Rebirth 81: Being forced into marriage by my sister’s best friend at the beginning

They chatted for about half an hour, felt a little tired, and took a nap.

By noon, they had arrived at the small county town on the edge of Cangzhou.

Sure enough, as Lao Hei said, this place is a plain.

But Cangzhou was not without ancient tombs as he thought. Lin Ran remembered clearly that there were many famous tombs in Cangzhou.

For example, Ji Xiaolan's tomb.

Although there are not many famous mountains in Cangzhou, there are many great rivers.

It is not suitable for mountain burial, but in the wilderness, you may find a small mound at random, which contains a thousand-year-old tomb.

As early as the early 60s, someone discovered the tomb of Yin Jifu, a famous figure in the Western Zhou Dynasty, in the fields of Nanpi County.

And it was just a pile of sealed soil found in a field near the Beijing-Taiwan Expressway.

The village they were in now was called Fengshan Village. The villagers were very wary when they saw the bus coming from outside.

Finally, a man who looked like a village chief stood up and asked them what their purpose was.

Lao Hei pulled him aside and communicated with him in dialect.

He told them that they were here to do geographical research and asked if there were any minerals near Kanbei. They wanted to stay in the village for a few days.

In this era, it was normal for the geological team to search for minerals everywhere. If they found a mine here, it would be equivalent to finding a treasure for their village.

The village chief, who was a little wary at first, couldn't help but smile after hearing this.

He immediately arranged for them to stay in an unused house in the village. At first, he refused to accept the money. In the end, Lin Ran strongly demanded money, and he reluctantly agreed.

When leaving, it doesn't matter how long you have been told to stay. You must be clear about the nearby resources.

Liu Jingfeng used to go out on business trips in the name of tourism, but Lao Hei's rhetoric was more influential.

Lao Hei smiled calmly: "The main reason is that there are too many villages that have made their fortunes from mining. Everyone wants a piece of the pie. Greed is human nature."

He also has a very thorough view of human nature. It seems that he has experienced so many things and his experience is very profound.

Fengshan Village was where Ma Rubin told him to meet, and he was not sure whether it was the exact location of the tomb.

After looking at the nearby terrain, there was a small river surrounding the village. Not far away was a hill of more than 20 meters, and the rest was fields.

After the team members settled down, Lin Ran went to the canteen at the entrance of the village, called Ma Rubin, and told him that he was already here.

He and Guan Yun arrived at the entrance of the village and waited for about half an hour before they saw a dilapidated van running over.

A tall, thin man whom he did not recognize got out of the car, looking very wary.

He looked Lin Ran up and down and asked, "Are you Mr. Lin from Shengshi Craftsmanship?"

It seemed that the things in his car were very valuable, so he was very cautious.

"Yes." Lin Ran nodded and said the code they agreed on.

"Don't blame me for being abrupt, there have been too many things lately." The man smiled bitterly, and then parked the car at the entrance of their yard.

He took out a small bag from the car and followed Lin Ran in.

When they entered the room, Liu Jingfeng and the others were not in a hurry to go to bed, but were sorting out their tools.

The thin man was startled when he saw the room full of tools.

Because there are extremely professional tomb robbing equipment on the ground.

Luoyang shovel, machete, hiking boots, coarse cloth and hemp rope, mouse clothes...

Unexpectedly, the new Director Ma hired such a professional team of tomb robbers.

He couldn't help but worry that all the cultural relics inside might have been stolen by them.

As if he had read through his thoughts, Lin Ran put a hand on his shoulder and said with a smile: "We are just here to assist in archaeology. We will not take away any cultural relics that belong to the country."

Wang Jinpeng raised his head boredly, glanced at the thin man, and said, "Do you think we are the kind of people who are short of money?"

"No, no." The thin man smiled awkwardly, then took off his hat and said: "Let me introduce myself first. I am Zhao Lijie, a researcher of the third archaeological team of Hebei Archaeological Bureau. Due to some relationships, the archaeological team's People can’t come here, so I’m here to work with you.”

Lin Ran carefully discerned the trap in his words.

He had been tricked by Bo Gu before, because the other party was not invited by Tang Lanxuan at all.

The code just now not only confirmed the identity of the other party, but also Lin Ran.

This man spoke rather anxiously, rather like a scholar.

I can't figure out the problem right now.

After he introduced himself, he took the thing and placed it on the only table in the room.

I saw that this bronze statue was strange, it turned out to be an animal face.

But it's not quite a beast. Its brows and eyes have been specially trimmed. In fashionable terms, it's the head of an orc.

"Mr. Lin, I heard that you cracked the secret on the inscription and mentioned the key and the bronze statue. Director Ma sent me to bring the things over." He said, "I wonder what Mr. Lin thinks?"

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Guan Yun pinned him down on the table.

"do not move!"

The situation suddenly changed and everyone in the room was shocked.

"Guan Yun, what are you doing?" Lin Ran asked with a frown.

I saw Guan Yun pressing Zhao Lijie on the table and turning his clothes over.

Then from his pants pocket, he took out a tiny device that looked like a radio and it was buzzing.

He slapped the equipment on the table in front of Zhao Lijie and asked coldly: "Why did you bring the recording equipment?"

The others suddenly took a breath of cold air, and the last time they were cheated by Bogu came to their eyes.

They gradually became angry: "Are you from the treasure hunt party?"

"Unjustly accused!" Zhao Lijie yelled, but Guan Yun choked him.

Guan Yun whispered in a threatening tone: "If you dare to let people outside hear it, you will be dead. Who are you communicating with?"

This is a radio system that Guan Yun has seen too many times in the army before.

This kind of exquisite equipment is still extremely rare among Chinese people.

Lin Ran also immediately felt that Zhao Lijie was an insider of the treasure hunting party, so he did not stop Guan Yun's behavior.

In the end, Zhao Lijie's face turned red and he was choked so hard that he couldn't breathe.

He brought the device to his mouth and whispered: "Director, I am dying."

Guan Yun grabbed the radio and said inside: "Who are you? Why are you eavesdropping on us?"

After a while, intermittent sounds came from inside.

Although it was mixed with the sound of electricity, Lin Ran still recognized it as Ma Rubin's voice.

"Of course I can't completely trust you, but don't worry, I arranged for Zhao Lijie." Ma Rubin still looked like he was being dragged to death, and then reported the secret code for his and Lin Ran's connection, "Pagoda to suppress the river demon."

Sure enough, it was Ma Rubin.

He didn't know what this sentence meant, nor could people of this era understand it. Only Lin Ran knew why he used this line as a code.
