Chapter 214: The Little Fish Takes the Bait
Gu Yuanxiang listened to Kan Ziyi's tone, this matter should not be over for long.
She waited patiently for a few days and found that things had calmed down again.
But everyone seems to be more worried. The undercurrents are even more pronounced under this calm water wave.
Until one day, another person got up at night, and everyone's first reaction was that it was finally here again.
This time this person is different from the last time, this person has learned from the experience of the previous person, did not cut corners, and walked honestly. As a result, there were many potholes on the road at night, and I accidentally stepped on the potholes. The swollen ankles look like steamed buns, although they are not broken, they will not be better for a while.
Everyone doesn't know how this pit came about, but what lacks virtue is that this pit is also covered with a layer of straw. You can't even see a pit there during the day, let alone at night when it's dark.
On the third night, someone fell again, this time in advance, and when he felt that he might fall, he wisely supported himself with his hand.
The archaeological team had several accidents one after another, and the nearby villagers became more and more convinced that the high priest's curse was real. Those who offended the gods were punished, and they became increasingly resistant to the archaeological team.
In order to appease the emotions of the nearby villagers, the archaeological team had to temporarily suspend the excavation work.
Everyone is as patient as possible when they get up at night, and they also arrange people to patrol and be on duty at night (1) (this ~ read (novel) ybdu.
After being well prepared, no other team members were injured. But the excavation could not be continued.
Nearby villagers even brought offerings and sandalwood from their homes and bowed in the direction of the cemetery. This behavior quickly spread to other villagers, and smoke and sacrifices could be seen on the periphery of the archaeological site every day.
These people just came to bow down and did not act excessively, and the nerves of the villagers were already very nervous, and they could no longer be stimulated to make them make crazy moves.
When Gu Yuanxiang got up every morning and went out for a walk, he saw these pious villagers with an indescribable weirdness, as if he was in Liaozhai. In the story, there are often scenes of villagers carrying tributes and sandalwood to worship in front of a certain place in the forest at night. Thinking of this, the back of her neck was cold, and most of the people who did these things in the story ended badly.
"What's going on?"
Gu Yuanxiang returned to his residence and saw that the door was closed, and when he entered, in addition to Zhao Yan, many people gathered together for a meeting.
These people who came were the main persons in charge of the archaeological team, and they all knew Gu Yuanxiang and Kan Ziyi. Seeing the two of them coming in, he nodded and continued the original topic.
"The person Xiao Wang found last night should be a nearby resident. However, this person is very alert and familiar with the road conditions in this area. After being discovered, he ran away and disappeared within a few moments. ”
"It's also a good thing, at least we know that someone showed up at night, and it's probably they did the weird things that preceded them. Grab a person, and you can pull out a string of them later. ”
"Again, it's important to find out how they sneaked in. At night, without alarming anyone, you can run here to dig a pit and then slip away. There is no internal response to this. ”
Gu Yuanxiang heard a few words from these people and knew that the incident had made great progress.
Xiao Wang, who was in charge of patrolling last night, is a good comrade who is serious about his work. At three or four o'clock, when people are the most sleepy and lacking, they still stick to their posts. However, this kind of thing is not transferred by the subjective will of the individual, in order to clear up his brain, he decided to run a lap.
Then he heard digging in the darkest part near the small dirt slope. The drowsy brain quickly woke up, and he quietly walked in the direction of the small dirt slope.
Then he saw a man suddenly look in his direction, and before he could react, the man suddenly ran away. His first reaction was to chase, and then he remembered to call someone.
This place is very remote, and he wouldn't have come to this place if he hadn't been running. I shouted for a long time and didn't see anyone coming. And the man was obviously quite familiar with the place, and he was running fast, and in a few minutes no one was gone.
Xiao Wang saw that the person was really gone, so he ran back to report to the leader.
Because everyone didn't know about this last night, Gu Yuanxiang had already gone out in the morning, and when he came back, he happened to meet them in a meeting to discuss.
Kan Zi also joined the discussion, and finally everyone concluded that there might be a passage to the outside that they did not know about.
After discussing the results, everyone began a carpet investigation. Is there a path you don't know or a cave with another exit?
Everyone heard about this strange thing related to this period of time, and they were very motivated, and then everyone found a lot of details that they hadn't noticed before, and a big surprise.
"Will there be a landslide here, is it damp and dark inside, people with claustrophobia must not be able to walk." Gu Yuanxiang squatted in the grove and asked at the entrance of a black hole.
"It's quite dark inside, and it's very short, and tall people can only crawl. If you are afraid of the dark, you will definitely not be able to try this, and you will feel chest tightness and panic when you reach the middle section. Kan Zi also didn't answer the question of whether it would collapse, the tunnel was not dug up at first glance, and it should be fine if it existed well for so long. But if there is an earthquake, it will definitely collapse.
