Chi Mu Duo grabbed You Fang: "How do you know?" ”

You Fang smiled slightly: "Of course it's speculation, but it's also certain that you guessed so, right?" Don't forget the story, what happened here more than 2,000 years ago? The entire valley was buried nearly 100 meters deep, and it was not easy for those villagers to find the remaining large number of burials, unless a large engineering team was dispatched to dig up the valley and destroy all the fields on which their descendants depended. …… Not to mention the consequences, but the project investment is disproportionate to the output of tomb robbing, this kind of uneconomical thing, no matter how stupid and stupid they are, they will not do it. ”

Chi Mu Duo's face finally turned cloudy and clear, and he carefully told You Fangdao: "Your inference, don't leak it, don't tell anyone!" …… Even if it can't be excavated on a large scale, those villagers will dig like headless flies in order to try their luck, and if they really dig out one or two, it will also create evil, and destroy all the farmland, and this kind of thing has not happened on the Guanzhong Plain. ”

You Fang: "Of course I understand, I won't tell anyone, I just tell you quietly." I see that you look like you have lost your soul, and by the way, I will summon your soul. ”

Just as he was talking, a man with a flashlight came out of the tent, and You Chengyuan asked from a distance: "Zhu Dayou, this black light is blinding, where are you going?" ”

Zhu Dayou was taken aback, walked over and explained: "We have discussed it just now, and we all think that this discovery is too important, and we must quickly notify the county, city, and province." There was no cell phone signal here, so we had to make a phone call outside the village, and it seemed like we were going to stay here all day, so I stopped by to get some supplies, including food and drink. ”

Chi Muduo asked quietly: "You seem to have forgotten that I am the captain, and if you don't report this matter, why do you want to go down the mountain directly as soon as you get out of the tent?" ”

Zhu Dayou said with a smile: "I didn't see you, I thought I had gone down to the tomb, and I was excited and anxious in my heart, so I wanted to notify the outside as soon as possible, this is a major discovery." ”

Chi Mu Duo nodded: "This discovery is too important, and our situation is very bad!" It's the equivalent of being trapped in a valley. In the eyes of criminals, this bronze sacred tree is priceless, and it is difficult not to be tempted. …… I now declare a discipline, everyone present, including myself, is not allowed to act alone, not to contact the outside world without authorization, and everyone must have another person present to supervise when they come into contact with the outside world, until Jianmu is safely sent out. ”

You Fang glanced at his brother-in-law, and secretly said in his heart that his brother-in-law looked gentle and elegant, but he was not a pedantic scholar, and he was very decisive in what to decide, and he was worthy of being Wu Lao's proud protégé. Today's discovery is of course a major achievement in the archaeological academic community, but in the here and now, not only the safety of the artifacts themselves is threatened, but even the personal safety of the archaeological team members is not guaranteed, and it is absolutely necessary to block the news.

Zhu Dayou frowned and asked, "Director Chi, what do you mean by this, who do you suspect?" ”

Ikeki Duo: "I'm not suspicious of anyone, but I just don't want to cause unnecessary trouble, and I am responsible for the safety of the national treasure and the team." If someone leaks the news to the villagers, or reaches the ears of the criminals, what does it mean for you to know? ”

Zhu Dayou said excitedly: "Director Chi, I have been doing this for seven or eight years, and I am also an old cultural relics worker!" This time I came to Feiju Village with you, did I suffer less, did I have a complaint? I want to quickly notify the county cultural relics workstation and ask them to send someone to respond, this is the responsible attitude, why are you stopping me? ”

Chi Mu Duo: "I didn't stop you, but I'm the captain, and it's up to me to decide who to notify and when." I ask you to abide by the discipline that has just been announced. ”

Zhu Dayou: "Of course I know what I should do or not, and I don't need to be reminded by Director Chi." I am from the local workstation, and the cultural relics found in the local area must be reported in a timely manner according to the procedures, which is also my job responsibility. Director Chi is the guide and leader of this excavation work, and I certainly respect your opinion on on-site professional and technical issues, but from an administrative point of view, I am not under your jurisdiction. Director Chi is holding me back, is there any personal purpose? ”

The staff of the county's archaeological workstation reacted unexpectedly fiercely, and he was determined to go out, he said this is equivalent to tearing his face, Chi Muduo is a technical expert drawn from other provinces, although he is the leader of the scene, he can't control Zhu Dayou from the administrative relationship. Zhu Dayou tried his best to be criticized or punished by his own leaders afterwards, but he didn't listen to Chi Muduo, there was really no way, the archaeological team was not an army after all.

