The next morning, as soon as Ding Xiaolan came to the office, a fragrance of flowers came to her nose, she opened her eyes to look at the fragrance and found a bouquet of roses on her desk.

"How's that, do you like it?" Qi Lu came out of the inner room and asked her with a smile.

"You sent me flowers?" Being stared at by Qi Lu was a little at a loss, Ding Xiaolan suddenly felt a little nervous.

"Hmm." Seeing Ding Xiaolan's somewhat surprised look, a smile slipped through the depths of his dark eyes, and he continued: "Not only to send flowers, I have a better gift for you." ”

"And?"

Qi Lu snapped his fingers with a grin, and there was an extra beautifully packaged gift box in his hand like magic.

"What is this?"

"Chocolate, aren't flowers and chocolate the favorite things of girls?"

"Why are you giving me these things?" By smelling the fragrance of roses, Ding Xiaolan staggered Qi Lu's gaze, her face flushed slightly, and she remembered that the last time a boy gave the same gift was when she was in college.

It's not going to be a confession to me, is it? This thought that suddenly popped up in his mind made Ding Xiaolan's heart suddenly panic.

Qi Lu noticed the blush on Ding Xiaolan's face, and couldn't help but smile a little and said, "Don't be nervous, it's just a gift." ”

"I'm not nervous, there's a flower in it, and the petals are all broken!" Isn't it just a gift, why should you be nervous? The more Ding Xiaolan disguised it, the faster she felt her heart beating.

"Ah, I didn't notice when I bought it." Qi Lu was a little embarrassed, but he then smiled and said, "Don't worry, if you're not satisfied, there will be a gift for you." ”

"Ah, and gifts?" Ding Xiaolan was even more surprised. "What's wrong with you today?"

Qi Lu's dedication made Ding Xiaolan feel at a loss, she would rather get used to the ordinary little boss who was not serious all day long.

Qi Lu snapped his fingers again, and Lao Wu came out of the inner room, carrying a large bag of things in his hand, and handed it to Ding Xiaolan.

Ding Xiaolan hesitated to open the bag and saw that it was full of her favorite snacks.

She came to her senses in shock, smiled reluctantly, and asked, "Why are you so polite, is there something to hide from me, and I feel guilty so I remembered to give me a gift?" ”

"No, no!" Qi Lu hurriedly denied it and glanced at Lao Wu.

Lao Wu said with a smile on his face: "Xiao Ding, there is actually something I want to trouble you." ”

"You won't think I'm a burden again, and you want to dump me in the next move, right?"

"Of course not, how could we do such an immoral thing." Lao Wu was silent for a moment, and then told Ding Xiaolan what happened.

It turned out that after discussing with Lao Wu last night, they felt that Yanshi was hiding in the shadows and making some ghosts from time to time, and it was not a way for everyone to be tired of coping, so they decided to gather together before getting rid of this bane, just in case something happened and they couldn't take care of each other.

"Well, that's a good idea." Ding Xiaolan didn't want to go home and sleep by herself, and the Yanshi would harass her.

Qi Lu saw that Ding Xiaolan had no objection and said: "So I want the professor to live in your house before the end of the archaeological activities, and in addition, Lao Wu and I also work two shifts, and we also live in your house after work every day." ”

"You're kidding!" Ding Xiaolan exclaimed, suddenly there were two more men in the family, how could she accept it.

Qi Lu hurriedly explained: "On the one hand, it is to protect the professor, and on the other hand, it is also to protect you." ”

Ding Xiaolan said angrily: "Why don't you arrange for the professor to live in a hotel?" Besides, wouldn't it be nice that he used to live in a dormitory in a museum? ”

"The professor has been kidnapped by the Yanshi once, and there are only a few security guards in the museum at night, how can they withstand the Yanshi's attack? Besides, the professor is old and in poor health, and you can still take care of him. ”

Lao Wu also said with a sneer: "The cost of staying in a hotel is too big, and we are not traveling at public expense, so we can save a little." I told Xiao Qi that during the time when the professor lived in your house, you would get double your salary every month. ”

"No way!" Ding Xiaolan felt that she was going to vomit blood by them.

