The head of the water group glanced at the target, and then at Shi Xiaobao, and was silent for a while, as if he was thinking about something.

No one bothered the water chief.

People can see that the head of the water group should be deciding whether to participate in the bet of the crowd. Although Shi Xiaobao really wanted the head of the water group to participate, he pretended to be a gambler or not.

Of course, a group of archaeologists wanted the water captain to gamble, because the water captain became their only hope of revenge.

Under the gaze of dozens of pairs of eyes, the head of the water group finally spoke.

"I don't have any money." The head of the water group uttered four words.

"Cut, there's no money to talk about a fart!" Shi Xiaobao scoffed.

"I've got a good thing, though." The head of the water group looked at Shi Xiaobao.

"What's good?" Shi Xiaobao's eyes lit up.

"My necklace." The head of the water group took a silver-white necklace from his neck.

"! How much is a necklace worth! It's so fine, it's platinum, and it's worth tens of thousands of dollars at most. Shi Xiaobao suddenly lacked interest.

"No, this is no ordinary necklace." The water leader smiled and shook his head.

"What necklace?" Shi Xiaobao was aroused by the water group leader and asked curiously.

"It's an antique ......"

"Hahaha, I found out that you were guarding and stealing." Shi Xiaobao laughed.

"No, it wasn't found in the tomb, it was found in a coal seam 300 million years ago, and I spent a month working to buy it."

"How much do you get a month...... Wait, old man Shui, don't bully me for not reading much, but I know that the longest history of human beings is only 5,000 years, and 300 million years ago, there were no human beings. Shi Xiaobao raised his middle finger to show disdain.

"Xiaobao, you are wrong again, according to some evidence, there has been more than one human civilization on the earth." The head of the water group smiled.

"Ah......" Shi Xiaobao was stunned for a moment.

"One summer in 1968, an American amateur fossil expert knocked open a fossil at Antelope Spring, near Utah, which is also famous for its trilobite fossils. This knock not only loosened the theory of evolution that modern mankind has believed in for more than 100 years, but also opened another door for the study of the history of human development. When the American named William knocked on the fossil, he was shocked to find a complete shoe print on a trilobite, about 26 centimeters long and 8 or 9 centimeters wide. Judging from the concave heel part of the shoe print, this should be a pair of shoes similar to the loafers worn by modern humans, which means that the owner of this shoe lived in an environment with a certain civilization. It is doubtful that trilobites are creatures that grew between 600 million and 200 million years ago, in other words, did there exist as human civilization as us before this long historical period? ”

"What does this have to do with your necklace?" Shi Xiaobao's character is known for his stubbornness, so naturally he will not be easily convinced.

"Xiaobao, don't interrupt the head of the water." Wang Fool's heart was overturned, and he hurriedly stopped Shi Xiaobao from interrupting the words of the head of the water group.

"According to historical records, the history of human civilization does not exceed 5,000 years, but in some places, relics and relics of human civilization 5,000 years ago have been found one after another. Clayderman, a professor at the University of Oregon in the United States, was stunned to find 200 pairs of silk sandals in the Ramos Cave in Eastern Nevada, and after scientific testing, it was determined that the shoes were products 9,000 years ago, which contradicted the conclusion that the civilization of human society did not exceed 5,000 years, which was simply incredible. In the coal seam of Fisherman's Canyon in Paixin County, Nevada, a shoe print with clear lines was found, according to scientific instruments, it is estimated that the shoe print is at least 15 million years old, and in 1959, scientists found a complete shoe print in the Gobi Desert, which is estimated to be 1 million years old, and human beings only put on shoes thousands of years ago, so who stepped on this shoe print 1 million years ago? In 1401, it was found in the Pallas tomb excavated in Rome, and the pit that should have been a black hole hole, But unexpectedly lit a bright lamp, which has been burning for 2,000 years......"

"Oh...... I see why you're telling me this! Shi Xiaobao suddenly realized.

"Ah...... What do you understand? The head of the water regiment was stunned.

"You are nothing more than convincing me to fool me, proving that the necklace around your neck is very precious and precious, and it will never be a stall."

"Ahem......" Elder Shuituan blushed.

