Chapter 2: The Mysterious Woman
The woman who turned on the light also looked at Zong Yu, and her eyes suddenly had a hint of weirdness, maybe it was weird, or something else, in short, her eyes were weird and seemed to be surprised: "Who are you?" The woman took two steps closer to Jongwoo with the muzzle of her gun down.
Zong Yu hurriedly introduced himself: "My name is Zong Yu, and I am a sophomore at Yuma University. β
"Why are you here?" The woman looked at the little horn again, turned her head and continued to ask Zong Yu.
Zong Yu was about to explain, but the little horn hurriedly said: "Heroine spare your life, we are members of the archaeological team that followed Professor Xu." β
"Yes, yes, Professor Xu is the old man you knocked unconscious in the morning." Zong Yu was busy, he actually wanted to test whether Professor Xu was attacked by these women.
The woman was a little puzzled: "In the morning? Our old man knocked unconscious? She looked at the other two again: "It's not us, we just arrived not long ago, and you have recognized the wrong person." β
"So it's not you?" Zong Yu doesn't know the details of these women now, and he has a plan, in this case, why don't I fool them and make them think that there are others here, so that maybe they have some scruples.
The woman really hit the plan, she looked at the other two, the woman behind Zong Yu seemed to understand something, and suddenly ran away quickly, I don't know where she went.
Zong Yu didn't have the gun behind him, but he was much more relaxed: "This... Friend, may I ask again, who are you? β
"You don't need to know this just yet." The woman in front of her paused, and then said inexplicably: "Professor Zong." β
Zong Yu was stunned: "Professor, you are too exalted to me, I am still a student." β
The woman didn't explain: "Anyway, don't be afraid, we won't hurt you, let's wait until our captain comes." After speaking, she nodded, and the one behind the little horn also took a few steps back, and the little horn hurriedly walked to Zong Yu's side: "Zong Yu, I'm confused, will they be from some kind of gang?" β
"What gang is all women?" Zong Yu said in a low voice: "But since everyone has said that they won't hurt us, then believe her, anyway, it's not good for her to lie to us." β
"That's just as well." The little horn looked down at the woman in front of him from time to time, and a few words suddenly popped out of his mouth: "It's so good-lookingγγγγγγ β
"When is it?" Zong Yu counted him, and he couldn't help but secretly look at the women in front of him, he didn't look at the appearance of these women carefully because he was nervous, not to mention, he couldn't help but sigh when he looked at it: "It's good-looking." β
I saw that although the woman in front of me was wearing a uniform and a steel helmet, she looked at the face, her skin was very white, and she didn't know if it was because of the passage lights.
"What are you looking at?" The woman actually had a hint of crimson on her face, and moved the gun in her hand, but she didn't point it at Zong Yu.
Zong Yu hurriedly lowered his head, but he was not so scared in his heart, he muttered: "It's very good-looking, I'm not wrong... β
The woman behind her suddenly laughed softly, and then there was a burst of brisk and hurried footsteps, and the woman behind her suddenly said, "Team Lin is here." β
The woman in front of him hurriedly greeted him, Zong Yu turned his head to look, and was facing the woman who was taking the lead in the distance, this look, he was suddenly shocked, only to see that the woman's appearance was very similar to one of his classmates Lin Xue, that was the school flower of their school, although Zong Yu had not crossed paths with her, but it was a man's nature to love to see beautiful women, and he remembered Lin Xue's appearance deeply.
