The ace all-rounder is on fire

Chapter 82 The Woman With Six Toes
Qin Xiaoming's wife, Zhao Xueqin, also came to the north room from the east wing when she heard the voice. She was a few years older than Lin Shen, and the relationship between the two was already very good.

Lin Shen handed over a large bag of dendrobium to the nanny, explained how to preserve it, and then began to pickle pickles for the old lady.

When she heard that Lin Shen wanted to make pickles for her, the old lady cheered up.

Mrs. Qin loves the kimchi made by Lin Shen the most. It is refreshing and delicious.Immediately asked the nanny to move a chair to the kitchen in the backyard, and sat by the side to chat with Lin Shen.

All the ingredients needed for pickling kimchi are available in the kitchen.

Lin Shen washed his hands, cut the radishes, cabbage, long beans, onions, and peppers that the nanny had washed into medium-length strips, and sprinkled them with salt to marinate them so that they could taste faster.

Then add seasonings such as bay leaves, star anise, fennel, Chinese prickly ash, cinnamon bark, dried chili, ginger slices, etc. to boiled water with salt and rock sugar. Mix, add a little Moutai, and finally put the ingredients into the altar and seal it.

After finishing these tasks, it was almost dusk.

In the evening, Lin Shen stayed with the old lady for dinner, and said goodbye to the old lady at 8 o'clock and went home.

The old lady knew that Lin Shen would not stay in Beijing for a long time, and told her that she must come over to make dumplings tomorrow night, Lin Shen smiled and nodded in agreement.

Back at his home, Lin Shen tidied up the bed in the bedroom, took a bath, did skin care, and then went to the study.

She vaguely remembered that her grandfather drew the structural layout of King Xue Kang's tomb before he was alive. There were many of them, and they were placed somewhere in the study.

It's been a long time, and there are many books in the study, so it may take some time and effort to find them now.

Lin Shen looked through all the bookshelves, but found nothing. Lin Shen went to the study compartment to search, and finally found the materials he wanted in two camphor wood boxes.

The drawings are in an old-fashioned cardboard folder with some historical tomes.

In addition, Lin Shen also had an unexpected harvest, an iron box full of photos, which contained more than a hundred photos of the excavation site of King Xue Kang's tomb, recording the archaeological work at that time.

Lin Shen returned to the study with these precious materials, made a pot of tea, spread the drawings on the table, and studied them carefully.

The hand-drawn drawings in the 80s of the last century have been preserved to this day, and the paper has long since turned yellow.

After seeing the drawings and photos of King Xue Kang's tomb, Lin Shen closed his eyes, and a magnificent picture of the treasures in the underground palace slowly unfolded in front of his eyes. .

If it is made into a tomb robbery movie, it must be wonderful.

Lin Shenzai looked through each photo carefully, and one of the photos caught her attention, which surprised her.

In the photo, a young grandfather and a young woman with an oval face and two braids are making pottery together. Their hands are covered with clay, and their faces are full of sweet smiles.

The woman in the photo, Lin, was very impressed. A few days ago, she found a 1-inch black and white photo in the cover of the diary left by her grandfather. It was the same person as the photo in front of her.

Lin Shen clearly remembered that the woman was named Zhou Jie.

The lower right corner of the photo in front of me shows the date it was taken, September 1982, 9.

Lin Shen remembered that his grandfather recorded in his diary that that period happened to be after the first archaeological excavation of King Xue Kang's tomb failed. At that time, his grandfather injured his leg and had to recuperate for three months.

Lin Shen stared at the photo for a long time. In the photo, the grandfather had a plaster cast on his right leg and crutches beside him.

The timeline of the photo matches the situation at that time, recording that the woman and grandpa once had an intersection.

In addition, Lin Shen also carefully noticed that the woman named Zhou Jie in the photo was wearing old-fashioned flat open-toed sandals, and her left foot seemed different from normal people.

Lin Shen found a magnifying glass, observed carefully, and finally found to his surprise that the woman's left foot had an extra little toe than normal.

