Chapter 123: Night Robbery Tomb
After dinner the next day, since it was Sunday, the students had already begun to return to school one after another, and the campus suddenly became lively.
Zhou Hua ordered two dishes alone in the school snack bar, drank a bottle of Erguotou, and thought about his thoughts.
The faces of Zhang Han, Li Wei, and Yao Gang kept appearing and changing in his mind. Looking up and seeing the hill outside the school, it was already dark and gloomy in the twilight, and an evil thought suddenly appeared in Zhou Hua's mind.
Zhou Hua took a sip of wine, a mysterious smile appeared on his face, stood up and paid the bill, and walked briskly towards the school gate.
While walking, looking at the dark and secluded hills, Zhou Hua let out a sneer from time to time that was not easy to detect. At this moment, in Zhou Hua's eyes, the dark and secluded hill seemed to be the tomb where Yao Gang was buried.
In front of the commissary opposite the small hotel, Zhou Hua stopped, bought a pack of cigarettes, opened and lit them, and took a few puffs.
After a while, I saw a man and two women walking out of the small hotel, and by the street lights, Zhou Hua could see clearly, it was Li Bing, Zhao Wan'er and Shi Liya.
Zhou Hua felt an inexplicable sour feeling in his heart, looking at the three of them hatefully, he guessed that it must be Li Bing who accompanied the two beauties to the town to go shopping to pass the loneliness.
Finally, less than ten minutes after Li Bing and the other three left, Zhou Hua saw Qian Yiduo quietly walk out of the small hotel and came to the off-road vehicle parked in the alley next to the small hotel.
Zhou Hua devised a plan to kill Yao Gang, and he wanted to take advantage of Yao Gang's penchant for collecting cultural relics to lure Yao Gang to the opposite hill full of graves, so that he would disappear into the world without a sound.
Although Zhou Hua himself does not understand cultural relics, he does not know where to dig ancient tombs. But he was smart, and after secret observation, he found that among Li Bing and his party, Qian Yiduo, who was good at tomb robbing, had always gone out quietly after night alone in recent days. Zhou Hua concluded that Qian Yiduo must be looking for an ancient tomb that could be stolen and excavated. Therefore, he decided to quietly follow Qian Yiduo and use the ancient tomb he found to lure Yao Gang into taking the bait.
Although it is almost the end of the month, there is no moon in the sky, but under the faint starlight, the outlines of people and objects can be vaguely distinguished. This is a good time to track, it is easy to keep an eye on Qian Yiduo, and he will not easily let Qian Yiduo find out.
Qian Yiduo quietly looked around, and seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he took out a bundle of ropes and a Luoyang shovel from the trunk of the off-road vehicle and some necessary small things.
After Qian Yiduo packed his belongings in a sack, he put it on his back, looked around for a while, and swaggered towards the mountain behind.
Climbing up a small hill, Qian Yiduo stopped and looked around carefully for a while. Only then did he untie the sack from his back and take out the Luoyang shovel from it.
That night, there was not a hint of wind, and the hillside was so quiet that you couldn't even hear the sound of cars on the road on the other side of the mountain.
Less than ten zhang away from a big stone, Qian Yi looked at it for a while, and finally inserted the Luoyang shovel into the soil. He stepped on the Luoyang shovel with his foot, and then hooked out the dirt with all his might.
Qian Yiduo took out a shimmering flashlight from his pocket, carefully discerned the soil for a while, and smiled excitedly. Based on experience, Qian Yiduo knew that his judgment was correct, and under his feet should be a tomb at least during the Republic of China.
Qian Yiduo extinguished the flashlight, lit a cigarette, and turned back and forth on the side more than a dozen times. Finally, he extinguished the cigarette butt and began to dig hard.
After more than an hour, Qian Yiduo had dug a vertical hole nearly three meters deep, and the mouth of the hole was also full of excavated soil.
After Qian Yiduo crawled out of the hole, he suppressed the excitement in his heart. He took out a ball of white cloth from the sack, folded a branch as thick as half an arm, and took out a small plastic bucket filled with diesel.
Qian Yiduo wrapped a layer of white cloth around the branches, poured a few drops of diesel fuel in the small plastic bucket on it, and after a while, a torch was ready.
Qian Yiduo took out a lighter, lit the torch, and when he put it at the entrance of the cave, he felt that the fire began to deflect into the cave, so he threw the torch into the hole.
Looking at the fire coming from the cave, Qian Yiduo was overjoyed: there was no poisonous gas in this tomb, and there was plenty of oxygen.
It's just that the air coming from the entrance of the cave is faintly mixed with a foul smell. Qian Yiduo took out a piece of cloth, opened the sack, took out a bottle of pure water, poured it on the white cloth, and covered his mouth and nose.
