Chapter 179: Asked You to Film a Dating Variety Show, Yet You Shocked Official Institutions??

~5 min read 879 words

Hearing Qin Feng's words.

Reba, who had already intended to leave.

And Uncle Yu, who was carrying a bottle of 'Old Village Chief' liquor in his hand.

All turned around.

Moreover, based on Reba's understanding of Qin Feng.

His serious expression didn't seem like he was joking?

Reba placed her small backpack basket on the ground and then asked, "Qin Feng, are you not joking?" The next second, Qin Feng held up a bottle cap.

Reba:......

She huffed indignantly, stomped her foot, and said, "I knew you were just playing tricks again!"

Qin Feng replied, "I'm not talking about this bottle cap; come over and take a look."

The audience in the live stream was dumbfounded.

After all, they had been teased by Qin Feng too many times before.

They could no longer distinguish which of his sentences was true~

-- 【Could he have really discovered something incredible?】

-- 【It must be another stunt for the show! I won't fall for it again~】

-- 【It's just an ordinary forest patrol routine; how could there be a major discovery?】

-- 【Exactly! Uncle Yu has worked in this tropical rainforest for so many years; if there were anything valuable, he would have found it long ago.】 -- 【Qin Feng doesn't seem to be joking; I'm not sure, let's watch a bit longer.】

Uncle Yu stepped forward.

He glanced at the soil that Qin Feng had dug up slightly.

His single sentence startled both Reba and the million viewers!

"This doesn't look like a stone from the rainforest," Uncle Yu said, frowning.

Just now, Qin Feng had intended to use the axe in his hand.

To fill in the messy pit he had dug.

But instead, he hit something hard deeper down—a stone.

Moreover, it was a stone slab!

Its surface texture was rather black, indeed very different from the gray stones found in the rainforest.

Previously, Qin Feng had acquired the ability to appraise and appreciate antiques.

After a brief identification, the information he could obtain was very limited: this was a piece of black volcanic basalt.

There were slight traces of artificial chiseling on its surface.

In short.

This was a stone that inherently held little value.

However, the chisel marks on its surface could endow it with significant value, though this could not be specifically quantified.

After the previous experience with the 'Old Village Chief' liquor bottle.

Reba's little heart, which longed for sudden wealth, had been thoroughly broken~

She asked tentatively, "Could it possibly be a reinforced concrete slab?"

Uncle Yu shook his head and said, "There has been no construction work in this area for decades; who would pour a concrete slab in the middle of a rainforest?" Leaving aside the curiosity of the million viewers in the live stream.

Qin Feng, Reba, and Uncle Yu were also very curious.

After confirming that the stone slab was not large, Qin Feng dug it out.

It was a stone tablet only slightly larger than a keyboard.

Its thickness was just a tiny bit greater than the width of a hand.

There were traces of chiseling and polishing on its surface.

But there were no characters, patterns, totems, or anything of the sort.

The somewhat expectant expression Reba had earlier vanished again!

"Isn't this just a relatively neat stone? Perhaps it was left behind by indigenous people from a very, very long time ago?" Reba guessed. Uncle Yu remained as calm as ever.

First, it wasn't jade; second, it wasn't gold; third, it wasn't an antique utensil.

It was hard for Uncle Yu not to remain calm.

He said half-jokingly, "Could it be a tombstone?"

Reba said, "Qin Feng, is there a possibility that Uncle Yu is right?"

Qin Feng didn't know what this thing was either at the moment.

When he flipped the small stone tablet over, he discovered that there were actually patterns on it!

There were about several dozen small patterns.

Arranged neatly like pictographic characters.

The irregular small patterns were composed of various lines such as triangles and circles.

They were crooked and twisted, and weren't even Chinese oracle bone script.

Too abstract.

Completely incomprehensible.

Qin Feng snapped several photos with a click-clack-click.

Then he buried the small stone tablet back.

Reba's face was full of question marks.

"Qin Feng, you're burying it back already?" she asked.

Uncle Yu had little interest in the stone slab; those jumbled characters were still unreadable.

Qin Feng washed his hands in a small puddle nearby.

He replied, "You've guessed this might be a tombstone. If the tombstone is this shabby, can you really expect to get rich by grave robbing?"

As he spoke, Qin Feng muttered, "No offense intended. Goodbye."

Uncle Yu glanced at the sky and said, "Let's go back. It might just be some kind of prank."

--【Leaving already? I'm curious about the text on it. Maybe it's not text at alloooooo】

--【Clearly, Brother Feng isn't interested in grave robbing.】

--【He almost single-handedly skewed the tone of the dating variety show~】

--【I'm not talented, but I happen to specialize in Ancient Chinese Paleography at Qingbei University. This slab is just scribbled on; it doesn't resemble oracle bone script or bronze script.】

--【Could it be foreign writing??? Has anyone from abroad ever come to Hainan Island???】
