I collect cultural relics in the human world

"You haven't been to the spring yet?"

"More or less," Jun Jiuzi shrugged, "I took one look at it from a distance and was expelled. Shaquan Village is relatively isolated, and the villagers there are very unfriendly to outsiders. We haven't been able to officially enter the village yet."

"Then how do you know that the spring water has lasted for thousands of years and never dries up in autumn and winter?" Lao Chaofeng pondered.

"As expected of Teacher Qin," Lao Chaofeng hit the point every time, and Jun Jiuzi showed admiration. "Although this village is secluded in the desert, it is not completely isolated from the world. There is just a village that is not allowed to be revealed to outsiders. The rules of the situation are very mysterious. However, there must be brave men under heavy rewards. I spent a lot of money to find a man from Shaquan Village who went out to work, and learned about the general situation in the village from his mouth. "

Fan Yu thought of the steel beast he saw before and had no doubt about the word "heavy money". He thought to himself - it's good to have money.

"Since you spent a lot of money, you should know everything you want to say, right?" Fan Yu raised his eyebrows and asked tentatively.

Jun Jiuzi nodded: "It's very detailed. I basically understand everything I want to know."

"But he refuses to take you into the village to explore?"

"The villagers are simple and respectful of the rules of our ancestors. He is willing to tell us the details of the village because he thinks it is nothing weird and has an open mind. However, it would be too difficult to lead us into the village, and besides, he does not have that much majesty. , can take us into the village."

Lao Chaofeng tapped the table twice: "Then do you hear that there are any things in the village that cannot be discussed with outsiders?"

"Aside from the fact that the spring water is really weird..." Jun Jiuzi also frowned and shook her head. Her curly hair bounced twice with the rhythm. It could be seen that she was also doubtful - since there is nothing that should not be treated as humane. , why is there a rule against revealing the situation in the village to outsiders?

Fan Yu looked at the silent professor and looked at Lao Chaofeng thoughtfully. Qin Jian knew what he meant.

Wherever there is water in the desert, there is a high possibility that it is connected with ancient civilizations.The Taklimakan Desert, which the ancient Silk Road passed through, itself had splendid civilizations. However, as rivers or lakes were diverted or dried up, these civilizations were forced to migrate or were directly destroyed.In addition to the world-famous ancient Loulan Kingdom, the ancient cities of Jingjue Kingdom, Ximi Kingdom and Fanhuoluo Kingdom among the 36 countries in the Western Regions have all disappeared in the vast yellow sand, and the ruins of their homeland are still rarely known.In this seemingly barren and barren hinterland of the desert, there are actually many once-unparalleled glories silently present.

Impermanence is like a dream, all prosperity is but a handful of fine sand.

Jun Jiuzi didn't know what Qin Jian and the others were doing. From what she said, she just thought that the obstacles encountered by the inspection team came from the villagers.But Qin Jian is different from Fan Yu. Even though Fan Yu didn't think deeply when he first heard about this mission, now because of He Si's dream, he is extremely sure that the power of cultural relics is involved behind this matter-if this ancient If the village protects an ancient civilization, it would be understandable that there would be various rules.

Regarding the civilized relics, the people Jun Jiuzi found probably did not deliberately hide it, because the villagers in Shaquan Village probably don’t know what they are guarding now. They just rely on their inner beliefs and absolute loyalty to blindly fulfill their duties. It's just a rule that has been passed down orally from our ancestors.

But now the collision is destined. Foreign civilization is testing the boundaries of this village. The ancient relics remain and the past is thousands of years old. I wonder what kind of waves will happen this time.

Seeing that Lao Chaofeng didn't speak, Fan Yu continued to ask: "Since he didn't enter the village, why was he arrested?"

Jun Jiuzi's face darkened and her voice became lowered: "It's because I was not strict in managing the team. After the failure to enter the village for the first time, we retreated to this observation station, preparing to slowly soften the attitude of the villagers and try to do it slowly. But no Thinking that these villagers are also very stubborn, the matter has been delayed for half a month without any progress. A new intern in our team said that his patience had worn out in the past year, and he even sneaked into the village while it was dark."

"You were arrested now?" Fan Yu felt it was a bit exaggerated, "What kind of barbaric place is this? It's so unreasonable."

"No, he took advantage of the night and sneaked all the way to the spring, took a jar of water sample and wanted to bring it for analysis."

"Then you were caught by the people guarding the spring?" Fan Yu leaned back in his chair and made a creaking sound, "Although you guys are unjust, the other party is also at fault. I will take you to apologize tomorrow. "

Jun Jiuzi still shook his head, looking embarrassed.

"You can't even apologize? You're too overbearing. What kind of spring water can't be obtained?" Fan Yu raised his eyebrows, eager to give it a try.

