Chapter 32: The Aoki River
It was already night when I returned to the house in the east of the city, Tian Ji was lying on my bed, and the palace lord would rather lay on the floor than squeeze with us.
I squeezed into bed and fell asleep, but I couldn't sleep well, and I was restless and dazed all night, as if I had fallen into a long dream, in which I always felt a pair of eyes staring at me with bad intentions.
When I woke up, it was already dawn, I was huddled on a bed with Tian Ji, I couldn't even stretch my hands and feet, and my back hurt when I got up, but I could still see those eyes.
Suddenly awakened from sleepy eyes, Ye Zhiqiu is now sitting on the chair next to the bed, staring at me with his legs crossed without saying a word.
"Why are you back?" As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw her, and I didn't calm down for a long time.
"I should ask you that." Ye Zhiqiu's voice was cold, and he looked at both sides of me with disgust. "I think it's necessary to have a good talk with you."
Tian Ji's hand was still on my chest, I couldn't breathe, I kicked him away, this kid snored at night, and drooled, my shoulders were wet, and there was still a big piece on my neck, I rubbed it on the palace lord with disgust, and asked very blankly: "What are you talking about with me?" ”
"You bring two people back to sleep...... Do you think it's appropriate? ”
"Suitable...... "I don't understand what Ye Zhiqiu is saying at all." What's wrong with that? There is only one bed in this room, and if we don't sleep together, do we sleep on the ground? If you really don't care, I want to go to your room and squeeze it, I'm almost suffocated. ”
Syllable!
The chair was pushed to the ground when Ye Zhiqiu got up, I looked at her blankly, Ye Zhiqiu looked resentful, his eyes were on fire, and he seemed to want to kill.
"Who is this?" The field chicken woke up passively.
"Yo, my childhood sweetheart is angry, you have to coax it." Gong Jue sat up from the bunk, he had already seen Ye Zhiqiu, knew her temper, and gloated beside him.
"Your face is like a flip book, how can you say that you will change, I didn't provoke you today, what's wrong?" I got out of bed and got dressed, and asked seriously.
"You are so self-conscious, I hope you will check and restrain your behavior......" Ye Zhiqiu's voice was full of resentment, and he glanced at us indignantly. I still have a lot of things to do, so I'll come back and pack a few clothes and leave, I won't come back for the time being, out of sight. ”
I blocked Ye Zhiqiu at the door, I have known each other for more than ten years, the two of us have never won or lost, and no one has let anyone, anyway, I am used to her current horizontal eyebrows and cold fingers.
I took out the text copied from the white marble portrait of the Jiqu Ancient Tomb, and asked Ye Zhiqiu to help read the translation, these words are very important, Feng Cheng was sent out by Ye Jiuqing to collect news, except for him, only she understands among the people I know.
Ye Zhiqiu's obsession with archaeology was far greater than his disdain for me, and after receiving those words, the whole person immediately became excited, and sat down at the table as if he had obtained a treasure.
Ye Zhiqiu asked where these words were copied from, and I casually found an excuse to prevaricate the past, Ye Zhiqiu was completely attracted by those words, and didn't care about my answer.
I found a pen and paper and put it in front of her, she translated five words in the morning, I noticed that Ye Zhiqiu was looking at her watch from time to time, and I felt a little strange in my heart, a person like her who is obsessed with archaeology, if she usually got these words, it is estimated that she would not react when the sky fell, but today I feel that Ye Zhiqiu is a little absent-minded.
"There are too many of these words, I can't translate them for a while, and I don't know many of the words, the Jin Wen has existed for more than a thousand years from its appearance to its extinction, and now there are only more than 3,000 words of Jin Wen recorded, and about 2,000 can be distinguished." Ye Zhiqiu put away the text and looked a little anxious. "I've been doing a lot lately, and I've tried to find time to translate it, but I still have to check the classics, and it will take a long time."
"Cheng, you take this matter to heart, but you must not let others know the content of this text." I nodded and told again and again, looking at Ye Zhiqiu's hurried appearance, I asked casually. "The ancient tomb in the back mountain is a bit bigger, and it hasn't been cleaned up yet, so I see you're busy."
"The East and West Han Tombs in the city have been cleaned up, and I haven't been busy with this recently, we have found another ancient tomb site in the Aoki River at the junction of Sichuan and Shaanxi, and I am in charge of the archaeological work there."
"Yo, you can preside over archaeological work, it's not easy." Ye Jiuqing took a group of earth rats to make holes at night, and his daughter led people to dig graves during the day, I really don't know what evil Ye Jiuqing created in his last life, I smiled bitterly when I thought of this.
"Don't look down on people, I found the ruins of the ancient tomb, don't think that you will visit the tomb." Ye Zhiqiu said.
