Chapter 363: The Indians' Secrets
Bang!
In addition to shoveling or filling up uneven places, the work of leveling the ground also requires digging out the hard rock and throwing it away, and if it is too big to dig up, it also needs to plant a flag to sign.
The project was going on for two months, and when it was almost completed, something happened on the construction site.
Bieber, who was sweating profusely, ran to the scene of the incident and saw the excavator sunk in the ground, and was really in a very bad mood.
This time, the work troubles came one after another, and when I saw that I was about to finish the work, I took the money and left.
If there is a big problem at this juncture, he will really break down, and hopefully it will be just a small accident......
The bulldozer drove up, combined with the horsepower of several other excavators, and pulled the excavator that had sunk into the ground out.
The driver was fine, the excavator checked it all right, and Bieber finally breathed a sigh of relief.
When he wanted someone to go back to work, he glanced at the large crater that had suddenly appeared, and then saw a dark hole in the corner of the piled up dirt that was not covered.
Puzzled, he pulled a flashlight from his trouser pocket and shone it into the tunnel, it was not an illusion, there was indeed a dark hole underneath.
The workers gathered around also looked curiously and found the hole, some were interested, and some just wanted to make money and finish the work.
Bieber wasn't really interested, the work was about to be completed, they had been doing it for two months, and the money was only half of the wood sold, and the other half had to wait for the inspector to come and get it.
These Indians' broken things are better than waiting for those people to have a headache.
"Barr, you dig it up here and take a look, the rest of the people disperse, go back to work, it's going to be over soon!"
It's just that it's false to say that I'm not curious, and the place has collapsed anyway, so Bieber simply asks the workers to dig up the covered soil and take a look, and then bury it after looking at it.
The crowd slowly dispersed, but the news that there was a hole hidden in the ground also spread among the construction team, and there was nothing to do after work except to chat, there was no way to relax, and of course, there were constantly curious people who ran over to take a few looks during the break.
The bearded man was a member of the Curiosity Party, and as soon as he finished bulldozing the soil, it was his turn to rest, and he came running with a kettle.
Barr's excavator was still working, and the tunnel was getting bigger and bigger, and a tunnel under the horizontal was gradually exposed to the sun.
The bearded man who happened to come here handed out the kettle to Bieber, saw the obviously polished stone wall of the cave, and said casually, "There is actually this thing under this mountain, this work is really evil, like those adventure stories, will there be any valuable antiques buried in it?" ”
"Ahem... Antique? ”
Bieber, who didn't care much about it, choked on a mouthful of water, looked at the big hole exposed below, and the more he thought about it, the more inexplicably he began to connect the matter of coming to this mountain.
The Indians blocked them from going up the mountain, a broken wooden house with bones, a group of zombies came in the middle of the night to attack them, and now there is a ruin hidden under the mountain?
Could this be what the Indians don't want them to discover?!
"Huh?" The bearded man looked at Bieber in surprise and said, "Boss, you don't really want to go in and have a look, do you?" ”
After speaking, he was also stunned, thinking of the strange things that happened during this time, and suddenly felt that his joke might not be a joke.
The two looked at each other in silence, and then looked at the hole below, and their hearts were as hot as if they had been licked by several girls.
If they did dig up any Indian antiquities, they might not even have to do the work if they sold them!
Heart!
It's very exciting!
I was tired like a dog and only $2,000 a month, and it took me more than ten or twenty years to buy a house in the city center......
If you can find antiques and sell them for money, then don't ......
The more I thought about it, the hotter Bieber and the beard became.
They also knew that there were so many people in the camp together, and after they really found something, the engineering team was disbanded, and those who didn't get the money might report to the Cultural Relics Bureau, and they had to share the money to reduce the risk.
And the undead zombies have appeared, I can't be sure if there will be some other monsters in this hole, more people are better, and more people can bear the danger together.
It's the people who were hired to stand guard with guns on the other hand have to leave, and those people are not their own people, and they can't let them know!
In the evening, after settling the wages of the temporary workers and sending them away, Bieber gathered the people during the break and told them about the discovery of the underground tunnels during the day.
