Chapter 2 A strange letter

While thinking, he took out the letter paper from the envelope.

The content of this letter is even more bizarre. There are only two lines of poetry on the paper, "Like the children of the Xie family, dressed upright; like the family, the chariots and riders are graceful" and "To keep the strong men guarding Weiyang, Qiyong defends the Western Qiang."

There is no title above and no signature below. A letter without a head or tail makes people feel unthinkable, and it also reveals a strange atmosphere.

Xie Liuyun recalled the poems in the letter and pondered his father's intentions. He still didn't understand the meaning. He didn't know how to deal with it, so he picked up the envelope and looked at it.

The words on the envelope were not written by my father, but the letters in the envelope were written by my father. This is the first strange thing.

The second strange thing is that the envelope looks a bit old and has dark colors, but it can be seen that it is well kept and there is no trace of wear on the edges and corners.

But the entire envelope, from paper to style, is incompatible with the brand new letter paper, and is simply "new wine in old bottles".

Xie Liuyun observed the envelope carefully and found that the envelope was not a standard envelope sold by the post office.

The envelope I found is much smaller than the common envelopes on the market now. After careful examination, it was actually purely handmade.

The paper is a little cut at the seams of the envelope, and you will not find it if you don’t look carefully.

However, this cannot escape the almost nitpicking eyes of Xie Liuyun, a bridge engineer.

He is recognized by the county highway bureau as the "fire eyes" and the construction site of the Engineering Office, any irregular or problematic places, cannot escape his inspection.

The leaders are completely at ease with Xie Liuyun, and the construction team is the most tense.

Xie Liuyun continued to observe the envelope carefully and found that the envelope was folded and pasted in several places, and the workmanship was very detailed, and he did not do it because the envelope was handmade.

The envelope itself is not worth much, so why choose to do it yourself with great effort instead of buying ready-made ones?

Xie Liuyun took the envelope and looked at it repeatedly, thinking about what the people who used such envelopes were thinking back then, and it would be easy to avoid trouble if they were far away.

Of course, there is another possibility, that is, the person who uses the envelope is not necessarily the person who makes the envelope, and there is no necessary connection between the two.

If things really do, the origin of this envelope will be even more bizarre.

Xie Liuyun picked up the envelope and looked at the desk lamp on the desk, hoping to find any useful clues.

His seemingly unintentional actions made him discover a big secret.

This envelope has a lot of mystery under the light.

Under the strong light, Xie Liuyun found that something seemed to be mixed in the paper making the envelope. He pinched it with his hands, which was soft and elastic, and he didn't know what material it was.

This kind of object is arranged in strips in a very regular manner.

Xie Liuyun hurriedly stood up, walked to the center of the room, under the chandelier, held up the envelope, and looked up to continue to check.

According to the shadows in the paper under observation of the light, there is a pattern inlaid in this paper, a very beautiful pattern, or perhaps a pattern of special significance.

Although I can't figure out what the hidden patterns in this paper mean, it can be concluded that the paper used to make the envelope must be specially made.

Xie Liuyun felt that things were not that simple as making such painstaking efforts just for use as an envelope.

What is hidden in this paper is crucial, otherwise it would not have been concealed so carefully.

When made into an envelope, there is only one explanation that can be explained, that is, to cover up the eyes and convey important information or objects without notice.

Xie Liuyun held the special envelope and did not feel the weight of the envelope. This production process made him admire him.

The person who makes this kind of envelope has ingenious thoughts and superb skills.

Xie Liuyun returned to the desk and sat down, lowered her head and continued to look at the content on the envelope. He saw that the recipient of the letter was a man named Yong Ji.

This confirms that the character "Yong" on the wooden box is a surname. Xie Liuyun does not know this person named Yong Ji, but since the person's name appears on the envelope, the person must have an unusual relationship with his father.

Such an analysis gave Xie Liuyun a glimmer of hope. At least this person named Yong Ji may be able to help him find his father at this stage.

If this were not the case, my father would not have asked him to send this inexplicable letter.

Because, from another perspective, this is a signal of seeking help.

Xie Liuyun glanced at the address of the letter, which read "No. 2, Wangping Street, Anqiu County, Shandong Province".

Xie Liuyun knew that the old roots of his family were in Kaifeng, Henan, and they moved here from the north.

Back then, after my great-grandfather Xie Yifeng moved to Tonglu, Hangzhou, so many years have passed. Except for some people who are estranged from blood, they are still in Kaifeng, their family has no close relatives in the north.

Now, a long way from here suddenly emerged, and it was related to his father, which surprised Xie Liuyun, and felt a little uneasy.

Xie Liuyun missed her long-dead mother. She was meticulous and meticulous in her work. Perhaps she might know these things, but it would be great if she was still alive.

Xie Liuyun sighed a little, thinking about his thoughts while looking at the signature on the envelope.

The address of the sender was written in his home. Xie Liuyun looked at the address of the sender several times and was sure that he read it correctly.

Based on this, Xie Liuyun judged that the person who wrote on the envelope was either great grandfather or grandfather.

Because since my father wrote the letter, it would be no trouble to write a new envelope.

But my father did not rewrite the envelope, but chose to use the old envelope that he did not write himself. It can be seen that my father cherishes the old envelope very much, which is enough to prove that the old envelope is extremely important.

Furthermore, judging from the content on the letter, it will never be a simple copy of the poem, which must have implicit profound meanings.

Now that my father is not around, no one can explain it to me. At present, the only person who receives the letter can solve this mystery.

The sender signed on the envelope was Xie Chunyu. His name was very unfamiliar and it was another place that puzzled Xie Liuyun.

On the letter paper contained in the envelope, there is only puzzling content, no title to start, and no signature at the end, which is not normal.

It is understandable that I do not know either the recipient or the sender on the envelope.

From the perspective of collecting wooden boxes so secretly, it is related to confidentiality. I have never heard my father say it before. Those who know it will definitely not be able to produce great-grandfather, grandfather and father.

I don’t know how many years this mysterious envelope has been lying in this wooden box. If I counted as my great-grandfather, I would have been hundreds of years.

Xie Liuyun thought, maybe this was a rainy day arrangement that great-grandfather had taken for some consideration.

Then my family doesn’t have any secrets that I don’t know, right?

Thinking of this, Xie Liuyun suddenly felt that his father was a little unfamiliar with him.

Such a secret thing, if it weren't for the father's disappearance for no reason, I wouldn't have thought of looking for clues in my father's bedroom, and thus discovered this wooden box containing letter paper.

The sender wrote the name of Xie Chunyu, and the only thing that has something to do with him is this surname.

Who is Xie Chunyu?

Who is that Yong Ji?

Did my father know these two people?
