Chapter 286 Wen Jin’s Team

286 Chapter 286 Wen Jin’s Team
This black and white photo is obviously very old and has turned a bit brown. It looks like it was taken at the same time as the photo Bald Chu gave Wu Xie, but this one is much better preserved.

The little brother looked at the photo and fell into deep thought again. He stood motionless. As usual, I watched him obediently and didn't disturb him.

Wu Xie was quite surprised when he saw the photo and immediately asked: "Agui, when was this photo taken?"

Agui walked over, looked at it and said, "This is from decades ago." He pointed at the man next to Wenjin and said, "This man is my father, and this woman is from the expedition team."

Wu Xie said in surprise: "Inspection team? An inspection team has been here? What is going on?"

Agui frowned and said, "I don't know about that. It seems that something was found in the mountains over there, that's where it is." After that, Agui pointed in a direction and said, "I've been doing this for several years, and then suddenly it happened. Nothing further."

Although Wu Xie didn't act too exaggerated, I could see that his heart was already churning at this moment, and he was very happy. I saw that he immediately pulled Agui to sit down and said to him: "You Tell me about this expedition team."

Wu Xie made Agui feel confused and looked at him with confusion.

The fat man reacted quickly and said categorically: "That's what the few of us like. We love to hear stories. Don't mind. Just tell us about it. We'll give you money and royalties. Thirty words per thousand words."

Needless to say, Fatty’s trick is useful for businessmen like Agui. As soon as he heard that he was making money, he immediately became excited and hurriedly waved his daughter over to count the words. Then he told us everything from beginning to end. The last one said it again.

I tilted my head and put my little head on my brother's arm, and listened to Agui's words. It was exactly what I thought. The teenage boy in the photo was him. Agui is now 40 years old. How old is he? When he was a teenager, he was exactly seven years old.

I remember that Zhang Qishan started searching for the secrets of his brother and the Zhang family in the 20s, and it took him [-] years.During this period, the Nine Sects suffered heavy losses, and the Zhang family's power was split into two. In the end, his own power was almost completely wiped out.

Those who took action after 1970 should be the archaeological team composed of the second generation of the Nine Gates led by Wen Jin arranged by "it".

This photo proves that they started their activities here. It was also in those years that Chen Pi discovered the Snake-browed Bronze Fish in Jinger Palace.

Agui said: "Banai was very poor and almost isolated from the world at that time, so the appearance of the expedition team left a deep impression on me.

The expedition team at that time consisted of more than a dozen people, led by a woman. They came to this village with people going to the market outside. My father was the liaison officer in the village at that time, and it was my father who received them.

They told me that my father was an archaeological team member from the city. He had a red seal document from the government and was going to conduct an archaeological survey nearby. They hoped that my father would cooperate.

This matter was considered a big deal in the village back then, and my father did not dare to neglect it. He arranged the accommodation and guide.

The expedition team stayed here for six or seven months, during which they spent most of the time running outside in the mountains. Basically, the people in the village had no contact with the expedition team.The one who has the closest relationship with them is the guide arranged by my father for them.

Later, when the expedition team left, we asked the guide, what on earth were these people doing in the mountains?The guide couldn't tell clearly either.In the past few months, he had traveled almost all the nearby mountains, and finally seemed to have found the place he was looking for. If he didn't continue running in the mountains, he wouldn't need a guide, so he didn't follow the team.The woman only asked him to report in every three days, and specifically reminded him not to be too early or too late. "

I thought to myself that they need to get stuck. If they found a place again, they must have entered that place. It seems that the time is calculated every time they go in. The guide probably couldn’t find them if he had gone there early. The villagers Suspicion will arise and so on.

Agui also said: "Later on, something happened that sounded quite evil.

In the beginning, the guide always went there every three days, which was no big problem. One time, he wanted to help his relatives cut grass, so he thought it would be okay to go a day early. But when he went there, he found that there was no one in the camp of the archaeological team. I don’t know where I went. "

I asked him: "Not one?"

Agui nodded and said: "Yes, there is no one. He was frightened at the time. He thought he was in trouble, but he didn't dare to say it. He went to look for it by himself. He searched all over the nearby mountains and couldn't find it."

Hearing what he said, I frowned slightly, and suddenly I felt that it was strange that there was no one there. At least there must be some left-behind personnel watching the camp, and they should be here to get important things from the ground. Above It's impossible not to keep people watching. It's such a loose approach. This team is led by Wen Jin. She won't do things like this. There must be something wrong.

