"Get out of here, or else I want you to look good first!" Lei Zi roared violently, scaring the fat man to get out quickly. Lei Zi spat on the ground: "Mom, you still dare to embarrass us, don't look at me!"
Look who we are."
"Okay, I'm just a common man." Bai Yi said, "Let's go."
Tang Sancheng also felt uncomfortable: "These people are afraid that others will dig too old before them, so they want to drive everyone else away. They don't even think about it. With so many people digging at the same time, they can also exclude the area. In fact, they are mutually beneficial.
If it is beneficial, why exclude each other, with me and without you?"
"Innocent, it's better to think so like you." Lei Zi said disapprovingly: "Like us, when we meet our peers, we will inevitably have a fight. This is difficult to avoid."
Tang Sancheng was speechless. Looking at the people around him, some were fair-looking, and some looked like they were working as coolies. No matter what class or age they were, they all wanted to dig out Tai Sui and make a fortune. It seemed that
Profit is always the most tempting bait.
Bai Yi and the others returned to the eldest sister's house and had nothing to do. They helped the eldest sister chop firewood and tidy up the house. The eldest sister and her family were very grateful and kept making arrangements for them to rest. Bai Yi felt this
I was very moved by the tranquility of rural life. How great it would be if one day I could live such a peaceful life with Fu Yu? While Bai Yi was meditating, Qixie and Xiaoshan came back happily.
The two of them gained a lot. Qixie was very knowledgeable about the characteristics of plants. He showed the grass on his hand that looked like foxtail grass and whispered: "This kind of grass, as long as it is lit, the smell it emits can make people fall asleep as soon as possible.
, it has a soothing effect. As long as we sneak into the crowd and light it at night, we will have no worries."
Xiaoshan volunteered and said, "I'll do it!"
"Okay, I'll leave it to you. Your steps are light and your body is light, which is just right." Bai Yi said.
After finally waiting for the sky to darken, Bai Yi and his eldest sister lied and said they were going to the next village. They led everyone towards the place they had seen during the day, while Xiao Shan quietly sneaked into the place where the tents were gathered, and stood in the leeward direction.
Place to dry the grass during the day
After burning it, I walked to a place with downwind and let the smell of grass float along the wind to the crowd. The smell was very light, but the effect was as Qixie said, it was very effective. After a while, there was thunderous snoring in the tent.
, Xiaoshan left proudly and met with Tang Sancheng and the others.
The tips of Tang Sancheng's ears had long heard the snoring over there. As soon as Xiao Shan came back, he gave him a thumbs up. Then he looked at Xiao Ning and Lei Zi, who were using Luoyang shovels to dig down to see what was underground.
There was no tomb, and the first two shovels were empty. Lei Zi dipped his finger into the mud, put it under his nose, smelled it, and shook his head: "No."
He changed several places in succession until he reached a place near the lotus pond. He shoveled down a lot of black mud and smelled it as usual: "It smells of grass ash, and it was burned down there. Damn it."
, why are you burning the grass? Xiao Ning, give me another shovel!"
Xiao Ning pulled up the Luoyang shovel, and Lei Zi smelled it again: "This smell has the smell of grass ash, and a sour smell, like the smell of corpse liquid mixed in, Bai Yi, I also smelled it that day
The smell is similar, it seems there is some knowledge down here, what do you think, do you want to go down and have a look?"
"Go down." Bai Yi raised his head and looked at the sky. A bright moon hung in the sky. There were two clouds nearby, covering some of the moonlight. With such a good land and sky, his luck should be good. In the end
It was the critical moment. There were not many thrills in this round, but Bai Yi was more nervous than usual.
Bai Yi made the decision, and the others started to move. Tang Sancheng looked at Bai Yi's face: "I didn't expect you to be nervous sometimes."
"What nonsense?!" Tang Sancheng guessed Bai Yi's thoughts, and he actually became angry. He felt embarrassed again. He was too sensitive tonight. He quickly picked up the tools to help Xiao Ning and the others, and went down
After digging about four meters, they saw some scattered bricks. This was not a formed tomb. Lei Zi and Xiao Ning looked at each other, and Xiao Ning's expression changed: "It stinks!"
"There's this smell even before the coffin is opened." Lei Zi said thoughtfully, and then put his nose to the soil and smelled it. With a strong pump, the smell entered Lei Zi's nose unceremoniously.
Inside, he was so disturbed that all his internal organs began to fight: "Damn, this smell... it's like there are thousands of people buried underneath."
Xiao Ning said with a bitter look on his face: "Hurry up, I can't stand the smell anymore, hurry up and see what's underneath." After saying that, Xiao Ning quickly picked up the tool in his hand and started digging quickly.
There are more and more bricks underneath, but a long and narrow passage is exposed. It cannot be called a tomb passage because there is no tomb chamber to speak of.
Xiao Ning snapped his fingers, and everyone jumped down. Tang Sancheng looked at the bricks and said strangely: "That's not right. In the past, we either entered the ear chamber directly or the main tomb chamber. No matter how bad it is, we went directly to the ear chamber or the main tomb chamber."
How can you sneak into the tomb passage? It's completely against the rules."
"It's not a tomb." Bai Yi said with certainty: "These bricks are not even built. Lei Zi, wherever you smell the biggest smell, we will go there."
Lei Zi sniffed and pointed to the right: "Over there."
The direction he pointed was to the pond, where Tai Sui was dug out. The passage was so narrow that you couldn't even straighten your waist, so everyone filed in, bending their waists and drilling through the upper passage. These bricks
It fell scattered on the ground, falling everywhere. I pushed my hands to the ground and accidentally pressed it on the broken bricks. The pain made me want to cry. I finally crawled forward for about ten meters, and finally the place opened up.
You can straighten your body.
Bai Yi always felt something was wrong. He took a flashlight and looked at the place where he came. He saw that the path they climbed extended downwards. The slope was very small and difficult to detect. No wonder the space suddenly became larger after entering. After entering here, the
The unpleasant smell became more and more obvious, Lei Zi turned on the flashlight
After looking around, he saw burnt marks on the ground. Not to mention, there were also some broken bones hidden in the grass ashes. Lei Zi took out his gloves and put them on, squatted down and fiddled with the grass ashes.
He picked up several broken bones and came out: "Look, these are human bones!"
Although the bones were burnt black, from the structural point of view, they should be finger bones. Bai Yi pinched them. Judging from the thickness of the bones, they looked like the finger bones of a boy or a girl: "Strange, could it be that this place used to incinerate corpses?"
place?"
"It's possible, and judging from the smell in the soil just now, the corpses were placed here first, and the corpse liquid seeped into the soil. Then after all the corpses were gathered, bricks were piled up to form an incineration platform and the corpses were piled
They were burned together, and these bones were leftover." Lei Zi said: "Damn, I didn't expect that cremation was so popular before."
"It's a pity that I don't know who the owner of these bones is," Xiao Ning said while shining his flashlight around, hoping to see Tai Sui's shadow. Tai Sui didn't see it, but he saw a stone chair with a stone on it.
The mummy was still sitting in a sitting position. A pair of black holes stared at Xiao Ning gloomily. Xiao Ning was so frightened that he said "ah" and backed away repeatedly. He bumped into Xiao Shan and then stopped. Xiao Shan asked: "What's wrong?"
What's wrong?"
"Look!" Xiao Ning pointed at the skeleton and said, "Look at that!"
