Since the distance up and down the bridge was indeed as Professor Yang had estimated, I fell to the ground before I was ready, and my knees hit the uneven rocks, and I could feel a hot blood burst out of my knees even with two trousers.

"How's Huazi?" Hadron shouted from above.

I half-squatted and rubbed the injured part, and immediately returned to a height that was shorter than the courtyard wall of the village chief's house.

Qiangzi screamed, and then he heard the sound of a ball of meat falling to the ground, and he didn't expect the bottom of the cliff to be so shallow, and he screamed in pain.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Laogou and the others also jumped down, but with the two of us following the road below, they did not repeat the mistake of the past and landed smoothly.

However, Li Gouyu's injury was serious, and we could only act as a meat pad below to let it fall, and the originally injured knee was torn by this impact, and I even felt pain when I walked, I was afraid that it would become a cripple after it was too late to reduce inflammation.

Mercury was also dripping down the rock wall, and we had to use our flashlights to shine our way and follow the faint light ahead.

"If we find an exit ahead and go our separate ways, we are not all the way." I limped with my right arm on Qiangzi, and when I saw Zhao Xudong, I became angry.

Zhao Xudong took some burial utensils in the coffin, but he didn't take one if he didn't fight for it, he was confident, and said something like let's not expose the secret, otherwise Qiangzi would not be able to escape the relationship, and he was a serious archaeologist, and it was unknown who the people outside would believe when the time came.

The light in front of him was getting closer and closer, and after walking about a mile, an upward hole appeared, but the hole was already overgrown with wild grass, which may be why it was not discovered.

The pickaxe played an extremely important role in the cave, and we have relied on it to get through many difficulties along the way, and now we have relied on him to dig into the rock wall and climb out of the cave one by one.

When I got outside, I looked at my watch, and it was eight o'clock, which showed that we had been in the cave for a long night, and we really experienced the feeling of "one day in the cave, and a thousand years on the ground".

"Where the fuck is the way people walk, it's obviously a dog hole." Qiangzi didn't know if his jaw was stuck and he ate a mouthful of mud, spit and shouted there, but he wiped his mouth again and said violently: "By the way, why didn't we go in from this hole in the first place, and we have to suffer so much!" ”

This blurted out like a thunderbolt from the sky, we crossed the sand sea and went to the mechanism, and took a few lives to go in before it was difficult to escape, and if you went directly through this hole, there would be no problem, at this time I felt that Lao Tong and they died more unjustly than Dou E.

We began to ask each other about the culpability, who had the idea to go all the way around in a circle to wade through this troubled waters, and not even do the most basic investigation, and we were simply joking about the successor of communism.

After talking to each other, we all looked at Professor Yang, he is the number one master outside the Guan, and he is a local, and he must be the main responsibility for such a big leak.

Professor Yang's brain was active, and he immediately excused himself and said that he had been washing his hands for many years, not to mention that the news of this tomb was all in the hands of Lao Tong, and he could only blame the superior leaders who released the news to Lao Tong.

I asked Li Bei if she knew who made it to the expedition this time, judging from the familiarity of her relationship with Lao Tong, she would definitely not be the one recruited by Lao Tong.

Li Bei was quite innocent, saying that she was only a local hygienist and had never carried out archaeological work, and this trip was also a unilateral decision made by the hospital, and a train ticket sent her to Nanjing, and she was not qualified to ask for whom or for what reason.

Although Zhao Xudong is timid and afraid of things and likes to steal chickens and touch dogs, but Lao Tong is his teacher, this feeling still exists in his bones, he said that when Mr. Tong was in the cultural center, a middle-aged man with sunglasses looked for him, and it was after that meeting that Lao Tong told him to come to Inner Mongolia for field investigation.

I asked him if he knew about this man's background, and he shook his head and said that he only knew that he was a Chinese-American businessman.

I suddenly felt that this expedition was not organized by the state or local government, and even the hygienists and tomb robbers who were not part of the system were hired, aren't they afraid that the research on the tomb group will be destroyed due to unprofessionalism is valuable, could it be that Lao Tong deliberately concealed us for some special reason?

"By the way, Xiaowan, did your father say before that after this expedition, where will you go next?" I saw that Xiaowan seemed to have something to say, so I took the initiative to ask.

"I mentioned that if it goes well this time, the next stop will go directly to Wushan, he said that this is only the first step of the long march, there is still a long journey ahead, that is, for this reason, I don't worry about staying in Nanjing alone for too long, so I was picked up." Xiao Wan confided.

"What? This old Tong didn't tell me a big course of action, just raised 2,000 yuan to run such a trip, it turned out that he still had the following. Chen Laogou threw away the cigarette butt and said with a surprised face.

It's really hard to do now, if we think about it more, it's okay, this is a simple archaeological mission organized by the state, and there will be no other problems with our original report of the situation, but if this is just a private transaction between Lao Tong and the mysterious man, we will directly tell the government, the dead people in this cave and the ruined mess of the tomb, and if we can't be treated as tomb robbers who dig and steal privately, then we will be sentenced.

