Chapter 57: The Truth Emerges
The position where the thin bamboo pole stood blocked our way, and Lao Meng impatiently pushed the person in and squeezed it in, and then he was stunned in place.
It wasn't until my body was fully stepped into the body that I knew why Lao Meng and Slender Bamboo Pole had this reaction.
An ear room less than 30 square meters is full of all kinds of treasures and jewelry.
The pearl necklace and the gold, still shining as new, sparkled in the light of our flashlights, without any signs of oxidation at all.
I looked at the gold ingots and torn beads scattered on the ground, and guessed that someone might have stolen these treasures from the chest, but because they couldn't hold so many things on their bodies, they were scattered on the ground.
The two eyes of the thin bamboo pole seemed to be lit up, and they looked at the mountains of jewels with a glow.
I was also amazed at the strength of the tomb owner during his lifetime, and there were so many treasures piled up in a small ear chamber. And it's really amazing that so much can be left behind after it has been looted by someone for a long time.
Lao Meng was also blinded and circled around the gold and silver mountains.
Tuso wasn't interested at all, yawning as if he was sleepy.
I casually opened a box, and there were so many gold coins in it that flowed out. I picked one up and looked at the text on it, and found that it was written in ancient currency.
This large box contained the currency of the ancient Dian Kingdom at that time.
It seems that people will always distort history one-sidedly, and it has always been regarded as a legend and a non-existent people, who are the real people of this country.
The copper coins on the Ninefold Treasure Letter may have been made according to the currency in circulation at the time.
It's just that the idea of this worker is also strange, the circulation currency is gold, and the key to the important ninefold treasure letter is copper. Later, when I thought about it, it wasn't copper, and Yu Nian said that it was forged from a special material of cold iron.
"! How can there be a person in this! Lao Meng suddenly shouted.
I took a look and saw a hand sticking out of the pile of jewels. I called Tuso, and the three of us moved the things on the upper layer with all our hands and feet, and we found that half of the body of the person lying on the ground had completely corrupted into black blood, and only half of his body remained.
The hand on the right side of the neck struggled upwards.
The thin bamboo pole seemed to see something at this time, and pointed to something on the ground and stumbled.
I looked down and saw that it was a bunch of keys. The thin bamboo pole pointed to the key and said, "This, this, this person is Meng Dong......"
All of us here had a numb scalp when I said this, and I asked, "Don't talk nonsense, didn't the golden tooth just die outside?" ”
"It's him, it must be him. I know him for this set of keys. I used to let him take it off when I was too noisy when I was walking, and he said that the lock was his life, and he wouldn't take it off when he died. ”
The thin bamboo pole has a head and an end, and it is not okay to believe it.
I recalled the final tragic state and posture of the Golden Fang, as if it were really no different from the rotten flesh in front of us.
But why did the person who died outside appear here in such an instant?
As we spoke, the outstretched hand suddenly moved, and finally the knuckles suddenly contracted, and the half of the body that was stuck to the ground suddenly stood up, all supported by one leg.
Tu Suo stepped forward and wanted to hold the gold tooth, but the thin bamboo pole said, "You can't touch it, all the carrion on his body is highly poisonous, and it will fester." ”
Tuso doesn't believe it, but I'm not going to let Tuso take the risk. This thing is like a dangerous bomb, and it's better to stay away if you can't afford it.
"Get out of here and shut it up in this chamber." After that, I went out with Tuso in tow.
But the thin bamboo pole was still greedy for the gold, silver and jewelry on the ground, and Lao Meng ran out quickly, "I haven't seen anyone who is greedy for money and doesn't even want his life." ”
A few of us hurriedly left the ear chamber, leaving only the thin bamboo pole hesitantly holding the contents of the box.
Just when the gold tooth was about to pounce in the next second, the thin bamboo pole fell to the ground with two soft feet, and the gold jewelry in his arms was thrown all over the ground.
I couldn't help it, so I rushed in and scooped him up, "I might as well go with the and go with the mouse to recognize relatives." ”
After bringing the man out, Tuso closed the door with his backhand. The thin bamboo pole was still regretting that he couldn't bring out his gold and silver treasures, and I was upset by his quarrel and said, "Such a small ear room, there are so many good things, and after entering the main hall, then you have to go?" ”
The thin bamboo pole sounded like this, and turned his head to find the main burial chamber intently.
At that moment, I heard footsteps behind me. When I looked back, I found that it was a little boy of four or five years old, wearing ancient clothes and barefoot.
