Chapter 20: Dried Corpses

For Wang Xinran, college life may really be a kind of torment, this guy has no interest in archaeology at all, he basically plays games in class every day, or he is sleepy in napping, and he will always be the first to rush out after class, run to the end of the corridor and lean against the window to smoke.

Not only Wang Xinran, although other students chose to major in archaeology, they are actually not very interested in archaeology itself, and some of them are to satisfy their curiosity about unknown things.

There is also a Wang Jize in the same dormitory, he and some of his classmates are another idea, they choose this major for future employment, archaeology has a cultural relics identification course, they are coming for this, with the development of the market economy, more and more people like to collect, antiques are more and more valuable, can identify cultural relics, whether it is to do their own collection, or to help rich people identify antiques, is a good way to make money.

Wu Zhongyuan's mentality is different from theirs, the courses he is most interested in are Neolithic archaeology and Xia, Shang and Zhou archaeology, the reason why he likes these two courses is because according to the identification of swaddling cloth, the era in which he originally lived should be the period of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, which was located after the Neolithic and before the Xia, Shang and Zhou, which was a special period with only myths and legends and no historical records.

There are not many archaeological discoveries in this period, at least not many recorded in books, and the unearthed bronzes that are known at present can be traced back to the late Neolithic period at the earliest, and the number is very small, mostly living vessels, and the body of the vessel only has a simple pattern, and there is no hieroglyphic casting.

The period of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors did not belong to the feudal society, the coexistence of multiple tribes was the main body of the social structure at that time, and the slavery system may have partially existed at that time.

Based on these pitiful archaeological discoveries, it is difficult to accurately infer the customs and living conditions of that time, because the age is too old, and there are few surviving unearthed cultural relics, which also led to the archaeology of that period in a very embarrassing situation, and there is not even an independent discipline classification.

Although there is a lack of conclusive historical records, there are many myths handed down in ancient times, and Wu Zhongyuan found some clues from these myths, among which he was most excited by the totems of several large tribes at that time.

The Yellow Emperor clan takes the bear as the totem, the Yandi clan takes the ox as the totem, and the totem of the Chiyou clan has two theories, one is that it is the same as the Yandi clan, it is also a cow, and even some scholars suspect that Chiyou does not exist, and the so-called Chiyou and Yandi are actually a person.

However, there is another theory, according to some known archaeological discoveries, found a strange bird at that time had a high status, some stone tablets and some pottery often appeared, and most of this archaeological discovery was unearthed in the current Shandong, the northeast region of Henan, and the southern part of Hebei, which is also the area where the Chiyou people lived, so some scholars believe that this strange bird is the real totem of the Chiyou family.

For these two statements, Wu Zhongyuan is more inclined to the latter, the reason is naturally his own special chromosome, if this is the case, then his identity has a rough eyebrow, Dean Wang once said that the chromosome of the mammal he had extra was inherited from his father, and the chromosome of the bird was inherited from his mother, and Zhao Ying also told him when he left, the chromosome of the mammal is somewhat similar to the bear, according to which it is inferred that his father should be from the Yellow Emperor family, and his mother is from the Chiyou family.

You must know that the Yellow Emperor and the Chiyou family are hostile to each other, and the union of his parents should not be allowed and recognized by the two clans at that time.

Also, the strange skeleton with a bird's beak buried under the tree next to the old house also corroborates the assumption that the mother comes from the Chiyou clan who use birds as totems, and as for the identity of this person, it is very likely that he is his mother's clan.

Why this person appeared in modern times with him, Wu Zhongyuan couldn't think of why, but one thing is certain, that is, the reason why the two of them appeared in modern times must be because of some kind of accident, and no one did it on purpose, and the reason is very simple, no one can control time and space.

College life can be exciting, and for most students, eat, drink, and fall in love.

College life can also be very peaceful, for Wu Zhongyuan, every day according to the step-by-step, classrooms, dormitories, restaurants, three points and one line.

College life can be very boring, for Wang Xinran is like this, he follows Wu Zhongyuan every day, except for sleeping, he is almost inseparable at other times, he is depressed in class, wakes up like a dream after class, and is full of energy when he enters the restaurant.

Wang Xinran and Zhao Ying are completely two types of people, although they are inseparable, Wang Xinran never has any close behavior with him, he doesn't even bother to pretend, and even his speech is hard, not the tone of a girl in love at all.

Soon, the classmates also found out that something was wrong, although they didn't know what the relationship between the two was, they knew that the two were by no means boyfriend and girlfriend, because girls who are in love will never play with their mobile phones with cigarettes in front of their boyfriends, and boys who are in love will not be like Wu Zhongyuan with a frown, with a bitter and bitter face.

Being followed by Wang Xinran was enough to annoy Wu Zhongyuan, but what annoyed him even more was that Wang Xinran was very addicted to smoking, one pack a day was not enough, and guarding her was like guarding a big chimney, with a smell of smoke on her body.

Soon, the classmates began to suspect that the two were boyfriend and girlfriend again, because Wu Zhongyuan swiped the card to pay the bill when he had dinner recently, and others didn't know the reason, but Wu Zhongyuan knew that he was bitter, not that he wanted to invite, but that Wang Xinran didn't charge the meal card.

Later, Wang Xinran went even further and borrowed money from him.

"Are you a salaried person borrowing money from a poor student with me?" Wu Zhongyuan was stunned.

