9 a.m. the next day, sulfuric acid plant office.
"Mr. Zhao, Lao Niu and three others from Xichang have returned to their hometown. We are going to dig some ground tonight. Lao Niu introduced these three people."
A woman in her 50s sat on an office chair with her legs crossed. She had square eyes and a cup of coffee in her hand.
"Outsourcing?"
"Old Wang, you also know that our factory's current efficiency is average. How much does it cost to outsource? I didn't want to start the project. Since Lao Niu has returned to his hometown, let's forget it and let's talk about it next year."
"That's right, Mr. Zhao," I said, "We will do the project. If the factory has a budget, just give us a price."
The old woman with glasses picked up the coffee cup, glanced sideways at Lao Wang, and said nothing.
Lao Wang immediately understood the meaning and whispered: "Don't worry, Mr. Zhao, everything will remain as usual. The factory director will not know about it."
The old woman showed a smile. She put down her coffee cup, looked at Brother Yu and said with a smile: "I have to think about this matter. I have a meeting in the afternoon. If you are free, young man, please accompany me."
.
Ten minutes later, we came out of the office.
Dou Sprout had a strange expression on his face and burst out laughing when he looked at Brother Yu.
"Brother Yu, you must be aggrieved in this mortal world. The old woman has taken a liking to you. As the old saying goes, this woman is like a wolf at thirty, a tiger at forty, and can absorb dirt while sitting on the ground. You are so strong, maybe someone will
Good mouthful."
"roll!"
Brother Yu kicked Bean Sprouts in the butt.
I said: "This deputy factory director is very important. You will accompany her to a meeting in the afternoon. If nothing happens, we can start work tonight. I have already contacted the hook machine. Will you start it?"
Brother Yu's expression changed, he shook his head and said, "I don't know how to use the hook machine."
"What about you?" I asked Dou Sprout again.
"Me? I can drive a forklift, a fish-forklift, and I've never touched a hook-and-loop machine."
I said that I should go back first. If I couldn’t do it in the afternoon, I would have to find an outsider who knew how to open a hookup machine.
Unexpectedly, when I told the story after I got back, Xiaomi raised his hand and said, "Don't look for outsiders, I can drive."
Dou Sprout looked unbelieving.
"Really? You know how to drive. Don't bury the rest of us at night and you don't even know."
Xiaomi said: “Someone taught me how to work on a construction site before, and I could drive it when I was 15 years old.
"
"Okay, it's best not to use outsiders. Then Xiaomi, you can try it at night. If there is no problem, Brother Yu will probably call me at about five o'clock. The colored steel tiles will be delivered by then. We will cooperate with Lao Wang to block the work area.
stand up."
Douyazai nodded and asked me again: "Fengzi, are those people okay? I went to see them when I came back just now, and there was really no movement at all."
I said it was strange that there was any movement. The robbery cave was so deep and no one went there. Who knew there was someone underground.
That evening we went to the sulfuric acid plant again. Lao Wang had almost blocked off the colored steel tiles and surrounded the brick building. From the outside, it was basically impossible to see the construction inside.
I drew a line on the ground to avoid the robbery hole.
Xiaomi sat in the phone and clicked randomly.
Douyazai shouted: "Can you drive it? If you don't drive it, don't let anyone ruin it! We rent it and it costs more than 200 yuan a day!"
Xiaomi got angry after studying for a long time. She stuck her head out and said loudly: "I'm just getting familiar with it. Brother Dou, can you shut up? If you talk again, I will kill you."
"Ah ha," Dou Sprout jumped back a step, "Come on, hook me to death."
Rumble!
There was a puff of black smoke coming out of the hook machine. Xiaomi held the swing rod and controlled the bucket to aim at the bean sprouts.
"What a fool!"
Bean Sprout was so frightened that he immediately ran behind me.
"Okay, awesome," I gave Xiaomi a thumbs up and directed her to start digging.
This thing is much more efficient than a human being, and it can dig a big hole with just one shovel.
The more Xiaomi drives, the more skillful she becomes. Stepping on the accelerator, turning the dirt, tipping the truck, reversing, turning the steering wheel, and changing gears are all very fast.
Xiaoxuan leaned on the outer colored steel tiles and paid attention to the movement outside. The workers thought it was normal construction here. No one knew what we were doing, and no one would know afterward.
Soon, the hole in the ground became bigger and bigger, and the excavated soil was piled aside. The one I rented had a hydraulic long arm, but it was not enough. Xiaomi's technology is very good. She controlled the hook machine to do it.
There is a big slope, dig down along the slope, and when you are tired, drink some water and continue working.
