"oops!"
Jia Tingting looked like she was going to be angry to death: "I said, what do you think? Do you have to do it when people promise it? Professor Qin is not related to them, why should they do it? Now is a time of life and death. , they are risking life and death by taking us, not to mention your attitude is so bad, who is willing to take risks for you?"
The tall nose was also shaken at this time. She said to the short-haired woman: "Yes, they are all tomb robbers and desperadoes. It is normal for their words not to count. Let's just stay alive now. Don't talk about anything else." Too much."
As she said that, the high nose bridge showed us her attitude again. Her attitude looked similar to that of the rock man. She just put on a good show on the surface, but it could be felt that she was not very sincere.
As for the short-haired girl, later on, with the joint persuasion of other members of the archaeological team, she expressed her attitude to us again, but her attitude was still much worse. Even if we asked her to pretend, she couldn't pretend to be anything like it.
Zhao Hu may have wanted to scare her, but he waved his hand and said, "Forget it, forget it, throw her into the desert alone, and others can follow us."
When the short-haired woman heard this, her expression immediately became panicked: "Why? You asked me to express my position and I did. Why did you abandon me?"
"We can leave whoever we are willing to leave behind. Why should we ask? Just to see that you are unhappy, okay?"
"You promised Professor Qin that you must take us back."
Zhao Hu smiled instantly: "Professor Qin is my father or my grandfather. Why should I listen to his words? We won't take you with us anyway."
With that said, Zhao Hu said to the others: "Drive this guy out of the ancient city. Drive her out before we agree to take you, otherwise you will die in this desert with her."
The other members of the archaeological team looked at each other. Instead of chasing away the short-haired girl, they persuaded the short-haired girl to apologize to us and beg us.
The short-haired girl was probably really afraid that we would abandon her, so she later came over to say nice things. This time her attitude became a little better, but she still didn't feel sincere.
I think, with a lady like her, it would be impossible for her to thank us from the bottom of her heart.
"Forget it." I waved my hand: "You can't just make a promise here. Let's work first and dig sand. Whoever works the hardest will be given priority to ensure that he comes back alive."
Afterwards, we generously removed the tools from the camel, and then carried out a clear division of labor.
The women went to find a suitable location and marked it, and the men came to dig the sand. Of course, the people on our side were definitely not idle either. In addition to the people who were left to guard the camel team and the scarred man, other people were also left. Busy around in the ancient city.
According to our previous plan, we quickly marked several "mansion houses" in the ancient city. Not only do these "mansion houses" cover a large area, but they are also significantly different from ordinary civilian houses in terms of structure and construction technology.
Although I learned some knowledge about ancient architecture from our family’s ancient books, my understanding was not very deep. This time, it was thanks to a few archeology students who were more professional than me and knew a lot more.
Not long after digging, the gentle man started talking to me about these ancient architectural ruins.
He said that the architectural style of this ancient city is not uniform and a bit messy. You can see curved Turkic-style buildings and some buildings from the Sui and Tang Dynasties, such as this wooden pagoda, which is a typical example. Sui Dynasty architecture.
Because I was very interested in these ancient knowledge, I pointed to the pagoda and asked him: "Is this pagoda from the Sui Dynasty? Isn't it a pavilion-style pagoda from the Tang Dynasty?"
Sven Man smiled and said: "The Tang Dynasty continued the political, economic, cultural and military systems of the Sui Dynasty, which is equivalent to further carrying forward the framework established by the Sui Dynasty. Therefore, the two dynasties themselves are relatively similar, but this tower It is made of wood and should have been built during the reign of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty."
Maybe it was because his mouth was dry, but the gentle man swallowed hard when he said this.
I took out my water glass, poured some water with the lid and handed it to him. After he said thank you, he picked up the lid and took a sip of water.
After drinking the water, he was about to continue talking when a short-haired woman not far away suddenly walked over.
"I also want to drink water." She said confidently.
I noticed at this time that her lips were a little dry and cracked.
"There isn't much water. You can't drink it until the critical moment." I refused directly.
The short-haired woman's brows frowned for a moment. She looked very unhappy: "I'm a woman. You give him water even if he's a man. Why don't you give it to me? Do you think my body is better than his? , can you resist better than him? I see that you clearly have a problem with me, so you should treat me differently!"
Before I could say anything, Sister Yuan, who was near me, pointed at her and scolded her: "What's wrong with just having a problem with you? You have to remember your current identity. It's good enough to keep you alive. Why are you so damn picky?" Four, go and get to work."
The short-haired girl looked very unconvinced, but she didn't dare to challenge me and Sister Yuan, and finally turned around and went back.
The gentle man smiled awkwardly, and then asked me if I wanted to listen. I motioned for him to continue.
"Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty twice issued an edict to build pagodas in all states and counties in a unified style, and they were all wooden pagodas with this square, flat, hollow cylinder structure. However, because of the age, the wooden pagodas were difficult to preserve, so they are not preserved now. Down the wooden tower.”
Speaking of this, the gentle man raised his head and looked at the wooden pagoda: "So, it really surprises me that this wooden pagoda can stand in the middle of the ancient city. Could it be that it has been buried by sand for so many years and only emerged recently, so it is so well preserved?" Is it intact?"
I shook my head and said, "Maybe it's not just this. There's something fishy about this wooden tower. We might see it tonight."
"Ah? It means... does it mean there are ghosts causing trouble?" The gentle man looked a little panicked.
I said it should be, so we should try our best to dig out some treasures before dark, and then prepare early for the night.
Then, I asked him: "Then why does this city have several architectural styles? Is it because the dynasties changed at that time, so the styles changed a lot?"
Si Wennan said that there are reasons for this. The main reason is that this geographical location is quite special. In ancient times, it should have been at the junction of the Eastern Turks, the Sui Dynasty, and the Western Turks. It was also an important site for communication between the East and the West. Influenced by different cultures, the races in the city are more complex, and the architectural styles are also different.
I nodded and was about to continue asking some questions when a shout suddenly came from next to me, seemingly from a woman with short hair.
I heard her yelling: "You bastard, you are shameless, get out of here!"
Then I heard sharp curses again: "Bitch, you... where the hell are you kicking... it hurts... it hurts me so much..."
I was stunned for a moment, and quickly realized what was going on, and then ran towards the place where the sound came from.
Behind a wall, Sharp Mouth was bending over and covering his crotch, his face looking extremely ugly, and a short-haired woman was standing a few meters next to him.
When she saw us coming, she immediately pointed at her sharp mouth and cursed: "Please take care of your people, you are really disgusting. She said she wanted to give me water because I was thirsty, but she called me behind the wall and wanted to touch me. , if this happened a few years ago, he would have been arrested as a gangster."
The pointed mouth raised his head and glared at the short-haired woman: "You...you want to drink my fucking water and let me touch it...Water is a life-saving thing now. Touching you will give you an advantage, so what the hell are you still doing?" If you don't like it, you'll kick my life out, and I think you'll die of thirst."
