"Yuanfeng is the era name of Song Shenzong, and Shaosheng is the era name of Song Zhezong......" For these era names, Wang Manyin is like a few treasures.

"Has our generation of Jar Village ever fought, how can there be a mass grave?"

"Of course, it has been fought, throughout the Northern Song Dynasty, the former Xixian area has always been the forefront of the war between the Great Song Dynasty and the Western Xia, and there have been hundreds of wars, large and small. The uncertain river over there in Mijia Town is full of bones in history, and millions of corpses are buried."

Since written records, the Wuding River valley has been at the forefront of the conflict between nomadic and agrarian civilizations.

From the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties to the Qin, Han, Sui, Tang, Song and Ming dynasties, one tragic story after another occurred in this land, and the fighting almost never stopped. On the mountain outside Mijia Town, Wang Manyin also saw the ruins of the ruined Great Wall and the beacon tower.

"I know this, 'Poor and uncertain riverside bones, like people in spring boudoir dreams,'" Shang Zhimin immediately shook his head and memorized the ancient poem, indicating that he was not ignorant.

Wang Lianshun said impatiently: "It's useful to talk about this, the key is that this place is a mass grave. What are we going to do, are we still digging?"

According to Xie Gong's plan, a flood channel will be built here. Now that so many people's bones have been dug up, should we change the location of the flood channel?

The customs on this side of the Loess Plateau pay attention to the safety of entering the earth, and generally do not move the graves of the dead. After all, the tradition of thousands of years cannot be changed for a while.

What's more, this place looks fierce.

"What should I do, which piece of loess doesn't bury people, and the living can still let the dead stand in the way! Dig it all for me...... Wait a minute, throw it all into the ditch next to it, and bury it." Wang Yanqiang was unscrupulous, and simply gave an order.

Then, he jumped down the pit first.

Hearing him say this, Wang Lianshun moved his mouth and did not raise any objections. If you keep talking about it yourself, you will probably make a mistake.

Wang Manyin didn't have a move, if it was in the future life, he might deal with it differently. Now the conditions are limited, and this is the only way.

But Wang Yanqiang's words are right, there is no reason for the living to let the dead get in the way.

A few educated youths were high-spirited, holding shovels and rakes, and jumped into the pit to dry.

This place is the bottom of a ditch, which is often eroded by floods in the summer, and after more than a thousand years, the bones have rotted. When a nail is raked, it all turns into broken bones and slag, and it can't even be put together.

Someone took the lead, and the members joined in twos and threes, and baskets of bone slag loess were lifted out.

As for the copper coins and other things that were dug up, they were singled out, and every man who dug up belonged to his own...... Miraculously, no one said they were scared anymore.

"Full of silver, do you accept the copper coin sales point here?" A member asked.

"Accept it, why don't you accept it?!" Wang Manyin also replied very simply.

After all, how many of the copper coins in the hands of those collectors in later generations are family heirlooms? Ninety percent of it was dug out of the soil, but it was just a change of hands.

As the mass graves were completely dug up, more and more things were excavated, and there were hundreds of copper coins alone, and if you sold scrap copper, it was worth almost two or three yuan.

In addition, there are clay pots and broken ceramic pieces...... These are worthless, plus they are things used by dead people, and no one cares, they are all thrown aside.

Wang Manyin was lucky, in addition to a dozen copper coins, he also found a stone seal. After cleaning up the dirt on the top, I could barely make out that it was a seal script, engraved with "Wang Clam Seal". ….

As for who the specific other party is, he doesn't know.

However, those who could use seals in ancient times did not belong to ordinary people. It will be preserved to future generations, at least a thousand.

After watching the members for a while, Wang Yanqiang beckoned Wang Manyin and a few people to unload the stones.

***

After breakfast, Wang Manyin went to the village early to meet Wang Yanqiang.

The two took the rhubarb and headed towards the Wolf's Den Mountain again.

For this operation, Wang Yanqiang was very well prepared, and deliberately put two guns on his back. A rifle, ready to wait and deal with the wolves. The other is an earthen gun, which is filled with gunpowder and iron sand, and punches out a large area, which is more effective against small prey.

To the place, Wang Manyin directly put the other party

Bring it into the pit and the ditch. After walking some distance forward, he pointed to a pile of gray-white droppings in the artemisia grass.

"You read that right, it must be wolf dung, so much...... There should be a wolf's den nearby," Wang Yanqiang nodded again and again after looking at it, completely agreeing with Wang Manyin's inference.

Wolf dung and dog dung look similar in shape, but the difference is very significant. The wolf dung is whitish after drying, and there are some animal hairs on it, and half of the dog feces is black.

That large pile of dried wolf feces at least shows that the wild wolves have lived here for a short time.

"Let's just drop a 'little bomb,' shall we?" Wang Manyin said and took out a jar.

Although the bomb is not as powerful as a detonator, it should not be underestimated. So he was cautious all the way, for fear that he would bump into an explosion.

"Well, let's all let it all out and come back when we hear the sound."

Although Wang Yanqiang carried two guns, he did not hold out much hope.

Wolves are not stupid, they will watch people cook. If you come across a child in the mountains, they will naturally sneak up and attack.

If you meet an adult, there is a high probability that you will hide quietly.

What's more, the current environment is too restrictive, and it is better to use small bombs. However, in a few days, the weather will completely warm, and the lard wrapped outside will melt and will no longer be usable.

