antique masters in modern times

A week passed, and after being reprimanded countless times by the instructor, the military training was finally over.

Because of the dual effects of exercise and food, Yan You lost a lot of weight.His already thin body was now like a telegraph pole, and he couldn't find half a piece of extra flesh all over his body.Fortunately, he has a well-proportioned frame, and because of his temperament, he is so thin that he looks more scholarly, like a green bamboo volume, without opening it, there is a faint clearness of bamboo branches and plum blossoms.

Although he was severely beaten by the instructor, Yanyou still felt that the super training of military training can hone people's willpower.However, he prefers to find another way to hone his skills, and he doesn't want to continue at all.

Because he didn't want to see his distressed appearance, when Wei Changhua brought the daily necessities over a few days ago, Yan You asked him to pass it on to him, and refused to let anyone visit him on the pretext of being too tired from training.

As a result, when he returned to the dormitory of the ironworks with the change of clothes he had accumulated for several days, he was drowned out by howling as soon as he got downstairs.

"Yanzi, why are you acting like this?" Chang Hongsheng, who just got off work, was distressed: "Are you going to school or doing coolies? You are almost out of shape. You are so weak. Mom said, let her cook some soybeans and stewed pig's trotters for you."

Zhu Dao, who has been helping the Yan Family’s supervisor and came here to explain the progress of the project, also grinned: "Brother Yan, the teachers are so unreasonable. They know you are not physically fit, but they still practice you to death. It’s only been a few days. , the chin is sharp enough to pick snail shells. You can eat more fat later to make up for it."

Murong Hui was even more regretful: "Xiaoyan, I would have asked Mr. Ying to ask for leave for you if I knew about it." After speaking, he touched his two paws from his shoulders to his waist, claiming that he wanted to measure how much Xiaoyan had lost.

Ignoring the fact that his master was taking advantage of the money, the scholar sang a small tune in northern Shaanxi with deep resentment, "Your sister is haggard, and my brother's heart hurts", which he sang very affectionately.

Yan You is a strong person, although he knows that all his friends are well-intentioned, but he still can't help being weak in the left and right, and his face is getting more and more sad.The crowd didn't realize it, and they still condemned the teacher with one tongue, blaming them for taking a frail scholar to trouble him.

Just when Yanyou was about to run out of patience, Grandma Luo showed up in time wiping her hands, and explained in one sentence: "What are you doing here? Come up to eat quickly. Ah Yan, grandma made braised pork and lotus root ribs, eat more Son."

It's still grandma.Yan You shook off the eyesless bad friends, and helped her grandma upstairs.

Although Grandma Luo's dishes are not as distinctive as Yanyou's, they taste really good.With the addition of four young men, it was the time when the appetite was at its best, and the food was wiped out in less than half an hour.

After clearing the dining table and washing the dishes, when a few people were starving with teacups in their hands, another visitor came, and it was Tu Zhi.

"I couldn't find you in the dormitory. It turned out that I ran home for the dental festival. It's a pity that I came a step late and didn't taste your family's craftsmanship."

As a joke, Tu Zhi announced: "Last month on the outskirts of Tongcheng, the local villagers unintentionally dug up an ancient tomb while excavating stones. The main tomb has not yet been opened. According to the devices leaked from the companion tomb, it is suspected that it is The tomb of the Han Dynasty. According to the photos sent back by the local department, the specification is estimated to be at least a prince. We have obtained the qualification for protective excavation from the higher-level department, and now the preliminary preparations are almost ready. Next week, I will Lead the team with a teacher who specializes in the Han Dynasty, and set off to start the field work. I have obtained the permission of the old man Ying, and you will go with us."

Tongshi is not far from Sijiu City, and the larger local policies are all influenced by the city.In addition, archeology has just regained some vitality these years, and it is still out of reach. It needs funds but no funds, needs talents but no talents, and there is no phenomenon of "competing for merit" later.Since Peking University was willing to step forward to take over the job, no one would come to compete for it out of emotion and reason.

