"Okay, Uncle Ye, let's wash our hands first. You see, both of us are covered in ashes."
When Wang Ke said this and pointed at the two people, he also meant to change the topic. At this time, except for Professor Wen, everyone was covered in ashes.
Professor Ye Rongguang said nothing and watched Wang Ke take off his coat and put it on the table outside. Then he went to the room to get a washbasin, filled a basin of water, and brought it over.
"Uncle Ye, please wash up first."
Professor Ye Rongguang said nothing and stepped forward to start washing. Wang Ke quickly ran back to the room and brought soap and towels. This was bought by Wang Ke at the Interference Group Service Club last time.
After Professor Ye Rongguang finished washing, Wang Ke went to get a basin of water and asked Professor Wen to wash. After all the busy work, there is still no way to escape. At this time, Wang Ke rolled his eyes one thousand and eight hundred times. He was firmly pushed against the corner. He would never be able to pass this test unless he said something.
what to do? Are you talking about the snake stone or the big ram?
He can still explain the first thing clearly, but he can't explain the second thing clearly at all, because Wang Ke still doesn't know what the reason is? Where did I offend that big ram?
Since I haven't come up with a good solution, I can only start with the white-browed viper and start with practical methods.
After the two professors finished washing, they leaned on the kang table, one on each side, exactly like a three-in-one trial.
Wang Ke didn't say much, walked aside, took his military uniform and put it on, took out the small pocket from the right breast pocket of his coat again, and dumped all the contents on the small kang table.
If you have really seen the hard work of those strong people, you will definitely understand that the reason why those people can reach heights that others cannot reach is because they have endured many hardships that others cannot.
There is never any luck in this world, only unknown efforts.
"What's this mess?" Professor Ye Rongguang was a little disappointed. What came out of the bag on the kang table were the two so-called snake stones, plus the Yaoji Mahjong tile. I've seen these before.
"Uncle Ye, Godfather Wen, would you like to take a look at these snake stones again?" Wang Ke naturally has his own reasons for calling them in this order. Ye Rongguang is Qianqian's father, and Professor Wen is his godfather, who is respectful at first and then arrogant.
"Snake stones" are no strangers to the two professors. In Nanshao Village, in Dong's small factory, they not only saw red stones with a strong fishy smell, but Professor Ye Rongguang also checked whether they had any biological properties. The two of them also witnessed that the snake stone that Wang Ke had dipped in his saliva turned into a blue cat's eye-shaped stone with a blue light in the middle.
When they first arrived at Longquanzhuang, Wang Ke and Gu Maolin told them about the snake stone taken from the eagle's beak.
"Uncle Ye, Godfather Wen, could my sensitivity to snakes be due to them?" Wang Ke now made up his mind to tell the truth and ask the right questions. What is scientifically unexplainable may be deciphered from a physiological point of view in front of two experts.
"What do you mean? Do you think these things attracted the white-browed adder?" The things on the kang table could no longer attract Professor Ye Rongguang's attention. If you want to attract a snake, you should attract a golden cobra, just like what happened in Nanshao Village. Attracted cockscomb snakes.
Ye Rongguang asked absentmindedly, but his eyes were fixed on the mahjong tiles.
"Well, Uncle Ye, I can't tell if they caused it, but whenever I am in danger, they will beat slightly."
"beat?"
Wang Ke's words were already mentioned last time. Although they are unheard of, they are not new. Now that the old conversation was brought up again, the two professors responded casually.
"Yes, beating! Others can't feel it, but I can." Wang Ke said firmly.
"Oh, can you feel it?" Professor Ye Rongguang asked again. He remembered that Gu Maolin once said about snake stone detoxification. Thinking about it this way, it is possible. But when encountering the same kind, will these snake stones show signs of "life"? This doesn’t make sense in theory!
Wang Ke nodded.
Then, he added, "I've had the induction several times, and it's accurate every time."
The two professors shook their heads at the same time. Maybe some people believe that this snake stone can attract snakes. Although there is no scientific basis for saying that this snake stone can detoxify, it still makes sense. There are poisonous snakes of the same kind in the place, and they can also jump on their own. No one will believe it if I tell them. It is just a big lie.
Professor Ye Rongguang is a biologist and is no stranger to zoology. He had lost his patience, so he picked up the mahjong tile from the kang table, jumped off the kang, looked at it under the light, and asked, "Why are you carrying a mahjong tile on you?"
"Nothing, just fun."
"Fun?" Ye Rongguang frowned and looked at Wang Ke. This was not what a soldier would say. Just like a girl carrying a pack of cigarettes, or an old man holding a lollipop in his mouth all day long, it does not match his identity!
"Uncle Ye, this is a remnant of the landlord's cards. I don't want it any more. It looked like an old thing to me, so I kept it."
Wang Ke's mind was spinning so fast that he still couldn't tell whether it was the snake stone or the mahjong tile that jumped every time in his pocket. Because it had been stored in the old box belonging to the landlord, Uncle Geng, he and Gu Maolin heard "rusty" crawling sounds several times.
"Old thing?" A glint flashed in Professor Wen's eyes. He wanted to see the mahjong, but Professor Ye Rongguang was holding it. I could only say to Wang Ke: "Why didn't you say that before?"
"Daddy Wen, you didn't ask me either. Look, I still have hundreds of them in the shell box." Wang Ke said, wanting to get them.
