Cui Peng, a new member of the expedition team, graduated from an archaeology department in Gan Province only this year.

Originally, there were few opportunities for new employees like him to go out to practice, and the most important thing in the early stage was to engage in the cleaning and compilation of cultural relics, but the scale of the archaeological excavation work in Honghu Village allowed him to enter the actual combat stage so quickly.

However, apparently Cui Peng was happy too early, as a pink and tender member of the scientific expedition team, he was taken by an experienced senior at the excavation site, and the old comrades were also very attentive to explain to Cui Peng various techniques and techniques discovered by himself while excavating the ruins.

At this moment, they are not with Director Yao, they are on the other side of the ancient city ruins, and there are many ancient architectural relics around, but there are no buildings in the place where they excavated, like a city square.

"Master Duan, I saw a lot of people around Director Yao just now, let's go take a look!" Cui Peng was digging the ground with a hoe and a hoe, and now they knew at a glance that there were no ancient relics or anything like that, and some places might also be highlighted, so he didn't seem particularly focused at the moment.

Standing on his side, holding tools and digging the ground, the person called Lao Duan said patiently: "Xiao Cui, doing scientific research and excavation is not as fun as you imagine in school, this is a very boring thing, don't look listless, Director Yao assigned us this area according to the current progress, and it can't be finished in the dark!" ”

"Alas, none of us are the focus of the excavation, I thought it would be so interesting to excavate a valuable artifact this time!" Cui Peng said dejectedly.

Lao Duan smiled again and comforted: "We are all a whole, but the division of labor is different, all the excavations found that our credit will not be less, what is there to complain about, your mentality is not good!" ”

"Hehe, I'm just talking, I just haven't personally unearthed an ancient artifact of some value!" Cui Peng's desire to discover antiques with his own hands is very strong, and it has become a knot in his heart at this time.

The teacher Lao Duan said: "Okay, when you reach our age, you won't think like this, do things well, there are many opportunities like this!" ”

Cui Peng had a grudge, under the persuasion of Lao Duan, it was not very effective, and he went down with a chisel on the soil in front of his feet, and suddenly the chisel encountered a relatively hard object, he thought it was just a stone mixed in the soil, but Lao Duan next to him didn't think so, and with his experience, he immediately heard this different sound difference.

"Xiao Cui, stop it!" Seeing Cui Peng holding the chisel and planning to hoe again, Lao Duan hurriedly stopped.

"Master Duan, what's the matter?" Cui Peng put down the chisel and asked suspiciously.

"No, the sound of your chisel just now is wrong." Lao Duan said with a frown.

"Xiao Cui, you continue to dig the soil below, but this time the strength is smaller, there may be a surprise you are looking forward to!" Lao Duan thought about it for a while.

Since the master said this, Cui Peng naturally could only do it, and when he heard what Lao Duan said just now, he suddenly came to his ears: "Master Duan, you said that there are cultural relics below?" ”

Lao Duan looked at him and smiled mysteriously: "Hehe, there must be surprises, but I can't say if they are cultural relics!" ”

Didn't dig a few hoes, and sure enough, something different from the dirt was revealed underneath, and at first Cui Peng was a little unclear, and after a few hoes, soon a piece of animal bones appeared in front of him.

"Ahh Cui Peng shouted, threw away the chisel and pointed to the bone excitedly: "Sure enough, there was a discovery!" ”

Lao Duan on the side was not surprised, but his face was full of confusion, he walked to Cui Peng's side and picked up the chisel he had dropped, carefully digging around the bone, and soon a complete skeleton appeared in front of them.

"Human bones, these are definitely human bones!" Cui Peng continued to shout.

At this time, Lao Duan's face became more and more heavy, a human skeleton was found, he did not stop excavating, and soon another human skeleton was rediscovered.

Soon a small dirt pit was dug into a flat place, and the corpses of one body after another were piled up in the dirt pit, Cui Peng was already shocked by the scene in front of him, and opened his mouth wide and never shouted again.

With all his strength, Lao Duan threw the chisel on the ground on the side, and said breathlessly: "Xiao Cui, quickly call Director Yao and them over, and say that there is a heavy discovery here, let them come over and see the scene together!" ”

"Okay, okay, I'll go!" Cui Peng ran away when he heard Lao Duan's order.

Soon, Director Yao at the excavation site was brought over by Cui Peng, and there were other people along the way, Gu Hongyu and his father were also in the crowd.

"Old Duan, what did you discover?" A scientific researcher who was following Director Yao asked loudly before he approached, his vision was blocked by the person in front of him, otherwise he would not have asked this question.