"Look at your slamming appearance, it's not that you won't pay you back, hurry up, take five hundred. Wang Xinran looked disdainful.

Wu Zhongyuan was reluctant, "How much is your monthly salary?"

"More than four thousand, isn't it pitiful?" Wang Xinran took the banknote and stuffed it into his pocket.

"More than 4,000 of you're smoking soft China. Wu Zhongyuan grinned.

"Do you want to care?" Wang Xinran turned around and left, leaving Wu Zhongyuan in place, with a look of disgust.

In a blink of an eye, it was almost New Year's Day, and I didn't see anything abnormal, Lin Qingming would come to see him every once in a while, and this time a woman came with Lin Qingming.

The woman was about twenty-two or three years old, driving a foreign car of unknown brand, Lin Qingming got out of the car, she didn't get down, she sat in the driver's seat and held a small box to touch up her makeup.

"Brother, who is she?" Wu Zhongyuan took the fruit brought by Lin Qingming.

"Zhao Lin. Lin Qingming said casually.

"What is she doing?" Wu Zhongyuan asked again, although he didn't know the car Zhao Lin drove, he knew that a car with four exhaust pipes was not cheap.

"Zhao Dazhong's daughter. Lin Qingming took out a cigarette and lit one.

"What do you have to do with her?" Wu Zhongyuan asked again.

Lin Qingming didn't answer.

After waiting for a while, he didn't see Lin Qingming answering, Wu Zhongyuan knew in his heart, this Zhao Lin is now Lin Qingming's girlfriend.

"What's the matter lately?" asked Lin Qingming.

Wu Zhongyuan shook his head, he was remembered by officials and thieves, he must not tell Lin Qingming about this, otherwise he will be worried, as for the rest, it is really nothing, take a step back and say, even if there is really something, he does not dare to tell Lin Qingming, he is different from Lin Qingming, it is better not to do it if he can make noise, and Lin Qingming is able to do it and definitely not to make noise.

"What are the arrangements for the winter vacation?" Lin Qingming asked again, the house of the two in their hometown was demolished, and Wu Zhongyuan had nowhere to go during the holiday.

"I want to go back to the county and go to the hospital to work, I haven't seen Huang Ping for a long time, and I want to see her. Wu Zhongyuan said.

Lin Qingming naturally knew why Wu Zhongyuan said this, tilted his head and glanced at him, but did not answer.

"Brother, do you like her?" Wu Zhongyuan snorted at the car.

"It's okay," Lin Qingming waved at the car, "Come down and meet Zhongyuan." ”

When the woman heard this, she hurriedly put down the makeup box, got out of the car and greeted Wu Zhongyuan, she was very polite and her attitude was okay.

Seeing that Zhao Lin listened to Lin Qingming's words very much, Wu Zhongyuan was relieved, but he was also a little disappointed, to be precise, he was lost for Huang Ping, Huang Ping has liked Lin Qingming for many years, Lin Qingming has always been very cold to her, this is over, Huang Ping has no chance at all.

After a short stay, the two got in the car and left, and Wu Zhongyuan walked back with the fruit.

As soon as he entered the school gate, Wang Xinran greeted him and took the things in his hand, "Zhao Dazhong has an underworld background, you had better persuade your senior brother not to get too close to him." ”

"Do you think he'll listen to me?" Wu Zhongyuan shook his head helplessly.

Wang Xinran didn't say anything more, and changed the subject, "Don't make other arrangements during the winter vacation, come with me." ”

"What do you want to do?" Wu Zhongyuan was vigilant.

Wang happily took the apple out of the bag and chewed it heavily, "Take you to a place." ”

Wu Zhongyuan didn't ask where Wang Xinran wanted to take him, and directly refused, "Don't go." ”

"You're going, there's something you're definitely interested in. Wang said happily.

Everyone has curiosity, and Wu Zhongyuan is no exception, "What?"

Wang Xinran opened his mouth to bite the apple, took out his mobile phone with his free hand, pulled up the album and handed it to Wu Zhongyuan.

Wu Zhongyuan stretched out his hand to take it, and when he looked at it, he almost threw away his mobile phone, this is a photo of a dried corpse, looking at the figure of a man, with gray hair, he should have been quite old when he died, although the skin and flesh were not rotten, but they were already shriveled and blackened.

"Why are you letting me see the dead body?" Wu Zhongyuan looked at Wang Xinran suspiciously.

Look at his chest. Wang said casually.

Dewang happily reminded Wu Zhongyuan to look at the photo again, only to see that the skin color on the chest of the dried corpse was indeed different from other parts, and if he looked closely, it was a tattoo, the size and position of the tattoo were very similar to the tattoo on his chest, but the pattern was different, this dried corpse was tattooed with a mighty bear head, the bear's mouth was wide open, and the fangs were long.

"This male corpse is also chromosomal abnormal, there are forty-seven chromosomes, and after comparison, it is found that his extra chromosome is 20% similar to one of your chromosomes. Wang said happily.

"Where did you find it?" Wu Zhongyuan asked in a deep voice, this dried corpse was different from the bones he had seen before, this dried corpse was a normal human facial feature.

"It was discovered in Huangxian County in 98. Wang said happily.

"Huang County?" Wu Zhongyuan frowned, Huang County was the region where he was located.

"Yes," Wang nodded happily, "This person was a second-class military attache of the Qing Dynasty before his death. ”

"What? Qing Dynasty ......"
