"They hoped that the family could send more clothes and money over."

"Among them, it is worth noting that Heifu mentioned in the letter that he had borrowed some money from someone else, and the other party wanted it very urgently."

"If he couldn't pay it back as soon as possible, he would be in immediate danger of his life."

After Fang Yang finished saying these things in a leisurely manner in one breath, he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

These two family letters were still very significant for archaeology.

At the very least, one could learn a lot of information from them.

Among them was learning some secrets about the soldiers of the Qin Dynasty.

Thinking of this, Fang Yang briefly organized his language in the depths of his heart, and then continued: "At that time, the economic situation of the families of the Qin army's soldiers was generally passable."

"That's why it was possible for Heifu to ask his family for five or six hundred coins and cotton cloth and clothes."

"This was written very clearly on it."

"This indirectly shows that the Qin State's preferential treatment for the families of soldiers was still very good."

"Both of these family letters mentioned their mother."

"It can be seen that in the Qin State more than 2,000 years ago, when children were far away from home and went to the battlefield to fight, their mothers at home were also very concerned."

"And when the eldest brother was at home receiving the two letters, we have no way to see the excited expression of their mother."

"But one thing is undeniable: when the mother saw the letters from her two young sons, she must have been happy to the point of tears, and perhaps she had already started staying up late that very night."

"Perhaps that very night, she had already packed clothes for her sons and let the eldest brother send them out."

"Heifu and Jing were ordinary members of the millions of Qin soldiers under Qin Shi Huang back then."

"It is precisely because of this group of small people of flesh and blood."

"They gave their youth, fought in bloody battles, and killed the enemy heroically."

"They helped Qin Shi Huang complete the great cause of sweeping across the six states and unifying the world."

"Afterward, they left no names and disappeared quietly into the long river of history."

"If it weren't for the fact that we discovered these two family letters, we might never have understood what the psychological journey of those soldiers was like, and we would never have understood that they were actually people of flesh and blood."

"We would definitely focus most of our attention on those royal descendants and nobles, on those figures who are famous in history."

"We might also never know that there were two soldiers in the Qin army, one named Heifu and one named Jing."

"But now we know, and we will also remember their names forever, and remember those small people in the Qin army."

He handed the cultural relic excavated from the grass to the cameraman, and the cameraman looked at it blankly, suddenly feeling that although this cultural relic looked very light, it actually felt a bit heavy in his hands.

This is a very precious cultural relic.

Although lighter than a feather, it is heavier than Mount Tai.

At this moment, the cameraman didn't know what kind of reaction he should have; he just felt that his heart was very complicated.

"Brother, is it appropriate for this thing to be in my hands now? I think it should be in someone else's hands."

Now the other cultural relic experts were all trying their best to excavate things, and as of now, it looked like they wouldn't come over to help at all.

It seemed that only he could hold the thing.

After all, that side wasn't paying attention to their situation at all.

Although the cameraman really wanted to transfer the cultural relic in his hand, he couldn't do it.

So he could only hold it carefully, as if doing so made everything worth it.

And while the cameraman was feeling a bit uneasy in his heart, on the other side, Fang Yang started acting again.

This made the cameraman feel incomparably uneasy all of a sudden.

He followed almost immediately, and while following, he carefully opened his mouth: "Brother, where exactly are you going? Slow down, I'm about to lose you."

When the cameraman said this, his tone clearly revealed a bit of panic.

He even felt that his current actions were very inconvenient.

It would be great if he could change his current situation.

He couldn't help but look forward to it in his heart.

And as Su Yi kept walking forward, soon, they arrived at another place.

And at this time, the place they were in was next to a pile of stone rockeries.

The cameraman noticed that Fang Yang kept looking inside, as if he wanted to seriously explore the situation inside.

The cameraman's mood was originally very uneasy, and he didn't know what was going on with the current situation.

He also didn't know what Fang Yang was looking at.

Until Fang Yang suddenly pulled up the sleeves of both hands, pulling them all the way to his wrists.

After a while, he saw Fang Yang take a deep breath.

Before he could figure out what the other party was going to do next, Fang Yang had already reached out and kept digging around inside.

"Brother, what exactly are you doing?"

The cameraman didn't want to be like someone who hadn't seen the world every time, but he really couldn't help it.

He just really wanted to know what the intention was behind every one of Fang Yang's next actions.

What exactly he was going to do.

He was very curious about this.

"There is something in here."

Fang Yang said faintly.

Of course the cameraman knew that Fang Yang's behavior must be because there was something in here.

But what he wanted to know was what exactly was in there that made Fang Yang go to such trouble.

However, even though he clearly thought this way and was so curious about it, the other party still had no intention of explaining.

So, the cameraman could only wait patiently.

Finally, Fang Yang excavated the thing.

【Northern Song Glazed Grapes】

【...】

When Fang Yang placed the excavated cultural relic on his palm and signaled for the cameraman to look.

The cameraman took half a step back and was directly given a big fright.

"Brother, some people are really unreliable to the extreme. How can they just stuff rotten grapes into this rockery? Look, they're even moldy."

502. Are They All Rotten Goods? No, That's a Craft! (Full Subscription Requested)

Although the cameraman didn't smell anything, at this moment he felt that his nose had smelled the smell of rot.

The smell that surged from the depths of his heart made him feel very uncomfortable.

He thought this way in his heart, and his mouth couldn't help but say it out loud.

"Don't look at it as if it looks like rotten grapes; in fact, it's not like that at all."

Fang Yang was silent for a while, then spoke slowly.

This was truly difficult to say.

"Could it be that these are also grapes from thousands of years ago, just like the two rotten zongzi excavated in the tomb earlier? Because they have been there for nearly a thousand years, they count as a cultural relic?"

The cameraman recalled similar situations that had happened before and couldn't help but twitch his mouth.

He really didn't want to.

First picking up rotten zongzi, then picking up rotten grapes; in the future, will there be rotten peaches, rotten apples, and the like?

Even if this kind of cultural relic has passed through thousands of years, it would still be very strange if placed in a museum.

"Cough, cough."

Fang Yang couldn't help but cough twice to cover up his discomfort.

If he didn't know what this was, Fang Yang wouldn't be able to say that this was actually a very valuable cultural relic.

"These are grapes from the Northern Song Dynasty. They look like rotten grapes, and they also look like the kind of grapes we put in fruit plates, but in fact, they are made of glazed glass."

"Glazed glass, isn't that just a craft?"

The cameraman widened his eyes; he was simply incredulous.

If it was the Northern Song period, why were the craftsmen of the Northern Song so bored?

Using glazed glass to make anything else would be fine, but why did they have to make a string of rotten grapes?

Even if they made fresh grapes, each one crystal clear and dripping, that would be very good.

"These grapes total 46, and they are all connected in a string with metal wires, looking very vivid and lifelike."
