Chapter 4: Distress in the middle of the night
I have a vague impression of the Sichuan girl who laughed very shyly, is it really my crazy imagination? It's not impossible, after all, the people who do this business are not in contact with ancient tombs or old zongzi on weekdays, there is no real danger, and there are a lot of evil things, but these things used to be used as after-dinner conversations, if I am really afraid that these things will not come to do this business; Besides, the archaeological team is full of people, the work is heavy, and the functions are different, and everyone doesn't deliberately pay attention to anyone, and now that I think about it, it seems that she only joined the archaeological team half a month ago.

Thinking of this, I rolled over from the bed and sat up, yes! She joined the archaeological team half a month ago, this girl named Cao Xuenu really exists! I suddenly remembered that I bumped into her half a month ago when I was receiving a boxed lunch, and the girl's pursed lips and smiled made me feel stunned for a while, but I never took a picture again, and the things at work were complicated, so I gradually forgot about it. I had been thinking about other things when I was in the ancient tomb road the day before yesterday, and I didn't notice her, except that I remembered that seven men and one woman and eight people went east to explore this stubble......
That's right! It's seven men and one woman, clearly!
As soon as my thoughts were clear, I felt a chill all around me, and a very scary thought swirled in my mind: since this is an established fact, the six people who are traveling with me in the corridor ...... What's going on?
I didn't dare to think about it, I was thinking about whether I should call the police or find an opportunity to quietly go down the corridor to look for it, the curtain of the tent was lifted from the outside, someone walked in, I glanced at it, but it was Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen is in his twenties, and I remember that he has been in the archaeological team for about two months, and like me, he is also an airborne soldier. Airborne troops, it means that they have some connections at home and come in through the back door. But it's different from me, no matter how I say it, I'm a graduate of the Department of Archaeology, and I belong to the Hardware Airborne Forces; Xiao Chen was different, he was forced into the archaeological team by his father after mixing a pheasant as an undergraduate in college. I also wondered, since I have an umbrella bag, why do I have to jump into the government unit, what is the purpose of landing in this Rausch place? Isn't it better to sit in the office and blow the air conditioner than to turn the sand and soil under the sun? But this is none of my business after all, and I am not so three-eight, if it weren't for Deputy Director He naming and asking me to take him, I can't say that I won't talk to him for half a year.
Xiao Chen was stunned when he saw me sitting on the edge of the bed when he entered the tent, but he immediately reacted and came over to greet me with a smile on his face.
"Coming back? Brother Tang, is there a ...... Better? ”
Maybe he didn't know how to show concern, so he hesitated for a moment, pointed to his head and asked, and then he felt that it was inappropriate, and hurriedly put his hand down and smirked at me.
I saw that he was angry and didn't fight anywhere, tried his best not to have a seizure, and said stupidly: "It's okay, I feel a little sick and dizzy." ”
Xiao Chen hurriedly poured a glass of water and sent it to me, I took the cup and lowered my head to drink a few sips, raised my eyes and found that he was still in front of him like a wooden pestle, I couldn't help but be a little unhappy, just wanted to ask him what he wanted, I saw him look very unnaturally and asked me in a low voice.
"Tang, Brother Tang, you say...... ...... in this world Are there any ghosts? ”
Listening to his nervous question, I couldn't help but wonder. Since ancient times, there is a saying: those who are afraid of ghosts do not rob tombs and those who believe in ghosts do not archaeology is a truth, and I don't know whether tomb robbers believe in ghosts and gods. If you ask whether you believe in archaeology or not, ghosts and gods are as ridiculous as asking a butcher if he is afraid that the old sow that day will come back for revenge.
I thought that Cao Xue's matter was still an eternal mystery, so after a little thought, I asked him tentatively: "I guess you have to ask Cao Xue about this." ”
didn't think about it, as soon as the words came out, Xiao Chen's face turned white, and he almost fell backwards. A series of actions startled me, I hurriedly reached out to pull him, the incident happened suddenly, and before I had time to ask what was going on, I saw that Xiao Chen staggered out of the tent without saying a word. I opened my mouth to call him but couldn't, and I felt more and more that something was wrong.
Judging from the current situation, I firmly believe that Cao Xue's little girl must have followed us down the road, and the abnormal behavior of the few people in the same group must not be caused by me. Thinking of this, a huge shadow gradually loomed over me, what happened to the rest of us while we explored the tomb? Where did Cao Xue go? What's even more creepy is why everyone is so tacit and silent? Instead of treating me like a psychopath?
These chaotic thoughts jammed my mind and stirred my chest tightness and shortness of breath, thinking that the stakes were high, that it was a joke to be told that it was a conspiracy, that no matter what the reason was, I didn't want to be concealed and stunned, but I didn't know the essentials of this matter alone, I had to find someone to sum it up. Thinking of this, I was stunned again, I have been in the archaeological team for more than three years, and after thinking about it carefully, I didn't have a friend who could put my heart to heart, and a strong sense of loss of isolation and helplessness struck, and I was a little stunned for a while.
In July and August, the child's face was still a sign of a clear sky in the morning, but in the afternoon it was already covered with dark clouds and a black wind. I walked out of the tent, and when I wanted to observe the sky, there was a thunder and lightning in the distance, and the whole sky was torn up in an instant, and the clouds above me seemed to be run over by huge stone wheels, layer upon layer, deafening, and the wind swept the ice slag in an instant.
