The history of Hengshan County, Shaanxi Province is very long, and it is said that in the Xia Dynasty, it was the domain of Yongzhou, and it was the place where the Xunyu clan was active.

Hengshan County is not called Hengshan at the earliest, but called Huaiyuan County, the third year of the Republic of China is 1914, because Huaiyuan County has the same name as Huaiyuan County in Guangxi and Anhui, the central government explicitly changed the name of the county, and according to the county border Qingpingbao Dadun Liang is the main peak of the Hengshan Mountain Range, and most of its mountains are east-west, so it is renamed Hengshan County.

Due to the long history and many historic sites in Hengshan County, many cultural relics before the Han Dynasty have been unearthed, and several of them are even famous at home and abroad. There are also a lot of ancient tombs, but because the age is too old, many ancient tombs have been made countless robbery holes by tomb robbers of various ages, and when plane excavations, you can occasionally see some broken bricks and stone artifacts, which are broken into a pile of slag with a little force.

Therefore, at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, considerable attention was paid to the protection of cultural relics, and those tomb robbers who dug up graves and excavated graves would be guilty of the felony of destroying national cultural relics, which was death. Even so, those tomb robbers are still particularly rampant, and there have been incidents where archaeological sites have been looted by a large group of people and even killed archaeologists. During those years, wherever ancient tombs were discovered and archaeological excavations were carried out, there were a small number of garrisons, equipped with light equipment to prevent emergencies.

If someone goes to look for those ancient tombs, they can find several in a day, all of which are of different sizes and ages. Generally speaking, in order to save trouble, the person in charge of the archaeological site will directly recruit from the local people to work, the main thing is to dig up the upper layer of the ancient tomb to seal the mound, and then they are basically not needed, are those archaeologists with a small triangular shovel little by little to clear the soil, for fear of accidentally touching the underground sealed thousands of years of precious cultural relics.

However, in the second half of 1952, under a mountain beam under the jurisdiction of Wei Wall in Hengshan Town, Hengshan County, a huge tomb pit was found that could not be seen, and its scope was extremely rare, and some experts asserted that it was a certain imperial tomb. This incident even alarmed the central leadership, especially two professional archaeologists who returned from abroad from Beijing to participate in the excavation. Because there are many uncertain factors, when small-scale excavations are carried out, strange things are found from a small burial pit, that is, the whole village is sealed off the next day, and no information is allowed to leak out, and the locals who originally worked were immediately driven away, and then the people of the grave relocation team from various counties and cities were transferred to carry out secret archaeological excavations, and this is how they went.

When they passed through Huaxian, they ate at the roadside stalls, probably because Hu Da had a loud voice, which caused a few men in the neighboring seats to be angry, and then they didn't quarrel a few words and actually started a fight with someone. Lao Wu didn't get up at all, he beat the three of them to the ground and begged for mercy, and he was going to sit on the body, and he didn't know who called the public security to come, and the three brothers didn't settle the account, so they ran away with their buttocks. They climbed the mountain and took a shortcut to the north, and even walked for four or five days before they arrived at Hengshan Town in Hengshan County.

The town is not big, it is all old adobe houses, the air has always been filled with a strong smell of earth, and there is some fine sand on the face, and the climate and ground conditions are a little harsh. Lao Wu's hometown is also from Shaanxi, but this gap between the south and the north is beyond his imagination.

Hu Dafang patted the dust on his shoulder with his clothes, sniffed his nose and said, "Oh, it's a crime to work in this place!" ”

Lao Wu squinted his eyes and said, "Why are you doing too much?" Can you stop causing trouble for me? ”

"I—What did I do? Yes? What's the matter? The grandsons did it first, can I not fight back? I'm used to their grandmothers! Hu Dawei muttered unhappily, and then looked at the noodle stall on the street, and hurriedly said: "Hey, I said, Lao Wu Qi'er, you see, we have arrived in this county, then don't worry, I haven't taken a bath for a few days, I'm about to stink, let's eat first, and then find a place to take a bath and sleep, wait for Ming'er, and then go to find the fourth child, what do you think?" ”

Lao Wu wanted to scold him, but after thinking about it, too. Now their faces are covered with mud, and their clothes are dirty, now they don't need to be too anxious, they can find a place to rest first, and then make plans. Then I found a place that looked like a hotel, and took a good bath by drawing water from the well in the backyard. Then he returned to the street, this time led by Hu Dabao, and found a shop that sold all kinds of pasta and looked slightly cleaner. The shopkeeper who just entered the door was very enthusiastic, wiping the table and stools, and going to serve tea, Lao Wu hurriedly beckoned him to stop working, and then sat down and asked for three noodles. I heard that I only ate three bowls of noodles, and the shopkeeper was also very happy, saying that he would enter the back kitchen immediately.

Xiao Qi asked Lao Wu a little strangely: "Big brother?" Why is this uncle so enthusiastic? ”

Hu Dafang said with a smile: "Qi'er, you are still too young to understand this, it is obvious that we are his first guests today, and we are also from other places, we must be enthusiastic!" Isn't it Lao Wu! ”

"That's pretty much what it means, but this place is a little too deserted, and the places we passed by when we came, although they are all some dilapidated houses, but the number of people should be quite large, but you see that there are not many people on the street, and some shops are not open, which is a little strange!" Lao Wu looked at the people on the street and felt a little strange.

At this time, a voice came from the kitchen, "Come on!" The 50-year-old shopkeeper hurriedly came out with a wooden tray and brought three bowls of steaming noodles to the table with a smiling face. There is a layer of spicy oil on it, it smells very fragrant, Lao Wu quickly tasted a mouthful of soup, and his mouth was full of oil, and he could taste the fragrance of minced meat in his mouth, which was authentic Qishan Zhenzi noodles.

Old Wu was about to take a few more bites, when he suddenly found that the old shopkeeper was sitting at the table and watching them. Lao Wu wiped his mouth and asked the old shopkeeper, "Is there something wrong with my brother?" Ah, we brought the money. ”

The old shopkeeper waved his hand and said with a smile: "Recently, everyone has run out, and I haven't opened it for several days. ”

"All gone? What do you mean? Lao Wu put down his chopsticks and asked him.

But the old shopkeeper lifted his chin to the east, sighed and said, "You may not know that you have just come from outside, but you have dug up the ancient tomb in the Wei Wall, and I heard that you have dug up bad things, and now you are surrounded by those soldiers to prevent people from seeing." Then he lowered his voice and whispered to Lao Wu: "I heard from people who have worked in the past that as soon as they dug up a burial pit, scarlet blood gushed out from the ground, and there seemed to be something wriggling under the mud!" ”
