Lan Ling trembled with fright, looked at Sister Ma, and saw that her face was solemn, as if she had seen something terrifying. His expressions froze. Still with a knife in his hand.

After a while, she looked out of the door, and then lowered her voice and said, "That widow's cave was a village a long time ago, and in the early years, there was a serious drought and flood, and there were landslides, and the people in that village moved here. ”

"What? A village? Lan Ling turned his head to look at her, saw her nodding, and talked to her about it while he was busy. She sat on a small stool with a fan and listened carefully to Sister Ma's story.

"Yes! That was a long time ago, and my mother's family was in a village not far from the widow's village, which was originally very small and did not have many families. I got married seven years ago......" she said, pausing.

Lan Ling saw that she seemed to mention her sadness, and she was a little unspeakable. She looked at the clothes hanging in front of their house, and there were only two old men and children, and the woman's, her own, and not her husband's. When I first entered the house, I thought this was her mother's house!

She was embarrassed to ask, just waiting for her to continue.

Sister Ma let out a long sigh, "Hey! My husband died not long after we got married...... I hadn't been pregnant for a long time......"

Lan Ling listened in surprise and asked softly, "How did he die?" ”

Seeing Sister Ma looking out the window, she paused, but she didn't cry or anything like that, so she lowered her head and served the noodles bowl by bowl with a soup spoon.

She said while fishing: "Not long after we got married, the family needed money, so he went to the mine to help others mine, but ......."

Lan Ling listened, saw her frowning and blinking, paused and didn't speak, I don't know if she was smoked by the boiling water mist, or she was sad.

She helped to carefully carry it over and placed it on the edge of the stove.

I thought: What does this have to do with that widow's hole?

But I saw Sister Ma suddenly turn around and whispered: "That widow's cave, it used to be called a widow's village, why is it called a widow's village, do you know?" ”

Lan Lingxin said: How do I know? Could it be that there are many widows/women in the village?

"When I was a child, I heard from the old people in the village that in that widow/women's village, because of the war, the strong men were all arrested and sent to serve as soldiers, and only the old people and children were left in the village, and the women were all farming and working at home to support their families. Later, because of the defeat, there were not many men who came back, and there were many widows and women in the village. ”

"What's going on with the widow's hole?" Lan Ling gets straight to the point.

"There used to be a custom that a married woman could not be buried with her husband. Not to mention that their husbands are all dead outside, and even their bones cannot be found. Later, the old people there invited a feng shui man to choose a burial place for the dead widow in the village. Sister Ma said, sat down directly with a stool, and continued with her.

"In the past, people believed in feng shui, and they couldn't be buried indiscriminately. It's not good to throw it in the mountains, so I can find a place for them to bury them, so that they can accumulate blessings for their descendants. The feng shui gentleman found a hole under the manzi slope, saying that the feng shui there was very good, suitable for burying dead women...... Especially widows! ”

"Barbarian slope? Not the name of the village? ”

"You think it's a little steep slope! Manzi Slope is a large loess high slope formation, in the past when leading troops to fight, no one dared to climb over that slope, said that it is a slope, in fact, it is a mountain. That's why our village is called Manzipo. ”

"Oh......" Lan Ling nodded knowingly, only to blame for drinking too much last night, and he didn't have time to check the information at all. But now that I have asked clearly, I finally don't hear it anymore.

Sister Ma just nodded when she saw her, and she was not in a hurry to ask them to eat noodles, and continued to tell her: "In that widow's cave, all the widows/women who died of old age and illness were buried. Later, all of them died of illness, and they were directly wrapped in a shroud, and let the bold man carry them directly in. There's ...... It's very evil! ”

"What's so evil?" After she finished asking, she regretted that she blurted out too quickly, and when she saw Sister Ma's face was solemn again, she said in her heart: Could it be that she went there to attract unclean things before?

I saw Sister Ma stand up, and said with a long sigh: "At that time, we hadn't moved yet, and our family was not far from the widow's village. At that time, the teenage girl was ignorant and helped the family find the lost sheep...... I didn't know that the place was the widow's cave, there was nothing there, and the grass didn't grow. I almost fell into the dirt pit, I screamed in fear, but it wasn't deep! It's broad daylight. I saw dead man's bones......"