And the woman was also stunned, she stepped forward and grabbed Zong Yu: "Zong Yu? Is that you? β
Zong Yu was inexplicable: "Yes... Yes.... We don't seem to know each other, how do you know my name? β
"Captain." The woman who took the lead earlier said to the woman who looked very much like Lin Xue on the side: "I also feel that he looks like Professor Zong, but it doesn't seem to be. β
"Huh?" The captain hurriedly withdrew his hand: "Who are you?" You're not Zongyu? β
Zong Yu said with a bitter face: "My name is Zong Yu, but I don't seem to be the Professor Zong you said I said, I'm just a sophomore, you recognize the wrong person." β
The woman raised her eyebrows and looked at Zong Yu for a while, and sighed lightly: "So that's the case, it's such a coincidence, you actually look exactly the same as Zong Yu, even the name is the same, it's incredible, my name is Lin Xue, it's a pleasure to meet you." β
"yes, I... I'm glad too.... Zong Yu also felt incredible in his heart, the woman in front of him and Lin Xue with the same name and surname still looked exactly the same, the woman said that she looked like a professor before, it seems that this Lin Xue is not lying, the two big coincidences have come together, can this still be said to be a coincidence?
"That γγγγγγ" Zong Yu asked tentatively: "Lin... Miss Lin Xue, forgive me for taking the liberty of being presumptuous, I also asked this young lady before, but she never answered me, who are you? Why are there guns? Still.... Are they all women? Are you from the Women's Federation? β
Several women couldn't hold back their laughter when they heard it, and Lin Xue said: "We are not a women's federation, we are entrusted to find the missing Professor Zongyu, too... My fiancΓ©... β
"What?" Zong Yu was taken aback: "Your fiancΓ©? β
Lin Xue's eyes dimmed, and she nodded: "Yes, so I can know that you are not him." β
"Ahh That's it... Zong Yu was a little embarrassed: "That... Since it was a misunderstanding, then ... We won't delay you in finding someone, we still have something to do, let's go first... Leave. β
"Wait." Lin Xue suddenly said, "Can you help me do something?" β
Zong Yu was puzzled: "What the hell are you not talking aboutγγγγγγ β
Lin Xue thought about it for a while, seemed to hesitate, and after a long time, she said in a firm tone: "I know that you and I have met in Pingshui, and now it is not appropriate for me to ask you for help, but the matter is urgent, I can't hesitate for half a minute, I can promise you, as long as you help me with this, I will give you a rich reward, so rich that you will not want to refuse." β
"Big payoffs?" Zong Yu said a little half-jokingly: "You have guns, where do I dare to refuse, just return it, as long as I can do it, say it, what do you want me to do?" β
Lin Xue took out a small rectangular electronic device from the side pocket and handed it to Zong Yu: "You take this, as long as you press the red button in the middle, we can talk, I will talk to you about other things slowly, you go back and prepare first, and we will meet at this place at three o'clock tomorrow afternoon, and I will take you to a place." β
Zong Yu picked up the square box in his hand: "You just say it's the mobile phone, okay, then let's go back first." β
"Yes." Lin Xue nodded, turned to the woman on the side and said, "Lift the alert and let them go." β
The woman raised her wrist to her watch: "Xian'er, let them go." β
"Roger! Roger that! β
Zong Yu was shocked, and glanced at the little horn, and the two hurriedly left, so to speak, all the way away.
didn't dare to look back, the two ran out of the tunnel in one breath, crawled out of the hole along the hemp rope and returned to the outside of the original house, Zong Yu relieved himself: "Did I have a dream just now?" β
The little horn pointed to his hand: "What do you say?" β
Zong Yu hurriedly threw away the mobile phone in his hand: "When Lao Tzu is stupid, I won't run far away if I can run, who likes to be held at gunpoint." β
The little horn said, "Then you won't come tomorrow?" β
"Only fools will come." After Zong Yu finished speaking, he spread his feet and ran, shouting as he ran: "Run, let's go back to Yuma, anyway, today is the last day." β
"You wait for me!" The little horn hurriedly raised his feet and pushed up.
The two of them rushed straight back to the camp at the foot of Yuma Mountain in the southwest of the ancient city, the camp was empty, and even the old horse left behind was not there. Everyone's stuff is here, what if I lose any valuables? It's so irresponsible! β
"Maybe there's some big discovery over there and calls him to help, or let's go and have a look, and call everyone back by the way, and we'll arrange a return trip early." Zong Yu said as he packed up his things.
