The two professors and two teaching assistants accepted the French fries and hamburgers that Ding Mo brought back without hesitation. They opened the packages in front of her and started to eat them.

They couldn’t stand the working lunch either! It was their first time participating in this project, so they had no idea it would be like this. But because the students were there, I could only set an example and hold on.

After they finished their hamburgers, they immediately started praising Ding Mo.

The old professor from the archaeology department was over 60 years old, named Li Jingting. After he finished eating, he said to Ding Mo, "If you want to take the postgraduate entrance examination in the future, you must let me take you!"

The presence of professors of archaeology in University B is basically not much different from the national treasure giant panda, because they are too rare. I traded a hamburger for a graduate supervisor. It's really a good deal!

With this normal meal as a foundation, Qiao Guang's diarrhea was almost cured, and the next day he joined the team doing heavy physical work in high spirits.

Professor Li was not just talking when he asked Ding Mo to apply for his graduate degree. He has been observing this girl these days.

Generally speaking, they don't like to take female students in this major, because female students are delicate and can't stand hardships. In addition, female students are weak, and there are a lot of hard work in archaeological field work, and female students' physical strength is simply not enough.

But after observing Ding Mo for only one day, he discovered that this girl was a determined person.

Everyone is afraid of hardship, and no one wants to seek hardship when they have nothing to do. No one studies archaeology to endure hardships, but Ding Mo will find ways to overcome these difficulties.

The little girl never stopped working throughout the whole day. She might not be able to do heavy work, but she was very good at detailed work. She was a patient and careful student.

And Wu You is also a good candidate. He looks like a nerd, but he has solid basic skills.

Both of these students were able to apply the theories they learned from books in their freshman and sophomore years very well into practical operations. We really found two treasures among this undergraduate class.

It's not just about a midnight snack, of course it's true that every student who is good at dealing with things wants it.

Professor Li became more and more satisfied the more he watched, so he took Ding Mo and the other two to start teaching personally.

The professor of history department was not to be outdone and directly called Qi Zan and Qiao Guang over to study the patterns on a stone pillar together.

The purpose of their on-site research is to conduct scientific research, to study the production and living styles of humans at that time through the on-site architectural forms, texts, paintings, etc. They are not like those archaeologists who have to dig everywhere with a shovel, nor are they like some members of the working group. Their goal is to restore this place as much as possible.

After a day, Ding Mo finally understood why Qi Zan was so keen on participating in on-site projects with his tutor during the previous holidays. Because if you are on the scene, those historical scenes will be vivid in front of you.

This is much more real than the scenes described in textbooks and literature!

Gradually, in the rich academic atmosphere, several students have adapted to life here.

The hot climate is still unbearable, and the work meals are still unpalatable, but those are things that I can grit my teeth and persevere. When I really can't hold on, I'll hide in the shade of a tree when it's hot, and go back to the night market for a meal when I'm hungry.

In fact, Professor Li often looked like he was eagerly waiting for Ding Mo to feed him. For the sake of his future mentor, Ding Mo had to occasionally ride his tricycle to buy supplies for them.

Seeing them frequently appearing in front of this store, the car-stealing kids never attacked them again, but they were seen stealing the wallets of some tourists several times. They were powerless to change these things, so they naturally did not participate.

Until one day, Qiao Guang and his friends stayed in the hotel and didn't want to move, so Ding Mo and Qi Zan came out alone to buy midnight snacks for everyone.

They saw with their own eyes a child being caught stealing the wallet of a tall, strong white man.

The white man picked up the skinny child with one hand, threw him to the ground, and then beat him up. The child could not withstand his punches, and soon there were many bruises on his face and body. The white man also kicked him on the shin bone, and Ding Mo could hear the child's screams from a distance.

The people around just watched and no one stepped forward to stop it.

Ding Mo pushed through the crowd and wanted to rush forward to stop the white man, but she was held tightly by Qi Zan.

Qi Zan shook his head at her.

The child was a thief, a repeat offender, and it was not reasonable for her to protect a thief. But if she didn't rush out, the child would definitely be seriously injured, and it was hard to say whether his legs would be disabled.

But Qi Zan motioned her to look around. A few strong men came out from the crowd and surrounded the white man. Judging from their attire, they should be locals.

Without further ado, the locals took the white man and his two companions away.

Things changed so suddenly that Ding Mo didn't have time to react, but the crowd of onlookers dispersed quietly.

"Is this... thieves robbing thieves?" Ding Mo asked Qi Zan in a low voice.

Qi Zan had long noticed that there were a few local strong men mixed in the crowd. They either had tattoos or scars on their bodies and did not look like good people.

When the child was caught and beaten, they just stood by and watched, and only went up to the white man when he was getting more and more excited. It was obvious that it was premeditated. As for whether the white man was taken away to extort money or for some other purpose, they had no idea.

Ding Mo suddenly felt sorry for the child lying in pain on the ground. It turned out that he was just a tool. She suddenly wanted to go forward, help the child up and take him to the hospital.

However, someone was quicker than him. The child fell to the ground and no one around was looking at him anymore. A figure rushed out quickly, picked up the child, turned around and left, quickly disappearing at a fork in the road.

Ding Mo broke free from Qi Zan and quickly chased after him, regardless of Qi Zan's desperate calls for her from behind.

She had to catch up with that person.

She saw the man carry the child into a room, close the door and never come out again. Ding Mo didn't dare to go forward and knock on the door rashly, so she had to retreat to the street corner and hide in a dark corner, staring at the door without blinking.

Qi Zan caught up and was about to ask Ding Mo what was going on when he found that Ding Mo was trembling all over and tears were in his eyes.

Qi Zan could only stay by her side quietly and look at the closed door with her.

About half an hour later, the door was finally opened and a figure walked out. It was not until he was about to reach the street corner that he discovered Ding Mo standing in the shadows.

The figure suddenly stopped, and a flash of fire came with a click, and he lit a cigarette at the other end.

"Oh, miss, you are so patient!" said the man.
