slack farmer in the wasteland

Chapter 479 Curiosity

Only Cang Hai went to the village. Originally, Hu Shijie wanted Ping An or Lin Jinyong to follow him, but Cang Hai refused.

The work in the field has not been finished yet, how can two or three people stroll outside at once, how can it work, even if it is pretending, you have to stay at home and whitewash it, selling melons every year to make so much money can’t be called People look lazy and earn money, and they have to pretend to be hardworking.

At about 04:30, after some simple preparations, Canghai set off with Ugly Donkey and three other second-generation mules, the children of Ugly Donkey.

There were more than [-] archaeologists, old and young, sitting on the four carts. Other than that, most of them were eating and drinking. These people did not bring much digging stuff with them, and half of the carts were not full.

I thought this journey would be quite boring, because the person sitting next to Cang Hai was a 60-year-old man with white hair. The old man’s surname was Zhang. Cang Hai followed everyone and called him Mr. Zhang, but he didn’t know it was Mr. Zhang. , or what Zhang Gong called anyway, and Cang Hai didn't plan to marry the old man, so he knew why so clearly.

Cang Hai didn't expect that there was a 30-year age difference between himself and the old man, and they would talk and laugh along the way.

It's not that Cang Hai is eloquent, but that this Zhang Gong is a wonderful person, regardless of his age, but his personality is like a child, and he is full of witty remarks. He and Cang Hai are called brothers and brothers, and they talked about digging graves. The matter was even more eloquent, and Cang Hai listened with great interest, and the distress in his heart about being arrested as a strong man disappeared instantly.

"That year, we received a report from the following, saying that someone in the village was watering the field. After the water was released, the two of them waited for the water to come in by the field, but after waiting for half an hour, no water came in, so the two got up. Go and see what's going on, and when the two of you get to the place, you can see, my good fellow, a big whirlpool has appeared in the ground, and all the water has been sucked into this whirlpool."

"It hasn't been filled in half an hour? How big is this vortex?" Cang Hai asked.

"You heard me go on to say that these two people are quite knowledgeable and of high quality. You can guess at a glance that this may be an ancient tomb. People from Guanzhong. Many people in the village have done this education, so the two When people saw it, they immediately reported it to the Cultural Relics Bureau!"

When Zhang Gong said this, he took a break, saw that Cang Hai obediently handed over the water bottle that he carried with him, took it with a smile, took a small sip, then made a noise, and wiped his beard Continue to speak.

"At that time, my teacher led the team. I was less than 30 years old at that time, about the same age as you are now. After the archaeological team arrived, the water gap was blocked, and a big black hole was exposed. When I came out, I stretched my head to look, and my heart sank, because the hole was too familiar, it was a robbery hole, I probed it with a shovel, and the bottom was bottomless, everyone was even more disappointed, thinking that this robbery hole was just a hole. Right above the coffin chamber, the method of the tomb robber is quite high..."

Cang Hai listened eagerly to the old man's story, from the time he discovered that the water had entered the cave, to the last time he pumped the water and opened the tomb door to enter, there was a sudden turn of events.

"We went into the tomb and found that the whole tomb was empty. Some murals on the walls were destroyed. There was nothing inside, even the coffin was completely rotten. Everyone was so disappointed. Knowing that this tomb is a first-class tomb of princes in terms of shape and specifications, the size of the tomb is amazing. Unfortunately, everything inside is gone. When we were disappointed, Suddenly my teacher reached out and tapped lightly on the surrounding walls, and after knocking for a while, he said to us: 'There is a tomb next to it'".

"Hearing what he said, everyone started to dig the tomb next to it, and soon they dug the tomb passage. When they opened the tomb passage, everyone was surprised again. The tomb was well preserved, but inside it was a mess. Some pottery It was smashed all over the place, and there were some bronze fragments. Needless to say, the tomb was also stolen. When we entered the tomb, guess what?"

After Zhang Gong sold a pass, he said to Cang Hai: "There is a robbery hole on the side of the coffin chamber, and there is a human bone in the hole. We looked up curiously, good guy, the human bone is not the same. There are three of them. The skull at the bottom has a hole. It can be seen that someone hit it with a stone from above, and the stone fell in the coffin chamber. The remaining two skulls were beaten. Those with broken limbs and thrown down alive..."

"Unequal distribution of viscera?" Cang Hai asked.

Zhang Gong said: "Who knows, it is speculated that this is the case, but the real reason is to ask these three people. The year before last, our technology was advanced and we tested these three bones. Do you know that these three people are still related by blood?" , a father and two sons, and an old worker said that the three fathers and sons have all practiced soft bones, and they are experts in tomb robbers."

"And this thing?"

After Cang Hai asked this question, he felt that this question was superfluous. The things hanging around his neck were against the sky, so why not allow others to practice gasification and virtual cultivation to become a half-celestial body?

"There are still capable people and strange men in this world. We don't believe it just because we haven't seen it. Some tomb robbers can even shrink themselves down like a child," Zhang Gong sighed.

"Those in the village also have special skills?"

"What are those few things? They are just relying on the power of explosives!"

"Finding a tomb is also a skill, right?"

Old Zhang Gong blushed: "That fat man is my student!"

Cang Hai was stunned when he heard this: "Shouldn't your students stay in the archaeological team? Why did you start to make a living by robbing tombs?"

Zhang Gong sighed: "How much money do you get for a month of heart examination, how much is it for digging an ancient tomb? It's a pity, this child is a talented child who can be counted on one hand in my decades of archaeology, but The talent is used in the wrong place!"

