Chapter 1 Gossip in the Ear
Lin Mo is a graduate student of archaeology, and Qiu Wen is her best friend, both of whom are in the same major. With knowledge and wisdom, the two have unearthed a lot of unknown relics, and the vulgar is tomb robbing, which is different from the folk gold school captains, they are at least legal.
A few days ago, Lin Mo bought a treated cowhide from the antique Taojie, and many years of experience made Lin Mo see the extraordinary nature of this cowhide at once, so she invited Qiu Wen to study the cowhide together.
Dozens of scientific methods were used, but the secret of the cowhide was not obtained, in an accident, Lin Mo accidentally scratched his fingers and stained the blood on the cowhide, and then a surprising scene appeared, the cowhide gradually revealed a very precisely depicted small map, in the middle of the map, there was a small pattern in the shape of a coffin.
"This is a tomb map"
In ancient times, people were afraid that their descendants would leave their homeland and not be able to find the tomb of their ancestors when they returned, so they would carve a tomb map to facilitate their descendants to find the cemetery of their ancestors, which was called a tomb map.
After comparing the map changes of various eras, Lin Mo finally locked the map coffin pattern location in a mountain range.
This mountain range belongs to the undeveloped forest area, it is a national reserve, and ordinary people can't enter it without permission, Lin Mo has been in this line for many years, and naturally knows a lot of people, so she easily got a pass to enter this forest area.
This forest area is very large, if there is no tomb map to guide them, the two of them will definitely get lost in this forest area, and after walking for three days, after crossing a swampy woodland, and then passing through a forest, the two of them see a broken wall.
And this is where the tomb map is finally guided.
It is not difficult to see that this was once a village, and a few decades ago, or earlier, it was inhabited, but then something happened and the people left here.
"Xiao Wenwen, have you checked the information in this area?"
It was Lin Mo who spoke, her slender body was standing on a cracked stone platform at the moment, she was wearing a long blue shirt, her sleeves were half-rolled up, revealing her fair skin, with a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and there was always a faint smile on her ruddy lips.
And what Lin Mo called 'Xiao Wenwen' was her best friend Qiu Wen.
The name Qiu Wen looks delicate, but in fact, seeing her in person is very different from the name, with capable short hair, a sexy figure, bronzed skin, and a more neutral face.
Qiu Wen and Lin Mo stood together, perfectly interpreting what 'angels' and 'devils' are.
Today's Qiu Wen was wearing a camouflage uniform, she was carrying a bulging bag behind her, hearing Lin Mo's words, she threw her back to the ground, seeing her action, the corners of Lin Mo's mouth twitched, inside this backpack, there was her notebook and some valuable equipment.
At this time, Qiu Wen spoke, only to hear her calm voice and said calmly: "I can't find much information on the Internet in this forest area, and most of the information I found is some peripheral photos in recent years, and then I asked some friends from relevant departments to check it, but I was told that there is no relevant information."
"No information?" Lin Mo muttered, she lifted her glasses, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she muttered, "Isn't it hidden from above?"
"There is no such possibility, otherwise we would not have been able to get in here"
"Again, if they really wanted to hide something, it wouldn't have been so easy for us to get a pass."
Qiu Wen looked around and said, "But I did inquire about a strange thing, there were some people who were ready to develop this forest area, but in the end, it turned out to be a scandal."
"Oh, how do you think about the scandal, let's hear it," Lin Mo asked curiously.
I saw Qiu Wen say with a strange look on her face: "As long as you are a person who is ready to develop this forest area, as long as you are in politics and are in business, you are bankrupt, and it is rumored that an underground giant wants to buy this forest area, guess what happened the next day?"
"Yo, it seems that we have a big deal" Lin Mo replied with a look of indifference.
Qiu Wen smiled, then she put on her backpack and said to Lin Mo: "It's getting dark, look at the weather, there may be rain tonight, find a place to spend tonight, and explore here tomorrow."
"Yes"
Lin Mo answered and walked in front first.
Soon the two found a place to stay, this is a dilapidated adobe house, this is the only house in the entire village with a tile to cover the head, Lin Mo and Qiu Wen are not picky, simply clean up, and live in this house.
Lin Mo began to look at the structure and facilities of this adobe house, she tried to find out some of the origin of this village, but after half an hour, she did not gain the slightest, the structure of this house is very ordinary, the same as some rural construction in the forties and fifties, but one thing that makes Lin Mo curious is that this house is very empty, there are no tables and chairs, no dishes and chopsticks, and no daily necessities left.
