Chapter 60: The Dragonbone Puzzle
"I think it's better to buy something." Before leaving, I said to Liu Rumei.
Liu Rumei was puzzled and asked, "What are you doing with things?" ”
I explained, "The first time I went to your house, wouldn't it be empty-handed? ”
Liu Rumei frowned and said, "What are you doing at my house?" ”
I was confused at this time, and I said weakly: "Go to your house to see the keel." ”
"Huh?" Liu Rumei was even more puzzled, and said: "The keel is at the construction site, what my father just said yesterday, why are you confused today?" ”
"Oh......" Hearing her say this, I felt a little embarrassed, and I didn't dare to say that I was absent-minded yesterday, and hurriedly said: "Maybe I heard the difference, since that's the case, let's go." ”
……
The location of the pedestrian street is in the old town of Hedong City, and the location where the keel was found is in the newly planned Xicheng District, and the distance between the two is not too far, about three kilometers or so. With a lot of traffic, pedestrians and shops lining the streets, Hedong is thriving as a third-tier city with a population of five million.
Xicheng District is different from the old town, at least in the street plan and the surrounding buildings, giving it a feeling of spaciousness and comfort, with a strong modern atmosphere.
I looked at the high-end residential communities around me, and I was muttering to myself, maybe these are all developed by Zhang Bancheng. Liu Rumei looked at me left and right, and she was not idle along the way, and simply introduced me. For example, there is a park here, a playground over there, a shopping mall over there, a unit over there, etc., I nodded and coped with it, but I didn't remember it until the end.
The vehicle soon arrived at the construction site mentioned by Liu Rumei, which is a small mountain bag sandwiched between two high-end villa areas. According to Liu Rumei, the original plan here was also a high-end villa, because of the existence of this hill bag, so the construction period was delayed, but I never thought that the cultural relics were dug up from this hill bag. They have already contacted the cultural relics system, and there are some staff members on site who are cleaning up, but recently the cultural relics bureau itself has been making a pot of porridge, so there are not many people sent over.
Zhang Bancheng is still dressed like that, but there are a few more people accompanying him. After meeting each other, they greeted each other politely, and then walked together towards the hill where the keel was found. After coming to the excavation site of Xiaoshanbao, everyone communicated with the staff of the Cultural Relics Bureau, and then entered the excavation site one after another.
In the center of the excavation site was the skull of a giant beast, about three meters wide and five meters long, and I looked closely and thought it was the skull of a whale. Although Hedong City is located on the Loess Plateau, it belongs to a rare basin in the middle reaches of the Yellow River, and the lowest place above sea level is 100 meters.
The secretary of the Cultural Relics Bureau briefly introduced the situation at the scene, and also believed that this was a whale skull, a fossil of ancient sea creatures, and they believed that the ancients had found this skull fossil, and the words engraved on it should have been left at that time, and made an altar for this skull fossil. This is easier to understand, after all, in ancient times, when knowledge was scarce, people accidentally discovered such a large skull must have caused a commotion, and the sacrifice or ruling class had to have an explanation to appease the people. For example, auspicious clouds descend from the sky, etc., and then altars are built to worship to stabilize people's hearts.
"Huh?" When I saw the depiction on the beast's skull, I couldn't help but sigh. The lines depicted on it are very messy, which reminds me of a thing I have seen, which is the painting hanging in the main hall of Li Er's house. I couldn't help but turn my head to look at Liu Rumei, only to meet her frowning and inquiring gaze, and it seems that she also noticed the similarity between the two.
However, the people from the cultural relics system were standing next to me, and I didn't want to ask directly, so I had to temporarily put my mind on interpreting these messy lines, and the result was just like I was in Li Er's house, and I didn't disassemble the reason.
"How?" Zhang Bancheng asked curiously.
I shook my head and said with some embarrassment, "I'm ashamed, I really can't read it, but I don't think it's a text." ”
"Not words?" Zhang Bancheng asked puzzledly: "If it's not a text, what can it be?"
I then shook my head and said, "That's my opinion, I think this is more like a picture." ”
Zhang Bancheng frowned, tilted his head and stared at the pattern for a long time, and then said, "What could this messy line be?" Criss-crossed, winding like country roads, is this a map? ”
I continued to shake my head and said, "I don't know about this, but the possibility of a map is still there, and I prefer this statement." ”
When Zhang Bancheng heard me say this, he straightened up, and then said to me with a smile: "I'm also talking nonsense, I really don't have much research on these. ”
"Intuition is sometimes the truth."
Before I could speak, someone next to me interjected, and then the people around me echoed it. Zhang Bancheng ignored this kind of behavior that was close to sycophancy, and continued to look at the patterns on the animal bones with me.
"I want to take a picture with my phone and take it back for my grandfather to see." I know the rules of the artifact system, and in this case, people are generally not allowed to take pictures, so I turned my attention to the staff on the side.
