Chapter 499

~9 min read 1,632 words

The place they went to this time was a bit far. When walking on foot, 20 minutes passed on the road.

Walking all the way, Fang Yang had already noticed that many places nearby contained treasures, but the person leading the way in front didn't stop, so he didn't stop either, but continued to follow the other party and move forward constantly.

This was a purple bamboo forest.

The breeze blew, and the leaves of the purple bamboo forest rustled.

The children stopped and looked at Fang Yang with very expectant eyes.

"Big brother, is this place very beautiful? My little friends and I like to come here very much."

"Hmm, it's really beautiful."

This was the first time Fang Yang had seen such a large purple bamboo forest.

When Fang Yang said these words, he wasn't just agreeing casually, but really felt that way in his heart.

Children can distinguish very clearly between sincerity and pretense. Hearing Fang Yang say this, they were all very happy.

"It seems big brother really likes this place."

"That's great, then are there any treasures here?"

"When we discussed here before, we felt that if there were treasures, they would definitely be here."

"We even played many treasure-hunting games here."

"That's right."

The children nodded vigorously while speaking.

However, looking at their appearance, I estimate that they definitely didn't find the treasure.

Children, I guess they come fast and leave fast.

Fang Yang rubbed the head of the child closest to him: "I think you are right, there are indeed treasures here."

After Fang Yang finished these words, he didn't explain, but started the excavation work immediately.

When Fang Yang was doing the excavation work, no one dared to disturb him.

They did very well in this aspect, and those children were the same.

Fang Yang only did the excavation work for about 10 minutes before digging the thing up.

Having long been used to it, Fang Yang guessed what was buried under the ground in just a moment.

This seemed to be a bronze ware.

Fang Yang couldn't stop muttering in his heart, and in the next second, the appearance of the thing was basically seen seven or eight out of ten.

The thing was a bit heavy, and finally, Fang Yang and the people from the Cultural Relics Bureau moved it out from under the ground together.

【Fu Hao Owl Zun】

【Bronze object from the Shang Dynasty】

【45.9 cm high, 16.4 cm caliber】

【……】

From the appearance, this bronze object was completely the creature known as an owl.

The owl's standing posture was very upright, and the most eye-catching thing was the full patterns on its body.

There were many patterns on it.

For example, beast face patterns, snake patterns, etc.

It even used thunder patterns as a background.

The front of the lid was a bird with a sharp beak, and the back was a standing dragon with an arched body and a curled tail.

Fang Yang and the cultural relic experts around him kept flipping this bronze object.

They were determined to see this bronze object carefully.

They kept flipping through it, and then had new discoveries. They found the two characters "Fu Hao" in the inner wall under the mouth of the vessel.

At that moment, they were stunned, but after being stunned for a while, they continued to flip through it.

After finding that there were no other characters on this object except for the two characters "Fu Hao", they chose to give up.

"If I am not mistaken, Fu Hao should be the female general who was both civil and military, recorded in the Records of the Grand Historian."

"You're not mistaken, she is even the first female general in Chinese history."

"And her identity is not just a female general, she is also a queen, and even a sacrificial priest in power in the Shang Dynasty, a very outstanding female politician."

"That is a female war god with 3,000 years of history. I didn't expect that one day I would be able to learn about her from cultural relics."

"Yes, suddenly I feel so close to her."

【Popularity】+1+1+1+1.

