Section 181 Archaeological Camp

"Uncle, you must have remembered it wrong."

"Impossible." The driver said in a affirmative tone: "I will never remember it wrong! I don't know how many years have passed. No matter what you are going to do, I advise you to give up your thoughts as soon as possible, because it is very evil there!"

I was not afraid of evil things, so I said, "Uncle, we are actually museum staff. An ancient tomb is located near Anning Village. We went to archaeology."

The driver thought for a while: "It's a hundred kilometers from here to Anning Village, which is a long distance of 400 yuan."

"Uncle, it's too expensive, is it okay for 300?" I bargained on the spot.

The driver shook his head: "To be honest, I don't want to go to four hundred. The place is too remote and no one has ever heard of it. Otherwise, you can go find other drivers."

Xu Ningrou raised her head and said, "Xiaolong, why don't you just take this car? We'll arrive before dark."

"That's it." I changed my smiley face and said to the driver: "Uncle, you are an old driver when you see that you are a veteran driver. You will definitely drive steadily, so I'll take your car!"

The uncle did not disappoint us. He drove to Anning Village in an hour and a half. From a distance, you can see that the chimney in the village was smoking. The bastard sat in the passenger seat and said, "Brother, don't you say that this place is abandoned? Look, there are still people cooking."

Along the way, the bastard was already familiar with the driver, and he called out a man at once, calling him very kindly.

The driver scratched his head awkwardly: "It's impossible. When I was a child, my mother always told ghost stories, saying that there were people-eating monsters here."

Doudou smiled and said, "Uncle, that's a scare of the child."

"Haha." The driver smiled and said nothing, because he felt like he was slapped in the face...

A jeep was parked at the entrance of the village, and an old man in his sixties was sitting in the car. He was from the archaeological team and came to pick us up.

After getting off the car, we walked over, and Xu Ningrou shook hands with the old man: "Is it Professor Luo?"

The old man nodded and said, "It's me, but... didn't your museum send only two people here?"

Xu Ningrou explained: "It's like this Professor Luo. This is my boyfriend Bruce Lee and the other is his friend Yang Jiannan. They are very knowledgeable about the mechanism of the ancient tombs, so I invited them over in my private name."

"That's it, welcome." Professor Luo shook hands with me and the bastard.

When shook hands with the bastard, the bastard said, "Brother, you have some yin energy."

Why do this guy call anyone a brother? He can be your grandfather at this age, right? But...what is the yin energy? Why didn't I feel it? You know, I am very sensitive to yin energy, and I can feel it even if I don't open my eyes.

Professor Luo was stunned for a moment and asked, "What?"

I replied very quickly, "Professor Luo, he praised you for being heroic, and he was obviously an upright person."

"Haha, you're a terrible old man, what a heroic one? Get in the car and take you to the scene first."

Before getting into the car, I grabbed the bastard and asked in a low voice: "Is there really a yin energy on Professor Luo?"

The bastard replied, "It's a little, but not much."

I nodded slightly: "It's normal for them to get some yin energy in their bodies..."

In the car, Professor Luo excitedly introduced the ancient tomb, saying that the owner of the tomb was from the Song Dynasty and there were many burial objects in the tomb. It can be said that it was a major appearance and could allow future generations to understand the culture of the Song Dynasty better.

Then, Xu Ningrou, Doudou and Professor Luo talked about porcelain, which were all professional terms, such as celadon white porcelain, black porcelain, Ru kiln, official kiln, etc. Anyway, I couldn't understand it, so I looked at the scenery outside the window.

After driving a rugged mountain road, I finally arrived at the camp. The camp was supported by three engineering tents, with a deep pit in the middle, and a cordon was pulled around the pit. It seemed that it was undoubtedly the tomb.

After getting off the car, Professor Luo shouted loudly: "Don't be busy, come out and introduce a few new comrades to you!"

Soon, four figures walked out of the tent one after another. The first one was a bald middle-aged man in his black jacket and over forties; the second was a middle-aged man wearing a blue shirt and glasses, looking gentle; the next was a short and fat middle-aged woman with freckles on her face, and a fifty-year-old; the last one was a young man in his thirties, wearing a beige windbreaker, handsome facial features and a sunny smile on his face.

Professor Luo first introduced us, then pointed to the bald middle-aged man and said, "This is Lao Fang, an expert in antique calligraphy and painting."

He pointed at the middle-aged man wearing glasses again: "Old Chen, geological expert."

Then he pointed to the short and fat middle-aged woman: "Zhou Li, the archivist, will record every antique unearthed, she will need to record in detail."

Professor Luo was about to introduce the last one, but Doudou asked first: "This one is Baicai, is Professor Bai?"

The young man smiled gently and said, "Do you know me?"

