Chapter 26: 60 Years Ago

The old professor Muquan invited Su You and the others back to his home, and the interior decoration was in a classical style, giving people a very comfortable feeling. The pen %fun %www.biquge.info there was nothing else in the house except for one employee and two assistants by his side.

Mu Quan motioned for Su You and the others to sit down, and told them about the incident of sixty years ago.

It turned out that Mu Quan's real name was Mu Xingkai, but because of some changes that happened later, he had to change his name.

Sixty years ago, Professor Mu Quan, who was still Assistant Professor Mu Xingkai and Grandpa Su at that time, and Professor Yu, who was killed a few days ago, were all members of the archaeological team of a foreign company, accompanied by two other men.

The main research topic of their archaeological team was "Suiren descendants", and the team leader at that time was Professor Yu, who led everyone to travel all over China's famous mountains and rivers, and finally in the depths of a deserted ravine in Shaanxi, they accidentally got the incomplete silk book.

You know, found in Hunan Province in Changsha bullet Kuchu tomb of the Spring and Autumn Period of the Warring States period of the silk book is the only complete in China, plus the back unearthed, there are so many pieces in the whole of China, and they are all incomplete, mainly about the celestial phenomena, catastrophes, the four seasons of operation, yin and yang five elements and the moon taboo, etc., there are a few will record local myths and legends or customs, etc., in appearance, the silk book has one of the biggest features is that the four corners of the silk book have trees depicted in blue, red, white and black.

Although the silk books in their hands are not complete, the content of the records is a documentary text similar to the "Historical Records", although there are only a few short sentences on it, it is enough to shock the entire archaeological community.

They were very excited to get the silk book, since they had found such a precious thing here, and learned that the Suiren also had a child who had not been handed down to the world-Qi Xi, then in a corner of the depths of this mountain forest, there would definitely be evidence that could prove the existence of Qi Xi, as long as they found this evidence, they could become famous in one fell swoop, fame and fortune! So the two men who joined later proposed to continue to set out into the depths of the mountains and forests and continue to search.

However, it was a rainy day at that time, Professor Yu, Grandpa Su and Mu Xingkai discussed it, and for everyone's safety, it was decided that they could not continue to enter the mountain, and they should contact the headquarters in time and ask for reinforcements.

As a result, the whole team was divided.

The two men who joined the team later thought that they came out to endure unbearable pain for ordinary people, not just for a pitiful pension, they were eager to become famous and powerful, compared to Professor Yu, the three of them seemed more calm, they were simply interested in this science, not doing their best for power, money, fame and fortune.

Although Professor Yu, as the leader of the team, persuaded him, he still failed to keep the two people, they carried backpacks and tools, and walked straight into the mountains regardless of Professor Yu.

It was about two hours after the two of them entered the mountain that Grandpa Su remembered that the two people were in a hurry and forgot to bring the compass that Grandpa Su had placed here.

At this moment, the three people who stayed outside were completely panicked, and at this time it was already a precursor to heavy rain. In their line of work, it is forbidden to work in rainy days, but at this moment, for the sake of those two lives, they have no choice but to pick up their equipment and walk towards the depths of the mountain.

Braving the pouring rain, they had just walked in the direction of the two people for about ten minutes, when a deafening roar stopped the three of them.

Professor Yu was stunned for a moment, then immediately turned around and pulled Su and Mu to run back in the direction they came, and seeing that the two did not react, he shouted anxiously: "It is estimated that the flash flood is about to break out, run!" ”

People are selfish, and when they choose between other people's lives and their own, it must be someone else's life that is discarded. For the sake of difficulty, what morality, what responsibility, all are run to the back of the mind, after all, it is important to save your life.

Humanity is just that.

The rain came very quickly, pouring like a torrent, and the roar not far behind him shook the sky, and Professor Yu only cared about running away for a while, and he was out of proportion.

Professor Mu was also too young at the time, how could he have such an experience, and at the critical moment, Grandpa Su kept a cool head. Grandpa Su found that the place they were in now was a low-lying and gentle place, and if the rain was too heavy and caused a flash flood, the road would instantly become a riverbed of a flash flood, and there was no chance that they would survive.

So, Grandpa Su ran and looked for places like the higher mounds around him. Suddenly, he noticed that not far on the left, there was a very steep hill that was the best choice for refuge. Without saying a word, he grabbed the panicked two and ran over there.

After escaping to safety, the torrent poured out, sweeping in black and sweeping through the broken trees and the creatures or corpses that had not had time to escape.

Just came back from running a lap on the death line, and the three of them didn't speak, because they all knew in their hearts that those two people were already more than lucky. Compared with nature, human beings are still too small, not even a speck of dust.

This rain came in time, went quickly, and in a blink of an eye, the rain passed and the sky cleared.

