Holding the Taoist talisman drawn in advance, I took a deep breath and gently opened the door to look out.
It’s usually early to rest in the countryside. At this time, the lights are almost off and the rest is off. Except for the road not far away, a solitary street lamp still emits dim light. Other places are dark, tall and low buildings. In the night, it shows a vague outline. In the yard we stayed in, it was dark everywhere, and we couldn't see anything clearly.
Just as I was looking for the source of the crying in doubt, the strange thing was that the crying stopped when I didn't know, and there was no wind in the surroundings.
"Crack." Suddenly a very slight sound rang, like the sound of an old wooden door being opened.
I immediately fixed my eyes on the direction of the sound. If I remember correctly, the people living there are members of the archaeological team. As for the landlord of this yard, he has already moved to the neighbor’s house in advance. Went live.
A faint light shone on the ground, and then a thin and tall figure appeared in my sight. This person seemed to be worried about waking up others. When closing the door, he was careful and tried to stop the door from making any noise. Unfortunately, He overestimated the dilapidation of the door, "Crunch. Boom!" After a few more noises, the faint light was shut back by the door.
Then the light, I can see clearly, the person who sneaked out was the captain of the archaeological team, because the light was dim again at this time, I couldn't see his expression, I could only look at him vaguely. Movement, turning his head cautiously to look around, especially the direction of my room, looking up tightly.
I was shocked and subconsciously wanted to close the door or blow out the small oil lamp in the room, but it was too late. I could only stay motionless in place, thinking in my mind to find a good reason to explain. Secretly lying on the edge of the door, only to see that the captain has taken his gaze back and walked towards the gate of the yard.
Huh? what happened? Could it be that the gap opened by the door is not big enough to expose me
I murmured in my heart, I saw that the captain had already left the yard, and I quickly slid out the door, lifted the door forcefully, and gently closed the door, only to follow the captain far behind.
In the current season, although it is not very cold at night, it also started to feel a little bit of chill. In addition to the blow of the night breeze, I couldn't help but shiver, while hiding behind the hidden track, while muttering in my heart: this Most people don’t sleep in the middle of the night, what are they going to do? As soon as I saw the posture at the door, I knew it was sneaking out, hiding from the other people in the archaeological team. What do you want to do without hiding from other people
When I lost my mind, I found that the person I was following was nowhere to be seen. I immediately rushed to the corner of the captain and looked around. Behind the low wall on the side, a low and fine conversation faintly heard.
There is a situation!
When my eyes lit up, my cat lowered my waist and moved in the opposite direction of the low wall to the adjacent pyre. After pulling it, I looked through the gap.
Thanks to the fact that the wall is not very high, so in the dim light of the street lamp, I can clearly see that the captain is talking to a woman, both of them are sideways.
To me, because the captain’s face was against the light, I couldn’t see clearly, so what I saw at a glance was the woman’s face, with thin eyebrows and a nice nose. She was fairly good looking, and she looked very young and dressed. It's a bit old, but thinking about the economic conditions here, I feel relieved. The only thing that made me think was that this woman's face was so pale, it was the paleness that had completely lost her blood.
Generally speaking, this expression shows that the body is very weak, but judging from the expression of the woman’s conversation with the captain, there is no delicate performance, but very natural and calm. Then again, which ordinary woman Would you chat with a man in such a place most of the night? Could it be the captain’s friend
This is the only reasonable explanation I can find.
Now that I found the reason, I felt boring, and I was ready to retreat and go back to sleep. Just when I was about to move, the woman seemed to have spotted me. She looked straight in my direction, and a glimmer of her eyes flashed. The strange gaze, without waiting for me to look carefully, the other party withdrew his gaze.
I didn’t care about it. I just treated it as the woman’s suspicious temper. I stood up lightly, fearing that the captain would find that his underground love was broken by me, and braved my waist and returned to the side of the road. Seeing that there was nothing unusual around him, he wandered back to the yard and rested.
In the early morning of the next day, I was awakened by the sound of loud cock, so I could only turn over and get up, silently complaining: in a place like a mountain village, it’s really not easy to sleep in. , If you can’t sleep late, you can only get up and do things!
