Mountain and Sea Treasures

Chapter 162 Ningyuan's Secret

The national archaeological team all borrowed from the villagers’ homes. Several households in the village were vacated, and together with the yard, they could accommodate no. empty.

"Aren't they here?" I glanced at the room, and when I arrived just now, I noticed that there were actually no people living in the other rooms.

There is no one at the burial site, no one in the cafeteria, and no one in the place where he lives now, so what about that person?
I remembered what Lao Yan said, five people committed suicide and ten people were sent to mental hospitals for treatment, so where did the remaining dozen people go?

When I arrived at Yejiashan, I saw only five or six people in total, and at least ten people were missing.

Ning Yuan's expression froze for a moment, and then he laughed and said, "What are you doing asking so much, a college student? Take a rest quickly, collect information and finish the project, then go back to school quickly, don't stay here."

After he finished speaking, he seemed to be afraid of me asking questions, so he left on the pretext of having something to do.

I was lying on the bed thinking about what Lao Yan said to me, and I always felt that this matter was too weird.According to common sense, five people have died, and many people have been sent to a mental hospital. Even the team leader suffered. This group of people should have panicked a long time ago, why are they still here?

Thinking about it, my eyelids started to fight, and I fell asleep in a daze. I vaguely heard someone talking in my sleep.

I barely opened my eyes, and just as I was about to make a movement, I was shocked by what I heard!
"Old Ning, why is this college student here now, isn't he afraid of death?" A strange voice came.

Ning Yuan snorted softly: "What nonsense, those people committed suicide because of too much work pressure, and I told you not to spread it..."

"But the people who had the accident were all at the scene that day. Don't you think it's okay with a few of us?" The man continued: "Speaking of Lao Ning, such a mess has already happened. Why do we stay here? No one is there now. I've been thinking about digging, and besides, with just a few of us, we can't take down such a large tomb."

"The burial pit is almost done, the only thing left is the main tomb. I will ask the country to send another person. You don't want to seize such a good opportunity?" Ning Yuan said coldly: "When Professor Gu was here in the past, you thought it was someone who hadn't come out. Opportunity, now that something happened to him, you can just show your performance, and when Professor Gu comes back, you will also see your strengths."

I couldn't help being stunned when I heard this, the death of so many people is nothing but a trivial matter in Ning Yuan's mouth, so what is the major event?
The man sighed: "Lao Ning, don't lie to us anymore, the matter must not be simple, otherwise why would you use such aggressive methods. Who doesn't know that you have a good relationship with Professor Gu, did he tell you not to talk about it?" of?"

"Don't make wild guesses. In short, you stay here first, and wait for Professor Gu to come back. What are you afraid of under the protection of the armed police at the foot of the mountain? Also, in front of this college student, keep your mouths shut. Nowadays, college students have nothing to do all day, so just There will be some news, and if it is really revealed, our archaeological operations will be suspended." Ning Yuan did not deny it, and said in a stern tone.

The man responded, but still muttered, saying that now is no different from a pause.

Ning Yuan ignored him, and sent him away with a few words.

Then I heard footsteps coming towards me, and I quickly closed my eyes.

"Little brother?" He yelled, I pretended not to hear and continued to lie down until he yelled several times before I answered in a daze.

"What's wrong?" I raised my hand and rubbed my eyes, pretending to just wake up.

Ning Yuan didn't doubt it, he just said that you slept until it was almost dark, and if you were later, there would be no food in the cafeteria.

I looked at the still high sun outside, and said in surprise, "There's no dinner now?"

Looking at the sun, it is estimated that it will be around four o'clock in the afternoon. Although it gets dark early in winter, the sun will not set until after five o'clock.

Ning Yuan said kindly: "The master in the kitchen has a weird temper and doesn't want to do things after dark, so we all eat early."

I groaned and slowly got up from the bed. This time Ning Yuan didn't follow me to the cafeteria. I don't know if he had already eaten or still had an upset stomach.

When I arrived at the cafeteria, there was indeed no one there. The chef who cooked rice urged me to finish the meal, and hurriedly left after collecting the dishes and chopsticks.

"Master, what are you doing in such a hurry, it's not too late." I pulled him back and asked.

The master glanced at me, and said impatiently: "You young man, why do you have so many questions, am I happy?"

I shrugged my shoulders innocently, I just asked a question, didn't I?

"Master, I'm just curious, don't you mind." I saw that he was really in a hurry, so I hurriedly apologized.

It may be because I am young and have a good attitude, so his face softened: "Young man, listen to my advice, go back to the room before dark, close the doors and windows. Leave early tomorrow morning, don't stay in this place. "

"Why?" I asked doubtfully, "My teacher told me that this is a very good opportunity. If I can complete this project, this university will not be in vain..."

The master glanced at me, hesitated to speak: "You better stop asking, go back quickly, don't wait until it gets dark."

As he said that, he took the bowl and hurried away, even if I shouted a few words behind, it was useless.

I looked at his back and felt that things were getting weirder, but in order not to attract attention, I had no choice but to go back to the place where I lived.

"You just came back like this?" Who knew that as soon as I arrived at the villager's house, Ning Yuan came over: "Didn't you see that the sky is getting dark?"

I tightened my coat and pretended not to understand, and said, "It's going to be colder when it's dark, it's okay."

Ning Yuan frowned and looked at me. After a while, he said to sleep well at night, don't come out to wander around, and left.

Because there were not many people, I lived in a room by myself. When I was sure that no one would come looking for me, I found out the small radio station that Lao Yan gave me when I was leaving, and contacted Lao Yan.

"How is it?" Lao Yan's anxious voice came.

I told him what I saw today, and he also felt strange: "So besides Ning Yuan, those five or six people don't know exactly what happened?"

"It should be like this." I replied: "What makes me strange is that the archaeology has almost been forced to stop now. Why do they keep it hidden? Could it be that dead people are of no importance to them at all."

"This is wrong. Logically speaking, they don't have the guts to hide such a big accident. Only Lao Gu dares to do it! Chang'an, be smart. If you can't break through here, ask the villagers. So many people have died. People, it is impossible to hide the truth from the local people." Lao Yan instructed.

I thanked him, and then said: "Old Yan, the number of people is not right at all, where do you think the remaining people are?"
