Early the next morning, Jiang Ze got up, and yesterday he made an appointment to gather in the hall at this time, but Ouyang Yan was the only one who arrived on time, with his backpack next to him.

"Jiang Ze, are you up?" Ouyang Yan beckoned.

"It's just you, haven't they gotten up yet?" Jiang Ze said helplessly.

The original plan was to enter the mountain in the morning and return in the evening, but according to the current situation, it is estimated that if you leave today, you will have to spend the night on the mountain.

"Everybody drank too much yesterday, maybe a little later. Why don't I wake them up?" Ouyang Yan got up and called out to them.

"It's okay, it doesn't matter if it's late, the TV station announced that there is a Sagittarid meteor shower tonight, if it's late, maybe you can catch it, and you can watch the sunrise in the morning." Anyway, the long holiday is still so long, we are here to travel, and it is not a problem. Jiang Ze put the bag down, took the freshly cooked white bun from the dining table, handed it to Ouyang Yan, and nibbled on one himself.

While eating, he said: "It's okay to leave later, let Wang Ming think of a way to get a few tents." ”

"Haha, when did the iron-faced and selfless Team Leader Jiang speak so well?" Ouyang Yan didn't forget to tease him while eating.

"I drank a bit too much yesterday, after all, everyone is just a student, and the amount of alcohol is not good, which is understandable. ”

Jiang Ze was noncommittal, the members of the research group were a little stressed during this time, and it was understandable to relax and relax, "But yesterday's wine was really good, and I didn't have a headache when I woke up after being drunk, and I was refreshed." ”

Later, several students from the Department of Ancient History also came out and apologized to the two of them for being late. Jiang Ze beckoned everyone to breakfast and didn't think much about it.

It didn't take long for Peng Run to come out, his hair was a little scattered, he looked like he had just woken up, he saw Jiang Ze sitting on the sofa, and under his eyes, he recalled the beautiful scene last night, both of them blushed, and the atmosphere became a little ambiguous, so he took the preserved egg and lean porridge handed over by Jiang Ze, and drank it with his head buried.

The last one to wake up turned out to be Wang Ming, Wang Ming, as a noble son of the upper class, often mingles with all kinds of upper-class drinking parties, and the amount of alcohol is so unbearable.

Seeing that everyone was waiting for him, Wang Ming felt embarrassed, and immediately felt relieved when he learned that he had changed his itinerary.

Jiang Ze explained to him succinctly the changed plan.

"Okay, okay, no problem, I'll figure out the tent thing. With that, he made two phone calls.

"Let's go after lunch, everyone try to travel lightly, the altitude of Changyang Mountain is not high, and you should be able to get to the predetermined place before dark. ”

Everyone dispersed, packing their things, and the thought of spending the night in the field made the delicate college students in the ivory tower a little excited.

The efficiency of the Wang family's subordinates is not ordinary, and it takes less than half an hour to get all the tents, all kinds of fresh meat, fruits, dry food, and even portable gas stoves, barbecue grills, and an open-air barbecue banquet.

Everything was ready, and after lunch, everyone was full of energy and eager to try. One folding tent per person, sleeping bag, then put in food, simple climbing tools.

The weight of more than 20 kilograms was a bit difficult for them, and they were afraid that they would kneel before they could climb the mountainside.

In the end, it was decided to bring only five tents, one for two people, and the weight was suddenly much lighter.

Jiang Ze put on the portable gas stove, and the group entered the mountain in a mighty way.

Fortunately, it was cloudy and the weather was very cool, so you wouldn't sweat at noon.

The group surveyed the geological faults along the way, sampled the surrounding rock formations, and photographed and recorded the exposed paleontological fossils in the faults, most of which were traces of prehistoric animals and plants, which had nothing to do with the subject, and made no valuable discoveries until the evening.

More than 4,000 years have passed, and the sea has become a mulberry field, Jiang Ze relied on the feng shui physiognomy of the sky dome and green capsule, and inferred the general direction of the river valley at that time according to the trend of the mountains on the map.

Most of the ancient tribes were built along the river, such as the Lianghe River Basin, the Yangtze River and the Yellow River Basin, which gave birth to several prosperous ancient civilizations.

"How long will it take to get to the place where the tribal ruins are discovered?" Jiang Ze asked, after walking for a few hours, several girls in the Department of Ancient History were too tired to walk, although Jiang Ze took most of Peng Run's bags and led her all the way, but she was still so tired that her face was pale.

"It's almost there, and the suspected tribal ruins found by the construction team when they were repairing the pavilion are not far from there, and it's about two hours away. Wang Ming pointed to the northwest and said.

Although it may not seem far away, the temporary mountain road built for the development project is tortuous and winding, which is exactly what the saying is that looking at the mountain and running a dead horse.

Looking at the direction of Wang Ming's finger, Jiang Ze frowned, this direction was diametrically opposed to his inference. Jiang Ze shook his head, it seemed that he was still not good at learning.

Seeing that Jiang Ze's expression was a little puzzled, Wang Ming flashed his words: "It's not early, there is an empty platform in front of you, and there is a stream next to it, why don't we camp here tonight." ”

The sky gradually darkened, and the group finally arrived at the platform that Wang Ming said, everyone was tired and lying on the ground panting, each replenishing water, the platform was large enough for a group of people to camp, and the terrain was also very good, with the mountain and water on their backs.

After relieving themselves, everyone unloaded their equipment and worked together, the boys were responsible for collecting firewood and setting up tents, and the girls were responsible for pots and pans and cleaning the ingredients.

Jiang Ze looked at everyone's busy figure and nodded, even if this trip did not achieve any value, it was a good harvest to enhance team cohesion.

