NOVEL SIMPLE Chapter 200 Village Chief Qin’s request, Brother Dumb
After the two took over the task, they discussed it and decided to use the excuse of taking photos to check all the large grottoes first.
Find the problematic grotto, mark it with a pen, and wait for subsequent treatment.
As for the task of catching the thief, it was left to Dean Duan and others.
Luo Yunhang and Xiang Tianhong made preparations and went to the town to buy some dried buns and dried meat. Carrying a camera, notepad, and a day's worth of dry food and water, they started working in the grotto.
When you meet local villagers on duty on the road, you will talk to them enthusiastically.
The two of them would also respond enthusiastically, telling the story of taking photos of Buddha statues and grottoes.
Most of the villagers didn't understand this and didn't ask any questions.
As long as it doesn't delay their business, it will be fine.
The two began a comprehensive survey mission.
In terms of eyesight, Xiang Tianhong had to admit that he was indeed inferior to Luo Yunhang. Luo Yunhang could always find differences in the subtleties of the same things, but he could not see any big difference.
Realizing that this was not going to work, the two of them immediately changed modes.
Xiang Tianhong was responsible for doing miscellaneous tasks for him, keeping watch, and taking photos to cover up the situation.
Luo Yunhang concentrated on recording the things he found wrong.
With the help of his clairvoyant eyes, he only needed to scan the entire stone wall of the cave first, and then scan the Buddha statues in the cave. Any problems would be gone.
You won’t know if you don’t check, but you will be shocked if you check.
Almost all large grottoes have varying degrees of decoration, some are murals, some are Buddha statues, and even large Buddha statues.
Although he was well prepared, Luo Yunhang was still startled and his face turned red with anger.
These people are too rampant.
What makes him most uncomfortable is that these fake works are really 100% lifelike. No matter how good the restorer is, it may be difficult to see much difference.
So the institute has never found any clues.
If things continue like this, I am afraid that all these things in China will gradually be stolen.
Luo Yunhang carefully wrote down the replaced cultural relics, feeling heartbroken.
Because Luo Yunhang had clairvoyant eyes, he did this job quite quickly. Sometimes, Xiang Tianhong had already finished taking pictures before he even took them.
Xiang Tianhong was also confused as to how he saw it, and in the end he could only regard it as Luo Yunhang's special talent.
The two of them walked non-stop through the grotto, not daring to stop for a moment. They even ate on the way, eating while walking.
The dry biscuits bit their cheeks sorely, but they didn't mind, so they just put some water on them and started working again.
The two of them walked from morning to dark, completing one-third of the task.
Master Li and Dean Duan were both prepared for a long-term battle. They did not expect that they could be so efficient. In one day, one-third of the grotto was completed.
In this way, the task can be completed in two days.
It was a real bonus.
-
The next day, Luo Yunhang and Xiang Tianhong went into the grotto to work as usual.
The two were walking halfway when they were stopped by someone.
"Researcher Xiao Luo, Researcher Xiao Xiang..." The middle-aged man ran over panting.
"Village Chief Qin, what's going on?" Xiang Tianhong asked proactively.
The person who came was none other than Village Chief Qin from a nearby village. He and his men were in charge of guarding the grotto.
After coming here for the past few days, they have become familiar with each other. The head of Qin Village is quite nice. He often brings them some homemade donkey meat for roasting or local delicacies. These researchers respect him very much.
"I heard Liu Laoer say that you were wandering around the grotto all day yesterday. What were you doing? Although I shouldn't doubt you, out of duty, I still have to remind you to be careful of the Buddha statues in the grotto. Don't dare to cause any problems." Village Chief Qin reminded him with a smile.
"We came here from Tianzhou City to study. We brought cameras and a lot of film, just to take pictures and record these Buddha statues.
You see, just like this, it will stay in my camera forever. These will be precious memories in the future. "Xiang Tianhong demonstrated it to him in person.
Luo Yunhang also said cheerfully: "Village Chief Qin, don't worry, we are being careful. Even if we are taking pictures, we will not damage our Buddha statue."
Village Chief Qin looked at the camera with envy on his face. He knew the meaning of taking pictures, which was to leave images.
More than ten or twenty years ago, when he got married, he and his wife went to a photo studio in the city to take a rare photo.
And these two young men actually carried cameras with them.
He scratched his head: "I know about your camera."
After the two sides said goodbye, Luo Yunhang and Xiang Tianhong went to the grotto, while Village Chief Qin walked back to the village.
After walking more than ten meters away, Village Chief Qin suddenly turned around and shouted sheepishly: "Comrade Xiao Luo, can you please take a photo of our family? I want to send it to my son who is in college. He has been there for almost three years." Not going home.”
Luo Yunhang felt sad when he heard this. The place in Gansu Province is poor and the educational resources are not good. It is not easy to become a college student. It seems that the family is too short of money, so the child has not been home for several years.
"Okay! No problem. Let's wait until we finish our work in the past two days. Let's do it the day after tomorrow. We will go to your house early the morning after tomorrow. You can just wait at home." Luo Yunhang readily agreed.
Village Chief Qin shouted cheerfully: "Thank you then."
"I heard that Village Chief Qin's son got a bachelor's degree from a university in Southern Province. He was the first child in his village to get into university."
Luo Yunhang and Xiang Tianhong were still discussing as they walked.
"It's really not easy. I heard from researchers at the institute that the first batch of college students who came here to put down roots, after they got married and had children and settled down here, due to the lack of educational resources, few of their children were able to enter college or study for a bachelor's degree. A technical secondary school would be good.”
"Yes, there are many such situations in the research institute. The couple are obviously college students, but here, the child is delayed.
This kind of dedication may be difficult for you and me to achieve in this life. Xiang Tianhong also sighed.
The two of them were busy until noon and were preparing to eat.
Luo Yunhang suddenly noticed with sharp eyes that someone was following them secretly.
Through the thick grotto with his clairvoyant eyes, he saw a man hiding in the corner of the cave next door, secretly observing them.
Luo Yunhang knew this man. He was also one of the cave keepers. Other researchers called him Brother Dumb.
Because he can't speak, but he always smiles when he meets everyone.
Luo Yunhang was confused, why did he follow secretly? Could he be the traitor?
But, he is a mute. Who would leave such an important thing to a mute to complete?
He pretended to continue eating as if nothing had happened, but secretly told Xiang Tianhong about being followed, and the two of them kept silent from then on.
Another busy day.
As everyone knows, in the research institute, Dean Duan and Master Li have already made a careful plan to trap this traitor in Mogao Grottoes.
