Chapter 3 Part Two: The Most Beautiful Woman in the World

There were five of them in total, but after hearing what I said, four of them laughed together, and two of them said in unison: "Wesley, what good antiquities do you have!" I protested loudly, and said: Based on my knowledge of antiquities, I can become a first-rate antiquities researcher, but of course I am not as good as you, so I came to you to take a look at this! I took out what looked like a silver dollar and handed it to one of them. While driving all the way here, I have already seen something like the silver dollar. It is really a silver dollar, the size and thickness are similar, but I don't know when it was the currency.On one side of it, there are six to seven characters of origin that I can't recognize at all, and on the other side, there is a statue of a god wearing a helmet. Its production is very exquisite.

Looking at it, it looks like a fine product from the mint now. The first person who took the silver dollar weighed it with contempt on his face, glanced at it briefly, and then threw it to the second person, who threw it to the third person, and the third person one to the fourth There was a contemptuous sneer between them all the time, the last one threw it to me and said: It seems that this is like an ornament on the keychain! I knew it was not a key-ring ornament, it must be a genuine antiquity.And after the silver dollar passed through the eyes of the five of them, they still couldn't tell its origin. That didn't prove that it wasn't an ancient relic, but it only proved that it was an ancient relic with an extremely obscure and mysterious origin.

Enduring their ridicule, I pointed to the god statue on the other side, the god statue embossed on the silver dollar was the same as the god statue on the wooden box, and I asked: Look, have you seen this god statue? Those five people finally took a reluctant look, then shook their heads together and said: "I haven't seen it before." I said again: Maybe it has something to do with Mexico, check it out. The five people shook their heads again, indicating that they don't need to look up any classics, everything is in their minds.At this moment, another member came in and said, "What antiques are there in Mexico?"let me see.

I handed the silver dollar to him, and he looked at it over and over for a while, and said: Hey, have you seen these words, it looks very strange! That's not writing at all, and nowhere in the world is writing like that.Two people answered him: It's just an inexplicable pattern. I became angry, reached out and snatched the silver dollar back, and said: You are too self-righteous, I can definitely prove that this is a rare ancient relic, and by then, your masks of antique experts will be torn off! I was really annoyed, so my words were very serious, which made the six of them stunned.At this moment, the seventh member came in, he was a middle-aged man, he said: Who is losing his temper?

I immediately said loudly: "It's me!" He smiled and said: Why?Look at you, your face is flushed, why are you angry? I put the silver dollar heavily in his hand, and said: For this, sir, I brought this, but they all made fun of me, and I think you are the same too! He took the silver dollar and took a look at it, then showed a very excited expression, and said: Wesley, where did you get this thing?Where did you get this thing, tell me. When I heard it, my spirits were lifted, and I said: "Why, did you recognize its origin?"what is it?I don't know what this is, but look, this is the journal of the South and North American Archaeological Society that I just received, you look here!He opened a thick magazine tucked under his side, flipped through it, then opened it, put it on the table, and said: Look!

We looked together and saw that there were several pictures on those two pages. The first picture was a stone, and the second picture was a rubbing of that stone. We could vaguely see that there were some traces like words. And the third picture is a group photo of several people next to a house. It shows that Professor Diego from the University of Mexico discovered the stone tablet, and there are words on the stone tablet that have never been recorded in any classics. Professor Digo has done preliminary research on that writing, and believes that it is the crystallization of a high-level culture, but going back to the history of Mexico, there has never been any nation that had such a brilliant culture in a period.The writing that Professor Digo suspects may have something to do with the Inca Empire that suddenly disappeared in South America, because the stele was found near the border of Guatemala.

It was a small town called Guxing. Near a blue bridge, a pastor of the local church who found the stele provided the stone to Professor Digo for research. The pastor was called Pastor Zun Ai.I nearly jumped when I saw the name Pastor Zunye! But the seven of them didn't notice the difference in my expression. They were all concentrating on comparing the text on one side of the silver dollar with the text on the rubbing picture in the magazine.They are all experts. Of course, they can immediately find out that although the two languages ​​are different, they belong to the same category. The person who brought the magazine raised his head and said, "Wesley, you are amazing. You see, Professor Di Ge's conclusion of judging this kind of writing from the organization of the writing is good. This thing of yours must be a product of that cultural heyday. You see how beautiful it is, and it could be currency!