"I said Xiaoding, think about it, come, eat some snacks first to suppress the shock." Lao Wu took out the snacks from the bag and handed them to her, and continued to persuade her: "Your house is so big, it's not too many people to live in seven or eight people." What's more, Master Chen hasn't come back either, isn't it good for you to have a companion? ”

"This snack is so sweet, don't you know I'm losing weight?" Ding Xiaolan yelled at Lao Wu, turned around and walked out.

Qi Lu saw that the situation was not good, and just wanted to step forward to grab her, he saw Ding Xiaolan turn around and yell at herself: "What kind of rotten gifts are you giving, do you know what roses represent!" ”

"I" Qi Lu realized that he was in big trouble, and his face turned red.

"Stinky Qi Road, Dead Qi Road, Bad Qi Road" Ding Xiaolan scolded in her heart and walked out, feeling that she was stupid to the extreme, and thought that Qi Lu was a surprise for herself, who knew that things were like this.

"What bad idea did you have, did you mess it up?" Qi Lu complained about Lao Wulai.

"Since she doesn't like these things, why don't we return them?" Lao Wu hesitated and said, "But the flowers can't be returned."

"You're such a money junkie!" Qi Lu sat on the chair and smoked a smoky cigarette.

Lao Wu was packing up those gifts, Ding Xiaolan turned around and came back, she snatched those gifts from Lao Wu and said, "Who said I don't want it!" ”

"Hehe, Xiao Ding is sensible, what a pity these things are wasted." Lao Wu responded with a smile.

"I threw it away and fed it to the dogs, and I won't let you return it!"

"Hey, how can you do that." Looking at Ding Xiaolan's unprovoked appearance, Lao Wu had no choice but to sit beside Qi Lu and muttered in a low voice: "Why are girls like this, they will turn their faces when they say it." ”

Qi Lu didn't have much to do, but the matter needed to be solved eventually, so he had to be cheeky and say to Ding Xiaolan: "Beauty, I hope you will seriously consider our suggestion, the professor is really dangerous now!" ”

Ding Xiaolan's face was crimson, she didn't speak, she just stared at the pile of gifts in her hand quietly, as if she wanted to see the essence inside through them. Slowly, her pretty face returned to its normal color and said, "Okay, I agree." However, you will be reimbursed for food, drink and accommodation. ”

"Okay, no problem." Seeing that Ding Xiaolan agreed, Qi Lu also put down a stone in his heart.

Ding Xiaolan packed up the pile of gifts, put the small bag on her shoulder and walked out.

"Hey, you're not going to work?" Qi Lu thought she was angry again.

"I'll go back and clean up my room first!"

"Xiao Ding is really a good girl, she is a knife-mouthed tofu heart. It's too fierce, I'm afraid I won't be able to get married. Looking at Ding Xiaolan's back disappearing at the door, Lao Wu sighed with emotion.

"What are you still doing in a daze, why don't you go to her house to help." Qi Lu glared at him.

"Okay, okay, I'll go!" Lao Wu followed Ding Xiaolan like a gust of wind.

Qi Lu was not idle, he closed the company's iron gate and went to find Jiang Wenhao.

got out of the car at the entrance of the museum, and Qi Lu saw Jiang Wenhao walking slowly towards him from the side of the street. It turned out that the archaeological work had reached the final stage, and it was rare to have some leisure time, so the professor went outside for a walk.

Qi Lu hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, and then told the professor about it.

"Oh, how can this work, I can't trouble Xiaoding." After hearing this, Jiang Wenhao hurriedly shook his head and refused.

