As soon as I heard the meaning of Xiao Mao's words, as if he was willing to tell his experience in Ta'er Lake, my heart was immediately excited.

"Xiao Mao, what did you see in Ta'er Lake? I feel ...... Do you think that the boss will kill you sooner or later? Tell me about it, try to be as detailed as possible. ”

"I saw some situations, and for me at the time, those situations may be a little incomprehensible and unacceptable."

Their team was stationed on the northeast side of Ta'er Lake, which was actually in the lake, but because there was so little water in the lake, the bottom of the lake was exposed. After the team was stationed, a group of people were still dizzy, they did not know what the purpose of the operation was. Xiaomao's boss is very cautious, and at this time, he still doesn't let go and doesn't confide in anyone.

However, Xiao Mao is used to it, he has been following the boss for a long time, and he knows the boss's style very well, so when other people are guessing behind their backs, Xiao Mao didn't say anything, just do his own thing.

About a hundred meters from the camp, it is one of the few remaining bodies of water in Ta'er Lake. The terrain here is the lowest in the entire lake, so the area of this body of water is relatively large, and the deepest part of the lake should be about ten meters. The team carried a few very old-fashioned scuba bodies, but the people in the team were all from the north, and they usually did not touch rivers and lakes, and they knew nothing about diving experience.

The boss personally took a few people and moved the relevant equipment to the water's edge. The rest of the people were left in the camp and no one was allowed to approach without the permission of the boss.

The men had been working by the water's edge for a whole day, and had not picked up anything, until near evening, when something seemed to have happened at the water's edge.

People who go into the water are very rusty in technology, and they have to prepare for salvage, so everyone must carry a rope before entering the water. If something is actually found in the water, or if the diver has an accident, then the people on the shore can at least help a little by dragging the rope with all their might.

It was approaching dusk, and it was almost time to call it a day, and someone went into the water for the last time, and they didn't come up after going down. The people at the water's edge felt that something was wrong, so they wanted to get people out, but several people worked together to drag the rope, but they couldn't pull it, so they hurriedly called the people from the camp to come over to help.

Xiao Mao ran over with a few people and tried to pull the rope. The other end of the rope seemed to weigh thousands of pounds, and it couldn't be pulled at all.

This situation must be abnormal, how much can a person with a full set of scuba weigh? Especially with the buoyancy of the water, the people on the shore should be dragged back without much effort. Some people judge whether the people under the water are stuck by something, otherwise, such a situation would not have happened.

If the person in the water is really stuck, then there will be a problem if you pull it hard. After a stalemate, Xiao Mao felt that if he didn't make a move, the people in the water would not be dragged to death, but they would have to die due to lack of oxygen.

At this time, the boss, who had been silent, spoke, asking people to leave it alone and get the people out of the water first.

There was a boss who spoke, and there were about a dozen people on the shore plus people with small wool belts, pulling the rope in unison.

It's also strange to say that the rope, which was originally heavy, suddenly became much lighter, and was dragged back by someone. At this time, the light was already a little dim, and when the rope was pulled back, Xiao Mao saw that the other end of the rope was still tied to the diver's waist.

But when the rope and the divers were completely pulled to the shore, the group was dumbfounded.

At the other end of the rope was not a diver, but a figurine.

There was a commotion in the crowd, because everyone knew that when the rope went into the water, it was tied to the diver's waist, but when it came out of the water again, the diver became a figurine.

Suddenly, it sounded like a stealing beam to change the pillar, but the change was a little weird, which made people feel bottomless. A bunch of people are speculating about what happened in the water.

At this time, the boss got angry and told everyone to shut up, and when they returned to the camp, they were not allowed to mention the matter again. As you can imagine, the boss has absolute authority in the team, and as soon as he speaks, everyone dares not speak out.

Some people still wondered if they needed to go into the water again and look for the diver, but in the end they didn't say anything. After all this time, no one can say what happened to the diver, but one thing is for sure, the diver is definitely dead.

The men carried the figurines to the camp and covered them with a canvas. The boss gave Xiao Mao a task, let Xiao Mao look at the figurine, and no one was allowed to approach, let alone peep. Xiao Mao is very sincere, after the boss explained, Xiao Mao sat next to the canvas, not leaving an inch.

After nightfall, the people in the camp began to eat, and after eating, some of them used flashlights in their tents to play poker and gamble for money. For such things, the boss generally does not care. Coming out to do things is like going to the battlefield, and those who are still alive and kicking around now may hang up tomorrow, and they can't even deprive themselves of the right to the last bit of entertainment when they work with their heads. However, Xiao Mao does not participate in these, and has always honestly guarded this figurine.

