Sunday.
Five o'clock in the morning.
The whole city is still asleep, the birds haven't woken up, and the sky has not yet dawned. There is just a faint light at the end of the sky.
Ring ring ring!
Ring ring ring!
The north house of the courtyard.
The hurried call broke the silence.
Dong Xuebin slept so hard that he turned over and was still dreaming.
Xie Huilan, who was in bed next to her, was woken up. When she heard the ring tone of her cell phone, she knew it belonged to Dong Xuebin. She couldn't help but close her eyes and touch her elbow there, "Cell phone!"
Dong Xuebin hummed twice, then sat up sleepily and rubbed his forehead, "What time is it? Who is this?" He got out of bed and picked up his cell phone from the table. He saw that it was the county's number. Zhang Dongfang Dong Xuebin's heart skipped a beat when he saw the call, and he also had a headache. What else happened in the county? Brother, I've only been back for less than a day, so don't cause anything else to happen to me. In fact, ever since Dong Xuebin became the leader, he would have to be on tenterhooks if there was a phone call at night.
What do officials fear
What I fear most is that something will happen!
Dong Xuebin answered, "Old Zhang, something happened again?"
Dong Xuebin felt at ease as soon as Zhang Dongfang opened his mouth over there, "Haha, something happened Xuebin."
Lao Zhang actually laughed very excitedly, which made Dong Xuebin feel certain. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "What's wrong?"
"It's a good thing." Zhang Dongfang reported the good news: "The location of the main chamber of the ancient tomb has been determined."
Dong Xuebin was startled, fearing that it would affect his wife's sleep, so he put on his slippers and walked out of the house to the yard, "Are you sure? So soon? When did it happen?" No way? When I first read the future newspaper, it took more than two months from the discovery of the first unearthed cultural relic to the confirmation of the main tomb chamber and the nationwide live broadcast. As far as Dong Xuebin knew, it was quite fast. There are tombs with complex terrain, even those that have taken several years of excavation and exploration. For example, the tombs embedded in the cliff are very difficult to excavate.
Zhang Dongfang said: "Just now, I have to thank the tomb robbers for discovering the main tomb so quickly. Didn't they dig two robber holes? Later, Teacher Chu and the archaeological team were afraid that there would be more tomb robbers. , if you continue to expand the robbery hole, people will want to fill it up. As soon as it was filled in, some soil on the ground next to it was dug out, and then something was discovered. Teacher Chu and Teacher Zhong immediately saw it. The people stopped filling the hole, and based on their past experience, they made some determination. The archaeological team moved to a location dozens of meters away, cleared the turf on the ground, and began digging under the command. Because they paid more attention to it, the archaeological team's People worked overtime all night without taking a break. As a result, the main tomb chamber came out an hour ago. Of course, it was not dug thoroughly. Everything inside is still unknown. The surrounding soil is still being cleaned and it is slowly expanding. However, after confirmation by experts and the archaeological team, it is certain that this is the location of the main tomb.”
Dong Xuebin was also very happy and no longer sleepy, "Okay."
No wonder it was dug out so quickly. It turned out to be the work of tomb robbers.
"But it's really dangerous." Zhang Dongfang said with lingering fear: "To say that there are really experts in this tomb robbery gang, you said that in such a big place, they can find the approximate location of the main tomb chamber with just a shovel, if not It's a few dozen meters off. It might have been really dangerous the day before yesterday. If they dig inside, the main tomb will definitely be destroyed, and the historical value will be greatly reduced. I don't know where to cry. "
Dong Xuebin didn't believe that they had experts, "Definitely not, those people were probably just blind cats who met a dead rat, and it was just a coincidence."
"Yes, haha." Zhang Dongfang asked, "When will you come back?"
"I'll do it tonight." Dong Xuebin said, "I'll fly back in the evening."
Zhang Dongfang hummed, "Okay, I've finished telling you about the situation here. You can continue to rest. I'll keep an eye on you. I'll have to go home and catch up on some sleep soon."
Dong Xuebin said: "Okay, don't work too hard."
Zhang Dongfang said: "I know that the army will arrive in the morning and will conduct a comprehensive blockade and protection of Qingluan Mountain. Then I will be much less worried."
"Has it been approved?" Dong Xuebin said.
"Approved, the protection problem is solved, and we can free up time to do other things." Of course Dong Xuebin knew what Zhang Dongfang said.
After hanging up the phone, Dong Xuebin raised his head and stretched. There was more light in the sky. Breathing the cool fresh air, Dong Xuebin was very energetic. He could only relax for a day today. He should be busy again when he goes back in the evening. , the discovery of the main tomb chamber means that the battle has begun. What battle? Naturally, it is a battle to prepare for Tige in neighboring Jiao County. This exploration of the main tomb will definitely be broadcast live across the country.
live streaming.
publicity.
Build momentum.
There is so much to do!
Dong Xuebin was ready to recharge his batteries for a while, then went back into the room and lay down next to Huilan. He covered his wife's feet with the towel again, and then fell asleep.
Morning.
It's past seven o'clock.
