Chapter 17 Chapter 17 Horror Reasoning

A group of people finally narrowly escaped death, facing the long-lost sunshine, it really feels like a world away.But I was not so comfortable, this relaxation, the exhaustion that had been accumulated for a long time broke out suddenly, my whole body was so sore that I almost lost my feeling, and I collapsed limply on the grass.At this moment, I suddenly heard a howling of wolves, although ethereal, but very real, as if right next to my ears. "Did you hear that? It looks like a pack of wolves howling." "It's not dark yet, how can there be a pack of wolves howling?" Uncle Wang retorted, and turned to ask Uncle Houdao for a cigarette. It seemed that he was quite addicted to cigarettes.

"It's because you're too tired, and you took the sound of the running water below as howling wolves." Uncle Hou unbuttoned his cigarette bag and said, "There used to be a lot of wolves here, which caused a lot of harm to the herdsmen. After liberation, the government organized militias." Encirclement and suppression have been fought over the past twenty years or so, and now the species is almost extinct, let alone a group, even one is hard to see." "We have to rush back to Hanlaer Banner as soon as possible. Wei Jianguo's situation is still serious. If he doesn't deal with it, his life will be in danger." Uncle Wang changed the subject while puffing on a cigarette.

"Then, what should we do here?" "Push the stone man over, just to seal the entrance of the cave." Uncle Hou Dao replied to me. "Well! Let's do it like this." Uncle Wang nodded resolutely. We rushed back to Hanlaer Banner overnight, but the local health center was almost useless, and there was nothing but ordinary infusion equipment and toilet medicine, so we had to rush to Wulanchabumeng.Uncle Hou Dao’s foot injury was not considered serious, so he didn’t go with him. When he was parting, he knocked on the window of the car and slipped me a package of things. As soon as the car started, I couldn’t wait to open it. Looking at it, the two couldn't help but look at each other, and I couldn't laugh or cry—it turned out to be six shriveled beet buns.

After living in Wulanchabu League for three days, Wei Jianguo was gradually out of danger. At this time, Uncle Wang decided to return to Beijing. On the one hand, the medical conditions in the capital are better, and on the other hand, the tomb of Yeluzhangnu must be declared for excavation as soon as possible. .And I was thinking about the father and daughter of Qiao's family, and I was a little bit eager to return, so on the fourth day, the three of us took the train back to Beijing. This road was more depressing than when we came here, and he felt like he was returning home. Wei Jianguo, who was already dull, was more like a "living corpse" at this time, leaning against the car window listlessly, with a bloodless face. It was dazed, and he didn't move for a long time.I twisted my fingers in boredom, and suddenly asked Uncle Wang, "Uncle Hou Dao's leg should be healed! Will he sneak away to dig?"

Uncle Wang seemed to have been hit by a hammer, and he raised his head suddenly, without making a sound, just staring at me with very strange eyes. When we arrived at Beijing Railway Station, there was already a special car waiting outside. They quickly took Wei Jianguo to the hospital. I bid farewell to Uncle Wang. He didn't say anything, but just looked at me quietly. There are some flickers, which make me feel uncomfortable.Afterwards, he silently followed the unit personnel and left. I was a little annoyed at once, but I thought that I would be able to go home immediately, back to the familiar Liulichang, and then thought of Qiao's father and daughter, if I told them this thrilling experience, it would be a big hit!For a moment, I forgot the unhappiness in front of me, and even got a little excited.

The heat of July in Beijing is just beginning to emerge, and it’s the afternoon at this time, the whole Liulichang is deserted, only a few snack sellers along the street are shuttling and yelling.I didn't care about going home, so I walked straight to Old Joe's "Zhengtianzhai", but the door was closed - the dilapidated store had two copper locks, and from the garbage piled up at the door, it could be seen that Joe The old man has not opened for several days, is he still out of town and not back?There should be no accident!I had a faint sense of foreboding, so I ran to Nanliu Lane.

