"Is it no problem? No problem. Let's start from area m1. We'll explore these four areas first. I'm thinking of ways to see how I can go up." He raised his head and glanced at the stone building again.
We all said no problem and started working on it.
If a worker wants to do good, he must first sharpen his tools.
These Luoyang shovels that Kong Laoxie helped us build are not vulgar things. They hit rocks without curling the blade, lift and pour soil without sticking to it, and most importantly, they feel good in the hand.
Just like when young people buy mobile phones nowadays, they all pursue the feel and cannot exceed the number of grams.
It only takes ten minutes to explore a pit. Xiaoxuan usually does logistics, so her speed is a little slower, and it takes about fifteen minutes.
A few hours later.
We are almost meeting each other.
"It's strange. It doesn't make sense. Why isn't there a tomb?"
Dozens of digging pits have been dug in area M1, but no trace of ancient tombs has been found. This is a bit abnormal and different from what I expected.
He raised his head and frowned and said: "Don't be discouraged. It's possible that the party members are buried in a certain area. This has just begun. If you are tired, take a rest. We have enough time."
The three of us guys met up and finished fucking, and Xiaoxuan was left digging the last hole.
Xiaoxuan is only 1.6 meters tall. To be honest, the way she holds the shovel looks a bit funny. Douyazai laughed and said: "Haha! Look at Zhao Xuanxuan! It makes me laugh! She has no strength in her hands and can't hit her."
Get down! Haha!”
"You are so ridiculous!"
I slapped Dou Sprout on the head, "You're not much better either."
I squatted on the ground and watched Xiaoxuan digging the hole with a Luoyang shovel. Soon, I frowned.
"So hard to beat?"
I watched her push it four or five times in a row, but the depth of the shovel didn't change.
I hurriedly ran over to help.
"Yunfeng, I can't fight." Xiaoxuan looked a little aggrieved.
"Did you hit a rock? I'll come."
I tried it twice, then immediately threw the shovel and said with a smile: "Don't do it, it's 100% rocks. It's weird that you can hit it. Let's go, eat something and rest."
"oh."
Xiaoxuan picked up the shovel and followed me.
After walking a few steps, I turned back sharply.
I saw that Xiaoxuan had a little gray-white powder on the steel blade of the Luoyang shovel in her hand.
There are very few, and you can't see them at all if you don't look carefully.
"Bring me your shovel."
I knelt down and touched it with my hand.
"No...this is not powder knocked from the stone, this is fucking cement!"
"Why is there cement?"
I wasn't sure, so I ran to hit it twice with a Luoyang shovel. When I saw the fine gray-white powder that came up, it was really cement!
I was shocked and asked the manager what was going on. I had never heard of cement in the soil.
He has been working in the field all his life and is well-informed. Naturally, he knows more than me. He immediately ordered us to dig three exploration pits along the exploration pits made by Xiaoxuan and radiating around.
As a result, the Luoyang shovel was blocked, and the off-white powder was ejected from the soil again.
He took a deep breath and said, "Here we come, it's the big tomb."
"If I guess correctly, this is an extremely rare grout tomb. The owner of the tomb must be rich or noble."
Dou Yazai was a fool, so he heard the boss's last words: "The owner of the tomb is either rich or noble."
"Then what are you waiting for! Don't eat it! Start digging now!" Bean Sprouts said and started to look for a shovel.
His face changed, and he stopped Dou Yazi and said: "Dou Yazi, don't worry, we need to determine now whether the tomb is fully grouted or half grouted."
"If the tomb is half-grouted, maybe we still have a chance."
"If it's full grouting...then there's no need to put in the effort, it's unsolvable."
My expression changed after hearing this.
Most people may not know what a grout tomb is.
Grouting tombs are also called "grouting burials". This is a self-inflicted burial method used by ancient people to prevent theft. It was mostly seen in the middle and early Ming Dynasty and disappeared from the late Ming Dynasty.
Currently, it is publicly known that grout tombs have been discovered only in Taizhou, and several cases have also been discovered in Baoying County, Yangzhou.
In the past, ancient tomb anti-theft methods generally included the following.
Turning boards, broken dragon stones, iron apotheosis, accumulated sand, accumulated stones, mercury, sky fire, tap stones, water storage tombs, door jambs, iron cable hanging stones, among which accumulated stone tombs are the most common, and accumulated stone tombs are seen from above
It is divided into four levels: the capstone area, the capstone area, the gravel area, and the undercover stone area.
In terms of anti-theft effects alone, all of the above pale in comparison to grout tombs.
To put it bluntly, this burial method is just a younger brother’s behavior!
