Chapter 226: Why Don't You Let Him Go
The meeting site was so quiet that I was afraid that I could hear the sound of needles hitting the ground, and the good archaeological excavation work suddenly evolved into the current situation, which was really unexpected by everyone. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Professor Xia looked at the team members with complicated faces below, and felt a little uncomfortable, but his raised hand did not waver in the slightest because of the fluctuations in his heart.
However, his lone hand did not receive any response.
Everyone is hesitating and watching, and the more no one responds, the more no one dares to respond.
Time is passing by minute and second......
After waiting for about five minutes, Professor Xia's heart was cold.
He thought that so many team members who were full of enthusiasm for archaeology would always choose to fight with him with the same curiosity about unknown civilizations and dedication to archaeological work, but the fact is that no one wants to stay, no one!
If this is the case, this archaeological work will come to a standstill, this place will be mothballed, I don't know when the excavation will continue, even if it is excavated again, there will basically be nothing to Professor Xia and him.
Professor Xia didn't care about the negative impact of this failed operation on his reputation in the archaeological community, but the point was to watch a great archaeological discovery pass by him, a feeling that ordinary people can't experience.
Just when Professor Xia sighed secretly and was about to put down his hand, a voice sounded.
"I'll stay!"
It's not loud, but it's enough to make everyone look at it in the quiet scene.
It's him?
Professor Xia's eyes narrowed, he never thought that the first person to stand up and support him would be the middle school student he brought!
Professor Xia smiled, smiled very happily, and whether the final excavation could continue or not, he felt that he had no regrets about this trip. This is a kind of relief to discover that my way is not lonely, and it is also because of the joy of discovering that there are successors in the Chinese archaeological community.
Huang Shengli, who was standing not far from Jiang Shi, looked at Jiang Shi with some astonishment, in fact, although he didn't raise his hand, as long as this archaeological activity was not over, he wouldn't just leave, but when Professor Xia raised his hand just now, he naturally didn't count himself, he didn't expect that he could also raise his hand to show support, and he was suddenly preempted by Jiang Shi.
Jiang Shi didn't have any idea of being in the limelight, he raised his hand really just to show his support to Professor Xia. Moreover, for him, there is nothing to be afraid of staying, and to others, the biting yin qi is like a warm spring breeze.
However, his actions made many people present feel guilty, even a high school student was willing to take risks for the cause of archaeology, and those of them who had participated in archaeological work for so many years were still afraid! In fact, since they first participated in the archaeological excavation, they were told by their predecessors that archaeological excavations are risky, and everyone must be mentally prepared to bear risks, but the real danger is in front of them, but they retreated shamefully, and actually watched their captain face it alone and did not dare to stand up, but needed a middle school student who had not yet started to step forward!
"I'll stay too!" said a member of the team who looked to be about the same age as Professor Xia stood up and raised his right hand, he was the veteran of Professor Xia's team, and he participated in many of Professor Xia's archaeological discoveries, but the more veteran he was, the more ashamed he was in this situation.
"And me!" Another person stood up, this was one of Professor Xia's institutes, a young man in his twenties, with strong blood and strong cheeks, his cheeks were a little red, I don't know whether he was excited or ashamed.
"And me!"
"And me!"
More and more members of the archaeological team stood up, and although more people still sat still, Professor Xia's eyes were still hot.
Being able to stand up so resolutely in the face of unknown dangers, even if he hesitated before standing up, this has already moved Professor Xia very much.
Those who can stand up now are definitely the backbone of Professor Xia's team, as long as they still insist, this archaeological excavation work will definitely be able to persist even if it is difficult!
Professor Xia pressed his hand and motioned for everyone to put their hands down, and then calmed down and said, "The person who raised his hand just now will stay for a while, and the others will go back to pack their things first, and arrange for you to go back tomorrow!"
After a while, there were only a dozen or so people left in the big tent.
Professor Xia waved his hand and said, "Xiao Jiang, Xiao Huang, you guys come and sit too!"
Jiang Shi was not polite when he heard this, walked straight to the front, and casually found a Mazha to sit down.
After Professor Xia waited for Huang Shengli to sit down, he looked around at the rest of the people, and said in a deep voice: "Thank you for supporting me and supporting this mission in such a situation!" But there are some things I still want to emphasize, this mission is really very dangerous, I Xia Weimin has been doing archaeology for so many years, and the ancient tombs I have been under are not one or two, and I have never encountered any strange things, but it is really the first time that such an earth-shattering scene has appeared after breaking a wall this time, and the hidden dangers can be imagined! ”
When everyone heard this, they all showed solemn expressions.
Professor Xia then said: "I welcome and am very touched by your willingness to stay! But at the same time, I am a little reluctant to let you go into danger with me, so I want to remind you again, think about it again, don't make a hasty decision, if you want to give up, you will leave with others tomorrow! Xiao Huang, I have been watching your performance these days, you are still studying, this is not suitable for you, you should go with others tomorrow!"
"No!" Huang Shengli didn't expect Professor Xia to let him leave by name, so he stood up and protested, "I'm not leaving!
Professor Xia smiled with satisfaction and said: "You are still young now, your task is to study hard, there will be many opportunities like this in the future, although this discovery will push the entire history of mankind forward by many years, but I believe that with the discovery of the relics of ancient civilization this time, there will be more relics in the future, and then it will be the stage for you young people!"
Huang Shengli couldn't listen to Professor Xia's words of relief at all, he had an important task to participate in the archaeological activities this time, how could he leave easily until the last moment.
So, he raised his hand and pointed at Jiang Shi, who was sitting in front of him, and asked loudly: "He is also a student, younger than me, why just let me go and not let him go?"