Luan Xiaoping came into the room and woke them up, and the food was ready.
"Mom, why are you so busy again? I'm sorry." Xie Huilan opened the quilt and sat up.
Luan Xiaoping smiled and handed the baby in her arms to her, "Your task is to take good care of the baby. You don't need to worry about the rest. Mom is not old yet. Well, feed the baby quickly. I have been crying for a while. I am hungry." ”
"Okay." Xie Huilan took the child and breastfed her.
Dong Xuebin was still lying like a dead pig. He was awake, but he was still lying on the bed.
"This kid." Luan Xiaoping spanked her son's butt angrily, "Get up quickly, the sun is almost shining on your buttocks. By the way, I went out to buy breakfast just now and saw the Youth Daily at the newsstand. The front page was your neighbor. I seem to have found some ancient tomb in the county or something, and I don’t know if it will be of use to you, so I bought it for you.” After that, he threw the newspaper under his arm to him.
"Huh? Youth Newspaper?" Dong Xuebin stopped pretending to be stupid. He sat up and grabbed the newspaper. "Let me take a look. Hey, it's really the front page."
A distant view of Qingluan Mountain, and the following text is also an explanation of the ancient tombs of the Han Dynasty. Experts and archaeologists have confirmed that this is the largest ancient tomb group of the Han Dynasty discovered so far, even the one the day before yesterday. The matter of tomb robbers was also briefly mentioned.
So far
The largest ancient tomb group
Hey, this is a good promotion!
Although it is only the largest ancient tomb in the Han Dynasty, it is still the largest!
Dong Xuebin didn't expect that this matter would be published in the newspaper so quickly. It was still a national-level newspaper like the National Youth Daily. He thought it would have to wait until next week, but it is not surprising to think about it. The matter of tomb robbers is causing trouble. It's too big, so the ancient tomb cannot be hidden. Besides, there are already troops stationed in Jiao Neighbor County for protection. There is no need to worry about tomb robbing anymore. When the news comes out, it comes out, which is a good thing.
Xie Huilan also seemed very interested. After feeding the child, she said, "Show me."
Dong Xuebin gave her the newspaper as if to show off, and Xie Huilan also read it quickly, laughed at the end, and looked Dong Xuebin up and down, "Okay, you kid, sometimes I want to split you open and see, what's wrong with you?" Are you so lucky?"
Dong Xuebin boasted: "That's who I am."
Luan Xiaoping patted her son and said, "Stop bragging and get up and eat quickly. It's cold."
During the meal, Dong Xuebin ate a little more because he was in a good mood. He finished two drawers of buns by himself. If Xie Huilan hadn't been losing weight and didn't want to eat more, this breakfast wouldn't have been enough.
"What happy event is this? Are you so happy?" Luan Xiaoping didn't understand.
Dong Xuebin chuckled and said, "You will know later, it's hard to say now."
But Luan Xiaoping doesn't understand, and others don't understand, such as people from the Xie family, such as Han Jing.
Just after breakfast, Han Jing called and asked if Dong Xuebin and Xie Huilan were still in the courtyard. After getting a positive answer, Han Jing put down what she was doing and came to Houhai.
"The in-laws are here?" Luan Xiaoping said with a smile.
"Here we come, where is Xiao Bin?" Han Jing said.
Dong Xuebin and Xie Huilan came out of the house, "Mom, I'm here."
Han Jing took Dong Xuebin to sit in the yard, and went straight to the topic and put down a youth newspaper on the table, "This is today's morning newspaper, did you see it?"
Dong Xuebin said: "I saw it."
"Why didn't you tell me about such a big thing earlier?" Han Jing complained.
Dong Xuebin smiled bitterly and said: "I didn't confirm it before. It was only confirmed early this morning. I also got the news on the phone."
Han Jing immediately said happily: "You kid, you are really lucky this time. You have caught up with such a good thing. I don't even know what to say. Well, this matter Your dad also knows. He has no other intention. He just wants me to tell you that if the historical value of this ancient tomb is really what the newspaper said, then your county can actually start preparing to apply for a county-level city from now on. Yes, I asked your dad what the odds were. Your dad didn’t say anything. He said there should be great hope. Haha, what do you think? "
Dong Xuebin coughed and said, "Mom, I think so too. In fact, Lao Zhang and I almost completed the application documents for county-level cities a few days ago."
Han Jing was stunned, "Is everything done?"
Dong Xuebin said yes, "I'll wait until the momentum is over to hand it over."
Han Jing couldn't laugh or cry and said: "You are really fast. Your dad and I were worried that you wouldn't expect it, so we said we were here to give you an idea."
Xie Huilan said with a smile: "What a thief he is. How can he not think of other things? How can he not think of things related to promotion and wealth? They have already thought about it."
Han Jing said with emotion: "To be honest, our Xiao Bin had the foresight. When he wanted to go to Jiaolin County, I didn't agree with it. I thought it was a downgrade. Now it seems that it is not a downgrade. The county party committee secretary has become the municipal party committee secretary. It is simply a demotion. He has reached the sky in one step, Xiaobin’s luck is really amazing.”
