Wang Longqian, deputy director of the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, and Wei Dongbiao, director of the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, got out of the car and went straight to the iron fence gate of Xu Wenlin's Tibetan Mastiff Garden. There is a passage in the center of the courtyard www.biquge.info the pen, the passage leads to a clearing in front of the house, and a burly man is pulling a big Tibetan mastiff with red hair jumping up and down, the Tibetan mastiff is strong, the hair is huge, and the red hair on his body rolls up and down like a wave of wheat, like a raging flame. The big man was also tall, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and the huge Tibetan mastiff looked like a pet in his hands, and the occasional appearance of grandeur showed more well-trained.
Wang Longqian and Wei Dongbiao arrived at the door, and the Tibetan mastiff in the courtyard barked together towards the iron fence gate, and the big man strangled the Tibetan mastiff and turned around to look at this side, and when he saw someone, he hurriedly signaled the staff to open the iron fence door. A middle-aged man in blue overalls came to the door and greeted him with a smile outside: "The two leaders are here!" ”
"Hmm" Wang Longqian nodded and smiled, the staff opened the iron fence door, and the two followed in. At this time, the big man had already moved away all the props that had just trained the Tibetan mastiff to jump up and down, and directly pulled the big Tibetan mastiff with red hair all over his body, the Tibetan mastiff walked very mighty, and the long hair on his body trembled rhythmically with the ups and downs of his body, and the big man tightened the iron chain with one hand and strode to Wang Longqian and Wei Dongbiao. Wang Longqian and Wei Dongbiao were a little stunned by this guy, and tried to avoid the Tibetan mastiff talking.
"Hello, Director Wei!" The big man stretched out his right hand and shook Wei Dongbiao's hand very friendly, and the two exchanged a few words. Dahan turned his gaze to Wang Longqian: "This is Director Wang, hello!" Dahan stretched out his hand to Wang Longqian again.
"Hello!" Wang Long replied.
"Director Wang, this is what I mentioned to you about Xu Wenlin!" Wei Dongbiao hurriedly introduced.
"Oh," Wang Long smiled at Wei Dongbiao.
"Come, Director Wang, Director Wei, sit in the house!" Xu Wenlin enthusiastically let the two of them into the house and brought the Tibetan mastiff in. The living room, which is not spacious, is very luxuriously furnished, the mahogany cabinets are almost up to the hanging shed, and the four mahogany sofas emit a soft light under the light of the right shade, and the beast lies at the foot of a sofa to rest leisurely. After sitting down, Xu Wenlin made tea and lit a cigarette for Wang Longqian and Wei Dongbiao. Wang Lung secretly looked at Xu Wenlin, this person is in his fifties, his physique is very strong, a big man of more than one meter and eight, with wide shoulders and thick back, big waist and round waist, but his body is very well-proportioned and very shapely, his thick arms and thighs are long and there is no bloated feeling on his body, and it can be seen that his body should be basically muscles. Because of long-term exercise, he has almost no wrinkles on his face, a square head and a big face, very thick eyebrows and mustaches, but his appearance is very honest, just like the material of the top bag that Wei Dongbiao said.
"What were you doing?" Wei Dongbiao asked curiously.
"Oh, I'm training this Tibetan mastiff!" Xu Wenlin replied humbly and politely.
"Is there any purpose in training it?" Wang Longqian also accosted.
"Well, I hope that one day the Tibetan mastiff can become a police dog, and if our patrol soldiers pull the Tibetan mastiff to patrol the streets, it will be very powerful, and it will also be a deterrent to criminals!" Xu Wenlin smiled and sketched the blueprint.
"Haha, such a big guy, you can control it! If you don't get it right and hurt someone, you just wait to vaccinate people against rabies! Wei Dongbiao took over and said.
"Haha, everyone can control it after training!" Xu Wenlin said with a smile.
"This guy has a hundred kilograms, right?" Wang Longqian looked at the Tibetan mastiff with great interest.
"Well, two hundred and fifty pounds!" Xu Wenlin hurriedly replied.
"Then you have to be careful, in case this guy starts to soar, this average person can't control his weight!" Wang Longqian admonished.
"It's okay to train it, if you want it to be a police dog, then there will definitely be corresponding protective measures, as long as the protective measures are appropriate, the problem is not big, I have been in the Tibetan mastiff garden for so long, there has never been a situation where the Tibetan mastiff has hurt people, they are all giant beasts!"
"Well, then you're doing a pretty good job of protection!" Wang Longqian nodded in approval.