Sister Ma said, her face changed.

"It's very ...... there" Before he finished speaking, a person suddenly came in, and he was so frightened that the soup spoon in Sister Ma's hand fell into the pot. As soon as the boiling/hot soup splashed on Lan Ling's body, she reflexively reached out to block her face and moved back.

That's hot! She quickly got up and went to rinse cold water.

"Oops! Big sister, you're all right! Sister Ma hurriedly helped her rinse her arms with a scoop of water.

"Why don't you fucking squeak when you come in!" Lan Ling turned his head to look at Xiao Chen who was standing at the door, and he couldn't help but burst into foul mouths in pain.

"......" Xiao Chen was stunned at the door, and was suddenly scolded by her, feeling uncomfortable, and said aggrievedly: "I ...... Isn't it loud when I walk! I was going to talk, but who knew you were talking so intently, and it wasn't me who threw the spoon into the pot. ”

When Sister Ma heard this, she apologized to Lan Ling embarrassedly, "This ...... It's all my fault.,This hand is not steady.,I'm really sorry, big girl.。 ”

"It's okay...... Lan Ling felt that the pain still hadn't eased much, and his skin was red and tingling, "Is there a burn cream?" ”

"Oooh oh...... But I don't have any burn cream at home, there is aloe vera at the door, I'll get you some, and then I can almost have tea oil at night. ”

Lan Ling didn't know if it was useless, so she went out with Sister Ma, looked at Xiao Chen, who was so aggrieved that she wanted to cry, and said in her heart: The old lady didn't cry, you are a big man and you are still wronged.

"It's okay, you go eat noodles quickly! Called Lao Wang, they also hurried to eat. I'm going to get some aloe vera first. After Lan Ling finished speaking, she followed Sister Ma out, and the sun was shining, and the skin that was directly burned on her arm became more obvious. She had to stand under the eaves and wait.

"What's wrong?" Lao Wang came out to see that her arm was red, "Hey, be careful in the future!" This isn't in the hole yet! It's important to take care of your body. ”

"Oh, got it." Lan Ling was uncomfortable to listen to, although it was the truth, but the people who had walked through the desert and Gobi were not as delicate as they imagined. It's just that this time it's hot and painful, but fortunately it's not hot oil.

She blew it herself, and when she saw Sister Ma coming over, she peeled it off and put it directly on her arm.

The cool feeling was a lot more comfortable, and she pressed it with her own hand. I saw that Sister Ma also helped herself apply some other places on her hands.

"Uh...... You're not allergic to aloe vera, are you? Sister Ma suddenly thought of it and asked.

"......" Lan Ling looked at her and said in her heart: Probably not! This is the first time I have used ??

Early the next morning, they packed up and set out. Along the way, some villagers saw that they all gathered around to see, Lan Ling walked all the way, and heard a few people whispering: "Hey, hey...... There was a woman! That woman is so good-looking! He has a nose and eyes, and he is so tall that he has a really good figure. Hey, do you say it's half-blooded? Ay...... It's a pity! ”

As soon as the man finished speaking, Lan Ling glanced back at the man, only to see that he quickly shut up.

Lan Lingxin said: Who doesn't have a nose and no eyes?!

When she heard someone say that she was beautiful, she was still happier in her heart. But as soon as I heard the last sentence, I immediately felt unhappy.

The heart said, "I don't believe it, but when I enter the widow's hole, I really become a widow?"

She sneered, it's a big deal to be single for the rest of her life! Anyway, I'm 27 years old, and it's important to do a good job in my career!

They followed the archaeological excavation staff all the way to the real barbarian slope. When they saw this so-called barbarian slope, they were dumbfounded.

I saw a large loess slope in front of me, winding and long, like a golden python horizontal bar here.

"Oh my God! Where is this slope! cough ......" When Xiao Chen opened his mouth wide and sighed, suddenly a gust of wind and sand blew into his mouth.

It's just before eight o'clock in the morning, and it's already sunburned.

Lan Ling put on his hat and mask, looked at the ground, and walked to the crowded place in front of him, where the mud and sand had been fixed in some places.

