Chapter 40: Xia Yun

Jiang Hua exhaled, his body trembled slightly, he was very excited now.

I actually have the ability to be old? This is really the rhythm of the invincible world.

Jiang Hua, who was in an agitation, didn't notice that time passed quickly, and when he came back to his senses, it was already dark, and he suddenly remembered that he still had something to do at night, so he hurriedly grabbed the jade dragon and stuffed it into his pocket, hurriedly went out, beckoned a taxi and went straight to Ninghua University.

Ninghua is a first-tier city in China, there are many colleges and universities here, the most famous of which is Ninghua University, although it can not be compared with the two universities in the capital, but the difference can only be the historical background, when it comes to academic research results, they have their own merits, there are people who hold the world's bull's ears, and the students who want to apply for the examination every year are like carp crossing the river, countless.

When Jiang Hua arrived at Ninghua University, it was exactly eight o'clock, but the appointed time was nine o'clock, so he simply walked around the campus.

Ninghua University is not much different from the university campus in memory, the scenery is beautiful, quiet and lively, and there are many couples in pairs.

Jiang Hua walked and walked, and suddenly felt a little nostalgic for the university life that had gone away, but when he wanted to go into the library to have a look, he was refused, saying that only university students could enter, which made him a little depressed.

Not long after leaving the library, Jiang Hua received a phone call, it was Deng Mingshi's cousin Xia Yun, asking him to go to her office to meet Yun.

Jiang Hua looked at the time and found that it was about to be nine o'clock, so he hurriedly quickened his pace and walked according to what Xia Yun said.

Jiang Hua pushed open the door of Xia Yun's office, looked at it, and suddenly couldn't help but sigh a little, this one in front of him is not so much an office as a small museum- It was a huge basement, estimated at five or six hundred square meters, with the central part being vacant, and all the rest of the place was either long tables or high shelves, and it was filled with all kinds of objects, from bronze to porcelain, from stone to wood to silk and the like, and there were many piles on the ground, and at a glance you could see that they had just been dug out of the ground, broken and covered with dirt.

"It seems that Deng Mingshi's kid is right, his cousin is indeed a big bull in the archaeological world. ”

Jiang Hua went inside, and being able to have such an office can only show that Xia Yun's status in Ninghua University is very high, otherwise it is impossible to have such conditions.

"Excuse me...... Which one is Professor Xia Yunxia?"

Jiang Hua walked to the end and saw a group of people around a long table, in addition, there were more than a dozen people squatting in the place, talking around a huge stone statue, there were men and women, he couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded, he couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded, and he couldn't see which one was Xia Yun at all.

"I am. ”

Jiang Hua's jaw almost fell, in his imagination, Deng Mingshi's cousin should be a woman wearing thick black-rimmed glasses and tanned like carbon, but the person standing in front of him turned out to be a porcelain doll-like beauty, not to mention anything else, the skin as white as snow was beyond imagination.

"This ...... You...... You are Deng Mingshi's cousin Xia Yun?"

As soon as the words came out, Jiang Hua realized that he was really impolite, and hurriedly continued, "I...... You...... Well, you're a little far from what I imagined......"

Obviously, it was not the first time he had encountered such a thing, Xia Yun smiled and nodded, "Jiang Hua, is it? There is a bit of chaos here, let's go there." ”

Jiang Hua followed Xia Yun to an empty table in the corner.

"Jiang Hua, did you hear Deng Mingshi say that you have something for me to see?"

Xia Yun poured Jiang Hua a glass of water, and after sitting down, he went straight to the point, no nonsense.

"Yes. ”

Jiang Hua took out the jade dragon from his pocket and handed it to Xia Yun, "I bought it from a stall a few days ago, I have a little research on antiques, but I have never seen this thing, the stone said that you are an archaeologist, so I thought I would come and ask for advice." ”

Jiang Hua is very clear about the origin of the jade dragon, and he is deliberately "pretending to be stupid" to say this, you must know that the Hongshan culture in this world is probably not yet discovered, and if he directly says the "origin" of the jade dragon, that is, the Hongshan cultural site, wouldn't it scare Xia Yun to death? At the same time, he can't explain why he knows so clearly.

As soon as Xia Yun saw Jiang Hua's jade dragon, he stood up suddenly, stretched out his hand and grabbed it directly.

Jiang Hua didn't expect Xia Yun to be so eager at all, he was taken aback, and opened his mouth to speak, but when he saw that she had already focused on looking at Yulong, he also closed his mouth.

The jade dragon looked over and over again for nearly an hour before Xia Yun raised his head.

"Jiang Hua, you just said that this jade dragon was picked up from a stall?"

Jiang Hua nodded, "Yes, that's right, just the matter of the other day, it cost eight thousand yuan." ”

Xia Yun thought for a while and said, "The texture of this jade dragon and the jade are not very good, it is relatively rough, of course, if the antique is sold, the price is about the same." ”

As soon as Jiang Hua heard this, he immediately knew that Xia Yun was coming to see the doorway, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart - if Xia Yun felt that this was just an ordinary jade dragon, he really didn't know how to talk about the Hongshan culture.

"When I got my hands on it, I was wondering what age it was. ”

Jiang Hua glanced at Xia Yun and found that she was listening to herself, "But after researching and studying, there is no way to be sure, and then I heard a friend say that he seemed to have seen a similar thing in the British Empire Museum, so I wrote them an email." ”

"The museum finally sent a man named Tommy, and I thought he was a little weird, so I didn't sell the jade dragon to him. ”

When Xia Yun heard Tommy's name, his face tightened suddenly, he took out his mobile phone and flipped through it for a while, opened a photo and handed it over, and said eagerly, "Is this the person?"

"Yes, that's right, you...... How do you have a picture of this man? Do you know him?"

When Jiang Hua saw it, he was secretly surprised, how could there be a photo of Tommy in Xia Yun's mobile phone?

"Hmph, I know, I know him, I know him when he turns to ashes. ”

Xia Yun gritted his teeth and said, "This person has a great reputation in Asia, especially in the field of Chinese cultural studies, but this person is a trafficker in his bones, and he has lost no less than 100 precious cultural relics abroad over the years because of him." ”

"Huh?"

Jiang Hua was a little dumbfounded, he didn't expect it to be like this.

"This man is an archaeologist, and he has used his fame in the field to preside over the archaeological excavations of many sites and tombs, which has provided him with a lot of convenient opportunities. ”

Jiang Hua understood what was going on as soon as he heard it.

The ruins and tombs are full of treasures, and it is indeed more convenient for the person in charge of the archaeological excavation to start if he wants to, but the important thing is that as long as it is done cleanly, no one will doubt it at all - before the excavation, no one knows what is inside, and there is no real proof of death.

"No one will expose him?"

Jiang Hua was a little strange, "It's okay to supervise the excavation site strictly, right?"

Shaking his head, Xia Yun sighed, "This person is very famous in the field of archaeology, and some leaders invite him for his fame, plus there may be some other purposes......"

Xia Yun's words were not thorough, but how could Jiang Hua not understand?

There are indeed some people in Huaxia who can directly decide which one to hand over the excavation to, and their favorite thing to do is to invite a world-famous archaeological expert, which is completely the mentality of "the moon is a circle abroad".

"Other purposes" refers to colluding with each other to get the cultural relics in the ruins and tombs out and sell them for money, etc., Jiang Hua had heard of and even seen a lot of this in his previous life.

"Come on. ”

Xia Yun waved it and said, "Let's not talk about this, let's talk about this jade dragon." ”
