Passing through the busy and bustling streets, the car drove into the eastern suburbs of Jinmen City.
This is a typical northern-style "siheyuan". In the middle of four facing gray brick bungalows, there is a small rectangular courtyard paved with gray bricks. There is a flower bed built in the middle of the yard, with more than a dozen pots of various flowers placed on it.
There is a white magnolia tree over one foot high next to the flower bed. The branches are pruned to a moderate density, making the entire courtyard look more primitive and quiet.
"Dad, Mom, Wang Ke is here!"
A group of people immediately came out of the room. The leader was a tall, thin, tall and tall man. Although his temples were gray, he seemed to be only about 50 years old. Standing next to him was a middle-aged man with a fat body and wearing a Chinese tunic suit. There is also a young man with a smile on his face and a pair of dark glasses on his nose, and at the end is a fair-skinned, thin and slender woman. His black hair was neatly combed, and his face was kind.
"This is my dad!" Ye pointed at the tall, thin scholar with gray temples and said, "Ye Rongguang, the famous biologist at Jinmen University, is my dad."
"Little girl, shut your mouth, welcome, welcome! Welcome, Comrade Wang, you've had a hard journey." Professor Ye Rongguang came up to hold Wang Ke's hand.
Wang Ke put his legs together, saluted everyone with a bang, and then said: "Report to Professor Ye, Wang Ke is here to report!"
"Okay, come in and I'll introduce you."
Entering the house, you are greeted by a large living room. There is a pot of asparagus on the shelf. The grass has grown more than three feet long and hangs down like a vine. There is a square fish tank under the small green leaves, with several fish swimming leisurely inside.
A group of large leather sofas were placed in a circle in front of the fireplace, with a carpet on the floor in the middle.
Against the wall is an exquisite piano table, with a few dried plums in a vase on the left side.
On a large round table near the restaurant, plates, exquisite small porcelain bowls and chopsticks have been placed, surrounded by eight round chairs.
The house is kept clean and tidy.
Professor Ye Rongguang pointed to the fat middle-aged man wearing a Chinese tunic suit and said: "This is Professor Wen, the director of the Department of Archeology and doctoral supervisor." Then he pointed to the young man wearing deep glasses and said: "This is It’s Dr. Chen, the director of the Institute of Archaeology; there is also Professor Qiu who will be here soon.” Finally, Professor Ye Rongguang pointed to the woman next to him and said: “This is Qian Qian’s mother, Mrs. Qiu, Professor Qiu.”
"Hello, aunt!" Wang Kejun nodded to others, but immediately shouted to Ye Xianqian's mother, her voice loud and crisp.
"Come on, Comrade Xiao Wang, sit down on the sofa and I'll serve you tea." Ye Xianqian's mother was very polite.
Except for two young people, there were a room full of professors! Ye Xianxian returned home and never dared to make any mistakes again. She followed her mother like a little tail. While serving tea, Wang Ke clearly heard her saying to her mother: "How was it?"
Professor Pian pursed his thin lips and tapped Ye Pianqian's forehead with his finger. "Go serve the dishes to the guests."
This leaf's thin lips look just like her mother's.
As soon as he sat down, Professor Wen spoke up: "Comrade Xiao Wang, the jade turtle you gave to Professor Ye is very valuable, it can be called a priceless treasure!"
After finishing speaking, Professor Wen picked up the tea cup, blew on the tea leaves, took a sip, and said: "Why is it a priceless treasure? Let me tell you a story first. The Xishan Mountain where you are is the land of ancient Yan and Zhao. At that time, the Yan Kingdom was in a corner. , to the east is the vast Bohai Sea, to the south is the powerful Qi State, to the west is Zhao State, and to the north are the Huns. It can be said that except for the sea to the east, the south, west, and north are all enemies."
Wang Ke read this piece of history when he was in school. Just listen to Professor Wen continue to say: "The three kingdoms of Yan, Zhao and Qi have been infighting for hundreds of years. In 265 BC, the first emperor of Qin was ambitious and growing stronger. Taking advantage of the unstable political situation in the transition between the old and the new, he took over three cities of Zhao. In order to cater to Qin, The state of Yan took advantage of the situation and attempted to form a north-south pincer attack with the state of Qin. From then on, it forged hatred with Zhao and Qi. Later, the state of Qi rescued Zhao and jointly retaliated against the state of Yan, occupying Zhongyang in Yan's land. By 245 BC, Yan The country once again ceded territory to seek peace. In 236 BC, the State of Zhao attacked Yan for the fourth time and captured the cities of Li and Yang. In the name of saving Yan, the State of Qin continued to send troops to capture Zhao. In 228 BC, the State of Qin first destroyed South Korea and then After taking Handan, the capital of Zhao State, and approaching Yan State, everyone realized that Qin State was determined to unify the world, and Yan State became the next target of attack."
Professor Wen talked about this period of history in a catchy way, and it was like a familiar treasure. He continued: "In response, Yan State adopted two countermeasures: one was to assassinate the King of Qin; the other was to unite with the remaining forces of Zhao State to resist Qin. At that time, Prince Dan of Yan State was a hostage in Qin State. In order to paralyze the King of Qin, he He was idle all day long, and the outside world thought he was a young master who lost his ambition by playing with things. After escaping back to Yan State, Prince Dan immediately found an assassin named Jing Ke. In 227 BC, Prince Dan sent Jing Ke and his 13-year-old assistant Qin Wuyang to On the banks of the Yishui River in Yancheng. It is a pity that the assassination attempt on the King of Qin failed this time, which gave Qin an excuse to attack, and Yan was destroyed from then on."