"We apologized. Although it was unpleasant, the person was released at that time, but..."

"Just what? The young man braved the difficulties and then went there again?"

Jun Jiuzi sighed: "It's strange to say that on the second day after returning in the year of statement, the spring water suddenly became extremely turbid for some reason, mixed with mud and sand. I asked the previous villager and he had never seen anything like this before. situation."

"What?" Fan Yu was surprised and looked at Lao Chaofeng again. Once the clear spring that had lasted for thousands of years was muddy, it looked like it was their fault.

"It's such a coincidence," Jun Jiuzi spread her hands, "I happened to be away when the villagers came to the door, and a few students failed to stop him, so he was tied up and taken away. I tried for several days, but couldn't solve the problem. I didn’t want to force the rescue and make the situation worse with the villagers, and besides, the changes in the spring water were really strange, so I asked Director Deng for help.”

"Has the weather been unusual recently?"

"No, it's a sunny day."

"Do you know what that young man used to get the water?"

"It's our most common sampling bottle," Jun Jiuzi had obviously thought about this problem and said quickly, "I sent people to send people back to the laboratory for inspection of the same batch of sampling bottles. They have not been contaminated."

"Where's the water we brought back?"

"Very ordinary mineral water."

"Then... have you asked the young man if he encountered any strange things on the way when he went to get water?"

"I asked. Life in the desert is actually very monotonous. When he came back, he said everything was as usual. But after all, he was traveling at night and had a guilty conscience. He was startled again, so he might have been negligent."

While Fan Yu and Jun Jiuzi were replying, the cause and effect of the person's capture were all understood. It was not difficult to save the person, but the appearance and turbidity of the spring water was probably the key to the problem. Lao Chaofeng thought for a while and said, "It's too late today. , don’t bother me, please take us to the village to see the situation tomorrow morning.”

"Then thank you in advance." Jun Jiuzi said and stood up immediately, "The side room is simple, it's hard for you two to settle here for one night."

"It's okay."

Fan Yu watched the woman's tall figure leave the room, the door was gently closed, and then turned to Lao Chaofeng, with a malicious look on his face: "Uncle Qin, what do you think?"

"Save people first." Qin Jian didn't answer his question. He stood up and walked to a wooden bed behind him. He waved his hand, put on his clothes and lay down.

"Wait a minute, Uncle Qin," Fan Yu came to the bed in a flattering manner, "You said that the professor wouldn't come back to check on him in the middle of the night. The wind is cold and the dew is heavy, and the sky is full of yellow sand. How about we go back to sleep."

Qin Jian turned over, turned his back to him, and went to sleep.

"Uncle Qin..." Fan Yu lengthened his tone, looking shameless.

"How do you know something won't happen during the night?"

"What can happen in this small corner?" Fan Yu muttered, but still resigned himself to lying down on the other single bed. He looked at the ceiling, his mind filled with the conversation just now, and he couldn't sleep for a while. Then he asked, "Uncle Qin, what do you think is the relationship between Jun Jiuzi and Director Deng?"

"do not know."

"Aren't you curious?"

"Not curious."

"Director Deng is so nervous about her, but she is obviously not our director Deng's type. Not to mention her age, her tomboyish appearance does not match the taste and aesthetics of Director Deng's scholarly family at all." "She is very good. rich."

"Eh?"

"Your department is short of money."

Fan Yu stopped talking. He thought again of the Brabus XLP900 and her power of running rampant in the sand. He doubled over on the bed and still felt uncomfortable.After a long while, he gritted his teeth and muttered to himself: "Damn, money can really make a difference."

"Uncle Qin, do you think she would agree if I borrowed her car to drive tomorrow?"

Of course Qin Jian didn't answer, and Fan Yu wasn't discouraged, and then said: "If she doesn't agree, please help me. We just concluded the last case, and we didn't even have a night's rest before she came here and killed her. It's still an obligation." Labor is interesting enough, right?"

"To shut up."

"Hey." Fan Yu felt bored and didn't want to worry about it. He sighed and fell asleep.

Lao Chaofeng's mouth seemed to be open. Not long after the two fell asleep, there was a burst of scattered footsteps from far to near outside the house, and then there was a noise.

Fan Yu jumped up from the bed and rubbed his eyes. The sleepiness in his eyes that were still hazy just now was gone, and he seemed to be ready for everything.Then he saw Qin Jian sitting firmly on the bedside, his eyes clear, as if he had never fallen asleep.

"what happened?"

"It seems that we don't have to go to Murakami to find anyone today."

"Are there villagers outside?" Fan Yu said and opened the door. The night had dispersed somewhat, but the sun was still below the horizon. There was a hint of fish belly white in the east. The whole world was dim and hazy, like a northern city after a sandstorm.

