Chapter 67 Turning the tables
Suddenly something shook out from my trouser legs. I didn't have time to look closely, and subconsciously stepped on it with my feet.
"Dog basket! What's it!"
Brother Yu was wearing only a shorts all over his body and stood up cursing, tickling while cursing. I saw blood marks scratching his arm.
I let go of my feet and looked down with a flashlight. I was stunned.
This thing is like a little toad.
It's a bit like a frog, I haven't seen it before.
It is yellowish-brown, the size of half an orange. What makes me wonder is that the frog is not naked, the toads are full of bumps, and there are three protruding small bags on the back of this thing, as if there are three scabs.
After a closer look, these scabs looked like the eyes of the smaller size person.
What? A three-eyed frog? It's like a person squinting his eyes and opening a slit.
"What's this?" asked Brother Yu.
I shook my head and said I don't know. Maybe it was a cave frog I had never seen before. This underground cave was wet and dark. No one had stepped on it for many years. Who knows what the hell is there?
What I said actually has a basis. Many new species are found in the world every year, among which cave organisms account for a considerable proportion. There are many fish without eyes, such as dragons, big tadpoles that maintain their larval state and continue to grow, etc.
"Quick, I'm scratching me, but it's still itchy behind me."
"here?"
"Double on the right, just there."
I helped scratch my back, and Brother Yu exhaled and said it was comfortable.
I was so energetic just now that the monster frog was trampled to death and exploded. Brother Yu was a little worried, he was afraid that this thing would be poisonous.
I comforted him and said, "It should be fine. Maybe this thing is like an ordinary toad. If the bump on the toad's back is accidentally broken, it will itch. If it is itchy for a while, it will be fine."
"Yeah... I hope."
Brother Yu said again: "Go down and scratch me on your back."
A few minutes passed.
Suddenly someone came over with a flashlight. It was because we had been out for too long and we were worried that something would go wrong, so we asked Douyazai to come to us.
"What are you doing? Why are you taking off your clothes? Fengzi, you are still squatting there." After walking in some, Douyazai asked with a glaring look.
"Get out of here, don't you see me tickling Brother Yu?"
"Where is the board? Tell me to speed up."
"Okay, it's not very itchy," Brother Yu said while putting on his pants: "I'll get it right away."
More than twenty minutes later, the three of us carried two of us removed boards back to the tomb.
Tian Sanjiu was already a little impatient to wait.
He asked: "Look for someone with a light weight to explore the way. Which of us weighs the lightest?"
Everyone subconsciously looked at Xiaoxuan.
Because she is only over ninety pounds, she is not even two bags of her face.
Douyazai and I are more than one hundred and three years old. As for Brother Yu and Hongying, they add up to nearly half a ton.
Xiaoxuan took two deep breaths and said, "Then I'll do it."
Tian Sanjiu pointed to the ground of the tomb and said precautions. Xiaoxuan listened very carefully.
Xiaoxuan has two tasks. One is to pick up a complete bronze ware and throw it out. We don’t need to break it, nor do we need stone tools and pottery pots. Those things are not worth much, and they are still heavy.
The second is to explore a way out, and this way must avoid all flips.
Bring the headlights and put a small stone in your pocket. Xiaoxuan carefully laid the wooden board into the tomb.
After tentatively stepping on it, Xiaoxuan knelt on the wooden board and slowly crawled forward.
After climbing to the head, she turned her head and waved her hand.
"See it."
"Next!" The whirlwind shovel head was thrown by Brother Yu.
Xiaoxuan stretched out her hand and steadily caught the shovel.
She took a shovel and beat it like a blind man walking.
It can be heard that after the knock, the echoes coming from the ground were different, and there were several places that sounded empty.
Tian Sanjiu ordered: "Miss, make a mark, then pick up the board and continue walking forward."
Xiaoxuan took out a small stone from her pocket, used a wooden board as a ruler, and drew two white bars. The road between the two white bars means that she can walk and is safe.
"Prepare to catch this piece." Brother Yu threw the second wooden board in.
Xiaoxuan knelt on the wooden board and reached out to take it, but the movement was a little larger, and she seemed to lose her center of gravity.
"Be careful!" I shouted.
Xiaoxuan took the wooden board with both hands, held the board in her arms, then fell forward, and lay directly on the board, gasping for breath.
I was relieved without any danger.
After resting for two minutes, Xiaoxuan slowly got up and knelt down, laying down another board.
After climbing over, I took back the first board and walked back and forth.
After tapping with a whirlwind shovel, Xiaoxuan will mark and gradually form an s-shaped route.
Xiaoxuan grabbed a bronze square pot, looked at the right position, and threw it at us.
Douyazi was holding her clothes and running to pick her up.
It caught it, and the bronze ware fell on the clothes.
Brother Yu took away the bronze square pot, and Douyazi hurried to take another one.
If bronzes are thrown out one by one, you will know that they are not too heavy and are far less heavy than copper and iron. There is a saying that the older bronzes are, the lighter they are. This sentence cannot be said to be completely correct, but it makes some sense.
If you don’t believe it, you can go to the big museum to take a look. There are signs in front of the bronze display cabinets, and many of them are written with height, width and weight, the same standard size, and the same three-legged round tripod. The Western Zhou Dynasty was lighter than those in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
The light in the tomb was very dark, and she just took a rough glance and put it in a sack. Some of them were not accessible, so she would use a shovel to hit it.
After more than half an hour, Xiaoxuan walked to the coffin, where there was a wall of earth, and it was over.
"Come here! You can leave!" she stood in the corner and shouted at us.
Looking at the marks all over the floor, Douyazi swallowed and asked me hesitantly: "Can this work? Don't let's go, and fall down after stepping on the air. This may be a knife."
"What? You don't believe Xiaoxuan?" I asked.
"Oh, I don't believe it..." Dou Yazai spoke hesitantly.
As we were talking, we saw Tian Sanjiu moving.
Without hesitation, he followed the marks left on the ground, without any pause throughout the journey, and walked to the opposite side safely.
I pushed Douyazai away, "How is it, do you believe it?"
"What about these, should we put them here or take them?" Douyazai pointed to two sacks.
I said to put it here first, we can just carry our bags, and we will come out and leave afterwards, and we will take it away at that time.
Next, everyone went there one after another.
When he arrived at the corner, the planner suddenly pointed to the almost rotten coffin and said, "Would we open this coffin and see it? Maybe there are a few things."
This coffin should be made of hard wood and has no paint. It can only be said that the grade is average. It can be confirmed that it was not used by the tomb owner. Moreover, because the wood has collapsed and flattened, the lid of the coffin and the bottom of the coffin are next to each other.
Tian Sanjiu reached out and knocked on the wall. He turned around and said, "No need to look at it, it's a waste of time. This tomb is just a trick. Similarly, there are no important burial objects in the coffin."
"This wall is very ordinary. If there is the last Vajra wall, it must be hidden behind it."
