Chapter 34
Cats that don’t like to eat fish are not good cats. Tomb robbing is actually similar to all walks of life. Diligence can make you rich.
Whether it is the southern and northern schools, those who eat this bowl of rice pay attention to fast in and out. When you see too many beautiful antiques and valuable cultural relics, it will be like that. Just like a couple getting married, their days will become dull over time.
He shared his head with the same money as us and tasted the sweetness. How could he not be moved? The last time he was close to Harrahhot, and this time, we came prepared.
Aji was quite good at speaking, and he convinced Uncle Hu Lu to take us to find Heishui City again.
After nearly two days of rest, I exchanged opinions with Uncle Hulu and said that I could go.
It took me three and a half days to return from the dry well last time, but this time I only took less than two and a half days to go there. When I arrived at that place, I found something wrong at first sight.
Last time we buried our bones and piled up a grave bag, but we couldn't see it this time. The original grave bag had already become flat.
At this time, Uncle Hu Lu said a few words.
Aji translated: "Uncle said it should be a strong wind a few days ago. The soil is dry and has strong fluidity and is blown away by the strong wind."
He shook his head and said, "No, where did the bones we buried go? Why can't we see a single one here? Even if the soil is blown away, the bones will blow away?"
Aji's face changed after hearing this, and he might have realized that this statement was untenable.
.
Aji asked Uncle Hulu again, but Uncle Hulu couldn't tell me why.
Dou Yazai said: "This is really strange. Could it be that the wild wolf and the wild dog were taken away?"
I said, "Ya Zai, why don't you have some common sense? The kind of bones that have been dead for hundreds of years can't be eaten by wild dogs and can't even smell them."
Suddenly, Xiaoxuan shouted, "Look at me."
We kept talking about bones but didn't notice it. Xiaoxuan first discovered that there was another bluestone slab covered with the dry well.
We ran over and saw that the bluestone slab that is about the same size as the previous one, but the themes carved on the slab are different. The stone slab in front of us carved the lectures of the Buddhas, and we saw the degree of weathering of the cross-section of the stone carved slab.
Like new.
Where did this come from?
Who covered the well with stone slabs after we left?
Moreover, this stone carving board is also from Xixia, because the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas made in Xixia have characteristics. Basically, the Buddha statues have their faces that are low in eyebrows, thick lips, long ears, and obvious marks of knife at the corners of the eyes of the Buddha statue.
The carved Buddha statue is a full body image, and the shape of the collar of the Buddha statue is U-shaped.
I asked Uncle Hu Lu, could anyone live here nearby?
Uncle Hu Lu immediately shook his head and said something.
Aji synchronously translated: "Uncle, he said no one lives here. There is a small riverbed walking down. There will be water during the rainy season in July and August. Now it is not the rainy season, so there should be no water in the riverbed."
"That's really a hell," Douyazai said, "Where did the manhole cover come from without anyone living? This manhole cover can be sold a lot. Normal people are stupid enough to throw it here."
At this time, he opened his head and said, "Forget it, everyone should stop thinking about it. It's useless to think about it. This place is still on the edge of Harahao's boundary, so I'm walking around and looking around."
We decided to continue walking inward. Douyazai knew that the bluestone slab was worth a little money. Based on the principle of not leaving empty, he tied the slab to his own camel.
We also took a look at the underground situation, and there were no abnormalities.
After walking for less than an hour, we saw the small river ditch that Uncle Hulu mentioned. Standing here, people could smell a very heavy stench while holding a camel.
After this season, the small rivers still have water after the rainy season, which means they are all stagnant water. We see that the water is black and mixed, with some rotten grass roots and a few wild bird corpses floating on the water surface. The stench comes from here.
"Puzzle" Douyazai threw a stone into the water, and then said: "The water is not deep, about one meter."
At this moment, our camel wanted to come over to drink water, but he couldn't even pull the rope, so Xiaoxuan, who was carrying the rope, slid forward.
"No," Aji said, "Let the camel drink."
I said, can I drink this water so dirty? Don’t drink camels and have diarrhea.
Aji explained: "It's okay. You can drink as much water as the camels in the desert, as long as they don't drink them for a long time, it's okay."
Aji is a Hute native. He has rich experience in this area all year round. Since he said that camels can drink, we didn't say anything, so we let go of the reins and let them drink water.
Camels can really drink. I feel that animals on land are the best at drinking water. They kept drinking for more than half a day, and probably had a camel that drank 100 or 200 kilograms.
Seeing the camels drinking so much dirty water, Aji said with some concern: "Camels are very sensitive to water sources. Now they drink so much, which means that there is no fresh water in a large part of the past. For safety reasons, everyone is
Check the water source.”
Douyazi checked it one by one and said loudly that the water was fine, it was enough to drink it for twenty days.
"Wait, don't leave," Aji discovered something, and he suddenly pointed at the water and said, "Those are bones?"
I was already walking away with the camel for about ten meters, but when I heard this, I hurried back to see it.
The camel drank a lot of water and caused the water level to drop. I saw a faint white stripe-shaped object at the bottom of the water. The water was relatively dark, so I couldn't see it if I didn't look carefully.
As soon as Aji said it looked like a bone, our faces became ugly.
Douyazai found a rotten branch and poked it into the water, and picked up a piece.
What is yellow and white, not bones?
It's the bones of a dead person!
"Fuck me suddenly scared." Douyazai cursed and used the branches to make two pieces.
I looked at me and said in surprise: "Are we buried those? Who threw them here?"
Xiaoxuan asked Aji, did the rest of your tribe do it after we left?
"No," Aji shook his head and said, "The caves we live in are all west, and sheep are near the Crescent Oasis. Usually, there are almost no one going east, and it takes several days to walk."
Douyazai held his chin and said to himself: "That's strange. No one comes to the place where birds don't shit. Could it be that those bones move by themselves?"
"Don't guess, let's leave here first," the sun was about to set, and he looked around and said, "There is no city site nearby. Let's go forward and find a place to shelter from the wind to eat overnight."
After saying that, he asked Uncle Hu Lu where to go.
The sun was about to set, and Uncle Hulu pointed to the dark red horizon in the distance and said a few words.
Aji nodded while listening: "Uncle said that he had walked forward for more than an hour. There was a big stone, and the stone was very smooth. We could spend the night there at night."
Nodded and said yes, and listened to Uncle Hulu's arrangements.
When we arrived at the place, we saw a large stone of seven or eight meters protruding from the desolate hard sandy ground. It may have been blown by the wind and the surface of the stone was very clean.
In the desert, there are usually only sand and small stones. It feels strange to see such a big stone suddenly.
We rushed to hurry up, and finally we put on a tent before dark to build a fire. At night, we ate dry food and drank water around the fire. The hay branches we picked were burned to the thunder. No one talked, everyone was enjoying Ala
Good for this moment of tranquility in the desert.
Uncle Hulu lay on the stone with his legs crossed, and he stared at the stars in the sky in a daze.
Suddenly, he turned his head and said a few words to Aji.
"What are you talking about, Aji." I asked.
Aji said, "Uncle said he remembered a friend of his childhood. At that time, they were like they are now, lying on the stone and looking at the stars."
Douyazai shouted, "My childhood friend? A man or a woman? If it were a woman, you two big guys would come here to see the stars at night. This is a story."
