Yi Han and Lin Qingwan each dragged a small suitcase to find Professor Chen and the three of them.
Professor Chen brought a lot of things with them, and as a disciple, Lin Qingwan naturally took over the task of checking their luggage for them.
As Lin Qingwan's boyfriend, Yi Han took over the luggage work more naturally.
So Professor Chen was left to talk to Mrs. Chen, who came to see them off.
Chen Yi didn't dare to get involved with her grandfather's feelings, so she also dragged a suitcase to keep up.
"Qingwan, my grandfather will ask you all the way."
"Don't worry, it shouldn't be a big deal, there are so many people over there."
There are indeed a lot of people in the central and southern regions.
The place where the ancient tomb was found is in a col 60 kilometers away from the local county seat, and the road here was just built a few years ago, because the scenery here is good, so occasionally there will be trekking friends who come here to climb the mountain.
But after all, there is no development here, and people come here to basically live in their own tents, or they can only drive out of the country to find a village to spend the night.
There are no villages within a radius of 20 miles, and it can be said to be sparsely populated.
Because the ancient tomb was discovered, and its value was huge and immeasurable, Zhongnan sent a part of the garrison to maintain order.
In fact, it is to protect the ancient tomb from theft.
This group of ancient tombs is too large, at first it was found that the two mountains were connected, and when I continued to survey a few years ago, I found that there were also ancient tombs behind the mountain facing the starting point, because it was not possible to open it now, and it was not sure whether the two mountains were connected here.
In other words, this group of ancient tombs occupies almost three mountains, because the area is too large, and it is in a densely wooded mountain, it is difficult to find a few thieves who have rushed in.
The museum's security guards and their researchers alone could not have managed such a large tomb complex, and the local garrison would traditionally help.
Now this area has basically been watched, and some important locations have even set up barbed wire, and the central and southern governments are also very concerned about this, because such a huge group of ancient tombs, it is difficult to make a tourist attraction in the future, which will bring huge economic benefits to the nearby towns and counties.
Soldiers, plus a large number of researchers and excavators, they directly let this place form a small market, first the nearby villagers drove at the foot of the mountain to occupy a vacant land to sell food and drink, and now only a few months of work, the government has taken over, quickly cleared a vacant land at the foot of the mountain, built a tin house with iron sheets, and rented it to nearby villagers for business.
The rent is also very low, ranging from 300 to 500 per month per month, and there are also those who are reluctant to spend money, so they directly set up an open-air stall along this vacant land to do business.
In fact, I don't make much money, but after the fall, there is no work in the fields, so everyone can generate a little income.
The real money is still made by relying on the antique trade made by this ancient tomb.
Antique dealers like Fangqiu came to the door with a fishy smell, directly and generously rented a tin house from the government, and then began to set up stalls to collect antiques.
That said, but in private, who knows how
Someone quietly took something to test, and it turned out to be sold for tens of thousands of yuan, and the nearby villagers were stunned, and they ran home to find out what old things they had, regardless of whether they had all brought it here.
Therefore, these antique dealers are the source of economic development at the foot of the mountain.
Because of the Chinese New Year, except for the soldiers, everyone went home for the New Year, and this kind of ancient tomb that has not yet touched the point will not start work in the first month, so it is put in the second month of the lunar calendar.
But there are also researchers who stay to study the things that have been raised, such as Uncle Qu, the first thing he found at that time was a pile of messy oracle bones, which should have been brought to the tomb by tomb robbers, but I don't know why they fell.
He was so addicted to it that he didn't go home for years, and lived directly in a simple dormitory built for their fellows by the ancient tomb.
There are some researchers like him, and these senior researchers will take students with them later, plus the soldiers in the mountains will occasionally go down the mountain to make a tooth sacrifice, so there are two shops at the foot of the mountain, and after the seventh day of the first month, some villagers directly drive a three-horse carriage to do business, and they can earn dozens of yuan a day.
Fang Qiu didn't know for what purpose, and his antique dealer, who came and went freely and chicly, actually stayed here.
Lin Qingwan brought him a lot of delicious food from home, and as soon as he got off the car with Professor Chen, he began to scan the simple market, trying to find out the shops in Fangqiu.
After a long time, she found the word "Hanmo Zhai" in a low tin house, said hello to Professor Chen, and Lin Qingwan and Yi Han dragged their luggage over.
Han Mozhai closed the door, Lin Qingwan looked at it, and after talking to her uncle from the depths of her heart, she began to knock on the door.
The door was particularly loud, and when she knocked lightly, there was a loud clang, and the nearby merchants who were still open all poked out to see, and when they saw the two of them dragging their suitcases, they showed a particularly kind smile.
They sell food, and as long as someone comes, they have business, especially this kind of dragging, which looks like a long-term stay, and they especially like it.
Lin Qingwan smiled back at them, and then continued to slam the door, no, it was a knock.
The people inside were estimated to have been noisy a lot, and after a loud roar, there was a clattering sound, and Lin Qingwan stopped at this time.
