Chapter 257 The Black Pottery Four Years Ago

In the courtyard of the capital, Shilao hung up his cell phone and walked into the house with a displeased expression on his face.There were several old people drinking tea in the living room, and one of them took a look at Shi Lao and laughed and said, "I told you a long time ago, that kid is very busy these days. The girl in my family even asked him out, but in the end I don’t have time. I don’t know why there are so many mundane things for a young man.”

Shi Yunli came out with a plate of dim sum and asked: "Grandpa, grandma asked Li Mo if he couldn't make it through the night, and if he came, he would prepare two more of his favorite dishes."

"I'm not coming, I'll save some trouble." Shi Lao said angrily, "When will your brother come back?"

"Called a few minutes ago and will be there around 05:30 in the evening."

"Where's your dad?"

"It should be about the same time, Grandpa, you also know that they have a lot of things to do."

"It's rare that you don't even go home after a period of rest, and you have to delay coming over until dinner. Bring the phone, and I'll urge your dad."

Shi Lao took the phone and got up and walked outside. After a while, he heard his majestic voice, and he scolded the other party directly. Then he walked away and didn't know what to say.

"One by one is outrageous."

"Old Shi, you are quite old, stop and stop, drink more tea to keep yourself healthy." A slightly fat old man said with a smile, "Just like our family, that brat only spends more than ten days a year. Staying in Kyoto, I spent the rest of the time tossing those broken stones. After a long time, I also figured it out, let him go."

"Old Qiu, it's easy for you to say, that grandson of your family has made a big fuss anyway, unlike our family who has achieved nothing."

The old poet sighed softly, every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite.

"Drink tea, drink tea, don't worry about the children and grandchildren, let's live a few more years."

On the other side of Yunshan, the village director quickly brought eight villagers around 40 years old, and they were paid [-] yuan for digging, which was three times better than going out to do odd jobs.

"Mr. Li, everyone is here, let's see how to start digging. The most important thing for a farmer is strength. If you have any requirements, just ask."

"Okay, I'll arrange it."

Li Mo saw that they brought a full range of tools, including shovels, digging shovels, and loads for moving the soil.He took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, gave each of them one first, and lit it conveniently.

These villagers have greatly increased their affection for Li Mo. This rich young man is good at doing things.Look at the cigarettes in this hand, each one is probably worth dozens of yuan, anyway, they have never seen such a golden package.

"Everyone, dig from this side first, with a diameter of six meters, and dig down to a depth of about three or four meters."

"Okay, leave this little work to us."

A villager exhaled a circle of smoke, walked to Li Mo with a shovel on his shoulders, and began to dig up the soil with rough and powerful movements. The other seven people each chose a place, and then slowly joined together.

The 17 people from Brown Bear's side have already come over. They are wearing uniforms and look powerful. They are all Lianjiazi.The villagers who saw this scene believed that the young man was a super rich man, otherwise why would he bring so many bodyguards on a trip.

"Boss, do we need to do it?"

"No need for now, wait until the situation is clear."

Eight people dug the soil, and it took more than two hours to dig three or four meters deep. A deep pit with a diameter of about six meters appeared in front of everyone. Fortunately, these villagers have experience, not digging vertically, but with certain Slope for easy entry and exit.

"Village director, please invite the villagers to cook some meals. It will be 50 yuan per person. The dishes will be richer, and the remuneration will be calculated separately."

Seeing that it was almost noon, Li Mo also asked everyone to do something.The village director was happy when he heard that this job can be done by his family. It's such a simple thing.

"I'll go back and invite everyone to cook. The Spring Festival has just passed, and there are still a lot of delicious meat dishes at home. I'm sure you'll be satisfied."

After Li Mozhi left him, he looked at the bottom of the pit, and suddenly shouted: "Okay, everyone, come up first."

"Mr. Li, do you want to continue this afternoon?"

"I don't need it for the time being. It's more than three meters deep now. I'll see if there is any water seepage tomorrow."

After Li Mo finished speaking, he walked towards the village with his hands behind his back, and if he dug further down, he would come across black pottery, and there were a lot of them. We will talk about it when Shibin arrives here tomorrow.

The meal at noon was indeed very rich, and there was also homemade liqueur, Li Mo didn't drink it, and the others naturally didn't know how to drink it either.After dinner, he chatted with the villagers for an hour or two before returning to the county seat. Naturally, he would not be stingy before leaving. The village director's family never closed their mouths.

The next day, before dawn, Li Mo was woken up by the phone ringing by the bedside. He picked it up and quickly connected it.