"Report in a timely manner according to the procedure" is not bad at all, but what is the concept of "timely"? The here and now is definitely not suitable!

It's the middle of the night, in a valley where there is no contact with the outside world, and the only way in and out of the valley is the inaccessible village of Feiju. If the news leaks out, the one who can arrive as quickly as possible is definitely not someone from the higher-level archaeological department. Even the police investigating the case have not yet had time to enter the village, if a group of profit-hungry gangsters enter the valley at this time and steal Jianmu, what can the archaeological team members do?

Large-scale excavations in Feiju Village continued for several years, and the excavated artifacts appeared not only in Panjiayuan, but even at Christie's international auctions. The villagers just sit in the village and sell "local products", and the rest of the things are not known much, and it is impossible to do without the participation of professionals except the villagers.

You Chengyuan once suspected that there were ghosts in the archaeological team, there were many things, not as tortuous and complicated as the plot in the police movie, Zhu Dayou insisted on going out overnight in this situation, and even did not hesitate to collide with Chi Muduo, the matter could not be more obvious.

It's a pity that Chi Muduo doesn't have any evidence to prove that he is colluding with the outlaws, and he has no right to force him not to report, so he shook his head and said, "Since you say so, then you can go, be careful on the road." ”

He let Zhu Dayou go, and he didn't send anyone to supervise him, watching him walk down the hill, and then turned around and walked towards the tent, You Chengyuan glanced at You Fang, and also followed behind Chi Muduo. After entering the tent, several team members were still dismantling the building wood, and Chi Muduo asked, "Why did Zhu Dayou go down the mountain alone?" ”

The others were surprised and said, "Is there such a thing?" He just said he had something to report to you. We just discussed here, and found that the news of Jianmu must not be known to the villagers, otherwise it will be troublesome. Why do we have to wait until tomorrow when a large number of police enter the village, can we rest assured that we can contact the outside world, we discussed, we will simply stay here for the next two days, and bring all the food and drink. ”

Chi Mu Duo sighed: "So that's the case, Dayou left just now, and said that he would report it immediately." ”

At this time, You Chengyuan suddenly said: "The mountain road at night is very difficult to walk, and there may be wild beasts in the mountains, and it is very unsafe for Zhu Da to have a person back to the village." ”

You Fang also answered: "Yes, if there is an accident on the road, there is not even a person to help, it is too dangerous." ”

Chi Mu Duo twisted his face and said, "In this case, why don't you rush over and go back to the village with Dayou, you can take care of it on the way." You came here in the middle of the night, and you should go back, remember, after returning to the village, you must keep the news secret, and notify you in time if there is any movement. ”

You Fang agreed, picked up a flashlight and left, Chi Muduo said again: "It's been a tired day, you take turns to rest, this work is very detailed, and the state can't be too tired." ”

After speaking, he walked out of the tent with You Chengyuan, and was about to look at the remaining murals, looking at the back of You Fang on the hillside who was leaving quickly, as if whispering to himself: "Don't mention some things, don't even ask." ”

You Chengyuan patted her husband on the back: "You can rest assured that he will handle it, it must be better than you." ”

……

Zhu Dayou was very anxious, listening to Xu Kai's introduction, a large number of police will enter the village tomorrow, but there is such a major discovery tonight, it will be difficult to start if you miss the time. His heart was like a fire burning, and like a cat scratching, that incomparably beautiful bronze building wood, like a golden cash tree, if...... Then you don't have to worry about anything in this life.

He has always known about the tomb robbery in Feiju Village in the past few years. Three years ago, the villager named Fei Cai ran to the county museum preparation office with a painted pottery pot, and asked him, an "expert", to see if it was worth it and whether the public would accept it? He was taken aback at the time, and quietly told the other party that this thing was an antique, and if it was obtained from a tomb robbery, it was illegal.