"If that's the case, it can be said that it is not leaky!" Wei Dongbiao couldn't help but praise.
"President Xu, I heard that you have participated in the excavation of giants before!" Wang Longqian really couldn't find a good name.
"President?" Xu Wenlin was a little embarrassed. "Haha, it's been inappropriate for a long time, just call me Wenlin!"
"That's not right!" Wang Longqian was a little hesitant, after all, the age gap between the two was not small.
"What's wrong, I think it's good, is it just called a dog?" Wei Dongbiao hurriedly played a round, and it could be seen that he and Xu Wenlin were still relatively close, otherwise they couldn't joke like this, especially since Wei Dongbiao was a cautious person.
"Then you're welcome, Wenlin, tell us about that giant!" Wang Longqian said a little unaccustomedly.
"Okay," Xu Wenlin nodded honestly. "I have to go back to when I was in college, you know, I used to study archaeology, which is very mysterious in the eyes of many people, and a lot of times it has to move dead things! Although Mr. Fujino said to Lu Xun in our primary school textbook that Chinese have always respected ghosts, there is no such thing! You don't know what's going on until you really come into contact with it, and you have to try to protect the cultural relics, which are non-renewable. On the one hand, we must respect ghosts and gods and stay away, and on the other hand, we also need to practice the skills of excavating cultural relics! So before I actually entered the tomb, I read a lot of archaeological materials, as much as possible to accumulate theoretical experience, although there are many amazing discoveries along the way, they are also in line with our existing scientific knowledge, nothing more than the artifacts are very shrewd, the excavation process is very legendary, or the existence of some physical objects can correct history! But there was one excavation report that left me scratching my mind! ”
"Giant's report?" Wang Longqian asked curiously.
"Yes!" Xu Wenlin said with interest. "That information says that in 1921 eight 3-meter-high prehistoric human skeletons were found in Xicheng, Beijing."
"Didn't you say 1982?" Wang Longqian interrupted.
"1982 was the one we excavated, 1921 was the one I saw, I was very curious at the time, and I consulted more information, only some less authoritative information has a little sporadic record, no other information has been mentioned, and the whereabouts of the bones are not at all! In the archaeological world, the most significant discovery in 1921 was the discovery of the Peking Man site by Andersen and others! I thought that at that time, archaeology was just beginning, and it was possible to lose bones! ”
"Didn't anyone else talk about it at the time?" Wei Dongbiao asked.
"I'm definitely not the only one who has seen this information, but the general opinion of scholars is that those 8 skeletons are not prehistoric humans at all, but the bones of prehistoric giant apes!"
"Prehistoric great apes? Was a prehistoric great ape so tall? Wang Longqian asked curiously.
"Yes!" Xu Wenlin said firmly. "Prehistoric giant apes are the largest primates ever lived in the world, Canadian scientists have shown that this giant ape is more than 3 meters long, can weigh up to 544 kilograms, and lived in Southeast Asia and southern China about 1 million years ago. Early humans lived side by side with these giant relatives for more than a million years until they became completely extinct 100,000 years ago. ”
"That's a reasonable explanation!" Wang Longqian nodded thoughtfully.
"Well, from a physiological point of view alone, it does make sense!"
"Have more questions?" Wang Lung said in surprise.
"Well, we study archaeology, and in addition to superficial phenomena, there are some humanities and history knowledge to explore! There are too many doubts in this explanation, for example, the prehistoric giant ape lived in Southeast Asia and the southern region of China, and found many giant ape caves in Guangxi and Vietnam in China, in which both the giant ape teeth and ancient human teeth were found, and some holes contained more than 1,000 giant ape teeth, while there were only a few dozen human teeth, which shows that the number of giant apes in southern China was still very large at that time. However, it has not been found in the north, and it is difficult to explain that the excavation site of 8 prehistoric human skeletons mentioned in the data is in Beijing! ”
"They're not going to Beijing for a day trip, are they?" Wei Dongbiao joked.
"Probably not, Guangxi and Beijing are separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, those guys who are not very smart will not have such a strong purpose, and they all feed on bamboo, bamboo is rarely distributed in the cold north, there will be no 8 prehistoric giant apes, each carrying a few large bundles of bamboo from Guangxi to Beijing to die!" Xu Wenlin said exaggeratedly.
"Haha, too!" Wei Dongbiao smiled.
