The real archaeological excavation is far less exciting and interesting than imagined. To be precise, it is actually a very patient and passionate job, and this sense of consumption will continue to spread over time without any surprises. .
Every inch of cemetery soil must be carefully cleaned with a brush, and then passed through a sieve. The sifted soil must still be kept in a centralized place, and then screened again... This is how the sense of anticipation slowly disappears, until only boring and cumbersome remains.
Xu Tingsheng suggested several times: "Teacher, why don't we dig directly from the top and use an excavator...to lift off the entire roof of the tomb?"
Every time, Yan Zhenyu just looked at him and said, "I seem to regret it, can you stop calling me teacher?"
The progress of the project was slow. Before the gate of the tomb was opened, batch after batch of experts left one after another.
The members of the student press corps finished the early filming and began to arrange shifts. Most of the members of the press corps returned with the professors and experts from Yanjing to continue their already busy studies.
He Yutan has become very familiar with most of the experts over the past few days, especially those from Yanjing.
Xingchen kept two newly recruited female employees in the non-professional technical department this year. The reason is that they don't have boyfriends anyway, and they are far away from home, so it doesn't matter where they work. In addition, according to Lao He's explanation, their responsibilities are supplemented by coordination and mainly serving Xu Tingsheng.
When he said this, Lao He smiled ambiguously, and said, life is boring and lonely, why should Mr. Xu just take the opportunity to choose a personal secretary
In short, he really couldn't stay in this poor country any longer.
The rest of the staff returned to Shenghai Xingchen headquarters, and Lao He himself returned on the same plane with the experts and professors from Yanjing.
He said: "I can't wait to go to Panjiayuan to regain everything I have lost..."
Xu Tingsheng knew that he had prepared a large sum of money and was going to waste it. The fact is that in the field of antique collection, those who are always holding money and eager to sell are the most likely to be fooled, while those who can wait for opportunities and fate are relatively difficult to fool.
That's why upstarts are always the most popular in this industry, and the fastest in and out.
Wu Yuewei was one of the first three remaining members of the press corps. It is said that the reason was that she had already taken a lot of credits in advance. In addition, there is a senior senior, and Xiao Yanxu.
In the following days, when a female employee from Xingchen helped to pack clothes in Xu Tingsheng's room at night, her skirt was too short and she was wearing nothing but silk stockings, she turned her back to Xu Tingsheng, bent over and busy... She judged that the boss was lonely and unbearable , desperately seduced once, and then was transferred back to Shenghai.
From the beginning to the end of this little episode, neither side broke the word. Xu Tingsheng did not impose any other punishment on her.
The female employees didn't make it, but they came close. She made Xu Tingsheng realize one thing, that his will seemed to be getting weaker and weaker.
Perhaps it has something to do with being in a lonely and boring environment during this period of time. In the state of doing nothing, some instinctive needs began to ferment. Until this not-so-beautiful female employee left the station, Xu Tingsheng, who seemed unmoved on the surface, was actually thinking that maybe, without revealing himself, he could find such a woman who was only interested in interests to temporarily fill the emptiness. ,it is also fine.
If this thought and impulse had appeared two or three years earlier, Xu Tingsheng would probably be in the Sixth Court of Sangong by now.
On the other hand, Wu Yuewei kept an appropriate distance from Xu Tingsheng, carefully maintaining a relationship similar to ordinary friends who had known each other for many years, neither alienated nor overly close.
This made Xu Tingsheng feel comfortable, but one can imagine how much effort Wu Yuewei put in for this.
Xiao Yanxu didn't continue to cause trouble, this was enough to make Xu Tingsheng feel relieved.
The problem is that, despite all their hard work, the webcast of the tomb excavation got stuck after the initial short-lived popularity, with more and more impatience, more and more disappointment, complaints, doubts...
In the words of a netizen: "Even if you have a zongzi! The whole day is either local customs or customs, or piles of mud... what is this?!"
Wu Yuewei's senior sister couldn't bear the pressure, and began to suggest "fabricating" some rumors, such as taking a few photos of blurry figures at night and throwing them up without explaining.
Xu Tingsheng and the three members of the press team had two meetings, Weibo reports began to upload pictures of the four robbery holes found around the tomb.
The interest of netizens has finally come, all kinds of analysis, all kinds of deduction... One after another, wonderful tomb robbery stories are constantly and automatically generated.
The crisis has been temporarily lifted, but everyone knows that if this situation continues, it will definitely not last long.
In contrast, Yan Zhenyu's pressure is much greater. The old man, who had quit smoking for many years, asked Xu Tingsheng for cigarettes four times during this period, which were the four days when he discovered the four robbery holes outside.
The first two times were just one stick, the third time he finished smoking one and asked for another one, and the fourth time, he took most of Xu Tingsheng's remaining bags, and then sat alone beside the cleared mound. for more than two hours.
Xu Tingsheng didn't even know how to comfort him.
As far as he is concerned, staying at the excavation site is actually not of much help. Recently, Professor Yan has not even let him participate in the work of cleaning up the soil layer, because it is not detailed enough.
Therefore, apart from coordinating some problems, what Xu Tingsheng left behind was just a kind of self-escape and rest. Other than that, he just waited for the moment when the underground palace opened to see if there would be a result different from his previous life, a surprise.
The progress of the project in this life is much faster than in the previous life. On the day when the tomb door appeared, Xu Tingsheng stood beside Yan Zhenyu.
The old man's body was trembling slightly, and Xu Tingsheng could feel that the four burglary holes outside had raised Yan Zhenyu's worries to the highest point... Then, has the underground palace of the tomb been robbed, or has the tomb been invaded
Maybe it will be revealed soon.
In fact, Xu Tingsheng's inner tension was no less than Yan Zhenyu's. He has seen the situation in the previous life. In this life, he has protected and excavated in advance, whether the result is still the same, largely depends on this moment.
The tomb door of the underground palace opened, and a long tomb passage appeared.
"Let me see... Let me see... Fortunately, there is no mineral water bottle." Xu Tingsheng shouted excitedly in his heart.
That's all his level is, and he doesn't have the ability to make other judgments.
"At present, there seems to be no trace of theft, but I don't know what's inside..." Yan Zhenyu said next to him, and it could be heard that he was trying to suppress the excitement in his heart.
