Chapter 72, Buried Alive
"Village Chief Xiao Kong's scolding was too harsh! Chu Lizheng didn't want this to happen... Besides, it's his sister who's in danger. He must be more worried than anyone else!"
[I can't blame Village Chief Xiao Kong. He told me not to go east, but he still went! If I were in his place, I'd be furious too, meeting a teammate like that who doesn't understand what I'm saying!]
[Chu Xiaoxiao is just a child, she's not even an adult yet, so it's normal for her to want to show off!]
[Village Chief Kong scolded Chu Lizheng just because Chu Xiaoxiao was young. There's nothing wrong with that!]
"You don't have to be so harsh, but you're just an acting village chief, and you really think you're an official? Hilarious! You're using chicken feathers as a token of authority!"
[Would you like to see Village Chief Xiao Kong's bleeding hand before you fart like that?]
…
While the quarrel was going on in the live broadcast room, everyone at the archaeological site was also busy. In the end, it was Kong Xiyan who calmed everyone down.
"Group A, except Cheng Ze, will go check the situation on the landslide side. Cheng Ze will be temporarily assigned to Group B.
Group B continues their work here.
Group C, send half of your team to help Group A. Watch your step!
"Yes!" Everyone responded and took action.
"Why exclude me?" Cheng Ze looked puzzled, and his words were filled with grievance: "It's not me who is disobedient..."
"Shh!" Cheng Yue quickly made a hushed gesture, "Village Chief Kong is in a bad mood right now, don't let her get into trouble!"
Upon hearing this, Cheng Ze could only shut his mouth and go to Group B to find his good brother.
"Deputy Captain, let's take care of the wound first!" Sister Ying hurried forward to disinfect and clean the wound for Kong Xiyan, and then did a simple bandage.
Zhong Yangyang, who was standing by, had tears in her eyes just from watching this.
Earlier when she was at the Zhong family in Nancheng, Kong Xiyan had never suffered such an injury!
Chu Lizheng glared at Kong Xiyan and hid far away, fearing that Kong Xiyan would say something he couldn't refute, causing the number of his fans to drop again and again.
Chu Xiaoxiao followed Chu Lizheng and left. On the way, she looked back in the direction of Kong Xiyan many times, wanting to say something but stopping herself.
She didn't mean it, she just wanted to do something to show off so her brother would be proud of her and her parents would be happy.
She really didn't mean it...
Near noon, Team A finally responded: "Deputy Captain, the landslide area has been cleared. It could be an ancient tomb, or it could be..."
Xiao Song couldn't say the rest of the words, but judging from his expression, he seemed too serious.
Kong Xiyan walked over immediately after hearing the sound, and Sister Ying immediately put a mask on her and put gloves on her uninjured hand.
Squatting down, Kong Xiyan carefully examined the situation and frowned, "Buried alive."
A huge pit stretched from Kong Xiyan's feet to the distance, with white bones lying beneath the pit. The clothes wrapped around the bones had become corroded after years of baptism, and the original materials and colors could no longer be distinguished with the naked eye.
Thousands of years ago, the secret of the ancient lost city that disappeared overnight was gradually unveiled at this moment, and the cruel truth emerged.
Kong Xiyan quickly had the remains cleaned out and contacted Professor Gu to inform him of the discovery.
On the side, Chu Xiaoxiao looked at the dry bones being brought out with a pale face. There was also an indescribable strange smell. Did she almost fall on these bones just now?
Chu Xiaoxiao's stomach was cramped with fear and nausea. If she hadn't eaten little in the morning to maintain her image of a small stomach, she would have vomited by now!
It's horrible! It's really horrible!
"Xiaoxiao, those things were discovered because of you!" Chu Lizheng held a different view. He covered the microphone with one hand and used the other to cover Chu Xiaoxiao's microphone while adjusting her collar. "You should be the one to take the spotlight. You absolutely cannot let that Kong guy steal it away from you!"
"Brother, I can't do it, I..." Chu Xiaoxiao was very scared at this moment. She just wanted to vomit. She couldn't do anything else. She wanted to leave. She wanted to leave here!
What happened today will be a psychological shadow on her for the rest of her life!
When Chu Lizheng heard Chu Xiaoxiao's words, he raised his hand and patted Chu Xiaoxiao's shoulder, his fingertips constantly exerting force, with a gentle smile on his face: "Xiaoxiao, brother believes that you will not let me down, right?"
Chu Xiaoxiao's teeth chattered in pain, and in the end she could only nod in a daze.
"Be good." Chu Lizheng withdrew his hand with satisfaction.
