After leaving the army, the atmosphere in the ranks was a little heavy, and none of us spoke, all of us hurried away with our heads bowed and silent.

Just a few steps out, the flat head in front of him suddenly tripped over something, "ouch", looked down, but was surprised: "? It's a ...... Hoe? ”

As soon as he said it, we also leaned over to see the excitement, and saw that there was indeed a very common tool in farmers' homes on the ground in front of the flat head - a hoe!

It's just that this hoe looks very old, the front is rusty, the back of the wooden handle is broken, and the rest is rotten.

In addition to this hoe, we saw a lot of digging tools such as shovels and dustpans nearby, and like this hoe, they were all badly corrupted, and even some of them merged with the dirt.

The shopkeeper squatted down and looked at it, and said with a smile: "Good guy, this should be the tool left by the Tufuzi who dug this hole, but I don't know what accident happened at that time, this group of people stopped digging halfway through, threw down the hoe and shovel and turned around and ran." ”

Flathead picked up the hoe and looked at it carefully, and asked, "The pot is supported, this hoe is hundreds of years old, right?" If you take out this thing, it is estimated that it can be sold as a cultural relic for money! ”

Shopkeeper Wang nodded and said: "What you said is really right, these Tufuzi originally came here to dig up cultural relics, but the cultural relics were not dug up, and the equipment fell in the thief hole, and after hundreds of years, it became a new cultural relic, which was picked up by us, haha...... Haha......"

After that, he looked at the thief cave and speculated: "Judging from the scale of the thief hole, this group of people should be official thieves." I don't know which dynasty they are the official thieves of which dynasty, and who is the leader. ”

The so-called "official thief" refers to the tomb robbery allowed by the imperial court.

In ancient times, the level of science and technology was limited, and those who could dig such a spacious thief hole were basically official thieves. Ordinary petty thieves can't make such a big move.

Just as we were immersed in studying these "cultural relics", Uncle Mei, who was not far away, suddenly shouted: "There is a dead man here!" ”

When the shopkeeper Wang heard this, he hurriedly got up and walked over, only to see a body paralyzed on the ground in front of Uncle Mei.

Because of the age, this remains has long since turned into a white bone, and the clothes on his body have rotted to the point that they are not in shape, leaving only some simple fragments, the shopkeeper Wang walked over to take a look, but suddenly said firmly: "It should be an official thief of the Ming Dynasty." ”

I couldn't help but ask curiously, "How do you know about the pot?" ”

The shopkeeper Wang said: "From the fact that he is roughly recognizable, this is the costume of the Ming Dynasty." ”

Sister Hong asked in surprise: "The pot is supported, the clothes on this person's body are almost rotten, can you recognize it as the costume of the Ming Dynasty?" ”

The shopkeeper shook his head and said, "Not only look at the clothes, but also look at the shoes. Judging from the fragments of this person's clothes, he is dressed exquisitely, and he is definitely not an ordinary coolie, but somewhat of an identity. But when you look at the shoes he wears, they are the most shabby straw sandals, not even soap shoes or boots. ”

I looked down, and saw that what the shopkeeper said was indeed right, and the remains were indeed wearing only a pair of straw sandals on their feet, which were on the verge of decay.

The shopkeeper Wang continued: "In all dynasties, only the Ming Dynasty had such strict requirements for wearing shoes. Do you know what Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, did in the early years? ”

I said of course I knew that Zhu Chongba herded cattle for the landlord when he was a child, and when he grew up, he went to the street to ask for food, and he was mixed with the beggars.

The shopkeeper nodded and said: "That's right, Zhu Yuanzhang came from a humble background, he was humiliated in the early years, and he was often kicked by rich people wearing high boots when he asked for food, so he hated boots very much, he stipulated that not only the common people are not allowed to wear boots, but even ordinary officials must wear shoes simply, only the emperor's relatives, teachers and worshippers in front of the emperor, bachelors, and captains on duty can wear boots, and the rest are not allowed to wear boots." Even the brocade guards in the flying fish suit and the embroidered spring knife, when they opened the brocade clothes, they saw that what they were stepping on under their feet was also the most shabby straw sandals. ”

After listening to it, it suddenly dawned on me, and I couldn't help but feel that the shopkeeper Wang was knowledgeable again.

At this time, Uncle Mei pointed not far away and said, "There is still a dead man here...... No, there are several dead people here! ”

When we heard the news, we were stunned.

I saw that looking forward along the thief hole, there were a large number of corpses lying on the ground!

There is no doubt that they are the tomb robbers who dug this cave, but for some unknown reason, they all died in this cave!

Seeing this scene, Sister Hong was already scared, she hugged my arm and asked timidly, "Rong Sheng, did you say they had any accidents?" The thief ran away before he finished fighting, and before he could get out, they all died here......"

I have to say that Sister Hong's inference is quite reasonable.

Judging from the way these tomb robbers died, and the tomb robbing tools that can be seen everywhere in the cave, it is indeed like they were halfway through digging the robbery hole, and suddenly encountered some kind of accident, which caused them to turn around and run away, but they did not run far before they died on the spot, so that the robbery hole could not be opened.

Shopkeeper Wang's expression had become solemn, and he lowered his voice and said, "Now is not the time to ponder this, we have to leave this place of right and wrong quickly!" Hurry up and go, don't delay for a moment! ”

However, after saying this, I suddenly heard a "click" sound from behind me, and I couldn't help but feel excited, turned my head to look at Sister Hong, and saw that Sister Hong was also looking at me in horror.

"Rong Sheng, there's movement behind you!"

Sister Hong said in a trembling voice,

"Mom! Could it be that the ancient Shu king is alive, right?! ”

"Fart! Xiaohong, don't scare yourself! Without waiting for me to answer, the shopkeeper Wang scolded angrily, "Hurry up and leave, don't look back!" Let's go! ”

While shouting, the shopkeeper Wang took the lead and ran outside.

Flathead and Uncle Mei hurriedly followed.

Sister Hong and I didn't look back, but took a big stride and ran, we almost used our strength to feed, and the sound of the wind was whirring in our ears.

But the robbery hole in front of is full of obstacles, either the bones of these tomb robbers, or the hoes and shovels scattered on the ground.

Sister Hong also mixed garlic under her feet when she was running, and she fell, because she kept holding my arm, and as a result, she also took me down.

A group of us fell to the ground with rolling and crawling, and we looked so embarrassed and embarrassed.

As a result, after falling to the ground, I grabbed with both hands and suddenly felt something soft and springy.

I thought it was Sister Hong's Yufeng, and I said I'm sorry, but if I touch it carefully, why is this thing still fluffy?

When I looked closely, I was suddenly scared of white sweat!

I saw that the soft and elastic lump of meat was actually a green-haired mouse the size of a wild cat!

It had its back to me, but I grabbed it, turned its head sharply, stared at a pair of scarlet eyes, and showed two long, sharp rat teeth, and squeaked!
