Chapter 18: The Night Wanderer
"I don't want to," Lin Nian replied without hesitation.
"Hmph, even if you don't want to, I'll tell you" Qiu Wen snorted lightly.
Then, Qiu Wen looked around cautiously, and seeing that no one was paying attention to this, she whispered: "Brother Lin, I'll put it in the bra, do you want to take a look?"
Lin Mo covered her forehead on the side, although she didn't see Lin Nian's appearance, she could imagine how Lin Nian would react when she heard this.
After taking a deep look at the mysterious two men over there, Lin Mo pulled Qiu Wen into the mountain village.
As soon as he entered the village, Lin Mo first looked at the buildings in this village, there are adobe houses and now cement houses, and the ground is paved with cement, but it seems that the year is a little old, because most of the roads on both sides are in tatters. In front of some houses, a few old people sat in twos and threes to enjoy the shade, and when they saw someone entering the village, these old people glanced at it, and then withdrew their gaze.
Along the way, Lin Mo didn't see any young people, but saw a few children playing.
Xu Tianfeng, who was walking in front, ran to a room and talked to an old man, although Xu Tianfeng usually had a gloomy and serious expression, but when facing the old man, he frequently showed a smiling face. Lin Mo nodded secretly in his heart, this Xu Tianfeng is not bad except for his annoying personality.
After a while, Xu Tianfeng turned back and said something to the dozen or so subordinates, Lin Mo didn't come over, he sat in front of a stone bench with Qiu Wen, quietly watching the children in front of him playing. Looking at these carefree children, Lin Mo felt a little envious in his heart.
After about ten minutes, I saw Lu Juhu coming upside down, as if he was like a loyal housekeeper, and said respectfully to Qiu Wen: "Sister Qiu, just now Team Xu inquired about the situation in this village, and the young people here have all gone out to work, so a group of old people and children are left here."
"And then?" Qiu Wen glanced at him, they were not blind, and the situation in the mountain village could be seen at a glance.
"Then Team Xu decided to rest here for one night and officially start work tomorrow"
Lin Mo asked the key question, "Where to live?"
Lu Juhu pointed to a few green houses not far away and said: "Team Xu asked the old people here, the owners of those houses have moved out with their whole family, and they haven't come back for many years, and now Team Xu has gone to find the village chief here, it seems that in the short term, we will spend time in those green houses."
Lin Mo sighed, she didn't have any opinions.
Soon Xu Tianfeng came back, there was no accident, he had already communicated with the village chief, and before the task was completed, the team would live in the green house.
There are a total of four green houses, in fact, when you walk in, you can see clearly, the creeper overgrown outside the house, from a distance, it looks like a green house dyed green, the women in the team In addition to Lin Mo and Qiu Wen, there are three women, so Lin Mo and other five women occupy one room, Xu Tianfeng and his male subordinates occupy two green houses respectively, and the two mysterious men occupy one room.
After the assignment, Xu Tianfeng asked everyone to clean up the green house they belonged to, after all, they didn't know how long they would stay here, and at the same time, he also asked people to move some equipment on the off-road vehicle here to facilitate the next work.
came and went, and it was more than ten o'clock in the evening, Lin Mo and Qiu Wen lived in the same room, and after closing the door tightly, Qiu Wen fell on the kang with her back to the sky, and Lin Mo was not pretentious, and collapsed next to her together.
Soon, the two fell asleep. However, in the middle of the night, Lin Mo's ears heard a loud voice, she opened her eyes half-asleep, the room was very dark, because this green house had been uninhabited for many years, and the power had long been cut off, Lin Mo didn't expect there to be electricity here, she touched the mobile phone next to the pillow, and looked at the faint light on the screen, outside the glass window, there seemed to be a vague shadow.
Lin Mo wanted to get up and open the window, but Lin Nian's voice suddenly sounded in his ears: "Don't move, put out the light first, this is a night wandering spirit, and it has the power to seduce the soul."
Lin Mo was taken aback, and at the same time turned off the light on the mobile phone screen, and whispered, "Night Wandering Spirit, what is this?"
Soon, Lin Nian explained to her in detail the origin of this night wandering spirit, where the tomb is located, there must be a night wandering spirit, this night wandering spirit has a shadow and invisible, sometimes like a person, sometimes like a thing, the shape is different, but the night wandering spirit has a characteristic, has an incomparable greed for the soul, the soul of ordinary people, the night wandering spirit is not looked down upon, and a new soul like Lin Mo is the most coveted soul of the night wandering spirit.
"Brother, what should I do now?" Lin Mo asked in a low voice, and at the same time put one hand in his pocket, ready to tear open the paper figure that Lin Nian gave her.
Lin Nian seemed to know Lin Mo's thoughts, so he only listened to him and said unhurriedly: "Don't worry, in addition to seducing souls, the Night Wanderer Spirit will not actually hurt people, you just need to pretend to be a cat to scare it away."
"Aim... Meow..."Lin Mo didn't hesitate at all, pretending to be a cat and barking twice. After a pause for a few seconds, Lin Mo cautiously asked, "Brother, is it gone?"
"Gone"
Lin Mo breathed a sigh of relief, turned on the screen, and illuminated the window with light, the vague shadow had disappeared, and after a while, she asked curiously: "Why can pretending to be a cat scare away the night wanderer?"
"Since ancient times, cats have been able to see evil things and even cause damage to them, but the nocturnal spirits are very fragile in nature and cannot withstand any actual damage"
"I see" Lin Mo said suddenly, and then she fell asleep next to Qiu Wen.
Early in the morning, the sun shined through the windowsill, sprinkled on the two of them, Lin Mo opened her eyes lazily, last night's incident, she couldn't remember whether it was a dream or reality, she pushed Qiu Wen, who was sleeping like a dead pig on the side, and woke her up, today is going to officially start the archaeological work.
In order not to let Xu Tianfeng gossip, Lin Mo was not lazy, he and Qiu Wen washed up and walked out, in front of the four green houses, I don't know when to put together a big table, on which there are all kinds of archaeological tools, some people in the team have begun to pick up familiar tools and start to go to the nearby mountains and forests.
The only goal now is to find the tomb first.
This time, Xu Tianfeng was not as verbose and instructive as usual, after all, archaeology was not something he could complete alone.
"Sister Mo, Sister Qiu, good morning"
Lu Juhu walked over from the side and greeted the two.
"Good morning," Lin Mo nodded with a smile.
"Early" Qiuwen yawned and waved her hand.
Lu Juhu smiled, looked at the empty hands of the two women, and asked, "What tools are you going to use to find the tomb?"
Lin Mo didn't answer immediately, but glanced at Lu Juhu's hands, only to see that he was wearing white gloves on both hands, one of which was holding a Luoyang shovel, and couldn't help but look at him deeply, this Luoyang shovel used to be used by tomb robbers, but in modern times, the Luoyang shovel has become more and more used, and many archaeologists have also used the Luoyang shovel.
But this Luoyang shovel is not available to everyone, without a few years of research, it is difficult to use the Luoyang shovel to find the grave, but looking at the confidence in Lu Juhu's eyes, he must be very sure of the application of the Luoyang shovel, which makes Lin Mo curious, this Lu Juhu is not very old, if he can use the Luoyang shovel flexibly, that is to say, he has already been in contact with the Luoyang shovel when he was young.
However, this is someone else's private matter, and Lin Mo doesn't need to pursue it, after all, she is not actually familiar with this Lu Juhu, so for Lu Juhu's question, she pointed to her head and said, "Rely here"