I looked at this situation, I hurriedly withdrew and let go back to the tent, hail in this season is somewhat rare, this time to draw the ground as a prison, I can't do anything, simply lie on the bed and listen to the rain, by the way, a few people who entered the same road carefully sifted and thought about it, trying to find out what was missing and wrong, but unfortunately sifted back and forth a few times and did not find any clue, turned his head, only to realize that the rain outside the tent had stopped, and it was late at night.
I rolled over and got up, stretched, raised my hand to look at my watch It was past midnight, thinking of Xiao Chen, he didn't seem to have returned to the tent, the bedding was neatly laid down, I was puzzled, but suddenly I heard something strange not far away - the night after the heavy rain was particularly quiet, the sound of insects was endless, I thought I had heard it wrong at first, and listened carefully...... It turned out to be the sound of a woman sobbing in a low voice from nowhere.
Cao Xue?
At this thought, I immediately moved and dodged out of the tent. Standing in the dark night for a moment, I looked for the sobbing sound, but the woman's cry came and went, Rao is my ear power, and it is really difficult, and finally the hearing sobs are getting closer and closer, and my heart is gradually worried-unconsciously, I actually went around to the back of the Liao Dynasty clothed mound.
This Liao Dynasty concubine tomb stands by the mountain, although it is a mound of clothes, but it is also quite particular about the location of feng shui, facing the water in the east, and surrounded by mountains on the west, north and south sides. It's just a pity that the predecessors thought about it more, but the descendants didn't buy it at all - the large open space behind the ancient tomb seal also stood some remnants of the monument, it seems that not only someone has built a house here, but even directly developed this place into a barren tomb after abandonment.
I didn't think about being scared at the time, I just thought about Cao Xue's little girl's face. Judging by the voice, whether it was Cao Xue or not, the three watchmen who were crying in the middle of the night were behind the low wall in front of them.
The night is very quiet, so quiet that people can clearly hear their rapid and powerful heartbeat, black as an ink plate, the sound of sobbing is still intermittently falling straight into the ear, at this time it is close to make people's scalp numb, I don't know what to shout, at this time I regret that I shouldn't be so reckless, but since I came, I can't help it. I gritted my back molars, stretched out my head, and poked behind the broken corner, wanting to see if it was Cao Xue before making a decision. As I looked, I saw something that looked like a man crouching in the darkness behind the wall, just with its back to me, and I couldn't see who it was. I frowned, seeing that this person seemed to be eating something, and looking at the back did not look like Cao Xue, I couldn't help but feel a sudden shock in my heart, and not only that...... I noticed that the intermittent sobbing seemed to be gone at this moment.
Looking at the figure, it shouldn't be Cao Xue, that little girl is petite, the person in front of her looks a little burly, and the silhouette in the dark is obviously a man. I muttered in my heart, to say that this area is now the scope of the archaeological team's operation, a cordon has already been set up within a radius of 100 meters, prohibiting idle people from entering and leaving, this is the middle of the night, the colleagues of the archaeological team have rested early, not to mention how can serious people be sneaky here at this point in time?
This battle ...... Could it be a tomb robber?
My eyelids jumped, this kind of thing is really there, I remember last year BJ archaeological team encountered once, in the excavation of a certain dynasty and a certain generation of emperors' mausoleum, due to the excavation scale at that time, mixed personnel, there was a tomb robber mixed into the official team, Leng was under hundreds of pairs of eyelids with a jade coral holding Zhi baby step shook almost ran away, and finally the bones were bumped into by the archaeological team in charge of personnel, this leaked stuffing, when this thing came out, the capital was in an uproar, you must know that this is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, the root of the imperial city, The bandits were so rampant that they had to be punished, and since then, the various archaeological teams have also greatly strengthened the security links in the excavation process.
Thinking of this, I twisted my eyebrows, and just wanted to stop shouting who the was there, but I didn't want the person who was squatting in the dark to suddenly turn around first, and for a while, he was facing me on all sides.
With this pair of eyes, I gasped directly into the cracks of my bones with a breath of cool air, and I barely carried my breath. What kind of person is Cao Xue in front of him, who is the unconscious Xiao Wang! What shocked me even more was that his entire jaw was gone, gone, as if it had been torn off by some strange force, and a long blood-red tongue slipped into the cavity, almost hanging down to the Adam's apple, and the entire neck cavity to the front of the chest was covered with blood, which was shocking; Now he was squatting on the ground, holding the carcass of a wild cat that he had found out of nowhere, and kept putting it in his mouth; But I had no jaw and couldn't bite, so I could only mechanically repeat the action of sending meat, biting, and then sending meat and biting again, and then turned to face me, my eyes were dull and empty, and the movements of my hands did not stop.
Rao is I am bold in front of the thousand-year-old zongzi every day, and I was also shocked by this scene, screamed, and woke up suddenly, it turned out to be a dream of Nanke. I sat up and couldn't help wiping the cold sweat on my forehead, remembering the situation in the dream just now and a burst of excitement, this dream is really good, Cao Xue's whereabouts are unknown, Xiao Wang's situation is not known, they all say that the dream is in the heart, and I don't know what the sign is. I was thinking about it, and I moved my feet to get out of bed and drink a flat little heart that was beating suddenly, but when I moved my feet, my heart was immediately clear, like an ice cave.
I'm not in the tent?
