Chapter 869

Zhuang Yan smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "Brother Xia, then you really asked the wrong person. I usually live in a house, and I haven't even been to many places in Tanzhou City."

"No way! Aren't you a native of Tanzhou?" Xia Ruofei asked with a smile.

"I don't usually like to go out, I just like to read books and surf the Internet at home." Zhuang Yan scratched his head and said.

Xia Ruofei asked calmly, "Don't you work in the Cultural Relics Bureau? Usually you are not allowed to go out for archaeology or something?"

Xia Ruofei knew that the ancient tomb should not be in Tanzhou, because if it was in Tanzhou, then the Tanzhou Cultural Relics Bureau would have participated in the investigation at that time. In this way, Song Wei would not meet Xu Yuanyuan now.

But he just wanted to get some news from Zhuang Yan. Anyway, the two women didn't know how long they would talk! Idle is idle.

Zhuang Yan smiled honestly and said: "Occasionally there are field archaeological activities, mainly because sometimes local construction is carried out, and some ancient tombs will be excavated, so we need to carry out rescue excavations, except in this case. In addition, some tombs have been opened by tomb robbers, so we also need to investigate and excavate, otherwise for the purpose of protection, we will not take the initiative to excavate ancient tombs."

Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "Understood, I heard that Qin Huang's mausoleum in Shaanxi Province was backfilled later!"

"Yeah! The best way to preserve cultural relics is to have them sealed in tombs." Zhuang Yan said that professional things are not so precious. "As long as they are excavated and exposed to oxygen, even if protective measures are taken. No matter how good it is, it will be damaged. What you just said about the Qinhuang Mausoleum, in fact, all the terracotta warriors and horses in the Emperor Mausoleum are colored, but when exposed to oxygen, the paint on the surface will be oxidized within a few minutes, and the color will change. become what it is now..."

Xia Ruofei smiled and nodded and said, "You are very professional in this line."

"There is a specialization in the surgery industry, but that's actually the case." Zhuang Yan said humbly, "Actually, it's quite boring to work in our business. You haven't seen Yuanyuan working for more than half a year, so you're thinking about the postgraduate entrance examination? In the unit Most of the time is wasted!"

"No! It's interesting to hear you say this." Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "Zhuang Yan, tell me about some interesting things you encountered in your work!"

Seeing that Xia Ruofei was in high spirits, Zhuang Yan could only rack his brains to think about what "interesting things" were in their work, but their usual work was indeed quite boring, and there was nothing to talk about.

After thinking about it,

Zhuang Yan said with a smile: "Brother Xia, last year there was a really exciting thing in our Hunan cultural relics system, but it wasn't in our Tanzhou City, and I didn't participate in this matter. It's all hearsay."

Xia Ruofei's eyes lit up and asked calmly, "Oh? Let me hear it!"

Zhuang Yan said: "At that time, an ancient tomb was discovered in Yuezhou. Experts deduced that it should be from the Ming Dynasty. A joint inspection team was formed with the History Museum, the Department of Archaeology of Jingcheng University and other units to prepare for a rescue excavation of the tomb..."

Speaking of which, Zhuang Yan paused for a moment, took a puff of cigarette and continued: "Just in the process of excavating the ancient tomb, something happened..."

Xia Ruofei was secretly happy, Song Wei had always refused to tell him the specific address of the tomb, and now he was inadvertently inquired about it, and now the scope has been narrowed to Yuezhou City.

"Could it be that the mummified corpse in the ancient tomb was resurrected?" Xia Ruofei joked.

"That's not true," said Zhuang Yan, "but it was also a very serious accident. I heard that several archaeologists who entered the tomb had symptoms such as dizziness and nausea. They quickly ended the operation, but it was too late. I don't know which one. There is something dirty in the tomb, anyway, I heard that several archaeologists have died of serious illness one after another..."

Xia Ruofei couldn't help laughing secretly, Zhuang Yan really heard from hearsay, and many news are not accurate. For example, one of the archaeological team members Song Wei is still alive, and he has just met them.

"Then... what about that ancient tomb? How is it now?" Xia Ruofei asked.

"I heard that experts suspect that there are unknown toxins in the ancient tombs, and no effective treatment has been found yet." Zhuang Yan said, "In order to prevent the spread of this toxin and cause a large-scale epidemic, the Yuezhou government immediately sent the ancient tombs to the The tomb was backfilled, and a special person was sent to guard it.”

