Chapter 51: The Sand Sea Ditch
Listening to what the teacher said, Xia Tanhe didn't continue to fight with Xu Ran.
Xu Ran directly pushed the tricycle into the warehouse, cleared out an empty space, spread a thick blanket on it, and carefully unloaded all the antique fragments.
After pushing the tricycle out, Xu Ran brought two more tables and put them next to the blanket.
Tan Nian brought two large basins, asked Xu Ran for some chemical reagents, and began to debug the cleaning liquid in one basin, and poured water in the other basin.
Xu Ran brought two electric fans and put them aside and plugged them in, and several people began to get busy.
Song Wenli was not idle at this meeting, and also participated.
He sat aside, picked out the antique fragments that had been cleaned up by the mud and took a closer look, and asked the three of them about the origin and origin of the antiques themselves reflected by the fragments, as well as the cultural characteristics of the historical period they represented.
In this process, Xu Ran went out, bought some watermelons and came back to the ice, and washed the fruits and put a plate next to each person, so that they could eat and rest when they were tired.
Knowing that they were going to arrive at Shahaigouzi at about five o'clock in the afternoon, Xu Ran called Du Dongping in advance and asked him to drive the H5 over, and he wanted to borrow it.
I was busy until about half past three in the afternoon, and the cleaning and patchwork of those antique fragments was done by four people, and the efficiency was still very high, and half of it was completed.
Xu Ran planned to deal with the rest by himself, so he asked them to stop and rest and eat some chilled watermelon.
At this time, Du Dongping also drove the car over in a timely manner.
As soon as he entered the door and saw such a large number of antique fragments, he couldn't help asking, "Xiao Ran, you're not done yet, where did you get so many of them!"
"Uncle Li dug it up and pulled it here!"
Xu Ran explained briefly, and then introduced Tan Nian and Xia Tanhe to Du Dongping.
Hearing that two are Xu Ran's good friends in the Western Capital, and one is their teacher, Du Dongping is very enthusiastic about several people, and said that he will invite a few people to dinner, and he will personally drive a few people to Shahaigouzi when the time comes.
Song Wenli knew that Xu Ran was born as an orphan, and there was an orphanage diagonally opposite, so he proposed to go to the orphanage to have a look.
So Xu Ran took them to the orphanage to visit.
After meeting Grandma Yalin in the orphanage, Song Wenli chatted with Grandma Yalin, looked at the disabled and mentally handicapped orphans, and when he was about to leave, he donated all the 100,000 yuan he had received from He Jiguang to the orphanage.
After coming out of the orphanage, it was time to set off.
Du Dongping proposed that he drive fast and let him send it, Xu Ran said that his driving skills were not bad, and he wanted to send it in person, Du Dongping did not insist, so Xu Ran drove the car away.
……
After all, he has been trained many times in the fragmented space, and Xu Ran's driving skills are already very skilled.
The area around Xia Cheng is a plain area, and when you leave the city, the corn in the fields on both sides of the flat road is ripe and ready to be harvested quickly.
The traffic flow on the road is not large, and Xu Ran's driving speed is relatively fast, very stable.
When Xia Tanhe, who was sitting in the passenger seat, curiously looked at the ripe crops on both sides, he would take pictures with his mobile phone when he saw some places with good scenery, which was not boring.
Song Wenli is closing his eyes and recuperating.
Tan Nian in the back seat was holding a small notebook and writing and drawing on it, as if he was summarizing some of the knowledge taught by the teacher before, very attentively.
It took about ten minutes, and when the car was about to drive to Haisha Town, it was already able to see the sandy environment.
Over the years, each local government has focused on environmental greening and desert renovation projects, and many trees have been planted along the desert.
Over the years, the effect is still relatively significant, and the sandstorms that used to occur very frequently have rarely reappeared in recent years.
The further west you go, the more you go around, there are some saline-alkali barren flats, and there are some vigorous plants growing, and you can see the desert from a distance from the barren beach, as if it reaches straight to the sky.
There are several tourist attractions in Shahai Town, all of which are newly built attractions with desert culture as the main theme, and there are many tourists who come here every year to experience desert characteristic travel.
After arriving in Haisha Town, Xu Ran saw that there was still plenty of time, so he asked if he wanted to visit several scenic spots in Haisha Town.
When Xia Tanhe and Tan Nian heard this, they were still a little moved.
But Song Wenli refused, saying that he would go directly to Shahaigouzi, and if Xia Tanhe and Tan Nian wanted to play, they could come back after the end of this archaeological work.
In fact, the distance between the location of Shahaigou and Haisha Town is equivalent to the length of a round trip from Xia City to Haisha Town, which is still relatively far.
However, driving along the road on the edge of the desert, there are no people, the traffic is smaller, and the speed can be more than 15 hundred.
Therefore, entering the edge of the desert, Xu Ran's speed soaring to one hundred and eight is not a problem, which naturally saves time.
Instead, Xia Tanhe was stimulated, and he wanted to snatch the steering wheel from Xu Ran's hand, and try the thrill of speeding himself.
After all, in the metropolitan environment of the Western Capital, the road congestion is very serious, even some roads in the suburbs, the traffic flow is very large, and you can't experience the thrill of speeding at all.
And some second-generation and princelings in the metropolis seen on the Internet usually block the road at night to disturb the people in order to fly and experience a fast and furious car, or because of the news such as drag racing causing traffic accidents, which is not happening at all here in Xiacheng.
It's no problem to drag race here, but when you come to these sparsely populated places outside Haisha Town, it's no problem how fast you drive, and then someone doesn't bother to care about you.
That's why every year these places also host sports such as car rallying, desert racing or polar racing.
It took about 20 minutes or so, and the outline of the sand sea ditch was already in sight.
Shahaigouzi, this name has been called by the locals since ancient times, and it is indeed a relatively special place.
According to Feng Shui, this place is a place where the wind is hidden, and it is a treasure land of Feng Shui.
Geographically speaking, the topography of this place is just like his name, between two huge oval mounds, sandwiched between a very wide trench, about 100 meters long.
If you look down from the sky, there is a more apt metaphor, that is, the buttocks of people.
Although most of the area around the Shahai Trench is desert, the northerly area, where a small river passes, and a small area of loess further north, which is more fertile and suitable for growing crops, is also inhabited.
The last time there was a sandstorm, a long-unknown tomb was opened in Shahaigou, but at that time, some villagers secretly ran to rob the cultural relics in the ancient tomb after discovering the ancient tomb, and it was also after some villagers who knew the law found and reported that this place was known to the world.
The tomb was still a long way from the village, and there were no roads to access, but the archaeological team had set up the camp in a sheltered area between the two to facilitate the passage of supplies through the village.
In an environment bordering the desert, if there is a lack of water, it can be a very serious matter.
Song Wenli's target was the camp of the archaeological team, and Xu Ran couldn't drive an ordinary SUV vehicle.
So he drove to Shagouzi Village, where there was a temporary office established by the archaeological team after the large courtyard of the village committee was requisitioned.
Arriving at the village, Xu Ran parked his car at the door of the village committee and saw a lot of vehicles parked nearby.
In the courtyard of the village committee, there were also many archaeological teams from all over the country who came to participate in the working group, and there were old, middle-aged and young people of different ages, which was quite lively.
