Chapter 348: Wind and Sand Searching for the Dead
Fang Ming and the others were finally disappointed, Ma Tian found the place where the Flying Lion round gold box was finally unable to find other cultural relics, in fact, in addition to the original one-day time, Ma Tian finally arranged for someone to dig for half a day, and only stopped after there was still no gain.
Perhaps due to the influence of this incident, the atmosphere in the archaeological team turned out to be a little depressed.
"Whoa!"
Fang Ming splashed the water in the basin on his face, and the whole person suddenly perked up.
In the past few days, he has been involved in the specific cleaning and excavation, basically exploring the entire excavated and cleared ground, especially with his right hand to try to see if he can find other age of soil layers, but in the end he was disappointed.
In addition to the soil layer of three ages found in the previous tomb, the soil layer of the Song Dynasty appeared in the place where Ma Tian found the gold box before, and the rest turned out to be the soil layer of the Tang Dynasty.
Of course, if you dig very deep, it is natural that there are soil layers of other ages, but this is no longer meaningful, and the main thing is, of course, to look at the soil layers used for landfilling.
"Fang Ming."
When he turned around, he found that it was Sima Xiangqin who was walking towards him quickly.
"What's wrong?"
Sima Xiangqin walked up to Fang Ming and said, "The matter you asked me to inquire about before has an eyebrow. ”
Fang Ming's heart is one&one&book&read&novel{.{ yb}{du}.} Jumping, and said in a loud voice: "Really? ”
In order to break the predicament in front of him, Fang Ming asked Sima Xiangqin to see if he could find a tomb robber in a nearby place.
Tomb robbery simply refers to the excavation of other people's graves, and the main destination is to dig up the burial goods inside and sell them.
Such people have appeared many years ago and have a long history, and many of them have been engaged in such "activities" for generations. The main reason why Fang Ming looked for them was because these people were often "nearby" activities, and they were very familiar with the surrounding geographical environment, and because of this, Fang Ming felt that if he could find such people, it would be beneficial to the entire archaeological excavation.
Because the current situation is that if we don't learn some information from others and learn from experience, we will have to take many detours.
"Well, yes."
Sima Xiangqin nodded and said, "It's hard to find such a person now, I still haven't gained anything from inquiring." However, after talking to Sun Lao for a while, he remembered that he had a friend who was nearby
In the past, it was said that the family was a tomb robber, but after the liberation, he stopped doing this, and after going to university, he became an expert in this field. ”
"Sun Lao and he are still familiar with him, and they have even worked together once before."
"Great!"
Fang Ming was overjoyed when he heard this, if it was just an ordinary relationship, even if it was connected, it was estimated that he would not be able to say it very clearly, but if it was Sima Xiangqin who said this kind of thing, it would be completely different.
"When are we going?"
"Elder Sun made an appointment with the other party to have dinner together in the evening, because the distance is relatively far, it is estimated that we will set off in a while."
Sima Xiangqin's brows furrowed slightly, that place was still far away from the archaeological camp, and it was not very comfortable to drive in the desert for such a long time, but there was no other way but to go.
After a little preparation, Fang Ming drove, and the group set off in the car, the temperature in the desert was very high, and Fang Ming, who was driving the car, felt that his eyes were a white flower, which was reflected by the sunlight hitting the sand, which made people quite uncomfortable.
What made Fang Ming feel even more uncomfortable was that he also encountered a sand storm on the road, which also made him appreciate the power of sand in the desert once: it crackled when it hit the window, and there was even a fist-sized stone that smashed directly on the car body with a "bang", and the whole thing was dented. This made Fang Ming directly startled, because if such a stone and force were smashed on the car window, maybe there would have been an accident.
Not to mention that when the wind was strong, the whole car seemed to be blown away, and Fang Ming, who was driving the car, shook his head.
Seeing him like this, Sun Ming was happy and said, "Fang Ming, it seems that it is the first time you have come to such a place, and this kind of weather is also the first time you have encountered it, right?" ”
"Well, yes."
Ningdong City is a southern city, the only windy thing every year is the weather of typhoons, but because the surrounding high-rise buildings, in fact, the wind is not too much of an impact, at most it is a little heavier rain and so on, where will you encounter such a situation now?
The whole world is sand, yellow and misty, and you can even see that from time to time there are salons between heaven and earth.
Flying sand and stones, Fang Ming believed that if there were stones here now, they would definitely fly. In such a power of heaven and earth, the car is just like a boat in a storm, struggling but powerless.
"Just get used to it!"
Sima Xiangqin's words made Fang Ming roll his eyes, he felt that he was being despised. Trying to control the car, Fang Ming continued to drive forward, he now infinitely missed his Humvee coming, this time because he was here, so the Hummer was temporarily placed in Sanjiang City.
