The cherries are delicious, big and have a strong fruity aroma. The fourth and fifth brothers are very happy to eat.

Others didn't have the intention to taste one, and they all had the same thoughts in their hearts: This little monkey is not very reliable.

Think about it, how many reliable monkeys are there?

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

"Well, it's delicious, everyone will try it too. The cherries here are the best."

Seeing that only Gu Junshan came to pick cherries, and no one else touched the trap, Liu Qingshan smiled and said:

"Work is our responsibility, but we cannot ignore the enjoyment of life."

"Who said that, 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 watching the scenery."

Everyone was stunned when they heard this. Then, a smile appeared on the faces of Professor Yan and Professor Zhou. Professor Zhou shook his head slightly: "We are in the face."

Professor Yan also stepped forward, picked a big cherry and put it in his mouth: "Lao Gu, you are still at a high level."

"I also experienced life and death, and then I realized a little bit of truth. To talk about the state, they still have to do it."

Gu Lao pointed at the fourth and fifth brothers, and Professor Yan also felt deeply: "Yes, the older you live, the more you care about it, and you lose your innocent childlike innocence."

Those young students still cannot understand the old professors' mood, so they have a lot of fun picking cherries.

It was not until the little monkey was satisfied that he ran forward again, and the large army hurriedly followed.

This time, everyone's mood also changed a little, and the eagerness disappeared, and it was like taking a walk.

The little monkey and the fourth and fifth brothers were in front of him, and they were even more dishonest. They grabbed two wild flowers and then chased the butterfly.

The people behind were just looking at them happily.

I walked around like this, and before I knew it, I walked more than ten miles and saw Qingshan Town ahead.

There were shade of trees on both sides of the road, so everyone didn't think it was too hot. They happened to meet someone riding a bicycle, carrying a popsicle box, and going to Jiapigou to sell popsicle. Liu Qingshan bought a lot of them.

Nowadays, there are many small vendors who go to Jiapigou to do business. They all know that there is money there and sell things very quickly.

"I think this little monkey is probably thinking about buying food at the supply and marketing cooperative in the town."

Gu Junshan was sucking popsicles in his mouth. He never dared to eat this thing before.

Xiaobai's little claws were also holding a popsicle and licking it as if it was decent. Shan Xing was also a little worried, and she held the jade cicada and swayed in front of it, reminding it again.

The little brother-in-law was a little dissatisfied: "Xiaobai, it turns out that when we were in school, you ran so far to play secretly. You are so naughty."

Xiaobai was so stingy. When he saw that he was about to be scolded, he quickly shook his head, looked around, and then squeaked a few times, then got off the road and rushed towards the north.

Not far away, the little Song River flows by, and from here to the riverside, a large area is filled with a weedland.

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

Everyone hurriedly followed, and Professor Yan said while walking:

"Old Gu Lao Zhou, will we have the problem of darkness under the lights and just ran away, but instead ignored the places around the town?"

The two of them suddenly realized that this was true. Their investigation range was from ten miles away from Qingshan Town to the surrounding area.

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

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

At this time, chemical fertilizers were just used, and pesticides were rarely used, so the environment has not been damaged so severely.

Basically, as long as there are water holes, you can see some aquatic creatures.

Everyone was very energetic: It’s not really here, right?

The arrival of the little monkey also disturbed the several horses and snakes basking in the sun beside the sand pit, and rushed into the grass in panic.

Horse and snake are the local name for a small animal similar to a lizard, and its scientific name is the Northeast Little Salamander.

I saw the little monkey claws like lightning, and grabbed a horse and snake and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Xiaobai, throw it away quickly." Xiao Laosi shouted loudly.

Everyone felt disappointed again: this little monkey was thinking about eating.

Xiaobai threw the horse snake into the water with some reluctance, but his little claws were not honest and he slashed back and forth on the sand.

Its carefulness probably felt a little unhappy, and he grabbed the pieces of soil and kept throwing it into the water.

"Stop!" A loud shout suddenly came from above, and Professor Yan slipped out directly along the slope of the sand pit, looking extremely excited.

The little monkey was so scared that he shivered. The dirt in his hand fell to the ground. Professor Yan grabbed it and then raised it in front of him.

