death of man

☆、36、Institute

The author has something to say: there is no abandoned pit, and the weekend is in Jisan...

I only earned 20 yuan after playing for more than 50 hours, and I worked really hard.

Conventional Carvin

36. Institute

"Can you change the conditions, for example, I will help you visit the shop for free for ten years..."

"No talk."

"..."

So on the second day, I obediently got up early and followed Boss Qi to the research institute in the city by car.

The research institute is located in an alley in the old city of Changsha. The road is not difficult to find, but the building is not too new from the outside.

The house is about three storeys high, and the outside is already covered with ivy that was planted in an unknown age. When I opened the door and walked in, there were already many people inside.

From the looks of it, most of them were freshmen, some of them came up to say hello with a smile when they saw Qi Yu, "Hello senior."

"..." This feeling is very subtle. Boss Qi, who was ignorant and unsophisticated in my impression, suddenly became a senior in the research institute with gold and silver plating. I looked at Qi Yu and realized it later , like Xie Lianhuan, he seems to be a student of the University of Archeology?

Just being surprised here, another woman has already come out of the research institute, she was taken aback when she saw Qi Yu, and then smiled, "Why, Xiao Qi, you finally figured it out, come over to help?"

The tone was also casual and familiar, and it seemed that he had a good relationship with Qi Yu.

Qi Yu also smiled and said, "I have this idea, but the main reason I came to see you today is to recommend someone to you."

After finishing speaking, he pushed me towards that person, "This one, count... I am a friend, she heard that there is a shortage of people in your research institute, so she wanted to come over to see if there is anything that can help .”

After listening to Qi Yu's words, the woman turned her probing eyes to me, but her attitude was sincere and enthusiastic. She came up to shake my hand and said with a smile, "Welcome."

The strength of her handshake was not as light as that of a normal handshake, and her fingertips gently rubbed my fingertips when they were shaking hands, as if to confirm something.I didn't evade, and shook back normally, and the two of them let go of their hands, and the man smiled, "I haven't introduced myself yet, I'm Chen Wenjin, I'm barely the person in charge of this research institute, I don't know how to call it .”

...It turns out that she is Wen Jin.

I also smiled and nodded, "Hello, Feng Heng."

After a brief self-introduction, the three of them stand at the gate and talk, which is a bit in the way.Wen Jin led us up to the second floor. There were far fewer people here than on the first floor, but there were a lot of things there. She looked at Qi Yu, then at me, and asked, "I don't know if Miss Feng Which one is better at?"

At this time, the research institute still has a staff, and the control of personnel is relatively strict.Those who temporarily joined the archaeological team like Wu Sansheng are lucky to say that Xisha's team has not yet formed at this time, and most of the people who come here to report will eventually join the team.

Qi Yu also took a look at me, and said, "Maybe I can't help much in the early stage, but she has a good eye for seeing things. Later, when the cultural relics come out, they need to be cleaned up and archived. That may be her strong point."

Wen Jin heard this and gave me a slightly surprised look.

I know that in terms of archaeology, such as later registration, cleaning, and restoration work, more experienced professionals are needed, and students who have just entered the institute cannot do it now.But after all, Qi Yu's words were already there, Wen Jin didn't ask any further, just took me to another room on the second floor, and said, "Since Xiao Qi said so, I'll trouble you to try it out first." .”

I glanced at the room in front of me, and it looked a little older.The lighting is good, and the surrounding walls have been renovated.The floor was made of wood, and there was a long table in the middle. There were roughly several areas on it, and different cultural relics were placed in each.At a cursory glance, there are some in the ground and some in the sea, but there are more things from overseas shopping.

Wen Jin took me to a corner of the room, where there was a pile of broken utensil fragments, but because there was less sea rust, it looked like it was going to be classified and restored.

Wen Jin said, "In two hours, I'll come over and take a look. Just do your best."

When leaving, she closed the door behind her.

However, after she left, I could only feel a headache looking at the pile of debris in front of me.

