Chapter 60: There is a Curse in Our Village
How could it be such a coincidence?
They came to this village to record a variety show, and Kong Xiyan worked part-time as the village chief.
They came here to cooperate with the archaeological team, and Kong Xiyan served as the deputy team leader part-time.
There is no such coincidence in this world!
It was just a trick after all. You still want to trick him? It's just wishful thinking!
"Since he's the village chief, then this is easy to say!" Cheng Ze and his sister changed their frustrated expressions and walked over with a smile: "We need to cooperate with the archaeological team. Village chief, please give us a nod of support for our filming!"
"You guys?" Kong Xiyan looked at the people in front of her, then looked at the filming equipment, squinting her eyes slightly as if thinking about something.
"No, there's nothing to hesitate about. We're so familiar with each other!" Cheng Yue's eyes widened: "Village Chief, have you forgotten that we are your favorite villagers?"
"Let's get down to business. In the archaeological team, you should call me deputy captain." Kong Xiyan corrected Cheng Yue's words, then turned her beautiful eyes and said, "The work in the archaeological team is hard, and it's no less difficult than those farm work. You are all so delicate and fragile... can you handle it?"
"Who are you looking down on?" Cheng Ze was unhappy and immediately showed off the muscles he had built by lifting weights at a gym in Beijing. "These are real muscles, not the kind you get from taking hormones! See?"
"It looks okay. I'll take Chengze." Kong Xiyan stepped forward and pinched Chengze's arm, then turned to look at Zhong Qihan: "As for you... If you're afraid of getting tired, forget it."
Zhong Qihan sneered when he heard this. What? Provoking him?
Without saying a word, Zhong Qi Han lifted up his shirt, revealing his well-shaped and well-proportioned abdominal muscles, and then raised his eyebrows at Kong Xiyan.
"Okay, then you can stay too." Kong Xiyan glanced at the others again: "Cheng Ze will go to Group A, Zhong Qihan will go to Group B, and the others will go to Group C to help. The group leaders, come here to identify the people."
[No, I just came here ready to scold you, and you're trying to use your beauty to lure me in, right? You're really good at judging people!]
[Let's be honest, there's really no way to criticize the face and figure of the dead pretender! The Nuwa Bishe is really not just talk. ]
Does anyone else find it outrageous that Village Chief Xiao Kong has become the deputy leader of the archaeological team?
[These are just scripted characters. If you take them seriously, you will lose! ]
[I'm kind of looking forward to how outrageous this script will get.]
"Deputy Captain." The three team leaders pulled Kong Xiyan aside and muttered, "We haven't found the people who stole the dig yet, and now there are so many people, with video equipment and other things, it's not good..."
"Didn't you tell me before that we didn't have enough manpower? The ready-made strong men are delivered to your doorstep, and you don't want to use them? Are you really planning to let your Captain Lu who can't get out of bed go into battle himself?" After hearing what Kong Xiyan said, the others fell silent.
"Don't worry, as long as we don't let them get involved in the core operations, they won't cause any trouble." Kong Xiyan lowered her voice, "And with so many recording teams here, those who steal the excavations will definitely not dare to show up again, which will also increase the safety of our archaeological work."
“But they are broadcasting live, will this…” Everyone was a little hesitant when they heard this.
"I'll explain the situation to the higher-ups. Just focus on your work. I'll make you something delicious for lunch!" Kong Xiyan smiled brightly. "Let's speed up and dig in the areas I marked earlier."
"Okay!" Everyone was completely relieved at this moment, and they led their people to go to work.
Kong Xiyan contacted the people above and explained the situation here: "Last time, we caught tomb robbers at the Luohe Ruins and secretly transported Chinese cultural relics abroad to confuse history. This time, we will let the temporary live broadcasters participate in the excavation of the ancient mysterious city. Let's see how they can confuse history!"
"Okay! I'll do as you say. If you find anything, feel free to contact me." A strong male voice came from the other end of the phone: "I knew I was right to ask you for external help!"
"Okay, Professor Gu, we'll contact each other later if we have anything." Kong Xiyan hung up the phone, glanced at the filming team, and a subtle smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
This time, the people hiding in the dark should be getting anxious and losing their composure!
Meanwhile, Zhu Ge was chatting with the villagers: "If you ask me, we shouldn't let those outsiders dig around in our village! We're cursed here!"
"Zhu Ge, could you please stop with all this scary shit?" The villagers waved their hands in disgust. "Village Chief Kong said we should trust science!"
"She is just an acting village chief. At most, she is a foreigner who has been showing off for a week. But you all call her Village Chief Xiao Kong so affectionately! Then she patted her butt and left as if nothing had happened. If the curse comes down, the unlucky ones will be those in our village!" Zhu Ge's face looked ugly.
