Chapter 592: Plague Infectious Sources
Inside this sarcophagus, except for the corpse's face that looked a little hideous, Ye Chen could see it clearly, and was even frightened by the two staring tiger eyes, the others were all burial items.
Now Ye Chen was already very surprised, ordinary people were buried in the ground after death, and it would not take ten years, they might have been eaten by those termites, and in the end only bones remained.
This is the so-called dust to dust, earth to earth, and finally melt into the land. Of course, in the archaeological community, those corpses have long been found, buried in the ground for thousands of years, and they are still incorruptible.
At this point, there are mummies in Egypt, but the appearance of the mummies looks like charcoal. Those skin that is truly incorruptible still feels elastic.
Now that Ye Chen saw this unknown corpse, it was obvious that it was still similar to the same corpse that had just been dead for a few days.
After Ye Chen finished reading it, he didn't find anything except these, he exerted his strength and pushed the stone cover back again.
This kind of dead man's money, Ye Chen would not really take it. Therefore, now that the stone cover is sealed, he is naturally afraid that the corpse inside will be melted by various influences from the outside world, and then he feels guilty.
The moment she pushed it, Liao Bingxue also glanced at it and didn't look at it again. Then, taking Liao Bingxue down from the stone she was stepping on, Ye Chen pulled her again and watched in this open space of hundreds of square meters.
The temperature inside is very low, but because it is not humid, it is not as cold as outside. The floors inside are obviously carved out by hand, and a single hole that is so big has not collapsed for thousands of years, indicating that it was really not a difficult project back then.
Ye Chen pulled Liao Bingxue to look around, still seeing those exquisite patterns on the cave wall, each one looked lifelike, as if it was alive.
Ye Chen is not an expert in this area, he is not interested in these aesthetics, he just looked at it and found that there was nothing outside, and then went into the left side of the big hole, and he saw that there were two small cave rooms inside.
It's like a suite, with a hall or a living room in the middle and separate rooms or kitchens on either side.
Now it's the same here, Ye Chen saw two small holes on the left, the entrance of the hole should only be a small cave room one meter wide and two meters high, Ye Chen took his mobile phone to irradiate it, and pulled Liao Bingxue into it, when he just entered it, Ye Chen felt a different smell inside.
The more it was added inside, the stronger the smell became, and after Liao Bingxue smelled it, she felt like vomiting.
How do you describe that smell? It can only be said that the stench of the rat has been dead for a few days, and the smell that the two of them smell now is exactly that.
The two had just entered the depths of the small hole, which made them stop in fright.
Because now when the light of the mobile phone flashlight shines past, the two of them see a row of corpses in the past. It was a row of corpses, and the corpses were also unmelted, similar to the male corpse I had seen in the sarcophagus just now.
However, inside that sarcophagus, it should be the princes and kings, and there are rows in this small hole, but in addition to the male corpses, there are also female corpses, and even the corpses of old people and children.
These corpses were all wearing clothes, and those clothes should be ancient Hanfu, Ye Chen did not really study the history of Hanfu.
So, he didn't recognize it very clearly, but he knew that it must have been thousands of years. Even, those clothes come in various colors such as black, red, yellow, etc., in addition to white.
Now Ye Chen, Liao Bingxue irradiated it with his mobile phone, but those corpses didn't open their big eyes to be scary.
However, these two people were so dark and under the cave, and when they saw these corpses, they were naturally instinctively afraid.
"Sister Bingxue, you're here, I'll take a closer look!" Ye Chen said.
Liao Bingxue was afraid, but she was even more afraid of being alone, so she took Ye Chen's arm and followed. When he came to be about two meters away from those corpses, Ye Chen smelled those unpleasant smells, which were emanating from these corpses.
Ye Chen didn't expect that when he looked closely, some of those corpses were actually different from the original position.
Suffice it to say that the bodies may have been moved.
Although Xiaowang Village has long been rumored about this before, no one has come in, and the first to come in should be the Luo Dagou brothers and those feng shui guys from outside.
From the comments of the six Luo A brothers on the nature of the two Luo Dagou brothers, Ye Chen knew that these two brothers were not good things.
When he saw it now, he guessed that the corpses, especially the female corpses, might have been touched by the two brothers.
If that was really the case, Ye Chen seemed to think that the plague infection might have been transmitted from these corpses, and to the two Luo Dagou brothers, who went out and then passed it on to their families, as well as those poultry and livestock, and even more other villagers.
In general, poultry and livestock, as well as those rats, cockroaches, birds are less resistant than people. Therefore, it should be that after the Luo Dagou brothers died of an unknown plague, the livestock, poultry, rats, cockroaches, and birds in the village also died after rapid infection.
But why did those plague virus germs, especially those with similar symptoms of influenza, typhoid fever, hemorrhagic fever, plague, sepsis, etc., spread from these corpses?
In fact, in ancient times, whether it was China or foreign countries, there had always been plagues, which was the so-called head plague, and those in foreign countries, Ye Chen didn't have to think about it, but in ancient times.
Ye Chen usually knows the records of those Chinese medicine books, and basically, they will appear at the end of each dynasty, or in the middle and late periods.
Among them, the earliest in the "LĂź's Spring and Autumn Period", "The Yellow Emperor's Neijing" have been written, and the characteristics of the plague have been recorded.
In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhang Zhongjing's life's painstaking summing up of experience, and the typhoid fever in the "Treatise on Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases" compiled by Zhang Zhongjing was the outbreak of the plague in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, and the experience gained from the treatment of those patients.
The Three Kingdoms are also stricter, and the population of the Three Kingdoms is so small, in addition to the internal struggle for hegemony and the slaughter of other grassland peoples, some of the people's lives were taken away by the plague.
and then to the Jin Dynasty, Sui Dynasty, Tang Dynasty, Song, Ming, Qing, those famous ancient Chinese medicine practitioners, all mentioned in their books. Therefore, in the face of those plagues, even if Ye Chen was inexperienced, because he knew a lot about ancient Chinese medicine books, he would not be afraid.
In these dynasties, whether it is a famous Chinese medicine doctor or other Chinese medicine doctors, the reputation of Chinese medicine may not be large, but there are records, indicating that Chinese medicine is still more concerned about these.
Now that Ye Chen saw the situation here, he thought back to the situation he had encountered in Xiaowang Village in the past twenty days, which made him feel very strange.
Even if the ancients had already appeared typhoid fever, or plague and so on. But why do so many similar symptoms occur in those infected with the plague?
Ye Chen couldn't figure this out for the time being. However, he knew that it was not easy for those viral germs to survive in a state of high temperature.
Therefore, plague virus germs are generally afraid of high temperatures and fire. However, if it is in a cold temperature, or even in this kind of underground cavern, it is still a place with little contact with the outside world.
If those viruses and germs were originally found on these non-decomposing corpses, it is even more likely that the bacteria and viruses were still in a state of 'hibernation', even for more than a thousand years, in a state of being alive.
In addition, seeing these corpses that do not appear to be decomposing is more likely to indicate that those corpses are parasitic in the corpses, so that those viral germs are still alive after thousands of years.
Compared with the ancients, modern people have strengthened and evolved much in all aspects of their physique. If it is those viruses and germs in ancient times, even if they are transmitted to modern people, generally speaking, they should not attack.
But why is Brother Luo like that?
