Chapter 16 The Rooster and the Burrow

After eating and drinking enough, we should go back to nourish our energy and go to the legendary Han cemetery tomorrow.The others all went back to sleep, Ye Yuetian Ye didn't know where she went, I sat on the bench in the living room, drinking water in small sips.

Professor Zhang was chatting with the local old man, who obviously lost two teeth when he laughed.

"We generally don't have any outsiders coming here. It's too far away. Tourists don't come to us. But that's okay, can we be self-sufficient? For so many years, our ancestors have lived here for generations!"

Professor Zhang nodded, and he suddenly seemed to pretend to be casual and asked: "I went to the backyard just now, and there is a big rock in your house, which looks quite strange. Where did it come from, and what is it for?"

"Then I used it as a stone platform for my mother-in-law to wash clothes. It was picked up from the foot of the mountain over there about a few decades ago. My mother-in-law asked for it, so I called a few strong boys in the village to pick it up. , this stone doesn’t look big, but it’s very heavy, and it took us three days to move it back.”

I sat there listening to this, and suddenly woke up, and I remembered, I saw this stone platform just now.

I thought about it and sneaked back, just in time to see that Zhao Man was still awake.I shared a room with her, she was sorting things, she was a little dazed when she saw me rushing in, I didn't have time to explain, I dragged her carefully out the door, through the corridor, and then to the backyard.

Zhao Man looked at me somewhat puzzled, I took a deep breath, and then I asked her if she recognized her, and what was that stone.

The yard was empty, only the moonlight was shining at this moment.The stone just lay there quietly, as if it was integrated with the whole yard.

Zhao Man looked at me in a daze. I took a deep breath and looked up at her. She pondered for a long time before carefully saying, "You're asking this?"

I looked around to make sure there was no one there, and then I dragged Zhao Man to squat down.

Under the moonlight, we can clearly see that the side of this stone is actually indistinctly engraved with words!
Now Zhao Man became interested.Both of us are history majors, and we are very sensitive to characters. Both of us have studied the minor of philology. The two of us squatted there, stumbled, and recognized all the characters on it.

The characters above should be Xiaozhuan.

Both of us know the era when Xiaozhuan was used in history. After Qin Shihuang unified China, he implemented the policy of "books with the same text, cars with the same track" and unified weights and measures. Prime Minister Li Si was in charge. Based on the original seal script used by Qin State , to simplify.

Therefore, during this period, Xiaozhuan should be popular throughout the country, but Xiaozhuan was gradually replaced by Lishu at the end of the Western Han Dynasty.

What is engraved on it is an inscription of requiem for the soul!

This kind of requiem inscription also carries a lot of mystery. Perhaps the ancients believed that it could appease the soul of the dead.Zhao Man and I looked at each other, feeling a little bit in our hearts, this thing must have come out of the tomb.

Seeing this Xiaozhuan, in fact, the two of us can guess the specific year of this tomb, between Qin and Western Han.

Moreover, not every tomb has this kind of requiem inscription. It is more likely that the owner of the tomb did not die a natural death, so I was afraid that he would not be able to rest in peace, so I got this thing for him and wanted to suppress it.

I feel that this kind of speculation in my heart is probably inseparable, and I guess it should be like this.

Zhao Man raised her head, her expression suddenly became terrified!She stretched out her finger and pointed at my back, as if she saw something, and at that moment, all the hairs on my body stood up!
I turned around quickly, expecting to see something horrific, but in the darkness, I saw an old woman standing silently behind us.

At this time, the moon was originally covered by dark clouds, and the old woman behind her was silent, which was very scary. No wonder Zhao Man was taken aback.

I looked up at her, her eyes were shining faintly in the darkness, and then I heard her ask us in a hoarse and ugly voice: "What are you standing here for?"

This old woman should be the wife of the skinny old man.But she looked, for some reason, older.My heart was beating hard, but my mouth reacted very quickly.

"We were a little bored and couldn't sleep, so we came to the yard to relax, and we're going back."

The old woman didn't speak, I saw that she was still holding the clothes in her hands, Zhao Man and I ran back to the room quickly, we looked at each other, our hearts were still beating.

Zhao Man ran so that her bangs were a little messed up. She looked at me, bit her lip, grabbed my arm hesitantly, and then spoke very softly.

"I think this place is kind of weird."

"This kind of closed village is very strange. Let's persevere."

I looked at her, she looked into my eyes, and gritted her teeth, indicating that she could stand it by herself.We all know that if we back down at this time, Fangfang who is still lying in the hospital may not be saved, so neither of us can back down.

Once you make up your mind, it's actually not that difficult.Both of us have the idea of ​​fighting in our hearts. It is strange to say that when there is something you have to do, maybe you will not be so afraid.

