Chapter 608 Great Harvest

  The cherries are delicious, big and fruity, and the four and five are very happy to eat them.

  The others didn't have the intention to try one, but they all had the same idea in their hearts: this little monkey is not very reliable.

   Thinking about it is right, how many reliable monkeys are there?

   Only Liu Qingshan went to another cherry tree, picked a small handful, and threw it into his mouth without washing it:

   "Well, it's delicious, everyone should come and taste it, the cherries here are the best."

   Seeing that only Gu Junshan came up to pick cherries, and no one else made a move, Liu Qingshan laughed again:

  “Work is our duty, but we can’t ignore enjoying life because of it.”

   "Who said that sentence, life is like a journey, you don't have to care about the destination, what you care about is the scenery along the way, and the mood of seeing the scenery."

  Everyone was stunned when they heard it, and then, Professor Yan and Professor Zhou couldn't help but smile, and Professor Zhou shook his head slightly: "It's us who are interested."

  Professor Yan also stepped forward, picked a big cherry and put it in his mouth: "Old Gu, your realm is still higher."

   "I have also experienced life and death, and only then did I realize a little bit of truth. If you want to talk about the realm, it has to be them."

   Gu Gu pointed at the fourth and fifth children, and Professor Yan also felt the same: "Yes, the older you live, the more you care about yourself, and you lose your childlike innocence."

  Those young students still don’t understand the feelings of the old professors, and they have a great time picking cherries.

  It wasn't until the little monkey had had enough of his addiction that he scurried forward again and again, and the large army hurriedly followed.

  This time, everyone's mood has also changed a little, the eagerness has disappeared, and the stroll is like a walk.

  The little monkey and the fourth and fifth children are in front, even more dishonest, grabbing two wild flowers for a while, and chasing butterflies for a while.

  The people behind just looked at them cheerfully.

  He stopped and walked like this, and before he knew it, he walked more than ten miles, and he saw Qingshan Town in front of him.

  There are trees on both sides of the road, so everyone doesn’t feel too hot. I happened to meet a man who was riding a bicycle and carrying a box of popsicles, and went to Jiapigou to sell popsicles. Liu Qingshan bought a lot of them.

   Now there are a lot of small vendors going to Jiapigou to do business. They all know that there is money there, and they sell things very quickly.

   "I think this little monkey is probably thinking about going to the supply and marketing cooperative in the town to buy food."

  Gu Junshan had a popsicle in his mouth, which he never dared to eat before.

  Xiaobai also holds a popsicle in his little paw, and licks it decently. Shanxing is also a little worried, and holds the jade cicada again, shaking it in front of its eyes, reminding it again.

  The fourth little one was a little dissatisfied: "Xiaobai, so when we were in school, you sneaked so far to play by yourself, you are really naughty."

  Xiao Bai was smart, seeing that he was about to be scolded, he quickly shook his head, looked around, then squeaked a few times, got off the road, and rushed north.

   Not far away, the Xiaosong River flows by. From here to the riverside, a large area is full of barren meadows.

  This kind of situation is still very common now, and in a few decades, it will basically be cultivated into cultivated land.

  Everyone quickly followed, Professor Yan said while walking:

   "Old Gu Zhou, are we going to make a mistake of being dark under the lights, and run away too far, but ignore the places around the town?"

  Those two also suddenly realized that this is really the case. The scope of their investigation is from Qingshan Town, which is ten miles away, and radiates in all directions.

  The little monkey in front stopped quickly, and there were several small sand traps in front of it.

   There is also some water in the sand pits, and you can see toad seedlings, that is, small black tadpoles, swimming in the water pits.

   At this time, chemical fertilizers were just used, and pesticides were rarely used, so the environment was not damaged so badly.

  Basically, as long as there is a puddle, you can see some aquatic creatures.

   Everyone's spirits were lifted: Could it really be here?

  The arrival of the little monkey also disturbed a few horse snakes basking in the sun beside the sandpit, and rushed into the grass in a panic.

  Ma Snake is the local name for a small lizard-like animal, and its scientific name is Northeast Salamander.

  I saw the little monkey's claws were like lightning, grabbing a horse snake and about to stuff it into its mouth.

   "Xiaobai, throw it away quickly." The fourth child yelled loudly.

  Everyone felt a burst of disappointment again: this little monkey is only thinking about eating.

  Xiao Bai threw the horse snake into the water resentfully, and the little paws were not honest, scratching back and forth on the sand.

  It was probably a little upset in its small eyes, and it grabbed a piece of soil and threw it into the water.

   "Stop!" A loud shout came from above, and I saw Professor Yan slipping directly down the **** of the bunker with an extremely excited expression.

