Of course, not everyone can become Lang Qinglin's student. These five students all have something that Lang Qinglin values which Li Buer only found out later.
Following the six people from Lang Qinglin, Li Buer and another villager set up a tent for temporary residence on Lijia Mountain. During the day, they searched for ancient tombs. It didn't take long before they discovered many ancient tombs. pit.
In fact, Lang Qinglin came to Lijiashan because the villagers in Lijiashan often dug out some bronze utensils when working in the fields. However, the villagers at that time did not know that these items were antiques, so they just casually Throw it away, or pick it up and throw it aside as junk.
After Lang Qinglin heard about this, he concluded that there must be an ancient tomb here in Lijiashan, and it was a large ancient tomb. It had a history of at least thousands of years, and was exposed due to the weathering of the earth's surface.
In the end, it turned out that Lang Qinglin's judgment was right. There were ancient tombs everywhere in Lijiashan, but they were not big tombs, but small tombs. Some of these tombs were directly exposed. Some of them are one or two meters deep below the surface, which can be easily found. Moreover, these tombs are gathered together to form a group of ancient tombs, which is where Qin Yu and the others are standing now. cemetery.
In three months, eight people from Lang Qinglin excavated more than 100 ancient tombs like this, and found tens of thousands of bronze utensils unearthed. Lang Qinglin was very happy at that time.
Li Buer remembered that when Lang Qinglin excavated this piece of bronze, he was very excited. He even said that his archaeological discovery this time would definitely shock the entire archaeological world, because he had discovered a mysterious kingdom, a kingdom in history. A kingdom with only a few records.
At that time, Li Buer didn't know what Lang Qinglin meant, and he had no interest in these broken coppers. He didn't understand why people like Lang Qinglin were so excited, but then Li Buer also became excited, because , Lang Qinglin increased his salary.
At first, Li Buer and another villager worked with Lang Qinglin and the others, earning 30 cents a day. But now, Lang Qinglin gave them an increase of 50 cents. At that time, 50 cents could be exchanged for many things at the commune. , Moreover, Lang Qinglin also gave Li Buer and another villager twenty kilograms of food stamps each.
It is said that there must be brave men under heavy rewards. With money and food stamps, Li Buer became more motivated. However, the next work became difficult because Lang Qinglin began to let them survey the entire area. The underground soil condition of Lijiashan is known.
The archaeological equipment at that time was not as advanced as it is now. There was no radar detection, satellite aerial photography, or even soil drilling tools. There was only one very primitive tool, which was a bamboo pole.
There is a shovel at one end of the bamboo pole. Just shovel it down one by one, and then look at the soil underground. This is a very laborious process. Li Buer and others can only dig three holes a day, two people per day. The teams had to take turns working with each other, and they could only make one three-meter-deep hole in one day.
Lang Qinglin did not participate. While Li Buer and the others were digging exploration holes every day, Lang Qinglin was studying the bronze utensils alone in the tent, because it was just ten years of turmoil, and Lang Qinglin was very Clearly, if the superiors were notified of this batch of bronze utensils, they would most likely be destroyed.
Therefore, Lang Qinglin had to rush to study the information conveyed on these bronze vessels before this happened. However, to Lang Qinglin's disappointment, there were no written records on these bronze vessels.
In those days, Lang Qinglin's temper was very bad. At least Li Buer did not dare to touch Lang Qinglin's bad temper, because every time Lang Qinglin came out of the tent, he would lose his temper with them, and everyone would be angry.
Knowing that Lang Qinglin was in a bad mood, he didn't dare to say anything and just worked silently.
What makes Li Buer and others depressed is that they dug many detection holes, but did not get any results. Li Buer didn't know how Lang Qinglin and the others were able to tell whether there were tombs underneath from the color of the soil. Anyway, he
I saw that every time Lang Qinglin passed by a detection hole, he looked at the soil dug out from the detection hole and shook his head in disappointment.
After a month, Li Buer and others tried to dig almost all the detection holes in Lijia Mountain, but still found nothing. However, Lang Qinglin seemed to have discovered something, because Li Buer discovered that he
I haven't seen Lang Qinglin for several days. Except when eating, Lang Qinglin completely locked himself in a tent, and only he could enter that tent, including his five people.
Not even students.
Three days later, Lang Qinglin suddenly called everyone to the tent and announced something, which excited Li Buer and others.
Lang Qinglin told them that he was certain that there was a large tomb underground in Lijiashan, but the tomb was relatively deep, so it could not be detected with a two or three-meter detection hole. The depth of the detection hole must be increased, at least
Reaching a depth of twenty meters.
