"Well, that's right," Professor Cui paused and said, "There is a privately established archaeological research organization in the capital, some time ago, they found an ancient ruins in a mountainous area, but those people are not professionals after all, they only discovered that place, but did not study and develop it in depth, so through a friend's introduction, the leader of the archaeological organization wanted me to be a consultant, let me follow them to go there to have a look......"

"Oh, I see!" Zhou Xiaolong nodded as he listened.

"Yes, Xiaolong," Professor Cui suddenly changed his words, "You also know, now there are fewer and fewer opportunities to participate in field archaeology, I want to participate, but I'm also old, I'm afraid I can't cope with it alone, this matter is not an internal activity of our archaeology department, and I can't ask the department to bring some helpers along, therefore, I want to take you and let you be my assistant, Xiaolong, are you interested?!" ”

“…… Yes?! Zhou Xiaolong responded with some hesitation.

Zhou Xiaolong actually didn't want to go, after all, it was not a fun thing to go to the field for archaeology with an old man, how nourishing it was to stay in the city and eat and drink with his roommates!

"Ahem, Xiaolong, this is a rare opportunity for field archaeology, think about it, you will take over my work in the Department of Archaeology in the future, at least you should accumulate more experience and experience, don't you say, don't you miss the opportunity to fight?"

"Uh......"

"Xiaolong, you can go back to the dormitory and think about it, do you want to go with me, I won't force your ......"

Listening to what Professor Cui said so sincerely, Zhou Xiaolong couldn't bear to refuse an old man, after all, there are really fewer and fewer archaeological opportunities now.

Zhou Xiaolong asked Professor Cui, "Is it far away?" ”

Professor Cui frowned and said, "It seems to be a little far, the archaeological organization told me that it will take about a week to go back and forth!" ”

Zhou Xiaolong asked again: "So, what is it?!" ”

Professor Cui frowned again and said: "That place is called Savage Mountain, it is relatively remote, and the private archaeological organization in the capital found a hole in that deep mountain, a very deep hole, and they call that hole a bottomless pit......

What the? Savage Mountain, Bottomless Pit???!!!

Just hearing this name, Zhou Xiaolong was suddenly a little confused.

Zhou Xiaolong was a little hesitant, he thought about it for a while, and then asked Professor Cui: "There is a hole in the mountain, even if it is deeper, how can it be called an ancient ruin?!" ”

Professor Cui suddenly came to his senses, he smiled and said: "That hole, it's called the bottomless pit, it's just an adjective, to describe that one who understands very deeply, Xiaolong, don't be nervous, because that cave is not a natural cave, there are obvious traces of human excavation, why would you dig a deep hole in the mountain, isn't it strange?" ”

"Ah, I see?"

"Since there are traces of human beings, you say, is this an ancient ruin?"

"It should be counted," Zhou Xiaolong nodded, and asked again, "But why dig a deep hole?!" ”

"Hehe, that's why those people want to ask me to be a consultant, they don't know, and I don't know now," Professor Cui patted Zhou Xiaolong's shoulder very kindly, "Xiaolong, if we get to the place and see it with our own eyes, won't we know everything?" ”

Hearing this, Professor Cui was determined to take a look.

Savage Mountain, bottomless pit, scary enough to listen to?!

Professor Cui is so old, going to such a far place, how can Zhou Xiaolong, as Professor Cui's student and a friend of the New Year, rest assured?

After chatting for a while, Professor Cui asked Zhou Xiaolong again if he agreed to act with him this time, and if he agreed, the private archaeological organization would give Zhou Xiaolong a lot of remuneration for participating in this field activity.

If Zhou Xiaolong goes with Professor Cui, it doesn't matter how much he is paid, but he can add some experience and at least change his mood.

After thinking about it for a while, Zhou Xiaolong agreed, but Zhou Xiaolong still wanted to make a request of his own.

"What a request, you can ......," Professor Cui said happily.

"Professor Cui, can I bring a helper?" Zhou Xiaolong said with a smile.

"Okay, who are you going to take with you, it's a long way away, and it's hard all the way, so girls can't do it......," Professor Cui said.

"No, no, no, of course I didn't take the girl with me......" Zhou Xiaolong quickly shook his head and said.

"Oh oh, I guessed, are you going to bring Ouyang with you, right?!" Professor Cui knew that Zhou Xiaolong and Ouyang Lei had a good relationship, and the two were inseparable every day.

"Well, I just want to take him with me." Zhou Xiaolong nodded.

"Okay, but I'm going to ask for instructions on the archaeological organization, I think it should be fine, multiple people and multiple helpers?" Professor Cui picked up the book and walked towards the outside of the classroom with Zhou Xiaolong, "Xiaolong, you go back and prepare first, leave it to me to ask for leave with the department, I will let Director Tao do it, and you will call you in advance to inform you when you leave on the specific day." ”

"Okay, Professor Cui."

After the matter was settled, Professor Cui and Zhou Xiaolong broke up at the door of the classroom.

Zhou Xiaolong and Professor Cui went to the field for investigation, why did he take Ouyang Lei, indeed, in the past two semesters, Ouyang Lei has always been by Zhou Xiaolong's side.

Although Ouyang Lei, a little fat man, has no ability, but with him by his side, Zhou Xiaolong is used to it, after all, Ouyang Lei is also Zhou Xiaolong's first apprentice.

Even if Ouyang Lei can't help much, at least, with Ouyang Lei by his side, Zhou Xiaolong won't be bored along the way, otherwise with Professor Cui, it will definitely be boring and boring.

All the way back to the dormitory, Zhou Xiaolong saw Ouyang Lei, and he told Ouyang Lei that Professor Cui was going to take the two of them to participate in archaeological activities in the field.

When Ouyang Lei heard this, he was naturally very happy.

Because Ouyang Lei is a little fat man who loves to move and does not like to be quiet, he is just the opposite of Qi Dongqiang's otaku.

Moreover, if you participate in field archaeology, you don't have to sit in class every day and take boring cultural classes, not to mention that there will be a good reward, so Ouyang Lei is so happy.

After obtaining Ouyang Lei's consent, Zhou Xiaolong went home, after all, he was about to go out, and he wanted to talk to Xia Xue and Bai Zimo.

In the taxi, Zhou Xiaolong received a phone call, it was Gu Lili.

Gu Lili said that she wanted to invite Zhou Xiaolong to dinner tonight, eat good food, and apologize for the ridiculous date yesterday.

Zhou Xiaolong told Gu Lili that it was a pity that he couldn't do it tonight, because Professor Cui asked Zhou Xiaolong to accompany him to participate in a field archaeological activity in two days, and Zhou Xiaolong was on his way home.

Gu Lili was very curious, so she asked Zhou Xiaolong a few more words about field archaeology, Zhou Xiaolong actually didn't know much, he only said a few words.

But in Gu Lili's voice, it seemed as if Zhou Xiaolong deliberately made this matter quite mysterious.
