Chapter 011: Visiting
The archaeological team has not set off because some equipment has not been in place for a long time. Originally scheduled for the afternoon... It was not until the evening that Lao Xu, a veteran of the archaeological team, called and said that it was dangerous to travel at night, and he would not leave for the time being, so let him go to the scene first, and set off on time at eight tomorrow morning, so that she could get ready.
Dong Xiaokui answered and checked her luggage again. Ye San and Xia Keke have long been in harmony with each other, and they have gone out to go shopping. It's unrealistic to find these two people to eat, Mo Yan is a family of three to travel, as for playing the piano, it's also a good thing, and he has a handsome boyfriend, and he dates frequently.
Therefore, I can only go out alone to forage for food. It was a sunny evening at the end of March, and the sky was an eerie purple, and the twilight was like an undying tide that was constantly eroding, gradually closing in all directions, causing the city lights to light up one after another.
Dong Xiaokui wore a cheongsam, a beige robe with classical embroidery, tied her hair up, and walked to forage for food. As usual, I went to a familiar shop and asked for fried rice, kelp soup, and egg custard sprinkled with mustard. Answering a phone call in the middle of the way was an invitation from National Geographic, and the other party was an important figure who studied geography thoroughly. He praised Dong Xiaokui's entry point is very good, and those pictures are also very beautiful, hoping that she can make a series of human geography in Shuzhong, and after she finishes it, the magazine society will publish a book for her.
This is exciting news. It's not because she's going to publish a book, it's easy to publish a book in this day and age, and it's not worth much excitement. She is happy because although the series is based on geography, it is also exploring the origin and development of Chinese mythology.
If she publishes a book, it will mean that she has revealed something about it, plus her articles in authoritative research magazines, and the mythical world that she is working on in the form of stories. If all of this has the effect it deserves, then it is not far off for her to extract a truly theoretical work from the results of her research. Perhaps, when the time comes, through the academic study of international mythology, the brilliant mystery of the Orient can be presented to the world.
However, this is a very great project, and at the moment, the road is difficult. Fortunately, the purpose of her research was originally an auxiliary means, and her ambition was not here. Dong Xiaokui can also see the current situation, this kind of research can occupy a place at most, and it is basically impossible to shock the world in this field. And in order to have a deep influence and penetrate into the hearts of the people, there must be other means. Like "The Most Mythical" or other games.
During this free time, she analyzed the structure and design of games, and of course, as a student of finance, she analyzed the market of games almost instinctively, from the operation mode and market vitality, and discussed them one by one. She tried a lot of games, communicated with the players in the game, and grasped the market feeling.
It took her nearly two months to determine that in today's society, the emerging industry of online games has strong vitality, and will have the widest influence in the future, more audiences, will seize more market share, and even force scientific and technological reform to achieve a qualitative leap, such as the arrival of the holographic era, the requirements for hardware facilities will be very high, and this kind of high-demand facilities will inevitably be expensive, in order to avoid high and low, science and technology will definitely have a big adjustment.
The vigorous influence and vitality of online games made Dong Xiaokui secretly happy that Xu Er's ideal of creating a real Chinese mythological system could be attached to the online games of Oriental Shen Yun.
And what she has to do now is to sort out this clear mythological system while studying how to reach a wider audience, such as the habits of Western gamers.
Although it seems that she is still far from this goal, she can finally take the first step to sort out this series of books, not to mention that she has a little more aura on her body, and she will have more bargaining chips in some competitions in the future.
I was in a good mood to have this happy event. Coming out of the small shop, I went to the nearby pet supermarket to buy canned cat food for the monkeys to celebrate. Take a bath, put on the sleeping music that Xu Er packed and threw over, don't think about anything for the time being, have a good rest, and go to the archaeological site tomorrow to see.
The next day, the archaeological team set off early in the morning. The mountains meander and spiral up halfway up the mountainside. On one side is the high mountain, covering the sky and the sun, on the other side is the cliff, bottomless, the mountain road bends one after another, the best portrayal of the mountain and the water is doubtful. The whole convoy of people originally went out of the city to talk and laugh, after starting to enter the mountain, in the face of such road conditions, everyone did not speak, especially sometimes there will be some broken soil on the mountain occasionally, and the courage to look at the cliff is only foggy.
Dong Xiaokui remembered Xu Er's advice and secretly thought: This is a hundred times more difficult than the road when I went to Aba Prefecture last time. Don't say that it's nighttime, even if it's a clear sky, it's so scary.
It took about two hours to reach the open area in the mountains, where the archaeological team's preliminary work team was already there. It wasn't a group of tombs, but it looked like a mountain village that had been suddenly buried in the ground, and there were still some bones in this mountain village. The archaeological team is carrying out the final clean-up and restoration.
With permission, Dong Xiaokui took some photos and communicated with Lao Xu, who from the perspective of archaeological research, thought that this should be at least the Xia and Shang period.
"At first, I thought it was an ancient tomb, but later I found out that it was a mountain villa, or a house." Lao Xu said, and pointed to a few more places to look at Dong Xiaokui. In the past, Dong Xiaokui used to audit the classes of the Department of Archaeology, but recently he has done some research, and he is also smart, and he can talk with Lao Xu very well. The two talked happily, and Lao Xu provided Dong Xiaokui with a lot of information, which also involved the discussion of totem worship.
