Chapter 1200: Entering the village to find someone
"Look at you, can you say something nice?" Wang Jinpeng glanced at Xu Ning, who was trembling next to him.
In fact, sometimes he couldn't understand how a person who was so timid and afraid of ghosts could become a peasant.
But the rule in this industry is not to ask about the past.
They are now in the same boat and can only choose to trust each other.
Lin Ran took the ruby and came to a quieter place.
I closed my eyes and said silently in my heart: "If you are really useful, please show me the real history."
Following the steps in the book, I entered a state of dreaming and waking.
In the vision, I saw a group of strangely dressed people.
The man had a cloth tied on his head, a knife at his waist, and a felt hanging down to the ground.
The woman's hair looked like it had been permed, twisted into strands, and hung down like a horse's mane.
"Your Majesty, what you want has been built."
A craftsman knelt on the ground and handed the ruby to the man sitting on the gem throne.
He was dressed luxuriously, and his status was immediately obvious.
But his face was solemn and he said: "This battle with Jingjue will be a disaster. Take the prince and leave, and take your things with you."
"Your Majesty, it is absolutely impossible."
"This matter is non-negotiable, just do as I say! As long as we have these two gems, we will have another chance!"
At this time, he suddenly turned around and saw a man rushing in at the gate.
His appearance actually gave Lin Ran a feeling of déjà vu.
Isn't this the "zongzi" just now?
"Father, the child will not leave."
"This matter is beyond your control!"
...
Finally, Lin Ran saw him being dragged out by the general.
The general behind him also took two gems with him when he left.
The scene is getting blurry, but the luster of the two gems can be clearly seen.
One red and one green.
Lin Ran suddenly woke up from his dream and sat up.
When he came to his senses, the sun was already high in the sky.
Wang Jinpeng was napping next to him. When he heard Huang Hao calling him, he wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth and stood up immediately.
"Brother Lin, are you awake?" Wang Jinpeng said in surprise, "Look at you, you have so much nosebleeds, you scared us to death."
Others also woke up from their sleep.
Last night, Lin Ran said he wanted to do an appraisal, but it turned out that he was holding the stone as if he was asleep.
Because Liu Jingfeng told them in advance not to disturb Lin Ran, no one bothered him no matter what his appearance was, they just stood guard.
But after a while, Lin Ran started to have nosebleeds.
They were frightened and hurriedly came up to wipe his nosebleed. Wang Jinpeng originally wanted to shake him awake, but Liu Jingfeng stopped him. He remembered Lin Ran said that no matter what happened, don't wake him up.
He didn't know what Lin Ran wanted to do, but he trusted Lin Ran from the bottom of his heart.
As the night got darker, they took turns keeping watch.
It's morning now.
Xu Ning went to the village to buy some food, but the villagers did not welcome them. He saw hares in the woods before, so he went hunting with Lao Hei.
I thought I would wait for the food to come back before trying to wake Lin Ran up, but I didn't expect him to wake up first.
Lin Ran looked at the red-stained handkerchief, but he seemed very calm.
He has known for a long time that this is the side effect of the secret technique of treasure appraisal, and now his head hurts very much.
At this time, Xu Ning and Lao Hei, who had gone hunting, also came back.
Seeing Lin Ran wake up, they hurried forward and showed concerned expressions.
"Are you okay?"
"It's okay." Lin Ran smiled, "This gem is indeed an ancient product, but it's different from what we thought. It's not a gem from the Yuan Dynasty."
"Oh? But the local masters all heard that there is only one ancient tomb of the Yuan Dynasty here." Liu Jingfeng was a little confused as to how Lin Ran could tell the age.
Lin Ran laughed dryly, it was really hard to explain this matter.
But there was one thing he had confirmed.
The reason why they felt that this ruby looked familiar was because outside the underground palace, they looked up and saw a dragon statue with a green bead on it.
That is the orb corresponding to him.
The dragon has one claw, holding the green gemstone, and the other claw is empty.
At that time, Lin Ran felt a little strange and thought it was some kind of custom.
Looking at it now, the other claw should be holding the ruby.
If possible, put the ruby back and I believe all problems will be solved.
However, it is not easy to convince everyone to go back.
They came to the river, lit up the fire, and planned to roast the rabbit directly.
At this time, Lin Ran said to Liu Jingfeng: "Brother Liu, please come with me to the village chief's house."
"Why are you still going to his house? That attitude yesterday." Liu Jingfeng felt that even if they went back, the village chief would not look down upon them well.
It would be difficult to get information from him.
"We have to go and verify something." Lin Ran said, "We must have stayed at the entrance of the village for a day and a night. Don't you think it's strange?"
"strangeness?"
"Yes, did you see vehicles entering or exiting, or other people leaving?"
These words made Liu Jingfeng a little scared.
They originally planned to find a car to go down the mountain today, and then think about it after returning to town.
Don't worry about money.
Staying one night at the entrance of the village was also based on this consideration.
However, just as Lin Ran said, no villagers were seen coming in or out.
Even at the entrance of the village, where aunts usually sit and chat, I didn’t see them coming out today.
The weather today is particularly good, the sun is shining brightly.
Did Lin Ran discover something?
Considering this, Liu Jingfeng no longer shied away, but nodded, "Okay, Brother Lin, I'll go with you."
After telling others to prepare lunch, they entered the village again.
The village was unusually quiet. Everyone stayed in their own homes, with their doors closed.
It seems that the arrival of these tomb robbers has brought strong uneasiness to the villagers, so the villagers are reluctant to go out.
Lin Ran and the other two arrived at the door of the village chief's house and knocked directly on his iron door.
The village chief's house is also closed.
"Something's wrong." Lin Ran said, "You said you wanted to go shopping in the village. Have you met the villagers?"
"No." Liu Jingfeng said, "As you can see, no matter how hard we knock on the door, there is no response."
"Have you not noticed that there is a shelf like this at the door of every house?" Lin Ran pointed to a wooden stick cut into the shape of a protective suit in the yard and said.
It looks like a cross with a circle on it.
This symbol, full of religious rituals, instantly caught Lin Ran's attention.
But they were too hungry in the morning to notice any of this.
Liu Jingfeng's face looked a little solemn: "What does this mean?"
