Chapter 22: The Female Doctor
Seeing Gao Yuanyi's serious face, Wang Bowen and the others did not continue to ask, and hurriedly took the three seriously injured people up, Chen Hong glanced at Gao Yuanyi worriedly, and saw that he waved his hand, indicating that there was no problem, Chen Hong nodded and followed everyone up.
However, after everyone went up, Gao Yuanyi did not come out with him, and Wang Bowen also frowned when he said this:
"At that time, we all went up, first gave a simple treatment to these injured, and then waited for Gao Yuanyi to come up, but this wait was more than two hours, until the doctors from the police station and clinic in the town came, he didn't come out, we all thought he was going to find the other two, and we didn't ask more after adding that the injuries of these five people were more serious."
Immediately afterwards, Wang Bowen told me that at that time, the medical conditions of the clinic in the town were limited, and after some measures were taken, they were quickly sent to the county by car.
"Didn't find it, or ......"
Without waiting for the police to speak, Wang Bowen hurriedly asked, Gao Yuanyi didn't say much, just told them that there was a beast below, and it was highly poisonous, and the remaining two were not saved, and the corpse was in the lair, and it was difficult to find it again, when asked what kind of beast he was, Gao Yuanyi just said: "Snake, a very strange snake." ”
The rest, he didn't say much, and Wang Bowen didn't ask much, but, in terms of Wang Bowen's shrewd character, he seemed to have a conjecture, however, he also knew that now was not the time to ask more, just go back and ask again, sure enough, afterwards, Wang Bowen asked my father, what was going on, and my father was not sure, but told Wang Bowen that it should be a snake in ancient times, and its name was Candle Jiuyin.
Legend has it that Candle Jiuyin, also known as Candle Dragon, also known as Candle Yin, also written as Dragon, is one of the mythical beasts in ancient Chinese mythology. It is the god of Zhongshan, with a human face and a snake body, a red body, and a body of thousands of miles, whose light can shine on the darkness of the North Pole.
It is recorded in a book: "In the north of Chishui, there is Zhangwei Mountain, there is a god, a human face and a snake body, its eyes are obscure, its vision is bright, it is a candle nine yin, it is a candle dragon." ”
Of course, this is all my father's speculation at the time, and the legend also has an exaggerated component, Wang Bowen told me that he later studied Candle Jiuyin, which should be a big snake in ancient times, but it was mythologized, but some emperors and powerful people in ancient times would capture Candle Jiuyin and use it to make an everlasting lamp, and Candle Jiuyin's body would emit a kind of light, and after catching it, Candle Jiuyin could be burned to obtain something called candle oil, which burned for thousands of years.
Wang Bowen told me a lot of legends about Candle Jiuyin before he continued, he told me that later this tomb was required to be sealed by the above, and it was not allowed to say to the outside world, people who knew it had signed a confidentiality agreement, in that era, the confidentiality agreement had a huge deterrent effect, and those who committed the confidentiality agreement would be sentenced, which was basically equivalent to treason, and for a while, this matter was suppressed until today.
Wang Bowen told me that the above idea at that time should be that it was too dangerous inside, and in those days, the equipment was not advanced enough, and it was too dangerous to go in, so it was strictly forbidden to excavate, and that kind of poisonous snake was defined as an unknown species, which had a huge threat, and if it was not excavated properly, it would cause great harm, so the project was also shelved indefinitely.
As for what my father did for so long, Wang Bowen didn't say much, but it can be seen that he doesn't seem to know much, I guess, saving people is one thing, on the other hand, after my father found out that people can't be saved, he should have done something else, otherwise it wouldn't have been delayed for so long, and it is estimated that the only person who knows is my mother, and now, no one may know what he did.
Later, in the camera of one of the students, I found some photos, and some bloody notebooks, there are also some records on it, which should have been taken when there was no accident, and the text on it is exactly the same as the text of the ancient Li Kingdom, Wang Bowen later deduced that this should be the mausoleum of the ancient Li Kingdom, but I don't know, the relationship between the tomb owner and the ancient Li King, and the ancient Li Kingdom is the oldest place in China, and it is also one of the oldest tribes, its history can be traced back to ancient times, and there are records of the Jiuli rebellion in history, among them, Li guesses that it should be the ancient Li country, which shows how long its history is, but the records of the ancient Li country are very few, and they are rare.
