"Whew!" Wen Xiaoman looked back angrily, who was it, if her head hit like this again, she would have a concussion sooner or later.

I saw Li Yuan standing behind her and Zhong Sheng, crossing his waist domineeringly, and said arrogantly: "Why are you two in a daze?

"Hmm, Li Yuan, you've finished writing your report?" Zhong Sheng rubbed Xiao Man's head with a pampered face, and threatened Li Yuan with pity.

"Huh, you're so fierce......" Li Yuan's arrogance immediately weakened, "Ahem, what, Xiaoman, it's great that you can come back, let me help you make up for all the internship work you have missed!"

Wen Xiaoman raised his chin and proudly pulled out a pair of gloves from Li Yuan's hand, with the words "Acting for the Tiger" written on the left face, and the villain Dezhi written on the right face, and laughed twice: "Regarding my work arrangement, please discuss it with my boyfriend Zhong Sheng, okay." ”

After speaking, she shook her gloves while whistling, and walked away in a beautiful mood, leaving Zhong Sheng and Li Yuan petrified on the spot.

After a long while, Zhong Sheng slowly turned his head and said to Li Yuan in a daze: "She, she, she just called me boyfriend." ”

Li Yuan also turned his head sluggishly, and after staring at him for a few seconds, he suddenly jumped to his feet: "Ah, yes, lovers should be burned to death, burned to death!"

In fact, the on-site excavation of the site of the Fengli brewing workshop has been basically completed, and the rest is basically the sorting of the excavated cultural relics.

Unfortunately, at the end of the excavation, no more liquid wine was unearthed.

It will be a pity, knowing this result, Wen Xiaoman looked at Zhong Sheng worriedly: "It's okay, next time, the next excavation will definitely happen." ”

Zhong Sheng sighed deeply, that was the first time Wen Xiaoman saw confusion in his eyes: "Actually, I don't know what I'm obsessed with, if I want to say that it's for the teacher, it's not, I'm not such a pedantic person." From the first day of entering the industry, every archaeologist knows what cultural relics can be excavated, most of them rely on the will of God, and all an individual can do is make bold guesses and carefully verify them. It stands to reason that the liquid itself is not suitable for preservation, alcohol is more volatile, and it is normal for liquid ancient wine to not be discovered, and it is an accident that it can be discovered. I didn't really have to dig up the old sake, I was just scared.

Since then, he has been studying the protection of the cultural relics of ancient wine all his life, just to make the unearthed ancient wine preserve for a longer time. He had so many students, only I had been with him the longest, and he taught him this knowledge and never hid it, so that when he was old, sick, and unable to come to the front line of archaeological work, I could inherit his mantle.

"The work we do is called protective excavation, why is it called protective excavation, because under the premise that the technical conditions are not mature, it is the best protection to let the cultural relics remain underground, and the reason why we have to excavate is because we have to excavate, that is, in the rescue! Xiaoman, you have only been to one archaeological site in Fengli, you don't know how many good things in Henan and Shaanxi have been ruined by tomb thieves, and how many ancient tombs have been excavated because they have been dug by tomb thieves. I sometimes fear that maybe there is a liquid old wine that has been miraculously preserved, but because of the theft, it has volatilized, deteriorated, or ...... Directly to the ground by the eyeless tomb robbers, they carried the bronzes they thought were more valuable. ”

Wen Xiaoman looked at him quietly, the more he said to the end, the more his voice trembled, the powerlessness was like a doctor who failed to save the patient's life, real and real sadness.

She had read those tomb robbery novels before, watching the main characters in the stories have thrilling adventures in ancient tombs, and she would participate in internships with the archaeological team, and to a greater or lesser extent, she was also influenced by these stories.

But now, after listening to Zhong Sheng's words, she realized for the first time how different archaeology is from tomb robbing, and even associating these two things together is a blasphemy against archaeological work.

Wen Xiaoman gently hugged him from behind, resting his chin on his shoulder, and just like that, quietly and silently, conveyed her understanding and her respect to him.

It is said that hugging is the moment when two hearts are closest to each other, and there is no love or hatred, and there is nothing to do with lust, but a simple hug can pass on strength to people.

Gradually, Zhong Sheng's heartbeat calmed down, he patted Xiaoman's arm gently, smiled with relief, and said: "Well, I said too much, it's okay, liquid ancient wine is valuable, and other cultural relics are worthless? ”

Wen Xiaoman let go of his hand in a daze, let Zhong Sheng go back to the operating table, and in the face of the mountains of broken porcelain pieces, he cleaned, numbered, and filed them one by one.

Fragments like this have accumulated several sacks in the past few months of archaeological work, which are distributed in different soil layers and different exploration directions, and because of accidental or inevitable reasons, they have outrun the time and have been preserved to this day, and then excavated by the archaeological team and rediscovered the light of day.

