Chapter 42: The Curator's Question

On the way back, Zheng Xiaoming and Director Liu sat in a car. Curator Liu asked if the three had entered the tomb.

When Zheng Xiaoming heard this, he hurriedly said: "Director Liu, after you left, I saw some movement in the tomb, so I encouraged Lao He and Lao Zhan to come to the entrance of the cave, but I didn't expect that as soon as I came to the entrance of the cave, I was sucked into it by a strong attraction." ”

Hearing this, Director Liu was full of doubts, pondered for a while, and said, "Powerful suction? Xiao Zheng, don't talk nonsense here! Who can believe such a thing? ”

Zheng Xiaoming thought, anyway, the nonsense has already begun, so let's continue to make it up, anyway, I drank the two of them just now, so he said: "What I said is the truth!" We were sucked in and slammed into the walls of the tomb, knocked unconscious, and when we woke up, we found that we had been swept out by the red water. ”

Director Liu shook his head in disbelief and said, "Let's not talk about this for now, first deal with your injuries, and deal with these things specifically." ”

The three of them shouted that they were hungry at this time, and the driver gave them some bread, ham and other snacks that he had brought with him in the car, so that the three of them would not faint from hunger.

The three of them have been hungry for so long, and eating this snack can only cushion their stomachs. Then on the way, they found another fast food restaurant, ordered two dishes, and ate some steamed rice, which was considered a package meal, and their physical strength was greatly recovered.

After a short time, the three were taken to the county hospital to treat their wounds.

Among the three, the most seriously injured was Zhan Kuo, because he was thin, so he usually called him "Zhan Monkey". He had injuries on his face and thighs, but fortunately they were all flesh wounds, and they did not hurt the bones inside, but after disinfecting and stitching up the wounds, they were fine. He sprained his right ankle, and after the doctor took a radiograph to diagnose it, it was not a major deal, but it was a ligament strain, and the doctor said that it would be fine to go home for maintenance for a while.

Lao He and Zheng Xiaoming both had some abrasions on their arms, legs, and faces, and the doctor said that it was nothing serious, and the skin would heal naturally in a few days, but they just smeared some anti-inflammatory drugs on them.

After treating the wounds, Curator Liu led them backwards. When they walked to the gate of the hospital, Director Teng of the museum called Director Liu and asked about the physical condition of the three people.

According to the doctor's diagnosis and treatment, Director Liu truthfully told the injuries of the three people on the phone, saying that the body was fine, and it was all flesh and skin injuries, so please rest assured.

Zheng Xiaoming and the three of them stood next to Director Liu, and when they heard the curator call to ask about their physical condition, they were very grateful for the leader's concern. However, they also know very well that the leader's handling of this matter will not be let go like this, and they must ask for the truth.

Zheng Xiaoming was very curious about the content of the leader's conversation and wanted to hear it more clearly, so he took a step forward and was much closer to Director Liu than just now.

As soon as Director Liu looked up and saw Zheng Xiaoming leaning towards him, he turned around and walked a few steps to the side of the hospital entrance, as if he deliberately did not let Zheng Xiaoming hear the content of the conversation behind.

Zheng Xiaoming's words, it was rude to listen to other people's calls, but now people don't want me to listen to them, so I still don't listen to them. Thinking of this, he took two more steps back.

After a while, Curator Liu came over and said, "It was Curator Teng's phone just now, he was very concerned about your physical condition and asked about your physical condition. I have told him the truth about your current physical condition. ”

When Zheng Xiaoming heard this, he was very happy, and the leader didn't get angry and criticize us on the phone.

When Zheng Xiaoming was happy, he suddenly heard Director Liu continue: "There is one more thing, Director Teng said that you should go home and rest today, and tomorrow the three of you will go to his office, and there are some things he wants to know more about." Now I'll send you home first. ”

When Zheng Xiaoming heard this, he thought to himself, it seems that this matter is still going to trouble us, let's talk about tomorrow tomorrow, that's okay, the three of us have gone around the death line, let's go home first and sleep well, rest for a night, and then deal with the leader's inquiry tomorrow. So he smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern!" ”

Director Liu said: "I'll find someone to send you home first, and after you go home, have a good rest!" Then he sent for the three to be sent home.

After Zheng Xiaoming was sent home, the old couple was startled when they saw Zheng Xiaoming's appearance, only to see that Zheng Xiaoming's clothes were torn, and his face was covered with wounds.

Zheng Xiaoming was afraid that his parents would be worried, so he quickly explained that he participated in the voluntary labor of the unit, and when he was cleaning the sewer, he accidentally injured himself. He knew that his parents had always opposed his participation in archaeological activities, so he rarely said anything about archaeology, and today he didn't say anything about getting into the ancient tomb.

The next morning, Zheng Xiaoming and the three came to Director Teng's office.

The office is not very large, with two filing cabinets and three bookcases against the west wall. Directly facing the door is Director Teng's desk, on which there are many books on historical documents. On the side of the desk is a couch and a vintage coffee table. In the corner, there is also a pair of small sofas with a few pots of flowers in front of it.

Zheng Xiaoming sat on the small sofa in the corner, and Lao He and Zhan Kuo sat on the big sofa. Zheng Xiaoming found that there was a cane next to Lao Zhan today, and he knew that Lao Zhan came on crutches.

Director Teng looked at the three of them and said, "I don't feel good now!" ”

Zheng Xiaoming hurriedly said: "It's nothing! After a night's sleep, I feel in good spirits! ”

Lao He and Zhan Kuo smiled and said together: "It's not bad!" Not bad! ”

Director Teng waited for a while, frowned, and said, "Yesterday, Director Liu had already told me some of the situation. Now let's talk about it! Tell me how you got out of such a tomb and were swept out of the red water. ”

Lao He raised his head and just wanted to speak, Zheng Xiaoming hurriedly grabbed the conversation and said, "Curator, all the situations that occurred this time were caused by me. He thought that this time something so big had happened, and almost cost the lives of the two old fellows, it was all caused by his own youthful curiosity, and I had encouraged them to enter the tomb, and I had to take all the responsibility.

Director Teng listened, waited for a while, and said, "You said that the responsibility lies with you, you tell me, what's going on?" ”

Zheng Xiaoming pondered, the three of us had already said what to say yesterday, so let's continue to say it according to that statement, thinking of this, he said: "When Director Liu came back, let's not go into the tomb, I was very curious, and encouraged Lao He and Lao Zhan to go to the tomb ** to see, we didn't plan to go in, we just wanted to see in the tomb **." Unexpectedly, a suction force sucked the three of us in at once, and then we all fainted, and when we woke up, we let a stream of red water rush out, and then Director Liu and they found us. ”

After listening to this, Director Teng was stunned for a moment and asked, "Director Liu told me about these things yesterday, so there is nothing else to say?" It's not going to be that simple, is it? ”
