The years of reselling the haunted house

Chapter 438 The Archaeological Team

"It was taken more than ten years ago when an expedition team jointly formed by several colleges went to Shaanxi to investigate. At that time, the objects we investigated were different. Of course, I was looking at the creatures in the mountains, and I also went to archaeology. After we arrived at the relevant area, we acted separately and then assembled. At that time, I took several biologists into the mountain for investigation, and found this stone. The words on it at that time attracted us. Unfortunately, none of us I recognize these characters, but I don’t know when they were left. So we took this photo and located the location. We want to hand it over to the archaeological team when we go back to see if there is any research. value."

Looking at the photo, Ma Su recalled slowly.

I found that when Ma Di talked about this matter, he seemed to hesitate to speak, and his expression was a little strange.It seems that he is not very willing to mention the things at that time, but he has to talk about it because I came to beg him.

"Old Ma, what happened at that time?" I had a premonition that there would be something wrong at that time, otherwise Lao Ma would not have put this photo in the book and sealed it up.

Ma Di looked a little sad, nodded and said: "You are right, I really don't want to recall this past. I don't know why you saw this kind of text, but since it reappeared after so many years, maybe it is telling For me, what should be faced is always faced. If you can understand this kind of writing, it can be regarded as an explanation for the dedication of the two scholars at that time."

"Devotion? Did someone die at that time?" I asked in surprise.

Ma Di nodded: "At that time, after several of us took photos, we continued to search for a tree species we wanted to find, but found nothing, so we returned to the camp that day. Since our cameras were not digital at that time, the photos we took were still available for the time being. We couldn’t get it out, so we told the archaeological team about the stone and the words on it. Unexpectedly, they were very interested after hearing about it, so we sent someone to leave the camp with the film. We went to the nearest town to wash. We continued to stay in the camp and conducted surveys around the area. Two days later, the man came back excitedly with a photo. A few of them actually wanted to go into the mountain overnight to find that stone."

When Ma Di said this, I stopped him and asked, "Wait a minute, old Ma, are you saying that this photo was taken by you at that time, and that person went to the town to develop it?"

"Yes." Ma Su nodded.

I shook my head: "That's not right, my third uncle said that inscribed inscriptions don't exist in the world. In other words, inscribed inscriptions can only be viewed, not saved. I once took pictures with my mobile phone, and after the results came out, all the words on it disappeared miraculously So, if the words on the stone are inscribed, how could there be words in this photo?"

Ma Di said: "Maybe those who are difficult will not, and those who will meet are not difficult. After the man came back with the photo, I once heard him say a few words, it seems that he used a special method to wash it, and added some medicine. In short, it is very laborious. I don’t know the specifics.”

I couldn't help asking again: "They have worked so hard and are so interested, they must know the origin of these words."

Ma Di nodded: "They didn't say much at the time, they just wanted us to show them a way. Although we didn't come from the same place as them, after a period of work, we have formed a deep friendship with each other. For the sake of safety and to help my friends, another companion and I entered the mountain with the three of them."

"Going into the mountains at night, and there should be undeveloped mountainous areas, isn't it a bit dangerous?" I asked.

Ma Di smiled: "Even you know, how could we not know. But the behavior of those three people was completely different from usual, as if they were possessed by evil spirits, and they insisted on entering the mountain. We can't stop them even if we try hard to persuade them. We had to accompany them into the mountain. But after entering the mountain, it became very difficult for us to continue to find the location we positioned. We all have experience in living in the jungle, but we found the location nearby that night, but how did we find it? I can't find the stone either. It makes me wonder if there was something wrong with our positioning at the time."

Ma Di seemed to be completely lost in memory, and he spoke slowly.

I went over to pour a glass of water for the old horse and handed it to him.

He silently took the water glass, took a sip, and continued: "We have been wandering around that place for two full days, and all the dry food we brought has been eaten, so we suggested that they go back to the camp first. But they refused to go back." , I want to continue searching there."

I asked, "Didn't you ask them why they were so persistent in looking for that stone?"

Ma Di replied: "Their reaction is so big, of course we have to ask. But they have always kept their mouths shut. We know that some things involve industry secrets, so it is understandable not to say. So we didn't continue to ask. That's it, we We searched there for another day, and finally ran out of ammunition and food, so we had to return to the camp. We pitched a simple tent nearby, and decided to stay there until dawn before returning to the main camp. As a result, something happened that night. ..."

Having said this, Ma Su took a deep breath, took another sip of water, and continued: "I lived in one tent with another companion that night, and the three of them lived in two other tents. Everyone After wandering around for three days, I was a little tired. In addition, I had no dry food for a day, and I only ate some wild fruits to satisfy my hunger. I couldn’t keep up physically. So we went to bed early, and then I heard outside. Movement. It was the kind of small sound, as if someone was walking lightly. I looked at my watch in a daze, and it was a little past eleven o'clock that night. I gently opened a crack in the tent and looked out. I found two figures, just crawled out of the tent, and tiptoed to the outside of the temporary camp."

"Is it from the two archaeological teams?"

Ma Di nodded, then shook his head: "Actually, they are not a real archaeological team. They are all scholars who study ancient civilizations and cultures in school. Of course, they also do some archaeological work sometimes."

I guessed: "Then I guess they must have discovered something during the day and didn't want you to know, so they sneaked out at night."

Ma Di glanced at me, sighed and said, "Li Yang, I didn't expect you to guess this point just by hearing my story. It's a pity that I didn't think about that at the time. We always regarded them as friends. I have been doing my best to help them, but I never thought they would do those things behind our backs."

"So, that stone must be very precious and important to them. It's so important that they want to find it without telling you."

Ma Di shook his head: "To be honest, until now, I don't know what the value of that stone is. I didn't know even more at that time. When I saw them going out, I thought it was them going to get up at night. Who knew they Not long after they left, people who lived in another tent also came out, and followed those two down. Their strange behavior aroused my curiosity. It was more than ten years ago, and my curiosity is still strong. So I also sneaked out of the tent, and followed the third person out of the camp from a distance. They walked and listened in front, and they should be determining the route while walking. But I don’t understand why the three of them didn’t go together action."
