Chapter 196: Digging Up Something That Should Not Be There
"Someone died? What happened?" Rong Yu's voice revealed anxiety.
The subordinate who reported the news said breathlessly: "This morning... this morning, when the workers were digging the foundation, they suddenly... suddenly dug up something."
"What did you dig out?" Tong Luoluo asked, frowning.
"It's...it's bones, human bones!" The subordinate answered stutteringly, obviously frightened.
Qingying asked calmly, "Are you sure these are human bones? Could they be from animals?"
"No, there's no doubt about it. Those bones are obviously human," the man replied affirmatively. "And they look very old."
Rong Yu took a deep breath and said, "Let's go and take a look."
The three of them quickly rushed to the construction site, only to see the workers had formed a circle and were talking. When they saw Rong Yu, Qing Ying and Tong Luoluo coming, the workers automatically made way for them.
In a corner of the foundation, a pile of bones can be seen. Although they are very old, they can still be seen as human skeletons.
"What's going on?" Rong Yu looked around, frowning. "Didn't we do geological exploration on this construction site before? How come there are human bones?"
“I don’t know, leader.” The person in charge of the construction site replied with a bitter face, “We did conduct a detailed geological survey before and didn’t find any problems. This… this is really an accident.”
Tong Luoluo squatted down and observed the bones carefully. "These bones look very old. Maybe they are from ancient tombs."
"An ancient tomb? How could there be a tomb here?" Rong Yu asked puzzledly.
Qingying pondered for a moment, "Maybe this was once an ancient battlefield or a group of ancient tombs, but was forgotten for some reason."
"What should we do now?" the person in charge of the construction site asked anxiously, "This project is a key project in the city and cannot be delayed."
Rong Yu waved his hand and said, "Stop the construction for now. We must investigate this matter thoroughly. We cannot continue construction without knowing the situation."
Tong Luoluo nodded, "Yes, we must respect the dead and be responsible for history."
After returning to the base, the three immediately began to search for historical data about this land. After some effort, they finally found some clues. It turned out that this land was once a small village hundreds of years ago, but it was later destroyed by war and the villagers fled. This small village was forgotten by time until it was discovered by them now.
"I see." Rong Yu sighed, "These bones should be those of the innocent villagers."
"Then what should we do?" Tong Luoluo asked, "We can't just leave it alone like this."
Qingying suggested: "We can contact the archaeological department and ask them to excavate and protect these remains."
"Yes, this is a good idea." Rong Yu agreed, "We are not only responsible for these remains, but also for this period of history...."
"No, this will delay the progress of the project. We have advanced 500 million this time. If the progress of the project is delayed, we will not be able to get the project payment, which will be troublesome!"
Tong Luoluo objected immediately!
"So what do you say?"
"Let them stop first, block the news, and let's go take a look!" Tong Luoluo took Rong Yu and Qingying to the construction site!
The three of them arrived at the construction site, only to see the bones so white under the sun that they were blindingly pale, and the air around them seemed to be frozen.
"We have to deal with these things as soon as possible." Tong Luoluo looked around and said in a low voice.
Rong Yu frowned and looked at the pile of bones. "The archaeological department won't move that fast, and once they get involved, this project will really be stopped for a long time."
“But we can’t just leave it alone,” Qingying insisted. “This is history, the memory of the people who once lived here.”
Tong Luoluo took a deep breath and said, "I know, but we also have to consider the reality. This project is very important to our company and the development of the city."
Suddenly, a worker came running over, "Boss, we found something strange."
The three followed the workers to a small pit that had just been dug, and saw a rusty iron box in the pit.
"What is this?" Rong Yu asked curiously.
The worker carefully picked up the iron box and opened it. Inside was a yellowed piece of paper covered with ancient words.
"Is this...ancient Chinese?" Qingying looked at the paper in surprise. "This may be an important clue."
"What ancient text?"
Rong Yu stretched his neck to see what was going on, but he couldn't understand it either!