"This ......" Sure enough, when he heard me ask for a photo, he looked embarrassed.
Zhang Bancheng did not interject, which shows that this person is very particular about doing things.
Liu Rumei on the side didn't have so many scruples, she smiled and said to the staff member: "I forgot to introduce to you, this is Qin Fen, and his grandfather is the former director of the Cultural Relics Bureau." ”
"Oh, I'm glad I'm going to ......"
But luckily it will be lucky, and it will still be difficult for them to take pictures. Liu Rumei thought for a while, and then said: "That's it, I'll take this photo." ”
"Uh-huh, this one does." The staff member nodded hurriedly, Liu Rumei he knew, and knew that this eldest lady was an intern of the Cultural Relics Bureau, and it was natural to take pictures with this identity.
Liu Rumei smiled and thanked her, then took out her camera from her backpack and took a photo carefully. After the photo was taken, she put away her camera and smiled and waved at me with a scissor hand.
"Actually, it's also your Uncle Zhou's intention to let you come over and have a look today." Zhang Bancheng also took pictures when he saw them, and he was no longer silent, and continued to chat with me about his idle days.
I was curious when I heard this, and asked, "So Uncle Zhou has been here." ”
Zhang Bancheng shook his head and said, "Hey! The mess of the Cultural Relics Bureau is enough for him to be busy, how can he have time to come. ”
I nodded, it is true that Wen Xianbao's matter is still hanging, and the above did not remove these heads and brains from their posts and investigate, which is already very face-saving. Zhou Xingyao should have done this to let me interpret the text on it, but he shouldn't have thought that it was not text at all.
Zhang Bancheng continued: "In the past few days, I have heard from these staff at the scene that it is best to protect this keel and altar on site, and I am wondering if I can apply to build a small museum here, and the house next to it will not be built, and it is not bad to make a park for greening." ”
I nodded and said, "Uncle, your idea is good, I think the above should be able to support it strongly." ”
"Really?" Zhang Bancheng smiled, because the terrain of Xiaoshanbao was relatively high, he stood in place, pointed to the four low-lying clearings and began to imagine, build a pond here, and build a forest there......
Hearing him say this, he was anxious about his followers, and one of the older ones had the courage to interrupt Zhang Bancheng's words: "Dong ...... Chairman, the Urban Construction Bureau of our villa area has finally approved the project, and now the previous money has been ruined, and this piece of land has also cost a lot of money......"
Zhang Bancheng was on the rise just now, and it was inevitable that he would be a little disappointed when he said this, so he turned to him and said: "Manager Song, take a long-term view, some things can't be measured by money." ”
The person known as Manager Song hurriedly nodded: "Yes...... Chairman, but ......"
"It's okay, I'll explain it to the board." Zhang Bancheng said calmly: "Besides, if a park is built here, it will also be a good thing for the surrounding residents." ”
Hearing Zhang Bancheng say this, Manager Song's eyes lit up, he seemed to understand something, but it seemed to be different from what Zhang Bancheng thought, he smiled and whispered: "I understand, Chairman Gao Ming." ”
His inexplicable appreciation attracted the unanimous support of others.
I think Zhang Bancheng should be simple and want to protect this ruin, and this Manager Song should have thought of the rising housing prices around the park, so the surrounding real estate should be Xiaoliu's family.
After coming out of the excavation site, Zhang Bancheng broke up his followers, called Liu Rumei and me to the side alone, and then asked: "Xiao Fen, see if you want to talk just now, is there anything else?" ”
"Hmm." I nodded, then glanced at Liu Rumei, who nodded at me when she saw it. Then, I told the story of Li Erjia in Li Jiabao in the west of the city in detail, and finally said that I just felt that the two were very similar and not completely sure, so I wanted to take pictures to verify them.
Zhang Bancheng listened very carefully, he thought for a moment, and then said: "If the two are the same, then there should be some connection between the two, or this Li Er Ancestor found this dragon bone before, and then regarded the pattern on it as the treasure of the town." ”
I nodded, and said, "It's possible, but I think it's more than that, and there are more clues to the buried treasures next to the painting, and maybe he has other secrets hidden in those treasures as well." ”
Zhang Bancheng nodded and asked, "So what are you two going to do next?" ”
I glanced at Liu Rumei again, and then said, "Find a chance, let's go to Li Er's house again." ”
Liu Rumei nodded in agreement.
"Okay, then you can go and get busy, and if you encounter difficulties, remember to tell me." After Zhang Bancheng finished speaking, he touched Liu Rumei's head lovingly with his hand, and then said to her: "Yezi, you will go home more often when you are free, your mother and I miss you." ”
Liu Rumei, her pretty face flushed, and said, "Got it, Dad." ”
