Since he had made a decision, Luo Xu had nothing to worry about, and drove Wu Qiming and his party directly to the pond in Liujiazhuang.

He stopped the car at the edge of the pond, and everyone got out of the car one after another.

Wu Qiming looked at the pond next to him, frowned, and asked, "Xiao Luo, won't it be here?"

Luo Xu pointed to the surface of the lake, "Yes, I found it underwater." ”

Wu Qiming said: "If you are underwater, it will add great difficulties to the excavation work." ”

Luo Xu nodded and said, "Yes, and this pond is very strange, it has the most water in autumn and winter, and in summer, it often dries up." ”

Wu Qiming said: "It seems that we came for nothing today, and we didn't bring any equipment, so we could only stand on the shore and take a look." ”

Zhuo Shiyu said: "Teacher, the workload of this excavation work is too great, and it is not enough to rely on just a few of us, so I will report it immediately, form an expert group, and formulate an excavation plan." ”

"You're right. Wu Qiming looked at Luo Xu, "Xiao Luo, I'm afraid you won't be able to keep that thing of yours, don't you regret bringing us here?"

Luo Xu smiled: "Since I brought you here, I know the consequences of doing this, what is there to regret." ”

Wu Qiming said: "Young man, it's not easy!"

Luo Xu said: "Teacher Wu, you didn't come in vain today, I don't hide it, I went into the water, in addition to fishing something out, I also took some photos." ”

He pulled out a USB drive, and all the photos he had taken underwater that night were in it.

"Here are the photographs, which may be helpful for your research. ”

Wu Qiming said excitedly: "Xueni, turn on the computer quickly, let's take a look at the photos now." ”

Xue Ni brought a laptop and immediately took the computer out of her backpack when she heard Wu Qiming's instructions. Turn on the computer, insert the USB drive, and Xue Ni opens the photos in the USB drive. She put the computer on the hood of Luo Xu's car, Wu Qiming and Zhuo Shiyu stood directly opposite the computer, and Xue Ni and Gu Qiu stood on either side of them.

Luo Xu didn't understand archaeology, so he simply didn't join in the excitement, squatted by the lake, lit a cigarette, and smoked slowly.

His photos are not very clear, but when Wu Qiming and others don't know anything about the underwater situation, the photos provided by Luo Xu still bring them a lot of help, especially Wu Qiming and Zhuo Shiyu, who carefully observe each photo, and often repeatedly discuss a subtlety in the photo.

Xue Ni listened very attentively, and with her knowledge, she could not interject, but she was a good student who was willing to learn, and cherished this opportunity. And Gu Qiu, who was born in a wealthy family, obviously didn't have much interest in this, he still kept snorting, looking listless, and couldn't wait to get into the car and continue to sleep.

Wu Qiming and others on the edge of the pond attracted the attention of the villagers of Liujiazhuang, and many villagers rushed over. The news quickly reached the ears of Liu Honglin of the village committee, and Liu Honglin hurried over to see what was going on.

Wu Qiming and Zhuo Shiyu are both workaholics, and they love archaeology very much, once they get into the state, no matter how many people are around, they can't get their attention.

Liu Honglin rushed over when he heard the news, he didn't know Zhuo Shiyu and the others, but he saw the familiar Luo Xu.

"Boss Luo, what's going on?"

Liu Honglin hurriedly came over to ask what was going on.

Luo Xu said: "It's nothing, you let the villagers go back, there's nothing lively to see." ”

Liu Honglin obviously didn't believe Luo Xu's words, and said, "Boss Luo, is there a problem with our pond?"

Liu Honglin heard the conversation between Zhuo Shiyu and Wu Qiming, and vaguely heard some content, but what they said was very professional, and Liu Honglin couldn't understand it at all.

Luo Xu is not willing to let Liu Honglin know that there is an ancient city under the pond now, if he let the people of Liujiazhuang know, with the villagers' greedy and cheap character, I am afraid that the whole village will have to go out, before the archaeological team officially began to find out, this pond has been dug by them 800 times.

He knew that Liu Honglin would not go lightly, so he said: "Old village chief, you are not authentic, you know that this pond can't raise fish, but you fooled me into contracting the pond, don't you mean to cheat me!"

Liu Honglin knew that Luo Xu would know sooner or later, and he had already thought of the explanation, and said: "If you can't raise fish, you can plant trees, Boss Luo, didn't you also think of it." I saw a tractor coming here to fill in the soil a few days ago, why hasn't anyone come here for the past two days?"

"Don't talk to me about anything else, Lao Liu, if it weren't for the fact that you and Shuying's sister-in-law are relatives, do you think that I would spare you if you fooled me?"

Luo Xu looked at Liu Honglin with a sneer, Liu Honglin felt a chill down his spine, and said with a sneer: "Boss Luo, this matter is over, don't mention it." By the way, I still have something to do at home, so I'm leaving. ”

After that, Liu Honglin left, and when he left, he dispersed the onlookers.

Zhuo Shiyu and Wu Qiming had been discussing in the cold wind until the evening, and they didn't seem to realize that it was getting late, and they didn't mean to stop at all.

"Teacher Wu, Teacher Zhuo, it's almost five o'clock, let's go back. Luo Xu said.

The two of them realized that it was so late, they hadn't even eaten lunch, but they didn't feel hungry at all, but Xue Ni and Gu Qiu didn't have that much energy, they were already so hungry that their chests were close to their backs, especially Gu Qiu, who hadn't eaten breakfast or lunch, and was so hungry that their eyes were already full of stars.

"Teacher, let's go back. ”

Zhuo Shiyu realized that it was so cold here, and rubbed his hands that were already frozen.

Wu Qiming said: "Well, let's go back, and continue the discussion after dinner." Shiyu, you can stay in a hotel tonight, don't go back. ”

Zhuo Shiyu said: "I also have this idea. ”

Luo Xu said: "You all get in the car, there is air conditioning in the car, it can be warm, I have to make a phone call to call some people over." ”

"What are you calling someone to do here?" asked Zhuo Shi puzzled.

Luo Xu said with a smile: "So many villagers have been listening for so long just now, do you think they will have no idea? If I don't call someone over, there may be how many villagers here will come to dig treasure tonight!"

Zhuo Shiyu understood Luo Xu's intentions, and nodded again and again, "Ah, it's still thoughtful, this really has to be put some." ”

Wu Qiming said: "Xiao Luo, come and find it, tomorrow I will officially submit a report to your local government, and when the project funds come down, I will give you the money, and you can't let people work in vain." ”

Luo Xu said: "If you don't have money, let's talk about it, I'm not bad for money." ”

After that, he called Jiang Longwu and asked him to find twenty people, and he would guard the pond tonight and not let anyone approach.
