Chapter 1178: Being kicked out of the village
More than 30 people suddenly disappeared?
Lin Ran thought just now that the village chief was just scaring him, but now that he mentioned it again, it was most likely true.
The village chief pointed to the south and said: "If you walk about ten kilometers along this road, you can see their camps. But they are all empty. I took the villagers to check. Some of them have not been cleaned. There are worms in the bowl. In another week, we have to clear out the campground. All this garbage."
His last words were a double entendre.
He turned around and returned the money to Lin Ran, "I won't do your business, so you should leave quickly."
The actions of Lao Hei and Wang Jinpeng angered the village chief.
The more secluded the village chief, the higher his power and status.
Since he rejected everyone's request to move in, everyone had no choice but to drive away.
"Where are we going now?" A Ming asked while driving.
The area around the village was considered a small plain on the mountain, but he still drove with trepidation, frightened by the constantly surrounding mountain roads.
We drove cautiously into the wild.
Sure enough, we saw the camp the village chief mentioned.
However, compared with various convenient tents in later generations, their camp was very simple. It was just a transparent tarpaulin with some leaves draped on it as a shield.
You should be able to place two or three bamboo mats under each tarpaulin, and light mosquito coils outside to create a simple camp.
The conditions were primitive and, from their point of view, unknown and somewhat terrifying.
Xu Ning's face turned pale again, "Let's stay somewhere else, see people."
Wang Jinpeng signaled A Ming to stop the car.
"What do you want to do?" A Ming braked suddenly and drove on the mountain. His muscles were tense and he was always in a state of tension.
When Wang Jinpeng yelled like this, he was instantly frightened.
Only then did Wang Jinpeng realize his loud voice. He rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment and said with a smile, "Let's go to their camp to explore. Maybe there will be any important clues?"
Xu Ning immediately shook his head and said: "No, aren't they all dead?"
Lao Hei chuckled: "There was something wrong with that old man just now. He was most likely trying to scare us. Maybe these people are in the tomb now and are just trapped."
The situation he mentioned has been encountered by everyone present.
Thinking that it made sense, he nodded.
But Xu Ning refused to come close to him, and he happened to need to leave someone alone in the car.
Therefore, the five people were ready. With Wang Jinpeng leading the way, they slowly approached the temporary camp.
Just as the village chief said, a stench greeted us as we approached the temporary camp.
There was a bonfire in the center of the camp, which had been extinguished.
There were several Tang porcelain bowls scattered around the bonfire, with some minced meat and vegetables inside. They were thrown aside without eating.
"Not a native master." Lao Hei said.
Tufuzi has always been particular about stealthy actions, not to mention that he would not camp outside the village in front of the villagers, nor would he leave food everywhere.
Because in a sense, they are also "grave robbers".
Since he is a thief, he naturally needs to be more concealed.
The people in this camp don't look like they're going to a grave, but like they're on vacation.
Lin Ran felt the same way.
But the camp was deserted, just as the village chief said.
They entered the temporary tent and searched for relevant clues.
Lin Ran went to the largest tent, which should be a tent for boss-level people.
Because there was only one bamboo mat on the ground, and there were at least two in the other tents.
But apart from some unused dishes and chopsticks, no other clues were found in the tent.
He lifted up the bamboo mat and saw the shadow of a person on the ground.
There is a lot of moisture in the mountains. If people sleep on the ground, the moisture will gather together.
The height of a person can be judged by the shadow on the ground.
Thick and strong, a big guy.
The investigation of others was also hindered, and tools and backpacks were probably taken away before going to the tomb.
Even if they are not taken away, they will be taken away by the villagers.
Just when a few people felt that they had returned in vain, Hong Wu made a discovery in the tent on the side.
"What is this?" Hongwu took out a wooden bracelet from the tent.
A bracelet composed of mahogany and obsidian, usually used as an amulet.
Wang Jinpeng's eyes widened when he saw the bracelet.
He snatched the bracelet and fumbled around on it.
Finally, he said in an urgent voice: "Brother Lin, this is the boss's bracelet."
He turned the bracelet over, and one of the beads was engraved with the word "Feng".
They didn't stop for a moment and came to the tent where Hongwu found the bracelet.
This tent is very small and faces away from everyone.
At first, everyone thought it was just a bathroom, but they didn't expect it to be a whole other world.
"Brother Lin, is this the support you are talking about?" Lao Hei asked.
Now that the matter has come to this, Lin Ran no longer hides it from everyone.
"Brother Liu left me a letter and mentioned in the letter that they have realized who is tracking the ancient tomb. Even if they cannot decipher the contents of the note, they can find the ancient tomb through other methods."
"That's why I concluded that they might be in danger. At the same time, the Ministry of Culture and Literature also captured a mysterious pottery figurine." Lin Ran opened his backpack and took out the strange pottery figurine.
Except for Lao Hei, everyone else had incomprehensible expressions.
"Yuancai figurines? Were they dug out from here?"
"I'm just guessing." Lin Ran said that they only mentioned going to Gansu in their letters at that time.
But the specific location was not indicated.
Lin Ran could only take a gamble, but unexpectedly he got it right.
In fact, some key information is still not connected, but now is not the time to consider these things.
Seeing Liu Jingfeng's bracelet, everyone stopped their joking expressions.
According to the village chief, this group of people had disappeared for two weeks.
What does it mean to be trapped in an ancient tomb for two weeks?Everyone knows it.
"Boss will be fine." Wang Jinpeng put the bracelet in his pocket and said to A Ming, "Let's go to the ancient tomb now!"
"Wait a minute." Lin Ran stopped his impulsive behavior.
Wang Jinpeng was displeased and said: "Brother Lin, you asked us to save the boss, why did you stop me?"
"It's been two weeks. We've missed the golden rescue period a long time ago. What does it matter if we have one more day?" Lin Ran pressed Wang Jinpeng's hand down and said, "After a day of traveling and traveling, our bodies are already very tired. Well, it’s better to recharge your batteries.”
Lao Hei nodded: "Brother Lin is right."
Wang Jinpeng sighed, his body was indeed not feeling well.
Although he temporarily suppressed his dizziness because of his anger.
However, a tired body will not deceive itself.
