Zhuang Yan smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "Brother Xia, then you really asked the wrong person, I usually am very homely, and I have never even been to many places in Tanzhou City." ”

"Aren't you a native of Tanzhou?" Xia Ruofei asked with a smile.

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

Xia Ruofei asked quietly: "Aren't you working in the Cultural Relics Bureau?

Xia Ruofei knew that the ancient tomb should not be within the scope of Tanzhou, because if it was in Tanzhou, then the Tanzhou Cultural Relics Bureau would definitely participate in the investigation at that time, so that Song Wei would not have met 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!

Zhuang Yan smiled honestly and said: "Occasionally, there will be field archaeological activities, mainly sometimes local construction, will dig out some ancient tombs, so we need to carry out rescue excavations, in addition to this situation, there are also some tombs that have been opened by people who have robbed the tombs, then 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, "I understand, I heard that the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum in Shaanxi Province was backfilled later!"

"Yes, the best way to preserve artifacts is to keep them sealed in tombs. Zhuang Yan said that professional things will not be so precious words, "But if you excavate it and come into contact with oxygen, no matter how good the protection measures are, it will be damaged." The Mausoleum of the Qin Emperor you just mentioned, in fact, all the terracotta warriors and horses in the Imperial Mausoleum are colorful, but as soon as they come into contact with oxygen, the layer of pigment on the surface is oxidized within a few minutes, and it becomes what it is now......"

Xia Ruofei smiled and nodded, "Your line of work is quite professional. ”

"There is a specialization in the art industry, in fact, that's what it is. Zhuang Yan said humbly, "Actually, it's quite boring to do our job, don't you see that Yuanyuan has only been working for more than half a year, and she is thinking about going to graduate school?

"No, I'm amused to hear that. Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "Zhuang Yan, tell me about some interesting things you encountered in your work!"

Zhuang Yan saw that Xia Ruofei was full of interest, and he could only rack his brains to think about what "interesting things" they had in their work, but their usual work was indeed quite boring, and there was nothing to talk about at all.

After thinking about it, Zhuang Yan said with a smile: "Brother Xia, last year, we really had a very exciting thing in the cultural relics system in southern Hunan, but it was not in our Tanzhou City, and I didn't participate in this matter, it was all hearsay." ”

Xia Ruofei's eyes lit up, and he asked quietly: "Oh? I'll listen to it!"

Zhuang Yan said: "At that time, an ancient tomb was found in Yuezhou, experts deduced that it should be from the Ming Dynasty, and the tomb was opened by the robbers, and it was reported by the villagers after being discovered, and it was later found that the tomb was very large, and the national cultural relics department and the History Museum, the Department of Archaeology of Beijing University and other units formed a joint investigation team to prepare for rescue excavation of the tomb......

Speaking of this, Zhuang Yan paused slightly, took a puff of cigarette and continued: "In the process of excavating the ancient tomb, something happened......

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

"Could it be that the dried corpses in the ancient tomb have been resurrected?" Xia Ruofei joked.

"Not really. Zhuang Yan said, "But it was also a very serious accident, I heard that several archaeological team members who entered the tomb at that time had symptoms such as dizziness and nausea, and they quickly ended the operation, but it was too late." I don't know what's dirty in that tomb, but anyway, I heard that several members of the archaeological team have been seriously ill and died......"

Xia Ruofei couldn't help but laugh secretly, Zhuang Yan was really hearsay, and a lot of news was not accurate, for example, one of the archaeological team members, Song Wei, was still alive, and he had just met with them.

"That'...... What about that ancient tomb, how is it now?" Xia Ruofei asked.

"I've heard that experts suspect that there is an unknown toxin inside the tomb, 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 backfilled the ancient tomb as soon as possible, and also sent special personnel to guard it." ”

Xia Ruofei couldn't help but frown secretly, it seemed that it would take some trouble to enter that ancient tomb!

After Xia Ruofei heard the news, he didn't continue to talk about this topic, he didn't want to arouse Zhuang Yan's suspicions, and he didn't want someone to associate them with that ancient tomb in Xiangnan in the future.

Zhuang Yan naturally did not doubt him, this was just an after-dinner conversation for him.

At more than ten o'clock in the evening, Xu Yuanyuan came to Xia Ruofei's room accompanied by Song Wei, and she asked Zhuang Yan to go home together.

Xu Yuanyuan winked at Xia Ruofei and said, "We won't stay as light bulbs, but ...... This room is going to be vacant tonight, right?"

Song Weiqiao's face turned red and said, "You unabashed dead girl!

Xu Yuanyuan giggled: "Got it! It seems that Weiwei can't wait! Zhuang Yan, let's go quickly! Don't get in the way here......"

