Grandpa Han asked the guard to invite the person in. Su Nian and Chu Beichen looked at each other, and Su Nian asked, "Grandpa, is this the guest you invited? Should we step aside?"
Grandpa Han shook his head: "No, you can stay!"
Su Nian and Chu Beichen sat down obediently. The visitor came in soon. The matter was simple. He was just the person sent by the museum to deliver the map.
The visitor greeted Grandpa Han, then took out a map and handed it to him, "This is where Mr. Han and his wife disappeared!"
Su Nian couldn't help but hold Chu Beichen's hand tightly. As the time she spent with the Han family grew longer and longer, she became curious about the truth behind her parents' disappearance.
Grandpa Han had already opened the map and was looking at it while thanking the visitor.
The person who delivered the map left quickly. Su Nian and Chu Beichen also came to their grandfather and looked at the map. "What is this place?" Su Nian couldn't help asking.
Grandpa Han sighed. "Your father and mother disappeared at the archaeological site. That place is an unexplored ancient tomb complex. After this incident, the relevant departments believed that the ancient tomb complex was not yet ready for development and research, so they temporarily sealed it off."
"But the early maps have been preserved. You can take a look!"
Su Nian had no experience in reading maps. Fortunately, with Chu Beichen's explanation, she was able to roughly understand the land marked on the map.
There is no address on the map, only Pit No. 8. I guess this is the number of that cemetery.
Pit No. 8 is very large, with many tunnels inside, winding and twisting, making it easy to get lost.
Chu Beichen was very confused, "This doesn't look like a cemetery, it looks more like a maze!"
Grandpa Han nodded. "Beichen has a good eye. Bowen called me at the time. He was very excited and said he was in charge of exploring the maze. It's the place marked on this map!"
Su Nian couldn't help but become curious, "Grandpa, tell me and Beichen what happened back then!"
Su Nian is Han Bowen's daughter, so she is naturally qualified to know what happened that year. So Grandpa Han took a sip of water and slowly began to tell the story.
What happened back then was actually very simple. On a small island in the South China Sea, a farmer handed over a bronze tripod. This object from the Shang and Zhou dynasties immediately attracted the attention of the country.
Only then did they send Han Bowen and his archaeological team to the local area to investigate.
As we all know, the civilization of the Shang and Zhou dynasties was mainly concentrated in the Central Plains, while the South China Sea is located on the coast and has always been an uncivilized area. If the remains of ancient civilization were really discovered there, I am afraid that history would have to be rewritten.
After Han Bowen and his team arrived in the South China Sea, they quickly found the cemetery following clues given by the locals and began excavating.
Excavation is a long process. Fortunately, the archaeological site is not far from the Bai branch where Bai Fangyu is located, so during every break, Bai Fangyu will go to the area where the archaeological team is located to visit Han Bowen.
The accident happened three months after the archaeological excavation began. According to people who were also in the archaeological team at the time, when Bai Fangyu came to find Han Bowen that day, Han Bowen had already entered the maze.
Everyone in the archaeological team had something to do, so Bai Fangyu said she would just go in.
Everyone knew her relationship with Han Bowen, and since this was not Bai Fangyu's first time here, they pointed her in the direction and let Bai Fangyu go in by herself.
Archaeology is a slow job. After finishing work, everyone realized that Bai Fangyu had disappeared without a trace. Even Han Bowen did not come out for dinner.
