Chapter 305: Instruments of Torture
The tomb can go down, then there is nothing to worry about, the fat man volunteered to take the lead, I readily agreed, anyway, he has rough skin and thick meat, especially can be beaten, that is, there are zongzi immediately coming out to bite him below, and the weight of the fat man can be crushed to death.
Mu Leng took out the rope from the backpack, handed it to the fat man, and then said, "Fat brother, you go down, I'll pull you on it." ”
"Well, the fat man is not light, you take it easy, don't let the fat man fall down, if the ass blooms at that time, I will trouble you and let you carry me back...... Ah! The fat man began to grin with his big mouth, and I was uncomfortable to hear it, so I glanced at Mu Leng, told him to grasp the rope, and then kicked the fat man's buttocks.
The fat man's agility has improved a lot, and when his feet are unstable, he quickly grabbed the rope, and then his body and the ground level formed a seventy-degree angle, and after scolding me, he jumped down.
I grinned and ignored him, and when the goods were below, I slowly grabbed the rope and jumped down the hole, stepping on the wall of the cave a few times, and followed the fat man to the tomb.
When I got to the tomb, the temperature immediately dropped, and I pinned the flashlight to my head, then took off the rifle from my back and put it in my hand, just in case, and then gave up my position and let the people behind me follow.
Looking around, I found that this is actually a small burial chamber, about 50 square meters, to my surprise, there is nothing in the tomb, but there are some messy things hanging in the middle.
The fat man was now wandering around in front of the hanging things, and I walked over and looked at them, and saw that they were all iron hooks, and I couldn't help frowning.
If this is not inside the ancient tomb, I would think that this is the place where the vegetable market sells big meat, that is, beef, sheep and pork.
In the Ming Dynasty, because of the driving of the founding emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, if the people naturally did not dare to call pork, this word was a taboo, so since then, pork is called big meat and pork, and now many autonomous regions are also popular to call it so, because of ****** reasons, a few famous areas also call pork big meat.
The large and small hooks in the row, I knew at a glance that they must be hanging meat, but I don't know what kind of meat is hanging, this is an ancient tomb, and there is no sacrifice in the ancient tomb, so I think these things may be criminal detention.
"Fatty, did you find anything?" I walked up to the fat man and said as I looked at the hooks hanging from above.
"I didn't find anything, but this hanging rod for drying meat is pretty good, and the bronze ones seem to be, we can bring back a few." The fat man touched the hooks and said.
"You say you hang people directly from the neck, what does it feel like?" I am reminded of a scene in an online game, the game of the butcher and the fugitive, which is very bloody and exciting.
The fat man was stunned for a moment, obviously did not react, and then instinctively took his hand back, and then said: "It's not so perverted, do you mean that these are not hooks for drying meat, but torture?" Well...... It's also possible, isn't there any ten great tortures in the Manchu Dynasty, I think that thing is quite violent, skinning and cramping the living or something. ”
I couldn't help but purse my lips, and then said: "This was originally a torture detention, how could anyone dry beef jerky in the ancient tomb, at that time, human life was like that, in the eyes of the powerful, it was even less real than cattle and sheep." ”
Yan Jing and the others have already come down, just in case, let a guy stay outside to control the wind, don't let the kind of tourists who like exciting adventures get in, and besides, they can also cooperate with the inside and outside, in case we can't get out of this ancient tomb, there is someone who can move the rescuers.
The rations and water we brought with us were able to last for about a week, and if there was a fresh water source in the tomb, it would not be a big problem to last for a month.
After all, the human body consumes the most water every day, and normal adults should drink at least 2,500 milliliters of water every day, most of which is obtained through direct drinking water, and only a small part can be ingested through food.
So now each person carries about two liters of water, there is no problem to save some drink to support a week, if there is a fresh water source in this ancient tomb, then it can be longer, many times the tomb robbers in the ancient tomb are not actually starved to death, but thirsty to death.
So if we don't get out of the tomb for a week, the guy can go and move the rescuers, and if we can get us out of the tomb, it depends on what's in the tomb......
When I was at the entrance of the thief cave before, I had already told him to wait for us to go down and find some paper leaves to cover the thief hole, so that it would be a lot more natural and not eye-catching, after all, many aerial photography enthusiasts are now very fantastical to shoot around with remote control planes in the wild, and it is not good if they are photographed.
"Criminal detention ......" After Yan Jing walked over, she said softly, it seems that her views are the same as mine, unlike the fat man's head is full of bacon.
"Sister Jing, look at it, how can there be such a very professional torture in this ancient tomb, logically speaking, it is enough to deal with those craftsmen and slaves who build ancient tombs, it is enough to use a whip, there is no need to make such a set of things, this thing is simply for torturing people." I looked at Yan Jing who came over and said.
She is a doctor of archaeology, the kind of mobile tomb encyclopedia, the last time I was in the Warring States Tomb in Tibet, I already felt how hard Yan Jing's professional quality was, but what I didn't expect at the time was that she actually had a big star sister named Yao Yuan.
"This kind of corporal punishment of torture, in fact, there was a long time ago, our Chinese historical materials recorded civilization is 5,000 years, but as early as a million years ago, human beings have mastered the use of fire technology, 20,000 years ago, human beings have invented bows and arrows, and 7,000 years ago, there was Yangshao culture, since that time, human beings have been able to master the utensils skillfully, and this kind of corporal punishment tools, began to appear about 4,000 years ago, the purpose is the same as the Qing Dynasty, that is, to torture people and extract confessions." Yan Jing looked at these curved hooks hanging on the top of the tomb and said.
And in addition to these hooks, there are a few molds in the corner of the wall, it looks a bit like the kind of plough used to plough the field, I really have no interest in these punishments, I may not be contaminated with how many souls, too evil, there must be no good thing to take on the body, I don't have the fat man's kind of dead jade can suppress these evil spirits, or don't take subtlety, I looked at the fat man, the fat man suddenly shook his head, if these are the hooks for drying meat, the fat man must take a few back to treasure it, and there is a certain practical value.
But if these barbs are hanging, then the fat man must not be interested, although the fat man's taste is quite heavy, but it has not been heavy to this extent.