The night has come to an end, the sound of insects is endless, L City has accelerated its development in the past few years, and there is no trace of large beasts, but occasionally there are unknown small beast cries that make a few of them feel a little frightened.

Everyone sat around the fire and sang, ate barbecue, and talked to the stars to dispel their fears.

The meteor shower also came as promised, everyone closed their eyes and made a wish, Jiang Ze gently held Peng Run's hand and made a wish to be realized in his life.

Wang Ming suddenly had an urgency to urinate, so he took a flashlight and went to the bushes to find a place to pee, and he didn't come back after a long time, and everyone was a little anxious.

"Ahh

It was Wang Ming's voice! The abrupt exclamation made everyone's hearts tighten.

"What's wrong?!" Jiang Ze shouted, and quickly followed the sound to find it.

"It's okay, it's okay, I just got a big one, and as soon as I squatted down a branch, it pierced my ass and hooked my pants. Wang Ming laughed.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and complained that he scared everyone, which can be regarded as a thrilling episode.

At night, Wang Ming and Jiang Ze slept in a tent, and Peng Run slept with another girl from the Department of Ancient History. Jiang Ze originally planned to share a tent with Ouyang Yan, but Ouyang Yan was dragged to sleep alone by Wang Ming.

The night was sinking like water, Jiang Ze was still sorting out today's notes, and when everyone was asleep, Wang Ming came over and said to Jiang Ze mysteriously: "Guess what I just found?"

Jiang Ze smiled: "What else can you find by shitting, and you find that it is not a branch that pierces your ass, but a monster?"

Wang Ming said seriously: "Seriously, I found a deep fault, and I can't see it through the flashlight." ”

Wang Ming gestured, "There seems to be a bronze utensil in the shallow soil, and you can see that I also took a picture with a flash." ”

After that, he took out his mobile phone and opened the photo album to rummage through it, Jiang Ze glanced at it suspiciously, and his eyes were immediately attracted, about two meters below the crack in the photo, only a small part of a rusty green appliance was still buried in the soil.

With the knowledge he had learned, Jiang Ze immediately judged that this was a three-legged bronze wine bottle from the Shang and Zhou dynasties, although it had nothing to do with their subject, it was also a rare discovery.

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Jiang Ze thought for a while and said, "It's too dangerous, let's go again tomorrow during the day." ”

Wang Ming disagreed: "You see the soil layer where this bronze is located, sandy soil, if it rains at night, it will be washed away by the rain and fall into the cracks, if such an important cultural relics are left behind, it will be a big loss to the archaeological community, and the new settlement city will be a major discovery that will cause a sensation in the archaeological community." ”

Jiang Ze was silent, indeed, the discovery of Changyang Mountain bronzes will open a new chapter in archaeological history.

Seeing that Jiang Ze was a little shaken, Wang Ming continued to say: "As archaeologists, what is our responsibility? How can you watch such an important cultural relic disappear like this?"

"Why don't you talk to everyone? Jiang Ze said.

"If they knew, they would definitely follow, the sandy soil structure is loose, and I'm afraid that it will be troublesome if it collapses, so let's go." I take you, you take the rope. ”

After thinking about it again, Jiang Ze still decided to take a look, "Okay, let's go!"

took the rope of the backpack, and Wang Ming led the way and left with a flashlight.

Wang Ming took him for a few minutes, and finally found the crack he said, which was only more than two meters wide and bottomless.

Through the strong light of the wolf's eye flashlight, I can vaguely identify the location of the bronze in the photo, only one foot is buried in the sandy soil, crumbling, and the vibration of the footsteps of the two people makes the sand layer fall down fine sand.

"I'll go down, you tie the rope to the tree, and when I pull the rope, you will pull me up." Jiang Ze tied the rope around his waist and said, as the team leader, he did the most dangerous and heaviest work, which was why the team members believed in him.

"Well, hold on, and when you get it, call me to pull you up. Wang Ming replied.

patted Wang Ming on the shoulder, and went down along the edge, Wang Ming slowly put the rope down, very steady.

Just when he was about to reach the bronze wine bottle, he suddenly stepped on the air, and the sand under his feet slipped, Jiang Ze slapped his whole body on the wall, and he was in pain, and looked up to see the bronze wine bottle sliding down from behind him due to the sand peeling.

Jiang Ze hurriedly turned around, kicked his feet, swung his head down, scooped the bronze wine bottle into his hand, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and made a false alarm.

"Got it, pull me up. Jiang Ze tugged on the rope to send out a signal and shouted.

The rope in his hand did not make any response, Jiang Ze looked up, and what caught his eyes was Wang Ming's distorted face, which was particularly hideous under the illumination of the flashlight.

Wang Ming showed a grim smile, turned around to untie the rope wrapped around the tree, and smiled as Jiang Ze fell into the bottomless abyss.

The wind was blowing in his ears, and he didn't know how long he fell, Jiang Ze only felt severe pain all over his body, and fell to the ground hard.

As his blood grew cold and his consciousness blurred, he seemed to hear a voice.

"Oops, I've finally seen a living person after all these years. ”

"Why are you dying? Looks like I'm going to be lonely anymore. ”

“......”

"Hey, this familiar bloodline, how pure, is it the descendant of His Majesty Emperor Yan?"

"Damn! Yellow Emperor Xiao'er, it's not enough to cut off my head, he even angered my Shennong clan heir! I am inseparable from you! This kid, Lao Tzu has been saved!"

Xingtian did not hesitate to spend a trace of his divine sense to repair Jiang Ze's gradually cooling body, but Zhihai was damaged by the intervention of Xingtian's strong will.

According to Jiang Ze's memories in the sea, Xingtian guided him back to the small mountain village in a daze, and then fell into a deep sleep due to excessive consumption.

What happened after that was that Jiang Ze's mother took him around to seek medical treatment.
