That evil smile flashed past, and when I looked over again, it had disappeared without a trace. Lin Jianye was so concerned that he asked me if I had left something behind.
I scratched the back of my head and said it was nothing, told him to have a good rest and left.
After returning home, I didn't know whether to tell Lao Jiang about this, but Lao Jiang was already lying on the bed and fast asleep. His loud snoring made me want to kick him.
I really doubted whether I was Lao Jiang's apprentice. This guy has no virtue of caring for children at all. The huge bed took up most of the space, so I could only huddle in the corner.
I had no dreams all night, and when I woke up, I had breakfast.
The breakfast this time was particularly rich. In addition to steamed white buns, there was also hot broth.
After we had eaten and drank enough, we planned to hit the road. Unexpectedly, Platoon Leader Zhang actually wanted to go with us. He said that he had already consulted his superiors for instructions.
What the superiors mean is that this mission is extremely dangerous. Since they have guns, they must protect the safety of the archaeological team and also help us.
"Platoon Commander Zhang, you are too polite!" Lao Jiang's eyes were darting, thinking about whether to agree or not.
Lin Jianye refused on his behalf: "We have troubled all the soldiers for so long, and it's really too frustrating..."
Platoon leader Zhang said that it is the duty of soldiers to obey orders, and he would select half of the elite to protect our safety.
Calculated this way, we virtually have a lot more fire support!
Lin Jianye repeatedly refused, but Lao Jiang agreed: "Platoon Leader Zhang has many soldiers who have fought in many battles. Maybe they can really help us a lot."
Lao Jiang had already said this, so Lin Jianye naturally couldn't say anything more, but his brows were furrowed, as if he was worried about something.
Lao Jiang couldn't help but look at Lin Jianye: "Captain Lin, why have you become coy in the past ten years? You were very generous back then!"
Lin Jianye was stunned for a moment, then grabbed the teacup and drank water and said, "Didn't I make a big mistake and have to be careful?"
Several experts comforted Lin Jianye, saying that the original decision was made by everyone together and no one person was to blame.
Lin Jianye still sighed deeply.
Lao Jiang squinted his eyes and looked at Lin Jianye: "But your body recovered very quickly. I remember that you often caught colds back then."
Lin Jianye had no choice but to spread his hands and said that he was not forced to live in the wild and exposed to the sun and rain every day. If he was as fragile as before, he would have been buried long ago.
"Haha, why are you talking about this? Eat vegetables, eat vegetables!" Lin Jianye seemed to not want to mention the past, and asked everyone to eat more, but there was no hot food on the way.
The archaeological experts recovered well, but their hands were still wrapped in thick bandages. The military doctor said that they had used the best anti-inflammatory drugs, but the time was too short, and it would take several months to fully recover.
However, these experts did not care, saying that although their hands were injured, their eyes and brains were still there and could still be of great use.
After breakfast, Platoon Leader Zhang counted the number of people and left some people as support, while the rest all set off. Including him, there were a total of five soldiers.
We heard that the situation in Yinxu was complicated, and they even brought explosives, grenades and other weapons.
There are six archaeological team members, plus me, Lao Jiang, He Lanxue and Yin Ling'er, there are almost twenty people on this trip...
Platoon leader Zhang arranged for three trucks to be filled with oil. Before departure, Lao Jiang suddenly searched everywhere in the camp and found a large bundle of long white wax poles.
I know that this is called a tie rod in archaeology, and it is used to determine the horizontal line.
It's just that one or two sticks are usually enough, but Lao Jiang got almost fifty sticks, occupying almost half of the trunk.
The originally relaxed position suddenly became crowded. Platoon leader Zhang was quite dissatisfied and asked Lao Jiang what he was doing with these useless things.
Lao Jiang glanced at Lin Jianye and said with a smile: "They are very useful. You will naturally know when the time comes."
Lin Jianye stood by Lao Jiang without hesitation and said to Platoon Leader Zhang: "Just follow Mr. Jiang's wishes. He has more experience. It is right for us to follow him."