"There are also these 8 prehistoric human skeletons, we still call him human, because the fossils of other animals we found are scattered, one here, one there, if 8 bones are found at once, then there is reason to say that this is a tomb! If there were no certain social relations, without a certain civilization process, such concentrated tombs would not have been produced! ”
"Not necessarily!" Wang Longqian retorted. "If several giant apes were huddled together and buried by a natural disaster, the same effect would occur!"
"There is also this possibility, if several giant apes are huddled together and buried at the same time, then there should be big and small, natural disasters will not select 8 giant apes with a length of more than 3 meters at once! Even so, it means that these eight guys are acting at the same time, and this situation will not occur without a certain degree of sociality! ”
"That's right!" Wang Lung said thoughtfully.
"My speculation is that these 8 big guys who are more than 3 meters long at the same time are all adults, because of social relations, they were buried together, and they should be called humans, not giant apes! When I was a student at the time, I did in-depth research and published this article in a school journal, which was quite controversial and had a lot of support! ”
"Could it be that this story is made up from beginning to end?" Wang Longqian said suspiciously.
"I also doubted it, but at that time, film and television were not as developed as we are now, and there was more than one document, not as illusory as novelists, and what they said with noses and eyes did not seem to be fake! Especially since I saw it with my own eyes, this should be undoubted! ”
"Oh, yes, I heard Director Wei briefly mention it, tell me about your real experience!" Wang Longqian invited.
"It was in 1982, when I was in graduate school. One day, my mentor and I suddenly received a strange archaeological project, and the archaeological institute where we were working at the time asked me and my mentor to go to Inner Mongolia to excavate a tomb. The person in charge did not say what the tomb was, nor the address of the tomb, but my mentor had become very sensitive because of the previous Revolution, and he told me not to say anything, just carry out the mission. I didn't think much about it, I prepared the relevant equipment and set off, and the military picked us up overnight in a tent truck, and the car was tightly sealed all the way, and we arrived at our destination the next afternoon. As soon as we got out of the car, we saw that many soldiers were using green canvas to fence off a large pit that had just been dug. A man who looked like an officer led us into the pit, and I was stunned by what happened at the scene, and the giant that had been said for a long time was real! I saw that there were several huge skeletons placed horizontally and vertically next to the newly dug pit, and there were many skeletons embedded in the four walls of the pit, I excitedly picked up a bone and looked at it carefully, the proportion of this bone is no different from the proportion of modern people, it looks like a magnified human bone, by no means other primates, and the traces of upright walking are obvious. The size is amazing, I picked up a meter ruler and roughly measured it, just a thigh bone is 1.2 meters, and the length is more than four meters! ”
"This time you have seen a lot?" Wei Dongbiao teased.
"Yes! My teacher also said, Xiao Xu, I see you publishing articles in journals blindly, this time I saw the truth! I didn't say anything, I concentrated on my work, worked hard, and what I wanted most was to wait for the excavation to be completed, and the country would hand over these bones to me for study! But then it backfired, we dug up the bones, laid them out, and they loaded them and shipped them away, without taking into account our feelings! After a few times, I couldn't help it, and ran over to talk to the soldier who was driving, and I learned from him that these huge bones had been transported to Shenyang! We excavated there for dozens of days, and unearthed a total of 8 prehistoric giant human remains, several of which were quite intact, and I was greedy! ”
"Is this still greedy?" Wang Longqian asked with a smile.
"Yes, the value of different things is different in the eyes of different people, and this value can be cultivated, for example, you are a shooter, you can't put it down when you see a good bow, a knight, your eyes light up when you see a good horse, to give an inappropriate example, a dung digger is very excited when he sees!"
"Haha, this example is too vivid!" Wei Dongbiao said with a smile.
"That's true, I really want them to leave me a body, it's really okay to give me a thigh bone, but they are all refused, they say something about state secrets and the like! Later, I couldn't help it, and wanted to hide a piece secretly, but the soldiers around me were staring intently, and I had no choice but to discuss it with my mentor. Alas, he was a man who was frightened by the Revolution, and he didn't agree to it, and he didn't allow me to hide it privately! I had no choice but to secretly memorize the bone data I measured and memorize the skeletal shapes I saw! After the excavation, the military sent us back, I was very unwilling, I planned to get the evidence of the research through the power of academia and public opinion, after I came back, I sorted out the data and images I had memorized in my brain into an article and sent it out, who knew that it fell into the hands of the head of the archaeological research institute, he detained my article, and talked to me once, warning me not to be whimsical anymore! I was young and energetic, and I felt that it was too condescending to do this job, so I quit! When I got home, I still couldn't forget what I had seen and heard, so I studied it for fun, and who knew that this matter would be reported! The police department ransacked my residence, and my research could not be completed, so I had to change careers! Xu Wenlin described his personal experience vividly, without any emotion, as if it had happened to someone else.
