Chapter 15: Drink Your Poison

After listening to Zhao Tiesuo's words, I reflected, indeed as he said, what is the benefit of exposing it? It's better to be safe, the enemy is in the dark, and we are in the dark.

I first cursed my character of not being able to hide things, and then asked Zhao Tiesuo slightly apologetically: "Brother Zhao, I'm sorry, I misunderstood you." So what do you think she does if she makes a small move? If I don't remind you, I'm afraid that other people won't be able to cope with it. ”

Zhao Tiesuo said lightly: "You underestimate your Brother Zhao too much, just such a little girl, how much more waves do you want to make?" Now that I've turned against you, if she wants to ask for help, she will definitely hint at me, so that she can know herself and the other? ”

Sure enough, Jiang is still old and spicy, and it can't be accepted if you don't accept it, this trick is too insidious, but it is indeed the best way to solve the current state.

I smiled at Zhao Tiesuo, and then got up and shouted to the above: "Fat brother, come down, let's continue walking." ”

Taking advantage of the approaching footsteps of the fat brother, I deliberately raised my voice and said, "In this case, then we had better not interfere with the river water from the well water, and then we will part ways when we go out." ”

I said this to confuse Yan Qiu's audio-visual and make her feel that Brother Zhao and I had turned our faces, and this was reaching some kind of non-aggression agreement.

When the fat brother came down, I gave them a grim expression, mixed with chagrin and helplessness. I admire my own acting skills, I didn't learn film and television acting, what a waste of a good seedling.

The spiral passage sloped slowly, and I realized that I was almost at the end, because the atmosphere was not very good because of what had just happened, and everyone held their strength and did not speak. There was a collapse, and the rubble blocked half of the aisle, so we had to stick to the wall and turn sideways.

It looked like a hole, but it collapsed, and from the point of view of the collapse, it didn't look like it collapsed naturally, because of the debris splashed everywhere, I judged that it was a robbery hole, collapsed by explosives, and it should be the place where the people who fought came in.

I thought to myself, this must be a group of tomb robbers, the tomb robbers are ruthless, if they really encounter, it is estimated that Zhao Tiesuo and Sister Hua can compete with them, and a few of us are also the ones who are protected, so the spirit is also extremely nervous, and I dare not slack off.

The spiral passage goes down to the bottom and is a square earthen chamber, the walls around which are not made of green bricks, but are made of mud bricks. The earthen chamber was empty, and nothing unusual was visible. Facing us was a vaulted doorway in the wall of an earthen chamber, and we passed through it, and in the middle was a straight passageway, and on each side there was an earthen chamber, and the door was slightly smaller than the previous doorway, and it opened in the direction we came.

I walked quickly to the dirt chamber on the left before the others, wanting to see what the bottom of this place was, and they followed me curiously.

Inside, there is a rectangular earthen chamber, about six meters by fifteen meters. In the middle of the earthen room is a chair made of loess, and on it are scattered an old skeleton, which is covered with floating earth, and it looks like it is old. The bones in the earthen chamber were surrounded by various vessels, all of which were discolored pottery and rusty bronzes, most of which were also covered by earth.

I was puzzled and said to myself, "Is this a kitchen utensils seller?" So many pots and pots. ”

Yan Qiu didn't care about my previous behavior, and answered my question: "This is the ear chamber of a tomb, which is used for burial. ”

She knew archaeology here, and I wanted to ask for advice, but I didn't know how to speak, and as soon as she said that, I opened the conversation, pointed to the skeleton and said, "Is this the tomb of this man?" Why not get a coffin? As he spoke, he walked over to the corpse, the bones scattered on the earthen seat.

Lu Shan and Yan Qiu also surrounded them.

I, Lu Shan, and Yan Qiu are more concerned, and the other three don't take it seriously. Sister Hua and Zhao Tiesuo stood on both sides of the door, as if they were communicating something. I knew that Zhao Tiesuo had already started to make internal work arrangements, and I didn't pay attention to it.

