Chapter 6: The Thief

Wang Shengzhong looked at Mo in surprise and asked, "Teacher Mo, what did I do wrong?"

"I think this Teacher Mo is teaching physical education, I don't know anything and dare to question Professor Wang, I really think that if I call you a teacher, you are a professor, don't be ashamed here."

"That's it, dare to say that my teacher is wrong, who gave you the guts, I followed the teacher to dig the grave, uh, when the archaeology, you still don't know where to pee and play in the mud. ”

"What do you have to say to him, hand it over to the security department, it must be a spy from which country came to make trouble, I think it must be an island pig, and the Tang Dynasty came to steal our radicals, and the font of the island country that is not refined is crooked, and it is disgusting to look at, hum"

Don't ask a wry smile, you just said your thoughts, can you hurt me so much?

"Shut up for me," Yang Ping saw Mo Wen's embarrassment and hurriedly yelled at everyone, "What's wrong with Teacher Mo being a physical education teacher, people also earn serious money and eat serious food, which is many times better than you who can only dig graves and rob graves!"

It's really a physical education teacher, everyone despises Mo Wen even more on their faces, but they don't dare to refute it openly, Yang Pingzhi and Wang Shengzhong are both national treasures, and the two often discuss problems together, so these people brought by Wang Shengzhong all know Yang Pingzhi, and they also know the temper of this old thing, and it is more difficult to reason with him than with women!

"Teacher Mo, tell me what I did wrong?" Wang Shengzhong squinted, without any unhappiness on his face, as if he hadn't seen the scene just now.

Mo Wen shrugged his shoulders, picked up the ruler next to him, walked to the stele and measured it, and then ran to the stele next to him to measure it, before turning around and saying, "Teacher Wang, although these two steles seem to look like the words "Heavenly Dao" when put together, if they are really put together, you will find that in fact, they don't fit at all. ”

Wang Shengzhong was stunned: "What are you doing?"

Mo Wen shook the ruler in his hand: "From top to bottom, the hyphenation distance of this stele is 2.5 meters, and the hyphenation of this stele is 2.55 meters, although there is only a deviation of 0.05 meters, but it is enough to show that these two steles really can't be put together." ”

"It's been so long and it's just weathered, and it's inevitable that there will be a bit of a gap. A disapproving voice was heard from the crowd.

"Two stone tablets less than ten meters apart, the same environment and the same terrain, why has this stone tablet been reduced so much?" Mo Wen asked rhetorically.

The crowd fell silent.

"What does Teacher Mo mean is that all these stone tablets are actually one piece, but they were cut off after they were written?" Yang Ping's eyes lit up.

Mo Wen nodded: "Yes, not only are they originally one piece, but I also suspect that all these words are written in one stroke." ”

"How is this possible?" Yang Ping's straight eyes almost popped out.

"I don't know much about this, but I'll wait until you put it together. Mo Wen shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently.

"Typesetting, you ancients are too smart. Filsa said adoringly.

Wang Shengzhong's eyes lit up, and it seemed that Filsa's words made him figure out something: "I understand, as long as all the words on all the stone tablets are arranged, the root of all this can be found, and it must be connected from end to end, without a trace of error." ”

"Teacher, there are hundreds of stone tablets in this total, and if they are arranged one by one, it will take half a month to say the least. A middle-aged man wearing rubber gloves holding a folder said.

Wang Shengzhong waved his hand: "This is also a last resort, you go and arrange someone to copy the words on the stone tablet, there can be no deviation, and other research work will also be suspended, and we will talk about it when this matter has a result." ”

"There is no progress in half a month, how can we explain to Minister He?"

"Confess?" Wang Shengzhong snorted coldly, "Do you have to dig up the grave? You must remember that you are archaeologists, not thieves who dig up graves and rob tombs!"

"Yes, teacher. Seeing that Wang Shengzhong was angry, the middle-aged man nodded hurriedly and trotted all the way to arrange work.

"Lao Wang, just for this point, Lao Tzu admires you and has courage. Yang Ping pointed straight at Wang Shengzhong.

"You admire Lao Tzu a lot. Wang Shengzhong glanced at Yang Pingzhi, turned his head to Mo Wen and said, "Then after we are arranged, we will trouble Teacher Mo to correct it." ”

"Teacher Wang is polite, this is what I should do. ”

It is undeniable that Mo Wen admires stubborn people, because only by sticking to their bottom line can they be called people.

Wang Shengzhong turned his head to look at everyone: "Don't you feel ashamed?"

Everyone is at a loss, what's going on?

Wang Shengzhong reprimanded with a cold face: "A professional group, a professional group called by the motherland and trusted by the state, has been here for almost two months, not only has it not found anything, but it also looks down on this and that, do you think you are very remarkable? In the eyes of outsiders, you are not like tomb robbers, you are originally tomb robbers, and if you don't say a word, you are digging, and taking the hard work and things of your ancestors as your own is the purpose of our archaeology?" If, thousands of years later, your corpse is exhumed by future generations, your bones are made into specimens for thousands of people to admire, and your hair and bone marrow are taken for testing, how did you die, how long have you been dead, how old are you male or female, and even whether you have any genetic diseases, will you feel at ease?"

