Chapter 106: There Is Really a Tomb
"What is anti-Qing and restored. This Wu Sangui is a capricious villain. Uncle Nan interjected, "Those who have read history know it. Wu Sangui was the first Liaodong general soldier of the Ming Dynasty and an important minister of the country, but when the Ming Dynasty building was about to collapse, he betrayed the Ming Dynasty when he was most needed to stand up and serve the country. Surrendered to Li Zicheng's Dashun regime, but within a few days, he was angry again, angry and red-faced, betrayed Li Zicheng, surrendered to the original enemy Manchu Qing, and led the Qing army into the Central Plains, and after serving the Qing Dynasty for more than 30 years, the king of Pingxi, who dominated one side, raised the banner of opposing the Qing Dynasty and rebelling again. ”
"Even so, he is also a generation of heroes, such a person, poor and destitute when he dies, do you believe it?" Nanli still insisted on the idea that there was a treasure.
"Oh, if there is a treasure, let's dig it, won't we know?" Sun Wei said.
We looked at him in amazement.
Sun Wei looked loveless, "Did I say the wrong thing again?"
"No, you're right, how do you know if you don't try?" Nanli unexpectedly did not ridicule Sun Wei, but agreed.
We were even more stunned, and Zhu Chen reminded: "This is a stone tablet, not a tomb, will there be burial goods?"
"If you like to dig or not, don't get in my way. Nanli said angrily.
We were a little speechless for a while.
I cleared my throat and said, "Dig and dig, anyway, there is no other good place to go now, so I should dig a pit and plant trees." ”
Nanli looked at me strangely, I smiled awkwardly, to be honest, I really can't think of a good reason.
"That's it, let's take action! What if this stone monument is a tombstone!" Sun Wei rolled up his sleeves and looked like he was ready to start work.
We felt a hint of coolness, "What if this stele is really a tombstone?" Jin Feng asked in a low voice.
"There won't be any zombies or anything like that, right? I watched the movie, the zombies were all wearing Qing Dynasty clothes..."Lin Feifei, who has always been bold, actually retreated.
"Are there any zombies in the second place, I'm wondering, how do we dig it?" Song Jun asked a constructive question.
Nanli smiled, "Uncle Nan, where are your trekking poles?"
We were stunned, "No, are you going to take a stick and dig a pit?" Sun Wei questioned, and we were not confused.
"Do you really want to try?" asked Uncle Nan solemnly.
Nanli nodded firmly.
I'm even more convinced that Nanli must have some secret hidden from us.
Uncle Nan skillfully operated the humble trekking poles in his hands. This trekking pole is transformed in front of us like a Transformer.
"Uncle Nan, what is this?" Sun Wei couldn't help but ask.
"Luoyang shovel. Uncle Nan replied, continuing to manipulate in his hands.
"Isn't this thing used by tomb robbers when they explore tombs?Uncle Nan, you can't be?!" I was shocked, I just guessed that the object in my hand was similar to the Luoyang shovel, but I didn't expect it to be admitted by Uncle Nan himself.
"What, Uncle Nan, I used to work in the archaeological team. Not a tomb robber. Nanli watched everyone staring at Uncle Nan with strange eyes, and hurriedly explained.
"This Luoyang shovel is a concave probe shovel. In the middle of the Ming Dynasty, it was indeed widely used in tomb robbing. However, after the liberation, the cultural relics and archaeology department improved the Luoyang shovel to conduct general survey drilling on whether there are cultural relics underground, which contributed to the archaeological work of cultural relics, and this thing has been slowly transformed into an archaeological tool. Uncle Nan explained.
"Damn, it scared the hell out of us. Sun Wei said with his heart covered.
"If it's really a tomb robber, we'll bury you first, and save you from speaking. Nanli scolded angrily, completely forgetting Sun Wei's proposal to dig a pit just now.
"Then I'll start!" Uncle Nan casually found a place to stand and shouted loudly.
We scattered in unison.
I saw Uncle Nan standing up straight, his legs spread apart, holding the pole with both hands, placing it on his chest, landing on the shovel head, between his two toes, and probing down vertically. Open to the end, constantly rotate the shovel head, alternately hitting down on all four sides, keeping the hole cylindrical.
"I'll go, what kind of treasure is this!" Brother Guang was a little surprised.
Uncle Nan sighed and explained while exerting his strength: "Because the Luoyang shovel is used for digging caverns and collecting and prospecting soil, the shovel body is not flat but semi-cylindrical, similar to a tile cylinder. The common Luoyang shovel shovel clamp is only 2 inches wide, wide into a U-shaped semicircle, although the upper part of the shovel is equipped with a long-handled Luoyang shovel, although it seems to be semicircular, in fact, the shape is not round or flat, the most important thing is to create the arc when forming. With a length of 20 to 40 centimeters and a diameter of 5 to 20 centimeters, it can be driven into the ground for more than 10 meters after being equipped with a tough wooden pole, and the soil structure, color and inclusions brought out by the shovel head can be judged by the quality of the excavation and whether there is an ancient tomb underground. There are more than 20 production processes of Luoyang shovel, the most important thing is to create an arc when forming, you need to beat carefully, a little careless, the shovel can not be brought to the soil. Not only that, Luoyang shovel is more complex in the production process, usually the manufacture of a small shovel needs to go through nearly 20 processes such as billet making, calcination, heat treatment, forming, sharpening, etc., so it can only be made by hand. ”
"You're an improved one, aren't you?" I asked.
Uncle Nan looked at me, "Yes, with the development of the times, the general Luoyang shovel has been eliminated, and the new shovel is transformed on the basis of the Luoyang shovel, which is divided into heavy shovel and lifting shovel, also called mud shovel." Because the wooden pole attached to the back of the Luoyang shovel shovel head is too long, the target is too large. Therefore, it is discarded and rebarbed is used instead, half a meter up and down, which can be sleeved layer by layer and extended at will. Usually, when you look at the terrain, you take it apart. I turned him into a cane. ”
Uncle Nan pulled out the Luoyang shovel hard, and cut off the soil from the blade backshovel, and broke it longitudinally to see the section.
"Nanli!" Uncle Nan suddenly shouted.
"What did you find?" Nanli was excited.
"Big flowery soil. This..."Uncle Nan was very surprised.
"Is that what you mean?" I asked quickly.
Uncle Nan nodded, and my mouth grew in surprise.
"Niu Ben, what do you mean, tell us. Lin Feifei asked puzzled.
"This five-flower soil is an archaeological term, which refers to the excavation of soil pit tombs, the layers of cooked soil and raw soil of different colors in the pit will be dug out, and after burial, these mixed soil will be backfilled into the pit. In general, the five-flower clay is a clue to the discovery of tombs. After excavation and backfilling, the natural soil is stirred twice, disrupting the original level and appearance, and becoming a flower soil that combines a variety of soil layers, even if the flower soil is old, it cannot be combined. I explained.
"That said, this is really a tombstone!" Jin Feng asked weakly, and hurriedly snuggled up to Brother Guang.
