Chapter 25: The Old Peasant's Route

It turned out that when the three of us entered the cave. I was alone with a flashlight to see the murals. Wu Feifei sat at the bottom of the cave and took a nap. Feng Lao Nong stood next to him, looked around with a flashlight, and found a hole on the top of the tomb about two meters away from the left side of the cave entrance, which looked like a thief cave in the past. So he jumped hard, grabbed the bricks at the entrance of the hole, pulled up and climbed into the hole.

After entering the hole, I found that there was a large space inside, but the irradiation range of the flashlight was limited, and I couldn't see too far away, and about two meters high, it was the red tomb top, and the interval was not far away, and there would be a carved round pillar straight into the tomb roof, as if it was used to support the tomb roof. So he cautiously groped his way forward. After walking a short distance, I suddenly noticed a tent-like thing in front of me. When I touched it, it turned out to be a military tent, surrounded by some bags of compressed food and some discarded daily necessities. The tent and the sleeping bag inside were covered with a thick layer of dust, and it was clear that the tent was some years old. Feng Lao Nong rummaged through it for a while, but didn't find anything useful. So he went back and came down through the hole.

However, after coming down, I found that Wu Feifei and I were gone, and the rope at the entrance of the thief cave was gone. Feng Laonong thought to himself, Wu Feifei and I might not be able to find him, so we went back to the village. I didn't think much about it. He thought that since someone had built a tent there on the top of the tomb before, there must have been a robbery hole, so that he could save himself from the work of digging holes and hiding from the mechanism. And these tomb robbers are not the common kind of Tufuzi, in the late 80s, can be put on a military tent to invert the bucket, then there must be a large number of Ming weapons and even artifacts in the bucket. Although the Ming weapon may not be guaranteed, I also want to fish in the muddy water and pick up a leak or something. It can also improve the lives of poverty.

Thinking of this, Feng Lao Nong re-entered the cave and set off to the top of the tomb. After walking more than ten meters through the abandoned tent, I found a hole in the base of a pillar. I looked in with a flashlight, and saw that the black hole was about 50 centimeters down, wrapped with silk, and I vaguely saw the young silkworms wriggling. Feng Lao Nong didn't dare to go down. Just keep walking. Unexpectedly, after walking a short distance, I found that there was no way, and there was a curved tomb in front of me. At this time, Feng Lao Nong realized that he was really in the middle part of the circular tomb lid and the tomb layer of this tomb.

He had no choice but to walk around the wall, the smooth roof of the tomb empty, though he could occasionally see discarded cigarette handles. It seems that the owner of the tent had also inquired about something on the top of this tomb. After walking dozens of meters, Feng Lao Nong came to the other end of the tomb, and at this time, Feng Lao Nong seemed to hear the sound of gunshots coming from the tomb under his feet. The old farmer wondered in his heart, could it be that he had heard it wrong? The old farmer was lying on the ground, his ears firmly pressed to the ground. A few moments later, a faint sound of gunfire was heard. Only then did I believe that there were other people in this tomb. And with a firearm, there must have been a great danger, and you need to shoot to save the day. But Feng Lao Nong didn't expect it to be us at that time. Because Wu Feifei and I don't have guns.

Feng Lao Nong turned on the flashlight and groped for the hole that went down to the tomb. Finally, a few meters away from the wall, I found a hole with a diameter of forty or fifty centimeters. The incision at the hole was neat, as if it had been cut with a mechanical tool. Feng Laonong was puzzled. At that time, there was no electricity in the village. It was impossible to bring that large cutting equipment to the tomb. Only a stone cutter burning gasoline or diesel fuel can cut such a flat cut. Because this kind of fuel stone cutting machine weighs only a dozen catties, and the diameter is only thirty or forty centimeters at most. Easy to carry. It is an essential equipment for home travel, digging graves and robbing graves. However, the price is very expensive, two or three thousand yuan per unit. And it's only available in big cities. At that time, two or three thousand yuan could buy a house in the county seat. Pork was only 8 cents a pound at the time. What's more, this group of people may have entered the cave earlier, in that case. Not to mention that ordinary people can afford this kind of equipment.