I can tell what the prototypes of these utensils are, roughly which age they were formed, and what they are worth in the market, but I may not be able to store them in different categories and restore them—if I see these things in the tomb, they are probably the same. Throw away what you don't need.

If the craftsmanship handed down from the Inverted Dou is to be used in archaeology, it will not work at all. The Inverted Dou pays more attention to the immediate interests, and they will choose to smash or destroy the things that cannot be moved or taken away. Lose.Archeology, on the other hand, is to sift out every fragment of history from the soil, perhaps just a rusty piece of iron, or one or two shapeless bricks and tiles, and what can be verified may be a dynasty.

Wen Jin just shook hands with me, but he was actually confirming my origin.These days, there are not a few people who want to use the name of "archaeology" to carry out "grave robbery".Most of the older generation in Changsha City who rely on this to eat have been cleansed, but their descendants can continue some of the family's business through this method.I admire her prudence, but when this prudence has turned into an insurmountable problem before me, all I have left is a wry smile.

...what else can I do.Boss Qi's big words are already there. If I say that I can't do it, I'm afraid it's just making him a laughing stock.I still want to continue to hang out in Changsha City, so at this moment, I can only bite the bullet and drive the ducks to the shelves.

Two hours later, Wen Jin arrived as scheduled.

Behind her was Boss Qi, who was obviously in a good mood.

The classification work of the pile of vessels in front of me has already been carried out in sevens and eighties. If you want to do further restoration, you may have to borrow other professional tools.Fortunately, the general classification that needs to be done has been completed - the two clay pots that were originally placed on the table should be relatively similar in size, shape and even raw materials, and they should appear to be from the same batch of kilns.Such pottery products gradually became less and less after the Tang Dynasty. Judging from the texture and heat of the yellow clay tires, it may be something that was fired in a private kiln in the early Tang Dynasty.

The damage to the bodies of the two clay pots is relatively serious, so it is extremely difficult to classify them.Moreover, many components from other pottery pots were mixed into this pile of pottery fragments. In the end, there were six piles of pottery fragments presented in front of Wenjin.

Not only Wen Jin, but even Boss Qi behind her was taken aback when he saw the six pottery piles.

I turned off the light on the table, and then opened the half of the curtain that I had just drawn, and pointed to the two piles with the most pottery fragments on it, and explained, "These two pottery pots are mostly broken here. The difference between the original ones should not be very big. But these four..." I pointed to them one by one, "It's on the other four jars with different shapes from different batches."

"..." All of a sudden, the two of them fell silent, and I felt a little guilty. Could it be that I was not professional enough or not rigorous enough?

While his palms were sweating, Wen Jin suddenly smiled, turned his head and shook his head at Qi Yu who was behind him, "You won, I will decide on this person."

Qi Yu winked at me and smiled like a fox who stole fish.

Afterwards, things became logical, and Wen Jin offered me a formal invitation to join the institute.

But my identity document is really a huge problem in front of me. I think Qi Yu also understands this, but I don’t know how he told Wen Jin without any information from me. In the end, Wen Jin still issued a research paper. The organizational documents of the institute have accepted what I call "archives" by the way.

I asked Qi Yu to find someone to match me with the ugliest pair of thick-rimmed glasses, and I trimmed the hair curtain, and tied two rough braids on both sides.When he brought the glasses to his face, even Qi Yu showed a complicated expression, and asked me with his mouth pursed, "How did you make yourself look like this?"

It's not a deliberate attempt to hide it, I know that many people will come to the Institute in the future, and 20 years later, I will even go to deal with some of them.This body has its own talent, even Boss Qi showed a similar amazing performance when he saw it for the first time... I'm not sure if I can integrate into the circle of Wen Jin and Huo Ling in the future, However, considering the working relationship, some things should be restrained.

Women are always willing to embarrass those who are more beautiful than themselves, and more or less, they will have some hidden sympathy for those who are not as good as themselves.What I need is this bit of neglect and compassion.

At this time, the archaeological team that will go to Xisha has not yet formed. At least the faces I saw in the research institute are only Wen Jin, Qi Yu, and Jie Lianhuan.

