Archaeological Notes

Chapter 39
Since there is a solution, it is worth a try, it is better than sitting like this, so I asked Xie Qiuliu to tell me what the solution is.But he pointed at my back and said, "Every time Tu Fuzi scours the sand, besides ropes, Luoyang shovels, and explosives, there is one other tool that must be brought. It is a small hacksaw, because some ghost tools , it may be because of too long time that it has been petrified on the corpse. Or it has reached a certain size and cannot be taken away, but it has the value of taking it out, so we can only saw it off with a hacksaw. The volume of this thing is It is small and convenient to carry, but it takes a lot of saw blades. Every time we clamp a lama, we bring a bundle of saw blades for later use.”

He looked at the ear room behind me, "This is called Bai Mi Yi Shu! I put it in my bag before going down to the tomb, but when I got down, there were a lot of problems, so I threw that thing in the ear room. Hu Qiandou left I was in such a hurry that I didn't notice that I didn't take the bag away. I think he would also think that since I'm locked here, it doesn't matter whether I take it or not. I'm not an arhat with long hands. The distance between two tomb chambers, I can’t get it.” Xioqiu Liu couldn’t wait any longer, and couldn’t restrain his excitement: “Go to that ear chamber to see if the bag is still there.”

There are usually ear chambers on both sides of the main tomb chamber, which is very common in ancient tomb systems. Xieqiu Liu refers to the one on my right.He gave me the torch, and I took it and walked closer to the ear chamber to have a look, and found that it was even cruder than the main tomb outside, except for a stone statue with a bird's body and a human head, there was nothing special.Turning around, in the southwestern corner of the ear room, I saw a black bag lying there quietly, covered with dust and so inconspicuous, I almost didn't recognize it at first.I walked over to pick it up and patted off the dust; I opened the bag, and there was indeed a saw bow and a bundle of saw blades inside, tightly bound with newspapers.

I didn't delay any longer, so I brought the whole bag back to Xieqiu Liu. He was overjoyed, saying that it was God's will, that his life should not die, and promised that if he could be rescued, it would be for my benefit.I didn’t have time to think about it right now, I saw the shackles on his feet, and after a full two or three centimeters, I thought it would be a big project to saw them open, so I asked him what to do.

Xieqiu Liu thought about it, then used his shackled left hand to tightly grasp a corner of the coffin, and his right hand to tightly hold the forearm.He gave me a faint smile: "Little brother, it seems that you have to work hard. All the muscles in my body have shrunk, and I can't use it at all. You can saw it bit by bit. We have plenty of time, so don't worry."

You do have time, but I'm not here to entertain you. I didn't say anything on the face, but my hands didn't stop, and I started to assemble the hacksaw.When I tore the newspaper apart, I saw that there were more than a dozen steel bars tied inside. Although there were a little rust on it, it was still usable, and the saw teeth were clearly visible.

The whole process was carried out slowly, and the sound made by the small bow saw sawing back and forth was very harsh, echoing in the empty tomb, appearing very monotonous.I only tried it a little at first, because I was afraid that my hand would slip and saw Xie Qiuliu's wrist.He held his breath and pulled it down for a while, only to find a thin white line appeared on the black shackles.Xie Qiuliu whispered "There is a door!" and let me continue. I wiped the sweat from my brow, tried my best to maintain the sawing posture, and began to saw into the depths of the shackles.

This kind of iron is extremely hard. I saw it hard for a long time, took the bow saw and blew off the iron filings, and only found a small gap.While sawing Xieqiu Liu, he was talking to me, cheering non-stop, what do I owe you, and I will remember you for the rest of my life.I asked him if I didn't want to listen, but my hands didn't stop, "You stayed in the tomb for so long and you don't have a watch, how do you remember the date?"

Xie Qiuliu pointed to the head of the coffin to show me, and saw that it was covered with stone slabs, saying, "I can't see with my eyes, but I can hear with my ears. Gradually, you will develop the ability to listen to sounds and distinguish positions. Insects and other living things in the tomb are regular, and there is a fixed pattern of activity every day. In the past day, I drew a line vertically, and in a month I drew a road horizontally. After accumulating, there are 36 lines. Just three years."

It is not easy for him to think about it. To survive in this kind of gap, the toughness of willpower is very terrifying. It is expected that hatred will also account for more than half of the reasons, but if it were me, I would definitely grit my teeth and not survive today.

The saw blade was quickly worn out, and I had to replace it with another one to continue. After an hour, I finally saw the bottom.I picked up a big rock with my hand, and within a few strokes, the shackle was broken by me.Xieqiu Liudeng heaved a sigh of relief and rubbed his wrist, there was already a deep circle of marks on the flesh, it was white and bloodless.The next one was on the ankle. Xieqiu Liu simply took the tool and sawed it up by himself. I watched from the side and found that his hand was not strong at all, so I took it and helped others to the end, thinking of giving it to him. He will talk about it after opening it.

I don't know how long it took to saw, until my hands were so weak that I could hardly lift them up, and the bundle of saw blades was used up before I stopped.Since then, Xieqiu Liu has been completely liberated and stood up straight; I was sitting on the ground leaning on the coffin, so tired that I couldn't even stand up straight, I looked up at him, and when I wanted to say something, I saw his expression It changes with just a swipe.

