"Didn't you say that the whole village was deserted, how could there still be people living here?" Seeing this, I said with some surprise.

Judging from the clothes drying on the bamboo poles, it should be an elderly person living here, and of course, it is also likely to be an old couple.

"I don't know, maybe the archaeological team members haven't seriously checked the village, after all, anyone who sees such a deserted village at a glance would never think that there are still people living here." Li Huiyan said.

"Then should we go over and knock on the door, maybe we can get some news about the tomb of the Eastern Han Dynasty." I said.

This village is so close to the tomb of the Eastern Han Dynasty that it was stolen and excavated, to say that the residents of this village did not know about the existence of the ancient tomb, I always think it is unlikely, and even the people who lived in this village before may be the descendants of the tomb keepers of the tomb of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

"Then go ahead and give it a try." Li Huiyan thought for a while and said.

It is not easy to see people living in such a deserted village, and if we can get some information about the ancient tombs from them, it will undoubtedly be of great help to our next archaeological operations.

"Do you think there is a strange mother-in-law living in this house, or a hermit master." Xiao Yue gave full play to his imagination and said.

"How can it be so exaggerated, it is estimated that it should be the kind of old man who has lived here all his life and refuses to move to a new house." I said.

Walking into the courtyard, we can already be sure that it is really inhabited, because on the left side of the yard there is a local dog on a leash, and on the right is a chicken coop with two local chickens.

There is not a single weed in the yard, and it is completely different from the world outside the yard, apparently because it is often cleaned up.

Before we could get close to the house, the dog, which was chained to the outside of the house, began to bark wildly, and the rusty chains were torn straight as if they might break at any moment.

"Is there anyone in the house?" Standing in the courtyard, I shouted a few times into the house.

After the sound came out, there was no response from the house, but the tethered earth dog barked more fiercely.

"Could it be that there is no one in the house?" Xiao Yue said.

"I'll knock on the door, you guys wait here." I said to the crowd and walked to the house myself.

Before I could reach the door, the closed door suddenly opened, and a thin old man with a cane, a beard estimated half a foot long on his chin, and a wrinkled face appeared.

The old man's clothes were very old, and the years of washing had made it a little whitish, and there were many patches, but they were neat and clean.

Judging from his appearance alone, the old man was estimated to be in his eighties, and his eyes were squeezed into a thin slit by the wrinkles of the ravines, but he looked quite energetic.

"Grandpa, are you the only one living here?" I walked up to the old man and asked.

Hearing this, the old man looked puzzled, and did not seem to understand what I was saying.

"What do you say?" The old man spoke, speaking in a very authentic Henan dialect.

I was stunned at this moment, knowing that there are still many elderly people in the countryside who can't understand Mandarin, let alone speak it.

Li Huiyan and a few people also walked up, and Dong Shuang said: "We are also sisters and brothers from Henan, let's ask." ”

After speaking, Dong Shuang communicated with the old man in a fluent Henan dialect.

The speed of the two of them was not too slow, and the old man was not very clear because of his age, so I couldn't understand what the two were saying after listening with my ears pricked up for a long time.

After a while, Dong Shuangcai turned his head to us and said: "The old man said that he is eighty-eight years old this year, and he has lived in this village all his life, and he originally had a son who was taking care of him, but he also fell ill and died the year before last, and the old man buried him himself, next to the bamboo forest we passed by just now." ”

Listening to Dong Shuang's words, I remember that when I was passing by the bamboo forest just now, I did see a small mound of earth surrounded by broken stones.

"In this case, then ask the old man if you know that there is an ancient tomb near here." I nodded and said.

Hearing this, Dong Shuang talked to the old man again, and then said: "The old man said that when he was a child, he heard the elders of the family mention it, saying that there were ten tombs near the village, but he had never seen them. ”

"Ten tombs? Could it be that the old man is mistaken, if there are so many large tombs near this village, there is no reason for those tomb robbers to dig up only one of them? I wondered.

"Maybe the tomb robbers didn't find any other tombs." Dong Shuang guessed.

"No way, if there were tombs near the village, those people would definitely be able to find them." I immediately denied Dong Shuang's speculation.

Dong Shuang, they don't know, it doesn't mean that I don't know the power of that tomb robbery group, if there is really an ancient tomb nearby, they can't find it.

"Those people? Zhang Sansan, do you know who those tomb robbers are? Dong Shuang asked.

"How could I possibly know, it's just speculation. You think, since those tomb robbers can find the tomb of the Eastern Han Dynasty king in the barren field where there is nothing, there must be a way to find other tombs. I quickly shook my head in denial.

"That's right." Dong Shuang nodded, and then talked to the old man a few more words.

"The old man said that he was not mistaken, and he did listen to the elders of the family when he was a child." Dong Shuang said again.

"That's weird, it doesn't make sense at all." Hearing Dong Shuang's affirmative reply, I was even more unsure.

Since there were really other ancient tombs near the village, there was no reason why the people of the tomb robber group would let go of such a good opportunity. Could it be that the other tombs are too small, and there are not as many burial goods as in this tomb? I speculated to myself.

"You don't need to ask, it must be because they have something urgent, or they are in a hurry to sell the stolen goods, and they don't have time to continue digging other ancient tombs." Xiao Yue said disapprerovingly.

"It's unlikely, but it's the only explanation." Li Huiyan said.

