Li Mo called a few helpers, and soon a stone more than one meter high and about two meters in circumference was exposed. Just as Professor Zhang Hao guessed, rows of ancient characters were carved on the surface of the stone, just like today's running script. .
After more than four thousand years, some ancient characters have become blurred, but as more writing carriers appear, it becomes clearer that these ancient characters have some inseparable connection with the later oracle bone inscriptions.
"What a treasure of civilization."
Professor Zhang Hao couldn't help but sigh that the written history of Chinese ancestors has taken a big step forward.
"This stone is not light. A few more people will dig out the slope a little more so that it is no longer steep, and then lift it up manually."
Li Mo continued to arrange manpower, and soon the stone, which was suspected to be a tribal monument, was lifted out of the pit, once again attracting many people to watch and study. There were pottery inscriptions in the past and stone inscriptions now. The standards of things unearthed from the Neolithic cultural sites here are much higher.
"Li Mo, the armed escort military truck has arrived. It is extremely important to send it to Kyoto first and put it in the treasure house of the Forbidden City Museum. After the Xiang Yu Treasure Hall is completely renovated, it will be transferred to the treasure house there. It is very large and can store many antiques. It’s a treasure.”
Shibin walked to Li Mo and said, "I have been staying here this month. The skin on my face is much rougher, but I am more energetic than when I was in Kyoto."
"Okay, this stone will be cleaned first and then manually carried onto the military truck. The black pottery with ancient writings on it will be put on the military truck. I have arranged for the logistics vehicle to follow the military truck for the rest. Will you go back to Kyoto with the military truck?"
"Well, grandpa said that when all the treasures here are delivered, there will be many leaders with special status present, so I must personally escort them back."
Shibin didn't explain it clearly, but Li Mo already understood.
"Drive carefully, there's no rush for those few hours anyway."
"Understood, when will you return to Kyoto? Kyoto University has started school early, and the excavation work here has been on track. You don't have to stay here at all."
"Almost stay for another half month."
"That's fine. I will continue to come here after these treasures are escorted back to Kyoto. I'll go over to help first. If you need anything, call me."
There are too many black pottery accumulated here. After nearly a month of excavation, more than 6,000 pieces of various black pottery have been unearthed. When the excavation of this wasteland is completed, Li Mo estimates that the number of black pottery will exceed 10,000.
After a total of ten military trucks and five logistics container trucks left one by one, the wasteland site was finally cleared and the next phase of excavation work could continue.
It's March, the weather is getting warmer, and the rapeseed flowers in the rural fields have bloomed, and the breeze blows, making them all bright and yellow.
Li Mo was sitting on the roadside, holding a bowl of rice and a few bacon ribs. Although the food cooked by these villagers is not exquisite enough, the taste is unique, and the food is rough and casual. The brown bear and the brothers learned to be casual after staying here for a long time. They picked up their rice bowls and squatted on the ground with the villagers to eat.
"Mr. Li, I heard that these treasures will be sent to Kyoto, and even the museum will be located in the Yanjiao area of Kyoto. Is this true?"
"Basically true."
"Actually, I don't understand many things, but I also know that it would be a waste if those treasures were placed in our Yunshan Mountain. I want to ask Mr. Li something on behalf of all the villagers here."
Li Mo tore off a piece of fragrant pork ribs and nodded while eating, "It's already so cooked. If you have anything to say, just say it."
"I heard young people say that some of the Neolithic cultural sites here can be developed into tourist attractions. As a man of great ability, can you build a small museum for our village here and display the unimportant pottery? A little, so that all our villagers can also benefit.”
Li Mo turned to look at the village director, suddenly laughed and said, "I thought you would hold back and not ask."
"Do you already have a plan?"
Li Mo planed a few mouthfuls of rice, pointed to the newly unearthed pottery and said: "This Neolithic cultural site occupies a very large area, and there are many kinds of treasures unearthed. In fact, the ones that are really valuable for our research are those inscribed with ancient characters. There are a lot of pottery here, and we will build a local museum here, and then turn it into a tourist attraction with local characteristics." Gu Hao
"Really?" The village director stood up happily.
"Of course it is true, but the funds are not provided by me, but raised by the local government."
The village director smacked his butt and hurried to the place where vegetables were collected. He took out a bowl of meat and vegetables in a clean porcelain bowl and said, "Mr. Li, eat more meat."
"thanks, thanks."
Time passed day by day, and in mid-to-late March, Li Mo finally left to return to Kyoto. The renovation of Xiang Yu Treasure Museum is basically completed, and the next step is to sort out the details. Li Mo would receive several calls a day urging him to return to Kyoto early. Those things were too complicated. He originally stayed away from them and hid if he could. But in the end, even some leaders of Kyoto University personally called him and he had to go back.
Back in Kyoto, the weather here has finally picked up, and there is no need to wear a down jacket every day. All you need is a sweater and a jacket. Li Mo has been staying at home for two days. After being busy for so long, it is still the most comfortable at home. He can sleep when he wants and order takeout whatever he wants.
There was a sound of pressing the code at the door, and it was quickly pushed open and a slim woman walked in. She was wearing a light white sweater, light blue casual jeans and white sneakers, carrying some fruits and vegetables.
"Xiao Mo, you're back!"
Liu Yingying put down the fruits and vegetables, happily trotted towards him, and threw herself on the sofa. While Li Mo was still dazed, she had already moved close to him, with a pair of eyes looking at his face.
A light body fragrance rushed into his nose. Li Mo's throat moved and he touched his face and said, "I've washed it many times, and there's no dirt."
"I've tanned a bit and lost some weight."
Liu Yingying sat next to him, squeezed him and said happily: "I bought you some moisturizer to prevent sunburn, why didn't you take it with you?"
"Of course I bring it with me, but in that place there are dirt pits all over the place. Even if I put a hundred layers on my face, it won't be enough."
"What do you want to eat for lunch? I can cook it for you?"
Li Mo looked at the vegetables in his pocket and said worriedly: "Can you do it?"
"Boiled Chinese cabbage will help you lose weight, but I can add a bowl of instant noodles and two poached eggs for you."
"Okay, I'll sit and wait for the noodles."
"I'll peel an apple for you and you can watch a movie."
Ten minutes later, Li Mo finally ate boiled instant noodles, which contained two poached eggs. Liu Yingying ate boiled cabbage with some chicken breast in it.
"Yingying, you're not fat. Why do you think about losing weight every day? Isn't it good to have some fat on your body?"
"I don't want to lose weight after I gain weight. It's good to develop a habit now. The weather is nice today. Would you like to go shopping together in the afternoon?"
"I made an appointment with someone this afternoon, come with me."
"Where are you going? If it's important to meet someone, I'll dress up so as not to embarrass you." Liu Yingying put down the chopsticks in her hand and went to prepare clothes and put on light makeup.
Li Mo grabbed her and said, "No, I just want to meet an elder, Master Chen Xinghai of Beidiao, who is a famous sculptor."
"Then can I do this?" Liu Yingying's voice became a little softer.
"It's pretty good. People standing next to me would just say it's like a flower stuck in cow dung."
