Chapter 52: Quicksand

The autumn weather was crisp, and the three old farmers stepped on the dew-stained weeds through the bud valley to the smoother road. The moonlight shone on the earth, and the grass on both sides of the road kept screaming, as if they were soldiers waiting to be reviewed.

After a while, they came to the last high ground. The old farmer looked around. It was found that this highland was only less than 50 meters away from the main road, but the distance of 50 meters away was all planted with bud valleys, and it was said that no one would find them in the bud valley field. And the high ground is overgrown with yellow artemisia more than a person tall, and it will not be discovered by others if it burrows into such a haystack. Behind the highlands is a dense forest of bamboo poles.

The three men walked around to the back of the mound and threw down their luggage. The old farmer instructed Wu Feifei and Yang Kexing to clear a patch of weeds with sapper shovels and paratrooper knives to facilitate the construction of tents. He took out the Luoyang shovel and began to explore the location.

The two got the order, so they panicked and weeded. The old farmer smoked his own cigarette, connected the sleeve, and found a point more than ten meters below the ground and began to drill.

The grass is deep, but it is not messy. With the addition of a sharp weapon such as a paratrooper knife, the two of them had cleared out an open space and set up the tent in half a cigarette.

After setting up the tent, the two took out a cigarette and came to the old farmer while smoking.

The old farmer had just punched in a set of buckets at this time, and it could be seen from the soil brought out that the soil here was not hard.

The three of them laughed and laughed. It was about twelve o'clock in the morning. The long-awaited thing finally happened. After the old farmer pulled out the Luoyang shovel that had been beaten for more than 20 sections, he found that he had brought out a large amount of sand.

When the old farmer saw this, his face immediately showed a look of joy and worry. Lao Fan was asking, but Yang Kexing said, "Quicksand Tomb? "

I saw that the old farmer nodded and said, "It's a quicksand tomb." "

"it! What bad luck! Yang Kexing scolded viciously. This time it was strange, Feng Laonong, who had always loved to scold, did not scold, but was preempted by this Yang Kexing. Could it be that this is the so-called mountain is higher than a mountain?

This quicksand tomb is made of fine sand to fill the tomb passage and the open space around the burial chamber. Tomb robbers usually dig into the tomb in a few days or even hours during the tomb robbery. But this method of filling is at least enough for grave robbers to dig for more than ten days. And such a spring and autumn tomb will be filled with sand and stones of different sizes. This point, more than ten years later, has also been confirmed. In 2005, the state-organized archaeology found that there was nearly 11 meters of sand under the fill layer, and the sand layer was carefully buried with stones, wooden box rooms, and coffin rooms. The sediment is fine yellow sand, which is very pure and very fluid. Archaeologists have found more than 1,000 stones in the sand layer, the smallest being only 3 kilograms and the largest being 165 kilograms. These stones come in a variety of colors and shapes, but the corners are sharp and should have been deliberately mined and deliberately selected for their lethal properties. The placement of the stones is also carefully designed, which can be roughly divided into random stone layer, capstone layer, capstone layer, waist stone layer and undercover stone layer, which can prevent thieves from entering from different parts. Scattered in the upper layer of the sand, more than 50 pieces remain, among which there are about 9 kilograms of small stones, and more than 100 kilograms of boulders, the position size is irregular, plays the role of cold stone "hidden weapon".

The old farmer was smoking a cigarette and thinking about it for a long time. I saw the old farmer throw the cigarette butt on the ground and said, "There is! "
