Master Archaeologist

Chapter 3 Lajia ruins, here I come!

"Beep beep beep beep..."

On the country road in the direction of Guanting Town from Minhe County, Qinghai, a King Dragon bus was driving with a full load.

Sitting in the car was the archaeological team led by Kong Jianwen.

More than 30 people sat in the car full of people, bumping along with the car.

"I'm sorry, we are in a remote village, next to the Gobi, and the roads are a bit difficult to walk."

The driver of the cart spoke authentic Qinghai local dialect Mandarin, and kept apologizing to Kong Jianwen, who was sitting in the co-pilot.

The leader can say, the people who picked up this time are not ordinary, they are a group of high-level intellectuals, they are either doctors or masters, and there are even several professors!

You have to be careful.

But he had completely misunderstood.

Kong Jianwen and his party, although all of them are high-level intellectuals, none of them are pampered.

Those who engage in archaeology are also spoiled and spoiled.

Everyone is either on the construction site or on the way to the construction site every day, and it takes more than half a year to go to the construction site. If you are accompanied by yellow sand and mud every day, what pretensions can you have?
No one paid attention to this bumpy road.

The dozen or so young people in the back row were all sleeping soundly.

"Ahem, wake up all the sleeping ones, we are almost at our destination!"

Looking at his watch, Kong Jianwen ruthlessly woke up the team members who were dozing off from the fatigue of the journey.

"Have you all greeted your family?" He looked at Chen Han and other young people in the team, and said with a serious face: "This is a big project, and it is an active discovery. It may not take a year or so. indefinite."

"If you have a partner, you have to appease your partner."

"Don't be halfway through the construction, and the object will run away with others."

"At that time, I will be depressed and crying every day, and there will be no psychological counselor in the team to provide psychological treatment."

Kong Jianwen is not joking.

Why do archaeologists always refer to the archaeological site as "the construction site"?
On the one hand, it is because many rescue excavation projects are usually graves dug out during infrastructure construction at a certain construction site.

The archaeological team is like the fire brigade, wherever there is an accident on the construction site, they will rush there.

On the other hand, it is because the work experience of archaeological excavation is basically the same as that of the construction site.

Every morning, I get up at seven o'clock and go to the construction site. I just work hard on the dirt. I work until the sun sets and return to the house near the construction site to rest. I will continue to go back and forth the next day.

And usually after staying for more than half a year, I can't go home. I eat and drink on the construction site, and the scope extends to the town at most.

The life experience is not much different from that of the construction team engaged in infrastructure construction.

Kong Jianwen has been in this industry for almost 30 years, and has brought in countless newcomers.

Basically every year, newcomers get kicked by their girlfriends because of their working environment.

Many people even like to mention the green hat, and then wash their faces with tears every day, and have no intention of working, which greatly reduces the work efficiency of the team.

Especially in recent years, I don't know whether it is because the society has become impetuous, or the development of the Internet has shortened the social distance.

Newcomers like Chen Han, who have just left university for a few months, will most likely suffer an emotional blow in the first six months of their career.

After all, not many young people can accept that the other half of their love period is not by their side for a long time, and they are basically unable to contact them during the day, and are in a state of being out of contact.

There's no way, you can't expect that during archaeological work, you can go down to dig the soil, and at the same time call and send WeChat with the subject quickly with one hand, right?
In Kong Jianwen's time, there was no such a developed mobile Internet, and ordinary working couples couldn't communicate with each other, but they didn't have such "lovesickness" anymore.

But today's young people want to stick together 24 hours a day, even if they don't meet each other, they still chat on social software all the time.

It is difficult for them to bear the situation that this kind of work = losing contact.

"It's all comforted, my girlfriend is very supportive!"

"My boyfriend has already been kicked by me, a scumbag!"

"Professor, I'm single!"

Several young people in the team quickly raised their hands to say that there is no problem, and the emotional problems that should be solved have been settled.

Facing Kong Jianwen's questioning and probing eyes, Chen Han also spread his hands very calmly: "Teacher, I don't have a girlfriend, let alone a wife, so don't think about it."

"I am unmarried."

"I have decided long ago to devote all my limited energy to the cause of archaeology."

"As for my parents, they have very low requirements for me, they can contact me once a month, just make sure I'm still alive."

Kong Jianwen nodded appreciatively. He deserves to be number one in the professional course of the History Department of Peking University this year. He loves archaeology very much!
However, he didn't quite agree with the persuasion: "Xiao Chen, marriage is still necessary. A stable marriage relationship can make your work easier."

"The girls outside misunderstood us archaeologists too much, and it is indeed inappropriate."

"But you can find someone in the industry."

Kong Jianwen pouted angrily, and motioned Chen Han to look at the senior sister Su Sa who was sitting beside him.

"Your senior sister, you are beautiful, your professional skills are solid enough, and you can have a lot of common language, so you can give it a try."

"Although she is three years older than you, as the saying goes, female juniors hold gold bricks!"

The atmosphere on the bus changed immediately, and the other archaeological team members all started booing.

Su Sa, who was being teased, lowered her head in embarrassment, and kept looking at Chen Han from the corner of her eyes, looking ashamed as if she was eager to welcome.

Su Sa is still very satisfied with this primary school boy.

He is handsome and has a refined and easy-going personality. He is polite and full of scholarly atmosphere when getting along with each other in daily life. She loves this one so much!
Not to mention the archaeological team with a lot of crooked melons and dates, even if it is placed on a university campus, it is definitely a cherished stock at the school grass level!
If they can get on good terms with him, then the two of them must become a pair of Condor Heroes in the archaeological world?
Su Sa thought happily, the more she thought about it, the more shy she became, and the more she thought about it, the more she looked forward to it.

It's a pity that Chen Han didn't mean that at all, he shook his head and chuckled: "Teacher, you are making a mess of mandarin ducks."

"I just started working, and if I don't want to fall in love, don't delay my sister."

Well, very tactfully declined.

Kong Jianwen nodded indifferently.

He just casually mentioned that it would be better if Chen Han didn't fall in love, and his work would be more efficient.

"Okay, everyone pack up, it's time to get out of the car."

After chatting for a while, the bus arrived at the destination of this trip, Lajia Village.

Kong Jianwen, who was sitting in the front, saw the big archway in Lajia Village.

A few minutes later, the bus drove straight into the door of a residential building at the east end of the village.

"Get out of the car and assemble!"

"This building is the residence reserved for everyone in the institute, and we will live here in the next few months."

Chen Han put on his small backpack, followed behind the large army, and got out of the car through the back door.

As soon as he got out of the car, he saw a busy scene.

Centering on this private house contracted by the Institute of Archeology of the Academy of Social Sciences, a dozen or so small buildings nearby are busy.

The flags of the Red Team with the words "Hudong Provincial Archaeological Team", "Jiangsu-Zhejiang Archaeological Team" and "Central Plains Archaeological Institute" were hung in front of their respective buildings and fluttered in the wind.

After a rough count, Chen Han saw at least five or six archaeological teams from different parts of the country.

This made him a little speechless.

Sure enough, it's a big project, so many archaeological teams are dispatched at once!
At the same time, Kong Jianwen also took out a big red team flag from the car, and stuck it outside his residence.

The red flag embroidered with the eight characters "Archaeological Institute of the Academy of Social Sciences" is fluttering in the wind and hunting, announcing the arrival of the Academy of Social Sciences!

Looking at this team flag, Chen Han felt blood and passion for no reason!
Lajia Ruins, here I come!
