Chapter 561: Prey
The entire mirage lasted for almost half an hour, as if recreating the footage of the construction of the tomb at that time.
As the half hour passed, the image of the sky began to fade slowly, and finally returned to the original blue clear day, and the color in the sky was very heavy, very thick like cobalt blue pigment that could not be dissolved.
Qu Guowei looked at the sky and muttered: "I'm afraid that there will be heavy snow in the near future!"
Canghai nodded and said, "It's only these two days, this snow is not small!"
Although it looks like the sky is blue now, but with such a performance, a heavy snow will come in two days at most, and past experience tells that Canghai will not stop until it is a foot deep.
Zhang Gong thought about it for a while, and said very regretfully: "Alas, I have long heard that the winter swimming of your four families is comfortable, and it seems that this year's first crop will not be able to catch up!"
Canghai listened and looked at Zhang Gong: "The things here are not done in one day, if you really want to go winter swimming, then smoke for two days."
Zhang Gong stretched out his hand and pointed back: "These things have to be transported away, first transported to the capital to repair it, we have to think carefully about who this big tomb is, the name and identity of the tomb owner has not been officially determined."
"Didn't you figure it out? Our ancestors, why can't we be sure?" asked Cang Hai.
Zhang Gong said: "It's true that your ancestor is true, but what is his name, where is the fief, look at this frame must be the monarch, now the question comes, what is the name of the country that was founded in this place in that era, how many generations of monarchs, are unknown, to be honest, until now the information we have in hand is still like a blank sheet of paper, and the information about the tomb owner is pitiful, so let's put it this way, the information we have at hand has not accurately recorded that there is a feudal country here!"
"I thought you knew everything, you could build such a big tomb, requisition so many people, with the conditions at that time, this country is not small, how can there be no news left in history, isn't it scientific?"
"So, the most important information in our hands now is the mud wall in the tomb with dozens of characters written on it, and some pottery with words that have been packed......" Zhang Gong said as he and Canghai returned to the cafeteria.
Canghai didn't understand it, and he didn't want to figure it out, anyway, he understood it, what was written on this mud wall or a few stone squats, and they didn't know, as for what that word was, they were also in the dark of what they were engaged in archaeology.
Canghai blackened Zhang Gong, the old man, in fact, what Canghai didn't know was that before the unification of Qin, the words used in many places on the land of China were different, each with its own way of writing, three miles with different sounds, ten miles with different customs, and even the words were like this, which brought great inconvenience to the communication of people on the land of China.
From this point of view, it will be found that the great exploits of the First Emperor, the unification of the written language, and the development of many versions like in Europe, made the great rule of China after the chaos, and the unification after the division.
After eating, Canghai prepared to say goodbye and return to the village. For Canghai, it's really not interesting here, the main reason is that the food is too hard to swallow, Canghai, who has been raised by himself, really can't stand the level of the canteen here, not even a small restaurant on the side of the road, let alone stay for a few more days, Canghai doesn't want to stay here for a day.
Qu Guowei frowned slightly when he heard this, and asked, "You won't stay for two more days?"
Canghai replied: "I've seen everything I should see, I'm not interested here, and the things in the tomb have nothing to do with me, I feel sad to see a cart of things being transported away!
Hearing Canghai say this, Qu Guowei and Zhang Gong couldn't help laughing, both of them knew that Canghai was joking.
Zhang Gong then stretched out his hand and tapped Canghai: "You, you!"
"I won't say goodbye to Old Man Xu, he's a little crazy now, Uncle Qu, you take care of it more, don't be so day and night when you're so old, that thing can't run, you still have to pay more attention to your body."
Qu Guowei said with a smile: "I still want you to talk about this! By the way, we will go back in a while, and if you can't catch a ride, your kid still has to come to pick us up."
"No problem!"
Canghai readily agreed.
went to the barn and pulled out the ugly donkey, put on the cart, and Canghai walked back.
There's nothing to say on the road, anyway, I'm driving the ugly donkey all the way back, and there are no outsiders, so I don't need to look for a tent or anything like that.
In a hurry, they finally rushed back to the village before the snow fell.
As soon as he woke up and pushed open the door, Canghai saw that the vast snow had dyed the entire Sijiaping Village a pure white, and the snow on the ground had reached his feet and necks, and he squeaked when he stepped on it.
Picked up the broom Canghai began to sweep the snow, and after a while, I saw that the three uncles and three aunts also got up, so everyone worked together to sweep out a road connecting each family, as for the rest, it doesn't matter, anyway, the snow can't stop for a while, and after sweeping, you have to sweep it again when the snow stops.
After the snow was cleared, Canghai took the basket and went to the greenhouse to pick vegetables, cooked a pot of green vegetable porridge, accompanied by salted duck eggs, and the small pickles and Mengmeng brothers and sisters each ate a big bowl.
After breakfast, Meng Meng put on her schoolbag and went to school, while Canghai passed the time by writing and painting in the study.
At about ten o'clock, Canghai heard someone calling him outside.
So I pushed the door open and walked out.
Li Wan and Li Qun were holding their hands outside, stomping their feet from time to time, and immediately laughed when they saw Canghai coming out.
"Second brother, let's go, go hunting?" Li Wan said to Canghai.
"Hunting, what to take?" Canghai was curious.
At this time, Li Wan took out a folding bow from his back, this bow was not made by himself, he knew that he bought it at a glance, the metal bow body was black, and there were two small wheels at both ends of the bow.
"What can this thing fight, rabbit or pheasant, just grab these two things and go directly to the cage, why use a bow, shoot down with an arrow, it's not easy to peel off" Canghai said.
Li Wan said: "I just bought the bow, how can I do it if I don't try it!"