She stepped on it, squinted her eyes and looked up, and said to the people below: "You have to be careful, the geological structure here is different from other places, the yellow mud is loose, and it is easy to form a large area of collapse. The soil formed by the accumulation of water is compacted and not strong. Don't step on the empty drum and walk to look at the point. ”

The crowd below looked at the woman standing tall, who was covered at this time, but she could still hear what she was saying. In particular, the serious posture is very charming to look at.

"Be careful, everyone! Mountains here are prone to collapse, and mudslides can occur when it rains. It was because of the previous rain that more than half of it collapsed, revealing this hole, that someone discovered this direction. That's the entrance to the widow's cave. Lao Wang stretched out his hand and pointed high.

A few people from the restoration team below were strange, "Hole? So small! "They stood down and watched, and it didn't feel like a cave at all, it looked like an earthen kiln.

"If it weren't for the archaeological staff to clear the dirt out of a way, we wouldn't have been able to see it at all, and we would have had to get into it." Lao Wang beckoned to them, "Don't keep up yet." A girl in Xiaolan is faster than you. ”

One by one, they lowered their heads and lifted things, and carefully followed Lao Wang step by step.

Lan Ling walked to the entrance of the cave, where several staff members were still cleaning up the dirt, and she nodded to them as a greeting. Before entering, she looked at the entrance of the cave, and heard only the words of the person next to her, "Watch out, girl, the bones in it pierce." ”

She turned her head and saw a shirtless young man beside her, with a slick head, tanned skin, and strong muscles, holding a shovel. She thought it was a nearby villager.

She had to look at the top of his head, and saw that he was not very tall, definitely no more than 1.75 meters. Because she herself has 1.68 meters, standing on the slope is a head taller than him.

She nodded, not speaking, but saw the man smiling at her. She immediately frowned, only to see the man's eyes glazed over.

Seeing Lao Wang and them coming up, she didn't say anything, took out her shoe covers, bowed her head and bent down to put on the shoe covers. Bending down and raising his feet, he entered the cave first.

As soon as she entered, she smelled a foul odor, and she looked at the scattered skeletons on the ground next to her. It's all human skulls, scattered all over the place, all of them, and the scene looks horrible. Archaeologists are gradually cleaning up.

She didn't bother them, but went inside a little, and found the dark wall in front of her, and when she looked in, she found that it was covered with something like mud.

She immediately put on her gloves and anxiously walked to the wall to check. I saw a large wall, all covered with yellow mud, which had been old for a long time, and many of them had fallen off, revealing the murals inside.

She cursed, reached out and gently touched the wall, and found that it was indeed a stone wall.

Hearing Lao Wang and the others coming, she didn't turn on the flashlight. Tell Xiao Chen to install the special lighting for the restoration of the mural.

This is a kind of microradiation, low temperature cold light source illumination. The impact on the mural is relatively small. Because the older the mural, the more fragile it tends to be, and they are afraid of the heat and ultraviolet rays brought by the light.

She wanted to see the extent of the damage to the large mural.

Xiao Chen is a little taboo about Lan Ling now, because in addition to being parachuted into their house, now except for Lao Wang, she has the right to speak. He had no choice but to obey orders and obey commands.

Lao Wang also walked to the mural and looked at it, and couldn't help but be speechless, frowning, "How did it become so serious." ”

"Looks like a big project!" Xiao Chen on the side installed the lamp, and he could see much more clearly before the mural.

Lan Ling frowned and looked at it, seeing that the place where the mud had fallen off had become mildew.

She immediately turned her head to look into the darker part of the interior and walked over. I see that there is no one inside, but in fact, it is still very long inside, this is a stone cave? Is there a cave in the whole mountain?

She walked over, turned on the small flashlight she had with her, and stood at the entrance of the cave, but she didn't feel the wind. She frowned deeply, and said in her heart: Is she thinking too much? If there was an extension/entry place, it wouldn't be so smelly, and people in the past wouldn't have just thrown corpses here.

She turned her head and saw a man coming in behind her, and it was the shirtless man, but now he was dressed. They wore the overalls of their archaeologists.

"There are no more murals in it." Qin Hu looked at the woman in front of him and said.
