After four or five people went down, several villagers could always hear unclear cries not far away. The cries were immature and vague, and they kept coming from the depths of the pit, as if someone was covering the baby's mouth.
Let them cry. The people below sent a signal, and the ropes and wire ropes were thrown down from above. After a while, four or five people came up from below, and all the people around the pit, including the simple pulley
Work together.
But what they wanted to hoist was very heavy, and the soil in the crop fields was too soft to bear. Several simple pulley supports soon fell over. As a last resort, the Germans asked the villagers waiting nearby to come over and help. In the end, it was almost
Everyone used human deadlifts from both sides of the pit.
At first, the villagers couldn't see what was in the pit. When everyone pulled up together, clear baby cries suddenly erupted from the bottom of the pit. The villagers who helped heard it very clearly this time.
I was shocked at that time. How could there be such a sound under the crops?
All the ropes were tightened. Immediately afterwards, a large and heavy object was pulled up from the mud at the bottom of the pit. The four or five people who went down before had obviously made preparations. This heavy object
The thing should be a square container with the mouth facing upwards, but the mouth is blocked by several layers of thick tarpaulin to prevent muddy water from being poured in when it is dragged upwards.
The cry came from this square container with its mouth tied.
It’s hard to tell how heavy this thing was, but they used all their strength to pull it up little by little. The tarpaulin that tied the mouth was not untied. After the thing was pulled up, someone immediately washed it with water.
The villagers didn't know what it was, but they still remembered most of the shape of the thing, but they couldn't describe it. A stocky villager took the paper and pen in Jia Luorong's hand and started to draw. His drawing was very poor, but
When Mustache saw what he drew, he could still roughly recognize it.
It was a tripod, a square tripod with four legs. According to the villagers, although it had been buried underground for many years, the tripod was brought up and the mud was washed away with water, and it was still well preserved. The mustache judged that it was a metal tripod.
The tripod is probably a bronze tripod.
Moreover, there were curved patterns on the tripod painted by the honest villager. The more the mustache looked at it, the weirder it became. However, the villager’s painting skills were like this, and he could not communicate directly and in detail with the other party. The mustache thought for a while.
, I redrawed the curved patterns by myself and handed them to the other party for him to identify.
When the villagers saw the pattern on the tripod that Mustache had redrawn, they immediately nodded and said that it looked like this. In this way, Mustache felt a little unusual in his heart, because it was not actually a pattern, but a pattern.
It's a dragon pattern.
Dragon Pattern Cauldron?
Regarding the dragon-patterned tripod, Xiaozhu was not ignorant. There was more than one dragon-patterned tripod from the Shang and Zhou dynasties unearthed so far, but the strange conversation he accidentally overheard at the nine-story pagoda also involved the dragon-patterned tripod.
If something can come into the sight of the Special Tasks Office, it will not be an ordinary thing. Xiaozhu still doesn’t know the specific situation of this square tripod, nor does he know that it is the same as the one that the Special Tasks Office took away from Shaanxi many years ago.
Is there any contact with Zunding? This place is too remote and cannot be contacted with the outside world and cannot obtain relevant information.
After the dragon-patterned cauldron was pulled to the ground, the cries inside could no longer be heard. The Germans could not transport such a heavy thing away immediately. They carried it to a tent at that time. They may have made a preliminary identification and then freed up a tent.
They took the car and took away the things overnight. From the beginning to the end, the villagers didn't know what was in the tripod.
That is to say, after the dragon-patterned tripod was unearthed, the Germans may have sensed that there was something else going on in this place. They dismissed the villagers who came to help and did not allow them to get closer to the work site. The villagers talked about it piecemeal.
In some cases, they said that the bloody Tibetan was not buried after his death, but was placed in a special tent. Mustache felt that the Germans might want to find some clues from this person.
The villagers couldn't explain the rest of the details clearly. They all felt that these outsiders were doing terrible things, so people in the village were panicked, especially the cry of the baby coming from the pit, which made people panic.
They were so excited that they were afraid that these terrible things would harm them and destroy the farmland they depended on for survival.
During the exchange with the villagers, Mustache secretly observed their six fingers countless times. All the six fingers were located next to the little finger of the left hand. This kind of six fingers was not circular, but had a large curvature. The kind that existed decades ago.
The side effects caused by the light red highland barley have passed their peak. Although most people in the village now have six fingers, there are two newborns with very normal hands. This shows that the wonderful effects of highland barley penetrated into the human body are gradually disappearing.