Chu Xiaoxiao then walked towards Kong Xiyan, forcing herself to look at the huge pit where countless people were buried alive. Her body was shaking, and she said with a stiff upper lip, "Wow... Is this where I almost fell just now? I didn't even know what was down there..."
Before Chu Xiaoxiao could finish her words, Kong Xiyan had already stretched out her bandaged hand to cover Chu Xiaoxiao's eyes: "You are young, you will have nightmares if you see this."
When Chu Xiaoxiao heard Kong Xiyan's words, she was stunned and felt an unspeakable grievance in her heart.
Even Kong Xiyan, an outsider, knows that she will have nightmares after watching it. Why does her brother insist on forcing her to do things she doesn't want to do?
"Cheng Yue!" Kong Xiyan called Cheng Yue over and handed Chu Xiaoxiao to her: "Take her over there to laze around, don't make trouble here."
"OK! Just leave the laziness to me!" Cheng Yue smiled proudly. She is a professional at being lazy!
Kong Xiyan gave her a displeased look before supervising the work on site.
At the same time, when Zhu Ge saw the discovery of a burial pit in the live broadcast room on his mobile phone, he could no longer sit still.
We must not let those outsiders dig any further, otherwise everything will be gone!
Thinking of this, Zhu Ge decided to do something big!
For dinner that day, because of Kong Xiyan's hand injury, everyone had to eat the boxed lunches provided by the production team. Although the Cheng siblings were dissatisfied, they didn't want to trouble the injured person to cook for them, so they could only put pressure on the director with unhappy and resentful looks.
The director almost buried his head in the lunch box. No, are the lunch boxes ordered by their production team really that bad?
Not really!
The only one who was happy was Chu Lizheng.
He had said it long ago, since he couldn't eat it, he might as well overturn the table and stop anyone from eating it!
Although the timeline was a bit long and the process was a bit tortuous, he finally achieved his goal.
Not bad, very good!
That night, Kong Xiyan was originally planning to stay at the scene, but was dissuaded by the members of the archaeological team and had to take the program crew's car back.
Watching the bus leave, Zhu Ge, hiding in the corner, had a gloomy look in his eyes. It's time!
At night, just as Kong Xiyan was about to change the medicine, she heard a knock on the door. After opening the door, she saw Zhong Yangyang.
She just stood there, her long hair that usually hung down her shoulders was tied into a high ponytail with a purple headband at the back of her head, and she wore a beige outer layer over a light purple dress.
Her oval face, small enough to fit the palm of her hand, featured a pair of large, round, watery eyes that caught her eye. The corners of her eyes were tinged with red, and tears hung on her long, slender lashes. Her skin hadn't darkened in the sun, remaining as fair and translucent as ever. Her beautiful, diamond-shaped lips were slightly pouty, a clear expression of unhappiness.
She is a girl that you can understand at first sight.
Seeing Kong Xiyan open the door, she walked in without any hesitation.
"Did you have a fight with your second brother?" Kong Xiyan asked after hearing her say this: "Did he bully you?"
"Second brother won't bully me." Zhong Yangyang wiped his eyes with the back of his hand, as if trying to show off but also complaining: "He cried louder than I did!"
The corners of Kong Xiyan's mouth twitched. This was hard to comment on.
"Is it time to change the medicine?" Zhong Yangyang sat down on the sofa and patted the seat next to him: "Come here."
Seeing this, Kong Xiyan shrugged, sat over, and offered her injured hand.
Zhong Yangyang then began to change Kong Xiyan's dressing: "What did you say to me when I got burned last time? How come you are so careless?"
"It collapsed suddenly, and no one knows what's underneath. After all, it's a life, so we have to save it." Kong Xiyan said casually, as if it wasn't a big deal: "It didn't hurt much."
Zhong Yangyang became even angrier when he heard her say that, and deliberately increased the strength of his hands. When he raised his eyes to see Kong Xiyan's reaction, he met a pair of smiling eyes.
Zhong Yangyang's face suddenly turned red, and for a moment she felt very childish: "Is it hurting you?"
"I'm used to it." Kong Xiyan knew that she was a person who could not sit still. She couldn't even count the injuries, big and small, she had suffered over the years. Today's injury was really nothing.
Even though Kong Xiyan told the truth, Zhong Yangyang felt more and more uncomfortable. She really didn't know what kind of life Kong Xiyan had lived before returning to the Zhong family.
"Don't take those dangerous part-time jobs." As if she had made up her mind, Zhong Yangyang choked up and said, "From now on, I'll support you."
Kong Xiyan couldn't help but feel a warm feeling in her heart when she heard Zhong Yangyang's words, and was about to say something.
Her cell phone rang, and the caller was Captain Lu from the archaeological team.
Something happened at the archaeological site.