The fat brother was tired of this, rummaging through those utensils, each of them opened the lid to see, these cultural relics were under his hands, as if no one wanted tatters, the lid was thrown everywhere, and he said while looking at it: "Oh, there is still wine here." ”

The three of us ignored him and continued to observe the skeleton, which should have been sitting here and rotting from the scattered distribution, with a large number of green crystals on the bones.

I was curious, so I touched the skull with my fingers to see what the green crystal was at the bottom.

Yan Qiu grabbed my outstretched arm violently, and then said, "You don't want to die?" Is this poison? ”

I was dragged by her arm and asked, "Is this tomb owner sick?" Having people poison their own corpses? ”

Yan Qiu explained: "She is not the owner of the tomb. This is a burial person, female, about the age of fifty to fifty-five, may have taken poison before her death, or was forcibly poured poison and euthanized, so a large number of poison crystals are generated. It was supposed to be a maid who took care of the tomb owner's diet. ”

I sighed, "How much poison do you have to drink?" There are so many crystals. You are better than Lu Shan, you can see that men and women are not counted, but you can also see age? ”

Lu Shan touched me with her hand to express her dissatisfaction, and then said: "From the smoothness of the skull, as well as the friction of the teeth, you can see the age, the older the skull, the smoother, the centenarian's skull is as smooth as jade." But how to judge the age, I only know the principle, I haven't learned the method. ”

No matter how you judge it, I still believe Yan Qiu, there is no need for her to lie about this. I was more concerned about other things, and then I told Yan Qiu the questions in my heart: "According to this funeral level, what class should the owner of the tomb be?" Local tyrants? Official? ”

Yan Qiu said: "This can't be seen, some people like frugality, some people like luxury, not necessarily." However, this pomp and circumstance is at least a rich merchant, and the tomb is built in an ordinary way, and the passage down is very painstaking. ”

It turned out that she attributed the eight-character corridor and spiral passage above to the integration of this tomb. I don't think so, although I don't know about archaeology, but such a large-scale above-ground passage, what you want to hide is definitely not the tomb of a wealthy merchant, and it is not built more luxuriously than the inside of the passage, and the people who fight each other on it will not fight to the death for such a graveyard like a pit. Maybe there was a fork in the spiral passage before, but we didn't find it, and when we finished studying here, we have to go up and look for it.

The fat brother interjected on the side: "It's so difficult to come down, it must be to hide the treasure, go find it elsewhere." With that, he walked out of the dirt chamber by himself.

We followed him out and came to a symmetrical transept.

The other chamber was the same size as the previous one, a one-meter-high and two-meter-square earthen platform, built in the center of the chamber, neatly spaced around it, less than a meter high, thirty centimeters square small earthen pillars, two or three of which had collapsed.

On the middle earthen platform is a skeleton, and on the surrounding earthen pillars, each placed a black humanoid terracotta figurine the size of a drink bottle, with strange shapes and different shapes, and the specific purpose cannot be seen.

I was the first to observe the bones, which still had green crystals and were poisoned. Looking at the skull again, it was not as smooth as before, but much rougher, so I learned and sold it now and said, "This person was also poisoned, and he is younger than the previous one." ”

Yanqiu was amused by my cute behavior, and she really looked good when she smiled, she said, "This is also a woman, about early twenties." ”

As soon as I heard this, I scolded: "What's wrong with this old immortal rich businessman who is rich? What's wrong with the local tyrant? The twenty-year-old girl gave him a funeral? ”

Lu Shan persuaded: "You should be quiet, in case it is heard by other people here." Then he smiled ambiguously at me and said, "Women can also die if they are pleasing themselves, maybe they are voluntary." ”

While studying the strange terracotta figurines, the fat brother said, "What are these?" What's the use? Isn't it worth the money? ”

I also looked at the black terracotta figurines, according to the layout of this place, plus those weird movements, could it be that this is a place for witchcraft and sacrifice?
