Chapter 62 Accidentally Joining the Archaeological Team
Chapter 62 Accidentally Joined the Archaeological Team
Xiao Ran couldn't remember at all when, where, or why he wrote these messy things. He only remembered the room on the fourth underground floor of the Kwantung Army in Yerengou where the giant three-eyed tower was locked.
In the secret room, when he saw the handwritten book written with strange words, he felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity, but that was all.
He had no idea that when he was a child, he would actually write something like this in his own hand that would make people uncomfortable just by looking at it.
He hypothesized in his mind that perhaps this kind of writing was also an ancient relic, a long-lost writing, and used this as a starting point to listen carefully, but in the end, except for a headache, there was no practical result.
He went to ask Bei Jiukuo and Yin Yangjing for their opinions, and the responses they received were "I haven't seen it" and "It looks a bit evil" respectively.
Isn’t this nonsense? Show it to Aunt Wang and she will say the same thing. It’s a magic weapon...
The information given by his second uncle was too explosive. He had just thought of finding his place and responsibility in this world, but unexpectedly he became the successor of General Qiu Zhonglang. But combined with his recent encounters and his own changes, he
There is no way to question what the second uncle said.
Xiao Ran decided not to tell Hu Bayi and the others the news yet, and would wait until the time was right.
In the past few days, when Xiao Ran had nothing to do, he went to see Hu Bayi, Fatty Wang, and Da Jinya for a drink and a chat, and his life was relaxed and happy. The second uncle was still like a dragon, and he didn't know what he was busy with, but occasionally
Come back.
A few days later, there was finally news from Dajinya that they had made an appointment with Professor Chen from the archaeological team, so they took the three of them to Professor Chen's office.
When Da Jinya led a few people in, Professor Chen was discussing something with his assistant. His office was very simple, with only a large bookcase filled with books, a desk, a few chairs and an old sofa.
"Professor Chen! The Feng Shui expert I told you about is here!"
Da Jinya greeted him warmly as soon as he entered the room. Professor Chen nodded friendly, but the assistant next to him frowned, seeming a little dissatisfied with Da Jinya's sudden arrival.
The fat man muttered into Hu Bayi's ear: "This old professor seems to be almost seventy, isn't he? Can this little body make it into the desert?"
It is true that Professor Chen's hair is gray and he is a little bald. He looks dry and thin, and it feels like a gust of wind and sand could wrap him up and blow him away.
Hu Ba nodded and said: "There is also Lao Jiu next to him, who has a bitter and hateful look on his face. Intellectuals like this are usually stubborn, stubborn and love to cause trouble..."
Xiao Ran looked at the assistant next to the professor. It should be Hao Aiguo. He had a messy head of hair, two big glasses with thick bottoms of wine bottles, and his eyebrows and sunken cheeks. He had a naturally resentful face.
.
He was also wearing a gray tunic suit and two blue cotton sleeves. He looked exactly like a character from an old movie. Such an image of a character is usually synonymous with being old-fashioned and unkind, but it also means studying.
Rigorous and hardworking.
Sure enough, before Professor Chen could speak, Hao Aiguo spoke first.
"Everyone, we have received too many people recently, so I will get straight to the point. You are all here to join the archaeological team, so you naturally already know the requirements of the archaeological team. This time we are recruiting professional talents from the society in an unusual way, and what we need is
People who have desert survival and adventure experience may need to understand the constellations and Feng Shui. If you don’t meet the above conditions, then you can only ask you to go back, no matter who introduced me, it will be useless.”
At the end of his sentence, he glanced at the big gold tooth.
These words made the scene a little awkward for a moment. Hu Bayi kept a straight face and said nothing, while the fat man rolled his eyes and stopped looking at Hao Aiguo. However, Da Jinya still kept smiling. It seemed that this was not the first time he had interacted with Hao Aiguo.
Hao Aiguo got involved.
Upon seeing this, Professor Chen quickly stood up and came over to invite everyone to sit down. After all, he and Da Jinya and his son also had some exchanges of antique knowledge, and he did not want to ruin their friendship.
But when he saw Xiao Ran, he was suddenly stunned. He adjusted his glasses, held Xiao Ran's hand and said in surprise: "Xiao Ran? Are you Xiao Ran? Xiao Changfeng's son?"
Pictures suddenly flashed through Xiao Ran's mind like a movie reel. Professor Chen, who was nearly fifty years old, was standing in front of him. He looked so tall, smiling and touching his head, calling him "Xiao Ran".
Xiao Ran spoke subconsciously: "Chen...Grandpa Chen..."
Professor Chen quickly pulled him to sit down and called the others to sit down. Da Jinya, Hu Bayi, and Wang Kaixuan were full of curiosity, wondering how they met.
Professor Chen pointed at Xiao Ran and said to everyone: "His father Xiao Changfeng is my best student, and his achievements in archaeological research in Western Xinjiang have surpassed mine. It's a pity that God is jealous of talents. His parents went to Western Xinjiang for inspection a few years ago.
He disappeared unexpectedly. Later I heard that some relics had been recovered, but I still don’t want to believe that Changfeng is gone..."
Professor Chen's eye circles were slightly red and his voice was slightly trembling.
He held Xiao Ran's hand and continued: "I have been traveling around in other places for the past two years, and I have only returned to Beijing in the past few months. How are you recently?"
Although Xiao Ran didn't completely remember things related to Professor Chen, he could feel the familiar intimacy and said, "I'm sorry for your concern. Ordinarily, I should come to visit you on behalf of my parents, but something happened a few months ago."
I had a car accident and I just recovered recently. I can’t even remember some things in the past.”
Professor Chen lamented Xiao Ran's experience and said "poor child" as if Xiao Ran was still a young child.
After hearing this, Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan looked at Da Jinya with doubts on their faces, wondering how he didn't know that Professor Chen and Xiao Ran had this relationship.
Da Jinya quickly explained: "My dad and I mainly talked about antiques with Professor Chen, and it was not easy to inquire about Professor Chen's personal relationships. Besides, it was through the incident last time that Xiao Ran and I got closer.
, I was just an acquaintance in the past, how could I know such things..."
Professor Chen finished sighing and asked Xiao Ran: "Do you also want to join the archaeological team when you come here this time?"
Xiao Ran has been thinking about whether he has a suitable reason to join the archaeological team these days, but he still can't figure it out. Hu Bayi is the only one who understands Tianxing Feng Shui, and Fatty has a ghost cave jade pendant related to Queen Jingjue.
And his marksmanship is good.
After much deliberation, he decided to use his ability to hear the sound discernor and the blessings of those artifacts to claim that he was an expert in cultural relics and could also provide some personal protection to Big Gold Teeth.
Now, he felt that he could play the emotional card, so he said: "I just wanted to re-walk the path my parents took and pay homage to them. I didn't expect that this archaeological team was organized by Grandpa Chen...Professor Chen
, then I have to fulfill my duties as a student for my father. I also have some research on cultural relic identification. As long as you need it, I will definitely be able to provide you with some protection and help to the best of my ability."
Hao Aiguo, who insisted on his principles, wanted to say something, but was stopped by Professor Chen.
Professor Chen nodded firmly: "If you are willing, I can recommend you to join. It's a pity. You have been smart since you were a child. If you didn't have mental illness, you should be as good as your father..."
Hu Bayi, Wang Kaixuan, and Da Jinya looked at each other with big eyes. Now that Xiao Ran was the first to join the archaeological team, and because Xiao Ran had mental illness since childhood, they no longer knew which one should be surprised first.
Chapter completed!
