Notes From Buried Times Chapter 41

There are only two staff members in the local county cultural center, the director, Lao Wang, who is in his fifties, and the staff member, Xiao Song, who is in his early twenties, both of whom are in the archaeological team. Although these two people are not capable of excavation, they are obviously still ambitious. They not only cleared a lot of vegetation by hand, but also drove hundreds of wooden stakes into the ground and marked out the working exploration areas one by one. Li Changsheng patted the shoulders of the old and the young and encouraged them, saying "hard work, hard work", and the two muttered and complained that a bunch of bureaucrats did not support cultural undertakings, otherwise they could dig out the ruins with just 5,000 yuan of funding. Upon hearing this, Li Changsheng's students rushed to shake hands with them, saying that the tiger and wolf spirit of archaeologists in the new era was really touching.

The rain was getting heavier, and Daniel Xia advised Li Changsheng: "Let's go back and come back when the weather clears up. Anyway, no one will steal the ruins if they are left here."

Li Changsheng looked around and said, "It's backed by mountains and facing the water, with arches on the left and guards on the right. This place may really have an ancient tomb."

He just said it casually, and no one knew it would become a fact later.

The next day, it was still raining heavily. The radio said that the rain would stop in the afternoon, but it didn't stop and it turned into a thunderstorm. From the Xia family's house, the ruins could be vaguely seen. Li Changsheng stood at the gate and looked forward to it for a whole day, fearing that something might happen. Jasper Xia drank tea like a god, and kept saying, "Don't worry, it's easier to dig out the waterlogged ones."
