[Rat cat] Mirror City

On the second day, Gongsun Ce specially approved Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang's vacation, and dragged Bao Zheng to participate in the excavation early.Originally, with the qualifications of the three of them, Gongsun Ce, they could not go. Even if they wanted to go more, they would supervise and guide others.

But even if Gongsun and the others wanted to participate, no one would think it was strange, so when they saw Gongsun Ce and Bao Zheng appearing at the entrance of the tomb, no one would think it was strange, except for Cui Ming.

After Gongsun Ce and Bao Zheng entered the tomb, Cui Ming kept looking towards the entrance of the tomb, but he never saw Zhan Zhao, why didn't he come?Cui Ming frowned, with an unconcealable disappointment in his heart.

Although he knew that he was not qualified to ask about Zhan Zhao's whereabouts, Cui Ming stepped forward and asked Gongsun Ce, "Professor Gongsun, why is Assistant Professor Zhan not here?"

Although Gongsun Ce has strict requirements on students and behaves relatively indifferently, he is very caring for students. This is why many students choose him as an instructor even though Gongsun Ce is notoriously difficult to deal with.

Cui Ming was an excellent student, and he was also very active. The other teachers appreciated him very much, and Gongsun naturally noticed him.But Gongsun Ce always didn't like him very much, and Cui Ming always made him feel uneasy.

But whether he likes it or not, Gongsun Ce always looks calm on the surface, "I asked him to stay at the lodging to help me tidy up and go to work."

After hearing Gongsun Ce's answer, Cui Ming curled his lips unhappily, as if he was preparing his words for the next question.What Gongsun Ce was most afraid of was this kind of meaningless question after another. As soon as he took a step back, Bao Zheng held his shoulder.

Hurry up and help.Gongsun Ce bumped Bao Zheng with his elbow without showing any emotion, seeking Bao Zheng's help.Bao Zheng grasped Gongsun Ce's hand knowingly, "Student Cui, it seems that they are urging you to work."

Suddenly a third person entered the conversation, and Cui Ming's thoughts were interrupted at once, and he was induced by Bao Zheng's words to look back, and sure enough someone was urging him to go back.Reluctantly, Cui Ming returned to his position.

Gongsun Ce could finally breathe a sigh of relief, but he heard Bao Zheng "tsk tsk" behind him, and when he turned around, he saw Bao Zheng shaking his head there.

Bao Zheng crossed his arms and said helplessly, "This kid has a good eye, but it's a pity that Bai Yutang dumped him for several blocks. It's a pity."

"What are you thinking about?" Seeing Bao Zheng's expression of regret, Gongsun Ce gave him a sideways glance, "Concentrate on my work."

Bao Zheng immediately caught up with Gongsun Ce, and rubbed his shoulders, "Where is it? Gongsun, don't pretend to be stupid, can't you see such a thing?"

Holding Gongsun Ce's shoulder, Bao Zheng leaned over to see Gongsun Ce's expression.Seeing that Gongsun Ce had no intention of answering, Bao Zheng continued to use his skill of "asking for answers with shamelessness", "Tell me, can you tell!"

"Nonsense, such a trivial matter, I don't see who else can see it, and they have lived for 30 years." Impatiently being pestered by Bao Zheng, Gongsun Ce still told the truth, and impatiently warned Bao Zheng to be serious. point.

"That's that, who is Professor Gongsun, who knows everything, how could he not notice such trivial things." Bao Zheng stared at Gongsun Ce, and his tone slowed down from the initial casualness. Slow, with seriousness that cannot be ignored.

Gongsun Ce suddenly felt that he couldn't move his whole body. He could get used to Bao Zheng's cynicism, he could get used to Bao Zheng's sternness, but he couldn't stand Bao Zheng's seriousness, really couldn't stand it.

Seeing Gongsun Ce's rare cringe, Bao Zheng bent down and pressed Gongsun Ce's forehead, "Professor Gongsun, don't you think so?"

"..." There was really nothing he could do about Bao Zheng Gongsun Ce. Just as he was about to beg Bao Zheng for mercy, he saw Bao Zheng looking at him with a smile, and his original serious expression disappeared without a trace. And the pressure to hold yourself back.

Then, Gongsun realized the current situation... being tricked, "Is it fun to trick me?" Intentionally ignoring the feeling of relief, Gongsun Ce did not hesitate to use all the tricks that Bao Zheng gave him. On Bao Zheng's body.