I comforted her a few words, and the two of us got together and planned to sleep.

In fact, no one slept soundly that night. Early the next morning, we were woken up by the crowing of cocks. I rubbed my sleepy eyes, and my mind was clear when I got up from the bed.

It's not bad, at least my overall state is not too bad, at least I'm awake.

Zhao Man also woke up. We put on our clothes, opened the window and saw a rooster crowing arrogantly.

How do you describe this rooster? It gives people a feeling of being particularly strong and full of yang energy. A rooster is a penis, and crowing is born in response to the day. Among animals, a rooster is a very special animal. Some places believe that rooster blood can drive away evil spirits.

When we finished washing and went out, everyone was almost up, and all the things were packed. Everyone had a rest overnight, and it was the time when they were full of energy. This time is the most suitable time to start.

Professor Zhang ordered some people and prepared to take us away. He had passed through yesterday, so he didn't invite a guide today.

But Ye Yuetian suddenly thought of something, he turned around, negotiated a few words with the old man, and then I saw that the old man kept shaking his head, but Ye Yuetian's attitude was very firm, in the end the old man hesitated for a while, There was no way, Ye Yuetian took out a few [-] RMB bills from his pocket, then he went out, picked and picked among the chicken pens for a long time, and finally chose a chicken.

He was standing in the crowd with this rooster in his arms. That bored man would definitely not be able to speak. He always had a lot of presence. The senior just glanced at him strangely, but the fat man with all his body was bluffing. Called out.

"What do you buy a rooster for? We're not traveling around the mountains and rivers, and we also bring pets. It's inconvenient for us to do this."

In fact, he always looked at Ye Yuetian a little bit unpleasantly, and it's normal for him to speak a little bit harshly.On the contrary, Ye Yuetian seemed much more magnanimous. He looked directly at the fat man twice, and I think his voice was quite gentle.

"Nothing convenient or inconvenient. And I like it."

The fat man was muttering and wanted to say something, but Professor Zhang spoke up front: "Let's go, don't talk too much."

A group of us and a chicken walked in the direction of Tianhuo Pit.

It's strange to say that the chicken was very well-behaved when Ye Yuetian hugged it, and it didn't look like it was causing trouble for us at all.

Fatty had some objections at first, and was a little surprised when he saw how well-behaved the chicken was. He wanted to try to hug the chicken, but the chicken almost pecked hard on his arm.

The fat man was dumbfounded, and didn't dare to do anything to the rooster. Ye Yuetian carried the rooster and walked with us to the Tianhuo Pit. It wasn't far away, but we walked for nearly an hour before we got around several times. Daoshangou, several times we are actually walking on the small road attached to the cliff, and this kind of terrain vehicle can't drive in at all.

The driver stayed in that village and waited for us first.

When I arrived at the destination, I didn’t see anything special about it. Professor Zhang stood at the front. He roughly observed the surrounding terrain, and took out the map he drew yesterday to look at it. I heard his voice muttering to himself.

"That's not right, this place shouldn't be like this."

I don't know what he is talking about, he seems to be caught in some kind of problem.Then he stood there pacing back and forth, our group of students all looked at him, his old face seemed to be unstoppable, and then he pointed in a random direction for us to go.

We followed him to that side, the grass was getting denser and denser, he kept pulling out a compass and kept pointing the direction, the needle was shaking violently, he gradually began to sweat profusely, after waiting for about ten minutes, Zhang The professor wiped his sweat and said, "I found it."

What appeared in front of us was a dark hole.

The shape of the hole is very neat, I immediately knew what Professor Zhang was doing before, he was looking for a robbery hole!

The tomb robbers probably felt that this place was too remote, so they didn't block the robbery hole at all. Although grass grew behind the door of the robbery hole, if you look for it, you can still find some clues.

Professor Zhang lifted the grass next to him, and the fat man simply pulled it, and then he saw it more clearly.The hole is not big, but it can accommodate people to get in sideways.

The fat man wanted to go in immediately, but was grabbed by Ye Yuetian.

He frowned, then tied the rooster to the rope, which seemed rather long to me, and then patted the rooster to let it explore inside first.

This method is very good, because it has been closed for a long time. Although a tomb robber went in to explore once before, no one knows what will happen. What if there is not enough oxygen inside.

He put the chicken down, and the strange thing was that the chicken was not afraid of the darkness inside, and jumped out of his arms, walking in three steps at a time.It is bouncing and jumping, feeling not afraid at all.

The chicken made a coo, coo, coo sound in a low voice, and went inside.We waited for a while, and the rope got shorter and shorter, and at first we could hear the chicken crowing, but then suddenly it stopped!
