Xueba system prevents me from moving bricks

Chapter 13 Archaeological Excavation Site

After chatting for a while, for an hour or so, the old lady decided to leave to find the quarry where her husband works.

"I brought a little gift today, and I have seen my relatives, so I am relieved that they are all doing well. I will come to visit another day." Seeing that she was leaving, Li Ning had just said a few words to Wu Qingqing and hadn't talked yet. Enough, the two just chatted about what they did after they separated a few days ago.He still felt that Wu Qingqing's life was richer, but his life was not bad either. Although he was a rural man, he still attracted the little girl's attention.

In his view, the city is like an advanced evolution of the countryside.

My mother wanted to keep them for dinner, but the old lady refused, she couldn't be stubborn.

"Let's go, young man! How about going to the excavation site together?" said the old lady, who was still interested in seeing the two children, and instead wanted Li Ning to go with them.

"Okay!" Li Ning agreed, the grandma wanted him to see the world anyway, it's a good thing, she should agree to go to the scene to see.I have been a mason and brick mover for half my life, so I should also go to see the world, to see the chaos or chaos of the world.

He was not interested in these things at first, cultural relics, antiques, those ancient scrolls placed in museums with a long history, it is difficult for him to have the opportunity to get in touch with these, and only game phones can be twisted, and they are by his side .

After working in a city for half a year, although I have a good understanding of the map route of a city, I also know roughly where various attractions, landmarks, museums, and amusement parks are.

But something else stood in his way.Prejudice is one, lack of time is another.

Tired and used to it, suddenly idle and don't know what to do, that's how he feels in a big city.But he still likes big cities. Once he stopped before, he was at a loss and his energy quickly dissipated. Once, due to the shutdown of the construction site for a month, he and his workers used the libraries, museums, amusement parks, pedestrian streets, and major shopping malls in S City to play. I have read it all over, especially in the S City Museum, which may be due to the ancient fossils, exuding a dense cultural aroma, which always gives people a feeling of drowsiness. Those ancient twisted textures are mixed with Zhoukoudian thousands of years ago. The fragrance of the soil on the savage's body hypnotized him. Of course, it is also possible that the stone tools used by the Sanxingdui girl confused his mind as a migrant worker.Within three days of visiting the museum, he didn't think about eating and drinking, his whole body was weak, and he couldn't lift his spirits. It seemed that the leisure time had weakened his non-existent will, and he was supported by a walking dead. He had a complete showdown when it came to examining the flesh.He couldn't figure out why he was such a cheap person who liked work more than leisure.

If he was born in the wrong age, he would be called a scab. Even now, if he is in the upper class where the competition for beating workers is more fierce, his behavior will be accused of being a criminal.But in this day and age, there are not many young people like him. He tentatively calls himself a young man, and they are not willing to work on construction sites or factories.

The young people are obviously much smaller than in previous years, and he can feel it tomorrow morning.The young people in the village no longer want to be fooled into moving bricks out of town.

Naturally, no one blamed him, our industry is still very short of people, we need young blood!
At that time, he thought, if he had the opportunity to change his life in the future, or go back to the past, he knew what he would do. ideal!

Indeed, he has ideals.

But, it's useless, at least for now.

***
The group had just set off, and Li Xiang was going to play games with Li Ning in the afternoon to clear the level.

"Where are you going?" He stopped Li Ning at the entrance of the village.

"I'm going to the quarry, do you want to come?"

The old man looked at this big fat boy who was wearing plain and pure autumn chrysanthemum yellow pants and nothing on his upper body, and was noncommittal.

"Your friend is very unique!" said the old lady.

Li Ning looked embarrassed, and pulled the little fat man Li to make him go back and put on his clothes, and there was a girl here.

"Don't be surprised!" Li wanted to explain. "I don't mind at all. I'll come back after I go and have a look. I haven't been there for a long time. I want to go and have a look."

Seeing that Li Ning was still unwilling to join him, he explained, "I have to come back for lunch at noon, so far away in the quarry, I can't hear my mother calling me to eat, and I will be scolded when I go home."

He'll just have to let him do what he wants, as long as you're happy, he thought.

Li wanted to tell Li Ning some gossip on the road. He heard that the quarry was not a clean place, and it was haunted at night, which was quite scary.The ghosts there would cry and make noise in the cave, and strangers would be intimidated and frightened as soon as they entered, and several workers were afraid to leave.You see, none of the villagers went there. Everyone in the village knew that it was not clean and that it was haunted.

Wu Qingqing and her grandma were present, Li Ning didn't want to say anything about ghosts, so he had to agree with Li Xiang, seeing that he was not interested, Li Xiang didn't say anything anymore.

The old grandma heard Li Xiang's whispers from behind, and couldn't help muttering to her granddaughter not to believe these things.

