Chapter 20: A Bug
"If the owner of this skeleton is a martyr, who would he be?" The pangolin crouched next to the bones and said. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Human martyrdom was prevalent in China's slave society, especially in the middle and late periods, slaves were martyred to slave owners or people of high status, and at the same time, wives and concubines were martyred for their husbands, which was "slaves were martyred, and wives and concubines were martyred".
Judging the identity of the martyr is helpful in judging how much wealth may be buried in this palace.
"I think, even if this is a martyr, it shouldn't be a Qin country, he should be a Qi country, this palace is the palace of the king of Qi, which symbolizes the hometown of Qi, symbolizes the conquered Qi country, and this palace is also included." I reasoned that it was a pity that the clothes on the skeleton had deteriorated badly, and we couldn't figure out what the difference was between the costumes of the Qi State and the costumes of the Qin State more than two thousand years ago.
"There is a way." The pangolin groped for a clue on the body of the bones, hoping to find some clues, and sure enough, he groped out a short weapon from the bones, a bronze dagger, exquisitely made, and even the ornaments on the dagger were clearly recognizable, a fierce eyelid.
The pangolin tried to pull the dagger out of the scabbard, tried several times, and finally pulled out the dagger with great force, the bronze dagger did not rust and died in the scabbard, the dagger was still new, and there were no obvious signs of use.
"You see, this should be the master's name." The pangolin pointed to the dagger and approached the handle, and the words engraved on the dagger ridge showed me.
Although Qin seals are not common, some Qin seals are very similar to modern characters, and I know that it is the word "degree", so I said: "'degree', the owner of the dagger is called 'degree', then this corpse should belong to this person called 'degree'." ”
"Only a name doesn't represent his identity, what's the use, it's just a craftsman." Old K disdainfully said.
Most craftsmen had no status in ancient times, even if this craftsman was equivalent to a modern engineer, but he was still in the lower echelons of society, belonging to the status of ordinary laborers, such a craftsman could have any very valuable burial, and besides, he himself was a martyrdom.
"No, look at this dagger, its sophistication is definitely not a self-defense knife that ordinary people can have." Pangolin shows us.
Indeed, although the dagger is not inlaid with gems and jade, it is very delicate, and it is a rare bronze, if it is this corpse, then its identity will definitely not be a craftsman, at least a nobleman of the Qi country.
I crouched down to look at the bones, and the pangolin stuffed the dagger into my backpack: "Keep it for yourself." ”
I looked at the bones, and the bones all over my body were basically black, and I could tell that there was something attached to the bones, and it was too old to turn black, not that the bones themselves were black.
"How can his bones be black?" I wondered.
"Hey, what's so curious about this, if you put your bones for more than two thousand years, they will turn black, and even decay so much that even ashes will not be left." Old K was a little impatient to waste time here and said to me, then pointed to the corpse mark on the throne and said, "At most, I will leave a trace." ”
"There's no denying it, but you look closely at every black bone on the bones." I glanced at Old K, he really talked too much nonsense.
"Yes, this corpse seems to be an abnormal legacy, not the result of natural decay, the bones are attached to the flesh, after thousands of years, first dried in the shade, then mildew, and finally seems to be charred, together with the bones." Pangolins are still squatting for study.
"It's unnatural, it's normal, the undertaker dies unnaturally." Yang Gang didn't see anything, after all, no one is a forensic doctor and has this kind of experience.
I felt that pangolins might be based on the experience of bones that I had seen.
"Abnormal ......" I pondered thinking about the pangolin's prompt, and suddenly had a sense of foreboding, exclaiming, "It's not good, it must be the bloodthirsty golden turtle, this bone is what the bloodthirsty golden turtle eats, and the attachment on the bone is the leftover meat." ”
"Ahh Lao K was very afraid of death, and when he heard the corpse shell, he hurriedly pretended to be afraid and hid by Shangguan Yaxiong's side.
Shangguan Yaxiong glared at Lao K, but Lao K didn't dare to approach and kept his distance.
When everyone heard me say that the bones were leftover from the bloodthirsty turtles, they all turned on their flashlights to look around, and I was also looking for them, one or two bloodthirsty turtles were not terrible, what was terrible was the bloodthirsty turtles that appeared in groups, pounced, like swarms of man-eating ants, swarms of piranhas.