Xie Lianhuan was one of the earliest members of the archaeological team. He had the experience of studying abroad and showed great talent in archaeology. It could be seen that Wen Jin relied heavily on him in the research institute.

His behavior is a bit like his father, cautious, strict and gentle, and he is quite popular in the research institute on weekdays.

Later, several archaeological universities came to report, most of them were junior or senior students.There are quite a few new faces among them, some are male and some are female. I picked out a few familiar names, such as Huo Ling and Li Sidi, and took a closer look. Apart from the fact that Huo Ling is really pretty, I don't think they are any different from other people. What is the difference between people.

In the research institute, I didn't see Zhang Qiling, which surprised me the most.

You know, the time now is almost the best season to go to Xisha for maritime archaeology. If you miss it, you may have to wait until next year.What's more, with his weight in the Xisha archaeological team in the future, if this time does not appear again, it would be unreasonable for him to join the team going to Xisha.

Just thinking about it, there was a sudden commotion downstairs.

When Qi Yu is not around on weekdays, I spend more time alone in the room on the second floor.Boss Qi is still busy with his studies, and the shop at home is not always free. More often, he comes to the institute not to work, but to pick me up.

As for Xie Lianhuan, at this time he is assisting Wenjin in collecting some ancient books, and wants to find clues from them to support the next archaeological operation. In the previous routine meetings, Wenjin has faintly revealed that in the next few days, There will be news that an archaeological team will go to the south to conduct maritime archaeology.

The severely damaged fragments of cultural relics are really a headache to see. At this moment when I heard the movement outside, I naturally put down the things at hand and opened the door to go out.

Coincidentally, I saw Xie Lianhuan rubbing his temples coming out of the room next to him, and Wenjin was on his way. He was a little surprised when he saw us, and smiled and said, "It just so happens that I was about to come up to look for you." you."

I looked in the direction of the stairs, and I couldn't see the situation below at all from this angle, "Why is it so lively below, is there anything good delivered?"

Wen Jin shook his head with a smile, "A new colleague came here to report for the first time today, so I'll come up and call you, so that everyone can get to know each other first."

I nodded and followed Wen Jin, and Xie Lianhuan didn't refuse.When I got down the stairs, there were already quite a few people in the hall of the institute.Many of them are new acquaintances, but my attention is not on them——

The man standing against the light at the door is still the same 20 years later.

It just looks younger and more distant now.

Still dressed in dark clothes, Wen Jin brought the two of us over and said, "Let me introduce, this is Xiao Zhang, Zhang Qiling, new to our team."

Xie Lianhuan stretched out his hand politely, and Zhang Qiling shook his hand too.When he got to my side, he turned his head slightly and raised his outstretched hand a little higher.

I backed away a little calmly, and then took the initiative to hold his hand.

"Nice to meet you."

He shook it back lightly, with no expression on his face.The unmarried women on the side had already gathered around and began to ask questions around Zhang Qiling. I avoided the crowd and frowned slightly.

—He was trying to take off my glasses just now.

☆, 37, notes

37. Notes

On the evening when Zhang Qiling came to the institute, during dinner, Qi Yu asked me about Zhang Qiling.

"I heard that there is a new person here today, and he seems to be quite young."

He didn't go to the research institute to report all day today, but he heard the news so soon.It seems that the composition of the personnel in the institute is also something worth thinking about.

I looked at Boss Qi who was eating slowly and said slowly, "Yeah, I heard that his surname is Zhang, but I can't remember his name clearly. Wen Jin didn't elaborate on what he does, just introduce him to everyone and get to know each other first. one time."

Although he knew that he was talking nonsense with his eyes open, his expressions, tone, and demeanor had to be in place without any hesitation or affectation.After hearing this, Qi Yu put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth casually, "What do you think of him?"

This is an interrogative sentence, but the tone sounds like a declarative sentence. I frowned slightly and replied, "I haven't had much contact with him, so it's hard to say now. But he doesn't seem to be particularly outgoing, so People in the village greeted him, but [-] out of [-] would ignore him."

