It took only a quarter of an hour for the four lads to remove the roof of the pigsty. The tiles were neatly stacked one by one on the corner of the wall on the right side of the courtyard gate, and the rows were tied to the courtyard wall on the left side of the courtyard gate one by one.

Captain Ma and the two young men used shovels to clean the pigsty of the mud and pig feces.

The innermost two square meters of the pigsty is relatively dry, and there is some straw on the ground.

Captain Ma used a shovel to remove the straw, and the four young men dug it up with a shovel, and when the soil was dug to a shovel depth, a layer of plastic sheeting appeared underneath.

Dig up all the soil and lift up the plastic sheeting, and then you can see that there are four layers of plastic sheeting.

Spread four layers of plastic cloth to prevent water from seeping into the pit below, pigs eat and drink urine all in the pigsty, waterproof work must be done.

The area of plastic sheeting is about 2.5 square meters.

After digging down a shovel of soil, a stone slab appeared.

After Captain Ma and the two young men dug up all the earth, eight stone slabs were presented in front of everyone's eyes.

Lifting all the stone slabs, there was a pit about two meters long and about one meter wide - about two square meters large, and in the middle of the pit there was a wall thirty centimeters thick made of green bricks, so that one large pit became two relatively small pits. Each pit is about one meter long and eighty-five centimeters wide. The length of each slab is about 90 centimeters and the width is about 30 centimeters.

In the pit on the east side, there are three vegetable jars with a diameter of about 50 centimeters (people can only see the diameter of the jars when they stand on them), and in the pit on the west side, there are two red wooden boxes about 70 centimeters long and 40 centimeters wide (people can only see the length and width of the wooden boxes when they stand on them).

Under the command of Captain Ma, the four young men first lifted two wooden boxes out of the pit (only then did they see that the depth of the pit was about one meter), and then carefully lifted the three jars out of the pit.

The height of the wooden box is about 60 centimeters, and the height of the jar is about 70 centimeters. Each jar was covered with a stone slab.

The four lads had lifted the wooden box and jar to the open space in front of the kitchen door, and then stepped aside.

Ouyang Ping and Liu Dayu opened the lids of the two wooden boxes first.

Everyone was stunned, and the three experts were even more amazed. Inside the wooden box are bronze objects. The bronzes have a more pronounced layer of green patina.

Liu Dayu and Yan Jianhua moved the two bronzes out of the wooden box one by one.

The three professors immediately gave the answer: two bronzes, one is a bronze tripod and the other is a bronze Yi. The bronze tripod is used to remember, and the bronze Yi is used for sacrifice. The bronze tripod is placed on the court, and the bronze Yi is placed in the temple.

Tomb No. 1 has only one bronze tripod, and tomb No. 2 has a bronze Yi in addition to a bronze tripod. This is the main reason why the three professors were amazed.

The three professors put on gloves and carefully admired the patterns and characters on the artifacts around the bronze tripod and bronze Yi.

The patterns on the bronze tripod are very rich: primitive and quaint geometric patterns, as well as some hollow, round, oval, dotted and linear patterns.

The words on the bronze tripod are all seals. Professor Gu said that the bronze tripod recounts the major events that took place in the country. The bronze Yi records the time of the sacrifice and the content of the sacrifice. The content of the bronze tripod fully shows that the dynasty in which the bronze tripod is located is the Eastern Han Dynasty. From this, it can be seen that the owner of the tomb was at least a princely figure. The two bronzes, together with the jade seal, the gold seal and the bronze sword donated by Xiang Chaodong, the identity of the owner of the tomb has been very clear.