"Brother Bin, are you here?"

"The old man issued a death order, but I rushed over overnight. I said, brother Li, what kind of panacea are you selling in this gourd? The old man almost pointed a gun at my head."

"It's still an hour before dawn. That's good. I'll get up and help you make some buffet first, and I'll talk to you about some things alone."

"Okay, I'll wait for you."

The sky was bright, and Zhao Guangliang came to the hotel again in good spirits. Now that he had confidence, he contacted the superior alone last night, and reported what he saw and heard today, and also expressed his guess.There is likely to be a late Neolithic cultural site on the Yunshan side, and you can know the final result by going there again today.

It was clear that he had some sort of commitment from the leadership.

Sitting in Li Mo's car, Shi Bin revealed the car window and looked at the scenery outside and said: "This Yunshan Mountain is not a big place, but this river ditch is criss-crossed. When the flood arrives, this place should be a land of fish and rice, and the scenery should be good. "

"It's a pity that there are no tourism resources here. Otherwise, with such a land of fish and rice, it would be a bit tricky to revitalize the local economy."

Li Mo turned to look at Shi Bin and asked in surprise, "Do you still understand economics?"

"Look at your disbelief. To tell you the truth, I majored in this at the National Defense University, but I was more interested in firearms, so I took the postgraduate exam by myself."

Shibin is only 25 and six years old, and he is still very confident in his professional ability.

"Anyway, I don't understand, you can say whatever you like." Li Mo smiled slightly, and asked in a low voice, "Have you visited the restaurant business?"

"I've seen it three times, but I didn't go there. Every time I went, it was full, and I had to wait in line if I wanted to have a meal. But Brother Li, I really admire your head. Those dishes are really good. Eat, the satisfaction of diners is not 100%, but it is very close. For example, your spiced eggs, shit, to be honest, I have never eaten such delicious ones. That guy San Fat can sell a spiced egg for five yuan, every day There is also a limited supply, which makes many later diners often complain."

"Hahaha, this trick is called hunger marketing."

"I also heard from San Pang that you asked him to dig two hearth ovens in the backyard of the restaurant and prepare them for roasting pigs?"

"Well, when the weather gets warmer, I believe that the pig roast business can be operated independently. Brother Bin, just wait for the future to make a fortune."

"Hey, what's the use of making a fortune, the old man is watching closely. I will keep the money for my younger sister as a dowry in the future. Besides, what do I, a big man, want to do with so much money, and I can't spend much in a month. Let’s just talk about you, who are worth billions of dollars, but what is the difference between wearing clothes and an ordinary college student.”

"I just like to be quiet and not to be annoying."

The six cars arrived at Zhouqiao Village at around nine o'clock. The village director had been looking forward to it for a long time. When he saw the car parked on the side of the road, he rushed over with more than a dozen villagers.

"Mr. Li, good morning."

"morning."

Li Mo greeted him, and then walked directly to the pit. Naturally, there would be no water seepage, at least it was still the dry season.

"Mr. Li, everyone is ready, what do you think about digging today?"

"Don't worry, I'll have someone dig it down another meter or two. Brown bear, come here."

The brown bear had been instructed a long time ago to take a shovel from a villager and enter the pit. He dug down carefully. After about a dozen times, he paused and looked up at Li Mo.

"what's wrong?"

Li Mo asked intentionally.

"It's a little hard, like a stone." The brown bear shouted, and then slowly opened the soil layer with a shovel, revealing a black thing, which was shiny under the sunlight.

"Boss, it doesn't look like a stone, come down and have a look."

The village director was surprised, and walked to the bottom of the pit with Li Mo.

"Get out of the way, let me see what it is."

Li Mo carefully cleaned the surrounding soil layer with a shovel, and the black thing exposed most of its volume, which looked like a big jar.When the whole black clay pot was pulled out from the soil, Li Mo visually measured that the black pottery was about [-] centimeters high, the mouth of the pot was about [-] centimeters, and the bottom was about [-] centimeters. The position near the upper mouth of the pottery was due to two ears that functioned like handles.

In addition, the surface of the entire black clay pot is not smooth, but shallow ribs appear, which seems to be a black pottery pot with a special shape.

The black clay pot was full of mud, but this weight was nothing to Li Mo. He came up to the top with both hands holding the pot, and someone had already brought water to clean the soil on the surface.When the soil on the surface was almost cleaned, under the sunlight, the whole clay pot reflected an indescribable black luster.

The black pottery from more than 4000 years ago finally reappeared. It is primitive and simple, and it seems to see the traces of time on it.