"Professor, now is not the time to be polite!" Qi Lu said with a stern expression: "Yanshi has already attacked you, if he does the same thing again, he won't be as polite as last time!" ”

"I'm afraid I'll affect Xiaoding"

"If you don't live in her house, it's a burden to her! In that case, the three of us will have to take turns at the museum and the tomb site every day to protect you! ”

"This"

"Professor, don't hesitate, Team Liu already told me yesterday that the police smashed the criminal group of Jin Sanye who resold cultural relics according to the clues we provided. Yan Shi was wearing the skin of Jin Sanye to carry out his ulterior purposes, and Team Liu's action must have angered him, and maybe he was about to carry out a conspiracy. ”

Jiang Wenhao realized the seriousness of the problem at this time, and he nodded and agreed to Qi Lu's request. At the same time, he also told Qi Lu about his recent research results: "When the coffin was opened yesterday, I found a lot of oracle bone inscriptions on the inner plate of the coffin, which contained the content of Yanshi, you and I went to the office to have a look." ”

"Okay."

The two came to the professor's office, and as soon as they pushed the door in, they saw Director Li sitting inside, his face seemed a little unnatural.

"Lao Li, is there something wrong?"

"Tomorrow morning, there will be a special seminar on the ancient tombs of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and the State Administration of Cultural Heritage will also send someone to participate in the seminar, and the professor will prepare a lecture script."

"Okay, no problem."

"You guys are busy, I won't bother." Curator Li left in a hurry after speaking.

Qi Lu's nose couldn't help but move, and he looked at Director Li's back a little stunned.

Jiang Wenhao took out the photos in the information bag and said, "Xiao Qi, come and take a look at these oracle bone characters." ”

"Professor, don't embarrass me, just translate it to me." Qi Lu came back to his senses at this time.

"Okay, you see these words are about Yanshi." Jiang Wenhao read: "The king's mouth said, Changsheng mouth." Yankou, Shikou Cow"

"The professor is not right, it seems that some words are missing." Qi Lu frowned.

"Yes, that's what the text on the inside of the coffin is about."

"Could it be that these mutilated words have fallen off because of age?"

"No, the coffin is very well preserved, and there is no such thing as you said." Jiang Wenhao handed over those photos to Qi Lu.

Qi Lu looked at the photos carefully, and found that the place where the text was vacant was a blank, as if the person who engraved the words had deliberately omitted them.

Jiang Wenhao said: "After the meeting tomorrow, I will go to check the main coffin, maybe the person who engraved the words for some purpose engraved these words in the other parts of the coffin." ”

Qi Lu suddenly said: "These beast patterns, I seem to have seen them somewhere."

He was talking about the animal patterns on the edge of the text, Jiang Wenhao's eyes lit up, and he put all the photos on the table and lined them up to look at them, and found that these animal patterns appeared in various corners of the inner coffin board in a disorderly manner, which seemed to have some kind of relationship with the words depicted.

"I remember." Jiang Wenhao smiled and said: "These animal patterns are gluttonous patterns, judging from the way of texture and carving style, it is the work of the same person as the gluttonous pattern on the back of the ancient mirror cast by Yanshi." ”

"You mean the bronze mirror with the red agate missing?" Qi Lu was thoughtful.

"Let's go, let's go and study that ancient mirror together." Jiang Wenhao was interested.

"Professor, it's not too early." Qi Lu looked at the table below and said, "Let's study it tomorrow, I will take you to Ding Xiaolan's house today, you always have to pack up a change of clothes to get familiar with the new environment." ”

"Well, it's almost time to get off work, and I'll be busy tomorrow." Jiang Wenhao smiled and said to Qi Lu: "Wait a minute, you accompany me to buy some gifts first, since you want to disturb Xiaoding, I can't go empty-handed." ”

Before leaving, Qi Lu casually asked the professor: "Don't you usually lock the door of your office?" ”

"Of course, you have to lock the door after work, otherwise I will lose a lot when the thief comes."

"Do you lock the door when you go out during work hours?"

"That's not exactly. It depends, but people are old and confused, and sometimes they forget to lock the door. ”

Qi Lu asked: "Did you go out for a walk today and lock the door?" ”

"This" Jiang Wenhao was stunned for a moment, and then laughed embarrassedly: "I really can't remember whether the lock is locked or not." ”

Hearing this, Qi Lu suddenly had a shallow smile on his lips, and it disappeared in an instant.