"Ah, it's really you!" Doudou showed an excited look: "Professor Bai, I am your fan. I often read your thesis before graduation. It's great to see you!"

Bai Cai smiled and looked at Xu Ningrou and said, "But I admire Miss Xu even more. She proposed several new antique restoration methods. I didn't expect that Miss Xu is not only smart but also so beautiful."

"Thank you for your praise." Xu Ningrou replied, looked at Professor Luo and asked, "Are there only a few people in the archaeological team?"

Professor Luo replied: "Several comrades feel uncomfortable and resting in the village may be caused by the lack of air circulation in the tomb."

"Then they don't matter?"

Professor Luo waved his hand: "It's okay, there are villagers taking care of them."

"That's good." Xu Ningrou looked at her watch and said, "Then let's start the antique appraisal work now."

"Xiao Xu, you've been traveling all the way, don't rush to work. Let's go to have a meal first. The mutton in this village is very delicious." Speaking of the mutton, Professor Luo's stomach roared twice.

Xu Ningrou politely declined: "No, Professor Luo, we are not hungry, so we should work quickly."

"Haha, Xiao Xu, you guys are really dedicated. Lao Fang, is it your turn to be on duty tonight?"

The bald middle-aged man nodded and was about to speak when the young Professor Bai suddenly said, "Brother Fang, you go back and rest today. I will stay on duty and discuss and study with Miss Xu."

Professor Luo smiled and said, "Okay, you young people communicate more, so we old bones will go back and rest first."

After saying that, he drove Lao Fang, Lao Chen and Zhou Li away, preparing to return to the village to rest.

The slut said with a slight gaze that he also wanted to eat mutton, but I ruthlessly refused.

There is no reason, just because I’m in a bad mood! That Professor Bai is very attentive to Ningrou! But he needs work and I can’t stop him, so he said to the slut in anger: “What kind of mutton? Go around and see if there is anything unclean!”

The bastard agreed and ran out happily. I walked around the tomb to investigate. According to Professor Luo, the tomb was not large in size, and the body of the tomb owner had rotted and only a pile of dead bones were left, so it was impossible for the corpse to transform and the yin energy was not felt, so there should be no problem.

Not long after, the bastard came back, and said with a complaining expression on his face: "Brother, there is nothing nearby. I wanted to catch some wild game. If I had known it, I would have gone to the village to eat mutton with them."

"If you don't eat a meal, you won't starve to death. Are there any ghosts or places with rich yin energy nearby?"

"No." The bastard shook his head and said, "There is a small river nearby. I'll go see if I can catch a fish and come back."

I waved my hand and said, "Go, be careful...wait, can you swim?"

The bastard turned around and said with a contemptuous expression: "Brother, my nickname is Landfish."

Hearing this, I lay down a trough, and I dared to go into the water with such an amazing nickname? Isn’t this asking for death? So I pointed to the project tent and said, “Go to protect Ningrou Doudou, call if you have something to do, and leave it to me for catching fish.”

"Brother, go with peace of mind!"

I rolled my eyes: "How can I feel at ease when you say that? Remember, keep a close eye on Professor Bai, and I always feel that he is not like a good person."

The bastard smiled and said, "Brother, you are jealous of the handsomeness of others."

"Stop talking nonsense! Do you still want to eat grilled fish?"

The bastard quickly changed his words: "Brother, you are the most handsome man I have ever met!"

Seeing that he was so sensible, I didn't say anything more and walked towards the stream...

………………………………………

After walking about two kilometers, I saw the small river mentioned by the Jian Man. The river was about fifteen meters wide and the water was very turbid. I couldn't see clearly what was under the water. There was a rotten smell. Can there be fish in it?

I picked up a piece of branch, squatted by the river and stirred it a few times. The water surface ripples spread out, but I didn't see any trace of fish. So I stumbled down the branch and stirred it harder, but the branch seemed to have hooked something. I pulled it up and took a piece of broken steps... and a piece of white bone!

I was also shocked when such a thing suddenly appeared, but after carefully looking at the bones, my face became even more gloomy!

This is a human forearm ulna, with a very thin wrist. From the size, it is either a woman or a child. The metacarpal bone is connected to a piece of index finger, and the rest is gone. It is because the index finger is hooked with a piece of cloth that is brought up.

I have seen many corpses. If they were just ordinary white bones, they would not have scared me, but the arm bone was only half and the incision was smooth. In other words, this arm was cut off by a sharp weapon!

Moreover, this ‘river’ is stagnant water. Strictly speaking, it should be a stinky pond like a ‘river’. In other words, the arm bone cannot be rushed over from other places. There must have been an extremely tragic thing here! When you have time to go to the village, you may be able to find out something from the villagers.