Qian Yiduo looked around, found a sturdy tree, tied one end of the rope firmly to the tree, and the other end was tied to his waist, and began to slowly slide down the hole.
After a while, Qian Yiduo passed through the narrow thief hole, and suddenly felt that there was no support around. Qian Yiduo was secretly happy in his heart, and finally entered the tomb.
He slowly grasped the rope and continued to slide down, estimating that it was more than two feet away, before his feet touched the ground.
The torch was still burning in the ground, about to be extinguished. Qian Yiduo untied the rope around his waist, took out a small emergency light, and turned on the switch, only then did he see clearly that this was a huge dome-shaped tomb.
Qian Yiduo's feet were scattered with a dozen green bricks and some dirt, which he had just fallen from digging through the roof of the tomb. The floor of the burial chamber is also paved with neat blue bricks, and the surrounding area is also made of blue bricks, forming a huge dome.
In the middle of the burial chamber is a large wooden coffin. There were some clay pots scattered on the side, and not far away, there was a pile of white bones.
Qian Yiduo looked at the white bones carefully and confirmed that this was the skeleton of a horse, and he was very curious: such a huge tomb, although it cannot be compared with the tomb of the king and the general, it will never be an ordinary person.
The coffin was intact, but the thick layer of vermilion lacquer on it began to peel off a little. Why are the burial goods just clay pots and not gold and silver? Qian Yiduo felt a little lost and depressed in his heart.
In particular, he was puzzled by how the bones of a horse could appear in the tomb. Could it be that the horse was a burial object for the owner of the tomb?
When Qian Yiduo thought of this, he began to get a little excited again. He thinks that since the Republic of China, basically no one will use horses to accompany the burial, so this ancient tomb should be some age, it is estimated that it is in the late Qing Dynasty.
Qian Yiduo looked around the coffin a few times, and vaguely saw a few words "Da Qing Shun....General". Qian Yiduo thought for a while, and couldn't help but be ecstatic. This is a tomb of a general during the Shunzhi period of the Qing Dynasty.
As for why this tomb appeared in this hill, Qian Yiduo naturally didn't understand. He guessed that maybe it was a general who died in battle, and because of the urgency of the military situation, he hurriedly repaired the tomb. If this is the case, it is not surprising that there are no valuable burial goods in the tomb, and it is even more reasonable that the bones of the horse appeared: it was the general's war horse during his lifetime, and after the general's death, it became a funeral object.
Qian Yiduo estimated that there should be something valuable around the owner of the coffin, and he couldn't help but get excited. He observed the coffin for a while, and skillfully used the Luoyang shovel to pry open a few thick coffin nails. Because the coffin was already somewhat rotten, it was easy to pry it open, and it was expected that it would cost a lot of money.
There was a dull loud noise, smashing the floor of the tomb and trembling a few times, the heavy and coffin lid had already made Qian Yiduo pry open and fall to the ground, smashing several green bricks on the ground, and the coffin lid was also cracked into two pieces, one large and one small.
Qian Yiduo was so strange that the coffin that was opened was actually covered with a layer of white mist.
Qian Yiduo picked up the torch that had fallen on the ground and was about to be extinguished, and slowly stretched out towards the white mist. I saw that the layer of white mist immediately broke a big hole and drooped in the coffin.
Qian Yiduo shot into the coffin with an emergency light, only to see a corpse lying in armor inside.
Although his face was covered with a wet white cloth, Qian Yiduo still smelled the stench emanating from the coffin.
The light shone on the head of the corpse, and under the black helmet, a terrifying face was reflected in Qian Yiduo's eyes.
It could be seen that it was a dried corpse, and the muscles on its face had completely atrophied, but it was not rotting. The two eye sockets were sunk deeply, and two rows of white Sensen's teeth were exposed in the gaping mouth.
Qian Yiduo knelt down and bowed a few times to the owner in the coffin. When he stood up after worshipping, he began to carefully examine the situation in the coffin.
Suddenly, a black and round thing crawled out of the corpse's mouth, Qian Yi was so shocked that he hurriedly picked up the Luoyang shovel and killed the disgusting thing that was trying to climb out of the coffin.
Qian Yiduo clearly saw that the thing he shot to death splashed out a puddle of green liquid. It turned out to be a huge spider.
Qian Yiduo understood at this time, it turned out that when he first opened the coffin lid, the layer of white mist he saw turned out to be the spider web woven by this huge spider.
After setting up the god's money, he swept the coffin with a torch to make sure that there were no other living creatures, and then began to relax his heart.
After seeing the armor on the corpse, Qian Yi was overjoyed, such a complete set of armor of a Qing Dynasty general was an absolute rarity.
On the head of the general's corpse was a seal-like thing on the left, and a short sword on the right.
