Beipai Tomb Raiders Notes
Chapter 12
"Brother, what is mustard scallop, is it kelp?"
Boss Sun didn't smile, he looked at me and said: "It's not some kelp, it's a person's name. About this person, there is only a half-word record in the data. I didn't expect that we bumped into it by mistake. How can we get rid of it?" ? Do you still do it tonight? I think the second and third are ready."
Wang Baotou looked seriously and asked, "Is there anything wrong with the stronghold?"
Boss Sun nodded, "No, those young people raised by Yi Mole are very smart."
"Boss, don't sell this batch of goods, especially this bronze bean. Once the news spreads from Shunde, there is a high probability that it will attract wolves."
"Wolf in the south?" the boss asked with a gloomy expression.
"I'm afraid it's not just the wolves in the south, but there are wolves everywhere now, and they are picking up bones to eat. If our pots are not covered tightly, the smell of meat may attract wild wolves."
"Boss, I have decided," Wang said with a slap on his head, "five days, the time is shortened to five days, take out all the things for me, and we will leave Shunde as soon as possible after we get it, find a place to avoid the limelight first .”
From the conversation between Wang Baotou and Boss Sun, I could hear that they were a little nervous, as if they were afraid of something.
......
The time has passed, Moth Mountain.
Sun Lao Er squatted on the ground smoking a cigarette, while Sun Lao San was counting the sacks.
"The weather is calm, let's start." Boss Sun's voice came from the walkie-talkie.
"Yunfeng, how many sacks do you have?"
"Second brother, I have four more."
"Well, it should be about the same," Sun Er Er stamped out the cigarette butt in his hand after finishing speaking.
At this time, there were bursts of strange bird calls from Moth Mountain. This bird call made people feel uncomfortable listening to it at night.
"It's really unlucky," Wang said, looking at the dark moth mountain behind him, and cursed bad luck. He said that the bird was a mourning bird, not a good thing.
The mourning bird is an owl. In ancient times, people called it the night owl. This thing used to be seen the most in mass graves, so people called it the mourning bird.
"Bah, bah, what a fucking dead bird," Sun Laoer spit several times in the direction of the mountain.
When the owl stopped hooting, we also started to act.
The hole that was built earlier was well covered by a mole's subordinates. The hole was covered with a complete yellow turf, and the bottom was supported by four wooden sticks. From the outside, it was almost impossible to see any flaws.
After packing up these things and putting on the headlights, the Sun family brothers slid down the hole with their legs supported. I struggled a lot and was the last to go down.
The turbid tomb pit under the empowerment has very little water, and it cannot submerge people's feet, but the ground is a little muddy, and people feel a little sticky when walking on it.
The tomb passage is dark and humid, and the temperature is much lower than above.
After straightening the headlights, Sun Lao Er said to me: "You are right, you have to speed up the progress, Yunfeng, you can go to the west ear room yesterday and see if there is anything missing on the ground in the corner. If there is nothing missing, come to the east and help us."
After explaining this, my brothers from the Sun family and I separated temporarily. They went to the right to find the east ear room, while I also turned left to go to the west ear room.
There is no one around me, and now I am in the tomb in the middle of the night, and I am afraid when I walk.
Holding my headlamp, I said silently: "Don't blame, don't blame, don't blame my boss, I'm just asking for a small fortune, Amitabha."
People light candles, and ghosts blow lamps. I asked about it at the beginning, and I said, "Head, the rooster crows without touching gold, even if we are not the captain of gold, but for safety, shouldn't we light a white candle in the tomb? I heard people say that if the candle goes out, it means that the tomb owner is unhappy, so we have to go out, or we will run into ghosts."
The old man laughed twice at that time, and he said: "Yunfeng, you, you, you watch too many movies and TV shows. If the candle goes out, it means the owner of the tomb is unhappy? If the candle is on, it means the owner of the tomb is happy. What's the matter, the owner of the tomb is still happy to welcome us to dig his grave? It's a joke."
"Also, Yunfeng, don't think about it. That's right. In ancient times, those who touched the gold tomb would light a white candle in the tomb, but that was for lighting. Otherwise, how could the tomb be robbed? It wasn't that they wanted to light a candle, it was Because there is no electricity, I can’t see it at all!”
"We now have headlamps and flashlights. What are we doing with candles? In some tombs, there is methane after the corpses are decomposed. Maybe they will explode when they see an open flame. Do you understand Yunfeng?" This is what Wang told me at the time. The original words sounded like a joke, but when I thought about it later, it made sense.
After walking for a few minutes, nothing happened, and I walked to the west ear room.
The floor of the west ear room was bare. I glanced back and forth by the light of the headlamp, but found nothing left. We had already taken away the dozens of bronze vessels before.
In the northwest corner of the ear room, the large water tank covered with stone slabs is still there, lonely.
"Oh? The second brother said that the big vat is worthless, but... are there any funeral objects in the big vat?"
Thinking about this, I decided to go and have a look.
Indeed, as the second brother said, I only found out when I got closer that this thing was indeed made of clay.
The earliest porcelain appeared in the Eastern Han Dynasty. At that time, it was primitive celadon. The dynasties before that generally used stoneware and bronze ware, which can be compared.
But what makes me wonder is how it is so big, how did it burn?
There are no traces of segmented embryos on the surface of this large vat. Obviously, it was fired at one time. I really can't figure out how big a sagger will be used to hold such a large vat.
The stone slab covering the vat is a bluestone slab. I tried to push it with one hand, but I didn't push it, and it was a bit heavy.
Knowing the depth, I used both hands this time.
The stone slab rubbed against the big tank, making harsh noises, and I pushed the bluestone slab away bit by bit.
"Why is there a smell?"
It didn't smell much when the slate was covered just now, but now it can be smelled clearly.
At that time, I thought this Western Zhou tomb was a bit weird. When I first came down, I could smell a faint fragrance, but now I smelled a bad smell. This smell is like a bad boiled egg in the dog days.
I swung my headlamp and lowered my neck to look into the big tank.
I saw that there was a hole less than [-] centimeters wide under the big tank, and there was nothing else.
I could smell it, the rotten egg smell coming from the hole.
The headlights were on, but no, I couldn't see the bottom of the hole, it was dark.
I felt a little strange, so I pressed my body against the side of the big tank, and stretched out my right hand to dig into the black hole at the bottom of the tank.
"Oh? What is this?" I struggled to touch for a long time, and a hard touch came, and I felt a long strip of hard object.
I thought to myself: "Shouldn't it be a gold bar?"
"No, no, how can there be such a light gold bar."
Feeling that I had a firm grip on this thing, I adjusted the angle several times, bit by bit, and lifted this thing out.
It was a white thing. After I touched it out, I lowered my head and took a look with my headlight.
It's a dead man's thigh bone!
"what!"
I yelled out in fright and threw away the dead man's bones.
"This is... Could it be the bones of the owner of the tomb? It hasn't rotted into dregs since the Western Zhou Dynasty?"
I overlooked one point, also because I was too nervous.
I didn't see that thigh bone at that time.
And bone marrow.
Boss Sun didn't smile, he looked at me and said: "It's not some kelp, it's a person's name. About this person, there is only a half-word record in the data. I didn't expect that we bumped into it by mistake. How can we get rid of it?" ? Do you still do it tonight? I think the second and third are ready."
