"Here, thank you."
Professor Chen returned the wine pot to Zhou Xun.
"Comrade Little Zhou, if it weren't for you today, my old bones might have been left in the desert and dried into a mummy. Thank you, thank you!”
Professor Chen put his palms together and thanked him.
"It's okay. It's nothing. Professor Chen, don't worry!”Zhou Xun laughed.
"Alright, eat and drink your fill. Everyone, get ready to rest! Young men, come over. Let's confirm the shift.”
After Zhou Xun arranged the shift order and time with everyone, everyone began to tidy up their sleeping bags.
"Fatty, let's bury the bones. It's awkward to leave them here.”Old Hu said to Fatty beside him after tidying up his sleeping bag.
"Alright, then bury them there. We can't get out of here either.”
Fatty casually pointed to an empty tunnel.
"Good!"
The two of them arrived at the place that Fatty had casually pointed out.
One began to dig a hole, while the other wrapped the bones in cloth.
Suddenly, Old Hu, who was digging the pit, seemed to have dug something hard.”。
"What's wrong? What happened?" Fatty was puzzled.
"That's impossible. This house shouldn't be so short!”Old Hu was also puzzled.
"Is there something down there? Let me take a look at it for you!”
Fatty turned on the flashlight and shone it on the small pit.
Old Hu used his hand to dig all the sand around the thing to the side.
"Black stone egg?" Fatty said gloomily.
The commotion here also attracted the attention of the people who were preparing to rest. Everyone came over to watch.
"Who cares what it is? Let's dig it out first.”
After Fatty finished speaking, he began to dig.
Zhou Xun looked at the curious crowd and sighed in his heart. Sigh, curiosity killed the cat. However, he did not stop it. It was probably useless to stop it at this time. After all, who could stop human curiosity?
"This looks like a head!"
"But this thing is too ugly."
Fatty looked at the head of the stone statue and complained.
"This looks like a god statue worshiped in a mountain temple!”Old Hu guessed.
"Don't move, don't move, don't move.”An Liman saw that everyone was watching and was worried to come over to take a look. He quickly gestured.
Then, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the head of the stone statue to apologize!
"Ignore him!" Fatty, as a citizen of the new society, did not care about this at all.
"Aiguo, have we seen this kind of stone statue somewhere before?”Professor Chen looked at the stone statue carefully. The more he looked at it, the more familiar it became.
"Yes, in XJ's Thousand Coffins Grave, there seems to be one that is exactly the same as his. The eyes are abnormally large and different from ordinary people. This should be the giant pupil stone statue!”
Professor Hao was younger. After Professor Chen's reminder, he immediately remembered where he had seen him before.
"It's not just that place. We've found this kind of giant pupil stone statue in XJ's Tianshan, Altay, Hetian River, and our grasslands.”Professor Chen also remembered.
"Professor Chen, what is the origin of this stone statue?”Xue Li Yang asked, wanting to see if it had anything to do with Jingjue Ancient City.
"The archeological community has different opinions on the origin of this stone statue. Some scholars have suggested that it was a god worshipped by the people of the steppe, but others say that it was left behind by the ancient Turks.”
Professor Chen adjusted his glasses and said awkwardly.
"Professor, since this statue is so mysterious, why don't we dig it out and take a look?”Chu Jian suggested.
"No, no, this is arranged by the gods. If you move recklessly, you will be punished by the gods.”An Liman stopped him.
"This is scientific research.”Professor Hao said angrily.
"What I mean is that we shouldn't move around. This stone statue gives me a dangerous feeling. It's a sandstorm outside. If something happens, we won't be able to run.”Zhou Xun also stopped him.
"Old Master, your God is too much. God can't control us.”
Zhou Xun was amused by the word 'god'.
"I think it's not wrong to listen to Master Zhou. If there's any danger, we won't be able to escape.”Old Hu believed in Zhou Xun and suggested.
"Yes, yes, I'll listen to Master Zhou." Fatty hurriedly said.
Even Zhou Xun could sense the danger, but the crowd didn't think that he was just spouting nonsense. After all, everyone had witnessed Zhou Xun's abilities along the way.
"Since Comrade Little Zhou has said so, we won't move first. Let's wait for the storm outside to stop. Let's go and rest!”
Professor Chen said.
"Then everyone should go and rest. Fatty and I will bury that bone.”Old Hu waved at Fatty.
At night, everyone rested. Zhou Xun took over the night watch.
He lit a cigarette and started smoking.
Thinking back to his time in the Grave Robbing World, every day was indeed exciting.
One's life was not in vain.
However, Zhou Xun was stunned when he saw Xue Li Yang walking over. What's going on? Why aren't you looking for Old Hu?
Xue Li Yang was wearing leather pants as she strode over to Zhou Xun's side and said,""Captain Johnson, go to sleep. I'll keep watch for you.”
"No need. I just started. You should go back and rest.”Zhou Xun was stunned.
"I'm sorry!"
"What?" Zhou Xun continued to be confused. Shouldn't he say thank you?
"At first, I was very worried about letting you be the leader. I doubted your ability. After all, you were too young. However, after seeing your ability and knowledge along the way, I was very glad that I made the choice back then.”Xue Li Yang laughed.
