Chapter 41 The Wei and Jin families were buried in stone tombs
Quicksand!
This was Chu Nan's first reaction. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
But in the next moment, Chu Nan vetoed this speculation, because the quicksand swallows people quickly and has a large suction, if it is really quicksand, Shirley Yang's strength can't hold her back at all, and after she falls halfway, she stops, as if the bottom is solid. Otherwise, everyone rushed to hear the news, and there would be a delay of more than ten or twenty seconds in the middle, and it would be too late to save people from the quicksand.
But even if it's a real quicksand, what's there to fear?
Chu Nan jumped directly from the sand dune, and reached Xiao Ye in three steps and two steps, while Hu Bayi and the others had just come around from the opposite side of the sand dune.
"Don't walk around, walk in their footprints. ā
I have to say that Lao Hu is really wise and capable, but it's a pity that Chu Nan has directly dragged Xiao Ye up from the sand pit. It turned out that Chu Nan was right, he didn't exert much effort at all, so he dragged Ye Yixin out of the sand, it didn't seem to be quicksand.
"Xiao Ye, are you okay?" Hu Bayi, who rushed over, hurriedly asked.
However, Ye Yixin was already frightened and threw herself into Shirley Yang's arms and cried.
Chu Nan was upset by her crying, "Okay, don't cry! If it was really quicksand, you would have disappeared a long time ago." ā
"What are you talking about, didn't you see that Xiao Ye was already frightened?" Shirley Yang scolded angrily.
Gotta can't I hide if I can't be provoked?
As soon as Chu Nan left, Lao Hu and the others were also embarrassed that they didn't help, and they all followed Chu Nan back.
Walking on the road, Chu Nan asked, "Old Hu, can you tell if there are any tombs around here?"
Hearing the song and knowing the elegance, Lao Hu immediately reacted: "You mean?"
"Didn't the Englishman's notebook say that there were a lot of stone tombs on the road?"
Lao Hu's eyes lit up, "Let's go, let's go back and have a look." ā
Seeing Chu Nan and Lao Hu turn around, Wang Fatzi hurriedly asked, "Why are you going?"
"Dig the grave!"
ćććććć
After a long time, Lao Hu finally had a harvest - a piece of gravel.
Lao Hu threw aside the sapper shovel in his hand, and then held the stone and observed it carefully.
"This is dynamite!" Lao Hu quickly came to a conclusion.
"Dynamite?!"
"Dynamite!"
The two professors had gloomy faces, and they had prepared for the worst.
Not too much, not too thick, under a layer of yellow sand, a sloping stone wall was revealed, and a large hole had been blown out of the stone wall with explosives.
Lao Hu looked at the hole in the ballast, and was even more convinced of his guess:
"That's right, this is definitely explosive, and it's definitely a connoisseur, the blasting force of this explosion is outward, so the gravel is all on the outside, there won't be any damage inside, it's a precise small directional blast, and..."
"And what?"
"This is definitely not an ordinary explosive, it is military TNT. ā
None of the people present were ordinary people, and they all knew what military TNT was.
Facing everyone's gaze, Chu Nan's heart was furious. "Hey, what do you all think I'm doing? This is definitely the work of outsiders, who have always coveted the treasure of our country. ā
Shirley Yang snorted coldly when he heard this, didn't he point at the bald man and scold the monk?
The men gradually cleared the dune, a mallet-shaped stone wall, and except for the blasted one, the rest of the body was buried deep under the yellow sand.
The hole in the tomb was dark, and Professor Chen and Hao Aiguo hurriedly went in with flashlights to check. The burial chamber was the size of a small bungalow, and there were four or five wooden coffins scattered inside, all of which had been pried open and thrown aside, and turned into a mess everywhere.
At this time, the sharp-eyed Chu Nan saw a backpack in the corner, so he walked over to inspect it, and when he opened the backpack, he couldn't help but gasp - it was half a pocket of TNT explosives!
These things can definitely blow up the entire tomb into the sky!
Chu Nan threw the backpack in front of Lao Hu: "Lao Hu, look." ā
Lao Hu picked up a piece of wrapped TNT and took a flashlight: "Soviet goods, I played for two days when I was in the army, and these tomb robbers are likely to be Soviets." ā
"My concern is that they have other weapons. Chu Nan said.
When Lao Hu heard it, it was also the same reason. The gang that robbed this stone tomb had military explosives, maybe there were some sharp weapons, and if they encountered them, they would inevitably have to fight, and it would be really unpredictable when the time came.
"What a sin! Such a valuable ancient tomb has been ruined. Professor Chen has been sighing ever since he came down.
"Teacher, don't worry, we'll carry out a rescue excavation right away. With that, he led a few students to sort out the broken items in the tomb and see if they could salvage anything.
"Professor Chen, what kind of tomb do you think this is?"
Professor Chen observed the entire burial chamber, the huge and thick mountain stone is built into an arch, and the gaps are glued with hemp fish glue, "From the structure of the tomb, as well as the materials and craftsmanship of the coffin, it is a typical stone tomb of the Wei and Jin dynasties, and it is also a family tomb." ā
At this moment, Chu Jian suddenly pointed to a coffin in the corner and shouted, "Teacher, this is another dried corpse!"
When Professor Chen heard this, they hurriedly ran over, and the ancient corpse in the coffin was only the dried corpse of a young woman, with long hair and braids, only the head was relatively well preserved, and the body was broken.
Professor Hao was already furious when he saw the theft of the tomb, and when he saw the damaged corpse, he was even more angry: "These tomb robbers are so hateful, in order to make a fortune, they can do anything shameless!"
Lao Hu and Wang Fatzi only felt a hot pain on their faces, and they had to follow the professors to condemn those tomb robbers, so that they were simply slapping themselves, coupled with Shirley Yang's teasing gaze, Lao Hu only felt like sitting on pins and needles.
At this moment, they suddenly felt that they were lucky to meet Chu Nan.
"Professor Chen, what are they doing stealing corpses?" Hu Bayi hurriedly changed the topic.
In the ancient tombs of the Xinjiang desert, in addition to cultural relics and treasures, there are dried corpses, and this kind of dried corpses have been particularly popular overseas in recent years. ā
"This kind of dried corpse?
"Of course, there are different types, but the most famous is Egyptian mummies. Chu Nan replied casually.
"Comrade Xiao Chu is right, dried corpses are also divided into several kinds, dried corpses formed by putting desiccants such as lime or charcoal in coffins, and there are also mummies made artificially like ancient Egypt with special embalming technology.
The dried corpses in our Xinjiang are completely naturally formed in a special environment of high temperature, dryness and sterility, and this kind of dried corpses, which are a little older, are quite valuable, and some overseas museums, exhibition halls, and collectors are vying to buy them at high prices. ā
Hearing this, Chu Nan suddenly found that there was a green light in Wang Fatzi's little eyes.
This fat man, he doesn't remember to eat or fight, his face doesn't hurt anymore, does it?
Chu Nan glared at him fiercely, he restrained himself a little, and then quickly changed the topic, "It seems that this Englishman's notebook is really reliable." ā
Shirley Yang nodded, "According to the diary, after this joint burial tomb, it is really not far from the Exquisite Ancient City. ā
Hearing Shirley Yang's words, Professor Hao stopped gritting his teeth, and Professor Chen stopped gritting bitterly, and the faces of the entire archaeological team were once again smiling, as if they were already standing at the gate of the exquisite ancient city.
Ironic, right?
But this is the reality, everything has a class, it is divided into three, six, nine and so on, it is obvious that in their eyes, compared to the exquisite ancient city, this small joint burial tomb is simply insignificant!
