But what is certain is that the two of them definitely have no good intentions.
Wen Qi frowned, took out his cell phone and sent a message to Han Zhen, telling him about the situation of the two people.
Han Zhen replied quickly and said he would investigate immediately.
Wen Qi put away his phone. Their shopping had just been packed into four large bags, one for each person.
On the way back, Wen Qi was still thinking that it would be better if these two people's destination was not the same as theirs, otherwise there would be trouble again. She came out just to get some credits and achieve some goals, and did not want to work overtime.
After returning, everyone gathered together to eat something. After a while of noisy chatter, they quieted down and found a place to rest. Although these students are delicate and spoiled, they can really endure hardships when on a mission and can sleep in any environment.
After all, if you don’t rest well now, you will have no time to rest when the excavation comes.
Wen Qi has been following his master since he was a child. For him, getting on the train is just like going home. He can just sit there, hug his arms, tilt his head and fall asleep.
Fan Xiaoling was amazed at what was happening. At first, she still had the energy to observe others, but later, the shaking of the train made her unable to stand it anymore. She found a three-seater seat that was empty and, relying on her small size, she lay down, curled up her legs and fell asleep.
The whole group of people slept in a daze until before dinner, and were then woken up by the three professors.
Professor Cheng said, "Everyone, please stay alert. We will get off the bus in more than an hour. Let's go to the dining car to have a meal first. We will go directly to the bus after we get off the bus. We don't have time to stay."
Fan Xiaoling sat up, with the mark on half of her face from being pressed, and said in shock, "We still need to take the bus?"
Professor Cheng smiled and said, "Yes, because it is in the countryside, there is no train there, so we can only take the bus. Don't worry, we will definitely arrive before midnight."
Fan Xiaoling sighed, "It's really not easy."
Professor Cheng also sighed, "There's nothing we can do about it. Most tombs are in remote places far from cities. You'll get used to it after you come here a few more times."
Fan Xiaoling turned around and saw that all the seniors were accepting the plan well. Some even joked that the journey was relatively short this time. The last time they went somewhere, it took them two days on the road and they almost vomited from sitting in the car.
Two people were left to look after the luggage, while the others all rushed to the dining car. It was just past dinner time, so there were still quite a few people on the dining car.
Wen Qi looked around and found that the two people he saw at noon were no longer there. He wondered if they got off the bus.
Everyone lined up to buy lunch boxes and dispersed to find empty seats to sit down and eat.
Fan Xiaoling opened the lunch box, smelled it, and said with a smile, "It has a special fragrance."
Wen Qi couldn't help laughing. What could be so special about it? It was just the taste of various dishes mixed together. What a child.
Wen Qi had no appetite and was playing with her phone while eating. Only then did she see the message Feng Ce sent her.
Feng Ce: I was in a meeting just now. Are you tired from the car ride? The time is 4:16.
She was sleeping at that time, so naturally she didn't reply. There was another message sent ten minutes ago, asking her if she had eaten.
Wen Qi put down his chopsticks, took a photo of Feng Ce's lunch box, and replied: I just ate. I slept all afternoon, so I'm not tired.
This time, Feng Ce replied very quickly: It doesn’t look very delicious, thank you for your hard work, baby.
Wen Qi blinked and stared at the two words, heat spreading from his ears. Why did he suddenly say such disgusting words?
Fan Xiaoling, who was sitting opposite Wen Qi, saw that she hadn't moved her chopsticks. She looked up at her in surprise and said, "Qi Qi, do you have a fever? Why is your face so red?"
Wen Qi came back to her senses and subconsciously put her phone on the table. "It's okay, just a little hot." She took off her thin coat and said with a smile, "Let's eat."
Fan Xiaoling was still a little worried. She kept observing Wen Qi's face during the meal, and she was not relieved until the blush on the latter's face faded. But she still said, "It's easiest to catch a cold when the seasons change. We can't be careless."
Wen Qi nodded perfunctorily, still thinking about the title in his heart, not knowing how to respond, and unknowingly finished the whole box of food.
Wen Qi felt his bloated stomach and was speechless.
Before getting off the train, Wen Qi could look at those two words calmly and replied calmly: It's not hard, are you home? When the train stopped at Longhe Town, Feng Ce didn't reply again, so Wen Qi knew that this man must be busy again.
She put away her phone, picked up her suitcase, and got off the car behind everyone else.
As soon as she got off the car, she felt the strong yin energy again. She turned around and saw that it was indeed the two men! They got off here too! At this moment, Han Zhen called.
Wen Qi picked up the phone and said, "Those two people got off at Longhe Town."
"Yes." Han Zhen said, "The two people you mentioned are tomb robbers. The tombs you are going to are dug out by them, and then they were discovered by the villagers and reported to the police. The two people have a strong yin energy, and they must have brought something out of the tomb. The purpose of their return this time is unknown. You should pay more attention to them. You can capture them directly when the time is right."
