Lu Kun and Xu Bai followed their mentor and Liang Dong to the station of the excavation area.

The tutor sat at a desk, silent, and his whole face showed disappointment with Lu Kun.

Xu Bai tightened his eyebrows and glanced at Lu Kun beside him.

He held his hands on an underground drawing, his back slightly bent, and his concentration was terrifying.

On the left side of the drawing is a floor plan, on the right side is a section view, and there are many keywords next to it.

The picture was drawn by other archaeologists, and its level of detail surprised Xu Bai.

In the next classroom, there are many archaeologists discussing and analyzing in another corner.

After a quarter of an hour, Lu Kun straightened his back and said, "When was the detonator discovered?" ”

The tutor didn't answer, he took a cigarette on Erlang's leg and glared at Lu Kun fiercely.

"The day before yesterday." Liang Dong said: "When we cleaned the deflector, we found that it was inserted in the runner. ”

Lu Kun asked: "The specific location of the detonator was found." ”

Liang Dong said: "At the end of the drainage channel, it is connected to a virtual mound under the excavation area. ”

At this time, Xu Bai asked with some curiosity: "What is a void mound." ”

Liang Dong said: "It is a fake grave, which is piled up with stones to hide people's eyes and ears, in order to prevent future generations from stealing and digging." It is a pity that there were fragments and traces of cultural relics in the mound, which have now been stolen. Liang Dong pointed to the drawing: "The void mound is in this location." ”

Xu Bai leaned his head and looked: "Looking at the location, it is not far from the place where the ash was hit before." ”

As soon as the words fell, Xu Bai understood why Lu Yueping appeared in the excavation area that night.

They must have stolen the artifacts from the mound and concluded from experience that this was not the main tomb. But the excavation of the entire drainage channel alone takes at least half a year, so Lu Yueping has been in and out many times in this area, and they should have surveyed the tomb from the bottom to the top from the drainage channel, so they took advantage of the free time of the archaeological team to explore the mountain according to the exploration method drawn by the archaeological team.

But it is already quite powerful to be able to find a mound with cultural relics in it at once.

Liang Dong took a sip of tea: "The detonator is the main detonation material of the blasting project, and its function is to generate the initiating energy to detonate various explosives and detonating cords. Detonators are divided into fire detonators, electric detonators, and trigger detonators, etc., unfortunately, what we found is that it happens to be trigger detonators, which can trigger explosions by external forces such as impact. Damn, it's a lack of morality. ”

Xu Bai broke out in a cold sweat.

Last time, she walked in the drainage channel for a long time overnight, and although she knew that she had followed the drainage channel to the excavation area, she didn't go to the end and returned the same way, which is really scary in retrospect. If you step on the trigger detonator, won't you be going to be bloody in an instant?

This Lu Yueping is really ruthless.

Lu Kun's face was solemn, and he straightened his back and asked, "Have you dealt with it now?" ”

Liang Dong took another sip of tea, made a loud noise, and said: "The detonator found has been cleaned up by the bomb disposal experts, and the explosives buried in the mound have also been removed." ”

Lu Kun asked, "Does the void mound have an opening to connect to the tomb?" ”

"Nope. However, after looking at the vicinity of the excavation area, the instructor said that the soil here is very mixed, and there are many traces of human transportation. Before, we had already knocked out the coffin ash twelve or thirteen meters underground, and for the sake of prudence, we had to let the skilled soil experts take a look, so as not to have other emergencies underground. ”

Xu Bai realized in his heart, which explained the reason why Lu Kun and the experts thought that the tomb robbers had stolen some of the artifacts, but she couldn't smell the smell of corpses when she passed through the drainage channel.

There is no opening behind the mound, and there are no corpses, but that doesn't mean that there are no bones in the next coffin that will be opened.

Lu Kun was silent for a while.

When it comes to soil identification, in fact, anyone who studies archaeology will know, the only difference is only in the level of technology.

In the absence of any modern surveying instruments, some masters know whether there is a tomb, an ash pit, a cellar or a dry well just by smelling the soil. There are even some who know what period of the underground tomb is just by smelling the soil, relying only on experience.

