All the people in the archaeological team are cultural people sitting in the office, they have never heard of this kind of thing, and the authenticity of their own deeds, even if I have experienced these things, with my storytelling eloquence, I can restore the reality of five or six points at most, but it is enough for them to boil for a while, and they have asked about the details of this well-known war front at that time. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

I said: "Comrades, when I tell this story, I actually want to say that no matter what kind of enemy we encounter and what kind of environment we encounter, as long as we have a belief in our hearts, we will definitely be able to win the battle, just like our archaeological mission, in the face of the terrifying power of nature, we will inevitably have some fear in our hearts, but as long as we overcome this fear, we will definitely be able to defeat nature. ”

Under the impetus of my impassionedness, the original fearful, scared, and hesitant face was replaced by enthusiasm, and the atmosphere was no longer dull.

After telling the story, everyone was full of food and drink, the second and third were also replaced by Li Guohua and Gu Tong, and the fat man and I reburied the dug sand pit, not to mention how many corpses there were, a big pit was placed there and no one could sleep peacefully, what if it fell.

Out of the humanitarian spirit, I still decided to find a bag to bury the bones of the dug up, and then bury it, and the fat man and I were busy working under it for a while, digging up a pile of bones, but never digging up the skull. The fat man threw all the bones on it, and Tong Qin on top exclaimed when he saw it, and the two of us quickly climbed up: "What's wrong?" What's going on. ”

Tong Qin said, "How many bones have you dug up?" ”

The fat man looked at the ground, and then at the pit: "Is there anything else inside?" What's wrong? Have any acquaintances of yours? ”

The fat man's unbridled mouth sometimes really gave me a headache, and I kicked him in the ass: "Doctor Tong, what's wrong?" Is there something wrong? ”

Tong Qin said: "It's not wrong, it's very wrong, don't you think there are too many bones?" ”

I said, "What's this, it's just that it's a little heavier, and the bones are all broken up, and the pieces will definitely look a little too much." ”

Tong Qin shook his head and said: "It's not because of the falling apart, there are a total of two hundred and six bones on the human body, each of which has a different appearance and different functions, and these bones you picked up have too many similar parts except for the lack of skulls." ”

The fat man and I dug under for a while, and as expected, there were four or five corpses in the bones that were dug up, and there were no skulls, Tong Qin looked at the bones and said to Emma: "These bones have all been cut off by force, there are men and women, old and young, it seems that they should be a family." ”

I still have a lot of trust in Tong Qin's expertise to be able to join this desert archaeological team, Emma said: "It seems that we have made a new discovery, this place is very close to Qucheng, if I am not mistaken, this place should belong to the ancient mountain country." ”

One of the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions of the ancient mountain country, according to the "Book of Han": "The mountain country, go to Chang'an for 7,170 miles." The household is four hundred and fifty, and the mouth is five thousand. To Yanqi sixty miles...."The people of the mountain country are all soldiers, the weapons in the Central Plains before the Han Dynasty are mainly bronze, and Zhang Qian brought iron-smelting technology from the Western Regions into the Central Plains during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and the armed forces of the Central Plains Dynasty have been unprecedentedly improved. The main production of the mountain country is iron ore resources.

The mountain kingdom existed for a short time in history, and the reasons for its disappearance are also controversial, some say that it was annexed by Yanqi, some say that it was forced to move south because of lack of material, and it is also a very controversial topic in archaeology, and even because there are so few records of the mountain country, some people have begun to doubt whether the mountain country really existed.

The only people in the archaeological team who are really archaeologists are Gu Tong and Emma, two people, you explain your conjecture word by word, and we discuss digging up the sand below to see if we can find the heads of these corpses. Emma shook her head and said that everyone is tired today, let's rest first, now such a strong wind and sand dig out a shovel of sand, the wind can blow into half a shovel of sand, and when the wind and sand stop tomorrow, let's clean up the sand in this ancient castle to see if we can find anything new.

The bones cleaned up were packed in a bag, and the fat man and I braved the wind and sand to put the bag under the corner of the wall outside the castle, and everyone studied it, and these bones found nothing other than to prove that they were cut off their heads, and the yellow sand in the sky could not erect a monument to him, alas. It's just that they were born at the wrong time, how good it is to be born in modern times, how safe our socialist country is, and there will never be such a bloody incident in which the whole family is beheaded.

I looked at my watch, it was already evening, and the black sandstorm outside was still fierce, and the momentum might have been blowing all night.