However, Fei Cai claimed to be an ancestor, and left immediately in a panic, seeing this reaction, he also understood what was going on? Later, at a nearby antique market, he saw many of the same objects.

Zhu Dayou works in the cultural relics bureau of a small county town, and the unit hangs the signs of the county museum preparation office and the archaeological workstation at the same time, but it is a Qingshui yamen, and the treatment is very ordinary. However, he is usually very idle and has a lot of free time, after all, he is not an expert like Chi Mu Duo and needs to run around the country.

Don't look at the general treatment of the unit, he said that he lived in the local area but was very nourishing, thanks to the blessing of the collection fever in recent years, he is already a very authoritative cultural relics identification expert in the county, many people watched TV, and brought the old-fashioned altars and jars at home to beg him to appraise it, if you encounter a valuable genuine product can not be without benefits.

As early as a few years ago, he took advantage of his work and profession to travel around the nearby cultural relics market, both public and underground, and also engaged in some private collections of his own. Collecting is not the goal, the most important thing is to buy and sell some collectibles, and he knows almost all the cultural relics dealers in this area.

It is difficult to say that this kind of behavior is illegal, and the antique trade in the Yanjing Panjiayuan thrift market is not also carried out under legal circumstances? Collecting and trading in antiques are not necessarily illegal in themselves, and as for the illegal activities in secret, he will naturally be careful not to put them on the surface.

After several years of operation, Zhu Dayou has formed his own antique trading channels and networks, and many antique dealers who receive goods in the countryside are in direct contact with him, including smugglers from Hong Kong. Zhu Dayou has an official status, and at the same time, he also has professional advantages, so it is very convenient to be this kind of middleman.

The emergence of large-scale tomb robbery in Feiju Village is a steady stream of money for him! But he was very careful and never went directly to the door to buy the villagers' things, but suggested that the local familiar antique dealers would collect the goods, and then collect the "unknown origin" things in the antique market, taking advantage of the loopholes in the gray area of the law.

Today, he is an important shipping contact for local antique dealers, and most of the bulk of valuable goods rely on Zhu Dayou's intermediaries, and if Zhu Dayou can't eat by himself, he will also introduce foreign buyers. This kind of transaction pays attention to secret contact. Therefore, he will basically know what good things are unearthed in Feiju Village at the first time, and what big buyers from other places want to look for, he will also tell the down-line dealers to let the villagers go to find them.

At first, he just made some extra money in the gray area of the law, but later he got deeper and deeper, and became involved in illegal antiquities trade and smuggling abroad. He is very secretive, there are no flaws on the surface, and he is still messing around in a Qingshui Yamen, but in fact, there is a lot of influence in secret, and a phone call can completely make nearly 100 people take action.

In the past, Zhu Dayou had always been very cautious, and he did not attempt to monopolize the illegal cultural relics trade here, and the situation where foreign cultural relics dealers directly found Feiju Village was not under his control. But after all, the proportion of such people is small, and the real big buyers will not come directly to do on-site transactions, or need reliable intermediaries in the local cultural relics market, Zhu Dayou has mastered the advantages of information and resource networks.

It can be said that most of the time, he picks the rest of the things that go out of Feiju Village, and the antique dealers who come directly to the door from other places have to try their luck, unless they happen to have something newly dug up by the villagers, so that they can pick the best things. Moreover, the way in which Fei Jucun sold unearthed cultural relics, such as single-line centralized trading and not allowing cultural relics dealers to go to the scene of tomb robbery, were all suggested by him through intermediaries.

Zhu Dayou is not extremely greedy in his usual work, and when the cultural relics change hands, he often only charges an "appraisal fee" to avoid legal risks as much as possible in name. But today he can't care about that much, because the bronze building wood is so valuable, it means a wealth that he can't spend in several lifetimes! Such a good opportunity, but it must be intercepted.

Since ancient times, there have always been people who have done the business of killing heads, and the truth is nothing more than that, there will always be people who will take risks because of huge interests, and they will never recover step by step.

