The old friend bluntly said, when the rescue was in danger, and entrusted with the important task of exploring the giant mound of the King of Qin, I was inconvenient to shirk, and happened to go back to Nanjing to deal with the headache of the unlucky lawsuit, so I secretly understood the relevant historical legends in general: the ancestors of the Qin people are the descendants of the Oriental Bird, and according to legend, the ancestors are born of the emperor's daughter (the grandson of the emperor) swallowing swallow eggs, so the worship of birds by the Qin people is extraordinary. After the great cause of the grandson Boyi, to help Yu water control meritorious service, praised by Emperor Shun, given the surname "Ying", "Ying" in the oracle bone inscription and the shape of the bird, more illustrative of the deep influence of the bird on the Qin people. After the Qin people did not go west, they derived the worship of the heavenly wolf. Among them, the flying dragon totem with wolf head and phoenix wings is regarded as a symbol of strength and longevity, and has become one of the earliest recorded Qin totems.

At that time, I never imagined that such a small legend would become a key point in our journey.

The beginning of the story has to start from the night we left Fuxian Lake to rest in Jiangcheng. Xiao Zhao, the waiter in the stilted building, was very impressed with us, and without saying a word, he forced a vacant room to come out for a few of us to rest. We have been trapped on the lake for many days, and the dry food brought by Lin Fang has not had any oil and water, and the old men have long been hungry. I asked Xiao Zhao to put all the meat in the store up, and it was swept away in the blink of an eye. After eating, the fat man shouted that he was not strong enough, and ran to the kitchen to take a large plate of air-dried meat. Xiao Zhao's eyes were about to fall, and he hurriedly asked us where we came from and why we were so hungry.

I was anxious to grab meat from the fat man, waved my chopsticks and said, "It's a long story, it doesn't matter if you don't know." Is Dr. Lin still around? Uncle Tie, are they back? ”

"Dr. Lin is a busy man, and he has long since left." He made us a pot of tea, sat down and said, "Uncle Tie's team just drove from here three days ago, and I heard that there is a big deal going to the north. What's the matter, Boss Hu also has goods to leave? ”

I had been worried about Uncle Ah Tie and them before, but now that I know that they have regrouped, I am relieved, and I casually talked about what I have seen and heard in recent days, and sent him out.

The fat man wiped a handful of oil from his mouth, patted his stomach and said, "Oh mom, as the saying goes, people are iron, rice is steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry." Break your fingers and calculate, I shouldn't have been stained with meat for a week, but it makes me want to die. ”

Wang Dashao competed with chopsticks on the side, and he didn't even clip a piece of shredded meat for a long time. The four eyes chuckled lukewarmly, causing Wang Dashao to almost smash the plate and smash people. I hurriedly went up to round the field for him, deliberately pulled the topic away and said, "Since everyone is full of food and drink and has strength, is it time to talk about the topic." Lin Fang, is the submarine project you mentioned reliable? Don't be a sugar-coated shell of US imperialism. ”

Lin Fang didn't answer my question directly, she turned her face to Shirley Yang and smiled: "This old Hu, I don't buy anyone's account except you, so let's talk about it." ”

Shirley Yang coughed a little, and then said to me: "Do you remember that when there was a farewell party in Chinatown, there was an American colonel who came to find Second Master Xue, that was Lin Fang's immediate boss, Mr. Smith, this project was initiated by him, and Lin Fang recommended to him that you and I go to catch knives." ”

Without waiting for her to finish explaining, Wang Qingzheng came up and rushed to say: "My old man has been staring at this project for a long time, if it wasn't for a problem on the way, it wouldn't be your turn to interfere." Ugly words ahead, Young Master Ben is ready to fight a protracted battle, don't hold me back. ”

I said, "I made it very clear at the beginning, and I didn't have any interest in it. It's not good for everyone if you're stalking like this. ”

"It happened suddenly, judging from the unearthed cultural relics we currently have, the one on the bottom of the sea is just a clothed mound, and the main owner is not in it at all, but fortunately, there are clues left in the tomb. I'm here to keep up with this project. ”

I was amazed: "When you were on the lake, didn't you say that you were going to support the Rausch subsea project?" Why did you change your mind again? ”

Lin Fang shook his head and said, "It happened suddenly, and I couldn't explain it at the time. As she spoke, she took out a stack of tightly wrapped kraft paper from her bag and threw it in front of me, "What should be seen and what shouldn't be seen is here, Boss Hu, you are a smart person, I won't say much about some things, you can understand it when you see it." ”

When she said this, I was under a lot of psychological pressure, first picked up the cowhide bag, and then threw it down, I asked Shirley Yang with a bitter face: "Can we not watch it?" ”

She shrugged her shoulders helplessly, and the fat man pushed me away, tore open the paper bag, and scolded: "When is it, like a girl, the road to making a fortune is just around the corner, your mother-in-law is a fart!" ”

As the saying goes, "there is no turning back arrow when you open the bow", since the bag has been torn, I don't look at it without looking at it, I pulled a few pieces of the text and found that they were all copies of the text, and I wanted to come here There are a lot of things that are made out by Xue Erye, which looks like regular script. I'm not good at these academic things, so I just glanced at them and rolled them over. At this time, a yellowed drawing caught my eye, and I always felt that I had seen this thing somewhere. The fat man leaned over, looked at it and said, "Isn't it just a soil dog, what's so strange?" ”

Lin Fang frowned and said, "Why, you don't know this thing either?" -
