Chapter 10 Tomb Robbers
"A few days ago, when I was planting rice seedlings, I accidentally hoeed a piece of white bone with a hoe. I thought the bone was unlucky, so I threw it into the willow forest behind. Thinking about it, it seems that it was from that time that I encountered strange things..." said the lazy man.
"Why didn't you say such a big thing earlier?" I cursed anxiously: "Think about it quickly, have you buried some dead people in your fields? All dead people related to blue and white porcelain."
The lazy man thought for a long time before looking at me with a worried look: "My father said... This field was our family's ancestral tomb before, but when the four old ones were destroyed, it was changed into a field."
I couldn't help but take a breath: "The bone you threw away is probably your ancestor's!"
The lazy man was frightened: "It's a sin, Brother Zhang, you must help me."
I said, "Can you be quieter? Let me think about it carefully. Don't you find it strange? Why are the bones in the ancestral graves left outside the rice fields? Li Mazi, I asked you, according to the rules of your hometown, how deep are the graves buried underground?"
"About one meter." Li Mazi said.
"That's right, the bones must have been dug out. Lazy guy, please honestly explain whether you have tampered with the ancestral grave? For example, tomb robbers."
The lazy man immediately shook his head: "No, absolutely not. I admit that I am not a good person, but the unethical thing of digging ancestral graves cannot be done no matter what."
Looking at the lazy man's expression, it doesn't seem like he is lying, and I understand that he doesn't dare to lie now.
So what is going on with this bone? After my analysis, two possibilities have been summarized.
The first point is that others stole the ancestral tomb of the lazy man's family.
The second type is the movement of the earth's crust, which lifts out the ancestral tomb.
However, the most urgent task now is to find the bone that was discarded by the lazy man. Only by finding that bone can the anger of blue and white porcelain bequeaths be calmed.
At this moment, the sky was already gray and the three of us headed straight to the willow forest.
The lazy man walked and told us the details of that day.
I was so annoyed that I asked the lazy man: "Is there any native master nearby? Or have you ever seen any suspicious people appearing in your village during this period."
"What is a Tushima?" asked the lazy man.
"It's a tomb robber." I said.
The lazy man was stunned and asked, "Brother Zhang, do you think... my ancestral tomb may have been stolen?"
I said it was possible.
The lazy man was immediately angry and started to curse like a shrew. The ancestral grave was dug, which was indeed a heartbreaking thing for the lazy man.
He lives so poor that he is not willing to move his ancestral grave. Now he is a cheaper person and has caused himself a lot of trouble. How can he not be angry?
It’s like I found a beautiful girlfriend, I held it in my hand every day and couldn’t bear to sleep, but I was secretly sleeping by someone else. In the end, I had to pay for it myself when I got pregnant. It’s really disgusting.
I comforted the lazy man and said, "It's better to find the bone first." Now it's useless to scold you anymore.
The lazy man took us to the depths of the willow forest and stopped in front of the strongest willow tree, saying that he had just thrown his bones here at that time.
I took a deep breath: "The willow tree has a heavy yin energy, let alone this century-old tree. If you throw your bones here and let the willow tree's yin energy press against it every day, aren't you asking for death?"
The lazy man sighed: "I don't know these things, I just want to keep this bone away from my rice fields."
Li Mazi asked me worriedly whether the bone would become a sperm, right? He had heard from the old man that burying corpses under a willow tree, and that bone would grow flesh to harm people.
I said this would not be true, and I have to wait until I find the bones.
But as soon as we approached the big willow tree, something suddenly fell from the treetops, and we were so scared that we quickly retreated.
After a closer look, it turned out to be a flower snake with a wrist thickness.
The flower snake kept spitting letters at us and threatening us, as if we were going to bite us a little further.
I suddenly remembered something and immediately looked up at the big willow tree.
When I saw this, I was stunned.
I saw countless snakes entrenched on the big willow tree. In the middle of the snake group, a white bone was shockingly stuck on the tree branch.
I remembered a saying my grandfather once said to me, "Bone attracts a big worm and will definitely cause trouble."
This bone may become a sperm!
There are many snakes in the countryside, and lazy people are not afraid. They take out realgar from their bodies and sprinkle them hard at the willow branches. The snakes hate the smell of realgar, and in an instant, the entire group of snakes dispersed.
The lazy man immediately climbed up the tree, pulled the bone off, held it in his palm and said, "Don't blame our ancestors, don't blame our ancestors."
