The years of reselling the haunted house

Chapter 442 Prehistoric Creatures
Ma Di glared at me: "Why are you so excited? I've already said that my conjecture is just a prototype, and it hasn't gone through any conclusions. What kind of big discovery?"

I waved my hand: "Old horse, old horse, I think your conjecture is very thoughtful. I know that prehistoric animals include mammoths and archaeopteryx, so do you think you can determine which animal you saw? ?”

Ma Di slapped his thigh and said angrily, "I told you I forgot. When I woke up after coma, I didn't have any impression of the important characteristics of that animal. I only remembered that it was huge. , a bit like a large animal like a tiger or a lion, but this is just a little impression left in my mind, and I can't be sure. Otherwise, you know that I study paleontology, and I will pursue any evidence of."

I nodded, I believe what Ma Su said.If it is really a prehistoric animal discovered by Ma Di, then Ma Di, as a professional scholar, will never let it go.

However, I am also very interested in Ma Su's conjecture.Think about it, prehistoric creatures that have been extinct for tens of thousands of years have actually appeared in reality, even if it is just a kind of ghost beast, that is exciting enough.

I thought for a while and asked, "Old Ma, there are only a few kinds of prehistoric animals. You should be able to find them with the elimination method, right?"

Ma Di shook his head: "Wrong. What you said is wrong. Prehistoric creatures cover a wide range, and there are definitely many types. As far as the two animals you just mentioned, Archeopteryx and mammoth, there is a huge difference in the age of life. Mammoth It lived in the Quaternary glacial area from 200 million to 1 years ago, while Archeopteryx lived in the early Titong stage of the Jurassic, about 1 million to 5 million years ago. Tens of thousands of years ago. How many years have you calculated the difference between the two?"

I tried to do the math, but gave up right away: "Why am I doing the math? I don't understand what you're talking about."

Ma Di smiled and said: "I just want to tell you that there are so many kinds of prehistoric animals, and it is impossible to find the ghost beast I saw that day. However, I also tried to calculate, what I saw that day should be A large mammal, such as the saber-toothed cat that lived in the Miocene-Pleistocene period. It can only be said that this is the most likely."

I nodded: "Okay, old horse, I won't discuss prehistoric creatures with you here. I feel that this has nothing to do with my purpose. Originally, I came to study Yinwen, but I talked for a long time Prehistoric creatures. Since you don't want to mention this matter, you don't need to worry about it. I'll go back and discuss it with my third uncle."

"That won't work." I didn't expect that just after I finished saying this, Ma Di waved his hand with a straight eyebrow: "You boy, you are not authentic. I almost forgot about this. You came here and reminded me of this paragraph." Memories. I don’t care about the inscriptions or not. But if this prehistoric creature is really a ghost beast, it can be connected with the inscriptions. Do you think I can ignore it?”

I smiled wryly and said, "Lao Ma, I'm also doing it for your own good. You don't know what kind of danger my third uncle and I have encountered. It's not an exaggeration to say that I almost won't see you. If you get involved again , I would be a sinner."

Ma Di waved his hand: "Don't talk nonsense. You kid don't involve me anymore? Besides, am I, Ma Di, a person who is afraid of death? If I can find out this prehistoric creature, I will be worth it even if I die."

As Ma Di said, the originally dim eyes shone brightly, as if he was full of longing for the future.

Seeing Ma Di's resolute attitude and knowing Ma Di's temper, I smiled and said, "Then let's go? Third uncle is waiting for news from me at home."

Ma Di waved his hand, "Let's go."

After finishing speaking, Ma Di packed up his own things in a small bag and carried it on his back, and left the college with me in a hurry.

I smiled and said, "In such a hurry? Where are your students? You don't need to go to class?"

Ma Di waved his hand: "This semester's classes are almost done, and the rest can be left to the teaching assistant to talk about."

I drove Ma Di back to the hotel from the college, and I spent a lot of time at Ma Di's side. When I returned to my third uncle's room, I saw my third uncle and Pang Dahai eating a bowl of instant noodles.

The third uncle picked up the noodles with a fork, and his mouth was full of soup.

"Old man, you have earned so much money, it's a bit unreasonable to give this to the children." Ma Di yelled before he even entered the room.

When the third uncle heard the door knock, he saw me first, and didn't notice Ma Di behind him. He didn't realize until he heard the sound.

Seeing Ma Di, the third uncle swallowed the instant noodles in his mouth, pointed at Ma Di with a fork and said vaguely: "You weird old man, you... why are you here?"

I knew that the two of them would not be happy when they met without a fight, so I hurriedly said, "Third Uncle, I invited the old horse here. You two have to fight, and we will do it after we settle the matter."

Ma Di threw the bag on the bed, and said to the third uncle: "That's right, old-fashioned. When the guests come, they don't say to stand up and welcome them."

There is not a small age difference between the two, but they always talk and laugh first when they meet.This time it was relatively calm, if you want to put it aside, you have to pinch it.

Neither of them is ignorant of the general situation, and talking and joking is enough.

Ma Di and I also made a bowl of noodles, and the four of us talked about Yinwen and the old house while eating the noodles.

I first told Uncle San and Pang Dahai what I got from Ma Di.

When I mentioned that Ma Su suspects that there is a kind of ghost beast in the world, and this kind of ghost beast is probably a prehistoric creature.

I saw Pang Dahai and Third Uncle stopped eating noodles, opened their mouths, dumbfounded.

Their reaction was exactly what I expected.

The third uncle simply put down the instant noodle bucket, patted Ma Di on the shoulder and said, "I'm talking about Professor Ma, you tell the Taoist. How true is your theory?"

Pang Dahai and I couldn't help laughing at the change in Uncle's attitude.

Ma Di ate noodles on his own, ignoring his third uncle.

The third uncle stepped forward and snatched the instant noodles: "I said you have never eaten instant noodles in your life, why? I will buy you a drink later. You should tell the Taoist..."

Ma Di said angrily: "I have told Li Yang several times that this theory is just a prototype in my mind. Why are you so interested in this?"

The third uncle said: "Of course you are interested. Because your theory is similar to what I have learned. The combination of the two should be able to deduce the secret of the stone tablet and the writing on the wall of the house."

It seems that the third uncle sent me and Pang Dahai away, and he himself was not idle, so he must have been listening to this information.

So I asked curiously: "Third Uncle, what did you know? Where did you know it?"
