Chapter 152: Yinyue Civilization
Several members of the archaeological team expressed their gratitude to Ning Tao, and a middle-aged man in his forties said to Ning Tao: "My friend, you saved our lives this time. I don't want to thank you for saving our lives. Tell me, my benefactor." We have your name, we must repay you when we go back." Then he added, "Oh, by the way, my name is Ji Wengui, and I am the captain of this archaeological team."
The reason why Ning Tao didn't want to tell these people his name was that he didn't want these people to come to him from time to time. He didn't want them to repay him, but the other party respected him so much. Some embarrassment.
"Benefactor, my name is Jian Mi, and I live in a nearby village. You saved me, and I invite you to my house to drink the Baihua wine made by my mother." The boy from the mountain village looked at Ning Tao with longing eyes.
Ning Tao looked at Jian Mi's simple face with expectant eyes, he couldn't bear it, and finally said: "My name is Ning Tao, I came here to collect herbs, and it was just a coincidence that I met you, there is no need for you to let go." In my heart, let’s stop talking about gratitude and repayment, it’s a doctor’s bounden duty to heal the sick and save the sick.”
Although he said this, the rest of the people still thanked him and made a simple self-introduction.
The young man who woke up first came to Ning Tao and bowed deeply, "My name is Yang Chen, Doctor Ning, don't think I'm being polite, if you didn't treat me in time, my life would be here Yes. My child is only three months old, and you have saved two lives. From now on, as long as there is something that can help me, Yang Chen, feel free to speak up."
It can be seen that this Yang Chen is an upright person, Ning Tao smiled, "You're welcome." He changed the subject, "By the way, this is a primeval forest, why did you come here to do archaeology?"
The eyes of several archaeological team members subconsciously shifted to Ji Wengui, the captain of the archaeological team.
A troubled look appeared on Ji Wengui's face.
Ning Tao followed up and said, "If it's inconvenient, just pretend I didn't ask."
Ji Wengui hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Dr. Ning, I shouldn't have said it, but you saved our lives. It's a bit ignorant to talk about rules and regulations in front of you. Let me tell you Well, we obtained some information from some ancient historical books, and those information all point to an ancient and mysterious civilization, Yinyue City."
Ning Tao asked in surprise, "Yinyue City?"
Ji Wengui said: "The Yinyue people worship death and use living people to sacrifice. Every total solar eclipse is their festival. They built a city in Shennongjia. We have been looking for it for three years, but we still can't find it. The city."
Ning Tao was silent for a while before saying: "Although it is a bit inappropriate,
But I still want to say, Mr. Ji, the Yinyue City you mentioned may not exist, why do you insist on finding it? "
Ma Tongtong said: "Team Ji, let me tell you."
Ji Wengui nodded his head in agreement.
After getting permission, Ma Tongtong sorted out his thoughts a bit before saying: "According to those secret historical records, the Yinyue people disappeared during our Warring States period, but even in the Warring States period, the cities they built and the production they mastered The technology is even better than that of the Ming Dynasty a thousand years later. They mastered a kind of ore mining and smelting technology. Animals achieve wordless communication. We came here not only to find the city of the Yinyue people, but also to find that kind of ore. If it really exists, it will be the greatest discovery in the history of human archaeology."
Ning Tao said: "Miss Ma, isn't the Yinyue people you mentioned more powerful than the Mayans?"
Ma Tongtong nodded, "Yes, theoretically yes, but we have been searching in Shennongjia for three years without any results. The above said that if there is no progress, we will not be given funds."
Yang Chen sighed, "If we don't allocate funds to our team, our team will have to disband. I don't know how many years it will take for the Yinyue people's city to meet with the world, maybe never. "
In addition to the grace of saving their lives, the fate of being disbanded may also be the reason why they are willing to tell Ning Tao these secrets. However, despite hearing them say so much, Ning Tao is skeptical about the city and cloud ore of the Yinyue people. If there is really a city built by the Yinyue people in Shennongjia, with the current technology so advanced, is there any reason why they can't find it?
After hearing a few more words from the members of the archaeological team, Qing Zhui came out of the miasma, walking towards this side with a big snakeskin bag in one hand.
Several archaeologists looked at her with shocked eyes, each with expressions as if they had seen a ghost. They almost died in the miasma just now, but this woman with the snakeskin bag is fine! That look, that gait, it's like walking in the woods!
Ning Tao followed to divert the attention of several archaeologists, "Well, let me introduce to you, this is Qingzhui, she is my nurse. Both she and I have taken the antidote for miasma, so don't be surprised .”
Qing asked, "Brother Ning, who are they?"
Ning Tao said: "They are experts from the archaeological team." Then, he walked to Qing Zhui, took off his coat and handed it to Qing Zhui, "Give me the bag, and you tie my coat around your waist. You wear it It’s like this, and I’m not afraid of being laughed at.”
Qing Zhui giggled, "Okay, I'll just show you, it's not cheap for others."
Ning Tao, "..."
"Ah!" Ma Tongtong, who was the thinnest, sneezed.
