Chapter Three Five Flower Soil
"Hurry up!" Uncle Liu shouted, pulling me up and rushing out of the tent.
There was a mess outside the tent. The archaeological team members who heard the screams came out of the tent and ran towards the source of the sound.
"Xiao Li! That's Xiao Li's voice!"
"Xiao Li is on duty tonight at the cultural relics sorting tent! Come on! Go and have a look!" Uncle Liu shouted almost at the top of his lungs, and the echo of his shout could be faintly heard across the river mouth.
I ran with a large group of people all the way. The sight in front of me made me take a breath of air and instantly gave me goosebumps. I saw a female team member wearing an archaeological vest whose limbs were wrapped in red satin, and her body had already been covered in red silk.
The dense black hair is tightly tied up. To be honest, from a distance in the dark night, it looks like a giant poisonous spider crawling on the ground, with red limbs and furry body.
"Xiao Li is still alive!" A bold male team member approached her, stretched his hand to the artery at the back of her neck, and felt the pulse.
"Give me the knife!" I shouted hurriedly. Long-term identification of cultural relics has made me more insightful than ordinary people. I found that although the limbs of the female team member were wrapped in red satin, the arms inside were almost twisted to the point that the human body could bear it.
It's the limit. If you wait a little longer, it's hard to say whether you will be disabled or not.
"I...I...I don't have a knife," the male team member on the side stuttered in fear.
"Xiao Tang, here you go, hand shovel!" Uncle Liu took out the hand shovel from his vest and handed it to me. The hand shovel is different from the Luoyang shovel. It is a special tool for archeology, similar to the small triangular shovel used for digging soil in gardening.
The tip and sides are relatively sharp. Although the Luoyang shovel was first invented by tomb robbers, it is also often used in archaeological work. It is called a exploring shovel by archaeologists. It is mainly used to drill for what types of cultural relics are in the ground before excavation.
.Interestingly, in recent years, Chinese archeology has gone global, and has carried out joint archaeological operations with many Silk Road countries, spreading the method of using the exploration shovel (Luoyang shovel) abroad, which has attracted praise from foreigners.
I pulled up the long black hair wrapped around the female team member's body with my hands. The hair was not as silky as I thought before, but it took a lot of effort to cut it with my hands. After cutting off all the hair strands, I carefully shoveled it with my hands.
The tip penetrated into the bending gap of the female player's elbow joint, destroying the tension balance of the red silk satin first to prevent the female player's arm from being highly dislocated and fractured due to carelessness. Then, with the help of Uncle Liu, the remaining red silk satin was removed.
Came down.
"You are responsible for taking care of Xiao Li tonight. Okay, okay, let's all disperse!" Uncle Liu said to a male team member beside him. Whoever encounters this thing can't explain the reason, and the psychological impact can only be explained
Slowly forgotten with time.
Looking at the team members who were going away with the flashlight, Uncle Liu lit a cigarette, sighed for a long time, fell silent, and did not speak anymore. The pale moonlight outlined his outline a little hazy, and the river rose higher and higher.
The falling ground slapped on the rocks on the shore, echoing the flickering of the cigarette held in the corner of his mouth.
"Uncle Liu." I broke the silence and said, "Don't you think something is wrong?"
"What's so strange?" Uncle Liu asked.
"The ghost you met underwater was the first one, so it should be a water ghost, but I just touched Xiao Li's hair and it was very dry. It didn't feel like he had been soaked in water for a long time. Moreover, there is one more thing
, I didn’t dare to say it just now, because I was afraid that saying it would cause other people to make random associations and frighten myself.”
"Just say what you have to say. No matter what monsters it is, we have already let it go. If we don't let it go into the water, we won't go into the water. Now it stays on the shore and still comes to torture us. I have to find a way to contain it!" Liu
Uncle finally let out the anger that had accumulated in his heart.
"The soil on those red satins just now was dry, and it was five-flowered soil that would never appear on our construction site!" I said.
"What?! Five-flower soil! That's soil only found in tombs!" Uncle Liu exclaimed.
"Uncle Liu, if you don't believe me, see for yourself." I said as I picked up the red satin not far away from the ground. People who do archaeology are most familiar with Wuhua soil, which is a kind of soil with a mottled color. It was found that Wuhua soil
The place with soil represents digging a grave, because in ancient times, people usually dug a pit on the ground first, buried the person, and then poured the excavated soil into the pit and refilled it.
And trample it with your feet. The color of the soil at different depths underground is different. Because it is dug out and then buried, the color of the soil is disturbed, forming a mixture of multiple colors. In order to facilitate memory, archaeologists put
The soil with this characteristic is called Wuhua soil.
"It is indeed grave soil!" Uncle Liu frowned and said.
"Hoo ho~" A sound of wind suddenly came from behind me. I quickly turned around and shined a flashlight on it, and a black shadow flashed past.
"Damn it! Chase it!" After Uncle Liu and I looked at each other for a second, we came to the same decision. We must see clearly what it is today no matter what.
The nights in Sichuan County are relatively hot, and the river mouth is located in a mountainous area, next to the Minjiang River that flows day and night. It is easy for a white mist to rise at night. People shuttle in the mist, and the visibility is very low. When the flashlight shines into the distance, it is like shining on a
On the white wall, a dim yellow concentric circle appears.
"Whoosh!"
"rustle!"
The black shadow moved towards the river beach at a very fast speed, always at the extreme position that the flashlight could reach.
"Xiao Tang, do you see clearly what it is?" Uncle Liu sweated and gasped.
"It looks like an animal! Look, it crawls and runs! Yes, it looks like a giant lizard!" I said.
"Grandma, you're a bear!" Although Uncle Liu has long been the captain of the archaeological team, his fiery temper is well-known in the county's cultural and cultural circles. It's okay if you don't offend him, but if you do, he will have to fight with anyone.
I saw Uncle Liu picking up a small pebble at his feet and throwing it at the black shadow.
"Crack!"
It was very quiet at night in Jiangkou. Apart from the breathing of Uncle Liu and me, the only sound was the sound of stones hitting the ground and being bounced. Strangely enough, although the pebbles did not hit the black shadow, the black shadow seemed to have received some instructions.
, suddenly stopped by the river beach and lay motionless on the ground.
"Be careful, here!" Uncle Liu bent down and led me closer to the black shadow, and at the same time gave me a shovel.
As it gradually got closer, the outline of the black shadow became clearer. It looked like a scorpion with a curved and upward tail, and its forelimbs were prostrate on the river beach to support its body.
"Quickly turn off the flashlight!" I whispered to Uncle Liu. Because of the close distance, turning on the flashlight again would easily lead to the enemy being in the dark and me being in the light.
The river was filled with mist, and the moonlight could not shine through, leaving only a pale shadow. The black shadow had its back to us, not knowing what it was preparing for.
Uncle Liu gave me a decisive look, "Come on!"
With a roar, Uncle Liu and I rushed towards the black shadow.
"Ahhh!"
The moment he approached the black shadow, Uncle Liu suddenly let out a scream of collapse and fell to the ground.
Chapter completed!