He subconsciously glanced at Xu Bai.

Xu Bai's gaze collided with him briefly, giving birth to a strange tacit understanding.

At this time, the tutor left the chair, walked in front of Liang Dong, and said with a cold face: "Old Liang, you missed a detail and told this bastard boy." ”

Liang Dong nodded, and his gaze turned to Lu Kun: "Oh, that's right." This time, someone wrote two lines of words in the empty mound, and the penmanship was the same as the Shang tomb found last time. ”

Lu Kun's eyebrows tightened more and more: "What did you write this time?" ”

Liang Dong said: "The flowers will eventually wither, when will the debt be repaid." This time, the English letter next to it is: z. ”

Lu Kun frowned, his face serious.

Xu Bai was also shocked, last time it was k, at that time she thought it was the homonym in Lu Kun's name, but this time it was z, and it overturned Xu Bai's previous guess, so she couldn't understand what these letters represented.

The mentor's face was very stinky, and he raised his hand to Lu Kun: "The work in the village is not completely over, there are a lot of things to do here, and the tomb robbers have provoked you, but you still have the heart to leave the team to see your wife." Lu Kun, Lu Kun, you ......"

As everyone said, he is a crazy person at work, and no one can make him put down his work except Xu Bai.

Lu Kun glanced at his mentor and said nothing.

Xu Bai took a step forward and followed Lu Kun's call: "Master, this matter mainly depends on me." I promise it won't happen in the future. ”

The tutor looked at Xu Bai and pulled Liang Dong out to talk about things, as if he was still not angry, and he didn't even greet Lu Kun when he left.

In the empty classroom, only Xu Bai and Lu Kun were soon left.

"I'm sorry." Xu Bai lowered his head.

Lu Kun touched her head a few times, and a hint of pampering hung on her lips: "When your safety and my work conflict, it's a good choice." ”

Xu Bai said: "Your master is right, I just went to have a funeral dinner, I think too much." ”

He took a deep breath and smiled lightly, "Maybe." But I accept your apology. ”

Xu Bai raised his head: "Huh? ”

Lu Kun's jaw tightened: "You didn't count my master's promise just now." ”

Xu Bai was stunned.

He put his hand on her shoulder and shook it faintly: "If a similar situation happens again next time, I will still choose to leave the team." That's why you just made such an easy promise to the master for me, you were wrong. ”

A warm current surged towards the tip of Xu Bai's heart.

She was silent, but in her heart she secretly swore that she must understand his past, because only in this way can she love him more completely.

Since he didn't want to say it, then she waited.

She firmly believes that one day, the truth will come to the surface like a treasure buried in the sand.

Xu Bai picked up the drawings with his delicate hand and looked at them a few times, raised his head, and said lightly: "This person's painter is not as good as you." ”

Lu Kun paused for a moment, and then burst out with a smile: "Are you considered a lover's eyes?" ”

Xu Bai was also amused by him, and blurted out: "You are not Xi Shi, you are now my boyfriend." ”

Lu Kun, whose buttocks were on the edge of the table, stopped smiling, hugged her into his arms as soon as he pulled her arms in, buried his face in her chest through thin clothes, kissed her briefly, and added in a low voice: "The only boyfriend and husband." ”

Xu Bai raised his hand to stroke his soft black hair, like a loving mother caressing a newborn child, and replied lightly: "I know." ”

Lu Kun took the opportunity to hug her waist at this time, and seeing her calm and well-behaved appearance, he couldn't help but whisper: "Hurry up and let me implement the field excavation work of your construction site, Brother Kun's Luoyang shovel really wants to get into work quickly." ”

Xu Bai blushed and glanced at him: "Let it rust." ”

Lu Kun smiled lightly: "You dare!" ”

Xu Bai said: "Just dare." ”

Lu Kun straightened his back and said in a dumb voice: "Then call me Brother Kun again, I want to hear it." ”

Xu Bai bit the corner of his mouth, lowered his head and shouted: "Kun, Brother Kun......"

He happily replied, "Huh." ”

The two looked at each other and smiled.

