Chapter 13
It was my first time working and I had so little experience that I thought the bones were those of the owner of the tomb.
Judging from the specifications of this tomb, if there are bones of the owner of the tomb, there should be funerary objects around it. That’s what I think.
It might be some portable copper seals, some small but exquisite ancient jade, gold or something like that.
Greed overcame fear, and I kept comforting myself: "It's nothing, it's nothing. There may be private seals of princes and kings in the black hole. If I am lucky enough to take it out, I will make a fortune!"
Gathering up the courage, I reached into the bottom of the tank again.
While I was stroking back and forth sideways...
"ah!"
I pointed my index finger and felt bitten by something! It hurts.
I quickly took my hand out and saw that the front part of my finger was bleeding and there were two small holes.
My first reaction was that I had been bitten by a snake.
I didn't know if it was a venomous snake. I was very scared. I pinched my fingers and ran towards the east ear room yelling.
"Second brother and third brother! Second brother and third brother! Help!"
There were some funerary objects scattered on the ground in the East Room, but the quantity was far less than that in the West Room. The Sun brothers were squatting on the ground, trying to figure out which items were valuable.
"Yunfeng, what are you talking about! Have you seen a ghost or something! Who wants to kill you!"
I showed him my fingers that were no longer bleeding, and said anxiously: "Second brother! I was bitten by a poisonous snake! I'm going to die from the poison soon!"
"What? Poisonous snake!" Sun Laoer suddenly panicked.
After holding my finger and looking at it for a while, Sun Laoer asked doubtfully: "Lao San...the wounds on Yunfeng's fingers, and these two small eyes, were they bitten by snakes?"
Sun Laosan thought for a while and shook his head: "It seems a bit similar, but I feel something is wrong. Second brother, Yunfeng's fingers are so wide. Look at the distance between the wounds. How can there be such a small snake head."
Sun Laosan squeezed my wound, and bright red blood immediately flowed out.
"It's okay Yunfeng, look at the color of your blood. The one that bit you was definitely not a snake, let alone a venomous snake. I guess it was probably a rat, a smaller rat."
"Rat? Can rats bite people? Third brother?"
"Of course, Yunfeng, you haven't seen it that often. In ancient times, there was a rat infestation, and rats could eat people!"
"Yunfeng, don't you feel dizzy, nauseated or uncomfortable?"
I shook my head and said, "Third brother, I don't feel that way."
"Don't think too much. It's okay. Come and help with the work. If you're worried, you can go to the hospital to get a rabies vaccine during the day tomorrow."
"Oh," I nodded in agreement. Knowing that it was not a poisonous snake, I felt a lot more relaxed.
It's a bit strange to say that the number of burial objects in the east-ear chamber is far less than that in the west-ear chamber. Logically speaking, it should be a bowl of water, so the burial objects in the two chambers should be about the same. In the end, it took a long time to clean and search. Only six or seven bronze vessels of moderate value were found, and the rest were basically badly damaged. It was impossible to tell what the original shape of the vessel was.
"Hey, we took so many bags on purpose. We thought we could have a big harvest, but it turned out to be nothing but rags!" Sun Laoer said bitterly.
He pressed the intercom and reported the situation to the superiors: "Botou, it's really all joy but all in vain. There is so little fat in the east ear room. There are not many things that can be beaten, they are just gadgets."
The intercom was silent for two minutes, and then the king raised his head and ordered again: "Let's count as many as we have. Next, go to the main tomb as quickly as possible. The contents in the coffin are the most valuable."
"Botou, we have gone around in a circle below, and there is no trace of the main tomb at all. What is going on, Boss, you are well-informed, please analyze it."
A burst of radio mixed with human voices came over.
"It's impossible. In ancient times, when a rich and powerful person died, it was impossible not to build a main tomb for himself. There is still some time. You are looking for it."
We got the instructions and began to carefully search for the main tomb chamber.
Only if there are coffins, coffins, corpses and burial objects can it be called the main tomb.
But unfortunately, after searching for a long time, I still couldn't find the main tomb chamber.
After loading up those few items of Western Zhou Dynasty goods, we are here today.
On the way back, Wang couldn't help but shake his head, "It's impossible, it doesn't make sense..."
I was a little sleepy and fell asleep almost as soon as I got into bed. I slept until noon. I planned to find a small clinic to get a rabies vaccine later.
I felt some discomfort in my right hand, so I took a look.
I saw that my right index finger was extremely swollen, one finger was almost as thick as two fingers! Moreover, the two small eyes of the wound were leaking pus...
The swelling was so big, and it wasn't painful or itchy. I was afraid and touched it with my hand, but I couldn't feel it at all.
I was frightened, and Sun Laoer was also frightened after seeing it. He asked me what I had done in the morning, and how could I still develop a finger!
Sun Laosan said, what are you waiting for? Go see a doctor quickly!
They called Boss Sun on my behalf. Boss Sun was more familiar with the area than we were. He took me to a small clinic not far from the hotel.
The doctor at the clinic was also dumbfounded. He said that he had been practicing medicine for more than 20 years and had never seen anyone's fingers swell like this. The doctor at the clinic did not dare to treat me.
We didn’t know what was biting us, and we didn’t dare to take anti-inflammatory drugs indiscriminately. He said that we should go to a big hospital as soon as possible. If the swelling is like this, it might lead to amputation.
When I heard about the possibility of amputation, I was terrified.
The second brother said it was bitten by a rat. How could a rat bite lead to amputation? Is this a poisonous rat?
Having no choice, I went to Shunde First People's Hospital again.
The emergency room doctor frowned. He looked at my swollen fingers and said, "The temperature is normal and there is no infection. Let's take a X-ray first to see if it's water accumulation or something. Why is it swollen like this?"
I took a picture and gave it to the doctor. After looking at it, the doctor said, "It's water accumulation and the wound is a little inflamed." He also asked me if I felt uncomfortable. I shook my head and said no.
Later, the doctor used the pins in the acupuncture box to prick two small eyes on my fingers, but I felt no pain.
He squeezed it a little, and a lot of yellow-white liquid immediately flowed out.
After pricking the eye with water, my finger immediately shrank by one size. The doctor prescribed amoxicillin and asked me to take two tablets and not eat chili peppers.
We thanked the doctor and returned to the hotel.
"Is your hand okay, Yunfeng?" the boss asked me.
I looked at my swollen fingers, breathed a sigh of relief and said, "My head should be fine, there's no pain or itching."
Wang nodded and said to Sun Laoer again.
"Second brother, I studied it carefully in the morning, and called several other leaders in the industry. We all agree that the main tomb may have collapsed due to water accumulation, or it may be buried elsewhere."
"Yunfeng, go and rest first. Second brother, come with me. Let's discuss it."
I went back to my room, drank anti-inflammatory medicine and lay on the bed. I felt a little tired and fell asleep quickly.
I had a dream about that big lonely water tank.
A human hand covered with rotten flesh slowly stretched out from the hole and grabbed my wrist!
"ah!"
I woke up from a nightmare and my back was soaked.
Feeling something strange in my hand, I looked down.
At that time, my fingers...finger...
It's swollen and watery again.
And it looks more serious than before.