The people in the room yelled, "Who?"
Lin Qingwan responded, "I"
Fang Qiu pulled the door from the inside in a messy manner, poked his head out of it with sleepy eyes, and was startled when he saw Lin Qingwan, "You, you, why are you here?"
Lin Qingwan grinned, "Come and see you." β
Seeing her smile, Fang Qiu couldn't help but tighten the quilt he was wearing, sniffed and said, "My shop is a single room, so I can't live in it." β
Lin Qingwan glanced at the quilt on him with disgust, waved his hand, and said, "Uncle Xiao, you better go and get dressed first." β
Fang Qiu snorted, pulled the door down again, and only opened it again with a half-bang, only to change into clothes and a down jacket.
He put the two of them in and went to wash, "Why did you come here and finally can't stand it, come to serve your teacher"
"I'm not here to study," Lin Qingwan said half-truthfully, "I'm here to hunt ghosts." β
"How can there be a ghost here," Fang Qiu said vaguely with a toothbrush, "If there is, it is also passed down by people." β
This shop is only about 20 square meters, and it is divided into two parts by the square mound, with a shop in front and a counter, and a chair behind the counter, and behind the chair is a row of shelves with all kinds of messy things.
Behind the shelf is a partition, and there is a door attached to the iron wall, and behind it is what he lives in.
Although it is a temporary accommodation, the inside is well furnished, and there is a small window next to the head, which is used for ventilation.
Yes, there is a limit to electricity in this ghost place, so he didn't install air conditioning, and he was particularly sorry to install an electric blanket for himself, and on the left hand side of the entrance is a small bathroom, in which there are all kinds of things such as water utensils.
Lin Qingwan was particularly curious, "It's so far away from the county seat, where does the water come from?"
Electricity can also be pulled down from nearby cables, because they also need electricity for research, but this water is brought from it
Fang Qiu turned on the water, shrunk his face, and said, "The one that was led down from the mountain, just the opposite mountain, there is no ancient tomb, there is a small stream, they made a simple water storage tank halfway up the mountain and lost it." β
He washed his face and walked out, pointing to the mountain road where they were, "Originally, there was a better water here, and the mountains and rivers were beautiful, but the villagers below knew that there were ancient tombs on it, so they didn't dare to use the water from the mountain, so they could only take trouble to lead it from the opposite side." β
Lin Qingwan nodded.
"Honestly, what the hell are you doing here?"
"Tourism"
Fang Qiu looked at her silently, then looked at Yi Han, "Xiao Han, you tell Uncle Shi, what are you doing here?"
Yi Han smiled, "The excuse is indeed tourism." β
"What about the real purpose?"
Yi Han glanced at Lin Qingwan and said with a smile, "Come to catch ghosts, Uncle Fang, we didn't lie." β
Fang Qiu blinked, and only said in a half-loud voice, "I've lived here for so long, and I haven't seen a ghost come to the door, it's a male ghost."
Lin Qingwan glanced at him and said, "Even female ghosts won't come to you." Okay, I'm just going to say hello to you and let you know that your dear nephew is looking for you, and I'll go to the teacher and Uncle Qu first. β
"Go, go, your Uncle Qu hasn't come down the mountain for three days, he must know more in the mountains than me, you can ask more."
Lin Qingwan stopped to look at him, Fang Qiu also stopped, and said with a confused expression, "Let's go, I'll show you the way." β
"No, the teacher showed us the way just now, Uncle Xiao, you just wait for us at the foot of the mountain, prepare some food, and we will come down to find you later."
"I'm not too troublesome," Fang Qiu took Lin Qingwan's suitcase and smiled very brightly, "My niece is here, why don't you want Uncle Shi to do it, let's go, I'll send you up." β
Lin Qingwan wanted to say more, but Yi Han shook his head at him, and she could only acquiesce to him to follow.
The researchers' place of work and residence should be a little higher, and what can be taken out of the cemetery at the moment will be transferred to the research institute for research and preservation, and the residence is not far away, a little lower, but there is also a certain distance from the trading market at the foot of the mountain.
It was built for good management.
Entering the researcher's living quarters is a checkpoint that is militarized and heavily vetted by anyone who comes and goes.
Fang Qiu has been here for so long, he has only been in twice, and both times Qu Hong brought it in. But Qu Hong often indulged in research, or went to the cemetery, at this time Fang Qiu could not find anyone, he could only squat outside and look through.
Yi Han and Lin Qingwan came to travel, but Professor Chen had selfish intentions and gave them an entry and exit card for the sake of the general director.
The reason is that Lin Qingwan is a student he brings and can participate in part of the research.
As soldiers in the garrison, they only reviewed the materials brought by Professor Chen, and made sure that the person and ID were in unison and could be brought in, and as for the personnel arrangement, it was Professor Chen's business.
Fang Qiu used Lin Qingwan to enter again. The chapter content is being restored, so please visit it later.
