No. 7 coffin shop

Due to safety reasons, Shen Ze and Tong Qi did not go to the quarry in the end, but came to a place similar to a warehouse.

The warehouse is located in the basement, which is a "dark field". The material of the gambling stones selected here is better than that of the stone gambling field, and there is no need to bid at all.

Shen Ze didn't have much research on stone betting, so this trip to Tengchong was all a joke.Under the leadership of the proprietress, I turned east and west to look around, and threw the stones that felt a little into the cart behind.

There was naturally Tong Qi where Shen Ze appeared, but Tong Qi did not choose with Shen Ze, but walked around frowning by himself.

This basement has a strange smell...

Tong Qi couldn't say what kind of smell it was, but the earthy smell exuded after a long time of immersion was certain.

Looking for the smell that ordinary people can't smell, Tong Qi stayed in a remote corner slowly.

Stones of different sizes and sizes were piled up in this corner, and many of them had good texture and color, but Tong Qi's eyes were all focused on a stone that was as big as a boy's fist.

The pitch-black stone looked inconspicuous in a pile of gambling stones.Taking its size as an example, even if such a small piece of stone can get a good product, it is still a small piece. It is difficult to make a bracelet, and naturally it is not worth a lot of money.

Tong Qi bowed and picked up the stone, just as Shen Ze and the proprietress came from another place.

The proprietress glanced at the stone in Tong Qi's hand and said with a smile: "Mr. Tong, don't look at it anymore? I don't think there will be anything good out of that stone."

Tong Qidan smiled and said: "It's okay, whether you can get something out or not is secondary, the main thing is that the stone grows well."

The proprietress is also a good person. After hearing Tong Qi's words, she hurriedly said: "Since Mr. Tong likes it, then I will give this worthless thing to him. It is my small favor."

Before Tong Qi could speak, Shen Ze went crazy and said, "Yu Niangguang has feelings for him but not me..."

Yu Niang rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "Where is it, Young Master Shen, all the stones that Young Master Shen took today are [-]% off, how about it? Is this enough?"

Shen Ze laughed loudly, "Then I have to take more, so as not to disappoint Yuniang."

at night

Tong Qi was playing with the black stone, lost in thought.

When Shen Ze came out of the shower, he saw Tong Qi staring at the dark stone in a daze, wondering what he was thinking.

Shen Ze pursed his lips, walked over lightly and grabbed the stone in Tong Qi's hand, and then dropped the stone with a strange cry.

Seeing Shen Ze's reaction, Tong Qi immediately came back to his senses, worried: "What's wrong?"

Shen Ze sucked his tongue and shook his hands, "Can you hold such an icy thing?"

"Ice?" Tong Qi frowned, picked up the stone Shen Ze threw on the table, "Ice?"

Shen Ze was surprised: "It's very cold, can't you feel it?"

Tong Qi spread the stone on his palm and said, "Touch it again and see how it feels."

"You don't give me any favors, why should I touch this strange stone..." Although Shen Dashao said so, his hand still moved towards the black stone.

Shen Ze first touched it lightly, then touched it again, and finally took the whole stone in his hand and flipped through it repeatedly, "It's not right! I just touched it and it was ice!"

The stone was still the same stone, but Shen Ze's feeling was completely different.

Tong Qi took back the stone, frowned and said, "What kind of ice is it?"

Shen Ze scratched his head and tried to remember, "It's ice... I touched it and it was as if the ice was to the bone."

Tong Qi hesitated for a moment, then threw the stone on the table, turned and walked to the bathroom, "Forget it, leave it alone."

Shen Ze followed behind Tong Qi and said with a laugh: "That's right! It's better to touch me than to touch it."

Tong Qi's footsteps stopped at the door of the bathroom, and Shen Ze who was following him almost bumped his nose, complaining: "What are you doing..."

Tong Qi turned around and said coldly: "Since you finished taking a shower, should you go back?"

Shen Ze sadly remembered that the reason he came to Tongqi's room just now was that the rain shower in his own room was broken...

What's the difference between one person and one room at home, or one person and one room?

After Young Master Shen was kicked out of Tong Qi's room, his head was full of indignation.

In the end...why?

After Shen Ze left, Tong Qi didn't go into the bathroom immediately, but glanced at the stone that was casually thrown on the table.

If he guessed correctly, what Shen Ze felt wasn't the feeling of ice, it should be the coldness he felt the moment his hand touched the stone.

But why doesn't that stone release cold air when it meets itself?

Tong Qi sighed and walked into the bathroom.While walking, he thought that there must be troubles where there is Shen Ze.Even if the stone was picked up by Tong Boss himself, Young Master Shen still has to take the blame.

