【A type of farm tool for plowing land, consisting of a heavy blade at the end of a crossbeam. It is usually attached to a group of livestock or a motor vehicle that pulls it, used to break up soil clods and plow furrows to prepare for sowing.】

This left Fang Yang bewildered!

In his memory, when he was a child, his great-grandfather was in the fields, putting this thing on an ox, and he stood behind waving a whip to plow the land.

Hadn't this thing disappeared long ago?

Now everything is industrialized farming; who still uses oxen to plow!

Fang Yang walked up and cleaned off the mud covering the plow.

Soon, its prototype was revealed.

But because many parts of the wood were damaged, and there was a thick layer of rust on the iron plow, it was completely different from his childhood memories.

Just as everyone was puzzled.

Fang Yang said lightly: "This should be a plow! The kind people used to plow the land in the past!"

"Ah?" Yang Feng looked very surprised: "I've seen plows, this doesn't look like one!"

The others nodded in agreement.

Fang Yang looked at Zhao Hua: "Do you know about this thing?"

Zhao Hua shook his head: "I only study paleontology, not modern things."

Wu Ming took out his phone directly: "It's okay, I'll call my second uncle. He's old; if this thing really is a plow, he should recognize it."

The cameraman asked curiously: "Brother, even if this is a plow, why would it appear here?"

"Yeah! Why?" Yang Feng was also very confused.

Fang Yang also shook his head: "I'm not sure either. When his second uncle comes in a while, we'll know after asking."

Not long after, an old man with white hair walked over, leaning on a cane.

"Great Ming, where is the thing? Let me see!"

Wu Ming hurriedly went over to support him and walked over: "Here... it's this thing on the ground."

The second uncle walked around the iron plow once and hmm-ed.

"That's right, this is an iron plow, but it's the kind from the past. This kind of plow is something I only saw when I was a child!"

"It really is?" Yang Feng looked at the iron plow on the ground and clicked his tongue in wonder: "Then does this count as an antique?"

Fang Yang smiled: "You can take it home to collect!"

The others laughed out loud.

Yang Feng looked at it and gave up on that idea, but couldn't help asking suspiciously: "Why is there an iron plow here? Didn't you say no one lived here?"

As soon as this was said, everyone looked at the second uncle, because he was probably the only one who could answer this question.

The second uncle pondered for a moment: "Our lineage, according to my father, moved here a hundred years ago. When we came, this place was desolate and uninhabited, and no one has lived here until now!"

"Then where did these kettles and iron plows come from?"

The second uncle shook his head, indicating he didn't know.

Zhao Hua, who had been standing on the side for a long time, suddenly asked tentatively: "Could it have been washed up by a flood?"

"It's possible!" The second uncle hurriedly followed up: "Before our lineage moved here, it is said that there was a flood here, and it rained continuously for a month. As for whether this place was flooded, I don't know."

Fang Yang had been listening for a long time and said lightly: "I don't feel like it was washed up by a flood!"

Everyone looked at him suspiciously, wanting to hear a different answer from his mouth.

"Look, this position is clearly much higher than where you live. If there was a flood, how big would the water have to be to flood this place? Besides, even if there was a flood, very heavy things like iron plows would only be washed downstream; how could they be washed to the foot of the mountain?"

As soon as this was said, everyone couldn't help but nod.

From a common sense perspective, what Fang Yang said made a lot of sense. If it were just an iron kettle, it could be said that it was washed over by water.

But something as heavy as an iron plow was impossible; this wasn't a coastline being slapped by waves.

Everyone couldn't figure this out, and in the end, Fang Yang suggested moving it to the side first and continuing to work, as that was more important.

——【I have a premonition that what we dig up today will definitely be extraordinary. Usually, it takes one or two scoops to get a result, but today it's like a suspense drama.】

——【This group of people is acting like they're studying geography. Isn't it just an iron plow? Who cares where it came from? It's not valuable anyway.】

——【Don't you guys find it curious? Although they are ordinary objects, and clearly no one lived here, traces of humans were dug up. I really want to know the answer.】

——【I feel like at this rate, the probability of digging up a pile of white bones is very high!】

——【There are many things in the world that can't be explained clearly, like digging up a dinosaur egg in such a shallow place just now. How do you explain that? If you ask me, just ignore it and keep digging. Sooner or later, we'll dig up what we want to see!】

——【The unknown is the most wonderful. Although they are ordinary objects, they violate common sense, so there must be something different about them. Looking forward to it.】

Fang Yang got back into the driver's cab to dig dirt.

There were more and more people around; some had heard about digging up a dinosaur egg, others had heard about catching a brown bear.

Later, people could be seen walking up one after another.

Only a small portion of them had recently swiped across Fang Yang's videos.

Many people on the main road of the village were rushing toward the foot of the mountain.

Those chatting under the shade of the trees saw this scene and felt very curious.

"Brother Wang, what are you doing? Are you all rushing to the mountain?"

"No, going to see an internet celebrity."

"What's good about an internet celebrity? Isn't it just those singing and dancing ones."

"You don't understand. This internet celebrity is not ordinary. He doesn't sing or dance; he drives an excavator."

"Can driving an excavator make you an internet celebrity? That's even more boring!"

"Haven't you heard? He dug up a dinosaur egg fossil here today, and even slapped a brown bear unconscious!"

"That awesome?"

"Hey... that's just a small scene. You haven't seen what he did a few days ago..."

Following this Brother Wang's exaggerated bragging.

Those idle villagers couldn't sit still anymore.

"Where, where? Take us to see it quickly!"

"Right at the foot of the mountain, digging a foundation for that kid Yang Feng to build a house. I have to go quickly; if I go late, I'll only be able to watch the video!"

The news spread from one to ten, ten to a hundred.

All the villagers at home walked out of their doors and rushed to the mountain.

People who didn't know would have thought the village was holding some major gathering.

Once someone explained it to them, they immediately became a member of the crowd watching the fun.

The cameraman inadvertently discovered that there were more and more people around.

He shouted at Fang Yang: "Brother, look, so many people are here to watch you shovel dirt!"

Fang Yang had also discovered it long ago. He had originally thought something had happened here.

As a result, after these people came, they just stood there watching him drive the excavator.

Was he that handsome?

The problem was that almost everyone who came to see him was a middle-aged man or an auntie.

Not a single young, pretty girl.

This made him very helpless, after all, being stared at lecherously by so many pairs of eyes.

Anyone would feel uncomfortable if it were them.

Fortunately, his excavator started to be effective.

He directly hit a massive object.

He could even hear the sound of wood breaking in the mud.

The onlookers gasped: "Finally dug something up, record it with your phone quickly!"

As soon as this was said, they all took out their phones to record videos.

People who didn't know would have thought Fang Yang was a big star acting here.

It was just that Fang Yang had no intention of looking at them now.

He was very puzzled in his heart; this sound just now was clearly the sound of wood breaking.

He hadn't taken it to heart originally.

He had dug up a lot of wood today, and it was common to break one or two. ===== CHAPTER 55 =====