Bao Zheng hid while laughing, and at the same time spurned in his heart his cold escape, forget it, who made him not willing to force Gongsun Ce.

After all, there were other people there, and it was also a workplace, so Gongsun Ce quickly stopped. As a revenge, he started to give Bao Zheng more work, but Bao Zheng just touched his nose, and went to work with a playful smile.

Although the tomb was concealed by Gongsun Ce this time, and the downhill design has brought great obstacles to the development, the contents of the tomb have already satisfied the working group. After discovering that the two sarcophagi are After the empty coffin, they decided not to transport out the sarcophagus after comprehensive consideration of various conditions.

Seeing them take the things out of the tomb contentedly, Bao Zheng shook his head, leaned into Gongsun Ce's ear and whispered, "Just a few things can make them happy like this, if they know about the tomb at the back, Isn't that crazy?"

"Well...in order to save medical equipment and contribute to all mankind, please let him rot in your stomach." No one has discovered the secret of the wall so far, and Gongsun Ce's tense nerves relaxed a little. I also got a little mood to joke with Bao Zheng.

Seeing that Gongsun Ce had relaxed, Bao Zheng also chatted with him casually. Of course, the two of them never took their attention away from their work.

What makes them most fortunate is that no one was interested in that wall during the entire work process.But to be honest, most people really don't have any interest in one side.

"I really admire the designer of this tomb." Gongsun Ce carefully controlled his volume so that only Bao Zheng could hear him, "But I don't understand. Who else would know the opening mechanism of this tomb besides us?"

"That's right, who else in this world will go like you and Zhan Zhao..." Originally, Bao Zheng wanted to tease Gongsun Ce, but a flash of light flashed in his mind while speaking, "Gongsun, I know."

"Speak softly!" Although everyone in the tomb had evacuated, there was no guarantee that Bao Zheng's voice would not be noticed by others.After waiting quietly for a while, after making sure that no one had returned, Gongsun Ce asked cautiously, "What do you know?"

"I'm going to make sure. You are here to watch out for me." The situation is quite tense now, and it will not be so convenient to re-enter after leaving this tomb, so Bao Zheng asked Gongsun Ce to hit the wall went in.

Bao Zheng used [-]% strength, Gongsun Ce couldn't help worrying after seeing it, did he hit too hard when he just took it down... Worried about Bao Zheng, Gongsun Ce gave Bao Zheng a warning.

Unlike Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce's tense situation, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang's situation is already relaxed to the point of almost letting go.

Unlike Gongsun Ce and the others who got up early, it may be because he was too tired in the tomb the day before, and Zhan Zhao slept until the sun was shining in the morning.

Bai Yutang opened the door and walked into the room, and saw the lazy cat wrapped in the quilt, with only one head sticking out, the soft hair was in a mess, and the big and lively eyes were now narrowed into a line, looking around lazily, As if grasping the current situation.

If you add two cat ears to Zhan Zhao's hair, maybe it will be more vivid.Bai Yutang could even imagine that the cat's tail under the quilt was wagging and brushing against the quilt.

Everything seemed to be catering to Bai Yutang's imagination, Zhan Zhao stretched on the bed, completely developing in the direction Bai Yutang imagined.

It's really like having a pet.Bai Yutang sat by the bed and patted Zhan Zhao's messy head.Taking advantage of the last moment of confusion, Zhan Zhao rubbed Bai Yutang's hand, "I overslept."

"Yeah. Gongsun and Bao Zheng have already left, get up." Handing the clothes on the bedside table to Zhan Zhao, Bai Yutang watched Zhan Zhao change the clothes.

While Zhan Zhao was making the bed, Bai Yutang handed him the breakfast that he had brought, and Zhan Zhao opened his mouth accordingly and swallowed.Seeing that it was almost time to feed the cat, Bai Yutang wiped his hands, "Let's go find that kid you mentioned."

Zhan Zhao told him about seeing the child last night, and Bai Yutang was also a little concerned about that child.Although Zhan Zhao described the child's appearance and clothes, all the children in the village looked like this, so they decided to ask the surrounding villagers.

But it didn’t go well at the beginning, because the child was relatively quiet and didn’t play much with children of the same age. Most of the time he ran around by himself and was very shy. No one knew where to find the child .

