On the tenth day of excavation, the surface of the soil was finally cleaned layer by layer. In the process, only a few scattered bronze Ge were found, and they had been rusted to the point that they were not in shape.

However, this did not affect the enthusiasm of the group, because judging from the loot seized from the tomb robbers, the burial goods of this tomb were extremely rich, and what was found was only the tip of the iceberg.

During these ten days, Professor Cheng only showed up occasionally, pointed out the direction of the excavation, and then went back to the tent. It can be seen that Lao Cheng is indeed professional enough, and the excavation sites he chooses have avoided those places with solid soil. Judging from Brother Badou's eyes, it is the location of the tomb or the tomb.

Brother Badou also learned from the captain that Professor Cheng's health has been deteriorating since he was in his thirties, and this mausoleum should be the last big tomb he presided over to excavate. After that, he will definitely take early retirement.

Speaking of which, that Captain Zhang now has a very strong relationship with Brother Badou. Since the misunderstanding on the first day, after learning that the fat man turned out to be the director of the forest park, and he went into battle in person, and he didn't want to be paid, he was impressed with Brother Badou. He didn't know that what was excavated here would eventually be assigned to this little fat man, so it would be strange if he didn't work hard.

When he was resting and chatting, Captain Zhang often sighed, saying that archaeology is really not done by people, and he has been sleeping in the wild for most of the year, not to mention the difficult conditions, and the risks are still very great. Because when excavating the ancient ≧ tombs, sometimes you will encounter all kinds of sinister traps. He may even contract some strange diseases, such as Professor Cheng, after excavating an ancient tomb. The body is getting worse and worse.

From a scientific point of view. There may be some bacteria and viruses breeding in the sealed tomb. It's like the famous curse of the Egyptian pharaoh, Tutankhamun. In fact, most of them are caused by bacteria and viruses.

In private, Brother Badou also heard similar things from the Mo brothers, so they washed their hands and followed the fat man. However, they are explained from the perspective of superstition, whether it is archaeology or tomb robbing, in the final analysis, it is to make money from the dead and disturb the peace of the dead, which is harmful to yin morality. So people who do this kind of work. There are very few good deaths.

It's not easy to do anything - Brother Badou can only sigh silently in his heart, in life, many times he can't help himself, so he will live a very tired life, just think about anything.

On the tenth day of the excavation work, it had already dug up to the depth of the eight brothers who came down that day, and the vertical height from the ground was more than ten meters, and the entire tomb had been dug out of several square deep pits, leaving the soil foundation. From above, it looks like a "medium" character.

Professor Cheng Lao rarely showed up again, and he told everyone weakly: The excavation work has reached a critical period. Artifacts are about to be unearthed, so be extra careful.

The shovel was also replaced by a small shovel, and the soil was shoveled down inch by inch, which was a delicate and time-consuming task.

Brother Badou also followed a group of people to squat on the ground and slowly shovel the soil, not with a small brush twice. While working, I looked up to the side, and saw Professor Cheng standing not far away, looking up at the four corners of the sky, his cloudy eyes were as lonely as the autumn sky.

I don't know if I'm reminiscing about the past, or if I'm sentimentalizing myself, do you want to try it with purple qi, can you dispel the disease on him? Brother Badou also felt a little inexplicable sadness in his heart, although he had only been in contact with this old professor for a long time and didn't say a few words, but he could feel Lao Cheng's loss, which was helplessness and sadness that was about to come to the end of his life.

When a muffled sound interrupted the fat man's thoughts, it also interrupted Professor Cheng's reverie, and they all looked at the source of the sound. Almost at the same time, Captain Zhang's delightful voice also came: "There is something!" ”

The people soon gathered and began to carefully clear the earth. Soon a ding ear was revealed, and as soon as he looked at the head, Captain Zhang cheered again: "It's still a big guy!" ”

After cleaning up the surrounding soil, a forty or fifty centimeter high tripod was revealed, in addition to the typical three-legged and two-eared tripod, the tripod body turned out to be round, this is a round tripod. You must know that in casting, the round tripod is much more difficult than the square tripod.

Although the body is covered with green rust, you can still see the cloud pattern and various decorations on it. The whole Dading is solemn and delicate. At this point, the excavation work is worth it. Like this kind of big round tripod, it can definitely be called the important weapon of the country.

"Good sign, keep up the good work!" Captain Zhang couldn't suppress the excitement on his face, and he didn't forget to cheer everyone up.

Even Lao Cheng's lifeless eyes were a little more energetic, and he slowly walked to the side of Dading, gently stroking the patterns on it with his hand, as if he was caressing his own child.

Seeing this scene, Brother Badou had already made a decision in his heart: such a dedicated old-timer must not be asked to leave the world with regrets.

Next, everyone fixed the big tripod with all hands and feet, and prepared to hoist. Surprisingly, the weight of this big tripod turned out to be very heavy, and the boom crunched, but it didn't move at all, worthy of being a heavy weapon!

