Mr. Shen looked at the map again, he shook his head and said, "Tut-tut, with this set of equipment, don't go far away, you won't be afraid to go to Russia in the north." ”

I laughed at him, "You just have to blow, if you really have the ability, just go and show us one." ”

He gave me a blank look: "It's not me who blows, I must be fine when I'm your age, it's just that the hero doesn't mention the courage of the year!" I was given a pass to go to Africa where he had discovered it by boat. ”

I said, "Come on, don't feed the tiger and lion." I heard that the ecological environment of the prairie over there is very good, and if you go, you have to go down the food chain two notches. ”

So the four of us laughed and walked north along the river your.

Seriously, the scenery on both sides of the river is not very interesting, except for the small hillside is a small plain, and everywhere is a very barren area, only the high sky is blue, and occasionally one or two birds of unknown species fly over and chirp twice. But most of the time we look at the ground, the gold and stone investigation, how to find things without looking at the ground. If you look at it for a long time, you will have the illusion that people are moving without moving.

Along the way, Mr. Shen taught me knowledge like in class: "There are many ruins in N Province, from the Paleolithic Age to the Song, Liao, Jin, and Yuan Dynasties, and the research value is very high. Because the natural environment of this place is very suitable for a more primitive way of life, it is also especially suitable for nomads who live in pursuit of water and grass. The earliest is like the Paleolithic site of Guozhuzi Mountain, and some people say that it is a fine stone tool, which has to be 6,000 years ago; The most famous in City C is the Hongshan Cultural Heritage Group, where there were painted pottery and jade artifacts at that time. There are also ruins like Fuhegoumen, the ruins of the Jinjie moat, and a few cities and several imperial tombs that I showed you before. In short, this area can be said to be a paradise of gold and stone science.

Although it is not as splendid as the underground of the ancient capital of A City, Gao Xin's hometown, it is definitely unique. So we may encounter a lot of relics from different periods on this trip, if you see it and can't tell it, show it to me. ”

As I listened, I thought to myself, I think I had heard these things in class, but I should have returned them to the teacher, and almost all of them had already been returned.

I usually walk at the back of the line, because I'm not stupid, first I don't have much experience, just follow the study, and the more important reason is that I picked up valuable pottery pieces on the road or something, who picked up who recorded, and who had to carry it, it was really getting heavier and heavier. In comparison, I still like to travel light.

In the past, when I was in the field gold and stone science class, the teacher once said that under normal circumstances, in addition to the architectural remains left on the surface, the gold and stone investigation can only find relics that have been disturbed from the cultural layer to the surface by other reasons, such as digging ditches, quarrying, ploughing, and natural forces such as mudslides, so it is not like strict gold and stone work, but a bit like looking for treasures all over the ground, although it is not a so-called treasure without scientific research value.

The so-called cultural layer can be understood as the ground where the ancients lived, and the ground of the people in recent years is below us, and the people of the Ming Dynasty are below the people of the Qing Dynasty, the old ones are below, the new ones are above, and so on.

As an interjection here, although I am a scumbag, I also know that the most important aspect of Jinshi work is to look at the soil. The change of soil color in the same cultural layer may be a relic, such as a tomb is flower soil; The longitudinal change of soil color is the change of the cultural layer and the change of dynasties. Therefore, the role of the Luoyang shovel is to look at the soil, one is to see how deep the cultural layer is, and the other is to see if there are any relics, such as the tomb robbers' favorite tombs, which is also caused by objective reasons, who makes the burial goods in the tomb are cultural relics.

Although my eyes are poisonous and sensitive to changes in the color of the soil, I can't tell anything just by looking at the soil on the surface, so I can only follow them to pick up something.

But things are not as simple as I imagined, every night when I rest, Mr. Shen will share the "harvest" of the day, so that everyone's weight is about the same.

We didn't walk very fast, only seven or eight kilometers a day, but we were still very tired every day. Not to mention bending over and walking with weights, you have to use your brain while walking, and the most important thing is that after consumption, you often can't get a good supplement.

It's okay only when you can pass by the villages and towns, no matter whether you understand the language or not, anyway, the money is passable, and you know that you want to eat when you pay two times, and the ethnic minorities are also real, and you can cook as much food as you want.

But after all, this situation is still rare, only two or three days can be encountered once, most of the time we still eat dry food on cold water, fortunately, although the water is cold, it has a sweet taste in the mouth. The sleeping conditions at night were difficult, so we had to squeeze into the big tent we brought with us. This tent is usually carried by Brother Sun, I look at it no matter how it is, I have to have a ten pound or eight pound, this guy usually doesn't talk much nonsense, and he is indeed a bit like a diligent old scalper.

