Chapter 12 The eternal mother's love

After Zhuang Yunpeng discovered the jade, it was like a chain reaction.

In the following days, Chen Han, Su Sa and others also began to explore the F4 area one after another, and discovered countless pottery, stones, bones, jade articles and jade materials one after another.

The total number of these unearthed artifacts amounts to about sixty.

In addition, they were also completely sure that No. F4 was indeed a house address.

Because as the excavation progressed, Chen Han discovered traces of white plaster on the four walls and ground of the F4 exploration building.

Even on the living side of the house, traces of fire were found.

These two points are enough to prove that the F4 exploration site is indeed a ruins of a house.

Because plastering the house with whitewash and baking it with fire were both methods used by the ancestors of the Neolithic Age to dehumidify their houses.

Doing this will make the house dry, more comfortable to live in, and less likely to leak on rainy days.

However, this discovery is no longer important to Chen Han and others.

Because they have an even more important archaeological discovery!

During a full month and a half of archaeological work.

Except for the first half month, they were busy excavating the unearthed pottery, stones, jade and utensils.

For the next month, they were busy cleaning up the bones!

In F4, an inconspicuous exploratory, Chen Han and others discovered a total of 14 skeletons, including the skeleton of a young woman!

A total of 14 skeletons appeared in a house with a length and width of less than five meters. This is obviously not a normal situation.

Even a situation that cannot be easily explained!

After making sure that all the skeletons in the entire exploratory were cleared out and no one was missing, Chen Han immediately found his teacher.

After Kong Wenjian heard the news, he led a large number of people to the F4 exploration site at the No. 1 construction site.

Qinghai Archaeological Institute, Jiangsu and Zhejiang Archaeological Institute, Henan Archaeological Institute, National Museum Archaeological Team...

All the archaeological teams that came to support the Lajia site sent people to follow Kong Wenjian to join in the fun.

The staff responsible for archaeological records, holding long guns and short cannons, carefully took pictures of the large and small skeletons unearthed in the exploration area.

Kong Wenjian couldn't wait to get down from the Tanfang and headed straight for the many skeletons in the Tanfang.

"Everything has been cleaned up?"

"A total of fourteen?"

Chen Han and Zhuang Yunpeng quickly followed him and said in a heavy tone: "Everything has been cleared out. The situation is very complicated."

Very complicated?

Kong Wenjian turned his head and glanced at Chen Han, but he took back some of the words he was about to blurt out.

Let’s look at the situation first and then talk.

He and the leaders of several other archaeological institutes took a serious look at the situation inside the expedition.

Chen Han, who was on the side, also explained in a timely manner: "The skeletons unearthed from the F4 site are very different from previous archaeological discoveries."

"When the fourteen skeletons were unearthed, some were lying on their sides with bent limbs, some were prostrate on the ground, some had their upper limbs involved, and some were kneeling on the ground, with different postures, presenting a complex situation."

"It seems like a sudden and irresistible disaster, the state of death in an instant."

Chen Han led the leaders of various archaeological institutes and archaeological teams to the first skeleton unearthed from the F4 expedition, which was the one of a young woman and a child stacked together.

"Teacher, look."

Pointing to the skeleton leaning against the wall, Chen Han said in a serious tone: "This mother is holding a baby in her arms, kneeling on the ground, and the heads of the baby and the mother are leaning against each other."

"The mother hugged the child tightly, and the child's head was buried deep in the mother's chest."

"This is completely a scene of helplessness and fear when disaster suddenly strikes."

In fact, Chen Han didn't need too much introduction. When they saw the skeleton in the corner, they already understood everything.

Even though four thousand years have passed, this mother's expression of helplessness, panic, and begging God for help when a disaster suddenly strikes is still vivid and moving.

It's not just her.

About one meter away to the left of this skeleton, there is another skeleton that is even more touching.

A mother is kneeling on the ground, using her body to protect the baby in her arms.

The baby in her arms is holding her mother's waist tightly with both hands. The mother's face is facing up and her jaw is stretched forward, as if she was still raising her head to pray to the sky to give the young child a way to live.

Just from her body movements, it seemed that she could hear her helpless prayers to heaven.

In addition, in the southeast corner of the site, there are the skeletons of a family of four, who are also huddled in a corner.

The outermost skeleton appeared to have broad limbs, and it was obvious that it was a male.

There is also a slightly thinner female skeleton in its arms, which should be his wife.

In the wife's arms were the skeletons of two children.

It is worth mentioning that even after all this time, only the skeleton remains of the body, but the facial expression of this man is still clearly distinguishable.

He opened his mouth wide, and seemed to let out bursts of piercing screams. He seemed to be roaring to heaven, roaring and asking God why it did this to him.

Similarly, under the base of the north wall of the house, there is a skeleton lying on the ground with arms spread out.

Under her body were the skeletons of three children.

This is another mother who protects her child under her body.

What they went through is unimaginable.

I can't even imagine how panic they must have felt at that time!

But what's even more cruel is...

These mothers and fathers who tried to use their bodies to hold on and leave some hope of shelter for their children, even if they tried their best with their lives, could only keep the children around them alive for a moment longer.

Six adults, eight children, a family of all ages, the mother protected the children, and relatives hugged each other, no one survived!

But in the face of this sudden and unknown disaster, the scene of him immediately risking his own life to save his child is extremely touching and makes people sigh in astonishment.

All the archaeologists, scholars, and researchers present became silent after seeing the tragic situation inside the F4 exploratory, and were deeply impressed by this maternal love that transcended time and space.

Perhaps from the perspective of modern people, these people are just a group of backward and ignorant "primitive people" who lived four thousand years ago.

But the maternal love they showed, which has remained unchanged since ancient times, deeply shocked everyone.

From burial to excavation, a full four thousand years have passed.

Four thousand years have passed, and the sea has turned into a mulberry field.

But these ancestors who once ran on the land four thousand years ago, have the same blood and the same culture as us.

But at the last moment of her life, she used her last instinct to tell us about the maternal love that has not changed for thousands of years!
