The pointed crowbar was thrown down, I picked it up and pried it hard at the cracks in the bricks.
It's very laborious without tools. This kind of broken brick vault can be broken open with just a few clicks of an ordinary diamond needle, not to mention a cannon needle.
It took a lot of effort for me to use the crowbar. Finally, I pressed my whole body on it and was able to pry up an old brick.
This kind of ancient vault with three straight and one horizontal, also called three straight and one ding, is easy to fix as long as one brick is tilted up.
The broken bricks fell down, revealing a dark hole.
I put on my headlamp and looked down.
The bottom is a tomb with a brick structure. There is no tomb passage. Because there is a layer of rammed earth missing on the vault, the heavy rain in the past two days flowed into the tomb along the gaps in the vault.
When I shined a light on it, I saw that there was water and mud underneath, which could probably reach up to a person's calf.
Visually, the height was about two meters. I jumped straight down, splashing mud on my pants.
this....
What the hell is this place...why are there so many latrines?
There are more than a dozen circular pits on the floor of the tomb, with an interval of about one meter between each pit.
Some pits have completely collapsed, while others have not yet collapsed. They look very much like toilet pits.
I squatted down and took a look with my flashlight. I saw that these circular pits were two to three meters deep. There was water at the bottom of the pits. I could vaguely see some pieces of rotten cloth soaked in the muddy water.
Also, at the edge of these circular pits, there is a blue brick buried. When you wipe the dust with your hand, two words are engraved on the green brick.
"Zeyuan".
Head full of questions.
Zeyuan? I know there is a hotel in Beijing called Fengzeyuan, but that’s definitely not the case.
What kind of tomb structure is this?
With so many pits, could it be an ancient public toilet?
Behind me is an arch made of bricks, because I came down from the "top" and did not take the door.
I stood up and raised my flashlight to look at the brick carvings with simple patterns on the surrounding walls. Judging from the style, they were from the Northern Song Dynasty. The brick carving figures in the tombs of the Northern Song Dynasty, both men and women, all had oval faces, because these were not carved with knives.
Printed with a mold.
At that time, there were small private workshops specializing in making this kind of tomb bricks, and they could choose any pattern.
The tomb brick carvings of the Song Dynasty are not valuable and no one wants them, and their value is far less than those of the Northern Qi and Northern Wei Dynasties. This is mostly because of this. In the Northern Qi and Northern Wei Dynasties, they were all carved by hand.
I don't know what the dozens of round pits in the tomb are for. I was about to take a closer look when suddenly, the red light of the walkie-talkie in my hip pocket came on, and there was a roaring sound of electricity, which startled me.
"What's wrong?" I shouted up to him.
After waiting for a few seconds, Ye Zi was lying at the entrance of the robbery cave. She lowered her voice and said urgently: "It's over, it's over! Xiang Feng, I saw someone coming! What should I do, what should I do!"
I nervously asked: "How far is it?"
Ye Zi said it was a few hundred meters away and used a flashlight.
It was past 3 o'clock in the morning, and everyone in the village was asleep. Anyone who had nothing to do would go out for a walk in the middle of the night. I told Ye Zi, don't panic, just wait and see, maybe they are just passing by.
I turned off the flashlight and felt that time was passing by minute by minute.
Immediately, Ye Zi shouted again: "It's over Xiang Feng! Come up quickly!"
"I saw it! It's Wang Yonghong!"
I don't even know who Wang Yonghong is, but Ye Zi knows him, he must be a villager.
"Still stunned! Throw the rope down quickly!"
I used my hands and feet to grab the rope and climb up quickly!
After climbing up as fast as possible, I saw that there was another grave bag piled up next to Li Nai's grave pit, because there was no time to backfill it with the excavated soil.
The flashlight light was getting closer and closer, Ye Zi was frightened, she pulled me and ran down the slope.
There is only one way down from the reservoir, and there is no place to hide. If you run up the mountain regardless of anything, as long as that person comes over, there is a 100% chance that the thief will be seen!
In desperation.
Ye Zi suddenly pushed me, she threw me down, and then sat directly on my waist.