Hearing this, Yan You was startled, not because he was "expropriated", but because of the identity of the owner of the tomb: "My lord? What kind of lord will be buried in Tongzhou?"

Forty-nine cities have been the capital of China since the Ming Dynasty.Dating back to Han Dynasty, this place was relatively remote.Moreover, the general royal family is buried in the royal tomb after death, and the emperor will not enter the royal tomb unless they commit a serious crime.But Yanyou, who thinks he has a good history, can't remember which prince of the Han Dynasty was buried in Tongzhou.

Tu Zhi said: "This is also our strange place. But so far no experts have been to the scene in person. Everything is based on the reports and photos of the local department. The conclusions drawn from a comprehensive analysis may not necessarily contain fallacies. Once unfolded Field work, I believe the doubts will be solved soon.”

Yan You nodded, and only then did he think about his own affairs: "Teacher Tu, did Mr. Ying know about this on the first day of school?"

"Of course. The old man not only promised me to take you out for homework this time, but also promised that in addition to completing the courses he required, I can also teach you as you like. In this way, although I do not have the title of a tutor, I actually do. It’s like accepting you as a student. Apart from bronze ware, I have the most experience in fieldwork in the department, so you can learn it slowly in the next four years. You must learn well, and don’t lose my face!”

As he spoke, Tu Zhi gradually suppressed his smile, until the last sentence was even a bit harsh.

If there are ignorant students, they may be overwhelmed.But Yanyou knows that learning is not easy. In the past, masters with unique skills never accepted apprentices easily. Many people dream of it, but they can't learn it even if they break their heads.Now that the teacher is willing to take the initiative to teach himself, Yanyou naturally wants it.

"Teacher Tu, please rest assured that I will do my best to study."

Yan You didn't have fancy rhetoric, but the firmness in his words was clearly revealed.

Tu Zhi nodded in satisfaction, and sighed: "The talk is up front, don't blame me for forcing you too hard. Now there are too few newcomers in this major in China, and there are so many things to do that you can't take care of them at all. I’m almost forty this year. If I don’t cultivate a few successors, when the seniors get old and we get old too, who can we count on in the future? You are a good seedling. Except for Mr. Ying, other teachers also hold you in high esteem. I have great expectations, and I hope you can beat us in the future."

Yanyou is also well aware of the difficulties faced by domestic antiquities: since the most humiliating period in China’s history over a hundred years ago, antiquities have suffered unprecedented disasters, with more destruction than protection, and driven by the temptation of interests, treasures have been continuously lost from the territory.He thought he couldn't save everything, but he still wanted to do his best to do what he could.

"I will do my best to live up to the expectations of the teachers."

Tu Zhi smiled gratifiedly, told Yan You a few more words, and hurried away in the evening.The tombs of this trip may be the most amazing discovery in recent years. As one of the team leaders, he dare not be careless, and there is still a lot of preparatory work to be done.

After the teacher left, Chang Hongsheng and Zhu Dao, who had listened with their ears closed for a long time but still vaguely understood, immediately competed with each other to ask the bottom line.

At first, Yanyou still had to answer questions, but when Xiaochang asked with a look of yearning whether he would dig up a female corpse like the one in Hanmawangdui, he realized that the two of them were just asking for fun, and then Resignedly said: "I don't know anything yet, so I can't tell. Don't worry, if you really make a major discovery, it will definitely appear on the radio in the newspaper. Just watch the news."

"Okay, then you have to open the back door and let me take a closer look."

Chang Hongsheng happily left after getting Yanyou's guarantee.In the past few days, he has also been helping on the construction site of the Yan family, moving bricks and cement, and Zhu Daoliangzi and the others are already familiar with each other.Influenced by Liang Zi, he also became obsessed with football.Today is the day of their football team training, and he doesn't want to be late.

Nothing happened for the time being, Yan You wanted to go to the construction site, but Zhu Dao firmly stopped him: "You have been tired for several days, take a rest first, and do your school work, just leave it to us here. Don't you still trust me and Liangzi?"

