Dou Sprout stretched out his hand and said: "Hey, why is it raining again? It just rained two days ago."
The rain came without warning, it just fell when told.
I quickly found a fan cloth to block the vat, and I was going to find two rocks to hold the fan cloth down.
At this moment, I suddenly saw something "green" coming out of the tank. I didn't know what it was, so I just picked it up.
I can't move this time.
"What are you still looking at there! Fengzi is coming up! It's coming down hard!"
"Got it! Right now!"
The raindrops fell on my neck, which made me feel cold.
I pressed the button hard and pulled out an arched, green-glazed porcelain-like thing, about 30 centimeters long. I didn't know what it was.
Holding it in my arms, I climbed up in a hurry.
I ran back to the stone house and lit a candle, and then I realized what I was holding in my hand.
It is a green three-color porcelain pillow from the Liao and Jin Dynasties.
This kind of porcelain pillow is rough in workmanship, has a very large curvature to support the neck, is hollowed out on the left and right sides, and the overall shape is like an arched bridge. It is not comfortable for living people to use at all. It was a "deity device" used exclusively for the dead in the past.
Have you ever used this kind of pillow?
If you have the chance, you can go to the museum to see the real thing. I feel that a living person would definitely get a stiff neck after using it for one night.
On the hollowed out part on the left side of this porcelain pillow, three characters were carved with a knife.
"Hi Ali."
Xiaoxuan took a sip of water and said, "I know, the white skeleton is called Ali Xi, and this pillow was used by him. There must be something else in the tank."
Douyazai applauded repeatedly: "Well said, Zhao Xuanxuan, you are getting smarter and smarter. Then can you explain why Alixi was buried in the tank and brought the pillow into the tank?"
Dou Yazai laughed and said: "I don't know? There is nothing I don't know! When I retire in the future, I will have to go to Peking University to become an archeology professor!"
I said you know? Then tell me.
Douyazai said seriously: "Look, monks in ancient times used to sit in a vat, so this must be a sleeping vat. It is convenient to bring a pillow for sleeping in the vat."
"That's good, please shut up now."
"Botou, what do you think?"
He looked at Yuye in a daze. He didn't say anything directly, but asked me how I saw it.
I thought for a while and said: "The head, so many weapons and horse equipment were unearthed, proves that its owner may be a Xixia general. Historically, it is said that the Xiwu State existed for a long time. At that time, because there were no battles to fight, the general died after his death.
All the weapons were buried underground."
After hearing this, he shook his head: "Yunfeng, you hit the point, but you didn't say it right."
He looked at Yuye and said: "At that time, there were two types of officers and soldiers in Xixia, one was the regular army, and the other was the supporting army. The Tiansheng Law of Xixia recorded that when Xixia fought with the Song Dynasty, all the people were soldiers, and a Dangxiang regular army officer
Two supporting troops, when not fighting, the supporting troops function like slaves, but once fighting occurs, they function as cannon fodder."
"These people are weak and sick, and the outside world calls them support troops. In fact, in the Xixia military camp, these people have no names. They are uniformly called "Alixi". Men are called male Alixi, and women are called female Alixi.
"In my opinion..."
The headmaster speculated: "Back then, there was a general in the Xixia army who buried his weapons and armor in a cellar, and asked his attendant Ali Xi to be buried with him. His purpose was to keep an eye on these weapons underground."
I raised another question.
"Boss, if that's the case, why not use a coffin? There's no reason to use a big vat?"
He shook his head: "It's not that it's not needed, it's that there's no place to use it. Think about it, can a coffin be placed in that place?"
I clapped my hands fiercely: "I know, that's it! The place is too small and can only hold a vat. This porcelain pillow is a burial gift given to Ali Xi by the general!"
He nodded his head and said, "That's right, Yunfeng, you always reveal the truth with just one click. This is most likely the case."
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and suddenly Xiaoxuan shouted: "Look! What's going on!"
Look outside the house.
I saw many small toads braving the rain, densely packed in large numbers, all jumping towards the cellar.
When he got there, he jumped down without hesitation.