Another said: Well, this must be the earliest currency in the world! Another said: Of course not. If this is currency, it is so exquisite. Could it be that there is no process of development, and such exquisite currency appears all of a sudden?Before it, there must be a rudimentary currency! The other two shouted excitedly, saying: The history of mankind is going to be rewritten! They looked at me together, just now I was still an object of ridicule, but all of a sudden, I became a hero!I didn't wait for them to ask questions, and said: "I found more than these things. There are as many as five or six silver dollars of the same type, a very heavy statue of a god, a wooden box with very beautiful reliefs, and a stack of extremely colorful ones." A beautiful tapestry, should be added a priceless ruby ​​ring, and a letter to the pastor Zun Ai, and a key with wings.The seven of them all looked at me like idiots, completely unaware of what I was talking about, I took out the letter and said, "Everything starts from it!"

They said in unison: What is going on?Have you found a treasure trove?I smiled and said: It can be said to be a real treasure house, unparalleled! They asked again in a hurry. Their questions were completely haphazard, and it was impossible to record them one by one. After my loud shout, they finally calmed down immediately, and I waved my hands and said, "Don't ask, I'll just tell you the whole story. In order to see an old version of the two-dollar reverse printing ticket at the palace gate, I crashed a car when I went out, and went to Mrs. Mirren according to the address. I found many strange things and told them all about it.

I can't say that my own narrative was very vivid, but it was true that they were all dumbfounded, and after I finished, they were still speechless for a while.I said: That's the way it is. I think that Mrs. Mirren is certainly not an ordinary person. She must be someone with a lot of history. What do you think? They argued again and again, and finally they came to a conclusion. This conclusion was proposed to me by Professor Bei, the leader of them. What's in Mrs. Lun's box is really an antique. Professor Bei's expression was very serious, and he said: Wesley, is that letter you mentioned, is it by your side now?