"How the hell did those tomb robbers find these tombs, the village is surrounded by fields overgrown with weeds, and there are no mounds of earth or anything like that, even if you have a keen eye, you can't see it." Dong Shuang asked with some curiosity.

"Maybe some of them know the art of feng shui." I said casually.

"What kind of feng shui tricks, those are all used by charlatans to deceive people, how can there be such a thing, I think it may be those people with metal detectors." Dong Shan said.

I didn't explain anything, if it was before going to Yaojia Village, I would definitely raise my hands in favor of what Dong Dan said. But after entering the Bai Qi Tomb and seeing the magical abilities of the old man and Yang Baichuan using the Nine-Character Dragon Shaking Technique, I no longer have the same thoughts as before.

Feng Shui does exist, but most people don't understand it.

"The old man lives here alone, he has no relatives, and he is so old, how do you ask him how he lives?" At this time, Li Huiyan spoke.

After a while, Dong Shuang, who had asked the old man, said: "The old man said that he would go to the field every day to dig some wild vegetables or something to eat, and occasionally catch some sparrows and pheasants. By the way, the old man also said that there was a river nearby, and he would go fishing for a few fish to eat when he had time. ”

"It's so pitiful, or we should give him some money." Xiao Yue said.

"What's the use of giving money, there are not many people living around here, and besides, the old man is so old, even if he gives him more money, he can't buy food." Li Huiyan said.

"Then what should I do, or let Director Liang buy some white rice flour or something when he goes back next time and send it over, and we will pay for it." Xiao Yue said.

Although Xiao Yue likes to mess around on weekdays, he is still very righteous and kind when he encounters this kind of thing.

After all, standing in front of us is an old man who is old and does not have much ability to survive, and can only barely survive by digging wild vegetables, and anyone who sees it will be unbearable.

It just so happened that at this time, Liang Yi called us, saying that he was going back to the research institute and asked us to go to the tomb by ourselves in the afternoon.

Li Huiyan told the old man about it on the phone, and asked him to bring some rice, flour, oil, salt or something by the way when he came back, and that's all we could do.

Saying goodbye to the old man, we returned to the camp, where there were already staff from the Institute of Archaeology lighting a fire in the open space to prepare lunch.

Life in the wild is naturally not as convenient as in the city, so even if you eat, you can't eat too well, and of course we follow the local customs.

At noon, we casually ate two steamed buns and some green vegetables, and we men and women went back to the tent to take a nap.

At about four o'clock in the afternoon, Liang Yi had not returned, and after waking up, everyone began to take tools and go to the tomb.

The air outside was unusually hot, but after going down to the ancient tomb, it completely changed the world, and it was still a little cold, and it was completely two worlds from the outside.

The flashlight is an indispensable tool for going down to the tomb, and with the experience of the last time in the Baiqi tomb, I simply asked the staff for a bag and brought four pairs of batteries at one time.

Compared with the rechargeable flashlight, this old-fashioned flashlight with batteries is slightly lacking in brightness, but it is deeper in the battery life, after all, the battery can be constantly replaced.

We had already been to the tomb in front of us once in the morning, and even the murals had been pried away, and there was nothing to look at, so our group walked directly to the tomb.

The length of this tomb is about 30 meters, and many decaying bones and burial goods can still be seen along the way.

I looked down at the burial objects, which were so decayed and dilapidated that they were impossible to see in their original appearance, and the possibility of restoration was almost zero, which was the fundamental reason why the staff of the archaeological institute who had been here for a long time did not take them away.

After walking for a while, we came to the main burial chamber, and at a glance we saw the stone platform in the middle of the burial chamber where the coffin was placed.

At this time, the stone platform was already empty, and the coffin had either decayed over the long years or had been stolen by the tomb robbers.

According to my guess, the latter is more likely, because there is no rotten and scattered wood on the stone platform, and if the coffin really rots by itself, it should leave a lot of rotting wood on the stone platform.

"Come and see, there's a mural here." Xiao Yue suddenly shouted loudly.

Mural? Hearing Xiao Yue's words, my first reaction was that she was talking nonsense.

From what I know about the tomb robbery group, if there were really mural carvings in the tomb, it would not have been possible to stay at all, and there were already carvings stolen from the tomb we passed through just now.

Having said that, all of us walked towards where Xiao Yue was, and soon saw that there was indeed a mural on the right wall of the main burial chamber.

After thousands of years, most of the murals have disappeared, but from the only remaining frescoes, you can still roughly see how exquisite the murals are.

The fresco is so large that it almost covers the wall to the right of the main burial chamber, and the total area is estimated to be thirty or forty square meters, which is perhaps the main reason why the mural has survived.

No matter how powerful those tomb robbers were, it was impossible for them to knock down such a large mural and transport it away, unless there was a large crane and other equipment, they would not be able to move it at all.

"The mural has started to oxidize, you can give a little light, but don't shine directly on the mural, I'll take a few photos first." Glancing at the mural, Li Huiyan said to us.

After a while, when Li Huiyan had taken the photo, I began to observe the mural carefully.

Now that most of the burial goods in the tomb have been stolen, it is likely that this mural is the only thing that can reveal the identity of the tomb's owner, and careful observation will help us in our graduation exams.

However, after observing the mural a few times, my whole brow couldn't help but wrinkle, the content of this mural is really a bit incomprehensible, and it is really a bit mysterious.
