Chapter 420
Everyone was digging and digging in the dirt with a nervous mood.
Like before, although it was slower than the excavator.
But with dozens of people digging together, the overall speed was not slower than the excavator at all.
Watching a huge deep pit appear on the flat ground again.
One meter..
Two meters...
Three meters..
"Dug it up! I dug it up!"
"Damn, everyone come help together!"
【Popularity】 +1+1+1+1....
—【I went online and searched, this stone is incredible. It looks like an ordinary stone with some characters engraved on it, but the experience of these stones is really too legendary. Fang Yang is right, it is a history book of Chinese history!】
—【Is it that evil? Is it that awesome? Why have I never heard of it before? Could it be even more awesome than the Lanting Preface dug up yesterday?】
—【The Lanting Preface is crushed into slag compared to it. The Lanting Preface represents an industry and an era. But these stone drums represent the history of China. What is greater than the whole country? Let me put it this way: these stone drums are even older than the Imperial Seal.】
—【Then aren't we going to witness the birth of a national treasure again today? I thought the Jingyun Bronze Bell was awesome enough, I didn't expect the big move to be here.】
—【So excited, the treasures of our China have reappeared in the world. Sure enough, if we keep letting Fang Yang dig, the legendary cultural relics that have disappeared from our country will return to people's eyes. By then, our China will be the ancient civilization that all foreigners envy.】
Soon, the second stone drum was completely born.
With the second one, everyone was full of motivation.
Because they knew that there was a high probability that there were more below.
Maybe even all ten drums were here.
Because the whole piece of land had been dug very deep.
Everyone was still digging until it was dark at night.
But no one shouted that they were tired.
Even the mayor went into battle himself to help dig.
As long as you have a shovel, it's not a big problem.
But if ten Chencang Stone Drums were dug up here.
Although they couldn't keep them, after today.
This place would become famous, and the eyes of the whole country would look here.
By then, whether it's tourism or business investment, it would reach an unprecedented level.
Thinking of this, the mayor's small shovel swung even harder.
But this speed was still not enough.
Director Lin knew that Fang Yang would definitely leave tomorrow.
So he temporarily mobilized more than 50 people to come and help dig together.
This was equivalent to 100 people digging here.
That scene, digging with lights at night, could be described as spectacular.
Fortunately, this side was relatively remote.
There were no residents nearby.
Only some workers.
They thought they were working overnight here and didn't intend to come over to join the fun at all.
As the saying goes, many hands make light work.
Soon, the third stone drum was discovered.
Followed by the fourth..
The fifth..
The ninth..
Until 9 o'clock in the evening.
With a scream.
The mayor pointed to his subordinates excitedly and shouted: "Quick! Quick! I think I dug up the last one!"
As soon as the words fell, several archaeological experts rushed up to excavate.
Ten minutes later.
The tenth stone drum was presented to everyone.
Everyone was extremely excited.
Looking at the ten stones irregularly placed on the ground.
All the fatigue on their bodies was swept away.
But immediately after, the mayor pointed to the stone he found with confusion.
"This one of mine, why does it feel different from the others."
"The one they dug up looks like a stone drum, why does this one I dug up look like..."
Fang Yang smiled: "Like a rice funnel, right?"
The mayor nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes!! No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a stone drum!"
"There's a reason for that. In fact, one stone drum was destroyed and used as a whetstone and for pounding rice, which is why it appears like this."
"Ah? Is that so.." The mayor was a bit disappointed and a bit regretful: "Such an important cultural relic, actually suffered such great damage, what a sin!"
Fang Yang smiled and shook his head: "It's a stone drum, it's not easy for them to gather together after 2,000 years, its symbolic significance is stronger."
The mayor nodded solemnly, then looked up at Fang Yang: "I've long heard of Fang Yang's specialty, I didn't expect that hearing about it is not as good as seeing it. I have special feelings for these ten stone drums, I don't know if it's convenient for you to tell me about their origin."
As soon as this was said, not just the mayor.
Everyone looked over with excited expressions.
Although they knew something about the stone drums.
But most of them only knew a little bit.
Plus they had been missing for decades, people's impression of them had faded a lot.
Otherwise, Director Lin wouldn't have failed to recognize them at first.
It was only under Fang Yang's reminder that he reacted.
From here, you can see that Fang Yang must understand them.
Although they didn't know why Fang Yang knew so much.
But it didn't hinder their desire for knowledge at all.
Even Tiger came over and urged: "Fang Yang, hurry up and talk about it, I'm almost anxious to death, I've been watching for a day, just waiting for your explanation!"
Others also nodded in agreement.
Fang Yang smiled: "Alright, I haven't eaten dinner yet, I'm starving. After I finish talking, I guess I'll be exhausted. You have to treat me to dinner!"
As soon as this was said, everyone laughed.
The mayor even offered to treat him to a big meal.
【Popularity】 +1+1+1+1....
—【Fang Yang, if you come to dig here, I'll treat you to a big meal every day, no, I'll treat you to every meal, don't worry about me going bankrupt, as long as you speak, everything will be arranged immediately!】
—【If Fang Yang could really be lured away by a big meal, I estimate countless people in our China would break their heads to lure him. But to be honest, this guy really has a soft spot for food. Every time food is mentioned, he forgets all his unhappy things.】
—【What is this called? Being open-minded, you know? He doesn't lack anything now, what he lacks is a happy mood. The reason why he is still driving the excavator now is not because he wants to compete, nor because he lacks money, but more because he likes it and wants to give an account to our fans, otherwise he could quit at any time.】
—【Damn, I haven't eaten yet either, just to see the result, I stayed up for several hours, I don't know how I survived. After Fang Yang finishes explaining, I'm going out to eat a big meal to make up for it.】
Fang Yang pondered for a while, pointed to the stone drums on the ground and spoke slowly.
"The Chencang Stone Drums were once called the number one ancient object of China by Mr. Kang Youwei."
"Han Yu and Su Shi both wrote poems for them."
"Sima Guang's father almost lost his life because of them."
