When I first saw the cave at the excavation site of the archaeological team, I almost wanted to jump in to see what was going on. Could this be the culprit behind the jamming of the excavation progress? But from the general logic, in this case, you should work overtime to investigate the problem clearly, at least check down the thief hole to determine whether the tomb has been stolen, why did it stop instead? But it would be unreasonable to say that no one noticed the traces of these three robbery holes. What's going on down there? I hesitated, but decided to jump in and find out.

By this time it was already dark, and the visibility in the trapezoidal crater was not very high, so I habitually went to my trouser pocket, and then I remembered that the flashlight was left with the backpack for the fat man. So I had no choice but to go down another step in the dark, hand and foot. By the time I reached the bottom floor, it was already dark, and I couldn't see my fingers around, so I groped all the way from memory and finally climbed to the edge of the cave. I rolled up my sleeves, poked my arm into the hole, and touched the walls of the cave, and immediately felt that something was wrong. Generally, the cut surface of the thief hole is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, which is related to the way the human body exerts force. No matter how straight the shovel is, after all, it is not made by the machine, and there will be some unsmooth parts. I heard that there are veterans in this industry, and the height and age of the tomb robbers can be distinguished by the cross-section of the robbery hole. Although I don't have this ability, I still have the most basic common sense. Judging from the traces left on the cave wall, the direction of excavation should be from the inside to the outside, that is, this robbery hole was drilled from the bottom of the tomb upwards! I broke out in a cold sweat at what I found, and hurriedly pulled my hand out of the thief's hole, trying to get out of the place immediately. I don't know why, my nerves all over my body tensed, and my heart kept crying out that something was going to happen. So, I didn't care about 3721, I found a step and climbed up, only half of the climb, suddenly made a float under my feet, I don't know where a cold air blew from behind me, I shivered, couldn't help but turn around, only to see a black figure crawling on the steps under my feet, and pounced in the blink of an eye. I didn't have time to figure out who it was, so I swung my fist and slammed it hard, but I was actually flashed over. I had a huge pain in my abdomen, and he kicked me hard, holding my stomach with one hand and grabbing the other party with the other, but I was held down. I couldn't move all of a sudden, so I heard the other party's evil voice say: "Where did the thief come from, dare to break ground on grandpa's head!" -

As soon as I heard him speak, my heart calmed down. The one who can speak human words is definitely not a zongzi, and the talking zongzi has not yet been born, since it is a person, it is easy to communicate. When the man saw that I didn't react, the force in his hand was fierce, and I immediately felt pain, and cried out, feeling like the joint on my left arm was about to break.

"Eat potatoes tonight! - I endured the severe pain and shouted the slogan of the archaeological team. If the other party is on the team, he will definitely understand what I mean, and if not, this sound will also attract the guards standing guard. Sure enough, the man was slightly stunned when he heard my slogan, and then the strength of his subordinates increased unabated, almost tearing off my entire arm, he sneered and said: "Good boy, there are really some means, and you dare to pretend to be crazy and stupid." ”

"I**! You don't know the slogan, and you dare to pretend to be an uncle with me! -As soon as I saw that I couldn't beat it, I immediately started shouting, "Someone! Come on, there's a tomb robber breaking in! Everyone, copy the guys. "To be honest, I've been doing Captain Jin for so many years, and I never thought that I would have the opportunity to be so open-minded and cry out to catch thieves, and I instantly felt a little different happiness in my heart.

My roar caught the sentry's attention, and the four searchlights around the chamber lit up at the same time, and the sound of running was heard over our heads, and soon a human head appeared above the trapezoidal pit. I stared at the bright light, squinted my eyes and shouted, "Comrades, shoot at me!" Don't let this grave robber escape. ”

I saw that several of my teammates from the archaeological team, who were quick with their hands and feet, had jumped into the pit with shovels and hoes. And the old man who robbed the tomb that pressed me, wearing a black practice uniform, stepped on his shoes, and a pair of eagle-like eyes stared at my face. The most terrifying thing was his hands, which looked so dry and thin that they were like steel claws, so that people could not move.