I said, leave here quickly, the place is not very clean.
After that, we hurried back to the rice fields.
I asked the lazy man to determine the location of the ancestral tomb, but the lazy man shook his head and said that he didn't know that in his father's generation, the ancestral tomb was flattened.
I had no choice but to ask the lazy man to go to the village to invite an old man, who must remember the location of the lazy man's ancestral grave.
According to the old man, he also participated in the activity of destroying the four olds. At that time, he was still a student and was responsible for flattening this cemetery. He remembered that the ancestral tomb of the lazy man's family was close to the boundary monument, and they were preparing to pull out the boundary monument together.
So we immediately found the boundary marker, and searched within ten meters of the surrounding area with the boundary marker as the center.
Of course, we can't dig directly, as it is time-consuming and labor-intensive. I made a simple Luoyang shovel and explored it one by one. The progress was quite smooth. Soon we found the ancestral tomb west of the boundary monument.
I told the old man that the ancestral tomb of a lazy man’s family was stolen, so we have to help him move the tomb.
The old man said there was no problem, he could also ask someone to take a look at Feng Shui, but...
I immediately asked Li Mazi to give the old man 1,000 yuan and asked him to help him deal with it.
In fact, relocating the grave is not my purpose. My purpose is to return the bone and then bury the lazy man's ancestors.
If this bone cannot be returned, it means that the bones are not cold and the body and head are different. No wonder the ancestors are angry.
But I still don’t understand the relationship between the blue and white porcelain and the lazy family? Why do we have to protect their family’s ancestral graves so much?
I remembered the origin of the blue and white porcelain. It seemed that a concubine brought it from the Qing palace. Could it be that the relationship between the green man and the concubine was a little inexplicable?
There are craftsmen who are specifically responsible for burial in almost every village. The craftsmen wandered around for a few times and finally found a "feng shui treasure land". Then, they found a group of people from the village to work hard.
A simple black shed was built on the old grave, which was both kowtowed and burned paper. It was only after the time was about to be over.
It was only about one meter to dig, and only the crowd shouted "Dig" in the middle of the crowd. I immediately went up and found that they had cleared a collapsed tombstone.
There was a line of words on the tombstone. I took a quick look and said to the lazy man: "This is the tomb of the concubine who entered the Qing Palace."
In our career, we need to know some Feng Shui. I decided that the tomb chamber was at the Kan position of the tombstone, and immediately asked someone to go to the Kan position to continue digging.
But what I didn't expect was that when the villagers cleared out the brick wall outside the ancient tomb, they were shocked to find that a large hole had been broken in one of the brick walls, and a highly decayed corpse happened to be stuck in the hole.
Suddenly, the villagers who were digging graves screamed and threw the hoe and shovel all over the floor.
I immediately comforted everyone and then carefully observed the body.
The left hand of the corpse is still crawling up, but the right hand is gone, and the whole body is highly decayed and smelly. Judging from the clothes worn by her body, she should be a modern person.
The death time shall not exceed one month.
Moreover, the facial expression of the corpse was very distorted. It seemed that he had seen something terrifying before he died!
I immediately judged that this was a tomb robber. When he was robbing the tomb of his concubine, he died below for some reason.
When I heard that it was a tomb robber, the lazy man was immediately angry and didn't care about being afraid. He grabbed the hoe and was about to smash it hard. However, I stopped him because it was obviously not the time to take action.
I immediately asked the craftsman to call the police and deal with the body of the tomb robber first. After all, it is a legal society now.
At the same time, I asked Li Mazi to identify him and see if he knew this person?
Li Mazi quickly recognized it and said that this guy was Wu Tiezhu from the next village. This kid has liked to steal things since he was a child. Unexpectedly, he not only stole things from living people, but also didn't let go of things from dead people. Death here, one word, it should be.
The lazy man was so angry that he said that after he moved the grave, he would have to go to Wu Tiezhu's house to settle the accounts.
I ignored everyone's discussion and just carefully observed Wu Tiezhu's body.
The more I look at it, the more I feel strange it is.
Since Wu Tiezhu came down to rob the tomb, why did he have empty hands when he went out? And looking at this way, he seemed to be running away. It is conceivable that he must have been very panicked at that time and retreated without even having to take the things.
So, what did he see in the tomb of the concubine that made him run away so desperately?