The quarry has nothing to do with Li Ning's life, but occasionally the firecrackers blasting the rocks in the distance startle people.

A group of people went to the quarry under the hillside. Not far away was the lake. The place where the water and the sky lined up was dyed dark blue by the sky, and white clouds drifted above. The weather was not bad, with a little wind blowing, just camped here archaeological team tent.In the distance, people in twos and threes gathered together and wiped something with small tools.

A figure looked towards them from a long distance, staring intently.

When they got close, the old grandma communicated with the old grandpa.

"It's been so long, do you feel homesick, my wife?" she asked.

"I want to! But the work has to be done!" The old man said with a smile, kindly, and said to his wife.

"Grandpa!" Before grandma finished speaking, the girl called out, pulling at the corner of grandpa's clothes.Practicing this and that at home every day makes me feel depressed, but it’s better to come out and play comfortably!Grandpa would not tell her to do this or that.Grandpa touches granddaughter's head and smiles.

The old grandma put her arm on the grandpa's and became intimate, then she turned to the children.

"This is the child of Yuecui's family that I told you on the phone a few days ago. His family lives not far from yours. We just came from his family." Grandma said.

"Oh, how are you guys! You can just call me Grandpa Wu." The old man said, "Come on, I'll show you what we dug up. This time it's not a small harvest. Soon the research on dinosaurs There will be new breakthroughs."

He pointed to a stone skeleton in a pile of stones not far away, so excited that even though he was old, he still couldn't hide the childish habits in his heart.

"Young man, I heard that you are very smart, do you know what these are?" Grandpa Wu looked at the child in front of him.

"It should be a dinosaur fossil. But I don't know what it is. According to the news, it is an ichthyosaur."

"Yes, that's the tone of our archaeological team. Have you heard of Darwin's theory of evolution?" The old professor tried to test how much he knew, and quizzed him.

"I've heard that natural selection is the survival of the fittest." Li Ning said that he only knew so much, so it would be obvious if he continued.But he was about to confess.

"That's all I know."

"Knowing this is already great, for children like you." Grandpa Wu praised him.Reptiles used to come from the sea to the land. They gradually evolved, and some gradually evolved and developed. Later, they simply climbed trees, and then came down from trees, and gradually became humans.Some returned to the sea again, which happened 2.45 million years ago, and became the first dragon to go to the sea—the ichthyosaur.It's beautiful isn't it? "Grandpa Wu pointed to the skeleton in front of him.

"The fossil you see in front of you now is that of the Brachysaurus soft-armed."

Li Ning kept looking at the fossil in front of him. From the moment he entered the scene, he found this big guy, 4 to 5 meters long, like a huge fishbone skeleton, but presented in front of his eyes in the form of bones.

"It's like our mammalian ancestors, some of them returned to the sea and became whales and dolphins. It's a process of returning to the sea. It's just that the ichthyosaurs entered the sea 2.45 million years ago, and the mammals of whales and dolphins The ancestors went to sea about 4 to 5 million years ago."

"Why are they so interested in going into the sea?" Li Ning asked curiously.

"The young man asked a very deep question!" Grandpa Wu said, looking at the big lake in the distance and fell into a moment of contemplation.

"The reasons for these two species are not quite the same. First of all, at the end of the Permian, the most serious mass extinction occurred on the earth. 90% of marine animals and most of the land animals and plants were wiped out! Some reptiles flocked to survive. Entering the ocean, you become an ichthyosaur. As for the ancestors of whales and dolphins, they may have gone into the sea because of organ changes that made them more suitable for survival in water. From this point of view, their starting point is the same, to survive better!"

The old professor's explanation attracted everyone to nod and praise, and the children also gained a lot.

Li Ning also fell into thinking.

yes!All life in this world came to this world to survive. How can there be any creatures that are pretentiously obsessed with the ocean?That's just a romantic expression, self-deception!Why was I sent to this era, and why am I obsessed with this point in time?Is it also for survival?he thinks.Some mystery filled his chest like a thick fog.

Later, grandpa introduced a lot of knowledge to them, such as several swimming styles of animals in the water: there is an eel swimming style that swings the whole body in waves, then it evolves to a trout swimming style that swings its head and tail, and finally a tuna that only swings its tail row style.

His colleagues are also very amiable and modest.Li Ning also saw the grandfather of Donghai City, a retired biology professor who told him a lot of environmental protection knowledge last time, and heard Grandpa Wu call him Lao Zhang.He retired to join in the fun and pay attention to the latest project progress.The two should have known each other a long time ago.

Li Ning didn't go back until the evening. He didn't see Li Xiang. He didn't know when this kid left. He might have sneaked away while they were wandering around the fossil pit.
