In the afternoon, the group of teachers and students finally arrived at the site of the ancient tomb they were excavating, gasping for breath as they collapsed onto the nearby patch of grass.
The tomb had already been partially dug out, with yellow soil piled up around its perimeter. From the edge, they could see the architectural structure of the tombs that had been excavated, with several entrances and exits available.
The supervisor, Zhang Ying, crawled up from below, dusting himself off before scanning the group of newcomers. His gaze finally settled on the middle-aged man standing among them, "Good day, Professor Yan."
Yan Jia looked well-rested and calmly removed the cloth mask from his mouth and nose, acknowledging the greeting with a polite smile, "Good day, and thank you for your hard work."
