7. Chapter VII
Ye Ci got Sister Liu's words, and finally put her mind at ease, followed her out of the yard, and limped into the distance.
Now it was dark, and there were only a few lamps with wattage poles on the road in the village, so I couldn't see the road under my feet clearly, and my steps seemed a little slow.
Sister Liu turned around and took Ye Ci's hand, and said to an old man sitting by the fire: "Village chief, this doll is a cultural relic worker, she wants to come to help see this tomb in our village."
The village chief looked a little old, holding a dry tobacco in his hand, looked up at Ye Ci, and asked with a "hum": "Just such a little doll, what can she see?" ”
Ye Ci didn't feel embarrassed when he heard this, he stepped forward respectfully, stood in front of the village chief, and replied softly: "Old village chief, I am a student who graduated from the formal cultural relics restoration major, and today I was taken in by Sister Liu because of an accident, so I also want to come over to help you take a look, and see if there is really anything strange in this tomb."
The old man listened to Ye Ci's words, turned his head and glanced at her again, and saw that this girl was neither humble nor arrogant, and her eyes were calm and clear, so he believed it at once, stood up, sighed and said: "This tomb must be strange, since this tomb was opened, the men in our village have been sick one after another, as if they have been hit by evil."
Ye Ci followed behind the village chief, and as he walked forward, he nodded and replied: "Well, some ancient tombs in our country do add some things to the tombs in order to prevent future generations from stealing them, such as mercury, mechanisms, corpse insects, and so on. However, none of these things are very spreading, and if they hadn't entered the tomb, the impact should not be as great as you said. ”
The old man didn't understand what she said, so he led her to a swarthy hole, pointed to a clearing next to her, and said in a deep voice: "Oh, it's this hole that goes down, it's very deep inside, and they only dug out some things outside, and they didn't dare to go too in."
Ye Ci looked with the old man's fingers, and saw that on the ground not far from the entrance of the cave, a large piece of plastic sheeting was being placed, and a bunch of things were sporadically placed on it, which should be some burial goods when he was buried.
It's just that most of the ordinary burial goods will be placed in the ear room, since the village chief said that the person didn't dig deep, then at most it is from the corridor to the front hall, and the front hall, how can there be so many things.
With all kinds of doubts, Ye Ci took a few steps forward, squatted down on the edge of the large piece of plastic sheet, and looked down at the unearthed objects on the cloth carefully.
The burial goods on the ground have not been specially cared for, so they are a little messy on the ground, and most of them are broken bowls and plates.
What is more conspicuous is a porcelain pillow placed on the side, as well as several lotus boy jade pendants on the porcelain pillow, even if the mud is heavy and thick, but it still looks very delicate under the light of the flame.
Ye Ci took out his mobile phone, turned on the light, and in order to confirm his guess, he carefully observed it for a while, and then raised his head and breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay, village chief, these things are all cultural relics of the Song Dynasty, and they are of great archaeological value."
The village chief didn't believe it, and immediately raised his voice and beckoned Miao Lili, who was holding firewood at the other end, to come over.
Miao Lili looks like a little girl in her twenties, she is the daughter of Sister Liu, she has just entered her second year of college this year, and she is one of the more educated people in this village.
She heard the village chief's shouting at this time, trotted over and glanced at Ye Ci, tilted her head to feel a little familiar, and asked, "Hello, are you from the Cultural Relics Bureau?" ”
Ye Ci shook his head and replied to her: "No, I just happened to be passing by here and was rescued by your mother, and I heard that your village chief was going to blow up this tomb, so I stopped by to take a look." Little girl, these things are all cultural relics of the Song Dynasty, and they have great historical significance and research value, so you must persuade your village chief to stop messing around."
Miao Lili listened to Ye Ci's words, and immediately glanced at the village chief who was sitting back on the bench, leaned into her ear and whispered: "It's really from the Song Dynasty, I thought it was like it at first, but I just learned a little bit of fur, and I'm not sure, not to mention that our village chief is so old, he knows feudal superstition on weekdays, and it's useless for anyone to persuade him!" ”
Ye Ci listened to her words, sighed and squatted down, put the porcelain pillow back on the plastic sheet, and replied in a low voice: "But I still have to persuade, after all, such a good Dingyao porcelain pillow is rare in the whole country and even the world." ”。
Miao Lili listened to her words, immediately opened her eyes round, and asked, "Ding, Dingyao?" Isn't Dingyao an official kiln? Could it be that there is an emperor buried in this tomb!? ”
Ye Ci looked at her and smiled, and replied softly: "No, although the Dingyao kiln is an official kiln, there are also folk kiln products." Like it, Jun kiln belongs to the official kiln, but it also makes folk porcelain, but most of them are mainly daily life objects."
Miao Lili scratched her hair, as if she was a little embarrassed, and said shyly: "Then how do you know that it is from the Song Dynasty?" This porcelain pillow doesn't even have a sense of style."
Ye Ci smiled and pointed to a few jade pendants next to the porcelain pillow, and said: "This kind of lotus boy is the most prosperous thing in the Song Dynasty, and this kind of cup next to it is also the Song Dynasty, or more specifically, the most typical style of the Southern Song Dynasty."
"That's it, I'll just say, I guessed that this pillow was a Cizhou kiln at first, but I didn't expect it to be a fixed kiln."
