Background: The story of this book takes place sometime in ancient times, and the characters, content, and plot are all fictional (so don't dwell on some irrelevant questions). At that time, the society was stable, and it was the so-called "antiques in prosperous times, gold in troubled times", so Jinshi Science developed a relatively mature system. Although the study of gold and stone inscriptions is mainly based on bronzes and stone inscriptions, and focuses on bibliographies and research texts, among its branches, there is a special field science of gold and stone, which is good at excavating underground antiquities, which provides first-hand research materials for the gold and stone experts at that time. The results of the excavation of gold and stone in various fields are all attributed to the government and the collection hall, and the one who chooses the upper one is paid tribute at the age of the year, and the famous gold and stone masters at that time are mostly celebrities, so the knowledge has always been supported by them, and it is deservedly protected, and it is different from the tomb robbery business.

Here's where the story begins:

"Wake up, wake up, I'll slap you if you don't get up again."

I opened my sleepy eyes slightly, and saw a slap in the face coming to me, and a spirit woke up and immediately shrank his neck. Fortunately, the hand was also very familiar and stopped just right.

"What's the matter with you, you can sleep so well these days, didn't you get up early before?" The big waist standing at the head of the bed looked at me with the expression of looking at his grandson: "They all set off, you haven't gotten up for breakfast yet, Teacher Shen asked me to come over and see if you are dead." ”

"you, I'm alive and well." I let out a huge yawn, sat up, and took a deep breath.

Big Waist handed over a steamed bun: "If you yawn a little bigger, the roof will be blown off by you." Let's go, Uncle Zhou, if you don't set off again, you won't be able to catch up with work. ”

I took his steamed buns with my left hand, put on my clothes with my right hand, picked up water and wiped my face, and then went out with him, got on a cart and went to the construction site.

My name is Zhou Hua, I am studying Jinshi in a university hall in the north, this year is the third year, and I am following the teacher to carry out the field Jinshi internship, and Mr. Shen is the teacher sent by our school to lead the team. Big Waist is a good friend of mine, formerly known as Gao Xin, who has a standard pig waist face, hence the nickname, but this does not affect him from hooking up with female classmates. And my nickname Uncle Zhou was also given by this guy.

"Hey, I mean, you kid, have you been sick lately?" The big waist man who was pushing the cart asked me.

I took a bite of the steamed bun and choked: "No, it's just that I've been having nightmares lately." ”

"Nightmare? Shouldn't the young man have a dream of spring, what a nightmare? ”

"Lao Tzu is serious, and for several days, I have dreamed of a woman..."

"I'll just say it's a spring dream!"

"Don't talk nonsense, don't joke with you, this woman has appeared in my dreams for several days, but I can't see clearly when I stand far away, I can't see my clothes and face clearly, I only know that it's a woman."

"I can't see clearly, you still know it's a woman, I think you just think too much about women."

"Bah, you think I'm like you, and it's like I'm going to die if I don't see your lady all night."

"Don't be kind to be a donkey's liver and lungs, Lao Tzu didn't even carry my daughter-in-law in the morning, just waiting to push you stinky old man, don't be content."

"Yes, thank you." After saying that, I continued to nibble on the half of the steamed bun.

It didn't take long for us to arrive at the excavation site of the field epigraphy.

The construction site, that is, there may be some antiquities underground, and we either help the school or the government yamen to get them out, and then do some research for others.

Before Mr. Shen came, he said that the location of the construction site this time was good, not very remote, just in the south of a village by the forest. But in fact, this "good" may be compared to the gold and stone construction site where he used to stay, and we seem to be like that, it takes an hour to go to the nearby town by horse-drawn carriage, and it can't be compared with life in the town.

"Zhou Hua! You're still alive! "Teacher Shen saw me arrive and taunted loudly.

This old man is not serious, and his words amused the female classmates and the migrant workers who came to work.

"Back to my lord, I'm not dead!"

"If you don't die, hurry up and get to work! If I had been fired by the foreman. ”

I jumped out of the cart and walked over to my scout with my guy in my hand. Each of our students divided into four 5*5 exploration squares, which is 100 square meters. If there is someone who is in the prime of life, such as a big waist, he will help his girlfriend do it too, that is, he will contract 200 square meters by himself.

His girlfriend, it's not me who said, I don't know if I'm squeamish, or if I'm used to having a big waist, I just don't work when I sit on the edge of the probe every day and watch.

But for the sake of love, men always have to be a little harder and tired, and the big waist is really conscientious and conscientious as a model worker.

Summers here are still quite hot, not as humid as in my hometown of the south, but they are also very uncomfortable, and it doesn't take long for the sun to shine. I get along well with the four migrant workers who help me work, and I don't usually have to bring my own water to drink, and they give me a cup after drinking.

I took a shovel and scraped the noodles in a square for a while, and when it was time to rest in the morning, I ran into the awning of the old Zhu frame, a migrant worker in Fangli, spread a cloth sack and sat down.

