Li Buer also squatted down and cleaned the soil underground with Brother Qian. After a while, the two of them looked at each other, their eyes shining brightly.
Because they have already seen a corner of bronze. Although they can't tell what it is yet, judging from the size, it is definitely a big object.
You know, although they have unearthed tens of thousands of bronze vessels in the past few months, they are all small ones, with the largest being only one foot in height or length.
But the current bronze artifact is definitely a big one, because the exposed feet alone are already more than a foot long. As you can imagine, this bronze artifact is definitely larger than any other they excavated.
A piece of bronze should be large.
Moreover, what Li Buer didn't know was that the reason why Brother Qian was so excited was not only because this bronze vessel might be huge, but also because of a very important reason, that is, the emergence of heavy bronze vessels in general.
It means that the owner of the tomb has a good background.
This is why Brother Qian is so excited. They found so many ancient tombs, but they all belong to ordinary people. None of them were found in the aristocratic cemetery. Perhaps, this tomb may be that of a noble of this mysterious kingdom.
, it may even be the tomb of a king.
"Brother, come on, listen to me, dig slowly and clean up the soil bit by bit." Brother Qian's name for Li Bu'er has changed, but Li Bu'er didn't think so much at this time.
After nodding, he began to slowly clean up the soil along this corner.
After a while, the two people pulled up a lot of soil, and the bronze began to reveal its clues. Li Buer and Brother Qian finally recognized what the horn was. It turned out that it was a cow horn.
Because, they have already dug up a cow head.
"Quick, brother, dig along that side and see if there is another horn." After seeing that it was a bull's head, Brother Qian quickly shouted to Li Buer.
"Okay." Li Buer followed the size of the bull's head and pulled the dirt in the direction beside him. Not long after, he touched a bull's horn. At the same time, the basket on the two people's heads was hung again.
Come down.
"The teacher must have given us instructions. I'll go and take a look."
Brother Qian caught the basket. Inside, there was a piece of paper with only one line of words on it: "What did you find?"
"I'll tell the teacher what we discovered here."
Brother Qian took out a pen from his pocket, and after writing the following situation on the paper, he put the paper into the basket and pulled the rope three times. After a while, the basket slowly moved
went up.
"Come on, let's continue."
After doing all this, Brother Qian and Li Buer continued to dig out the bull-head bronze. However, when they completely dug out the bronze, they were both dumbfounded.
"What kind of bronze is this?" Brother Qian took a breath, with a look of deep shock on his face, and Li Buer also looked at the bronze in disbelief. He never knew that bronze could be so beautiful.
.
In the past few months, they had dug up so many bronzes, but to be honest, in Li Buer's eyes, these bronzes were no different from scrap copper and iron. He and another villager often even murmured privately that these people came here.
I came here to dig up some scrap metal. Is it because I have nothing to do and my head hurts?
However, the appearance of the bull-headed bronze in front of him made Li Buer completely change his original idea, because this bronze was so exquisite and shocking.
Although the light in this deep pit is very weak, Li Buer can still see the face of the cow head with this weak light, and it is different from ordinary cow faces. This cow face seems to be very angry.
The bull's eye even made Li Buer tremble in his heart, and he did not dare to look at him.
In addition, on the corner of the cow's head, that is, the horn on Li Buer's side, there is a leg hanging on the horn. This is the leg of a tiger. The entire horn penetrates the tiger's leg.
It was revealed that the tiger was just hanging on the horns of the cow. The tiger's mouth opened wide and it was heading towards the cow's neck, but it was still a little far away from the cow's neck.
"Is this the beating of a cow or a tiger?" Li Buer said tremblingly.
"It should be." Brother Qian also licked his lower lip. The cow's expression and eyes also shocked him greatly.
"Brother, help me, let's get the bottom out. When the teacher and the others put the basket down, we can hang the bronze vessel up."
"good."
Therefore, Li Buer and Li Buer put their hands on the bronze at the same time, preparing to slowly move the position of the bronze. However, what the two of them did not expect was that when their hands touched the bronze, with a strong force, this
The bronze vessel with a bull's head suddenly shattered with a loud roar.
This scene made Li Buer and Brother Qian dumbfounded again. What is going on?
Obviously when they were cleaning the soil around the bronze vessel before, they could feel the hardness of the bronze vessel when they touched it with their hands. Why did the bronze vessel suddenly break with just a slight exertion?
