Chapter 414

But it was indeed mud.

He gave it a hard stomp, cracking it straight open.

This was actually a clay brick!

This strange scene also attracted Director Lin over.

"Fang Yang, what is this?"

Fang Yang shook his head: "I don't know, it looks like a clay brick."

"A clay brick? Are there ancient buildings in this area?"

"Doesn't look like it!"

No one knew the answer to this question, and Fang Yang didn't either.

He simply returned to the excavator to continue digging.

As it turned out, after digging a few more times, he unearthed identical clay bricks.

After clearing them away, there was nothing special about them.

It left the few of them completely baffled.

But when the shovel bucket dug down to a depth of over two meters.

Everyone gradually realized something was wrong.

At first, these clay bricks were dug up sporadically.

But below, it was all clay bricks.

It was just like a house.

Could it be that there really were ancient buildings down here?

A house built of clay bricks?

Director Lin and Lao Hu were already getting excited at this point.

They hadn't expected a surprise right after finishing their meal.

In their view, whenever Fang Yang dug up an anomaly, something was bound to come out.

Of course, it could also be a natural disaster.

However, there was a high probability that these ancient clay bricks would lead to the discovery of cultural relics.

Sure enough.

Just after the next scoop went down.

The ground suddenly showed signs of collapse.

At a depth of less than three meters, a dirt cave appeared!

The entrance was very irregular, shaped overall like a triangle.

Looking down from above, the space inside wasn't large.

It was likely caused by the accumulation of soil over many years.

Director Lin suddenly exclaimed: "I know! No wonder, no wonder, this is a cellar!"

"A cellar?" Lao Hu was stunned for a moment.

"Yes!"

Director Lin replied with a smile: "You young people might not know."

"In the past, almost every household in the countryside would dig a cellar."

"Cellars are underground, warm in winter and cool in summer, and are great for storing things, like wine, sugarcane, grain, etc..."

"Then they would cover the top of the cellar with a thick layer of reeds or straw, mainly for waterproofing."

"But most of the time, the soil layer was just smoothed out to serve as walls; a cellar made of clay bricks like this is very rare!"

"It definitely took a wealthy family to have the means to build one."

"Judging by the depth Fang Yang dug, this cellar is definitely not from modern times, otherwise it wouldn't be buried so deep!"

"In my opinion... there might be ancient artifacts or something down there!!"

Director Lin became more excited as he spoke; if Fang Yang weren't still here.

He would have wanted to jump into the cellar to see if there was anything inside.

Although Fang Yang was young, he had also seen cellars.

When he was a child, his uncle in the countryside grew sugarcane.

Every year, the harvested sugarcane would be stored inside; the longer it stayed, the sweeter it got.

After hearing Director Lin's analysis, he also curiously got out of the vehicle and walked to the edge of the hole to look down.

He saw some white and blue porcelain vaguely visible in the pitch-black hole!

Porcelain!!

Fang Yang's expression shifted!

Could it really be cultural relics?

This was too ridiculous.

The moment the cameraman adjusted the camera to aim at it, the scene in the darkness was seen clearly.

"Holy crap! So much porcelain, all bottles and jars!"

Once these words were out.

All the archaeologists who were busy working all looked over in shock and suspicion.

Director Lin jumped over to look directly.

It didn't matter if he didn't look, but once he did.

He was scared out of his wits.

"Blue and white porcelain!!!"

【Popularity】 +1+1+1+1....

——【Damn, so much blue and white porcelain, it can't be fake, right? If this is real, it's a bit exaggerated; jars, bottles, water pots, bowls, plates, large platters, everything is there, even brush holders, it feels like a set!】

——【If someone else had dug this up, I would say it's fake, but since Fang Yang dug it up, I know it must be real without even looking. With so much blue and white porcelain, the local cultural relics bureau is going to die laughing; it's truly a case of 'no business for a year, but one job feeds you for a lifetime!'】

——【I'm just puzzled, this is all intact blue and white porcelain, why put it all in a cellar? Could it be like yesterday, where relic traffickers secretly stored it here? If it were a wealthy family with good conditions, there would be no need to put it in a cellar, right?】

——【Not all blue and white porcelain is valuable; there are expensive ones and cheap ones, don't get too excited. Although the quantity and variety here are quite complete, I personally feel their value still can't compare to that bronze bell from earlier!】

Although the cellar was relatively well-preserved.

There was still a lot of soil piled up inside.

Causing the lower halves of the blue and white porcelain to be buried in the dirt.

Some could only be seen by their bottle necks.

Fang Yang's system didn't show exactly what they were either.

He looked at Director Lin and said: "I can't dig any further back here; if I keep digging, it's easy to damage the porcelain!"

Director Lin nodded: "I'll call them over to excavate immediately!"

With his order.

All the archaeological team members put down their work and came over to excavate.

For Director Lin, prioritizing the issue on Fang Yang's side was the most important thing.

The other side had already been dug out, it wasn't going anywhere.

So when dozens of people gathered around with small shovels to dig the soil.

The efficiency was no slower than Fang Yang's excavator.

But because this was a cellar, the bottom was suspended.

They could only dig from the surroundings.

If we accidentally dig too deep and smash the porcelain underneath, that would be a joke.

Under everyone's efforts, in just one hour.

The soil above the porcelain was dug away.

When the blue and white porcelain below was exposed to everyone's eyes.

Everyone was invigorated.

Director Lin selected five veterans to be specifically responsible for clearing the soil around the blue and white porcelain.