"Yo, this is really a fortune, even this thing is willing to buy it, tell me how much money you got it?"
As he spoke, Canghai walked over to Li Wan's brothers, took the bow from Li Wan's hand and tried it.
The bow came to the hand of Canghai then felt that this bow was very good, the weight was not light and the workmanship was quite fine, opened the bow body and hung the bowstring, Canghai tried it and found that the power of the bow is not small, although there is a training wheel, an adult also needs a little strength to pull it open.
"Play!" Li Wan said with a smile.
Li Qun also has a bow in his hand now, but it is not a bow with wheels, the bow in Li Qun's hand is like a primitive bow, and there is nothing other than the bow body and bowstring.
It is also folded, as long as a long arm, Canghai tried it after unfolding it, and felt that the strength of this bow was three points greater than that of Shang Li Wan.
Return the bow to Li Qun.
"Does your daughter-in-law know how much money you spend?"
Li Qun whispered: "I didn't tell her the exact price, I just said my five hundred, my brother's six hundred!"
"How much is the serious eight-year-old?" Canghai asked with a smile.
Li Wan also whispered: "My seven thousand, brother's seven thousand five."
Canghai listened to the music: "You guys are completely buying a useless thing."
"Second brother, are you going or not? Let's go together, so it's appropriate for you to follow us to try the bow," Li Qun said.
Canghai waved his hand: "Go ahead, I'll go back to the house to practice calligraphy."
There are guns in the Canghai space, and there is really no interest in the bow and arrow, and what does Canghai want to eat with the bow? Let that thing be delivered to the door by itself, which invisibly reduces Canghai's interest in hunting, there is no joy of meeting the prey, and there is no happiness of pulling the trigger, so hunting is meaningless for Canghai.
"Then we'll go by ourselves, and when we come back, we'll give you some meat," Li Qun said.
Seeing that Canghai really didn't want to go, the brothers didn't force it, and said a few more words to Canghai, and the brothers went to the livestock shed to prepare the horses.
Canghai returned to the house and continued to practice his own handwriting, wrote one calmly, felt that it was not bad, so he put it away, made himself a pot of tea, and sat in front of the window, drinking hot tea while admiring the snow outside.
At noon, Canghai was alone again, and after dealing with it casually, Canghai was going to take a look in the greenhouse, to see if there was snow to be shoveled on the roof of the greenhouse, and to see how his own vegetables were growing, and at the same time to see if he needed to add some ingredients to everyone.
With his hands all the way to the greenhouse, I found that many people have arrived, and now they are busy shoveling snow on the roof of the greenhouse, although the design of the greenhouse takes into account the situation of heavy snow, but there will still be snow in some places, although it will not collapse the greenhouse, but it will affect the lighting of the greenhouse in the daytime, so the diligent people will remove the snow.
Of course, it's okay if you don't remove it, and no one will say anything when the snow stops. However, the villagers are all hard-working, and they can't hold on to some work in their hands.
Canghai greeted them one by one, Lai'an is also busy working now, the changes after this kid is injured are really not small, as if he has changed people.
I went into my own greenhouse and looked at it, and I didn't know if it was psychological reasons or what, I always felt that this dish was a little wilted and had no energy, so I got a scoop of space water and poured it into the sprinkler box in the shed.
Out of their own greenhouse and into other greenhouses, each family got a little bit, the amount of water is slightly less than their own, tossed a circle with some fresh vegetables, and then returned home.
Before he got home, the voices of Li Qun and Li Wan's brothers came from outside the door.
"Second brother, second brother Hai!"
As soon as Canghai heard about the house, he was taken aback, because there was a sheep in front of the brothers, and this sheep was not a sheep raised in the village, but a yellow sheep in the prime of life.
"Why did you get it back," Canghai said.
Li Qun opened his mouth and said: "What is the meaning of beating, it fell to its own death and was carried back by us."
Canghai smiled and shook his head, knowing in his heart that these two boys were making excuses, there are not many of these things in the vicinity, and now there are more of them in Sixiang Valley, and the yellow sheep is now a national protected animal, and it is illegal to eat and hunt.
Of course, the villagers here in Sijiaping are strict-mouthed, no one will denounce them, and they don't eat often, sometimes they want to eat some game and eat a half, and the impact on the ecology is so small that it can be ignored.
"Second brother, can you peel it off?" Li Wan said.
Canghai could say anything, so he nodded and responded to the matter, so he and his brothers hung the yellow sheep under the tree on the western slope, and then Canghai took a knife and began to peel the yellow sheep.
Then he stripped the sheep's head, and the phone in his pocket rang.
Canghai saw that it was Shi Wei calling, so he clipped the phone to his shoulder, and the sheep peeling and phone call were carried out at the same time.
"Come and pick us up," Shi Wei said.
"Pick you up, didn't you say it would take two more days?" Canghai was a little puzzled.
Shi Wei said: "You just come and pick us up."
"That's fine!"
Li Wan and Li Qun were next to them, and as soon as they heard that Canghai was going to pick up people in the county, they immediately said: "Sister-in-law, I'll pick you up, my brother is peeling sheep here."
"Who?"
"Li Wan, I hunted a yellow sheep, and I just started skinning," Canghai explained.
"Okay, if you are busy and ask Li Wan to come and pick us up, remember to be careful when driving in the snow," Shi Wei said.
"What are you busy with, I'll go later, let's find Grandpa Li San for the skinning thing," Canghai said with a smile.
Li Wan said with a bitter face: "My father is not at home, what am I looking for you to do at home."
"Then I'll pick up your sister-in-law and come back and peel it again, I haven't had a little heart after being married for so long, I'll let you pick it up."
Canghai wiped his hands as he spoke.
