I found someone and rented the bungalow east of Shuiyin Bridge for 300 yuan a month. The landlord was an honest villager in his fifties, named Ji Dongqi.
It was around 8 o'clock that night, the courtyard door was locked, and we gathered together to discuss the issue of work allocation.
There is no way, I have to dry the loose soil, because according to the exploration, there is too much white plaster mud in this big tomb. If this kind of clay is not treated with loose soil, it will produce a special smell if it is left in the sun for two days.
, the taste is indescribable, anyway, it is very choking.
At this time, he raised his head and asked, "If you drill to a depth of fifteen meters, how long do you two expect it will take?"
Brother Yu thought for a while and said, "I'm afraid it will take at least four and a half hours."
Dou Sprout nodded, "Yes! Four to five hours at least! If you encounter rocks, the time will be doubled! But it would be great if we have a wheel and a blower! We can hit it in two hours!"
I said, "Where can I get a wheelbarrow now? Wait a minute."
It suddenly occurred to me that there is an ancient well in the village, and there is a hand-operated wheel on it! If we can get that thing, we can greatly shorten the time of earth transportation!
I explained this method, but I was immediately opposed by the boss.
The boss said, "Yunfeng, when doing work like ours, never try to save effort. Sometimes saving effort means greater risk. We don't need a wheel this time, so I'll go down and help."
"Ah! Boss! Are you going to work as a geotechnical worker too?" I asked in surprise.
"Why can't I be a geotechnical worker anymore?"
I felt like there was something behind what I said. After thinking about it for a while, I understood.
The boss is showing me his attitude by setting an example.
What he meant was that I should not be too conceited and look down on basic work like loose soil! Even if I become the leader in the future, the grassroots level must do what they deserve.
Three and a half hours later.
It was half past twelve at night, the moon was dark and the wind was high. At this time, the villagers had already fallen asleep, but there were a few weak flashlights flashing around in the woods next to the Mercury Bridge.
I pressed the intercom "Xiaoxuan, is it okay?"
Xiaoxuan is not here. She is out on the bridge outside. Xiaoxuan's voice came from the intercom, "The weather is calm, let's light the fire and start the stove."
I chuckled, this girl knows more and more slang.
The three of them, Betou, Bean Sprout, and Yu Ge, will dig holes for ten minutes each and then take turns. We haven't hit the plaster layer yet, so I'm on top responsible for lifting the soil with a frame.
I rarely see Tou shovel it by myself, but I didn’t expect Tou Tou to be getting stronger. At first, his shoveling speed was no slower than that of a young man like Dou Sprout Zai.
However, after watching for a while, I found that the speed of moving his head gradually slowed down and he began to pant.
After all, Baotou is a man in his seventies. In order to teach me not to be too high-minded and too arrogant, he chose to lead by example. I felt a little distressed when I saw Baotou panting, so I secretly winked at Brother Yu.
Brother Yu immediately understood. He took the tornado shovel from his head and said with a smile, "Headou! It's time! It's my turn! You go up and have a rest first!"
After lifting his head and holding his waist, he slowly sat down under the tree. There was a little loneliness in his eyes, and he sighed, "Hey, time is not forgiving. It seems that I am really old. I think back then, I could do this kind of work alone."
All inclusive,”
I rubbed my head and shoulders and comforted in a low voice, "You are not old at all, Baotou. You are only seventy. It is the time when you are strong and strong. Look at Master Ji. You are also over seventy. You can still have your whole son out in one night."
, Boss, I believe you can do it too."
He glared at me and said, "You're talking nonsense. Can I compare with me? I'm just a blind cat who met a dead mouse and picked up a son through bad luck!"
I curled my lips and didn't refute.
Baotou has been around the world all his life, and now he has no children. I count him as half a son, but after all, he is not a biological son related by blood. In fact, I know that Baotou has been envious of Master Ji for a while.
"well?"
At this time, a question suddenly came into my mind.
"Could it be that the boss is still an old man?
Male? Do you want to ask him?"
