Chapter 172: I Know Who the Tomb Robbers Is
"Hey, handsome guy, can you do me a favor?"
Just as Su Chen was silently moving forward, a very pleasant female voice came.
"Are you calling me?" Su Chen looked left and right, and then asked the girl who spoke with some confusion, a little girl with her hair tied in a ponytail.
"Yes, it's you, can you do me a favor?" The girl looked pretty good, and waved her hand at Su Chen at this time.
Su Chen had no choice but to walk over and wondered, "What's the hurry?"
"I know that Sister Zhi accidentally broke her foot just now, can you help me take the luggage?" The little girl pointed to a girl in front of her and said, "I think you can walk quite easily, if you can't do it, forget it." ”
Su Chen looked in the direction of her finger and saw that it was the beautiful woman who was said to be the Cultural Relics Protection Association before, and there was indeed something wrong with her walking at this time.
"Good. ”
With a gesture, Su Chen did not refuse.
"That's great, you come with me. I saw that the girl walked forward quickly, stopped the beauty, and then said a few words to her, the beauty turned her head and looked at Su Chen in surprise.
"Give me your things, and I'll take them for you. There's still some way to go, and you're on your foot, so it's not easy to walk. Su Chen walked over and showed a gentle smile.
"Hello, I'm Anzhi, that ...... I'm sorry for you. An Zhi pursed his lips slightly, then nodded in agreement.
She originally wanted to go on her own, but this foot did hurt more and more, and if she continued, she would probably fall behind.
He took the luggage from An Zhi's hand with one hand and smiled at her.
"Wow, handsome guy, your strength is quite big, I know that the guy in my sister's bag is not light. At first, the girl said with some surprise.
"Hehe, it's okay. ”
Guo Jun, who was in the rear, saw that Su Chen was actually walking with the beautiful women of the archaeological team, and they looked like they were talking happily, so he remembered the situation when he had just hit the wall, and he couldn't help but feel a little itchy with hatred.
When he came to the excavation site, An Zhi couldn't hold on for the first time, and sat directly on the ground, his pretty eyebrows wrinkled into Sichuan characters, and his face was full of pain.
Seeing this, Su Chen put down the things in his hand and squatted down: "Do you mind if I help you take a look?"
"Huh?"
Su Chen pointed to her left ankle: "Your foot should be seriously injured, if you don't deal with it, I estimate that you won't be able to participate in the archaeological excavation work in a few days." ”
"That'...... All right. An Zhi listened, hesitated for a while, and then nodded slowly.
After An Zhi gently withdrew his shoes, seeing her tender white ankles, which were already red and swollen like a big steamed bun, Su Chen frowned: "You are injured...... I'll give you a massage first. ”
The hand lightly touched An Zhi's little feet, and An Zhi's body couldn't help but tremble.
Su Chen didn't care, and after a few strokes, he took out the bone-setting wine from his backpack.
"You still have this?" An Zhi's face was flushed at this time, and he didn't know if it was pain or shyness.
"It is necessary to travel far away, and most of the archaeological work is in the deep mountains and old forests, which are necessary. Su Chen said lightly.
After helping An Zhi rub the medicinal wine, Su Chen said, "You better rest today, this foot is not suitable for work." ”
An Zhi could only nod, she also knew that participating in the excavation work in this situation could only be of no help.
After settling down with An Zhi a little, Su Chen returned to Liu Qingyuan's side, at this time, he was studying how to carry out his work with several archaeologists, and what he was holding in his hand was the map drawn by Su Chen.
The excavation tools and large equipment have been brought in, and they are waiting for the order to be issued.
"Go to this point first, if we can find the traces left by the tomb robbers, our first excavation direction will be here, and then this cave will be one, and first determine the direction and size of this tomb group!"
Su Chen didn't know much about archaeological excavations, so he just watched from the sidelines, waited until a few people decided on the direction, and then asked, "Old Liu, you can arrange a job for me." ”
"There's nothing to do but dig now. ”
Archaeological work is like this, it is very boring, but Su Chen did not complain, this kind of archaeological experience is not something that anyone can experience.
An Zhi has been resting on the side, everyone knows that she has broken her foot, not to mention that she is still a big beauty, so everyone didn't say anything.
And An Zhi, who was a little bored, kept his eyes on Su Chen's body.
She was a little curious about this particular boy.
It's just a feeling, this boy named Su Chen gives her a mysterious feeling.
Fang just forgot to ask, which city's cultural relics bureau he is. An Zhi thought silently in his heart.
At this moment, Guo Jun walked over.
"Ann Meinu, are your feet alright?" he said, licking his face.
An Zhi frowned slightly, what does this guy mean by this?
"It's okay, thank you for your concern. An Zhi's tone was a little cold.
Guo Jun's face stiffened, and he said a few more words, but An Zhi didn't look salty or light, so he didn't continue to talk about himself, and left embarrassedly.
