After a long while, Li Rongrong said a little embarrassedly: "Fusu, don't say that. I am also very happy to be with you."
The two smiled at each other, and the tacit understanding and sweetness seemed to reach its peak at this moment.
Although his ears were red, Fusu was able to hold her hand naturally.
Li Rongrong also held Fusu's hand tightly, as if she wanted to convey all her emotions to him.
"Rongrong, do you know? In the era when I lived, although women could open independent female households, most of them usually lived with men."
"But you are different. You have your own pursuits and ideals. You are brave, independent and strong." Fusu's voice was low and affectionate.
After hearing this, Li Rongrong felt a warm current in her heart. She raised her head and looked at Fusu firmly. "Fusu, I always believe that no matter what era, women should have their own independence and dignity."
Fusu nodded slightly, his eyes flashing with appreciation and admiration.
The two of them were affectionate for a while. It was getting late. Li Rongrong had to go to the archaeological site tomorrow morning, so she didn't stay long and quickly returned to her room.
Have a good night.
...
...
The next morning, sunlight shone through the gap in the curtains. Li Rongrong got up quietly, packed her clothes, and drove out.
Li Rongrong did not take Fusu to the excavation site of Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum, except for the reason that only archaeological professionals could go there.
Also, it was a bit weird to dig up Fusu's father's grave in front of him.
Fusu also had no intention of going with her. Modern knowledge was as vast as the stars, and he needed to constantly absorb useful knowledge.
He had a premonition that when he returned to Daqin, these things would be the cornerstones for building his huge Qin Empire.
After arriving at the scene, Li Rongrong discovered that in addition to her teacher Yang Laowai, her senior brother Lu Jingzhou was also present.
He still maintains his uninhibited temperament, but his eyes reveal his seriousness and steadiness in archaeology.
"Rongrong, you're here!"
Mr. Yang's voice came from the crowd. He was wearing an old archaeological suit, with a kind smile on his face and his eyes flashing with infinite love for the archaeological cause.
"Good morning, Teacher Yang!" Li Rongrong responded with a smile and walked towards Teacher Yang.
"We have made a new discovery this time. I think you will be interested." Old Yang said, pointing to an area not far away. "Look, that's the part we excavated yesterday. There may be important cultural relics hidden in it."
Li Rongrong looked in the direction of Yang Lao's finger and saw some pottery fragments and some metallic luster on a piece of carefully excavated soil. She was excited and immediately took out her notebook and pen to record every detail.
"Rongrong, you're here just in time. I was just about to discuss these findings with you."
Senior Brother Lu Jingzhou's voice came from behind. He was wearing a loose archaeological suit and holding a brush in his hand, carefully cleaning an unearthed cultural relic.
"Good morning, senior brother!" Li Rongrong turned around and greeted Lu Jingzhou with a smile.
"Look at this artifact. Its shape and decoration are different from what we have found before."
Lu Jingzhou pointed at the artifact in his hand and said, "I guess it is related to a certain ritual during the Qin Shihuang period."
Li Rongrong carefully observed the cultural relic. It was indeed unique. Both its shape and patterns revealed a mysterious atmosphere.
She nodded, indicating that she agreed with Lu Jingzhou's opinion.
"Rongrong, look at this again." Lu Jingzhou suddenly pointed at a stone tablet and said, "There are some words engraved on this stone tablet. Although it is a bit blurry, it seems to be related to a certain system during the Qin Shihuang period."
Li Rongrong immediately came forward and carefully observed the words on the stone tablet. She found that these words were indeed related to a certain system during the Qin Shihuang period, and were probably closely linked to Qin Shihuang's ruling ideology.
"This is an important discovery!" Li Rongrong said excitedly, "We can combine it with other documents and archaeological discoveries to conduct more in-depth research on this stone tablet."
After hearing what Li Rongrong said, Mr. Yang and Lu Jingzhou both smiled with satisfaction.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, they started to work on their own.
The new discoveries in Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum seem to be related to sacrifices.
Li Rongrong was thinking when suddenly something very familiar came into her sight.
Her eyes were fixed on the familiar object, and her heart beat faster involuntarily.
It was a fragment half covered by mud, and the vaguely visible pattern on it was exactly the same as the black dragon entwined pattern on the mysterious bronze mirror in her home.
This sudden discovery shocked and excited her, as if a bolt of lightning had cut through the fog of doubts that had lasted for so long.
She approached cautiously, afraid that her movements would destroy the fragile clue.
Li Rongrong slowly squatted down and gently brushed away the dust covering the fragments with a brush. The pattern of the entangled black dragon gradually became clear, perfectly matching the pattern on the bronze mirror at home in her memory.
Li Rongrong's heart beat faster as she realized that these discoveries might not just be coincidences, but key clues to unlocking the secret of the mysterious bronze mirror.
She took a deep breath, tried to keep herself calm, then gently picked up the small shovel and soft-bristle brush next to her and began to clean the surrounding soil more carefully.
As the soil was removed bit by bit, more fragments were revealed, some of which had traces of rotten silk threads or cloth attached to them, as if these fragments were originally part of a larger fabric or decoration.
Li Rongrong secretly speculated that these might be related to some kind of clothing or ritual items used in ancient sacrifices.
At this moment, her eyes were attracted by another place - not far away, among a pile of seemingly messy bamboo slips, some inscriptions could be vaguely seen on a few relatively complete bamboo slips.
Although these characters have gone through thousands of years of wind and rain, some strokes can still be recognized, revealing a simple and solemn atmosphere.
"Teacher Yang, Senior Brother Lu, come and see!" Li Rongrong couldn't suppress her inner excitement and called out to her colleagues softly.
Old Yang and Lu Jingzhou rushed over upon hearing the noise, and when they saw the bamboo slips, a hint of surprise and curiosity flashed in their eyes.
Lu Jingzhou quickly took out the professional bamboo slips protective paper and fixing tools from the tool box, carefully took out the bamboo slips one by one and kept them properly to prevent further damage.
"The contents recorded on these bamboo slips are likely to be related to sacrificial rituals or even secrets related to the royal family." Elder Yang pondered, his tone showing both expectation and caution. "We need to take them back to the laboratory for professional cleaning and interpretation."