Of course.I took out the letter. Professor Bei said: I think, for scientific purposes, if we take this letter apart and have a look, it shouldn't be a problem. I think you must agree, don't you? When I heard that, I couldn't help frowning.Everyone has something that he particularly hates, and among the few things that I hate the most, unfortunately, there is exactly one that happens to be opening other people's letters without authorization. When Professor Bei asked me, he had already picked up the letter and was about to open it, but I immediately reached out and snatched it over, saying, "I'm sorry, Professor Bei, I don't agree to do that. If I don't know this If I had the address of the Reverend Zunye, then I might agree, but now that I know his address, I will of course send him the letter. Professor Bei rubbed his hands and said, "Send the letter to him?"This is not very good, you see, this letter has already had an accident, and it must be very important. If there is another accident, maybe an unknown page in human history will be lost forever. The most appropriate The way is I didn't wait for him to finish, and said: "Professor Bei, I think opening letters privately is the most despicable crime. I think that no matter what big topic is used as a cover, it is an unforgivable crime, so there is no need to mention it again!" Professor Bei turned around resignedly, spread his hands to the other six people, and said: Everyone saw that, unfortunately, what we met was a stubborn donkey, shall we stop discussing this matter now?of course not!They cried out together. Professor Bei said again: Okay, let's proceed to the second step. He turned around again and said, "Mr. Wei, we want to ask you to do something."We entrust you to ask the woman to buy all Mrs. Mirren's belongings at any cost. They are going to entrust me to buy Mrs. Mirren's things, which is a matter of consideration.Because I have this plan myself.Mrs. Mirren's box, the statue, the tapestry, and the few silver dollars, if their origins are determined, each of them may be priceless treasures! I thought about it for a while and said, "How much are you going to pay for it?" As much as you want, Professor Bei waved his hand. You know the financial resources of the seven of us. We don’t care if you want to bankrupt us. I shrugged. Of course, I know the financial resources of the seven of them. Among them, four or five are well-known rich men in Asia. If they go bankrupt, then the money can buy about half of Mexico. If the Mexican government is willing to betray it. I nodded and said: "Okay, I accept your entrustment. I will leave this silver dollar here. It was taken by me. You can study it first. As soon as I have news, I will contact you immediately. Goodbye!" They all waved to me and I walked out of the club. At the gate of the club, I stood blankly for a while, who should I contact to buy Mrs. Mirren's relics?Ask Gina's mother, that terrible woman?Or should I go to see if Mrs. Mirren has any relatives? But no matter what, it was very necessary to visit Gina's mother again. Originally, this matter had nothing to do with me. I only aroused my curiosity after seeing the ruby ​​ring.And it happened that I saw that strange writing in that archaeological magazine, which was so similar to the writing on that silver dollar. What kind of person is Mrs. Mirren?The more incomprehensible the mystery, the easier it is to arouse people's interest, so a matter that has nothing to do with me, driven by my curiosity, I became the main character in the matter instead! Before I went to Gina's house, I bought a lot of gifts, including a big walking and talking doll for Gina, two boxes of very exquisite and luxurious candies, and two bottles of quite high-end Wine. When I stood at Gina's door again and rang the doorbell, I opened the door a crack, and it was still Gina looking out. She recognized me at a glance, and said: Hey, it's you again, what's the matter? I smiled and said: Gina, aren't we friends?When a friend comes to visit, there may not be any business, look, what gift I brought you, take a look! I waved the doll to her, it must be something that Gina had been dreaming of for a long time, she immediately screamed, opened the door, and let me in, her loud cry immediately shook her mother drawn out. I hurriedly put the two boxes of exquisite candies on the table, and said: Ma'am, I'm sorry to disturb you just now, this is for you, please accept, these two bottles of wine are for your husband, Hope he likes it. The woman kept wiping her hands with her skirt, and said: Thank you, ah, how beautiful, we haven't seen such a beautiful thing for a long time, please sit down, please sit down, you are too polite! I smiled, sat down, and said, "If I don't bother you, I still have a few questions that I would like to ask you." The woman immediately showed a look of panic. As soon as I saw this situation, I immediately changed my mind and said: Excuse me, I like Gina very much, can I be a friend with her? you are my friend!Gina cried. The tense look on the woman's face also relaxed, she said: Of course, of course. I smiled and said, "I'm a bachelor. I think that Mrs. Mirren lived in that room. You rented it to her, didn't you?"Now that it is vacant, why can't you rent it to me? This woman frowned, I dare not decide, I want to ask my husband, sir, in fact, Mrs. Mirren has always paid us rent, but after her death, our situation is already very tight, if You come to rent our room, then we should She had just reached this point, when suddenly, there was a loud bang from the gate, and Gina hurriedly said: "Daddy is