Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Well of the Dead

I said that under the water, people will really be as excited as if they have drunk wine, but their IQ has dropped, and when I put my hand over, I began to regret it, but the reaction speed has not kept up, and I have no time to withdraw my hand.

While worrying about whether I would recklessly touch something, my hand had been inserted into the delicate and cool sand, and I felt a hard thing, which felt like a dead thing. I was half relieved, and even a little happy, saying that I finally didn't go home empty-handed.

I clenched my fists and felt what I was holding in my hand was a stick-like thing, and I pulled it out with all my might, and it didn't take much effort to get it out, which was the length of chopsticks. When I took it to it, I recognized it as a bone, no matter how slow my brain was. Then, out of the corner of my eye, I saw a few small bones on the mud and sand, which I had brought up with me, all the size of finger bones. What about this...... It must have been a bone in the arm.

Although it is not uncommon to see this kind of thing when I was in Jinshi, I still think it is quite unlucky. Others dig out the treasure, and I come to dig out the dead again.

Seeing that there were more bones-like things underneath that were gradually revealing on the surface of the mud and sand, I said to myself: Damn, I don't care about this. So I turned off the pump, went back to the well, had a good hand with the two, and floated up.

Back on the water, Lao Yin really looked at the empty hands in our hands, laughed, and said, "No surprise, no surprise, I just knew."

Originally, I felt very unlucky, and I was ridiculed again, so I couldn't help but say: "There are good treasures below, left for you, you're welcome, don't forget to bring a sack to load."

The team that was wearing wetsuits seemed very happy to hear me say this, and they really picked up a sack and went into the water. As I took off my wetsuit, I thought to myself, let's see what these unlucky bastards can get to me in a moment.

Just as I was sitting on the deck of the ship, my mind was fully restored, someone on the side of the ship shouted, "Come up!" It's very exciting to listen to.

I sneered in my heart, and in the spirit of watching the excitement, I also leaned my head over. As a result, the three guys in the water really carried a sack up. Seeing this scene, Lao Yin's face was obviously very happy, but I observed that the three people below were not very happy. That would seem......

Sure enough, when the contents of the sack were brought out, one of the people present counted as one, and of course all except me had a different expression on their faces.

There are three sacks, all bones, and all human bones that have been soaked in the mud for 2,000 years, and there are all kinds of parts, but they are very messy.

Everyone began to look at each other. With so many human bones, they must not have fallen into the well, and there may be very few cases - apparently they were all thrown after death. But we examined a lot of bones, and there were no fatal injuries made by blunt objects, all the wounds were "crushed", which is easy to understand, and it is not a concept at all that a hole in the skull and the whole shot is deformed. Moreover, judging from the development of bones and teeth, the age of these people is also old and young.

It's very strange, could it be that these people were first killed by some factor, and then they were all thrown into this well? If you combine the legend that Lao Yin told me before, could this factor be the huge disaster? But who was able to throw so many corpses into the well and throw so many gold, silver, jewelry, and bronzes after the "trap of C-state"?

Sometimes that's the case with gold and stone, and some mysteries can only be guessed. It's a bit difficult to do, but I think it's reasonable.

The work of Jinshi will not stop when three sacks of human bones are dug up, but after the next team emerged from the water, everyone lost the excitement of yesterday, and it was full of three sacks of human bones.

Before the end of the work, a total of twelve bags of human bones were salvaged from the well, and on the boat back, everyone obviously had a great emotional turn from yesterday, and maybe only the three people in our group gloated.

At dinner, the chef cut the huge black fish into pieces and boiled it, it was very delicious and there were no fish bones, but the delicious food didn't seem to improve the atmosphere, and everyone basically lowered their heads to eat and didn't speak.

Human bones are indeed a headache in a sense, and epigraphers have always liked to use "science" to advertise their gold and stone excavations, so human bones naturally have its research value in physical anthropology. Some scholars even say that they can restore the recipes and health status of these ancient people by examining human bones, etc., which sounds very mysterious, and I don't know if it's true or not. But for this purpose, not only must the human bones not be lost, but must also be properly stored and dragged back to the warehouse.

