Chapter 2 The Tomb Occasionally
The excavation work was carried out relatively slowly, and in order not to damage the tomb, the archaeological team asked the excavation not to be too forceful and to pay attention to the objects excavated in the soil at all times.
Therefore, from morning until noon the next day, the excavation has not made much progress, and there are hardly any finds within the preset range, and if it were not for the insistence of the archaeological team, even Tule would have doubted whether there would really be a king's tomb here.
However, Du Le and the others did not refuse to work, whether there was a royal tomb or not, for them, one hundred and fifty a day was settled on the same day, and it was enough to make money.
It wasn't until two o'clock in the afternoon that an excavator made a major discovery, he dug up a stone gate and a stone inscription.
This caused a great sensation in the archaeological team, and Du Le even saw a gray-haired old man with tears on his face. This surprised and intrigued him. I don't know what kind of value this ancient tomb has, and what kind of charm can make them devote themselves to it.
Finding the entrance to the tomb, Mr. Qin gathered everyone together and took a temporary break from work to wait for further instructions.
Soon the instructions came down, this time three people were to be drawn from among the workers, and they would be the first to enter the tomb with the members of the archaeological team, and the selected ones would have a bonus. After the lottery, I didn't expect Du Le, who was hiding behind everyone, to also be selected.
According to Du Le's original meaning, the salary is about the same for everyone, and if you can go to the tomb, you can still do it without doing it. Although he is an atheist, who knows who the ancestors in the Dao are and whether there is any danger or not.
Du Le, who has read a lot of tomb robbery novels, knows that some tombs have organs, at least some tombs are old, and there will be some toxic gases. So, naturally, he hid behind.
Who would have thought that the more people want to hide, the more they can't hide. Du Le had no choice but to accept his fate.
I have to say that the archaeological team is still relatively formal, and Du Le received a gas mask, a helmet with a strong light, and special gloves and shoes on his hands and feet.
With the help of machinery, the stone door of the burial chamber slowly revealed a jet-black hole, and a strange smell came to the nose. After waiting for an hour, the smell was almost gone, and Du Le and three other workers, two archaeological team members, and two security guards with weapons, a total of seven people walked in one by one. Mr. Qin is also one of them.
Du Le felt that the tomb was very large, and they walked down more than fifty meters before they came to a relatively empty burial chamber. Under the bright light, everyone was stunned.
As if it were not a burial chamber, but a small palace. It covers an area of at least five hundred square meters and is three meters high. From the entrance, there are large round carved stone pillars every five meters, lined with them, and a short distance from the opposite side, there is a small stone staircase. Above the stone staircase is a stone chair.
"Everyone, be observant, be careful, don't touch things." Mr. Qin said solemnly to Du Le and the others in front.
"I know it." Du Le replied.
The seven people slowly walked towards the stone staircase, and when they climbed the stone staircase, they found that there was a small space behind the stone chair, and inside was a large sarcophagus, and several wooden boxes were placed around the sarcophagus.
Mr. Qin and another member of the archaeological team began to look around one by one, especially the patterns on the walls. Du Le guessed that they might have wanted to see if there was any other space in the burial chamber. Many main burial chambers will have a number of secondary burial chambers for storing funerary goods. Their main job was to explore the main structure of the tomb and provide assistance for subsequent archaeology.
The tomb is relatively large, so Mr. Qin did not prohibit everyone from moving, and Du Le and others can also help, under the supervision and protection of the security guards, the rest of the people are engaged in intense exploration.
The ancient tomb, especially the tomb of the king, has to make Du Le a little excited and expectant in addition to apprehension. Generally, there are a lot of good things in the king's tomb, either gold and silver or other utensils, or some antique jade, and picking up one is enough to get his family out of the current poor life. …,
Tule did not forget that this was an archaeological activity, and all the items obtained in the tomb had to be handed over to the public. It's just that as a human being, there will always be a little bit of luck.
Du Le was not too far from the sarcophagus, and he was not an archaeological team, so he didn't need to work so hard. Du Le simply searched the ground around him, using the lights. This is also where Du Le is smart, the security guards of the archaeological team are obviously not vegetarians, and with their movements, Du Le and their every move is under their gaze. In particular, the other two workers were also excited to search around. It's just that they only have some boxes in their eyes, stored objects. Therefore, the security guards always prevent them from opening the box at the right time.
In this way, Du Le's behavior seems to be more "peaceful", but he is a person who does not need to be paid attention to.
The sky doesn't drop pie for no reason, and Doullot soon discovered this. There was nothing of value on the ground, at most some rotten crockpots or something.
I turned around in a small area, and I was stunned that I found nothing. Du Le began to feel a little irritable in his heart, watching that the people of the archaeological team were about to finish the tomb, and the sound of outside calls came from the walkie-talkie, and finally Du Le put his eyes around the stone chair.
Hey? What is it?
Suddenly, Du Le discovered a small hole about 15 centimeters in diameter under the stone chair, which was difficult to find in the dark burial chamber without paying attention. The small hole is very regular, not like moth-eaten, but rather deliberately hewn, and when you touch it, you can see that there seems to be something stored in the hole.
Combined with various adventure TV series, plus tomb robbery novels, Du Le can't help but use his imagination, is there a mechanism?
People's curiosity is great, and it is not easy to find a peculiar goal, and Du Le is naturally unwilling to let it go. Besides, Du Le didn't think it was a big deal to take a look.
So, Du Le squatted down directly and took the lamp to shine directly on the small hole.
The burial chamber was too dark, and the light on the helmet was still not strong enough to be seen clearly. However, at least it can be confirmed that the contents of the cave should not be living creatures, such as snakes and rats. On second thought, in such a closed space, living things should not be able to survive for long.
So Du Le didn't think much about it, and simply reached into the small hole and dug it out. When I took it out, it turned out to be a gray cloth bag interspersed with hemp rope and tightened openings.
Before Du Le could open the gray cloth bag, a light suddenly shone from the front, which frightened Du Le to stand up quickly, and the cloth bag in his hand was subconsciously stuffed into the wide trouser pocket.
"Let's get out of the house first." Mr. Qin had already finished turning around, walked over, and told everyone to go out first.
Du Le couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, he thought that his little action had been discovered.
Everyone gathered at the door of the tomb, and when Du Le passed by Mr. Qin's side, he didn't notice that Mr. Qin's eyes were staring at him, and his unpredictable eyes flashed faintly.
In fact, Du Le didn't know that his action of squatting down next to the stone chair just now had already been clearly seen by Mr. Qin.
