My mind goes to other worlds

Chapter 74 The Rejected Ye Jiu
The workstation in the ancient city of Loulan is a row of red brick buildings, which exist alone in the desert. There is no one inhabited here, four people and three dogs, and seven lives become the guardians of this sea of ​​death.

The person who greeted Ye Jiu and the others was Cui Lifei, the head of the workstation, an enthusiastic and optimistic man born in the 70s.Driving a mountain bike in the desert, he enthusiastically told everyone the stories that happened on this land.From his tone, it is not difficult to hear his love for this place.

Cui Lifei arranged the dormitory for Ye Jiu and the others, and took everyone to the small cafeteria for dinner. Their meals were simple, a big cake, and two small dishes of pickled vegetables and black sauce. Seeing this scene, everyone was in awe, but the four men With a face full of embarrassment, he kept saying that the hospitality was not good.

When they came, Long Jing and the others brought a lot of food, including canned food and dried vegetables, which could be eaten after being boiled in a pot. Even Xueer cooked skillfully, and soon, a sumptuous dinner was served.In the desert, having such a delicious dinner, Cui Lifei and the others felt warm in their hearts.

"You have worked hard!" After the meal, Cui Lifei and the others talked about the current situation of the workstation, and Wang Zhicheng held Cui Lifei's hand tightly, shook it severely, and sighed.

Cui Lifei smiled and shook his head, "We are nothing if we talk about hard work. Comrades from the Bureau of Cultural Relics and the Protection Station worked even harder. The ruins of Loulan Ancient City are more than [-] square meters, such a large area. They guard day and night, not to mention the difficult conditions. Maybe life is in danger..."

Everyone chatted until seven or eight o'clock, Wang Zhicheng and Qin Chenyi couldn't hold it anymore, their eyelids were fighting wildly, even Xue'er stretched from time to time, showing her slender waist, Ye Jiu was also tired, but he couldn't leave until everyone left.Long Jing interrupted Cui Lifei's conversation and suggested that everyone should rest.

It was late at night, lying on the bed, Ye Jiu couldn't fall asleep for a long time.

There are two bunk beds in the dormitory, Wang Zhenguo, Nie Qi, and Long Yu slept in the same room with Ye Jiu. He was sleeping on the bed, obviously very tired, tossing and turning, but unable to fall asleep.

Putting on his coat, he gently opened the door and walked out.

In the darkness, Long Yu, who was sleeping in his clothes, opened his eyes and followed quietly.

Not far away, I saw a slender figure on the cement stone platform of the workstation. She was sitting on the ground, wearing a camouflage coat, quietly staring into the distance in a daze.

"Staying up so late?" Ye Jiu walked over and asked softly.

Lian Xue'er was very engrossed, when she suddenly heard Ye Jiu's voice, she was startled, trembling all over, patted her chest with her small hands, and said angrily, "You are silent when you walk."

"You were too engrossed, you just didn't hear it."

Sitting next to Lian Xueer, in the darkness, there seems to be a fragrance floating into the nose, making people feel peaceful, as if they have become a grain of sand in this silent desert, and the impetuousness, restlessness, and apprehension in the heart have all disappeared.

Tilting his head slightly, he looked at her blurred pretty face.

Lian Xue'er is not particularly beautiful, but the tranquil temperament on her body can soothe the irritability of people's hearts. Facing her, it seems that even the heartbeat slows down.

"Still talking about me, why don't you sleep?"

"Can't sleep."

Lian Xue'er smiled, "Me too, I can't sleep, this time I came to Loulan ancient city, I don't know why, I'm full of uneasiness, I always feel that something will happen..."

"You think too much, so many people follow, nothing will happen." Ye Jiu comforted.

"You came in halfway and didn't know the situation. The professor didn't tell us everything. In fact, we all know that the professor kept something from us. When we went to the ancient city of Loulan, we were looking for a paradise on the surface, but we didn't know what to do secretly. , Ye Jiu, you shouldn't get involved." Lian Xueer said in a low voice.

Ye Jiu's eyelids twitched, and he smiled calmly, "I just want to know the cause of Grandpa's death."

"Be careful, professor..."

"What?" Ye Jiu looked at her in surprise.

"It's nothing, it's late, go to bed early." Lian Xue'er stood up and walked into her dormitory, looking at her graceful back, Ye Jiu was thoughtful.

Sure enough, there are still smart people in the world.

Wang Zhicheng, what exactly does he want to do?What are the people from the Law Enforcement Office and the Supervision Office planning?What kind of connection does the Continent of Light and Darkness have with the real world?How did he have the ability to communicate with other worlds with his mind?