"Okay, you're the head of the regiment, give you some face, you say, how much is this chain worth? Hey...... By the way, you said that you spent a month's salary to buy this necklace, how much is your monthly salary? ”

"This ...... It was decades ago...... My salary is 30 yuan a month......"

"Thirty pieces...... Grandpa Shui, it's only thirty yuan, forget it, for the sake of your face as the head of the regiment, I'll make a price of 30,000. ”

"Too little." The water captain shook his head.

"Hey, don't be ashamed of your face, a broken necklace ......"

"Xiaobao, thirty yuan a few decades ago has more purchasing power than thirty thousand yuan now." Wang Fool saw that the head of the water group showed a displeased look on his face, for fear that the relationship between the two would be stiff, so he hurriedly explained.

"Okay, old man Shui, how much do you say!" Shi Xiaobao had an indifferent expression.

"Five million."

"Ah...... Damn, you rob, such a broken necklace is worth five million. ”

"It's worth so much!" The head of the water group nodded, and his tone was very affirmative.

"Okay, I'm going to have this chain, five million!" Wang Stupid immediately made a decision.

"Stupid brother, you are the rhythm of being a Kaizi......" Shi Xiaobao had a heartbroken expression on his face.

"I have one condition, though." Wang Stupid stared at the head of the water group.

"Huh?"

"I'd like to ask some questions about this necklace."

"Okay."

Although the head of the water regiment is not young, his personality is very bold, and he immediately nodded in agreement.

"Okay, Xiaobao, you can get started."

"Captain Shui, you say, how do we bet?" Shi Xiaobao was in high spirits.

"I have two requests."

"Say."

"First, the distance is thirty meters; Second, hit the bull's-eye and you win! The head of the water regiment was word-by-word.

"Ah...... Old man Shui, you are pheating me! Well, how much is the stake? Shi Xiaobao's face was wailing, but his heart was happy.

"Five million!"

"Damn, I didn't expect that the old man Shui was a lot older, and he was still so arrogant, okay, since that's the case, it's as you wish, otherwise, it would seem that my brother Bao is stingy......" Shi Xiaobao laughed wickedly.

"Xiaobao, lose!" Before Shi Xiaobao finished speaking, Wang Stupid's voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

"Ah......h

"Don't look around, they can't hear. If you lose this game, the money you lose is mine. Don't chirp crookedly, if you win all their money, it will affect our follow-up actions, and after you discover the secret passage to enter the Mausoleum of the First Emperor, you will pit them again, and when the time comes, let each of them owe us a huge debt, hehe, they don't want to help us. ”

"Good!" Shi Xiaobao was overjoyed when he heard this, applauded loudly, and immediately reacted, seeing that everyone was looking at him, he sneered: "Let's start." ”

Gambling began.

Shi Xiaobao stepped back thirty meters.

There was no suspense in the result, Shi Xiaobao's dart hit the bull's-eye, and even missed the target directly.

The necklace of the head of the water regiment was saved, and Shi Xiaobao not only lost the more than two million he won, but also lost more than two million, and a group of archaeologists were all happy, as if they were celebrating the New Year.

This lunch was not eaten in the canteen of the Mausoleum of the First Emperor, but in a nearby restaurant.

After returning to the dormitory building, Wang Fool went to the room of the head of the water regiment.

"Captain Shui, is your necklace really 300 million years old?" Wang Stupid stared at the necklace around the neck of the water regiment leader. Now, Wang Fool has realized that the head of the water regiment is a knowledgeable expert, and perhaps, he knows about the previous prehistoric civilizations.

"You don't believe me?" The head of the water group smiled slightly.

"I ......"

"I'll tell you a story."

"Uh-huh."

"All over the world, there are countless rivers, some of them are rolling waves, some of them are trickling, and the water quality is all sweet and pure. Yet, did you know that there is such a strange river in the world, the surface of the river is full of dead bodies, and the water is sprinkled with ashes? Such a filthy and disgusting river is worshipped by the locals as auspicious holy water. ”

"Ganges!" Wang Stupid blurted out.