I couldn't cry or laugh in my heart, Ye Jiuqing felt sorry for her daughter, in the final analysis, she also knew that Ye Zhiqiu had a few catties and taels, and when it came to archaeological research, she might still be a good hand, but if she really wanted to visit the tomb or something, just Ye Zhiqiu's brushes, it is estimated that she will also want to find a tomb for the rest of her life.
This can't all be blamed on Ye Zhiqiu, Ye Jiuqing never thought of letting her do this at all, Ye Zhiqiu first took a probe shovel or I taught it, Ye Jiuqing later learned that he was furious, but anything related to tomb robbery would definitely not let Ye Zhiqiu be contaminated.
Who knew that things would backfire Ye Zhiqiu actually studied archaeology when she grew up, as far as the little skill she learned from the book, she didn't make people laugh out of her big teeth when she took it out, Ye Jiuqing has changed her way over the years to let people inform Ye Zhiqiu of the dug out tomb, and she has been in the dark about this matter.
"There is always a time when a blind cat bumps into a dead mouse." I leaned back in my chair with a hippie smile. "You can find the tomb, what a good luck it must be, let's hear it, how did you go to the Aoki River to find the tomb?"
Ye Zhiqiu looked arrogant, and said proudly that some time ago she received a package with a letter and some worn-out brick and stone fragments, which mentioned that the geological expedition team found these fragments from the soil layer during the investigation of the Aoki River, and because there were lines on them, they were sent to the archaeological institute for verification.
There was also a detailed location of the brick and stone fragments found in the letter, Ye Zhiqiu found that place, and after cleaning up, he didn't expect to find the ruins of an ancient tomb.
Hearing this, the corners of my mouth curled, this process is too familiar, Ye Jiuqing asked Feng Cheng to reveal the news to her in this way, it is estimated that the Nine Dragons Boat of the Moon Palace will reappear, Ye Jiuqing is worried that Ye Zhiqiu will come in, and most likely he found an ancient tomb in Aoki River to lure Ye Zhiqiu over, the purpose is to break her away.
"By the way, I just have something to ask you." Ye Zhiqiu said as he took out a stack of photos from his bag. "This was filmed from the site of the Aoki River Ancient Tomb, you steal ...... You've seen more tombs than I do, have you ever seen this pattern? ”
Gongjue and Tian Ji all gathered around me, I crossed my legs and looked at the photos handed over by Ye Zhiqiu, muttering in my heart, Ye Jiuqing could let her touch the tomb, most of which were not good.
Flipping through a few photos, judging from the cleaned brick and tile lines, it is rough and vivid and simple and heavy, with the unique animal face decoration of the Qin Dynasty.
"What's so nice about this, you still study archaeology, you haven't seen the ornaments of the Qin Dynasty, this ancient tomb is from the Qin Dynasty." I returned the photo carelessly, thinking in my heart, this time Ye Jiuqing is really generous, looking at the texture of those bricks and tiles, it is definitely not something that ordinary people can enjoy, in order to support Ye Zhiqiu's big blood.
"Who doesn't know that it's the ornament of the Qin Dynasty." Ye Zhiqiu took the photo over, rummaged in it for a long time, and then took out one and put it in front of the three of us. "Help me take a look at this one, the lines on it are very peculiar, there is no similar one found in the Qin Dynasty artifacts unearthed in the past, this is the first time it has been discovered, do you know what this is?"
My smile instantly froze on my face, and Gong Jue and Tian Ji were now the same as me, their eyes widened and their mouths slowly opened.
The photo shows a tomb door that has been cleaned and closed, and there is a clear dragon pattern in the middle of the tomb door, which is quite different from the simple and vigorous dragon pattern of the Qin Dynasty.
We have also seen such dragon patterns in the tomb of Jiqu, and it is exactly the same as the one in my necklace, which is the rumored feathered dragon pattern that hides the secret of the Nine Dragons Boat of the Moon Palace.
I didn't expect that there was a feather dragon pattern in the ancient tomb ruins discovered by Ye Zhiqiu, and the three of us were shocked for a long time and didn't know what to say.
"You ...... Have you ever seen this ornament? "Ye Zhiqiu should have seen us so shocked and asked tentatively.
The three of us shook their heads in unison, Ye Zhiqiu probably saw that we didn't react right, and glanced back and forth on our faces for a long time, and Yang Yang unquickly put away the photo and said that he was going to rush back to Aoki River soon, I asked who mailed the package to her, Ye Zhiqiu said that there was no name, and she was also very curious.
But I can be sure that it will definitely not be Ye Jiuqing, I'm afraid that even he doesn't know what Ye Zhiqiu found now.