"It's getting more and more interesting..."

……

In the early morning of the next day, Ye Jiu, who was sleeping soundly, was woken up by a loud bang. He raised his head slightly and looked at the opposite side with sleepy eyes.

Ye Jiu didn't feel sleepy at all, so he quickly put on his clothes and walked out of the dormitory. As soon as he arrived at the door, he saw Wang Zhicheng and the others fully armed, as if they were about to go out.

"Old Wang, you are..."

"Xiaoye, we are going to the ruins of the ancient city of Loulan. We didn't call you just now because we saw you sleeping soundly." Wang Zhicheng said with a smile.

"I'll go with you..."

"Xiaoye, archaeological work is very boring. You young people may not be able to adapt to it. I think it's better to stay at the workstation." Qin Chenyi looked at Ye Jiu and said lightly.

"Old Wang..."

Before Ye Jiu could speak, Wang Zhicheng nodded and agreed with Qin Chenyi, "Chenyi is right, Xiaoye, you are not familiar with archaeological work, and going to the Loulan site will not be of much help, why don't you stay and talk to Cui Chenyi?" The station master should know more about the situation of the ancient city of Loulan, and they know more about the ruins of the ancient city of Loulan than we do, so they might be able to find some clues."

"This……"

"Old Wang, let Ms. Lian Xueer stay here too. There is still a 30-kilometer journey from here to the ruins of the ancient city of Loulan. There is a section of the road that cannot be driven by car and needs to be walked. Ms. Lian's body may not be able to bear it." Long Jing said.

What he said seemed to be for Lian Xueer's sake, but Ye Jiu savored it carefully and felt that something was wrong. Afterwards, Long Jing said to Long Yu and Long Wan, "You two stay here to protect Ye Jiu and Lian Xueer. Safety."

"Yes, Captain."

"Let's go."

Looking at Wang Zhicheng and his party gradually disappearing into the desert, Ye Jiu and Lian Xueer looked at each other, Lian Xueer frowned and said, "Professor and the others are gone, we have to do our own work, Ye Jiu, Follow me to Stationmaster Cui and listen to his stories."

"Your heart is really big!" Ye Jiu praised.

Lian Xue'er smiled and didn't answer, Long Yu and Long Wan followed behind them step by step.

At around six o'clock in the afternoon, Wang Zhicheng and the others returned to their workstations in disgrace, picked up the prepared meals on the table and ate them without speaking, and the atmosphere was very strange.No need to think about it, they all returned without success. After dinner, Wang Zhicheng left alone without giving others a chance to speak.

Seeing this, everyone dispersed and went back to their respective dormitories.

On the first day when she came to the workstation, Ye Jiu thought she could participate in the action and solve her doubts, but she didn't get her wish.On the next Sunday, he left quietly without saying hello. Ye Jiu found only four staff members at the workstation, Lian Xueer who was reading, and Long Yu and Long Wan who were strolling nearby.

And Wang Zhicheng and the others had already gone to the Loulan ruins.

"Are we staying at the workstation again?" Ye Jiu looked at Lian Xueer and asked.

Lian Xueer nodded slightly.

That night, the research team still had no results. After dinner, Wang Zhicheng took out the silk manuscript unearthed from the ancient tomb in front of everyone and asked them to study together. Ye Jiu stretched his neck to see it, but Wang Zhicheng scolded, but Wang Zhicheng seemed completely unaware of his actions.

In Ye Jiu's impression, Wang Zhicheng had always been amiable, but he didn't expect that Ye Jiu would be reprimanded by him just thinking about reading the silk script.

At this moment, he remembered Lian Xueer's reminder to him, be careful with the professor!

On the third day, the weakest Lian Xueer was called away by Wang Zhicheng, and Ye Jiu, an assistant researcher in the Supernatural Civilization Research Group, stayed at the workstation alone.No matter how dull he is, he is aware of his situation. It is obvious that he has been rejected and isolated, and people don't believe him, because Long Yu also stays at the workstation, under the guise of protecting him.

The image of Wang Zhicheng as a good old man completely collapsed in Ye Jiu's heart. From the very beginning, he didn't feel at ease with Ye Jiu. He probably brought him here because he didn't want to reveal his whereabouts. By the way, he was lucky enough to hope that Ye Jiu could help.

After trying to understand the cause and effect, Ye Jiu didn't get angry, complained, or quarreled, but put his head in his hands and smiled at Long Yu who was moving in the yard, "Thank you for being with me."
