C77

In the evening, the others were put into tents. Elder Li and Elder Li will guard for the first half of the night, while I will guard for the second half.

When it was time for the shift change, Elder Li said in a normal voice, "I'm not sleepy either, I'm just staying a little longer with you youngsters." With that, Elder Li calmly indicated for them to not speak. Afterwards, the two of them sat by the side and began to converse in low voices.

Elder Li winked at me, then pulled over the small sack of cloth he had put aside — only the size of an arm, woven with a single lotus flower and the words "The Bodhisattva of the Great Mercy" on it.

Elder Li casually handed the bag over to me, opened the lid, drank some water and said, "This thing can be considered as my gift to this young one. It's not some previous item, but it's quite meaningful."

The bag felt heavy in my hand, and I pulled it open. I could see a corner of it in the dim light, black and hard.

I was shocked. What the hell? It looks like this is a stone tablet?

I became excited, but didn't dare to reveal it. I didn't take the stone tablet out of the bag either. I only said, "Thank you. This thing is a good item. It will be of great help to me in the future." Not the future help, but the present help.

Since Elder Li didn't directly give it to me, then there must be his considerations. Naturally, I wouldn't be so tactless.

Elder Li and what was he talking about? More accurately, it was Elder Li speaking about what was serious about listening. Elder Li obviously knows what we're doing here, but he doesn't understand why we shouldn't know.

Once this is found, our mission will be accomplished.

Elder Li touched his nose and said in a rough voice, "Rest assured, I will tell the higher-ups. It's really not safe here. Why don't I give you a letter and bring it back? Just tell them that the mission will not be completed and for the sake of safety, I'll have you go out and contact them. After all, you're the second tier! "

"I didn't understand what he meant. When I raised my head, I saw Elder Li using his mouth to say," Hurry, hurry, let's go. " "I'll have to trouble you then," I said gratefully. "We'll go outside to get some supplies and come in." With that, I gestured to Elder Li, calling him over and pointing at the device on his hand. I handed it over to Elder Li. "Then I'll have to trouble you to explain it to the higher-ups so that they don't think we're deserters." These words were neither heavy nor light, but those who were deeply asleep shouldn't be able to hear them.

Elder Li was stunned for a moment. I lifted up my sleeve to let him see the same "wristwatch" on my wrist. The smile on his face widened, and he suddenly said, "I'll write it tomorrow. I'll write it during the day."

With that, he called out to Elder Li, "Come, let's go in."

Don't know what we're talking about, look at me blankly.

I didn't dare to tell him. I just mouthed, "Wait a little longer."

As for nodding our heads, the two of us will just casually talk and keep vigil. Even when I was just beginning to study archaeology. I went to bed at six-thirty, yawning.

In fact, Wei Yuting was fine. However, he was not very clear-headed either. He lay down on the innermost layer of the bed and fell asleep. When he woke up, he drank a few mouthfuls of water and ate a few mouthfuls of food before fainting. What did it mean to feel heartache? Elder Li passed us with a biscuit in his mouth. He took a pen and a paper and said, "Come!

Elder Li had his back to the tent and was facing our boiler, his body completely blocking the paper. He was using the kind of white, slightly transparent draft paper with the words "Report of the Hong Yun Cigarette Leaf" on the top. He first wrote something on a piece of paper, writing it properly, then teased us, "It's still young, so it's fine to not sleep for most of the night." We answered him, but his hand was not idle, and he was scribbling on a piece of paper beneath it.

After a few more pleasantries, he handed me the originals. I immediately tore off the two pieces of paper. After thinking it through, I stuffed the first sheet of paper into my pocket. Then, I intentionally folded the second piece of paper towards the tent with a bit of affection.

Elder Li walked over with large strides. "Look at my memory!" He slapped down the rest of the stack of papers and strode back.

He had already stuffed the paper into his sleeve. I was sure that I had hidden it well. I solemnly put the paper in my pocket, turned around, and prepared to go back to rest.

In my daze, I only felt someone touch my leg, but I didn't care. After a while, when the person opened a slit to take a look, there were a lot of people in the tent, and they didn't turn on the lights, so I had no idea who it was.

I sneered inside, Elder Li's guess was indeed true.

I continued to mimic my own snoring, closed my eyes, and fell asleep.

By three o'clock in the evening, most of the people had woken up. The aroma of food wafted in the air. With so many people eating here, it was easy for them to eat until they were poor. Fortunately, he had brought all his belongings with him yesterday. Otherwise, he would have been in a difficult situation right now. But having more people was also a good thing. I sat down beside Wei Yuting, who was feeding her porridge. My left hand slowly fished out the piece of paper. My eyelids twitched, and my original work paper became a note.

Something like a note paper was definitely not something that everyone here had. We didn't say when we were leaving. We had been watching Elder Li as he was writing, and it was obvious from one look that this piece of paper was not of the correct origin. Even if Elder Li didn't suspect it before, he would still suspect it now.

I didn't say anything. After a while, I pretended to be careful and took out the slip of paper to show Wei Yuting. Then, I went to find Elder Li to write another copy.

I never noticed. It's strange. I realized that even a blind person would know there was a problem.