Two hundred people is not a few, just to form a group, wow, wow, the ideas are similar, most of the people here are not high level of education workers, it is difficult to live more than a word of money in a lifetime.
Faced with an opportunity to get rich overnight, everyone was moved, not to mention much.
If you can find two or three antiques in the cave and sell them at a high price, everyone can get a huge sum of thousands of dollars evenly distributed!
If the harvest is large, when the time comes, pour it into the soil without knowing it!
For a moment, everyone in the camp fell silent and looked at each other.
Everyone agreed that they should take advantage of the night to explore quickly, and anyway, by now, the air underground is almost circulating.
Bieber asked the bearded man to pinch his body with a dozen brothers and go inside, the cave was very wide, and they followed the conservative practice, leaving two people at intervals, and if the path was complicated, they could return a little bit of the same way.
The bearded man with a searchlight descended to the cave and walked cautiously with his gun-wielding brothers.
The bearded man usually likes to watch those adventures, and he is also half an explorer, he thinks a lot, in order not to be hurt by possible mechanisms, he also takes a long branch to explore the way, and walks very carefully.
Such caution did save his life.
When they saw the steep staircase going down, the branches of the trees were falling little by little, and suddenly one of the steps collapsed like that, startling the bearded man.
If they step on it without any temptation, they will probably roll straight down the steep staircase.
The light shines on the stairs under the visual inspection of more than 30 meters, and if you roll down like this, you will definitely lose half your life.
After this little episode, the bearded man walked more carefully, these old and disrepair, that is, the steps that were compacted with earth, too many places were broken, and many of them were broken one after another, and it took more than ten minutes to go down to the bottom.
"Huh...... Blake, how's it going? ”
On the intercom, Bieber's usual inquiry came out.
Blake, the bearded man, looked at the road ahead with a searchlight, saw the wooden coffins embedded in the earthen walls between the corridors, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said, "I see it, there are coffins!" 1.2...... Five coffins! ”
"Coffin?"
The electronic sound of the walkie-talkie leaking air sounds weird underground.
When Bieber on the ground heard that there was a coffin, he thought for a moment and asked, "Is there anything else?" ”
"There's still a road ahead, and we're going to go deeper."
There was nothing on the walls except coffins, but there were stairs leading down to the depths of the passage, and there were extra stone slabs on the ground and walls of the road ahead, which looked stronger than the clay slabs they were standing on, and more likely to contain treasures.
The bearded man was still in front, and several others followed cautiously with guns, pausing as they passed the five-piece wooden coffin embedded in the wall.
The Indians actually did not have the tradition of using coffins, but the shape of these coffins was square, and it was really difficult not to misunderstand them in such a gloomy and weird place.
After stepping on the paved stone road, the bearded people felt a little more relieved, at least it was not as soft as the dirt, and it was not that the quality of the mud slabs was really that bad, but their perception of safety was more inclined to step on the rock slabs.
This downward stone staircase passage looks very solid, and it is all huge stones that have been polished very flat and smooth, and it is cold to step on and touch, and it is particularly solid and secure.
They descended the stone steps to a place where they needed to turn.
Fortunately, there was only one underground passage, and there was no intricate cerebral palsy structure, and along one path, they went down the next staircase.
It seemed like the last one, and they gradually found a faint light as they descended the winding staircase!
"Boss, we seem to be at the end, I see a faint light!"
...... ......
There was only silence on the other end of the intercom, as if it was too far away to be heard.
However, they also thought about the problem of the intercom signal being blocked, which was not heard by Bieber outside, but heard by the human relay station left in the tunnel.
"Boss Bieber asked what you saw?"
The bearded Blake didn't know how to describe it, and they came to a large circular space, surrounded by heavy stone pillars, and there were several huge stone slabs depicting human bodies in the walls of the space.
The figures on it are all very simple, sketched with simple lines, with a woman in tulle, a man with a pen and parchment, and a man throwing a javelin......
Why can you tell men and women?
Because of the curve, the women are all s.
They don't care about these murals, Blake cares about treasures the most!
