I went down to the ancient tomb first, followed closely by Dou Sprout.
It's daytime above, but the tomb is very gloomy. The sun doesn't come in, and people here feel like they're in an air-conditioned room.
"It's so cool!"
Dou Sprout looked left and right and said: "Fengzi, don't tell me! This is a good place to escape the heat and cool down in summer!"
I ignored Dou Sprout and looked up at the tomb wall and the top of the coupon.
This ancient tomb is more than 30 square meters in visual inspection. The main body is a blue brick vault-type structure. The surrounding green bricks are carved with a large number of exquisite patterns. It is common sense in the industry that once you see such patterned blue bricks, there are only two possibilities.
One is the Han Dynasty, and the other is the Northern Song Dynasty.
What's the difference?
The single bricks of the Han Dynasty bricks were larger and heavier, and the brick carvings were simple, usually with rope patterns, while the brick carvings of the Northern Song Dynasty were more complex, with many figures and gods carved onto the bricks.
I didn't see a coffin, I just saw a vaguely visible stone bed two meters long and two meters wide in the southwest corner. The stone bed was covered with mud, and there were many bottles and jars covered with dust lying here and there. Most are buried in mud.
Taking two steps closer, I smelled a foul smell.
I turned on the flashlight and took a photo of it on the stone bed. I was so frightened that I stood upside down with all the hair on my body!
I saw the corpse of the old woman, but now only the upper half of her body was left!
Her head was drooped on the edge of the stone bed, and there were more than a dozen green-headed flies buzzing around her face. These flies were jumping around. The old woman's eyes were closed and her mouth was slightly open. It was obvious that she had been bitten by something.
"vomit!"
I had just eaten breakfast and almost vomited it out, so I covered it with my hands.
Bean sprouts almost spit out.
He pinched his nose and cursed: "It's so damn disgusting! Flies got into her mouth!"
I said angrily: "Stop it! Hurry up, carry the person out and show his head what to do."
"Why should I carry it! I won't carry it!"
Dou Yazai rolled his eyes and said, "How about... let Zhao Xuanxuan come down and carry her? She is very brave!"
"It's impossible for Xiaoxuan to do this job! You just called me mother yesterday! Are you going to deny it today? It's only natural for a son to collect the body of his mother! Hurry up!"
Dou Sprout's face changed. After my repeated urging, he put his hands on a sack and reluctantly carried the "old woman" out.
Now a question arises.
The old woman was found, but Yang Jun was not found.
I searched all the corners of the ancient tomb and was puzzled. Could it be that the human-footed badger had eaten the people? My scalp goes numb when I think of that scene.
The tombs of the Jin Dynasty are rich, the tombs of the Song Dynasty are poor, and the tombs of the Liao Dynasty are full of gold.
The pure stone chamber tombs of the Song Dynasty are okay. The owner of the tomb may have been an official during his lifetime, but the pure brick chamber tombs generally bury ordinary people. The absence of epitaphs found in the tombs confirms my point of view, because ordinary common people are not qualified to use epitaphs. Ming.
There is no coffin, but a stone bed. This phenomenon is common in Hubei and Guangxi areas. There is an 80% probability that the couple is buried together in the tomb. I turned my head and looked at the stone bed. I seemed to be able to see a couple who were buried together eight hundred years ago. The loving couple lay side by side on the stone bed fighting.
By now, it was all rotten, not even the bones were left, only a bed of mud.
I lit a cigarette and stood by the stone bed while I waited for Dou Sprout to bring down the sacks to put the burial objects. I took a quick glance and saw seven or eight plum vases buried in the mud.
Don’t think that plum vases are valuable when you hear them. Only plum vases after the Yuan Dynasty are valuable. Most of the plum vases at that time were exquisitely made display vessels. Before the Yuan Dynasty, plum vases in the Tang and Song Dynasties were basically practical utensils for common people. The colors are mainly brown and black, and they are all wine bottles used to hold wine.
Soon, Dou Sprout came down with a pile of snakeskin bags.
The reason why the head and Brother Yu didn't come down is because the hole is relatively narrow, and Brother Yu's bust is really difficult to drill down. I guess he will get stuck halfway through.
Dou Sprout doesn't care about anything, even mud and soil. Whatever he catches, he stuffs it into the sack.
