Chapter 247
Uncle Hu Lu told a story about his first love. You can hear some sadness in the tone of his story telling.
After hearing this, I said: "People are like this. Uncle, I think you are doing well now. Your wife and children are on the bed, and you don't have to worry about money. What happened back then is in the past."
Dou Ya held her chin and pretended to be profound: "This is youth. No one has perfect youth, and there is always a little bit of regret. At this moment, I want to write a poem: Youth, youth, boy, boy, first love, first love, My dream, my dream.”
"vomit!"
Xiaoxuan kept vomiting and said stop it quickly. You only have five years of compulsory education in primary school. Don't be disgusting.
Douyazai curled his lips and said he didn't care, saying that if you have the guts, you can have one too.
"What's wrong?" Amidst the laughter, I saw his head and brows furrowed.
"Head? Head?" I called twice.
He came back to his senses and said softly: "Yunfeng, take the needle over and look down here."
I looked at the place she was pointing at and said, "That's a big stone. What's the point of giving an injection all of a sudden? It's not an initiation."
The head said you try it, he felt something was wrong.
I said yes and went to Luotuo to get the empowerment needle.
There were many brick tombs in the Ming and Qing dynasties, while there were many stone tombs in the previous dynasties. The initiation needle, also called the diamond needle, was specially used to deal with stone tomb roofs. Some people from the northern sect still use it, while some people from the southern sect have abandoned this tool. Use explosives instead. The initiation needles range from 1 meter to 1.5 meters long, with a small hook on the front tip. To use it, draw a circle on the top of the stone tomb, and make two cross holes to make a hole in the top of the tomb.
"Here?" I asked, pointing to the location.
After talking about it, he called Dou Sprout to come over and help me.
I found a stone to use as a hammer, and when I set a certain point, I started to hit it. Dou Sprout was inexperienced and almost hit my hand the first few times. I moved my hand down and said, Bean Sprout, please look more accurately.
The initiation needle is very powerful in breaking stones, but I felt something was wrong after just a few hits.
This big stone has a hard upper layer and a soft lower layer, so it is not difficult at all.
Very strange.
I said, what's going on? Is it weathered from being in the desert for too long? Another thing that is also strange is that the crushed stone is dark and black in color.
"It seems that my guess is correct. This stone has been burned for a long time before."
"Burned? Do you mean..."
He stamped his head and said: "The piece under our feet is sand and gravel. The hardness of sand and gravel will decrease after being burned by fire. It has been like this for many years, but the soft stone and bluestone will not. It seems that this stone has experienced blackening in the past. The fire in Shuicheng.”
We are not sure exactly what this stone was used for back then. It might have been a load-bearing wall of a building somewhere in the city, or it might have been a paving stone on the east-west avenue of Blackwater City. This shows that we have entered the territory of Blackwater City. .
The boss has studied Heishui City before. He said that judging from the few remaining historical materials, the original Heishui City was rectangular and was the headquarters of the Heishan Weifu Division of the 12th Supervisory Army of the Western Xia Dynasty. The city was divided into east and west parts, and the west city was the official residence of officers and soldiers. Institutions and Buddhist temples, Dongcheng is a commercial and residential area for civilians. There is an east-west avenue tens of meters wide between the east and west cities. This road runs through the entire city. On both sides of the avenue, there are restaurants, teahouses, brothels and grain shops, and hundreds of There are many small merchants and hawkers, such as those who sell candied haws, those who sell braised vegetables, those who trim horseshoes, those who cut hair, etc.
More than seven hundred years have passed, and there have been natural disasters, wars, and sandstorms. This prosperous city on the Silk Road has long since disappeared, leaving only a handful of yellow sand and gravel and some ruins in Alxa.