It was all the fault of Kong Xiyan, the nosy outsider. The villagers actually believed in their curse words, but she meddled in other people's business and cured the archaeologists, and kept saying that they should believe in science!
How hateful!
"Maybe..." Zhu Ge's expression was sinister: "She has been cursed!"
"What nonsense are you talking about? Village Chief Kong is fine. He even borrowed my car this morning to buy some delicious food for the archaeological team!" Uncle Zhu frowned. "Zhu Ge, are you going to take care of your land? If you don't clean it up now, it will be completely abandoned!"
"I will take care of it, of course." Zhu Ge responded vaguely and changed the subject to the curse.
"Zhu Ge, stop scaring people! Village Chief Xiao Kong is fine. He's even live-streaming with those celebrities at the archaeological team!" A young man showed Zhu Ge the live stream on his phone. "They'll be live-streaming there for the next few days!"
"What?" Zhu Ge was stunned when he heard the voice, and a bad premonition came to his mind.
He immediately snatched the phone and looked at the live broadcast of Kong Xiyan drinking tea on the screen with a frown.
How is that possible! Why wasn't Kong Xiyan poisoned? What were these people doing there live streaming? Isn't this going to ruin his life?
These damn outsiders!
While Zhu Ge was gritting his teeth in hatred, the archaeological team was proceeding in full swing.
After a morning, Kong Xiyan prepared lunch and asked the archaeological team members to eat. Everyone had worked so hard and their bodies had not fully recovered, so they had to eat something good and eat more.
The guests who were also tired after a morning of recording were told that their lunch would be boxed meals prepared by the director team.
"Boxed lunch?" Cheng Ze opened the box and looked at the three vegetarian dishes and one meat dish. The boxed lunch had no color, fragrance, or taste. The corner of his mouth twitched: "That's it?"
He is the eldest son of the Cheng family. He was as tired as his grandson this morning and worked so hard, and this is what he was given to eat?
The others were also obviously dissatisfied, especially when they saw that the archaeologists had chicken stewed with mushrooms, beef tenderloin with black pepper, and even a big cold watermelon. Their dissatisfaction with the director team reached its peak.
Fortunately, Kong Xiyan still prepared some Chinese medicine for everyone. After drinking the bitter-tasting Chinese medicine, the lunch boxes didn’t seem so hard to swallow anymore.
The director was completely stupefied, but he finally walked towards Kong Xiyan with a wry smile on his face, clasping his hands together and saying, "Village Chief Kong, thank you for your hard work in preparing dinner for the guests."
"I've already told you." Kong Xiyan sipped her mushroom chicken soup and glanced at the director: "Let's be honest, you have to call me deputy captain here!"
The chief director's mouth twitched: "Deputy Captain, you have worked hard."
"Oh, director, it's really difficult for me to handle since you suddenly made this request..." Kong Xiyan sighed and looked at the chief director.
"Deputy Captain, please be flexible. We are all so familiar with each other, right?" The chief director was a little confused. Why did this little Kong, who was not very old, always act like an old leader?
"Oh..." Kong Xiyan thought for a moment and slowly said, "How about this, everyone in the director team should stay busy this afternoon and come help!"
"Ah?" The director was dumbfounded.
No, he is the director, he really is the director!
How come I became a beast of burden without paying attention?!
In the end, due to the sad looks from the guests, the director still agreed reluctantly.
In the afternoon, Kong Xiyan directed the archaeological work and took charge of the overall situation, while keeping an eye on the measurement data and adjusting everyone's excavation direction at any time. With the participation of the director team, the progress was immediately accelerated.
When it comes to a critical point, Kong Xiyan will personally step forward and use the instrument to measure repeatedly, then stretch out her fingers and calculate: "Keep digging down here, there is something."
[I don't know much about archaeology, but I feel like she's really professional!]
[Can anyone who knows about archaeology tell me if she really knows this or is it just a script? I'm a little confused.]
[The power of capital, anyone who believes it is a fool! ]
[Holy crap! I was just following the trending searches, and how did I end up seeing some archaeology experts? And all of them gathered together at once? Am I just being overly enthusiastic?]
[Hurry up and check out Weibo! It's revealed that the people around the village chief who follow her orders are all big names in the archaeology world! Two of them are real big names who were interviewed at the Luohe ruins!]
[Shit... Is this a script?!]
[This is all just a play by the capitalists, why take it seriously? They're creating gods here, and only those who truly believe in them are fools!]
When the results were actually announced at the archaeological site in the afternoon, the people in the live broadcast room who were waiting to laugh and curse were dumbfounded.
No, she's serious?!