"You walk down the tunnel with tightness in your chest and panic, do you want to see a doctor?" Gu Yuanxiang didn't care if it would collapse. In her opinion, her son and brother can survive if they are sent to an uninhabited island, and they feel tightened and panicked when they walk through the tunnels, is it not in good health recently!
"It's not me, it's someone else who says that my chest is tight and I feel flustered, I'm fine." Kan Zi also replied with a black line.
"Where does the other end lead?" Gu Yuanxiang was relieved when she knew that Kan Zi was fine, and she was not interested in drilling the tunnel at all.
"The other side of the mountain." Kan Zi also pointed in a general direction.
"Could this have been dug during the High Priesthood?" Gu Yuanxiang's mind was opened, if the owner of the tomb was really a high priest. She thought that there were people with high mana in the various tribes shown on TV, some of whom were similar to national teachers. Build a dungeon for himself, those crystals may really be what he is going to use as an energy storage soul for himself.
"It was cast in iron thousands of years ago, and it should be rusted. It was dug very poorly, bare and not even a single ornament. Kan Zi also said helplessly.
"Yes, it's not like there's no earthquake here. It is estimated that a cannonball hit, and the tunnel was almost collapsed. Isn't it boring who digs such a tunnel? Gu Yuanxiang can't have such a long history if he thinks about it.
"The grave robbers dug it, this place has been stolen before, but for some reason they only took some things from the outside of the tomb." The tomb is still relatively well preserved, and Kan Zi even thinks that this tomb can be buried underground for a long time and then excavated later.
"If the grave robbers dug this grave, did those people know about this place and came here, or did they have descendants of tomb robbers among them?" Gu Yuanxiang muttered to himself, and he didn't need Kan Ziyi's answer.
"This tunnel has been around for some years, and it is estimated that eighty percent of them discovered it by chance. Maybe this tunnel was dug during the war.,Isn't there a tunnel war or something.,Maybe this tunnel has this function! Gu Yuanxiang himself laughed at what he said.
"So we're ready to wait for them to emerge from this tunnel again and arrest them?" Gu Yuanxiang asked after talking to himself.
"Yes, they should have walked from here to make a stumbling block every time." Kan Zi was also arranged here today to "guard the plant".
"But the movement of our investigation this time is a bit big, maybe they won't come out of this tunnel just to be on the safe side." Gu Yuanxiang felt that if she herself, she would definitely not leave here in the near future, in case she was caught.
"So it's a bet." The corners of Kan Ziyi's mouth raised slightly, he had a bad feeling, Gu Yuanxiang couldn't help but be a nymphomaniac, he was so handsome!
"We bet they won't just let it go, people are lucky, especially if they have already tasted the sweetness. At this time, if you create some more panic, they can achieve their goal more easily. ”
"Brother Ziyi, you are so handsome! If you keep looking like this, you're going to be fascinated by a lot of little girls! Gu Yuanxiang said nymphomaniac.
"Am I samoted with you, then?" The curvature of the corners of Kan Ziyi's mouth is deeper.
"I'm fascinated, my heart is full of you!" After speaking, he jumped up and hugged Kan Zi and generously offered a fragrant kiss.
The two completely regard this shift "Shouzhu" as a two-person world. Usually there are people everywhere, where is there such a secluded place.
This exit is in a good location, and people outside can't see here, and others won't run here if they have nothing to do. It's a great place to blend in with the inner entrance, and now it's a perfect place for them to live a two-person world.
Kan Zi is also not a member of the archaeological team, so he didn't need to arrange shifts. But his resume is too tempting, and Kan Zi doesn't want to spend it here anymore. I readily agreed to participate in the action together.
Everyone waited for the little fish to take the bait, but the little fish seemed to be frightened and hid below and did not want to come forward.
The archaeological team resumed excavation after a three-day hiatus, and these people were bound to show up if they wanted to hinder the progress of the work.
Sure enough, Kan Zi was also on duty at night, and Gu Yuanxiang was appeased by him and stayed in the camp. In the second half of the night, the hidden exit cover made a "clacking" sound.
Kan Zi also knew that the little fish was finally about to bite the hook. The military literacy cultivated since childhood made him motionless, and seemed to be integrated with this place, but his eyes were always on the active entrance to the tunnel.
Although it was very dark, Kan Zi could clearly see a big man with a beard about thirty years old coming out of the hole. The man was tall, and the narrow hole was crowded for him.
When he finally came out of the hole and was down-to-earth, a dark shadow quickly jumped out, and before he could react, he was already subdued and crushed to the ground.