I continued to listen to him: "At that time, the guide returned to the village in fear and did not dare to sleep all night. When he went back the next day, he found that those people had appeared again. The camp was bustling, as if nothing had happened. It was the same thing. He felt something was abnormal at the time and thought it was the mountain god causing trouble, so he didn't dare to tell the story. He waited until the archaeological team left before telling the villagers.

When the archaeological team left, they took away more than a dozen boxes of things, which were said to have been found in that area.No one knew what was inside.This photo was taken of the female team leader and my father before leaving. It was developed and sent back in the city.Because of this incident, my father later became a village official, so he regarded this as his glorious history and hung it on the wall. "

After Agui finished speaking, the fat man couldn't hold back his excitement and asked Agui again: "What year did it happen, do you remember?" Agui pointed his cigarette rod at the child in the background behind the photo: "Look This is me, I’m too young, I can’t tell the year, and I didn’t have any books to read at the time, but someone will definitely remember it. If you want to know more details, I’ll ask you tomorrow.”

Wu Xie thanked him, his heart was already churning. He looked at the mountain and asked Agui: "You are a local. Is there any local saying about that mountain? What can there be?"

Agui said: "That area is called Sheep's Foot Mountain. I really don't know what's there. In fact, I'm quite curious. Later I also asked some people. According to some old people, there used to be a mountain in that valley. I don’t know when the old village was built. Later, the emperor went to war and a mountain fire broke out. Most of it was burned down, killing many people, and then it was abandoned. Maybe they were studying that thing."

I couldn't help but mutter: "The emperor is fighting in the old village..." But the voice was very low, and only my brother noticed it and kept watching my reaction.

Agui asked: "What? Are you also interested?"

The fat man said sincerely: "I'm quite interested."

Agui said: "The mountain is a bit far away, the road is difficult to walk, and it is strange. There are few wild animals. We usually don't go there, but there is a river valley there where you can catch fish. But it rains a lot this season and it will be dangerous. I It is recommended that you don’t go there to play.”

The little brother suddenly asked: "Have you been there?"

Agui said: "I haven't been there either. My grandfather has been there and said that the mountain fire was so severe that everything that could be seen on the ground was gone. There might be some foundation stones left in the soil. It happened many years ago.

If you want to know about the archaeological team, why don't I take you to the tour guide at that time tomorrow to ask. He must know more than me. It's best not to go to the mountains. "

The younger brother ignored it and continued: "If you must go, how should you get there?"

Agui said to him: "We have to walk along the stream. The road is difficult. If you want to go there, I can help you find a guide for 200 yuan. How about it? But I can't go tomorrow. It will take at least two days. Now Orion None of them came back.”

The little brother looked at me, and I knew he was going to take a look no matter what, so I said to him, "I listen to you."

He looked at Wu Xie again, and Wu Xie nodded.

Sure enough, after talking about it, Agui found us strange and muttered: "The problem is, there is nothing there, it's just the forest. You can't see anything there."

The fat man said to him: "Just step on it."

Agui smiled bitterly, shook his head and sighed: "That road is really difficult. You city people don't know what's going on. You like to spend money to buy your own suffering."

As he said that, Agui suddenly thought of something and asked us, "By the way, why are you asking about this? Are you not stealing and selling cultural relics?"

The fat man drank too much and cursed when he heard it: "What are you talking about, selling cultural relics? It's so stupid! Let me tell you, in fact, we are selling..."

Wu Xie quickly poked him, and then said: "It's the tour guide! There is a group coming in, and there is no place to accompany us here. Let's ask around first. We are looking for scenic spots."

Agui was very interested when he heard it: "Okay, bring me here and I will help you arrange it. There are many fun places here, but it is not fun in the mountains. Just go there by yourself. The guests will definitely not like it."

Wu Xie nodded and smiled and agreed to smooth things over. He must be secretly cursing the fat man in his heart.

The fat man suddenly sobered up a lot, and realized that he had made a mistake, so he stopped rambling and went about his business.

I looked at them and smiled slightly, thinking about what Agui said, and it seemed weird.

Also, looking at the years, they tricked my brother and locked him up in those years. He was locked up for many, many years. Thinking of this, my mood became heavier and heavier. I was a little drunk and felt uncomfortable. No, I unconsciously took my little brother's arm, turned around and hugged him, stuffed myself into his arms, closed my eyes and pressed my head against him. He could feel that I was thinking about something and my mood was getting worse. He put his arms around me.

Wu Xie also wanted to ask Agui some details, but when he asked the questions afterwards, Agui said that he really didn’t remember them. He said that he had been working out for a long time and didn’t know much about the past of the village. Wu Xie was at a loss. , had to give up.

Then we all sat outside to enjoy the cool air and continued to discuss the details.
