Chapter 404: Lets just take a look and promise not to dig
Cao Qingchun inquired in detail, he even knew the route.
Under his guidance, the four of them came to a wasteland outside the village.
When he came here, Chen Wenzhe found that this place was really strange.
In this land of plenty and plenty in the south, there is such a wasteland?
The most important thing is that the surroundings are lush and green, and in the middle of this lush green, there will be a wasteland from time to time.
Chen Wenzhe looked around. The environment here was severely damaged, but the general mountain topography and water flow around it had not changed.
Look at this place, it's open all around, with only a small hill behind it.
The feng shui in this kind of place can't be said to be bad, but it's definitely not great either.
However, such a place is very suitable as a family cemetery, because family cemeteries generally need to be large, as long as there are no defects.
The situation here is quite satisfactory.
Also, it is not far from the village and it is easy to bury, so it is very likely that this is a group of tombs!
"Not far over there, there used to be an adobe brick kiln, which was used to bake bricks in the 1980s and 1990s. This is an earth yard, specially used for collecting soil. I heard from the villagers that the soil here can be obtained from this
When the level was high, it was difficult to dig, so it became what it is now."
"The upper surface of the soil has been removed, and the sealing soil below is naturally difficult to dig. Looking at it like this, the sealing soil pile is not big, but there is a lot of it."
After seeing the surroundings clearly and understanding some of the local history, Chen Wenzhe was sure that there were many tombs underground here.
It seems that the size of the tombs here is quite small. Although it is not a big tomb, the burial objects here should not be simple.
"What?" Cao Qingchun was stunned when he heard this. What is the sealing mound?
Zhang Yijie listened very seriously. He was very sensitive to the sealing mounds, because for a period of time, he wanted to drag Chen Wenzhe to look for the sealing mounds around Dahai City.
Unexpectedly, Cao Qingchun, an outsider, found me here first.
"Sealing the mound? Are you sure? It's not a joke, right?" Zhang Yijie looked at Chen Wenzhe and said.
"Are you kidding me? Look over there. Is there a hole? That's caving. Someone has been eyeing this place and even dug a lot."
"Isn't it a rabbit hole?" A hole suddenly appeared in the grass. Cao Qingchun naturally thought it was a rabbit hole.
"That's a robbery cave. Someone discovered it and wanted to see what's going on down there."
"What do you do? You can pick up porcelain pieces, but you can't just dig them up."
Just as a few people were studying the cave carefully, an old man appeared not far away.
From the alert look in his eyes, you can tell that this is not the first time he has encountered such a situation.
It seems that there is a reason why there are still so many unexcavated mounds of earth here, and now the reason has been found.
If there was no one to look after it, this place would have been hollowed out long ago.
"We came here to pick up porcelain pieces, but we didn't expect to see a rabbit hole." Chen Wenzhe reacted the fastest and answered immediately.
"Rabbit hole? I think you are like rabbits without tools? Don't dig around, or you will get beaten!" the old man said with a sneer.
Chen Wenzhe was speechless, he is so experienced!
"Promise not to dig, we will just take a look." Chen Wenzhe said.
Cao Qingchun also said: "We are here to collect things from the village. Antiques and good porcelain pieces are fine, but complete ones are more valuable."
"Are you collecting things? Then you don't have to look. Even if there are broken pieces of porcelain here, we can't dig them out. If you want to collect things, just follow me to the village."
As he said that, the old man still looked at them warily.
They had no choice but to leave.
However, during the process of going back, Chen Wenzhe actually saw several fresh cave explorations.
This must have been targeted by someone, and that's right. The floating soil on top of this place was removed, and what was left was a pile of soil. Anyone with a discerning eye can tell at a glance that there is a mausoleum underground.
Coupled with the situation in the village, there will definitely be no shortage of porcelain underground.
I don’t know who’s cemetery was here in the past, but there are so many graves with sealing soil. It seems that there are many wealthy families here.
However, the tombs here are not big, and some are even a little small.
While walking and observing, Chen Wenzhe found that the small cemetery covers an area of 20 to 30 square meters, and the larger one is not very big, only more than 100 square meters.
It sounds like it's not small, but in fact the larger mausoleum here only occupies a radius of about ten meters.
This is obviously a family cemetery. If there were no mounds sealed everywhere, this would be a normal family cemetery formed by people living together.
But it is obviously different here. There are so many mausoleums with mounds of earth piled up, which is very unusual.
The mound of sealed soil is easy to recognize. It may have been specially treated or compacted, so the mound of sealed soil here is relatively hard. It should have been barren of grass. Even now, it is difficult for plants to grow on it.
Therefore, the surrounding area is all cultivated land, but this area looks relatively desolate.
Such a scene is too obvious, so it can easily attract the attention of tomb robbers.
However, the villagers here are quite responsible and actually sent an old man to patrol continuously. Otherwise, the tombs here should have been excavated long ago, right?
While walking, Chen Wenzhe saw a piece of broken porcelain, a very small piece with no flowers or patterns on it, only the size of a fingernail.
It seems that you can find this kind of thing here, the others must have been picked up and sold.
Holding the small broken porcelain, Chen Wenzhe observed while walking.
But no matter how he looked at it, he couldn't figure out why there were so many broken porcelain pieces here!
An ancient tomb of this level should not have many burial objects.
"Old man, what's going on in your village? Why are there so many broken pieces of porcelain?"
On the way back to the village, Cao Qingchun was looking for something to talk about and asked for some information.
"This has been said for a long time. Decades ago, when we were firing red bricks and collecting soil here, we found a large amount of porcelain. Unfortunately, the porcelain was stuck together and could not be separated. With a little effort, it could be separated.
It broke, so there were a lot of broken porcelain pieces."
"At that time, I didn't treat it as a good thing, so I just threw it away in the dirt yard. Later, when some people built their houses, they picked some beautiful ones and used them as ceramic tile decorations and pasted them on the walls. Unexpectedly, in the past ten years,
It actually attracted a lot of people, and some people even went to dig in the dirt field privately."
After saying that, the old man glanced at the four of them. Needless to say, the four of them were also targets of the village's precautions.
Their village is now so famous that many people make a living by selling porcelain tiles.
If you outsiders dig it, what will they sell?
Although these words were not said, Chen Wenzhe could imagine them.
"Have you ever seen the porcelain that was unearthed back then? How were they stacked? Are they stacked together in a messy manner, or are they stacked in an orderly manner?"
