During the day, Su Yi was reading books in the farmhouse, and Li Yaoyao and his three brothers went for a stroll in the village.

The Western Zhou Dynasty was 3000 years ago. This period of history is too early, and the available information is actually so little. Even Wang Lao said that there is no record about Yuguo in history, and it is even more impossible for Su Yi to find relevant clues.Su Yi felt tired after reading for a while, so he took out his sketchbook to draw.

In the afternoon, Li Yaoyao and others came back, carrying a snakeskin bag and a plump pigeon.

Su Yi was slightly surprised: "Where did you steal the pigeons? Cook the soup?"

"Bah!" Li Yaoyao looked contemptuous: "This is a carrier pigeon! It was raised by my master!" After finishing speaking, he patted the fat pigeon's buttocks, "Isn't it, Si Niu?"

Su Yi was dumbfounded: "Four... cattle?"

Li Yaoyao leaned forward and glanced at Su Yi's sketchbook, with a look of disdain: "What are you thinking about!"

There was a drawing in the sketchbook of a man sitting naked by the window sill smoking a cigarette. Even though it was a profile sketch, it was still immediately recognizable that the person in the painting was Li Yaoyao.

Yu Yu rushed forward to take a look, but Li Yaoyao covered his eyes: "Hey, you can see the pornographic photos?" Then he turned around and yelled at Su Yi, "Hurry up and cover up my key parts! Don't let this bastard peep!"

Su Yi smiled, closed the sketchbook and put it away.

Si Niu cooed twice, Yu Yu abandoned Li Yaoyao and Su Yi, hugged the fat pigeon in her arms and smoothed her hair: "Hey, Su Yi, I'll read, you write a letter, and I'll send it back to Master."

"Bah!" Li Yaoyao said disgustedly: "I'll write it and let Lao Yu read it. After finishing a book, I won't be able to write the main topic."

Su Yi swallowed: "Is this really a carrier pigeon?" He stared at the big belly and small wings of the Si Niu fat racing hen in disbelief.

Li Yaoyao glared at him: "Don't you believe it? Si Niu can fly faster than an eagle!"

Su Yi laughed.

Li Yaoyao wrote a hundred or so words eloquently. Su Yi leaned over to read it. Li Yaoyao blocked his sight with his arm: "Go, go, what are you looking at?" In order to guard against Su Yi, he wrote in ugly words. It's even more scribbled, it's almost like a ghost drawing.

Su Yi frowned and looked at it for a while, with a confused look on his face: "You wrote oracle bone inscriptions?" In his mind, Nangong Gousheng, who is well versed in astronomy and geography, should disdain such a simple language as modern Chinese.

Li Yaoyao: "..."

After finishing writing the letter, Li Yaoyao folded the paper into a thin strip and stuffed it into the bamboo tube tied to the four oxen's feet, then carried it out and patted its butt: "Fly!"

Si Niu cooed twice, fluttered its wings and flew away across the field at low altitude with difficulty.

Li Yaoyao took out her mobile phone and started sending text messages.

Su Yi leaned forward and saw that Master was written in the recipient column, and couldn't help being very surprised: "Does your master have a mobile phone?"

Li Yaoyao responded casually: "Ah, send it again from the mobile phone, so as not to send the four cows to the wrong place."

Su Yi: "...then why do you use carrier pigeons..."

Li Yaoyao squinted at him with contempt: "What if the text message is swallowed by China Mobile?"

Su Yi: "..." So the only purpose of that fat pigeon sending the letter is to help it lose weight?

When Su Yi returned to the room, she found that She She and Yu Yu were constantly taking things out of the snakeskin bag. There were rusty copper bowls, clay pots with corrugated bottoms, and even a palm-sized copper tripod. .

Su Yi was dumbfounded: "How did you get it?"

Li Yaoyao said casually: "Since this is the ruins of the ancient fish country, the villagers must have dug up a lot of good things. They don't understand, and they will come here even if they coax and give some money."

Li Yaoyao's skills in cheating and deceiving are top-notch, and Yu Yu is not bad either, but the real master among the three seniors is actually She She, who always has a serious face and doesn't like to talk.

For example, if you meet someone on the road and ask where XX Mall is, the following scenario will appear.