The three of them didn't bother to check those expensive instruments, so they hurried towards the mountain, living to see people, dead to see corpses!

They searched in the mountains for two days, until they ran out of ammunition and food, and then they had no choice but to leave.

They had planned to report the situation to Headquarters when they returned, so that they could compensate the families of the deceased in a timely manner.

But when I went back, I found that there was still a headquarters! The whole building evaporated, and at that time, the contact information was barren, so they went to the house one by one to look for it, but no matter how they searched, all the employees of this company were as if they had never existed in this world, without the slightest trace.

They looked up the company's filings with the relevant departments and found that the company itself did not exist at all! In other words, everything they do that they think is legitimate archaeology is actually illegal! They had just returned from the brink of life and death, and they didn't want to dedicate all their youth to prison, let alone leave a stain on their files, so the three of them decided not to report the crime, although so many people disappeared, life and death were uncertain, and their conscience was not going, but for their own sake, they had no other choice.

Even so, the three of them were still unwilling, and searched for nearly three months day and night, looking for them through various means, including the archives management department, or the hometown of those employees and the person in charge, everyone, really all disappeared!

The three of them received a very serious blow mentally, Grandpa Su was the most serious, the whole thing was too evil, from the time they found the silk book, they came to a conclusion that shocked the world, and then they watched two good young people in their prime die in the wilderness, with no bones, these people in charge of the headquarters, including those employees, all disappeared for no reason, they were like they were cursed, and none of the people related existed. So Grandpa Su simply withdrew from this mission, left the industry, returned to his hometown to get married and have children, and spent his life in peace, Mu Xingkai and Professor Yu were also considered to be washing their hands in a golden basin, no longer asking about this strange thing, and by chance entered the same school to teach, after that incident, Professor Mu also changed his name to Mu Quan, and the three of them tacitly never talked about it to the outside world.

"Uncle, do you think the old man's words are credible?" Su You sat on the sofa in his living room, listening to Professor Mu's story for a day today, and his heart was quite conflicted.

"Don't trust it all."

"Well, I also think so, the two men acting alone, I think it is definitely not just for money, experienced archaeologists should know that it is not suitable to work before the cloudy rain, those two people can't give their lives for money, no matter how it is not cost-effective; And why did the whole company disappear for no reason? What is the connection to their findings? Hey, it's a pity that grandpa is gone, otherwise I must ask clearly! ”

Su You rubbed his head and continued: "Forget it, the previous things have nothing to do with us, and the most important thing now is to figure out our current problems." ”

"But then again, uncle, do you think Qi Ji really exists?" For ancient Chinese myths and legends, Su You is a hundred do not believe, he believes that there are some characters that do exist, but later generations exaggerate them and talk about them, for example, what Pixiu, gluttonous These legendary dragons' sons are actually just a kind of beast that existed at that time, how can there be any spirituality! But this contract is different, whether he exists or not, it does have the value of research.

"Inheritance is of great significance to the old feudal society, the Suiren are the leaders of a tribe, and it is inevitable that there will be groups of wives and concubines, so the possibility of the existence of the deed is also very large."

"Then why do we only know about the two children of Fuxi and Nuwa?"

Su Zuo also thought for a while and said: "Maybe it's because their contribution at that time was relatively large, so it will be passed down to the world." ”

"I always feel that the old man is weird, the archaeological team is now only left with him, and there is no possibility of leakage of this matter, since it has been sealed for sixty years, why mention it in front of my junior? Grandpa didn't even say a word to me. Su You asked.

"Things are not as simple as they seem, since he can tell us about this matter that has been hidden for sixty years, it shows that he must need our help, it is not as simple as telling the family, that old man has a problem, be careful in the future." Su Zuo also said.

"Lingling Ling..." Su You just wanted to say something, but was interrupted by his mobile phone, and looked at the caller ID, it was Jiangling.

"Hey, what's wrong?" Su You asked, Jiangling rarely took the initiative to call him, and once he called, there must be something.

"Cousin, do you have any money there? Lend me a little, and my mother will pay me back next month. Jiang Ling on the other end of the phone spoke in a hurried tone, as if he had encountered something difficult.

Su You listened, his heart sank, his cousin is just this one son, he has been a big young master since he was a child, he has never restrained him in money, after going to college, the living expenses are as high as three thousand a month, which is good in college, if you don't worry about food and drink, how can you still lack money?

"Where are you? I'll send you how much money you need. Su You showed a worried look, in fact, he was very cool-headed, if Jiangling encountered any danger, he would be able to eliminate the danger as soon as he found him.

"No, no need, I'll go to you at 7 o'clock tonight to get it, about five or five thousand yuan is enough." Gangneung stammered a little, and then hung up.
