After a while, I came to my senses from the shock and shouted to the empty river surface: "Master!Master! Where are you?"

Hurry!

Grandpa climbed up from the stern of the boat, drizzled all over, and kept dripping water downwards. He waved at me with a tired look on his face: "Baby, let's go home!"

From beginning to end, my grandfather never told me what was strange underwater, but since then my grandfather rarely took me out of the boat to catch corpses. On several occasions, I insisted on following my grandfather on the boat, but I was scolded and driven down. Later, my grandfather kept asking me to study hard, and when I grew up, I went outside and left Hezi Village. In order to cultivate my tenacious personality, when I was twelve years old, my grandfather sent me to Shaolin, Songshan to learn martial arts for two years.

Perhaps children who are not as sensible as parents are very early. I studied very hard. At the age of 18, I was admitted to a higher education in the northwest. Perhaps what I saw and heard since childhood made me particularly interested in strange things, so I entered the archaeology major and studied under Professor Ye Sheng, a famous archaeology industry in the northwest.

Because I am smart and studious, and have a talent in archaeology, Professor Ye values ​​me very much. Although I am only in my twenties, I have accumulated a lot of rich archaeological experience. In addition to me, Professor Ye also has a very important female assistant, Gu Meidi.

Strictly speaking, Gu Meidi is my junior sister. She and I graduated from the same university and are a classmate. Gu Meidi is very talented, she is involved in astronomy, history, geography and biology, and has a super-noticeable ability to remember everything. She is known as an encyclopedia. In addition, her skills are also very good, and it is said that she has reached the level of the fourth stage of Taekwondo Black Belt. However, Gu Meidi is most famous for not only these, but her most famous is her natural ghost eyes, that is, Yin and Yang eyes. However, these are all rumors in the school back then. As for whether Gu Meidi has Yin and Yang eyes, it is unknown.

On this day, we followed Professor Ye to guide the work at the site of an ancient tomb excavation site in Zhengzhou. It was already sunset when the work was over, and the crimson sunset was flying in the sky like silk. As soon as we returned to the lounge, an archaeological team member found me: "Comrade Tuoba Gu, you are back. Your cell phone rang for a day. Later, I picked it up for you. It was your grandfather who called me. He said he had something important to come to you and asked you to call him quickly after you come back!"

I picked up my phone in confusion. Grandpa knew that I was busy with work, so he rarely called me. Today he suddenly called me on his own initiative and said that if there was something important to me, what important thing would it be? An uneasy feeling inexplicably surged in my heart.

After a long beep, grandpa’s slightly hoarse voice came from the other end of the phone: “Hey!”

I said, "Grandpa, it's me! I just came back from the studio. You are so anxious to find me. Is there anything wrong?"

Grandpa pondered for a moment: "Xiaogu, can you take the time to go home?"

I said, "Grandpa, I have been busy in recent days. Can you tell me if you have anything to do?"

After a while, my grandfather slowly said on the other end of the phone: "I caught a bad object in the Yellow River two days ago!"

I was slightly stunned: "Evil object? What is it?"

Grandpa suddenly said, "Xiaogu, have you ever seen a coffin?"

I was a little happy: "Grandpa, aren't you teasing me? I'm a person who studies archaeology and I see more coffins than women!"

Grandpa lowered his voice and said, "Have you ever seen a coffin hidden in a turtle shell?"

"What?!" I didn't understand for a moment: "The coffin hidden in the turtle shell?!"

"Yes! The coffin hidden in the turtle shell! I have been running on the ancient Yellow River Road for most of my life and have never seen such an object. I think this thing is so evil and may be unusual. I think you are studying archaeology, so I want to ask you to come back and take a look!"

To be honest, I have indeed seen many coffins in recent years, of various materials and shapes, and there are countless of them. I have seen white jade coffins, stone coffins, octagonal coffins, human-shaped coffins. I have also seen coffins buried in the soil, buried in the water, and even hidden in the heart of a tree, but I have never heard of coffins hidden in the turtle shells. After hearing what my grandfather said, I also think this matter is a bit strange.

I asked my grandfather: "Have you opened the coffin?"

Grandpa said: "No! I thought this was not an ordinary object, so I didn't dare to open it easily!"

"Yeah!" I nodded and told my grandfather, "Don't touch it first, wait until I come back to see it before making a decision!"

After hanging up the phone, Professor Ye walked to me: "What's wrong?"

I said, "Something happened at home, I might have to go back!"

Professor Ye patted me on the shoulder: "You rarely take leave at work. You must have something big at home, so will you tell me what's wrong?"

My relationship with Professor Ye is both a teacher and a friend. In front of him, I almost didn't hide it. I told him truthfully: "Grandpa called me and said that he had caught a very strange coffin in the Yellow River a few days ago and wanted me to go back and take a look!"

Professor Ye frowned: "Strange coffin?"

