As soon as I heard that there was something strange about the body, I immediately rushed to the front of the team and jumped down the stone staircase in three steps and two steps at a time.
At this time, Captain Jiang was squatting in front of a group of burial pits, his face glowing red, and sweat dripping from his forehead.
Looking over his shoulder, I immediately understood what he meant by the "abnormality": dozens of bones lay scattered in a pit less than a full meter wide, all with their hands and feet bent.
Straight back, he was buried in an extremely twisted posture.
I wanted to go up and look through it, but Captain Jiang stopped me.
He took out a pair of gloves from his bag and said, "Put it on, put it on, these are national property and are sacred and inviolable."
I thought to myself that it was a white bone, so I couldn't stiffen it and hurt anyone.
Otherwise, if I were strangled, Captain Jiang would blame me for the thick neck and damaging the public property.
Several other people also came to the edge of the burial cave.
Master Yu took a look and said, "It's useless to ask me.
I have no research on dead people.
Let him take a look at your professor from the Forbidden City."
After he told us, we remembered that there was Professor Li.
He was silent all the way, even when he discovered the burial pit, he didn't say a word, which made me almost forget that there was such a person.
I turned around and found that Professor Li had already put on rubber gloves, carried archaeological equipment on his back, and stepped forward in a dignified manner.
Young Master Wang was speechless and said: "How long has the old man been playing?
He still has time to bring the toolbox down."
Shiry Yang and I looked at each other in confusion.
Although we had known for a long time that the character Lin Fang found was extraordinary, we never expected that Professor Li would behave so unconventionally.
He even went to the grave to save people and did not forget to take the guy with him to eat.
I really have to admire him.
His professionalism.
Professor Li's eyes suddenly gleamed when he saw the bones.
He dug up the soil with a shovel, carefully raised a section of bones and brought it to his face to smell it, and then observed it repeatedly for a long time.
I looked disgusting and turned to Shirey Yang and said, "Let's go to the front to find Fatty and the others.
After he finishes his research, the sun will shine on our butts."
"We came down here to save people.
The bodies can't escape anyway, so the research work can be postponed.
Everyone should search forward."
After Shiry Yang said this, no one responded.
The remaining people seemed to be infected by Professor Li's emotions, staring directly at the bones in his hands.
It was not convenient for Shiry Yang and I to leave the team, so we had to stay where we were and wait for Professor Li to speak.
"These are not human beings."
Professor Li put down the bones in his hand and said this for no reason.
My scalp suddenly became numb, and everyone else also showed surprised expressions.
"What is it not a human being?"
"I'm talking about their social status."
Professor Li took off his gloves and pointed at the twisted bones.
"In the pre-Qin period, the custom of burying humans and animals in sacrifice was very common.
The ancients valued life and treated the dead with a particularly pious attitude.
During family and national funerals, human sacrifices are often used.
The bones in front of us are all human sacrifices."
I looked at the entire burial pit and could hardly see the end.
Could it be that all the slaves buried here were slaves buried with them?
Captain Jiang nodded: "A burial pit of this size should not be a simple family sacrificial pit, but a sacrificial pit shared by several families.

