In the courtyard house in Kyoto, Shi Lao hung up his cell phone and walked into the house with a slightly unhappy expression on his face. There were several old people drinking tea in the living room. One of them glanced at Shi Lao and immediately laughed and said, "I told you a long time ago, that boy has been very busy these days. The girl from my family even made an appointment with him, but it turned out I don’t have time. A young person doesn’t know how he can do so many worldly things.”
Shi Yunli came out with a plate of snacks and asked: "Grandpa, grandma asked Li Mo if he can't come over at night. If he comes over, prepare two more of his favorite dishes."
"It would save you some trouble if you don't come." Shi Lao said angrily, "When will your brother come back?"
"I called a few minutes ago. I'll be here around 5:30 in the evening."
"Where's your dad?"
"It should be about the same time, grandpa. You also know that they have a lot of things to do."
"It's rare to take a break and not even go home. I have to wait until dinner time to come over. Bring me the phone and I'll hurry up your dad."
Shi Lao took the phone and stood up and walked outside. After a while, he heard his majestic voice and scolded the other party. Then he walked away without knowing what to say. It took a while before he returned to the house.
"Everyone of them is outrageous."
"Shi Lao, you are already quite old. Take it easy and drink more tea to keep healthy." A slightly fat old man said with a smile, "Just like our family, that brat only has more than ten days a year. When I stayed in Kyoto, I spent the rest of my time messing with those broken stones. As time went by, I figured it out and let him go."
"Mr. Qiu, it's easy for you to say that. Your grandson has made a big splash after all, unlike our family who has accomplished nothing."
The old poet sighed, "Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite."
"Drink tea, drink tea, don't worry about your children and grandchildren, let's live a few more years before we talk about it."
Over in Yunshan, the village director quickly brought eight villagers around 40 years old, and they were paid 300 yuan for digging soil, which was three times better than going out to work odd jobs.
"Mr. Li, everyone is here. Let's see how we start digging. A farmer's most important thing is strength. If you have any requests, just ask."
"Okay, I'll make the arrangements."
Li Mo saw that the tools they brought were quite complete, including shovels, shovels, and burdens for carrying soil. He took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, gave each of them one, and lit it.
These villagers have a great impression of Li Mo. This rich young man is good at doing things. Look at the cigarettes in his hands. Each cigarette is probably worth dozens of yuan. Anyway, they have never seen such a golden package.
"Uncles, dig from here first, with a diameter of six meters, and then dig down to a depth of about three or four meters."
"Okay, leave this little job to us."
A villager blew out a circle of smoke, and happily walked to Li Mo with a shovel, and began to dig up the soil with rough and powerful movements. The other seven people each chose a place, and then slowly joined together.
Seventeen people from the brown bear side have already walked over. They are wearing uniforms and look powerful. They are all practitioners. The villagers who saw this scene were even more convinced that the young man was a super rich man. Otherwise, why would he bring so many bodyguards with him when traveling.
"Boss, do you need us to take action?"
"It's not necessary at the moment. We'll wait until the situation becomes clearer."
Eight people dug the soil, and it took more than two hours to dig three to four meters deep. A deep pit about six meters in diameter appeared in front of everyone. Fortunately, these villagers had experience. They did not dig vertically, but had a certain depth. Slope to make it easier for everyone to get in and out.
"Village director, could you please ask the villagers to cook some meals at the standard of fifty yuan per person. The dishes will be richer, and the payment will be calculated separately."
Seeing that it was almost noon, Li Mo also asked everyone to do something. The village director was happy when he heard that his family could do this job. It was such a simple thing.
"I'll go back and invite everyone to cook. The Spring Festival has just passed, and there are still many delicious meat dishes at home, which will definitely satisfy you."
After Li Mozhi left him, he looked at the bottom of the pit and suddenly shouted: "Okay, everyone, come up first."
"Mr. Li, do you want to continue in the afternoon?"
"No need for the moment. It's more than three meters deep now. I'll check again tomorrow to see if there is water seepage."
After speaking, Li Mo walked toward the village with his hands behind his back. If he dug deeper, he would encounter black pottery, and there were a lot of them. We would wait until Shibin arrived here tomorrow.
The lunch meal was indeed very sumptuous, and there was also home-brewed sweet wine. If Li Mo didn't drink it, no one else would drink it either. After dinner, I chatted with the villagers for an hour or two before returning to the county town. Naturally, I was not stingy before I left. The village director and his family were all smiling.
Before dawn the next day, Li Mo was woken up by the ringing phone on his bedside. He picked it up and quickly connected it.