I nodded: "Yes! A very strange coffin! Maybe you haven't seen it before! According to my grandfather, that coffin is hidden in the turtle shell!"

"Oh?" Professor Ye's face showed a look of surprise: "The coffin hidden in the turtle shell? I really haven't seen it before! I think it may be a bit tricky for you alone. Let's do this, I'll let Gu Meidi go with you!"

I declined Professor Ye’s kindness: “No need to be so troublesome, I can handle it alone! The work here is already busy enough, so Gu Meidi should stay here to help you!”

Professor Ye said: "Don't be proud of yourself. I'll be relieved to have Gu Meidi accompany you. There is not much here, Captain Li and the others will help you with it!" After saying this, Professor Ye called Gu Meidi to his side: "Gu Meidi, I'll give you a task and go back to your hometown with Tuoba Gu!"

"Ah?!" Gu Meidi looked at me in confusion, then looked back at Professor Ye: "What are I doing when I go back to my hometown with him?"

Professor Ye smiled and said, "Go home with him to get an archaeological process!"

Professor Ye said everything about this, and I couldn't continue to refuse, so I simply packed my luggage. Professor Ye called a provincial archaeological team's off-road vehicle and asked the driver to take Gu Meidi and me to the train station.

In the early morning, Gu Meidi and I boarded the train to Sanmenxia City. Because we were thinking about the strange coffin, we were not sleeping. The train rumbled and shook, and I stared at the dark night sky outside in a daze.

Gu Meidi turned his head and asked me, "How long does it take to get to your house?"

I told her: "It takes five or six hours. We will arrive in Sanmenxia city at about dawn, and then take a bus for more than an hour to reach the county town, and then take a small one..."

"Stop! Stop!" Gu Meidi rubbed his temples: "Oh my God! How remote is the place where you live? After hearing what you said, I feel like my head is almost overwhelmed!"

I smiled apologetically: "I just said I wouldn't let you come, Professor Ye insisted that you follow me!"

Gu Meidi stretched and said in a bright mood: "Oh, I've been exhausted these days, so it's good to come out and let the air go! By the way, I suddenly thought of a very serious problem. What do I want to do when I go home with you? Professor Ye said, "What does it mean to go home with you to archaeology? What's going on in your home? I think you should tell me, I can't just follow you so confused..."

Gu Mei flute asked a long list of questions like a cannon, and I had to tell her the truth: "A few days ago, my grandfather caught a coffin in the Yellow River!"

"Coffin?" Gu Meidi looked at me in confusion: "Is there a treasure in the coffin?"

"No!" I waved my hand and said, "Don't interrupt me first, listen to me finish! That coffin is not an ordinary coffin, but... a coffin hidden in a turtle shell!"

"Ah?!" Gu Meidi opened her mouth wide. Even though she was knowledgeable and talented, she had never seen a coffin hidden in a turtle shell. She was quite surprised when she heard it.

I said, "Grandpa thought that coffin was extraordinary and might be something evil, so he asked me to go back and take a look!"

Gu Meidi looked at me in confusion: "This thing is indeed evil enough! But I am very curious about what your grandfather does? Why did he fish a coffin on the Yellow River and go back? Did he fish for fishing?"

I shook my head and smiled and said, "He is not a fisherman. He is engaged in a very mysterious job - the Yellow River corpse fisherman!"

"What?!What?!" Gu Meidi took out his ears in disbelief: "The Yellow River... the corpse fisherman... what kind of job is this?"

I smiled and said, "Simply put, I just help people salvage corpses on the Yellow River. Do you understand?"

Gu Meidi blinked her eyes: "It seems like I understand a little bit!"

Woo--

Accompanied by a long whistle, we finally arrived at Sanmenxia Railway Station.

I stretched my waist and stood up, and naturally walked off the train with Gu Meidi's hand.

The morning light bathes in the train station, and the crisscrossing railway tracks are shining with mottled luster, as if they are telling the legends that have gone far away.

When I walked out of the train station, I turned around and asked Gu Meidi if I wanted some breakfast, but I saw Gu Meidi standing behind me with flushed cheeks.

I asked with concern: "What's wrong? Could it be that I caught a cold?"

Gu Meidi glanced at me shyly: "When are you going to hold my hand?"

"Oh! Sorry! Sorry!" I quickly let go of my hand and smiled at Gu Meidi awkwardly. I swear to the sky that I absolutely have no dirty idea of ​​taking advantage of her. When I got off the train, I was crowded, and I just took her hand rationally. I was afraid that other men would do this.

I thought Gu Meidi would scold me, but who knew Gu Meidi put his mouth to my ear and said softly: "It's the first time you hold a girl's hand?"

I ran away awkwardly: "Wait, I'll buy you two pancakes!"

Actually, before this, I really had no distracting thoughts about Gu Meidi. Now that she said this, my heart jumped up a lot. I must admit that it was indeed the first time I held a girl's hand, and Gu Meidi's hand was really smooth and tender.
Chapter completed!
