Chapter 63(1/2)
"Wow...wow..." The crow's rough and hoarse voice sounded in the open place.
The group slowly appeared in this desolate place, and the crows were particularly annoying. One of them was particularly unhappy, leaned over and picked up a stone on the ground and smashed it towards the crow on the branch.
After a slight sound, several crows on the branches flew away with their wings, and the branches swayed slightly.
"This crow is so annoying. I scream so badly all day long. I'm in a bad mood." The man who threw the stone spitted on the ground irritably and complained.
"Forget it, just a few crows, why are you so competitive? Lao Wu said you are just too impatient. When can you be a little patient?" An older old man next to him glanced at Lao Wu who had just spoken and said lightly.
There were only seven people in their group in total, and there were five other people besides Lao Wu and the old man who were just talking.
The fifth brother has a bad temper and is very angry, and has a good personality. He has a tall and powerful job. He usually has any strength among them.
The old man is called Mr. Yang. His gray hair on his head makes him look younger. Mr. Yang is the oldest and most experienced among a group of people. He has been in this industry for decades and has seen many people with big scenes.
There are also twins, Dajiang and Xiaojiang. They are in their early twenties, and they are the latest ones among the group. They are not experienced and need more education from their predecessors. They are calm and do not like to talk much. They have always practiced to speak less and read more among the group.
There is also Lao Li. Lao Li was originally working in this business alone in a remote mountain village. Later, he joined after meeting these people. It is always much better to work in this business than to be alone. If one person goes in and out of that kind of place, no one knows if he dies. It is better to work with them, at least he has a greater chance of working more people.
The most eye-catching thing among them was the young man who wore glasses but never made a sound. He was wearing a Zhongshan suit and a pair of silver-framed glasses on his nose. He looked like he was knowledgeable. In fact, this is indeed the case. The man was named Huang Zhi, 28 years old this year. He was a college student from a higher education institution. He studied archaeology during his college years. He was a think tank among the group, and everyone was accustomed to listening to his opinions.
Unexpectedly, the leader of this group was a thin man. Everyone else called him the boss. No one knew what his name was. He looked very ordinary, but his eyes were impressive, and being stared at him made people creepy.
This time they came here and were interested in what had flowed out of their hearts last time. Whether it was objects or the years, they were very moved. But it was a bit regretful that the things they flowed out last time were taken away by the police station, otherwise they could still study them carefully.
They also came here last time, but the evil ones didn't find a place. This time they finally got the news and rushed over immediately.
"Boss, where is this place? Let's look around. We have to hurry up. I heard that the old men in archaeology are coming here again. If we slow down, we will have nothing. At that time, we will watch the good things be taken away by the old men. I will be frustrated to death." Lao Wu grabbed his hair irritably and said.
"Oh, don't be anxious, don't be anxious, as the saying goes, I can't eat hot tofu in my heart, scholar, do you think so?" Old Yang smiled and looked at Huang Zhi.
Huang Zhi didn't answer, and glanced at him.
It was already evening now and the sun was about to set.
It is unsafe for their industry to enter at night. It is cold at night and it is easy to encounter some unclean things.
The boss saw through Huang Zhi's thoughts at a glance, and arranged for others to rest first and make plans when the sun rises tomorrow.
On the other side, Yu Shengli and his men were on the way. They were still far from their destination. Even if they rushed over at the fastest speed, they had to wait until the morning after tomorrow.
Two days later, when Yu Shengli and his friends arrived at the place, the tomb had been opened. Yu Shengli's face darkened and immediately took the people in.
Everything inside belongs to the country, so those criminals cannot be taken away.
Beijing City
The special part received news that Yu Shengli and his group disappeared, and according to the investigation, the group of tomb robbers who had entered before Yu Shengli and others also disappeared.
After receiving the case, Wu Yu immediately took the information and headed towards the captain's office.
The captain of the special department is a man in his early thirties, who is fair and handsome. If he walks alone on the street, no one will think that he is the boss in charge of a department, because he gives people the feeling of being a gentleman as gentle as jade.
Fu Wen is the target of a special department and is also the head of the Fu family. The Fu family has a great status in Beijing, so it is conceivable that Fu Wen's worth is not bad.
After listening to Wu Yu's report, Fu Wen was silent for a while, and then suddenly came and asked: "The little girl you mentioned last time...you will have a contact tomorrow. If the other party wants to, let her participate in this mission."
"Huh?" Wu Yu didn't understand what Fu Wen meant and asked, "Is it going to recruit people into our department?"