At this time, a middle-aged man rushed up quickly with an iron pickaxe, and when he saw the posture in front of him, he immediately shouted: "Don't panic, Master Yu has caught the tomb robber!" The prisoner has already been charged by him. ”

"Who do you say is a tomb robber?" I looked at him in disbelief, "Aren't you going to eat potatoes tonight?" I followed Professor Li up the mountain. This man is a tomb robber, and he attacked me! -

"Wrong, wrong, your own people, all your own people! - Xiao Qian climbed down the steps in a panic, pointed at me and said, "Master Yu, he is Brother Hu of the expert group, and Brother Wei Guo brought it back." ”

Master Yu let out a -oh-oh-, slowly loosened my grip, and then shouted to the crowd that was gradually crowding behind him, "Let's all go back, make a false alarm." ”

Xiao Qian hurriedly helped me up and patted the dust on my clothes: "Didn't you say you were looking for Captain Jiang?" Why did you get into a fight with our Master Yu? Our Master Yu used to be on the national martial arts team, and ten ordinary people were not his opponents. ”

I secretly looked at Master Yu of this archaeological team, he was ruthless, his eyes were full of evil, and his intuition told me that he was not just a martial arts athlete.

When the middle-aged man who came to the rescue heard that I was brought by Professor Li, his attitude immediately became much more respectful, and he apologized to me while comforting Master Yu: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Wronged the VIP. In this kind of barren mountain and wild place, everyone is vigilant, I hope you can understand. The surname is Zhang, and he is the deputy captain of the archaeological team. I don't know what this gentleman is called? ”

"You can just call me Xiaohu." I rubbed my twisted arm and asked, "When was the thief hole found out here, and no one cares?" ”

When Deputy Captain Zhang heard the words "stealing the hole", his face immediately turned wrong. He turned back to the onlookers and said, "You go back first, and after dinner, you will have a political and ideological report meeting, everyone prepare your notes, and you will go back to check the score." He also sent away the small money that had been stunned, and then turned back to me meaningfully and asked, "How much do you know about the theft of the cave?" ”

I pondered that his words seemed to have a deep meaning, so I turned around and replied, "I have already grasped the basic situation." Unexpectedly, Master Yu sneered and said to Deputy Captain Zhang: "This little rabbit cub is very good. Don't worry, he doesn't know anything. ”

I thought to myself that there was something else going on, and immediately asked what had happened and why I had stopped the excavation. Deputy Captain Zhang smiled and said that the archaeological team has been engaged in ideological rectification in the past two days, and will resume work tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. I knew that his official rhetoric was unreliable, but I couldn't refute it, so I had to leave the scene in a gloomy manner, ready to discuss the matter with Shirley Yang and them. As soon as I climbed out of the trapezoidal pit, I was chased by Master Yu. I didn't feel good and said, "What, you still want to arrest me?" ”

The old man didn't say anything, but raised his right hand and threw something at me. I took it and took a look,**! It was actually a gold talisman, I looked down at my chest, and sure enough, it was empty, but I don't know when he took it away, and I didn't feel it at all. I was still thinking about how to justify the matter, and Master Yu sneered again: "Don't pretend." I used to be a Tufuzi, how could I not know when I touched the golden talisman. I was silent, and I couldn't understand whether he was going to take me or ask me out for tea.

"You look at your cuffs first, and then answer me when you think clearly."

I was puzzled by what he said, and hurriedly looked down at the sleeves I had rolled up, only to find that the cuffs were dyed dark red by something. I looked down to smell it, and I was choked on the sour smell. This taste is so familiar to me that I will never forget it for the rest of my life.

"It's corpse blood! Something in the hole? I took off my coat and asked, puzzled, "Now that you know why you ......-

Master Yu waved his hand: "This is not the place to talk, you come with me, and when you see Captain Jiang, you will understand everything." ”

After Master Yu finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards Captain Jiang's tent. I didn't have time to report to Shirley Yang and the others, and I was thinking about what I would say when I was tortured to extract a confession. However, it turned out that I had miscalculated the shape, and Master Yu didn't expose me at all, he knocked on the big gong that Captain Jiang hung at the door, and then led me straight into the tent.