Wang Bowen also studied a lot of records about this in the later period, but for those words, he didn't know much, he couldn't talk about translating them at all, but he knew very little, I asked him what happened to the injured people, Wang Bowen sighed and shook his head and told me:
"There are two people who have not been saved, Professor Zhou became a vegetative person, and then he is gone, and the remaining two are disabled, and they are also insane, I visited it a few years ago, and now I am still in a mental hospital, talking nonsense all day long, hey."
It seems that no one really knows what happened below, and after so many years, it is estimated that those two people will not recover.
I chatted with Wang Bowen for a long time, until it was almost noon, he had to pull me to eat something, I left after eating, Wang Bowen told me, what ideas must be told to him, he will do his best to help me, and I want him to stop breaking contact, often contact, looking at some of the older Wang Bowen, I still have a touch in my heart, I can see that this person wants to help me from the heart, and, in and out of the words, he reveals regrets, I know, his regret is my parents.
After coming out of him, I also got a very valuable information, that is, some people are also studying Guli culture, but there are not many people who know Guli culture, or even very little, but there is such a person, she has been studying Guli culture, as for how she understands Guli culture, Wang Bowen is not very clear, but I know that this person is very thorough in the study of Guli culture, some more thorough than Wang Bowen has studied for nearly 20 years, which is also strange for Wang Bowen.
This person's surname is Li, called Li Ling, is a female doctor, returned from studying abroad, in her thirties, very young, Wang Bowen met this person at an academic seminar, after a few dealings, found that everyone is studying such an unpopular thing and has a connection, this Dr. Li often goes abroad, and also teaches at Harvard University in foreign countries, and is more proficient in some aspects of archaeological research than an experienced old professor like Wang Bowen, which also makes Wang Bowen a little admired.
However, Wang Bowen also asked her how she knew about Guli culture, she just said that she accidentally looked through some classic records, so she became interested in it, and began to study Guli characters, but she said that she had not done field investigations, which Wang Bowen didn't believe in a little, but people didn't say it, and he didn't ask in detail.
Wang Bowen told me that in two days, this female doctor will return to China to do academic research, specifically to study some ancient Chinese culture, and then you can introduce me to get to know, and when the time comes, I can give her the Guli characters I have obtained, to see if she can know some, but this person is only in his thirties, some too young, I still don't believe it in my heart, and I have doubts about it.
Originally, I was going to leave for Miaojiang in the near future, but it wasn't too many days away, just wait, try my luck, in case she really knew that, maybe I could save a lot of things.
In this way, I stayed at home for two more days, and I didn't go out for these two days, so I continued to look through the things left by my father at home, but what made me strange was that for the incident in 79, except for the confidential file, I didn't find any other records, and I was guessing that if there were some important things in my father's possession, then he must have put it somewhere, and if he didn't have it at home, where would it be, for a while, I couldn't think of it.
On the morning of the third day, I picked up the landline phone at home and listened to it, it was Wang Bowen, and he told me that the female doctor was coming tomorrow, and that I would follow him to the seminar in the name of his student, and then I would find an opportunity to meet her.
I've always been suspicious of this, not that I don't believe in the other party, it's just that for the people of the tomb guarding family, they don't know much, let alone such a young female doctor, however, Wang Bowen has been studying for 20 years and admires her a little, so I will give it a try, but I still don't have much hope.
That's it, the next day, I cleaned up and dressed, how to say, my parents didn't look good when they were young, I also inherited the two of them, and I felt very handsome, and I cleaned up carefully in the mirror, and went out more satisfied.
Until Wang Bowen told me the location of the venue, I quickly found him, I politely called Uncle Wang, he smiled and patted me on the shoulder, and took me into the venue, the venue is not very big, but it is particularly artistic, it is already full of people, after Wang Bowen entered, everyone greeted one after another, after all, he is the deputy dean of the School of Archaeology of Beijing University, and his identity is still okay.
At this time, I also saw the female doctor, who looked very exquisite, with long hair tied into a ponytail, black-framed glasses, and a set of professional clothes, looking beautiful and capable, and she didn't look like she was in her thirties, but more like she was in her twenties, and I couldn't help but look at it twice.
