Chapter Ninety-Seven: A Rare Opportunity
I followed Xiao Fang and the others to the construction site, which was not very far from the small village where I was stationed. This place looks like a group of tombs, and there are square or nearly square pits nearby, large and small, and at first glance they are all vertical pit tombs.
Teacher Ouyang said to Xiao Fang: "I still have a group of children to bring here, you can take your classmates around in the afternoon, and then you can do whatever you like." ”
Xiao Fang obviously knew him better than me, nodded and said to me, "You come with me, I'll show you the tomb here." ”
Saying that, I ran with her to the partition between the probes, Teacher Ouyang was behind him, and patted me on the back meaningfully, I looked back, and he smiled and signaled me with his chin to go quickly, and I followed Xiao Fang forward.
If someone else had told me about this cemetery, I might not have been happy to hear it, because I soon found out that it was a real "ghetto", as you could tell from the size of the tombs. No wonder, for such a large tomb, Mr. Ouyang didn't even do security, and it turned out that there were no burial goods at all.
But after all, it was Xiao Fang who told me, and I heard every word clearly.
"The tombs of the ancient Dian Kingdom here, all we have found so far are civilians, and the size of the tombs is two meters long and less than one meter wide.
I said in my heart, sure enough, I guessed correctly. To be honest, this kind of civilian burial really has nothing to talk about, it is nothing more than to study and study funeral rites and so on based on data analysis, and at most engage in some physical anthropology, and the rest is not of much use. And this is more professional, it seems that I am ignorant if I talk too much, it is better to talk about a little down-to-earth question, so I asked her: "Ancient Dian Kingdom?" How did you determine the ancient Dian Kingdom? ”
"At present, it is from the strata and unearthed pottery that the stratum era is from the Warring States period to the Han Dynasty, and the pottery is quite local characteristics, and you have to see it yourself to understand. You don't think the Dian Kingdom is mysterious, do you? ”
I nodded: "I really haven't touched it before." ”
That's right, in fact, there is nothing mysterious about the Dian Kingdom, people just feel mysterious about things they know less. There are more mysterious things in this world than it. ”
I nodded again, too close to what I had thought. I teased her: "Anyway, your school is really good, and you are so far away to dig up civilian graves." ”
She smiled: "No way, my mentor's construction site is here, and this year he happened to take the internship, and the title of my graduation essay is also related to this area, just to accumulate some materials." Besides, I also want to dig the big tomb here, the previous gold and stone reports have said that in addition to the various characteristic bronzes of the Dian Kingdom, there are also gold, jade, agate and other noble burial goods, that is so interesting. ”
I looked at it again, and it was really the same, to be honest, this kind of ordinary tomb now, no longer in my eyes. I remembered Mr. Ouyang's entrustment to me, so I said to Xiao Fang: "The tombs here look similar, why don't I go to your side to help you do something." ”
"Okay, you come with me." She readily agreed, and led me to her side. From the words written by a person, you can see the character of this person. In the same way, a person digging a probe can also be. Xiao Fang is a detective who is very "fine", which makes people feel very comfortable to watch, as if she is a lady. But at the same time, I realized, why don't there even be migrant workers here?
When I asked her, she said, "It's too remote to find a few peasants, and some of them can't understand the official language, so I didn't invite them." However, the burial here is not deep, there is not much soil, and we usually solve it ourselves. ”
Saying that, she looked at the side of her: "Look at those little girls, they don't have much strength, and they usually ask boys to help." ”
The schoolgirls from those parties originally looked up at us, and when she said this, some of them lowered their heads, as if they were very shy.
At this time, the "second-rate son" who kept his head up and his chest high interjected: "Senior sister, didn't you also ask your boyfriend to help today?" ”
"Don't talk nonsense, do your job." She also seemed to be familiar with this guy, and although the words were like this, there was not even a fluctuation in her tone.
I went down to her exploration, and found that the soil layer is indeed not deep, and the soil is not strong, scrape the surface, clean up the relics, and it doesn't take much effort to go down to a set of processes under the stratum, and then take students out for internship, one person and a square of 16 square meters can go back almost after finishing, and it is not a big problem to average the labor to every day.
It just so happened that there was a tomb in her side that was being cleaned, and the human bones were almost exposed, and she had to continue to clean up the aftermath. I helped her draw, drawing, especially drawing human bones, which was very painful, but I happened to practice a little skill in the past two years, and even she praised me for my good drawing.
An afternoon passed quickly. I went back with them for dinner, which was as shabby as lunch, but who made this place really out of the ordinary.