Before Lao Duan could answer, Director Yao, who was walking in front, lowered his body to the bottom of the pit full of corpses, and the people who came with him were also squeezed by me, and I squeezed you, and was shocked when he looked at the scene in front of him.

"Director, since the excavation of the ancient city ruins, there have been no corpses, and now as soon as they appear, they are found in groups, I estimate that this pit with buried bones is not small, I'm afraid this is just the tip of the iceberg!" Lao Duan said softly to Director Yao, who was approaching him.

Director Yao sighed: "Now I estimate that this ancient city was destroyed in the war, just now we have found two corpses firmly nestled together, the big one is obviously protecting the underage child, but the two corpses can still see obvious wounds after cutting with knives and guns, and the corpses here are the same, you see, each corpse also has scars of one kind or another." ”

"Yao Suo, you see it's not too early this day, do you want to continue to excavate here or wait to come back tomorrow?" Lao Duan suddenly asked.

Director Yao obviously didn't expect Lao Duan to ask like this, but after thinking about it, he said with a smile: "Continue to start work and wait for the meeting I will arrange for other personnel to come over with a lighting line, I am afraid that no one will be busy, rest assured that I will personally stick to this side and send the personnel of other not very important excavation points to clean up the findings here, maybe I can find some clues!" ”

In fact, there is no need for Director Yao to arrange it, the staff of other excavation points are looking at the time of getting off work at the moment, and everyone here is coming to watch, and when they hear Director Yao's words, they look at each other and consciously dig up gently around the corpses.

A big discovery made every member of the scientific expedition team energetic, at this moment the sky has darkened, but the pit is like day, they seem to forget the fatigue of the hungry fish, and they are struggling to dig the soil without sleep and food.

There is a lot of strength in numbers, and the sand, gravel and dirt disappear at a speed visible to the naked eye.

More corpses appeared at the bottom of the pit, these human corpses seemed to have fused into a whole, many bones were stacked on top of each other, some could still see a human form, and some were completely scattered, I don't know which bone belonged to which corpse.

In the end, the entire pit where the remains were buried was cleared, and the members of the expedition used a tape measure to measure the area of 20 meters long and 10 meters wide, a full 200 square meters.

Director Yao and Lao Duan were not idle, they carefully stepped on the corpses, carefully cleaned up the soil on the corpses, and there were still a lot of wrecks scattered under these corpses, sorting out a few square areas of corpses, and they concluded that the number of people buried in the 200-square-meter pit was at least more than 1,000 people.

In ancient times, this remote place was inaccessible, and the scale of a city with a thousand people was already very large, and besides, these people don't know if it's all of the city.

Looking at the bones of hundreds of square meters in front of him, even the bold Gu Hongyu was still a little shudder when he thought about this scene, and he didn't know why these people would die here in groups at that time, was it really because of the war, how murderous it took to do this kind of tragedy.

"Report it, the situation here is beyond our imagination, and we must pay attention to it!" Director Yao sighed and said to an archaeological team member beside him.

Lao Duan also sighed and said: "I have done archaeology for decades, this is probably the most dead people I have encountered, and the only regret is that I know that no useful written records have been found yet." ”

This excavation cannot be said that no books and other cultural relics were found, but perhaps the age is too old, or these books and materials have not been properly kept, and some of the written books found by the archaeological team have turned to dust.

"Don't worry, there will always be clues, who would believe such a heavy archaeological discovery as Tucheng if there is no corresponding historical event to tell it!" Director Yao said with a smile.

"I'm afraid that this Honghu Village will be on fire for a while because of this matter, it's strange to say that Xiao Gu, this kid is not good to us during this time, it's just a response, it turns out that he just wants us to find out, this time it's as he wants!" Lao Duan also said with a smile.

"Whatever, but their food tastes really good, I have a little nostalgia for it, I have to come to this place often from the beginning in the future, okay, it's late, let's all get here today!" Director Yao and the others are accustomed to archaeological work, and they are already talking about dinner in the place where the corpses are everywhere.

The team members are now dragging their tired bodies out one by one, to say that the most worried among these people is Cui Peng, what happened to this kid today can be regarded as strange, originally counting on the discovery of important cultural relics, but unearthed countless ancient corpses, the gap in this mood can be imagined!

Cui Peng only remembered at this time, no wonder Lao Duan gave him a mysterious smile when he was digging the ground, and said strangely: "Cultural relics can't be said, but there must be surprises!" ”R1152