In the empty bedroom, the black stone suddenly emitted a metallic light.The light shrouded the entire stone, and the stone kept shaking, as if something wanted to come out.

Shen Ze took a deep breath and sighed, "The environment is really good."

Tong Qi agreed: "There is less development here, and the environment is naturally good."

Professor Li of the archaeological team said with a smile: "Many places in Yunnan don't even have electricity. Although life is inconvenient, living here is indeed a kind of enjoyment."

Shen Ze said that sponsoring an archaeological team is not a joke. Although the scale of this archaeological team is relatively small, he is indeed an archaeological team.

Li Jianguo is a professor in the Department of Archeology of Western University. He is the leader of the team this time, and the rest are graduate students from the Department of Archeology.

Although the school does have activity funds, is that enough for the bus fare?If you want to carry out field work, it is absolutely impossible not to ask for sponsorship.

Shen Ze sponsored such an archaeological team.

It is true that a new stockade has been discovered, it is false that it is isolated from the world, and it is true that there are a large number of hanging coffins around the stockade.

Hanging coffins belong to cliff burials. In fact, this kind of burial is very common in places like Yunnan where a large number of ethnic minorities are distributed, and there is nothing unusual about it.

But for students who live in the city all year round, this hanging coffin is a rarity.

"Teacher, how long will it take for us to arrive?" It was a boy with black-rimmed eyes who asked.

Professor Li pushed his glasses, and the white-haired old man looked at his students kindly, "It's about half an hour—we're going to visit the village first, and you must be polite later."

The black-framed boy curled his lips and said, "I see..."

The only girl in the team didn't know what to think, and said, "Teacher, can the people here play tricks?"

Before Professor Li could answer, the black-framed boy said, "How can there be such a thing? You read too many novels."

In fact, Shen Ze is the youngest among this group of people, but he is tall and tall, and he has been in the society for many years, so he still has a sense of maturity in terms of appearance.

Shen Ze blinked mysteriously, and said: "Who said there is no? Not only that, there used to be a lot of trouble in Xiangxi, and everyone talked about Gu and changed color."

The girl opened her eyes wide and said, "Ah, it's true, so shouldn't we just touch the things of the people in the village?"

Just as Shen Ze was about to answer, he heard the black-framed boy disdainfully say: "Hmph, it's just a rumor, I'm extremely ignorant, have you ever seen it?"

Although Shen Ze was magnanimous, there were not many people who blatantly contradicted Shen Ze like this. The expression on Shen Ze's face didn't change much, but he felt a little unhappy in his heart.

"Why haven't I seen it? I've been to a very old place..." Before Shen Ze could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a black-framed boy, "Isn't it just some money? It's still a very old place!"

The atmosphere froze all of a sudden, not to mention Shen Ze, even Qi frowned.

Professor Li saw that the atmosphere was not right, and hurried to round up the situation, "Xiao Chen, there is indeed such a Gu."

When the black-framed boy saw his professor speak, he didn't say anything, although he was reluctant to show it.

Tong Qi looked at Shen Ze's expression, sighed and secretly pulled him to his side.

The few remaining students also pulled the black frame into the team, and the archaeological team changed from one group to two groups.

No one spoke along the way, but luckily we arrived at the village soon, Professor Li said with relief, "Students, we have finally arrived at our destination!"

Several students cheered for a while, and there was no road when they were still a distance away from the village. They could only get off the donkey cart and walk for a long time. Finally, they arrived.

Turning around the foot of the mountain, a place like a fairyland on earth appeared in front of everyone.The mountain just after rain was shrouded in a thin layer of mist, and the tall feet seemed indistinct in the mist.A clear stream is in front of the stockade, and behind the stockade is a green forest.

How could people in the city have seen this kind of scenery, they all stood dumbfounded and couldn't bear to go forward.Even Professor Li, who often does field work, was stunned. The undeveloped cottage always has a simple beauty.

When they arrived at the village, Shen Ze and Tong Qi were the calmest. Shen Ze gained immunity because he traveled to many places.And the scenery that Tong Qi enjoys is not only in the human world, so naturally he doesn't care.

"Cough," Professor Li cleared his throat, "Students, we are now in the west of Yunnan. I said a while ago that the newly discovered village is the one in front of us. After investigation, this village is not newly discovered, but Residents here do rarely go out because of the impassable roads.”

"The ethnic group we are going to contact is a branch of the Pumi people. The Pumi people mainly live in Northwest Yunnan, and they have their own language. However, the Pumi language belongs to the Qiang branch of the Tibeto-Burman language family of the Sino-Tibetan language family. There are no classmates who can speak Tibetan, maybe you can have a few conversations."

Professor Li's words made many people laugh, and the atmosphere of the archaeological team became active again.
