As Qin Sheng said, after setting off, Gu Mei didn't take a refreshing bath.
In towns or cities, as long as you have money, you can take a bath wherever you want, but in some places, no matter how much money you have, it's useless if there's nowhere to bathe.
Although Gu Meng wasn't a particularly spoiled person, she was going crazy now. It had been three days since she last washed her hair, which made her, someone who needed to wash it every other day, feel extremely uncomfortable all over.
Yesterday they were still living in a peasant's home, today it looks like they might have to live outdoors.
"Xiao Gu, have a drink of water!" Zhang Jing came over with a thermos during the break.
Gu Mei raised her head and glanced at the other person, shaking her head: "No need, Jing Jie, I still have water in my thermos."
Perhaps because there were only two women, Gu Xiang and Zhang Jing, in the two teams, from the first day on, Zhang Jing showed kindness to Gu Xiang and would occasionally lend a helping hand.
Although Gu Mei didn't understand the meaning behind Zhang Jing's actions, she couldn't bear to give her a cold face. After all, as the saying goes, "don't hit someone who is smiling at you". Moreover, although Zhang Jing's skin was slightly darker, she was still a pretty and mature beauty. Facing such a beautiful woman, Gu Mei really didn't know how to react awkwardly.
"Judging from your appearance, you don't often go out for a run like this, right? If you feel unbearable, just say so, and we can take a break accordingly. If you don't speak up, these men will find it hard to notice." Zhang Jing saw that Gu Mian's water bottle still had quite some water left, so she didn't force herself and started drinking in small sips.
They have now left the crowded place, and the water in the kettle is being used sparingly. It's only natural to save when you can.
"It's okay, I can still hold on for now. Thanks for your concern, Jing Jie." Gu Mian's physical condition was actually not bad, at first she had some difficulty, but slowly she got better, and Qin Sheng also paid attention to her, seeing that she couldn't handle it would let everyone rest for a while.
It turns out that Qin Sheng got up here and really made a profit, but it's not good to rest frequently. Generally, she can persist if she insists.
"Don't be polite." Zhang Jing smiled and wiped the sweat off her forehead.
"Jing Jie, we've been walking to remote places all the time. When can we arrive? I remember that the newly discovered site wasn't as remote as this." Gu Mian asked, taking advantage of Zhang Jing's initiative to lean in closer.
Yang Lin and others came here first, and the current route was also arranged by Yang Lin and others. Except for Mr. Qiao, Gu Mian and others only knew a general idea, while Zhang Jing, being Yang Lin's relative, probably knew more details.
"You also know that the new site has been visited by people sent by the central government, and we naturally didn't go to join in the excitement. Uncle and Mr. Qiao have both analyzed it. If we follow them to wherever they go, chances are there won't be any discoveries. In previous years, we've also done research, and it's highly likely that there will be new discoveries at a place some distance away from the new site. That's where we're going this time." Zhang Jing said slowly.
"Have you guys gone to see it?" Gu Mian's heart skipped a beat.
"I went to take a look. But we didn't have enough things, and there weren't enough people either. So I just took a look from the outside and couldn't do anything." Zhang Jing said with a smile.
Really didn't do anything?
Gu Xiang expressed deep skepticism about this, but she didn't say anything and casually chatted with Zhang Jing for a few sentences.
"Little Guo, to be honest, I was quite surprised when I first saw you. It's rare for a girl as young as you to join a private expedition team. You must be talented too. I'm also very interested in archaeology, but unfortunately, I don't have much aptitude." Zhang Jing sighed.
"I'm not an archaeology major. I majored in appraisal. I was able to come along because Mr. Qiao and my professor are good friends, and my professor wanted me to gain some experience. But I have to say, I admire Jing Jie more - just by looking at you, I can tell you're a capable person. [Cotton Candy] Anyone can flatter people. If someone visits you but you don't return the visit, that's impolite."
"Appraising antiques is a family affair, we're all about the same." Zhang Jing glanced over at Yang Lin and continued: "It seems like my uncle is looking for me again, I'll go over first, you rest for a bit, we'll be back on the road soon."
"You go ahead." Gu Mian nodded.
As soon as Zhang Jing left, Qin Sheng appeared out of nowhere. He first looked in the direction where Zhang Jing had gone, then sat down beside Gu Mian and handed her a piece of chocolate: "It's not time to eat yet, let's supplement our energy."
Gu Mei didn't bother to be polite with her, she originally liked eating chocolate anyway, and these days she had a big exercise volume, just eating dry food was not interesting: "Just now I asked Zhang Jing, she said it shouldn't take long to reach the destination."
"Hmm, Mr. Qiao also told me that if everything goes smoothly, we should be able to arrive before nightfall today. Just now, Zhang Jing came to ask you something, right?" Qin Sheng asked.
