5. Archaeology

The Spring Festival of 2010 passed in my drunken mud, and I even forgot about giving my parents a New Year's greeting in the middle of the night. Lao Lin and Professor Zhang evacuated the wine table until the end of the day, and the rest of the people were unrestrained, and they were all a little drunk that night, and everyone chattered to each other a lot of touching and heartfelt words after drinking. Silently blushing, occasionally looking at me a little wrong, in order to escape, I had to get even drunker, drunk to death and pulled down, not to suffer that sin. I believe that whether it is those touching words, or the feelings that are silently caused by loneliness or alcohol, they are all from the heart, but it does not prevent everyone from forgetting all these things as soon as the sun rises the next day.

But then again, as a pawn of 083, I was not buried alive in the ancient tomb, but drank to death on the wine table, how upset is Qin Weiguo? The thought of this makes me drink more happily and proudly.

This year's New Year's Day also happens to be Valentine's Day, I don't have any lover, I don't know who to call if I want to make a call, the three words "Valentine's Day" just think about it makes me feel ambiguous, there is a ready-made silence at hand to seduce, but really let me go to harm her, even if I succeed, in the end it is to lift my pants and leave without taking away a cloud, leaving her with unforgettable pain, it is better for Lao Tzu to spend money to go to the prostitute ** to have no regrets, equivalent exchange, leave love behind and keep **. Anyway, I'm not a good person, and even if the police station arrests me, Qin Weiguo will have to fight hard to catch me...... Alas, no matter what, my heart is clean.

After the fifth day of the new year, the year is over. Lao Lin gave full play to his excellent organizational talents, more than a week later, everyone went to the scene again, the top of the cliff has been cleared out of a flat land, piled up steel and cement, more than a dozen local migrant workers shoulder-to-shoulder, ** eye as the foundation, like a small construction site, hanging coffin below the flat valley floor, also set up three or four tents, the scene has a few more security and other figures, vaguely heard Lao Lin said, the armed police force has been coordinated, and when the archaeological excavation officially begins, it will also be stationed with the dispatch.

Although the momentum is huge and the work is in full swing, I always feel that Lao Lin is only in a hurry on the surface, Gao Tong mentioned that he used the feng shui phase method to select a few key points to explore first, Lao Lin turned a deaf ear, and pulled out a large-scale archaeological frame step by step, and there was no priority in making a plan, could it be that this was deliberately done for Li Fern to see?

By mid-March, the preliminary preparations had been completed, but Lao Lin's plan had not been started for a long time. I also understand now that the identities of me and Gu Guangming have begun to be transparent, and being confined in a remote town in such a name is tantamount to being closed in a different direction, which not only cuts off the contact between the two of us and the outside world, but also can properly block the contact between each other and our families, in fact, Gu Guangming and I don't need to participate in the preliminary work at all, we two know how to do a fart archaeology?

Gu Guangming has become very little recently, a while ago he called Xu Yuan every day to love me, but now he is distracted, and he often doesn't think about it, I secretly feel that he is also quite pitiful, I am a single person, it doesn't matter how long I stay there, Gu Guangming is on the same side as his love, if it goes on like this, it will not be an unexpected thing for two people to break up with a big contradiction.

In April, the Northeast slowly entered the early spring, the barren grass above and below the mountain spit out the tips of green buds, and the river valley gradually gathered and flowed streams, and the large-scale excavation of the hanging coffins finally began in an orderly manner. Nominally, Lao Lin was in charge of the entire project, but several people from 083 did not participate in the early stage, but only ran to the site every day or two.

The so-called "archaeology" is an extremely trivial and meticulous work, far less than when we were "tomb robbers" in the tomb of King Zhou Yuan, we liked to dig how to dig heartily, Professor Zhang's people went down to any cliff cave, no matter how simple and dilapidated the coffin was, they would go into it and spend a few days to clean it meticulously, although I was just a bystander, I didn't really participate in it, but I also got impatient for Professor Zhang.

The archaeologists were divided into two groups, and the early excavation was in accordance with the principle of easy first and then difficult drawn up by Lao Lin, cleaning the hanging coffins on the periphery of a large burial group, placing hanging baskets from the top of the cliff, and going down into the shallow caves. In addition to the whole artifact, even some inconspicuous broken pottery shards and even skeletons and coffin boards were also hung up. Gao Tong and Mo Mo followed down to help a few times, but maybe they were afraid of causing trouble, and no one even dared to trouble me and the big head Gu Guangming for such a thing as numbering the items, which also happened to fulfill our wishes.

This kind of cliff cave archaeology hanging up and hanging every day is obviously more time-consuming than ordinary archaeological work, and the efficiency is lower, most of the month, with the cleaning of the peripheral hanging coffin, sorted out a pile of pottery with a thousand strange symbols, pondering the small stone carvings in the shape of human beasts and simple styles, as well as a small number of rare jade products, for Professor Zhang, the results are very brilliant. From time to time, I was beating the drum in my heart, preparing for the worst, and although nothing strange had happened so far, there was no chance that something would happen before it was over.

As soon as the archaeology is formalized, it will take a long time, a month and a half has passed in a hurry, the weather has begun to heat up in the middle of May, and only the middle four or five of the forty-eight hanging coffin caves have not been cleaned up, and the people of the archaeological institute are getting more and more excited, and the reason for the excitement is that even I can guess that the burial goods unearthed in the hanging coffin group tend to the center of the feng shui tomb group that Gao Tong said "the stars hug the moon", the richer and more precious they are. If this continues, there may be some breakthrough historical discoveries in the end.

There are few people near the cliff wall of the hanging coffin, there are not many local villagers, but the security work at the scene is still done well, the armed police force has already been stationed to protect the archaeological site, and outsiders cannot enter the construction site at all, which is an advantage that Li Fern and they cannot have no matter how huge their power is.

The archaeology of the hanging coffin has reached the final stage, Lao Lin's absent-mindedness and Professor Zhang's incomparable excitement are in stark contrast, the five caves where the hanging coffin is placed have been cleaned up in two places, the jade has gradually increased, and bronze objects have begun to appear, which is a sign of approaching important tombs, it is normal for Professor Zhang to see progress step by step, but 083 is not archaeological, and I have always been contradictory in my heart. Is it just to use such a Hongshan cultural site to deliberately confuse and cover people's eyes?
