I still remember that it was around 5 o'clock in the evening that day. When Dou Sprout and I dug about four meters underground, we discovered blue bricks.
Sure enough, there is something...
I threw away the cigarette butt in my hand and continued digging. Soon, a rusty stone slab was exposed in the soil.
Judging from the appearance, this should be a cellar similar to a latrine, built with blue bricks, covered with a stone slab on top, and then buried with soil.
There is no text or pattern on the stone slab, it is just an ordinary bluestone slab, weighing about two to three hundred kilograms.
"Can you use some strength? You haven't eaten."
Douyazai gasped and said: "Fengzi, look how much sweat is coming from my head. It's not that I haven't exerted my strength! It's that this thing is too heavy!"
"Stop talking nonsense. If you can't move it, use a crowbar. If that doesn't work, just smash it with a hammer!"
I asked Brother Yu to throw down the crowbar, and then I worked hard with Dou Sprout to pry the stone slab.
He kept his head silent and watched us on the hole.
Using the principle of leverage, my entire upper body was pressed against the crowbar. With Dou Sprout yelling, the stone slab that had been buried underground for hundreds of years was slowly pried open to create a gap.
I squatted down and shined a flashlight inward.
There was also soil buried in the cellar. The soil was reddish-brown in color and uneven, just like rust. It was hard to tell what was buried.
Douyazai and I carefully jumped down, dug twice with a shovel, and dug out a broken iron sword hilt.
Dig down with the shovel.
Iron spears, iron forks, iron daggers, iron lance heads, iron bows, iron crossbows, iron arrowheads, iron hammers, iron armor pieces, etc. were dug out one after another. The quantities were very large and the variety was amazing.
Those pieces of iron armor have grown together with the soil, and have become a big lump of rust, which cannot be separated at all.
After digging until about six o'clock, Douyazai was sweating profusely and gasping: "Did we dig a weapons pit? It's full of bad knives and swords! Why are there not any valuable ones!"
I was also very tired, so I said, "Don't panic, we haven't dug to the bottom yet. What if there is something at the bottom?"
After saying that, I shook the rope and signaled Brother Yu to pull up the soil.
It's past seven o'clock.
As soon as I put on my headlamp, I heard Dou Sprout shouting: "Fengzi, come and see! There is a big tank!"
A section of the jar's eaves is exposed from the soil, which is a pottery jar.
The first reaction in my mind was a vat of copper coins. It might be Northern Song Dynasty copper coins, or Xixia copper coins. If it was Xixia copper coins, it would be a big deal!
Back then, a rotten Xixia Wenzhenguan treasure could be sold for 40,000 yuan! If this was a big vat, how much would it cost?
"Be careful," I said to Dou Sprout, "don't use a shovel. The space is small and the shovel can easily damage things. Use a small shovel."
After saying that, I squatted on the ground, straightened my headlight, and cleaned it with a small shovel.
As the cleaning progressed, a complete large pottery jar was exposed, with some broken bricks and tiles inside.
This thing couldn't be moved, so Dou Sprout picked up the broken pieces in the tank and turned it over twice, revealing a dead bone, which seemed to be a thigh bone.
Dou Sprouts and I looked at each other, where are the coins?
At the moment when the bones were exposed, a strong wind suddenly blew from above. The wind blew so loudly that it was so hard that I couldn't even open my eyes.
This is not a tomb. Human bones suddenly appeared in the jar. Who is he?
Clean up little by little.
White bones from other parts of the human body were also found in the jar, and the skull was the last one to leak out.
Half of the eye sockets of the skull were buried in the soil, looking at us sideways, it looked a bit strange.
"What are you looking at? How dare you stare at me?"
Dou Sprout cursed, clasped the two holes of the skull's eye sockets with his hands, lifted it out of the tank and said, "Brother, you think I'm afraid of you, get up here!"
After that, he kicked the skull up like a football.
The skull rolled to Brother Yu's feet. Brother Yu lowered his head and said, "Sin, Amitabha, Yazai, you must be virtuous, or you may turn into a ghost and take revenge on you."
Douyazai chuckled, rushed up and said loudly: "Brother Yu! It's best to get me a beautiful female ghost. I don't ask for much, just look like a xxx star!"

Suddenly there was thunder and then raindrops fell from the sky.
