? ”

"Impossible." Xia Mingruo turned over, and Lao Huang couldn't escape and was crushed.

"Where's the old man?"

The old man was blowing the wind at the back of the car, his heart was surging, and he rushed back to write a thousand-word letter to the party.I remembered that I studied at the top universities in China in my early years, studied under the archaeological circle Taishan Beidou, experienced the Anti-Japanese War, the Civil War, and the founding of the country, but the most vigorous and most fruitful for more than ten years, I was completely restrained, so that I was very old. , can not help but tears.

Chu Haiyang put the towel on the bald head from behind him, but was torn off: "Naughty!"

Chu Haiyang smiled and said: "What achievement? There are 19 people in the [-]th and [-]th sessions, which one is not your achievement?" The old man wiped his face vigorously, thought for a while and burst into tears.

Chu Haiyang went forward to pack up his pens and papers: "Don't think too much about it. The excavation is not yet a foregone conclusion. After all, no one has any bad intentions, right? After holding it back for so many years, I just want to do a big job and see the cultural relics."

"Who doesn't like babies!" The old man sighed, "It's because I like these babies, I would rather never see them in my life."

The old man was leaning on the bed, Xia Mingruo leaned out and opened the window wide, and the cool breeze from the North China Plain blew into the carriage.

The old man said: "Students, I remember that Comrade Zhou Yang once euphemistically said that archaeology has no class nature, and only pays attention to the word 'faith' in history and the past. Of course, they have made mistakes themselves, but here In this regard, they are wise. I think our nation will finally understand after returning from the detour, not only is archeology not class-based, any natural or human science should serve mankind instead of class struggle... Oh, I Talk about that Xiao Shi! Why haven’t you come back after you bought a meal!”

Holding the lunch box and the kettle, Shi Weidong stood in front of the boiling water stove and waited devoutly, not for the water, but for the conductor with the round face.Walk over, take a look; walk over, take another look... blushing and shy for a while, when I looked up, I was scared back a few steps by the marshal who suddenly appeared.

When Xiao Shi was pressed against the car window, he emphasized: "I didn't do anything!"

The marshal searched the body expressionlessly: "You don't even dare to measure."

After the search was over and there were no dangerous items, Xiao Shi said, "I... can I go back?"

The marshal said, "Come with me."

Xiao Shi buried his head and followed the police to the duty room, and filled in the date of birth and name very meekly. The police said: "Write them all, height, weight, place of origin, and work unit."

Xiao Shi said weakly: "I wrote it."

"Just write it down. When you do something wrong, it's easy to find." The marshal snatched the pen, squinted at Xiao Shi for a while, filled in the column of "horizontal eyebrows" in the physical characteristics column, and then closed the register and said you go Well, Xiao Shi took a peek and found that the cover of the book really had the six characters "Records of Suspicious Persons".

"Fascists, naked presumption of guilt..." Xiao Shi muttered to himself, full of anger, and then went back to the boiling water stove to peep at the conductor.

Mr. Li, on the other hand, gnawed on the cold steamed buns: "Why hasn't Xiao Shi come back yet?"

It is said to be Luoyang, but it is actually an extremely remote place in the Luoyang area.A few people got off the train, and after riding a tractor and a donkey cart for a day, they rushed to the mountain where the Sui tomb was found.There is a natural village in the col, called Jingshi Village. It is because of the scripture stone in the village that archaeologists plan to find ancient tombs here.

The old man led the students to join the archaeological team stationed in Jingshi Village.

The archaeological team consists of a dozen people, rented in the houses of the villagers.The captain was in his forties, and came up to shake hands with the old man from a distance: "Professor Li, you are here!"

The old gentleman said: "Comrade Captain, I..."

The captain said: "Hey! I don't know what you mean." He looked embarrassed: "Let's go into the room and talk, go into the room and talk. In fact..."

"What?!" The master and apprentice jumped up at the same time, "Stolen?!"

"Calm down, everyone, and listen to me," said the captain. "According to the elders in the village, Fengshui is good in this area. We investigated and found several tombs. There is a Qing Dynasty tomb three miles east of the village. I said it was stolen." This is the one, and it’s still some way away from the tomb of Prince Yuande.”

"When did you steal it?" Mr. Li asked.

"Two or three days ago, the scale of this tomb was small, 3.5 meters long and 1.8 meters wide." The captain was also a little helpless, "There is an ancient custom in the local area, and there are many people who eat tomb robbers. In some villages, almost every household is robbed." , It’s really impossible to guard against. We decided to start cleaning up this tomb tomorrow, and then excavate the tomb of Prince Yuande.”

The old man couldn't sit still: "I'll go and have a look." But when he stood up, he suddenly became dizzy and almost fell down: after all, this man is old here, and he has symptoms of heat stroke after a long journey.

