Chapter 2 The Secret of Bamboo Slips
Three days later. "Axia, you've been studying this bamboo slip for almost three days, have you found anything?"
The fat man said as he looked at me as he ate potato chips.
"Ugh."
I shook my head helplessly, and said: "I don't have a clue, fat man, you know, although I am an archaeologist, I don't know much about ancient characters or anything, so I don't know what is written on it at all." Still, I found something too. ”
"Something."
The fat man put down the chips and said suspiciously.
"Fatty, look."
I put my hand on the right end of the bamboo slip and said, "The right end of the rope of this bamboo slip has obvious signs of breakage, but there are no signs of breaking on the top, bottom, or left. ”
"What's next?"
The fat man looked at the bamboo slips carefully and said suspiciously.
"Hmm."
I nodded and said, "There's definitely the next volume." There is also the fact that this bamboo slip should be from the Qin Dynasty, but the words written on it are not the script of the Qin Dynasty, but another strange script. ”
"Oh."
The fat man nodded, took out his mobile phone and took a picture of the bamboo slips.
I watched him move and asked, "Fatty, what are you doing here?" ”
"Of course it's Weibo."
The fat man looked at me and said very indifferently: "The power of Weibo is powerful, since you can't think of it, then ask netizens for help." ”
"Fat people can't send it."
I hurriedly said.
"Ugh."
The fat man turned the phone screen very helplessly and said, "Big brother, I have already sent ......"
"Oh my God."
I patted my head and leaned back on the recliner helplessly.
Another three days have passed, and I still have no clue about this bamboo slip.
"Ring, ring, ring."
The phone on the table rang suddenly, and I hurriedly picked it up, "Hey, whoever." ”
"What, let me pay the bill?"
I walked into the hotel and was greeted by a middle-aged man across the street.
"Here we are."
"Uncle Liu, who asked me to pay the bill."
I asked curiously.
"Your girlfriend, you kid is really not interesting, and you won't tell us when you find a girlfriend."
Uncle Liu said with a smile.
"Uncle Liu, where are you now?"
I asked, confused.
"Whew, right there."
Uncle Liu pointed to the back of a screen.
"Hmm."
I smiled and nodded, and walked over.
I walked to the screen and saw a girl eating and drinking.
The girl noticed my arrival and looked up at me.
I walked up to her and smiled slightly, "Hello, may I ask who you are?" ”
The girl quickly stood up, pointed to the chair in front of the table and said, "Hello, you are Xu Xia, please take a seat." ”
I glanced at her and sat down in my chair.
The girl wiped her hands clean, stretched out her hand to me and said, "Xu Xia, hello, my name is Chen Tangtang." ”
I glanced at her and didn't shake her hand.
Chen Tangtang was a little helpless and withdrew that hand. At this time, Uncle Liu came over and said softly in my ear: "Xu Xia, this meal is a total of two thousand two hundred and twenty yuan. "Oh." I nodded, looking at the old sugar candy in front of me. "Your name is Chen Tangtang, right, why should I help you pay the bill?" Chen Tangtang smiled and said, "You help me pay the bill first, and I'll tell you why." I glanced at Chen Tangtang and shouted, "Uncle Liu, settle the bill." "Uncle Liu came over with the bill, and I took out more than 2,000 yuan from my wallet and handed it to Uncle Liu." That's right. Chen Tangtang had a satisfied smile on his face. I've paid the bill for you, now can I tell me what you're going to do. I sat on the chair and looked at the old sugar candy in front of me lightly. Okay, you look at this. Chen Tangtang took out a roll of bamboo slips from the bag beside him. This is ......" My pupils suddenly shrank, because the scroll of bamboo slips was none other than the next roll of the bamboo slips that the fat man had given me. I snatched the bamboo slip from Chen Tangtang's hand and looked at it carefully. "Xu Xia, I didn't disappoint you." Chen Tangtang picked up the chicken leg on the table and said as he nibbled. I took the bamboo slip and said in a trembling tone: "Chen Tangtang, where did you get this bamboo slip from?" Hearing my words, Chen Tangtang's expression darkened, and he said: "I found this bamboo slip from my aunt's relics, my aunt is an archaeologist, she mysteriously disappeared during an archaeological investigation ten years ago, and she has never been found. Listening to Chen Tangtang's words, I was slightly stunned, and then said apologetically: "I'm sorry." "It's okay." Chen Tangtang wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and a slight smile appeared on his face. Seeing that she was back to normal, I asked, "Tangtang, since you have this bamboo slip, do you know the secret of this bamboo slip?" "Hmm." Chen Tangtang frowned and said, "I don't know much about this bamboo slip, I only know that this bamboo slip is related to a mysterious ancient tomb. "A mysterious tomb?" I looked at Chen Tangtang suspiciously, waiting for her next step. Chen Tangtang nodded and said, "My aunt told me before that this bamboo slip was accidentally discovered by her during an archaeology, and she had found an expert in paleographies and deciphered the text on it, but unfortunately this decipherment work was also lost after my aunt disappeared." "Oh, I see." Listening to Chen Tangtang's words, I nodded. "Sugar Candy, are you interested in working with us to find the ancient tomb?" I looked at Chen Tangtang and spoke. "Cooperate in the search for the ancient tomb?" Chen Tangtang was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Yes, I'm also quite interested in the ancient tomb mentioned in this bamboo slip left by my aunt, and maybe I can find clues about my aunt." "Then from now on we are partners." I stood up from my chair and smiled and held out my hand to Chen. Chen Tangtang was also full of smiles, and stretched out his hand to shake it with me.