"Don't think about it so much, maybe it's just an action organized by the public, otherwise the flag commander won't receive us, let alone send a public car to pick us up."

Hadron's positive and optimistic attitude is a good thing, but the rivers and lakes are sinister and unpredictable, what if this flag commander is also bought? Besides, those public cars only carried us to the front banner of Utra did not express their support for our expedition mission, and those military distress was only a word of the flag commander, and it was impossible to say that it was used to fool us, and the guns were forbidden to be carried privately, and the public ones had corresponding numbers, and losing the gun was equivalent to losing a job, who would have the courage to openly take two light machine guns to Lao Tong?

This series of problems really puzzled us, and we parted ways after saying that it was good, and I went to report the results to the government, but now this road is not going through, honor is big but not life, if you go to prison at such a young age, it will be too cost-effective.

At this moment, a flatbed carriage came from a distance, and I waved him to stop and ask for directions.

The man driving the carriage was called Nash Urita, and he was driving the carriage to the village of Busol, not far away, to collect mutton, and I was shocked when this remark came out, because we had walked so far and we were about to approach the village of Busol, and the village of Busol was the place where Lao Tong came to investigate and found the ancient tombs of Pilo.

I asked Nash Urita if he could take a break with us, and he waved his hand again and again, saying that the carriage could not seat so many people, and Tong Xiaowan opened her mouth to say a few words to him in Mongolian, and this person's attitude immediately changed a hundred to eighty degrees, and he smiled and said that he was willing to take us for a while.

After getting into the carriage, I asked Tong Xiaowan what she told him, why did she readily agree, Tong Xiaowan looked at me and suddenly laughed, it turned out that she said that we were foreign doctors and wanted to rush to Busol to see people but got lost.

I was relieved to see her laughing, Lao Tong's accidental death tortured her a lot, and now she was finally in a cheerful mood, but it was hard to say if there was a flaw there, after all, our dress is still quite different from the local herdsmen, especially in this sensitive period, in case of suspicion of calling the police, we can't escape.

Seven people scrambled on the wooden cart, but they felt sorry for the horse that was pulling us, and the horse's legs seemed to be a little shaky, and if it was exhausted to death, it would be another murder accident.

From the place where I got on the bus, I walked for about an hour to see a small village, the walls made of loess are very irregular, and some are also a little inclined as if they are about to fall, and there is an old lady with a face towel sitting next to the mound at the entrance of the village has been staring at us, this place should not be in contact with the outside world, so we are so curious about the "strange costumes".

Tong Xiaowan and Nash Urita said a few more words in Mongolian, and the car stopped, I got off the board, my bones were shaken apart, and my stomach was screaming from revolutionary hunger, and now I just want to find a decent-looking villager to take a bath, eat some hot soup and then sleep, just as I was still searching around for the ideal place to live, Nash Urita opened his mouth and said something I didn't understand.

At this time, Tong Xiaowan's face changed, I didn't feel good to ask her what she meant, Tong Xiaowan said that we came to see a doctor, and it happened that his friend's wife was infected with a strange disease and asked us to go over for treatment first.

People are unlucky, the more they are afraid of something, the more they hit something, and they were worried that the identity of this doctor would be recognized, but now there is really a ready-made patient who wants us to treat the disease.

I glanced at Nash Urita, who looked at us with a slanted eye and seemed to be a little suspicious, but I couldn't just refuse, so I immediately nodded in agreement, and I had to take it one step at a time.

"Huazi, you can't even do the work for the gelding piglets, can you treat people, this is not asking for a dead end!" Hadron whispered to me as he walked.

I turned my head and told him that the plan for now was to act at the opportune moment, but fortunately, Li Bei was a hygienist, so I let her go up if it didn't work.

Nash Urita could speak some Mandarin, but due to the lack of communication between the herdsmen in the border areas and the people in the Central Plains, and the continuous promotion of the wave of cleaning up the class ranks during the democratic revolution, they had some resistance to "Han nationalism" from the bottom of their hearts.

He told us about the strange disease that raged only among the villagers in the village of Busol:

Since a major earthquake half a year ago, the villagers have begun to spread a strange skin disease, but every patient who is sick will develop blood blisters from the wrists, and when the blood blisters grow to a certain extent, they will break through the walls and leak pus, and when the pus flows, new blood blisters will grow again. After a month of blood blister growth, the patient will develop a black sore on the back, which will gradually eat away at the skin and blood, and eventually cause the person to die in confusion and pain.

The hairs on my body stood on end, and the strange disease described was not what we called the plague, and I pinched my nose involuntarily, as if there were a lot of germs growing in the air.

When I asked why the people of the village did not go to the town to seek healing, they stayed in the village and waited for death, and Nashurita explained that the villagers of Busor thought it was a calamity that had been sent down by the gods, and that when the cracks in the forbidden cave were opened, someone had gone in and stolen the god's wealth, and that the disaster would only be eliminated when the wrath of the gods had been appeased.

Qiangzi and I looked at each other, wondering if we were in trouble because we had taken the contents of the tomb.

Hadron came to him: "Half a year ago, we didn't come half a year ago......"
