At this time, a faint exclamation was heard from down the slope. Qingyan and Chou Chou heard it most clearly and were extremely curious.
After thinking about it, he simply stood up with the little leopard and Chou Chou in his arms, and said to Grandma Lanhua and the others: "Let's go down and see what's going on. Don't move here. We'll be back soon."
After saying that, without waiting for them to refuse, he ran down the mountain at high speed.
Not all the people in the camp were women, there were still a few men. Yang Dawang, Yang Erzhuang and Liu Sanli were all there. Liu Sanli now walked slowly without using a crutch.
Therefore, Qingyan is not afraid of sudden accidents over there. Even if there is any danger, they can get back in time from such a short distance.
The place where Li Hao and the others went was only about 200 meters away from where they rested, just below the slope.
Qingyan just followed the light of the fire and soon met Li Hao and the others.
Qingyan spoke from a distance, fearing that they would think someone else was nervous.
Standing next to Yang Dashan, with the light of the torch, you can clearly see an irregular hole about half a meter in diameter exposed on the hillside at a height of more than half a person.
The entrance of the hole looked like it had just been dug out. It should have been an animal like a hare trying to dig a hole here, but it turned out that it was hollow inside and the hole collapsed after digging.
A few pieces of rotten wood were exposed inside, and it looked like it must have been a box before.
There are some gold and silver jewelry scattered below, but they have been somewhat oxidized, especially the silver jewelry, which has a thick layer of black rust. The gold jewelry is better, at least it can still be seen to be yellow, but the outside is not wrapped. Less soil.
Li Hao and others came down with picks and shovels. Li Hao and Wang Qian may not have had torches to see clearly at the time, so they thought it was dug by someone.
Of course, this hole was indeed dug by people before, but not now. It was dug by people who knew how many years ago to bury these gold and silver jewelry.
Yang Dashan handed the torch to Qingyan and asked her to help hold it, and the six men began to dig.
There were no trees here, and there were no obstacles from roots or stones, so it was easy to dig. After a while, the six people expanded the hole two or three times, and the things inside were exposed.
As expected, it was a broken wooden box, not one with good antiseptic properties. It was made of ordinary wood and had not been coated with tung oil.
It must be that they were made in a hurry, and they were buried for a long time, so they were already very rotten and fell into pieces when you broke them with your hands.
Several people picked out these gold and silver jewelry and put the scraps of the box on the other side, because not all the jewelry inside was large, there were also some rings, gold hairpins, and silver hairpins.
Even if they picked it up very carefully, many of them were broken, especially the more delicate ones. The more delicate the pieces, the thinner the joints.
After I finished packing the wooden box, I found some scattered beads underneath. It seemed that there were still beads, but the rope inside was broken.
Everyone could only pick up beads again. Although they were holding torches, the light was not very good. Especially when picking things up, people would be shadowed when they bent down, so the beads were not picked up all. Chouchou still had sharp eyes and ran over to help. I picked up several beads.
Qingyan looked at the scattered gold and silver jewelry on the ground, and said to Chou Chou: "Chou Chou, go back and get a basket, and take a piece of cloth down by the way. If you just use the basket to hold these, they will easily leak out, and there will be a piece of cloth inside." Bu, it should be fine."
Chou Chou nodded towards her and ran up quickly.
It came down soon, and Yang Dawang followed it at the same time.
Mainly because Chou Chou was too small, it was really hard for him to lift a big basket, or at least it looked awkward, so Yang Dawang sent him down directly.
He directly took down two baskets and the cloth torn from the bedding.
I don’t know how Chou Chou communicated with them, but they really understood. They didn’t waste any time and came down quickly.
He even took down an extra torch.
Yang Dawang simply stopped going up and directly helped to fill the basket, then sent two people to carry it up, and then took down the empty basket.
Because the hole got bigger and bigger, they found that there was more than just this box inside. In addition to a box of gold and silver, they also found a box of weapons!
It's just that those weapons don't have as good corrosion resistance as gold and silver, and the handles are so rotten that it feels like the blade will break with the slightest touch.
