Chapter 873: Yushan Ancient Tomb
With the induction of Yuye, he can be sure that there is indeed a boundary stone here.
The original speculation also had strong corroboration, and Xia Ruofei couldn't help but show a hint of joy.
Song Wei on the side also felt it, she smiled and asked, "Did you find anything?"
"Not yet. Xia Ruofei said, "But I have a hunch that we will definitely gain something from this trip!"
Song Weijiao smiled: "Didn't you say that a woman's sixth sense is the strongest? I didn't feel it, but you had a premonition first?"
Xia Ruofei laughed and said, "What does this mean?
"Looking for a fight!" Song Wei glanced at Xia Ruofei with disgust.
The two talked and laughed and walked to Yuwang Temple, no different from ordinary tourists.
However, they did not enter the temple, but wandered around, as if they were very interested in the scenery of the neighborhood.
Yuwang Temple is just a small local attraction, and there are not many people who usually come, so the two of them went around to the side of the temple unconsciously.
There is an overgrown path that winds its way into the mountain.
"This is the road!" Song Wei said, "We used to visit Yuwang Temple from the base camp at the entrance of the tomb. ”
"Let's go!" Xia Ruofei saw that there was no one left and right, and immediately said.
The two stepped into the trail and walked through the weeds.
Xia Ruofei pulled out his trekking poles and opened the way in front of him - this road seems to have been deserted for a long time, the weeds on both sides are very high, almost covering the road surface, and there are thorns blocking the road from time to time.
Fortunately, Xia Ruofei had great strength, he waved his trekking poles and forcibly opened a path, and the speed of the two of them was not slow.
Song Wei was traveling lightly, and Xia Ruofei was very physically strong, so the two of them walked like flying on this path, and soon turned a mountain pass, and the Yuwang Temple behind them also disappeared from sight.
In the process of traveling, Xia Ruofei also kept an eye on the situation of sensing the jade leaves.
That jade leaf is indeed getting hotter and hotter, just now when he was in Yuwang Temple, it was just a little warm, if it wasn't for Xia Ruofei's sensitivity, he might not have been able to find it, but now the temperature has increased significantly.
This means that he is getting closer and closer to the boundary stone.
The two walked for more than half an hour, and they had already come to the other side of Yushan.
Xia Ruofei had already memorized the two drawings drawn by Song Wei, so after walking to a place, he naturally corresponded to the topographic map.
At this time, Song Wei also said: "Not far ahead is our former archaeological base camp......
"Well, the direction of nine o'clock should be Dongting Lake, your base camp at that time was at two o'clock, and the entrance to the tomb was exactly at twelve o'clock. Xia Ruofei said.
Song Wei was stunned for a moment and asked, "How do you know?"
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "If the picture you draw is accurate enough, then what I said should not be wrong." There are a lot of references here, and calibrating the location according to the map and reference objects is the basic skill of the scout!"
"Okay......" Song Wei said a little embarrassed, "Actually, I don't remember much myself......
After all, she had only been in Yushan for a few days at the time, and she had never been to Yushan before, so she was able to draw that topographic map, and her memory was already very good.
The two continued to move forward, knowing that there might be guards here, so Xia Ruofei always remained vigilant and closely monitored the surrounding situation.
It's overgrown with grass, and it's hard to explain if the two of them are found now.
After all, there is no scenery in this place, even tourists from other places will not set foot in it.
It was still Xia Ruofei who opened the way in front, and Song Wei followed him closely.
Suddenly, Xia Ruofei's eyes froze, and he subconsciously raised his right hand to make a sign language that stopped moving forward and concealed it on the spot, and squatted down at the same time.
However, he forgot that Song Wei had not received military sign language training, and his vigilance was naturally not as strong as his.
So Song Wei didn't know what Xia Ruofei's action meant, plus it was so sudden, she didn't have time to react, and she followed very closely, which caused her to directly bump into Xia Ruofei.
Moreover, Xia Ruofei had already squatted down at this time, only his right hand was raised, so the peaks and peaks on Song Wei's chest slammed into Xia Ruofei's hand, and there was an obvious deformation immediately.
Song Wei was also stunned all of a sudden, and her pretty face instantly turned red.
Xia Ruofei was originally observing the front with burning eyes, but he didn't expect a soft, ecstatic touch from his arms and palms, and he couldn't help but be stunned.
As soon as Xia Ruofei turned his head, he saw Song Wei blushing, and he was already about to scream subconsciously.