After speaking, Xu Yuanyuan really pulled Zhuang Yan and left quickly, and resolutely did not want Xia Ruofei and Song Wei to go downstairs to see each other.

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 mosquito-like voice: "I...... I'll go back to my room first!"

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

"Hmm!" Song Wei said.

Although she also knew that Xia Ruofei would definitely not be so ridiculous as to let her stay here, she still inevitably felt a faint sense of loss in her heart.

When she walked to the door, Song Wei turned around and said, "By the way, Yuanyuan said that she would 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 offered to take them to visit Tanzhou, which was naturally not easy to refuse, otherwise it would be very unreasonable.

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

"Yes!" Song Wei said subconsciously, and then raised her head sharply to look at Xia Ruofei, "You...... How do you know?"

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

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

"How could it be!" Xia Ruofei said, "I'm a man of my word!"

"Why don't I believe it so much?" Song Wei said, "If you leave me and sneak to Yuezhou tonight, then who will I talk to?"

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

"No!" Song Wei said with a smile.

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

Song Wei smiled and said, "Otherwise, I won't leave tonight, just guard you here and see how you run!"

Xia Ruofei was startled, and hurriedly said: "Don't be joking! I'll tell you the truth! Actually, I just took Zhuang Yan's words just now, isn't he also in the cultural relics system? That matter is not a secret in the cultural relics system of Xiangnan Province......

"You're so insidious!" Song Wei said coquettishly, "Even an honest person like Zhuang Yan ...... lied"

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

"Really?" asked Song Wei.

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

"Okay, then I'll trust you for the time being!" Song Wei said, "Don't lie to me! Otherwise, I won't forgive you for the rest of my life!"

Xia Ruofei smiled bitterly, how can this feel a little ambiguous!

Song Wei didn't notice anything wrong, and 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 to tour Tanzhou.

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

As for Xu Yuanyuan, she doesn't need to go to work anymore - the director said in person last night that she can stay at home and prepare for the exam with all her might.

At night, Xu Yuanyuan was the east, firstly, the classmates came from afar to do their best to be the landlord, and secondly, she was admitted to graduate school thanks to Xia Ruofei's help, so there is also a sense of gratitude in it.

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

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 anymore, so she politely declined.

Xu Yuanyuan knew that Song Wei and Xia Ruofei would still have to come to Tanzhou to take a plane when they flew back, so when she said goodbye at the door of the hotel, she also told Song Wei to remember to find her when the time comes, and everyone will get together again.

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

The two directly rented an off-road vehicle to Yuezhou, and for the sake of safety, Xia Ruofei also specially used a fake ID card - the cars of the car rental company are all globally positioned, and the driving trajectory of the car is all recorded, Xia Ruofei must avoid leaving clues and let people link the matter of the ancient tomb with him.

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

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

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

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

After the car drove out of the high-speed toll booth, Xia Ruofei asked with a smile: "Song Wei, it's time to tell me the specific location, right?"

Song Wei chuckled and said, "I was thinking all the way, when would you be tempted to ask, now it seems that your patience is quite good!"

Xia Ruofei was speechless for a while, looking at Song Wei with an innocent expression.

Song Wei chuckled and said, "Okay, I'll set up navigation for you, let's 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, and it was a little too late to rush to Hualin County for lunch, so he said, "Song Wei, let's just finish lunch in Yuezhou and then set off!"

"No problem! I'm only responsible for leading the way!"

"Gotcha!" Xia Ruofei said.

Song Wei had already set up the navigation, he didn't adjust it again, and drove directly to the downtown area of Yuezhou according to the signs along the way, found a restaurant that looked relatively clean, and the two had a simple lunch, and then got in the car and continued to set off.

They are already very close to their destination, and Song Wei naturally won't hide anymore, so she introduced the situation of the Ming Dynasty tomb to Xia Ruofei on the way.

This tomb is located in the south of Hualin County on the Yu Mountain, the legend has that Yu once climbed this mountain when he ruled the water, the mountain also built the Yuwang Temple, is also a local scenic spot.

And that ancient tomb is on the other side of the mountain, facing Dongting Lake in the distance, surrounded by mountains and rivers, from the perspective of feng shui, it should be a treasure of feng shui.

In addition, Song Wei also introduced some of the things she knew when she participated in archaeological work at that time, after all, she had been to the tomb and many things were personal experiences.

After Xia Ruofei listened, he frowned slightly and said, "Song Wei, according to the news I heard from Zhuang Yan the day before yesterday, the problem now is ...... The tomb has been backfilled by the local government, and it should be guarded all year round to prevent it from being opened again and causing the toxin to leak......"

"When we withdrew, we were guarded by armed police. Song Wei nodded and said, "But more than half a year has passed, and the guards shouldn't 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 we will study it together!"