"Damn, Fengzi, look! There's still an incisor stuck on this bottle!" Bean Sprout said and was about to get rid of it.
"do not move!"
"What's wrong?"
I pointed at the plum bottle and said, "Don't move this tooth. Protect it! Just keep it on top! Without these front teeth, this bottle is only worth 5,000 yuan. With this tooth, it is worth at least 50,000 yuan!"
"Real or fake! Who will buy it? He must be sick!"
"You don't understand, this is a trace of history! This is what rich bosses like!"
"Really? Fengzi, how about we search carefully, and if we find other teeth, we can just install them! How about that?"
"That won't work! If there are too many, they won't be valuable!" I rejected Bean Sprouts' suggestion.
Later, our "front tooth bottle" changed hands several times, and the price soared to 600,000! Finally, it was sold to the Jining area. Since the year this tooth bottle was unearthed, the trend in the industry has changed, and people have gradually begun to pursue the so-called "original taste and original state." For most things, those with soil are more expensive than those without soil.
This trend has continued from that time to the present. Nowadays, people from the north generally do not clean and finalize funerary objects, so that they can be sold at high prices. However, this also has disadvantages. Even fools know that the bronzes with soil have dirty origins. Therefore, many people have entered, and the benefits and risks coexist. This is true.
Because it is easy to be targeted by haters, everyone in today's Northern School is very careful. After backfilling the stolen holes, a layer of grass seeds will be sprinkled on top. Photographs will never be taken on site, and buyers will never be allowed to leave during shipment. Anyone who dares to take photos at home is breaking our rules. We will not cooperate with such buyers.
I mean, weren’t there a few Guangxi tomb robbers who were caught wearing dragon robes stolen from tombs and hairnets like fools a few days ago? Those few people are not from the northern sect, nor are they from the southern sect. They are pure wild people who disgrace their peers.
After taking the things, we backfilled the soil hole, but Yang Jun's mummy was not found. We couldn't figure this out. Maybe it was eaten clean by badgers with human feet.
Then, with their heads behind their hands, Douyazai and Xiaoxuan carried two sacks of funerary objects. Brother Yu and I carried the human-legged badger back to the camp one after another, just like we carried pigs during the New Year.
noon.
"Boss, are you really going to cook this thing!?"
He smiled and said: "Yunfeng, there is no need to make a fuss. This thing has been rare for decades. It is fate that we can meet it. Not to mention immortality, at least it can prolong life."
"It's not the head! Then have you ever thought about it! This thing may have eaten people!"
"That's right! I won't eat it anyway!" Dou Sprout said loudly.
He said with a dark face: "From your point of view, dogs eat shit, right? There are so many people in the world who love to eat dog meat, but that doesn't mean they eat shit."
"Besides," the head smiled and said, "I didn't say I forced you to eat meat, but we have to keep two bottles of this thing's blood, so we can definitely use it in the future."
I was relieved when I heard that I didn’t have to eat badger meat.
Hanging the human-footed badger upside down in a tree, Xiaoxuan then began to skin the human-footed badger and bleed it.
Anyway, Xiaoxuan was a bit perverted. She took a knife and cut off the badger's human foot. It was bloody in her hands. Xiaoxuan also smiled and said to me and Douyazai: "Hey! Do you two want to try it? Look, it might be a big supplement."
Douyazai didn't know, but I felt my crotch was chilly.
Over here, Xiaoxuan is collecting the blood of a human-footed badger with a mineral water bottle in her hand, and over there Douyazai and I are having a secret discussion.
Douyazai whispered: "Fengzi, do you think the boss is a bit perverted?"
I whispered: "He is getting older and wants to take some weird supplements and health products to live for two more years. This is a common problem at his age. You can't blame him."
Douyazai whispered to me with a lewd smile: "Not necessarily. If the legend is true, then this thing may be a great tonic for men. Do you still remember the old lady from the Han Kingdom? She is getting old. Maybe he wanted to have a son to carry on the family line like Lao Ji, but his head sperm is no longer working and has no activity. I think he wanted to eat the badger with human feet just to make up for this deficiency."
I smiled and said, "You can just talk about this in private. If the boss hears it, we will be dead."
"how?"
Dou Sprout's face turned pale and his mouth was closed tightly.
I slowly turned my head and looked behind me.
I saw a frosty look on his head.
I don't know when he stood quietly behind me and Dou Sprout.
