Old Dai was slightly surprised, but didn't ask any further questions.
He simply said kindly, "Please accept my condolences, and try to look forward."
You are still young, and you have a long life ahead of you.
Live a good life from now on, and your grandfather can rest in peace in the afterlife.
Guan Yuxi smiled slightly and thanked him for his kindness.
Fang Yuan wanted to say something, but seeing the sorrow on her face, he swallowed his words.
He turned to Leng Lie and said, "It would be best if you could help us solve this problem."
We can't let you work for free, so the Lord will give you five dollars a day.
What does five yuan mean?
That's equivalent to a monthly salary of 150 yuan, which is almost six times Leng Lie's monthly salary!
Guan Yuxi couldn't help but sigh, "Fang Yuan is really a rich young master."
So generous right off the bat.
Leng Lie also glanced sideways at his money-grubbing wife.
The meaning is obvious: This big oaf is offering money to us, should we take it or not?
Guan Yuxi tugged at his hand and laughed, "Five yuan is too much."
Okay then, I'll cover all your food too.
These days, it's hard to find someone who's naive and rich.
Having finally found one, Guan Yuxi was determined to take full advantage of the opportunity.
Fang Yuan frowned slightly, as if he was somewhat troubled.
Guan Yuxi saw through his thoughts at a glance and added, "You can eat meat if you want."
I wouldn't dare say my skills are the best, but in Lengjiagou, if I say I'm second, no one would dare claim to be first.
However, you'll have to send someone to buy the meat themselves, to help me prepare it, and to taste it.
She patted her chest and guaranteed it.
She also gave Leng Lie a meaningful look.
Leng Lie: "......"
The wife has been bragging about everything.
He had no choice but to nod in agreement.
The more Dai Lao looked at Guan Yuxi, the more interesting he found her.
Frank and unpretentious.
They love money, but they know how to keep it within limits.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Xiao Guan."
Xiao Fang, don't forget to calculate their service fee too.
Fang Yuan nodded expressionlessly.
Guan Yuxi excitedly grabbed Leng Lie's hand, "Brother Lie, I have something to do now!"
Seeing her so happy, like a child, Old Dai couldn't help but smile.
Just then, a loud bang was heard.
Another section of the ground where they were standing collapsed.
Old Dai's expression changed, and he ran in that direction.
Fang Yuan held him tightly, "Teacher, we can't go over there yet."
Guan Yuxi also urged, "Please wait a moment, sir. It would be too dangerous for you to go over there now if it were to collapse again!"
Old Dai looked grim and sighed, "That place is exactly where the bronze artifacts and coffin were found."
Those things are all works of art with great historical research value!
After waiting a while longer, there was still no further movement.
Fang Yuan then directed people to dig.
Old Master Dai wanted to take the lead himself, but Guan Yuxi persuaded him against it.
"You should stay here and take command."
My man's fighting power is probably several times that of you.
Besides, what if something happens to you? How will they continue operating?
Perhaps because of his high position and power, he hadn't been criticized so bluntly in a long time.
Old Dai was somewhat embarrassed, but she left him speechless.
Fang Yuan had never seen his teacher suffer a setback before, and couldn't help but feel a little schadenfreude.
Even his impression of Guan Yuxi has changed quite a bit.
A short while later.
A bronze tripod and a half-person-tall Chinese parasol tree were carefully unearthed.
"The Bronze Divine Tree?"
This is absolutely the largest surviving bronze sacred tree in the world!
Old Dai exclaimed excitedly, then looked heartbroken, "It's a pity it broke."
Not only was it broken into pieces, but many branches were also oxidized, making it impossible to repair.
"What a pity."
"If only I had found it sooner."
Old Dai excitedly put on his gloves and gently stroked the bronze sacred tree.
Tears welled up in the corners of her eyes.
Guan Yuxi carefully examined the tree trunk, then looked at the bronze cauldron, and said:
"The body of the tripod is square, decorated with taotie patterns, and the inscription on the sacred tree is the name of a tribe in oracle bone script."
It should be an artifact from the Shang Dynasty.
Even if you were born a thousand years earlier, it wouldn't matter, so don't dwell on it..."
Before she could finish speaking, she noticed that everyone was staring intently at her.
He paused for a moment, then asked, "Is there something wrong with what I said?"
Those are indeed the oracle bone script characters for "Su." The Su clan was a major tribe in the Shang Dynasty, the maternal clan of Su Daji!
Old Dai was so excited he couldn't speak.
Fang Yuan asked first, "You know oracle bone script and can also identify bronze artifacts?"
Guan Yuxi nodded.
Only then did they belatedly realize that everyone was surprised by this.
She said with some regret, "When I was a child, my family had many books on this subject."
I love watching this when I'm bored, but unfortunately...
In the last two years of that decade, someone still managed to exploit a loophole.
While Grandpa Guan was out, they rushed into the house and set it on fire.
Grandpa Guan's life's work was reduced to ashes.
"Excellent! Truly, a hero's origins are irrelevant!"
Grandpa Dai's gaze towards Guan Yuxi softened considerably.
"Xiao Guan, how many oracle bone characters do you recognize?"
Guan Yuxi thought about it carefully and said uncertainly, "There are probably only a little over a thousand."
He paused for a moment and then explained, "I mainly learned from the 'Shuowen Jiezi' (a dictionary of Chinese characters)."
I've also read some of *Tieyun Canggui* and *Oracle Bone Script Dictionary*.
Grandpa Dai nodded with satisfaction, "Amazing! Did your grandfather teach you all of that?"
May I ask what your grandfather's name is?
Guan Yuxi sighed, "My grandfather doesn't recognize him."