Qi Yu asked the waiter to put away the bowls and chopsticks, and turned to look at me carefully.I was a little scared by his eyes, but I still couldn't show timidity on my face, "Why, are you interested in him?"

"Heh." Boss Qi suddenly smiled for no reason, as if muttering to himself, "My surname is Zhang..."

There is no need for me to continue this topic. The story of the old Changsha Nine-door Admiral may be just a story that has become history for ordinary people. The largest tomb robbery activity in history led by Zhang Qiling may get a few fragments from Qi Tiezui.

The second day of Zhang Qiling's arrival was a holiday in the institute.

Boss Qi went out early in the morning, and I usually slept until dawn and woke up.

The diary he brought with him was recorded piecemeal, but his mood became calmer and calmer.

It felt a little uncomfortable and a little out of breath.

I just came to rob the tomb before, because I wanted to get out of the tomb and get an identity, so I desperately made a deal with Wu Sansheng.

Then, because I thought of the Bronze Gate and looked forward to various scenes after returning, I went to Changbai Mountain without hesitation.

But when I actually entered the bronze gate, I unexpectedly came to 20 years ago.I suddenly couldn't figure out the purpose of the whole story, and I didn't know what I could do.

When people lose their goals, it is always easy to lose their fighting spirit.I was a little disheartened and thought, anyway, even if I went to Xisha, I would face the same ending of being imprisoned as Wenjin and the others. Since I can’t go back 20 years later, why don’t I just stay in old Changsha and live like this? .

Putting away the diary, not long after Qi Yu went out, I also left the shop and wanted to take a look on the street.

To be honest, I still have a good impression of the city of Changsha.

It's not just because there are many friends who stay in this city, but because Zhang Chacha once stayed in this place.

Even if the streets of old Changsha and the surrounding buildings are completely unreminiscent of 20 years later, after all, it can be counted as having stayed in the same city.

Before I knew it, I came to the vicinity of the University of Archeology.Because it was the weekend, there were not many students coming and going at the gate of the university.Actually, I don't know anything about this school. The access control of the university is very strict. I glanced at the security guards patrolling the gate and gave up the idea of ​​going in. Unexpectedly, when I turned around and wanted to leave, I found a familiar road. The figure walked out of the school.

He didn't walk slowly, and he seemed to have no distractions.Oddly enough, I avoided him, and then followed him calmly.

He seemed to be very familiar with old Changsha, walking around the streets without any hesitation.I thought about it. He should be in the state of amnesia for the first time at this time. As for whether it is really "amnesia", I am not too sure.

Following like this, the person in front suddenly flashed around the corner and disappeared without a trace.

I knew it—I was discovered.

The location is a crossroad in Changsha City, and the surrounding pedestrians and vehicles are still shuttling back and forth without any influence.I caught a glimpse of an old-fashioned teahouse nearby, walked in, and asked the waiter for a pot of Dahongpao.

When the tea was just served, another figure also entered the tea house and walked up to me.

I smiled, and politely gave up the seat opposite, "What a coincidence."

Zhang Qiling sat down expressionlessly, "Unfortunately, you followed me."

I quietly looked at the person in front of me, he was not much different from 20 years later.It's just that he is quieter now than 20 years later, and there seems to be something separated around him, which makes him unconsciously separated from everything around him.

"Well, believe it or not, it was just an accident... I'll buy you tea."

Turning the upside-down clean teacup over, I poured a cup of tea and handed it to him, "Meeting is fate, let's toast."

He reached out to touch the teacup, but didn't raise his hand.Embarrassed, I took a sip of my tea and asked, "Why did you follow me in?"

Zhang Qiling looked up at me, with a rare hesitation on his face, "It feels like you are very familiar."

I barely choked to death on this sip of tea.If 20 years later, he said that this sentence feels very familiar to you, I would not have such a big reaction.However, in this situation, at this moment, I suddenly felt that fate would not be so cruel—he would think that I was very familiar, which era would I go back to?

"Have you lost your memory?" I asked.

Zhang Qiling nodded.