Wen Qi frowned, "Isn't it the police's job to catch tomb robbers?"
Han Zhen smiled, "That's right, but the Anhuai City Special Police asked for the cooperation of the Heavenly Master. Tomb robbers have some special methods. It just so happens that you are here, so they don't have to find excuses to insert people."
"You won't work for nothing." Han Zhen added, "There is a reward for catching a fugitive, and it will all be yours."
Wen Qi then raised his eyebrows and smiled, "That's more like it."
Han Zhen also laughed. It was unbelievable that the wife of the president of Feng Group was so obsessed with money. No one would believe it if she told others about it.
"Don't worry about them for now. Their destination is probably the same as yours. We can talk about it when we get there."
Wen Qi said "hmm", hung up the phone, and really forgot about the two people. After following the large group out of the station, he rushed to the bus station.
There is only one bus going to Longhe Township at night. If you miss it, you will have to wait until tomorrow.
After buying the tickets and getting on the bus, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Professor Cheng said with a smile: "Students, we will reach our destination in more than three hours. The institute has arranged rooms for us. When we get there, everyone should wash up and go to bed early. We will be busy starting tomorrow."
Everyone responded with a smile, then very skillfully found a place to lie down and continued to sleep.
Wen Qi sat with Fan Xiaoling and whispered to her about the two tomb robbers. The latter's eyes widened. Who would have thought that coming out of school to study archaeology would give her a temporary assignment? Wen Qi added, "This can also be considered part of the protection mission. After all, those two people also came for the tombs. While we protect professors and students, we also have to protect cultural relics, right?"
Fan Xiaoling nodded, "You make sense." As soon as she finished speaking, she widened her eyes, covered her mouth and whispered, "Qiqi, look out the window."
Wen Qi turned his head and saw two tomb robbers running towards them, each carrying a one-meter-high travel bag, their target was the bus.
She looked away without hesitation, as if she had just turned her head accidentally, and said calmly: "Don't keep looking at them, just pretend you don't know them, these two people are very sensitive to sight."
Fan Xiaoling quickly looked away, wanting to cry but unable to, "What should I do? I think I just made eye contact with them."
Wen Qi patted her head and said, "It's okay. They are dressed so strangely, there will always be people who are curious and look at them, not just you. Just be more careful next time."
As they were talking, the two tomb robbers had already boarded the car, walked straight to the back of the car, and sat down behind Wen Qi and Fan Xiaoling.
Fan Xiaoling suddenly became more nervous. She was not so scared when facing ghosts because she knew that ghosts could not hurt her so easily, but it was different with people.
Wen Qi saw that she was afraid, so he simply took her hand and squeezed it to show her that he was there.
Fan Xiaoling instantly thought of Wen Qi's fighting ability, and suddenly felt safe and relaxed. She also took the initiative to say, "When we return to school this time, I will strictly follow the schedule you set for me to exercise every day!"
Wen Qi's eyebrows jumped, and he found the point, "Were you lazy before?"
Fan Xiaoling immediately laughed sheepishly and used her index finger and thumb to pinch out a gap, "Just a little bit!"
Wen Qi frowned, "I was wondering why your exercise results were always not up to expectations, I thought it was a personal physique problem." She was a little angry, "When we get back, I'll make a new schedule for you and I'll train with you."
Fan Xiaoling could only grit her teeth and agree with tears in her eyes, "Okay."
The dark-skinned man behind him couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "No matter how hard you train, the little girl's skin will still be like that, delicate and soft."
Wen Qi paused, then slowly turned his head to look at the man, and said disdainfully: "For someone like you, I can kill three of them with one hand, do you want to try?"
The dark-skinned man was stunned for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter, "You have a hot personality, I like it!"
"Old Third." The man next to him called Hei Pi, signaling him to be more restrained, and then smiled gently at Wen Qi, "Sorry, he is used to speaking without restraint, he has no ill intentions."
The third brother curled his lips and said nothing more.
Wen Qi snorted coldly, "That's better." Then he turned his head away.
It looked like he was sulking, but in fact he was recalling the characteristics of the two people.
Heipi, the third brother, looks like a martial artist, but he is impulsive and likes to stir up trouble. The man next to him is ordinary in every aspect and has a gentle temperament. He doesn't look like a tomb robber at all, but rather like a scholar.
The third child listens to scholars very much.
And that Yin energy, Wen Qi previously thought it was emitted from something carried by one of the two people, but now that the distance was closer, she could be sure that both of them were emitting Yin energy, and that it came from the same source.
Either there was such a thing that was split into two and carried by two people separately, or both of them were contaminated with something at the same time somewhere.
Wen Qi pondered that the things that were brought out, or the things that were contaminated, were most likely from this group of tombs.
It seems that this archaeological trip is not as simple as she imagined. (End of this chapter)
