The fat man and I got up early and began to tidy up the house, because we knew in advance that there would be more people coming to the archaeological team, and the small place in the house must not be able to sit, so we moved the tables and chairs at home to the courtyard. Grandma helped her parents boil water and wipe the tables and chairs, while Grandpa sat alone in the courtyard quietly sipping tea. After all this, the fat man and I stood at the gate waiting for the archaeological team to arrive, and passed the time without saying a word.

The archaeological team came in a total of four vehicles, with a Mitsubishi off-road in the front, a Humvee, and two Great Wall pickup trucks pulling equipment in the back. The fat man looked at the slowly approaching convoy and whispered to himself, "...... Hummer...... There is really a future for cultural relics......"

I couldn't complain about the fat man's words, but I felt that his values had been completely distorted, so I pretended not to hear.

The fat man suddenly asked, "Waste, do you think Sister Liu will come?" ”

"Sister Liu?" Hearing this title, I almost didn't react, and after a while, I thought that he was talking about Liu Rumei, so I smiled and said: "If people are coming or not, how do I know." ”

The fat man looked at the convoy in the distance, and then asked, "You haven't contacted her in the past two days?" ”

"I'm fine, why do you contact the little girl." I also looked at the convoy and said, "Besides, I don't even have people's contact information." ”

"Tut-tut......" The fat man smacked his lips to the side, looked back at me with disdain, and said, "It's really a waste." ”

"You ...... again"

"A gentleman doesn't move his hands ......"

"I'll bite you to ......"

"Surrendered...... Don't make a fuss...... Here comes the car...... Oops......"

The fat man yelled and stayed away from the convoy. The road in front of my house was still wide enough, and the fat man was directing the car to pull over. There are a total of three people in Mitsubishi off-road, Zhou Xingyao, Liu Rumei and the young driver I have seen before. A total of six young people came down from the two pickup trucks, and as soon as they got out of the car, they headed towards Zhou Xingyao. The Humvee also got down with three people, two men and one woman, and after getting out of the car, they also walked slowly towards Zhou Xingyao.

I turned back to the yard to inform my family, and then I came out with my grandfather. At this time, the fat man had already led everyone over. followed by another polite greeting, and Zhou Xingyao introduced both sides.

Two men and one woman came down from the Humvee, one of them was a young man, well-dressed and handsome, but his eyes looked a little cold, his name was Wen Xianbao. The young woman, wearing sunglasses and heavy makeup, was dressed very fashionably, and her name was Yussi. Another young man named Sun Yaohua stood behind You Xiqian with his waist bent, his appearance was somewhat obscene, and a cloud was tattooed on his exposed wrist.

The six young people who followed Zhou Xingyao were named Li Xin, Shi Jian, Xia Qiang, Chang Wei, Wang Hao, and Zhang Kai. And Liu Rumei and the driver had all met a few days ago, so Zhou Xingyao did not introduce them again.

Everyone crowded into the compound, and after Zhou Xingyao sat down with his grandfather, the others also looked for their own seats. I helped my mother bring me a plate of dried fruits and tea, and only after arranging it did I sit down next to the fat man.

At this time, I saw that the young man named Kong Yaohua walked quickly to a seat next to Zhou Xingyao, took out a towel from his pocket like a trick, quickly wiped the chair a few times, and then looked at Wen Xianbao with a smile and said, "Brother Bao, sit here." ”

Wen Xianbao sat down expressionlessly, ignoring Kong Yaohua's courtesy at all, but turned his head and whispered something to Zhou Xingyao.

Kong Yaohua seemed to be very accustomed to such a scene, the smile on his face did not change at all, he lowered his head and turned to an empty seat next to Wen Xianbao, picked up the towel in his hand and wiped it a few times quickly. He took out a square towel from his pocket, shook it and spread it on the seat, and then said to You Xiqian, who was standing aside, "Sister Qian, sit here." ”

You Xiqian didn't speak, she sat down expressionlessly, took off her sunglasses and turned her head to look at Wen Xianbao. Kong Yaohua next to him seemed to be very satisfied with his actions, smiled and sat down in the seat next to You Xiqian, and then folded the towel in his hand as if no one else had done so.

"Really good at licking...... This grandson belongs to a dog, right? The fat man whispered in my ear.

I glanced at him and said, "Whisper......"

"Oh, they can't hear it, what are the ...... about those two people?"

"You don't have to say a word......"

“……”

While the fat man was talking to me, my mother and everyone exchanged a few polite words, and then they took my grandmother back to the house. 's father was listening to Zhou Xingyao chatting with his grandfather, he was originally a person of few words, and he was even more speechless on this occasion.

Zhou Xingyao saw that everyone sat down, cleared his throat and said, "Everyone is together, let me say a few words, the city bureau attaches great importance to this archaeological mission......

Everyone was listening to him quietly, and when he talked about the personnel arrangement, I noticed that Shi Jian and the others sitting on the side were in a commotion.

"What's the situation?" The fat man asked me in a low voice, and he saw that I shook his head lightly and continued to listen to Zhou Xingyao's speech without answering.

Zhou Xingyao's speech continued: "...... After the study and decision of the Municipal Bureau, Comrade Wen Xianbao served as the leader of the archaeological team, and the excavation work was ......"

"What's the situation?" The fat man turned his head again and whispered to me, and I frowned at this time, still not answering him, but only motioning for him to continue listening.

"Uncle Zhou, aren't you going into the mountain this time?" The fat man finally couldn't hold it back anymore and interrupted Zhou Xingyao's speech.

