Eight o'clock in the morning, in a residential building.
The boy rushed out of the bedroom with his bag, not even having time to pull up his coat, and he just managed to keep it from slipping off.
"Are you in such a hurry that you won't have breakfast?"
The woman brought out exquisite dishes from the kitchen and placed them on the table. She also went downstairs to buy freshly chopped roast duck.
Seeing that his son was about to run away.
"Hey, hey, a steamed bun would be nice too!"
Zhou Shuo bent down to put on his shoes and tied a knot on the soles.
The boy had chestnut hair draped over his forehead, and he was so tall that he had to lower his head slightly when going out.
He was carrying a black bag on one shoulder.
Under his sword-like eyebrows were a pair of bright brown eyes, and his skin was not white but a healthy honey color.
The thin sunlight from the corridor shone on him.
The woman took advantage of the moment to stuff tissues and mineral water into his backpack, nagging him, "Remember to send me a message when you get there, don't be careless..."
Zhou Shuo pressed his left leg against the door to prevent it from closing, and slurred his words while holding a steamed bun in his mouth.
He turned around and said, "Mom...I'm leaving!"
He had long legs and jumped down the stairs in three or two steps. He took two gulps of water before swallowing the steamed bun stuck in his throat.
Take a taxi.
"Master, come to the gate of x."
The scenery outside the window flew by, and the boy's heart was beating irregularly.
Zhou Shuo, a junior this year, majoring in archaeology, is a staunch materialist and never believes in ghosts.
When I applied for the exam, I encountered strong opposition from my parents.
But he still firmly chose this major. As for the reason, he himself didn't understand.
This plan was proposed by the professor who was supervising his internship. They temporarily formed a team. In addition to him and the professor, there were two boys and a girl in the same major.
They had only met each other once at school and were not very familiar with each other. Including the driver, there were six people in total.
At the school gate, in a black SUV, the professor was already sitting in the passenger seat waiting. Zhou Shuo was the last to arrive.
"Sorry, I was delayed on the way."
No one cared, mainly because everyone's face was filled with excitement that was hard to conceal.
After all, they had only learned theoretical knowledge through computers and books in school before, and this was their first real practical class.
Except for the fifty-year-old male professor who had a calm expression, he was holding his glasses and carefully reading the materials.
The rest were only in their twenties and too young to control their emotions.
"Let's go."
The man driving the car was a professional driver hired by the professor himself. He was taciturn and did not talk to anyone, but stepped on the accelerator silently.
The cause was a rumor leaked by a tour group, which said that they had arrived at the uninhabited Liger Desert, but lost their way and were separated from the group.
To make matters worse, he was hit by a terrible sandstorm and was dragged into a mysterious ancient tomb. He fainted on the ground just in time to see the magnificent tomb door.
When I woke up again, I was already in a nearby villager's home. No one would believe it if I told them.
How could there be ancient tombs in such a deserted area where few people go?
The professor has been studying archaeology for most of his life, so he wants to go and see it regardless of whether it is true or not.
According to the navigation, the whole journey is more than 3,000 kilometers and it will take about two days to reach Taji, an unknown village on the edge of the Liger Desert.
This is the address that the professor spent a lot of effort to find.
After leaving the city, my originally restless mood gradually calmed down.
They started chatting.
"Hello, my name is Xiaoshuang. Please add me for easy communication."
She was the only girl in the group of six and sat in the last row.
She has a pretty face, with a bun and light makeup on her face.
It looks pretty good.
Several people introduced themselves one after another, and the atmosphere became harmonious and quiet.
Zhou Shuo sat in the middle row by the window, his arms resting on the window, his eyes staring quietly outside.
He looks mature and steady, but he is actually thinking.
"If I really find it, won't I be rich? I'll definitely be famous then! No, what if they all worship me?"
My nonsensical thoughts are becoming more and more complicated.
In Xiaoshuang's eyes, this boy seemed so calm and composed. While others were excited, he was the only one who was relaxed and at ease.
The girl bit her lower lip and asked softly.
"Hello classmate, can I add you?"
Zhou Shuo's mind was full of the secret treasures in the ancient tomb, so he couldn't care about anything else and didn't hear what the other party said at all.
So much so that girls misunderstood and thought he was too cold.
He timidly took back his phone.
The journey is long.
The temperature rose so high that even the air conditioner was useless, and everyone's face was covered in sweat.
At the last toll booth, the staff reminded them.
"If you're just here for tourism, you can wander around the area, but if you're inexperienced, don't enter the Liger Desert without permission. People go missing there every year."
The professor said, "Thank you."
The vegetation coverage along the way decreased and the original green trees gradually disappeared.
Instead, there are endless sand dunes and rugged terrain, and you never know where there might be poisonous snakes lurking.
There are more and more cacti and prickly pear trees everywhere, which are desert plants.
A gust of wind blew, and the sky was filled with yellow sand, so much so that the road was invisible. For safety reasons, we had to slow down the car.
The professor reminded, "Close all the car windows."
Xiaoshuang in the back seat choked and started coughing, and forgot to wear a mask.
Zhou Shuo glanced at the undulating hills in the distance, touched his heart, and frowned to suppress his uneasy restlessness.
He took a deep breath of the dry air and felt a little pain in his lungs.
