Chapter 211 Digging a grave in the middle of the night
He shouted: "Everyone is careful and look at the road under his feet!"
Our group carried backpacks and headlights, led by me, holding a long red hiking rope in our hands and walking deep into the Ecstasy Forest.
As long as everyone holds the rope, no one will fall behind.
Every ten meters I walk, I will look back.
Although there was fog at night, the red rope could still be seen, which was more obvious.
If I notice that the rope has shifted, I immediately adjust the direction to make sure that the rope behind me always looks like a straight line.
If you learn mathematics, physics and chemistry well, you will not be afraid of traveling all over the world.
Although I only scored more than a dozen points in junior high school mathematics, I know a simple truth, "between two points, the straight line is the shortest."
One hour later.
"Fengzi, are you sure it's here? What a hell is this place? It's so damn cold."
I said that's right, it's just here, there are a few pits I've hit there.
Because the temperature difference between day and night in the plateau area is large, it is close to minus 10 degrees Celsius at night, and the air that comes out is all white.
I feel okay when I am from Mohe, but Douyazai and Xiaoxuan, who were born in the south, were stomped on their feet because they were frozen.
I tied the rope and said, "Don't stamp my feet, it's useless. It won't be cold when I work later. There must be an ancient tomb in this place, and I don't know how many years have you been here."
"Pooh."
Douyazi spitted into his hands and said loudly: "Tell me Fengzi! Where can I dig from!"
I followed the flashlight and said, "Did you see those two pits? Just dig down from the middle and go down four meters deep, and you will definitely see something."
Douyazai nodded and ran over to work without saying a word.
In the middle of the night, no ghosts came in the deep mountains and forests, and there was no need to let the wind out. Xiaoxuan also took a shovel and participated. The group was digging in full swing, and she couldn't feel cold on her body.
Not long after digging, Liu Ting Douyazai shouted: "Damn, there is really something! Come and have a look!"
"What?"
"I don't know, what's this."
Douyazi squatted down and carefully scattered the floating soil with his hands, revealing a large black-looking jar.
"Don't move! I'll take a look!"
Jumped out of the thief hole and asked Douya to come up a little. I carefully looked at the black jar buried in the soil.
From the exposed part.
The diameter is about forty centimeters, and the mouth of the jar is sealed with ancient wax oil. It has a small mouth, a sloping belly, and a big belly, like a big fat man.
This jar has a Tang Dynasty style, but if you look closely, you can see two obvious circles of spiral patterns at the mouth. With these two spiral patterns, it means that the time was later than the Tang Dynasty, probably during the Song, Liao and Jin period.
"What kind of jar is this? Fengzi?" Douyazai asked me curiously.
I said, "There are only two possibilities. There is no third possibility. One is the urn can, and the other is the piggy bank. Dig it out and see the amount. If it is very heavy, it is the piggy bank. If it is light, it is the urn can."
"I'll come and see me!"
Douyazi used his hands and feet together and quickly dug out the jar from the soil.
"Fuck! So heavy! This must be a piggy bank!"
Douyazi held it in both hands and handed it to me.
When I weighed it, I was afraid it would weigh more than thirty pounds! It was most likely that it was a piggy bank.
After I got it up, I pried the opening with a knife, and I held up the flashlight and looked into the jar.
You guessed right, there were piles of copper coins inside, filling the jars with a lot of stuff!
"When was Yunfeng?" asked me.
After reading it, I shook my head and said, "I can't see the head clearly, and it's all hard green rust, and I can't see clearly a word. But it is definitely not from Xixia. The Xixia money side road is not so regular. If the head is a jar from the Song, Yuan and Ming dynasties, we can make a fortune again!"
The so-called Song, Yuan and Ming dynasties refer to piggy banks that span the Song, Yuan dynasties, and early Ming dynasties. This kind of piggy bank is definitely not as expensive as the pure Xixia pit, but it is also a good thing, because it may contain some special coins minted by the rebel army back then.
Today, I estimate that the market price of this kind of piggy bank is around 10,000 yuan per catty, or more than 30 kilograms, that is more than 300,000 yuan.
This kind of jar needs to be processed, so we simply wrapped it in sacks and continued to dig the ancient tomb.
From the first midnight to the second midnight, six earth pits and tombs were dug in a row, with a very dense number. The distance between the tombs is no more than ten meters. The earth pits and tombs do not have tomb doors and tombs, but a rectangular earth pit with a circle of blue bricks built around them, and soil is buried directly on top.
