Zhao Hu glanced at her and said confidently: "Why, did you shoot and kill this camel? Or did you skin it? Or did you cut the meat from the camel? Most of the fucking work It was us who did it, what’s wrong with eating some camel meat?”
Professor Qin also quickly winked at the short-haired woman and signaled her not to say too much. Afterwards, he said that it was thanks to our help today, otherwise they might not even be able to kill the camel, let alone barbecue here.
The short-haired woman snorted and said unhappily: "I just can't stand their hypocritical faces. They said they didn't care about our camel meat if they didn't want to help us. In the blink of an eye, they came here to eat meat. I think they were helping us on purpose. , just want to..."
Sister Yuan obviously didn't want to hear how hard she was, so she immediately stood up, pointed at her and cursed: "If you talk to me one more damn thing, do you believe I'll give you a few slaps in the face?"
The short-haired woman stopped talking, and Professor Qin quickly smoothed things over, saying that it should be a happy event for everyone to have barbecue together tonight, so he would not say anything that would affect the atmosphere.
We ourselves also wanted to get closer to them, so naturally we didn’t say anything more at this time.
Afterwards, we both grilled camel meat together. After it was done, we sat around the fire and ate it together. Because we didn’t have all the seasonings and we didn’t control the heat very well, and the camel meat was really not that good. It tastes pretty hard to swallow anyway.
But under such conditions of lack of water and food, there is no need to worry about so much. At least one meal can replenish a lot of physical strength.
Of course, while we were eating camel meat, we also took the initiative to find topics to chat with Professor Qin and others. Later, when the conversation became more interesting, Professor Qin told us about his archaeological career.
He said he had excavated some tombs and the like, some of which were quite famous. We were not interested in his previous archaeological work, so later I asked him about the ancient city of Muta.
Professor Qin obviously didn't think too much. He just said whatever we asked.
Anyway, after chatting, we got a lot of new information about the ancient city of Muta, which we didn't know before.
For example, there was once a city lord in the ancient wooden pagoda city who liked to collect various gilt or pure gold Buddha statues. It is said that he collected more than fifty Buddha statues in two large boxes.
When we heard this, we looked at each other, and everyone's eyes were shining.
Gilt Buddha statue?
A pure gold Buddha statue?
These things are all valuable treasures.
I originally wanted to ask more information about the location of the ancient wooden tower city, but I was afraid that if I asked too many questions, it would be too obvious, and it would be bad if Professor Qin became suspicious, so I didn't ask any more questions.
After we had finished chatting, Professor Qin suddenly asked us.
He looked at Xiaoye and asked: "By the way, you came to the desert to find missing persons, right? I remember you said you were looking for your biological father, right? But why do I feel that you are not active at all? We've been together for several days, and I haven't seen you mention anything about looking for someone."
"Ah?" Xiaoye was stunned for a moment, obviously she didn't expect Professor Qin to suddenly ask her this.
She was probably a little confused, as she hesitated and didn't know how to answer.
Naturally, I hurriedly smiled and said, "We were originally very positive, but suddenly a dark cloud and a bunch of evil things happened. Now I don't know whether I can get out alive. I don't even have to worry about finding someone."
Professor Qin nodded and sighed: "That's what you said. Just like us, we were excited about going to the ancient city of Muta before setting off, but now we are so hungry that our heads are dizzy and we don't have much thought to do research."
"By the way, why did your dad show up in this desert? What's he doing here?" At this time, the cameraman, who was usually not very talkative, looked at Xiaoye and asked.
The cameraman was wearing a pair of glasses, and through the lenses, I noticed that his eyes seemed to have an air of scrutiny.
This made my heart skip a beat:
Is this guy suspicious?
"He... he seems to be here to rob the tomb."
What I didn't expect was that Xiaoye actually told the truth.
These words not only shocked the archaeological team, but also shocked a few of us. Why does this sound like it's self-inflicted?
Jian Zui looked a little angry at that time, and he seemed to want to question Xiao Ye, but unfortunately at this juncture, he definitely couldn't say much.
"Ah? A tomb robber? Is your father a tomb robber?" Professor Qin asked in surprise.
Xiaoye replied: "I'm not very sure, anyway, that's what the person who reported it to me said. As for what he is doing here, you have to wait until you see him and ask him."
Xiaoye's answer was pretty good, with no flaws, which made me somewhat relieved.
In fact, thinking about it carefully, Xiaoye really couldn't find a suitable reason. After all, this place was an uninhabited desert. It was really hard to find an excuse for a grown man missing here.
Instead of making excuses that are full of loopholes, it would be better to just say that he is here to rob the tomb.
This is logically sound, and if Xiaoye takes the initiative to speak out, they will definitely trust her more.
"Then..." Professor Qin hesitated, the expression on his face looked a little embarrassed.
After looking at the people next to him, he said jokingly: "Then if your dad is really a tomb robber, he and we are sworn enemies. In fact, I have been fighting against all kinds of tomb robbers for the rest of my life."
Having said this, Professor Qin also rolled up his trouser legs and exposed his knees for us to see.
On his knees, there are crescent-shaped scar marks.
"Did you see this scar mark? We met a group of tomb robbers in Anhui. When we were helping the police to arrest them, one of the tomb robbers used a Luoyang shovel to stab my knee and gave me this It’s broken.”
"Ah? Luoyang shovel?" Zhao Hu pretended to be very interested at this time: "I have heard others talk about Luoyang shovel before, but I have never seen what it looks like. Professor Qin, please describe it to me. How can you poke a person and leave a semicircular mark?"
The rock man rushed to say at this time: "The Luoyang shovel is like a steel pipe split from the middle. The cross-section is a semicircle, so when it is poked..."
Before he could finish his words, Zhao Hu glared at him: "Did I ask you? What are you talking about here? Do you know much about talking? I haven't settled my damn account with you yet. Stop interrupting when I'm talking!"
The rock man looked a little annoyed, but he didn't dare to compete with Zhao Hu, so he could only hold back his breath.
The short-haired woman even vented her anger on his behalf: "There's something wrong with you. You scold someone when they help you answer your questions. It's really like a dog biting Lu Dongbin because he doesn't know a good heart."
"Is he helping me answer my question? Look at the pride and pride on his face just now. He is obviously showing off the ink in his belly in front of me. Professor Qin is here, does he need to show off?"
The short-haired woman was speechless: "You...you are really unreasonable."
Professor Qin quickly waved his hands and said with a smile: "Don't quarrel, don't quarrel. The atmosphere between us has just improved, but don't let it get tense again."
Then, he looked at Zhao Hu and explained: "This Luoyang shovel, actually..."
"Okay, Professor Qin." Zhao Hu waved his hand: "I don't really want to know. I'm a little sleepy after eating. I'll go back and rest first."
After saying these words, Zhao Hu stood up and walked towards the tent.