Xia Ruofei couldn't help frowning secretly, it seems that it will take some trouble to enter that ancient tomb! Especially with Song Wei.

After Xia Ruofei heard the news, he didn't continue to talk about this topic. He didn't want to arouse Zhuang Yan's suspicion, and he didn't want someone to link them to the ancient tomb when they came to southern Hunan.

Zhuang Yan naturally had no doubts about him, for him it was just a talk after dinner.

It was after ten o'clock in the evening that Xu Yuanyuan came to Xia Ruofei's room accompanied by Song Wei. She asked Zhuang Yan to go home together.

Xu Yuanyuan blinked at Xia Ruofei and said, "We won't stay as a light bulb, but... Is this room going to be vacant tonight?"

Song Wei's pretty face flushed, and she said, "You bastard girl! Why don't you go quickly?"

Xu Yuanyuan giggled and said, "I see! It seems that Weiwei can't wait! Zhuang Yan, let's go! Don't get in the way..."

After finishing speaking, Xu Yuanyuan really took Zhuang Yan and walked away quickly, and firmly did not want Xia Ruofei and Song Wei to go downstairs to see each other off.

After the two left, the atmosphere in Xia Ruofei's room became a little ambiguous, especially after Xu Yuanyuan said that joke.

Song Wei blushed and said in a loud voice, "I... I'll go back to my room first!"

"Oh..." Xia Ruofei also felt a little embarrassed, "rest early..."

"Yeah!" Song Wei said.

Although she also knew that Xia Ruofei must not be so absurd to let her stay here, she still felt a touch of loss in her heart.

When they got to the door, Song Wei turned around and said, "By the way, Yuanyuan said that she will take us around Tanzhou tomorrow, let's postpone it for a day!"

"Okay!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile.

Xia Ruofei also knew that Song Wei and Xu Yuanyuan hadn't seen each other for so long, and they claimed that they came to southern Hunan for tourism, so Xu Yuanyuan proposed to take them to visit Tanzhou, which is naturally not easy to refuse, otherwise it would be very unreasonable.

He then added: "Anyway, Yuezhou is very convenient here, and the journey is not far!"

"Yeah!" Song Wei said subconsciously, then suddenly raised her head to look at Xia Ruofei, "You... how did you know?"

Xia Ruofei laughed and said: "I can figure it out, don't think that I won't know anything if you don't tell me!"

Song Wei was not in a hurry to leave. She looked at Xia Ruofei and asked with a half-smile, "Since you know the place, you shouldn't leave me and run over there alone, right?"

"How could it be!" Xia Ruofei said, "I'm a firm believer!"

"Why don't I believe it so much?" Song Wei said, "If you leave me and secretly go to Yuezhou tonight, who am I going to talk to?"

"Can there be some trust between people?" Xia Ruofei said with a wry smile.

"No!" Song Wei said with a smile.

"Then what should I do?" Xia Ruofei spread his hands and said, "The legs are long on me, and you can't stop me if I really want to go!"

Song Wei smiled and said, "Why don't I just leave tonight, I'll just watch you here and see how you run!"

Xia Ruofei was taken aback and said quickly: "Don't be joking! I'll tell you the truth! In fact, I just said Zhuang Yan's words, isn't he also in the cultural relic system? That thing is not in the cultural relic system in southern Hunan. What secret..."

"You are so insidious!" Song Wei said angrily, "Even an honest person like Zhuang Yan lied..."

"I didn't lie to him! It's really just chatting!" Xia Ruofei said, "And I was measured, I didn't break the casserole to ask the question to the end, I just knew that the ancient tomb was in Yuezhou, and I didn't know anything about the other news! So you can rest assured to go back to your room, without you as a guide, I can't do anything at all!"

"Really?" Song Wei asked.

"I'm right..." Xia Ruofei raised his hand and found that it was indoors, so he temporarily changed his mind and said, "I swear to the lamp!"

"Okay! Then I'll trust you for a while!" Song Wei said, "Don't lie to me! Otherwise, I will never forgive you for the rest of my life!"

Xia Ruofei smiled bitterly, why does this feel a bit ambiguous!

Song Wei didn't notice anything wrong. After she warned Xia Ruofei, she returned to her room with a smile.

