Chapter 591

Their discovery this time was far greater than what they had found while staying in the small village at the foot of the mountain before.

Fang Yang and the others did not care at all about what those students were saying behind their backs.

They simply kept moving on their own.

Time passed slowly, and they soon arrived at the small village at the foot of the mountain.

When the others saw them appear, they could not help but cheer for Fang Yang and his group.

"You must be hungry now. Eat more quickly."

They could not help but say this to Fang Yang and his group.

Fang Yang nodded firmly: "I am indeed hungry."

When the food was placed in his hands, Fang Yang did not stand on ceremony and began eating immediately.

It was a bowl of steaming hot noodles.

In fact, eating noodles after descending the mountain might not provide a feeling of fullness, but Fang Yang had no objection to this.

After all, under these circumstances, if one can eat, one should eat.

He thought this to himself.

The cameraman had also expended a great deal of stamina; he ate two large bowls of noodles in one go.

"I feel that the excavation work on this mountain has been going on for a long time. Although Master Yang allowed us to stay here for one more day, I think we should leave temporarily. Even traveling would be better than staying here. I feel that if we continue to stay here, we will have no choice but to continue working tomorrow. I do not want to work here anymore; today has been exhausting enough, as if I have already finished a whole day's work."

The cameraman said this quietly to Fang Yang.

They had not told the students that they could stay in this city for one more day.

Fang Yang had no objection to what the cameraman said.

In fact, staying anywhere made no difference to him.

"Do as you think best; I have no objection to this matter."

So, after dinner, under the warm hospitality of the students, they prepared to leave.

"The path down the mountain is somewhat difficult, and once it gets dark after six o'clock in the evening, the night falls very quickly. I think that even if you want to leave, you should wait until tomorrow morning."

The students were reluctant to see Fang Yang and the others leave, so they made this serious suggestion.

However, the cameraman did not want at all to have to get out of bed early the next morning without even being able to sleep in, so he insisted on descending the mountain.

Fang Yang then spoke up: "We have many things to attend to, so I am truly sorry."

After saying this, Fang Yang looked at them with a very apologetic expression.

They left just like that.

The students simply could not persuade Fang Yang.

They could only watch Fang Yang and the others.

"Leaving like this is truly a pity."

"If Fang Yang could stay here for a few more days, would we not discover even more cultural relics?"

"I really wish for a job that would allow us to conduct continuous research for ten years."

"Haha, that wish is simply too unrealistic."

Fang Yang and his entire group heard what these students said and could not help but feel secretly relieved in their hearts.

Fortunately, they were about to leave, so there would be no other possibilities.

Thinking this, they said nothing more and hurriedly walked straight toward the direction below the mountain.

It was not until past seven o'clock in the evening that they finally found a suitable place and immediately rested.

Both Fang Yang and the cameraman felt their arms were extremely fatigued.

Fang Yang was tired from using tools to excavate, while the cameraman was tired from carrying the camera.

When they woke up the next morning, it was completely a time for rest for them.

They slept straight through until noon.

Breakfast and lunch were eaten almost consecutively.

Suddenly, they had a day of rest.

In the past, they found this very boring.

It was also a very wasteful thing, but now they had no such thought at all.

Whenever there was time to rest, they rested as much as possible.

After lunch, the cameraman and the driver both went to make phone calls to their families.

Fang Yang was also on the phone, but this call was not one he made; it was one made to him.

It was a very unfamiliar phone number.

Originally, Fang Yang had not decided whether to answer the call, but after hesitating for a while, he decided to pick up.

As soon as he answered, he heard the person on the other end speak in a timid voice: "Hello, is this Fang Yang? I have a cultural relic and would like to ask you if you can determine whether it is genuine or fake?"

When the other party asked this, they were obviously anxious and uneasy.

After answering the call, Fang Yang felt puzzled, so he directly asked the source of his confusion: "Before I answer your question, may I first know how you obtained my phone number?"

Fang Yang did not want his phone number to be leaked directly and known by everyone.

Although he felt that his phone number seemed to have no secrets left, those people were very polite, never disturbing him, and even when asking about matters, they basically contacted Master Yang proactively.

"I obtained your phone number from a friend. The friend suggested I go through Master Yang to find you, but since I am not asking you to excavate any cultural relics for me, but only to verify the authenticity of one, I did not go through Master Yang. If I have offended you in any way by doing this, I can apologize."

When Fang Yang said these words, his tone was very calm, but it still made the person on the other end of the phone feel extremely anxious.

The other party was even completely fearful of Fang Yang, worried that they would not be able to get an answer from him.

From this, one could see that the other party's mood was extremely uneasy.

Fang Yang actually had no intention of causing trouble for the other party; upon hearing this, a clear relaxation showed in his brows and eyes.

He had originally just wanted an answer, and now that he had received it, there was nothing left to worry about.

"What artifact do you want me to help verify? Can you explain the situation roughly?"

Fang Yang actually wanted to ask why the other party didn't simply find an expert who knew the trade, but then realized the other person was likely an ordinary person, so he did not voice the question.

"Alright, I will explain right now how I obtained this artifact."

The other party listened carefully; realizing through the phone that the other side was truly not angry, he immediately felt much more at ease.

He pondered for a moment and quickly organized his words.

"The story is like this."

"I found an ancient book at a street stall."

While Fang Yang was chatting with the person on the other end of the phone, the Cameraman, having realized what Fang Yang was doing, had already turned on the camera.

Seeing that the camera was already on, Fang Yang's expression remained indifferent.

He was not at all surprised by this.

He believed that even if the person on the other end of the phone knew he had turned on the camera, they would not react.

After all, no one would likely suspect what his true identity was.

He glanced once, then listened to the other party speak seriously again.

"I paid ten thousand yuan for this ancient book."

"When I got home, my wife was very angry that I spent so much money on such a book."

"She kept scolding me, saying I had been cheated, and asking how a piece of junk could cost so much."

"But I have some research on artifacts, so I almost immediately judged that this should be a treasure."

"Although I was very confident in my own judgment, I had no way to be completely certain about the truth."

The person on the other end of the phone quickly explained some of their own judgments.

Fang Yang fell silent for an instant, indicating that the other party should photograph a few pages of the book for him to see; at that point, he would be able to judge whether the ancient book was real or fake.

The phone was hung up quickly.

Then the other party sent the pictures directly.

It seemed the other party had prepared for this beforehand, which was why it was so fast.

The photos were taken very comprehensively.

It could be seen that this was an ancient book of great age and severe damage.

Some of the paper looked sticky, stuck together as if it could not be opened.

The other party must have understood this as well, so they did not force it open.