This answer disappointed Zhan Zhao, so Bai Yutang accompanied Zhan Zhao to wander around the village.This village is not big, maybe you can see that girl while walking. With such expectation, the two of them walked up and down the path.

This village has always been quiet and leisurely, and I didn't see anyone on the road. Similarly, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang didn't see the child either.

Just when the two were disappointed, they heard a sound coming through the trees next to them.Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang saw a little girl hiding behind a tree at the same time, looking at them carefully.

"It's her." Zhan Zhao blurted out.The girl ran away after hearing Zhan Zhao's words, followed by Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang.

The little girl was small in stature and familiar with the roads in the village, and when she ran away, she always went to the weeds and paths. Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang had a little difficulty in catching up with her, and they almost lost her a few times.

The more the little girl avoided the two of them like this, the more Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang felt that something was wrong. "Kitten Zhan." Bai Yutang yelled at Zhan Zhao, and then ran into another path. Zhan Zhao understood and continued chasing the girl.

Although the child ran fast, he kept turning his head and peeking during the escape.She clearly remembered that there were two people chasing her before, but now looking back, there was only one person left.

What about the other big brother?When the little girl was doubting, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a white shadow jumping out from the side.Startled, the child almost fell down, but luckily Bai Yutang caught him in time.

"Don't move." Bai Yutang hugged the girl, carefully controlling his strength not to hurt her, "Zhan Xiaomao, is it this girl?"

After all, the child was timid, and she had exhausted her strength from running before. Although Bai Yutang didn't hurt her, she was still trembling with fear because of her tiredness and Bai Yutang's cold voice.

Bai Yutang couldn't react to the sudden change in the child's mood, seeing Zhan Zhao approaching, he hastily and innocently pouted at Zhan Zhao, "I don't know anything, I didn't do anything to this child.

"I told this big brother to let go of you, don't run away, okay? We won't hurt you." Zhan Zhao coaxed the girl.Seeing the girl nodding obediently, Bai Yutang let go of her, but he was still careful not to let the child escape.

Zhan Zhao took a breath, squatted down, and finally saw the child's face clearly, "Ah... I remember you." Zhan Zhao's voice was filled with a smile, and he successfully attracted the attention of the little girl and Bai Yutang .

Seeing the little wreath on the little girl's hand, Zhan Zhao relaxed, "Do you still remember me?" Zhan Zhao pointed to himself, then to the wreath on the child's hand, and the little girl also looked at the wreath on her wrist , seems to have calmed down a lot.

It seems that the child likes this wreath very much. Zhan Zhao finally found a way to communicate with the child, "I gave you this wreath just a few days ago."

The girl finally calmed down completely, looked at Zhan Zhao timidly, and nodded after hesitating for a long time.

"So you know each other." Bai Yutang glanced at Huahuan and Zhan Zhao, and said coolly.The little girl was startled when she heard Bai Yutang's voice, and immediately hid behind Zhan Zhao, clutching the hem of Zhan Zhao's clothes, not daring to come out.

Bai Yutang immediately became depressed. Is it the child who is afraid of life or he is too fierce... Thinking of this, Bai Yutang couldn't help touching his face, is it really so fierce?

Zhan Zhao quickly stopped Bai Yutang's self-denial, and patted the little girl on the head, "Don't be afraid, this brother is my good friend. Although he looks cold and a bit fierce, he is a good man."

Coaxed by Zhan Zhao, the little girl poked her head out, hesitating whether to come out or not.Given that he had already scared her, Bai Yutang reluctantly remained still, and then glared at Zhan Zhao, who is the worst?Who is cold?

Zhan Zhao stuck out his tongue and continued to coax innocently, "This brother is called Bai Yutang. Look, he just wants to talk to you just like me. Although he grabbed you, he didn't hurt you, right? It's just him Habits, in fact, people are very gentle."

Zhan Zhao looked at Bai Yutang, look, look, I praise you.

Bai Yutang turned his head away, who would believe this kind of insincere praise, it's just for deceiving children.

Zhan Zhao looked at Bai Yutang discouragedly, it was all right now, he didn't coax the big and the small.But the little girl, after hearing Zhan Zhao's words, mustered up her courage and walked out.

Both Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at her in surprise, seeing that she was still shy, Zhan Zhao took the girl's hand, "Don't be afraid, let's talk, shall we?"