"It's also a kind of cliché, anyway I don't know much about it, even if it is a cliché, nothing can be done. However, she has been taking good care of me on this road, if not for her, I'm not sure if I could have made it this far." Gu Mian shifted her body slightly, feeling that the skin on her head was starting to itch again, but since Qin Sheng was right next to her, she didn't dare to scratch it.
"Anyway, you be careful yourself, sleep tight at night when you have the chance, Mr. Qiao said not to let you stay up late." Qin Sheng said.
"How can this be, you all have to keep watch?" Gu Mian slightly furrowed her brow.
"There's nothing wrong, Gao Wei also said so. You're a girl who came to this kind of place for the first time, and it's already tiring enough during the day. Don't make you stay up at night, anyway we have enough people on hand." Qin Sheng smiled slightly.
At this time, the assistant personnel who came with Mr. Qiao were put to use, making fires and cooking in the wilderness, carrying various things that needed to be used, and setting up tents at night all required those people.
However, the supporting staff did not follow and only two came, leaving the rest at the hotel.
Actually, Gu Mei was already being taken care of. She only carried her personal belongings and some food on her body. The heavier items were all carried by others. Gao Wei had a sturdy build, and Qin Sheng was also capable. The two of them separately took charge of carrying Gu Mei's and Mr. Qiao's things.
"By the way, I asked Zhang Jing earlier if they had gone to check out the place in advance. She said yes, but didn't have any specific actions planned. I think she might be lying." Gu Mian whispered into Qin Sheng's ear.
"Why did you think she was lying?" Qin Sheng replied in a low voice.
"I don't know why, it's just my intuition." Gu Ming said after thinking for a moment.
Qin Sheng smiled slightly, and from the moment he met Gu Mian, he had a feeling that this thing was always on Gu Mian's lips. If it were someone else, he would have listened and let it go, but the problem was that the person who brought it up was Gu Mian.
Basically, all of Gu Miao's intuition has been realized, which makes him unable to ignore it even if he wants to.
Sixth sense is something that can't be explained by science, only countless guesses and experiments.
"Don't you believe?" Gu Mei saw Qin Sheng's low smile and thought he was laughing at her.
"No, I believe a woman's intuition is always accurate." Qin Sheng shook his head and said seriously.
When Gu Mei heard Qin Sheng say "believe in yourself", her mood improved a bit and her eyebrows slightly rose.
Qin Sheng and Gu Mei were talking on one side, while Mr. Qiao was discussing something with Yang Lin on the other side.
Yang Lin saw Qin Sheng and Gu Mei sitting intimately together, and couldn't help but smile at Mr. Qiao: "As the saying goes, men and women work together, not tired, look at these young people nowadays, it's really like that. This little Gu looks quite delicate, I didn't expect her to not complain of fatigue along the way. My niece used to follow me out and would often say she couldn't take it."
"She used to follow the teacher out for walks, and she's not bad, a good seedling." Mr. Qiao glanced in the direction of Qin Sheng and Gu Mian with a smile in his eyes.
To be honest, Gu Xiang really brought some surprises to him. First of all, he picked up a big leak from Lin Hai's hands without saying anything, and on the way, there was no girly pettiness like young girls usually have. Moreover, she seized every opportunity to learn, whether it was He or Gao Wei, or even Yang Lin's side, as long as it increased her knowledge, she would record it seriously.
Qin Sheng and the thing he mentioned, he also considered it carefully, otherwise he would not have agreed to Qin Sheng bringing Gu Xiang along, just hoping that Gu Xiang could bring him more surprises.
After a brief rest, everyone set off again. Qin Sheng walked beside Gu Mian as usual, trying to make her journey as smooth as possible.
Because Mr. Qiao had instructed them to arrive at a suitable place to pitch their tents before nightfall, the group quickened their pace and finally arrived at the place Yang Lin had mentioned before dark.
There are still some traces of people staying here, Zhang Jing said that these were left by them before, and according to this place not far from here is the destination of this time, there is also a clean water source nearby, just right to stop and repair.
Gu Mei has slowly adapted to the pace of rushing on the road over the past few days, but after a day's journey, she is still exhausted. After barely helping everyone set up their tents, she was too tired to move.
Fortunately, the men on their side were more considerate of her, and Yang Lin's people didn't bother to take care of Guan Mian either. Dinner was naturally made by others, don't look at Gao Wei who looked rough but cooked well, making delicious food under limited conditions is not ordinary.
"Xiao Gu, tomorrow morning we'll go over first and take a look. You and Qin Sheng will stay here for now." After dinner, Mr. Qiao called out to several people and began assigning tasks for the next day.