Ye Ci turned his head to look at her, and felt that this girl's half-understood appearance was quite cute, so he explained: "Although the Cizhou kiln is also a northern kiln, it doesn't look like this, most of the Cizhou pillows are relatively simple in shape, the color is mainly black and white, and the carcass will not be so delicate. ”
Miao Lili heard Ye Ci say this, and immediately let out an "oh", looking at her, her eyes were full of worship, as if she was a fairy.
Ye Ci was embarrassed by her gaze, and asked her, "Girl, are you studying archaeology?" ”
Miao Lili shook her head sharply at this time and replied: "I studied Chinese, but I am more interested in ancient relics, and I have taken a few classes. I'm a sophomore at Yunzhou University."
Ye Ci turned his head to look at her and asked, "Students of Yunda?" Do you know Yin Li? ”
Miao Lili immediately nodded and replied excitedly: "Know!" Of course, I know, the old professor of our Yunda University, not only does he do well in class, but he is also very kind. Moreover, her father seems to be a master of cultural relics restoration in the early days of liberation, especially powerful, I heard that they are about to become immortals, you can pinch soil with one hand, and carve things on your hair with one hand! ”
Ye Ci lowered his head and laughed out loud, and replied, "Where did you hear the rumors." My grandfather wasn't so mysterious."
When Miao Lili heard this, she was immediately stunned, and then suddenly jumped up and shouted: "You, you, I remember!" You are Professor Yin's daughter! The sixteen-year-old who won the top prize in Yunzhou liberal arts in the college entrance examination! ”
Ye Ci waved her hand awkwardly, asked her to sit down, and said very embarrassedly: "I was just a fluke at that time, it's nothing, don't scare your village chief, he looks at you."
Miao Lili didn't care about this, she immediately knelt down on her legs and shouted: "Sister, no, master, you can accept me as an apprentice."
Ye Ci was hooded and turned to her, "Apprentice, apprentice?" ”
"Yes! I know that you are studying cultural relics restoration, I am naturally dull and have no artistic talent, but I have a particularly deep affection for cultural relics, I, I heard that you do this business, are taught by master and apprentice, master, you will accept me as an apprentice, I will study hard in the future, do not give your old man face! No, it's not an old man, hey, how can I say it, I'll work hard anyway! ”
Where has Ye Ci been treated like this, he immediately stood in place at a loss, wanting to speak, but he didn't know what to say.
At this time, a middle-aged man came running at the intersection and shouted to the village chief sitting next to the fire: "Village chief, it's not good, the son of the old Yang family has a high fever and can't go away, foaming at the mouth, and he is about to die!" ”
When the old village chief heard this, he immediately shouted: "I knew that it must be the yin qi of this tomb that entered the village, and shouted that Lao Zhuang and the men in the village should come over and take the axe, and we will smash this tomb tonight!" ”
The man said yes, turned and ran outside.
Ye Ci stood up and ran to the old village chief, and anxiously persuaded: "Old village chief, I'm sure that there must be no problem with this tomb, most of the things inside are some ancient cultural relics with great archaeological value, and it will be a huge loss for the country for you to get down with such a fire and an axe."
Where can the old village chief still listen to the truth that no country is a country or a country, and no loss is lost. The feudal ideas accumulated throughout his life, coupled with the fall of several young children in the village one after another, made him really have no other way.
stood up, looked at the anxious Ye Ci in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "You little doll from outside, don't point fingers here, we will solve the affairs of our village by ourselves, even if the country blames it, I will be the first to bear it."
Ye Ci saw that the old village chief was determined to destroy the ancient tomb, so he could only turn to look at Miao Lili and say, "Girl, you, you can persuade your village chief." Ancient cultural relics are left by our ancestors for thousands of years, not something that can be regenerated after they have gone."
After speaking, he added ruthlessly: "If you can help me persuade your village chief, I, I will accept you as an apprentice."
As soon as Miao Lili heard this, she immediately came to her senses, shouted "Okay", and saw that several uncles and uncles in the village came over with axes, grabbed Ye Ci's hand, stood by the fire and began to shout: "Village chief, these things really can't be done, if you want to get them, you can kill me first!" ”
As soon as the old village chief heard Miao Lili's words, he was so angry that his beard trembled, put away the old dry pipe in his mouth, and shouted to Sister Liu, who rushed to the side: "Miao daughter-in-law, how did you discipline the doll in your house, the village elders said something, she brought an outsider to make trouble here, why don't you hurry up and pull me down!" ”
When Sister Liu got the words of the village chief, she could only nod her head again and again, and dragged Miao Lili over with the two aunts beside her.
Miao Lili resisted with her hands and feet, shouting: "Mom, don't drag me, this thing is really a cultural relic, we will damage Yin virtue if we destroy it, not to mention, my master, hey, don't tie up my master."
Ye Ci saw that Miao Lili was dragged away, and he was grabbed by the arm again, so he could only stand in front of the hole of the tomb, and shouted with open arms: "You can't do this, these things are ancient relics, you can't come back if you go down with an axe!" You take the initiative to dig like this, and you destroy it privately, yes, it's illegal! ”
The old village chief was really annoyed by Ye Ci, so he simply turned around and said to the man on the side: "Lao Zhuang, you tie up this female doll, if she quarrels again, just throw it into the tomb together."
Ye Ci still didn't move, stood in front of those things, and took out his mobile phone to make an alarm.
The man who was called Lao Zhuang saw Ye Ci take out the phone, and immediately glanced at his son not far away, and then without doing anything, he directly pushed Ye Ci into the tomb, sealed the entrance of the cave with a large stone tablet, and turned around and shouted: "Bring the diesel fuel and the axe."
