Chapter 114

Clang~~

Hit a rock again!

The foreman completely lost his temper this time: "You, you, you... and you still say it's just bad luck!!"

Fang Yang quickly joked with a laugh: "Don't be anxious, maybe it's just a rock. Let me try digging from another angle, here I go~~~"

Clang~~

Foreman: "..."

Cameraman: "..."

Fang Yang was a bit stubborn: "I don't believe it, I'm digging again!"

Pfft~~

"Digging again!"

Clang~

The foreman was already numb.

He didn't even want to talk anymore.

Anyone with eyes could see there was definitely something down there.

And it was something big.

The crowd around them all became restless, each pulling out their phones to start recording videos, all focusing their attention here.

And the netizens in the livestream were already cracking up.

——【I've discovered that every time he gets cocky, he's guaranteed to dig something up.】

——【Hilarious, he probably doesn't even believe it's just a matter of luck anymore.】

——【Praying for the foreman's psychological shadow area; if nothing goes wrong, work here should be stopping soon.】

——【That stubborn look just now was exactly like someone who stepped in poop and refuses to believe it, so they step on it a few more times to see if it's soft.】

——【By the way, what exactly is under there? It feels huge. It shouldn't be a bomb again, right?】

——【God knows what it is. When Fang Yang digs for things, don't guess, just watch. There will always be surprises.】

Fang Yang was already feeling hopeless; he had clearly seen a crow cawing when he left the house this morning, and now he was told to dig, dig, dig!

What kind of situation is this? His face was slapped way too quickly.

Through those few digs just now, he had roughly determined the situation below.

Surrounded by stones, with wood in the middle.

This feeling!

He had no idea what it was.

To ensure he wouldn't damage whatever was below.

He moved the shovel down gently, and as soon as he felt resistance, he immediately stopped to clear away the dirt bit by bit.

A moment later, a rectangular wooden board appeared before everyone's eyes.

The cameraman exclaimed: "A coffin!"

The foreman saw it too, his face ashen, muttering to himself: "Bombs, cultural relics, now we've got the whole set! And you still say you aren't digging!"

Fang Yang looked at the coffin before him, feeling both amused and like crying; could he be any more unlucky?

This was his first time digging up a coffin.

But the most urgent task now was to call and notify the Cultural Relics Bureau to come over.

As a professor at the Academy of Archaeology, he naturally had to call Qin Lao as well.

After finishing the phone call, he sat quietly in the driver's cab waiting.

The foreman was staring fixedly at Fang Yang the whole time.

It made him feel uneasy, so he quickly turned his head and, to ease the awkwardness, took the initiative to talk to the cameraman: "How about it, is my earth-digging technique showy?"

The cameraman nodded: "Your technique for digging things up is even more impressive!"

"Can you even talk? I'm considering not taking you along to mooch a meal at the police station tonight!"

"No, no... brother, you are just a serious excavator operator!"

Before Fang Yang could speak, the foreman on the side suddenly interjected: "Young man, touch your slightly sagging conscience and ask it if it hurts!"

As soon as these words were out, there was a burst of laughter all around.

The cameraman's face turned bright red with embarrassment.

Fang Yang felt a bit uncomfortable too; even with his back to the foreman, he could feel the murderous intent in that gaze.

Fortunately, twenty minutes later, it was Director Xu and Dai Ju from the Cultural Relics Bureau who arrived.

Following closely behind were Qin Lao and Principal Kong.

As well as a group of staff members behind them.

After everyone arrived, they all greeted Fang Yang one after another.

Director Xu was the most enthusiastic: "Fang Yang, what good treasure did you dig up today? There are hundreds of experts excavating in the river over at Xihe right now, and they're busy as can be!"

Fang Yang was stunned: "So many people?"

"Yes, the whole river is full of cultural relics; currently, over 2,000 items have been unearthed. This is all thanks to you!"

Dai Ju on the side also nodded with a smile: "Don't worry, the 5 million I promised you last night will be paid in full, not a penny less!"

When this was said, the people around gasped.

"5 million, he's rich!"

"Is money really that easy to make?"

"Look at what he dug up—treasure! Treasure that only exists in TV shows."

Even Qin Lao and Principal Kong on the side looked incredulous.

Dai Ju saw them both at a glance and greeted them with a smile: "Qin Lao, I didn't expect you to come too. Principal Kong, how do you have time to come to a place like this?"

"Fang Yang is a professor at our university; since he discovered the treasure, I naturally have to come and see!"

"What? What did you say? He's a professor at your university?"

"That's right. Just because he's an expert at your Archaeology Department doesn't mean he can't be a professor at our university, right? Let me tell you, he's not just an ordinary guest professor; he's a professor I paid 2 million to hire!"

Dai Ju was completely dumbfounded.

He never expected Fang Yang to be a professor, and even more absurdly, the kind you have to pay to hire.

How old is he anyway?

This is simply a monster!

To ease the awkwardness, Qin Lao quickly interrupted everyone: "Let's see what exactly was dug up first!"

"Right, right, Qin Lao is right, let's go take a look together!"

Fang Yang stood to the side smiling; it was quite interesting to watch these people bicker.

Several people observed the coffin on the ground carefully, while the accompanying staff were cleaning the mud and dust off the coffin.

The coffin didn't know how many years it had been through; the material was almost rotting, and it looked very ordinary.

A rectangular wall was built around it with stones.

The entire tomb chamber was only slightly larger than the coffin.

The first to speak was Qin Lao: "Judging by the method of burial and the appearance of the coffin, I suspect it is an ancient tomb from the Western Han Dynasty, over 2,000 years old!"

70. Mound-style burial tomb, opening the coffin on-site! (Please subscribe!)

Everyone was shocked and nodded one after another.

But they were also a bit nervous, because there is a saying in the archaeological world.

Nine out of ten Han tombs are empty!

Literally, it means that most tombs from the Han Dynasty are empty.

This is a very helpless reality, and the reason for this situation has a lot to do with the customs and habits of the Han Dynasty.

Thick burials were generally popular in the Han Dynasty; when powerful and wealthy people passed away, they would usually place a large number of burial objects in the tomb.

And because of the long passage of time, every dynasty had tomb robbers, and Han tombs naturally became their favorites.

In the past few decades, many ancient Han tombs discovered by archaeological experts have had traces of tomb robber activity.
