59.Chapter 59 Chapter 0059: It turned out to be a Han tomb
On the way back, the toad mirror asked me, "Is it really a tomb of a rich man?"
"I didn't know until I dug it up. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info" I said lightly.
"Which dynasty is this old wealth from?"
"No one knows if you don't dig it up. I replied with a frown.
"Brother Zhang, look, is six migrant workers enough?" asked Toad Mirror again.
I'm not stupid, I heard that the toad mirror wanted to explore the reality. If I say that there are not enough migrant workers, it means that this is a big tomb, and it is a tomb worth digging. In fact, as soon as I looked at the tomb bricks, I knew that this was an ancient tomb of the Han Dynasty. If you look at the extent of the exposed tomb bricks, you can conclude that it is a large tomb. I don't want to jump to conclusions, though. If you jump to conclusions too early, you will be left with a laughing stock if you make a wrong judgment. Although I have no hair on my mouth, I am still very reliable.
"Enough. I replied.
"That's good. If it's not enough, I'll have to go back, and I'll be in trouble. Toad Mirror said.
"Didn't you say that if you don't have enough manpower, you will hire them in the field?" I asked, confused. I thought: Is this toad mirror trying to take care of acquaintances?
"Hey, hey... Brother Zhang, the people on the ground are unreliable, if you stab me in the face, won't it ruin my reputation. To be honest, I still want to work in the museum for a long time. Brother, I'll tell you the truth, I'm a jobless vagrant, I don't have a proper job, in the past, I always had a hammer in the east and a stick in the west, doing odd jobs for others, doing this, after all, it's not a thing. In the past year or so, although I dug two ancient tombs for the museum, I only worked for two months when I was full, and I didn't make much money. I thought about it, when my cousin became the curator, I would be here for a long time. Toad Mirror said with a grin.
"As soon as your cousin becomes the curator, who will do it, it's not up to him to have the final say, why are you worried?" I said puzzled.
"Brother Zhang, my cousin is a person in officialdom after all, and he regards his black gauze hat as more important than his life. He said, I didn't do a good job, I would discredit him, and when the time came, don't blame him for not recognizing his six relatives. Don't tell me, my cousin can really do it. So, if I want to work in a museum for a long time, I can't make a mistake. Toad Mirror said in trepidation.
"Deputy Curator Xu won't be so ruthless, right?" I thought to myself: Deputy Curator Xu always sits upright, maybe he will really deny his relatives.
"Ho-ho... It's better to be cautious. Otherwise, it would be embarrassing to be fired by my cousin. Toad Mirror said awkwardly.
As soon as he entered the village, the thin monkey greeted him, and he happily reported: "The house has been rented, and the lunch has been ordered, just waiting for the two of you to be served." ”
"Brother Zhang, you see, my little brother can do it. In the blink of an eye, everything can be done properly. Toad Mirror said to me.
"Not bad. I gave a thumbs up to the skinny monkey.
After eating, I was thinking about going to the cemetery when it started to rain again.
I looked at the sky and thought worriedly: if there was another heavy rainstorm, the tomb would not collapse completely. If it collapses completely, if there are cultural relics inside, the loss will be great.
I thought about it and called Deputy Director Xu.
"Deputy Director Xu, hello, I'm Zhang Shiwen. ”
"Oh, it's Xiao Zhang, has you arrived safely?" asked Deputy Curator Xu with concern.
"I arrived a long time ago, and as soon as I arrived, I went to see the ancient tomb with Gu Mu. I was going to start digging in the afternoon, but it started raining again. I reported.
"What is the situation with the ancient tomb?" asked Deputy Curator Xu.
"I don't see anything famous yet. "I didn't say anything about the phoenix tail pattern tomb bricks.
"Oh, then let's wait until the weather clears before we start digging. Xiao Zhang, you stand alone this time, this is a test for you. Work boldly, work cautiously, and report in a timely manner. Deputy Director Xu instructed.
"I know, resolutely follow the instructions of Deputy Director Xu. I said.
When I called Deputy Director Xu, Toad Mirror ran out, and within half an hour, he actually brought two earth dogs back.
"You... Do you want to eat dog meat?" I asked, surprised.
"Hee-hee... Brother Zhang, this is a bad statement. It's June now, who dares to eat dog meat. To eat, it is best to eat in winter. Eating dog meat this season is a must-have nosebleed. Toad Mirror said.
"Why don't you eat dog meat, why do you buy two dogs?" I asked curiously.
"Brother Zhang, I always think that ancient tomb is famous. Toad Mirror suddenly said worriedly.
"Youmingtang?" I was taken aback and thought: Could it be that the toad mirror saw that it was an ancient tomb of the Han Dynasty?
"Brother Zhang, the director of the village committee just said that for hundreds of years, the dead people in their village have been buried in the north. In other words: this ancient tomb is buried with dead people hundreds of years ago, you think: hundreds of years ago, the ancient tomb, there are some ghosts and monsters in it, it is difficult to predict. So, I bought two dogs just to make them scouts. Toad Mirror said faintly.
As soon as I heard this, I thought to myself: This toad's head is really good, he can deduce from the words of the director of the village committee that the ancient tomb is hundreds of years ago, no wonder he asked me all the time.
"What ghosts are in the tomb?" I asked.
"Brother Zhang, I saw the solemn look on your face just now, I'm afraid you also think that this ancient tomb is not ordinary. Toad Mirror asked.
"This... It's hard to say. You can't find out until you dig it up. Although no one is buried there in this village, what about the other villages? there must be other villages nearby?" I asked.
"I have also considered the question you raised. I just went to ask the head of the village committee again, and he said that the nearby villages did not bury the dead there. Toad Mirror said.
"You... "I was taken aback and thought to myself: this toad mirror is not an idle person. It seems that you should pay more attention to working with him in the future.
I looked at the two yellow dogs and thought: maybe the toad mirror is too much, I have never heard of it, and archaeology still needs the help of dogs.
"Brother Zhang, there are many places where these two dogs are useful, first, you can let it go into the tomb first and play the role of a scout, so that people don't encounter accidents after they go down." Second, if a valuable tomb is dug up, it can also be used to keep watch at night to prevent people from robbing the tomb and looting cultural relics. Toad Mirror said.
"You've thought it through. I complimented.
Generally speaking, if a valuable tomb is excavated, archaeologists have to set up tents next to the cemetery to guard it, and the public security or armed police force will send people to take care of the very valuable tombs.
I thought to myself: in such a remote place, even if this ancient tomb is really from the Han Dynasty, it may not have much value.
I looked at God and thought to myself: as soon as the rain stopped, I had to start digging and try to unravel this mystery as soon as possible.
