There are a lot of things in the backpack, but because it is made of military products, even though it is severely weathered, the fibers still maintain a very stable structure. Chen Yu wore gloves and cut the backpack inch by inch along the edge of the zipper.

I stood beside her, helped her catch the things in her bag one by one and took them out.

Most of the bags are casual tools for archaeology, including two hand shovels of different sizes, a roll of tape ruler, a bag of brushes with complete numbers from small to large, as well as a tape ruler and a bag of white gray.

Turning inside, you can also pick out sharpened chopsticks (used to clean human bones), plumb hammers, leveling meter, and a pack of nails, a roll of wire rope, a hero pen and a bottle of ink.

Turning to the bottom, Chen Yu took out a wallet.

It’s probably been a long time since the leather of the wallet has been stuck together. I was afraid of damaging the evidence, so I slowly tinkered with it for five minutes before I opened it.

There is a stack of old versions of RMB notes in the wallet, and there are two one-yuan coins in the corner.

I counted and it cost 127 yuan in total.

There was also a colorful photo in the wallet, with an intellectual and gentle woman holding a cute and cute boy. He stared at the camera with wide eyes and tried hard, as if there was something that attracted him.

Needless to say, this must be a photo of Shu Yun holding Wen Tingxu when he was a child. Unfortunately, when I met him, his eyes were no longer so clear.

Things in the world are really changing, and luck makes people beat people.

Chen Yu suddenly exclaimed in a low voice, and I saw her shoulders trembling nervously. Needless to say, she must have discovered something particularly important.

Sure enough, she took out a thick hard shell notebook from her backpack with caution. The notebook was A3 size and the edges of the shell were still worn, which shows how frequently the owner used it at the beginning.

There is an elastic strap rope cover sewn on the outer side of the book that is sewn on the shell, which uses the most common red and white elastic straps in the past. In this way, every time you finish writing something, you can stretch the notebook, the pen and bookmark inside, so that things will not be easily scattered.

This is very similar to the design of the current internet celebrity book. At first glance, it is the masterpiece of Shu Yun, who is skillful and skillful.

Chen Yu wanted to stretch the elastic band, but he didn't expect that as soon as he tried, the monkey rubber band inside broke with a "pop".

It seems that many years have passed, and the wind and sun are roasted in the desert, and the things that have become worse than twenty years ago have become much worse.

Chen Yu was startled and she breathed a sigh of relief. I knew that this notebook must have something written by Wen Mushan himself. The evidence is of great significance and it will never be allowed to be damaged at all.

Bai Yaer also became nervous.

"Mr. Wen said that the evidence must be preserved well. This is something more important than his life."

Chen Yu nodded. In fact, we could have waited to hand it over to the police for processing. But at this moment, whether it was me, Chen Yu or Wen Tingxu, I couldn't wait to reveal the truth.

Bai Yaer took a can of spray and sprayed it on the side of the notebook a few times, saying, "This is an imported paper relief potion that can effectively separate adhesions and brittleness, but you have to wait a little more than three or five minutes."

Chen Yu looked at her watch and she sighed deeply.

I know that it is already half past ten, and there is not much time left for her today.

That can of spray is indeed useful. Sharpening the knife will not delay the chopping of wood. After a while, it is true that opening the inner page of the notebook is much easier than expected.

But what disappoints us is that Wen Mushan’s notebook is not a private diary or a work diary. It is more like a professional essay and a record of various difficulties and solutions encountered in archaeology.

Wen Mushan's handwriting is more graceful than I thought. He used a particularly upright fountain pen to record all kinds of work. Although the colors of paper and ink have changed a lot over the years, he can still see the person's character, ethics, and even his attitude towards life from the lines.

This is a person who is meticulous in doing things and pursues the ultimate in doing things.

When we usually do shorthand or remember things, we try to use simplified characters, or even homophones to ensure speed. As for punctuation, it is basically something that is not paid attention to.

But Wen Mushan is different. He writes every word and every punctuation very seriously. From the color of the pen and ink, he can see that if the punctuation point in front is a bit wrong, he will even find it behind and correct it.

Moreover, judging from the connection between characters, his hand speed is extremely fast. Even if he writes every word, it does not delay his recording speed.

Although it is all work problems, if we pay attention, we can still find clues between the lines and restore the original appearance of the matter.

For example, the exact time of discovering the Xiye Ruins is recorded.

Because you can see such a passage when you flip into the middle of the log.

"Walking in the desert for sixteen days, the people were exhausted and the team spirit was almost collapsed. If the ruins were not discovered today, this would have been a futile journey and a waste of public funds..."

Next, Wen Mushan summarized his experience in finding ruins in the desert.

"One, don't go deep alone, try to search in a fan shape; two, pay attention to contour lines, the movement of sand dunes will affect the distance; three, keep the appropriate distance to return to the supply base, life and death are small, army morale is big, and burning the boats may not be a good thing..."

Wen Mushan and his party set out from Kalayatur to enter the desert on September 10th, so it was September 26th in 16 days. On this day, the archaeological team, who were trapped in people and almost collapsed, finally discovered the Xiye Ruins.

Then, I turned down and Wen Mushan and Fei Tang discussed how to survey the ruins and whether to conduct protective excavations. Because once excavation was made, it would inevitably cause damage to the closed cultural relics.

What they both struggled with was that since the city was destroyed, it seemed that no one had ever discovered it again.

There are no traces of excavation or stolen in the entire city. Even Dr. Stein, who had visited Kashgar and explored, plundered, looted, and sold cultural relics, should not have discovered this place at the beginning.

Fei Tang quickly confirmed that this was the ruins of Hujiangu, the capital of Xiye. Two people discovered in the ruins that the temples in the city had been demolished. The reason for the destruction was to build a larger statue of gods.

But Wen Mushan disagreed with this.

"... The residual limbs of the statue were found in the ruins, and it is estimated that the height of more than 100 meters is also possible. The clay statue must not last long in the strong wind and sand, and it is normal for the collapse of the city to collapse.

"In the Western Regions, many Buddhist temples, Mani temples, Zoro temples, etc. were built during the Tang Dynasty, but no large Buddha statues were built. The Buddha statues of Tongtian were built during the Empress Wu period, which were decades later than the West Night. This small country has few people, so why did it build statues and who would imitate them?"

Going further down, Wen Mushan wrote the five words "Bamiyang Buddha", and put a series of question marks, and then there were three huge exclamation marks side by side. Behind the exclamation mark are two large characters that have been repeatedly drawn.

“There’s a change!”