"There might be something in Ding—ahem!" Professor Cheng's thin cheeks flushed unnaturally, and his mouth coughed violently. Seeing this, Captain Zhang hurriedly went up to help him gently tap his back, but there was no relief at all.

Seeing that Lao Cheng's face was purple, Brother Badou also walked behind him, stretched out his slap, and stroked his back. At the same time, a purple qi was also sent into Professor Cheng's body. With two heart-rending coughs, Professor Cheng spurted out a mouthful of black blood from his mouth, which splashed onto the round tripe.

"I really didn't shoot hard-" Brother Badou didn't expect this to happen, if he used enough strength, he would definitely be able to slap people and vomit blood, but he really didn't use force just now.

"I don't blame you, I still have to thank you." Professor Cheng took a bottle of water and rinsed his mouth, and then cast a grateful look at the fat man, "This mouthful of blood spit out, I should be able to hold on until the end of this excavation." Hehehe, the crockpot will inevitably break by the well, and the general will inevitably die before the battle, if I fall on the front line of excavation, I will die a well-deserved death-"

After years of illness, Lao Cheng's fear of death has decreased a lot, but when others hear these words, they still can't help but feel a burst of desolation in their hearts.

Feeling that the atmosphere was a little depressing, Professor Cheng said twice: "You all dodge first, I'll open the lid." ”

Brother Badou is a little unclear, so: this kind of body lì work, it is better for young people to do it.

Captain Zhang seemed to see his doubts, and leaned into the fat man's ear and said, "Professor Cheng accidentally opened a sealed unearthed container back then, and as a result, he contracted a strange disease, and he is protecting us——"

When everyone heard this, a wave of respect surged in their hearts. An archaeological team member walked up: "Cheng Lao, let's put on gas masks, you can always guide by the side!" ”

"I'm already like this anyway—" Cheng Lao motioned for the team member to step back, then took a knife and began to clean the junction between the Ding Gai and the Ding Body, which had been completely rusted.

Everyone present watched in silence at the venerable old man, as he struggled to remove the patina. Only the sound of Professor Cheng's scraper and his heavy breathing echoed throughout the excavation site, and the eyes of some young archaeological team members had become hazy.

Finally, after a long wait, the lid was slowly lifted without any abnormality. Everyone also breathed a sigh of relief, and gradually gathered around, and looked inside the ding. Then, the people were stunned by the scene in front of them.

There seems to be a piece of flawless jadeite in the ding, and the surface is as clear as a wash, clearer than the sky. I don't know who took a breath, but as a result, there were small ripples on the surface - inside the big ding, it turned out to be half of the turquoise liquid!

You know, this tripod is two or three thousand years away from now, and the liquid in this tripod is a relic of thousands of years ago, and it is a miracle that it can be preserved until now.

Brother Badou also came to him, his sense of smell was more sensitive, and he smelled a sweet smell, so he blurted out: "It's wine!" ”

Everyone else reacted and nodded. There was a villager named Wang Suozhu, who was usually an alcoholic, and he screamed for a spoon, saying that he wanted to taste the fine wine of thousands of years ago. It is said that wine is the fragrance of aging, which has been aged for thousands of years, and it can definitely be called aging.

However, Wang Suozhu's behavior was still stopped by Professor Cheng, and the wine was already full of patina, and the entire wine turned green; What's more, there are no bacteria or viruses in this drink, and no one can drink it without testing.

After everyone studied it, they found a big bucket, pumped the liquor in the tripod into the bucket, transported it to the top and sealed it, and then the big tripod was hung up leisurely.

Throughout the afternoon, nearly 100 pieces of cultural relics were unearthed one after another, mostly bronze, most of which were weapons, especially the two huge bronze Yue, which are still daunting.

However, Brother Badou knows that the main event is still to come, and several places where cultural relics are concentrated have not yet been dug up.

It wasn't until the eyes were black that the work was finished, and the unearthed cultural relics had been registered one by one, and even the barrel of wine had not been spared. Moreover, there are armed police soldiers on duty at the scene, and the precautions are very strict.

After a tiring day, everyone got into the tent early, and Brother Badou also slept until dawn, and he didn't wake up until Captain Zhang rang the bell.

While eating breakfast, a hired villager ran to Captain Zhang in a panic: "Captain, go and take a look, the lock post can't wake up, it seems that he has died of sleep!" ”

Everyone didn't care about breakfast, and they all followed the villagers to the front of the tent, Captain Zhang and Brother Badou rushed into the tent first, only to see Wang Suozhu lying there with his back facing the sky, his cheeks red, his nose fluttering slightly, and he looked sleeping.

Captain Zhang shook him a few times, and Wang Suozhu still slept soundly; Brother Badou gently patted his face for a long time, but there was no reaction at all; In the end, a villager brought some cold water and sprinkled it on Wang Suozhu's face, and this guy still fell asleep.

Brother Badou suddenly woke up: "Last night, did he steal the wine in Yuanding?" (To be continued......)