"Yes, Ganges. The Ganges River originates in the Himalayas, flows through the Gangetic plain of India, and finally empties into the Bay of Bengal, with a total length of more than 2,700 kilometers. On the banks of the Ganges River, which flows through India, there are four large communal baths, and whenever the traditional wine altar festival comes, thousands of Buddhists flock here from all directions, and the number of people can reach tens of thousands. Buddhists rushed to jump into the water to wash off, and even those who were devout committed suicide by throwing themselves into the water in order to wash away their sins and ascend to heaven with 'holy water', sometimes as many as 10,000 dead. Dense corpses floated all over the river, and after the corpses were recovered, they were cremated on the shore, and the fire of the cremated corpses burned day and night, and the smell of burnt burned throughout the riverbank. The ashes are poured into the river to pay homage to the deceased's wishes. The clean water of the river was so polluted that it became extremely dirty, rancid, and unspeakably dirty. However, those Buddhists who are in the river still swim in the river, and after they have finished praying, they will hold the water in their hands and drink until they are no longer able to drink. Strangely, after drinking this filthy and smelly water, instead of contracting any diseases, some of the original stubborn diseases were cured and their health was restored. The wonderful phenomenon of the Ganges water not causing diseases, but "curing diseases", puzzled scientists, and they took samples of the river water and found that the water quality here is very good, and the trace elements and germs present in the water are not harmful to human health. At the same time, they conducted an interesting experiment by dropping the dreaded Vibrio cholerae into water and observing that the germ was inexplicably eliminated in a very short period of time. From this, it is understood why Ganges water is able to treat some diseases. So, what exactly kills these terrible germs? Scientists took samples of the river and looked at it repeatedly under a microscope, but there were no clues. Faced with the marvelous waters of the Ganges, they are at a loss to find the mystery in it, and they cannot explain this strange anomaly, just as one cannot explain the existence of a Buddha......"

"Does this have anything to do with the necklace?" Wang Stupid looked dazed.

"Nope."

"Ah......h

"I'm just telling you, there's a lot of things in the world that can't be explained."

"That's right." Wang Stupid nodded fiercely, with a look of deep understanding.

"I am an archaeological expert, I have been working in the field for a long time, and I will also come into contact with a lot of undeclassified documents, so I have seen and heard much more than ordinary people."

"Like this necklace!" Wang Fool was afraid that the head of the water regiment would digress.

"It's true that this necklace is 300 million years old, but it doesn't say anything, because the evidence is too thin and simple. However, from this necklace and some things I know, it is surmised that there have been different periods of human civilization on the earth......"

"Why is it determined that it is human civilization?" Wang Fool asked.

"All the prehistoric sites or objects found are related to human beings, such as ornaments or shoes that are suitable for human wear, and have proved that every stage of civilization on the earth is related to human beings."

"Since the earth has many stages of human civilization, why did they disappear and perish?"

There are too many answers, but they are nothing more than natural and man-made disasters. Among them, natural disasters are the earth's climate change caused by tsunamis, earthquakes, solar storms, or plagues, etc., which may cause human extinction; In addition, man-made disasters can also cause the extinction of human beings in a short period of time, such as various forms of warfare, including genetic warfare. In short, human beings are very, very fragile in the face of time......" the water captain sighed.

"The head of the water group seems to have something on his mind." Wang Fool felt that the water group leader's sigh was heavy.

"I've dedicated my whole life to archaeology, and I've seen too many solidified tragedies in my career......"

"A solidified tragedy?" Wang was stunned.

"A couple embracing each other in a thousand-year-old coffin, a great mother protecting her child in volcanic ash, and a couple snuggling up in a 10,000-year-old glacier......"

There was silence in the room.

The words of the head of the water group resonated with Wang Fool.

In the face of the long river of time, human beings seem insignificant.

Ants are insignificant in the eyes of humans, and humans will trample countless ants to death every day when they walk, and in the face of the long river of time, humans are not even as good as ants.

If it is true that there are different periods of human beings living on the earth, then each period of human beings has ended in extinction, and even their glorious history has left no trace.

In hundreds of millions of years, the earth has been in constant motion, there are volcanic eruptions, floods, and viruses are rampant, and any matter will have a decay period, in the long river of time, things that can be left behind, need a very special environment, and preservation, and may not be found, such as the necklace on the neck of the water chief, if it is not because of accidental discovery, it will also be sent into the furnace with black coal, and it will be wiped out.

Now, Wang Du can already be sure that the human beings exterminated by the barbarians are only the human civilization of one of the human beings on the earth......
