"Since everything is ready, let's not waste any more time. While it's still early, let's go over there and take a look at the situation."
Cao Yunzhi naturally agreed. They had traveled all the way here by car and just wanted to find out about the cultural relics as soon as possible.
"Let's go without further ado."
Just as Xie Yanbei was about to lead the way, the team leader spoke with concern:
"Comrades, I know your work is important, but the weather is cold now, and you've come all the way here. Why don't you eat something and warm up first? Those things are already there, and with so many people guarding them, they can't be lost."
The villagers were enthusiastic and followed suit.
"Yeah, I came all the way here and I didn't even have time to drink water. Man is made of iron and food is made of steel, so I have to eat at least a bite of food."
Cao Yunzhi was anxious and looked at Dr. Jiang who was leading the team.
Dr. Jiang waved his hand and said, "We appreciate your kindness, but these cultural relics are very important to us. Once they are all properly placed, I will definitely have dinner with everyone."
Seeing their firm attitude, the villagers could no longer stop them.
It was a very cold day, but the whole archaeological team was beaming with joy.
It has been a long time since new Yuan celadon appeared in China, and everyone wants to see it.
All the necessary tools were taken down from the car. Because we had to go up the mountain, the truck was not very convenient and could only go halfway up the mountain.
Ji Qingzhou and Ji Qingwan led the way, followed closely by Xie Yanbei and Shen Huaizhi.
Along the way, the group was closely observing the terrain.
"This place is quite remote, and no one usually comes here. No wonder this priest pit has been here for so long without anyone discovering it."
Ji Qingzhou and Ji Qingwan had already made marks beforehand.
"According to a rough estimate, there should be three sacrificial pits here, but only one has been stolen so far. The military has recovered it. The locations of the other two can be roughly determined, but the specific contents inside are still unknown. We must be very careful when excavating."
This is not the tomb of any celebrity, it is just very old. These exquisite porcelains and cultural relics have been buried underground for so many years. I wonder how many people will be shocked when they see the light of day again.
After crossing the back mountain, we finally arrived at the marked location.
The pit was dug open and there were traces of someone digging. Although Cao Yunzhi was heartbroken, she was more relieved.
Dr. Jiang was the first to jump into the pit. Everyone was very cautious, fearing that they would cause secondary damage to the cultural relics.
Ji Qingzhou was about to go down, but Xie Yanbei grabbed her arm and said, "Your leg is injured, be careful."
Looking at the interaction between the two people, Shen Huaizhi just felt that he couldn't bear to watch it.
The Yuan celadon was intact, and Dr. Jiang could tell at a glance that the official seal on the bottom of the bottle was not fake.
All his life's learning came in handy at this moment.
The moment his hand touched the bottle, Dr. Jiang's eyes were red.
"It's Yuan celadon, it's really Yuan celadon!"
The craftsmanship of Yuan celadon has disappeared, and there is only one piece in China at present. The advent of these two Yuan celadon bottles will undoubtedly cause a sensation.
"There are also some Tang Sancai porcelains below. These porcelains have been lost for a long time. It is difficult for current craftsmanship to reach the pinnacle of that time!"
Cao Yunzhi knelt on one knee on the ground, took off her bag, took out a small brush from the bag, and carefully brushed the dirt off the cultural relics.
Pieces of exquisite porcelain were dug out from the ground. Although these things cannot speak, they silently tell the long history of our country.
"What beautiful cultural relics! I have no regrets in my life because I can see them with my own eyes."
The members of the archaeological team are very sensitive. With just one glance, they seem to have empathy with the cultural relics.
Everyone worked hard and the No. 1 sacrificial pit was cleaned up. As expected, there were more than 200 cultural relics of various sizes. Everyone worked day and night.
Dr. Jiang wiped his tears with his sleeve and said, "I thought this was the only Yuan celadon in China."
In addition to gold, silver and porcelain, there are also classical books, musical instruments, clothing, and seeds buried in jars.
Ji Qingzhou and Ji Qingwan looked at each other. Fortunately, such an important thing was saved.
Otherwise, if it falls into the hands of those people, who knows what kind of disaster it will be for the country's culture.
Because the workload was heavy and it was impossible to complete the archaeological task in a short period of time, Xie Yanbei and Shen Huaizhi led the team to set up tents nearby.
Each member of the archaeological team is more stubborn than the other, and they wish they could devote themselves to their work 24 hours a day.
After all, Ji Qingzhou and Ji Qingwan are not professionals, so they can only help from the side.
The villagers also expected that they would not leave. It was cold at night and no one brought dry food when they came, so everyone spontaneously brought quilts and food.
By evening, it was already dark and there seemed to be a light in the distance, approaching them little by little.
Xie Yanbei and Shen Huaizhi glanced at each other, and both teams immediately became alert.
The little bit of firelight came from far away and gradually got closer. When they finally saw the person coming, Xie Yanbei waved his hand and everyone let down their guard.
"Village chief, why are you here?"
The village chief is old, and the mountain road is difficult to walk on. It has snowed and the road is slippery, and visibility is poor at night.
The village chief took the lead, followed by several production team leaders.
Everyone spontaneously formed a team with various supplies in their hands.
"The conditions here aren't as good as in the village. We're in the middle of nowhere, and we're worried you won't have enough to eat. These are experts from Kyoto, so we can't slack off. The villagers have discussed it and decided to bring the food up to you."
Everyone looked over.
The simplicity of the country people was verified at this moment.
Seeing that the archaeological workers were still working, the kind villagers began to distribute hot water.
"It's so cold, take a break first. It's been half a day, even a strong body can't stand it."
Everyone was having a great time, and the archaeological team finally decided to sit down and take a break.
Cao Yunzhi looked at the undeveloped back mountain and couldn't estimate how many things were buried underground.
"Auntie, you've been tired for a long time, drink some water."
Looking at Cao Yunzhi sitting on the ground, Xie Yanbei hesitated and looked at the water in his hand, then poured a glass and handed it to her.
Cao Yunzhi raised her head and saw Xie Yanbei being humble and orderly.
He lowered his head slightly, but his back was straight. His eyes were sharp like a soldier, but they did not make people feel afraid.
Even though Ji Qingzhou had not had the time to formally introduce herself, she had heard a lot of rumors along the way.
In addition, Xie Yanbei and Ji Qingzhou had been interacting secretly for the past half day. As someone who had experienced this, she naturally understood what was going on.
Cao Yunzhi took the water from Xie Yanbei and nodded.
"It seems my daughter has good taste."
She had heard about Xie Yanbei's situation.