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

"Clay piece!" Professor Zhou above also exclaimed and jumped directly into the sand pit.

Unexpectedly, he was too excited and his feet tripped by a crack on the edge of the sand pit, and his whole body fell forward.

Although the sand pit is not too deep, it is more than one meter high. Professor Zhou, who has old arms and legs, probably has to fall a lot.

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

Professor Zhou didn't care about this and rushed to Professor Yan, squatting there, picking up broken pottery pieces from the sand.

The color should be gray pottery, which is a bit severely damaged, so I can't tell what it is.

However, seeing the zigzag pattern on the edge, Professor Zhou and Professor Yan looked at each other and nodded together: This pattern is the most representative of the pottery of Hongshan culture.

The little monkey was so scared that he rushed into the little old fourth's arms, and was comforted by the little old fourth and Shan Xing's hands: "Xiaobai is so capable!"

Liu Qingshan didn't understand the professional archaeological knowledge, so he didn't get in the way with the professor. Instead, he came to the two little girls and reached out to touch Xiaobai's hair:

"Xiaobai made great contributions this time and received many rewards."

With a whoosh, his furry claws immediately reached in front of Liu Qingshan.

You are welcome. Liu Qingshan took out a dollar banknote from his pocket and put it on his little claws.

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

"Professor, the monkey ran away again, are you still chasing me?" a student asked.

"What else can I chase after? This may be a ruin. Come down and work quickly!" Professor Yan shouted, and everyone took the shovel and began to spread it carefully around with the sand pit as the center.

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

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

"Wow, jade artifact, jade pig dragon!"

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

The place where this place is located seems to be a tomb. There are quite a few unearthed things in it, and it should be a tomb of very high-ranking figures in the tribe, otherwise there would not be so many burial objects.

For example, the jade cicada found by the little monkey means rebirth in the eyes of ancient people.

There is also the Jade Pig Dragon, which is the most typical jade artifact in Hongshan culture. If you find this, you will definitely not run away.

An excitement infected every member of the archaeological team. Everyone was fully committed to the excavation work in the scorching sun.

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

"Lao Zhou, Lao Yan, let everyone take a break and drink a little water. This job cannot be done in a day or two." Gu Junshan wiped the sweat from his forehead, and half of his sleeves on his body had long been soaked in sweat.

This kind of fabric is cooler in summer, but it doesn’t absorb sweat.

This is only a few dozen meters away from the highway. Everyone came to the shade of the trees by the road to enjoy the cool air. Everyone looked excited and discussed enthusiastically.

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

Geographically speaking, it is all west of this place, and I didn’t expect it to continue here.

Judging from the discovery just now, there have been great gains, which is also called Professor Yan and others, and their confidence has increased greatly.

At this moment, Professor Zhou was leading several students to splice the broken pottery basin, which had gradually taken shape.

The pottery basin is reddish-brown, obviously red pottery. The mouth of the basin is decorated with black patterns, and it looks like a quaint atmosphere.

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

It seemed as if everyone had traveled through thousands of years and saw a group of people returning from fishing by the river. Then the women in the tribe held pottery pots in both hands and put a tail of fresh fish into the pot...

"It's amazing!" Professor Yan exclaimed. Although this fish-shaped ornament looks simple, there is no such complete and vivid painted pottery among the pottery unearthed in Hongshan Culture. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a national treasure.

Professor Zhou was also excited: "Old Zhou, this place might be a settlement of a large tribe at that time. It seems that we have to apply to our superiors to increase the funds. We can't find it in a few years alone."

Such remains like thousands of years ago are basically no traces seen on the surface of the ground. The entire surface has to be dug up, and the project volume is too large.

The key is that you can’t use large-scale machinery, you have to use manual work, shovel and shovel slowly, which is definitely a big project.

Hiring local migrant workers is also a lot of money.

Moreover, the shorter the excavation period, the better. If it delays too long, someone will think about it and secretly discover it.

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

Liu Qingshan next to him kept listening with his ears and interrupted in at the right time: "In terms of funding, our cooperative can provide it!"

"You boy, you're not honest at all. Have you ever had any bad thoughts?" Gu Junshan smiled and pointed at him.