"No, Xiao Wang Ke, why do you have this mahjong tile on you?" Professor Wen reached out to stop Wang Ke. He had already noticed the weirdness of this matter.
It's best not to open it. If you open the shell box, apart from the wax pill, there are some things inside that are really not easy to show, such as the Shanghai brand watch Shi Hanlu gave her and her silver bracelet.
"Old Wen, hey, look at it." Professor Ye Rongguang finally finished reading the domino mahjong. This animal domino was unfamiliar to him and he didn't notice it for a while. Hundreds of years of time have polished it, especially Wang Ke's appearance on his body, which has been polished to a shiny finish. However, the bone pattern can still be seen as dark and greasy as it once was, so it is indeed an old item.
When Professor Wen heard this, he felt as if he had found a treasure, and he took it in a panic. "Well, let me take a look."
During my lifetime of archeology, I have studied jade, pottery, stone and bronze ware, but I have not seen many bone vessels. As soon as he got it in his hand, this small mahjong tile shocked Professor Wen. It looks rough but is very smooth. The quality is average, but the batter is good.
I saw that the mahjong bones were yellow, the tendons and veins were red, the smoothness was pleasing to the eye, and the light was silent.
The patina is also commonly known as "black paint ancient" in antiques. It is actually gloss. Here it refers to the layer of gloss on mahjong. It is a leather shell that is gradually formed over time due to layers of dust, sweat, player's hand stains and long-term rubbing. This mahjong seems to have aged at first glance, showing a faint air of old age, without any dazzling light or dry texture.
It’s definitely an old object, but what kind of bones are they? Professor Wen was also stumped. He had never seen this kind of bone before, but it was definitely not a cow bone or an ivory bone. This kind of pattern was not the pattern on ordinary animal bones.
The two old professors suddenly forgot about the snake stone, Wang Ke's sense of snakes, and why there was a white-browed adder in the landlord's house. Now they are both attracted to this mahjong tile.
"Old Ye, you are well-informed. Can you recognize what kind of animal bones these are?" Professor Wen showed unprecedented humility. What does this mahjong itself not have? But its bones are like a big question mark. If this question mark is not straightened, the two professors will show up today.
"Me? I... really don't know what kind of bone this is? Xiao Wang Ke, ask the landlord Geng, what kind of bone is this?" As a great biologist, Ye Rongguang, what kind of animal has he not seen? I've done it before, but this time I was stumped.
"Uncle Ye, you don't need to ask. This was left behind by an old military officer in the past, and it is not passed down from his family." Wang Ke is very happy now. The professor was also stumped sometimes. The key is that this mahjong tile has transferred their sight, no longer delving into his own feelings.
"Huh? Then Lao Wen, you are a famous person in the archaeological world, don't you know him?" Ye Rongguang immediately responded and killed Professor Wen.
The two professors looked at each other, then turned to look at Wang Ke, and asked at the same time: "Do you know what kind of bones it is made of?"
Wang Ke shook his head. He could only shake his head now and had no right to speak at all.
"Xiao Wang Ke, take out your mahjong set and let's take a look." Professor Wen was also extremely embarrassed, and there were things he hadn't seen before.
Wang Ke walked aside silently, squatted down and picked up the mahjong set. He blocked their view as much as possible to prevent the two professors from seeing the contents of the box.
The mahjong was taken out and fell onto the Kang table with a crash.
The mahjong in the box is much dirtier than that in Wang Ke's pocket. Due to the isolation, the greasiness on it is even greater. The mahjong tables on the Kang table are all dark and look a bit dirty.
Professor Wen and Ye Rongguang stepped forward and each reached out to grab a few.
If you don't know, you don't know. No matter how many people you catch, you still don't know.
Professor Ye Rongguang put the mahjong under his nose and smelled it again and again. Except for a slight musty smell, there was no smell like that of carnivorous animals. After Professor Wen rubbed several dominoes in succession, he placed them in his hand and compared them one by one, trying to identify what kind of bone they were from more bone patterns.
Unfortunately, not a common bone at all.
In the world, no one in the world has recognized what kind of bones this is made of, but there are not many bones that can be used for mahjong, and now they are stuck here. Isn't it a joke?
"Old Ye, maybe none of us have ever seen this kind of bones!" Professor Wen was a little discouraged and looked at Ye Rongguang.
Professor Ye Rongguang said nothing, he was deep in thought. In this world, there may be some animal bones, including new species, that he has never seen before, but there will always be genus and species to belong to, so it will not jump out of the category of genus and species, and even a biologist like him will not recognize them.
Also, Wang Ke may be an alternative. He has many adventures that ordinary people cannot have, such as picking up a snake stone, and he really has a premonition about snakes as he said. But there's one thing he hasn't explained clearly yet, and that's why he's like a dog afraid of a sheep. !
Xiao Wang Ke is not a tiger, wolf or beast, there is no reason for a dog to be afraid of a sheep. Could it be related to the domino on his body? Specifically, is it related to the mahjong tiles made from this unknown animal bone? If so, that would be interesting!
"Xiao Wang Ke, I hope you will tell the truth. Why do you only carry this domino with you?"
After wandering around for a long time, Professor Ye Rongguang finally woke up and the problem came back. He remembered Gu Maolin's vivid description, the smelly poop that the dog made after seeing Wang Ke, and the old ram with red eyes looking for him desperately...
Wang Ke had just put his mind down and picked it up again. "this……"
"Is there anything else you can't say?"