After a while, Lao Zhu also came over and sat down with a smile and asked me: "Xiaohua, why are you late lately, we all guess that you can't sleep well at night when you talk about your little daughter-in-law." ”

I thought to myself, why are the elderly gossiping so much now? I wanted to prevaricate casually, but I think that Lao Zhu is not a living person, and the average elderly person is also well-informed, so it is not a big secret to think about it, forget it, I will tell you the truth.

Lao Zhu listened, and the face that was originally smiling changed color, and he asked in a low voice: "When did you start dreaming, did you come out of the coffin?" ”

I thought about it carefully, and it was true, four days ago, there was a tomb in the strata of recent years in my exploration, although the coffin was mostly rotten, but there were still a lot of human bones, especially the skull, vertebrae and ribs were well preserved, although the shape was a little different from the normal one.

A silver hairpin with carved gilt was pressed under the skull, so the owner of the tomb must have been a woman who loved beauty. All of these things were recovered by me using the normal excavation process.

But when you think about it this way, does it really matter? No way.

Lao Zhu asked again: "Where did you put the bones?" ”

"Under the bed."

Lao Zhu almost didn't stand up when he heard this, "You are so bold, such a heavy thing, if it weren't for the fact that the people in our village wouldn't touch it at all if it wasn't for making money, you actually put it under the bed?" ”

I was speechless, not knowing how to answer his question.

He calmed down a little: "Son, listen to me, go back and find a place to bury it." ”

I snorted, changed the subject, and talked to Lao Zhu about something else, but I thought about his words repeatedly in my head.

I'm not one of those people who believe in weird things, but it's really hard for me to be tormented by nightmares these few nights. However, there are principles in field gold and stone science, and the unearthed objects are not even allowed to be thrown around, and the human bones are buried wherever they are buried, and they are generally taken away for physical anthropological research. However, there were not many warehouses in the station, and the human bones were brittle, so they were all crushed after two days of tossing in the warehouse.

A morning passed quickly, and on the way back to the station for lunch break, I still thought about Lao Zhu's words and pondered countermeasures in my heart. After lunch, I went back to the dormitory, which was a quadruple room, with four beds, and other things stacked elsewhere. I was the first to come back after eating because of my poor appetite. When I saw the four beds, I had an idea, if it was really a problem to put the bones under the bed, then... I'm sorry.

Sure enough, in the middle of the night, I was pulled up by the big waist, but this time he was a little cowardly. First of all, I have to make it clear that he has always been a person who is not afraid of those things, and he has behaved like this in all aspects from the time we arrived at the school to the present.

But tonight he pulled me out of the dormitory and said, "Oh no, I also dreamed of the dream you told me this morning." ”

"Then you're not going to wake me up, are you?"

"No, it's too real, and the girl keeps calling your name."

"What's that?" I almost didn't scream, but sanity prevented me from disturbing the rest of the people from sleeping. I told him what Lao Zhu had said yesterday, and told him the fact that I had put my bones under his bed.

He was visibly annoyed when he heard this: "Why the didn't you tell me in advance?" ”

"Don't be angry, I told you that you have this in your heart, and the dream can't prove that she is doing it, and besides, I have been dreaming for four or five days, and there is no danger, don't be afraid."

"Yes," Da Waist calmed down a little after hearing this, but he suddenly glared, obviously nervous: "No, that means this thing can really be a demon?" ”

"Maybe that's the case," I was also a little nervous, and after all, I cleaned it up, and if she wanted to kill someone, she would be the first to find me, so I then said to him: "I also told Lao Zhu today, and he asked me to bury her." ”

"Then what are you waiting for, bury it according to what Lao Zhu said."

"I want to too, but how do you explain the loss of such a pile of human bones when you go back and do this?"

"Explain a fart," the big waist pulled me to get the bones: "Pretend not to know when the time comes, it's a big deal to be criticized by Lao Shen, you are not afraid of death if you keep this thing?" ”

"Done. But don't you believe in these things? "I saw that he was in such a hurry, and I actually felt a sense of joy.

"Lao Tzu is afraid that something will happen to you," the big waist looked serious, "She called you in my dreams, think for yourself." ”

I also have a chill behind it. "Okay, without further ado, let's go."

I went under his bed to dig out the bag of bones, and he went to the yard to find two shovels, and at this time the thin bamboo poles in the dormitory were also woken up. The thin bamboo pole is called Fan Zhiyong, the name is hard, the person is thin, he usually has no strength to work, and he does not sleep very solidly, according to him, he often wakes up in the middle of the night.

When he saw that I was going out, he whispered to me what was the matter, and I took him outside with a bag and briefly talked to him, and he said to go with him. In this way, there is a Luo Gang who is still asleep in the dormitory, nicknamed Gang Mule, with a wide heart and a fat body, and he sleeps the hardest, so we didn't call him.

So they carried shovels, and I carried half a sack of human bones, and walked out of the yard of the station, and the rhubarb, who was keeping the guard at the door, saw that we just wagged our tails, and without making a sound, they retracted into the nest with their tails between them. This is a bit abnormal, this dog is usually lively, but at this moment, it seems that he is scared.

We went out of the gate and looked at the sky, and it was estimated that it was almost twelve o'clock in the middle of the night.
