Section 181 Archaeological Camps
"Uncle, you must be mistaken."
"Impossible." The driver said in an affirmative tone: "I will never be mistaken!" I don't know how many years it has been deserted, no matter what you are going to do, I advise you to dispel your thoughts as soon as possible, because it is very evil there! ”
I was really not afraid of the evil sect, so I said: "Uncle, in fact, we are the staff of the museum, and an ancient tomb was found near Anning Village, and we went to archaeology." ”
The driver thought for a while: "It's a hundred kilometers from here to Anning Village, which is a long distance, four hundred yuan." ”
"Uncle, it's too expensive, isn't it okay to do three hundred?" I bargained on the spot.
The driver shook his head: "To be honest, young man, I don't want to go to four hundred, that place is too remote, and most people have never heard of it, otherwise you should go find other drivers." ”
Xu Ningrou brushed her hair and said, "Xiaolong, why don't you take this car, we have to arrive before dark." ”
"That's right." I changed my smile and said to the driver: "Uncle, at first glance, you are an old driver, and you must be stable in driving, so I will sit in your car!" ”
Uncle really didn't disappoint us, he drove to Anning Village in an hour and a half, and from a distance, he could see that the chimney in the village was smoking, and the cheap man sat in the co-pilot and said, "Brother, didn't you say that this place is deserted?" Look, there are still people cooking. ”
Along the way, the has become familiar with the driver, and he is a brother, and he is very kind.
The driver scratched his head in embarrassment: "Impossible, when I was a child, my mother always told ghost stories, saying that there were man-eating monsters here." ”
Doudou smiled: "Uncle, that's to scare children." ”
"Huh." The driver smiled and didn't say anything more, because he felt like he was being slapped in the face...
There was a jeep parked at the entrance of the village, and an old man in his sixties was sitting in the car, he was a member of the archaeological team, and he came to pick us up.
After getting out of the car, we walked over, and Xu Ningrou shook hands with the old man: "It's Professor Luo, right?" ”
The old man nodded and said, "It's me, but... Didn't you just send two people to the museum? ”
Xu Ningrou explained: "That's it, Professor Luo, this is my boyfriend Bruce Lee, and the other is his friend Yang Jiannan, they are very good at studying the ancient tomb mechanism, so I invited them over in a private name." ”
"That's right, welcome, welcome." Professor Luo shook hands with me and the respectively.
When shaking hands with the, the said, "Brother, you have some yin in you." ”
How do you care about this thing, everyone calls it brother? People can be your grandfather at this age, right? But... What's the deal with yin? Why didn't I feel it? You know, I'm very sensitive to yin energy, and I can feel it even if I don't open my eyes.
Professor Luo was stunned for a moment and asked, "What?"
I hurriedly replied, "Professor Luo, he praised you for your heroism, and at first glance you are an upright person. ”
"Haha, bad old man, what heroic or not. Let's get in the car and take you to the scene first. ”
Before getting into the car, I grabbed the and asked in a low voice, "Professor Luo really has yin qi in him?" ”
The mean man replied, "It's a little, but it's not much." ”
I nodded slightly: "They have entered the ancient tomb, and it is normal for them to have some yin qi on their bodies... ”
In the car, Professor Luo excitedly introduced the ancient tomb, saying that the owner of the tomb was from the Song Dynasty, and there were many burial goods in the tomb, which can be said to be a major discovery, which can make future generations better understand the culture of the Song Dynasty.
Then, Xu Ningrou, Doudou and Professor Luo talked about porcelain, all of which were professional terms, what celadon, white porcelain, black porcelain, Ru kiln, official kiln, etc., anyway, I didn't understand, so I looked at the scenery outside the window.
After driving a rough mountain road, we finally arrived at the camp, which was supported by three engineering tents, and a deep pit in the middle, and a cordon was pulled around the pit, which seemed to be the tomb.
After Professor Luo got out of the car, he shouted loudly: "Don't be busy, everyone, come out and introduce a few new comrades to you!" ”
After a short time, four figures walked out of the tent one after another, and the first one to come out was a bald middle-aged man in his forties wearing a black jacket; followed by a middle-aged man in a blue shirt and glasses who looked polite; Then there was a middle-aged woman in her fifties who was short and fat and had freckles on her face; As for the last one, he is a young man about thirty years old, wearing a beige trench coat, handsome facial features, and a sunny smile on his face.