He wasn't even afraid to confront Chi Mu Duo, so what could he do? He insisted on doing things according to the regulations, no one had any evidence of his violation, something really happened, the villagers of Feiju Village were the biggest suspects, and there were fewer of those people's crimes? So far, no one outside the mountain has known about the excavation of bronze building wood, and if things are done cleanly, no one will ever know the inside story.

Zhu Dayou tried not to think about the details as much as possible, but he had a strong expectation in his heart, his head was even a little buzzing, and his body was also hot, and he dared to walk in the mountains at night. As he walked, he thought: "When I leave the village, I will first report to my superiors that important cultural relics have been found here, and I can report the events of the day by the way, and tell the leaders that their situation is very dangerous." Then ......"

By this time he had already walked through the valley floor into the mulberry forest, and before he could think too clearly, he was careless at his feet, stumbled on a branch of a bush sticking out of the roadside, and fell into the bushes by the roadside in a moment. Even more unfortunate was that the side of the road was a gentle downward slope, and he rolled some distance before he was stopped by a mulberry tree, his hands and face were cut by thorns, one foot was twisted, and the flashlight rolled down somewhere.

It was pitch black all around, and he couldn't see anything, a gust of wind blew, he finally woke up, remembering that this was a wild mountain forest, and the dream of making a fortune was temporarily left behind, and a deep fear hit his heart, and he shouted in a trembling voice: "Is there anyone?" Help me! …… Anyone, come and save me! …… Help me! ”

Where is there anyone in this place, even if he shouts out his throat, it is useless! However, his luck was really good, only ten minutes later, just when his voice became hoarse, a bright light came not far ahead, only to hear Xu Kai's voice shouting: "Is it Zhu Dayou?" Where are you? ”

"I'm here, I accidentally fell down, help me!" Zhu Dayong shouted loudly with all the strength of his body.

……

You Fang's feet were very fast, and he extinguished the flashlight in the middle of the valley floor and quietly caught up with Zhu Dayou, and followed him into the mulberry forest, and then, Zhu Dayou fell down and injured himself inexplicably.

You Fang quietly slipped out of the mulberry forest again, waited outside for more than ten minutes, and waited for Zhu Dayou's voice to shout hoarsely, and then shouted again I was afraid that I would not be able to hear it, then turned on the flashlight and walked into the mulberry forest, pretending to have just arrived, "saving" Zhu Dayou, and touching his mobile phone away.

At this moment, You Fang only thought that Zhu Dayou was an inner ghost who reported to the villagers, and he didn't know his specific plans, after all, he had just met, otherwise he might have fallen to death directly with the fall just now!

……

"Xu Kai" came back less than an hour after walking with Zhu Dayou, and it was Xu Kai who carried Zhu Dayou back, Zhu Dayou was injured and couldn't walk, and there were blood stains on his face and hands. Although it was not a big deal, it looked terrifying, and even Ikeki Duo came up from the altar to see the situation.

"It's too dangerous, Zhu Dayou planted his head on the road and fell down the hillside, but fortunately I passed by and heard someone shouting for help. …… There's a first aid kit at the camp, right? Deal with him quickly, fortunately it's not a big deal, it's just that his foot is twisted. You explained to everyone.

Putting Zhu Dayou down in a tent and treating his wounds, Chi Mu Duo said with a calm face: "While everyone is here, I declare a discipline, everyone present, including myself, can not act alone, can not contact the outside world without authorization, when everyone comes into contact with the outside world, there must be another person present to supervise until Jianmu is sent out safely." ”

No one objected, and Zhu Dayou, who was sitting on the ground panting, did not squeak, he was secretly glad that his intentions had not been exposed, at least no handle had been caught. Even if he gets out of the valley, as long as Jianmu hasn't left this mountainous area, he can always think of other ways, and there is still a chance.

You Fang frowned and said, "I have to go back, who will supervise me?" ”

Chi Mu Duo: "I supervise you, and you supervise me!" It just so happens that I also have to go back to the village, deal with some things after dawn, and when the police enter the village, I will report to my superiors, find someone to repair the off-road vehicle as soon as possible, and then bring a batch of food and drink back, we will work at least one day and one night. ”