Where can Xia Ruofei still care about the wonderful taste of aftertaste? He quickly reached out to go around Song Wei's neck, covering her mouth, and at the same time squatting down with her.
"Don't make a sound, someone ......," Xia Ruofei whispered in Song Wei's ear.
Song Wei even had red ears, and when she was held in her arms by Xia Ruofei in such a posture, she was greeted with a strong male breath, and she was almost soft all over.
Song Wei looked at Xia Ruofei with watery eyes and nodded lightly.
Xia Ruofei let go of his hand, Song Wei squatted beside Xia Ruofei, looked in the direction of Xia Ruofei's gaze, and vaguely saw two people patrolling back and forth about a hundred meters away, that location was their archaeological base camp before, and not far ahead was the entrance to the tomb that was opened at that time.
Song Wei didn't expect that Xia Ruofei would be able to find someone at the first time from such a distance.
At this time, Xia Ruofei said softly: "Just now...... I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, it was all an accident......
"Don't say it!" Song Wei said in a low voice with a red face.
Xia Ruofei smiled and obediently closed his mouth.
Song Wei was also shy at this time, looking straight ahead, but she didn't dare to look at Xia Ruofei.
Xia Ruofei didn't have a charming mind, he quickly took out a small notebook from his body and marked it with a pen.
Song Wei was a little curious, and turned her head to look at it shyly, only to see Xia Ruofei scribbling some strange symbols on the notebook, which didn't seem to have any rules.
"What are you drawing?" Song Wei couldn't help but ask.
Xia Ruofei said while observing the record: "The common password marking method in our army, only we can understand the content of the record, so that even if we are captured or the book is lost during the mission, it will not be leaked." ”
Song Wei nodded, and asked again, "Then what are you recording now?"
"The terrain here, the number of guards, the distribution, and the route of the patrol......" Xia Ruofei said, "You stay here and don't move, I'll go over there and take a look......"
"Huh?" Song Wei said, "Why are you going!"
"The investigation is not comprehensive enough, I have to change positions to observe!" Xia Ruofei said, "Don't worry, it's safe here, I'll be back soon! You just don't move, don't make a sound!"
Song Wei's mouth opened, but she still didn't say anything after all, just watched Xia Ruofei scurry into the grass like a raccoon cat, and soon disappeared.
In this uninhabited mountain, and there is likely to be a huge mausoleum under the land under her feet, Song Wei is naturally a little hairy.
And it's very quiet here, with the occasional crow or two, and a chill seeping into my heart.
It was obviously sunny, but Song Wei couldn't help but tighten her collar and squatted in the grass and didn't dare to move.
Fortunately, Xia Ruofei didn't leave for too long, and came back after about ten minutes.
"Let's go back!" Xia Ruofei said.
"Are you all clear?" Song Wei asked.
"Hmm!" Xia Ruofei nodded, "Sleep well in the hotel during the day today, let's come over tonight!"
"Good. Song Wei said softly.
Xia Ruofei looked at Song Wei's somewhat pale face, and couldn't help but say, "Why don't you ...... You rest in the hotel in the evening and I am alone ......"
"Don't even think about it!" Song Wei flatly refused.
"Okay......" Xia Ruofei smiled helplessly.
The two of them cautiously stepped back until twenty or thirty meters away, and they could confirm that the patrolling people were no longer visible, and then they straightened up and returned the way they came.
The two returned to Yuwang Temple smoothly, and no one noticed that they had secretly flipped from the path to the other side of Yushan.
After going down the mountain to pick up the car, Xia Ruofei and Song Wei drove back to the hotel.
The two didn't have any discussion along the way, and after returning to the room, Song Wei couldn't help but ask, "How is the situation?"
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "The situation is better than I imagined. ”
After speaking, Xia Ruofei took out the topographic map drawn by Song Wei and corrected a few places where she had made mistakes, and then began to mark it with a pen, while explaining to Song Wei.
"First of all, judging from the way they walk and the arrangement of the patrol route, they should not be professional soldiers, and it is certain that the armed police force that guarded the tomb should have been withdrawn, and these people may be security guards hired by the local government. Xia Ruofei said, "There are a total of six guards, and it is not excluded that there are more people in the prefabricated house, they are in teams of two, and the main patrol area is in this ......."
