Chapter XXXV. on continuation

We spent two more days exploring the remaining two burial chambers, and brought out two pots of Mahamanjushua, these two plants were growing very well, and I asked Ji Ziyang to send them back to Lechuan, and Ji Ziyang gave us three orders before leaving, let us wait for him to come back.

In order to wait for Ji Ziyang, we delayed for another day, during which Uncle Lu took Yun Ximing and Dazhe to buy a lot of military "equipment" without knowing where to go, and I saw that when Dazhe came back, his travel bag was obviously a lot heavier.

When I had nothing to do, I called my grandmother, but no one answered, and I remembered that Ziyang had said that my grandmother might return to China, so I called my apartment in Beijing. The person who answered the phone was the nanny and aunt who came to clean the house every day, and she said that grandma and they had never come back. I called my parents separately, one turned off, one was busy, although this situation had happened before, it was not the first time that my parents and my grandmother disappeared collectively, but my heart still sank, and I sent an email to my father's mailbox.

This mailbox is the mailbox of my father's company, and he must look at it every day, and sure enough, there was a reply soon after.

"Don't worry about it, pay attention to yourself, and act expediently."

I rarely send emails to my dad, and I don't know that my dad, who usually talks about Rory, sends emails so concisely and to the point, but with their news, my heart is a little more settled.

Ji Ziyang looked a little tired when he came back, I don't know how far Lethe was, every time he came back, I felt that he was exhausted, and today he came back slumped in a chair and was drinking a cup of hot cocoa.

"You're back, are things going well?" I asked.

"Okay, when are you going to go down?"

"Isn't this waiting for you, it's all ready." I told me about the preparations we had done in the past two days, and he nodded as he listened.

"The preparation is good, but things have changed a little, this time you can't go to the tomb." He looked at me and said coldly.

"What did you say?!" I was taken aback, "Whether I'm going or not, when will it become what you say?" ”

"Have you forgotten, your life and death are closely related to me, if you go down this time and die inside, it is I who will lose your life." Ji Ziyang said and looked at me coldly, "Until you help me find my body, I can't allow anything that will kill you." ”

"That's good, it's easy to do, then you can protect me and don't let me die?!" I smiled slightly, turned and walked out of the tent, "Rest well, we'll leave early tomorrow morning." ”

The sun is very warm in the early morning, the weather is good today, Dazhe was looking at the yellow calendar in the morning, and he didn't know where he got the old yellow calendar, and sighed while looking at it.

"What are you doing early in the morning, sad spring and autumn?" I asked him curiously.

"I said yin yin, why don't we change the day, it says, everything is not appropriate today, you look at this omen." Dazhe shook his head as he spoke.

"I said fatty, aren't you afraid that everything is inappropriate, isn't it your little sister Jiang who is not here today, are you worried that you won't be able to show her majesty in front of her?" Yun Ximing walked out of the tent as he spoke, and patted Dazhe on the back of the head.

"Come less, what do you say? If you go down, I'll lose to you as a boy. Dazhe shook off Yun Ximing's hand and shook his head. I heard in the morning that Xiao Jiang went to the town to purchase, I'm afraid it will take a day to come back, but in fact, our daily consumption is not very large, this procurement is inevitably a little too frequent, but after all, people are from the provincial archaeological team, and I don't want to overstep my authority.

However, Professor Shi made the same mistake again, moved all the miscellaneous things out, and planned to follow us down, and I couldn't agree to say anything this time, so I persuaded him to say what he said. Seeing that the time is still early, Uncle Lu is streamlining the items that need to be brought, after all, we only have four "people", and we can't bring too many things.

When I had some time, I struck up a conversation with Professor Shi.

"Professor Shi, I see that you and Xiao Jiang have a pretty good relationship, they have worked together for a long time, and she doesn't seem to be very old."

"Xiao Jiang, I'm still young, I just graduated from college this year, and I was transferred to our archaeology team, and we haven't worked together for a long time."

"But now it's quite difficult for college graduates to enter the archaeological team, does Xiao Jiang have any ability?" To be honest, Xiao Jiang and I have become familiar these days, but except for seeing her getting tired of Dazhe and occasionally becoming nymphomaniac with Yun Ximing, I don't see anything special about her, and I can't help but be full of curiosity about this little girl.

"Kui Chief, these years are not like you to do things with your ability, Xiao Jiang, it is a family relationship, this is our archaeological team, but I think the adults in this family are also not bright, you said that although our archaeological team occupies the position of a civil servant, but there is no oil and water, how not to make efforts to let the child into a decent department, the little girl's eyes are not good, to do this errand, it is really difficult for her. But I really like this kid, don't look young, but it's quite smart, and his brain is smart, and he has helped me do a lot of things. ”

"Oh, yes, little ginger is quite clever." I casually agreed, it turned out to be a relation, but who couldn't think so much, and was willing to take the girl to do this drudgery.

I was still thinking about Xiao Jiang's matter, and when Uncle Lu came to remind me that everything was ready, I put Xiao Jiang's matter aside for the time being, picked up my things, followed Uncle Lu, and set off.

The center of the ancient tomb is in the middle of the laughing grass bushes, this place is not difficult to find, that day the old lady and Jia Xianqing a fire, the laughing grass in many places have been burned down, this place is highlighted, the reason is that the surrounding laughing grass was burned and left a lot of dark green and black grass residue on the ground, but only this place, two meters square, there is a circle of laughing grass is still green, look at that, these laughing grasses grow from underground, their roots should be deeper underground, And because this is the entrance to the central burial chamber of the ancient tomb, it has been opened before, and the sealing board of the burial chamber is loose, and laughing grass grows out of the gap around the sealing board. Usually because it is hidden in a large area of smiling grass is not easy to find, but at this time, I can see it clearly, the old lady does not know whether this fire is intentional or unintentional, and actually points out the location of this central tomb to us.

"I said yin, your ancestors are not engaged in garden art, how to design an ancient tomb, and how to make flowers and plants." Ever since Dazhe learned that this ancient tomb may have a relationship with our Kui family, he has been making fun of me about it, as if this ancient tomb is our back garden.

"Less nonsense, the laughing grass is the grass and tree that calms the soul, and planting it here shows that the bottom is by no means a vulgar thing." Yun Ximing explained on the side.

"Let's go." I took the lead in the front, ready to open the sealing board, I pretended to glance behind me casually, and saw Ji Ziyang standing behind him, with a reluctant face, but he was willing to come, I was relieved, and thought to myself, if it was safe this time, I would make him a steak dinner.
