment, then looked down, and there was indeed a drawer.

    Pulling the drawer open, I took a look at the contents inside, and it turned out to be a map.

    "Could it be" Looking at the unopened map in my hand, I think I already understand what the old man wants us to do.

    "This is a map, which records a tomb. I have been looking for this tomb for sixty years, but I haven't found it until now. Now I give my hope to you, and I hope you can fulfill this wish for me.  "

    Hearing what the old man said, I was a little curious. What kind of tomb is it that a person has been searching for for sixty years? What will be inside?

    "this matter¡­"

    "If you feel that there is not enough manpower, you can ask my Serena, and he will solve this matter for you." Seeing that Cao Ming was in trouble, the old man said directly.

    "I don't care about manpower, but we don't want to be involved in such things as hand-to-hand fighting anymore. So please ask the old man to hire someone else." After finishing speaking, Cao Ming lowered his head.

    "Alas" the old man sighed, "It seems that I won't be able to see the things in the tomb in this life, so that's good, so that no one will know where the Qinhuang Mausoleum really is."

    "What did you say? You said Qinhuangling?" Although the voice of the old man was very low, the words Qinhuangling exploded in my ears like thunder.

    The old man nodded and said: "Some texts on this map do record some things about Qinhuang's Mausoleum, but I have searched all over China, but I still can't find 'him'. This is also my greatest wish in this life. If you  If I refuse to make a move, my wish will only come to nothing.¡±

    "Are you sure this map can find the Qinhuangdao?" I looked at the map in my hand and asked excitedly.

    The old man shook his head and said: "According to the written records above, besides this map, there are three other maps. As long as you find the remaining three maps, you can unlock the location of Qin Huangling's Mausoleum."

    After listening to the old man's words, I became extremely excited.

    I turned my head and looked at Cao Ming, wanting to ask his opinion, Cao Ming shook his head and said he didn't care.

    "Okay, I promise to help you with this." After saying this, I tightly gripped the map in my hand.

    Hearing that I agreed, the old man smiled and said, "After you find the real Qinhuangdao, I only have one request, and that is to take me to Qinhuangdao personally, is that okay?"

    I nodded and replied: "Don't worry, old man, I will definitely bring you with me when I find Qinhuang's Mausoleum."

    The old man nodded in relief, then slowly closed his eyes, and said in his mouth: "It's getting late now, you should go back to rest early, and let's talk about specific matters tomorrow." Although the old man's attitude changed very much  Fast, but still can't hide the excitement in my heart.

    After we walked out the door, I couldn't help but feel a little confused. I just agreed to his request, but I was not completely sure of finding the Qinhuangling Tomb, but why was he so excited?

    At this time, Lao Yang, who had just started to meet us, came over. After walking to our side, Lao Yang said: "The room is ready for the two of you, please come with me."  A gesture of please.

    After Lao Yang took us to the room, he left, but the exhortation he gave before leaving aroused my curiosity.

    "If you have nothing to do, it's best not to go out at night, both of you."