The little horn said: "It's useless for you to be in a hurry, Zhu Hao hasn't come back since he sent Professor Xu back to Yuma, how can we go back now that we don't have a car?" β
Zong Yu thought about it for a while, and put down the things in his hand: "That's right, then let's go to the A-2 pit to meet everyone first." β
The two then marched to the center of the ancient city, the scale of this ancient city is not small, from the southwest of the city to the center of the city, even if it takes at least an hour to walk in a straight line, not to mention that they have to bypass those potholes and broken ancient ruins along the way, and it is already more than 3 o'clock in the afternoon when they arrive in the city.
Pit A-2 is the second excavation of the ancient city of Canghai, where several central buildings of the ancient city were discovered, so Professor Xu designated this place as the target plot of the archaeological excavation, and the ruins of a huge canvas-covered A-2 pit complex can be seen from afar.
Several old professors were standing there not knowing what to say, Zong Yu and Xiao Horn walked over, and one of the oldest professors asked, "Have you been to the cloister?" What did you find? β
The questioner was Professor Zhao Xuegang, who was an expert in antiquities and the deputy leader of the team, the only person close to Professor Xu's identity and fame, and Professor Zhao was in charge of the overall situation when Professor Xu was away.
"Ahh Nothing to discover, it's just ... Something ordinary, nothing special. β
"No, Zong Yu, have you forgotten the γγγγγγ of the lamp?"
"Lights?" Of course, Zong Yu knew that the little horn was talking about the lights in the passage that those women turned on, but those women should still be there, they have guns and their origin is unknown, if Professor Zhao knows, he will definitely take everyone there to check, in case he meets those women, he is afraid that something will go wrong, so don't tell them yet, he hurriedly said: "Deng... A tall ladder, what kind of discovery is that, don't you think that humans in the past couldn't even use ladders? β
Xiao Horn was stunned, but he was also a smart person, and he also thought of the consequences when he heard Zong Yu's words, so he helped to play haha: "That's right, this doesn't seem to be anything special." β
Zong Yu smiled secretly in his heart, and hurriedly led the topic to the side: "By the way, Professor Zhao, have you found anything here?" Today is the last day of the original trip, and we should go back to Yuma in a while. β
As soon as Professor Zhao heard Zong Yu ask, he began to talk eloquently: "Not to mention, there are really a lot of discoveries, have you found this Canghai City, the ancient buildings around are incomplete, as if they have experienced war bombing, but this is the center of the ancient city, the ground buildings are gone, and the only ruins are buried in the ground, it stands to reason that this should not be, I reasonγγγγγγ β
Zong Yu listened to Professor Zhao's mouth as if he was in the clouds, but the little speaker could still occasionally interject, and after about half an hour, a rumbling sound came from the distance, it should be Zhu Hao who came back from Yuma to see that everyone was not in the camp and chased here.
Sure enough, it was the car of the archaeological group, Zhu Hao hurriedly ran to this side after landing the car, waving his hand and shouting as he ran: "Teacher Zhao, the city asked us to withdraw the team, everyone quickly got in the car and went back to the camp to clean up." β
When Zong Yu and Xiao Horn heard this, they were in the middle of it, but Professor Zhao waited for Zhu Hao to run close out of breath before asking, "Zhu Hao, what's the matter?" Why is the city in such a hurry to call us away? β
Zhu Hao gasped, his face was extremely ugly: "Old Xu, Professor Xu, let him goγγγγγγ β
"What?" Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and they all asked, "What's the matter?" How can you die? What did Dr. Lau say? β
"Dr. Liu and some of the best experts in the city gave Professor Xu a comprehensive examination." Zhu Hao said and looked at everyone, and his tone was a little lower: "But I didn't find out what the reason was, butγγγγγγ β
The little horn hurriedly said: "But what, can you finish the words in one breath?" β
Zhu Hao took a few breaths and continued: "Doctor Liu said that Professor Xu may have been poisoned or received some kind of radiation, but it is only speculation, and it is difficult to say now. β
"Poisoned? Radiation? Professor Zhao sighed: "Old Xu, hey! How so! I didn't expect itγγγγγγ β
Zhu Hao urged: "Without further ado, let's go back quickly, you still have to ask Doctor Liu for specific matters, I can't tell you clearly." β
"Okay, let's gather the specimens at hand, let's go back first, nothing can happen again." Professor Zhao slowly squatted down, tugged at a clod of soil at his feet, and suddenly shouted loudly: "By the way, send all the specimens we collected to check the radioactive source." β
γγγγγγ
"What are you thinking?" In the car, the little horn was chatting with the little nurse, and when he turned around, he saw that Zong Yu was thinking about something, so he gently pushed him.