"No, this is not needed for the time being. Just ask her if she wants to let her participate in this mission. As for joining the department, it depends on her opinion. We can't force others to do so."
"Will it be inappropriate for people who are not from departments to participate in the task?" Wu Yu said.
"No, I'll carry anything." Fu Wen touched his chin, his eyes flashed slightly, and he said, "Intuition tells me that this time may be very interesting."
Wu Yu has never guessed what Fu Wen thinks, but he will do whatever the captain says. Anyway, the captain will not make any mistakes every time.
The next day, Tang Mian saw Wu Yu after class.
Wu Yu came over alone. After seeing Tang Mian, he stepped towards her, looked at Tang Mian for a few glances, and said, "Hello, I am Wu Yu. I met last time. I wonder how many words Fang Buwei said?"
Tang Mian's eyes fell on Wu Yu, and she was silent for a moment before speaking: "Speak a different place."
Tang Mian followed Wu Yu and left the University of Beijing. He came to a restaurant near the school. After entering the private room, he ordered dishes. In Wu Yu's opinion, he disturbed Tang Mian's lunch break, and it was also worth it to compensate her for a meal.
After the waiter went out, only Tang Mian and Wu Yu were left in the box. Tang Mian put his hands on his knees and looked up at the man opposite.
Wu Yu noticed Tang Mian's gaze, cleared his throat and opened the right way, "Student Tang, we met last time. Today, there is something I want to ask you for your opinion. You must have guessed my profession. Our department is carrying out a special task. We received the task two days ago, and our captain asked me to ask you if you are interested in participating in this task? Of course, if Student Tang is unwilling, we can refuse, and we will not force others to do so."
After hearing that Wu Yu said so much, Tang Mian thought for a moment.
Why did the other party look for her? Before coming over, the other party should have turned her information into the sky. Otherwise, how could the other party come rashly to invite her to participate in the mission together?
However, Tang Mian was not very willing to invite Wu Yu. After all, she was a student and her studies were also very important to her. Therefore, Tang Mian refused to participate in such a task.
"Sorry, it may not be convenient for me." Tang Mian refused.
He was not surprised to hear Tang Mian rejecting Wu Yu. Before coming, he guessed that Tang Mian might not agree, but thinking of what Fu Wen explained, Wu Yu spoke again: "This mission is related to Professor Yu Shengli from your Archaeology Department. Maybe Student Tang can consider it again?"
When Tang Mian heard that it was related to Yu Shengli, she suddenly thought of the cemetery that would disappear that Professor Yu Shengli mentioned last time.
"It has something to do with that tomb?" Tang Mian stared at Wu Yu's face and asked.
Wu Yu was surprised when he heard Tang Mian’s question, and then answered: “Yes, Professor Yu Shengli did not come out after entering the cemetery. Even that tomb disappeared. This time our mission is this tomb.”
As for the content of the task, Wu Yu did not disclose in detail. After all, Tang Mian is not a member of their department. What he said before is the maximum possible disclosure of Wu Yu.
Tang Mian was silent for a moment, and when she raised her head again, she agreed to Wu Yu's invitation.
Tang Mian agreed to participate in the mission not only because she was interested in the disappeared tomb, but also because of Professor Yu Shengli.
From Hu Yitong's mouth, Tang Mian learned about Yu Shengli's life. Yu Shengli never married her in her life and spent all her time and energy on archaeology. Such an old man is worthy of admiration. What's more, Hu Yitong is very concerned about the matter of Shengli. If he knew that Yu Shengli was missing, he would definitely be worried.
After lunch, Wu Yu took Tang Mian back to school. Before leaving, he told Tang Mian that the departure time of the mission was this evening, and Wu Yu would help arrange it for the school.
After Wu Yu left, Tang Mian returned to school and told Hu Yitong about taking leave. As for why he took leave, Tang Mian didn't mention it at all.
After talking to Hu Yitong about taking leave, Tang Mian also talked to Jiang Yan for a while before going home. Since she was going to go out, she naturally needed to pack up her things.
When Tang Mian returned home, Jiang Xiufen happened to be at home. When she saw her daughter suddenly coming back, she felt strange.
"Mianmian, why are you back at this time? Has something happened?" Jiang Xiufen asked.
"Mom, it's okay. I'll come back to pack up my things. I'm going to go out these days. I'll ask for leave from the school. If you and my father have anything to do, you can go to Jiang Yan. I told Jiang Yan to ask her to help take care of her." Before Tang Mian finished speaking, she saw Jiang Xiufen's worried face. Tang Mian smiled and comforted: "Mom, don't worry, it's really okay. I'll go out with my friends for a few days and will be back soon."