Ms. Qiao opened the courtyard door, and seeing me, her joyful face sank suddenly, but she soon smiled again, and said softly, "It's you! You're back so soon?" "Just got off the train. What happened in the shop? Boss Joe hasn't come back yet?" I asked straight to the point.Although the change in Ms. Qiao's expression was only instantaneous, she couldn't hide her disappointment, which made me feel even more uneasy. "The store is fine, but my father may be in trouble, and there is no news so far." Miss Qiao was still calm, but her tone was obviously unnatural, even with a little trill.

"His old man is a dragon among men, and he will be fine. Maybe this time it will be more difficult!" "In the past, every time he went out, he would discuss with me in advance, clearly explaining the location, goal, and time needed, but this time he was vague, and he left in a hurry. It's been almost a month, which is really worrying. what!" Miss Qiao raised her cloudy face, glanced at me, then lowered her head and fell into deep thought. "I also think he's mysterious this time. It may be that he has received the wind and has a 'Dragon Mang' level of 'Da Dou', so it took a long time." This was originally just a comforting word, but recalling Joe The old man's strange behavior and secretive expression on the day before he left, I suddenly decided that this was the case.

"The Jinwei Mountain is surrounded by the Gobi Desert, so there is no big fight." Miss Qiao said wearily. "What? He went to Jinwei Mountain, did you mention the specific location?" I unconsciously raised my voice, and Ms. Qiao was taken aback, her brows frowned even tighter, and she said anxiously, "It's someone I've never even heard of." The place seems to be called Urila." "Urila..." At this time, Ms. Qiao must have been terrified by my reaction, her eyes widened and she asked, "What's wrong with you? You're shaking all over."

"What was he doing there?" "I've been entangled in this matter. I asked several times at the beginning, but he just kept silent." Miss Qiao was about to cry, her pale lips trembling slightly, and suddenly, she grabbed my hand tightly and asked, "What does this matter have to do with you?" Is it related? Why did he keep telling me not to tell you his whereabouts? Where is this Urila?" Before I could answer, Ms. Qiao was shocked again. She looked at me firmly and said, "That's right! He left you a letter before he left and asked me to give it to you at the end of the month. Maybe there will be clues in it. I'm going to get it now..."

How did old man Joe know the place name Urila?Why hide your whereabouts from me?Could it be that he is also looking for Bei Shanyu's golden coffin?What was that letter about?Looking at Miss Qiao's running back, I fell into a state of confusion and felt my head buzzing. After a while, Miss Qiao ran back with a letter in her hand, stuffed it into my hand without saying a word, and then stared at me expectantly.In the courtyard under the bright sun, in front of Miss Qiao, I tore open the envelope tremblingly, and shook out a piece of antique letter paper. It's hard to believe that such a delicate writing brush and running script came from old man Qiao. I looked at Ms. Qiao in surprise, she seemed to understand what I meant, and nodded affirmatively.So I turned my eyes back to the letter paper, and only halfway through it, I dispelled this doubt, because from the tone of the sentence, and even between the lines, I could feel the wretched aura of Old Man Qiao. "What did my father say?" Miss Qiao asked impatiently, pulling my sleeves tightly with both hands. "He admitted that he secretly opened my wooden box more than once, read my family's books, and found a secret from the wolf's fur..." "Ah! What wolf skin do you have? What secret do you have? Why don't I know about it?" Ms. Qiao looked at me in astonishment, a blush suddenly appeared on her originally pale face, she didn't know if she was ashamed of his father's ungentlemanly behavior, or felt that she was a bit too much in asking other people's secrets.I didn't want to embarrass her, so I pretended to be nonchalant and explained the ins and outs of wolf skin and Urila to her.From the father's last words, to the bedroom in Baishi Mountain, and even the adventure in the grassland, and finally the content of the letter—— "Boss Qiao looked through all the books in the wooden box, and copied out the wolf fur map. It happened that he recognized the ancient annotations on it. Combined with the broken book that my father tore up half of it before he died, he finally came to the conclusion that —— Bei Shanyu’s tomb is in Jinwei Mountain, and the black dot marked on the S-shaped line is Ulila. He said in his letter that he would go there to help me find