The archaeologist sighed, and said to Xiao Wu and me with some uncertainty: "That may be Peng." It is recorded in Zhuangzi's getaway that Peng Zhi migrated to the south of the underworld, and the water hit 3,000 li, and the one who swayed up was 90,000 li. I didn't expect to meet this thing here. ”

Hearing archaeologists say this, my brain is a little short-circuited, and I can meet all these legendary things. The last time I met Kun in the Three-Phase Tomb, I met Peng this time, I really don't know if it's my luck or bad luck.

When Xiao Wu next to him heard that thing turned out to be Peng, he let out an exclamation, obviously more surprised than me. Fortunately, I have the experience of being in the ancient tomb last time, and now I don't show surprise when I see something, even if I am surprised.

"Teacher, didn't you say that Pengzhi's back, I don't know how many thousands of miles it is, why is the big bird I saw just now, even if it spreads its wings, it is only ten meters long." In Xiao Wu's impression, Peng is the kind of species that can cover the sky and the sun when it spreads its wings.

Actually, I had this idea before, but after meeting Na Kun in the Three-Phase Tomb, I no longer believed in the exaggeration in those articles. Kun is so big that it doesn't have thousands of miles. Then this Pengzhi back, it is normal not to have thousands of miles.

When the archaeologist heard Xiao Wu ask, his face became serious and said to Xiao Wu: "How many times have I told you, what is said in some articles is not true." In our line of work, we must be rigorous and based on facts. At present, the largest fossil of ancient creatures found in the archaeological community is only a few tens of meters long, how can there be thousands of miles. ”

Xiao Wu, who was taught by the archaeologist, said to him with a red face and a low head like a primary school student: "Teacher, I was wrong, and I won't be in the future." ”

Xiao Wu is like this, I want to laugh when I see it. But the archaeologist nodded slightly with a serious face, and said that Xiao Wu said: "It's good to know that it's wrong, and you must remember it clearly in the future." ”

Kong Sanye was over there, and he really couldn't stand the two of them like this, so he said: "You master and apprentice don't come to that set, and don't look at when and where you are now." When you go back, you can do whatever you like. ”

At this time, the two of them realized that this place had just been attacked, and several people had died, and the stumps and severed arms on the ground were still on the side.

I didn't talk to Xiao Wu and the archaeologist again, I walked directly to Kong Sanye and asked him, "Kong Sanye, what should we do next?" ”

Kong Sanye looked at the sky, there was still some time before dawn. Glancing at the situation in this room, it is definitely impossible to stay, so we can only take the two of them back to where we were just now.

Those two people were already a little afraid of Kong Sanye, and Kong Sanye has been keeping a straight face since he came here. So when Kong Sanye said that he wanted to take them away, they didn't dare to say a word and followed us directly. Both of them also know that if they don't follow us now, it may be difficult to survive, and sometimes the more people there are, the greater the probability of survival.

Before leaving, Kong Sanye ordered to pick up the backpacks of those dead people and take them with them. I understand the intention of Kong Sanye's order, those people must have food in their backpacks, sometimes, these things can save lives, last time in that ancient tomb, I deeply experienced.

But Xiao Wu and the archaeologist didn't seem to be reluctant, they always felt that those things that were not theirs were disrespectful to the deceased. Kong Sanye scolded the old stubbornness again, picked up the backpack directly from the ground and threw it into the hands of Xiao Wu and the archaeologist, and then walked back with a flashlight.

I looked at the two people who were struggling, and didn't speak, but followed in the footsteps of Kong Sanye and went out. They don't know the importance of food, but I do.

Not long after I left, there were footsteps from behind, and it was supposed the two of them following. I turned around and called the flashlight back, and saw that both of them didn't look very good, but the backpack that Kong Sanye threw at them was not thrown down, and it was still in his hand. I was also relieved to see this.

Back in the open-air room we were, the fire was extinguished. I didn't rekindle a fire there either, but started a bunch in a different place. Then he went to the nearby tree and pulled a large pile of leaves, spread them on the ashes that had been extinguished, and motioned for the archaeologist to lie down and sleep there for a while.

Xiao Wu watched me busy and put down my backpack to help, but I didn't know where to help, and it always seemed cramped to stand there.

"Xiao Wu, Kong Sanye and your teacher are both old, and there is still some time to dawn, let them sleep, and then we will keep vigil." I patted Xiao Wu, who was a little nervous, and looked at what Kong Sanye and the archaeologist said to him over there.

Since Kong Sanye came back, he has been lying in the place where he slept just now, and he has not said a word. Seeing that Kong Sanye's face was wrong, no one dared to touch the moldy head.

After everything was done, Xiao Wu and I sat by the fire. Kong Sanye and the archaeologist were old, and they tossed and turned for half the night at night, and they were already asleep at this time.

I sat there and suddenly felt so bored. It would be nice if the big head was there, he could always find a lot to say, and this Xiao Wu, just a piece of wood, sat with me for a long time, and didn't even say a word.

I took out a piece of pot and helmet bun from my bag, broke it open and handed half of it to Xiao Wu, and I took the other half to eat. After Xiao Wu took it, he just said "thank you", and ate it in small bites, looking at the appearance of eating, he turned out to be shy.