It's empty, not to mention the treasures, not even a single thing to move!
A group of people are deflated after finding that the bottom is empty, and the chance to get rich overnight may be gone.
Blake did not give up, and carefully stepped on the round stone floor, and after making sure that the stone slab under his feet was strong, he dared to go to the edge, and looked down at the gap left between the wall and the stone floor.
Then he saw the bottomless cavern, and the churning gray-white mist, and he was startled by such a deep underground cavern, and his legs fell backwards with weakness.
"Ahh
With a slight fear of heights, he suddenly saw a dark and deep cave with no end in sight, and was so frightened that he threw off the wood, branches, and searchlights in his hand to the cave below.
Seeing the flashlight and branches disappear in his hand, the bearded Blake sighed helplessly, "Shet......"
Now, instead of finding an antique, I lost a searchlight.
"Blake?"
"Are you alright?"
"Wang Defa? Here's ......"
The other three people who were looking around the space turned on their spare searchlights, and Blake, who was worried about the sudden fall, stepped forward to care.
When the probe saw the dark and deep passage under the circular platform, it also took a few steps back in fright.
"Shhhh
! ”
The bearded Blake has been listening intently, his flashlight has been thrown down for so long, and there is no sound of breaking, this should be a bottomless pit, right?
Just thinking this, I suddenly heard a bang, and the searchlight seemed to have bottomed out.
If you do the math, there may be more than 60 meters below......
"There's nothing down there but a deep hole, go back."
Blake was always uneasy, and he didn't want to stay here any longer, so he offered to go back.
The other people were naturally extremely disappointed when they saw that there was no money to be made, and they didn't want to stay in this gloomy ghost place for long.
When he went back, passing by the coffins embedded in the wall, Blake suddenly and unwillingly stopped the other four, pointed to the coffins and said, "I haven't seen it here, let's pry it open and take a look." ”
The other people, who had not made the money, did not refuse, took out their daggers and hammers they carried, and cracked the wooden planks stained with a special adhesive.
Unexpectedly, the first wooden coffin opened gave them a surprise, and after the wooden board was completely smashed open, a skeleton fell straight out, causing several people to scream in fright.
But soon, several people reacted, and the searchlights shone in unison on the human skeleton on the ground that was bound together by something to prevent it from falling apart, to be precise, looking at the metal spear it was holding in its hand!
"Antique?!
”
Blake looked at the spear with obvious strange patterns, felt the breath of the goddess of luck, and thought that it would be in vain, but he didn't expect the reward to be waiting here!
"Pick it up, take it!"
The others were also in ecstasy, kicking the skeleton away, and then carefully grasping the spear in their hands.
Naturally, the other coffins were not spared, and in addition to the bones in the coffins, they were soon disappointed to find that only three of the funerary goods were well preserved, a book made of unknown skin, a metal water cup, and an iron ring.
That's all there is to it for this trip!
Bieber looked at the few things that the bearded Blake found underground, and his heart blossomed, and he raised his hand to the long-awaited brothers in the camp and cheered, "Rewarded!" This year we were able to take an early vacation! ”
"Oh, oh, oh!
! The 200 men in the camp cheered and became more motivated.
There wasn't much left of the project, and now it's been marked with a new incentive buff by antiques, and everyone wants to know how much these Indian artifacts can sell for, and the speed of work has been sped up a lot.
The tunnel was sealed with dirt, and after another two weeks, they completed the project nearly half a month earlier than the original three-month completion time.
All the machines were withdrawn from the mountain, and a group of people happily put up signs and returned to the town, calling the equipment rental company to let them pull the rented equipment.
Bieber and the core personnel of the engineering team inquired about the news, and faced a certain antique dealer, ready to sell the Indian artifacts they found.
When he learned that Bieber had found something from an Indian monument, the antique dealer immediately agreed to go and see it for himself.
The antique dealer was still on his way, but the people from the municipality had arrived early the next morning.
In addition to antiques, this engineering business is also very important to Bieber, and it is best to be able to carry out the construction tasks later, so that no outsiders will find out that they have taken away the ancient treasures of the Indians.
