After arriving in the village, because we had been away for quite a long time, we had to go back to our respective places to look at it, so we made a plan, the fat man was responsible for the preparation of the equipment, and I continued the work of collecting information.

After returning to Hangzhou, I began to implement my plan.

When I was making a plan with the fat man, I had n’t figured out how to collect this information. Later, I thought about it carefully. To understand the life experience of the oil bottle, you may need to start with formal channels.The previous investigation showed that the people on the Tao did not understand him, and may have participated in the archaeological team in the 1980s, and the organization should have a record.At that time, participating in this kind of project required a clean family. I might be able to find clues in Changsha's old archives, at least to find his organizational relationship, and then to find one or two people who knew him, or any traces.So I plan to start in this area.

However, the city archives, especially the personnel archives, are kept secret, and the old archives cannot be obtained without red-headed documents. This archaeological team was formed in the early 1980s and something happened. It is likely to be classified as confidential. It's not that easy to see.

In addition, the best way to find archives is to start with the research institute that sent the archaeological team back then. It has only been more than two decades, and it should not be too long. It should still be there.

I do n’t know which research institute in Changsha, but there would n’t be so many names at that time. There may be only one research institute related to archaeology.At that time, most of them were students, so it is likely to be a unit in the university, and it should not be difficult to verify.

After a few searches, it turned out that as I thought, there was indeed an old research institute in the same situation as I thought. It has now been merged and the old site is on the campus of a famous university.

The university is about to relocate. When Wang Meng and I passed, the outside world was completely dismantled. The land was estimated to have been sold to a real estate company.If you are a few months later, you may only see a flat ground.

Even if there is a clue that the institute merged, the archives may be merged into the new institute, and there is a high possibility that they will remain in the archives room of the old university.I am well aware of the organization, and I am not convinced that the archives more than 20 years ago will still be popular.

But this matter is not easy to inquire. I entrusted my relationship. I took a few bends in the old relationship of the third uncle and found a person who worked in the research institute. , I sent two Chinese cigarettes, asked the situation, he said that the office has changed places, but the files are still in the school, the institute and the university have nepotism, many of them are lecturers in the university, I want to think See, he can take me in. In addition to the inconvenience at the door, the inside is relatively loose, but the old files are difficult to check, so I do n’t have too much hope.

Without further ado, I went that night.

The old building of this university can be seen to have been changed by the previous hospital. The archive room is on the ground floor of the auditorium. There are hundreds of square meters. It is simply a warehouse. It takes no effort. Dujuan Mountain and I follow the low and narrow Go down the corridor, there are no lights below, it is completely dark, a flashlight, all rows of rows of wooden shelves, above are kraft paper file bags, thick and thin, completely broken, horizontally and vertically Yes, most of them have a layer of ash on them, and it smells like a damp paper tip.

Dujuan Mountain told me that all the frequently used files after 1995 have been removed, and the rest will not move for many years. It is estimated that no one will turn it over when it is going to be destroyed.

I looked at this situation and felt eerie.But this is also just right. The temperature in Changsha in August is quite high, and it will feel cooler at night. With this shade, the coolness is very comfortable.I bit the flashlight and fanned it, rummaging through the old wooden shelves.

Speaking of which, I know that Tsinghua University has a library management department. It still felt strange at the time. What else is good for library management?Seeing the size of this archive room, I realized that people who can manage these things are also called geniuses. Looking at these bookshelves, ordinary people must have black eyes. This is only a unit archive room of a research institute. If it is the National Archives The amount of trillions, how many people have to deal with it in order to play?

Dujuan Mountain was afraid that I would break into him and kept looking at him. He helped me find it together and asked me some details to help filter it.

For some special reasons, China's archive system is very perfect, as long as it follows certain rules and as long as the archives are still there, it will definitely be found.Unfortunately, I am like a headless fly now. I only know the approximate year. I do n’t even know the number of the archaeological team.

After searching for a long time, I found nothing.My idea is to find by year. All the files here are sorted by year, so as long as you find similar investigation files between 1980 and 1985, you can get information from the participants.Changsha is located in Chudi. Although there are relatively many archaeological activities, the absolute number is not much. One shelf is full.I didn't want to go through the five-year archives, and I didn't see any document bags related to Xisha archaeology.

My heart is strange, and ask Azalea Mountain, is there any other place?

He shook his head and said that if it was gone, it was basically true. Unless the file was in the confidential archive room, it would not be put in this place.Otherwise, it was specially destroyed.

In my heart, it's unlikely, even if the archaeology is a secret, there is no such thing as a secret.

He comforted me that this was a common thing. Perhaps as you said, the archaeological team went missing afterwards, which was considered a major event. In order to keep the secret, the files were disposed of.

We put the portfolio neatly and we were a little depressed, but we also expected that things would not be so easy.

I walked out of the archive room sorrowfully, and it was a pity that I spent two cigarettes in vain, and wanted to do what to do next.If this road doesn't work, it really is like a bottle of oil, he is a person who has no intersection with this world.

At this time, I suddenly saw the stairwell in front of me, and the stairs that continue to go down, it seems that there is still a floor under the archives.There was an iron door at the entrance of the stairs with a thick rusty iron chain locked on it, and there was a seal of unknown age attached to the door.

"Where is this?" I asked.

"This is the archive room before the 1950s. During the Cultural Revolution, I was locked in fear of the troubles of the rebels, and nobody has opened this door for decades."

"Really?" I took a flashlight to take photos, clearly seeing that the rusty chain had been cut by someone, just hanging on it and pretending to be.If you don't look closely, it's really not easy to notice.