"Brother Bin, are you here?"
"The old man gave the death order, but I came here overnight. I asked Brother Li, what kind of magic elixir are you selling in this gourd? The old man almost pointed a gun at my head."
"There's still an hour before dawn, so that's it. I'll get up and accompany you to get some buffet to eat first, and I'll talk to you about some things alone."
"Okay, I'll wait for you."
As the sky dawned, Zhao Guangliang came to the hotel again in high spirits. He was now confident. He contacted his superiors alone last night and reported what he saw and heard today, and also expressed his guesses. It is very likely that a cultural site from the late Neolithic Age will appear here in Yunshan. If we go there again today, we will know the final result.
It was obvious that he had some kind of commitment from his leadership.
Sitting in Li Mo's car, Shibin revealed that he looked out of the car window and said, "Yunshan is not a big place, but it is crisscrossed by rivers and ditches. When the flood season comes, this place should be a land of plenty and the scenery should be good. "
"It's a pity that there are no tourism resources here. Otherwise, with such a land of plenty, it would be a bit difficult to revitalize the local economy."
Li Mo turned to look at Shibin and asked in surprise: "Do you still understand economics?"
"Look at the disbelief on your face. To tell you the truth, this is what I majored in at the National Defense University. I was just more interested in firearms, so I later studied for a graduate degree by myself."
Shibin is only in his mid-twenties and is very confident in his professional abilities.
"I don't understand anyway, you can say whatever you want." Li Mo smiled slightly and asked in a low voice, "Have you ever seen the restaurant business?"
"I saw it three times, but then I didn't go. Every time I went, it was always full. I had to wait in line if I wanted to have a meal. But brother Li, I really admire your brain. Those dishes are really good. Eat, the customer satisfaction is not 100%, but it's very close. Take your spiced eggs for example, damn, to be honest, I've never eaten anything that delicious. That guy from San Pang can sell a spiced egg for five yuan. The supply is limited every day, which causes many subsequent diners to complain.”
"Hahaha, this is called hunger marketing."
"I also heard that the third fat man said that you asked him to dig two furnaces in the backyard of the restaurant to prepare roasted pigs?" Gu Kai
"Well, when the weather gets warmer, I believe that the roast pig business can be operated alone. Brother Bin, just wait and make a fortune in the future."
"Well, what's the use of getting rich? I keep a close eye on this old man. I will keep that money for my little sister to use as a dowry in the future. Besides, what do I, a grown man, do with so much money? I can't spend much in a month. . Let’s just talk about you. You are worth billions, but how do you dress any different from an ordinary college student?”
"I just like to be quiet and don't want to be annoyed."
Six cars arrived at Zhouqiao Village at around nine o'clock. The village director had been looking forward to it for a long time. As soon as he saw the cars parked on the side of the road, he hurried over with more than a dozen villagers.
"Good morning, Mr. Li."
"morning."
Li Mo said hello to him, and then walked directly to the pit. Naturally, there would be no water seepage, at least it was still the dry season.
"Mr. Li, everyone is ready. How do you think we will dig today?"
"Don't worry, I'll have someone dig down another meter or two. Brown bear, come here."
The brown bear had been instructed long ago and took a shovel from a villager and entered the pit. He dug down carefully. After about ten times, he paused and looked up at Li Mo.
"What's the matter?"
Li Mo asked deliberately.
"It's a bit hard, like a stone." The brown bear shouted, and then slowly opened the soil with a shovel, revealing a black thing that was shiny in the sunlight.
"Boss, it doesn't look like a stone. Come down and take a look."
The village director was surprised and walked to the bottom of the pit with Li Mo.
"Get out of the way and let me see what it is."
Li Mo used a shovel to carefully clean up the surrounding soil. Most of the black thing was exposed and looked like a big jar. After the entire black pottery pot was taken out of the soil, Li Mo visually determined that the black pottery was about fifty centimeters high, the mouth of the pot was about ten centimeters, and the bottom was about fifteen centimeters. There were two ears near the top of the pot that functioned like handles.
Also, the surface of the entire black pottery pot is not smooth, but has shallow ribs. This seems to be a black pottery pot with a special shape.
The black clay pot was full of soil, but the weight was nothing to Li Mo. He held the clay pot in both hands and came to it. Someone had already brought water and started cleaning the soil on the surface. When the soil on the surface was almost clean, under the sunlight, the entire pottery pot reflected an unspeakable black luster.
The black pottery made more than 4,000 years ago has finally seen the light of day again. It is clumsy and simple, and you can see traces of time on it.
