This cave is a spiral inclined shaft cave. When we went down, Zhao Hu and I also studied the age of this cave. We felt that it should be at least the middle of the Ming Dynasty. Of course, why is it concluded that it is the middle of the Ming Dynasty? Yes, we also talked about it in detail for girls with short hair.
For example, the soil layer where the cave entrance is located, which soil layer it is, the era in which this soil layer was deposited, etc. The short-haired girl also listened very carefully. She also said that it would be great if there was a piece of paper, so that she could write it down directly. .
Zhao Hu also said with a smile: "Tell me about you. You didn't study hard when you were in school. Now you want to take notes. If your teacher finds out, he will probably be mad to death."
The short-haired woman smiled and said nothing.
As for this robbery cave, it did not lead to the tomb chamber. We reached the end not long after walking, and we found some remaining bone fragments at the end. These bone fragments should have been left by the tomb robbers, and they were also some years old.
We also searched carefully here to see if we could find objects, coins, etc. from the mid-Ming Dynasty. In case some tomb robbers left these objects behind, we can also judge the exact age based on these objects.
"We old-timers, why didn't we continue digging down back then?" Zhao Hu asked as he kicked the bone fragments under the robbery hole with his feet.
I said: "Maybe I found that I made the wrong hole, or maybe I encountered some danger."
"Then what should we do now? Should we dig down from here?"
I looked at the cave wall and said with some confusion: "The problem is, judging from the soil layer on the cave wall, it is all natural soil. It stands to reason that there is no tomb below. The people who dug this cave were Grave robbers shouldn’t understand this truth, why do they have to dig so deep?”
"Could it be that this is not a robbery cave at all, but a tunnel or something. During the war, some people dug such a tunnel to avoid the enemy or ambush the enemy?"
I said, who knows, so I’d better dig deeper and take a look.
Afterwards, we went up to get some steel drills and shovels, and dug down for a while. After confirming that there was no problem with the soil below, we had to give up. As for whether this hole was a stolen hole, we couldn't find out for a while. After all, We don't have time to spend here.
Then, we went to other places to dig holes and explore the soil. Within the next two hours, we discovered several more caves. The entrances of these caves were not directly exposed to the outside. Some of them were underground. At one meter, some are two or three meters away, and some are at four or five meters.
The number of robber holes in this area really shocked us all. It felt as if we could hit the robber holes casually with a Luoyang shovel.
We will dig out the shallower holes from the ground and go in to take a look. However, due to time and energy issues, we can only give up the deeper ones temporarily.
As for the hole that was one meter or two meters above the ground, we dug it in and took a look. Just like before, the entire soil layer in the hole looked fine. We neither touched the five-flowered soil nor the ground. I haven't touched the green paste mud, it's basically all natural soil.
The most important thing is that there is also a corpse at the end of the robbery cave, and judging from the age of the bones, it should be many years ago. One of the bones is a female corpse. Judging from the teeth, the age of this female corpse Around sixty years old.
A female tomb robber in her sixties?
Definitely weirder.
Due to time constraints and because we didn’t find anything else, around four or five o’clock, when it was still dark, we called it a day and headed back.
On the way, Zhao Hu kept muttering in the car.
"This is so fucking weird. It stands to reason that we have just explored such a small area and found several robber holes. But with so many robber holes appearing here, it stands to reason that there must be a large tomb nearby, but there is no human effort at all. There are no traces of soil being disturbed, it’s really evil.”
The pigtail said: "I can't really tell you what you said. It was a tunnel dug by the ancients during the war, right?"
Zhao Hu smiled and shook his head: "Definitely not. If there were wars in ancient times, the tunnels would have been dug at the same time. But the ones we found today are obviously from different periods, and there are vertical shaft types and inclined shaft types. , as well as U-shaped and L-shaped ones, which are obviously the type of burrowers."
"The problem is that there is neither Wuhua soil nor green plaster mud. It is almost all natural soil. Are the ancient tomb robbers so incompetent? Are they all stupid enough to dig holes in this place?"
"So, this is the weird part."
As he said that, Zhao Hu suddenly looked back at me, and then said with a smile: "But it's understandable. Every time we touch the hall, as long as Jianjun is around, we can encounter evil things. This is normal. Maybe it's the same as the tomb of a noble concubine before. There is indeed a big tomb underneath, but some evil spirit has disguised it, and disguised the layers of five-flower earth, blue plaster, rammed earth, etc. as natural soil layers. Let's temporarily I haven’t discovered it yet.”
Sister Yuan smiled and agreed with Zhao Hu: "Don't tell me, it's really possible."
"Then why is there a corpse at the end of every robber hole?" Xiao braid continued to ask: "It stands to reason that even if the ancient tomb robbers dug holes to get there, and then stopped digging under special circumstances, then All they need to do is leave. Why is there a corpse left behind? Is this corpse an accomplice of theirs? If there is such a danger, why did everyone else run away?"
Zhao Hu said: "Is it possible that when they dug somewhere, they encountered some danger, and then they needed to sacrifice one person to leave alive? For example, they reached an agreement with the evil spirit, just like we did in Bo When it was secret, it wasn’t at that time..."
As soon as Zhao Hu said this, I immediately coughed and signaled him to stop talking about it.
The main reason is that the short-haired girl is still in the car. His words will definitely remind the short-haired girl of the sad incident. I even glanced at the short-haired girl, and her expression was indeed a little worse than before. .
Only then did Zhao Hu realize that he had said the wrong thing. He smiled and said, "Oh, let's study it when we wake up tomorrow. I'm tired after digging holes all night."
"Then the old man won't find out that the two dogs were poisoned by us tomorrow, right? Then when he sees the holes we dug, he will definitely know that someone came to cause trouble at night. If he tells his boss then, he will What should we do if the boss is waiting for us inside?"
The little braid’s words reminded me that before I go there tomorrow, it’s best to talk to the old man and take a look at the gate to see if there are any ruts or anything like that. If there are ruts and footprints, it means there are a lot of people here. people, then they might have discovered it and set up an ambush.
If not, it means there is no problem, but we must get it done as soon as possible within a day or two. After all, the two dogs are dead, and there must be many dreams at night.
After we got back, we went to the breakfast stall to have some breakfast, and then went back to the hotel to rest. When we were sleeping soundly until about ten o'clock, Sister Yuan suddenly called me.
When I answered the phone, she said in a somewhat anxious tone: "Jianjun is in trouble, Uncle Dong is dead."
Boom!
When I heard the news, my mind went blank.
Uncle Dong is actually dead?
When I heard the news about his disappearance before, I thought he just got wind of the news in advance and ran away. I didn't expect that he was dead?
"How did he die? How do you know?" I asked immediately.
"My friend told me that his body was found buried by the river, with several big rocks tied to his body. Villagers from nearby villages touched him when they went to the river to fish. His family members have already gone The body has been claimed.”
When Sister Yuan said this, I was even more surprised. It looked like she was killed?
My intuition tells me that he may have been silenced.