I didn't see the coffin or the bones.
We dug a piggy bank of more than 20 kilograms and six piles of porcelain urns from these soil pits. In addition, there are no valuable burial objects. This should be the burial area of the common people in the past, and it is all cremated.
Who has ever seen an ancient urn of piled porcelain?
The urns made are hundreds of times more complicated than those used by humans today, and they need to be burned several times.
It is divided into porcelain, slurry, glazing, kiln, straight position, splicing, etc. The six we dug have all the ashes of people from previous generations.
Around the jar, the small house, small stairs, small dogs, ducks, calfs, etc. The villain alludes to the deceased, which means that after the person goes down, he will have a complete range of animals and a prosperous life.
So, if someone sees jars and bottles of this kind of theme, they are used for ashes and they don’t run away.
Douyazai patted the dirt, he unscrewed the bottle and drank water, and suddenly said, "Zhao Xuanxuan, there seems to be an old man behind you, wearing a shroud and a blue face."
Xiaoxuan stared at Douyazai coldly.
The next second, she raised the Luoyang shovel and slapped Douyazai's head.
Douyazai threw the water away and ran away, shouting: "I was wrong! Sister Xuan, I was wrong!"
"Don't mess around, don't run around here."
Xiaoxuan listened to me, but still held the Luoyang shovel to chase Douyazai. Douyazai ran and suddenly tripped by something, and a thud! He fell to the ground and wailed repeatedly.
Brother Yu helped him up and told him to be careful and not to run around.
I walked over and looked at the flashlight and found that what tripped Douyazi was a cylindrical stone exposed on the ground, like the head of some kind of stone sculpture, and also with a square hat.
I frowned and dug a few shovels down, and soon exposed the facial features of a stone-carved warrior statue. My face was buried in the soil for many years, and it was severely oxidized, giving people the feeling that I had experienced vicissitudes.
The diameter of this stone-carved samurai statue is only half a meter! You can imagine how big the body buried in the soil is.
This thing is strange to ordinary people, but it is nothing to us. We have seen a lot of it. Maybe it was because the stone statues placed here to guard the cemetery a long time ago, and the mountains and rivers changed, and were buried by loess hundreds of years later.
Because it was almost dawn, I let my head get back to deal with the guys and come back to explore the forest the next day.
When it was dawn, Lao Guo returned to the test field. When he saw us carrying several big jars, his eyes suddenly became straight and he kept asking us what good treasures he had dug.
After sending Lao Guo away, Xiaoxuan wanted to open the small piggy bank that was more than 20 kilograms first.
She squatted on the ground and tampered with a knife for a long time. Her mouth was opened, but the copper coins inside were rusted into large pieces and could not be poured out.
Xiaoxuan held the jar and shook it left and right. She became anxious and asked me, "I can't get Yunfeng out! Think of a solution!"
Seeing her anxious look, I smiled and said, "I have a way, give it to me."
I took the jar, raised it high and fell to the ground with a loud bang! The whole jar fell into pieces!
The climate of Kangding is humid, so copper and iron are severely rusted, and the money here has become a big mountain of money.
Grass...
I looked at it and was stunned! The surface of Qianshan is almost all of the same kind of copper coins.
All are Kaiyuan Tongbao!
Why is a can of Kaiyuan Tongbao?
No one knows this, you have to ask the people who buried the jars at the beginning, that is, tomb robbers, and they often dig out some things that they didn't expect.
Xiaoxuan looked a little disappointed, and she said, "It's over, Kaiyuan Tongbao is not worth much. I heard that one is only worth two cents, and we have wasted so much time."
"Not necessarily, Xiaoxuan, most of them are not valuable, but there are also some very valuable ones. Maybe there is this money in the mountains."
"In this way, you go to Lao Guo's kitchen, get a bucket, a bottle of sesame oil, and a bag of alkaline noodles, and bring the two greenhouse watermelons he has placed."
"What are you going to do?" Xiaoxuan asked.
I said you don't understand, hurry up and get it.
The hard green rust on copper coins must have troubled many people. Most people in modern times use various chemical potions and vinegar to soak it, which can remove the hard rust, but at the same time it will damage the patina on the surface of the copper coins. If it is not used well, it will even make the copper coins turn red, which will be useless.
Xiaomi once taught me a method, also called Mi’s money laundering method. Only three people know about it so far, so I will teach you.
