I went down to the ancient tomb first, followed closely by Dou Sprout.
It's daytime above, but the inside of the tomb is very eerie, with no sunlight coming in. People here feel as if they're staying in an air-conditioned room.
“It’s so cool!”
Dou Sprout looked left and right and said: "Fengzi, don't tell me! This is a good place to escape the heat and cool down in summer!"
I ignored Dou Sprout and looked up at the tomb wall and the top of the coupon.
This ancient tomb is more than 30 square meters in visual inspection. The main body is a blue brick vault-type structure. There are a large number of exquisite patterns carved on the surrounding blue bricks. Common sense in the industry is that once you see such patterned blue bricks, there are only two possibilities.
One is the Han Dynasty, and the other is the Northern Song Dynasty.
What's the difference?
The individual bricks of the Han Dynasty were larger and heavier, and the brick carvings and decorations were simple, usually with rope patterns, while the brick carvings and decorations of the Northern Song Dynasty were more complex, with many figures and gods carved onto the bricks.
I didn't see a coffin, I just saw a vaguely visible stone bed two meters long and two meters wide in the southwest corner. The stone bed was covered with mud, and there were many bottles and jars covered with dust lying here and there.
Most of them are buried in the mud.
Taking two steps closer, I smelled a foul smell.
I turned on the flashlight and took a photo of it on the stone bed. I was so frightened that I stood upside down with all the hair on my body!
I saw the old woman's body, but now only the upper half of her body is left!
Her head was drooped on the edge of the stone bed. There were more than a dozen green-headed flies buzzing around her face. These flies were jumping around. The old woman's eyes were closed and her mouth was slightly open. It was obvious that she had been bitten by something.
"vomit!"
I had just eaten breakfast and almost vomited it out, so I covered it with my hands.
The bean sprouts almost spit out.
He pinched his nose and cursed: "It's so damn disgusting! Flies got into her mouth!"
I said angrily: "Stop talking about it! Hurry up, carry the person out and show his head what to do."
"Why should I carry it! I won't carry it!"
Dou Yazai rolled his eyes and said, "How about... let Zhao Xuanxuan come down and carry her? She is very brave!"
"It's impossible for Xiaoxuan to do this job! You just called me mother yesterday! Are you going to deny it today? It's only natural for a son to collect the body of his mother! Hurry up!"
Dou Sprout's face changed. After my repeated urging, he put his hands on a sack and reluctantly carried the "old woman" out.
A question arises now.
The old woman was found, but Yang Jun was not found.
I searched all the corners of the ancient tomb, and I couldn't figure it out. Could it be that the human-footed badger had eaten the people? My scalp goes numb when I think of that scene.
The tombs of the Jin Dynasty are rich, the tombs of the Song Dynasty are poor, and the tombs of the Liao Dynasty are full of gold.
The pure stone chamber tombs of the Song Dynasty are okay. The owner of the tomb may have been an official during his lifetime, but the pure brick chamber tombs generally bury ordinary people. The lack of epitaphs found in the tombs confirms my point of view, because ordinary common people are not qualified to use epitaphs.
Ming.
There is no coffin, but a stone bed. This phenomenon is common in Hubei and Guangxi areas. There is an 80% probability that the couple is buried together in the tomb. I turned my head and looked at the stone bed. I seemed to be able to see a couple who were buried together eight hundred years ago.
The loving couple lie side by side on the stone bed and grab each other.
By now, it's all rotted away, not even the bones are left, only a bed of mud.
I lit a cigarette and stood by the stone bed while I waited for Dou Sprout to bring out the sacks to put the burial objects. I took a quick look and saw that there were seven or eight plum vases buried in the mud.
Don’t just think that plum vases are valuable when you hear them. Plum vases after the Yuan Dynasty are only valuable. Most of the plum vases at that time were exquisitely made display vessels. Before the Yuan Dynasty, the plum vases in the Tang and Song Dynasties were basically practical utensils for the common people.
The colors are mainly brown and black, and they are all wine bottles used for wine.
Soon, Dou Sprout came down with a pile of snakeskin bags.
The reason why the head and Brother Yu didn't come down is because the hole is relatively narrow, and Brother Yu's bust is really difficult to drill down. I guess he will get stuck halfway through.
The bean sprout boy doesn't care about anything, even mud and dirt, he just stuffs whatever he catches into the sack.
