Chapter 29: The First Exploration of the Strange Land
The next morning, Deputy He asked me to go to his place, I passed by Cailiu's tent when she happened to sit outside the tent and tinkered with something, I said hello to her very unnaturally, but saw that she returned to her usual cold face, I was bored, muttering about this woman, how to change her face is like changing the sky, it is really difficult to serve. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info thought about it, and when he came back to his senses, he was already pacing in front of He Vice's tent.
Deputy He's tent was set up at the outskirts of the camp, and the tent was very simple, with a hammock and a simple desk and chairs for office use. When I saw that his desk was full of quaint and torn books and large bundles of materials, I knew that this call to me should be related to work, so I stood still and waited for the instructions of the leader.
"What do you think?" He lowered his head and rummaged through a large pile of paper sketches, and opened his mouth.
"Huh?" I thought he was asking about Xiao Chen, and after a while, I felt guilty and said that it was because I was too negligent in my work arrangements, and that my safety indicators were not well considered, and that I had failed the country and the expectations of the party and the leaders of all sessions. I am a hundred bodies He redeemed the real guilt, but I can't avoid playing official, and I was about to go online for self-review and criticism, but Deputy He waved his hand and interrupted me:
"I'm talking about Yin Gu."
That's when I realized, "Huh? Oh! Yin Valley? Deputy He nodded, I was a little ashamed to say that I had heard some rumors about Yin Valley from my elders when I was a child, all of which were ghost legends and boundless tomb robbery stories.
Deputy He closed the notes in his hand, paced back and forth a few steps behind the table with mountains of materials, and did not speak, then I remembered something, so I cautiously asked: "Deputy He, why didn't you see Professor Qian and Team Li?" What about them? How do I look at it...... Most of the colleagues in the camp are not there either? ”
I stayed in He Vice's tent for about half an hour and learned some general information: first, the archaeological team confirmed that the report was true, and there was indeed a huge ancient mound tomb under this lonely mound in the Yingu Valley, but the information we have so far is incomplete, and it should be an ancient tomb in the Shang Dynasty; Second, the archaeological team has already started to excavate, but considering the uncertainty of the underground situation, the trench exploration method was used to be safe, and a manually dug burial tunnel was successfully excavated when digging a deep trench. Deputy He immediately assigned people, led by Captain Li to form a seven-person advance team including Professor Qian Lao to go down the tomb, but somehow, this team has no news for a few days, Deputy He had to assign a second group of teams to go down to the ancient tomb to find them, when we arrived at the camp, the second team was also three days without news, for all considerations, this time called me in to ask the intention of letting me form a team to continue to go down to the cemetery to find people, but the manpower may not be enough, let me think about it myself.
I don't have any scruples about going down to the construction site, but the continuous loss of contact with the exploration team makes me feel a little evil, and more than a dozen professionals are all unpredictable, and I don't know who is buried under the blood-red soil of Yin Valley.
Back in the tent, I discussed with Cha Si and the fat man for a while, Cailiu happened to come in, I remembered her skills, so I also asked her opinion, I didn't want Cailiu to even hesitate and nodded and agreed to go together; The fat man's eyes lit up, and there was no need to say much, so he couldn't wait to start preparing immediately, but he looked embarrassed on his face.
According to my observation all the way, Cha Si, a native man, is agile and has little tongue, he is a character, if he can be brought into the team, it will definitely get twice the result with half the effort, but after all, the cow does not drink water and presses his head, and he can't force people to be difficult. I saw that the fat man still shook his head under the coercion and coercion, so I no longer embarrassed him, but asked him to stay in the camp and wait for the archaeological work to end, and then act as a guide to take us out of the valley. Cha Si had already been ground white by the fat man, and when he saw me handing over the words, he borrowed a donkey to go downhill and agreed.
In the afternoon of the same day, I finalized the work of marshalling the construction site. Judging from the current situation, in addition to the four of us who came later, there are only five people left in the camp, including Deputy He, two of these five personnel are medical personnel accompanying the team, the remaining one is the correspondent Xiao Du, and the other is Xiao Ye, who is a paleontological research major.
I counted the personnel, and I was stunned, Deputy He sent all the core professionals who could be used to the ancient tomb, if there is really some accident, even if our archaeological team completely disappears from the industry, this kind of approach of leaving no way back is still somewhat lacking in consideration, and I don't know what he thinks. After pondering for a while, I felt that it was cumbersome for the two medical staff to go to the construction site, and the correspondent Xiao Du did not have any professional knowledge, as for Xiao Ye......
Xiao Ye is a girl, and in view of the special major she studied, so the two formations were left in the camp by Deputy He, I used to think that paleontology and other disciplines were simply a waste of life, holding the fossil bones of animals and plants every day, endlessly, boring to the extreme, until this time I witnessed all kinds of unheard-of horror creatures, such an idea was wiped out, if I took this girl into the valley, maybe it would not have lost so many people.
But at first, I didn't really want to put Xiao Ye into the team, after all, our task was to go in and find people, the terrain of the ancient tomb was complicated, and the dangerous two said that it was not good to take a girl after all; But Xiao Ye insisted on going with us, and I was entangled by her, until the fat man promised that he would definitely protect the safety of this little girl like a confidant lover, and I reluctantly agreed. After a while, the next day, under the guidance of Deputy Ho, we went into the grave that was found on the north side of the camp.
The scale of the tomb is not large, only one person can see the height, it is obscure, damp and not spacious, although the air is circulating, but there is still a smell of decay between the mouth and nose. I frowned and beckoned the rest of the group to follow the line, and after the fat man was broken, I went to the depths of the tomb to find out the age of the dynasty here. The tomb road is made of half rammed earth and half tomb bricks, and the tomb bricks are also quite simple, and it seems that it is indeed an ancient tomb cemetery that existed before the Han and Tang dynasties.
At the end of the tomb was a rectangular stone chamber made of bricks, about the size of a classroom. I thought it would be much easier to judge on this scale.