Xia Ruofei drew a circle on the topographic map with his hand and said: "The focus should be on the entrance to the tomb that has been backfilled, as well as the surrounding area of about ten meters. ”
"In other words, if we want to enter the tomb, we must find another entrance and avoid this area?" Song Wei asked.
"That's for sure!" Xia Ruofei said, "It's still unclear how often they patrol at night, but the original intersection was too close to the prefabricated house where they lived, and we couldn't have dug the entrance without them noticing." ”
"Then do you have any plans?" asked Song Wei.
Xia Ruofei said: "I believe your judgment, the scope of this tomb is very large, let's first confirm the night patrol rules of the guards at night, and then try to find a location where you can enter the tomb as far away from their activity area as possible, and dig into it directly!"
Song Wei hesitated for a moment and said, "This is a lot ......of work, isn't it?"
"It's me!" Xia Ruofei said, "With me as a big man, how can you do such rough work as digging holes?"
Song Wei pursed her lips and smiled: "I didn't expect you to be quite machismo! I am a major in archaeology, and in field archaeological activities, women have always been used as men......
"Men are used as livestock?" Xia Ruofei added.
"That's right!" Song Wei chuckled, "And I'm a professional at digging graves, have you ever heard of the Luoyang shovel?"
"Of course, I've heard of it for a long time!" Xia Ruofei said, "But this thing is not easy to buy, I didn't prepare ...... this time."
Song Wei smiled and took out a long bag from her mountaineering bag and said, "Open it and take a look!"
After Xia Ruofei opened it, he immediately laughed: "I didn't think you had prepared this thing in advance?"
This is a delicate Luoyang shovel, the shovel head is a traditional semi-cylindrical shape, and the production is very exquisite, the shovel handle is also made of a section of metal, there are threads on it, it can be disassembled for easy carrying, and it can be connected when used.
"This is not only a tool for tomb robbery, but also an archaeological weapon now!" Song Wei said with a smile, "It is very convenient to use it to identify the soil quality, this is a necessary skill for archaeological professionals!"
"Gotcha!" Xia Ruofei said, "With it, we can save a lot of time!"
Experienced tomb robbers can accurately probe the tombs buried deep underground with a Luoyang shovel, and archaeologists often use Luoyang shovels to identify the soil quality, and the efficiency of using it to explore tombs is naturally much more convenient than a flat-mouthed shovel.
Of course, Xia Ruofei is not looking aimlessly, he also has the assistance of sensing jade leaves, at least he will not stay away from the scope of the tomb without knowing it.
Throughout the day, Xia Ruofei and Song Wei stayed in the hotel, except for going downstairs during meal time, the rest of the time was in the room, and the two went to sleep for a few hours after eating at noon to ensure that they could have plenty of energy at night.
After dinner, it was getting dark.
Xia Ruofei and Song Wei packed their things, put on their heavy mountaineering bags, and checked out of the hotel directly.
The two drove to the foot of Yu Mountain.
This time, Xia Ruofei did not park the car in the parking lot at the bottom of the mountain, but hid it in a small forest, and then the two of them got out of the car directly and walked up the mountain through a road stepped on by local villagers.
Xia Ruofei had already surveyed when he was climbing during the day, and there were several monitors on the normal mountaineering road, so he chose another road, of course, the general direction is basically the same, and this road does not need to bypass Yuwang Temple, and it can directly lead to the path on the side of the temple.
Yushan at night is very quiet, only bursts of insect chirping.
The two of them walked quickly on the road by moonlight, and Xia Ruofei reached out from time to time to pull Song Wei - this road was much more difficult than the road of mountaineering during the day.
After about forty minutes of trekking, the two of them came again to the same position where they had stopped to observe during the day.
Xia Ruofei gently pushed aside the grass and looked over, and found that the guards at night really did not loosen much.
A small searchlight is also installed on the roof of the prefabricated house where the security guards live, which turns the direction from time to time, illuminating the surrounding area for tens of meters as bright as day.
There were still three groups of security guards patrolling along the fixed route.
Xia Ruo quickly noted down the situation here, then raised his head to identify the direction, and whispered to Song Wei: "Go this way!"
He took Song Wei and got into the grass next to him.
There was no road here at all, and the two of them walked more than 200 meters with one foot high and one foot low.
The light from the searchlight could no longer be found here, but it felt like the sky was particularly bright in that direction.
Xia Ruofei carefully felt the heat of the jade leaf while leading Song Wei to continue to adjust the direction and move forward.
Finally, after coming to a depression, Xia Ruofei stopped.
