No one is allowed to enter Mr. Lu's studio, whether it is a nanny or a guest, without permission. There is no one else in the room at the moment.

But Yuanni closed the door anyway, then opened her schoolbag and took out the rewrapped bronze fragments.

Wrapping it with brocade can certainly show the preciousness of the bronze fragments, but it does not do anything to prevent corrosion and weathering.

Therefore, after getting the fragment, Yuan Ni had already processed it using special means and rewrapped it.

"You take a look at this thing first."

Experts will know if there is any as soon as they take action. The patina of the bronze fragments has been removed, revealing exquisite patterns.

Mr. Lu studied the fragments carefully, and from time to time he used a magnifying glass to look at them before getting started.

After repeating this for about ten minutes, Mr. Lu said, "I am not particularly proficient in Jinshi.

But the characteristics of this fragment are too obvious. Judging from the cloud pattern and broken stubble, this should be a bronze sacrifice from the Shang and Zhou dynasties.

I just don’t understand. Sacrificial offerings in this era are quite precious. How could you be so careless and drop such a large fragment? "

Yuan Ni pointed at the pattern above the fracture. The pattern was very special. If you look closely, you can see that it seems to be half a sheep's horn. "Bold guess, this is the legendary fragment of the bronze tripod with four sides of a sheep's head that has been damaged."

Mr. Lu was shocked, "The tripod is still there? Since the tripod is still there, why didn't you keep it carefully? Did you turn it into fragments? Or do you mean that this is the only fragment left?"

Yuanni smiled, starting with the clues about the discovery of the big cauldron, and then explained her speculation, "The little warlord is the owner of the bronze cauldron, but with his own power, he will definitely not be able to hide the big cauldron, so he will do the specific work are all his men.

If the prediction is correct, these people are his confidants, bodyguards and the like.

They didn't understand antiques and didn't know that the bronze was brittle, so they didn't take it seriously when they moved it. They accidentally broke off a piece of the bronze, and that's what happened. "

Yuan Ni's inference was reasonable, and Mr. Lu nodded repeatedly, "According to what you said, the bronze tripod with the four-sided sheep's head may still be there?"

"It should still be there. I got a clue."

"It must be reported to the country as soon as possible and the treasures must be taken out and kept in a safe place."

"Master, I think so too, but I..." Yuan Ni expressed her concerns, "I want to give you the clues, and then you will report them."

Mr. Lu was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, "No, the discoverer of such a precious cultural relic has made great contributions. If I really report it in my own name, it will be equivalent to robbing you of your credit."

"Fame and wealth are all external things. If I don't report it in your name, the superiors won't take it too seriously. The four-sided bronze tripod has been wandering outside for a long time and must be found as soon as possible.

When I found the fragments, they were already decayed. The bronze was brittle and not tough enough. The extra minute the cauldron was left outside would increase the risk of damage. "

Mr. Lu knows the current situation better than Yuan Ni, "Since you can put justice first, I won't say any more nonsense."

The two masters and apprentices discussed the matter and after careful planning, Mr. Lu reported the matter in his own name.

The news that the bronze tripod with four goat heads was still in the world immediately attracted the attention of the higher authorities.

The superiors responded quickly and quickly established an archaeological team, with Mr. Lu as the captain, and the other deputy captain, Peng Dalin, parachuted in directly.

The captain and deputy captains each have their own functional arrangements, and all matters related to archaeology are decided by Mr. Lu.

Peng Dalin is responsible for the specific administrative management and logistics supply.

When he heard that an archaeological team had been established, Dr. Hou immediately ran to Mr. Lu and strongly requested to join the archaeological team as a health doctor. "You have to bring a health doctor anyway, so why not take me?"

I am good at both Chinese and Western medicine. Even if there is no anesthetic, I can use acupuncture anesthesia and perform on-site dissection and surgery. "

Mr. Lu couldn't laugh or cry, "We are going for archeology, not fighting, so what kind of on-site disembowelment?

No, really not. To be honest, with your medical skills, this small archaeological team is really overqualified.

Besides, you are not young and your health is not good, so you should raise yourself at home and give opportunities to young people. "

"We are about the same age, you can go, why can't I go?" Dr. Hou was very angry.

In the end, Mr. Lu had no choice but to make a request in person to deputy captain Peng Dalin, saying that he wanted to place a team doctor in the archaeological team.

"Okay, no problem. It's just that our funds are limited. If it's a non-staff doctor, we won't be able to give much subsidy." Peng Dalin was honest.

"It doesn't matter whether he has money or not, he is not short of money." Mr. Lu waved his hand.

Peng Dalin scratched his head and felt that he didn't understand. Since there was no shortage of money, wouldn't it be better to just stay at home?

You are so old, why do you still go to archeology?

Archeology is not a good job. This is not a business trip for meetings, but traveling over mountains and rivers. You often eat and sleep in the wild. It's really hard to live without food.

Maybe he didn’t understand, but Peng Dalin still added Dr. Hou to the list of personnel, “Your student Yuanni is also going, right?”

"Yes, she is my student and my assistant."

Mr. Lu was a consultant to the university, and the university benefited from this, and many places were given to the archeology department.

Now the acting director of the Department of Archeology, Professor Fan, has become a full-time official and has become the director of the Department of Archeology.

In addition to Professor Fan, two students were also selected. One of them was Qiao Hong, the deputy monitor of Yuan Ni's class, and the other was Liu Ying, a girl who changed her major this year and just entered the archeology department.

It was understandable that Mr. Lu took Yuan Ni to do archeology, but the addition of these two students was puzzling.

The most popular student in the class, besides Yuan Ni, was originally the monitor. The monitor must have wanted to do this archeology, but he somehow lost the election.

Privately, the squad leader complained a lot. He said that Qiao Hong was too cunning and just took away the spot that should have belonged to him.

However, no one believed it because Qiao Hong looked much more practical than the squad leader.

Because among the class cadres, there was no deputy squad leader in the first place. The reason why Qiao Hong got the title of deputy squad leader was inseparable from the strong promotion of the squad leader.

A bright-eyed classmate has long said that the reason why the monitor promoted Qiao Hong was to make Qiao Hong work.

No one expected that the squad leader would hunt geese all day long, but in the end he would be pecked in the eye by a goose, and his precious spot would be snatched away from his hands by his younger brother.

As for Liu Ying, another girl selected for the archaeological team, it is even more puzzling. Liu Ying studied in the Mechanical Department in her freshman year and has no foundation in archeology.

It is simply sensational that such a student can join the archaeological team just after changing his major.

That's all for Qiao Hong. Everyone was very dissatisfied with Liu Ying's selection into the archaeological team. Rumors were flying everywhere, and some people even wrote letters of accusation to the school.

However, these letters of complaint were like stones sinking into the sea. In the end, the list of the archaeological team was finalized, and Liu Ying's name was still on it.

In this way, Liu Ying and Yuan Ni became the only girls on the archaeological team.

The archaeological team is funded by the public throughout the entire process, and all meals and lodging are included. Even so, you still have to prepare some things.

The destination of this trip is located on the northwest border. Although it is spring in March, it is a bitter cold place and the temperature is much lower than that of the capital.

When Mr. Geng and Mrs. Geng learned that Yuan Ni was going there, they ran to the house and told her something very seriously, "Besides clothes and bedding, you have to bring one important thing... …”
