Power and Wealth

Evening.

On Mt. Green.

“How far is it?” Zhang Dongfang panted.

“It's quite far away, Governor Zhang.” Village secretary Xiao Chengdao.

Zhang Dongfang waved, “Whoa, no, I have to rest. ”

Someone will be right behind you, "I'll help you, Governor Zhang, sit down and rest. ”

Zhang Dongfang's little 200 kg of flesh trembled, he just climbed for a few minutes and couldn't hold on. The accompanying people of the county government axe office hurried to take care of the county governor, and helped him to sit down again. He also brought him mineral water, and the walkers up the mountain had to stop.

“Excuse me, Secretary Dong.” Zhang Dongfang wiped his sweat and gasped: “Old, I think I was quite thin when I was young. Such a tall hill doesn't even breathe from the bottom to the top. Alas, the years are unforgiving. It can't be done now, it can't be done. ”

Dong Xuebin cared: “Are you okay? ”

“It's okay, just take a break and relax.” Zhang Dongfang didn't want the county secretary to wait for him either, "leave me alone. ”

Dong Xuebin said: “Where can I go? ”

Zhang Dongfang said: “Xiao Xiao, take Secretary Dong up first, then I'll be there. ”

Dong Xuebin shook his head, “Let's see, you guys help Zhang County Governor up the mountain later, I'll go see for myself, Xiao Xiao, which one is it? ”

Xiao Cheng busily said: “It's almost dark this day, you don't know the road, the mountain road is difficult to walk and then there is danger, how can you do this alone?” Xiao Cheng has been working here for five or six years. He is also half a local. He knows the situation of Qingxiao Mountain as well. He dares to take people up the mountain. If he changes others, who dares to climb up such a bald mountain hill in the dark, if he gets lost, it would be fatal.

“Just point it out to me.” Dong Xuebin did not listen.

Xiao Chengfeng was helpless, but pointed to the top: “Go that way, there will be a trail later, turn left, and you can see it for another ten minutes. ”

Dong Xuebin thought about it, “Is there a thin strip of rock a few meters tall? ”

Xiao Zheng stunned, “That rock is five minutes up the road, how do you know?” I looked up and confirmed that it was impossible to see the rock here. It was too far away. There were still many trees in the middle. He did not understand how Dong Xuebin knew.

Dong Xuebin laughed: “I've been here before, okay, then I'll know the way. Take care of Zhang County Governor, I'll go first. ”

Zhang Dongfang shouted: “Attention, Xuebin, watch your step. ”

“Got it.” Dong Xuebin waved his hand back and went up on his own.

How did Dong Xuebin know this way? Because he had been here before, Dong Xuebin came to the mountain in the early morning that weekend, almost climbed the whole mountain along the trail, while climbing to get something to dig. Although there was no harvest in the end, at least he had a general understanding of Qingyuan Mountain, and he had a strong sense of direction, so Xiao Xiang said that Dong Xuebin immediately remembered that very distinctive rock. On this bald mountain, that rock was counted as a sign of the road name.

One minute…

Five minutes…

Xiao Cheng said the road took more than ten minutes, Dong Xuebin took only seven or eight minutes to arrive.

As soon as it passed, there was light in sight, not a sunset halo, but an artificial searchlight that was bright enough and dazzling.

“Ouch. ”

“Secretary Dong? ”

“How did you get here yourself? ”

The staff who were building temporary headquarters and some related facilities saw Dong Xuebin and hurried to greet him. There are people from the Cultural Bureau, there are people from the Public Security Bureau, obviously, before everyone was idle, you can see that the security line has been dragged up a large range, surrounded by hundreds of meters have been enclosed, several large tents have been pulled up, the searchlight frame is on the tree, basically all arranged.

Dong Xuebin took a tour. He couldn't help but say: "Everyone has worked hard, haven't you eaten yet? ”

“Not hard, we should.” "We haven't eaten yet," said the director of the cultural museum, "but the villagers have already sat on it, and we're going to eat it on the mountain, because there's something else that's been busy, and when it's finished, we can go down the mountain and just leave a few people behind. ”

Dong Xuebin glanced at the side. There was a fire, and a pot was set up. Several Qingbei villages were taking them up the mountain to cook for everyone. Many tents and related equipment were estimated to have been shared by several townships when they went up the mountain. Otherwise, more than two dozen people from their cultural relics protection team could not have moved up so much stuff, and they had trouble coming up to estimate it themselves.

