After walking around the entire archaeological site, Lu Cheng found that although there were many archaeological experts here, the more experts gathered there, the less manpower they had to work.
Those old masters were just looking at it. It was impossible for them to discover it themselves.
Lu Cheng had nothing to do, so he found a small job, helping the archaeological team "sifting soil", and was given a daily subsidy of 180 yuan.
The so-called "sifting of soil". It means filtering the soil through a sieve to sort out the cultural relics mixed in the soil. Don’t underestimate this step. Many important discoveries are obtained from sifting soil.
Even the basic work of "sifting soil" is watched by specialized archaeologists.
The leader in charge of "sifting soil" is named "Zhang Mingda". He is a middle-aged man from Qingcheng City Museum. He is accompanied by two assistants, both young people who have just graduated two or three years ago and are college students majoring in archeology. The male is Qin Shi and the female is Lu Zhen.
Lu Cheng is a low-key and gentle person who easily gets along with others. In addition, he is a college student, hard-working and patient, and he quickly gained trust.
Except for these professionals, the rest of the people involved in sifting the soil are migrant workers hired from the surrounding area.
Their salary is the same as Lu Cheng's, one hundred and eighty yuan a day.
"A toe bone was found."
"A jade piece was found."
"Brother Qin, what do you think this is? It looks like a small animal bone..."
"Sister Lu, there is a stone ball here, it looks a little weird..."
Because multiple excavation surfaces are being excavated in parallel and a lot of soil is transported through the belt, there are various discoveries. Sometimes, small antiquities are discovered in succession, which makes the three professionals overwhelmed and almost overwhelmed.
Sometimes it is not so busy, and there is nothing new for twenty or thirty minutes in a row.
At this time, Lu Cheng chatted with Qin Shi and Lu Zhen.
"Brother Qin, I think the cairn murals over there are interesting. Do you think I can go over and take some photos?"
"No need. Are you here with Teacher Lu? In two days, he will get the complete photos and videos. They were taken by professionals and are much clearer than your random shots."
"Sister Lu, I heard that in recent years archeology has been broadcast live, and ordinary people can watch it on TV. Why can't it be broadcast live this time? You have to sign a confidentiality agreement. How long do you think this can be hidden?"
"Hey! The unearthed cultural relics are not too weird! The superiors are afraid that the people will talk nonsense, which is not conducive to social stability and unity, so they will temporarily cover up the archaeological work. For professionals, not only will they not hide it, but they will also invite more experts to analyze it. The mystery. Do you know where those old masters came from? They are all famous ancient calligraphy experts from all over the country. However, three days have passed, so many people have not recognized a word..."
"Sister Lu, I suspect that this does not belong to human writing, or that it cannot be recognized by mortals."
"If not a mortal, who else is there?"
"I'm an immortal."
"Xiao Lu, don't talk nonsense."
From the perspective of hired migrant workers, sifting soil is a boring and tiring job. In addition, the archaeological time is long and they are busy from morning to night. Even when it gets dark, they continue to work under the bright light of headlights. Therefore, many people Becoming exhausted by the time work is done.
Even the three persons in charge were overwhelmed. They often looked carefully in the morning and carelessly at night.
As the days passed, the cairns were excavated bit by bit. The chariot and horse pits and accompanying tombs were also gradually revealed. In addition, in addition to the eight giant burial pits, some small burial tombs were discovered further away. The skeletons unearthed in each pit were ordinary people, no more than 2 meters tall, and the bones were not well preserved. There is no crystal clear feeling.
As the burial pits were excavated, more soil was sifted.
"Found a jade bracelet!"
"There is a vertebra here, which is relatively well-preserved and red-yellow in color, like a relic!"
"I found a Rui Cheng! Is this equipment to assist archery?"
"Eh? Sister Lu, look at it, is this a white jade ring? There are patterns inside, which seem to be words?"
To be honest, when he sifted out the jade ring for the first time, Lu Cheng thought to himself: "Is this a storage ring left by an immortal?"
He wanted to stay secretly, but after all, he was a young college student. There was no shortage of food and drink at home. He had never stolen anything before. He had a strong sense of shame and was afraid that if someone discovered him, he would lose his father's face.
After that, as more and more things were sifted out, his heart became numb.
Ten days later, all four walls of the cairn were exposed, followed by a full range of high-definition photos and videos, including the altar and the partial structure of the skeletons in the chariot and horse pits. After careful processing, some strange birds and beasts, which could easily cause panic, were removed. The ingredients are made into CDs and distributed to professionals.
Lu Tianming also got a copy and carefully put it into his handbag.
In addition to CDs, a small number of senior experts can also log on to the encrypted official website to observe those strange pictures of birds and animals, as well as the archaeological excavation process of the entire cemetery.
On the thirteenth day, Lu Cheng's vacation was almost over.
At 8:30 in the evening, he was still sifting the soil seriously.
Among the three archaeological team members responsible for sifting soil, Qin Shi and Lu Zhen were packing up their tools and preparing to end the day's work.
Zhang Mingda sat in the distance and looked at a dozen migrant workers who moved slowly.
The migrant workers were a little exhausted and wished they could close their stalls and go home early.
Lu Cheng groped with his hands in the sieve, picked out stones and threw them away.
Suddenly, his finger hurt! I quickly took it out, only to find that there was an extra jade ring on my ring finger!
"Hiss! This jade ring is evil! Like a ghost, it took the initiative to put it on my finger! What a ghost!"
He wanted to take off the ring, but the jade ring was so tight that it seemed to be sucked into his flesh and he couldn't take it off!
This is the third jade ring that he personally selected.
During the previous sifting process, more than 20 similar rings were found.
He was about to report aloud, but when he looked down, he saw that the ring was getting deeper and deeper, and in just a minute, it disappeared into the skin!
He had vaguely seen before that this jade ring was different. It seemed to be carved with complex patterns. The jade rings he had discovered before had only one or two runes, but this one seemed to have more runes.
His heart was beating loudly, "If the jade rings unearthed before are all storage rings, then this one is the best one! Is it a large high-end storage ring? There is a small Xumi space hidden inside. The world? There must be at least a hundred acres of land, right? Oh my God, what should I do?"
His expression changed, and finally he gritted his teeth and remained silent.
"That's all! You can't blame me for this! The jade ring took the initiative to bind it! You must accept me as your master!"
He rubbed his hands. His fingers were so smooth that he could not see the jade ring!
He stood up straight and patted his arms and thighs without any repercussions.
At this time, although there was a video in the sky and there were people busy around, no one noticed that the jade ring was unearthed. Because the ring was not large in size, it only had a thin layer and quickly integrated into his skin.
