Then, I asked Zhao Hu to use a steel drill to make the hole in the floor bigger, and then dug down for a certain distance. After cleaning up some sand, some stones were exposed underneath. These stones were not sharp at all. species, but they all look heavy, weighing at least two to three hundred kilograms.
"It's not possible to dig straight down from here." I said at this time.
"why?"
"If you dig downward, you will just clear some sand, and the surrounding sand will flow over. Not only will it not be possible to dig down, but it will also form a larger cavity underneath, which may easily collapse. What's more, what should you do with the stones you dig? ? It’s difficult to pull up such a heavy stone.”
"Ah? What should we do?"
"It's best to dig a hole from nearby, bypass the sand layer, and then drill horizontally towards the main tomb chamber, that is, dig an L-shaped robbery hole."
"Then how deep should we dig? How do you know when it is level with the main tomb?" Zhao Hu continued to ask.
"This depends on luck, because now we can't use Luoyang shovel."
"Then let's get started now. Do we have enough time?"
Because I'm not sure how thick the sand layer is, nor the specific location of the main tomb chamber, I don't know how big the project will be and how much time it will take. However, it's still early before dawn, so I might as well give it a try.
I asked the braided and pointed brothers to come down with tools, find a suitable position and continue to drill holes. When they were about four or five meters deep, I asked them to drill horizontally.
When we were drilling horizontally, I was afraid that when we suddenly hit the sand layer, quicksand would rush in and cause the cave to collapse. I also asked them to get some wooden boards to support the cave walls.
Speaking of which, we were very lucky. After drilling about three meters horizontally, we reached the tomb wall of the main tomb chamber. The tomb wall was also made of blue bricks, which made it easy to drill holes.
After struggling again, we drilled a hole in the wall of the main tomb. Using a headlight to look inside, I saw the coffin in the center of the main tomb at a glance.
The area of the main tomb chamber is not large, it looks like it is only about twenty square meters. There are two small ear chambers on the left and right sides of the coffin. You can vaguely see some objects piled there. I feel like I was a little excited, thinking that it was a burial object, right?
Are we going to get rich?
I was so excited when I realized that we might get rich, slap my sister-in-law in the face when we go back, and humiliate my girlfriend later.
Jianzui was the most anxious one and ran in first, heading straight for the ear room.
Zhao Hu cursed and ran in. Since it was my first time to enter a tomb with a coffin, I felt a little uncomfortable thinking about the bones in the coffin, so I hesitated for a moment before going in.
As for our friends with pigtails and sharp lips, they were outside to take care of us in case something unexpected happened to us.
"Fuck, we're late."
As soon as I entered, the sharp mouth person who walked to the ear room first said something like this in frustration, which made my heart skip a beat:
Was someone beat me to it?
When I walked to the ear room, I found that there was a hole in the corner of the ear room, indicating that someone had already come.
What I thought were funerary objects just now were actually just a few pottery, very ordinary pottery. The most annoying thing is that these pottery were also vandalized, and not a single intact one could be found.
As for the other ear room, there was nothing in it. Apparently the funerary objects had been stolen by the seniors.
This made us feel dejected for a few moments. After struggling for a long time, we didn't get anything, and our efforts were in vain.
"Is there any treasure in the coffin?" At this time, Xiao braid poked his head in and asked.
I walked to the coffin and looked at it. The coffin was still very complete, and the lid on it was tightly closed.
Zhao Hu sighed at this time and said: "Even if there is a treasure inside, it must have been taken away by someone. Who would be stupid enough to leave some treasure inside?"
Because I was a little unwilling, I said: "Let's open the lid and take a look. Some tomb robbers are very particular and feel that the treasures in the tomb cannot be taken away empty, otherwise the owner of the tomb will look for it when they sleep at night. In order to seek good luck, they usually There will be one or two treasures left in the tomb. We have gone through so much trouble and it’s time to open another coffin.”
Then we worked together to lift the lid of the coffin. Inside the coffin, there was a wooden coffin. The lid of the wooden coffin was open, so you could directly see the bones inside.
When I saw the bones, I didn't know what was going on. Suddenly I felt like I was being pulled by something. The feeling was hard to describe. I even felt a little dizzy and felt like vomiting. Then I stepped aside and let Zhao Hu follow Jianzui. See if there is any treasure inside.
The two of them had no scruples at all. After rummaging around for a long time, they took out a jade jade the size of a baseball.
I took the jade and looked at it. It was Hetian mutton-fat jade. Although it was an ancient jade, the workmanship was a bit rough and not exquisite. If it were sold, I don't think it would cost more than 20,000.
I was a little disappointed and asked them, is this the only jade in it?
If we only have this one treasure, and we split it with Jianzui and the others, it will be a question of whether the money we earn can pay Sister Yuan some money, let alone slap my sister-in-law in the face.
Zhao Hu nodded and said he only found this.
I said this thing can sell for up to 20,000 yuan.
"Ah? That's it. This is at least a piece of jade from the Eastern Han Dynasty, right?"
"The quality is not very good. It can only be sold for 10,000 to 20,000 yuan. I remember that my brother sold a similar one before, but it only sold for 16,000 yuan."
The sharp-tongued man next to him also began to say dirty words at this time: "Damn it, we split this thing half and half. We can't even make back the fifteen thousand we gave you. This business is a total loss."
Zhao Hu glared at him: "It's like we've benefited from it, don't we lose?"
I signaled the two of them to stop arguing. Since I haven't found any goods, it's getting late and it's time to go out.
Before leaving, Zhao Hu lit three incense sticks, and then asked us to bow a few times to the bones with him. At the same time, he said: "We brothers are forced to have no choice but to borrow your treasure first. I hope you will understand."
Zhao Hu said that although we only took away a piece of jade this time and the harvest was not big, we still had to follow one rule. When climbing up the rope, Zhao Hu also said that whoever climbed up last would have the jade. Who holds it.
This is because tomb robbers have an unwritten rule:
When you go up after taking the treasures, the most valuable treasure must be taken by the last person. This is to prevent your accomplices from wanting to share the treasures with one more person after they go up, and thus have evil intentions.
Zhao Hu was the last one to step in, so he naturally held the jade.
After going up, Sister Yuan went to poop and was not here for the time being. We told Xiaoye the situation first, and Xiaoye's reaction didn't seem to be very disappointing. She only looked at Jizui anxiously and asked: "Have you found anything else? Burglary or something?"
Jianzui was stunned for a moment, and gave himself a gentle slap: "How could I forget this? There is indeed a burglary hole inside, but I didn't go in to look."
Looking at his friend on the side, he waved with his sharp mouth: "Lao Liu, come down with me, and let's go for a walk in the thief's cave."
I was also a little curious at this time and couldn't figure out what they were going to do.
Judging from what Xiao Ye meant just now, is she going to find another burglary hole?
She asked if there were any "other discoveries". Shouldn't these "other discoveries" refer to burial objects?
Then Zhao Hu asked me about my doubts, but Xiaoye didn't want to say more and just said it was her business.