...

The next day, Xu Yuanyuan came to the hotel very early, and then took Xia Ruofei and Song Wei for a tour around Tanzhou.

Zhuang Yan didn't come because he had to go to work, but only showed up at dinner in the evening.

As for Xu Yuanyuan, she doesn't need to go to work anymore - the director himself said last night that she can stay at home and do her best to prepare for the exam.

The dinner at night was hosted by Xu Yuanyuan. First, her classmates came from afar, and she had to do her best as a landlord. Second, she was helped by Xia Ruofei in the postgraduate entrance examination, so she also expressed her gratitude.

After dinner, Xu Yuanyuan drove Xia Ruofei and Song Wei back to the hotel in a polo she just bought when she got married.

Originally, Xu Yuanyuan wanted to take them to some surrounding attractions the next day, but Song Wei didn't want to waste time in Tanzhou, so she politely declined.

Xu Yuanyuan knew that Song Wei and Xia Ruo had to fly back to Tanzhou when they returned, so when they said goodbye at the door of the hotel, she also told Song Wei to remember to find her, and everyone would get together again. .

After another night of rest in the hotel, the next day, Xia Ruofei and Song Wei finally embarked on the journey to Yuezhou.

The two rented an off-road vehicle directly to go to Yuezhou, and for the sake of safety, Xia Ruofei also specially used a fake ID card - the cars of the rental car company have global positioning, and the driving trajectories of the cars are all recorded. , Xia Ruofei must avoid leaving clues and let people link the tomb to him.

Although this possibility is very low, Xia Ruofei does not allow the slightest flaw.

Of course, Song Wei didn't know about it, Xia Ruofei rented a car alone and drove back to the hotel to pick her up.

Yuezhou is located on the shore of Dongting. It was built in 505 BC. It is an ancient city with a history of more than 2,600 years. It is only more than 100 kilometers away from Tanzhou.

After more than two hours of driving, the two had already arrived in Yuezhou.

After the car drove out of the high-speed toll station, Xia Ruofei asked with a smile: "Song Wei, should you tell me the specific location now?"

Song Wei giggled and said, "I was thinking along the way, when will you be able to resist asking, it seems that your patience is still quite good!"

Xia Ruofei was speechless for a while and looked at Song Wei innocently.

Song Wei chuckled and said, "Okay! I'll set up the navigation for you, go ahead first!"

"Order!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile.

Soon Song Wei set the destination on the car navigation. Xia Ruofei glanced at it. It turned out that the ancient tomb was located in Hualin County, west of Yuezhou City, and there were still dozens of kilometers away.

Xia Ruofei looked at the time, it was too late to have lunch in Hualin County, so he said, "Song Wei, let's just leave after lunch in Yuezhou!"

"No problem! Listen to your arrangement! I'm only responsible for leading the way!" Song Wei said.

"Yes!" Xia Ruofei said.

Song Wei had already set up the navigation, and he didn't adjust it any more. He followed the signs along the way to downtown Yuezhou, and found a restaurant that looked relatively clean. The two of them had a simple lunch, and then went to The car continues to leave.

They were already very close to the destination, and Song Wei naturally would not hide it any longer. She introduced Xia Ruofei about the ancient tomb of the Ming Dynasty on the way.

This tomb is located on Yushan Mountain in the south of Hualin County. It is said that Dayu once climbed this mountain when he controlled the flood. The Yuwang Temple was also built on the mountain, which is also a local scenic spot.

The ancient tomb is on the other side of the mountain, facing the Dongting Lake in the distance.

In addition, Song Wei also introduced some of the information she knew when she participated in the archaeological work. After all, she went down to the tomb and experienced many things.

After listening to Xia Ruofei, he frowned slightly and said: "Song Wei, according to what I heard from Zhuang Yan the day before yesterday, the problem now is... that the ancient tomb has been backfilled by the local government, and in order to prevent it from being opened again, it will cause toxins. Leaked, there should be people guarding it all the year round..."

"When we pulled out, there were armed police guards." Song Wei nodded and said, "But more than half a year has passed, and the guards should not be so strict, but there must be guards."

"Then we have to think of a way to enter the tomb..." Xia Ruofei pondered for a moment and asked, "Song Wei, can you draw a sketch based on your memory, and let's study it together!"