Teacher Ouyang asked me, "Xiao Zhou, have you had anything else to do lately?" ”
"No, I was going to say unemployed recently," I was going to say unemployed, but it was too embarrassing to think of it, "After finishing the underwater gold stone, take a break for a while." ”
"Then since you're here, stay here for a few more days if you have nothing to do, just do me a favor, it's too hard for me to bring so many students alone, you have more experience, and you usually guide and guide them more."
"Okay, welcome, welcome, warm welcome!" Before I could speak, the second-rate man on the next table screamed first, this guy doesn't know how long his ears are, and it's too easy to use.
"You see, our students want you to stay." Teacher Ouyang said with a smile.
Actually, I really didn't think about when to leave just now, but since I have the opportunity to stay here for a few more days, of course it is a good thing for me, and I can't ask for it, and Mr. Ouyang seems to be on my side.
So I immediately nodded and agreed: "Okay, then you can add me a pair of chopsticks every day for dinner." ”
After eating, I was just in the dormitory to communicate with the junior students, and the voice of Teacher Ouyang came in outside: "Xiao Zhou, come out quickly." ”
I didn't know what was going on, so I went out. At this time, he and Xiao Fang were both standing outside, seemingly waiting for me.
"I'm old, I can't sit still after eating, I want to go out for a walk, or you can accompany me."
I saw that it was getting dark, and although I didn't know which one he was singing, I could guess it. So I nodded in agreement.
As he walked, he said, "I'll tell you a story, I've never told anyone before, don't tell it, God knows what you know." ”
I look at his mysterious energy, like an old naughty boy, and I can't help but think of Teacher Shen, but his appearance is a little kinder, lacking the little bit of wildness that Teacher Shen occasionally comes out.
"Back then, I wasn't so fat, but I was also a handsome guy, more handsome than you." As he spoke, he looked at me. "There are more girls chasing me." These words almost didn't make Xiao Fang laugh out loud, no matter how big a person's changes are, they can't be so outrageous.
He said seriously: "But back then, I only liked my current wife." As the so-called weak water 3,000, only one scoop is taken to drink. Do you know why? ”
"Don't you say where we know where to go?" I replied.
"Hey, you may not believe it, but when I went to the construction site, she was the only one who ran from the school and brought me a popsicle, although it was all melted when I arrived, but I decided to marry her in this life."
I can't help but doubt the truth of this story, I'm not a fool, isn't this a copy of what happened to me? But he still couldn't expose him on the face, so he said, "Oh? yes, that's really, not easy. ”
"Hey! Right! That's to the point, it's not easy. Thousands of miles to send goose feathers to return the gift is light and affectionate, I said that you ran from home more than a thousand miles, right? It's not easy to say that you're not easier than my stupid with popsicles in the summer. ”
Saying that, Xiao Fang and I can't answer it. He looked at us embarrassed, smiled, and continued on his way.
My relationship with her is still so delicate. She must know that I still like her, but I don't know if I should find fault with her now. Although I was mentally prepared before I came, it was still a little difficult to say it in the face of her. After all, there is a good chance of being rejected again.
Mr. Ouyang took us to a hillside, where the vegetation at the top of the slope was not as dense as when we came up just now, and the height was just over the surrounding trees, so the view was very open.
He found a very flat stone at the top of the slope and wiped it with dust, as if he wanted to sit down. But he stood up and said to us, "Come, rest for a while." ”
This stone bar is a bit empty for two people, and it is crowded with three people, so after the two of us sit on it, the place is very small.
I was still worried about how he was going to sit, but he threw me an oil lamp: "Well, I remember that there is something going on at the construction site, I'll go back first, you guys rest here for a while, happy to watch the sunset for a while, or watch the stars for a while, don't rush back, ah, I don't need to help." ”
Then he turned around and blew the hooligan whistle and went down. I knew that he was trying to match the two of us, and obviously Xiao Fang couldn't have known about it, but he just tacitly understood it.
Xiao Fang and I looked at each other, I didn't know what she thought, anyway, I was excited, and I didn't even know what to say for a while.
Xiao Fang sighed first, and said to me with a helpless smile: "Alas, what can I do about such a mentor." ”
"Then let's see the sunset, it's pretty beautiful anyway." I pointed in the direction of the setting sun, and by this time half of the sun had already set, and it was really the southwestern mountains, and the blood red of the sky was very spectacular, stimulating every nerve in me. And in front of our slope, this beautiful scenery is reflected in the small bay of clear water, which is more peaceful than the sky.
I wanted to hug her so badly, but I didn't have the guts.