Zhou Xingyao looked at the fat man with a smile and said, "I won't go into the mountain this time, the city bureau has other arrangements for me, and I will return to the city in a while." ”

"Hey!" The fat man sighed and said, "That's a pity." ”

"It's a pity?" Zhou Xingyao didn't know why, and asked, "Little fatty, what did you say about it?" ”

The fat man said regretfully: "Uncle Zhou, if you don't enter the mountain this time, the rabbit meat will not be eaten." ”

Everyone was confused by the fat man's words, and they didn't know what Zhou Xingyao had to do with eating rabbit meat if he didn't enter the mountain. Zhou Xingyao himself was confused, and looked at the fat man with a confused expression. I saw that the fat man didn't mean to explain at all, so I smiled and said, "Uncle Zhou, Xiaopang has been waiting for the archaeological team for the past few days, and he hasn't been idle for a day, thinking about going up the mountain to catch rabbits." ”

"That's it!" Zhou Xingyao smiled and said to the fat man: "Little fatty, if you catch a rabbit, remember to leave a rabbit leg for Uncle Zhou." ”

The fat man giggled "hehe" on the side, and everyone laughed too.

Zhou Xingyao then said to everyone: "Xiaopang is the guide to enter the mountain this time, and he is responsible for the route into the mountain......

Zhou Xingyao briefly introduced the personnel arrangement, and the general situation is as follows: Wen Xianbao is the leader of the archaeological team; Shi Jian, Li Xin and other six talents are the main force of this archaeological excavation; What puzzled me a little was that You Xiqian was actually logistical support, and that Kong Yaohua was not on the list of the archaeological team at all; Liu Rumei only participated in this mission as an intern; The fat man should be a guide, which is also something that was decided from the beginning; I was only included in the list of archaeological team members, but I didn't know what it was doing.

After Zhou Xingyao finished speaking, he invited Wen Xianbao to speak. I have to say that Wen Xianbao's speech level is still very high, although they are all painless clichés, but he still speaks in a clear manner.

"Everything that should be arranged has been arranged, what should be said has been said, and then it's up to everyone, do you have the confidence to complete the task?" Wen Xianbao is doing the final pre-war mobilization.

"Yes...... Yes...... Yes! Everyone responded in twos and threes.

"Zhou Ju, is there anything else?" Wen Xianbao asked Zhou Xingyao again, Zhou Xingyao shook his head and said no, Wen Xianbao stood up and announced his departure.

Seeing that everyone was leaving, my father and grandfather got up to see each other off. At this time, I suddenly remembered the matter of the clay pot, so I hurriedly went back to the house and came out with the cardboard box and handed it to Zhou Xingyao.

At this time, everyone had already left the courtyard and stood near the convoy in twos and threes. I was surprised to find that Liu Rumei was talking to the young driver who drove Mitsubishi off-road, and the young man listened very carefully, nodding his head from time to time, and seemed to be very respectful to Liu Ruyan. After Zhou Xingyao and his grandfather said goodbye, they sat directly in Mitsubishi off-road with a cardboard box, Liu Ruyan seemed to have finished explaining, and the young driver also got on Mitsubishi off-road, and after starting the car, he drove Zhou Xingyao away.

"Team Wen, let's go too." It was the fat man who spoke, and this "Wen Team" provoked Shi Jian and the others to look at the fat man again.

Wen Xianbao did not hesitate and beckoned everyone: "Okay, let's go too." ”

The fat man walked up to the Humvee, opened the passenger door with one hand, and said, "Then I'll sit in front and lead the way." ”

Wen Xianbao nodded and said to the fat man, "Okay." ”

Kong Yaohua said while opening the door of the back seat: "Brother Bao, you can only sit in the back row." ”

Wen Xianbao didn't say anything, and You Qianqian on the side seemed to be very happy, and she opened the back seat door on the other side and was about to sit in. At this time, I heard Wen Xianbao shouting: "Xiaoliu, you can also come and take this car." ”

When You Xiqian heard him say this, her body stiffened significantly, and then she quickly sat in the car, "Bang! The door slammed shut.

"Thank you, Team Wen, I'll sit on the pickup in the back." Liu Rumei said that she had already walked towards me, and raised her little hand and waved it at me as she walked. I didn't know what she meant, but I saw Wen Xianbao's smile freeze, the corners of his mouth twitched twice, and he didn't say anything after all.

Three cars, twelve people. The fat four drove the Hummer in front of the road, Shi Jian, Li Xin, Liu Rumei and I broke a pickup truck, and the pickup truck in the middle was driven by Zhang Kai to pull the other three. In this way, the three cars slowly drove out of the village and towards the depths of the jungle in the lonely mountain.

The road to Gushan is the road where the forest farm workers pull wood, and although it is only a gravel road, it is not smooth, but off-road vehicles and pickup trucks can pass through. Neither the fat man nor I drove up the mountain, but the fat man swore that he had inquired and that there was only one road here, and as long as he didn't fall into the ravine, he would never go wrong.

The vehicle was jolting on the rugged mountain road, and Shi Jian suddenly asked me, "Qin Fen, what is your relationship with Zhou Ju?" ”

I was a little puzzled, but I still briefly talked about the fact that Uncle Zhou used to come to my house to live in the past. After hearing this, Shi Jian breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "There are some things that are held in my heart, and it is uncomfortable not to say them. ”

Li Xin, who was driving the car, seemed to know what Shi Jian was going to say, and said loudly: "You just say a few words." ”

Shi Jian breathed a sigh of relief again and said, "It's okay, Qin Fen and Xiaoliu are their own people." ”