I was speechless.

I broke the jar and said, "Actually, I really know you."

The eyes of the man on the opposite side brightened obviously, and then dimmed instantly. He shook his head, "I don't believe you." He looked at me and said almost every word, "You are not human, you came out of a bucket thing."

"..." I finally understood why he had such an expression when we met for the first time. It turned out that it was just a simple meeting, and he had already seen the clues of this body.

I also put down the teacup and looked at him, "Believe it or not, I came here because I entered a bronze gate in Changbai Mountain with you."

When he heard the bronze door, his face was in a trance, but he didn't show any enlightened expression.Just when I wanted to continue talking, his eyes suddenly moved, and he stood up abruptly and looked outside the teahouse.

The action came so suddenly that even I was startled.The other tea drinkers in the teahouse were also attracted by the movement from our side. I was about to ask him what happened, when I heard him say, "...So it's not you who have been following me."

"..." I wanted to ask something more, but Zhang Qiling had already left the teahouse abruptly.I hurriedly asked the clerk to pay the bill, and waited until I walked out of the teahouse. I couldn't see him on the road.

I calm down and think carefully about what Zhang Qiling just said.

The reason why he followed me into the teahouse was because he found someone following him, and he thought it was me who was following him.

But when the two of us started talking, he found that the person was still there, so he chased him out suddenly.

Who would be the one who would follow Zhang Qiling at this time?

Is it Jude Kao?Or Xiejia, or—"it"?

Back at the shop, Qi Yu hadn't come back yet.Because I walked through the main entrance, the guy who was in charge of watching the counter stopped me immediately.

"Miss Feng."

I responded, looked at him with some surprise and asked, "What's wrong?"

He took out a letter from the counter and handed it over, "Someone sent a letter this morning, saying it was for you."

I took the envelope. It was a very common cowhide envelope used by the post office, and there was no signature on it.It's light in the hand, and it doesn't look like it's loaded with any dangerous items.

Who will send me a letter at this time?

Could it be a threatening letter warning me to stay away from Zhang Qiling?

I thought nonsensically, and turned the envelope over.The place where the mouth was closed on the back was sealed with special red mud, which seemed like a way to prevent others from opening the letter privately.I opened the beaded curtain and went to Qi Yu's small incense hall in the backyard, opened the envelope, and shook out a small piece of paper about two fingers wide.

However, the moment I saw the piece of paper, I was completely stunned with a bang in my head.

——That was part of the page I tore for Zhang Qiling in Yunding Tiangong.

There are only four simple words written on it.

Xisha, help me.

The author has something to say:

☆, 38, going

38. Make a trip

I recognize Zhang Qiling's notes, and I even recognize the tear marks on the paper in my notepad.

But this note appeared completely illogical—if Zhang Qiling also appeared here after entering the Bronze Gate, then who was the person who followed Wu Xie and the others to the ghost town of Tamutuo Snake Marsh?

What's more, if he went back 20 years ago like me, why didn't he show up, but sent this letter in this way, what would he want to do?

Because this letter was delivered to me through Qi Yu's buddy, so when Qi Yu came back that night, I took out the letter and talked about it.

"I suddenly received a letter in the afternoon. The content is a bit interesting. You can read it."

What I handed over was naturally another "threat letter" that had been processed. After reading it, Qi Yu's face was a little cloudy, but when he looked at me again, his tone changed, "Trust me, you won't something happened."

The team that will go to Xisha this time has three forces in the impression.

Wu Sansheng from Jude Kao.

Victims imprisoned in sanatoriums from the archaeological team itself.

Also, Qi Yu who seems to be from "it".

The story I told Boss Qi before was just to tell him what happened afterwards—he may have followed Wu and Xie in order to complete the mission, and successfully learned their "purpose" and trapped one of them to death in the into the tomb.But his ending is not as perfect as he thought.His face was also among the test subjects in the Golmud Sanatorium.

