When I first saw the Robbery Cave appearing at the archaeological team's excavation site, I almost wanted to jump down to see what was going on.
Could this be the culprit that caused the excavation progress to be stuck?
But speaking from general logic, when encountering this kind of situation, you should work overtime to investigate the problem clearly, or at least go down the robbery hole and check to make sure whether the tomb has been stolen.
Yes, why did it stop?
But it would be unreasonable to say that no one noticed the traces of these three robbery holes.
I hesitated for a moment as to what was going on down there, but decided to jump down to find out.
At this time, the sky was getting dark, and the visibility in the trapezoidal pothole was not very high.
I habitually dug into my trouser pockets, and then I remembered that I had left the flashlight with the backpack for the fat man.
So I had no choice but to go down to the ground in the dark and use my hands and feet to go down another level of stairs.
By the time I dived to the bottom level, it was completely dark, and I couldn't see anything around me.
I groped all the way based on my memory, and finally climbed to the edge of the robbery cave.
I rolled up my sleeves, put my arms into the cave, and touched around the walls of the cave.
I immediately felt something was wrong.
Generally, the section of a hole is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, which is related to the way the human body exerts force.
No matter how straight the shovel is driven, after all, it is not made by a machine, so there will be some uneven parts.
I heard that there are veterans in this industry who can tell the height and age of tomb robbers just by looking at the cross-section of the hole.
Although I don't have this ability, I still have the most basic common sense.
This robbery hole is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom.
Judging from the traces left on the cave wall, the direction of excavation should be from the inside out.
In other words, this robbery hole was dug from the bottom of the tomb upwards.
I was frightened by what I discovered.
Breaking out in a cold sweat, he hurriedly pulled his hand out of the robbery hole, wanting to leave this place immediately.
I don’t know why, but all the nerves in my body were tense, and my heart kept shouting that something was going to happen.
So, regardless of what happened, I found a step and climbed up.
I was only halfway up when my feet suddenly felt fluttery, and a cold air blew from behind me from nowhere.
I shivered. , couldn't help but turn around, and saw a black figure crawling on the steps under my feet, and rushed up in the blink of an eye.
I didn't have time to figure out who it was, so I raised my fist and hit it hard, but unexpectedly it was dodged.
There was a huge pain in my abdomen, and he kicked me hard.
I covered my stomach with one hand and grabbed the other person with the other hand, but was held down instead.
I was immediately unable to move, and I heard the other party say in an evil voice: "Where did you come from, this little thief, who dares to mess with grandpa's head?"
As soon as I heard him speak, my heart calmed down.
The one who can speak human language is definitely not a rice dumpling.
The talking rice dumpling has not been born yet.
Since it is a human being, everything can be easily communicated.
When the man saw that I didn't respond, he exerted a strong force in his hand.
I immediately felt pain and cried out.
It felt like the joints in my left arm were about to break.
"Eat potatoes tonight!"
I endured the severe pain and yelled the popular slogan of the archaeological team.
If the other party is from the team, he will definitely understand what I mean.
If not, this sound can also attract the guards standing guard.
Sure enough, the man was stunned for a moment after hearing my slogan, and then his strength increased, almost tearing off my entire arm.
He sneered and said, "Good boy, you do have some tricks.
How dare you pretend to be crazy."
"I fuck you, you don't know the slogan, you dare to pretend to be a boss with me."

I saw that I couldn't beat him, and immediately started shouting, "Come on, come on, come on, there's a tomb robber coming in, let's loot him."
To be honest. , I have been working as a gold captain for so many years, and I never thought that I would have the opportunity to catch thieves so openly, and I felt a little different in my heart.
Sure enough, my scream to the sky attracted the attention of the sentry.
The four searchlights surrounding the tomb lit up with a "pop" sound at the same time.
The sound of running was heard constantly above our heads, and soon there were heads.
Appears above the trapezoidal pit.
I stared at the bright light, squinted my eyes and shouted: "Comrades, fire at me quickly and don't let this tomb robber escape."
I saw that several teammates of the archaeological team, who were quick and agile, had already jumped into the pit with shovels and hoes.
The old tomb robber who was pressing me down was wearing a black training suit and high-heeled shoes, and his eyes like an eagle were staring at my face.
The most terrifying thing was his hands, which looked withered and thin, like steel claws that held a person unable to move.
At this time, a middle-aged man rushed up quickly with a pickaxe.