After he said that, Yan You had no choice but to give in: "Is the money enough?"

Before school started, he forgot to sleep and eat, and helped Chen Boyi restore nearly ten antiques in one go. He paid a small advance of 1000 yuan and handed them all over to Zhu Dao.Let him watch the payment of materials and settlement of wages.

"It's enough to build only two rooms and a bathroom. Now the progress is very fast. In half a month or so, you will be able to move to a new house."

As a newlywed, Zhu Dao couldn't bear to neglect his wife.After the meal, when the words were brought, they also took their leave and left.

The two loudest people left one after the other, and it was only then that Yan You noticed that Murong Hui seemed to be unusually silent tonight.Except for the moment when we first met, I didn't talk much after that.

After getting along for many days, he has classified this friend with a unique personality into the category that he can make close friends with.Sitting next to him immediately, he handed over a ripe plum: "What's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing." Murong Hui came back to his senses as if he had suddenly woken up: "I knew that Elder Ying had made a decision, but suddenly something happened at hand... It's a pity that I can't go with you."

He is an exchange student and does not have to participate in military training.During these days, I often came and went in and out of Ying's hometown, so I knew about it early on.Excavating ancient tombs and traveling with geese, no matter which one is very attractive to him.It's a pity that something happened at this juncture——

But Yan You misunderstood his meaning: "Did you get any new news from what Wang Bao told you? Is it related to Yinglao?"

"No, I followed the addresses and phone numbers that Wang Bao said, and finally found an office near the airport. Unfortunately, it was already empty. I contacted the owner, but the other party didn't even know when the tenant was. Those who left didn’t know, saying that this person had paid the rent for five years in one go, and this year was only the third year, and it was far from the time to renew the lease, so he didn’t pay attention to his whereabouts at all. For the sake of paying the money quickly , the landlord only left a name, did not look at the certificate. In addition, the area is sparsely populated, the person renting the house either leaves early and returns late, or stays at night all day long, and the neighbors hardly have any impression of him."

"Being so cautious, it seems that he is probably the middleman Wang Bao mentioned. But why did he disappear suddenly? Do you know we are looking for him?"

"These questions can probably only be asked in person."

Speaking of serious business, Murong Hui changed from his usual laughing and joking, his face sank like water, and he looked extraordinarily calm and wise: "Although his hands and feet are clean, but now the domestic communication industry has just started, and many places are not in place. According to one of the numbers, I tracked down the A company established in Guangzhou has exactly the same name as the signboard on that office. I think he may have gone to Guangzhou. Even if he didn’t go, we should go there to check the details of this company.”

"Guangzhou?" Yan You has only been to a few provinces in the north, and he has not been to such a far place. He frowned when he heard it: "I am not familiar with the place, so it will be quite troublesome to find out. And now that we have started school, there is no way to find it." Go blank. How about—"

He was just about to suggest that Mr. Ying should be investigated, but Murong Hui waved his hand: "It's okay, I'll just ask my old friend to check over there. It just so happens that my family... also has something to do over there. I'm dealing with it , so I can’t go to Tongshi.”

When talking about "something", Murong Hui's expression could not help showing a little bitterness: This is the second thing that my uncle asked him to go back to China to investigate carefully. I thought it would be as easy as thanking the second child, but I didn't expect that the more I searched , the more frightened I was!

Fourth Uncle, Fourth Uncle, if you really stepped into the restricted area that Grandpa repeatedly ordered you not to set foot in, as my uncle said, then you are really a sinner of the Murong family.

Although he disliked the fourth uncle who was being coaxed around by the fourth sister-in-law more and more, there was an unbroken blood relationship after all.If fourth uncle really did something stupid that caused public outrage, as a relative, he would also lose face.

However, perhaps the fourth uncle would not think so.Judging from all the information he has received, he simply regards this as a shortcut to get rich, and he has no mercy!

Thinking of this, Murong Hui's expression became colder.It wasn't until he heard Yan You's worried question that he smiled in disguise and stuffed the plums into his mouth indiscriminately.

The taste is very sour.
