Wilderness Palace Chapter 8 Prairie Tombs
The winter in the Inner Mongolia prairie is very cold, especially after the sun sets at night, people who are frozen don't want to go out for half a step, and they can really freeze out of ice lumps at once with spitting. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Zhang Debao's family is very poor, the torn cotton clothes on his body were sent by the government a few years ago, and now there are several holes, as for the gloves, there are no gloves, so he can only use a rope to tie the kitchen knife around his waist, and then he can put his hand in the cotton pocket as warmth.
The place where the ancient tomb was found is very familiar to the locals, although it is an endless prairie, but occasionally dozens of miles are still close to seeing a small hillside and a half, and this ancient tomb is also under an inconspicuous small hillside.
It stands to reason that the tombs of the ancient Mongolians were very particular, and people did not set up tombstones at all, and it was difficult for future generations to find them, even if they were veteran tomb robbers who had been robbing tombs for many years, it was difficult to see them.
But this person can't see the things animals can often "see" out, how to say, Zhang Debao a neighbor of his family, and he is completely different, diligent very, normal people will only graze near the house, this day is cold and the grass is withered and yellow, and there is no one to graze, and this neighbor, the locals call him the old cow head, people are like his surname, like a cow as pragmatic and diligent, grazing will also go to more than ten miles away.
More than ten miles away from the pasture because the herdsmen live far away, except for the old cow head few people will go there to graze, so that place is also a place of abundant water and grass, the old cow head of the sheep is very obedient, as long as you rush to the place, you don't have to care, you just go to sleep next to it, until the sheep are full of food and drink, there will be a sheep to gently push the old cow head with the horns, that is, to tell him that it is time to go home.
In the autumn of this year, the grass on the grassland had withered and yellowed, and the grass in this grassland was the same, but on weekdays there were few people, and the remaining grass was enough for his sheep to eat until the winter. The old bull head is more than sixty years old, although diligent, but this body really can't keep up with his own thoughts, driving the sheep down these ten miles, is also tired enough, watching the sheep go to graze, the old cow head on the ground fluttered a wool blanket, ready to sleep.
The autumn wind is full of coolness, especially the wind that sticks to the ground, blowing along your neck collar, not to mention how biting, a gust of wind blows, just blowing into the old bull's clothes, the old bull's head blows a spirit, it is considered that he can't sleep, put away the wool blanket and rub his eyes to look at his flock, because the grass does not hide, still eating grass there, obviously not full, the old cow head looked at the unfed sheep and sighed, this sleep can not sleep, simply sit on the ground and light the pipe, ready to smoke it a bag of cigarettesto relieve the chill.
Wisps of green smoke came out of the mouth of the pipe, and disappeared by the autumn wind, through the faint green smoke, the old bull's little eyes glanced ahead, and found that something was wrong, his sheep were eating grass in Fujian 100 meters, and occasionally ran back farther with wit, but they were all within this line of sight, but a meadow very close to her, there was obviously a lot of grass on it, but there was no sheep eating grass on it, it was really strange.
The old bull head didn't care about smoking, he knocked his pipe and threw it on the ground to see what was going on, the pasture was less than thirty meters away from the place where the old cow head was resting, usually the old cow head was grazing sheep in this area, here today and there tomorrow, and there was a small hill blocking it, and he didn't notice that there was such a place.
When the sheep saw the old bull head walking around, they thought they were going home, so they all bleated around, and the old cow head kicked and scolded his mother a few times, and then drove the sheep away, and he squatted on the grassland alone and didn't know what the situation was.
The old bull head has lived on the grassland for decades, and he has heard a lot about the big and small things on the grassland, but he has never encountered such a situation. The old bull head muttered and pulled up a handful of half-clear and half-yellow grass, put it in his hand and squinted it with his eyes, he didn't feel anything abnormal, and sniffed it with his nose, only to feel that the smell of this grass was wrong, the smell of grass was very different from that of the grass that had been cut on weekdays, and the grass in his hand now obviously had a strange smell, but he didn't know what the smell was, so he could only throw the grass away, and shouted at the sheep to go home.
This matter has been a long time, it is close to the end of the year, the nephew of the old cow head in the city or something took advantage of the year to go back to the grassland to see the old cow head, the old cow head usually has few people at home, now there are many more people in the yurt, it is very lively, and he is also quite happy, whether it is the Northeast liquor bought from the market or the horse ** wine made by his own family, one by one to pour into the stomach, no one persuaded it is useless, just shouting the word happy.