  The little monkey trembled in fright, and the soil clod in its hand fell to the ground. Professor Yan grabbed it and held it up in front of his eyes.

   It turned out that it was not a clod of soil, but pieces of broken soil, a bit like fragments of blue tiles, with a black color.

   "Pottery pieces!" Professor Zhou above also exclaimed, and jumped directly into the sandpit.

  Unexpectedly, he was so excited that his foot tripped over a crack on the edge of the bunker, and his whole body fell forward.

  Although the bunker is not too deep, it is still more than one meter high. Professor Zhou, with his old arms and legs, probably had to fall hard enough.

  Liu Qingshan had already been careful, jumped down first, hugged Professor Zhou, and put him firmly on the ground.

  Professor Zhou didn't care about these things, rushed to Professor Yan's side, squatted there, and picked up the broken pottery fragments from the sand.

   Judging from the color, it should be gray pottery, and the damage is a bit serious, and it is impossible to tell what kind of artifact it is.

   But seeing the zigzag pattern on the edge, Professor Zhou and Professor Yan glanced at each other and nodded together: This kind of pattern is the most representative of the Hongshan Culture pottery.

  The little monkey was so frightened that he ran into the arms of the fourth son, and was being comforted by the little hands of the fourth son and Shan Xing: "Xiaobai is really capable!"

  Liu Qingshan didn't understand the professional knowledge of archaeology, so he didn't get in the way of the professor, but moved to the side of the two little girls, and reached out to touch Xiaobai's hair:

   "Xiaobai has made a great contribution this time, and he will be rewarded a lot."

   With a whoosh, the hairy little paws immediately stretched out in front of Liu Qingshan.

  You are welcome, Liu Qingshan took out a one-dollar banknote from his pocket, and put it on its little paw.

  The little monkey recognized the money, jumped to the ground immediately, and then ran up the road.

   "Professor, the monkey ran away again, should we still chase it?" a student asked.

   "What are you chasing after, this may be a ruins, hurry up and work!" Professor Yan yelled, and everyone took the shovel, and began to carefully spread out around the bunker with the center of the bunker.

   Immediately afterwards, good news came one after another: "Teacher, a layer of rammed earth was found here."

   "Teacher, we found a piece of pottery here, which is relatively complete and should be restored!"

   "Wow, Jade, Jade Pigron!"

  Crack, click, the shutter of the camera sounds from time to time, and these excavated objects all have images.

  The place where this place is located seems to be a tomb. There are quite a lot of things unearthed in it, and it should be the tomb of a very important person in the tribe, otherwise there would not be so many funerary objects.

  For example, the jade cicada found by the little monkey. In the eyes of ancient people, the cicada broke out of the chrysalis, which meant rebirth.

   There is also the jade pig dragon, which is the most typical jade artifact of the Hongshan culture. If you find this, you must not run away.

  A wave of excitement infected every member of the archaeological team, and they all devoted themselves to the excavation work under the scorching sun.

  For them, this sense of accomplishment cannot be replaced by money or anything else.

   "Old Zhou, Lao Yan, let everyone rest and drink water first. This work cannot be done in a day or two." Gu Junshan wiped the sweat from his forehead, half of his sleeves were already soaked in sweat.

  The fabric of Dacron is cooler in summer, but it does not absorb sweat.

  This side is only tens of meters away from the road. Everyone came to enjoy the shade under the shade of a tree by the side of the road. Everyone looked excited and discussed enthusiastically.

   In recent decades, thousands of Hongshan culture sites have been discovered, but only a few places are really valuable.

  In terms of geographical location, they are all west of here. Unexpectedly, they extend all the way to this side.

   Judging from the excavation in just two or three hours just now, there have been major gains. This is also called Professor Yan and others, and their confidence has greatly increased.

  At this moment, Professor Zhou is leading a few students to put together the broken clay basin, which has gradually taken shape.

  The pottery basin is reddish-brown, obviously terracotta, and the mouth of the pot is decorated with black patterns, which looks like a simple and simple atmosphere.

   What's even more rare is that there is a fish-shaped pattern on the side, which is also decorated in black.

  Everyone seemed to travel through thousands of years, and saw a group of people returning from fishing by the river, and then the women in the tribe, holding clay pots in both hands, put fresh fish into the pots...

"It's amazing!" Professor Yan exclaimed. Although this fish-shaped decoration looks simple, there is no such complete and vivid painted pottery among the pottery unearthed from the Hongshan Culture. It is not a national treasure. Too much.

Professor Zhou was equally excited: "Old Zhou, maybe this place was the settlement of a large tribe at that time. It seems that we have to apply to the superiors and increase the funds. With just a few of us, we can't finish excavating it in a few years. of."

