Chapter 22: A Blessing or a Curse
The beams of light fell chaotically on the man and woman who had broken up for many years before they had time to fall in love.
Lu Kun's feelings for her are not complicated.
Sometimes even he can't figure out whether the years that Xu Bai appeared in his life were a blessing or a curse.
Seeing that Xu Bai was silent, he lowered his head and touched her lips and repeated it vaguely.
It's too sultry to fall for granted.
Xu Bai turned his head and refused to be kissed by him again.
The next morning, the sky was bright.
The warm and simple villagers are about to start a busy day again.
In her sleep, she faintly heard two not-so-young voices talking in dialect, laughing.
Xu Bai was woken up by laughter.
The drawings that were placed in front of the table last night also turned into pieces, and then were crumpled into a ball by Lu Kun and thrown in the trash.
He was no longer in the tent.
Xu Bai went out to wash with the basin, and there were towels and cups with toothbrushes and toothpaste in the basin.
She walked out, greeted the SWAT on duty, and gave the same kind smile to some of the village women who were about to go to the river to wash their clothes with a big red basin.
After walking a path, Xu Bai walked to the well.
Lu Kun stood in front of the well.
A faint morning mist was enveloping him.
There was no sign of sunlight at this time, so he was shirtless and wearing trousers, and quickly poured his body with well water, which was colder than tap water.
"You're not cold?" Xu Bai asked.
"Make do." Lu Kun smiled.
——
A few days later, due to a temporary change in the excavation area, the interns were sent back to school early and other notices.
Liang Dong will come to the village on time every day with everyone from the archaeological institute and the Cultural Relics Bureau, and continue to clean up and analyze the caves.
At noon, everyone ate a big pot of rice at the village chief's house.
A crowd gathered around the table, and no one sat on a stool. Because the dining table is really not big, everyone stands at the table, or simply picks up a few chopsticks and dishes and goes to the courtyard to squat and eat.
The chicken was fed by the village chief himself, the vegetables were pulled directly from the ground, and the big pot of firewood was very fragrant whether it was cooking or cooking, and he also took out the rice wine stuffed with grain to entertain everyone, and soon became familiar with the people of the archaeological team.
He took a bite to eat and asked Lu Kun curiously: "Little master, is there really an old tomb under the ground in our village?" ”
Lu Kun was the only one who hadn't eaten yet.
Liang Dong asked him to go to the town hospital to bandage it, but Lu Kun refused, so Liang Dong had to find medical gauze from a villager in the village that might have expired for a long time and handed it to Lu Kun.
When the village chief asked him, he was rolling up his arms and rinsing the wound on his arm with a bottle of mineral water.
Lu Kun had determined that there was a tomb underneath, and the most direct reason was that he had not told anyone for years, including a group of researchers.
He smiled and said, "It's not unlikely." ”
The village chief laughed and wrinkled: "Alas, in the end, it is to learn one line and eat one line of food." Before you dig up the coffin, you can know where the goods are in the ground. I knew that I had asked my son to study archaeology at that time. Isn't it a fortune to dig up a baby? ”
"It seems that ordinary people have a great misunderstanding of our profession." Lu Kun put down the bottle, pulled out the gauze from the plastic bag, and grabbed one end and wrapped it around his arm.
The village chief scratched his head: "Is it different to dig treasure?" ”
With a tear, Lu Kun tore the gauze on the other end in two with his mouth, and his eyes were piercing: "Archaeologists don't buy and sell antiquities, they don't privately identify antiquities for commercial purposes, and they don't hide any antiquities at home if they dig up." ”
The village chief pursed his lips: "I don't believe you experts, you don't have a single treasure at home." ”