Her left foot actually has 6 toes!
If it weren't for Lin Shen's carefulness, it would be difficult to discover this special feature.

In the photo, grandpa's face is full of smiles, which shows that grandpa was in a good mood at that time.

Objectively speaking, the woman in the photo is dignified and beautiful, with a gentle smile, natural and graceful, and has the unique temperament of an oriental woman.

Grandpa lived alone all his life, could this beautiful woman be his lover?

It's a pity that Grandpa's diary has no records other than work, and the identity of the woman in the photo remains a mystery.

Why is this group photo stored together with the archaeological photos of King Xue Kang's tomb?What does it mean?
Lin Shen had a strong feeling that the relationship between this woman and grandpa was extraordinary.

Looking at the background in the photo, it should be the pottery repair workshop of the Palace Museum. Lin Shen has a deep impression of it. When she was very young, her grandfather took her there to make pottery. At that time, she called pottery as playing with mud. .

Have fun.

The next day, Lin Shen woke up very early. Today was grandpa's birthday. She took a bottle of Moutai and left the house.

The side room of the inverted house was converted into a garage, in which a black Mercedes Benz s600 was parked.Lin Shen drove out and bought a bouquet of white carnations at a flower shop on the way. After everything was ready, Lin Shen drove to Babaoshan People's Cemetery.

Standing under the evergreen tree, in front of Academician Lin's tomb, Lin Shen presented flowers and poured Moutai, his grandfather's favorite drink.

"Grandpa, today is your birthday, I'm here to see you."

Standing in front of the grandfather's tomb, the old man on the tombstone still smiled peacefully and kindly. Grandpa's voice and smile, and the little things he had with him, all appeared in Lin Shen's mind like a movie...

Lin Shen's chest was stuffy. The things that happened these days and the backlog of emotions kept rolling in her heart. She really really wanted to hold Grandpa's hand again and hear Grandpa call her own as usual. Xiao Ming, I can see my grandfather smiling at me again, but there is only a cold stone tablet in front of me...

Grandpa, you finally left Yoyo alone in this world, Grandpa, Yoyo misses you so much!

The 18 years of nurturing grace are unforgettable, and Lin Shen's eyes are red, and the unstoppable tears are blowing in the wind.

In the winter of 18 years ago, Academician Lin, who was nearly sixty years old, went to the mountain for archaeology. In the depths of Molong Mountain, he accidentally picked up Xiao Linshen, who was almost frozen in swaddling clothes and could no longer cry.

Perhaps it was God's will that an old man who had been alone for most of his life met an abandoned baby.

In this life, what Lin Shen is most grateful for is the old man on the tombstone. It is his grandfather who gave him a new life, taught him carefully, and raised him up.

Lin Shen bit his lip and frowned, "Grandpa, I know you left with regret. Don't worry, I will fulfill your last wish on your behalf!"

***
When Xu Yandong came to Babao Mountain, he saw the flowers and Maotai in front of Lin Lao's tombstone, and he knew that Lin Shen had already been here.

"Grandpa, it's your birthday. I came to see you and brought your favorite Moutai."

Xu Yandong respectfully put down the bouquet in his hand, and also poured a glass of Moutai for the old man.

"In the end, I violated your end-of-life entrustment and brought Lin Shen into this case. But don't worry, I will guarantee her safety. I believe that her ability will give you, the organization, and GJ a handover." Come up with a satisfactory answer."

***
On the way back from Babaoshan, Lin Shen calmed down and called Dai Hongqiao, director of the Palace Museum.

Dean Dai was a former friend of Academician Lin, and Lin Shen stated that he had a cultural relic vase suspected to be from the tomb of King Xue Kang in his hand, which needed further comparison and verification.

Dai Hongqiao knew the importance and particularity of this vase, so he immediately agreed.

Lin Shen returned home, loaded the fragment of the porcelain vase with the four seas and clouds patterns brought back from Yundu into the car, and drove to the Yanjing Palace Museum.
