Chapter 42: Old Professor
The village chief of the village looked a little excited when he saw their arrival, and hurriedly greeted them.
"You ...... You're the one sent from above? ”
"Yes, my surname is Gu, this is Professor Rong, this is Teacher Zhai, this is our certificate." Professor Gu is the oldest here, so he was recommended by several teachers and professors to be the team leader.
None of the village chiefs knew a single big character at all, so he took the certificate handed over by Professor Gu, looked through it carefully, and saw the five-star national emblem on it, and nodded again and again.
"Professor?" Zhai Ling asked.
"Yes, which old professor is staying in my house temporarily, please come with me." The village chief walked in front to lead the way, and at the old professor's place, he probably understood what was going on, so he had been waiting for them to come over for the past few days.
It turned out that more than ten days ago, in the local miscellaneous market, someone was setting up a stall to sell two three-color female figurines, because they were covered with stains, and no one cared, just an old professor who returned to his hometown to visit relatives to see, which old professor had a deep study of the antiquities of the Tang Dynasty, and found that it was actually a genuine product, so he bought these two three-color female figurines in excitement, and learned from the seller that the two female figurines were fished up from the river in their village.
The old professor found someone to take pictures of the two three-color female figurines and immediately sent a message to inform the capital, so that the capital quickly sent someone to assist in the exploration and investigation, here may be the discovery of the ancient tomb, after the above discussion, since the discovery is the Tang Dynasty is extremely popular three-color female figurines, the tomb must be the Tang Dynasty, to send the past to assist the person must also have a deep study of the antiquities of the Tang Dynasty, so he thought of which professor to have a good relationship with Professor Gu of Sichuan University, so Professor Gu took advantage of this trip to bring a few of his proud disciples to come over.
When I followed the village chief into the house, I saw an old man in his sixties who was in good spirits and gray hair, and was concentrating on a piece of ceramic with a magnifying glass, and he didn't feel at all that they were coming.
Professor Gu saw his old friend's eyes shine, his gaze turned around, and he fell on the ceramic piece, and took a sharp breath: "Tang ...... Fragments of Tang Sancai's utensils. ”
Hearing this, the old professor finally reacted, and looked up to see Professor Gu with a bright smile on his face.
"Ah, you're finally here, come on, you've got a lot of treasures out of that river in the past two days." Then he came over to pull Professor Gu and Professor Rong over, and when he looked up, Senior Brother landed on Shan Ling, who was following Zhai Ling, and his eyes lit up: "Ouch, isn't this Xiaodan, you actually came, haha!" ”
Shan Ling, who was suddenly named, was slightly stunned, and then reacted that the old professor might have recognized the wrong person.
"Uh, professor, you admit that you are wrong, the little single you said should be my father, Shan Xiao."
The old professor was slightly stunned, thought for a while, and said: "Yes, yes, it's been twenty years, how can Xiao Dan still look like Xiao Maotou, well, it turned out to be Xiao Dan's child, no wonder it looks so similar, hey, no, this is a small order, and that will be a big order in the future." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces were full of black lines, and it turned out that the old professor would still tell cold jokes.
The old professor didn't care what others thought in their hearts, beckoned to Shan Ling, motioned him over, and said to Professor Gu: "Hey, Xiao Dan, this kid is actually your student, not bad." ”
"No, Shan Ling is not a student of the Department of Archaeology, he is from the Department of Photography, and he came over to help take some photos this time." Professor Gu shook his head.
The old professor's expression was stiff, and his eyes looked at Shan Ling sharply, which startled him, he thought the old professor was going to be angry or something, but he didn't expect him to get up.
"Photography department, good boy, hurry up, I have something for you to help take a picture." This left Professor Gu and Professor Rong and dragged Shan Ling away.
Another photography student who came with him looked at Shan Ling, who was dragged away by the old professor, and a flash of anger and jealousy flashed in his eyes.
Shan Ling quickly took out the camera from his bag, installed the accessories neatly, put the lanyard on the camera, put it on his neck, and then quickly adjusted the lens.
"Engraved on it is...... Maps? Shan Ling looked at it and frowned slightly, the carving on it was really too rough, plus the traces of fracture, it was not very clear to see, but there were boxy ones on it, and there were often passages.
"Well, this is a map, that is, from the old river, only half, I spent several days to put together, but the other half does not know, although not complete, but if it is a map of the tomb, it is very useful for our investigation." As he spoke, the old professor couldn't help but get a little excited, and his eyes were shining.