"It's been a few years and you've come out again, why are you sighing?"

Zhang Gong said: "You don't know, this time he will be shot!"

"so serious?"

"The stolen items were at least [-] first-class cultural relics, and hundreds of second-class cultural relics. What do you think?" Zhang Gong said.

"Then it should be dead!" Cang Hai said.

When Cang Hai said this, two people immediately behind him looked up at his back, but Cang Hai didn't notice it at all, which shows that the middle-aged fat gangster had a good popularity before.

"Teacher, where are we camping today?"

At this time, a woman with glasses asked Zhang Gong.

Zhang Gong glanced at Cang Hai, only then did Cang Hai realize that before he knew it, the sun was about to set, and the red sun was gone, only a fiery red was left in the west.

"Let's go for another two hours. The weather is cool now. If you don't take advantage of this time, when will you hurry?" Cang Hai said.

Zhang Gong said with a smile: "Listen to you!"

So Zhang Gong started to tell the story again, and Cang Hai continued to listen happily. The group of people sitting in the back all hung their heads and looked like they were beating eggplants, and they seemed to want to rest early.It's just that Cang Hai has the final say now, they can only listen.

At around nine o'clock in the evening, Cang Hai chose a place to camp, and then settled down. Everyone started cooking and camping.

These people have all lived in the wild, and within a short while they were proficient, they set up the camp and started cooking. Cang Hai had nothing to do, but just fed the animals, and then continued to brag with Mr. Zhang.

The camp is right next to the canyon. Now the canyon is not as dry as before. There is a river at the bottom of the canyon. The water level is not shallow on the side of Sijiaping, which is four or five meters deep. Trees, shrubs, etc. Anyway, as long as there is water, there must be plants.

Although the opposite side is only a hundred meters away, if you want to pass here, you need to fly. Even if the four carts are pulled by an ugly donkey, it is delusional. Not to mention the water below, just say that the cliffs on both sides are not People like Cang Hai can be conquered.

"How long has your village existed?" Zhang Gong asked.

Cang Hai said: "Who knows, I think it's two or three hundred years old. The earliest ancestor tomb is from the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties. Why do you ask?".

Zhang Gong took out the map, and clicked: "Take a look at the location of your village and the location of this tomb."

"The straight-line distance is quite close to four or five miles." Cang Hai knew it without looking at the map.

"The location of your village may be the location of the mausoleum guardian. Ancient tombs are regulated, such as this kind of large tomb, and judging from the results of the current trial, it should be the tomb of the king during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods. From the geographical location Look, your village is right where the mausoleum guards are..." Zhang Gong said.

Cang Hai was stunned for a moment, he had never thought about such a saying, but he shook his head after thinking about it for a while: "Impossible, if it was passed down from then on, how much would the grave be worth now?"

Zhang Gongdao: "Look at the tomb and say, such a tomb will not be without accompanying tombs. In the previous system, there were still people who died. As long as a large tomb with such regulations is from that time, it is impossible to have no accompanying tombs or human sacrifices. It seems cruel to people now, but it was caused by the social system at that time.”

Hearing Zhang Gong's words, Cang Hai had some hope in his heart.

After eating, they went back to their tents to sleep. Cang Hai didn't like to live with strangers, so he built a small camping tent and got in to rest.

Lie down and open your eyes. The night passed peacefully. After getting up early in the morning and eating something, the team continued on their way. After walking for a day and a half, they crossed the canyon, and walked back for almost a day before they arrived. In front of the big tomb is what the old people call Bingqiutuozi.

Standing next to Bingqiutuo, Cang Hai suddenly felt that the mound was a bit extraordinary. He used to come here to play a few times when he was a child. Of course, there was no water in the canyon at that time. There was a shrub next to Bingqiutuo. Some small medicinal materials are collected by people in the town, and they are not expensive. It takes four or five yuan to dig them out in five or six days, but it is already a considerable income for students.

"There is a dark river here, and the water level is not high!"

Seeing the lush green bushes, Zhang Gong said with certainty.

How can he say this, Cang Hai also knows, otherwise where did the shrubs come from.There is water, but it is far away from the village, so no one digs a well here.

Others put on a posture to work, while Canghai wandered around. As for Mr. Zhang, who is so old and has his disciples and grandchildren, it is naturally impossible to roll up his sleeves and do hard work, so he followed Canghai around. Bingqiu Tuozi turned around.

Before coming, Cang Hai thought about going back earlier, but after arriving, he was curious to see how these archaeologists work, so he stayed for two days to see how these people dig graves.

When I didn’t understand it, I felt that this job must be very mysterious, but after watching it for a day, Cang Hai felt that it was just like this. A group of people took long Luoyang shovels and fiddled here and there, and the soil they pulled out Take a look, and sometimes you have to sniff it. There is really nothing new, and you will get bored if you read too much.

"Teacher, teacher!"

When Cang Hai was bored, a student stood halfway up the mound and yelled at Mr. Zhang.

"Teacher, there is a robbery hole here!"

When Cang Hai heard about the Pirate Cave, he regained his energy immediately. After listening to the stories for several days, Cang Hai had never seen what the Pirate Cave looked like, so he immediately stood up and ran toward the half waist.

When he came to this person's side, Cang Hai immediately wanted to scold his mother. In Cang Hai's eyes, this was a pit in the earth, about [-] to [-] centimeters deep, how could it be considered a hole.

What is Guan Jian? This thing looks too big, about sixty or seventy centimeters, and it is still square. Can this thing be considered a robbery hole?

How long will it take?Are the tomb robbers planning to stay here to stop and steal slowly?