the golden coffin of the Huns and bring back the wolf skull for me to unravel. curse……" "So it's like this!" Ms. Qiao murmured, her mood seemed to have calmed down.Suddenly, she raised her head again, and said with a flushed face, "My father probably didn't steal the wolf fur map! Go in and check, and I'll open the door for you." "It's okay, he was just curious, so he opened it and looked through it. I checked it before I went to Hanlaer Banner, and the picture was still in the box. He had been out for ten or twenty days at that time." I couldn't bear Miss Qiao's embarrassment, so I immediately explained to Old Man Qiao. In fact, no one knows the old man's nature. In his eyes, this old ghost who made his fortune by digging graves and stealing graves, in his eyes, does not have the word "steal" at all. " and "pick up".The reason why the wolf skin can be kept is because it cannot be exchanged for money, and it will alarm me. I believe he has secretly copied several copies.Thinking of this, I couldn't help worrying about the Quanzhen evil sword in the house, and nine out of ten he took it by hand. Miss Qiao quickly unlocked the door, handed the key back to me, and said, "Call me if something is missing." Then she stepped aside, as if to avoid suspicion.This made me so embarrassed that I had to walk into the room with a wry smile on my face.As soon as he looked up, he saw that the wall where the sword was originally hung was empty. As expected, old man Qiao showed no mercy.Now I became nervous, and hurriedly turned my gaze to the bottom of the bed. Fortunately, the small wooden box was safe and sound, and was still caught in a pile of sundries. "Come in and sit down, Sister Niyue." I turned around and shouted. "Did you lose anything?" Miss Qiao walked in slowly, pulled up a chair and sat down. "Uh...nothing." When Ms. Qiao heard this, she seemed relieved, and began to defend Old Man Qiao, "Although my father went to Ulila for himself, I believe that if he finds the golden coffin, he will definitely bring back the wolf skull and explain it to you. Damn it, forgive him!" "I also believe that, but Ulila is a very dangerous place. My grandfather died there, and the sixth master also disappeared. They didn't even find the shadow of Shan Yu's tomb." "Ah! You never told me this before." Miss Qiao's face turned pale again. "I'm sorry! Because this place is related to the fate of our family. Besides, I only found out after reading Boss Joe's letter that the note on the black dot on the map is Urila." "Can you show me the wolf fur map and the information about the wolf curse?" Miss Qiao said hurriedly, "I've never even heard of this place name, and I haven't found any records in ancient books. It's too weird. .” Without further ado, I opened the wooden box, spread the wolf fur on the table, pointed to the notes and was about to explain, but heard Ms. Qiao say: "This is the meaning of ancestors and holy places, and I can read the big Khitan characters." I heard her say again, "It's really strange, why is the code word of the Mongolian nobles used here? One picture has two words. Ah! Boletu River, Ulila is by the Boletu River! Oops, my father is in trouble." Miss Qiao suddenly stopped all movements, staring at the map with empty eyes, and after a while, two lines of tears flowed down.Seeing her reaction, I couldn't help but think of Uncle Hou Dao's words - "This is a cursed river, it disappeared without a trace overnight, and even the traces of the river bed are hard to see. For many years, anyone who wants to find Those who searched for the traces all lost their lives deep in the mountains, and never returned..." Could it be that Ms. Qiao has heard the legend of this river? "I'm going to Urila," said Miss Jo, expressionlessly, quite resolutely. "What? This is not a joke. Don't talk about the distance, there will be many unpredictable things, and you have never traveled far." "No! I must go." Ms. Qiao stood up "swish", looked at me with teary eyes and said, "The newspaper published a news the day before yesterday, saying that there was a six-member foreign expedition team in Jinwei Mountain. Missing, and only three shriveled corpses were found later. The cause of death was strange, suspected to be attacked by unknown creatures. Did you know that the place where the accident happened was on the dry bed of the Boletu River. After I saw it, I was always disturbed , because my father didn't know there was such a danger at all, and he must have not taken precautions. There has been no news for so long this time, I'm afraid it's..." "Okay! I'll go with you." Although my fate made me a hooligan, I still couldn't stand the woman crying in front of me. Impulsively, I patted my chest and said, "Let's go now, if we