Zong Yu came back to his senses and was a little dazed: "Horn, I think maybe that Lin Xue knows the cause of the teacher's death." β
"You..." The little horn was startled and whispered, "You don't plan to really go to them tomorrow, do you?" β
Zong Yu glanced at him and shook his head: "Forget it, maybe Dr. Liu can find out, but what Professor Zhao said is right, if those specimens really find out that there is any radiation, then we may all sufferγγγγγγ β
Although Zong Yu didn't say this much, the people in the car heard it, everyone bowed their heads and kept silent, and the whole car suddenly became so quiet, and everyone was thinking about their own plans.
Back at the camp, Master Ma was still nowhere to be seen, and Zong Yu suddenly remembered: "By the way, isn't Master Ma with you?" β
The little trumpet also said: "Yes, we didn't see the old horse when we came back before, we thought he went to your place, didn't he go with you?" β
"Nope." Nurse Xiao Chen said: "Master Ma should be in the camp, I also asked him to help me take care of Xiaobai, Xiaobai is naughty and likes to run around, maybe Master Ma is looking for Xiaobai." β
"Otherwise, let's all look around here, don't go far, and come back as soon as you find it." The little horn said and looked at everyone: "If you can't find itγγγγγγ β
Zhu Hao was the first to go out, and said as he walked: "How can such a big living person not be found, everyone look carefully, I'll go east." β
"Then I'll go north." Zong Yu said: "Speaker, you and Nurse Xiao Chen stay behind, and notify the others to come back when you find someone." β
Xiao Horn nodded: "Okay, don't go too far, let's come back from the city, don't look for it all the way, it will be dark in another hour or two, whether you find it or not, everyone has to come back, otherwise it will be even more troublesome when it gets dark."
"Yes!" Everyone left separately, and Zong Yu and the migrant workers hired by the two regiments to dig searched the north side of the camp.
After about ten minutes, Zong Yu saw a white thing moving in the distance, it was Xiao Chen's white puppy, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Xiaobai, I found Xiaobai, maybe Master Ma is nearby." β
A migrant worker brother hurriedly stepped forward, Xiaobai had a collar around his neck, a leash, and was also familiar with the people in the camp, the eldest brother easily led Xiaobai back, and the three of them looked for traces of the old horse nearby, but found nothing.
Zong Yu searched for a long time, seeing that the sun was setting in the west, and it would not be long before it would be dark, he called the little horn to inquire, and learned that the other two passers-by did not find the old horse, just when he was in a hurry, a migrant worker reminded him: "Young man, this dog's nose is very sensitive, maybe it can take us to find Master Ma." β
Zong Yu could only try it when he thought about it, so he took off the leash: "Xiaobai, now I can only rely on you, buddy." β
Xiaobai is not trained after all, how can it understand what Zong Yu means, seeing that Zong Yu untied the rope and patted its back, probably thinking that it was going to feed it, he squatted in front of Zong Yu with his tongue and wagged his tail.
Zong Yu said angrily: "On weekdays, the old horse doesn't feed you less, but now you only know how to eat, go and help find the old horse." β
The eldest brother of the migrant worker who proposed said: "Young man, it would be nice if this beast could understand it, or else, I'll try it." β