The sudden sight of a child dressed like this in this tomb is much more terrifying than the sight of a dead gold tooth.
Before I could ask Lao Meng and them to take a look, the child had already run to the door of the ear chamber to open the door of the tomb.
Without thinking about it, I ran over and pulled the kid away.
The kid looked at me with a smile and giggled, as if he was deliberately luring me over.
When I had passed, he stopped pulling the door, but pulled up my trouser leg and led me away.
I don't know what's wrong, as if I was controlled by this child, and my legs walked unconsciously, and I couldn't control it at all.
I knew exactly what I was doing, but I just couldn't control myself.
Lao Meng, they didn't seem to notice that I was gone, and they didn't come to pull me for a long time.
The kid took me back and forth through the maze, and finally came to the place where I threw the puppet doll, picked up the doll on the ground, handed it to me, and pointed to his head.
I thought and asked, "You want me to help you find the doll's head?" ”
As if he understood, he nodded, gesturing to another chamber at the end.
"The doll's head is in there?"
He nodded again, and the familiar scene reminded me of the time when I was in Nanshan before, and I seemed to have met a child underground. The boy asked me to sew up his doll, and the boy asked me to help him find the puppet's head. Why did so many people find me?
While I was wondering, he was already walking towards the ear chamber.
I saw that Lao Meng and the others didn't come, and the other side was also curious about what was in this ear room, so I walked over with a ghost.
It was still the same tomb door, and when it was pushed open, there was a carriage on the ground in the middle of the room.
All around were made of bronze, and only one was knee-high for me. There were about twenty or thirty of them, neatly arranged, as if they were waiting to be reviewed.
At this time, I noticed that there seemed to be an untimely object on the ground, and I bent down to pick it up only to see that it was a pen cap.
This kind of hero brand fountain pen may be a brand commonly used by the older generation, and now few young people will buy it.
The boy disappeared as soon as I entered the house, and I don't know if he was afraid of something in the house.
According to my understanding of the structure of traditional tombs, the main burial chamber is usually filled with the coffin of the owner of the tomb, and the burial goods are placed in the ear chamber.
Some of them have daily necessities, porcelain, calligraphy and paintings, and some of them have gold and silver jewelry like the one I just saw.
There is a carriage and a group of soldiers in it, and it seems that the matter of leading soldiers to fight is also a very important thing for the owner of the tomb, so even if he dies, he must take it with him.
With a pen cap in my hand, I suddenly paused as I walked around the back of the carriage.
The back seat of what was supposed to be an empty carriage was crammed with four or five skeletons.
Judging from the surface of the bones, it looks as if the man has been dead for years. All of them were wearing clothes from a long time ago, some were tunics, and some were simply wearing an earthy yellow fishing vest.
It's strange why did these people die here? Squeezed into a carriage that wasn't big enough?
"Lao Meng! Tuso! I shouted twice, but no one came.
I had no choice but to bite the bullet and take a closer look.
After careful inspection, I realized that there were five people here, both male and female. The three men and the two women were all snuggled up to each other tightly.
This posture is really strange, it stands to reason that these people look quite a bit old, and the boundaries between men and women in that era should be very obvious, and they will not sit together so closely.
Moreover, these people have a stiff posture, and they should maintain this posture until they die.
Supposedly this place is not far from the entrance, why do these people sit here and wait for death but not get out?
I was puzzled, but I found a red book in the jacket pocket of one of the men.
On the cover of this book is four words - work notes. The notes are only the size of a palm, and they look very portable.
I carefully clamped it up, for fear that it would turn into crumbs if I touched it a little bit.
As soon as I opened the first page, the time recorded on the first page made my eyelids jump.
Essay on scientific expedition of the Central Museum - July 3, 1946.
This is the last time my grandfather Xiao Baoshan's archaeological team went down to the tomb.
All of a sudden, I seemed to have opened up the second pulse of Ren Du, and the whole person entered a state of extreme excitement.
These five people should be the team members who came to Shizhai Mountain with my grandfather to conduct archaeological excavations, but why did these people die here, but my grandfather escaped?
I remember that my grandfather has always been in the tea business, and he is very protective of his experience in this period. I don't know if my dad deliberately hid it from me, or if he didn't know about it.
But today, it seems that all the puzzles are slowly being solved. Although this essay is only the size of the palm of your hand, the archaeological record of these days is much more detailed than my grandfather's notebook.
As the story unfolded little by little, a truth that shocked me even more slowly began to emerge.
