I didn't reply. I dug around in the black mud and quickly touched the skull.
Holding it in both hands, I asked Lao Zhang to spread a piece of cloth on the ground and carefully put the human skull on it.
When taking people's money to spend, you can't take it out with your hands clasped in two holes. This is a matter of quality.
"What are you looking at?" Lao Zhang asked.
I frowned and said, "She was a woman. She was about 20 years old when she died, no more than 23 years old."
"Can you see this?"
The candle standing in the corner was still burning, and the flames reflected the two eye sockets of the skull looking a little eerie.
"Look at her teeth. These are permanent teeth. The replacement of permanent teeth means that she has passed through puberty. This row is the third molar. The molars are white and the crowns are slightly worn. If she is over thirty years old, no matter whether she brushes her teeth or not,
It’s all going to turn yellow here.”
"Also, look at her skull. Is there a crack here?"
Lao Zhang nodded: "Yes, why is there a crack? Could it be that someone smashed it to death?"
"No, you have it too, we all have it."
"This is called a sagittal suture. It starts around the age of 21 and is basically healed by the age of 35. Here, you can clearly see that it has just begun to heal."
"You are looking at the eye socket. This is the coronal suture. If it is completely long, the person must be at least over 60 years old, so he is very young."
"Brother, can you tell how she died?"
I shook my head and said I didn't know, I couldn't tell.
They opened the coffins in order and found that four women and one man should have been buried here in ancient times.
Judging from the placement, the female coffin should be the secondary coffin, and the male coffin should be the main coffin. The male coffin is not flat. From the appearance, it can be seen that the nanmu material used for the male coffin is extremely thick, more than ten centimeters thick.
I found four elephant-leg bottles in the women’s coffins, one in each coffin. They must have held the elephant-leg bottles in their right hands before they died.
In addition, some scattered gold and silverware were also found, mainly two plain gold bracelets and six small silver wine glasses for drinking.
I was a little disappointed that it was so well preserved and there were no big items, so I immediately set my sights on the main coffin on the far right.
The skull of the owner of the main coffin was mostly buried in the black mud, and I just reached out to clean it.
Suddenly, the candle standing in the corner went out.
The tomb was completely closed and I didn't feel any wind. Why did the candle suddenly go out?
Lao Zhang swallowed and asked me: "Brother, is there something invisible?"
I said, "Yes, right behind you, four women in ancient costumes with pale faces are holding hands and staring at you."
Lao Zhang was clearly sweating on his forehead, and his calves began to tremble.
He is called "a man with heart but no courage". Just now he was so arrogant about making a fortune, but now he is afraid.
Lao Zhang slowly turned his head and turned on the flashlight!
"Hehe... No, there are four women holding hands. Brother, are you trying to scare me?"
"Don't scare yourself by beating yourself up there, come here."
"Take the head out." I told him to work.
Lao Zhang was very nervous. He had just picked up the skull with both hands when he suddenly shouted in pain: "Fuck! Something hit me!"
"What...what is this?"
I took a look and saw that there was a large piece of "white crystal"-like thing growing on the back of the dead person's skull, that is, on the back of the head.
It was crystal clear under the light of a flashlight. If Lao Zhang hadn't picked it up, I wouldn't have been able to see it.
"Damn! It hurts so much, look at my hands bleeding!" He complained that I let him take it.
It was so hard that it actually cut Lao Zhang's finger.
Is it crystal?
No? How come crystals grow on dead people’s skulls?