Except for a few girls, the rest of the people took turns to sentry, the second and third were on the first shift, and the rest of the people rubbed their feet with fine sand and lay down in the sleeping bag to rest, which was learned from Da Chun, water in the desert is more expensive than oil, and it is best not to use it for water except to drink, otherwise it is a waste of life.

The fat man and I were on the second shift, and the two of us found the second and third children at the hole where we came in, and let them go to rest.

I sat against the wall, holding an American-made M16 automatic rifle in my hand, in case a wild beast suddenly came in to attack and hurt people, while smoking and bragging with the fat man, while listening to the wind outside, when I thought that Li Mei and Tong Qin, who were no different from the old and weak soldiers, would continue to walk deep in the desert, their heads were big, who knows if we will encounter any traps and dangers, and when the time comes, like these bones, if they are found many years later, they will become the laughing stock of others. In the face of this rare storm today, the team members did not suffer any casualties, and I can't say whether it was a kind of luck.

After talking for a while, I smoked most of the cigarettes with the fat man, and I don't know how long it has been outside, since the black sandstorm came, I can't see any change in the sky, the wind is still strong outside, and the echo of the wind blowing into this ancient castle is like the wailing of a ghost, from time to time there is sand blowing in from outside, if no one stands guard here, it is estimated that it will not be long before this ancient castle will be filled with sand.

On this day, Emma and Li Guohua woke up, and saw me and the fat man sentry in the corner, so they walked over, two people with different eyes and different tasks came together, to be honest, it makes people feel very unbelievable, but looking at what they mean now, they should have something to say to me, it's just not a coincidence. Usually, I rarely talk to the two of them, mainly because Li Guohua is our financier, he doesn't talk much, giving people a feeling of respecting and staying away, as the old saying goes, "if you say too much, you will lose", and if you talk too much, it will make him feel that we care too much about his money, and when the time comes, if you don't go well at all, you will use this to write about us, and it will be more than worth the loss. Emma and the fat man don't deal with each other, it's been like this since they met, if it weren't for the fact that they were on the same team on a mission, I'm afraid they would have choked on fire a long time ago.

Out of politeness, I said hello to the two of them, and Li Guohua came over and said, "Mr. Zou, it's time for a shift change, you go and take a break." ”

I said no, the fat man and I had taken turns to rest, and it was good for the two of us to stand guard here, and let him go to rest, but he and Emma sat across from me and started chatting with the two of us.

There are so many things I want to ask between the two of them, one is an archaeologist, one is a Hong Kong businessman, one wants to find something in the family map, but I don't know what it is, and the other is for the protection and excavation of ancient ruins. Not to mention anything else, the goals of these two are so vague, Li Guohua's family has been looking for the place in this map for generations, what treasures can make them spend generations to find, and they almost used the most advanced modern technology to compare this map, and also spent a lot of money to investigate and explore on the spot, but they found nothing, what is it for sure that this trip to the desert will be able to find it. I don't know how many civilizations have been buried under this long yellow sand, just a few of us holding a drawing from I don't know how many years ago want to find the place inside, it's really a bit difficult, we can only say that we try our best to find it, if we really can't find it, there is no way.

Li Guohua didn't speak, Emma spoke first: "Mr. Zou, you don't have to worry too much about this, I took a careful look at the text that appeared on the drawing, this is the font of the Eastern Han Dynasty Lishu Cao Quanbei, and it is preliminarily estimated to be from the Han Dynasty." ”

Li Guohua looked full of admiration: "Admiration, Miss Duan is really amazing, our Li family has spent several generations of effort for this picture, and it is not as good as your effort, we specially found someone to do a carbon 14 test, and guessed that this is something from the Eastern Han Dynasty, which is not much different from what you said." As for what Mr. Zou meant, I can only say that I agree, but I can't do it, because whether it is my father or grandfather, our Li family has paid too much for several generations, no matter what, I hope to have a result in my lifetime, at least so that my father can rest assured, I just heard him mention the things in this picture, it seems to be related to the national treasure of the Han Dynasty and the mystery of the decline and fall of the 36 countries of the Western Regions. ”

I thought to myself, these two people are really together, how can people who have drunk foreign ink be like this? I hit the south wall and didn't look back. However, seeing his solemn expression, I didn't want to refute it anymore, so I just diverted the conversation and asked them what the situation was with the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions.