When he saw the situation in front of him, he immediately shouted: "Don't panic, everyone, Master Yu has caught the tomb robber.
The prisoner has been controlled by him."
"Who do you think is a tomb robber?"
I looked at him in disbelief.
"Aren't you going to eat potatoes tonight?
I followed Professor Li up the mountain.
This person is a tomb robber.
He attacked me secretly."
"Wrong, wrong, we are all our own people."
Xiao Qian climbed down from the steps in a panic, pointed at me and said: "Master Yu, he was brought back by Brother Hu and Brother Wei Guo from the expert team. " Master Yu said "Oh", slowly loosened his arm that was holding me, and then shouted to the crowd slowly coming behind him: "Everyone, please go back, this is a false alarm."
Xiao Qian hurriedly helped me up and patted the dust on my clothes: "Didn't you say you wanted to find Captain Jiang?
Why did you start a fight with our Master Yu?
Our Master Yu used to be in the national martial arts team.
Ten ordinary people None of them are his match.”
I secretly looked at Master Yu of this archaeological team.
He was ruthless in his attacks, and his eyes were full of evil spirits.
My intuition told me that he was more than just a martial arts athlete.
The middle-aged man who came to the rescue earlier heard that I was the person brought by Professor Li, and his attitude immediately became much more respectful.
While comforting Master Yu, he apologized to me: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
I have wronged the distinguished guest.
Here.
In this place where there are wild mountains, everyone is on high alert.
I hope you can understand.
My surname is Zhang.
I am the deputy captain of the archaeological team.
I don’t know what to call this gentleman.”
"You can just call me Xiao Hu."
I rubbed my arm that was so painful from being twisted, and asked: "When did the burglary cave down here be discovered?
How come no one cares about it?"
When Vice Captain Zhang heard the word "robbery hole", his expression immediately changed.
He turned around and said to the onlookers of the archaeological team: "You go back first.
After dinner, we will have a political and ideological report meeting.
Everyone prepares notes and will check the scores later."
He also sent away the small money that was standing aside, and then returned He turned around and asked me meaningfully, "How much do you know about cave theft?"

I thought about the profound meaning of his words, so I answered in a roundabout way: "The basic situation has been grasped."
Unexpectedly, Master Yu sneered and said to Vice Captain Zhang: "This little bastard is very smart.
Don’t worry, he doesn’t know anything.”
I thought to myself that there was indeed something hidden, and immediately asked what had happened and why the excavation work had to be stopped.
Vice Captain Zhang laughed and said hurriedly that the archaeological team has been undergoing ideological rectification in the past two days and will resume work tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.
I knew that his official statement was unreliable, but I had no way to refute it, so I left the scene in despair, preparing to go to Shirey Yang and the others to discuss the matter.
As soon as I climbed out of the trapezoidal pit, I was chased by Master Yu.
I said angrily: "Why, you still want to arrest me?"
The old man didn't say anything.
He raised his right hand and threw something towards me.
I caught it and saw that it was actually a golden charm.
I lowered my head to look at my chest, and it was indeed empty.
I just didn’t know when he took it away, but I didn’t feel it at all.
I was still thinking about how to defend this matter, when Master Yu sneered again: "Stop pretending.
I used to be a native, so how could I not recognize the gold talisman when I touch it?"
I remained silent, not understanding what he was trying to do.
I still want to invite you to tea.
"Look at your sleeves first and think clearly before answering me."
I was baffled by what he said, and I hurriedly lowered my head to look at my rolled-up sleeves, only to find that the cuffs were dyed dark red by something unknown.
I lowered my head to smell it, and was immediately hit by the sour smell.
This smell is so familiar to me that I will never forget it.
"Is there something in the blood hole?"
I took off my coat and asked puzzledly, "Since you know, why are you still here?"
Master Yu waved his hand: "This is not the place to talk.
You come with me.
You will understand everything when you meet Captain Jiang."
After Master Yu finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards Captain Jiang's tent.
I didn't have time to report to Shiry Yang and others, so I was thinking about what to say when I was tortured to extract a confession later.
However, it turned out that I had misjudged the situation.
Master Yu had no intention of exposing me at all.
He knocked on Captain Jiang's big gong hanging at the door, and then led me straight into the tent.
The furnishings inside this marching tent were much simpler than I expected.
Apart from the camp bed, there was only a rectangular desk.
