6. Gu Guangming's thoughts
Take the whole Northeast as an example, the junction of Liaoning and Inner Mongolia has been a relatively arid area since ancient times, and it will probably enter the rainy season in July and August. As soon as Lao Lin and Professor Zhang discussed, they simply waited for the rain to be a little lighter and then put people down with hanging baskets, and the caves on the cliff that nested inward could avoid the rain, and the cleaned items were wrapped in plastic sheets and then hoisted to the top of the cliff, which would not delay the archaeological process.
Early the next morning, the rain was still dripping, Professor Chen was a little impatient, and took Chen Xu and the other two people to slowly descend to the position of the hanging coffin, I estimated that I had just stepped into the cave, and his slightly surprised voice came from the walkie-talkie, "This is likely to be a natural cave, deep inward." ”
Sure enough, not every hanging coffin was placed in a shallow cave carved out of the sandy rock cliff face, and the important position of the remaining hanging coffin caves also determined their difference, and my heart suddenly became nervous. Lao Lin's eyes instantly glowed, and after paving for so long, it seemed that he had finally waited for this moment, and he even raised the tone of his voice a few degrees, telling Professor Zhang not to enter the cave for the time being, and when he turned around, he hesitated for a moment, and first beckoned Gao Tong and the other two 083 people to follow him down to Professor Zhang's position.
Gu Guangming and I exchanged confused looks, and did not speak, both of us saw the apprehension in each other's hearts, and we didn't know what we would encounter this time. The big head is still a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water, and even has a feeling of being eager to try.
Half an hour passed in anxiety, and the eight people who went down to the hanging coffin were hung up twice, Lao Lin's expression was still unwavering, but Professor Zhang mixed surprise and excitement, and kept saying that there had never been a similar excavation record in the hanging coffin of the cliff burial in China, and he was full of expectations for the possible discovery in the cave extending inward.
A sheltered col on the edge of the cliff has already set up several tents, as a temporary office for the excavation site and some permanent archaeological personnel's residence, which is equipped with diesel generators and other equipment, Lao Lin and Professor Zhang went in to discuss for a long time, and after coming out, he instructed no one to go down to the cave without permission, and then took us back to the town in a hurry.
Dinner was a little hard to swallow, I always had a bad premonition in my heart, the pressure was nowhere to be relieved, I really couldn't get the interest to play cards and chat with them, I returned to the room early, turned on the computer and TV, and fiddled around, but my brain was not used in that place at all, so I simply lay on the bed and smoked one after another.
With a few gentle knocks on the door, Gu Guangming's low voice came from outside the room, I jumped out of bed and opened the door a little impatiently, feeling unhappy Looking at Gu Guangming's appearance and feeling even more ugly, Gu Guangming entered the door, sat on the chair with a gloomy face, scratched his head, and then raised his eyes and smiled lazily at me, "I'm done with Xu Yuan." ”
"What's over?" My heart suddenly became heavy, in fact, I knew what he meant, it was not that I was pretending to be stupid to ask such a question, I really didn't know how to express my sympathy in this situation.
"It's over, it's over. Hey, let's stop talking about that. Although Gu Guangming tried his best to be open-minded, he still couldn't hide the sadness in his expression.
"Oh......" I wanted to speak and stopped, thinking about comforting and enlightening him, maybe it was just a misunderstanding, I opened my mouth and couldn't say anything, and I was silent with Gu Guangming for a while, and then I changed the curtains
Gu Guangming suddenly smiled, his eyes glowed with a strange look, and asked, "Do you remember when you were a sophomore, we skipped class and went to the Internet together?" The first time I skipped class, I was so nervous, and it was such a rainy day......"
Of course I remember. In fact, when I think back to my carefree college life, I still feel that I owe him a lot, every time I eat and surf the Internet, almost all of it is Gu Guangming's money, although the money doesn't care about him, but I can't forget it, it's not about money at all. Looking at the decadence in Gu Guangming's eyes with a slightly happy aftertaste, I felt a little bitter in my heart, how could fate bind the two of us into such a bizarre.
That night, I told Gu Guangming a lot of interesting things about the four years of college, and it was strange to say, obviously a few years ago, and now I look back and think about it, as if a century has passed, I have cried and laughed because of love in ignorance, and it is almost a joke when I get it now, today's emotions are undoubtedly much heavier than then, but we would rather press it in our hearts, and we are no longer willing to use straightforward catharsis to alleviate it, I understand that this is the balance of the years that allows us to re-weigh the meaning and weight of love.
In the second half of the night, Gu Guangming was still talking nonsense with me, and no matter how sleepy he was, he had to pretend to be happy to accompany him, which was my conservative kindness. I understand what it means to grow love in the tribulation of life and death in the tomb of King Zhou Yuan, and Gu Guangming's heart must be crying blood.
Gu Guangming's laughter stopped abruptly in an instant, and he looked down at his watch, "Go back...... Alas, if only people lived at that time and never grew up, how could there be so many troubles. ”
I said "hehe" a few times, "Damn, you're a rich second generation and you're afraid that you won't find love in the future, so don't we dicks have to live?" ”
Gu Guangming shook his head, his expression showed reluctance, he stood up suddenly, his eyes were faintly shining with tears, and he turned his back to me and muttered in a low voice, "Let's all live well." "I walked out of the door in a few steps, and only gave me a lonely back.
The next morning, I learned that Lao Lin had been busy all night, and transferred a batch of equipment from the provincial capital Shenyang overnight, looking at the miner's lamps distributed to my hands, I secretly complained that the unfathomable cave exploration was about to start again, although I knew that only by gritting my teeth and continuing could I completely relieve myself, but the feeling of panic was still dispelled.
This is the first time I have entered the hanging basket, the feeling of slowly descending is like taking an old and slow sightseeing elevator, the speed of the winch on the cliff is very stable, but the hanging wire rope noose is also a soft connection, the longer it is down, the more violent the shaking from side to side, it is still a little scary, I am embarrassed to be afraid in front of the silent, I pretend to chat with her, and I have been paying attention to the height of Gao Tong shouted "OK" to the walkie-talkie, I was really relieved.