Fan Yu walked out. Several men in simple clothes were standing at the courtyard wall shouting. They had dark skin and lean bodies. At first glance, they were the villagers of Shaquan Village mentioned by Jun Jiuzi.When several people saw Fan Yu, they immediately took two steps closer. They could see his appearance clearly, or perhaps saw his 1.9-meter tall and strong figure. Several people hesitated at their feet, but only one was still moving forward bravely.

"Fellow, what's going on?" Fan Yu shouted, trying his best to show an approachable smile.

"Who are you?" The obviously older man wearing a headscarf asked from a distance.

"I'm here to help."

"I'm looking for you to take charge."

"Isn't that me?" Fan Yu smiled more kindly.

"Where's that girl?" The villagers obviously didn't believe Fan Yu's words and looked him up and down cautiously, "The one who has been hanging around our village these past two days."

"Uncle Zhao, why are you here?" Jun Jiuzi was obviously awakened by the movement. He walked out of another room. When he saw the person coming, his heart sank when he thought of his teammates who were still trapped.

"What do you guys have to do?" As soon as Jun Jiuzi finished speaking, Lao Chaofeng also walked out from behind Fan Yu.

Several people's eyes moved from Fan Yu to Jun Jiuzi, shook their heads, and then moved to Lao Chaofeng. They immediately had an idea, and they all recognized that Lao Chaofeng was the one in charge, and walked over with all kinds of chatter.

Jun Jiuzi was obviously used to this scene. She was a young woman, from a good family, and her gender, qualifications, and family were not all advantages. She was inevitably called Miss when she walked outside.Although she has been working hard in the desert for the past few years and has achieved some results. She is not afraid of hardship or tiredness and has strong professional skills. However, she still cannot avoid being looked down upon by others, or they may attribute all her achievements to her family. She smiled bitterly. After a moment, he immediately put back his self-pity and walked towards Lao Chaofeng.

"Wait a minute," Lao Chaofeng said with dignity. As soon as he spoke, the surroundings actually became quiet. "This is Professor Jun, the leader of the expedition team. She has been in contact with you in the early stage. She knows what the situation is best. You should talk to her first."

Jun Jiuzi looked at Lao Chaofeng after hearing this. The surprise in his eyes gradually turned into gratitude. Lao Chaofeng only nodded slightly and turned his attention to the villagers.

"Uncle Zhao, what happened? Didn't something happen in the statement?"

"What happened? You have the nerve to ask your team member what happened? He is very kind and we did not treat him badly at all, but the sand spring in the village has dried up!"

"what!"

"what?"

Fan Yu and Jun Jiuzi said in unison, and then Fan Yu looked at Jun Jiuzi and said, "Didn't you say it was turbid? Why did it suddenly dry up?"

"Stop pretending, what should we do now? Our whole village depends on that little water source, tell us what we should do now!"

"Yes, what should I do?"

"How can we survive when the water is gone!"

"You are responsible!"

"Yes, find someone to take responsibility!"

After the man who was called Uncle Zhao finished speaking, the people around him started talking again. They were all filled with indignation and did not give her a chance to answer. They just surrounded Jun Jiuzi.

"Hey." Seeing this, Fan Yu glanced at Lao Chaofeng reproachfully. Just when he wanted to be a hero to save the beauty, he heard Jun Jiuzi raise his voice and shout: "Quiet!"

Jun Jiuzi's voice was not as powerful as that of Lao Chaofeng. He won with his voice. Although the crowd was quiet for a while, the sound immediately rebounded.

She quickly continued in a deep voice: "Are you here to solve the problem or to quarrel? The sun is coming out. If the water source problem is not solved, your family may not be able to survive the whole day."

These words touched the hearts of the villagers. They looked at me and I looked at you, and they became completely quiet.

Jun Jiuzi struck while the iron was hot and asked again: "Uncle Zhao, what's going on with the spring water?"

"I don't know," Uncle Zhao was still angry, but he still replied due to the situation at hand, "I was fine before I went to bed last night. Who would have known that in the middle of the night, the people guarding the spring would be calling for help in a hurry, waiting for us to arrive. When I looked at the spring, I saw...it had already bottomed out."

"In this way..." Jun Jiuzi thought for a while, pointed at Lao Chaofeng and said, "As you know, we are a geological survey team and have done some research on this kind of thing. These two are the foreign aids I invited. You How about taking us to the spring together?"

"I don't agree," Uncle Zhao put his hands behind his back and answered resoundingly, "Is there anything to investigate? The cause of the matter is that your people polluted the Shenquan. Now the Shenquan has turned its anger on the villagers. You still want to go see it, don't you? Leave us a way to survive."

Following his objection, there was another commotion in the crowd.

"Then what do you think?"

"Worshiping the ancestors."