After everyone was seated, the group set off in great force.
We Qilinxi people and the Yinxu archaeological team rode in one car; Platoon Leader Zhang carried the white wax pole in the second car; and the remaining soldiers sat in the last car.
In the words of Platoon Leader Zhang, it is to facilitate communication among us professionals. They only protect and do not touch the secrets.
Lao Jiang asked the soldier who was driving to go all the way north, while he held a compass and a map in his hands.
The rolling wheels rolled up the sand, which blinded our eyes.
Yin Ling'er was a little curious and asked Lao Jiang if he had picked up the wrong compass. Shouldn't it be the compass?
I laughed loudly, pointed at Yin Ling'er and mocked: "Thank you for being Yin Lin, you don't even know this."
Yin Ling'er was so angry that she opened her eyes, and that look was so cute. Lao Jiang also gave me a look, but smiled and explained to Yin Ling'er that the compass was more important than the compass in archeology.
It can use the magnetic field to indicate the north of the earth, so that you will not get lost when traveling far away.
"There are specialties in the arts. Ling'er, you are good at insect arts. I didn't know that this is normal." Lao Jiang said.
Yin Ling'er said in a long tone, and then sweetly shouted thank you to Uncle Jiang.
Lao Jiang was obviously very pleased with it. He laughed so hard that his eyes were blinded, and even praised Yin Ling'er for being good.
The road was bumpy several times, and He Lanxue and Lao Jiang both reminded Yin Ling'er to be careful. This made me wonder if I have a master. Why is no one treating me well?
Or should I say, Silver Ling'er is a treasure collected by serious people, and I picked it up.
"Captain Lin, do you still remember this place?" Lao Jiang suddenly looked at Lin Jianye, seemingly reminiscing, but in fact his eyes were locked on the changes in Lin Jianye's face.
Lin Jianye replied: "How could you not remember that we dug some bronze wine vessels here before? But thanks to you, you have set aside a safe zone for us, otherwise we would definitely be killed by the Yin Xu machinery."
Along the way, Lao Jiang asked wherever the car drove. During this period, he also asked several private questions, such as in which year Lin Jianye settled in Yinxu, when did his wife give birth to her second child, and whether the second child was a chicken or a chicken. Rabbit.
I looked at Lao Jiang a little strangely, thinking since when did he care about others so much? He was so gossipy.
But then I thought about it, and it seemed that Lao Jiang was not simply asking, but was testing something.
Could it be that there is really something wrong with Lin Jianye?
But after Lao Jiang asked around, his attitude towards Lin Jianye obviously improved a lot, what was going on.
In the second half of the journey, Lao Jiang stopped talking and held up a huge map in silence. It was exactly the same as the aerial photo of Yin Ruins that I had seen in the Qilin Conference Room.
The rolling hills and regular pits form a strange Western face!
That human face was huge, its eyes were two huge black holes, and its mouth was in the shape of an ancient gate, like a huge mouth in the abyss, swallowing up all life within tens of thousands of meters in radius...
No matter how many times I saw that photo, the horror it brought me never diminished one bit.
The back was like a poisonous snake crawling up, hissing a warning. I swallowed and looked at Lao Jiang. Lao Jiang took out a marker and drew red circles on the eyes, nose and mouth of the face, and said : "I think the suspicious points are in these places, and the exit can definitely be found in one of them."
Several experts looked at each other and said that the span of these places was more than tens of thousands of meters. Is it possible that they need to be investigated one by one? This is too unrealistic.
Yin Ling'er also raised her pink lips and said that if she searched one by one, she still wouldn't know whether she would find the monkey in the year of the horse and the moon in the moon.
But I turned my attention to the strapping rods on the second car, thinking that Lao Jiang should have already thought of a countermeasure, otherwise he wouldn't have brought these things.
In response, Lao Jiang just lit a cigarette, glanced at the sky, and said mysteriously: "It will be easy to handle after dark!"