Feng Lao Nong was full of hope, but he was extremely disappointed. Because people have such good equipment and have invested so much. Then I'm afraid that I will fight this time, don't explain the device. Even if it is a copper coin that is stuffed into someone's mouth, it may not be able to get one. But he didn't give up, and he was thinking in his heart that this group of people had such a big hand, I was afraid that there were some gadgets that they couldn't look down on at all. Maybe you can pick up a spill. Thinking of this, the old farmer shone a flashlight into the cave, and found that the hole was very clean and not deep, and the light range of the flashlight could reach the bottom of the hole. The old farmer took out a piece of steel pipe and threw it down, and after a plop, there was no sound. Sure that there was no danger, the old farmer jumped down sharply.

After going down to the bottom, the old farmer found out. This hole is not as deep as expected, at most it is only about 1.8 meters high, because the old farmer is also more than 1.7 meters tall. Standing at the bottom of the cave in his figure, his head almost touching the top of the tomb. The old farmer picked up the steel pipe and shone it around with a flashlight. It was found to be a very small burial chamber, and strangely enough, it was empty, except for a row of broken clay pots thrown on the side of the wall, and the door of the burial chamber was not closed, it was a circular stone door frame with no sealing stone installed. It's like the gate of the cave where the Shaanxi people live in the movie.

Feng Lao Nong was happy in his heart. Counted the crockpots on the wall. There are more than a dozen large and small jars, the big one is more than one meter high, the thickness of one person hugging, and the small one is half a meter, the thickness of a basin. When you look closer, you can see that these jars resemble the kind of clay jars that rural people use to store eggs, unpainted or glazed, and the mouth of the jar is still sealed with mud. And the body of the jar is shaped in the shape of a dragon in the form of yang script, entrenched in the week of the jar. The old farmer turned the jar around and found that the dragon was not quite right, dozens of legs were made before and after, and the part that should have been the head of the dragon was made with a head similar to the shape of a silkworm baby. I looked at the tail again, but it was as thick as the body, and there was no tail. Feng Laonong was bored in his heart, and he didn't care about him. I picked up a jar and was about to open it, but I found that the jar was not very heavy. I don't know what's inside. The old farmer, who originally thought that the jar contained gold and silver, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Deflated and discouraged, the old farmer still has a longing. Biting the flashlight with your mouth, you can quickly deduct the sealed mud. After a few hard buckles, I found that the mud was stronger than the cement. You can't clasp it with your fingers at all. I couldn't help it, I was about to use the steel pipe on my body to slowly knock down the sealing mud. But I vaguely heard me and Wu Feifei talking. The old farmer thought that Wu Feifei and I had also come here, so he hurriedly ran out of the tomb. When he got out of the tomb, he found that the tomb outside was empty, and the old farmer couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. I thought I had seen a ghost! When goosebumps were getting all over my body, I heard the sound of glass breaking, and then I could clearly hear my swearing. It's certainly not a haunting.

Searching for the source of the sound, the old peasant felt that he was three meters away from the door of the tomb, but on the opposite side of the wall. So he shouted out to me and Wu Feifei's voice. Shouting was hoarse in my throat, but we didn't get a response. The old farmer concluded that we were across the wall, and learned from our conversation that we must have fallen asleep. Tired all night and added so long. It must have fallen asleep upside down. So I couldn't hear his cries. Having taken his attention, he struck it in the middle of the wall with the large and small hammer and steel fiber he had brought with him.

After knocking for a long time, I finally knocked out a hole the size of a bowl. The old farmer looked at the flashlight and found that there was nothing, so he was not worried that we might lean on the side and injure us by mistake. Then he picked up the sledgehammer, swung it behind him, and then swung it forward, slamming it twice with the force of the impact, and the hole suddenly opened up. Then he stuck his head out, shone his flashlight, and found me sitting in the graveyard across from him, eyes fixed on him. Then I scolded the old farmer, and as soon as the old farmer jumped down, he was kidnapped by the two of us at gunpoint.
