Chapter 194: Mass Grave

Uncle Lu and Dazhe were in a very depressed mood when they came back, and we didn't know how to comfort them, after all, there was no way to say whose problem it was for this strange thing.

"The people from the Academy of Sciences said that they analyzed the liquid in the car and came to the conclusion that ...," Uncle Lu said.

"Yes?" I asked.

"It's water, water without any impurities, very pure." Uncle Lu said.

"Water?! Pure water! Is it possible to understand that this substance can condense into ice like water and freeze the corpse, but this substance melts faster at low temperatures, and after melting, it will turn into water, so this situation occurs? Yun Ximing said.

"Can you find out what that substance is?" I asked, "Because this substance has a certain antiseptic effect on the corpse, the corpse immediately decomposes very badly when it leaves that substance." ”

"In our current field of science and technology, there is no relevant information, so it means that none of the substances in our current records meet this characteristic. That is, there is no such substance. Uncle Lu said.

"Existence is reasonable, so there is nothing to explore, things are already like this, let's take care of the present, we have discovered something new." I say.

"What's new?" Dazhe was immediately interested, he had been depressed just now, and as soon as he heard that there was a new discovery, he immediately became interested.

"Come with us." As I spoke, I took Dazhe and Uncle Lu to the excavation site we had dug before.

"Isn't this still the pit? Why did you dig so deep, and what did you find? Dazhe said.

"That's right. Two more skeletons were found underneath. Yun Ximing said.

"I want to say... There are more than two..."Sister Wang Na climbed up panting, she, Yun Ning and Yuan Ru have not been idle, although the progress is slow, there is still a lot of progress.

"You've found it again, and this time it's a little... Minister Yuan Ru has now asked his superiors to send someone to come to help, and the amount of work may be quite huge. Sister Wang Na said.

"Huge? What did you find? I asked.

"It's just... You'd better see for yourselves. Sister Wang Na said.

We went down to the bottom of the pit and saw that the bottom of the pit had now dropped some height, and many bones were exposed, all of which were different in different parts, including hand bones. Skull. There are also leg bones, judging from the bones, they were all buried at the same time, or buried alive. Because there are not many parts of the bones unearthed. So the exact number is not yet known.

"On this scale. It's not something we can solve. I have applied to the central government to send more manpower to help us carry out the excavation work. Yuan Ru said.

"It's... Mass graves..."Yun Ximing whispered.

"10,000 people?! Brother Childe, do you mean that 10,000 people have been buried in the past few years?! Dazhe exclaimed in fright.

"It's not a whole 10,000 people, the mass grave is just a concept." Yun Ximing began to give us popular science and archaeological knowledge again. "A mass grave is a grave where more than one person is buried, and it is used when a large group of people die and want to bury the body as quickly as possible, in times of God, epidemics, genocide and war. Mass graves are set up for different purposes, and are used to stop the spread of epidemics during natural disasters; In the case of genocide, it is used as a cover for war crimes. ”

"In other words, bullying people." Dazhe said.

"The bullying is really too simple, mass graves are used to cover up crimes, Japan launched a war of aggression against China, and I don't know how many mass graves have been left on our land." Yun Ximing said.

"It's Little Japan again!" Dazhe said angrily.

"Mass graves, a term exclusive to Japanese fascists. The vast majority of the people buried in the mass graves are innocent Chinese people who were slaughtered by the Japanese invaders, or abused and tortured to death by Japanese mine owners and owners. In terms of burial methods, some are buried, or buried side by side or stacked together; Others are left unburied and thrown into the wilderness. The "10,000 people" mentioned in the mass grave are not exactly the exact number, maybe thousands, maybe tens of thousands, and at least hundreds. According to the causes of formation, it can be divided into three types: innocent slaughter, torture and killing in the process of building large-scale projects, and cruel abuse in the process of plundering mineral resources. This time it was Uncle Lu who spoke, but I didn't expect Uncle Lu to also have research in this area, "When we studied the history of aggression before, we emphasized this aspect. Uncle Lu explained.

"It's a good thing that we weren't born in an era when we were slaughtered." Sister Wang Na said with emotion. "I don't know how many of our compatriots were buried in these mass graves."

