Chapter 183: The Rumor of the Terracotta Figures 1
During the excavation work at that time, no villagers witnessed the situation at the site. After the excavation, all the blood-patterned pottery figurines were transported away, including complete pottery figurines and fragments. The cultural relics department specially found several load-bearing vehicles.
The truck and the carriage were covered with canvas to cover the pottery figurines. When they left, they gave partial compensation to several villagers. The compensation was actually quite large, but the villagers who received the money were not very happy because
Although they have never entered the excavation site, they know that there are many pottery people buried under their home.
Although experts from the cultural relics department have specially explained to the villagers and reassured them not to think wildly, there is no ancient tomb underground, it is just the ruins of an ancient workshop for making pottery figurines. But whether the villagers believe these explanations is another matter.
.
However, the foundation of one of the villagers has been dug and they cannot continue to build a house. Some surrounding villagers came to help. They worked during the day and went home to sleep at night. After the foundation was basically dug, bricks, tiles, wood and other building materials were
They were all shipped over. They were afraid of being stolen, so someone had to watch them at night.
Things are like that in rural areas. Many times they are symbolic. For example, a large melon field with only a shack built on the edge of the field. A melon watcher cannot control the large melon field at all. But as long as someone is watching, the thief will
People will feel weak and dare to take action easily. Therefore, only the male owner of the family can guard these building materials at night.
In the middle of the night, the male owner who was looking after the materials was woken up by a sound. When building a house in the past, no matter how big or small, the lights on the construction site were always on day and night, so when the male owner opened his eyes in a daze, he saw
There was a man with his back to him, digging soil in a corner of the foundation with a shovel.
The man of the house shouted, but the man who dug the soil ignored him. He got up and ran over to take a look. He walked up to him, but the man still ignored him. The man of the house felt a little strange and a little weak, so he gradually increased his volume.
At the same time, he quietly picked up a shovel next to him.
With such a loud shout, the digger finally slowly stopped what he was doing and turned his head. When the other person turned his head, the male owner felt that this was a very strange person, definitely not a villager from the surrounding villages. Male
The owner asked him what he was doing here. The other person said nothing, looked at him silently, and then turned around to dig again.
In this short period of time, the male host's mind suddenly realized that this person was not a complete stranger. He seemed to have a slight impression, or he might be the foundation. Excavation of such a scene served as a reminder. The male host suddenly remembered that this person
The man seemed to be a driver sent by the cultural relics department to transport the pottery figurines away.
The male host might have been a little strange at the time. Didn’t the people from the cultural relics department leave already? Why did they come back again? They came back in this quiet way. But it didn’t look right. Only the driver was digging.
In addition, there is not even a human figure. This means that this is just the driver's personal behavior and has nothing to do with the official.[
However, no matter how the male host tried to communicate with the other party, the driver remained silent and just kept his head down digging, but he didn’t know what he was digging. Anyway, it looked something wrong like that at the time, and the male host felt furious and immediately called the village chief to the police.
They shouted, and then they contacted the police station. After dawn, someone from the cultural relics department came and took the driver away.
This thing is strange, but it is not so strange that it is ridiculous. The male host asked the people in the cultural relics department privately if there was anything under his foundation. Otherwise, why would the driver come from the city in the middle of the night?
Dig? The other party replied to reassure him that there was nothing under the foundation. If he built the house properly, there would be no problems. As for why the driver came over in the middle of the night, he probably had some mental problem. He would take him back to the hospital for observation and treatment.
Originally, everyone thought that the driver was taken away and the matter was over. But on the night when the driver was taken away, a corner of the foundation he had dug suddenly collapsed without any warning, as if it was struck by a huge giant.
A piece of the foot collapsed, and after the foundation collapsed, a hole about two to three meters in diameter was exposed. This was very strange. Before the foundation was dug, it was an old house owned by a villager. He had lived there for who knows how many years. Why?
Maybe it was because the driver dug a few shovels and it took more than ten hours before a hole of that size collapsed.
People in the village like to join in the fun. If something happens to a family, almost everyone in the village who can walk will come around to take a look. The next day, many people come to see the dark hole. It turns out that a few young and bold people
Many people still want to go into the cave to have a look, but as soon as they approach the entrance of the cave, there is an unspeakable strange smell. More importantly, everyone will feel the gloomy atmosphere constantly coming out of the cave, making people tremble all over.