back!" She held the doll in one hand and opened the door with the other, and I stood up too.I saw an extremely tall man standing at the door. The figure of that man was a full head taller than mine, at least 190 centimeters tall. His hair is disheveled, but he is a very heroic man. Gina is exactly like him. At this time, he also looked at me with eyes full of hostility, and then walked in staggeringly, shouting: Are you who? This is really a very simple question, but it is difficult for me to answer this question in the current situation. Because if I tell him, my surname is Wei, and my name is Wesley. I am a person who likes to live an adventurous life. I have had many strange experiences, and I am very interested in all strange and weird lives.That might be a good self-introduction. But if I said that, it would be meaningless at all, because he was asking me who I was, just wanting to understand why I appeared in his house, so I thought about it and said : I'm Gina's friend, here are some gifts. As I said this, I pointed to the two bottles of wine on the table. I thought, if he was an alcoholic, his attitude towards me would definitely change after seeing those two bottles of wine. friendly. However, I was wrong! He just glanced coldly at the two bottles of wine, and immediately roared again, shouting: Get out, get out, get out! As he said that, he rushed towards me, and when I was completely unprepared, he reached out and grabbed my skirt, looking like he wanted to grab me by the skirt, and then lift me up Get up and throw it out the door.He may be used to dealing with others in this way, but he can't use this method to deal with me!I pushed my hands out of his arms, and at the same time grabbed his wrist with a backhand. He struggled hard, his face flushed red.But considering my attainments in Chinese martial arts, it is simply impossible for him to break free! After three minutes of struggling, he also knew that there was no hope. Then, he scolded me with a series of vulgar words, while I remained calm and said, "Sir, I came here without any malice. Add a small fortune, if you insist on not welcoming me, then I will leave immediately! As soon as I finished speaking, I immediately let go of my hand. He took a few steps back, sat down on a chair, stared at me, panted, and didn't speak for a while. I didn't say anything, just looked at him.He gasped for about half a minute before saying: Who are you and what do you want?You don't have to hide it from me, Gina's friend, bah! Gina muttered softly, and said: Dad, he is my friend! But the man glared at Gina, and Gina hugged the doll I gave her tightly, and kept silent. Obviously, she was very afraid of her father, and at this moment, I couldn't help feeling ashamed. feeling. Because, when I said that I was Gina's friend, I was not very sincere. I gave the doll to Gina only to achieve my own purpose. I can say that I was using Gina . I asked myself that I was by no means a scheming villain, but I was an adult after all. As an adult, because I have been in society for too long, there are always more hypocrisy than sincerity in the relationship between people, but Gina It's different, seeing that she is willing to risk her father's scolding and declare that I am indeed her friend, it seems that she really regards me as her friend. I immediately walked over to Gina, stroked her long hair gently, and expressed my gratitude for her support.I said: Yes, I am here to visit you for a purpose. I am entrusted by someone to buy Mrs. Mirren Before I could finish my words, that guy suddenly jumped up as if he had been electrocuted! I couldn't help but stunned for a moment. What made him jump up suddenly was obviously my mention of Mrs. Mirren.But why did he jump at the mention of Mrs. Mirren? I was stunned for a while, and didn't continue talking, but the man roared, saying: Mrs. Mirren?How much do you know about her?How do you know her?How do you know she lives here? While questioning me, he looked at his wife and daughter viciously, thinking that they had told me.At that moment, I was also baffled by his tense expression and didn't know what to do. The guy was still roaring, and said: Tell me, how do you know her? I had no choice but to spread my hands and said: It seems that you are not ready to discuss everything about Mrs. Mirren?If you really don't want to, you're giving up a considerable amount of money. Don't use money to touch my heart, the man roared, suddenly, he gave up his broken English and shouted in Mexican, and what he called was not pure Mexican, it was probably a kind of native language from a remote place in Mexico. I can be regarded as a person who has in-depth research on the languages ​​of various places, but I can't understand what he is yelling. But there are some things that can be expressed without words. He is driving me away, which is really obvious.And I thought to myself, since the situation is so bad, I have no choice but to trust me! I walked out of the room almost in a state of embarrassment, until I reached the second floor, I still heard the guy cursing, I sighed, and walked down the stairs, when I came to the door of the building , suddenly saw Gina standing across the street, waving to me! I was stunned for a while, but I immediately understood that Gina must have gone downstairs from the back stairs first, and was waiting for me across the street. When I crossed the street, she didn't say anything, just pulled me away, and I followed She came to a small park. Then, she sat down on a bench first, and looked at me a little sadly. I sat down beside her and said, "Jina, what's the