don't find you Daddy swears he won't come back." "En!" Miss Qiao grabbed my hand and said with a smile on her face, "Not only do we want to find Daddy, but we also need to dig out Bei Chanyu's skull and break the spell for you." I have never been so close to Ms. Qiao, looking at her pear-blossoming face, I felt a little distracted, so I quickly pulled out my hand and said in a deep voice, "We have to make preparations first, after all, we are not going on a trip." "It's better for you to calm down, I've forgotten myself." Ms. Qiao wiped away her tears quietly, raised her head and said, "The Jinwei Mountain crosses the border. If you want to enter it openly, you must have a certificate. You'd better go to Director Wang and see him." Can you help me out?" "Looking for him?" Looking back on this trip to the Hanlaer Banner, Uncle Wang's various behaviors are unpredictable, especially his desire for map annotations, his reaction is by no means normal.But Miss Qiao is also right, with a woman, it is very difficult to sneak in unobtrusively.After careful consideration, I still decided to ask Uncle Wang for help. ... After eating the fried noodles made by Ms. Qiao, I wiped my mouth. Regardless of the fatigue of the journey, I rode old man Qiao's broken bicycle and went straight to Wangfujing Street.It was already past three o'clock in the afternoon, and it is estimated that Director Wang should still be in the unit. When I approached the gate of the Institute of Ancient Culture, the janitor with a red sleeve appeared out of nowhere. He no longer recognized me, and asked with a smile, "Looking for someone?" "Master, I'm looking for Director Wang of the Archaeological Institute." "Director Wang! He just left a few minutes ago." "Then...he lives in the unit's dormitory, right? I'll wait for him to come back." "No need to wait, he took a long vacation and just entrusted me with the dormitory key." The words of the gatekeeper were like a splash of cold water, and I froze in place.This happened too suddenly, how long did it take to get off the train!Uncle Wang asked for leave in such a hurry, did something happen at home?I wanted to ask Uncle Wang's address, but looking at his guarded eyes, I'm afraid I won't reveal it easily.At this time, I thought of Wei Jianguo, this nerd must know.So the topic changed- "Master, what about Wei Jianguo? Which hospital does he live in?" "Let me ask." The old man walked into the concierge, and then heard a burst of yelling, presumably on the phone.After a while, he poked his head out and said, "Wei Jianguo is on the fourth floor of Gongzhufen 363 Hospital." "Thank you, sir." I turned the car around and hesitated as soon as I stepped on it.It's at least twenty miles away from Gongzhufen, and it's a busy street, so you can't get there in an hour or two. Is it necessary?But thinking of Ms. Qiao's sad and urgent eyes, I cheered up and set off. I have been to 363 Hospital once. That year when our mother and son arrived in Beijing, my immortal grandfather was hospitalized here because of gastric bleeding. At this time, I was sweating profusely looking at this white building. Thinking back on these things, I felt very uncomfortable. As soon as I climbed up to the fourth floor, before I had time to catch my breath, two people immediately surrounded me, stared at me vigilantly and asked, "This is a special surveillance area. Who are you looking for? Do you have any documents?" "I'm looking for Wei Jianguo from the Archaeological Institute." "Certificate." Those two people spread their hands in front of me, looking arrogant, they really deserve a beating, what documents do they need for this visit?Just as I was about to have a seizure, I saw a familiar figure protruding from the ward. That person was Wei Jianguo. He gestured for me to go over. "You recovered so quickly, did you take the elixir?" I greeted with a smile, and stepped into the ward, only to find that there was another person sitting inside, an old guy with a serious expression, so I put away my laughing expression. "Okay! I'll go out first and come back at night." The old ghost twisted up his briefcase and met me face to face. His eyes were so fierce that it made people shudder, as if I owed him a lot of money. What the hell?Today is really against evil, hit a wall everywhere. "How did you find this place?" Wei Jianguo poured me a glass of water. "Why! I can't come? I saved your life!" I vented all my anger on him, and I felt baffled when it was over. "Hey!" Wei Jianguo smiled shyly, and asked suddenly, "Is Director Wang calling you here?" "No! I haven't met him yet. By the way! Did you know that he took a long vacation?" "I know. Uh... I just found out." Wei Jianguo looked up the corridor, and after confirming that