The elders toasted the younger generations how embarrassed to refuse, and they had to be respectful as they were to obey their lives, and they were also top-heavy in drinking, and the men didn't talk much on weekdays, but as soon as the wine entered the stomach, it was like changing a person, and the old men at the table were bragging, scrambling, for fear that their words would be covered by the words of others, and the whole yurt was also shaken by the sound.
The younger generations are still respectful to the old bull head before drinking, but after this confusion, no matter who you are, even if it is the king of heaven Lao Tzu can't stop himself from talking, everyone talks about their own thing, and they are happy, although the old cow head is also so lively, but he has been herding sheep on the grassland for many years, and there is nothing to say, he still can't understand what everyone says, he can't interject, he can only stare at him in a hurry, but he can't make a sound in his mouth!
The old bull head is not a good stubble, seeing that the juniors are so "presumptuous" in their own homes, they are very unhappy, and they slapped the table a few times, which is as loud as the sky, which can be regarded as a warning to the people below, and the juniors know the situation, so they quickly shut up and wait for the old bull head to speak.
The old bull was also overjoyed when he saw this, but he looked at the head of the table and twisted it to him, and he was speechless for a while, and he didn't know what to say. I told me about the incident I found out when I was herding sheep a month or two ago. The old bull head is stupid, and he tells a good story in a mess, and the younger generations listen to it is also full of clouds and mountains, and they don't know what to do, in order to satisfy the temper of the old man, they also pretend to applaud and express their fun.
This is said as a joke, but it is not the case when some people hear it, there is such a person on the table, thick eyebrows and big eyes, one meter and eight big, not yet a relative of the old bull head, the specific point should be called his future niece and son-in-law, this person is amazing, very gentlemanly, not easy to drink, everyone else at the table is already top-heavy, only he is still sober, others listen to the old bull head say this, just as a joke and a smile is over. But this guy understands people, knows that there must be articles here, although he pretends to be confused at the wine table, and applauds and shouts, but his heart is like a mirror, and he remembers every word that the old bull said clearly, and reported the matter to the city leaders the next day after returning home.
The leaders of the city also don't know anything about this thing, but listening to this guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, it seems to have some truth, but he still doesn't know what's going on, so he simply reported to his superiors again.
Higher-level leaders are also a "rice bucket," and they have not accomplished a single major thing since they took office; seeing that the whole country is engaged in the economy in a big way, but their own management of this local economy is very sluggish, and they are also worried to death; this is not easy to hear that there is such a strange thing, how dare they miss it, and they sent a telegram to the central authorities overnight to report on his "achievements" over the past year.
The local people don't understand the situation, but there are a lot of talents in the center, just listening to this few words, it is expected that there must be ancient tombs under this grassland, because there are only tombs underground, and the soil composition in it is completely different from other places, so the composition of the plants growing on the ground must be different from other places, and people can't feel it, but animals have been eating grass for many years, and they will know what grass is suitable for eating and what grass is not suitable for eating.
Approaching the end of the year, the central government made urgent arrangements and sent an archaeological team of more than 10 people to do the previous troops, first to investigate, if there is really an ancient tomb, and then develop it after the year. The central government sent so many people to the prairie at once, which was unprecedented, and everyone on the prairie didn't know what was going on, but they found it interesting and followed the archaeological team to see what was going on.
The old bull boss didn't know what it meant, but occasionally heard some news that seemed to be related to him, and then he seemed to react to something, but he was also very happy, and he lived for more than 60 years, which can be regarded as doing a thing for the Party Central Committee and making a contribution, but this is all his own thoughts, and no one will think so.
The archaeological team dispatched a lot of labor from the local area to help excavate, Zhang Debao was also among them, but he was still lazy to do, worked for three days, earned five yuan, patted his ass and left, but after he left, and then excavated, the prototype of the ancient tomb was gradually revealed, and everyone present, including archaeologists, was surprised, the ancient tomb of the Mongolian people has always been difficult to find, this time it took much effort to find such a big tomb, which is also a great blessing for the national archaeological work, but in order to protect the ancient tomb, The archaeological team gave a dollar to everyone who watched the excitement at the scene, which was counted as a hush money, so that the locals could remember that the ancient tomb was a grassland and a country, but they must not say it. "The archaeological team is also going home for the Chinese New Year, and half of the excavated tomb is placed there.