This should be a public tomb in ancient times, just like when we go to the cemetery to sweep and burn Yuanbao paper money, but they use the blood of living people to comfort the souls of their ancestors.
When they were killed, their hands and feet were damaged.
The people were tied behind their backs and hung like pigs to be slaughtered at the end of the stone staircase we just passed.
You see, most of the corpses did not have fatal injuries caused by cutting or smashing.
I think their throats were cut and bled. " Shiry Yang couldn't help shouting "Amen" when he heard this.
I don’t know why, but when I think about the corpses everywhere here being slaughtered like chickens and ducks as sacrifices, I break out in a cold sweat, and I feel like something is wrong with the atmosphere around me.
Captain Jiang kept wiping his sweat and said excitedly: "So, what we found is not a simple tomb of the dead, but it is most likely a public family tomb or even an unprecedented mass burial tomb."
I interrupted their conversation impatiently: "Everyone, we have two members of the archaeological team who are still alive and dead.
Should we discuss the issue of the tomb chamber after we get out?"
Captain Jiang calmed down a little and said with a smile: "Occupational diseases, occupational diseases, we can't stop talking about them.
Since we don't see anyone here, let's continue looking forward."
He suddenly stopped here and then became anxious.
He glanced at us and asked: "Where is Master Yu?
Why is he missing?"
I suddenly looked back and saw that there was no one where Master Yu was squatting, leaving only a brown glass bottle lying alone in the darkness.
"Where's the person?"
Wang Qingzheng walked to the glass bottle with a flashlight.
He squatted down and picked up the bottle.
He turned around and asked me: "Aren't you always standing behind you?
It's unscientific for such a big living person to throw it away at will."
I had just been listening to Professor Li explain the origin of the burial pits, and I didn't notice the movement behind me at all.
I tried my best to recall, but I only remember that when I last saw Master Yu, everyone was gathered in front of the burial pit, and he was the only one squatting in the corner, not knowing what he was studying.
Shiry Yang analyzed: "Master Yu is not bad at skills.
If it was an accident, he should at least make some noise.
Now that he disappeared silently, it should be out of subjective will."
"Fart!"
Captain Jiang's face flushed with anxiety, "If you need to leave for something, you should always say hello.
Something must have happened to Master Yu."
I said, "Why do you always like to think negatively?
With Lao Yu's stature, even ten rice dumplings can't do anything to him.
What could happen?"
"Then what should we do now?"
Captain Jiang wiped his sweat and looked around: "I've lost two already, and then I'll add Master Yu."
"I lost it and went to look for it.
Why are you panicking?"
Professor Li shouted, then pointed at Captain Jiang and said, "The mental quality is too poor.
How did you lead the team back?
I have to write a report to the province."
I said, "Don't rush to find out the responsibility.
Let's search nearby first."
Captain Jiang was afraid that something would happen again, so he repeatedly emphasized that he was not allowed to go too far, that he must avoid acting alone, and that he would have to come back to regroup later.
Wang Qingzheng was following behind Shiry Yang and I, and said in a sneaky way: "It's such a good opportunity, let's not leave yet."
"Where are we going?"
I took a look to make sure no one was following us, and whispered, "Master Yu hasn't been found yet.
If we disappear again, the two remaining academics won't be scared to death.

No, we can't leave."
Shiry Yang also agreed with me.
She looked around the entire burial pit and said seriously: "We are not here for the sake of publicity, and there is no conflict of interest with the archaeological team.
There is no need to act alone.
What do you think?
You better save your brain."
Wang Qingzheng said disdainfully: "Don't think that I don't understand your little tricks.
Fatty has run away with Lin Fang a long time ago.
This is not called a divorced young master.
How do I know if you have done any shady deals behind my back?"
" When he said this, I remembered that Fatty had not uttered a word since he had just descended from the burial pit.
He and Lin Fang had gone too far to explore the road.
I stood up and shouted a few times, hoping he would respond, but except for Captain Jiang and Professor Li who fired their flashlights at me one after another, I didn't even see the fat man at all.
I thought it was not good.
Could it be that the second junior brother was really seduced by a female goblin?
"Well, I have nothing more to say."
Young Master Wang smugly shook off the flashlight, "Then old man Yu may have been unjust and abandoned the archaeological team for his own pocket.
I advise you to listen to me. , plan for yourself early, after all, we are in the same boat, and you must share in the benefits. " Shiry Yang said: "Lin Fang and the others have been down for a while.
Why haven't they shown up yet?
Could it be that they have gone ahead?"
"That's hard to say."
Although I don't know Lin Fang very well, I am still very confident about Fatty.
He is as friendly as Chairman Mao when he sees Mingqi, and he can't control him even if he wants to.
But even if I really gained something, at least I should have left some mark, so that I wouldn't disappear so completely, as if I had eloped.
"This burial pit is not big, but it is small.
It takes a lot of effort to find people.
The longer it takes, the more dangerous it becomes.
I think it is better to send the two leaders up first, and don't let them stay in the hole blindly.
Guess."
"It may not be easy to get them to regress," Shiry Yang said.
"For them, the grave itself is a priceless treasure.
Now that they have come down, they will not leave easily without finding something."
"Isn't it easy to trick them out?"
Mr.
Wang said to Shiry Yang, "Later, you just pretend to be faint and let them carry them out."
"What kind of bad idea did you come up with?"
I criticized him severely.
"shirey Yang is not related to them.
If we are really stunned, we will definitely be blamed.
When the time comes, we will be kicked back by others.
That will be really embarrassing."
If you have time, you might as well use your brain to find someone."
"If you don't do it first and continue knocking Professor Li unconscious, the person named Jiang can't just ignore it, right?"
I was too lazy to talk to the little bastard anymore and turned to look at the burial pits on both sides, hoping to find Master Yu and others.
Shiry Yang suddenly pulled me.

She dimmed the flashlight, pointed at the mound of soil not far away and said, "Listen carefully, there is movement