Some of these fragments may be just a lonely corner, and the cultural value carried on them is limited after all, but he still gives these unearthed artifacts the respect they deserve. He said that there is no waste on the archaeological site, and that there is no trivial matter in the preservation of cultural heritage, and in his eyes, these fragments have been stripped of economic significance, and he loves them just as much as fine and complete ceramics.

What should I think of the man in front of her, she thought.

He has an almost obsessive rigor in the professional field, but in fact he is an extraordinarily gentle and considerate man, well-educated, well-born, bookish but broad-minded, able to forgive others and let himself go.

What a nice person, she thought.

How fortunate she was to meet him.

She smiled, stepped forward, and suddenly grabbed his arm: "Did I say I liked you before?" ”

"Uh, no, no?"

"Now, Zhong Sheng, I like you so much. It's been a long time since I've expressed my love for someone so warmly and bluntly, Wen Xiaoman smiled so happily, suddenly stood on tiptoe, and rubbed Zhong Sheng's hair very hard.

Wen Xiaoman looked at Zhong Sheng's hair that was rubbed by her with great satisfaction, and suddenly straightened his face again, like a middle school class teacher, and said to Zhong Sheng sternly: "Work hard, don't be distracted, it's all cultural relics." ”

As soon as the words fell, Wen Xiaoman pretended to flee the scene.

Zhong Sheng was a little stunned by her surprise, and he was holding a pen between his fingers, but suddenly turned around unconsciously.

The corners of his mouth curled slightly, and he recalled the conversation just now in his heart, and licked his lips a little embarrassed.

She said she liked it, she liked herself.

The sense of contentment in Zhong Sheng's heart was infinitely magnified by these two words, and the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were dyed with peach blossoms.

However, he scratched at his messy hair in frustration.

But it's absolutely not okay to touch your head or something! But this time...... Hey, forget it, let her go.

Zhong Sheng and Wen Xiaoman were busy in the archaeological laboratory for a long day, and only finished their work in the evening. Zhong Sheng left last, and before leaving, he had to check the security measures again before locking it, and Wen Xiaoman was waiting for him outside.

"Wen Xiaoman?"

Hearing someone call his name, Wen Xiaoman looked back and found that Qin Guming, director of the Fengli R&D Center, was standing not far away, with two assistants standing beside him.

Wen Xiaoman didn't expect to meet Qin Guming here, his heartbeat skipped a beat, as if he had been caught skipping work, and greeted him in a panic: "Eh, Director Qin, why are you here?"

Qin Guming and the assistants beside him gave a few orders, let them go first, stay by themselves, and said to Wen Xiaoman with a smile: "This is Fengli Distillery, am I surprised to be here." But aren't you going back to school to get your graduation?"

These words seemed very meaningful at this moment, and Wen Xiaoman said curtly: "No, Director Qin, the graduation certificate has not been issued yet, so ......"

Qin Guming looked at her with a smile: "I'm not urging you, but ...... Won't you tell me who he is?"

Wen Xiaoman was stunned, only to find that Zhong Sheng had walked behind her.

"He's ......"

"Hello, I'm Wen Xiaoman's boyfriend, Zhong Sheng. Zhong Sheng didn't wait for Wen Xiaoman to finish speaking, and took the initiative to stretch out his hand to Qin Guming, his tone was neither humble nor arrogant, and his posture was polite and courteous.

Hearing him say this, Wen Xiaoman's face burned a little, and he looked at him in a daze.

He is the youngest archaeologist in China, and he is a cultural preservation expert invited by the Yizhou Provincial Institute of Archaeology.

This...... How to make her not rejoice.

"Fengli Liquor R&D Center, Qin Guming. Hearing Zhong Sheng's name, Qin Guming's expression also became solemn, and after shaking hands, he looked at Wen Xiaoman with a smile, "I see, Professor Zhong is young and promising, I have heard of it, Xiaoman, you have picked up a treasure, but you have to cherish it." ”

Qin Guming's words were a little frightened, and he hurriedly echoed: "Director Qin, what are you talking about." ”

Qin Guming waved his hand and interrupted her with some impatience: "Okay, don't perfunctory me, after you get your graduation certificate, go back to the R&D center as soon as possible." The sooner you come back to work, the sooner I can give you a 'regular'." ”

Qin Guming's last sentence was a little unclear, and the word "turn positive" was also strange, Wen Xiaoman intuitively felt that something was wrong, and even waited for Qin Guming to leave for a long time, still thinking about his words.

Sensing that something was wrong with Xiao Man, Zhong Sheng couldn't help but clench her hand and shook it gently: "He's your colleague?"

"It can be said that the top boss, he is the director of the R&D center. ”

"Such a young R&D director, is he married?"

"Well, how do I know this, and when it comes to youth, you're not qualified to talk about others. ”