there was no one outside, he lowered his voice and asked, "Do you have business with him? It's about the business of Liulichang?" This kid is pretending to be tricky and trying to talk, he's still young!I pretended to be angry, and said in a louder voice, "What business? I just want him to help you issue a unit certificate." "Oh! What do you want to prove? Come on, maybe I can help you, after all, you are the lifesaver!" "You're a smart boy." I smiled happily. It seemed that this trip was not in vain. I thought that since he knew my father's life experience, he must also know about the wolf curse, so I said bluntly: "I have a In order to unravel the curse, my relatives went to the desert alone to find Bei Shanyu's tomb, and there has been no news for almost a month now. I am afraid that something will happen to him, so I want to go to meet him..." "Where?" Wei Jianguo interrupted. "Jin Weishan." "Jinwei Mountain stretches for thousands of miles, do you know where it is?" Wei Jianguo suddenly became very verbose, I looked at him puzzled, and said in a rascally tone, "I just know." "Okay! I won't ask anymore, and I don't care if you really want to find someone, anyway, the proof is on me, but! You have to take me there." "What...what are you going to do?" "Cooperation! You must know that Jinwei Mountain is a national border, and it is difficult for you to enter without a document." Wei Jianguo showed a rare sinister smile, winked and said, "Actually, I knew that you came from a family of tomb robbers, but I also understand the difficulties of the Geng family. For public and private reasons, we might as well cooperate, you take your skull, I get my reputation, how about that?" "Then...do you still go with Uncle Wang?" "He's already on a long vacation. This time it's just the two of us. However, I can guarantee that you, me, Director Wang, and Uncle Hou Dao, we will definitely meet again." When Wei Jianguo said this, I weighed it up and thought it was feasible, firstly because I can still deal with this kid, secondly, all the secrets are in my own hands, I am not afraid of him cheating, and the two of them have no conflict of interest .And it is indeed much more convenient to have him come forward, the only worry is that he will be suffocated to death by this stuffy gourd all the way. "Okay! Let's set off tomorrow, are you healthy?" "Hey! In fact, my ancestors were also nomads, and the sky in the desert is my home. Once I get there, I will be full of energy and look radiant..." Pooh!Wasn't it being dragged back to Beijing like a dead fish?I cursed secretly, and suddenly realized, no wonder he looks the same as that Yelu Canglang, so they are related by blood. ... After making an appointment with Wei Jianguo to meet at Liulichang tomorrow morning, I hurried back to Nanliu Lane. At this time, the street was already lit up, which happened to be rush hour, and the turbulent flow of people filled the bicycle lane. From a distance, it looked like A large group of blue and black ants are busy.I sighed helplessly, Miss Qiao must have been anxiously waiting. After finally returning to Nanliu Lane, he was startled by a black shadow at the entrance of the alley.The man was originally squatting in a dark place where the street lights couldn't reach him. As soon as I approached him, he suddenly jumped up and grabbed my handlebar.Damn it!I instinctively raised my foot to kick, the man looked chubby, but his reaction was extremely fast, he retreated to the corner and shouted loudly: "Brother Tianhua, it's me, I'm Tianbao!" "It's you! Why did you come to Beijing? Aren't you digging coal in Shanxi?" I jumped out of the car and looked at him anxiously, thinking that something good would happen so suddenly, and I hope it didn't come to spread bad news. "I... I asked for sick leave." Tianbao said perfunctorily, and immediately changed the topic. "I found it according to the address in your letter. The capital is so big, it's not easy! That stinky bitch in the courtyard kicked me out." I haven't seen him for more than half a year, but Tianbao has obviously matured a lot, and he actually knows how to divert his attention, which makes me a little bit unresponsive.Seeing his timid expression, he knew that there was something hard to say, so he stopped asking, picked up his luggage, and the two of them walked into the yard silently. "What's wrong with your red face? Come on, what's going on?" I asked straight to the point as soon as I entered the room. "Brother Tianhua! I'm hopeless, it's...it's the damn wolf curse." "What? You lost your virginity? You forgot all the rules of our Geng family? If you can't control it, you should cut it off..." I jumped up and cursed, but my heart was very painful. Except for my mother, Tianbao