Everyone who is a pawn will not be happy to see himself become an abandoned pawn, so I am betting on Qi Yu's psychology.Under the pressure of "it", under the foreshadowing of this story, under the clues he has been searching for these days, will he have the idea of ​​​​rebellion, will he ask for something for himself? There is a way out.

And today he said "trust me", I feel a little relieved - he has at least made a preliminary plan, if he is not sure, he will rarely make such a promise.

Sure enough, a few days later, Wenjin formally proposed to carry out archaeological work on the Kaixisha shipwreck.

At that time, most of the members of the institute had already confirmed that those who were about to graduate, such as Li Sidi, Xie Lianhuan, and Qi Yu, had gradually become the main force of the institute in the future. This time, Xisha Archeology was naturally going to go.

Younger people like Huo Ling and Zhang Qiling were also favored by Wenjin because of their own archaeological talents.

What I have to admit is that although Huo Ling has a somewhat squeamish personality, he has not fallen into the name of the Huo family.She has a natural intuition, and many times she can find the key to the problem at a glance. Many details seen through her eyes once became the key to deciphering some things.

When the last travel quota was finalized, Wen Jin hesitated a little.At that time, there were not many people with field archaeological experience in the institute, let alone maritime archaeology.She is more inclined to let people from society with certain knowledge join the team going to Xisha, such as me.

But the organization seems to have some objections to my trip. The archaeological team managed by Wenjin is largely to train future graduates of the University of Archeology. This trip to Xisha looks more like a trip without discovering the underground palace. Field exercises.I was not within the training scope of the organization, so I was naturally excluded from the list.

In the end, I don’t know who among them was the mobilizer. One week before the trip, the Xisha travel list was finalized, and my name was included.

At that time, Qi Yu had already handled the business in the shop, and went to the research institute to report on time every day. When he heard the news, he smiled and said congratulations, and I also smiled and nodded as a response.It's just that I always faintly feel that someone is looking at me, and I turned my head, just in time to collide with Zhang Qiling's projected gaze.

At first, I also doubted whether the note that was delivered that day was handed over by someone he entrusted.

But after this period of testing, I can clearly feel that he is not the person he will be 20 years later.

It's not other conclusive evidence, it's just because he doesn't seem to be prepared for the next trip to Xisha.

In such an atmosphere, the Xisha archaeological team finally went out.

Apart from the ten people in the original establishment, there was another figure in the team—Wu Sansheng.

He is more perverse than the third uncle 20 years later, but, on the one hand, he has more practical experience than most of the students present, and can assume the responsibility of the backbone on some issues; He has an unruly side, but he can quickly integrate into the group and get along with other people. Compared with me who is silent or Zhang Qiling who is indifferent, Wu Sansheng's citing scriptures and classics quickly conquered all members of the archaeological team. Help young people.

Along the way, I kept guessing about the note that was delivered that afternoon, but I always had a faint feeling that things didn't seem to be what I thought.

I speculate that the reason why I came to 20 years ago after entering the Bronze Gate is because of my physique——I am not a normal human being, so this situation happened.But Zhang Qiling is a real person with flesh and blood, he should be like Wen Jin or Huo Ling five to ten years later, seeing the so-called "ultimate", how could it be possible to go back to this era.

But then I thought, Zhang Qiling's ageless physique might not be considered a normal person, and Wu Xie's ageless face from Zhang Dafoye's generation is quite evil...

In this way, several shifts of green leather cars and cars, the dusty archaeological team finally arrived at the military control zone near Xisha.Because the archaeological team has documents issued by the organization, there is not much hindrance to the passage.

Wen Jin chartered a local fisherman's boat, stopped and walked on the sea like this, drove for about two days, and finally came to the destination near Wanjiao, West Jiao.

Wusan Provincial Road is a necessary place on the ancient Maritime Silk Road. Because there are too many hidden reefs, there are also many shipwrecks.Everyone settled down on the spot, stayed on the fishing boat like this, and went into the water to salvage cultural relics in batches, starting the first stage of archeology of the Xisha shipwreck.

Compared with staying on the boat and waiting to deal with the cultural relics discovered by others, more people in the archaeological team still prefer to go into the water by themselves to find some discoveries that are enough to make themselves or their families famous.

