Li Mo put away his cell phone and realized that everyone around him was looking at him. He could clearly hear every word he said during the video call with the professor at Beijing University.
The black pottery jar in front of me is actually a giant treasure from the Neolithic Age. The complex symbols carved on it are probably ancient characters before Oracle Bone Inscriptions. If a connection can be found between the two, it means that there is real writing in Chinese history. The recorded time has taken another big step forward.
This also makes up for the gap in the evolution of writing before the emergence of Oracle.
Writing is the carrier of civilization, and its significance has gone beyond the scope of value. Its status and importance can be said to have surpassed any ancient civilization that has been born.
Therefore, the black pottery jar in front of me cannot tolerate any accidents.
"Brother Bin, I leave this to you."
Shibin nodded. He had been mentally prepared when he came to Yunshan from Kyoto, but he didn't expect to encounter such a unique Neolithic treasure.
He walked aside solemnly and made a call. A few minutes later, he walked to Li Mo and said, "From now on, I will take over the security here. Reinforcements will arrive in two hours at the earliest. There are local police stations nearby." Personnel on patrol.”
"I arranged for half of the brothers to stay in case of emergency."
Shi Bin is not polite.
The sky darkened and the lights came on. Li Mo was a little tired after a busy day, so he took the bus back to the county seat.
The next day, Li Mo woke up and realized it was already past nine in the morning. He took his phone and looked at the screen full of missed calls, and then checked that the phone was in silent mode.
"problem occurs."
Li Mo was busy calling back the call he made five minutes ago, which was from Professor Zhu Changping.
"Hey, Xiao Mo, I called you all night but didn't answer the phone. I thought something happened to you."
"Teacher, I'm so sorry. My phone was muted yesterday and I just woke up. Are you here?"
"We arrived in the middle of the night. We originally chartered a car today, but the superior department attaches great importance to the situation in Yunshan, so we from Beijing University were the first to rush over to find out the actual situation here. When can you arrive? If we weren't here, we wouldn't be able to carry out our work. After all, you know the situation here best. Besides, without you, no one can get close to the black pottery jar. We looked at it from a distance and felt extremely anxious."
"We'll be there in just over an hour, I'll leave right away."
Li Mo quickly washed up and put on clean clothes. The bodyguard was already waiting on the first floor. He came out and set off quickly.
When they arrived at Zhouqiao Village, the waiting professors, teachers, and some junior and senior students at Peking University were all attracted by the luxury cars, especially the little gold man on the car logo. Everyone knows that the owner of the car is an extraordinary person.
When Li Mo hurriedly got out of the car, everyone realized that this group of luxury cars actually belonged to him.
"Professors, teachers, and seniors, I'm so sorry. I didn't expect you to be so fast."
Li Mo trotted over and apologized profusely.
Zhu Changping knew how much he was worth, so he just smiled and waved his hands and said, "It's not too late. They are building the last shed. It's not convenient for so many of us to go in. Now when you arrive, take us to see the black pottery first." Cylinder."
"Xiao Mo, hurry up and take me there to take a look. Those are probably ancient characters before the oracle bone inscriptions. This is worth studying for the rest of my life." Professor Zhang is an expert in ancient characters, so he is in the most urgent mood. Gu Sui
Li Mo turned around and looked around. It turned out that there were already soldiers standing guard around the wasteland. Without Li Mo's intervention, Shibin would not let anyone in, not even a professor from Beijing University.
"Teacher, let a few professors follow me in first."
Li Mo led them into the wasteland. Shibin saluted everyone and then let them go. Then I saw five professors quickly running to the black pottery jar and studying it carefully, and having heated discussions from time to time.
"You haven't rested all night?" Seeing that Shibin's eyes were bloodshot, Li Mo walked over and said with a smile, "Why don't you go lie in the car for a few hours?"
"It's not bad. When I was training in the army, it was common to go all day and night without rest. If you can hold on, you can see that the military tent has been set up over there. I will go over and take a nap after your work arrangements are made."
The five professors over there argued for more than 20 minutes before they stopped. Professor Zhu Changping waved to Li Mo and said excitedly when he walked over: "Xiao Mo, this is a unique treasure. There are one hundred and thirty-two chapters in it." characters, Professor Zhang has identified that twelve of the symbols are very similar to later oracle bone inscriptions. The status of black pottery with ancient characters is not inferior to the bronzes that are national treasures in the Kyoto Museum."
"Teacher, what should we do next?"
"Previously discovered Neolithic cultural sites would have museums and the like established under local coordination, but the things unearthed from the cultural sites this time can no longer be viewed casually. I will report the situation here to see the decision of the superior department. By the way, do you think there are any other black pottery vessels with ancient writings engraved on them underground?"
"I guess so."
Li Mo had investigated once before and found that many things emitted black and white haloes. Those might be black pottery engraved with ancient characters.
"Xiao Mo, it's up to you to arrange the work for the time being. Once we're all on board, you can get away at any time if you want." Professor Zhu Changping still knew something about his student's personality, which made him feel a little embarrassed.
But this time he really couldn't get away for a while, because he was the only one who could roughly confirm the scope of this Neolithic cultural site.
"Okay, let's start working. I'll lead people to dig a few more places first, and then decide whether to expand the scope of the investigation based on the situation."
"Okay, those teachers and students will clean up the black pottery first. I just took a look at it. Those black pottery are exquisite in shape and superb in craftsmanship. They are much more exquisite than those in other unearthed new cultural sites. In addition, there are pottery There are ancient writings engraved on the body, maybe this was the gathering place of a powerful human tribe thousands of years ago.”
Next, Li Mo and more than a dozen villagers began to choose a place to dig a hole. There were soldiers standing guard, but many people watching the excitement did not dare to approach.
"Everyone stopped when they dug to a depth of three meters and waited for me to observe before deciding whether to continue digging deeper."
"Okay boss."
These people are paid 300 yuan a day. If they can work for half a month or a month, they will earn a lot of money, so they work very hard and seriously.
Li Mo selected six locations around the wasteland based on what Yitong observed. The shallowest location revealed Neolithic antiquities at more than two meters, and the deepest one had to be dug to more than five meters.
After the arrangements were made, he took the lecturer from Beijing University to the first deep pit. About a quarter of the place had not been cleared, and there were also many black pottery buried in the soil around the pit. .
"Li Mo, you can just tell us what we should do."
A teacher who was nearly forty years old pushed his eyes on the bridge of his nose and said, "They came prepared. They wore non-slip and waterproof boots and wore uniforms."
Li Mo didn't show any pretense. He gave a general introduction to the situation in the pit, and then arranged for each of them to pick a shovel and dig in slowly in one direction.
