When Mr. Xu heard Mei Qian's denial, he chuckled, as if he had expected it. He took out a map from his pocket and pointed at several points marked with red pen on the map: "I wonder which of these locations is the ancient one discovered in your novel?"
Where is the tomb? Do you have any explanation?"
Mei Qian glanced at it, sweating profusely.
To be honest, when he was writing the book "I Heard I'm a Tomb Robber", he glanced at the official announcement of the new subway line and specifically chose the location in the old city, where there are alleys and complex terrain. I didn't expect the old man to be so thoughtful.
They are all marked on the picture.
But the project hasn't started yet, can he tell?
Therefore, he just shook his head and said that he was making it up and that there was no ancient tomb at all.
In fact, it doesn't matter if he is wrong. He is afraid that if he is a little casual, he will be right...
What followed was basically garbage time. Mei Qian didn't answer, but Mr. Xu and Professor Mao started discussing the drawings.
Mei Qian glanced at Ning Chi with envy, who was curled up on the recliner and playing with his mobile phone like a normal person. As the owner of the house, he could only accompany his guests in the living room.
The conversation between the two old men in front of him involved Feng Shui knowledge. He could understand it more or less, but sometimes he could only act like a dull gourd even though he knew the answer to the question.
Firstly, he wasn't interested, and secondly, he didn't dare to show it, which made it even more uncomfortable.
Fortunately, they didn't chat for long. After drinking a cup of tea, the two said goodbye. Mei Qian let out a sigh of relief. Although Mr. Xu was older, he had sharp eyes and was not easy to fool.
After the two left, Mei Qian quickly logged into the official website of the Archaeological Bureau on his mobile phone to see what new news there was. Unfortunately, apart from the information on various seminars, the work status on it was all from last year, and no one seemed to have updated it.
Could it be that another ancient tomb described in the novel has been discovered?
After thinking about it, he decided to call Maomao. As a family member of the archeology professor, he didn't know if he could get any new information.
Maomao hesitated and said she would ask.
She didn't wait long for a reply. Through her best friend who worked at the Archaeological Bureau, it was said that the things brought out from the Dongshan underground ruins last time had made great progress, but the specific progress could not be revealed.
The rest has nothing to do with Mei Qian.
However, when saying this, Maomao's tone was a little hesitant.
Mei Qian understood instantly that the Archaeological Bureau may have taken action in the near future, but it may be in the survey and confidentiality stage and cannot be made public.
It is estimated that although Maomao didn't ask, he felt it to some extent.
But these were enough to satisfy his curiosity.
What's the worst, but another entry in the official ledger? It doesn't matter to him anyway.
After putting down the phone, he turned around and saw Ning Chi, who was still collapsed into mud. He stepped forward and slapped the other person on the back of the head.
"Go and clean up the coffee table and mop the floor..."
I sighed in my heart. When Ning Chi first came here, he was such a hard-working young man. He didn't need to be asked to do anything. How did he become such a virtuous person after working with him for a few months?
Well, seeing that lazy look makes me angry...
------------------
The first lunar month is about to pass, and the weather is getting warmer. In the summer capital of the north, the temperature is still relatively low, but the ice on the river has melted early, and the wintersweet is blooming in full bloom. Mei Qian stood on the balcony overlooking the community, and saw the shallow lake beside the small lake.
of pink.
Only then did I realize that spring has really arrived.
He also felt that he had stayed in the room for too long during this period and should move around.
However, it didn't take long for him to think about it. Maomao now spoke slightly and asked whether this year's spring outing would be cancelled.
This is Mei Qian's repertoire. In the past few years, every time the seasons change, he always organizes some friends to go to the countryside to play. Occasionally, he will stay one night in a farmhouse to relax and feel the breath of nature.
Maomao was actually just asking if Mei Qian was still in the mood for team building after so many things happened last year.
Mei Qian said that the fine tradition must be maintained, of course. As for the location! It was the same as last year. He immediately asked Maomao to call and make a reservation, and the time would be two days later.
The reason why it has to be postponed for two days is because with Maomao's efforts, his side business has been expanded a little, and he is currently writing songs for people.
Of course, no big names are big enough to provide services to celebrities yet.
But in the entertainment industry, as an assistant, Maomao has a wider network than Mei Qian. He cannot reach the big-name managers, but he can still contact some young talents or third-tier singers for their business.
Because last year Mei Qian showed his voice in a variety show, and he can be said to be good at both lyrics and music.