The furnishings of this marching tent were much simpler than I had imagined, except for the marching bed, there was only a rectangular desk, and the table was scattered and scattered, mostly with various chemicals and counts that laymen could not read. As soon as I entered the tent, I was stared at by two hot eyes. Professor Li sat in the corner, and when he saw me enter the door, he didn't say hello, still with a straight face of a national food stamp.

"Jiangzi, pour me saliva." Master Yu swept the text on the table and rubbed it on the table with his own words.

"Master, why are you here? It was strange and lively outside just now! Are you messing with it again? "A man of five big and three thick came out of the darkness with an enamel jar in his hand.

Master Yu took the enamel jar, poured it up, and then pointed at me and said, "This kid has some ability, come with us in a while." Have you explained everything on the team? ”

"What is there to say, it's not that you won't come back, which unit is this comrade from?" Captain Jiang looked at me with interest, and seeing that I had not spoken, he turned his head and asked Professor Li, "Your museum?" ”

Professor Li nodded stiffly and said, "Someone else shoehorned it." If you want to use it, take it, I have no problem. ”

I listened inexplicably, wondering which one they were playing. _Captain Jiang took out a bulging backpack from under the marching bed, patted the ash and said, "It's better to come early than to come by chance, and I'm worried about missing one." Come on, come on, bring the things, let's leave as soon as the night falls. ”

I took the backpack and shook it in my hand, and immediately I heard the sound of iron colliding, which weighed much heavier than I had imagined. I unzipped the bag with one hand, and a pointed and round shovel head appeared in front of me, and I reached in and rummaged through it, and found that the bag was filled with a section of steel pipe with spiral lines, which was obviously an improved portable probe shovel. I closed my backpack, shook my bloodied shirt out, and asked, "There are three obvious holes above the tomb, and they are full of blood. Can anyone explain what happened? ”

The three of them glanced at each other, and finally Captain Jiang lit a cigarette, took a hard puff and said: "The matter starts from the day the sixth layer of soil was unsealed, when the whole team was high-spirited and played the slogan of 'working hard and breaking the ground in ten days'. At about three o'clock in the morning, there were two other excavators in Group A who refused to rest, so I had to talk to them myself. As soon as I jumped down, there was a person shouting at me, 'Amazing, found a thief hole', I looked at the shape of the hole, my heart was cold, a little experienced people know that most of the thieves follow the principle of 'ancient circle near square', generally the square mouth is not more than 50 years old. But the hole in front of me was as round as the fifteenth moon, and it was definitely an old thing. Later, we found two adjacent robbery holes in the southeast. I hurriedly went to Master Yu to do an appraisal, and finally determined that the three robbed caves were products of the same period. In other words, the site of this Niangniang's tomb has been visited by tomb robbers hundreds of years ago. ”

Master Yu also lit a cigarette, spit out the smoke ring and said, "I advise them not to be discouraged, the hole must not be dug to the end, otherwise it will not dig three at once." But the two melon babies didn't listen, so they had to go down to see what was going on. ”

"I thought it was too dangerous, so I drank them and told them to go back to rest. I was going to wait for dawn to organize relevant personnel to do an investigation, but who knew that someone came to me early the next morning to report that the two model workers of Group A had not returned all night and could not find anyone anywhere. We stopped work that day, mobilized all our men and searched the whole mountain, but in the end we found nothing. In the evening, Master Yu came to look for me, and he said that there was a place we hadn't looked for yet. ”

Hearing this, my heart chuckled, and I didn't want to blurt out, "You mean, they went into the tomb?" ”

"Otherwise, let the ghost bite it?" Master Yu pointed to the bloody clothes and said, "I went to check again today, and found that the three thieves were all fought from the inside out. In the jargon, it is called the 'three-ring moon', and it is a kind of excavation that has been almost lost. Ordinary tomb robbers are straight to the point, where to hit where to go out, but sometimes in special circumstances, when you can't go back the same way, you will use the 'three-ring moon' technique to escape from the inside of the tomb. As for why three holes were opened at the same time, it is unknown, and the most common theory is to avoid the bad luck in the tomb, just like the three holes of the cunning rabbit. But the hole we saw was only dug up to two-thirds of the way and didn't penetrate the surface. So I guess the tomb robber is already rotting inside. ”