“Hometown.” Dong Xuebin quickly walked up, "Thank you, and let everyone work with us. I'm sorry. ”

A middle-aged man grinned, “What do you thank for that? Secretary Xiao ordered us to go along, so we didn't bother. If you want to eat or move something in the future, call us. ”

"'How inappropriate,' said Dong Xuebin. 'I'll let you run back and forth. ”

“We've all been collecting herbs in the mountains for years," said the middle-aged man. "You're tired of climbing. It's a family meal. It's hard not to climb twice a day. ”

Another young villager said: "Uncle, dinner is ready. ”

The middle-aged man called everyone to dinner, and he himself sat on the floor drinking a bowl of soup.

Says it's cooking, it's actually a pot of mixed risotto soup, there's nothing oily about it, but it's good enough to eat something hot with the mountains.

Dong Xuebin summoned Curator Liu. “Don't forget the wages of the old townspeople. If you can pay more each day, you will pay more. Then you will go to the county. ”

Curator Liu nodded slightly, "I'm sure you won't forget. ”

Everybody's hungry. Let go of the job and eat.

Dong Xuebin then turned around and bent over. At that end, the staff had made a mark, inserted a flag and marked the position. Apparently, it was where the copper mirror was dug out. Dong Xuebin breathed out and slowly walked up and stood there. He squatted down and picked up the shaved pit with his hands. He dared not dig for half a day after drumming. He was also afraid of causing any damage.

At that time, Zhang Dongfang and others were late.

The people in the working group were busy putting the bowl down to greet them.

Zhang Dongfang waved his hand tirelessly, allowing them to continue eating. He himself looked at Dong Xuebin over there and also took off the cordon line and went in.

“Secretary Dong. ”

“Coming?”

“This is it? ”

“Well, this is where the bronze mirror was dug up. ”

Zhang Dongfang also sat down with Dong Xuebin for half a day and watched. At the end of the day, he whispered: “Do you really think there is an ancient cemetery under this area? Doesn't look like it. ”

Dong Xuebin said: “This requires professional equipment and professionals to confirm that if there is definitely an ancient tomb, it can be dug layer by layer, layer by layer peeling, then the ancient tomb can reveal traces. It must not be obvious now, which excavation will take months or even years, it is very laborious, if the tomb burglary doesn't matter, just dig directly, they don't care about the historical value of the ancient tomb, destroy it, they only value the valuable funerals inside, but we can't do it. ”

Zhang Dongfang nodded and touched the land with his hands: “I hope there is good news. ”

“People will be here soon, and we'll see.” Dong Xuebin looked at the table. Mu Zhengzhong should have left the plane early. His cell phone had no signal and could not be contacted. However, he had previously left Suyan's phone with Teacher Mu. Don't worry about this. Suyan has been waiting at the airport. Dong Xuebin ordered him to come to Qingxian Mountain immediately after receiving the call.

……

It's getting dark.

A few of the countrymen have gone down the hill.

But when Secretary Dong and Zhang County Governor had no intention of going down the mountain and still talking there, the people of the working group saw the letter, and none left. After everyone tortured the installation of the equipment and the installation of the facilities, they turned on an additional searchlight and lit up the scene.

Finally, around 7: 40, a flashlight came from the bottom of the mountain.

Xiao Chenghe and two local villagers came with Su Yan and several middle-aged people.

“Teacher Mu, it's been a long journey.” Dong Xuebin smiled when he saw people.

The people of Jiao Neighbourhood County Working Group obviously also recognized Mu Zhengzhong. He was stunned. I didn't expect Secretary Dong to invite such a famous figure, and he came all the way to Green Mountain. This horn? Is there really an ancient tomb here? Did you really let Secretary Dong guess? Blind cat hit a dead rat? You're kidding.

Mu Zhengzhong was also very tired. He rushed to the plane in the afternoon. Horses came to Jiao neighboring county without stopping. They climbed the mountain for a moment. They were all three years old. This physical consumption was conceivable. Everyone saw sweat and fatigue in their heads. However, surprisingly, several people were tired and their eyes seemed to be full of body and spirit.

“Xiaobin, let me introduce you first.” Mu Zhengzhong refers to the two people next to him, “this is the archaeological team Chu, and this is the researcher of the late Palace-Bo-Bo-House, Old Meng. ”

“Teacher Chu, Mr. Meng.” Dong Xuebin went up and shook their hands, "hard work.” After that, introduce Zhang Dongfang, "this is Zhang Dongfang. ”

Zhang Dongfang also greeted them.

Teacher Chu of the archaeological team was the most anxious of several people. He couldn't help but say hello or something. "Where is it? ”

Director Liu also heard the introduction just now. He saw that the other party was an archaeological team. He couldn't help but salute him. Hurry up and bring up the box wrapped in copper mirrors. He took it up the mountain as instructed by Dong Xuebin.

Teacher Chu opened the box.

Mu Zhengzhong and the Meng teacher also surrounded themselves, put on gloves and take things out under the light and look carefully. At the end of the day, several people looked at each other and nodded. (To be continued.)
