Chapter 5
After searching in the novel street all morning, Liu Xing did not find the remaining seven volumes of "Notes from the Tomb".This kind of feeling of reading half of the novel and suddenly having no more content is like a man suddenly becoming a eunuch—it’s simply unbearable!
Feeling helpless, Liu Xing returned to the hotel.

When I walked through the living room, I found Liu Shiming sitting in front of the laptop, staring at the computer screen very intently.

Curious, Liu Xing walked over quietly. When he came behind Liu Shiming, he was dumbfounded because a strange picture was displayed on the computer screen.

The picture is a tomb with a circular shape and a dilapidated black coffin inside, in which lies a human-shaped bone.

This picture made Liu Xing look creepy, but Liu Shiming looked at it very seriously. She was using an image processing software similar to Photoshop to restore this photo of the skeleton.

"Sister, your taste is really strong!"

"Huh?" Liu Shiming turned her head, "A Xing, what did you just say?"

Liu Xing repeated: "I said you have a really special taste. Others edit pictures of beautiful women or handsome men. It's better for you to edit pictures of corpses and bones!"

Liu Shiming chuckled: "What are you talking about, this is a photo I took when I excavated the ancient tomb last month. I am restoring the ancient tomb."

"Ancient tomb?"

Only then did Liu Xing remember that his seemingly weak elder sister was studying in the Department of Archeology of Tianhai Haihai, and now she has joined an archaeological team of Tianhai University and started to participate in archaeological work.

Liu Xing leaned forward and carefully looked at the photo on the computer screen: "Where is this ancient tomb?"

"Yufeng Mountain."

Liu Shiming recalled, "Last month, Professor Juan's archaeological team discovered an unnamed ancient tomb in Yufeng Mountain. I know which dynasty this ancient tomb belongs to, I only know that the owner of the ancient tomb is a man."

Liu Xing asked strangely: "There are only a pile of bones left in the tomb, how did you identify the gender?"

"It's very easy, there are many ways, the simplest is to identify directly from the bones, such as the pelvis."

Liu Shiming moved the mouse, operated the image processing software, enlarged the photo of the skeleton on the computer screen by five times, and patiently explained in a gentle voice, "Ah Xing, pay attention to this, the pelvis of the skeleton is getting bigger and bigger from top to bottom. narrower and narrower, the entire pelvis is like a 'heart' shape, which is a typical feature of a man's pelvis. If it is a woman, because women are going to have children, their pelvis is horizontally long, from top to bottom Widen..."

Liu Shiming was halfway through speaking when her cell phone rang suddenly, and the person who called was Professor Juan from the archaeological team.

"Hey, Professor Hu, what's the matter? Is there a new discovery?... Book tomb... Oh... You said, I remember... 30 lunch boxes and 30 bottles of mineral water, right... OK, I will deliver it in four hours To Yufeng Mountain...well, bye."

After hanging up the phone, Liu Shiming immediately stood up and began to change her shoes, as if she was about to go out, Liu Xing was puzzled: "Sister, what happened?"

"Professor Hu's archaeological team discovered something new in the ancient tomb of Yufeng Mountain. They are going to work overtime on the mountain tonight." After putting on her shoes, Liu Shiming continued, "Professor Hu ordered 30 lunch boxes and 30 bottles of mineral water, I will send them to Yufeng Mountain to the archaeological team at night."

Liu Xing was curious: "What's new in the ancient tomb?"

Liu Shiming said: "Professor Juan said on the phone that an ancient book tomb may have been excavated..."

"Book tomb?"

Hearing these two words, Liu Xing's eyes lit up. He was reading "Notes on the Tomb of the Book" last night, and he was full of curiosity about the tomb. "

"What are you going for?"

"At night, it's not safe for you to run up the mountain alone as a woman. It will be dangerous if you meet the madman from the Goddess Book Club again."

"How could it be such a coincidence?" Liu Shiming smiled lightly, "It's fine to take you there, but you have to promise me that you must be obedient when you arrive at Yufeng Mountain, and you can't run around or touch, you know?"

"Don't worry, I won't touch those who are not allowed to touch."

……

At night, a round of bright moon hangs high in the night sky, and the moonlight like water pours down, laying a moving color on Yufeng Mountain.

There are lush trees in the mountains, and on the winding mountain road, a white lady motorcycle is driving towards the top of the mountain.

A man and a woman sat on the motorcycle, they were Liu Xing and Liu Shiming.

The moonlight was shining brightly, and the refreshing mountain breeze was blowing in front of us. Riding a motorcycle on the winding mountain road, Liu Xing found it very enjoyable. While driving the motorcycle, he enjoyed the beautiful scenery in the mountains along the way.

Yufeng Mountain is located in Chengnan District, Tianhai City, about 4 kilometers away from Fiction Street. The altitude is not high, only more than 300 meters.