For this reason, the cave explorer gave up the idea, and the group of people did not disperse, but continued to watch from a distance.
As a result, the work on the foundation was completely impossible, and the male owner was restless. In addition, some aunties in the village kept talking about how this hole was, and how it was so dark that even the sun could not cover it.
It really frightened him. This was a place where a house was to be built, so he couldn't be careless. In desperation, he went to the neighboring village and invited the old man over.
It's hard to say how capable the old man is, but anyone who has dealt with him knows that he is a smooth man. If you tell him what he can do, he will do it. Otherwise, no matter how much money you give him, he will do it.
It was useless. When the old man was invited over, he ran to the dark hole and took a look. He shuddered, stood at the hole, stretched out his hand and grabbed a handful inside.
After grabbing this one, the old man turned around and left without saying a word. He walked to the entrance of the village and then told the man who was chasing him that he should not build a house because this land would not be peaceful and he should find a place further away.
My son built a house. This is what the old man told him, but when the man of the house asked him why, the old man refused to tell him.
In those days, it was a dream to find another homestead in the village. Many families suffered severe head injuries because of a few inches of homestead land. The man had no choice but to find someone to fill the hole and continue.
When building a house, he thought very simply. After the house was built, he would spend some money at most and invite people to come and see it and do rituals.
The hole was very dark and deep, but no one had ever gone down there, so they didn’t know how deep it was. Many people gathered around and filled the hole with soil, filled in the collapsed soil, and pulled ten more holes from outside the village.
A few truckloads of soil, a dozen truckloads of soil, at least twenty or thirty square meters, but filling it with this soil is like throwing a handful of sand into a pond, without even a splash. Now, people are stupid
, there was a lot of soil outside the village, but they couldn't explain why it was so strange, because when everyone was filling the hole with soil, they felt vaguely uneasy, but they didn't know where the uneasiness was.
While they were discussing in low voices, all the poultry and livestock in the whole village, large and small, seemed to be going crazy at the same time. The poultry and livestock that were scattered in the village were running crazy together, and the pigs and sheep locked in the rolls were also running with all their might.
The animals ran to the entrance of the cave and couldn't stop them one after another. A lonely old man raised a few sheep, but he lost sight of them and they all jumped into the cave.
This made the old man cry all the time.
At that time, there were many dogs in the village. Most of them were local dogs that were kept to guard the homes. After the livestock and poultry jumped into the holes, these dogs also began to run wildly towards the entrance of the holes. Dogs are humane animals.
Running, many owners chased after them, calling the names of the dogs. People at the time could see that those dogs did not always look back. Some of them were usually very smart. When they heard the owner's call, they obviously slowed down.
However, there was something in the hole, which seemed to have an inexplicable call to the dog. The dog that slowed down just whined and hesitated for a moment, and then continued to run away with the other dogs.
In less than an hour, almost all the poultry and livestock in the village jumped into the hole. This extremely abnormal phenomenon made the villagers frightened. This scene was indeed very rare and frightening. The cattle plowing the fields were struggling.
He jumped into the hole, but the people behind him couldn't hold him back. Several families near the foundation moved out that day and stayed with relatives and friends because they really didn't dare to stay any longer.
But this is not the end of the matter. When all the poultry and livestock in the village jumped in, the livestock in the neighboring village not far away, as long as they could run, all rushed here in unison, and rushed directly towards the cave.
Jump. Soon, this weird phenomenon spread to almost the entire township. There were different opinions. Anyway, it was so chaotic that even the township police station came down to police officers. However, these things were completely different from criminal security cases, and it was not easy for the police to come.
.
Not only domestic livestock and poultry, but two or three days later, some wild animals that had been extinct from densely populated areas for a long time, including rabbits, badgers, small deer, and even wolves, rushed into the village. Just like before, these wild animals
After rushing into the village, I jumped into the hole. In those few days, at least hundreds of various livestock jumped into the hole, but there was no trace after jumping in, as if they were completely trapped by the hole.
Devoured.
In this inexplicable mutated "slaughter", the only one who survived was the cat. All the nearby cats came, domestic cats and wild cats, about a hundred large and small, but they did not rush into the hole like other animals.
He jumped, but did not leave, and just gathered around the cave. More than a hundred cats, all colorful, gathered in a circle, plus various animals that often ran over like crazy, the scene was quite strange.[