.
After listening to the villagers' narration, Mustache was a little confused. He wanted to see the dragon-patterned tripod with his own eyes, but it had been taken away. He also wanted to see the body of the Tibetan who was turned into a bloody man after going into the pit.
, but the security over the crop fields was very tight, and he didn't know if he could find an opportunity.
Mustache's slightly furrowed brow caught Jialuorong's attention. She tilted her head to think about it, gestured to Mustache, and asked him if he wanted to go there and have a look.
"Is there anything you can do?" Mustache asked casually, but at the same time a strange feeling arose in his heart. He felt that he was getting closer to Jia Luorong invisibly. He was just thinking about how to find a chance to see him.
Look, Jialuorong seems to be able to read his thoughts.
Jia Luorong smiled and signaled to Mustache: There is always a way. Then, she raised her finger and pointed to the sky, saying that it would be after dark.
Next, the two of them ate something at a villager's house. Jialuorong's appetite was very small. She only drank some butter tea and a piece of tsampa. She was full. She ran out to communicate with several young men in the village.
. Outsiders are rarely seen in the village, especially a Tibetan girl with white skin like Jialuorong. She seems to have been born with a gift from God. She is pure and beautiful. Several young people surround Jialuorong like stars holding the moon.
In the middle.
There was definitely nothing that could be done during the day, until after dark, the village soon became quiet. Mustache and Jia Luorong were sitting outside the house, and several young people who had communicated with Jia Luorong during the day were tiptoeing not far away.
They stopped, they brought some things, Jia Luorong smiled at them, and several young people suddenly became as excited as if they had been given blood, and turned around and disappeared into the night.
It wasn't until these young men had gone far that Jialuorong signaled to Mustache, meaning that these young men would try their best to cause some trouble, distract the Germans' attention, and create some opportunities for Mustache.
"That's very dangerous." Mustache wanted to stop Jia Luorong immediately and call those young people back. This was not the time to play pranks. Once there was any movement, the German team would shoot directly and beat the target to pieces.
Jia Luorong gestured to Mustache and said not to worry, those young people would not cause trouble themselves, they had solutions.
After about twenty minutes, Jialuorong signaled to Mustache that it was time to head towards the crop fields outside the village. The time should be about the same.
Jialuorong stayed here and Xiaozhu went over by himself. When he quietly came to the vicinity of the crop field, there were fewer people around the big pit. It was estimated that some of the other people were taking turns sleeping. Xiaozhu waited here for at most ten minutes.
, there was movement at the edge of the crop field, and the members of the German team were not soft-boiled, because the noise was very loud, and it immediately attracted their attention.
At this moment, two cars drove up from a distance, turned on their headlights, and flattened a field of crops. They drove to the side of the camp, and several people jumped out of the cars. They obviously noticed the movement in the distance.
He immediately called out all the people in the tent. At this time, Mustache noticed that there was a tent far away from the camp, which was the tent where the corpses were stored.
There was a flash of fire in the distance, and there was a faint sound of gunfire. Many figures were moving quickly among the mature highland barley bushes. The people in the camp were very nervous. After a moment of panic, they immediately organized countermeasures. Most of them covered up from three sides, and the rest
A few were guarding the edge of the pit, and a few were left by the tents in the camp.
The scene in the dark night was a bit chaotic. Some young people in the village didn't know how they made it happen. In short, the movement was very loud, which made people panic. Although there were still people in the camp, it created some opportunities for Mustache.
He lay flat on his back in the highland barley bushes, quickly approached the camp, made a long circle, and directly approached the tent where the hidden body was placed.
There was a German outside the tent. He was one of the two cars that had just arrived. This man was obviously not guarding the tent, but was just using the terrain here to observe the situation in the distance. This German was 1.8 meters tall.
He was tall and relatively strong, but he was not the member responsible for the expedition or security work. He was very strong, but he had not been trained. Mustache easily put him down quietly and dragged him behind the tent.
While dragging the German man, Mustache felt that there was something stuffed in his arms. It was a very strong folder, but the ten or so pages contained in it were all handwritten in German, which Mustache could not understand.
He continued to search, but official members of the Saber Corps would not carry anything with them to prove their identity.
However, in the German's close-fitting pocket, Mustache found several folded papers. He hurriedly opened them and glanced at them, his eyebrows immediately twitching slightly.