Li Yaoyao obviously didn't know the way, but he waved his hand and said, "Go straight, cross three roads and turn left." Passerby A walked to the destination and looked up: XX Cancer Hospital.

Yu Yu didn't know the way either: "Hey, what are you doing in XX Mall? Let me tell you, all the goods sold there are fakes, and my buddy makes them there. The flour can be sold as pearl powder... What? You Listen to me, go left three streets and turn right, there is a YY shopping mall, where things are on sale!" Passerby B walked to the destination and looked up: XX Mental Hospital.

She Snake knew the way, and answered meticulously: "Ahead, station, 111, five stops. Turn to 222, stop six, and we're here." Passer-by C: "My friend said it's nearby?" She Snake was very serious: "He I lied to you." Passer-by C took the bus for a long time and got off, and found that the place where he got off was only one street away from the place where he got on the bus, and he turned his head to see: XX shopping mall.

Su Yi stepped forward and put the small bronze tripod in his palm, watching carefully.The bronze tripod is severely corroded, and the inner wall of the tripod is uneven, and it seems that there are micro-carvings on it, but it is not known what characters are engraved.Su Yi's face turned serious, and he dug out many tools from his carry-on bag, and began to carefully remove the powdery rust on the bronze ware.

Su Yi in this room concentrates on cleaning up the cultural relics, while the three in the other room pick out the things they like, put the ones they like in their pockets, and push all the things they don’t like to Su Yi, ready to hand him over to the archaeological team or leave them behind. For favorites.

The three brothers and sisters engaged in fighting not for money, but for hobby just like Su Yi joined the Archaeological Bureau.In addition to being interested in mysterious ancient tombs, each of the three has their own collection addiction.

Li Yaoyao likes to collect ancient jewellery, especially earrings; Yu Yu likes to collect all kinds of wine and tea sets; She She loves ancient weapons and ancient inkstones the most.

The light in the farmhouse was extremely dim, and there was only one forty-watt lamp in the nearly [-]-square-meter lobby.Su Yi concentrated on cleaning for three hours, and the characters on the inner wall of the bronze vessel took shape.His eyes were so dazzled that he couldn't even see Li Yaoyao's face clearly two meters away, so he put the small bronze cauldron aside, rubbed his eyes and said, "It's almost time, let's go."

Li Yaoyao stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder: "You can rest today. You don't need to make a hole, so go to bed early."

Su Yi's mind was still on the small bronze tripod. After thinking about it, he didn't refuse: "Okay."

Not long after the three of them left, Su Yi waited for his eyesight to recover a little, then found a few candles and lit them, and continued to clean the copperware under the dim light.

At six o'clock in the morning, the three clay figurines returned to the farm house and found Su Yi asleep with his head on the table.

Li Yaoyao stepped forward with a displeased face, and gently hugged him.Su Yi was very thin, at 1.7 meters eight, he was only a little over [-] catties, and Li Yaoyao carried him up and down without any effort.Su Yi fell into a deep sleep and did not wake up, allowing Li Yaoyao to carry him into the room.

When Li Yaoyao came out, she found that Yu Yu and She She were comparing Su Yi's notebook with the small copper tripod. on the notebook.His copying and drawing skills are top-notch, and comparing the two sides, they are not bad at all.

The bronze inscriptions engraved on the small bronze tripod were roughly recognized by Li Yaoyao. After looking at it for a while, she pointed to a small line of inscriptions in separate paragraphs and said: "These words are 'Mu Wangman made Mi Yubo's utensils'. Explanation This thing was given to Uncle Mi Yu by Ji Man, King Mu of Zhou."

The three guys who came back from digging the hole were not very interested in the small copper tripod, and Li Yaoyao couldn't recognize all the inscriptions on the bronze, so she just looked at it for a while and then put it down to sleep.

At noon, Su Yi was the first to wake up, finished copying the bronze inscriptions carved in the bronze tripod, and immediately took a photo and sent it to Xiao Qiao, and specifically told him not to hand over the inscriptions to others.