"In China, mass graves can be found almost everywhere the footprints of the Japanese invasion passed. According to the reliable research of Professor Li Binggang of the Liaoning Academy of Social Sciences, 35 mass graves have been found in Liaoning Province alone, and the death toll is at least 586,000. In the mass grave of Taiji Nanshan in Beipiao, Liaoning Province, 6,500 bones were cleared out on the hillside alone, and in some places there were as many as seven layers of piled up. This figure does not include massacres on the scale of hundreds of people. As of last year, more than 80 mass graves had been discovered across the country, and more than 700,000 compatriots had died. It is certain that there are still some mass graves that have not been discovered and excavated. And a considerable number of tragic deaths were burned by the invaders in the furnace of man-remelting. Yun Ximing said.

"Oh my God, so many?" Dazhe said.

"This is only what has been discovered, those more remote, undiscovered mass graves must still exist, but it is impossible to verify how many are still there, even if the Japanese officers are still alive, it is impossible to remember the specific number." Yun Ximing said.

"I said, guys, can you get to the point a little bit, this mass grave must not have been done by the Japanese, right?" Min Lan asked

"Of course not, this should be a mass grave that existed in the Qing Dynasty, but the specific situation is unknown." Yun Ximing said.

"There are already people from the center, let's go over and hand it over, and then they will continue to excavate, this thing is not something that the nine of us can handle." Min Lan said.

We rushed to hand over to the leaders of the central part who had just arrived, and among the people who came, we saw Professor Nan.

"Professor Nan, are you here too?" I say.

"I heard that you have found a new mass grave, and I will come over to take a look, after all, this was the project I was responsible for excavating, and I am also responsible, but I can't feel at ease." Professor Nan leaned over and whispered, "I haven't worked for a long time, and I always feel itchy hands." ”

I smiled, tacitly knowing that archaeologists have a curiosity about history in their bones, and if they don't work for a long time, they must be uncomfortable.

The handover was very simple, the nine of us went to the nearby guest house for a while, and several of us were exhausted, lying in their respective rooms, not moving, and relying on mobile phones to speak. Dazhe slept for two days in one go, although he was full of enthusiasm, but everyone still had little physical strength and experience. Two days later, we returned to the discovery base and saw that the excavation base had changed dramatically.

The pit before the excavation base has expanded a large part of the area to the surrounding area, and the bones are constantly being excavated, and the excavated bones are cleaned and pieced together, and when these people are buried alive, they must have struggled, because many people are entangled in twos and threes, and the recovery and repair process of the corpses is carried out very slowly.

"How's it going, Professor Nan?" I asked.

"It went quite well, we were divided into three shifts and rotated to excavate, but the number of corpses was very large, and we were very careful to preserve the bones as completely as possible, so the progress was very slow." Professor Nan said.

"We understand, after all, bones are very fragile after being buried for many years, so it's better to be careful, how can we help?" I asked.

"There's really nothing I need help with at the moment, by the way, I really can't help me see how many corpses have been pieced together now, I'm about to go and see, I haven't had time yet." Professor Nan said.

"Okay, I got it." I said yes and took Yun Ximing and Min Lan to the place where the bones were placed.

In order to facilitate the inventory, the bones are all based on the skull of one person, and each person is placed in one place. From a distance, it seemed that so many bones were densely packed on a large area of the ground, and they were arranged in the shape of a matrix, each square matrix was manned by two people. We approached the person in charge of the matrix and asked them one by one, and then aggregated the data.

"How's it going, are the results out?" I asked.

"There are a total of one hundred and twenty-two skeletons that have been pieced together into a complete corpse, and they have not yet been pieced together, and the data is one hundred and three, and there are pending unearthing." Yun Ximing said.

"More than 200 now?" I say.

"Yes, I paid attention, most of those bones were fractured, unfortunately they were injured when they were buried alive, not man-made before, these people should not have been abused, but they were pushed into the pit alive and buried alive." Yun Ximing said.

"Yin Yin." Wang Na suddenly ran over.

"What's the matter, Sister Wang Na." I asked.

"Professor Nan seems to have made some new discoveries over there." Sister Wang Na said.

I also formed a conditioned reflex, so I quickly ran over, "How is it, Professor Nan, what did you find?" I asked.

"I don't know, in the middle of our excavation, suddenly there was something big underneath, very hard, that hasn't been unearthed yet, I don't know what it is." Professor Nan said.

"Is it a funeral object?" Dazhe's eyes lit up, and he speculated.

"Fatty, are you stupid, have you ever seen a burial object for a person buried alive?" Yun Ximing said disgustedly.

"Professor Nan's stuff is out, please come over and take a look." A staff member came over to inform.

"Let's go, Yinyin, how about going over and having a look together." Professor Nan said. (To be continued......)