There is a folk legend in China. More than 800 years ago, a scholar studied poetry and books on the top of Yufeng Mountain.

At the foot of Yufeng Mountain, there is a university, which is the famous Yufeng Novel Academy in Tianhai City.

"A Xing, drive slowly."

"The speed is only 50 kilometers per hour, which is already very slow. Besides, the customer comes first, and the top priority is to deliver the lunch box and mineral water to the archaeological team in the shortest possible time."

"Pull it down, don't think I don't know, you are clearly in a hurry to see the tomb of books."

"Sister, what is the age of this book tomb, and how many books are hidden?"

"How would I know? Professor Juan just said that it might be a book tomb, but it's hard to say the specifics."

The book tombs in Huaxia Kingdom were all buried by people hundreds of years ago to avoid the chaos of war.The collections of some tombs are worthless, while the collections of other tombs are priceless.

Three years ago, a tomb of books left over 300 years ago was discovered in Nanzhou City, Huaxia Kingdom, from which a four-star novel and seven three-star novels were excavated, with a total value of more than 600 million yuan.

The motorcycle circled up the mountain road, and after a few circles, there was a noise from a generator in front of it. With the help of the moonlight, Liu Xing took a closer look and found a group of people in blue clothes a hundred meters away. People in black uniforms are busy.

It turned out that he had already reached the top of Yufeng Mountain, and the location of the ancient tomb was conveniently in front of him.

"A Xing, the archaeological team is ahead, just park the car on the side of the road."

"clear."

The motorcycle leaned under a big tree. Liu Shiming walked towards the archaeological team with a bag containing 30 lunch boxes. Liu Xing followed closely behind with a schoolbag containing 30 bottles of mineral water.

"Professor Hu!"

"Shiming, you're here."

"How's the situation?"

"This book tomb is buried relatively deep, near the bottom of the lake."

"The bottom of the lake?"

"Correct."

Professor Ju An, who is over 60 years old this year, is a well-known archaeological expert at Tianhai University and Liu Shiming's tutor. He introduced, "Didn't our archaeological team discover an unnamed ancient tomb at the bottom of the lake last month? This ancient tomb is somewhat Strangely enough, we expanded the scope of excavation. As a result, we dug another tomb made of marble at the bottom of the lake. A large white box was buried in the tomb, which looked like a "book coffin" used to store books. "

"Book coffin? Have you dug it out yet?"

"It's being dug, and it should be able to be dug out tonight."

Listening to the conversation between the two, Liu Xing looked around. This was already the top of Yufeng Mountain, and there was actually a natural lake about five meters in front of him.

Liu Xing walked a few steps forward. The natural lake was oval in shape, with an area of ​​about 1800 square meters, larger than a football field. The water in the lake had almost bottomed out, and there was only a little clear water left at the bottom of the lake. Shining brightly.

Since the ancient tomb was discovered at the bottom of the lake a month ago, the water in this natural lake has been drained. At this time, more than a dozen water pumps can still be seen by the lake.On the east side of the natural lake, there is also a ditch dug by the excavation team for drainage.

"Hey, kid, why are you here?"

Liu Xing was watching, when Professor Juan suddenly patted his shoulder with his palm, and said with a smile, "I heard that your dementia has been cured?"

Liu Xing replied: "I was just discharged from the hospital yesterday."

"It's good to recover." Professor Juan said with emotion, "In the past two years, your family has been worrying about seeing a doctor for you, running around and seeking medical treatment everywhere. Your sister is trying to earn medical expenses for you. , almost gave up her studies and was about to go out to work. If I hadn't persuaded her several times, she would probably have dropped out of school. In recent years, the scholarship your sister has won, I can't bear to spend a penny of it, so I use it all to see a doctor for you .”

"Fortunately, you little brat is lucky to be a fool, and your dementia has been miraculously cured."

Liu Xing had also heard about these things Professor Juan said in the hospital before, and knew that his parents and sister had paid a lot for him.

"By the way, kid, I heard that you were cured by reading a mystery novel called "Detective Wang Nan"?"

"Uh...it seems to be."

"The novel "Detective Wang Nan" is not for sale, I would like to read it when I have time..."

"Professor Hu!"

While chatting, a man in a blue work uniform and an absentee hat hurried over, "Professor Hu, the book coffin has been dug out!"

"Really?"

Hearing this, Professor Juan regained his spirits immediately, and several archaeologists who were resting by the lake got up one after another, picked up the archaeological toolbox, and prepared to investigate the coffin at the bottom of the lake.

Liu Xing is not an archaeologist, but his curiosity is definitely not inferior to the archaeologists. He carried a schoolbag and quietly followed the crowd to the bottom of the natural lake...
