Chapter Twenty-Eight: To Hami
On the way back, Lao Sun boasted to me: "If you hadn't stopped me, eldest nephew, I would definitely beat them up." I glanced at him and said you go now, I promise not to stop.
When I returned home, I breathed a sigh of relief, this is also a disaster, it could have been avoided, I don't know why Xiao Jiu came to this trick, could it be that there is some misunderstanding in this? Or is he reminding me of something?
After thinking about it, I couldn't figure it out, so I decided that I would have time in the future, go to Xiangxi in person, find him and ask him what the situation is, how can it be regarded as a fateful friendship, it is too inauthentic to pit me like this.
As the days of the beginning of next month drew nearer, I finally had a quiet time, lying at home every day, relaxing physically and mentally, but the thought of what I was going to face gave me a little headache, and then I simply left it behind.
Lin Feng was really seriously injured this time, and he didn't wake up for nearly a month, if it weren't for Xia Qianying saying that he was recovering, he might be able to wake up in the middle of next month, I would have thought he was in a vegetative state.
On November 3, Liu Mengqi received a call from Chen Guohua, telling her that the archaeological team was ready to set off, and that the target was located at the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains in the southwest of Balikun County, Xinjiang, where the site of the suspected Yueshi Kingdom was discovered last year. However, the Yue Clan once wandered in the Tianshan Mountains from northwest Gansu to eastern Xinjiang, and all the relics related to the Yu Yue Clan along the way had to be investigated, and this year was probably spent outside.
Chen Guohua specially advised that this time it was Zhang Fajian who went to the Quanzhen Sect, not to be unhappy because of the past festivals, and to unite outside for the sake of the overall situation. In addition, there are two supernatural people drawn from the "Sacred China", although their strength is not comparable to the power of Taoism, but Zhang Fajian was defeated in their hands.
You can imagine how powerful it is.
After listening to Liu Mengqi's story, I smiled lightly and said: "I should tell Brother Fa cheap this kind of thing, I am not hostile to him, I am afraid that he will look at me unpleasantly." "Thinking of the way he looked at me after being reprimanded by Yang Minglang that night, I vaguely felt that this trip would definitely have friction with him.
At 6 p.m. on November 5, we were ready to set off for Hami, Xinjiang. I went to the hospital to visit Lin Feng for the last time, and went to the station with Lao Sun, Liu Mengqi, and Xia Qianying, and the express from Shanghai to Hami also took about 36 hours, which was the farthest train I had ever made.
Our ticket is a high-class soft sleeper, two people in a room with a separate bathroom, but the ticket price is also twice as much as the ordinary soft sleeper, almost catching up with the price of a plane ticket, but unfortunately there is no airport in Hami, otherwise it would not be so troublesome.
I naturally slept in one room with Lao Sun, and I was secretly glad that it was not an ordinary soft sleeper for four people, otherwise these two delicate chicks would probably be driven crazy by Lao Sun's snoring.
The train was running smoothly, but it was not very boring for 36 hours, most of the time I stayed in the box and watched TV, and my grandson slept for almost 30 hours, except for getting up in the middle to eat.
When I arrived in Hami, it was already more than nine o'clock in the morning on the third day, and after getting off the train, I had a feeling of being reincarnated, holding it in that small box, which was really unbearable, in fact, the most unbearable was Lao Sun, Rao was ready for me, and it was difficult to withstand the attack of his thunder waves.
Out of the station, the archaeological team has someone to greet him, the person is a young man with eyes named Cai Lin, he is very funny, very relaxed, he claims to be a technician of the archaeological team, the popular point is the so-called logistics department, and so those professors and experts have recorded the measurement, they took the migrant workers to excavate.
Before I came, I checked the information in this area, and knew that the archaeological team is generally divided into two systems, one is the class system, which is full of scientists, geologists, cultural relics scientists, proficient in China, world history, cultural relics theory, ethnology, ancient Chinese, historical materials, geography, etc., each of which is a coaxing figure, and is also the core figure of the archaeological team.
The other is the exploration party responsibility system, responsible for the later excavation, security work, without their archaeological team only a group of professors and experts who can't be lifted on their shoulders is useless.
This Cai Lin seems to be very interesting to Liu Mengqi, it's not that he doesn't like Xia Qianying, but the iceberg beauty doesn't bother to take care of him at all, but after Liu Mengqi smiled at him, he let the kid kick his nose on his face, and walked side by side with Liu Mengqi, popping up a few humorous jokes from time to time, which also made Liu Mengqi laugh.
"Oh, I can't stand it, I said eldest nephew, niece and daughter-in-law are being molested like this, can you bear it?" Lao Sun leaned over to me and pounced on me.