"Xiao Wu, where did you go to school, what grade are you in this year?" Looking at Xiao Wu's appearance, I knew that if I didn't take the initiative to ask, he would definitely not take the initiative to talk to me. But now that there are still a few hours before dawn, it is easy to get sleepy if you sit there and don't speak.

"I go to school in a provincial town, and I'm a senior this year." There was no superfluous word, and he really answered what I asked.

"Then where is your hometown, do you have any brothers and sisters in the family, why did you follow the teacher here?" I'm not interested in this Xiao Wu, I want to inquire about something, I'm just just bored, I want to chat with him casually and pass the time.

Xiao Wu's family is from Shaanxi, but it is in northern Shaanxi, no wonder his accent is heavier, and many of them are post-nasal. He was the only one in the family, because his parents were also teachers, so in order to respond to the call for family planning, he didn't dare to have more children.

Since he graduated soon, their major is not popular, but he usually has a good relationship with the teacher, so this time I have the opportunity to bring him out for a long time, which can also be regarded as an internship. If the internship passes, the teacher can directly recommend him to the Provincial History Museum, which can be regarded as an iron rice bowl.

As I slowly chatted more and more, Xiao Wu's nature began to leak out, maybe I was also a young man, so I also let go. At this time, I found that Xiao Wu's personality was also cheerful, and he began to take the initiative to talk about the process of this trip.

It turned out that before Xiao Wu came here, he went with the teacher to meet those in charge. It was two archaeologists talking, and he was just listening. I heard that something that may have been found here may be from the pre-Qin period, but I am not sure, so I did not report it, and I wanted two archaeologists to help confirm it.

And at that time, the person in charge paid them very well, saying that as long as they could confirm what age it was, it would be fine, and there would not be too much danger. At first, the two archaeologists were still skeptical that the purpose of these people was to steal national treasures, or rob tombs or something. But then they saw the two leaders eating with local officials, and they were relieved.

Xiao Wu said that he was only a senior student, and the person in charge there didn't want to bring him with him, but it was his teacher's strong recommendation that he had the qualifications to come over this time, but the remuneration was halved. Although it is half the salary, that number can still fight the heart of this senior student.

I know how much the halving will be. At that time, when I met the person in charge surnamed Ma outside, my remuneration was halved at the beginning, which was a lot of money.

"Then do you remember, what the person in charge looked like at that time?" I was very curious about this mysterious force, so I wanted to know more, so I asked Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu thought about it very hard, and then said with some uncertainty: "At that time, there seemed to be two people in charge, an old one and a younger one. The old one had a goatee, and the young one had a full beard. ”

When I heard Xiao Wu say goatee, the first thing that came to my mind was Uncle Zheng. Since Zheng Wen did not die in the three-phase tomb, it is very likely that Uncle Zheng will also come out. The old one has a goatee, and the younger one has a full beard, and this combination feels like Uncle Zheng and Zheng Wen.

"Do you know anything else, like what they're called?" Now I want to know more to determine if those two people are Uncle Zheng and Zheng Wen.

"It's not very clear, but they seem to know the local officials well. The official called the old man Uncle Zheng. Xiao Wu thought for a long time before he said to me.

Uncle Zheng, when I heard this title, my hand trembled slightly, although I was a little excited in my heart, but on the surface, I didn't leak anything, and I didn't let Xiao Wu see anything.

The Uncle Zheng that Xiao Wu said in his mouth should be Uncle Zheng, I didn't expect him and Zheng Wen to be the person in charge of this operation, it seems that Uncle Zheng's status in that mysterious force is not low, but why didn't he come this time?

Seeing that I was thinking about the problem, Xiao Wu also stopped talking, and it was a little cold for a while, only the pile of firewood was still frothing.

"Xiao Wu, are you afraid?" I suddenly turned to him and asked, my eyes glued to him, carefully observing the expression on his face, wondering what was really going on in his heart.

Hearing my question, Xiao Wu was also stunned for a moment, but soon he understood what I was asking. And after hearing my question, Xiao Wu's body obviously began to tremble a little.

"To say that you are not afraid is false. Just now, I almost died. Xiao Wu tried hard to calm himself down, but his trembling body and hands showed his inner thoughts together.

The senior student, the pride of the sky, is deeply loved by the teacher, and he is about to serve an iron rice bowl, who is not envious of him outside. But in the past two days, I have experienced life and death farewells again and again, and I am in danger of dying at any time. On the next road, I don't know what accidents will happen, maybe if you are not careful, you will have to stay here forever.

"Have you ever thought about going back?" I broke off a stick, put it in my mouth, leaned back against the wall, looked at the sky, and asked Xiao Wu beside me.

"I thought about it, and now I want to go home. I'm the only child at home, and if something happens to me, I don't know what will happen to my family, and I feel distressed when I think of that scene. As Xiao Wu spoke, his eyes were already filled with tears.

Speaking of my family, I thought of Brother Li's family when I went to Sichuan, as well as those who died digging rivers. Xiao Wu is the only child in the family, if something happens this time, how should their family live, I feel blocked when I think about it. At this moment, I am particularly envious of Brother Li and his family in the village outside the mountain, although the simple life is not rich, but they are very happy.