After dinner, Lao Yin gathered everyone together again and began to study the burial of this well. Now there is no doubt that the man went first, then the Ding, then the gold and silver treasures, and then the strange bronzes. Lao Yin told us that yesterday the relevant experts of the Ding had been appraised and it was from the Western Zhou Dynasty. According to the principle of accumulation at night and from morning to morning, these bones are from the Western Zhou Dynasty and before? But no matter how you look at this well, it is a well of the Han Dynasty, so it can only be used from the Western Zhou Dynasty to the Han Dynasty?

This is also too awesome, although the time span of seven or eight hundred years is not large, but the early ancient wells are generally without well wall bricks, and the wellhead pile tiles are polite, and there are no bricks and tiles of the "earth well", is the mainstream since the Neolithic Age, this well has not been broken for more than 700 years, and the well wall was added to the Han Dynasty? Oh no, that can't be!

I suddenly remembered that the depth of the down and the bricks of the well wall, if the Han Dynasty people made the brick wall and saw this tripod, he could not go around and continue to work, first, the volume is impossible, and second, if the Han Dynasty people dig out a bronze from the ground, they are all treasures, this is by no means an exception, so it will not just leave it at the bottom of the well. The only possibility is that the Ding came down after the well was repaired in the Han Dynasty.

I told everyone about this idea, and everyone felt that it was reasonable, but the times are not a problem, the problem is the nature of the well. Again, it is impossible for cultural relics to run here on their own feet, and people will not jump into it by themselves, so this strange way of piling up will give people a lot of doubt.

But it suddenly occurred to me that someone had given me a hint that the "flush toilet" model from before reappeared, but now I don't think it's so funny - it's very likely! This is a rare feng shui dragon's cave, but unfortunately it was not buried, but a well was drilled.

After being buried deep underwater, the first breath is breathed in anger, and people are a small gathering point of anger in nature, even if it is a person who has just encountered misfortune, the anger is not dissipated, so it is "swallowed" by the well; Then he gathered treasures, and naturally sucked in these "valuable" objects, so the treasures in this well may be all the good things in the city before the fall of this city. Moreover, for so many years, there has been no sediment accumulation in the well and around it, which shows the feng shui of this place.

Thinking about this conclusion clearly, the more I think about it, the more I believe it, and it is really like an initiation. But I can't tell them this, after all, it's a bit "unscientific", but I also know that according to my inference, there will be no more artifacts or treasures underneath.

The next morning, I got up to wash, and found that something was wrong outside, so I hurriedly looked to see that the mountain of the mirage yesterday had reappeared! And it looks very much like that. I took the sketchpad in my hand and began to flip through the drawings, flipped to the ones I drew yesterday, stood at the door and compared, and it was really exactly the same. And not only the shape, but also the location of the appearance is exactly the same - I don't know if it is a psychological effect or something? I think it's right on top of that well.

Now I'm happy. If this is really the case, then this well is undoubtedly a feng shui dragon's den.

Lao Yin also got up and was surprised to see this scene. Obviously, he also knew that the natural phenomenon of mirage was originally rare, and now it appeared one after another in the past two days, and the scene formed was exactly the same, which must be very wrong. But I don't think he might think about the issue of Feng Shui.

And so, I looked at him, he looked at me, and we didn't say anything, and went our separate ways. Who knows, something even more "cruel" for the Goldstone team will start to happen today.

Human bones, human bones, or human bones, this human bone seems to be endless, and the well seems to be infinitely deep, no matter how you dig it, there will be layers of human bones underneath.

Later, we simply forgot the cultural relics unearthed in this well, and called it the "Dead Man's Well", although it sounds unlucky, but it fully shows its spiritual destruction to us, and people who are not personally experienced may not be able to understand the depression and disappointment of diving into deep water again and again, digging up the remains of the ancestors again and again.

After nearly a week of cleaning, the bones in the dead man's well were finally coming to an end—from the previous layers of stacking, densely piled up, gradually decreasing, and finally only one or two people at the same depth, and then only a few bones. We're getting settled.

However, the well of the dead is not the most frightening place for us now, and the most eerie place now belongs to the storehouse, which contains many sacks of human bones, piled up, which reminds me of the burial pit in the grassland tomb.

This afternoon, it was our turn to go into the water for the first group, and now we went into the water, simply shoveling it down by hand, even digging and prying, in fact, there was nothing in the well, occasionally only some bones and stones, but the wall of the well was not yet in the end, and Lao Yin did not let us give up.

Today, however, as soon as I poked a shovel, I felt something unusual.