No matter how powerful the pain was, it was still difficult to stop the two estranged hearts from getting closer.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, a 61-year-old scholar from other provinces arrived at the excavation site on time.

In the next few days, the archaeological team and the construction team have lifted the coffin cover with a crane, and the inner coffin under the tomb can be seen with the naked eye.

Xu Bai stood aside, and when she observed, she had a question in her heart, and she put her arm against Lu Kun's arm: "Last time, the tomb in the village was a well-dressed mound, and it is understandable that there is no corpse smell. But there are obviously remains down here, why is there no skyrocketing corpse smell. ”

Lu Kun replied: "Tombs before the Ming Dynasty generally did not smell. ”

Their conversation was overheard by a soil expert who had come down from the province next to them.

"Little girl, what did you say?" The soil expert looked at Xu Bai scrutinically.

Xu Bai smiled and didn't dare to say anything.

But the expert was sure that he had no auditory hallucinations, so he immediately walked to Xu Bai and said: "I just opened the lid of the wall coffin in the upper room, and no one has opened the inner coffin yet, how do you know that there must be remains in the coffin?" ”

The reason why I ask this is because the master can smell the smell of the remains of corpses thousands of years ago with his experience and sensitivity to smells, and this kind of smell is not smelled by ordinary people at all.

What experts want to determine is whether Xu Bai guessed or ......

Xu Bai was stunned and realized that he shouldn't have said that.

So he immediately said: "Aren't the tombs of the ancestors all buried the dead?" Should...... There will be corpses. ”

"Oh, that's right." After listening to it, the expert no longer takes it seriously.

Xu Bai turned his head, but Lu Kun's dark eyes followed her closely.

After the expert walked away, Lu Kun tilted his neck and asked Xu Bai, "You smell it?" Are there really bones? ”

She nodded, "Yes." ”

Lu Kun said: "I didn't smell the smell of corpses, and before I opened the inner coffin, I can't rule out the possibility that there is also a well-dressed mound underneath." ”

Xu Bai said: "Now that the tomb has been opened, there is indeed the smell of wreckage in the air that has just been suspended, but it is very light. The tombs here are much deeper than those in the village, and the age is so old that it is impossible for ordinary people to smell them. But my sense of smell has been very abnormal since I was a child, dozens of times more intelligent than a police dog. When I used to go to school, our class went to the mountains to investigate, and found the remains of ancient creatures, at that time my teacher felt that several pieces of debris appeared in the same square meter, and the bones were similar, so he decided that it was from the remains of the same ancient creature, only I smelled the abnormality, insisted that several pieces of debris were from two ancient creatures, the teacher did not believe it, but then time still verified my conclusion, so you believe me right. When the archaeological team finishes sorting out the wooden planks above the tomb and the rest of the information, the answer will naturally be clear when the tomb is officially lowered. ”

——

Ten o'clock in the evening.

There was no one in the excavation area except for the armed police.

Although the burial chamber was opened in the village, the field work could not be completed until the raw earth was dug up. In addition, many of the daily necessities of the two are still in the tent.

So that night, Lu Kun and Xu Bai still returned to the village to rest.

The beams of the searchlight are staggered.

Xu Bai finished washing and climbed up to his own collapse, and when Lu Kun saw this, he grabbed her arm domineeringly and pulled her arm violently.

The woman's slender body immediately fell to his tight legs.

He locked Xu Bai's waist with his bronzed arms and said coquettishly: "Sleeping alone, it's cold." ”

Xu Bai wanted to laugh, turned his head and scolded softly: "Fart." ”

Lu Kun said: "It's so cold. ”

Xu Bai thought for a while: "Yes, but you can't take the opportunity to use the Luoyang shovel, there are some things I haven't thought about yet." ”

Lu Kun knew that he would be uncomfortable like this, but when he heard Xu Bai agree so readily, he couldn't help but be happy to be a child who begged for candy, and said with a smile: "Then the Luoyang shovel is not good, can the ground exploration instrument be used." ”

Xu Bai is a smart person, he understands it at once.

She hesitated for a moment before throwing him away, "Whatever you want." ”