At that time, someone contacted Maomao to invite her to sing, but was interrupted by what happened next.
Now that spring had just begun, Maomao felt uncomfortable with Mei Qian's leisure, so she accepted a few deals. The money was not much compared to the copyright fee, but it was enough to cover expenses for a period of time.
The key is that this is too simple for Mei Qian. He has a lot of classic songs in his mind. If he picks out just one, it will make the other party happy to death.
Therefore, this business has been doing well recently, and his reputation has spread in the circle.
But right now, I only have one promotional song on hand that was collected by the Xiadu Palace Management Office.
Sitting in front of the computer, Mei Qian tried to remember and finally found a song that was closer to the music.
First compose the music, and then start typing out the lyrics:
["Song of Guanchen"] It's like seeing a friendly guest outside the palace, the snow disappears without a trace. The red thread wraps around the tree in front of the courtyard, and the incense wisps fly like clouds. I lower my eyes to contemplate the endless night, watch the sound and recite the Bodhi Sutra softly...]
------------------
The scenery in Matougou on the outskirts of the summer capital cannot be said to be very good, but it has mountains and rivers. It is far away from the hustle and bustle but has convenient transportation. It is very suitable for urban residents to travel in their spare time.
The farmhouse that Maomao booked was also quite famous in the neighborhood, called "Youke Lai". The owner and chef Lao Liu was raving about the farmhouse food, so for four consecutive years, Mei Qian and others would stay here when they had events.
Already considered a regular customer.
It's a pity that this is the last time these people eat Lao Liu's food.
After asking, I learned that the farmhouse was about to change hands, and that Lao Liu had saved enough money and was preparing to go home to raise his grandson.
Mei Qian and Maomao looked at each other, feeling sorry for each other. They were afraid that they would not be able to eat each other's food in the future. However, it was their own business whether they would do it or not, and they had no position to say more, so they could only congratulate them.
This time, there were only three team members, Mei Qian, Ning Chi and Maomao. They did not find anyone else. Firstly, they wanted to keep a low profile. Secondly, Mei Qian also had his own plans.
Now that the police surveillance had stopped, he drove all the way to Matougou and made sure that no one was watching. He was half relieved. Next, he was ready to deal with the big tripod in the warehouse.
After lunch, he made an excuse to refuse Ning Chi's following and went out for a walk.
He followed the village path and headed towards the pear garden.
The terrain here is quite familiar. I walked for about half an hour based on my memory before I found a small ravine.
There are cliffs on both sides here, and a small stream winds out. It is indeed an extremely private and pure place.
Mei Qian squatted in the corner, made sure there was no one else around, and then started working.
His physical strength was amazing, and he dug a deep hole with a shovel as quickly as possible, and then buried the bronze tripod in it.
Next, the soil will be flattened, and in a few days when spring will come and the flowers will bloom, there will be no trace left.
Mei Qian dusted off the dirt on his hands, feeling that his troubles were finally solved.
After thinking for a while, he started the lottery system.
But this time there was still no skill, but two jade bracelets were given.
Mei Qian looked at the two bracelets, one white and one green, floating on the system interface, and thought to herself, does the system want her to get married as soon as possible? Why are these women's jewelry given to her?
However, this time, Mei Qian did not feel dissatisfied as he finally did not have to deal with the troublesome antiques. At least these pieces of jewelry looked very valuable and could be considered an excellent collection.
He simply left the place and wandered around the pear garden for a while. He took a few pictures of the delicate pear blossoms with his mobile phone and then turned back.
After a whole day of playing, everyone felt very satisfied, especially Mei Qian.
Unfortunately, this good mood did not last long.
On this day, Mei Qian had just finished updating and walked out of the study. Ning Chi came over holding the tablet and said with a smile: "Brother, the new subway line has been confirmed, you are popular again."
"What?" He frowned and took the tablet. But after seeing the content clearly, he was stunned. The tablet in his hand could hardly be held and fell.
I saw that it was a post from a netizen, and he didn't care much about the initial information.
It's just that Xiadu's new subway line has been determined, from Matougou in the suburbs to the city center.
But the information that followed drove him crazy.
It is reported that just after groundbreaking, the construction team excavated a large bronze cauldron. The site is currently blocked, and the project may be stalled due to the existence of ancient tombs...
As for the photo of the bronze tripod above, it looks familiar to me.
The last paragraph was deliberately bolded by the original poster: "The nightmare that the Construction Bureau can never escape - Mei Qian..."
