Chapter 12: Stinky Foot Yang (II)
Yang and I turned over the plot of land with our hands, and it didn't take much effort to dig up new soil; Then let the stinky foot Yang take his body and press up to a certain point on the new soil, and sure enough, the layer of ground loosened, and then he turned it over with his hand, and a hole about one person wide suddenly appeared in front of us. I was young and vigorous, and I was so eager to go down to the ground to touch the treasure, that I forgot that my grandfather had told me about the rules of tomb robbing. According to my grandfather Luo Sanpao, before going down to the tomb, professional tomb robbers need to drive birds such as chickens, ducks and geese close to the tomb, and then cover the tomb with a dustpan with a sieve eye, and the birds will go deep into the tomb when they are frightened, and then the tomb robbers will check the depth and oxygen content of the tomb according to the sound and echo made by the birds, so as to judge the safety of the tomb and the size of the tomb.
I was stunned, I knew that there was a treasure underground, so I didn't care about the rules of this tomb robbery, and I didn't let Stinky Feet and Xiao Man leave a person to look at the wind at the tomb robbery entrance, and I directly took a flashlight to go down to the robbery hole; Fortunately, the vertical distance is not high, I didn't fall and hurt myself, but my chest was a little stuffy, and when I relieved myself and wanted to pass on this discovery to the two people outside the cave loudly, I found that it was too late; With two muffled sounds, Stinky Foot Yang and Xu Xiaoman both fell down in response, fortunately, Stinky Foot Yang had rough skin and thick flesh, and this fall could not hurt him at all, Xu Xiaoman fell directly on him because he followed Lao Yang into the hole, so it was no big deal.
I saw that the two of them were fine, and quickly took a flashlight to take a picture of the surroundings, and several gray-brown murals suddenly appeared in front of me, I knocked on the ground with my hands, dipped some dust with my fingers, and then sniffed with my nose, I couldn't help but gasp, and scolded in my heart: "His grandmother's, what is the hostility here, this is clearly a burial chamber for the dead" Judging from the masonry base on the tomb wall of this tomb and the feeling of touching the ground base material, the place where the three of us are now should be at least a Hades Palace built in the Western Han Dynasty. The reason why it is said to be the ancient tomb of the Western Han Dynasty is because since ancient times, human beings have the custom of digging pits and shrouding corpses, after entering the class society, the tomb system began to gradually form, becoming a symbol of imperial power and the ruling class, which contains strict hierarchical division and etiquette system, the larger the tomb owner, the larger the size of the tomb, the more complex; although the specifications are different, but limited to the construction technology at that time, the tomb before the Han Dynasty is mostly made of natural wood, and the coffin used is also a wooden coffin, commonly known as the wooden coffin burial chamber, only in the early Han Dynasty did a unique brick and stone tomb appeared, and most of them are hollow brick tombs, like the stone tomb we are in now, most of them only appeared in the late Western Han Dynasty, and most of them can be enjoyed by nobles. Since I had just entered the burial chamber, my eyes were not yet fully accustomed to the darkness and could not see the situation around me more accurately.
Stinky feet Yang and Xu Xiaoman followed the light and touched the darkness and found me. Xu Xiaoman muttered: "Brother Yang, Brother Luo, let's go, it's dark here, you can't see clearly, let's go back and report to the organization, can't we also exchange fruit candy?" I took advantage of the stinky feet to speak, and looked around carefully, and I couldn't help but chuckle again, according to the specifications of the tomb where we were and the frescoes on the walls, I was sure that we should now be in a side hall of the Han Dynasty Hades. I told Stinky Feet and Man about this discovery. Stinky feet Yang Zheng is educating Xu Xiaoman to educate energetically, and when he heard me say that this is an ancient tomb of the Han Dynasty, he suddenly came to his senses, and hurriedly turned his head to me and said: "Hey, Commander Luo, how do you know that this is an ancient tomb of the Han Dynasty, I heard people say that the older this antique is, the more valuable it is, and even a spittoon jar can be worth the money of the old nose now." Xu Xiaoman also said: "My dad has a Qing Dynasty snuff bottle at home, and there was an antique dealer who offered two small yellow croakers before, but my dad didn't want to sell them!" This old object of the Han Dynasty, not to mention a spittoon jar, even the stinky socks of Stinky Foot Yang can be placed in the museum as a national treasure for the world to admire. β
I took a flashlight to take a picture of a mural on the wall, and I saw a group of people speeding from east to west in four or five carriages, and four or five cavalry-like men escorting the front. I said to Stinky Feet and Little Man: " If you look at this picture, although the picture is simple and does not seem to have any story, but you look carefully at the sleeves and collars of the clothes of those people sitting in the carriage; the style of men's clothing in the Han Dynasty is mostly divided into two kinds, one is curved and the other is straight, the neckline is very low, the cuffs are mostly trimmed, and most of them are narrow sleeves and tight clothes around the placket; and there is a person wearing a Han Dynasty crown in the painting, who is poking his head out of the carriage and looking out; the Han Dynasty crown is different from the method of wearing a crown in other dynasties; when the general crown is worn, just like we wear a hard hat, there is a belt on the chin, but the method of wearing the Han Dynasty crown is directly on the bun, and most of them are blue, vermilion, yellow, white, and blackγ Stinky foot Yang stared at the man's head for a long time, and muttered: "Hey, you said that these ancients are really fucking interesting, and they have to wear a high hat for themselves when they go out, and they look like a spittoon jar from a distance, aren't they afraid of cervical spondylosis?"