But the bad news is that Lang Qinglin doesn't know where the tomb is. This means that Li Buer and the others still have to dig holes all over the mountain. If they are lucky, they may dig them out soon.
, if you are not lucky, it may take several months.
Lang Qinglin ordered his five students and Li Buer to continue digging the exploration cave, while he himself left Lijiashan. Lang Qinglin said that he was going to find someone. If this person is here, maybe he can
He quickly determined where the ancient tomb beneath Lijiashan was.
Lang Qinglin's trip didn't last long. Four days later, he returned to Lijiashan with a man in his fifties. After the man arrived in Lijiashan, he wandered around Lijiashan for a week. Finally,
But he confirmed a location, pointed to that area and told Lang Qinglin that the ancient tomb was down here.
Lang Qinglin believed deeply in the words of this man in his fifties, and Lang Qinglin respected this man very much. Li Buer could feel this in this week.
At that moment, Lang Qinglin took Li Buer and the others and began to dig in the area pointed by the man. This digging took ten and a half days to dig out a deep pit of nearly thirty meters.
Until that day appears.
Li Buer clearly remembered that it was a cloudy day with a howling cold wind, and that day it happened to be Li Buer and another student from Lang Qinglin's turn to shovel soil in the pit.
Li Buer and the others divided their labor like this: four people worked in a group, two dug below, and two used hanging ropes to hoist the excavated soil up. Then the next day, the diggers were responsible for lifting, and the hoisters were responsible for lifting the soil.
It was a day off, and the two men who had already had a day's rest went into the pit to dig soil.
The student who went into the pit with Li Buer was the youngest among all the students in Lang Qinglin. He was from the north and was very good at chatting. The two of them chatted in the pit and worked without getting tired.
"Li Buer, you said you are already in your twenties, why are you still single? There is no girl in your village who is willing to marry you? When you and I were as old as you, the baby could walk on the ground."
"Brother Qian, I am a lonely person with no relatives or friends. I grew up eating food from hundreds of families and living in a commune house. Which girl is willing to marry me?" Li Buer said with a sigh. .
Even though it was more than fifty years ago, the requirements for getting married and marrying a wife have actually not changed much over the years. Nowadays, you need a car and a house. It was the same back then, but there was no car at that time.
"I think your boy is not bad looking, but no girl likes you. When the matter with the teacher is over, I will introduce you to a few girls. As long as you are willing to work and can stay hungry, I will like you." .”
"Then thank you, Brother Qian."
Li Buer replied happily, while continuing to dig soil into the ground with the shovel, however, he heard a "Kang Dang" sound, and Li Buer was stunned for a moment, because he could clearly feel that the top of the shovel I hit something hard.
This sound and this feeling are not unfamiliar to him, because in the past few months, when digging those ancient tomb pits, sometimes there would be such a phenomenon when the shovel was shoveled. This was the sound of the shovel hitting bronze.
Li Buer's face showed joy and his expression became excited. After so many days of boring digging, the initial excitement had long been worn away. He stayed in the mountains all day and was very angry with a young man like Li Buer. It was a difficult time for the young man. If it weren't for the large amount of money Lang Qinglin gave him, he would have quit working long ago.
"Brother Qian!"
Li Buer excitedly shouted to his companions, and Brother Qian also looked very excited at the moment, because he also heard the sound of Kangdang before. He knew what it meant better than Li Buer.
"Fu'er, be careful, something might come out from below. Come on, put the shovel away, I'll do it."
Brother Qian walked to the place where Li Buer's shovel was, then squatted down, holding a small shovel, and started to clean up the soil bit by bit with the help of a weak light, while Li Buer cleaned up the soil bit by bit. He put a red flower into the basket, then pulled the rope to signal the person above to pull it up.
This red flower is the way of expression that Li Buer and the others have agreed upon with the people above. Once a red flower is pulled up, it means there is something going on below. After all, at a height of twenty or thirty meters, just by shouting, there is no way for people above to express themselves. You can definitely hear it.
Another very important point is that this is underground. If you shout too loudly, the surrounding soil will collapse due to the sound. Even if they are not buried alive, falling from a height of dozens of meters and hitting someone is not a trivial matter.
We are not afraid of accidents but afraid of mishaps, so we use this insurance method to convey messages to the higher-ups.
"Hey, this is a big guy, Bu'er, come and help me." After digging for a while, Brother Qian fumbled with his hands and said to Li Bu'er.