……

——【The light of heroines, not inferior to men.】

——【Her identity is actually a priest. You know, priests had very high status in the Shang Dynasty.】

——【How can someone's name be Fu Hao? Don't you think this name is very strange?】

——【Her name is not Fu Hao. The 'Fu' in the name refers to the title.】

——【She is really a very powerful female general. She fought more than 90 battles in her life and never lost once. Not only that, she also defeated and annexed more than 20 countries, spending her whole life on horseback.】

345. Cultural collision between a thousand years ago and after, romantic and solemn!

……

——【I thought that cultural relics related to generals must be very serious and domineering, but I didn't expect this bronze ware to be so cute and quite lovely.】

——【What's cute? It's clearly solemn and respectful. Some people's eyes are different from ours, and they can actually see cuteness. Anyway, I didn't see it.】

——【A thousand years later, we are still gathered here. We still don't need to prove that we are here. The light shines over, guiding us to go further, with firmer steps.】

——【Wow, so passionate!】

——【A cultural relic lets us understand the historical background at that time and understand that person. Many people may not be able to understand it, but I think maybe this is the romance of archaeology.】

——【Yes, it allowed people from a thousand years ago and people from a thousand years later to have a cultural collision. It's really very romantic.】

——【I vaguely remember that I once read a book about history, which said that the name Fu Hao is all over the oracle bones. I was very curious at the time, so I searched on the website in various ways, but no matter which search engine I used, there were no results. Now I can learn more about Fu Hao, I feel very honored.】

——【Didn't the TV drama director think about filming this female general?】

——【I think it's better not to film it. If we film it, it will definitely be a virtuous wife, sacrificing and dedicating her life, giving birth to children, while others are ignored?】

——【Yes, Fu Hao was a female general with ideals and ambitions. Her life should not be trapped in the inner house. TV dramas always like all kinds of processing, turning famous, ambitious, and aspiring historical women into love-brained people. I don't like watching this. I think filming it is an insult to these historical women.】

——【If we can dig up more and more cultural relics, I think our understanding of Fu Hao will be deeper. We can learn about history and historical figures, but I think, shouldn't we focus more on the cultural relic itself?】

——【On the cultural relic itself? I really think this cultural relic is very cute and lovely, and even think Angry Birds is particularly similar to it.】

Fang Yang looked at the people in the livestream discussing lazily, ready to say a few words and then make a concluding remark.

"Owl, some people may not know what it means, some people may have already understood it, and some people may have to search on the internet. Actually, owl is the name for birds like owls."

"And what is this item used for? It is a wine vessel."

"At the same time, it is also very likely to be the earliest bird-shaped bronze wine vessel discovered in our country, China."

After Fang Yang finished saying these things, he couldn't help but take a deep breath, looking as if everything had ended.

This bronze ware was very heavy.

With everyone's concerted efforts, they soon transported this bronze ware directly out of the purple bamboo forest.

These three discoveries made the people in the whole village even more enthusiastic about Fang Yang.

Some people had already started killing sheep and chickens in the village, wanting to have a big banquet to invite Fang Yang.

"Brother, are we going to stay? They look very enthusiastic. If we just leave like this, they will definitely be very disappointed."

The cameraman couldn't help but say this to Fang Yang.

Fang Yang nodded in agreement: "You are right. If we leave now, they will definitely be very disappointed."

Amidst the cameraman's expectant expression, and the driver's somewhat drifting gaze, Fang Yang said directly: "Then let's just stay here and eat something."

In the past, they were too eager to work and were always in a hurry.

But in fact, although they only stayed in each city for one day, they would never exceed it.

But Fang Yang initially could only accept 8 hours of work time, and didn't want to work overtime. Later, his focus was locked on "no more than three"—once three things were handled well, he would leave immediately.

In the past, he didn't feel that there was any problem with doing this, but now he realized it was not very appropriate.

Sometimes they could still stop and rest for a while, and calm down.

Under the enthusiastic hospitality of the villagers, Fang Yang and his group ate and drank to their heart's content.

Even the driver couldn't help but drink a little. The time to leave this city had to be delayed. Fortunately, it wasn't too urgent, otherwise he would have to find a designated driver.

Under Fang Yang's gaze, the driver finally put down his glass, and then only ate vegetables and drank drinks. When they returned to the hotel, everyone lay on the bed and slept soundly.

The driver had the best sleep quality, almost falling asleep the moment he lay on the bed.