"I say stinky feet, can you please let me finish the sentence first, they don't wear high hats, they call crowns, they are a kind of status and class symbol, and look at the cavalry in front of them. In Chinese history, the Chinese cavalry was the most developed during the Han Dynasty, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty specially trained a large number of elite cavalry in order to fight against the Xiongnu and equipped them with a special weapon called the ring-head knife, and the cavalry escorting in these paintings wore this ring-head sword. Therefore, I judge that this mural belongs to the narrative mural of the Han Dynasty, and the tomb we are in should also be a Han Dynasty tomb. β
After listening to my careful analysis, Stinky Foot Yang and Xu Xiaoman both nodded as if they didn't understand. Stinky Foot Yang said with a hippie smile: "Alas, according to Commander Luo's words, aren't we black rats who fell into the white rice jar, made dried scallops from wood, and made a fortune?" I replied with a little hesitation: "Chief of Staff Yang, don't be too happy, I just found out that we made a fatal mistake, you turn around now and look at the thief hole behind you." Xu Xiaoman and Stinky Foot Yang turned around and looked behind them, only to see that the thief hole we had just entered was hanging in mid-air, at least four or five zhang away from us, and there was no concave or convex place on the four walls, and it was impossible to touch the cave wall by climbing. It would be fine if someone answered the tomb, but now that the three of us are all in the tomb, there is no way to get out at all! Xu Xiaoman is a smart person, and when he saw this situation, he immediately cried, and tears fell down. I quickly covered Xu Xiaoman's mouth with my hand to tell her not to cry, and whispered into her ear: "Don't cry in the ancient tomb, otherwise you will be ghosted!" Haven't you heard of the ghost crying coffin?"
All the old tomb robbers who have robbed tombs for many years have to follow a few rules, just like if you go to a Western restaurant, you won't order flatbread fritters and xiaolongbao, so there is a rule in the tomb robbery industry: don't cry when you get off the ground, otherwise you will be put on the body by the tomb owner, and if you don't get it right, everyone will die. In fact, from a scientific point of view, the oxygen content in the ancient tomb is not high, a person will consume a lot of oxygen when crying, and it is easy to cause a state of hypoxia in a low-oxygen environment, resulting in delirium, which is mistaken for a ghost, and the accompanying partners will also consume excessive oxygen because of fright, and finally lead to the death of the whole team due to cerebral hypoxia, so crying in the small tomb is absolutely forbidden. Xu Xiaoman was deceived by my intimidation, and sure enough, he stopped crying, held his tears, and said to me carefully in a hoarse voice: "Brother Luo, what kind of ghost crying coffin you just said, what is it? What is a ghost crying coffin?" Hey, is the one you are talking about the so-called ghost gang in Xiangxi, in the past, in order to punish those capitalists who deliberately defaulted on wages, the corpse chasers would string a bunch of people's corpses in order with chains and wooden shelves, and then pull this group of corpses in the middle of the night to pretend to be zombies around the capitalist's house and cry for wages, is that the one?" I waved my hand and said to Stinky Feet: " You are Xiangxi corpse chasing technique, don't scare Xiaoman, we can't promote feudal superstition, we must adhere to the principle of breaking the four olds, and the ghost crying coffin I said is not this, let's go to the tomb to explore first, my flashlight battery has just been changed not long ago, it should be able to support for a while, I don't know if I can find a way out, I hope we go out before the roll call tomorrow, otherwise the old secretary will deduct our work, let's still save our strength to find the way. As soon as Stinky Foot Yang heard this, he didn't ask any more questions, and pulled Xu Xiaoman with one hand to follow me to the depths of the tomb.
