My interest is the things that are still left on the battlefield, especially the relatively complete arrows. This kind of thing can be seen almost everywhere when I was young, and every household can find many of them. Qian Chuanzi and I have them at home. They are toys from our childhood. Although we all know that this is something left in ancient times and should be cultural relics, no one cares about such cultural relics everywhere.

But Qian Chuanzi discovered its value. He found out from somewhere that the fat boss of the small supermarket at the school was collecting such things. The relatively complete arrows could be sold for ten yuan each. So the inventory of our two families quickly turned into cash. After several bargainings, Qian Chuanzi successfully increased the acquisition price to twenty yuan each. This innate potential for merchants really made me admire this.

However, despite the increase in prices, the supply of goods became a problem, so we focused our attention on the mountain outside the town. It is said that in ancient times it was the most fierce place of war. I heard that because there were too many people who died, unclean things were released later. However, no one could tell what it was, and no one knew when it appeared. Anyway, parents prohibited their children from going there.

When I was in the third grade of elementary school, Qian Chuanzi and I were driven by curiosity and did not see any unclean things. The biggest feeling was that the temperature there seemed to be lower than in the town. Then, you could see fine bone slags and some metal fragments under the stones that you could open casually, and it felt nothing scary.

After our curiosity was satisfied, we never went there again. Now, in order to make money, we have once again stepped on this mountainous area and carefully opened all the rocks that could be turned.

There is always reward for efforts. This sentence is true. On the first day, we found five relatively complete arrows, and there were more than a dozen incomplete ones, plus a few larger pieces of metal. Looking at the things in our hands, I felt like I was picking up garbage.

However, what happened next surprised me very much. Qian Chuanzi fully utilized the talent of a businessman. After a fierce bargaining with the fat boss of a small supermarket, the things we had turned into 150 yuan bills.

This result made me very excited. This was definitely the first pot of gold in my life. From then on, Qian Chuanzi and I became frequent visitors in that mountainous area. Especially after entering the second year of junior high school, the teacher has completely adopted a laissez-faire attitude towards students like us who have not scored 100 points in several subjects. The only requirement for us is not to affect the learning of other students. On this point, we strictly follow the teacher's wishes. This should be the only thing we have done since we went to school to make the teacher happy. The result is that we are basically not visible in school.

This may be the benefit of left-behind children. Parents come back once a year and they all grow up with their grandparents. The grandparents are old and can do it to take care of us for food and clothing. They also understand that their grandchildren are not materials for glorious family members, so their requirements for us are just not to cause trouble or cause trouble.

In such an environment, my life with Qian Chuanzi has completely become a three-point line, home, Internet cafe, and mountain treasure hunting. As for what we will do in the future, it is not within our consideration. If nothing unexpected happens, it should be like my parents to work, then get married, have children, and live a simple life. Although this is not the life I want, it is acceptable. After all, everyone around me lives like this.

But the peaceful life came to an end today. In the dark, a big hand seemed to pull away my life track and then connected it to another road. Without any mental preparation, I pushed me onto a path full of weirdness and death, and all this happened from this morning.

Today is the graduation ceremony of Qian Chuanzi Junior High School and I. We originally wanted to attend the ceremony. Although we hardly stayed in school for three years in junior high school, this ceremony is also a very important thing for us, indicating that our student days are over and our lives will enter a new stage next.

Maybe because I have been with me for too long, Qian Chuanzi's mentality is much more mature than his peers. Although we all like to play games, we are far from obsessed with it because we all know that this is not the whole of life. One day we will take on the responsibilities on our shoulders. We have already owe too much to our grandparents and parents. Although we cannot shine our ancestors, we can at least let them worry less in the future.

However, the next news changed our minds. I heard that the principal would personally issue a graduation certificate to each graduate at the graduation ceremony. Of course, this does not include me and Qian Chuanzi, because if we want to obtain a graduation certificate, we have to take another make-up exam.