"What would you do if you were given a chance to come back?" Wang Longqian asked in a very solemn tone.
"I" Xu Wenlin glanced at Wei Dongbiao first. "If I am given a chance to do it again, I will not be as young and vigorous as before, I will let go of my obsession and reconcile with the official on the premise of not violating my principles of life! For so many years, not being able to let go of my obsession has brought me a lot of trouble, I am not saying that what I insist on is wrong, but there is a more rational and mature way to deal with it! Xu Wenlin said seriously.
"Well, that's good!" Wang Longqian nodded in satisfaction. "Have you ever wondered why they're blocking news?"
"I thought about it!" Xu Wenlin replied very directly. "It's the culture of our country! We now generally accept Darwin's theory of evolution as a textbook, an eternal golden rule, and if there is a problem that is difficult to explain evolution, it will be difficult for the authorities concerned to accept it, and they are desperate to maintain the authority of scholarship, but they are also afraid that the emergence of new theories will lead to the rise of a new class, which in turn will affect the vested interests of the old class! ”
"Since you have seen everything through, you should know the current affairs, why do you want to move other people's cheese?" Wang Longqian asked rhetorically.
"At that time, we didn't have as developed information as we do now, and our educational concepts were not as diverse as they are now. The advanced ideas you mentioned were not appreciated by a young scholar at that time, and the books of the sages we read said very clearly that Gou is new, new every day, and new every day, and only now do we know that it is all the wishful thinking of the saints! Xu Wenlin sighed.
"Hmm," Wang Longqian didn't deny it. "Wenlin, we now have an opportunity to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new at the Central Bureau of Survey and Statistics, I hope that through this farewell to the old and welcome the new, some old systems can be improved, I don't know if you are interested?"
"I have!" Xu Wenlin replied firmly. "I've almost thought about my life, and now I need a chance to use my spare energy!"
"Well, that's good! We'll get back to you as soon as possible! Wang Long saw that Xu Wenlin's words were decent, his logic was clear, and he had a very good educational background and skills, so he agreed to Wei Dongbiao's proposal without hesitation. After saying a few more greetings to the three of them, Xu Wenlin satisfied the curiosity of Wang Longqian and Wei Dongbiao, and led them to visit their own Tibetan mastiff garden. After the turn, Wang Long sneaked and said that there was something wrong and left, Xu Wenlin sent them to the road, watched them get into the car and went back.
"This candidate you have nominated is a good candidate!" After getting into the car, Wang Longqian said to Wei Dongbiao.
"I just said that he is a talent, and it makes sense to say it, that is, when he was young, he was a little young and vigorous, otherwise his future would be brighter than now!" Wei Dongbiao sighed.
"Haha," Wang Long chuckled. "He's not bad now, look at the display in the house, it's quite luxurious!"
"This is all earned by people's ingenuity and hard work!" Wei Dongbiao was a little unconvinced.
"Aren't you!" Wang Lung teased.
"Ah, of course I am!" Wei Dongbiao realized that his tone was a little heavy just now.
"When I go back, I will recommend Xu Wenlin to Minister Yang, and it is best to give Director Mo's cousin!"
"That's not going to work!" Wei Dongbiao hurriedly stopped and said.
"Why?" Wang Lung said in surprise.
"If you recommend, this thing is yellow! Think about it, Mo Shoucheng just recommended his cousin Ye Tianfang, you immediately recommended a Xu Wenlin, everyone can see that this is a power struggle between the two of you, even if you recommend the reason is sufficient, once you are involved in the power struggle, the reason will become unreasonable, who still believes what you say! With such a gang, Minister Yang will also be jealous, just went down to a conformist dynasty, and another Wang Longqian dynasty came! ”
"What then?" Wang Long was stunned for a moment, Wei Dongbiao was so scheming that he didn't expect it.
"I'm going to recommend!" Wei Dongbiao said mysteriously.
"You?"
"Yes, I'm not involved in the power struggle between the director and the deputy director, I recommend the most suitable!"
"Hmm" Although Wang Longqian was skeptical, there was no better way at the moment, so he could only agree, from this moment on, he began to be afraid of Wei Dongbiao Group in his heart!