At ten o'clock in the evening, all the players dispersed, and except for the vigil, the rest began to fall asleep. The boss came to find Xiaomao at this time, and the two of them drank a little wine.

From this point, it can be seen that the boss trusts Xiaomao very much and is very close. After all, Xiao Mao has followed him since he was a teenager, and after so many years, in addition to the relationship between hiring and being employed, there is a vague family affection between them.

Xiao Mao knew that when the boss came to him for a drink, it was usually when he was not in a good mood. In addition to drinking, the boss will also say something and possibly curse. Xiao Mao is used to it and understands him. Because no matter how powerful the boss usually is, he is a person after all, and he also has his own seven emotions and six desires.

The two were drinking, and the boss asked Xiao Mao if he knew what he was doing when he came to Ta'er Lake this time.

Xiao Mao shook his head and said he didn't know. But through the incident that happened in the evening, Xiao Mao actually knew a little bit in his heart.

Figurines have only one function, which is to accompany the burial, no matter where the figurines are found, then there will probably be tombs nearby.

Moreover, when dealing with this figurine, Xiao Mao found a little abnormality. The general figurines are basically made of clay and fired into pottery, with different clays, firing processes and temperatures, which will make the finished products different from the color, but in the final analysis, everything is the same, and experienced people can see these subtle differences at a glance.

However, this figurine pulled out of the water has dark red lines like a circle of cloud patterns around its body. This dark red texture is definitely not determined by the color of the clay.

The boss didn't ask Xiao Mao if he really didn't know the purpose of this trip or if he didn't know, he lifted the canvas covering the figurines, pointed to the dark red lines on the figurines, and told Xiao Mao that this was not an ordinary terracotta figurine. This kind of terracotta figurines are called blood pottery.

The boss actually values Xiao Mao very much, sometimes he takes Xiao Mao around, and when he encounters strange things, he will explain it to Xiao Mao. This is a kind of trust, but also a kind of cultivation, in such a hearing and seeing, Xiao Mao's insight and experience are also invisibly growing and accumulating, one day, he can be on his own.

The firing technique of this blood pottery has been lost, and its firing process is very cruel to say. It can be said that the appearance of blood pottery is actually a disguised martyrdom.

The history of human martyrdom can be traced back to ancient times, and with the progress of civilization, human martyrdom was gradually banned by most tribes and later countries. First of all, human martyrdom is too cruel and not in line with the way of heaven, and secondly, a large number of labor people are martyred, which will affect production, so in some places where the custom of human martyrdom is maintained, blood pottery appears.

The clay used to make blood pottery is ordinary clay, but next to the blood pottery workshop, there are large stone mortars. Living people are thrown into stone mortars, and the flesh and bones are pounded into blood mud, mixed with clay clay, and after a special firing process, the flesh and blood can be burned into a unique dark red pattern attached to the pottery body.

The blood mud made by a living person can burn ten figurines. Ten figurines are buried together, which is equivalent to ten human martyrdom. This kind of thing is a good way to alleviate the contradiction between bad habits and the progress of civilization.

But if you think about it on your heels, you can see that this kind of blood pottery is not a good thing. In ancient times, those who could be buried with this kind of blood pottery were either rich or expensive, and they could not be ordinary people.

The boss chatted with Xiao Mao for a long time, and then asked Xiao Mao if the diver went into the water once, and when he pulled it up again, it turned into a blood pottery, which was a very ominous sign. If we continue to do it, will there be greater accidents?

Xiao Mao didn't answer, because he knew better than anyone else that the boss asked so, so let him ask, but he absolutely couldn't answer, this kind of thing must be made by the boss himself.

The boss groaned for a long time, and finally didn't say why. However, he instructed Xiao Mao that the blood pottery that came out of the water could not be left on the side of the camp, and had to be thrown back into the water.

Xiao Mao found two people, and it took a lot of effort to lift the blood pottery back to the water's edge, and then threw it down. The blood pottery is very heavy, and it sinks to the bottom as soon as it enters the water.

When Xiao Mao went back to talk to the boss, the boss said that let Xiao Mao work hard, and observe more at the water's edge at night to see if there was anything abnormal.

Xiao Mao understands that the boss gave him the task alone, that is, let him complete it alone, if something really happens at the water's edge, then only Xiao Mao knows it, so it is convenient to block the news.

Xiao Mao accepted the task and was very conscientious, and when everyone else slept, he quietly lurked by the water, observed for a while, and moved to a place.

"Then you must have observed something." I heard the crackling of a lighter on the other side of the phone, and knew that Xiao Mao was probably smoking, so I quickly interjected: "Otherwise, you wouldn't have told this experience in such detail." ”

"That's right, it's observed." Xiao Mao sighed over there and said, "A scene that I will never forget." ”