Chu Haiyang helped him to settle on the bed, but the old man was worried, and urged him, "Go and see, go!" Chu Haiyang had no choice but to agree, and told Xiao Shi to take care of him, and he wanted to take Xia Mingruo with him.

Xia Mingruo said: "You go first, I'll come right away." Chu Haiyang asked: "Young master, what's the matter?"

Xia Mingruo first said that he had a bad appetite recently, so he liked to eat something sour, then he kept looking back while wriggling, and said, "O Haiyang, look how well the farmer's watermelon grows, I'm a little thirsty. , Oh, there are still grapes growing over there. Xiao Shi, you and I understand, good brother! Don’t forget, grapes, grapes!"

Two or three miles away from the village, there is a small pine forest in the wild.

The captain said: "In the forest is the tomb of the late Qing Dynasty. The owner of the tomb is said to be a village eunuch who once won Juren. These trees were planted during the burial."

The captain led them to the robbery cave: "Dig along the side of the tomb, the opening of the cave is very wide. It must be some people who farmed the land during the day and robbed the tomb at night. We only found out this morning, and we haven't had time to go down to see it."

Chu Haiyang rolled up his trousers and said, "I'll go and have a look."

He was just about to hang the satchel on the branch of the tree, but suddenly his foot stepped on a void, and the large piece of soil collapsed, unexpectedly revealing a hole.

Xia Mingruo was taken aback: "When did this happen?"

The captain obviously didn't expect this situation, he was startled, and hurried back to the village to call for help.

Chu Haiyang stepped out with a look of embarrassment: "Don't believe it, this hole has been blocked for no more than two days. Look at the pressed grass, it's still green."

Xia Mingruo said: "You're wicked, you rob people twice in three days, you're still an ex-Qing scholar after all."

Chu Haiyang frowned, squeezed the soil and rubbed it on his hands: "This is what experts do. The oval hole has relatively smooth walls, and its size can accommodate a thin person in and out. Especially the hole on the wall Tool marks, their shovels are very different from the farmers' hoes and shovels."

Xia Mingruo crouched at the entrance of the dark hole for a while, then tied a rope around his waist, handed the end of the rope to Chu Haiyang, and crawled down by himself biting the flashlight.He supported the cave wall and climbed deeper and deeper. After 10 minutes, Chu Haiyang heard him shouting from below: "Tape measure—!"

Chu Haiyang quickly threw the end of the measuring tape to him: "Is there a lack of oxygen down here?"

"I'm okay!" Xia Mingruo shouted, "It's over—12 meters! This grandson has dug three floors!"

Chu Haiyang also jumped into the hole and crawled down: "Is it so straight to the end? There is nothing below?"

"No—hey, don't come down, go up and pull me! I said this is not a deep well, is it? Isn't there often in the countryside." Xia Mingruo took a flashlight to look around, "Ouch!"

Chu Haiyang asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's turning!" Xia Mingruo shouted, "This hole is turning!"

He tried his best to scrape away the accumulated soil at the entrance of the underground hole, and after climbing a few meters, he felt out of breath, so he could only back out.

Chu Haiyang pulled him back to the ground, he lay panting for a while, and then wiped the mud on his face: "It's so strange, this hole doesn't lead to Juren's tomb at all."

At this time, the archaeological team leader also rushed to the team with his men.

Chu Haiyang asked Xia Mingruo: "Which way does the hole turn?"

Xia Mingruo pointed in a direction: "Over there."

The archaeological team leader's face turned pale.

"East..." Chu Haiyang asked, "Which direction is the tomb of Prince Yuande?"

The captain was stunned for a long time before he dared to say: "...to the east, in the vegetable field about 100 meters away."

After he finished speaking, he sat down on the ground: "No way...it's right under our noses..."

Chu Haiyang sighed and said, "There is no way to prevent it."

Xia Mingruo asked: "What's wrong?"

"Fan Tian Yin," Chu Haiyang explained, "[-]% of this hole may be a robbery hole, and the method of using this kind of curved hole to rob the tomb is called 'Fan Tian Yin,' as the saying goes, brother captain."

The captain agreed: "Hey."

"Is there charcoal around the prince's tomb?"

"Yes," the captain said dejectedly, "not only carbon deposits, but also stone deposits."

"That's why we need to overthrow the seal of heaven," Chu Haiyang explained to Xia Mingruo, "The ancients often piled charcoal around the coffin, sand, and stones. It's not easy to get in with a shovel."

"It's a pity that those who guard against thieves are never as smart as thieves. Tomb robbers often don't break through from the front, but like now, they make holes from a distance from the side. Take things away. I have never seen this kind of situation. It is said that the teacher has encountered it twice, once in Shanxi, and again in Qingong No. There is a robbery hole at the bottom of the tomb."

"I've only heard of it." The captain said in a deep voice, "The mistake we made this time is really too serious."

Chu Haiyang patted him on the shoulder: "Don't be discouraged, everyone