After brushing my teeth and washing my face, I pulled my chicken coop head and I went out to the living room for breakfast. As soon as I arrived at the door, I just ran into the captain who was eating by the threshold beside me.
Thinking of what I saw last night, I took the initiative to raise my hand and say hello: "Morning, Captain, you worked hard last night!" By the way, I winked my eyes.
"Huh?" The captain was gnawing on a white bun in his hand, and when he heard what I said, he was stunned in the same place, with a baffling expression on his face.
Install, you just continue to install! I cursed in my heart, but on the face I was afraid that the things I was following would be discovered, so he laughed and joined the ranks of breakfast.
When I squatted by the table and started to drink porridge, I glanced around the room. Very good, there are quite a few people from the archaeological team!
"While everyone is here, I will tell you about the tasks we are here." The captain finished the steamed buns, and started to drink porridge while he said, "This time, the place we are going to is in one place. In the hills, people who heard the report said that they had picked up some strange things, such as golden sands and porcelain pieces. They suspected that they had encountered tombs or altars, which were of high research value. Therefore, the top leaders gave the task to We find a specific location, if we can dig it up, and hand it over to the country."
Hearing the last sentence, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he glanced at the captain subconsciously, and couldn't help but stop, because it was only then that I could see clearly, the captain's face was very pale, as if he had a cold, it won't be yesterday. Did you go to the field at night
I lowered my head and gave a smirk. I didn't care. It was the most important thing to fill my stomach.
After breakfast, the archaeological team set off.
Two hours later, I followed the archaeological team to a not-so-high hill and found a relatively flat place. They began to get busy, inspecting the terrain, collecting materials for testing and so on. I had nothing to do for the time being. The live chickens inside were thrown aside, hiding in the corner, looking around at the scenery.
After a while, I heard members of the archaeological team scream happily. It seemed that they had found the position. When I leaned forward, I saw that they were already waving their tools and digging vigorously.
It’s a bit boring to be so idle all the time, so I picked up the shovel from the ground, and I walked over to help, but as soon as I got closer, I saw the place where they dug up. A lot of bones were already piled up next to them. I don't care, I'm still digging.
I just wanted to remind them, but I didn't know who had dug it with a hoe. The mountain suddenly shook, exposing large pieces of white bones, and it collapsed, revealing a dark hole.
For a while, everyone present was stunned.
This group of people are really amazing, they really have tombs or something! I was secretly surprised, and shouted: "Don't go in first, I'll try to catch the chicken."
I put a rope around the chicken feet, and I threw it into the hole hard.
After only listening to the sound of flapping my wings, the rope in my hand stopped moving. After a while, I dragged the chicken and found it was still alive and kicking, so I nodded to the archaeological team: "Okay." , There should be no problem. I'll go in first, and you can follow me."
With the mine lamp, I touched the charm in my pocket with one hand and the wall of the cave with the other. I cautiously walked in, looking at the front and the surroundings nervously. From time to time, a small fist or two appeared on the left and right sides of this passage Caves, it is the existence of these small holes that make us breathe without difficulty, but the bones of the previous hole always make my heart feel uneasy. I can only read the meditation mantra taught in the Taoist book over and over again.
There is not much space in the hole, but the passage is dark and long. The mine lamp can only shine about two or three meters away in front of you, so the end of the passage is pitch black, showing a gloomy cold wind.
As I walked, I found a ray of light in front of me. I quickly walked a few steps and leaned forward. The archaeologists behind me also followed. With a "swipe", they became excited, and they all rushed up. Throw me behind.
It was a small cave, as if it was dug out by a population. There was a box piled up in the corner of the cave. There were also some porcelain and gray metal utensils beside it. It was probably gold. There is also a narrow crack on the slope of the cave, from where a little halo falls.
Looking at the archaeological team members, they are all excited like the Chinese New Year. I know what they need, or the treasures here have been dug up. As long as I bring the things back, my mission will be completed.
What puzzles me is that nothing happened when I took my things back, and everything feels so smooth!
No, after I went back, I heard someone from the archaeological team secretly discussing that it was useless to take me as a special adviser, and it was a waste of funds and so on.