matter?" Gina rubbed the corner of her clothes and said: "My father treats you like this, I'm sorry, but my father is really a good person, he is usually very kind, but he just doesn't let anyone mention Mrs. Mirren in front of him." . Why?The curiosity in my heart deepened again.Originally, I already had a lot of questions in my heart, but my second visit, not only failed to eliminate the original questions in my mind, but added a few more questions. Why?I repeat. I think, Gina is pretending to be an adult, Mexican girls are precocious, and Gina's appearance at this time has a kind of melancholy girlish beauty. She said: I think it is probably because Dad loves Mrs. Mirren. I was stunned for a moment. If Gina hadn't said it so seriously, it would be too ridiculous. Her father fell in love with Mrs. Mirren?Her imagination is too rich. Although I didn't do anything unusual, Gina also noticed it. She tilted her head and said, "Sir, don't you believe me?"But it's true. I smiled and said, "Jina, stop thinking about it, you don't know about adults. I know, Gina said stubbornly: I know, Mrs. Mirren is so lovely, my father fell in love with her, must be, when Mrs. Mirren died, he was so sad When Gina spoke up to this point, she paused for a while, as if she was thinking about what adjectives to use to describe her father's sadness at that time, so it was better, and my surprise reached its peak at this time! I never know what kind of person Mrs. Millen is. I only know that she sent a letter to a pastor named Zunye, and she died half a year ago. During her lifetime, she had no friends, no relatives, just Living alone in a small room with nothing but a bed in it. Such a Mrs. Mirren, naturally, gives people a feeling of loneliness and aging.It also naturally makes people think that she is a weird old woman, and she died half a year ago. Isn't death and aging often linked together?But at this point I felt something was wrong. Because Gina said Mrs. Mirren was very beautiful! I took a breath and said: Gina, is Mrs. Mirren beautiful? Yes, Gina is nodding her head solemnly, she is beautiful, well, if only I were as beautiful as her, she has hair that shines like gold and grows to her waist, and her eyes are as beautiful as Jewel, she's indescribably beautiful, my papa once told me, when he was drunk, that Mrs. Mirren was the most beautiful woman in the world. I was dumbfounded, and while I was listening, I was thinking, that's impossible, Gina must be a girl with a sick psychological development, all of that is just her fantasy, it can't be real, I shook my head and said: Gina, you describe it too beautifully! She is indeed so beautiful!Gina protested: it's just that she's too pale, and she often sits for hours at a time, making people frightened. I hesitated and asked: Is she still very young?how old is she A very confused look suddenly appeared on Gina's face, and she said: "I asked her like that once, guess how she answered me, sir?" I shook my head. Even Einstein couldn't figure out the age of the woman. I said, "I don't know. How old does she say she is?" Gina said: She sighed at the time, she only likes to talk to me alone, she said, guess how old I am, if I tell you, you will definitely not believe it, you will never believe it, never believe it ! I hurriedly asked: So, did she say it? No, Gina replied. After she said those few words, she fell into deep thought again. When I asked her, she fell silent. So how old does she appear to be? it seems?She didn't seem to be thirty, twenty-six, twenty-seven, I think about that age.Gina tilted her head, and finally added: She is indeed the most beautiful woman in the world. I stayed for a while, speechless.Although I still doubted Gina's words, I also began to doubt whether my idea that Mrs. Mirren was an old woman was correct.I always thought Mrs. Mirren was an old woman, but it would be a very ridiculous thing if she were a beautiful woman, it would be a surprise. I thought for a moment, then asked again: Do you have a picture of her?Gina. No, Gina shook her head: Mrs. Mirren never went out on the street, Mom said, it's a good thing she doesn't like taking pictures, otherwise, every man who sees her pictures will fall in love with her! I frowned. This seemed to be beyond the imagination of a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl. It seems that what Gina said was fact, not fiction! I did not ask further whether Mrs. Mirren was young or beautiful.Because in this city, there are very few Mexican immigrants. I have several friends who work in the immigration management office. I only need to look for them, and I can see whether Mrs. Mirren is a man who is fascinated by her. An upside-down beauty. I changed the subject and said: So, what about Mr. Mirren?Have you ever met Mr. Mirren? No, Mrs. Millen said, Mr. Millen died in the flight. I sighed, if Mrs. Mirren is really so beautiful, then her husband must also be a very outstanding man, and their marriage must be extremely happy and sweet, and suddenly, the blow came, Mirren Mr. died in the flight, and Mrs. Millen became sad and lonely, and became a very strange person. I asked again: Does Mrs. Mirren have any relatives, then? No, since I was sensible, I have only seen her sitting in the room alone, she has no acquaintances at all, it seems like she is the only one in the world.Gina frowned and answered. My heart was still full of doubts, and I said: Then, how did you know her, and how did she live with you? Gina shook her head and said: I don't know, I also asked my parents, but they refused to say anything. I stayed for a while and said, "What's your father's