I quickly shook my head and thought, "Forget it, if it's true, I'd probably be buried alive in a grave if I asked."
At this time, the thief hole had gone very deep, and I suddenly heard Dou Sprout shouting, "Fuck! Fengzi! Put down the mask and frame quickly! Cream is coming out!"
Cream is the catchphrase of Douyazai, which means that the cream layer is visible. ??
I quickly sent the box down. There was a mask in the box. You must wear a mask when digging out the white plaster mud layer. The smell is poisonous, and the green plaster mud is even more toxic, so you need to wear a double mask for protection.
In the early years, the news often reported that there were cases of tomb robbers dying in tombs. This is true. The cause of such serious consequences is not only a lack of oxygen, but also the presence of green paste, white paste, and white paste in the air.
Volatility is also relevant,
At this time, do not take off your mask to smoke, as you will die quickly. You must wear a mask and set a time to come up for fresh air every five to eight minutes.
While digging, Dou Sprouts kept coughing and cursing, "Cough! It's choking! Damn it! Damn it! This is it! Why is this cream layer so thick!"
When the bean sprouts were shoveled down three times, they saw that there was still a piece of white flowers underneath, which was sticky and thick, and mixed with the soil like mud.
I was surprised when I saw it. I predicted before that there might be a layer of white plaster mud about ten centimeters thick, but now it seems that it is much more than that.
This kind of mud is not cheap. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, a bowl of high-quality white plaster mud could even be exchanged for five bowls of grain. A strange phenomenon occurred when digging here. Not only was there no mound of earth on the surface of this tomb, but there was also no mound underneath.
Rammed soil layer!
Coupled with the appearance of such a thick layer of white plaster mud, it was all very strange! I asked the boss, but even the boss didn't know what was going on.
I pressed the intercom and said, "Xiaoxuan, is there no one at the river? I went out to spread the soil."
"Don't worry, there won't be a soul around."
I put on my mask and carried a large box full of white plaster mud to the river.
Baigao mud and Qinggao mud melt instantly when they meet water. This small river is the best place to spread the soil. In addition, The water flow is always flowing, and the white mud is poured into the river without anyone noticing, and no one can notice it.
I was lying down when I suddenly heard Xiaoxuan's voice saying urgently, "No! Yunfeng! Find a place to hide quickly! Two people are heading towards you!"
Xiaoxuan's sudden voice frightened me. I hurriedly poured the white plaster mud and hid, while Xiaoxuan also squatted on the bridge and did not dare to make a sound.
In the middle of the night, someone suddenly appeared by the river. I hid in the darkness and looked around.
I saw two young people, one male and one female. They both had red makeup on their faces, as if they were opera singers.
It's a bit scary to say the least.
Think about it, at two or three o'clock in the middle of the night, actors in ancient costumes suddenly appear by the river. This scene will inevitably make people imagine.
Seeing the pale faces of the man and the woman, I frowned and thought, "Are these two alive?"
Suddenly, the man spoke. I was not far away, and it was late at night, so I could hear him clearly.
"Junior sister, you know that my feelings for you have never changed. She and I were just having fun during the three glasses of wine singing in the class tonight."
The woman stood by the river and said, "Brother, I understand, but I saw you being intimate with other women, and I just felt uncomfortable."
The man put his arms around her waist and said with a smile, "Haha, Xiaolang Hoozi, you must be jealous."
"Don't touch it, Senior Brother, no one can see how good or bad you are!"
"What are you afraid of? Where is anyone here? It's just the two of us."
The two hugged each other and kissed each other. I hid in the dark and breathed a sigh of relief when I saw this scene.
Fortunately, he is a human being.
They kissed for about ten seconds, then the woman gently pushed the man away and said, "Brother, you go to the river to wash your face, otherwise your makeup will rub on my face."
Then the man went to the river to wash his face. He wiped his face casually a few times, turned around and said with a smile, "How's it going? Is it clean?"
The woman was immediately surprised and said, "Brother! What are these white things on your face?"