If it is a car like Hummer, it should be a little more calm in such a harsh environment, especially the heavy body and that strong power, which are the best weapons in the face of wind and sand.
After driving for six or seven hours with difficulty, I finally arrived at my destination, which was a small county town, but looking at the small buildings that basically did not exceed five floors and the streets that were not too wide, Fang Ming knew that even if this place was prosperous, it was limited.
However, although the sparrow was small but had all kinds of organs, under Sun Ming's guidance, Fang Ming finally stopped in front of a museum.
After getting out of the car, Fang Ming looked at the four-story building in front of him, which definitely covered an area of more than 1,000 square meters, and couldn't help but touch his head and said, "Ah! Is there such a local museum here? ”
Places like museums are usually places where economic conditions have reached a certain level, mainly because the annual maintenance cost of such a place is not a small amount, not to mention the number of people recruited for it.
"Xie Peng conducted an archaeological excavation here that year, and sent out a tomb of the Yuan Dynasty royal family, this discovery shocked the archaeological community, and the museum in front of him was built on this basis."
Fang Ming immediately understood what was going on, presumably this discovery back then was very amazing, a lot of cultural relics were unearthed, and the local government could only build a museum in order to leave this batch of cultural relics, or there would be no reason to leave these cultural relics at all.
As a local and the host of the excavation, Xie Peng naturally became the director of the museum.
It's not hard to guess why.
"Let's go. Let's go inside. Lao Xie is already waiting for us. ”
Following Sun Ming inside, Fang Ming soon saw Xie Peng in an office on the top of the building.
The room is very large, but it is not luxurious at all, the biggest impression is that there are bookshelves one after another, as a master of playing antiques, Fang Ming can see at a glance that these shelves are definitely not made of good materials, if you have to say the characteristics, that is, they are thick and strong, these large shelves are placed on the ceiling, and then they are stuffed with all kinds of materials, many of which even look tattered or old, obviously often looked over.
If it weren't for an office, he would have thought it would be a warehouse for storing materials.
In addition, what Fang Ming saw was an old rattan chair behind a small table, on which sat an old man, who immediately stood up and walked over when he saw Sun Ming and the others coming in.
"Hahaha! Old Sun, you old boy don't come to see me much, it's too stuffy for such a bird to not! Nothing to do all day. ”
Fang Ming knew that this person must be Xie Peng, Xie Peng was not tall, maybe only a little more than one meter six, and he was not strong, he belonged to the kind of typical thin and even thin old man, but what was quite impressive was that he had a loud voice when he spoke, and he walked like a fly, it could be seen that although he was old, his body was definitely quite good.
"Hey, there's no way, it's a little too far, and we're both old, it's really one less time to meet each other. Hmph, but then again, if you don't want to stay in a place where birds don't, where are you going? Do you want to go to that school of mine? You don't have to worry about the formalities, the house, the car, how about I deal with it? Usually, it's convenient for us to get together, eat and communicate or something, how about it? ”
Sun Ming looked at Xie Peng with a smile, Xie Peng can definitely be said to be a famous name in the academic circle, he is not writing empty checks, as long as Xie Peng is willing to go, he can solve these problems.
"Hahaha!"
Liang Bo also laughed out loud and said, "Lao Xie, what is there to go to in that shabby place of Lao Sun?" Go to me, what he said is not a problem at all, and you can just bring someone to your PhD every year when you go to me. Of course, it goes without saying that there are assistants. ”
Xie Peng shook his head and laughed, and said, "You two old boys, you can clearly see that I won't go, that's why such a lion opens his mouth, you can't tempt me, I will make a mistake." ”
It can be seen that they are all in a circle, so they are all very familiar, and after some jokes, Xie Peng said, don't talk about other things first, go to eat and drink first! “
Seeing this, Sun Ming and Liang Bo knew that the matter would definitely not be discussed, but this was also expected, so they simply didn't say anything, and the group walked out of the museum with Xie Peng.
Out of the museum, the sky slowly darkened, it was a good time to eat, and Xie Peng obviously had a familiar restaurant, and he didn't drive, so he took everyone around, and finally found a small restaurant in an inconspicuous alley.
Fang Ming and the others were disappointed in the end,
In fact, in addition to the original one-day time, Ma Tian finally arranged for someone to dig for half a day, but there was still no harvest before stopping.
Perhaps due to the influence of this incident, the atmosphere in the archaeological team turned out to be a little depressed.
"Whoa!"
Fang Ming splashed the water in the basin on his face, and the whole person suddenly perked up.