I gave them a faint look and didn't speak. Lao Sun's eyes rolled, and a few briskly walked in front of the two, got into the middle of the two from behind, hugged Cai Lin and said with a smile: "Young man, the old man sees that your Yintang is red, and the auspicious omen is great, you are going to have a great happy event recently." ”
Cai Lin was originally hugged by him, his face was not very good-looking, but after hearing this, he showed a smile and said: "Brother, don't make fun of me, dealing with broken bricks and tiles all day long, what happy event can there be?" ”
Lao Sun shook his head and said seriously: "Young man, the old man has never deceived people for 30 years, your face is peach blossoms, white and red, this is to take peach blossom luck." ”
Cai Lin secretly glanced at Liu Mengqi and smiled a little unnaturally: "Really? Can you show me, who is my destined person? ”
Lao Sun let go of the hand holding him, pinched his fingers and said matter-of-factly: "Young man, what are your physiognomy?" ”
"The little brother is a sheep."
Sheep? Lao Sun muttered while his eyes rolled wildly, and when he saw the left side in front of him, he laughed, patted Cai Lin's shoulder and said Yes, cattle and sheep match, life is smooth, young man, I think he is the most suitable for you.
We looked in the direction he pointed, and we were all stunned for a moment, and then I burst out laughing, and even Xia Qianying frowned.
The place Lao Sun pointed to was clearly a cowshed with a cow tied to it.
Cai Lin's face turned green at that time, and he didn't say a word, just raised his feet and left. Liu Mengqi covered her mouth and chuckled, and when Cai Lin walked away, she said, "Uncle Sun, we are new here, don't be evil to others." ”
I nodded and said, "That's all he does, and you know it." After the two daughters left side by side, the old grandson asked me embarrassedly, "How is the eldest nephew?" Uncle has helped you, and when that old thing comes back in the future, you will have to help him. ”
I understood that the old thing he said was a Taoist priest, and immediately patted him on the shoulder, and didn't speak, I was entangled in my heart, and I saw Cai Lin and Liu Mengqi talking and laughing, and I was really a little unhappy in my heart.
But this is also human nature, if there is no jealousy, then you will become a Buddha immediately.
Hami City is a place where ethnic minorities gather nearly dozens of ethnic groups, its living environment can be imagined, and the Tianshan Mountains traverse the whole territory of Hami City, resulting in the formation of two very different temperature zones here, the scenery of the snow-capped mountains and grasslands in the north of the mountain, the desert scenery in the south of the mountain, there are ten miles of different days, one day trip to the four seasons.
Fortunately, the weather on this day was relatively peaceful, and there was not much change for the time being, so we went directly to Balikun County under the leadership of Cai Lin, and after finding a hotel in the county to place our luggage, we rushed to the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains in the southwest of the city.
There, the archaeological team has taken over the ruins of the Yueshi Kingdom. We drove to the county, where we crossed a layer of turquoise grassland, where the landscape was wide but not many, and there were only more than 10,000 people living in a county, except for the occasional herd, there were very few people along the way.
The ruins of the Yueshi country are also far away from the center of the county, and when we get there, there is no grassland, all desert Gobi, very desolate. The archaeological team set up tents on the site and prepared to live here for a long time.
Cai Lin has been talking less along the way since he was pitted by Lao Sun, and he has become active again when he arrives here, and people he knows constantly on the road greet him, and there are some migrant workers carrying wood, speaking local dialects that we don't understand.
When I entered the main tent, I found that there was a large space and a large number of people, with desks lined up inside, and a group of people gathered around a table with their backs to us.
"Professor Zhou, Professor Li, the people from the X Security Bureau have arrived." Cai Lin said softly, the group of people in front of him did not move at all, still gathered together, Cai Lin turned around and made a helpless gesture to us, signaling us to wait.
We didn't have any meaning, it was the work that mattered, but after waiting for five minutes, this group of people was chattering in front of us and didn't know what to say, and completely ignored us.
In addition to being a little angry, I can bear it, but Lao Sun couldn't help it, he suddenly shouted: "Oh, where is the little ghost, the old man is here, how can you be presumptuous!" ”
His words attracted everyone's attention, including the group of people in front of them, who all turned their heads in confusion. I saw Lao Sun conjuring up two talismans, reciting a spell in his mouth, shaking his palms, and with a bang, the two yellow talismans spontaneously combusted without fire.
Several professors who watched this scene were very surprised and held their eye sockets, Lao Sun danced and danced inside like a madman, tossing and turning for ten minutes, and the people inside didn't even dare to breathe.
Ten minutes later, Lao Sun finished his work, grinned at them and said, "It's okay, you go on, that little ghost who doesn't have long eyes has been driven away by the old man." ”
After Lao Sun finished speaking, he ignored the group of core archaeological experts, turned around and walked towards us in a chic manner, and winked at me as he walked. Instead of looking at him, I turned my head to my left, where four eyes were watching us.
The two people I saw were ordinary and ordinary, the kind that I couldn't find in the crowd, but their eyes were very sharp, or even sharp, and I could feel an invisible threat.
I think these two are the supernatural people in the "Sacred China", and they are also the ones who defeated Zhang Fajian.
When they saw me looking over, they nodded slightly, and then looked away and went about what they were doing. I didn't have time to think about it, because a group of experts and professors had already gathered around.
