Yellow River Craftsman

Chapter 137

After returning from Yincoffin Mountain, I went back to Hezi Village.

During this month, the villagers in the village also heard the news of Grandpa's death.

Some villagers who had been favored by grandpa secretly sent wreaths, which were placed at the gate of the yard.

The black elegiac couplet fluttered in the wind, and the inscription in the center was particularly eye-catching.

I came home in the middle of the night, stayed at home overnight, and left for Xi'an before dawn.

In the Institute of Archaeology in Xi'an, I saw the ancient Meidi.

I haven't seen her for a month, and she seems to be even more beautiful.

It's also possible that it's not that she has become more beautiful, it's because I haven't seen a woman for a month, so seeing her feels abnormally beautiful.

I thought that I might not miss her that much, because during the period of my cultivation, I rarely remembered her.But when I stood face to face with her, I realized that the longing for her deep in my heart was like the roaring water of the Yellow River.It turns out that some things have long been engraved in the depths of the soul, and even time cannot erase them.

"Are you finally here?" Gu Meidi looked at me, and I could read the longing in her eyes.

I grinned: "What's the matter? Did you miss me?"

Gu Meidi nodded, but said very freely: "A little bit! Why have you been out for so long for a month? Where have you been? It feels like your body has become stronger!"

"Hey!" I smiled slightly: "Grandpa is gone, I'm going to keep his filial piety at home! I didn't go back to my hometown before, and the house was all run by my grandpa. I didn't know there were so many things to do at home. Now I'm left to live alone. Sometimes I still can't handle it! By the way, let's not talk about me, let's talk about your side, about Ye Sheng and Fan Shuai..."

"I have already reported the details to my superiors. It is said that after Murong Feng returned to the Anti-Terrorist Security Bureau, he also told the leaders of the archaeological team here about this matter, and even recommended and praised you. The superiors value you very much. , have been waiting for you to come back!" At this point, Gu Meidi smiled and lowered his voice: "I heard that the higher-ups want you to sit in Ye Sheng's seat!"

"Me?" I waved my hand again and again: "No, no, my attainments are not that deep, how can I take on such a heavy responsibility? Besides, I'm actually here today... Well, I'm here to resign!"

"What?! Resign?!" Gu Meidi looked at me in surprise: "Tuobagu, did I hear you right? You said you want to resign!"

I nodded: "Yes, resign! I am here to resign today!"

"What are you kidding!" Gu Meidi looked straight into my eyes and said word by word: "Even if others don't know, but I, Gu Meidi, know how much you love archeology. But you were a top student in the Department of Archeology back then! Besides, after so much tempering, the position of Professor Ye is vacant for you. Being able to take up the position at such a young age is something that no one else can think of! Now you can say You have a bright future, why did you choose to resign at such a good time? Tell me, what is the reason?"

Gu Meidi's words were like sharp thorns, piercing my heart again and again.

I admit that I love archeology very much, but now I have to let go of this career, because I have more important things to do, that is - to guard the Yellow River!
It was also very difficult for me to make this decision, but from the moment I raised the Heavenly Evil Spear and vowed to guard the Yellow River, I had already decided to give up archaeology, although this decision was very painful, it can even be said to be heartbreaking.

But, this is my fate.

I have no choice.

Seeing that I didn't make a sound, Gu Meidi took a step forward, held my hands, and said softly: "I know that Grandpa's death has brought you a heavy mental blow, but I know your character, you are the kind of A tough and unyielding person will never be afraid of any difficulties. I don't believe you will be defeated so easily! Tuobagu, you used to be such a man with such drive and ideals, why...why did you make such a move? Ridiculous decision?"

"I don't think there's anything absurd about this decision!" I took a breath and said calmly, "Because I have more important things to do. I want to go back to the Yellow River. I want to resume my ancestral business and become a fisherman." Corpseman!"

Gu Meidi opened his mouth, but before he could speak, a deep voice came from behind me first: "What?! You want to go back to be a corpse hunter?!"

"Captain Liu!" Gu Meidi called out to the visitor.

I turned my head, and in front of me was a young man with a dark and thin appearance, but a hale and hearty man. He was wearing a somewhat whitish Chinese tunic suit, with a pair of reading glasses on the bridge of his nose. He was the chief captain of our archaeological team, and we all called him Captain Liu. , also called him Lao Liu in private.

"Captain Liu, you came just in time, I'm about to come to you!" I handed Lao Liu a cigarette.

Lao Liu didn't pick up my cigarette, and frowned and said, "I just heard from my colleagues below that you were back, so I hurried over to look for you. I didn't expect to hear that you were going to resign as soon as I entered the door. Tuoba Gu, Do you know what you're doing?"