Seeing this scene, Li Mo was very moved.Yes, there seemed to be a warm current in his heart. Seeing this black clay pot, he seemed to have returned to prehistoric times, back to the world more than 4000 years ago, and saw the ancestors using their wisdom to create the most beautiful artwork in the world.

"Why is there a clay pot buried in the ground?" The village director couldn't see the name, so he watched it for a while and muttered a few words.

Zhao Guangliang squatted beside Li Mo, suppressing his excitement, and asked in a low voice, "Mr. Li, are you sure now?"

"Well, my preliminary judgment is that this black pottery pot is indeed from the Neolithic Age, and judging from the shape of the pot, it should be used to hold water. You see, this black pot has a kind of pure beauty, and it can still be preserved after being buried in the ground for more than 4000 years. It is a blessing for our descendants to maintain such a good appearance and to be able to see its birth up close."

Zhao Guangliang said excitedly: "I will report to the superior immediately."

"Don't worry, let's have a look at some more unearthed." Li Mo stood up and nodded towards Shibin, and he would take out his mobile phone and go to the side to make a call.

"Brown bear, carefully clean out the soil in the clay pot, everyone protect this place."

As soon as the brown bear waved his hand, he saw eighteen bodyguards starting to move around, but they didn't stop the villagers from watching. Up to now, they didn't understand what the black pot was.

Li Mo went down to the pit himself again, not caring about getting his clothes dirty, and the poisonous snake assisted him.Under the perspective of his different pupils, he carefully dug up the soil layer next to him with a shovel, and soon came across another one.He threw the shovel aside and slowly cleaned it with a small steel shovel brought from the county seat.

Another black clay pot with two ear buckles was unearthed. Unfortunately, the spout has cracks, but it has not been completely broken.

"Venomous snake, don't clean up this one. After sending it up, it will be protected temporarily, and we will talk about it when the experts from Kyoto come over."

As soon as Zhang Guangliang heard that he was going to invite experts from the capital, it further showed that the underground was not easy.

Two people cleaned the pit until noon, and unearthed a total of [-] prismatic amphora black pottery pots, [-] ordinary pottery pots, and [-] black pottery bowls. Three of them have been torn apart, but the fragments are still there and can be repaired later. .

These 34 pieces of black pottery are not all. Only one-third of this six-meter-diameter pit has been cleared, and there are many more in the depths.At least under the perspective of different pupils, so many black and white halos are transmitted one after another.

"Boss, there are a lot of police cars coming outside."

A bodyguard came down and said.

"It's okay, my brother recruited people, this area must be protected immediately."

Li Mo straightened up. The cleaning speed is too slow. It took half a day to clean up more than 30 pieces, and they were only dug out from the soil. Later, they have to be cleaned one by one, numbered, protected, archived, researched, etc. Wait.

"It seems that we should call in the large troops as soon as possible." Li Mo said to himself. He thought this was a large tomb, and the unearthed black pottery from the Neolithic Age was at most one or two hundred pieces. The noble status of the owner of the tomb.

But now it’s different. Professor Zhang Hao from Tsinghua University alone can’t do it all. What’s more, the excavation of a newly discovered late Neolithic cultural site is a huge project and takes a long time.Without the cooperation of the team, progress will be very slow.

Moreover, the significance of discovering the cultural sites of the Neolithic Age is extraordinary. It can no longer be described in terms of value. It represents the highest wisdom crystallization of the ancestors of a nation.

When Li Mo walked out of the pit, a bodyguard brought a bucket of clean water in a small bucket. After washing his hands, Li Mo took out a mobile phone from his pocket, first took a dozen photos, and then sent them to Professor Zhu Changping one by one.

Within a minute, Professor Zhu Changping called, and he said in a serious tone: "Xiao Mo, besides these discoveries, are there any other? Have you found any bones, such as those of humans or animals?"

"I haven't found it so far, teacher. I have a guess in my heart. This should not be a tomb."

Hearing the rubbing sound of chairs moving on the other end of the phone, Professor Zhu Changping raised his voice and said, "You mean that there is probably a Neolithic cultural site there?"

"It's very likely. I'll continue to clean it up in the afternoon. Teacher, you have to be prepared. If it's really a newly discovered cultural site, I'm afraid it won't work just to send those young teachers over."

"I understand what you mean. From now on, you can send me photos of newly unearthed ancient relics in time at any time, and I will immediately contact the leaders of the school and the school. If it is really possible to judge that it is a cultural site from the Neolithic Age, then there is no need for it." There is no doubt that we, Beijing University, must preside over the excavation.”

"it is good."