"This ancient writing seems to be an ancient writing. It is normal that we can't understand it!" Qingying also echoed from the side!
"Yes, it's right that you can't understand it. If everyone can understand it, then it's not a secret!" Tong Luoluo said!
"We have to find someone who can understand this text." Rong Yu said in a deep voice, raising his eyes from the yellowed paper, his face full of seriousness.
Tong Luoluo nodded, "Yes, this may be the key to our understanding of the stories behind these bones."
"I know an expert in ancient Chinese characters. I can contact him." Qingying said as she took out her cell phone and started dialing.
Not long after, Qingying contacted the expert and agreed on a meeting time and place.
The three of them rushed to the agreed location with the yellowed paper. The expert was an old man with white hair. He looked at the paper with excitement in his eyes.
"This is... this is a very ancient writing. I haven't seen it for many years." said the expert in a trembling voice.
"Can you interpret it?" Rong Yu asked anxiously.
The old man nodded and said, "Give me some time. I need to study it carefully."
While waiting, the three of them were very nervous because they knew that the content on this piece of paper might reveal the secrets behind the bones.
Finally, the old man raised his head and said, "I have deciphered it. This is a record of the history of that small village."
"What's written on it?" Tong Luoluo asked impatiently.
The old man slowly recounted the ancient history. It turned out that the small village was once the site of a mysterious tribe, which hid a powerful force. Later, due to the invasion of foreign enemies, the people of the tribe paid a huge sacrifice to protect this force.
“Those bones are the remains of the tribal warriors.” The old man said, with a glimmer of respect in his eyes.
After hearing this, the three were speechless, and they finally understood the story behind the bones. It turned out that what those warriors guarded with their lives was not only the secret of a tribe, but also a belief and dignity.
"What should we do?" Rong Yu asked in a low voice.
“We must respect this history and the sacrifices of those brave warriors,” Qingying said firmly, “This project cannot go on.”
Tong Luoluo sighed, "I know, but how are we going to explain this to the city? This project is their main focus."
Rong Yu took a deep breath and said, "We need to communicate with the city and let them know the importance of this period of history. I believe they will understand."
At this time, the expert sighed deeply and continued!
"What's even more mysterious is that it seems that the underground is not a simple ancient tomb, but a treasure warehouse!"
"storehouse?"
Tong Luoluo asked with eyes wide open!
"Yes, look at this box, isn't it written on it that it is the third level of the North Warehouse..."
"So, we really dug up an ancient tomb?"
"should be......"
Clues to ancient history and culture.
The news quickly spread throughout the city, attracting widespread attention and discussion.
People flocked to the construction site to see this important historical discovery with their own eyes.
Rong Yu, Qing Ying and Tong Luoluo have also received widespread praise and respect for their discoveries and efforts.
They not only protected this important historical heritage, but also revealed more secrets about ancient history and culture.
In this process, the three people also deeply realized the importance of protecting historical heritage.
They decided to continue to devote themselves to this cause and contribute their own strength to the protection and inheritance of historical culture.
At the same time, they were also aware of the dangers that this discovery might bring.
They know that some greedy people may resort to illegal means for these precious artifacts and jewels.
Therefore, they decided to strengthen security to ensure that these cultural relics can be properly protected.
So, the three of them began to develop a series of security measures. They contacted a professional security company, conducted a comprehensive safety inspection of the site, and developed a detailed security plan.
At the same time, they also strengthened the supervision of the construction site to ensure that no one could enter and damage the site at will. They also reported the situation to the city leaders and received their full support.
With the help of relevant departments, they successfully applied for a special fund to strengthen security work and the protection of cultural relics.
This funding not only helped them improve their security level, but also provided them with more resources and support.
As time goes by, the discovery of this ancient tomb has attracted more and more attention and attention.
But Tong Luoluo has other plans!
She knew that there must be some secret behind this ancient tomb, and she wanted to know the secret. While everyone was busy excavating the tomb, she carefully observed what was dug out!
