I recalled the mirror I picked up from the rubbish dump in Nanping's engine room and asked Brother Yu what he thought.
Brother Yu smiled and said: "Yunfeng, you are too sensitive. Don't scare yourself. It's just an ordinary old mirror. It's fine."
"I hope so," I said.
Death may really be a relief for him.
We buried Researcher Ma in the open space behind the stone building overnight. This man's life was so miserable that even God could not stand it. Just when we finished burying him, it started to rain lightly.
Xiaoxuan was holding a piece of plastic sheet on her head and ran over to help me keep out the rain.
"Hurry into Louyun Peak, or you'll get soaked later."
He ran back with Xiaoxuan, put his head at the door and looked up at the sky in a daze.
There was a loud crack of thunder!
The sound was shocking.
He lowered his head and looked at the iron money in his hand, and murmured in a low voice: "Everyone has a mission since birth, so what is our mission?"
"I know!"
Douyazai said loudly: "Head! Our mission is to rob tombs and open coffins! Make a fortune! Buy a house and a car! From now on, we will reach the pinnacle of life!"
He smiled and shook his head, then Brother Yu came out.
"What did you find Wen Bin?"
"I searched everywhere and even looked on the third floor. The only thing that was left by that person was this package."
"Open."
Brother Yu immediately opened the package and found several old-fashioned green aluminum kettles and a yellowed diary inside.
This diary can be regarded as the work record manual of the research team that year. It records in detail what they did and researched after arriving in Muya in 1966.
We also learned about the itinerary of their research team from this only surviving work record.
After they arrived in Muya, they first contacted the "Captain of the Yala Brigade of the Yajiang Unity Commune", who personally took two people to escort them into the mountain for research. In July 1966, they discovered the "Batang Zha Jinding Tomb Group"
," and wrote a tomb archaeological registration form. The level of detail in this record amazes me. We have robbed so many tombs, but we have never made any records.
This record is a table that divides from left to right "the tomb number, direction, burial style, length, width, depth, placement of cultural relics, remarks, etc."
This is the difference between archeology and tomb robbing. In the eyes of people like us, let alone a tomb of the Jin Dynasty, even if we rob the tomb of an emperor, we will not do such a thing. It is too laborious.
This work record has been carefully preserved for 39 years.
I can't do this. For the first time, I have admiration for people of their status. I admire them from the bottom of my heart.
If I were asked to join the archaeological team and given a toothbrush to slowly brush a bowl of soil in three days, it would be a huge mental torture for me.
I finished reading and turned the pages again.
Suddenly, an inch-long black and white old photo fell out from the diary folder.
I leaned over to take a look, and I was shocked to find that the background of the photo was the big millstone we passed before. In the photo, seven or eight people were wearing long clothes and long trousers. One of them, a young man, was sitting on the big millstone, and his face was only taken in profile.
He frowned: "Yunfeng, do you think this man looks like our guide Lao Fu?"
"Only the side face and head, it looks a bit similar but not very similar. The person in the photo is too young, so I can't be sure. It's probably not him." I frowned.
"The rain in the mountains is like this. It rains just as soon as you say it will. What are you two studying?" At this time, Lao Fu came over while talking.
"nothing."
He quickly put away the photo and said with a smile: "Brother Fu, do you think this rain will stop?" "Haha, as the old saying goes, you are not afraid of heavy rain, but you are afraid of light rain and you can't breathe." Lao Fu shook his head: "I
It looks like it’s been quite rough today, so we can only stay here in Shilou to take shelter from the rain.”
After eating dry food in the morning, the Sherpa men were bored, so they sat around on the ground on the first floor and played a gambling game similar to "sieve". Brother Biao also played with them, and a group of old men couldn't understand what they were saying.
in the Sherpa dialect, sometimes laughing and sometimes shouting.
"Since we have nothing to do, why don't we come and play together, brother?" Brother Biao asked me to join.
I briefly understood the rules of the game and sat down to play with them. Fortunately, it was not gambling, otherwise I would have lost miserably. I played three times and lost three times. I played until noon. The light rain in the mountains had not stopped. At this moment,
Suddenly Dou Sprout ran in in a panic and shouted:
"It's not good! Something bad is going to happen!"
"The man's grave was dug up! The body is missing!"
"What! What's going on?"
"Go and have a look!"
I ran to the stone building and took a look. The grave bag that was fine in the morning was now dug into a big hole.
The body of Researcher Ma that we buried is missing!
"Who the hell did this!"
"Who saw it?"
"I don't know! You are all playing on the first floor, and we are all on the second floor. No one came out, and we didn't hear any movement at all! How come this grave has been dug up!" Dou Sprout said immediately.
Xiaoxuan hurriedly raised her hand and said, "That's right! When we came back in the morning, we were all on the second floor and never went out. Yunfeng, I can testify to this."
Who the hell is so wicked, digging a new grave!
wrong
I suddenly found that one person was missing. Where did that wild girl go?
"Brother Biao, where is the leader's sister?" I turned around and asked.
There were some subtle changes in Brother Biao's face, which I keenly caught.
"Oh, are you talking about her? She went to the bathroom outside and will be back soon. Don't worry about it. Come on, let's play again."
I ignored it and walked straight out.
Brother Biao immediately ran after him.
Because it was raining, I found a row of footprints not long after I came out. Following the footprints, I saw some kind of dragging marks on the ground.
"It's raining so heavily, where are you going, brother?"
"Start! Don't fucking stop me! Let me see what you want to do!"
I got angry and pushed him away.
I wiped the rain off my face and ran into the woods.
Following the footprints and dragging marks on the ground, I followed all the way deep into the woods.
I could vaguely see a figure.
"Who is there!"
When I heard the shouting, the figure walked towards me step by step. As the distance got closer, I could see it clearly.
Sister Zemi Wang's hair was completely wet, and two strands of black hair clung to both sides of her temples.
At this moment, her eyes were extremely cold, she was holding a horn in her left hand and a human head in her right hand. The hair of this dead head was so long that it even fell to the ground.
It was Researcher Ma who had just been buried.
The head was chopped off!
She was in her twenties, holding a dead head in her hand. There was no trace of fear in this woman's eyes. She stood in the rain like a demon.
"What are you doing! Why do you want to chop off the head!" I suppressed my fear and asked her loudly.
After hearing my words, Sister Zami Wang let go and her head fell to the ground with a thud.
Then, in front of me, she raised the horn in her hand, pointed it at the head on the ground, and pierced it hard!
This time, I was so strong that I pierced it directly!