Xiao Qiao's name is Qiao Yu, he is between thirty and four, but he has a baby face, so everyone calls him Xiao Qiao.Xiao Qiao is an ancient linguist, proficient in oracle bone inscriptions, bronze inscriptions, small seal script and so on.He is Su Yi's senior brother, and the relationship between the two is very good. As a senior, he often supports Su Yi, and he always thinks of Su Yi when he has any benefits.

In the evening, when Yu She and Li came out after packing up their tools, Li Yaoyao asked Su Yi, "Are you going tonight? The robbery hole has almost been opened."

Su Yi nodded, put the sketchbook in his bag, and followed the three of them to the terraced fields.

At two o'clock in the morning, Yu Yu and She She took the lead in digging through the first robbery hole. The slender She She climbed into the tomb, Yu Yu passed the cultural relics among the robbery holes, and Li Yaoyao and Su Yi squatted. Respond outside the cave.

She She brought out a lot of bronze and jade wares such as goblets, pans, and statues, as well as weapons such as short swords and Getou.After a while, She She's muffled voice came from the ground: "Shovel."

Li Yaoyao hurriedly shoveled Luoyang down.

There was a sound of digging from the ground, and Li Yaoyao asked puzzledly, "Old She, what are you doing?"

She She said, "There is another tomb."

After a while, the two natives crawled out of the pit, and they couldn't help being startled: there were two whole snakeskin bags of spoils!It must be known that She Snake only takes some small treasures, such as jewellery, weapons, cups, and cultural relics such as bells and tripods that are used as ritual vessels.

Su Yi asked: "Brother, what else is there?"

She She replied absent-mindedly: "Pottery pieces, tripods, and bells."

Su Yi asked again: "Two tombs?"

She She nodded: "Two coffins, one male and one female."

"Hehe~" Yu Yu laughed and said, "The husband and wife are buried together in the tomb."

Su Yi thought for a while, then put the sketchbook and pen into his pocket: "I'll go down and have a look."

Li Yaoyao squatted on the ground to pick out cultural relics, and replied casually: "Be careful."

Su Yi slowly crawled in along the robber's hole, and accidentally hit a hard object on his hip, causing him to gasp in pain. "hiss……"

Two seconds later, Li Yaoyao's angry voice came from the ground: "Hello!"

Su Yi smiled and shouted: "It's okay, just knocked it off."

Li Yaoyao muttered: "The weak ones are like chickens."

Su Yi picked out the thing that knocked him, and took a picture with the flashlight. It was just a piece of ordinary gravel.He put the gravel in his pocket and continued to crawl inside.

Yubo's tomb is not deep, and he climbed to the bottom in a short time.

There are five tripods and four gui in the first tomb. According to the etiquette system of the Western Zhou Dynasty, the identity of the owner of the tomb is a prince at that time.Su Yi carefully inspected the five tripods and four gui, and found that most of them had been corroded, and only the bronze inscriptions engraved on it could be vaguely seen on the inner wall of one bronze tripod.

Su Yi immediately took out his sketchbook and copied the bronze inscriptions.

After doing this, he went into another tomb.

The inner and outer coffins in the second tomb have been opened by She Snake, and all the funerary objects in the inner and outer coffins have been taken away. There is a layer of scorched cloth on the bones that are not well preserved, and the patterns on them can be vaguely seen, which should be 3000 years ago. of silk.It is extremely difficult to preserve silk, and it is very rare to still have some of it left.Feeling sorry in his heart, Su Yi closed the coffin lid for the tomb owner, turned his head and left the tomb.

When Su Yi climbed to the ground, Li Yaoyao and the others had almost packed up their things.

"Let's go, it's almost dawn, and we'll dig another tomb tomorrow." Li Yaoyao said, looking for something to cover up the hole.

Su Yi carefully took out the sketchbook from his pocket, put it on the ground, and packed up his things.

Li Yaoyao opened his sketchbook, took a look, pointed to a word and said, "I know this one. Ji, the surname of the royal family of Zhou."

In fact, both Su Yi and Li Yaoyao knew little about bronze inscriptions, and they could still recognize common characters like this.

Su Yi nodded solemnly: "This is the surname of the owner of the second tomb."

Li Yaoyao was about to say something when suddenly a bright light shone towards them in the distance.

A male voice yelled, "What are you doing!"