"Of course I know! I'm very clear about what I'm doing! I have my own considerations!" I lit a cigarette, and I felt a little uncomfortable. After all, if I suddenly gave up my childhood ideals, it felt like being raped by someone. It was as uncomfortable as gouging out a piece of meat with a knife.

Lao Liu was a little angry: "Consider? What do you think about? Tuobagu, your performance in the archaeological team is very good, and your professional level has also been unanimously recognized by us. We think you have unlimited potential, and the higher-ups are planning to promote you , How can you resign at such a time? Don’t you love archeology? Don’t you want to shine in the archaeological field? Continue to specialize with your achievements, and it will definitely be a new hope for the archaeological field. star……"

"Captain Liu, you don't need to persuade me anymore, I've already made up my mind and I won't change my mind!" I exhaled a puff of smoke and said bluntly.I don't want to listen to it anymore, because the more I listen to it, the more sad it will be.

"You...you really want to go home to retrieve the corpse?" Lao Liu rubbed his temples, he couldn't understand my choice.

I grinned and said casually, "What's wrong with picking up corpses? You can make money and help others. The most important thing is to be unrestrained. Smile and watch the tide ebb and flow..."

"Enough!" Lao Liu interrupted me angrily, turned around and walked away: "It's useless for a young man like you who doesn't make progress to stay in the archaeological team! If you want to resign, resign, I hope you don't regret it! "

When he walked to the door, Lao Liu stopped and said without looking back: "That's right! If you want to resign, go and get the files in the university, we need to deal with it here!"

"Thank you Captain Liu!" I breathed a sigh of relief.

Lao Liu stomped his feet and walked away angrily: "Thank you!"

"Tuoba Gu!" Gu Meidi came to me: "No matter what choice you make, I will support you! If you need my help in anything, you must notify me as soon as possible!"

"Don't worry, I will definitely pester you for the rest of my life! Haha!" I lowered my voice and smiled against Gu Meidi's ear.

Gu Meidi frowned: "Fuck you, it made my ears itch! It was a very romantic confession, why did it become so ghostly when it came out of your mouth?"

"Ah?! What?! Did I confess? You heard it wrong! Okay, you are busy first, I will go back to school, see you!" I ran away in a hurry. In terms of love, I am still very shy, my little face is flushed, as if I have been caught and raped, and I keep my head down when I walk.

The university I attended is located on the outskirts of Xi'an, a well-known institution of higher learning in the northwest region. As for the name of the school, I will keep it secret for the time being to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.

I haven't been back to school for a long time, the school is still the same, nothing has changed, it has become just people, a group of students left, and another group of students came in.Looking at those youthful faces, I actually felt a little sad, feeling that everything is right and everyone is wrong.It is said that this is the obvious characteristic of old age.

I smiled secretly, maybe I'm really old!
I have spent four years of youth here, sweated and sweated for four years, and left the best memories of four years.

There are all kinds of strange stories circulating in every campus, as if the school is a sinister place.

Of course, we don't know where these legends come from, anyway, they are passed down by students from generation to generation.

Our school is no exception. The most widely circulated and most mysterious is the legend about "The Road of Wronged Ghosts".

I don't know why students like to fantasize about the ghost road so much in the thinking world of students. It seems that many colleges and universities have such a gloomy ghost road, and then there are all kinds of weird ghosts wandering around ghosts all night and all night. Drifting on the road, creating all sorts of horrifying campus supernatural tragedies.

I remember that there was a novel "The Wrong Ghost Road" on the Internet that was popular for a while, and the students rushed to read it one after another.

Perhaps it is because I have been used to seeing all kinds of corpses since I was a child, so I am not very afraid of ghosts.In my sophomore year, I took a few dicks in the same dormitory to visit ghosts at night, and in the end I scared one of them to pee.

The reason why I bring up the Wrong Ghost Road is because I am walking on the Wrong Ghost Road at school.

Because I want to go to the school's archives, I have to go around a lot when I take the main road, and I can take a shortcut when I take the wrong path.

In fact, I think the Qionggui Road in our school is quite beautiful. It is a small road with a winding path. On both sides of the road are tall French plane trees with luxuriant branches and lush greenery, which block the sunlight, so the light in Qionggui Road is dim, and it looks a bit dark. It's gloomy.There is a layer of fallen leaves on the ground, and when the wind blows, those fallen leaves will fly all over the sky, making a splashing sound.Ordinary people may feel fear, but I feel quiet and comfortable, and even feel that the falling leaves flying all over the sky are very romantic. It would be a wonderful thing in life to be able to take a walk here holding Gu Meidi's little hand!