The crowd was silent, and some even looked panicked, having not thought about it before, and did not dare to think about it, because they did it now.

"We are not ruthless people who have lost their humanity, the purpose of our archaeology is the exploration of culture and history, but also the awe of human life and death, if you are numb, even that trace of awe and shame no longer exists, then you are tomb robbers. The more Wang Shengzhong spoke, the more excited he became, and he gritted his teeth after the last moment.

"Now, all of us bow to Mr. Mo, it is he who retains our most detached humanity and awakens a trace of awe and shame in our hearts. ”

Wang Shengzhong said, took the lead and bent down to bow to Mo Wen, everyone was moved and dissatisfied, but no one dared to violate Wang Shengzhong's decision, and they all bowed silently.

To be honest, Mo Wen was moved at this moment, in fact, he didn't do anything, and even took his knowledge in the cultivation realm to be complacent, and disdained the people in the world, but Wang Shengzhong taught him a lesson while educating the students, it turned out that the world has more humanity than the cultivation realm, because there are still people here who talk about morality, but there are only about strength.

"Teacher Wang, don't be like this, get up quickly. Mo Wen hurriedly helped Wang Shengzhong up, "You really killed me, I didn't do anything!"

"It may be a gesture for you, but it means a lot to us, old man, I don't want to be called a grave robber until I die. Wang Shengzhong smiled, not ashamed of bowing to a young man.

Yang Pingzhi sighed: "I really regret not bringing the students, I should really let them see this scene, the world, all walks of life, although whether they are poor or poor, but each profession has its own ethics, as well as the awe and responsibility for their work, without that responsibility and awe, it is the loss of humanity." ”

Wang Shengzhong shook his head and smiled: "Okay Lao Yang, don't be too emotional here, I forgot to tell you that when you go to bed at night, each of you should not forget to put a thing you carry at the door of the dormitory, of course, it must be beautiful and good-looking, if you put the stinky socks at the door of the room, then no wonder I didn't remind you." ”

Mo asked strangely, "Why do you want to do this, is it the tradition of your industry?"

"What kind of tradition," Wang Shengzhong smiled bitterly, "it was for thieves." ”

"Thief?" Mo asked, raising his eyebrows, "What's going on?"

"It's really weird to say, let's go, go over there. ”

Wang Shengzhong instructed the others to continue working, and then took Yang Pingzhi and Mo Wen, as well as Filsa, to the pergola next to him, poured a cup of tea for the three of them, and then said with a wry smile: "This starts when we first arrived here two months ago, when all the equipment and daily necessities had not had time to be airlifted, we could only set up tents in the wild, but I didn't expect that when we woke up the next day, everyone had lost something, and at first we were suspicious of our own people, but because there was no evidence, so it was gone." ”

Wang Shengzhong took a sip of tea and continued: "Later, the plant was built, and the equipment was in place, so we put into the intense work, and gradually forgot about it, but the day after the troops were stationed, their section chief came to me, saying that the guard soldiers had lost something, and hoped to inspect the dormitory of our staff, didn't this distrust us, of course I disagreed, under the quarrel, the two sides reached an agreement, hoping to send someone to investigate this matter." ”

"What happened then?" Yang Pingzhi asked curiously.

Wang Shengzhong sighed helplessly: " What else?,I didn't find out after checking for several days.,Even if you don't see anything abnormal in the electronic eyes on it.,What's even funnier is that a few people who came to check were equipped with short guns.,The next day they were all lost.,But the strange people who were stolen once.,Never lost something again.,These two months here are also people-to-people.,There are often leaders to inspect.,But as long as a new person comes here.,Even if you come here to take a look.,It's bound to lose something.,And it's the most important thing for yourself.,The security department is also racking their brains.,The clues haven't been let go.,But there's still no trace of suspicion.,The most can't be reported.,So there's no result in going back and forth. And we have this tradition here, as long as there is a newcomer moving in, put a beautiful thing of your own at the door, if the next morning that thing is gone, you can rest assured, if not, then you are ready to bleed. ”

"Everyone only steals one thing, or the most important thing for themselves, and it's still right under your noses, what are you kidding, are your guards here all eating dry food. Yang Pingzhi rolled his eyes in disbelief.

"Anyway, I'm telling you, believe it or not, it's all up to you, if something important is stolen, don't come to me for compensation, I can't care, the fountain pen that the leader gave me back then was stolen by a thousand knives. Wang Shengzhong wanted to cry without tears.

"I have nothing but this old bone, and whoever wants to steal it will let him steal it. Yang Pingzhi said indifferently.

Filsa had been listening for a long time, and had a rough idea, but she did not speak, obviously it was not something she was interested in, but from time to time she looked at the grave outside the pergola, and her eyes were full of strangeness and doubt.

And Mo Wen was thoughtful, he was convinced that what Wang Shengzhong said must be true, people who can steal things under their noses, the guards here are just floating clouds.