But I have to say that the various ruins I see these days are much more powerful than reading the pictures in the textbook during class. Although I said that I had an internship in Jinshi, but the school took into account the safety of the students and the lack of experience, and arranged for us to be relatively mediocre ruins, to put it bluntly, I just can't dig anything, so there will be the kind of "well" that I later appeared, as clean as a blank paper. Of course, there is nothing wrong with the school arranging it this way, the pit that is not dug deep by the cultural layer will naturally not be too deep, and the students are not prone to accidents, and they do not have to worry about the valuable unearthed objects being damaged by the students.

Therefore, when I saw some carvings and murals on the stone walls, I was amazed from the heart, although I don't know what period the ancestors did, but I didn't bother to ask Mr. Shen, as long as it is beautiful, gives me a visual impact, and makes me feel happy, isn't it enough?

As a result, I realized that this reflects another truth: I am indeed not an academic material.

After walking for about a week, we walked to a wide plain, and Mr. Shen pointed to a long bulge in the distance and said to me: "This is the Golden Trench, which was the military defense project of the Jin people back then, just like the Great Wall, you see, it looks like a city wall, doesn't it?" ”

I said, "No, like mounds, more like ridges." ”

All three of them laughed and said I was such an honest child. After so many years, it is not easy to leave so much.

In the evening of that day, we came to the reservoir mentioned by Mr. Shen earlier, and the width and tranquility of the reservoir made us feel refreshed and happy. In fact, it is said to be a reservoir, and there are no artificial traces, so it should belong to a natural reservoir.

However, Mr. Shen, an old liar, began to tell us how beautiful the scenery was when he last came here, how green the grass was, and what it was like to see the blue sky and white clouds and grassland reflected on the clear bottom of the lake.

I listened with disdain, but didn't say much, and even later I seemed to see it in my fantasy. But the most gratifying thing is that coming here means that we are going back. Although the experience of these days is not wonderful, it is indeed more interesting and meaningful than sitting in the dormitory.

However, as he blew, the sky began to change, and dark clouds appeared around him, and they slowly gathered. Teacher Shen knew that it was going to rain like this, so he immediately stopped talking and began to look for a place to set up camp.

Brother Li listened to it for so long, and couldn't help but say: "Look at that, the cowhide has been blown, and God can't stand it." ”

I said, "Why don't you set up your tent by the reservoir tonight?" It's nice to be able to sleep at night listening to the sound of the rain. ”

Teacher Shen looked at me like a grandson, sneered, and asked me, "Are you kid lacking in heart?" Aren't you afraid that the river will rise, and you will dream of urinating on the kang at night, and wake up to find yourself swimming? ”

I was right, God knows what the rain could be, and if it did get flooded, I would be fine, and my swimming from the south would not be a problem for me. However, these are all northern men, and whether they can protect themselves is a question.

There were no trees on the grasslands here, so we had to quickly get some water for dinner in the reservoir, and went to a nearby halfway up the hill to find a relatively flat place that could be sheltered from the wind on both sides and start pitching our tents.

It was getting dark, and after a few days of pitching a tent, I was able to get the hang of it, so we were able to do it quickly.

As soon as I got in, the sound of rain began to crackle overhead, and there was a sound of thunder in the distance, which is strange to say, so many days before, you could see the stars at night, but today, it is actually going to be a thunderstorm.

I thought to myself, maybe our ancestors, who also went far away back then, unfortunately encountered a thunderstorm, and it was under these conditions that they found that there was no place to hide from the rain, and they invented the umbrella in a fit of rage.

We listened to the sound of the rain outside, nibbling on the dry food in our mouths, as if there were only four of us left in the world, four primitive people who had just invented the house.

After eating with each other in sight, we sat around in the tent, poured all the harvest of the day in the middle, and began to count. Everyone carried a lot of pottery, porcelain and stone carvings in their bags, and although it was my first time here, I was lucky, thanks to my good eyes, and I also picked up jade.

Mr. Shen took it in his hand and looked at it carefully, and said that it should be the ancient jade of the Hongshan culture, but this kind of general can only be seen when the Hongshan culture is excavated, why it is on the surface He can't say clearly, the better one may be brought out by geological movements, and the second one may be accidentally brought out by the herdsmen when digging the ground, of course, the worst possibility is that the tomb robbers dug up the tomb and left it behind.
