There were some scattered boards on the ground, and we lit a fire.
"Is this possible?" asked Bean Sprout while eating the can.
He said, "Let's try it." Then he looked towards the other side of the river.
Brother Yu came over with a headlamp and poured water. He threw a pile of wooden boards on the ground, wiped his sweat and said, "I have searched in two places. They should be gone. These are the only ones left."
The old wooden boards were dismantled from the cave where Chen Meiqing stayed. They were basically from the late Qing Dynasty. We burned the rotten ones and kept the good ones and made gap boards with a knife.
Slime Tomb is just a joking name. Archaeological teams have discovered similar tombs before, but due to the special environment here, water entered the ground, which led to this special situation. I think it is an isolated case.
"Don't sit there and eat. Come and dig."
Dou Sprout took a sip of canned soup, stood up, clapped his hands, picked up the cyclone shovel and walked towards me.
At the original cave location, we dug a cave with a diameter of about 70 centimeters.
When people jumped in and dug to a certain depth, I shouted loudly from the bottom of the pit: "Brother Fish! Pass it to me!"
The paste-like soil under my feet was very sticky to my feet, so I made a circle of wooden boards around it and slapped it down with the back of a cyclone shovel to create a mold that could be drilled into.
Next, clean out the mud from the mold.
Since there are gaps between the wooden boards that are tightly stuck to each other, the surrounding mud can hardly get in. It can only occasionally flow in from the corners, so it is not a big problem.
The space was narrow, so I could only work alone. My trouser legs were full of mud, which was very tiring. I worked for more than an hour and switched to Bean Sprout. When Bean Sprout got tired, I switched to Fish Brother.
Xiaoxuan and Achun were not idle either. They used knives to make gaps in the wooden boards.
Soon, most of the day passed, and everyone's faces showed signs of exhaustion. Except for the two girls, who looked cleaner, everyone else was smeared into clay figures.
He said, "Everyone is very tired. They are rushing to clean the place. They all find a place to relax for a while. If they feel sleepy, they go to sleep. They haven't had much rest for several days. Once they have rested, they can continue working."
"Got it."
Lying on the ground using my bag as a pillow, I yawned, took out my phone and looked through it.
The phone still had three bars of battery, but no signal, so I flipped through the photo album.
There are photos taken at the Northwest Film and Television Base in Yinchuan, photos taken with Chickenfoot at the gate of Golden Sun, photos taken with Brother Yu under the big rocks of Xiling Lake, and photos taken with Master Zou at a jewelry exhibition.
Feeling sleepy, I watched for a while, put down my phone and fell asleep.
Maybe a few hours had passed, and I was sleeping soundly, when suddenly someone tapped me on the shoulder.
As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw Brother Yu's face. He was very close to me, our eyes facing each other.
"Shh..."
Brother Yu made a silent gesture.
"What's wrong?"
After I asked in a low voice, I turned around and looked around. Everyone was resting and sleeping.
Brother Yu said in a very small voice: "There was movement... I opened my eyes just now and it seemed like someone was walking by, walking very fast."
"Is there someone? Male or female? Not Xiaoxuan or Achun?"
"It shouldn't be her two. Come with me and have a look."
"Where are we going?" I asked in a low voice.
Brother Yu pointed to the southwest and said, "Go there and have a look. If nothing happens, it means I'm blind."
The boss is still some distance away from me. Should I call him the boss?
Brother Yu said no, let them sleep, we will take a look and be back soon.
Brother Yu led the way with a flashlight. I held the knife in my hand and touched it immediately.
What am I afraid of? I'm afraid that if we light a fire here, it will attract some animals.
When I turned the corner, Brother Yu had quick eyesight and quick hands. He immediately turned off the headlights, held my shoulders and asked me to squat down.
"Don't say anything."
"Did you see it? Is it a person?" Brother Yu said in a low voice.
After turning off the flashlight, it was very dark. I looked hard for a while and found a dark figure more than a hundred meters in front of us.
I couldn't see the man or woman clearly. This dark figure was sitting on the ground with his legs stretched out and his hands groping on his feet, as if... he was cutting his nails.
Brother Yu and I walked close to the wall and slowly leaned towards it. The black shadow didn't seem to see us.