Shan Ling nodded, and then began to take pictures of the slate, and after the camera clicked several shots in a row, he adjusted the clearest one for the old professor to see.
"Yes, yes, you are a careful child like your father."
Shan Ling is also absolutely very curious about this old professor repeatedly mentioning his father, he has been with Shan Xiao since he was a child, but he rarely heard Shan Xiao talk about his previous things, and knew that he used to study archaeology, that was because he had seen some notebooks and books that Shan Xiao had put at home, and Shan Xiao was once a top student in the archaeology department of the first university in Beijing, and he still knew it from Chu Yishu, obviously, this old professor used to be a teacher who taught Shan Xiao, otherwise he would not recognize him as Shan Xiao at first sight.
"Professor, did you teach my dad before?"
The old professor's movements paused slightly, then nodded, and said, "I'm Xiaodan's mentor, hey...... If it weren't for Professor Du, he would have been able to achieve extraordinary achievements in the field of archaeology now. ”
Professor Du, who is it?
When Shan Ling heard a new name, his heart jumped slightly, his father never said why he never left the capital, and then hid in that small village in the mountains, but a large part of the reason was due to himself.
That Professor Du seems to be very familiar with his father's relationship, if he asks who this is, this old professor is likely to blow up, or wait back to ask his father, no, his father has never told him about these things, if he asks rashly, it is very likely to evoke his past sadness, well, it's better to ask Uncle Qiu.
Seeing that Shan Ling didn't speak, with a serious look, the old professor's favor for him climbed up several degrees in a straight line, worthy of being the child of his proud student, but it was different from others, listening to his old man nagging, there was no impatience at all, and he didn't see that Shan Ling was distracted at all.
"By the way, how is Xiaoshan doing now?"
Hey, the most proud student left like this, and then disappeared for a full twenty years, if it wasn't for Shan Ling, he really didn't know how to contact the student who had been thinking about him for so many years.
Hearing the old professor's question, Shan Ling quickly came back to his senses, then nodded, and said, "Well, thank you for the professor's concern, Dad is very good, he will go to the capital recently, and after this investigation, I will take you to meet him." ”
Hearing this, the old professor's face showed joy and said yes again and again.
Professor Gu and Professor Rong led the students to process the ceramic pieces that the old professor had fished out of the river in the past few days.
"Hey, Xiao Rong, look at it, how gorgeous the color of this fragment is, tsk...... What a pity. Professor Gu held a yellow-green three-color glazed pottery fragment and repeatedly called it a pity.
"That's right."
Na Wu was helping on the side, and from time to time he peeked at what the old professor and Shan Ling were doing in the room, and when he heard Professor Gu's words, he turned his face away.
"Professor, I have a strange question, the tomb is built in the mountains, even if a part of the mountain collapses, it is impossible for so many burial porcelain to be washed down from the river!" And the small three-colored fragment he was holding in his hand at the moment narrowed his eyes slightly.
According to the fragment crushing process, it is definitely not simple.
Hearing Nawu's words, the village chief who was sitting on the side and smoking a hookah said: "Baby, you don't know about this, if it's just a mountain collapse, of course it's nothing, I remember that it was raining here, the thunder was scary, the mountain was suddenly hit by lightning, there was a loud noise, and when the rain stopped, a lot of this ceramic crushed digging was washed down the mountain along the water, before going to the town to sell the three-color girl doll of the Dongsheng son, who had been outside to see the world, said that it was valuable, I don't know that the stall has not been sold for several days, but I have brought you here. ”
"It is illegal for the village chief to sell antiquities." A schoolgirl said.
"If we know about the crime, we won't dare to do it, then the old professor can say, when you come over, the son of the Dongsheng family will be released."
"Seeing that he doesn't know anything, when we come back from the mountain, we will naturally release him." Professor Yung said.
"Well, of course, the people in our Dongjia Village are all good people."
"Of course, just like you, village chief." Nawu had a bright smile on his face, then leaned over and said, "Abo, you are a native of this village, so do you know who is in the tomb on this mountain?"
Seeing Na Wu looking at himself with admiration and flattery, the village elder instantly felt that his image had become better.
"Of course, when we were children, we heard Grandpa say that there was a beautiful woman buried on the mountain, and I heard that she was still the emperor's concubine, so the mountain was called Beauty Mountain in the village......"
