Since I came back from Lijiapu, I have been studying the photos sent to the fat man, trying to find patterns in the lines and thus decipher the secrets, but it has backfired, and there has been no progress.

The fat man was a man who couldn't sit still, and after staying in the store for two days and waiting for the freshness to pass, he disappeared every day during the day, and only returned to Shanglinyuan's residence in the middle of the night. I knew his temperament, and I didn't bother to ask him what he had done.

Liu Rumei has been in the store for a lot longer in the past two days, probably because the company doesn't have to hold meetings in the past two days.

"Qin Fen, news has come from the archaeological team."

Liu Rumei, who was sitting around the tea table and fiddling with the tablet while drinking tea, said to me: "That person is dead. ”

"What?" I was a little surprised, after all, the word death can always easily stir people's nerves, so I hurriedly asked, "Who died?" ”

Liu Rumei continued to drink tea calmly and said, "It's that person, the one who pretended to be Wen Xianbao." ”

Then I realized who she was talking about, and said with some puzzlement: "I remember that the man was in a coma at the time, and the doctor said that he should be fine, and he was sent to the hospital quickly, why did he die a few days later?" ”

Liu Rumei shook his head and said, "I don't know, after all, the person who told me the news was not at the scene, but there is still something strange about it......"

I asked, "What?" ”

Liu Rumei continued: "They said that the man seemed to have been waking up the day before yesterday, and then suddenly lost his vital signs last night. ”

"Oh?" I was a little surprised and asked, "Could it be that the man has come back to light?" Suddenly sober up and then die? ”

Liu Rumei frowned and said, "Probably not, but because of the suddenness of the death, the hospital is now applying for an autopsy, and the cause of death should be known soon." ”

"That's right."

Liu Rumei continued: "Also, the excavation work on the lonely mountain has basically been completed. ”

I calculated the time, it has been several days since I left the Lonely Mountain, and these days it should be Zhou Xingyao presiding over the work on the mountain, and I don't know if he has discovered those "giant eggs".

Liu Rumei seemed to understand my thoughts, and then said: "Uncle Zhou led the archaeological team, did not explore the cave again, after inspecting the altar, he focused on the murals of the cave, and he also ordered someone to temporarily seal the entrance of the cave that collapsed. ”

I nodded as I listened, this approach was in line with Zhou Xingyao's cautious character, but I was still a little curious about who was revealing the news to Liu Rumei, so I asked, "Xiaoliu, where did you get the news here?" ”

Liu Rumei smiled, raised the tablet in his hand, and said, "I have a chat group with Li Xin, do you want to add it?" ”

"I see." I suddenly realized, and then said: "I don't want to join the group, I'm not a member of the archaeological team." ”

Liu Rumei smiled and said, "I'm not from the archaeological team either." ”

I retorted: "You are an intern with the team, you should be considered a member of the archaeological team, but then again, why haven't you returned to Gushan in the past few days?" ”

Liu Rumei, hearing me say this, her expression looked a little strange, she said: "I also want to go back to the archaeological team, but Uncle Zhou won't let me." ”

"Oh, I see." I nodded, indeed as cautious as Zhou Xingyao, in the case of possible danger at the archaeological site, he would not let Liu Rumei take risks.

The mention of the altar just now reminded me of the photos taken by Liu Rumei, so I casually asked, "Did you wash out those photos you took?" ”

"Not yet." Liu Rumei shook her head and said, "The roll of film hasn't been used up yet, I'm too lazy to change it, why do you want it now?" ”

I hurriedly waved my hand and said, "No, just curious where you are rinsing." ”

"At my house." Liu Rumei gestured and said, "There is such a big darkroom, you can rinse it yourself." ”

"Rinse yourself." I was a little surprised that this girl would develop her own photos.

"Uh-huh." Liu Rumei nodded, then refilled some tea into his cup, took another sip, and then said, "Qin Fen, should the agate beads we brought out be handed over to the Cultural Relics Bureau now?" ”

Logically speaking, we should not have brought out that bead, and since we have brought it out, we should immediately hand it over to the state. However, since the incident of someone impersonating Wen Xianbao, I always feel that it is too risky to hand it in now, maybe the people behind it are looking for this bead. Thinking of this, I shook my head and said to Liu Rumei: "Don't want it yet, and when Uncle Zhou comes back, let's make plans." ”

Liu Rumei nodded, didn't ask me why, and then lowered her head and fiddled with her tablet.

"Huh......"

Suddenly, I heard her sigh softly, and I asked curiously, "What's wrong?" ”

She frowned and said, "Li Xin just sent a message saying that Wen Xianbao is missing. ”

"What? How could Moon Hyun Po go missing. "I think it's a little incredible. Disappearance is nothing more than two situations, one is that you are lost, and the other is that someone else has kidnapped the ticket.

