Chapter 10 Dr. Zhou
Zhang Shouqing looked at the people in the old ancestral hall. He only hoped that his ancestor's anger had been resolved by his master and the old man, and that his ancestor's body had rotted and turned into a pile of loess.
Because only the ancestor has become a pile of loess, it proves that the soul of the ancestor has left the body and gone to reincarnation.
At this time, around the old ancestral hall, there were not only the police and exploration teams, but also municipal archaeologists. They all thought that an underground tomb was discovered here and protected the place.
Zhang Shouqing thought for a long time and felt that he should not sit still and wait for death. He said to the village chief Li Changgen: "Old Li, please think of a way to see if you can let us in. Let's meet their managers. It would be best if we can persuade them. Just in case.
If you can't convince me, it would be better if I were next to my ancestors."
"Okay!" Li Changgen responded and immediately passed through the police isolation zone. However, before taking two steps, Li Changgen was stopped by two policemen.
One of the tall policemen was a little angry and said angrily: "Old man, this is a separation zone, and you shouldn't come in."
Li Changgen was a simple and honest man and said with a smile: "Comrade police, I am the head of Yutang Village, and I am looking for you to take charge of things here."
When the policeman heard that the fifty-year-old man was the head of Yutang Village, he did not embarrass Li Changgen. He said, "That's it... you wait here, I'll ask Dr. Zhou."
Then the tall policeman asked another person to keep an eye on Li Changgen, and he walked straight into the old ancestral hall.
The old ancestral hall in Yutang Village is as big as a basketball court. The old ancestral hall has long been dilapidated and only a few wooden walls that are about to rot are left. But behind the cover of these wooden walls, it has a different appearance.
Inside the old ancestral hall, a huge deep pit that is twenty meters wide and thirty meters long has been dug. The pit is about ten meters high.
At this time, except for a few security personnel staying above the ground, everyone else was below the pit.
The tall policeman walked into the ancestral hall, then looked down into the pit and shouted: "Dr. Zhou, the head of Yutang Village has something to ask you. Do you want him to come down?"
The man called Dr. Zhou is an old man about sixty years old, but very energetic. There is not even a trace of gray hair on this old man's head, and he looks very well-kept.
Dr. Zhou stood in the crowd and heard the shouts from above the pit. He picked up a loudspeaker and shouted to the ground: "You told him to come down. Maybe he said something to prevent us from digging this ancient tomb."
If it's okay, let him come down and talk to me in person."
"Okay, Dr. Zhou, you're busy then." The tall policeman walked out of the old ancestral hall with a smile and came to Li Changgen's side.
"Village Chief, Dr. Zhou told you to go down and tell him in person if you have anything to do," the tall policeman said.
"That's good!" Li Changgen immediately called to Zhang Shouqing who was still in the crowd.
When Zhang Shouqing saw Li Changgen making a gesture, he was not polite and led his two brothers Zhang Zichen into the isolation zone.
"Hey, didn't you see? Isolated zone, no one is allowed to enter here." The tall policeman had just released Li Changgen when he saw three more people walking into the isolation zone, so he quickly stopped them.
"Comrade policeman." At this time, Li Changgen left and came to the side of the tall policeman. He pointed at the three Zhang Shouqing and said, "The three of them are with me. We are meeting Dr. Zhou together. We really have something to do with him."
The tall policeman looked at Li Changgen a little suspiciously, but he didn't want to run back and forth. He thought, anyway, he had just reported to Dr. Zhou. Since Dr. Zhou agreed to see the person, let them go in together!
"Okay, okay, you go in." The tall policeman was very easy-going. He pointed to a very ordinary iron cage and said, "You guys go into that iron cage. The red button means go down, and the green button
Representatives come up."
This machine is most common on construction sites. It is a very common simple elevator with an iron cage and two up and down buttons. It is very convenient.
Zhang Zichen looked down from the elevator and saw that there were at least twenty people in the pit. Everyone was surrounding a fiery red stone tablet in the center, not knowing what they were talking about.
The speed of this elevator was very slow, but the pit was only ten meters deep. Within two minutes, Zhang Zichen and his party of four fell to the bottom of the pit.
"Haha... which one of you is the village chief of Yutang Village?" Dr. Zhou, who was wearing a blue suit, saw four people taking the elevator to the bottom and walked over to say hello enthusiastically.
However, Dr. Zhou's eyes were focused on Li Changgen and Zhang Shouqing. He would not think that Zhang Zichen and Zhang Jianfeng, two children who looked to be in their teens, would be the heads of a village.
"Dr. Zhou, are you Dr. Zhou?" Li Changgen said with a naive smile, "I am the village chief Li Changgen."
"Village Chief Li, hello, I am Zhou Wenchang, the person in charge of excavation of the ancient tomb this time!" Dr. Zhou stretched out his hands and squeezed Li Changgen's hand, "Village Chief Li, we were looking for you a few days ago.
But the deputy village chief said that you went to visit relatives at your daughter's house in the county town."
Li Changgen smiled awkwardly and said, "Yes, as soon as I come back, you will start digging our ancestral graves."
Zhou Wenchang immediately waved his hand and said: "No, no, no, where are you digging your ancestral graves? This is a cultural relic, a treasure, a national treasure. It is not private property. It does not belong to you or me, but to the People's Republic of China.
.And we have discussed this matter with the deputy village chief. In order to make up for your psychological trauma, the government has decided to subsidize you three thousand yuan each, which is a lot of money!"
Li Changgen smiled bitterly and shook his head. He regretted it now because it was too late.
Zhou Wenchang smiled, then looked at the three people behind Li Changgen and asked: "Village Chief Li, who are these three?"
Li Changgen was stunned and didn't know how to explain to Dr. Zhou for a moment.
Just when Li Changgen didn't know what to answer, Zhang Shouqing stepped forward, clasped his hands in his fists, bowed very politely, and said with a smile: "Dr. Zhou, I am a Taoist priest, and the two following are my apprentices."
"Tao...Taoist?" Dr. Zhou was stunned.
"That's right, Taoist priest!" Zhang Shouqing replied with certainty. This is not the period of the Cultural Revolution. If he says that he is a Taoist priest, he will be looked down upon by others at most, but he will not be sentenced to death.
Zhou Wenchang is old and has a lot of life experience, so he reacts very quickly: "Then you Taoist priests are here to perform rituals for the ancestors of the Li family?"
Zhang Shouqing smiled, shook his head and said: "No, we are not here to do anything, but to persuade Dr. Zhou not to dig up this ancestral grave. There is a huge murderer hidden in it!"
Zhou Wenchang frowned. He has been an archaeologist for more than thirty years. Sometimes when he encounters some ancient tombs, it is indeed very difficult.