I sensed something strange and turned the flashlight back on the bones, and the crouching pangolin looked at me and pointed to the tattered clothes of the bones for me to see, and the flashlight shone on the tattered clothes, and a golden reflection appeared, and I couldn't help but shout, "Ah, the bloodthirsty golden turtle." ”
"Shell Lang, where?" Everyone looked back at me, and I pointed to the bones, and all eyes were on the bones, and they saw a golden beetle, screaming and turning its head and running, which even scared me and almost ran with them.
"Just one, I'm afraid of a fart!" The pangolin shouted.
"That's right, it's just one, I'm afraid of a hair, it should be afraid of me!" I turned my head back to the bones and crouched down like a pangolin to get a closer look at the bloodthirsty golden turtle.
"A miraculous creature, its carapace is as bright as gold." I said to the pangolin in amazement.
"Hehe, many creatures have beautiful and seductive appearances, don't you know that this is a trap it has set and a means of making a living." Pangolins seem to look at the animal world or humans and nature, and are well aware of the role of their appearance.
The bloodthirsty beetle crawled out of its clothes, and seemed to have been hidden here for a long time, with its six legs propped up on its clothes, and its head poked high and high, as if it was sniffing like a dog.
"Can it smell a human being?" I asked the pangolin curiously.
The pangolin smiled lightly: "Hehe, I can't smell the human smell, but I can't smell the man." ”
After a night of manual labor, not to mention, at this time there was a strong smell of sweat on the body, all the way, a mind on the tomb robbery, did not pay attention to smell the smell of the body, at this time the pangolin reminded, I just smelled, it is indeed sweat smell.
"What's the situation, the Shell Lang really doesn't eat the living." Old K found that the pangolin and I did not run away, and when he turned around, he found that the two of us were squatting to study the bloodthirsty golden turtle, and the four of them came back and asked us.
"Just one, any of us can trample it to death by raising a foot casually, I'm afraid of a hair!" I said to Old K.
"Makes sense, how did I fall for it!" Old K approached and observed the bloodthirsty golden beetle.
"Such a small bug can eat people." Yang Gang said in detail.
"Man-eating ants are smaller than this, they eat people all the same, and they eat living people." I said to Yang Gang.
Yang Gang nodded: "That's right, it's said in many novels and movies, and that's how it was played in "Raiders of the Lost Ark". ”
The bloodthirsty turtle on the bones climbed down the bones, reached the ground, still looking for it, I stood up with the pangolin, but the bloodthirsty turtle crawled towards me, and the speed was extremely fast, comparable to the speed of Xiaoqiang, I was startled, and then dodged.
I dodged, and the bloodthirsty turtle immediately changed direction and crawled towards the pangolin, who removed the shovel from its backpack and slapped it towards the bloodthirsty turtle crawling towards him, pressing the shovel and not lifting it for a long time.
"Did you win?" I asked the pangolin.
The pangolin was not sure, and slowly lifted the shovel, but the golden bloodthirsty golden turtle was not dead, or the pangolin did not hit the shovel.
"Damn, you can't beat Xiaoqiang." Old K shouted, looking left and right for the guys.
The bloodthirsty turtle continued to run towards him at the moment when the pangolin raised the shovel, and was about to reach his feet in front of him, and the opportunity to shoot another shovel had been lost, so he had to raise his foot to step on it, because the speed of the bloodthirsty turtle was too fast, the pangolin's foot was empty, and the pangolin had no choice but to dodge.
As soon as the pangolin dodged, the bloodthirsty golden turtle immediately ran towards Lao K, and Lao K didn't have a guy in his hand, so he simply dodged first, and the bloodthirsty golden turtle then rushed to Shangguan Yaxiong.
"Die!" Shangguan Yaxiong stared at the rushing bloodthirsty golden turtle and scolded, raised his foot to calculate the distance, and stepped down suddenly, a squeezing disgusting sound came out, and Shangguan Yaxiong hit the target.
"Hit!" I exclaimed.
Shangguan Yaxiong nodded and smiled: "Of course, just such a little bug, a group of big men can't handle it, and I have to go out in person." ”
Shangguan Yaxiong sneered, making several of our men ashamed, and turned their faces away and didn't dare to face this tough woman.