"Damn it, Fengzi, look! There's still an incisor stuck on this bottle!" After saying this, Bean Sprouts started to get rid of it.
"do not move!"
"Are we here?"
I pointed at the plum vase and said, "Don't move this tooth. Protect it! Just keep it on top! Without these front teeth, this vase is only worth 5,000 yuan. With this tooth, it is worth at least 50,000 yuan!"
"Real or fake! Who buys it? He must be sick!"
"You don't understand, this is a trace of history! This is what rich bosses like!"
"Really? Fengzi, how about we search carefully, and if we find other teeth, we can just install them!"
"That won't work! If it's too much, it won't be worth it!" I rejected Dou Sprout's suggestion.
Later, our "front tooth bottle" changed hands several times, and the price soared to 600,000! It was finally sold to the Jining area. Starting from the year when this tooth bottle was unearthed, the trend in the industry changed, and people gradually began to pursue the so-called
"Original flavor, original state" means that most things with soil are more expensive than those without soil.
This trend has continued from that time to the present. Nowadays, people from the north generally do not clean and finalize funerary objects, so that they can be sold at high prices. However, there are also disadvantages to this. Even fools know that bronzes with soil have dirty origins.
Therefore, many people have entered, and the benefits and risks coexist. This is true.
Because it is easy to be targeted by haters, everyone in the Northern School today is very careful. After backfilling the stolen holes, they also sprinkle a layer of grass seeds on top. No photos will be taken on site, and no buyers will be allowed when shipping.
Anyone who dares to take photos at home is breaking our rules. We will not cooperate with such buyers.
I mean, weren’t there a few Guangxi tomb robbers who were caught wearing dragon robes stolen from tombs and hair nets like fools a few days ago? Those people are not from the northern sect, and they are not from the southern sect.
He is a pure-bred wild man who disgraces his peers.
After taking the things, we backfilled the hole, but Yang Jun's mummy was not found. We couldn't figure it out. Maybe it was eaten clean by badgers with human feet.
Then, with their heads behind their hands, Douyazai and Xiaoxuan carried two sacks of funerary objects. Brother Yu and I carried the human-legged badger back to the camp one after another, just like we carried pigs during the New Year.
noon.
"Boss, are you really going to cook this thing!?"
He smiled and said: "Yunfeng, there is no need to make a fuss. This thing is rare in decades. It is fate that we can meet it. Not to mention immortality, at least it can prolong life."
"It's not the head! Then have you ever thought about it! This thing may have eaten people!"
"That's right! I definitely won't eat it anyway!" Dou Sprout said loudly.
He said with a dark face: "According to your point of view, dogs eat shit, right? There are so many people in the world who love to eat dog meat, but that doesn't mean they eat shit."
"Besides," the head smiled and said, "I didn't say I forced you to eat meat, but we have to keep two bottles of this thing's blood so that we can definitely use it in the future."
When I heard that there was no need to eat the meat of badgers with human feet, I was relieved.
Hanging the human-footed badger upside down on a tree, Xiaoxuan then began to skin the human-footed badger and bleed it.
Somehow, Xiaoxuan was a bit perverted. She took a knife and cut off the badger's human foot. It was bloody in her hands. Xiaoxuan also smiled and said to me and Douyazai: "Hey! Do you two want to try it?
Look, it might be a big supplement."
Douyazai doesn't know, but I feel my crotch is cool.
Over here, Xiaoxuan is collecting the blood of a human-footed badger with a mineral water bottle in her hand, and over there, Dou Sprout and I are having a secret discussion.
Douyazai whispered: "Fengzi, don't you think the boss is a bit perverted?"
I whispered: "He is getting older and wants to take some weird supplements and health products to live for two more years. This is a common problem at his age. You can't blame him."
Douyazai whispered to me with a lewd smile: "Not necessarily. If the legend is true, then this thing may be a great tonic for men. Do you still remember the old lady from Han State? She is getting old.
Maybe he wanted to be like Lao Ji and have a son to carry on the family line, but his head sperm has become inoperable and has lost all vitality. I think he wants to eat badgers with human feet just to make up for this deficiency."
I smiled and said, "You can just talk about this in private. If the boss hears it, we will be dead."
"how?"
Dou Sprout's face turned pale and his mouth was closed tightly.
I slowly turned my head and looked behind me.
All I could see was that his head was covered with frost.
I don't know when he stood quietly behind me and Dou Sprouts.