name, can you tell me?" Of course, he is Mr. Guido.Gina immediately answered me.I said again: Gina, go back and tell your father that if he is willing to sell Mrs. Mirren's belongings, he can get a considerable amount of money. If he agrees, please call him.I took out a business card and gave it to Gina. Gina took the business card and immediately said: I'm leaving, thank you. She ran away and I waved at her until I lost sight of her.And I was still sitting in the chair, and Mrs. Mirren, that mysterious figure, was a young woman of the utmost beauty!This seems to make her already mysterious identity even more mysterious! I didn't sit on the chair for a long time before I stood up. I had to figure out the real identity of Mrs. Mirren first, and then I could further understand how she could have such a good ruby, and those few rubies who didn't know which one they were. The silver dollar of the age, and that queer idol! I left the small park and drove to the immigration management office. In the reception room, I claimed to see Section Chief Ding, who was in charge of the registration of immigrants. Within five minutes, I walked into his office and took a seat. down. He smiled and asked me, and said: Well, after getting married, people disappeared, how long have you and I not seen each other?It must have been years, huh? I thought about it, and said: It has been two or three years. The last time I met you was at the entrance of a theater! Section Chief Ding rubbed his hands and said, "I know you will go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, okay, tell me, how can I help you?"Just say it! He is a very straightforward person, so I don't need to be too polite, he said: I want to check the identity of a Mexican, her name is Mrs. Mirren, can I find it? Section Chief Ding laughed and said: Of course, you can look at the statistics on the wall. There are only 87 Mexicans living here. Isn’t it extremely difficult to find one of the 87 people? ? I hurriedly said: That's great, how can I proceed? You don't need to do anything, I just ask the staff to find her information!He pressed the button of the intercom, and said: "Among the Mexican expatriates, look for information about Mrs. Mirren, and bring it to my office." After he gave the order, we chatted for a few more minutes, and then someone knocked on the door, and a female staff member stood at the door and said: Section Chief, among the Mexican expatriates, there is no one named Mrs. Mirren. I was stunned for a while, and said: No way, she is about thirty years old, and she is a very beautiful woman. The female clerk still shook her head and said: There is Mrs. Micheo, but there is no Mrs. Mirren. Director Ding said: If there is no record here, then there are two possibilities, one is that she never entered this city at all, and the other is that she sneaked in without going through formal procedures.where is sheWe're going to find her. I smiled wryly, and said: She died, half a year ago. Section Chief Ding said strangely: No way, we also have records of the death of foreign nationals, which doctor signed the death certificate?Ms. Wang, go and check again. I quickly said: If you really can't find it, then please find Mr. Guido, he is also Mexican. The female staff backed away, Section Chief Ding said with a smile: Wesley, people related to you are always weird. I shook my head and said: Mrs. Mirren has nothing to do with me, I don't know her at all I've just gotten here when the female clerk is back.She held a folder and said: Chief, this is Guido's information, there is no record of Mrs. Mirren's death. Section Chief Ding took the folder, and after the female employee left, he handed the folder to me. I quickly opened it. There were not many documents in it. It was a form with a sticker on the lower left corner. photo. That was Gina's father. Although he was much younger in the photo, I could still recognize him at a glance.Because on his face, there is a very wild expression, that expression is concentrated on his eyes and two thick eyebrows, which is very impressive.For the management of the diaspora, what is done is just an ordinary registration work. Of course, everything recorded on the form is also a very simple matter, which is quite different from the files of the police or special departments. So, on that form, I can only know that this person is called Guido Martino. His occupation is very unpopular, and to my surprise, he is a volcano observer.And his purpose of coming here is to travel. He came with his wife and daughter. That was ten years ago.Another form, about half a year after the previous one, was a form for him to apply for long-term residence, with photos of his wife and daughter attached. His daughter was undoubtedly Gina. From the photo, she was only two or three years old, with dark eyes, she looked very cute.The one holding Gina was that woman with a terrifying face. After reading these two forms, I couldn't help smiling bitterly, because I didn't gain any further understanding of Mr. Guido Martineau! I handed the folder to Section Chief Ding and said: Don't you find it strange?He is a volcano observer, and here, there are absolutely no volcanoes within a few hundred miles, why should he stay here? Director Ding said: If you are asking someone else, then I may have difficulty answering, but I know this person, because at that time, I was the one who investigated and reviewed his long-term residence application. I still remember that at that time I frightened the boss of his wife and almost ran away! I asked again: Where does he live? That's the address, never moved.