In this way, the two of them threw a "small bomb" every twenty or thirty meters. In addition to being able to blow up wolves, this thing will also sound when people step on it...... In order to prevent accidental injury, the two also deliberately made obvious signs in the vicinity one by one.

The whole cliff and ditch is about four or five hundred meters long. During this period, a few pheasants and hares were found, and Rhubarb just wanted to chase them out, but was stopped by Wang Manyin.

There are too many pits in the artemisia grass, and if the earth dog falls into it, it will be a serious injury if he does not die.

When they reached the middle of the cliff, they suddenly saw a few fresh wolf dung, and there were still gnawed bones next to them.

Rhubarb sniffed for a while, then rushed to a dark pit and roared in a low voice.

Obviously, the wolf is most likely hiding inside.

Wang Manyin was glad again: fortunately, he stopped a few educated youths at the beginning and didn't let them go deep into the cave to explore. If you encounter a wild wolf inside, the consequences are unimaginable.

Seeing that Wang Manyin was silent, Wang Yanqiang thought that he was tempted, and hurriedly persuaded: "Manyin, let's not go down. The situation in the cave is unknown, and it is easy to have accidents."

"Hmm," Wang Manyin nodded repeatedly.

He is also afraid that his rhubarb will be injured, as long as the wild wolf is still hiding in the cliff ditch, he will find the bait sooner or later.

When the bait is finished, it is almost the end of the day. ….

The two exited the ravine from the other end.

"Let's go, bring the rhubarb, see if we can get a rabbit pheasant or something, let's fight the tooth sacrifice at noon." After finishing the business, Wang Yanqiang relaxed.

He was very enthusiastic about the ability of rhubarb, and he had never seen such a spiritual earth dog. With this guy here, finding a small prey shouldn't be a problem.

Wang Manyin had this intention, and immediately led Rhubarb to open the way in front. As soon as he crossed a mountain, the guy didn't move right, his body hunched over, and he let out a low whimper.

Wang Manyin was naturally familiar with Rhubarb's actions, and immediately reminded, "Uncle Yanqiang, get ready, there may be prey ahead!"

Hearing this, Wang Yanqiang raised the earthen gun that had been loaded earlier.

The next moment, an earthy gray figure burst out of the grass in front of him.

Wang Yanqiang took aim, and then put it down.

In the blink of an eye, the hare penetrated into the sour jujube thorn bush and disappeared.

"What's the matter, why don't you fight?" Wang Manyin asked puzzled.

"It's a female, and the spring female rabbit can't be beaten," Wang Yanqiang explained.

This should be the most simple animal protection concept of hunters on the Loess Plateau, knowing that if you try your best to fish, there will be no fish next year.

However, Wang Yanqiang separated the male and female hare from a distance of seven or eight meters, which is also powerful enough, Wang Manyin does not have this ability.

Soon, another pheasant was encountered.

This time, Wang Yanqiang did not relent, raised his gun to aim, pulled the trigger, and was in a fit of anger.

Bang......

The guy fluttered a few times and fell into the grass.

Wang Manyin rushed to him as soon as possible, directly twisted the pheasant's neck, and gave the other party a happy look.

Wang Yanqiang was very proud of his marksmanship, and raised it and said, "Man Yin, do you want to try it?"

Although Wang Manyin was a little moved, he finally shook his head: "Forget it, I heard that this thing is quite dangerous."

"It's okay, I'll help you fill the medicine and make sure there are no problems."

Wang Manyin still refused. There is only one life, and he is unwilling to touch unsafe things. Especially the earthen guns produced by this kind of earthen workshop, there are not a few people who are blinded.

"Sun!" Wang Yanqiang could only shake his head.

He felt that this guy was a little difficult to understand, he obviously looked like a good man, and he did things to his taste, but he was very cowardly in some things.

The two continued to search, and during the process, they encountered a male hare, but unfortunately Wang Yanqiang raised the gun too late and let the other party run away.

Seeing that the sun was almost noon overhead, they simply found a leeward place, separated a bundle of sun-dried lemon sticks, and began to make a barbecue.

The pheasant is cooked, half per person, and the remaining bones are thrown to the rhubarb.

Nibbling on dry food and drinking cold water, I also filled my stomach.

After eating *** and resting for a while, the two continued to wander around, and finally hit a male hare.

In the second half of the morning, they stepped into the ravine again.

Follow the imprints and look for them one by one.

No, still not.

I searched for seven or eight places, but they were still empty.

Suddenly, there was a buzzing sound of flies on the grass not far ahead, and Rhubarb also let out a low roar for the first time.

Both of them had joy on their faces, and they couldn't help but speed up their pace. Sure enough, there was a bloody patch where the small bomb was dropped. However, when they saw their prey, their faces changed to disappointment.

Not an imaginary wolf, but a fat wild cat.

This animal is very similar to a domestic cat, but it has slightly longer ears and is often seen in the Loess Plateau.

But this guy looks a little miserable, his head was blown off and half pulled, and he can't die anymore.

"Okay, let's not be empty-handed, this thing can be worth a dollar or two......" Although Wang Yanqiang was a little disappointed, he still comforted him.

Rhubarb's reaction was a bit strange, and after this guy sniffed, he suddenly lowered his body and walked towards a cliff next to him.

"There's still a situation, let's go over and take a look." Wang Yanqiang immediately held the butt of the gun.
