Elm is the wood of five yin, sex likes yin, long life, can gather yin, create yin, generally not planted in the yang house, the folk have the old elm into the essence of the saying, that is, the elm tree with a long and strange shape is a soul.

In the countryside, if anyone wants to build a house in a place where there are elm trees, they must burn paper before cutting down the elm trees and ask the elm fairy to forgive, and if they encounter a strange old elm, they will also ask the fairy to cast a spell.

Although there is little basis for this practice, it is practiced in many villages north of the Yellow River.

The coffin unearthed from the Qing tomb, Luo Yan had a careful observation, and she could determine that it was elm, and it was a hundred-year-old elm, because each panel was a whole piece of elm, without any traces of splicing.

She remembers that there is such a record in ancient books, thirteen boards are used to make a coffin, three on both sides and at the bottom, and four covers are covered, and the head and feet are not counted, because in the beginning, people were buried only with a cold mat rolled up, which means that the head leads to the sky and the feet are to the ground.

Although this tomb is not big, it is full of strangeness, Luo Yan looked at the sun hanging overhead, the sun flashed and she was a little dizzy, although the weather was very hot, but she could always feel the cold.

"Yezi, do you feel cold?"

Wang Chu took the straw hat and kept fanning himself, "I said Emperor Yan, are you okay?" On such a hot day, you actually asked me if it was cold, my sister was about to burn! ”

Luo Yan looked at the other classmates, everyone was either wiping sweat or fanning the wind, none of them seemed to be cold, seeing Wang Chu looking at herself, she said, "I'll just ask casually, let's get to work." ”

With that, she began to dig with her hands again, but it still felt a little cold.

After a while, a graduate student from the side of the detective shouted, "Come here and help me take a look, it seems to be empty below, I don't know if the judgment is wrong." ”

Luo Yan was relatively close to him, and took the lead in climbing over the partition beam, and then the other students from the exploration side also rushed over, and Professor Song, who heard the movement, also began to walk this way.

After Professor Song came over, the students gave up their important positions to Professor Song, and Professor Song tapped on the ground with his fingers, and scraped a little dirt with his hand shovel and put it in his mouth, and then he frowned.

This is not cooked soil, it is unlikely that there is a burial chamber below, if it is not a burial chamber, then the biggest possibility is a robbery cave, he asked the students to leave this exploration party, and after making a phone call to Professor Wu and Professor Wang, he began to dig alone.

The departing students did not go far, but stood aside and watched.

Time passed, the sun shifted from the top of people's heads to the westernmost side, and slowly the sky darkened, Professor Song put on his headlamp, he saw that the students had not gone back, and said that everyone should go back to the village branch first, and he would be busy for a while.

Students, you look at me, I look at you, no one wants to go back, the class leader in the graduate student said, "Teacher, do you think we can help you?" It's okay to go back anyway. ”

Professor Song was really a little busy alone, he named three students, all of whom were graduate students, including this class leader, as well as Li Yan and the girl who suffered from heat stroke a few days ago.

"A few of you stay, and the rest go back first."

The village is on the opposite side of the road, just a mile away from the cemetery, Luo Yan and Wang Chu did not choose to take the car, but walked back, the evening in the countryside has a special flavor, and the farmers returning home can be seen everywhere on the road.

Wang Chu casually folded a wicker stick on the tree, and then whipped the weeds on the side of the road, and the baby-faced man made such an action, which was an indescribable disobedience.

Luo Yan smiled faintly, "If you are in the city, you are destroying trees, in the village, at most, you look wild, speaking of which, it is still the casualness of life in the village." ”

Wang Chu looked at Luo Yan with a look of surprise, "Why are you still emotional?" Not quite like your style. ”

Luo Yan turned sideways and looked at Wang Chu, "Then what do you think my style should be?" ”

What kind? Wang Chu thought about it carefully, and it was hard to guess the emperor of her family banquet, "What style, I really can't say, anyway, it's definitely not like it is now, anyway, you have been quite weird today, is there something wrong?" ”

As soon as Luo Yan wanted to say her guess, the mobile phone rang, and when she saw that it was her eldest brother, she quickly picked it up, "Brother, have you eaten?" I'll be back in a few days. ”

The eldest brother of the Luo family said in a hurry, "That tomb is not something you can dig, come back quickly!" ”

Luo Yan paused, "Brother, have you heard of anything?" ”

"If you want to come back, come back quickly! I'll send a driver to pick you up! ”

Luo Yan suddenly thought of something, "Brother, I'll tell you later!" ”

After hanging up the phone, Luo Yan pulled Wang Chu and started to run back, Wang Chu was a little confused, "I said Emperor Yan, are you okay?" Let's go grab a bite to eat and then go to the cemetery to give the professor a hand, okay? ”

Luo Yan ran very quickly, and his words were a little uneven, "That probe can't be dug up, Professor Song, I'm afraid they will be in danger!" ”

"What?" In order to hear more clearly, Wang Chu stopped.

"There's a thief hole under that probe!"

"What's wrong with the cave?" Haven't they all been in the thief hole, and nothing has happened.

Luo Yan didn't have time to explain to her, so he pulled the people and continued to run forward, and when the two arrived, the cemetery was still the same as when they left, but when the two arrived at the probe where Professor Song was digging, they didn't find anyone, and what appeared in front of the two was a vertical hole.

The two shouted a few times into the cave, but no one inside answered.

Luo Yan called an armed policeman who was patrolling around the cemetery and asked, "Have you seen where the professor and the three students went?" ”

The armed police have always stayed outside the cordon, and the cordon is more than ten meters away from the outermost detectives, and it is night, and the armed police really don't know where the professors have gone, but they can be sure that a few people are not out of the cordon.

If a few people don't get out of the cordon, then the biggest possibility is that they have entered the thief hole.

Wang Chu asked, "Do you want to go in and find someone?" It didn't take long, and they shouldn't have gone far. ”

Luo Yan shook his head, "We can't rush in, if according to Professor Wang and Professor Song's inference, the tomb is built on the robbery hole, this robbery hole is very likely to lead to the tomb, and those experienced tomb robbers can't come out alive, do you think we can?" ”

"So what to do? You can't watch them die inside! "Wang Chu is not a person who can calm down, and he is already in a hurry at this time.

Without waiting for Luo Yan to reply, a person came out of the tent not far away, there were two tents at the construction site, both of which were not for people to rest, but used as temporary toilets, and a pit was dug in one of them.
