After the first mini-cart passed by, the dummies came and went again, carrying trays, holding water jugs, holding clothes, etc. After a while, I no longer had the fear I had before.
After seeing them too often, I understand that these little people are swaying and turning left and right because their feet are connected to the patterned grooves on the ground.
In other words, these dummies are like trams, following the established track, shuttling back and forth in this corridor day after day, without stopping for thousands of years!
"Sanman, what's your motivation for saying these things?"
I smiled helplessly, "I don't know if you ask me, but it seems that there is still electricity. Next time you can consider grabbing one and researching it."
When I said this, Miaomiao rolled her eyes. Knowing that I was teasing her, she ignored me and continued walking forward. Lang Hongyi followed me and used the emergency lights to shine forward.
"Sanman, there is a tomb in front of you, let me go in and take a look."
"Well, be careful."
From time to time, a round-vaulted tomb appears on both sides of the corridor. Apart from some furnishings that look like daily life, there is nothing else inside.
Lang Hongyi said he wanted to go in, so I didn’t pay much attention. I nodded and asked him to go in first, but this time Lang Hongyi didn’t stop inside. As soon as he entered, he walked out and said with a bad expression, “Let’s go, here.
It’s a burial place.”
Human psychology is like this, the more scared you are, the more you want to see what it is like.
Not only did Lang Hongyi say this was a burial place, several people eagerly turned their lights towards it. The door was just inside the door next to where we were, and the scene was clearly exposed before our eyes.
Miaomiao immediately buried her face on my shoulder. Others screamed intermittently. Even Professor Chen whispered in disbelief, "This... is really cruel!"
really.
The burial place really makes people tremble at the sight. The upside-down bodies here are neatly placed against the wall, but everyone's remains are just remains. All the heads are missing, neatly layered layer by layer.
The arrangement is so neat that it can be seen that they were neatly stacked up layer by layer after death.
The corpses covered with torn cloth and cobwebs alone were already as high as one person. Judging by visual inspection, there were at least several thousand people. This number was not too huge, but it was definitely a lot.
And the tombs that followed almost all had similar situations. I really felt that it was too early to say that this person was not too cruel.
In addition to the human bones in the burial chamber, there were also wine jars, animals, utensils, jewelry, gold and silver coins, and even cloth that had become so rotten that it was completely unrecognizable.
"Sanman, are there so many things that the tomb owner plans to enjoy after his death?"
"It should be that the ancients believed in continuing to enjoy the imperial life like a living person after death, so they would bury a large number of servants in their tombs for driving, and they would also prepare cattle, horses, pigs, sheep, silks, silks, and gold and silver.
, and most emperors even ordered their harems to be buried with them.”
"What the ancients did was really a bit ignorant and cruel. If you die with your own efforts, others will not be able to live. What kind of brain circuit is this?"
Miaomiao sneered at such things, but this was the fact. There were countless such things in history.
"Let's... let's go, it's too uncomfortable to stay here!"
The students in the back were so shocked by this scene that they cried and whispered suggestions in the back, but the others did not protest. Obviously, this sentence expressed what most people felt.
"Let's go ahead and have a look." I turned around and walked out first, thinking of continuing to explore forward, and the people behind me followed suit.
Not far after I walked out, a place where the wall collapsed and a pile of soil flowed out caught my attention.
A big hole appeared in front of him. Lang Hongyi stepped forward and shined a light into it. He turned around and said, "This should be the robbery hole we saw before. The second half is not blocked. It seems that it appeared halfway.
Accident."
"I saw that he was not far from the ground. He must have encountered an accident while walking out." As for what the accident was, we don't want to delve into it at all. Now the unlucky man is not only dead.
After going west, even the transformed soul of the earth sacrifice was destroyed, so there was no need to continue to pay attention to it.
Apart from the soil, there is nothing else found here. There are quite a few messy footprints on the ground. It can be seen that the direction we are walking is consistent with the direction we are going, which is also the direction forward.
Uncle Yan always consciously stood behind everyone, and now he was standing near the door of a tomb. He saw something and called out to me.
"Sanman, look what this is."
I turned around and saw Uncle Yan shining a light on the area near my feet. I walked up and took a look, and my heart skipped a beat, "Such a big water rat?"
Water mouse is the local name here. Its scientific name should be otter. Some people think it is a bit silly and cute species. That is because they have not seen the one in front of us.
I asked uncertainly, "Uncle Yan, do you think this is really a water rat?"
"Like, but definitely not!"
Uncle Yan is very confident that he will never mistake anything in the water. The one in front of him is definitely not an otter. It has a different shape and appearance.
"There is water vapor in front of you. It's stagnant water. It may be something coming out from over there. You guys should be careful with these teeth. It might hurt someone."
Uncle Yan's words made the atmosphere that had just been relaxing become tense again.
We walked around the body of the big water rat and continued to walk ahead. There were still many tombs in front of us. In a doorless tomb, there was indeed a bathroom-like place. This was the stagnant water that Uncle Yan mentioned.
In the pond with carved water ripples, the water has grown a lot of moss, and the entire water surface is covered with aquatic plants. You can't see the water surface at all. But when you get closer, you can smell a fishy smell of water that hits your nose.
Uncle Yan actually walked from the back to the front and stretched out his hand towards me, "Give me the pennie, there is some water in it."
Shui Diao refers to the dead people in the water, because many drowned people will be washed downstream by the current and float with the current, hence the name. Uncle Yan now said that there were dead people in it, so Lang Hongyi and I handed over the pennies in our hands.
Uncle Yan's hands and feet were very quick, and he directly combined the two poles into one, and then sent the long bamboo pole into the water. After a few strokes, as expected, a dead body came up from the water with a beep.
There may be too many opportunities to see this thing now, but the few of us didn't have much reaction. On the contrary, the students behind me screamed again in fear, which made me feel a little numb.
Judging from the clothes he was wearing, this man was still one of those people. It seemed that he had been dead for a long time and his body was already swollen. Uncle Yan only used a bamboo pole to pull the man from the inside to the shore.
The plants on the water were rippling with the water, but they did not calm down. Instead, they had little heads with a pair of black eyes staring at the light source in our hands.
Uncle Yan looked at the exposed skin of the corpse below and shouted, "Quickly, there are meat-eaters here!"
