The next day, after moving the sarcophagus, Lu Kun found another coffin under the sarcophagus, which contained a pair of white bones, but it had been broken due to age. In addition to this, there are many traces of unidentified objects, and after examination, it was determined that the traces of the material that existed in the coffin along with the bones were salt, a large amount of salt.

After discovering these, Lu Kun's eyes couldn't help but turn to Xu Bai again.

Xu Bai quickly understood, hooked his lips and smiled faintly at him.

Because Xu Baixia's remarks before the tomb have all been confirmed......

In the tent ten kilometers away from the station, Xu Bai held the tea in both hands, sighed and asked curiously: "Brother Kun, this tomb owner is so strange. Why did he put so much salt in the coffin, could it be that his descendants wanted to marinate him into an old piece of bacon? ”

Lu Kun's hand holding the pen paused, and he almost burst out laughing.

He tilted his head: "During the period of Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty, salt was changed from a monopoly to a tax. This system continued until the early Sui and Tang dynasties, so salt was taxed like other commodities at that time. In order to evade the city tax, many merchants have become quite secretive in the place where salt is stored. The times have given rise to a class of people, and the name of this type of person is "Salt Merchant". So this tomb is supposed to be the tomb of a salt merchant, and from an emotional point of view, it is not surprising that salt was hidden in a coffin after death. From the burial goods in the tomb, it is not difficult to find that the owner of the tomb did not belong to the elite among the salt merchants. However, this tomb is relatively well preserved, and for local tombs, it is already a large tomb with high local regulations. ”

"I see." Xu Bai took another sip of tea, his cheeks puffed up slightly, and his melon seed face instantly filled into a bun, which was really cute.

Lu Kun couldn't help but look at it twice, the corners of his mouth unconsciously hooked, his gaze reluctantly left Xu Bai's face, and he re-grasped the pen and wrote something.

Many people don't know that the work of going down to the tomb is not the most tedious, and the really tedious work is actually in the later stage.

Each unearthed cultural relic must be cleaned up through several processes, and the broken fragments must be repaired and restored one by one. Objects of great research value are likely to remain in the hands of archaeologists for a long time. Not only that, but work reports and academic research papers are even more headaches. Therefore, some tombs lasted at least a few years from the beginning of the excavation to the end.

Xu Bai looked at him quietly, and the edge of the teacup slowly touched his lips.

On the third night, Lu Kun was drunk and returned to the tent drunk, and began to arrange his clothes.

Xu Bai approached: "Do you want to come back tomorrow after returning to Hebei City?" ”

Lu Kun said: "The master asked me to go back to the archaeological institute, and the IOU of the cultural relics has been ready, and some work needs to be completed in the institute." The tents will not be dismantled, and the armed police in the vicinity will continue to be stationed, and they will have to come back if necessary. ”

Xu Bai stretched: "I can finally live in a tent, every time I want to go to the toilet, I have to get up and run back, and it's not convenient to take a bath." ”

Lu Kun said casually: "This kind of condition is actually very good. ”

Xu Bai held his face, rested his elbows on the small table, and asked lightly, "What was the worst condition you have ever experienced?" ”

Lu Kun unconsciously murmured, "The worst...... Every day hovers on the brink of death. ”

Xu Bai was shocked: "Is it because there is no food?" ”

Lu Kun said: "There is food. ”

But it's scarier than nothing.

Cat and dog food became the only food he could choose to eat or not to eat.

Xu Bai asked again: "Do you have water to drink?" ”

Lu Kun said: "There is water. ”

But every time, it is only when life is about to run out that you can drink a sip of really clean water.

In such an environment, survival or dignity has repeatedly become a profound proposition that challenges human nature.

With his back to Xu Bai, when he calmly answered the questions, his eyes dimmed again and again.

Xu Bai wrinkled his eyebrows: "At least there is food and water, why are you worried about your life being threatened?" ”

Lu Kun zipped up his suitcase, stood up, sat on the floor and rubbed his temples, and said in a deep voice: "The most terrible thing is not that there is no food and water, but that a person's willpower has been seriously damaged. In a difficult environment, if you gradually lose the will to survive, you will no longer have the capital to compete with it. ”

Hearing this, Xu Bai already faintly felt that Lu Kun was alluding to the very likely experience in Waterloo City. She asked him many times, but Lu Kun refused to answer, and even made it clear that he would not take the initiative to tell her about that experience.

And tonight, the prompting of alcohol and Xu Bai's calm guidance seemed to be infiltrating Lu Kun's hidden secrets.

