Qi Xiangzhou's work was very efficient. In the afternoon, two people from the Archaeological Research Institute took a dozen migrant workers and took a bus to Kaoshan Village. The group carried a lot of things and walked through the village to the archaeological team camp.
.
The prefabricated house could not accommodate so many people, but fortunately the weather had warmed up, so they set up a few more military tents in the yard.
Moving things, arranging accommodation, and cleaning, the archaeological team camp suddenly became more lively than ever.
It was already dusk when Chen Yuankai came to see Lu Wuchuan. The slanting sunlight cast a warm color on his body, but it could not dispel the sadness between his brows.
"Captain Lu, Wu Mengyao told me that she has been in poor physical and mental condition recently, and is facing graduation. She is under too much pressure and wants to quit the archaeological team."
Lu Wuchuan looked away from the busy crowd in the yard: "As long as the archaeological team agrees, we have no objection."
"Okay, I'll arrange for her to go back tomorrow." After Chen Yuankai finished speaking, he hesitated for a moment and asked, "Yang Anning... what will happen next?"
"Stay in Qinghe City for the time being." The answer given by Lu Wuchuan was very vague.
Chen Yuankai knew it would be inconvenient to ask any more questions, so he sighed: "Everyone was in high spirits when they came out. I didn't expect such a thing to happen."
Lu Wuchuan could see his frustration, but he did not say anything to comfort him. He only said that things are unpredictable and no one knows what will happen next moment.
…
The excavation work of the ancient tomb finally resumed after being stagnant for several days. Early in the morning, the archaeological site became lively. Qi Xiangzhou assigned the task of launching a mission. Twenty or thirty people took their tools and started working one after another.
The new migrant workers were obviously not novices, and they didn't need anyone to teach them. They started picking up pickaxes and digging holes on their own initiative, and they were very busy.
During the break, Fang Nuo took the time to explain to Duan Mo that there was heavy rain in the mountains and forests, and they had passed through hundreds or thousands of years. The silt was very thick, and all the silt and clay had to be dug out to reach the cultural layer. The strata here are also very complicated.
, often after digging an ash pit, you find another ash pit underneath.
"Based on my experience, this operation will take a long time." Fang Nuo was there, as if she had a lot of experience.
Duan Mo imagined repeating this kind of digging holes and digging soil every day, and couldn't help but ask: "Would this kind of long-term work be boring?"
"This is a process of staying away from the hustle and bustle of the city and realizing self-precipitation. I dig soil during the day and organize materials at night. It is simple but fulfilling. I am still very happy when I am free to brag and play cards." Fang Nuo waved the shovel in his hand.
, "Sisters are going to work hard. You just have to play by yourself!"
"Go quickly, don't delay digging for treasures." Duanmo smiled and waved the people away, and walked towards Tanfang to the east.
A circular hole had been dug out on the edge of Tanfang. Qi Xiangzhou went into battle in person, sweating profusely and full of energy. Lu Wuchuan stood beside Tanfang and looked at it seriously. He felt a shadow move over and turned his head. The little girl was already beside him.
Stopped.
"Isn't there a mistake, this hole is too small?" The widest part of the hole is only about half a meter, and Duanmo felt that it would be difficult for her to get in, let alone an adult man.
Lu Wuchuan did not comment, but Qi Xiangzhou slammed the shovel on the ground and said, "The soil here is difficult to dig, so we can only do it bit by bit."
Duan Mo glanced at Bao Sheng, who was squatting on the other side of Tan Fang. He was so big that one leg would be full.
It was almost noon when Chen Yuankai sent Wu Mengyao away and rushed to the mountain. He looked at the burglar cave and the few people around him, his brows wrinkled again unconsciously, and he asked in confusion: "What's wrong with this cave?"
"I want to go down and see what's inside." Lu Wuchuan replied.
Chen Yuankai didn't ask any more questions, but the Sichuan pattern between his eyebrows became more obvious. It is said that Yang Anning was taken away by the Qinghe City police, and everyone thought he was the murderer. Why would he want to study this hole now?
He went down to Tanfangli and worked with Qi Xiangzhou to clean up the entrance of the cave.
When it was almost twelve o'clock, Luo Erdan and a fat lady delivered lunch to the scene.
There were too many people in the archaeological team, and Luo Erdan was too busy. Qi Xiangzhou picked two aunts who knew how to cook among the new people to help, and the fat aunt was one of them.
While eating, Fang Nuo stood next to Duan Mo and whispered in her ear when others were not paying attention: "My classmate sent me a message back. She asked someone to ask around. Yang Anning and Li Yitong had done research in the same group before.
.Other than that, the two have a normal relationship as classmates, and I haven’t heard of any other interactions.”
Seeing that Duan Mo just nodded, she continued to whisper: "However, I really hope it wasn't him. His family's conditions are not good, and it is not easy for him to study. If his parents knew about this, it would be much more difficult to predict.
So sad."
"Looking at how careless you are, I didn't expect you to be so kind-hearted." Duan Mo tilted his head and looked at the girl next to him. This was the first time he saw her worrying, and it was because of others.
In the afternoon, the entrance to the robber cave was cleared, but who went down became a problem again. Using a flashlight to shine inside, you can see that it starts to narrow down two to three meters, and I don't know what it will be like after that section.
The previous tomb robber confessed that the person who robbed the hole was the one who was dead. He only hit the wall of the tomb and couldn't break it. The same person who wanted to blow up the tomb on New Year's Eve also went down and became a dead man when he came back up. This is also archeology
The reason why the team never sent anyone down.
Bao Sheng's general grid had to get stuck at that narrow spot. Everyone else was vying to get down, including Duan Mo, but they were unanimously rejected. After a dispute, the rope was finally tied to Lu Wuchuan's waist.
The cave was very deep, and more than half of the 20-meter-long rope was let go before it stopped.
Since arriving at the Liancheng City Public Security Bureau, Duanmo has been to the scene, searched for corpses, and caught thieves, but he has never been so nervous as now, with his heart in his throat. He stared closely at the bag in Bao Sheng's hand.
Rope, for fear of another accident happening if I make a mistake.
Time passed by, and after about ten minutes, the rope finally moved, and several people outside the cave hurriedly pulled it out. After a few minutes, Lu Wuchuan finally poked his head out of the cave, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
.
"What's going on below?"
"Lu Jun, are you okay?"
Two urgent voices sounded at the same time, the one in front was Qi Xiangzhou, and the other was Duan Mo.
Lu Wuchuan first glanced at the little girl and said, "I'm fine."
Then he answered Qi Xiangzhou's question: "There is no door, only a wall. The surface is damaged, but only a shallow layer."
Qi Xiangzhou took the rope he had untied and wanted to go down and have a look.
Chen Yuankai quickly stopped: "Lao Qi, let's proceed according to the normal excavation procedures. There is no need to take risks."
