Chapter 46: What a Tomb
The ink is extremely black, smells of industrial ink, and there is an English letter K in a very inconspicuous place next to the two lines.
Several veteran experts quickly concluded that the word was left by the tomb robber, and the letter K was most likely a letter in the tomb robber's name, or a code name.
When several experts were talking, Xu Bai's shoulder was already grabbed by Lu Kun.
She tilted her head to look at him.
Lu Kun said: "Everyone, I am a little unwell and want to go back and rest. ”
Someone asked with concern, "What's wrong with Dr. Lu?" ”
He smiled politely: "I have a headache, just go back and sleep." ”
When the two of them left the tomb, Lu Kun let go of his hand, sat on a small mound and took out a cigarette and smoked it.
Outside the fence, there were many villagers blocked, and their faces were full of curiosity.
If it weren't for the fact that there were many armed policemen standing outside the fenced area, I am afraid that everyone would want to go down to see what the ancient tomb looks like.
Xu Bai walked to the small mound and asked Lu Kun softly, "Are you really uncomfortable?" ”
Lu Kun took a puff of cigarette, lowered his head and said, "Why do you ask?" ”
"Your head doesn't hurt." Xu Bai pursed his lips, raised his fingers slightly, pointed to the position of Lu Kun's heart and said, "It's upset." Isn't it? ”
Lu Kun split his two long legs: "Why am I upset? ”
Xu Bai withdrew his fingers and rubbed his nose a few times: "The words are written for you to see, right?" ”
Lu Kun raised his head and swept her gaze.
Xu Bai said: "What an exciting moment when the tomb was opened, even ordinary people like me were full of curiosity. My first feeling is that the letter K is the initial of Kun in your name, so it affects your mood, so I want to crawl out of the tomb. Otherwise, how could someone as dedicated as you miss every detail of the tomb excavation. ”
Lu Kun didn't say a word, stepped on the half-lit cigarette butt, and said in a muffled voice: "There is nothing to do." ”
He stood up, patted the dirt on his buttocks with his hand, and said, "You want to see the tomb so much?" ”
Xu Bai blurted out: "I want to see it." This is a merchant tomb. ”
"Shang?" Lu Kun looked at her inquiringly.
Before the tomb was opened, experts and scholars only said that the preliminary judgment was that it was a Shang and Zhou ruins. However, the span of the Shang and Zhou dynasties is very large, and the period from 1600 BC to 221 BC is counted as the Shang and Zhou periods.
Xu Bai said that this was a merchant tomb.
This really made Lu Kun a little creepy.
She was extremely uncomfortable by Lu Kun, stretched out her hand to curl her hair and said: "Although this tomb can only be regarded as a small amount compared to some world-famous tombs, the tomb we just saw is made of wood into a coffin, and the space is about four square meters. Moreover, among some of the small objects that the tomb robbers did not steal, there are several very rich Shang Dynasty characteristics, which should be the tomb of a small local rich merchant or a small nobleman. But I'm a layman, and if you're wrong, don't laugh at me. ”
Lu Kun didn't say anything, his eyes showed some complexity and irritability.
In the archaeological excavations over the years, the age of the burial goods in the tomb, as well as the factors of tombs, regulations, and burial customs, can be combined to determine the age of the tomb relatively accurately.
From some characteristics of the tomb, Lu Kun can confirm that this tomb is indeed a tomb of the Shang and Zhou dynasties, as judged by the old experts before.
And now, Xu Bai can see from several objects that have not yet been restored that the things are from the Shang Dynasty.
In the porcelain shop in the antique city before, Xu Bai also concluded that there was not a single genuine product in the store.
Now, it seems, it's not a coincidence.
"Let's go." Lu Kun looked at her, frowned, and walked to the lower tomb.
Xu Bai was stunned: "You're not going home?" ”
Lu Kun said: "Don't you want to see it?" ”
A trace of excitement swelled up in Xu Bai's heart, and he whispered: "Don't have a headache?" ”
Lu Kun said: "Marrying you, there are too many headaches, just get used to it." ”
Xu Bai's face stiffened, and bursts of heat surged.
She followed Lu Kun very obediently and went down the tomb again.
Seeing Lu Kun go and return, everyone asked with concern, "Dr. Lu, you didn't leave?" If you don't feel well, go back and rest. ”
Lu Kun said: "Keep working. ”
The two put their gloves back on, and joined the experts to scrutinize everything in the tomb.
Xu Bai walked to the coffin and looked at the coffin several times, the tomb itself is not deeply buried, so after so many years, the coffin has been seriously decayed, but there is no smell of corpses in the tomb.
This made Xu Bai secretly puzzled.
It's just that at the beginning of the excavation, I couldn't help but focus on the cultural relics first.
Since the relatively intact large pieces of the burial goods had been looted by the tomb robbers, the remaining small objects and fragments were quickly counted.
In the evening, Lu Kun and other experts opened the lid of the coffin, but this time, everyone was even more embarrassed.