Li Mo was very moved when he saw this scene. Yes, there seemed to be a warm current in his heart. Seeing this black clay pot, he felt like he had returned to prehistory, back to the world more than four thousand years ago, and saw the ancestors using their wisdom to create the most beautiful works of art in the world.
"Why is there a clay pot buried in the ground here?" The village director couldn't help but murmured a few words in a low voice as he watched for a while.
Zhao Guangliang squatted next to Li Mo, suppressing his excitement, and asked in a low voice: "Mr. Li, are you sure now?"
"Well, my preliminary judgment is that this black pottery pot is indeed from the Neolithic Age, and judging from the shape of the pot, it should be used to hold water. Look at this black color, it has a pure beauty, and it has been buried underground for more than four thousand years. It is still a blessing for our descendants to be able to maintain such a good condition and see it come out of the world up close.”
Zhao Guangliang said excitedly: "I will report to my superiors immediately."
"No rush, let's unearth a few more and have a look." Li Mo stood up and nodded towards Shibin. He took out his mobile phone and walked to the side to make a call.
"Brown Bear, carefully clean the soil out of the clay pot. Everyone, protect this place."
Brown Bear waved his hand and saw eighteen bodyguards starting to surround the area, but that didn't stop the villagers from watching. Until now, they still didn't understand what the black jar was.
Li Mo went into the pit himself again, not caring about getting his clothes dirty, with Viper assisting him. Under the perspective of his strange pupils, he carefully dug into the soil next to him with a shovel, and soon came across another one. He threw the shovel aside and slowly cleaned it with the small steel shovel he brought from the county.
Another black clay pot with double-ear buckles was unearthed. Unfortunately, there were cracks on the mouth, but it was not completely broken.
"Venomous snakes, please clean this up separately. Send it up and protect it temporarily until the experts from Kyoto come over."
When Zhang Guangliang heard that he wanted to invite experts from Kyoto, it further showed that the underground was not simple.
Two people were cleaning the pit until noon. A total of twelve black pottery pots with prismatic double-ear buckles, eight ordinary pottery pots, and fourteen black pottery bowls were unearthed. Three of them had been broken into pieces, but the fragments were all there and could be repaired later. .
These thirty-four pieces of black pottery are not all. Only one-third of the pit with a diameter of six meters has been cleared, and there are many more deep down. At least under the perspective of different pupils, so many black and white haloes are transmitted one after another.
"Boss, there are many police cars outside."
A bodyguard came down and said.
"It's okay, it's my brother who recruited the people. This area must be protected immediately."
Li Mo straightened up. The cleaning speed was too slow. It took half a day to clean out more than 30 pieces, and they were just dug out of the soil. They had to be cleaned one by one, numbered, protected, archived, and studied later. etc.
"It seems that we should call in the large troops as soon as possible." Li Mo said to himself. He originally thought that this was a large tomb. The number of unearthed black pottery from the Neolithic Age was only one or two hundred pieces at most. This number already represents The noble identity of the tomb owner was revealed.
But things are different now. Professor Zhang Hao of Qingdao University alone is simply too busy. Moreover, it is a newly discovered cultural site from the late Neolithic Age. Such a project is huge and time-consuming. Without teamwork, progress will be very slow.
Moreover, the significance of the discovery of Neolithic cultural sites is extraordinary. It cannot be described in terms of value. It represents the crystallization of the highest wisdom of the ancestors of a nation.
Li Mo walked out of the pit, and a bodyguard brought a bucket of water with a small bucket. After cleaning his hands, Li Mo took out a mobile phone from his pocket. He first took a dozen photos and then sent them one by one to Professor Zhu Changping.
Professor Zhu Changping's call came within a minute. He said in a solemn tone: "Xiao Mo, besides these discoveries, are there any others? Are there any skeletons found, such as human or animal bones?"
"Nothing has been found so far, teacher. I have a guess in my mind that this is not a tomb."
The other end of the phone heard the sound of a chair moving. Professor Zhu Changping raised his voice a little and said, "Are you saying that there is probably a Neolithic cultural site there?"
"The possibility is very high. I will continue to clean it up in the afternoon. Teacher, you have to be prepared. If it is really a newly discovered cultural site, I'm afraid it won't be enough to just send those young teachers over."
"I understand what you mean. From now on, you can send me photos of newly unearthed antiquities in a timely manner. I will immediately contact the leaders of the institute and the school. If it can really be judged that it is a cultural site from the Neolithic Age, then it will not matter at all. There is no doubt that we at Beijing University must be responsible for the excavation.”
"good."