This news made us lose interest in the ceremony and finally decided to hold our own ceremony with games and beer. In order to solve the financial problems of the ceremony, we came to this mountain area again.

However, Qian Chuanzi and I were in a low mood today. We did not just turn the stones and search for treasures as usual. Instead, we climbed to the highest point of this mountain area bored. We rarely came here before, because according to experience, almost everything we were looking for was on the hillside, and there was nothing on the top of the mountain.

The reason I came here in the past was entirely because of curiosity. The terrain here was a bit strange. It was about half a football field. There was also a big stone two-story high and five or six meters long in the middle. Despite countless years of wind and sun exposure, both the ground and the boulders had been severely weathered. The surface was bumpy and the winding gullies left by the rain. It was no longer obvious what it was. However, from some details, it can still be seen that the ground on the top of the mountain should have been very flat before, and the big stone should have been a rectangular body with four smooth walls at first.

In other words, the initial appearance of the top of the mountain should be a small square, and there is a huge stone box-like thing placed in the middle. It is hard to believe that such a landform is naturally formed, but there are no traces left by artificial buildings on the entire mountain. The ground and the huge stones look ordinary stones. After so many years of weathering, it has been completely integrated with this mountain, and there is no sign of polishing at all.

The reason why I think the surface of the mountain top and the boulders should have been flat at the beginning was because the highest points on them were almost on the same horizontal plane. Although they have become extremely mottled now, if you look closely, you can only see downward potholes, but there are absolutely no upward bulges.

After making these discoveries, Qian Chuanzi and I spent nearly half a day searching the place carefully, but we didn't find anything unusual. In fact, we didn't know what we were looking for. Anyway, we were free and had a lot of energy. However, since we didn't find anything, we immediately lost interest in it.

I came here today by accident. I felt a little depressed. I wanted to find a place to relax. I walked here unknowingly. "Boss, let's go up and take a look." Qian Chuanzi pointed to the big stone on the top of the mountain. It was the highest point of this mountain area. Standing on it, you can see the small town where we live. If the weather is good, you can also see the expressway in the distance.

"Well," I responded indifferently, and then walked towards one end of the boulder. The terrain here is more suitable for climbing. When I came here, I always went up from this position. With my agility, I climbed up in a few strokes, but behind me, Qian Chuanzi's shout "Boss, are you bleeding?"

I turned around and saw Qian Chuanzi, who had crawled halfway, staring at a stone and looking carefully. The sharp edge of the stone could clearly see a bright red color.

I subconsciously spread my palms and found that at some point a hole was cut in the palm of my right hand. Although it was not very deep, it was bleeding a lot, and my whole palm was almost turning red.

"There is a hole in his hand, don't make a fuss, come up quickly." I shouted casually, "Oh." Qian Chuanzi agreed to continue climbing up again, but the speed was very slow, because he not only had the potential of a businessman, but also had the size of a businessman. Although he was only 1.7 meters tall, his weight had reached 160 kilograms, and I was half a head taller than him, but his weight was only 110 kilograms.

Qian Chuanzi finally climbed up, pinching his waist with both hands and panting heavily, "Do you carry toilet paper?" I asked casually, "No, is this OK?" Qian Chuanzi handed over a wrinkled five dollars, "Forget it." I shook my head gently. Although the money stained with blood can be spent, using money to bandage the wound still makes me feel a bit extravagant. Moreover, the blood on the wound is slowly drying. According to past experience, it should be scabbed soon, and even if it is not bandaged, there will be no problem.

However, after the initial ignorance, the wound began to feel a little painful. Although such a small injury was nothing to me, the pain was still a little uncomfortable. In order to divert attention, I began to look into the distance, and Qian Chuanzi sat directly to the ground.

The weather is very good today. Standing here, you can see the highway in the distance, and cars are flying past like small beetles. However, this scene is not very attractive to me. After a few glances, I lost interest and walked to Qian Chuanzi and sat down.