   Relics like this thousands of years ago, there are basically no traces on the surface. It is necessary to dig up the entire surface, which is a huge amount of work.

  The key point is not to use large-scale machinery, all have to be done by hand, one shovel at a time, and slowly excavated, it is definitely a big project.

   Hire local migrant workers, which is a lot of money.

   And the excavation period, of course, is as short as possible. If it takes too long, someone might think about it and dig secretly.

  Professor Yan thought for a while: "At least you have to apply for a fund of more than 100,000 yuan first. This seems a bit difficult."

  Liu Qingshan, who was next to him, had been listening with his ears open, and interjected in a timely manner: "In terms of funding, our cooperative can provide it!"

   "You boy, you are not honest at all, did you have some crooked thoughts?" Gu Junshan smiled and pointed at him.

  Liu Qingshan chuckled twice: "It's nothing, I just want to build another museum here."

   Sure enough, Professor Yan and Professor Zhou also had smiles in their eyes, and they could basically guess what Liu Qingshan was thinking from the Dinosaur Fossil Museum.

   After thinking about it, Professor Yan said: "This kind of thing is not something we can make the final decision on, and we only have the right to make suggestions."

   "That's good. For the rest, I'll ask people to do some activities." Liu Qingshan was overjoyed at the moment. As long as the two professors are willing to take the lead, it's basically the same.

   Some checkpoints, called Xiaowu or Yu Guangming, they should be able to settle.

  The matter was decided verbally, and later, Professor Yan and the others had to call to report, submit written materials, and so on.

   After replenishing the water, everyone continued to work vigorously. Liu Qingshan couldn't help here, so he simply went to the town and went to the wild vegetable factory to arrange meals.

  This kind of great discovery is of course a great joy and must be celebrated.

   In addition, I will also go to Secretary Sun to discuss the issue of hiring manpower.

  Now is the slack season for farming, so hiring people should not be a problem.

   So Liu Qingshan led the fourth and fifth children to set off, which is only four or five miles away from the commune.

   I saw the little monkey running back head-on, and there seemed to be something in its little paws.

   When I ran closer to have a look, it turned out to be a few meat skewers, this little guy still had a skewer in his mouth.

  Xiaobai was not too sloppy, he shared a meat skewer with the fourth and fifth, and then there was only one left on the little paw, so he just licked it into his own mouth. It seemed that he didn't intend to give it to Liu Qingshan at all.

   "I'll give you the money you lost." Liu Qingshan poked it on the forehead.

  But this little monkey is quite capable, and he knows how to buy things with money.

  There is only one family that sells meat skewers in the town, and the boss is Liu Qingshan’s classmate. They probably know Xiaobai, so they gave two more skewers.

  Liu Qingshan went to the commune first, met Secretary Sun Hongtao, and explained the situation. Secretary Sun was also very happy and supported Liu Qingshan's proposal very much.

   "Secretary Sun, everyone has been promoted, why are you still hanging around here?" After talking about the business, Liu Qingshan joked.

  Secretary Sun glared at him: "Where can we move it, can we have it here?"

   This is true, Liu Qingshan gave him a thumbs up: "You still have a long-term vision, and you are planning to be the emperor here forever."

  In the past few years, Qingshan Town has become the richest and most famous town in Bishui County with the help of the east wind from Jiapigou. The higher authorities have long wanted to promote Secretary Sun, but he declined them all.

   At this time, the rotation system has not yet been implemented for leading cadres, and there are not a few of them who have worked for decades.

  Liu Qingshan came out of the commune compound and went to the wild vegetable factory. Considering the hot weather, he didn't make too many hot vegetables. However, considering that everyone must have had a lot of physical exertion throughout the morning, they still stewed a wild goose.

  It was noon, and there happened to be a large truck pulling goods at the wild vegetable factory. Liu Qingshan took the convenience car and asked the driver to drive over to pull people.

  Originally he was going to lead the way, but the fourth and fifth took over the job, so Liu Qingshan simply rested at the wild vegetable factory.

   Not long after, the big truck drove back to the courtyard. Professor Yan and the others were carefully moving things down from the truck.

  In addition to the unearthed pottery and jade, there are also several sharp stone objects.

  Liu Qingshan also went up to help move things. Two students in the car carried a cardboard box and handed it to Liu Qingshan who was responding below. They also told: "Be careful, handle it with care."

   "Don't worry, I'm also an antique dealer, but I'm not as old as you." Liu Qingshan said in his mouth, raised his hand to catch the cardboard box firmly, and then slowly lowered his arm.

  When the height of the cardboard box fell to his chest, he glanced into the cardboard box, then exclaimed, shook his hands, and the contents inside rolled down to the ground.

   That thing is a female head!
