When Ma Tan said this, I sneered: "It seems that they must know the value of the stone and the words on the stone to them, and when it comes to the critical moment, the three of them are distracted." To use an inappropriate analogy, it is like a thief who divides the spoils after he has obtained it, each with his own selfish motives. ”

Ma Tan nodded: "But I really didn't think about it at the time, the three of them usually seem to be very kind, and they also have a deep friendship with each other, it is said that during the archaeology, there were several dangers, but they never gave up, helped each other, and survived countless difficulties." How is it possible to be distracted for the sake of a stone on which words are written? ”

I replied, "It depends on whether that thing is worth their distraction." ”

Ma Jian shook his head: "No, I still don't believe they will be distracted by this. ”

I looked at Ma Tan's expression, and he really didn't agree with my statement. I know that Ma Jian is a person who has no selflessness in his heart all his life, and he has no great desires and pursuits, so to speak, in the hearts of people of Ma Tan's age, he is one of the few white sheets that has not been tainted by worldly fame and fortune. So, he doesn't believe much in the negative things that he thinks are unlikely.

So I didn't want to argue too much with him on this point, but continued to ask, "Old Ma, what about later?" What happened next? ”

Ma Jian continued: "I followed them through the woods and left the makeshift camp. They twisted and turned around the path we had taken during the day, and soon found the stone on which the strange words had been written. It turns out that our location is not wrong, and we have been looking around here, but for some reason we have not been able to find this place. ”

Speaking of this, I asked the old horse again: "Then have you ever wondered why you couldn't find the stone at the beginning, but then they went it alone and found the stone?" ”

Ma Tan explained: "Of course I thought about it. There is only one reason, and that is that they are more professional than us when it comes to finding positioning. After all, we're studying living things, they're archaeological. At first, they couldn't find it because they were distracted by us, but then they went it alone and were more focused. I think they must have thought of something out of the blue. Because they had to leave the camp the next day, they had to move at night to see if they would find anything. ”

Ma Tan is a kind person, so he will see everyone as kind.

Even he had seen his student Zhou Zheng betray him with his own eyes, and he once wanted to poison him. Now that Zhou Zheng is missing, he still mentions him from time to time, still wondering if Zhou Zheng has any troubles, and still saying that Zhou Zheng is originally a kind person, and he will not become like that for no reason.

It seems that people are flawed, and when I look at Ma Yan's appearance, I really can't bear to say anything more to hit him. The Three Character Sutra says that people are inherently good at the beginning, and it is not easy for Ma Tan to live for decades and maintain this kind heart.

Ma Tan himself said that the people in those archaeological teams were indeed better than him in finding the location. So from what he described, it was probably the two people from the archaeological team who were looking for it

What was done with the positioning, so that they kept looking around, but they didn't find it. They waited until the end, and then secretly went to find the stone.

This time I didn't speak, and as Ma Tan continued, I also had a general understanding of what was happening at that time.

The two people who walked together in front of them, one was named Fang Jiaming, and the other was Zhao Huanchu. followed by the one who passed by, named Song Ping. The three of them are also well-known scholars in a certain college, and they all have the titles of professors and associate professors.

The age of the three people is also similar, Fang Jiaming is slightly two or three years older, and he is the oldest among the three, so the action has always been carried out under his command.

Fang Jiaming and Zhao Huanchu each turned on a flashlight and found the boulder first. They couldn't hide their excitement, and stood in front of the stones and high-fived each other, but they didn't dare to say anything.

They eagerly shone their flashlights on the stone and began to examine the words on it.

It's just that they didn't expect that the mantis cicada catcher yellow finch was behind, and behind them, there was another Song Ping hidden.

It's just that Song Ping didn't step forward to interfere with them, but hid in the grass behind them, watching the two of them.

At that time, Ma Jian was hiding not far behind Song Ping, he really couldn't understand what these three people were doing, and wanted to continue watching.

The two people who were reading the words on the stone wall, Fang Jiaming and Zhao Huanchu, were discussing in a low voice while reading at the beginning.

Later, the emotions became more and more excited, and I couldn't help but look at it.

They forgot about their surroundings and, after seeing most of the text, began to dance. It's like you've discovered some big secret.

Song Ping, who was hiding behind them, finally couldn't hold it back, and after seeing their reaction, he also sneaked out of the grass and slowly approached the front of the stone wall.

The horse in the back continued to move forward, getting some distance closer to the three of them.

The moonlight that night was not bad, and the moonlight seemed to exist specifically for this stone wall. It was pitch black all around, but in front of this stone wall, it was plain white by the moonlight.

By the moonlight, Ma Jian suddenly found that in Song Ping's hand, he was holding a bright knife.

It is a multi-functional tool that they must have when they go to the field. They can not only defend themselves, but also use them for other purposes, and they have a hand.

So seeing Song Ping carrying a knife, Ma Jian was not very surprised.

Just when Song Ping was about to approach the stone wall, Fang Jiaming and Zhao Huanchu in front of him had another unexpected scene.

Zhao Huanchu turned on the flashlight, shining on the stone wall, and suddenly chanted aloud.

Ma Jian is very knowledgeable, and he can understand several languages. But when Zhao Huan first read it, he couldn't understand it at all. Neither English, nor French, nor German, nor Chinese, Ma Wei sounds like a book from heaven.

And Zhao Huanchu obviously read according to the words on the stone wall, and his tone was subdued, not like he was made up. He must have recognized the words on it.

And Zhao Huanchu had just read a few words, and Fang Jiaming next to him suddenly rushed up and desperately covered Zhao Huanchu's mouth with his hand.

And Zhao Huanchu may have been in a hurry and bit Fang Jiaming's hand.

Fang Jiaming screamed and withdrew his hand. Zhao Huanchu was like being in the middle of an evil spirit, and he didn't care about Fang Jiaming, and continued to read the strange words on the stone wall. He himself was completely caught up in that madness.