Wen Xianbao, as a team leader, although he is airborne, is really a member of the archaeological team, it stands to reason that it is impossible for him to leave the team without authorization, and the chance of getting lost is indeed not great. It's hard to say whether someone else has kidnapped the ticket, after all, the probability of this kind of sudden thing happening is also very low, but considering that someone pretended to be him before, there may also be a possibility of being kidnapped.

"I don't know." Liu Rumei seemed to be asking the same question on the tablet, and after a long while, she said: "Li Xin said, because of the previous incident, Wen Xianbao and You Qianqian have basically been confined to the mountain in the past few days waiting to cooperate with the investigation, and there are special people responsible for following them, just this morning, Wen Xianbao entered You Xiqian's tent and did not come out for a long time, and there has been no sound inside, and people only went to check after people found the abnormality at noon, it turned out that You Xiqian was knocked unconscious, and Wen Xianbao did not know where to go." ”

My brow furrowed even tighter after listening to this, this is another confused account. I have never had a good impression of this woman, and I know very little about her, and I don't know why she was knocked out. From the surface analysis, she has been pursuing Wen Xianbao, and the relationship between the two should be okay, so it is unlikely that she will be knocked out by Wen Xianbao. So who knocked her unconscious and quietly took Wen Xianbao away in the camp in full view. After thinking about it, I said: "I didn't expect so many things to happen on the mountain, as for whether Wen Xianbao was taken away by someone or he left on his own, maybe only You Xiqian can tell." ”

"Hmm." Liu Rumei answered, and then continued to chat on the tablet, and after a while, said, "You Xiqian is fine, but she seems to be frightened and can't remember what happened." ”

I shook my head and asked, "Does Uncle Zhou know?" ”

"Got it." Liu Rumei continued: "Uncle Zhou has already contacted the local armed police, and has already made people start looking for Wen Xianbao everywhere. ”

"Hey!" I sighed and said, "Who knew that so many things could happen in this little lonely mountain, and there would be waves of unevenness. ”

"Well, indeed."

I continued, "Looks like someone is doing something in the back." ”

"But who could it be? What is the picture? Liu Rumei frowned.

I shook my head and said, "It's scary because I don't know." ”

Liu Rumei thought for a while, and then said, "You said Uncle Zhou, will you know something?" ”

I shook my head, I hadn't thought about it, and I didn't expect her to ask that.

"Feathered Clan...... Resurrection ......" I muttered these two words, and suddenly remembered that Liu Rumei had mentioned ancient books, maybe it had something to do with it, so I asked: "Xiaoliu, where did you mention the ancient books about the Feather Human Clan?" ”

"At home." Liu Rumei may have felt strange when she heard me suddenly ask this, and asked, "Why are you asking this?" ”

I shook my head and said, "I always feel that these things that happened on the Lonely Mountain may have something to do with the Feather Clan. ”

Liu Rumei was puzzled and said, "Won't it?" I think that even if the Feather Race is real, after all, thousands of years have passed, and everything about it has long since disappeared in the long river of history, and who can know this? ”

I thought about it for a long time and said, "Since there are ancient records, there must be people who know about them." ”

Liu Rumei frowned and said, "Even if someone knows, will anyone still be entangled in those ancient histories?" ”

"Ugh." I sighed and said, "Maybe there's something out there that they all need right now." ”

"What do you need right now?" Liu Rumei repeated, and then said, "You mean resurrection?" ”

I was not sure of the answer: "Maybe." ”

After Liu Rumei was silent for a long time, she said, "Is there really such a thing as resurrection from the dead in this world?" ”

I shook my head and lost my mind.

"The resurrection is very obscure in the ancient books." Liu Rumei said while fiddling with the tablet: "I read that ancient book when I was very young, and I basically couldn't understand it at the time, but then I slowly understood it and felt that what was written on it was too bizarre, so I basically read it as a fantasy story, but I didn't expect it to be connected with history again." ”

"Legends are not necessarily groundless, such as Yu chiseling the Dragon Gate, Shun cultivating the mountains, these things may be true, but there are exaggerations or myths." I thought about it, and then said: "Another example is the record of the Yellow Emperor's battle against Chi You, Chi You is entrenched in Jiuli and has the help of the wind and rain division, and the wind and rain are feasible. ”

I took a sip of tea and continued: "According to historians, the Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor both lived in the mountains and were not good at water warfare, and Jiuli, where Chiyou was located, was precisely the land of water swamps. ”

Liu Rumei nodded, it seemed that she had also heard of this.

I refilled the cup of tea in her cup, and then said: "Most people think that the battlefield between the Yellow Emperor and Chiyou is in the south, which is also a misunderstanding, the Jiuli tribe at that time occupied the area mainly in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, the Yellow Emperor lives in the north of Lishan, and the Yandi lives in Huashan and the south of Huashan, the angle between the two is now Hedong City, thousands of years ago here was still a swamp, the legendary Sanmiao Water Village is on this land, I think the salt lake and copper resources mastered by Chiyou are the real fuse of the war. ”