You must know that bronzes are not other funerary objects. Bronze is inherently very strong and not easily broken. There were no such problems in the previous excavations of tens of thousands of bronzes, so this time, Li Buer and this talented man
Would you be so bold as to move the bronze vessel?
"Qian...Brother Qian, what should we do now?" Li Buer looked at Brother Qian and asked with a guilty conscience.
"this……"
Brother Qian is also lost. Although he is a student of Lang Qinglin, in fact, this is the first time he has followed his teacher on an archaeological dig. Apart from some theoretical knowledge, he is no better than Li Buyer.
Where to go.
Now that such a situation occurred, he didn't know what to do. Just when the two of them were dumbfounded, the basket was hung down again. There was still a piece of paper in it. After Brother Qian picked up the paper and read it,
His face was about to cry.
"The teacher asked us to hang this bronze vessel up."
"But now it's all in pieces."
"The pieces are just pieces, they have to be hoisted up."
Li Buer didn't speak anymore, and he and Brother Qian began to carefully put the fragments into the basket. While putting the fragments, Li Buer thought again, what would happen if Teacher Lang saw a pile of fragments?
Not being angry, he just covered it with dirt and buried himself and Brother Qian alive.
At least, Li Buer felt that if it were him, it would definitely be possible to do this. It was a crime for him to have such a beautiful bronze vessel destroyed in his own hands.
The fragments were hoisted up, and Li Buer and Li Buer did not continue to work. They were like two prisoners waiting for the judge to judge, looking up.
Ten minutes later, the hanging basket came down. Li Buer noticed that Brother Qian's expression was very excited. In fact, it would be strange not to be excited, because this time the hanging basket was likely to have criticism from his teacher.
Li Buer also knew about Teacher Lang's temper. He had a fiery temper, and he could get scolded for the slightest mistake, let alone destroying such an exquisite bronze vessel at this moment.
However, Li Buer was glad that only he and Brother Qian had seen this bronze in its original state. As long as they didn't talk about how exquisite and shocking the bronze was, they should be able to receive less scolding.
"Brother, go and see what the teacher said?" The hanging basket arrived in front of the two of them, but Brother Qian asked Li Buer to take a look. Li Buer curled his lips, but still reached into the basket and took it from inside.
Take out the paper.
However, when he picked up the paper, Li Buer was stunned. The next moment, he smiled bitterly and said to Brother Qian: "Brother Qian, I don't know how to read."
"Oh yes, look at me, I forgot."
Brother Qian took the paper and took a look at it. Li Buer paid careful attention to Brother Qian's expression. He found that when Brother Qian looked at the paper, he had an expression of acceptance on his face, but after reading it,
But there was a look of surprise and confusion on his face.
"Brother Qian, what did Teacher Lang write on the paper?" Li Buer couldn't help being curious and asked.
"The teacher asked us to go up now and not to dig any further."
"Ah." Li Bu'er screamed in surprise, but he was muttering in his heart: "Do you want to wait until we go up to criticize us, because you are afraid that we will be scolded below and destroy the other bronzes below in anger?"
"The teacher used three exclamation points at the end. According to the teacher's habit, this is an urgent matter. Brother, you go up first."
Before Li Buer could react, he saw Brother Qian tying the rope around his waist. After tying the knot, he pulled the rope to signal the people above him to pull.
"Exclamation mark, what is an exclamation mark?"
Li Buer was hoisted to the entrance of the cave with a lot of doubts. Even though it was cloudy, after working underground for several hours, it was still too much for him to see the sun again and he had to close his eyes.
When he opened his eyes again, Li Buer was shocked, because as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a face appearing in front of him.
"Lang...Teacher Lang, what are you doing?"
"Where's Qian Dayong? Why didn't he come up?" Lang Qinglin asked Li Buer in a very anxious tone.
"Brother Qian told me to come up first, and he came up later." Li Buer was frightened by Lang Qinglin's tone, and he stuttered in reply.
"Damn it, didn't I let him come up first?" Lang Qinglin turned around and looked at the pit, and said to his two students: "Hurry up and put the rope down."
"Qinglin, don't be too anxious. Maybe things are not as bad as we thought." When Lang Qinglin was furious, the man in his fifties began to persuade him. (To be continued)