Therefore, when arranging the launch batch, I took the initiative to apply to stay on the ship.

It’s not because of any fearless thinking, it’s just because the diving equipment at that time was still public. If other people found out that I didn’t even lose any oxygen in the oxygen tank after I went into the water, maybe this group of enthusiastic people would be shocked. How frightened the child is.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Qiling also offered to give up the qualification to enter the water to other people.When I heard his statement, my heart skipped a beat, but I didn't dare to look at him. I just helped Huo Ling and Wen Jin to re-check the diving equipment to prevent accidents in the water for those who were going down next.

The first two days of salvage work were fruitful.

Large quantities of porcelain were fished up from the water in batches.

Although most of them were covered with sea creatures to a certain extent, it was as difficult as heaven to clean them up, but everyone in the archaeological team was radiant because of this discovery, and they were more powerful in their work.

Because the quota for launching has been determined, Zhang Qiling and I will be responsible for cleaning up, numbering, and drawing in the later stage. The two belong to a shift system, and one is on duty and the other is resting, so we get along without any problems.

That day was also in the evening, and the members of the archaeological team in charge of launching actually discovered two complete long-necked porcelain bottles from the water.For those of us who have been able to find only fragments for many days, this is undoubtedly a heart-pumping shot in our hearts.

I was in a good mood looking at the old porcelain vase, which was obviously eroded by sea rust, and shared a delicious grouper with them (although I couldn't taste any taste at all). After the dinner, everyone still gathered on the plywood to brag and drink, I went to the ship's side to wash my hands, dried them with a dry towel, walked into the specially opened studio in the cabin, and saw that the light had been turned on at some point, and Zhang Qiling had already stayed in it, concentrating on talking to each other. The two salvaged long-necked porcelain vases were cleaned up.

I thought about it, but still didn't disturb him.Anyway, in his old monk's trance state, even if you deliberately take off your clothes and go up to seduce him, it won't have any effect.

I put the camera in my hand on the table at will. I knew he would not have the habit of flipping through other people’s personal belongings at random. Instead, I went to the darkroom built on the side to check the photos I developed in it a few days ago. Who knows, just now He took out the dried photos from the darkroom, lifted the curtain, and saw that Zhang Qiling in front of the workbench had completely disappeared.

... It's not missing, but he is no longer sitting at the work table where the porcelain vase is, but has come to the table where I put the camera.

Cameras were not common in this day and age, so I quietly took my digital camera with me when I traveled.

The members of the archaeological team showed some enthusiasm for this strangely shaped black box at first, but after touching a few nails that were neither soft nor hard, they also realized that I was a strange person who was not easy to get along with. And put more attention on the following archaeological activities and the socialite Huo Ling in the archaeological team.

There are two cameras on the table, one is the public property of the archaeological team, and the other is held by Zhang Qiling.

My heart hung in my throat for an instant, thinking that he wouldn't know how to use this thing, would he?Before he could make a sound, Zhang Qiling raised his eyes and saw me, and said, "You came out."

"..."

This sentence obviously seemed to have been waiting for me, and I walked up quickly.Zhang Qiling handed the camera to me without hesitation.

I took a look, the power has been turned on, and switched to the image reading mode.What was displayed on it was a group photo, with no face visible, it should have been taken before I entered the bronze gate in Yunding Tiangong.

I have such a habit of taking pictures, leaving a half-length photo at a certain place.In that photo, I can clearly see my hiking shoes, the narrow gap in the rock wall of Yunding Tiangong, half of an ancient black gold knife, and... half of Zhang Qiling's hanging hand, a silhouette.

At this moment, Zhang Qiling from 20 years ago put the camera in front of me, then pointed to the man hidden in the darkness in the camera with his strangely long finger, and asked calmly, "Tell me, is this who."

The author has something to say:

☆, 39, the second note

39. The second note

I was momentarily speechless by his question, and the camera went back to darkness because it had not been operated for a long time.The cabin seems to be insulated from the