At around 2 a.m. in the middle of the night, I saw
The soil turned out changed color, and I immediately shouted to stop.
Bean Sprouts and Brother Yu ran over with shovels.
"Be careful, I think I saw something."
After digging through it with a flat shovel, Bean Sprout suddenly shouted: "I found it! There is something in the soil!"
I carefully pulled it out and saw that it was a bronze round tripod with one leg missing.
The round tripod is covered with green rust, and there are two circles of pattern lines on the waist. The upper circle of the pattern lines is decorated with a dragon pattern, and the other layer is engraved with cloud and thunder patterns.
"this."
"From the Warring States Period...?"
When I saw the unearthed things, it was like Wu Xilin said, this is not a Tang tomb!
This round tripod is in the style of the Qin Dynasty. This is a fucking tomb of the Warring States Period!
I was so shocked that I didn’t dare let Xiaomi use the hook machine to dig. What should I do if I found something bad? Xi’an was the capital of Xianyang during the Qin Dynasty. This tomb has never been robbed, so there must be a lot of good stuff.
I tied a rope and went down to the bottom of the pit to take a closer look. There were old blue bricks, which were the top bricks of the tomb. They had all collapsed and were mixed with the tomb passage.
By looking at the arrangement direction of the exposed blue bricks, I discovered that this should be an "A"-shaped tomb from the Qin Dynasty during the Warring States Period, and it was buried very deep.
Qin tombs are rare, and people in the industry generally say "Ya, Jia, Zhong, Shu".
This refers to the form of tombs. Zhongzi-shaped tombs and A-shaped tombs are generally the tombs of nobles. Sub-shaped tombs are slightly worse. Vertical pit tombs are the worst and are used by civilians. The Qin Gong Tomb discovered in Baoji is the Zhongzi-shaped tomb.
The tomb of the Sulfuric Acid Plant is in the shape of A.
Because the entire tomb collapsed, all the funerary objects in the niches of the ear chambers and other places were crowded into the soil. I pulled the soil a few times and something was exposed.
The soil is all red soil, and the silk curtains have oxidized and adhered to the soil, turning into large blocks of red soil. In some places, you can even see gold thread hooks.
There are the largest number of round tripods, and there are also bronze basins engraved with feather patterns, cocoon jars, double-line jars, jade figures made of local jade, and a large number of damaged pottery jars.
"Put down the rope!" I shouted upward.
Because the tomb collapsed and everything was mixed together, I packed whatever I picked up. I basically didn’t have time to take a closer look, so I sent bag after bag of things up and put them in the cargo compartment that Brother Yu drove in.

When nothing could be found on this layer, I asked Xiaomi to open the hook machine and go down a little further to continue digging.
Then two shovels revealed the coffins. There were several rotten coffins buried in the soil, and the coffins had been crushed and deformed.
I looked at several deformed coffins and thought, "If it's right, this might be Jiang Yuan's ancestor."
Although the entire tomb collapsed, the overall coffin was still intact. This type of coffin was two sizes larger than the usual ones, with some black and red paint remaining on the surface.
"I'm sorry, everyone."
He used a shovel to pry open the coffin, revealing the bones of the dead man lying inside.
After so many years, no one moved, and I immediately noticed something was wrong.
Opening several other coffins, the skeletons of the dead were all identical.
These bones, from the knee joint to the ankle, are all facing backwards!
I was puzzled at first, and then a word suddenly occurred to me.
"Reverse body burial."
I have only heard of it, but have never seen it. The history of cross-body burial is older than secondary burial. There is a saying that in the past, after death, before the body was stiff, the family members would break the joints of the deceased, and then, after burial,
The whole thing is reversed.
The old burial scriptures say that this is done to let the dead know that they are dead and will not turn into ghosts and linger in the world to harm their families. I think Jiang Yuan's family's backward way of worshiping ancestors should be related to this strange reaction.
Dismemberment is related.
I found a small hole at the waist of the dead man's bone. This hole is the waist pit. The waist pit has been popular for a while. The reason why the waist pit is left is because people in the past sometimes dug underground water when digging pits. The ancients believed that it was
The water of the Yin River leads to the underworld, so the waist pit is considered the entrance to the underworld after death.
I removed the bones and shined a flashlight into the waist pit.
I couldn't see anything underneath, it was dark and deeper than I imagined.
I didn't dare to reach down, so I reversed the cyclone shovel and used the stainless steel shovel handle to poke around. Maybe there was some treasure inside.
I grabbed the shovel and just sent it down.
Instantly, a chill spread along the shovel handle to my hand.
Very cold.
Just that moment.
My breath turned deep white.
