708. Chapter 708 The Seven Things in the Jar

"The light inside is okay, I can see things."

Ouyang Ping nodded at Liu Wenbin, and Liu Wenbin slowly walked down the soil steps into the cellar. Han Lingling handed a flashlight to Liu Wenbin's hand in case of emergency.

Liu Wenbin took the flashlight, bowed his head and bowed down into the cellar.

The height of the cellar is about 1.2 meters, and people can only squat half-way in the cellar; The cellar is about two square meters in size, and there is a five-meter-long passage in the middle, and on both sides of the passage is a railing enclosed with sticks, and some turnips, Chinese cabbage and potatoes are stacked in the balustrade. The potatoes were stacked in the innermost part of the cellar, about fifty or sixty centimeters high, and the area was about 0.5 meters.

Liu Wenbin picked up the yams on the Chinese cabbage next to him.

Ouyang Ping and Ma Dazhu squatted at the entrance of the cellar and looked inside, because the passage could only accommodate one person, so they could only go down one person.

After more than ten minutes, all the yams were picked up, and there was a straw mat on the ground, and Liu Wenbin lifted the straw mat, and there was soil underneath - the soil was not very compact.

"The stuff is right under the dirt, and when you dig through the dirt, there's a little jar underneath." Ma Dazhu said, "There is a pickaxe under these Chinese cabbages. Ma Dazhu pointed to a Chinese cabbage with a branch. The location of the bok choy is not far from the entrance to the cellar.

Liu Wenbin moved away a few cabbages, and there was indeed a pickaxe underneath.

This pickaxe is smaller than a regular hoe, and the shape of the pickaxe is a bit like the one used to dig the earth, but it is wider than the head of the pickaxe. The handle of this pickaxe is very short, about forty-five centimeters long; The head of the pickaxe was a little rusty, and Yoo Wenbin picked up the pickaxe and tried the blade with the thumb of his left hand, and it felt as sharp as a kitchen knife.

Obviously, this pickaxe should be a tool for digging the thief hole, and after determining the location of the thief hole, the rest of the work depends on this pickaxe.

Liu Wenbin threw away the soil with a pickaxe, and when it was 20 centimeters deep, a wooden board appeared, and Liu Wenbin removed the soil from the wooden plank, lifted the wooden plank, and there was an irregular pit underneath, and in the middle of the pit was placed a small jar with a diameter of 25 centimeters -- there was a lid on the jar -- the lid was tied to the mouth of the can with a piece of plastic sheeting.

Liu Wenbin held the jar, half-squatting, cat-waisted, and slowly moved out of the cellar mouth.

Ouyang Ping took the jar from Liu Wenbin's hand.

Han Lingling pulled Liu Wenbin out of the cellar.

Ouyang Ping put the jar on the ground, squatted on the ground, untied the rope tied to the mouth of the jar, and then poured the contents of the jar to the ground in one go.

There were seven things poured out of the jar: a silver lock, a string of hand beads, a jade bracelet, a gold collar, and a barrel of jade—a little longer and thicker than a wrench—with some carved patterns on it—hollowed out in some places. A fan-shaped jade pendant, there is also an inkstone - the inkstone is carved around some landscape figures, the inkstone is about 15 centimeters long, about 10 centimeters wide, and about 3 centimeters high.

When everyone was about to leave Ma Dazhu's house, Ma Dazhu walked into the kitchen and whispered to his mother for a while.

After a while, the old man took out three things from under the firewood pile in the stove and handed them to Ouyang Ping. These three things were a Luoyang shovel and a bundle of rope ladders, which were exactly the same as the rope ladders that the comrades had brought up from the cracks in the stone of the quarry, and which were very worn-out in some places. There is also a special lamp similar to a horse lantern, which is supposed to be used after digging a hole and entering the tomb.
