When I thought about this, I suddenly had a very magical feeling. I discussed it with Ding Ling and decided not to enter the tomb passage directly, but to go back along the robbery hole.
Because when we came here, the fork in the road was marked, and we didn't encounter any accidents when we walked back. We found the shaft we came down from again, and we told the little fat guys who were guarding it about the situation here.
When they learned that this stolen hole was used by someone to dig out, they all looked at each other with very suspicious expressions, including Master Zhang. They all looked the same.
To be on the safe side, I suggested that Ding Ling go up first and search along the other side to see if he could find any useful clues. But Ding Ling refused, shook his head and wanted to come with me.
I was indignant at her unorganized and undisciplined behavior, but when I thought about it carefully, I didn’t think there was anything wrong with it. When I was out and in such an environment where I couldn’t see my fingers, it would be better to have someone by my side to take care of me.
is good.
Thinking of this, he didn't insist anymore. He took a bottle of water from above and changed the flashlight in his hand, and then walked along the robbery hole on the other side.
Since someone dug this hole from the inside of the tomb passage, it proves that the farther away from the tomb passage, the closer to the exit the person who dug the hole is looking for, then the possibility of finding a hole that connects to the outside is also
The bigger.
Under such a big premise, I made a preliminary calculation of the distance I had to walk, and the most likely direction when digging the hole with the man. While thinking about it, I walked, and soon, I was on the other side.
A few forks in the road lead to a cave that winds upward.
The further back you go, the smaller the hole becomes. Eventually, it is almost impossible to pass through it standing up.
After all, Ding Ling was an unusual woman with a military background. When she saw this situation, she didn't say anything, crawled on the ground and crawled over with me.
At that time, the height of the Thief Cave was only about one meter, which was very narrow. Coupled with the surrounding environment, it made people feel extremely depressed. After crawling around in it, after a while, I didn’t believe that I was crawling on a human creature.
Passage is available.
While I was thinking about it, I heard Ding Ling crawling in front of me say "Hey". I hurried over, but I didn't expect that when I shined my flashlight forward, I saw a bare wall covered with dirt...
The walls are made of huge fired adobe bricks similar to the bricks of the Great Wall. The gaps on them have been carefully processed. Looking at it this way, the criss-crossing and orderly arrangement of the brick joints are clearly visible.
.....
"It's a dead end?" I said, staring at the stone wall.
"Yeah, how could it be a dead end?" Ding Ling said, reluctantly straightening up, sitting there on his knees and looking at both sides. He swayed to the left, nothing happened, but when he swung to the right, he screamed "Ah" in fright.
Leaning directly against the cave wall on the other side...
Ding Ling's courage is definitely not small. There are not many things that can scare her like this. I felt nervous and unknowingly took out the ruler in my hand and flashed it with a flashlight. I also imitated her behavior.
Looking to the other side, I noticed that there was a passage next to the stone wall on the other side. There, there was a person who was half lying and half sitting against the stone wall.
His body was stooped, his mouth was open, and his whole face was twitching together, as if he was half rotten but then thrown into the stove to be evaporated. It was a bit like a mummy, but not that complete. Looking at it like this, a picture
On his face, he could only see two sunken black hole-like eyes and a half-covered mouth...with strips of broken flesh.
Judging from his teeth, this guy should still be considered a human being, a dead person. However, his crooked mouth looks very weird, and the whole body is twitching in a painful posture, which makes us feel a little uneasy.
.
Maybe because I have seen it too much, I am not very afraid of this kind of mummy-like thing. I pulled the discolored Ding Ling into my arms and comforted me. On the other hand, there was a flashlight shining on the man's corpse and looking at it carefully. This man,
It must have been in modern times. He was wearing the national defense green military uniform that was popular in the 1960s and 1970s, and cloth shoes with thousand-layer soles made of cotton thread. When he died, he was barefoot and without socks.
What's more interesting is that what he is holding in his hand is not the kind of cyclone shovel commonly used by grave robbers to dig holes, but an old-fashioned and simple engineering shovel.
In addition to these things, I also saw a green canvas satchel that was slung across my body. It was bulging, as if it contained a lot of things.
I hesitated for a moment, then bravely reached out and picked up the backpack with a little force. I thought about just taking it off, but I didn't think about it and accidentally ripped off the man's head.
After a high degree of decomposition, the gradually dried corpse was really brittle. When the thing that was half mummy and half skeleton rolled over with grinning teeth, Ding Ling subconsciously grabbed me, as if he was nervous or complaining.
It seems like I was careless...
"Uncle, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it." I said, and quickly reached out to hold it, trying to put the thing back in its place. Ding Ling saw it, grabbed my hand and said to me: "
Are you crazy?"
"It's disrespectful to divide the body into two parts. You can't do this." I said, shaking my head. Seeing my very decisive look, Ding Ling frowned and took out a pair of white gloves from his pocket. I hesitated for a moment.
Put it on, take off the satchel, and put the head back in place.
He looked up and felt that it was uncomfortable to be stared at by this thing, so he turned its head again and let him face the wall and think about his mistakes.
"Wow...it's jewelry..." While he was struggling with the head that was falling down no matter how he put it, Ding Ling pulled the backpack and said to me. Hearing this, I turned around,
When I opened the backpack and took a look, I was attracted by it.
There are a lot of jewelry inside, but they look very old. Whether they are gold ingots or silverware, or even some unknown pearls and jade, they are all covered with a layer of haze. Although, real gold cannot be made.
Rust, but no matter how you look at it, it's not very shiny.
"Are these burial objects?" Ding Ling asked me as he picked out a pair of jade beasts that looked like unicorns but were not unicorns.
"Who knows." I said, turning my head again to look at the mummy whose head was tilted and might fall off again at any time. Inadvertently, I discovered that the man had only one cervical vertebra left, and there was a string hanging on his neck.
