I didn't give up, so I took over another Luoyang shovel shaft and continued to go down to explore the hole and collect soil.
Soil was brought up shovel by shovel, and the depth was estimated to be more than five meters.
"Huh?"
Just then, I noticed that the color of the soil brought up by the last shovel had changed.
I hurriedly adjusted my headlamp and reached out to grab a handful of dirt I had brought up.
The soil layer five meters below is a little reddish, with a little bit of white mixed in it. When you twist it back and forth with your hand, it feels a little sticky.
"wrong...."
"This is living soil... There is really something damn underground. Aza didn't lie to me this time!" How can I put it this way? It was like winning a lottery ticket and suddenly I was ecstatic.
"What? Got it?" Jin Fenghuang came over and asked.
I nodded and said, "I am 70% sure. If there is an ancient tomb underground, I will continue to explore it until I determine the boundaries, shape, and size of the ancient tomb. Only by doing this can I choose the right place to excavate."
Jin Fenghuang frowned and asked how long it would take.
I said it would only take two to three hours if I was alone.
"Two or three hours? So troublesome?"
"Get started and go on your way!"
"Everyone come here."
A dozen gangsters immediately gathered over and waited for orders.
"Have you seen it?" Jin Fenghuang pointed to the exploration hole I just dug on the ground and said, "It's right here, dig it for me!"
"receive!"
A group of people immediately started digging with shovels.
More than a dozen shovels, without any rhythmic coordination, jingled against each other from time to time, making a loud noise. This was on a dairy farm, and if it had been in the city, someone would have discovered it long ago.
We dug down to a depth of more than one meter and dug a large pit about 1.5 meters in diameter. Four or five people jumped into the pit with shovels in hand and continued to throw soil up.
An hour later, the people in the pit could no longer throw any soil up. It was too deep.
At this time, a young man in charge of the command ran up and said: "No way, boss! Look how deep the brothers have dug! Not to mention the ancient tomb! There is not even a hair to be seen! There is no soil to throw up! This guy may be tricking me."
us!"
"That's it," someone complained: "There's no hair at all. We dug so deep, so we might as well just bury this guy."
My expression changed, and I quickly explained that no, the depth is not deep enough, and you don’t even have a rope ladder! How can we dig like this?
"Believe me, look down two to three meters."
Jin Fenghuang thought about it and said that if he believed in me once, if he couldn't dig the ancient tomb, he would throw me into a pit and bury me alive.
What to do when you encounter difficulties? Then someone came up with an idea.
There was an old well in the dairy farm, and there was a hand-cranked pulley on the well. They sent people to dismantle the pulley, move it over, and set it up on the robbery hole. Then they found extra buckets and used them to lift the soil.
The people at the top of the pit shook the wheel to lower the bucket. The people at the bottom of the pit dug soil and put it in the bucket. When it was full, they shook the rope. The people at the top of the pit winched up the bucket and dumped it.
There were already a lot of people, and using handy tools, the work was done very quickly.
"Stop! Stop first!" I heard someone shouting from under the cave.
"What's wrong!"
"Bricks! I dug a lot of bricks!"
Jin Fenghuang's face lit up, and he shouted with his flashlight: "Don't worry about the bricks, just break them open for me!"
The people in the pit were ordered to turn around and start smashing the shovels.
The top of the excavated bricks was in the shape of an arch bridge, and it was as thick as three stacks of bricks together. I knew at a glance that this was the top of the coupons from the past, and it must have been after the Tang Dynasty. The top of the coupons was in the shape of an arch bridge, which was from the Liao, Jin, or Song Dynasties.
most likely.
I didn't go down. According to what those people said later, there was a brick cellar in the Northern Song Dynasty under the dairy farm. It was indeed not a tomb because there was no patio. It was just a single room of less than 20 square meters. There was no coffin in the single room.
There are more than 20 large clay pots, the mouths of which are sealed with earth. Two or three pots are broken. The pots are all filled with copper coins. If they are well preserved, you can still see the hemp ropes stringing the copper coins.