The desk was scattered, mostly filled with various chemicals and data sheets that laymen could not understand.
As soon as I entered the tent, I was stared at by two burning eyes, making me feel uncomfortable.
Professor Li was sitting in the corner.
He didn't say hello when he saw me coming in.
He still had a stern look on his face.
"Jiang Zi, pour me some saliva."
Master Yu swept the documents on the table and said to himself.
"Master, why are you here?
It was really busy outside just now, and it was you who caused it."
A tall and thick man walked out of the darkness, holding an enamel jar in his hand.
Master Yu took the enamel vat, raised his head and drank, then pointed at me and said: "This guy has some skills, he will leave with us in a while.
You have already explained everything about the team."

"What's there to say?
It's not like he's not coming back.
Which unit is this comrade from?"
Captain Jiang looked at me with interest.
Seeing that I remained silent, he turned to ask Professor Li, "from your museum?"
Professor Li nodded stiffly and said, "Someone else forced it on me.
If you want to use it, just take it.
I have no objection."
I listened in confusion, and kept wondering in my mind what kind of show they were acting.
Captain Jiang pulled out a bulging backpack from under the cot, patted the dust and said, "It's better to come early than to come by time.
I'm worried about three things missing.
Come here, grab your things, and we'll leave as soon as night falls."
I took the backpack and shook it in my hand.
Immediately there was the sound of iron objects colliding.
It was much heavier than I expected.
I unzipped the bag with one hand, and a shovel head with a pointed head and a round body suddenly appeared in front of me.
I reached in and rummaged through it, and found that the bag was filled with steel pipes with spiral patterns.
It is an improved portable exploration shovel.
I closed my backpack, took out my shirt stained with corpse blood, and asked: "There are three obvious robbery holes above the tomb, and they are full of blood.
Can anyone explain what happened?"
The three of them looked at each other.
Finally, Captain Jiang lit a cigarette, took a deep breath and said, "It starts from the day when the sixth layer of soil was unsealed.
At that time, the whole team had high morale and worked hard.
A ground-breaking slogan, everyone worked overtime and got it right The strength was shining in their respective positions.
At about three o'clock in the morning, there were still two excavators in Group A who refused to take a rest, so I had to go and talk to them in person.
As soon as I jumped down, someone yelled at me. , found a robbery hole, I looked at the hole The shape of the mouth makes my heart tremble.
Anyone with some experience knows that most caves follow the ancient principle of round and square.
Generally, square mouths are no more than fifty years old, but the hole in front of me is as round as a fifteen-year-old.
It looked like a moon, and it was definitely an old thing.
We discovered two adjacent robber caves in the southeast.
I hurriedly went to Master Yu for identification, and finally determined that these three robber caves were from the same period.
In other words, they were created hundreds of years ago.
The site of Zuo Niang Niang’s Tomb has already been visited by tomb robbers.”
Master Yu also lit a cigarette, blew out a smoke ring and said: "I advise them not to be discouraged.
The hole may not be dug to the bottom, otherwise they wouldn't be able to dig out three at once.
But those two melons The kid didn’t listen and insisted on going down to see what happened.”
"I thought it was too dangerous, so I ordered them to go back and rest.
I planned to wait until dawn before organizing relevant personnel to conduct an investigation.
Who knew that someone came to me early the next morning and reported that the two model workers from Group A had not returned home all night, and were everywhere No one could be found.
We stopped work that day and mobilized all our people to search the entire mountain.
In the end, Master Yu came to see me and said that there was a place we hadn't found yet. " My heart skipped a beat when I heard this, and I blurted out without even thinking: "You mean, they went into the tomb?"
"Otherwise, the ghost will catch you."
Master Yu pointed at the bloody clothes and said, "Today I went to check again and found that the three holes were dug from the inside out.
In the jargon, they are called three rings.
Tao Yue is a unique skill of digging that has been almost lost.

Normally, tomb robbers go straight in and out where they came from.
However, sometimes there are special circumstances and it is impossible to return the same way.
Sometimes, people will use the technique of three rings to escape from the inside of the tomb chamber.
It is not known why three holes are opened at the same time.
The most common theory is to avoid the bad luck in the tomb, just like the three holes of a cunning rabbit. .
But the hole we saw only dug two-thirds of the way through, and it didn’t penetrate the surface, so I guess the tomb robber was already rotten inside