It's not that Lin Mo hasn't been to some uninhabited villages, but in those villages, at least she will find some things left by her predecessors, but here, she hasn't found any things that her predecessors have used.
Lin Mo even went out to check a few rotten houses nearby, and the results were the same.
"Lao Mo, what are you tossing?" Qiu Wen suddenly shouted, because Lin Mo always called her 'Xiao Wenwen', Qiu Wen was naturally not willing to be disadvantaged, and also called her for 'Lao Mo'.
When Lin Mo checked the situation, Qiu Wen was in charge of tonight's food, the two have always been so divided, when Qiu Wen made the food, she saw Lin Mo turning over rubble and tiles nearby, so she couldn't help but ask curiously.
After Lin Mo returned to the house, he told Qiu Wen what he had discovered, and after listening to it, Qiu Wen also frowned, and the doubts of this village for the two of them became deeper and deeper.
After a simple dinner, at this time, there was a 'tick-tock' sound outside the house, and before I knew it, it was already raining lightly.
Tick......
Tick ......
......
"Xiao Wenwen, did you hear the sound?" Lin Mo suddenly asked.
Qiu Wen was slightly stunned and asked, "What sound? I didn't hear anything other than the sound of rain."
"No, no, no, between the sound of rain, it seems to be mixed with other sounds, as if it ...... It seems like...... The voice of a man shouting"
As soon as Lin Mo's voice came out, the air instantly froze a little, and after a long time, Qiu Wen's throat rolled for a moment, and then she said slowly: "How can there be a man shouting in this kind of deep mountains and wild forests, Lao Mo, are you joking with me?"
However, Lin Mo said with a serious face: "No, I'm not joking with you"
After saying this, Lin Mo suddenly closed his eyes, as if he was listening carefully.
On one side, Qiu Wen saw her like this, the hairs on her body stood up involuntarily, and she swore that she didn't hear any sound outside except for the sound of rain.
Tonight's moonlight was shrouded in dark clouds, and the entire village was shrouded in darkness, and in this darkness, only the adobe house where Lin Mo and the two stayed had a glimmer of light.
At this time, Lin Mo opened his eyes, looked at Qiu Wen, and spit out two words in his mouth: "Sister"
Qiu Wen was startled, and her body involuntarily took a step back.
Seeing her move, Lin Mo glanced at her angrily and said, "What's the matter, think I'm a ghost?"
"Damn, you suddenly called me sister, how do I know what you want to do" Qiu Wen glared at her and replied.
Lin Mo rolled his eyes, then a trace of seriousness appeared on his face, and he said in a deep voice: "That man's voice seems to be constantly shouting 'sister'."
"Are you serious?"
"Nonsense, what do you say"
"What the hell, I didn't hear anything, are you hallucinating?"
Lin Mo had a sad look on her face, she looked at the dark outside, listening to the sound of the ticking rain, she did hear a man outside shouting all the time, and this voice seemed to be not far from the two of them.
After a while, I heard Lin Mo suddenly say, "Xiao Wenwen, I want to go out and have a look"
"It's so dark outside, and it's still raining, it's not a good decision for you" Qiu Wen covered her forehead and said, she didn't dissuade it, because she knew that it was useless, once Lin Mo decided something, it was difficult to change it.
"You stay, I'll be back soon" Lin Mo took out a raincoat from his backpack and draped it on his body, then went out with a flashlight.
There is also a reason why Qiu Wen stayed, because when the two of them went out for archaeological research, they met a group of scammers, who first transferred the two of them away, and then left the equipment that the two of them put in the camp smoothly.
Out of the outside, Lin Mo looked for the sound in his ears and left, the road was rotten after dark, and it was still raining, the muddy water was rushing on the road, it was difficult to distinguish the road, along the way, Lin Mo's trousers were full of muddy water, and she didn't know how many mud puddles she had stepped on.
For about ten minutes, Lin Mo stood in front of an ancestral hall, and the flashlight shone through, this ancestral hall looked very dilapidated, with only a few walls left.
Standing in front of the ancestral hall, Lin Mo felt that her voice was getting clearer and clearer, as if it was coming from inside the ancestral hall, she walked over, but did not step in, but shouted softly outside: "Hello, is there anyone?"
When she shouted out the words, the voice in her ears stopped abruptly, at this moment, it was as if the whole world was quiet, Lin Mo couldn't even hear the sound of raindrops hitting her body, she felt that her soul seemed to be slowly leaving her body.