He is the closest one of my few relatives, and I have always treated him as a brother. This sad news is like a bolt from the blue, and the kind of pain can be imagined. At this time, Miss Qiao, who was alarmed by the door opening, just walked to the door, and just in time to hear this conversation, she said "ah" and walked back shyly. "Stay well, and see how I deal with you later." I threw down a sentence harshly, and chased out to find Ms. Qiao to discuss the issue of certificates. Miss Qiao was sitting on the stone slab in the yard, watching me come out, she turned her eyes to a jasmine plant beside her in embarrassment. At this time, the moonlight had just slanted into the yard, reflecting her complicated expression. I told her in detail what happened in the afternoon and expressed my opinion. She listened intently, nodded occasionally to express her agreement, and finally said—— "Uncle Wang is very strange. He took a long vacation just after he came back. Do you think he has returned to Hanlaer Banner?" "Ah! Why is he going back?" I couldn't help being stunned. In fact, I also had this kind of speculation deep in my heart, but I couldn't think of the reason. "He wants to get back the gold utensils that he buried privately." Ms. Qiao said with a serious expression: "This is what I guess——he drugged the big kettle, knocked you three out, and then sneaked down to Take all the gold objects from the tomb, find another place to bury them, and then pretend that you are also poisoned." "Is there any basis for your guess? This method can be done by other people, including me." "Okay! Let me analyze it for you." Ms. Qiao stood up slowly, and said with a serious face: "First of all, there is no sign of outsiders getting involved in your trip. It is obvious that those who dig holes, drug drugs, and steal gold It's one of the four of you. Do you have that kind of colorless, odorless drug that even the old fox, Uncle Hou Dao, can't detect? This is only available to people who go to the rivers and lakes or study chemistry." "That's Uncle Hou Dao and Uncle Wang!" "Hmm!" Ms. Qiao raised a hand and said with gestures: "Honest Uncle is a local guide. He has participated in archaeology many times and must know the rules of not breaking or digging. He was the first to discover the Khitan tomb. If he covets If it is a ghost weapon inside, I will not point it out at all, let alone dig a hole. You can make a fortune by yourself after you leave. The only ones who are so eager to start are Uncle Wang and Wei Jianguo who came all the way from thousands of miles away. Tell us about Wei Jianguo!I think he is a very ambitious person, now he is in full bloom and has a bright future, and it is unlikely that he will ruin his bright future for money.If it is said that he dug the hole for the purpose of finding an excuse for archaeological excavation, this is possible, but it is definitely not for the purpose of stealing the ghost weapon.Besides, the matter of his mercury poisoning is also very strange. It is obvious that someone wants to get rid of him, and the only person who has the most motivation and the conditions for doing so is your Uncle Wang. " "Ah! No wonder he was so frightened when he saw that mask that looked like Wei Jianguo's. It turned out that he had a ghost in his heart." Ms. Qiao's analysis aroused my memories. At this time, all kinds of strange actions of Uncle Wang kept reappearing in my mind. When I thought of the moment when the door-sealing stone fell, I felt a chill rise from the bottom of my feet and spread to every nerve. The whole person froze in place immediately. In other words, the door-sealing stone was also his fault.That must be the case, he knew in advance that there would be a secret passage connecting the Three Realms Tombs in Khitan, and he explored it by the way when he stole the gold that night, and the footprints leading to the bedroom in the mud were left at that time.After confirming that there is a way out, he became malicious—using the iron chain hanging stone mechanism to create an "accident" in order to get rid of other people.He purposely scurried around in the burial room, with the purpose of detecting the contact points of the mechanism. When the first door-sealing stone fell, he danced and danced to create a tense atmosphere, coaxing others to escape from the tomb, and thus was trapped to death by the second door-sealing stone In the corridor.In this way, Hou Daobo and I are tomb robbers who died in an accident, while Wei Jianguo became a martyr who died for the cause of archaeology... How insidious!Presumably the invitation to go with me this time was not out of any kindness, but just to inquire about the secrets of the map, and for the golden coffin of the