"But what does this have to do with the Jade Turtle?" Wang Ke asked.
"It's so relevant. The jade turtle, also known as the yellow-throated water turtle, is extremely precious. Generally, only the royal family can own it. Among them, the most precious species is the jade turtle. Plus, the belly shell of your jade turtle has small seals engraved on it. The word "Dan King" comes from an ancient well that is more than a thousand years old. We have verified that it is most likely the pet of Prince Dan of the Yan Kingdom." Professor Ye Rongguang stood up excitedly and added.
"Ah, then this jade turtle is more than two thousand years old." Wang Ke stood up in surprise.
"Exactly, exactly. If this ancient well can be confirmed to have existed for more than two thousand years, we can basically determine the dating history revealed by this turtle. Therefore, its archaeological and biological values are priceless."
Wang Ke immediately thought of the large piles of knives and coins in the stone house, and his body trembled with excitement. This can certainly be proved, and so can the ancient well, but what about the underground river in the ancient well, the pile of skeletons in the stone house, and the jade tablet?
After thinking about it, except for the jade plaque, it can be said that this is also the biggest secret Wang Ke has hidden in his life.
"Okay, Professor Wen, I will tell you the secret of that ancient well."
…
The meal at Professor Ye Rongguang's house lasted from noon to evening, and from evening to the morning of the next day, plus Professor Qiu who arrived late. Five experts and scholars constantly raised various strange questions.
Including the local legend of Tunliu Village, the local customs and customs of Tunliu Village, the location of this ancient well, the depth and width of this ancient well, the garbage found in this ancient well, the cave dug next to this ancient well, and underneath this ancient well The underground river, the stone house next to the underground river, the piles of knife coins in the stone house, the skeletons found in the stone house, etc.
Professor Ye Rongguang and Professor Wen did not record the number of pieces of paper in the end. Anyway, the thick pile did not include the dozens of drawings Wang Ke drew for them.
When the food is cold or hot, eat it when it is hot; eat for a while, talk for a while; then cook, then eat.
In this legend, Wang Ke did not see anyone yawning. Everyone was so excited that they could not wait to drive to Tunliu Village right away.
Until the next day, the sun rose three poles.
"The information you provided is so exciting, so detailed, and so important. We will immediately report it to the Jinmen Museum, the Jinmen Cultural Relics Bureau, and even the relevant departments in Kyoto, and strive to form a joint investigation and archaeological plan for biology and archeology as soon as possible, and determine Members of the joint archaeological inspection team, please prepare the funds and equipment for the joint archaeological inspection. You can rest first and wait for news from us."
Then everyone stood up, those who went to the toilet went to the toilet; those who stretched their waists; those who beat their arms and legs, went to the yard to beat their arms and legs. Everyone felt that they had gained a lot, and Wang Ke was a lucky general. Especially Professor Ye Rongguang and his wife Professor Pian, the more they look at Wang Ke, the more they like him.
If this kid didn't have a pure heart and courage, how could he take the initiative to stand up, how could he dare to go down to a depth of 100 meters to dig out wells for the residents?
For the past two thousand years, let alone going down a well, lying down at the mouth of the well and looking down at the 100-meter-deep well would scare the timid person half to death. How many people dare to go down to the bottom of the well?
If you don't go down to the bottom of the well, how can you discover the secrets under this thousand-year-old well?
After this analysis, Professor Ye Rongguang and his wife came to the conclusion that this cannot be explained by the word "chance".
Wang Ke is not only a thoughtful and ambitious warrior, but also a courageous and responsible man.
Professor Pian believes that his daughter’s vision is very accurate, and such a good guy is hard to find in the world.
Professor Ye Rongguang quietly said to Ye Qianquan: "Have you noticed, he is the kind of man who is who I am, who I am afraid of, and who would he rather than me!"
A good man should have such courage and domineering power.
Ye Xiang received such comments from his parents and was so happy that he didn't know what to say. Wang Ke, who stayed at Professor Ye's house, slept for seven hours in a row before waking up before dinner.
As soon as Wang Ke woke up, he started eating.
The meal in the evening was cooked by Ye Xianqiang himself. Wang Ke was surprised. He would never have thought that Ye could cook.
Professor Ye's family was the only one left at this meal.
Professor Ye and Professor Pian kept picking up food for Wang Ke and continued the topic from last night while eating.
"Comrade Xiao Wang, you have made a great contribution this time and made great contributions to our biology and archeology. Professor Wen also called me this afternoon to ask for credit for you. We at Jinmen University I also want to give you a reward. There are not many young people like you who are responsible, ambitious and courageous. Are you interested in working in the Institute of Biology of our university?" Professor Ye praised for a long time and finally turned to the topic. He is also determined to help his daughter.
"Professor Ye, I'm just a high school student."
"Hey, that doesn't matter. After you arrive at the Institute of Biology, you can study for my graduate degree or Professor Wen's. If you are willing to study, we can always train you to become a doctor."
"Thank you Professor Ye, thank you Professor Wen, thank you Professor Pian. I am a soldier, and I have determined to be a professional soldier since I was a child."
Professor Ye and his wife Professor Pian looked at each other, and Professor Ye said: "Hahaha, okay, okay! You are right, good men are everywhere. You can serve with peace of mind first, just in case, I said just in case, One day when you are discharged and returned to work, come to see me at Jinmen University, the door of our Institute of Biology will be open for you at any time."
"Thank you. Thank you Professor Ye and Professor Wen for your kindness. I will remember your words."
