Lu Fan, who was carrying a heavy military bag, was covered in stinky sweat and finally squeezed out of the train. The round face, shiny and oily, and even with some stolen goods that I don't know where to rub, the whole person looks dirty and smelly, plus a gray and a little old mountaineering clothes, so that several passengers who followed the bus were reluctant to get too close, and took a detour.

This is a small station near the Taihang Mountains, and there are not many people who get off the train on the way. Lu Fan, who had made a few trips all the way from the capital, was full of fatigue from a long journey, and took a few puffs of freshly lit cigarettes on the platform, so that his swollen mind was a little clearer.

The black yoyo eyes were still a little smart, and he turned around, and found that the backs of the pedestrians at the next station were about to disappear, so he hurriedly threw away the cigarette butt in his hand, picked up the military bag weighing dozens of pounds again, and chased after him quickly.

As an ordinary archaeologist who has just joined the work, Lu Fan can receive such a notice, and he doesn't know whether Lu Dao is lucky or unlucky.

Originally, he was still staying in a small museum in the capital, cleaning up some unimportant antiquities and reading newspapers every day. After dinner, I listened to several seniors of a department, often boasting in front of him that they had experienced several large-scale archaeological activities in the past, and how wonderful the scene was.

This makes him envious at the same time, and he has to often smoke and pour tea for him, in order to be able to make them foam at the mouth and show off, even if he knows that these predecessors are going to do chores, and to do the work, it is difficult to distinguish the truth from the falsehood of what is said in the mouth, and there are only many exaggerated ingredients.

Even so, as a hobby of archaeology since childhood, he can still listen to it with relish, as if he is there, and enjoy it.

The original daily dull but comfortable life was broken by a received courier one morning. After opening the package, it turned out to be an invitation to the archaeology of caves in the Taihang Mountains! It is also written by a well-known expert from the Department of Archaeology of Peking University.

This made him very excited in his heart at the same time, but he was also full of doubts, until he saw another letter sandwiched inside, and he understood the ins and outs of the shit luck from the sky.

It turned out that it was a friend in his dormitory who had little contact after graduating from college, and when he participated in this cave archaeology, he accidentally broke his thigh, and he was worried that after he recovered from his injury, he would no longer have a place to live in the archaeological team he was in, so he took the initiative to ask the team leader for such an invitation letter.

Of course, there are also some of the former friends who have been in bed with him, who have missed him for several years, and who hope to get his helping hand, and are grateful for tears......

I don't know how this powerful friend can find out his current unwillingness, and how much he hopes in his heart to break this too ordinary life.

Even if he knew that this bad friend was for his own interests, and planned to use Lu Fan, who was originally famous in the same dormitory, he would not refuse such an offer.

This made Lu Fan smile bitterly at his status in the eyes of his classmates and friends, but he still called as soon as possible, and after condolences for his injury, he also swore and promised.

Then I immediately rushed back to the unit to take a long vacation, and found out in my residence that after graduating from college, I was stuffed at the bottom of the box and no one cared about the old clothes, and hurriedly embarked on today's journey.

Walking out of the station, not far from the side of the road, there were people dragging cattle and horses, with white cloth tied on their foreheads, shouting around for the few passengers who passed by.

This made Lu Fan feel like he had traveled to ancient times, but if he was to take those brutes in the car, he would not do it if he was killed.

I was about to find a relatively advanced agricultural three-wheeled truck, but out of the corner of my eye, I saw a middle-aged man in his early thirties, holding a piece of cardboard with the word "Lu Fan" written on it, and looking around at the search for people with a dark and simple square face.

Lu Fan, who originally thought that he was going to rush to the ravine by himself, saw that the archaeological team still had someone to pick him up, which made him feel proud, and he hurriedly took three steps and two steps and rushed to the middle-aged man.

"I'm Lu Fan...... Is this big brother from the archaeological team? ”

Seeing a baby-faced middle-aged man who suddenly popped up and looked simple, he looked at him from top to bottom, and with a questioning voice in his mouth, he asked, "You are Lu Fan?" Don't look like a museum researcher, so old? ”…,

These words made Lu Fan embarrassed for a while, and his round face even brought a flush, but fortunately, after sitting on the train for three days in a row, his face was dirty and oily, so that people would not find out his embarrassment.

I couldn't help but wonder how that classmate bragged to the members of the archaeological team, a researcher at the museum? That's a bit of, isn't it?

Hurriedly took out the invitation letter from his backpack and landed it in the hands of the middle-aged man.

"This big brother, I'm Lu Fan, it's like a fake. It's just that he looks a little younger, hehe......" while scratching his head helplessly, looking a little embarrassed, this can't blame him, right? Who asked his parents to give him a round face, causing him to always look a few years younger than his peers, and since college, he has been directly ignored by his female classmates......

The middle-aged man examined the invitation for a long time before finally stretching out his sturdy palm and shaking hands with Lu Fan to welcome him.

The roughness of the hand made Lu Fan's palm tingle slightly, glanced at the black and yellow lumpy calluses, and compared himself, which was relatively white and tender palm, and suddenly felt very embarrassed, people looked like they were working on the front line of archaeology all year round, which was like themselves......