It was an extremely cold expression, exuding a terrifying aura all over his body. He looked down at me and suddenly showed a sly smile.I was taken aback and said, what is your expression?Immediately felt that he was not kind, and his heart sank, but suddenly saw him swinging his right hand.Then I saw a big stone coming down from my front door, and I even heard the sound of my skull cracking. I felt a sharp pain and dizziness in my head, and I fell unconscious all at once.

In the haze, I heard Xieqiu Liu's voice, "I don't believe you..."

"I don't believe you..."

The person is in a daze, and when he wakes up, the consciousness of the whole person is not even awake, and he can't even move his body.With the gradual recovery of consciousness, the hands and feet also began to feel. The first thing I felt was that my head was like being smashed open, and it hurt like a motor was installed inside, and it kept turning.My vision also became blurred, and my eyes were covered with some kind of liquid. When I touched it, I couldn't see what was on my hand. I only felt that it was sticky, which should be blood.

I think I should be seriously injured, Xieqiu Liu may have taken the torch away, and nothing can be seen in the tomb.When I recovered, the first thing I realized was not fear, but a fire. It was the feeling of being betrayed, and the anger filled my chest.I started to swear, but I was used to elegance, and I couldn't think of any vocabulary in my stomach, so I had to try my best to greet the eighteen generations of Xie Qiuliu's ancestors.After scolding for a while, I felt tired, and I started to feel dizzy again. After thinking about it, it is better to save some effort and find a way to escape. It is useless to do so.He gritted his teeth and stood up, but heard a crash, as if something had been put on his feet.

I touched my ankle subconsciously, and almost lost my mind, it was a cold shackle!

Xieqiu Liu once said that four sets of shackles popped out of the flap under the head of the coffin to lock him at the same time. In desperation, he withdrew his right hand and right foot, but only the left half of his limbs happened to be locked upright. .When I was sawing this kind of shackles, I carefully observed them. They were very similar to modern handcuffs. Once stuck in, they would definitely not come out. This is why Xieqiu Liu was trapped in this tomb for three years.

But at this moment, in this situation, I have nowhere to cry.That bastard Xie Qiuliu, who killed a thousand knives, you can leave after knocking me out. You are so fucking generous. He gave me a set of shackles for free. I think I will share the troubles with him. It tastes like being abused in the past few years taste.If I had known this earlier, why would it be so unpredictable? In this line of work, you should never trust anyone, let alone give your heart and soul to others, or sometimes it will kill you of.

When I thought that I would linger on my last breath in this tomb where the sun would never be seen, I would never have such a tough mentality as him.I was so panicked that I was almost going crazy, I grabbed the chains on the shackles with both hands, put my feet on the body of the coffin, and pulled with all my might, until I collapsed and limp, the whole body was quiet.

I don't want to die, I don't want to live such a useless life. After calming down, I began to analyze how I can get out.I can't wait for a miracle to come, for example, if someone wanders here blindly like me, or Xieqiu Liu just wants me not to run around, he will come back to rescue me and so on.In a tomb, my range of activities is limited. If I want to survive, I can only use all the tools and resources as much as possible, and try my best to get out.I started to touch the ground with my hands, and it was full of rubble such as tomb bricks. In the darkness, I suddenly touched something, and suddenly I felt a ray of dawn coming.

When Xieqiu Liu was leaving, he might have been in a hurry, so the small bow saw that cut off the shackles on his body was randomly thrown on the ground not far from me.

I picked up a bow saw and got over excited, hoping that I could saw through the ankle shackles with this thing; I groped and relied on my feeling, put the saw on the cold shackles, and when I was about to start sawing, suddenly Aware of a problem.It is also this problem, like a pot of cold water that extinguished my last hope, and the whole person started to tremble in the ice cellar.

I overlooked such a thing. When sawing the shackles, the wear and tear on the saw blade is very large, and all the spare saw blades have been used up just now.The small bow saw in my hand can never saw through this pair of hard iron cuffs, and it can only go down a few millimeters at most.

Realizing this, my whole body seemed to be paralyzed, and I sat limply on the ground, and my heart became numb from the fear just now.I thought about many things in my mind, such as how my grandma's illness is now; there are still a few good Xuande stoves in the shop on Shenyang Road in Tianjin that have not been sold; What, many, many things like that, all came to mind one by one.It even terribly reminded me of the scene in the movie "Chain Saw". In order to survive, people can generate extremely strong willpower. In order to survive, the protagonist chose to saw off his own feet after being chained. .But my current situation is surprisingly similar to it. I think I will definitely die in this place. Movies are movies after all. Even if I have enough courage, I can’t guarantee that I will die in the middle Will not pass out.

After thinking about it, his eyelids started to fight again, probably due to excessive blood loss from his head, and he couldn't think of a solution for a while, so he simply fell asleep.

I slept very comfortably this time, and had a wonderful dream. In the dream, my grandma took me on a blind date with a woman in a restaurant. , we discussed and set a date.At this moment, the scene suddenly changed. When the woman looked at me, her eyeballs popped out of their sockets, and half of her face changed suddenly. The skin and flesh shrank in, turning into a zombie face.

Suddenly, I felt a gust of wind blowing, and my face felt like it was tearing. I woke up in a daze, and found that someone was blowing on my face.
