Chapter 74 An ancient well, tasted by generations.

The little story told by Chen Han immediately attracted Zou Zeyuan's attention.

20 years of sharpening a sword, only for a tomb robber who robs a tomb, this is really a strange thing.

Then, he also became very interested in another story about a tomb robber that Chen Han told.

He decisively clicked into the live broadcast room, and immediately saw a full screen of barrage.

"Hahaha, I have learned this question before. This is called in-depth research in subdivided fields!"

"I wanted to rob a famous minister's tomb, but I didn't expect to rob the king's tomb. Paper can't cover fire!"

"Tomb Robbers can persist for 20 years, really dedicated! There are very few people with such perseverance in society now."

"What about the other one, what about the other one, what kind of ghost robber is the other one?"

"What the anchor said is really interesting!"

Compared with the distant Lajia ruins 4000 years ago, it is clear that this kind of story about the capture of tomb robbers is more interesting to netizens.

Internet fun talents are the main netizens on the Internet.

Chen Han watched the well-received bullet screens continue to fly by, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Hehe, the audience is having fun now, but it won't be any longer after a while.

Just telling jokes is not Chen Han's goal of science popularization today.

Seeing the netizens urging him to tell the second story, Chen Han shook his head with a smile, instead of rushing to tell, he asked instead: "My friends, have you ever drank well water?"

"Nowadays, every household in the city uses tap water pipes. Young people should rarely have been exposed to the way of fetching water from ancient wells in the countryside, right?"

Immediately, some answers such as "I have drank it, it's sweet", "I haven't drank it."

"There is a saying that goes well, there is an old well in every village, which bears the sweet stories of several generations."

Chen Han started the conversation, and said in a leisurely manner: "Today's second story about the tomb robber is related to an ancient well."

"The thing is such a thing."

"In a certain village in Henan, my country, there is an ancient well that has existed in the village for more than 300 years."

"The people in this village all grew up drinking the water from this well."

"At the end of the 60s, the well that had persisted for more than 300 years suddenly dried up and could no longer produce water."

"So the villagers in the village wanted to go down to the well to see what was going on."

"As a result, after a villager went down the well with a rope tied around his waist, his soul almost died of fright."

"Guess what happened in the well?"

Chen Han is well versed in the storytelling style of suspenseful bloggers and big Vs. He only used a few words to arouse the curiosity of the audience in the live broadcast room.

"What did you see?"

"Anchor, don't be tricky!"

"What does the groundwater dry up have to do with tomb robbers?!"

"Fuck, it can't be that there is an ancient tomb under the well!"

"Bingo!" Chen Han nodded with a smile: "Some smart audience guessed it."

"Yes, under the ancient well, there is no underground water system at all, but an underground palace, and it is the underground palace of a vassal king of the Ming Dynasty!"

"It turns out that this ancient well is not a well at all, but a hole dug by a gang of tomb robbers!"

"Moreover, this robbery hole was accurately drilled into the front room of the owner of the tomb!"

"As for why the robbery cave was later regarded as a well by the local villagers, it was because a very small underground water system seeped into the underground palace, filling the underground palace with stagnant water!"

"The depth of this robbery hole has reached more than ten meters deep!"

"Uninformed villagers stand on the top and can't see what's going on underneath. In addition to more than 300 years, the local people have changed several times."

"Later, when people saw that water could be drawn from it, they naturally regarded it as a well."

"It wasn't until the 60s and [-]s of last century that the groundwater level in this well dropped to an extremely low point, and the local villagers discovered that it was not a well!"

"Imagine an ancient well that has been drunk for generations, but the water in the well turns out to be stagnant water in the tomb."

"Although this underground palace is very large, the front room is not the main tomb room, so it is not the water for soaking corpses."

"Furthermore, after precipitation, the water pumped up by the villagers is still clean, and there is no problem drinking it."

"But no matter what, this is also the stagnant water in the tomb."

"After knowing this, the local villagers immediately collapsed, and then the whole village moved away."

Chen Han sighed, looked straight at the camera with great admiration, and said, "I know that most netizens think that tomb robbers are nothing. They just dig out some funeral objects from the ground and sell them, and they won't affect ordinary people."

"And it can make a lot of money. It seems to be a very good business. If the law does not prohibit it, many people may want to do it."

"However, this story tells us that the group of tomb robbers is a group of scum who have been infamous for thousands of years!"

"Tomb robbers wantonly destroy ancient tombs, and their irresponsible behavior should not be imitated by anyone!"

Chen Han glanced at the tablet computer in his hand. At this time, there were no audience laughing and laughing in the live broadcast room, but there was a lot of vomiting, and there were endless barrages of abuse and condemnation of the tomb robbers.

However, there were also sporadic audiences who expressed different opinions.

"Who can be sure that this is the hole left by the tomb robbers? Maybe it's just that the people in the past dug a well and dug it into the underground palace by mistake, and they didn't know it, so it became like this?"

"Official archaeologists, can't just arbitrarily blame the tomb robbers?"

"Grave Robber: The villagers made a mistake in digging a well, I can't bear this blame!"

Seeing these evasive remarks for the tomb robbers, Chen Han immediately felt a little high blood pressure was about to come up.

I don't know whether these people are "interested" with the tomb robbers, or they are really ignorant netizens who have a good impression of the tomb robbers.

He rubbed his temples, and explained helplessly: "Everyone in the audience."

"Here is a little knowledge for everyone."

"The tombs of the Ming Dynasty have developed very maturely."

"The tombs of the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty were built directly in the ground with bricks, and then connected with the tomb passages."

"In other words, if someone drilled a hole from above, they would dig out a lot of fully fired bricks!"

"If the villagers really dig the well themselves, they will definitely backfill it immediately after digging out the bricks that are obviously only found in large-scale tombs. It is impossible to just put this hole here, let alone continue to dig. , Drive the hole into the front room!"

"Only a tomb robber with a purpose and a plan will directly punch the hole through the brick room and enter the tomb to steal treasure!"

"Taking a step back, even if the villagers dug the well by mistake back then and drove it into the tomb, and then they wanted to get rich and did a job as a tomb robber by the way, then they would still steal the treasure inside. Plug this hole."

"Because they live here, it is impossible to leave such a hole and harm themselves!"

"Only professional tomb robbers would be too lazy to backfill the hole after the tomb robbery is complete, and run away with the stolen treasure in a hurry!"

"Because they are looking for tomb robbers all over the country, they don't care whether this hole will have any bad effects in the future."

"So you can be sure, this is definitely the work of professional tomb robbers!"

"The villagers who lived there later were all innocent people implicated by these tomb robbers. Without knowing it, they drank hundreds of years of stagnant water from the tomb!"