After all, the archaeological team was professional, and in the following two days, after a lot of surveys, the size of this tomb complex was finally determined.
It is 600 meters long from east to west, and 700 meters from north to south!
It is a large group of burial mounds.
When this information was confirmed, the entire archaeological team was boiling, such a large tomb, even if it was not the Sui Wen Emperor who had speculated at the beginning, it must be a family-style burial place, and the status in the society at that time must be extremely high, with great archaeological research value.
At the end of the exploration, it was hard work to excavate, and it took two days to excavate a tomb pit about 100 meters long.
"Su Xiaoyou, you can do the cleaning of cultural relics with everyone later. ”
On the fifth day, the grave had already begun to be excavated, and most of them were pottery, so some professionals were going to be in charge of cleaning it.
"Professor Liu, this work of cleaning up cultural relics is the easiest, I'm afraid it's a bit inappropriate to let a big old man do it, right? There are so many women in the team, and Miss Anzhi is also injured, so it's just right to clean up the cultural relics. ”
Before Su Chen could speak, Guo Jun on the side pouted directly, and smiled at An Zhi on the side after speaking.
"This ...... Su Xiaoyou, what do you think?" Liu Qingyuan lowered his head and thought about it, and asked.
"I don't care, I can just dig like I did the other day. Su Chen shrugged and was noncommittal.
For him, it's good to have access to more artifacts, but it's also important to have such an experience, and it's not a big deal.
"Okay then, Su Chen, you can follow me down to the grave. Liu Qingyuan nodded, and then said to An Zhi: "Little girl, you and a few women are responsible for cleaning up the unearthed cultural relics." ”
In fact, in Liu Qingyuan's thoughts, although the work of cleaning up cultural relics is easy, there are many things that need to be paid attention to at times, Su Chen is bold and thoughtful, and he has a wide range of knowledge, which is very suitable, but it is not suitable to let a big man do this, especially when the manpower is still a little nervous.
After arranging the work, Liu Qingyuan didn't stay long, and went directly to the grave.
The entire excavation site was divided into five directions and excavated at the same time, and he was responsible for the cave that came out of the cave, which was also the fastest place to excavate.
Su Chen followed Liu Qingyuan down the grave.
"Old Liu, hasn't the tomb been exposed yet?" Su Chen asked casually as he looked at the archaeologists around him who were working intensively.
"Only partially exposed, the place was visited twice by tomb robbers, causing a certain amount of damage. Liu Qingyuan's tone was a little helpless.
"Twice?" Su Chen was a little surprised.
"Yes, as I said before, there have been two landslides in this burial area, the first time we first researched it and thought it was a geographical collapse, but when we came in, we found that this was not the case, and it should have been caused by tomb robbers...... You come and see here. While explaining, Liu Qingyuan took Su Chen to the blocked place that the group encountered when they went down the cave before.
"This is a bullet!?" Looking at those bullet holes and a few bullets scattered, Su Chen suddenly understood.
This is where someone had a shootout that led to the collapse of the tomb.
"Well, we have sealed this place for the time being, waiting for the police to come and investigate. Liu Qingyuan sighed and said: "Alas, I don't know what the cultural relics inside have been destroyed, these tomb robbers have destroyed the tomb in a mess, which has made our excavation work much more difficult." ”
Su Chen was silent.
Under normal circumstances, when the tomb is complete, as long as the tomb is excavated, it is basically considered to have completed the most difficult preliminary stage, and as for the back, it is nothing more than some detailed work and highly professional excavation work.
But now, after the two collapses, the interior of this tomb has become very complicated, and it is no wonder that Professor Pan said that it will be spent here in the second half of this year.
Soon, the two were at the forefront of the excavation.
Several people are picking up some excavated artifacts.
These cultural relics should be funerary goods placed at random, and the value is not very high, and they are basically cultural relics before the Sui Dynasty.
"Su Xiaoyou, what do you think of this tomb group?" Gently picking up a clay pot that had just been unearthed, Liu Qingyuan asked.
But after waiting for a long time, he heard Su Chen's voice for a long time, Liu Qingyuan turned around with some curiosity, but found that Su Chen was stunned.
"Su Xiaoyou, Su Xiaoyou?" Liu Qingyuan called out to him with some confusion.
"Ah, I thought of it!" Su Chen suddenly screamed, startling Liu Qingyuan.
But then Liu Qingyuan asked with some curiosity: "Eh, Su Xiaoyou, what did you think of?"
"No, Liu Lao, I thought about who the tomb robber is!"
The corners of Su Chen's mouth hooked a meaningful arc.
"Tomb robbers, isn't it the Master's Gate?" Liu Qingyuan was also stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting Su Chen to say this.
"Of course it's not the Master's Gate, Liu Lao, you know this tomb robber. ”
"I know me too?" Liu Qingyuan was even more confused.
"He Wenchang!"