Xu Bai was faintly excited in his heart, his slender body left the small table, walked to Lu Kun and squatted down, and asked intelligently and indifferently: "Brother Kun, have you lost the will to survive?" ”

Lu Kun's eyes were closed, and the action of rubbing his temples continued.

He didn't even realize that a girl had crept up closer, prostrate in front of his mental defenses, ready to make a move.

Lu Kun didn't say a word, and several long, deep sighs welled up from his tall nose.

A bag bulged out from the center of his eyebrows, in the shape of a hill.

Many times, Lu Kun recalls the events of those two years, often vague and trance, profound and clear, in a state of extreme contradiction and antagonism.

Imagine when all of his communication sessions could only be completed in a luxurious home full of floor-to-ceiling glass. There is no internet, no water, no electricity, and you can't go out at all. Because every side of the glass in that house is bulletproof.

He could easily watch the sun rise in the east and fall west in the same trajectory.

Every night, he was like a blind man.

Wearing a high-priced custom shirt, he could only look at the stars outside the glass window in a daze. I miss my hometown and family, and I also miss the girl I love silently in my heart.

Every morning at 10 a.m., he can use his phone for five minutes, but basically when someone is watching.

He can tell his friends and family who are far away from home about his residence.

In that house, he received Lu Bainian and Hu Xuanmei, as well as a few friends who came to see him.

Usually at such a meeting, a man pretending to be Lu Kun's friend would join in in a friendly manner, praising Lu Kun's intelligence and talent to these people.

He couldn't ask for help from friends and relatives who came to visit him.

Because the moment he opened his mouth to ask for help, these relatives and friends would never have the opportunity to leave the glass house with hidden mysteries.

So he could only talk and laugh with acquaintances easily, pretending that he was living here like a fish in water, glamorous and decent.

He continued to warm his lips to these unwitting family and friends, hiding all the fear and despair in his heart, and then sending them away generously and naturally.

The reason for such a passive situation is the damn mudslide......

Lu Kun was frightened by some fragments that quickly floated in his mind, and the moment he opened his eyes, Xu Bai's beautiful face was very close to him.

The alcohol completely began to work, and the two big hands immediately grabbed Xu Bai's shoulders and lifted them fiercely.

She was lifted to the top and lay on her back.

Lu Kun rolled over, half of his body pressed lightly on her.

His eyes are dark and blurry, and there is a strong ** hidden in it.

Xu Bai looked at his sharp eyes, bit his lip and said, "Is tomorrow okay?" ”

Lu Kun had a smile in his drunken eyes.

He said, "Okay." ”

Xu Bai breathed a sigh of relief.

It stands to reason that she had no reason to refuse her husband's reasonable request.

It's just that this time is different from the past, and she hopes that this kind of deep relationship can happen in a better environment.

Unexpectedly, Lu Kun raised his hand to look at his watch, and after reading it, his fingers gently picked the sheets a few times: "It's 11:30 at night, and there are still 30 minutes until tomorrow." Those 30 minutes are enough for me to do something else to you. ”

Xu Bai Yileng.

In the next second, the mouth was already covered by the man's alcohol-stained lips.

——

In a small town, in an old house.

Li Chunxiang had already fallen asleep tiredly after a stormy and gentle invasion.

A few days ago, Lu Yueping got married and easily handed over the rest of his life to a woman who was 'just suitable'.

The banquet was scheduled for the month after Lu Jiaying's wedding.

In the silence of the night, he didn't know why he was suddenly restless.

Sitting alone in the living room, drinking, smoking, until the already small living room was smoky, and the air was mixed with the smell of liquor, which was so bad that it seemed to be masochistic with every breath.

His big rough hand held a sharp military thorn about fifteen centimeters long.

The sharp end of the military thorn was plunged by Lu Yueping into the apple on the table with rotten marks the size of a silver coin.

He picked out the carrion of the apple with a single sword, and half of the apple entered his mouth in one bite, and a minute later he had only one apple core left in his hand.

Lu Yueping squinted his eyes and glanced at the trash can two meters away, knock, accurately.

Then he pulled out his phone and stared at a text message from a week ago for a full ten minutes.

The content above is: Third, the archaeological team has been looking for the cultural relics that disappeared overnight, and they have never given up in the past ten years. I don't care what method you use, you can't let Xu Bai and Lu Kun get mixed up, this is my death order for you!

Lu Yueping's reply was: She is very beautiful, I seem to like her a little.

The other party's reply was: Don't touch her, you don't deserve it!

Lu Yueping's hand clenched the mobile phone, moved his neck a few times, his bones rattled, and every muscle in his back protruded and tensed.

With his head tilted, his eyes were cold, and he scraped off the ugly tattoo on his waist one by one, until his flesh was blurred......