Professor Luo introduced us first, and then pointed to the bald middle-aged man and said, "This is Lao Fang, an expert in antique calligraphy and painting. ”
He pointed to the middle-aged man wearing glasses: "Lao Chen, a geological expert." ”
Then he pointed to the short and fat middle-aged woman: "Zhou Li, archivist, every antique unearthed, she has to record it in detail." ”
Professor Luo just wanted to introduce the last one, but Doudou asked first: "This is Bai Cai, Professor Bai, right?" ”
The young man smiled mildly, "You know me? ”
"Ah, it's really you!" Doudou showed an excited gaze: "Professor Bai, I'm a fan of yours, I often read your papers before I graduated, it's great to meet you!" ”
Bai Cai smiled, looked at Xu Ningrou and said: "But I admire Miss Xu even more, she proposed several new antique restoration methods, I didn't expect Miss Xu to be not only smart but also so beautiful." ”
"Thanks for the compliment." After Xu Ningrou replied, she looked at Professor Luo and asked, "Are there only so many people in the archaeological team?" ”
Professor Luo replied: "A few comrades were unwell and rested in the village, probably due to the lack of air circulation in the tomb. ”
"Then it doesn't matter to them, right?"
Professor Luo waved his hand: "It's okay, there are villagers to take care of them." ”
"That's good." Xu Ningrou looked at her watch and said, "Then let's start the antique appraisal work now." ”
"Xiao Xu, you have been running all the way, don't be in a hurry to work, let's go eat first, the mutton in this village is very delicious." Speaking of mutton, Professor Luo's stomach growled twice.
Xu Ningrou politely refused: "No, Professor Luo, we are not hungry, let's hurry up and work." ”
"Haha, Xiao Xu, you are really dedicated. Old Fang, it's your turn to be on duty tonight, right? ”
The bald middle-aged man nodded, and was just about to speak, when the young Professor Bai suddenly said, "Brother Fang, you go back to rest today, I will stay on duty, and by the way, I will discuss and study with Miss Xu." ”
Professor Luo smiled: "It's okay, you young people communicate more, and we old bones will go back to rest first." ”
After speaking, he drove Lao Fang, Lao Chen and Zhou Li away, preparing to go back to the village to rest.
The said that he also wanted to eat mutton, but I ruthlessly refused.
There is no other reason, just because of a bad mood! What kind of Professor Bai is so attentive to Ning Rou! But people are needed for work, and I can't stop it, so I said to the angrily: "What kind of mutton to eat?" Look around and see if there's anything unclean! ”
The agreed, and ran out happily, while I walked around the tomb to investigate, according to Professor Luo, the scale of this tomb is not large, and the body of the tomb owner has decomposed, leaving only a pile of dry bones, so the corpse transformation is impossible, and the yin qi is not felt, so there should be no problem.
It didn't take long for the to come back, and said with a complaining expression on his face: "Big brother, there is nothing around here, I still wanted to catch some game, I knew that I would go to the village with them to eat mutton." ”
"If you don't eat a meal, you won't starve, have you found ghosts or places with strong yin qi nearby?"
"Nope." The shook his head and said, "There's a small river nearby, I'll see if I can catch a fish and come back." ”
I waved my hand: "Go ahead, be careful... Wait, can you swim? ”
The turned around and said with a contemptuous expression on his face, "Big brother, my nickname is landlubber." ”
Hearing this, I was lying in a groove at the time, and I dared to go into the water with such an amazing nickname? Isn't this looking for death? So he pointed to the engineering tent and said: "Go and protect Ning Rou and Doudou, call if you have something, and leave the matter of catching fish to me." ”
"Big brother, you can go with peace of mind!"
I rolled my eyes: "You say that, how can I feel at ease?" Remember, keeping an eye on that Professor Bai, I always feel that he is a thief, not like a good person. ”
The smiled: "Big brother, you are a jealous person and your family is handsome." ”
"Less nonsense! Do you still want to eat grilled fish? ”
The hurriedly changed his words: "Big brother, you are the most handsome man I have ever seen!" ”
Seeing that he was so knowledgeable, I didn't say anything more, and walked in the direction of the stream...
……………………
After walking for about two kilometers, I saw the small river mentioned by the, this river is about fifteen meters wide, the water is very turbid, I can't see what is under the water at all, and there is a rancid smell, can there be fish in it?
I picked up a branch and squatted on the edge of the river and stirred it a few times, and the water surface spread out layers of ripples, but there was no fish to be seen. So, I poked the branch down, stirring harder, but the branch seemed to hook something, and I pulled it up, bringing out a broken step... And a piece of white bone!
I was also shocked when this kind of thing appeared in Leng Buding, but after taking a closer look at the white bones, my face became even more gloomy!
This is a human forearm ulna, the wrist is very thin, judging from the size, it is either a woman or a child, the metacarpal bone is only connected to an index finger, and the rest is missing, and it is precisely because the index finger is hooked with a piece of cloth that it was brought up.
I've seen a lot of corpses, and if it's just an ordinary white bone, it wouldn't frighten me, but this arm bone is only half of it, and the incision is smooth, that is, this arm was cut alive by a sharp weapon!
Moreover, this 'river' is stagnant water, and in the strict sense of the word, it should be a stinky pond like a 'river'. In other words, this amputated arm bone could not have rushed from somewhere else, and an extremely tragic thing must have happened here! When I have time to go to the village, I may be able to find out something from the villagers.
Looking at the white bones, I was in no mood to catch any more fish, so I dug a small pit, buried the white bones in it, and turned around and walked towards the camp...