Tang Mian was also unsure of the unknown, but even so, she could not tell the truth to Jiang Xiufen and let me worry about her.
Jiang Xiufen didn't believe Tang Mian's words. For some reason, Jiang Xiufen felt her eyelids twitching and she felt uneasy.
"Mianmian, why do I feel uneasy when you want to go out? Why don't you go?" Jiang Xiufen said.
When I went to run, I knew that Tang Mian would not change her mind, but Jiang Xiufen still said this because she always felt uneasy when she heard her daughter going out.
"Mom, don't worry, it's really okay." Tang Mian stretched out her hand and put her arms around Jiang Xiufen's shoulder and comforted her for a few words.
Everything is unknown. Tang Mian cannot guarantee that she will come back safely, but even if she knows the danger, Tang Mian cannot ignore this matter.
Tang Mian's starting point was not just for Wu Yu's mission, but more because there were nearly thirty lives in the tomb.
Tang Mian is not a saint, and is not so great and self-sacrificing. It is said that Tang Mian also has a selfish side, but Tang Mian has a bottom line in selfishness. If this trip can be found, it is the best to find those people. If not, then Tang Mian can only try to protect herself.
evening
Wu Yu came over to pick Tang Mian away.
Sitting in the car, Tang Mian did not ask Wu Yu why she knew where her family lived. This question was too stupid. Since Wu Yu investigated her, all the information about her would not be leaked. Just like Wu Yu mentioned Yu Shengli before, but only knew that Tang Mian had contact with Yu Shengli. The reason why he mentioned Yu Shengli was just to increase the bargaining chips to make Tang Mian agree to participate in the mission.
In addition to Wu Yu, there was Liu Yao, whom Tang Mian met last time, and there were two other men in the car, Tang Mian didn't know him.
The two of them were obviously curious about Tang Mian who joined the street, and their eyes looked at Tang Mian from time to time.
Wu Yu was sitting in the passenger seat, and the atmosphere in the car was a little awkward. Wu Yu cleared his throat and said, "Hehe, that's the one, I'll introduce you to you. This one is Tang Mian, who is relatively young, so everyone should take care of you. Tang Mian, I won't introduce myself. You know each other, and you know each other, and I'll talk about this mission."
The other few people sat upright when they heard Wu Yu say something serious, and looked at Wu Yu.
Wu Yu continued to speak with the eyes of others: "Everyone knows the tomb this mission. Let me introduce the situation carefully. In June of the first half of the year, a tomb robber had entered and stole some things from it, but the group of tomb robbers disappeared as soon as they came out, and there was no one found. As for the objects that were leaked, they were all recovered."
"Then in September, Professor Yu Shengli took the archaeological team to go there, but no tomb was found after the passage. In fact, there were several groups of tomb robbers who passed by September, but no one saw the tomb."
"The latest news is that two weeks ago, the tomb appeared again. The first one to know the news was a group of professional tomb robbers. This group of tomb robbers is very frequent and has rich experience. Tomb robbers have never failed, but this time they entered the tomb and did not come out."
"The archaeological team led by Professor Yu Shengli did not come out after they entered. Three days later, the tomb and the people in the tomb were all missing."
"Our mission this time is to find members of the archaeological team and try to crack the weirdness of this tomb."
Wu Yu said a lot and felt a little dry mouth. He looked up at the others and met a few pairs of blank gazes.
Yes, the other four were confused and could not touch the routine of this tomb.
This tomb appears when it appears, and disappears when it disappears. It's so terrible.
Finally, Liu Yao spoke: "Brother Wu, we only have five of us. The task makes me feel a bit stressful!"
"Only with pressure can you be motivated." Wu Yu smiled and replied.
"No, Angkor, this is a weird thing. We may not necessarily see the tomb when we get to the place. If we can't see the tomb in the past, wouldn't it be a waste of time?" Chen Jun asked.
"Look for a look at the situation, maybe you will encounter it by chance?" Wu Yu said.
Tang Mian listened to the words of several people, with a faint smile on her face and said nothing.
I am quite looking forward to this trip to Tang Mian, maybe I'm really lucky to meet her.
After dinner, Jiang Xiufen's eyelids kept twitching. The old saying goes, "The left eye twitches and the right eye twitches and the right eye twitches are twitching. Jiang Xiufen's right eyelids kept twitching and making her feel very uneasy."