"Comrade Lu Fan, welcome to join the archaeological team. My name is Wang Bin, and I am from the logistics team of the team, and I am ...... soon! Hurry up and get in the car with me, otherwise it will be dark when you get to the eagle fall cliff, where the mountain road is too tortuous, and it is very unsafe to drive at night. ”

After speaking, he planned to help Lu Fan carry the military bag that weighed dozens of pounds, which made Lu Fan hurriedly snatch it over, but he was still full of gratitude to this simple and enthusiastic brother Wang in his heart.

The two quickened their pace and walked over to a green open-top jeep covered in mud. After Lu Fan sat down, Wang Bin skillfully started the jeep, bypassed the ancient ox carts and carriages of the mountain people in the station square, and headed all the way towards the mountains looming in front of him.

The prosperity of the town behind is gradually drifting away. In a short time, the jeep was already on a muddy road, and four-wheel drive tires ran over the road, kicking up a cloud of yellow dust behind the car.

And the green mountains and mountains in front of you, the green streams and green waters, make people can't help but feel relaxed. Lu Fan, who has lived in the city for a long time, suddenly felt a sense of rustic freshness, which made the originally tired mood relax a lot.

Enjoying the primitive style of nature all the way, and chatting with Wang Bin was also eager, and after a while, the two were almost to the point of being called brothers.

"Brother Wang, junior brother, how could he be careless to the point of breaking his leg? Speaking of which, he turned out to be a top sports student in our school. ”

"Little brother, don't say brother scaring you, the place we went to is called the Eagle Falling Cliff, according to legend, even the eagle has to fall down, the terrain there is very dangerous, your classmate is lucky, but he slipped into a shallow ditch, but he was also hit by the rocks in the ditch and broke his leg."

From the mouth of this big brother Wang, I learned that his classmate was also a right-hand man in front of well-known professors, and was very valued by professors. He didn't want to delay Professor Xu's archaeological process because of this injury, so he recommended Lu Fan, who graduated together, to be the professor's assistant.

It is important to know the role of the assistant of the Dao Dao, which is already old, for Professor Xu. Many professors can't go to places by themselves, so they need young, strong, and knowledgeable assistants to go in and help them investigate.

As the steep bends of the mountain road became more and more, the jeep had penetrated deep into the lofty mountains of the Taihang Mountains, and the evening sky made the vision darker and darker.

The speed of the jeep driven by Wang Bin slowed down a lot, even so, every time he crossed a corner, looking at the tires next to the car, it seemed that half of them were already outside the cliff, which made Lu Fan break out in a cold sweat, and chanted Amitabha Buddha in his mouth one after another......

In the mountains in the distance, a few wisps of smoke rose, and Wang Bin told Lu Fan that this was where the archaeological team's camp was located. After a while, the jeep bent into a deep valley closed on three sides, and several round tents appeared in Lu Fan's sight, surrounded by people who were busy cleaning up the excavated debris, and when they heard the sound of the jeep's motor, they cheered and surrounded them.

This move made Lu Fan really think that he was so popular, and he was about to express his honor. It turned out that as soon as the crowd arrived in front of the car, they all rushed to open the material bag behind the car, so that he understood that Wang Bin was responsible for picking him up at the same time, and also had the important task of purchasing food for the entire archaeological team, which made his originally raised hands have to be quietly put down while people were not paying attention. …,

He was showing an embarrassed look for his mistake, and at some point, an old man with white hair and a thin face stood in front of him, leaning on crutches, and smiling kindly at him. The pair of worldly eyes looked at themselves for a while, and nodded slowly.

Wang Bin, who was still distributing food next to him, also found the old man next to the car at this time, and hurriedly pushed Lu Fan's waist with his hand before he said, "Hello Professor Xu!" ”

Belch...... The old man in front of him is Professor Xu? This made Lu Fan's brain almost short-circuit, presumably his embarrassment just now had all fallen into the eyes of the professor.

Hurriedly straightened up and said shyly: "Hello professor!" ”

"Huh...... Presumably you are the Lu Fan of Daoming, right? Yes, the lad is quite clever. He turned his head and said to Wang Bin: "Wang Bin, it's been hard all the way, wait for you to arrange Lu Fan's accommodation, let him rest early, and he will have to go into the cave tomorrow morning to investigate."

"That's good, Professor Xu!"

When Professor Xu turned around and left on crutches, Lu Fan complained to Wang Bin beside him: "Why didn't you talk to my little brother earlier, I died just now......

"Ha Luha, don't worry, brother. The professor is very good......" Wang Bin patted Lu Fan's shoulder and comforted him with a smile.

In the early morning of the next day, Lu Fan, who was woken up by the wake-up bell, hurriedly freshened up, and followed everyone all the way to the entrance of a huge cave in the deepest part of the valley, which was illuminated by miner's lamps.

Having just squeezed out most of his body from the crowd, Lu Fan was already deeply shocked by the picture of the cave in front of him.

The illuminated walls of the cave are full of patterns drawn by the ancients with white lime. The vivid pictographic patterns and the wonderful content depicted made Lu Fan feel that he had learned well in archaeology in recent years.