Ning Tao wanted to hand over his coat to Slow, after all, Qing Zhui was not afraid of the cold, but before he opened his mouth or stretched out his hand, Qing Zhui had already tied his coat around his waist like an apron.
Ning Tao said: "Let's build a fire, and when the miasma disappears, we can go back to the village."
Jian Mi said: "Doctor Ning, come with us, I want to treat you to drink the Baihua wine brewed by my mother."
Ning Tao thought for a while, "Okay, I'll take you back to the village when the miasma clears up, it's safer that way."
"Okay, I'm going to gather wood and make a fire." Jian Mi looked very happy.
Yang Chen said, "I'll go with you."
The rest of the people sat on the ground, and Ning Tao took the two snakeskin bags to a corner away from the crowd, and then sorted out the herbs he had collected. He originally planned to return to the Tianwai Clinic immediately, but now he changed his plan because of this archaeological team.
Ten minutes later, a bonfire appeared on the hillside. It is a very dangerous thing to start a fire in the forest, but sometimes it has to be done in order to survive, because colds can sometimes kill people in such an environment.
Ning Tao and Qing Zhui also came to the campfire and chatted with the archaeological team.
Ning Tao thought of something for a while, and asked Qing Zhui in a low voice, "Do you know Yinyue people?"
Qing Zhui thought for a while before shaking his head, "I only know that there are yin and yang people, but I don't know that there are yin and moon people."
Ning Tao felt that he was asking in vain.
After chatting for a while, Qing Zhui lost interest, she slept on Ning Tao's shoulder, and later she simply fell on Ning Tao's lap, using Ning Tao's lap as her sleeping pillow. Ning Tao couldn't bear to wake her up, so he let her go. Later, he also fell asleep.
When I woke up, the sky was bright, the miasma disappeared, and the bonfire was also extinguished.
When Ning Tao opened his eyes, he saw a beautiful face with a trace of saliva hanging from the corner of his mouth, and he seemed to be sleeping soundly. Then he discovered that he and Qing Zhui were sleeping in each other's arms, he put his arms around Qing Zhui's waist, and Qing Zhui's leg was still pressed against his.
"I'm going, what happened?" Ning Tao was surprised, and hurriedly removed Qing Zhui's leg that was pressing on him, and then shook Qing Zhui again, "It's dawn, wake up!"
Qing Zhui's reaction was to lift that leg up and put it on his body again.
Ning Tao reached out and pinched her nose.
"Huh!" Qing Zhui opened his mouth and exhaled, then opened his eyes.
Ning Tao took the opportunity to move her legs away and got up from the ground. Several archaeological team members were lying beside the bonfire in disarray, not waking up yet. Ning Tao woke them up one by one, and said, "I'll take you back to the village, and you, Jian Mi, will lead the way."
"Okay." Jian Mi agreed.
Ji Wengui said: "Doctor Ning, let's go to the camp last night first. There are still some important things in the camp, and we have to get them back."
Ning Tao said: "Okay, then let's go to the camp first."
Returning to the camp, several archaeological team members entered the tent and moved all the contents out.
Ma Tongtong carried a very heavy box, but just as she came out of the tent, the box fell from her hands and fell to the ground. The zipper of the box broke open, and the books and materials inside, as well as the maps on the map, fell to the ground.
A plastic-covered photo just slipped in front of Ning Tao, and stopped when he touched his foot. His eyes moved to the plastic-enclosed photo, and he couldn't look away. He even forgot to breathe.
The content of the plastic-enclosed photo is an illustration of a woman with her head slightly raised, as if she is looking at something. Unfortunately, perhaps because of the age, her face was so blurry that she couldn't see clearly at all.
This illustration may be just a very ordinary illustration, but it has an extraordinary meaning to Ning Tao, because the woman in the illustration raises her head slightly, which is similar to the woman in red clothes he saw at the Japanese Consulate in Shancheng. Banshee in cheongsam is the same action. The woman in this illustration almost instantly brought back his memory of the woman in the red cheongsam!
"Sorry." Ma Tongtong's voice, she hurriedly picked up the books and treatments that fell on the ground.
"Let me help you." Ning Tao picked up the plastic-packed photo that fell on the floor, moved it to Ma Tongtong's side, and handed it to Ma Tongtong, "Miss Ma, where was this photo taken?"
Ma Tongtong took a look, "I photographed this in an ancient book."
"What ancient book?"
Ma Tongtong said: "That book is called "Biography of Yinyue", which was written by a novelist in the Ming Dynasty. In the book, he said that he had been to the city of Yinyue people, and there were many descriptions about Yinyue people. That book was collected In the museum. I borrowed it once because of my research on Yinyue people and took this photo."
Ning Tao said, "Can I read that book?"
Ma Tongtong thought for a while before saying: "If you want to see it, let me try to talk about it and borrow it again."
Ning Tao said, "Thank you."
After packing up his things, Ning Tao followed Jian Mi and the archaeological team to Woyun Village. All the way he was thinking about the woman in the red cheongsam.