Later, the two speculated that the geographically located mountain village would be buried suddenly, as a result of a mudslide or an earthquake causing the ground to subside.
"What about landslides?" Dong Xiaokui asked, she couldn't help but imagine the terrifying scene at that time, and she couldn't help but shudder.
"The soil here would not have collapsed without a huge force. This is an earthquake zone, so it should be a strong earthquake if it is buried so suddenly. Lao Xu frowned slightly, and said: "Judging from the traces left, these houses must have been residences such as princes and generals in the Xia and Shang periods, and as for why they are here, it should be related to the division of princes in the last years of the Shang Dynasty." ”
"Well, the Ba people and Shu people here are very strong ones, and their combat effectiveness is also good. Later, he suddenly lost his strength, and I am afraid that he was also destroyed by nature. Dong Xiaokui replied, remembering the classics he had seen in Ningyuan, and there was a few words that seemed to mention that the Ba people and Shu people could fight well, but later history proved that they had withdrawn their strength.
"Xiao Kui also noticed the Ba people and the Shu people. However, it is always speculation, and the evidence is not good. Even if we think so. Lao Xu said, and couldn't help sighing: "Sometimes when I do archaeology and see some antiquities, I can't help but sigh: even if the earth-shattering power and wisdom are shocking, there is no power to struggle in the face of death." ”
"Yes, the power of nature is even more powerful, and it can easily destroy the so-called legends, the so-called myths, the so-called heroes." Dong Xiaokui continued, and then had a flash of inspiration and said: "In this issue, I will do a humanities manuscript for Geography Magazine and write about the mystery of the disappearance of the Ba people. ”
Lao Xu laughed and said that his daughter was the same age as her, and she knew how to play everywhere every day. And she admired that a girl of her age could understand so much, and there were very few people who were so smart and quiet.
"Your daughter has traveled thousands of miles to increase her knowledge." Dong Xiaokui comforted, Lao Xu laughed, jumped down the pit to see the newly unearthed clay pot.
Dong Xiaokui walked around, settled down in a nearby hotel, sorted out the materials, and wrote a manuscript for the geographical magazine, but did not send it out, wanting to wait for a few days to further revise and improve.
Walking out the door, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, and although the mountains are cold, the daylight is very good. She took out her phone and called Xia Keke and told her to feed the monkeys on time. Xia Keke chirped crookedly and said, "You are a demon barrier, either a monkey or Xu Er." ”
Dong Xiaokui laughed, hung up the phone, wanted to call Xu Er, but was afraid of disturbing him. So let's do it. In this way, I stayed in this mountain for a few days, interviewed some people, and recorded some information. Follow the first archaeological team back to the city. Ye San's mother wanted Ye San to take Xia Keke back to prepare for the Qingming Festival and leave early. The monkey entrusted it to the piano, and the piano came every day to feed the cat canned food.
As soon as Dong Xiaokui went home, the monkey who was watching the scenery on the windowsill suddenly jumped off the windowsill and threw himself at Dong Xiaokui's feet with a meow, very aggrieved. Dong Xiaokui put down her luggage, squatted down and patted it, comforting: "Wronged, wronged." ”
The monkey still screamed aggrieved, and she personally fried fish and bathed it herself. Unexpectedly, the monkey who has never cooperated with the bath actually cooperated in a low-key manner this time, and cooperated until it was washed and dried.
After settling down the monkey, I went out to buy vegetables and cook to comfort myself, but unexpectedly received a strange call at the gate of the community, which was the number of the city. She picked it up, and there was a clean and sunny male voice, with a childish attitude, hehe, laughing, and shouted: "Hello second sister-in-law." ”
"You made the wrong call, I'm not married yet." Dong Xiaokui smiled and replied to the other party, just about to hang up the phone. But they said, "Sooner or later, you will have to get married." Look at my brother's attitude, if you don't want to marry, I'll shout first. ”
When Dong Xiaokui heard it, it seemed that the other party did not make the wrong call. She asked suspiciously, "You didn't make the wrong call?" ”
"Nope. I am Xu Zhonglin's younger brother, and I went to Yunlai Town to look for you before. The other party reported to his family, and it was actually Xu Shuting, the third elder of the Xu family.
"Hehe, Xu Shuting, aren't you in the army? How in Jincheng? Dong Xiaokui said. Psychological contemplation: There doesn't seem to be any friendship between them, why did he call himself.
"Didn't my brother tell you that I wasn't in the capital army, and I was still here to receive the pervert training he arranged?" Xu Shuting's voice was bitter and hateful.
"Oh, we rarely communicate." Dong Xiaokui replied.
Xu Shuting immediately expressed strong suspicion, and then said: "Second sister-in-law, I will go back to the capital after a while." I came to you to claim the damages. ”
"What loss? I don't remember what I owe you. On the contrary, it was you, the last time you lied to me and pushed me to your terrifying brother, I haven't looked for you yet. Dong Xiaokui said with a snort, holding back a smile.
Xu Shuting complained bitterly, saying that she was contributing to the construction of a harmonious society, and only she could calm the anger of his second brother. Xu Shuting is also a master who can quibble, and when he talked about it, he said: "Look, I have never mentioned these credits. Now that I'm in dire straits, you're going to have to give me a full meal. ”
When the boy said this, he almost burst into tears. Dong Xiaokui chuckled and said, "Okay, where are you, let's meet." ”......