Xiongnu.He treats me like a child, otherwise I will eventually slip up.After confirming that he couldn't get it, he started to kill. I gritted my teeth, furious and very puzzled. As the director, Uncle Wang is also considered a leader in the archaeological field. How could he do such a nasty thing?Is money really everything? "You know the market in the antique world. The higher the level of the ghost weapon, the harder it is to sell, and the risk is great. If you fail it, you will go to jail. Don't look at the Khitan tomb. There are a lot of valuable things. If you find them, you don't know Only one piece can be sold, and the only ones that come in quickly and have no future problems are gold wares, but they can only be sold at the price of gold after melting." Ms. Qiao paused, and then said: "This man is an expensive archaeologist, but he doesn't even He can do all kinds of things that forget his ancestors, which shows how greedy he is. Judging from the fact that he carries drugs with him, he must have been prepared from the beginning. I dare say that he has done this more than once. Maybe your father is also him. Killed." "That's not true. My father did die at the age of thirty-five due to the wolf curse." "Is the wolf curse really that vicious? Does it really happen as soon as you marry a woman?" After all, Ms. Qiao is a girl, and she can't help but look shy when talking about men and women. Influenced by it, I also became inexplicably shy and hesitated for a while. Seeing the embarrassing situation, Ms. Qiao immediately changed the subject. "I don't think Wei Jianguo is a simple person. When you say that he has no official and no position, his tone is not small. It is a big deal to bring outsiders out for archaeology. He actually agreed. Does he have the right? If he didn't fool you, That's -- someone's got his back, and it's a big guy." Big shot?Could it be that old ghost with fierce eyes that I met in the ward?Thinking of that man's sharp eyes, I trembled, and I couldn't explain why, I just felt very guilty. "Brother, do you have something to eat? I haven't even drank any water all day." Tianbao walked out while rubbing his stomach, interrupting my thoughts. "Sister Niyue, this is my cousin. He just arrived in Beijing today." I made an introduction, then turned around and cursed, "It's better to starve to death! Anyway, you don't want to live anymore." "You're hungry too! I'm going to cook right now." After meeting Tianbao, Ms. Qiao went straight to the kitchen. "Brother, this girl is quite beautiful, you..." As soon as Tianbao opened his mouth, he was kicked upside down by me. "Your boy will never change. Tell me, what have you done?" "I'm so sorry!" Tianbao simply sat on the ground, drooping his head, and said sadly, "Brother, my mother passed away last month." "Ah... why didn't you inform me of such a big event?" "Master Li helped with the funeral. Maybe I don't have your mailing address! I was buried when I rushed back." Tianbao glanced at me, and then said, "I was in such a bad mood those days, I really wanted to die , I was confused for a while, and I did that kind of thing with my friend... After returning to the mine, on the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar, it... I had an attack. Brother, the taste of the wolf curse is really uncomfortable!" Looking at Tianbao's terrified and bewildered eyes, my heart ached unceasingly. Looking back on my own life experience, I felt the sorrow of a rabbit dead and a fox, and my desire to find the golden coffin of the Xiongnu was even stronger. "Get up! Brother, I'm going to Mobei tomorrow. This time, I must find Bei Shanyu's tomb and break the wolf curse of our Geng family." "I'm going too." Hearing this, Tianbao jumped up, then suddenly fell to his knees, put on a heroic look, raised his head and chest and said, "I won't get up if you don't agree..." At this time, Miss Qiao came over with two bowls of noodles. I was afraid that Tianbao would be embarrassed, and I was about to pull him, but this guy jumped up again, rushed to Miss Qiao, snatched a bowl with a playful smile, squatted on the stone bar, and was speechless. It tasted even more exaggerated than a starved ghost. "Hurry up and eat!" Ms. Qiao handed me another bowl of noodles, and whispered into my ear, "Don't make up your own mind, we have to discuss this matter with Wei Jianguo." "It's okay! He will definitely agree, I know." "Why?" Miss Qiao looked puzzled. "I don't understand it either. Intuition! Intuition tells me that his desire for the golden coffin of the Huns is no less than anyone else's." ... This night, Tianbao and I chatted almost till dawn, and we talked about things that must be paid attention to when we go out.Ms. Qiao didn't seem to have slept well