"May I call you girl, everyone seems to call you that... Yesterday outside the village chief's house, do you have something to tell me?" Zhan Zhao asked softly.Seeing that Zhan Zhao's hair was stuck to his forehead, Bai Yutang reached out to help Zhan Zhao brush his hair aside.

The little girl stared at Bai Yutang's movements curiously, her eyes sparkling.Hearing Zhan Zhao asking herself, the little girl nodded, remembering that she ran away yesterday, she looked at Zhan Zhao apologetically, "I'm sorry, brother cat... I ran away suddenly."

Brother Cat?Who is Brother Cat!Zhan Zhao was scoffed at by the little girl's address, but Bai Yutang felt good about Zhan Zhao's reaction, so he asked a question before Zhan Zhao went berserk, of course... controlled his tone, "Why did you Running away suddenly? Also, what do you want to tell this brother cat?"

Zhan Zhao also temporarily jumped out of the address question, looking at the little girl curiously.The little girl became much quieter, and became more courageous. She stretched out her hand and pulled Zhan Zhao's sleeve to make Zhan Zhao sit down. With the two adults looking down on her, she would want to run away again.

Zhan Zhao also realized that his and Bai Yutang's standing postures were wrong, and they sat beside the little girl. "Is that okay?" Zhan Zhao rubbed the little girl's head encouragingly.

"Brothers, are you here for the big tomb on the mountain?" The little girl's voice sounded innocent.

"Well, that's not a tomb, it's a tomb." Zhan Zhao corrected the little girl subconsciously, "That's right, we need to take the things in the tomb back to study."

"But if it's like this, aren't the people sleeping in it very pitiful? The house has been destroyed." The little girl honestly doesn't like this kind of behavior.

The little girl's words reminded Zhan Zhao of a question he asked Gongsun Ce a long time ago, why can't a person die well after death?

At that time, he still couldn't accept that they had developed one after another tombs. The tombs were supposed to be places where people could sleep forever, but asking for a peaceful sleep in a pure land should be what everyone would hope for before they die, right?But their behavior disturbed this pure land again and again.

Archeology or tomb robbery, no matter what the intention is, always cross this line.This was not his original intention. For a long time, Zhan Zhao was so trapped by this thought that he couldn't get out, and he was so guilty that he couldn't move an inch.

He asked himself again and again, but hit a dead end again and again.Finally, he asked Gongsun Ce for help.After Gongsun Ce heard this question, he was silent for a long time, and finally told himself that he was also confused.Obviously at the beginning, their goal was just to explore the past, they just wanted to know.

That day, Gongsun Ce didn't really answer his question, but just told him, "Zhan Zhao, you know, we are stuck in an endless loop because we always want to find a reason to explain our actions, to prove that we are not wrong .”

"But in fact, we did it wrong."

It was also that day that Zhan Zhao walked out of his own trap.If you did something wrong, admit it.No matter what others think, they should also have such awareness.

"It's our fault. It's disturbing the sleeping people. We'll try not to disturb them." There are some things they can't stop.So at the very least, they must maintain the highest respect for the owner of the tomb, and never touch the bottom line unless it is absolutely necessary, and do not disturb their sleep.

"Well, brother cat also has to work... um." In the child's world, there can't be too much entanglement. Now that I apologize, I won't be angry anymore.

"Well, thank you." Zhan Zhao was very happy even if he only got the understanding of someone who had nothing to do with it, "We have a large number of people here, and we still live in your village just for the tomb on the mountain. It’s a lot of trouble, you haven’t encountered this situation before, have you?”

"No." Hearing what Zhan Zhao said, the little girl shook her head and held Zhan Zhao's hand.Zhan Zhao looked at her in surprise, what wasn't it?Could it be that someone came to this village before they came...

"Well... before the brothers came, there were people who came here." The little girl wanted to tell Zhan Zhao about this matter, and she spoke intermittently. Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang couldn't rush her, so they waited patiently for her explain.

"A few uncles have been here, and they live at the village chief's uncle's house." The village chief's house is also the house that Zhan Zhao and the others are currently borrowing. Speaking of this, Zhan Zhao understood that the girl did not run away for no reason that day, but Because at that time the village head and his wife just came back?

"Those uncles stayed at the village chief's uncle's house for a few days, and then left." The little girl's speech was a bit jumpy, and Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were a little unable to react, but the little girl's next words answered their questions .

"I saw them that day. They went up the mountain after leaving the village, and it took a long time for them to come down."