either. When she came to call the door in the morning, I saw red threads in her eyes. After breakfast, the three of them packed up and were ready to go. At this time, I wanted to persuade Miss Qiao to stay at home, but when I saw her melancholy eyes, I knew that I would not agree.Although the old man Qiao is extremely wretched, cunning, and stingy, he dotes on Miss Qiao very much. I have always been jealous of the relationship between their father and daughter.I understand Ms. Qiao's feelings, and also understand her desperation for the safety of her family. Wei Jianguo has been to Zhengtianzhai, and he made an appointment to meet there yesterday. When the three of us arrived, he was already standing in front of the store, with a jeep parked beside him.It seems that Ms. Qiao's guess is right. This guy must be backed by someone, and he can even get a car. Seeing that there were three of us, Wei Jianguo was taken aback for a moment, then pulled me aside, and said in a low voice, "What do you want to do with your family? Is this a joke?" "They are all my relatives. If we don't go with us, I'm afraid we will be in vain this time." I had expected Wei Jianghui to say this, and I had figured out how to deal with it, so I put his shoulders on his shoulders and pretended to be mysterious. Said: "Do you know who they are? The masters of Milonglou in the Three Qin Dynasty. One is familiar with the history, customs, and funeral ceremonies of the nomadic peoples in the north, and the other is good at surveying the land and fighting in the sand. Dare I say, less They can't do anything, and they're not outsiders." Wei Jianguo was fooled by me for a while, he really believed it, and kept nodding, but he was cunning enough, walked over with a smile, and asked Tianbao, "What's your name?" "My surname is Geng, and my name is Tianbao." "Girl, Tianhua said that you have studied the history of nomadic peoples, and I have Khitan blood. Can you help me find my roots and ancestors?" Wei Jianguo turned to Miss Qiao with a sinister smile on his face. "Even experts and scholars can't figure this out. My guess is—the Xiongnu, which originated from the Huns." Ms. Qiao smiled back. She seemed to understand that Wei Jianguo was trying to figure it out, so she talked eloquently, "I have read almost all For historical books related to nomads, let’s start with the last Xiongnu. After the death of Beidan, all the remnants of them were surrendered to Xianbei, and later merged into the Rouran tribe. It is mentioned in "Rui Biography". In 389 AD, Rouran was broken up by the Northern Wei Dynasty and divided into two tribes, the North and the South. Located south of the Xilamulun River in Inner Mongolia, it became the later Khitan. Of course, these are all my personal guesses, just talking, don’t take it seriously.” "Ah!" Wei Jianguo seemed to have been knocked on the head, his frivolous expression disappeared instantly, and his face was full of shock and admiration, and it took him a while to recover and said: "This is the first time I've heard of it. What's the girl's name?" "The class is messed up, my name is Qiao Niyue, please give me your advice." "Your name is Joe?" Ms. Qiao missed the point. Wei Jianguo turned around and gave me a hard look. Fortunately, he didn't pursue it anymore. He raised his hand and looked at his watch, and said nervously, "Oops! We have to hurry to the station, I only book two A ticket, if you are late, you will not be able to make it up." Wei Jianguo was with the driver. Five people and one jeep were obviously crowded. Tianbao was a big man, so he was pushed to the front row. Ms. Qiao sat on one side, and I was naturally caught in the middle. As soon as I sat down, I smelled her The body fragrance emanating faintly made him feel at a loss for what to do.Fortunately, Tianbao chatted with the driver as soon as the car started. "We can also drive this kind of car. My friend's father drives for the leader..." "Okay, okay! Don't disturb others." I interrupted quickly, thinking that you stupid boy, don't make a fool of me before you get on the train. "You really know how? Well, when we get to Baotou, let's get a car and drive by ourselves." Wei Jianguo put on a proud face. "Baotou? Are we going to Baotou?" This time it was my turn to be dazed. "Brother Wei, can you tell me about the itinerary first?" Miss Qiao asked, turning her head to the side, her delicate red lips almost touching my neck. "Okay, okay!" Wei Jianguo became more energetic, took out the map from his bag, pointed and foamed... This stinky nerd, dead boring gourd, why did he get enlightened today?More words were said than in Hanlaer Banner combined.I cursed secretly, the more I looked at him, the more I felt his big eyes were bewitching...
