Late at night in Miyao Mountain, a "dang-dang" sound kept coming from an unknown river.

Dou Sprout's face turned red from the cold. He held on to the crowbar and gasped: "I can't do it anymore. I'm exhausted. I have to rest for a while."

I said, "Don't stop. It took a lot of effort to reach this deep. The temperature is right now, and the river will freeze again later. Why did I forget to bring a cyclone shovel?"

Lao Wang was wearing a garbage bag on his upper body, and I saw that his lips were turning purple, so I stopped chipping away at the ice and lit a fire on the shore. If my hands couldn't bear the coldness, I went to warm myself up.

Xiaoxuan suddenly spoke up and suggested: "How about we use explosives? There is still half a box of detonators in the bag."

"No," I said, "This is the ice surface, not the ground. If we use explosives, the entire river surface may collapse. What if we fall in?"

"Haha, you guys are still too young, just look at me."

Lao Wang smiled foolishly and volunteered to help us cut the ice. He used very little force at first, and then he used more and more force. The crowbar was lifted up completely in his hand, and then he smashed it down!

He said: "To cut ice, you have to cut it in the same hole every time. It's a waste of energy to cut it all over the sky like you do!"

I said of course I knew, I was just not sure.

As soon as I finished speaking, I heard a muffled sound!

The ice layer, which was tens of centimeters thick, was cut through.

Everyone ran over to take a look, and I used my flashlight to shine underwater.

There was ice just now. I couldn't see anything clearly underwater. Now that there is no ice, I still can't see clearly.

I frowned and asked, "Is there really a well down here?"

Lao Wang said: "Of course! If you don't believe me, just go into the water and take a look and you will know!"

I said, Lao Wang, go down and have a look, and if you find anything, come up and say something.

No one lives in the deep mountains and old forests, so why is there a well?

The key is still at the bottom of the river, which is so strange.

Lao Wang shook his head like a rattle.

He said dissatisfiedly: "I'm not going down. I'm just telling you the location. Anyway, the sword was fished out from the well. I'm not a fool. I won't freeze to death if I go down with such cold water?"

"Old Wang, look at how cowardly you are! I'll do it!"

Dou Sprout took off his clothes directly. He only wore shorts and started to warm up by swaying from side to side.

Brother Yu said with a solemn expression: "Ya Zai, can you do it? Don't be brave. The situation in the river is unknown and it's not a joke."

"Don't worry, Brother Yu!"

Dou Sprout smiled while warming up: "My little white dragon from Zhoushan doesn't call me for nothing! This river is not as big as a latrine. I have swum at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, so what does this mean?"

After saying that, Douyazai checked the brightness of his headlamp. He walked to the ice cave and stopped, gave us an OK gesture, then pinched his nose, took a deep breath, and jumped into the ice cave with a pop.

At first, you could still see a bright light underwater, which was Dou Sprout's headlamp.

But after a while, nothing could be seen.

We were all nervous. We kept staring at the hole in the ice. No one spoke, and the atmosphere was too quiet for a while.

After about two or three minutes, Bean Sprouts broke out of the water. Brother Yu and I quickly pulled him up and asked what happened.

Douyazai's teeth chattered because of the cold. He wiped his face and gasped: "That's right! There is an ancient well at the bottom of the river! I just dived to the bottom and saw a lot of iron swords and broken helmets! There are also human bones!"

"How deep is the water?" I asked quickly.

Dou Sprout didn't even think about it and replied: "It's not too deep! It's about ten meters after all!"

"Hurry up and drink some wine to warm yourself up."

Half an hour later, the plan is as follows:

There are four of us, Douyazai leading the way. I, Lao Wang, and Xiaoxuan are all ready. We can fish out as much as we can after entering the water.

This depth is not a big problem for me. As for Lao Wang, I gave him a bottle of wine and agreed to help.

There was also Brother Yu, who stayed above to observe the situation. Once he found out that any of us had fallen behind and failed to come up, he immediately went down to fish for them.

When he was ready, Douyazai said loudly: "Turn the headlamp to the brightest! Don't swim around after you get down! Always look at my position and follow me! Let's try to surface within two to three minutes!"

After warming up, everyone jumped down one after another.

The river water is colder than I imagined, bone-chilling!

Not long after I dived, I saw a wellhead made of granite. Bean sprouts drilled directly along the wellhead, followed by everyone.

It's just a well.

But what did I see?

There are knives and swords in the mud! Rotten armor! All kinds of weapons!

There are also many large and incomplete pieces, which seem to be part of the carriage, quietly soaking under the water. Apart from these, the first thing I see is the bones! They are all scattered, here and there.

.

Xiaoxuan stretched out her hand and pulled out a copper sword. The mud brought up temporarily clouded her vision. I touched a knife and a sword. I held them in my arms and swam back immediately. I felt like I could hardly hold my breath.

We surfaced one by one, huddled together and gasped for air, while Brother Yu and the boss hurriedly took the things over.

I looked around and shouted: "Where's Lao Wang!"

Xiaoxuan gasped and said, "He was following me just now! Why didn't he come up?"

Dou Sprout hurriedly said I would go down and look for it!

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Lao Wang came up.

He raised his hands and shouted: "Look! I found two good babies!"

He held two round "big copper bowls" in his hands, one on the left and the other on the right. They had just been fished out of the water, and they were shiny. Since our headlights were not turned off, the reflection was dazzling, making it look like

He held two "big golden bowls" in his hands.

"Go up and warm yourself by the fire first! You're going to freeze to death!"

Gathering around the fire to warm up, I carefully looked at the two things that Lao Wang touched.

I'm confused, I didn't know this was a thing.

The material is copper, not gold, it can be said to be a big copper bowl...it looks too shallow to hold anything, it doesn't look like it.

This thing is so bright that it can shine on my face. Do you know that wind-milled copper is more expensive than gold? I feel that the copper quality of this thing is not inferior to that of Fengmo copper.

Seeing my sad face, Bean Sprout laughed while roasting: "Haha! I didn't expect you, Fengzi, to understand something! I know what it is!"

"You know? Tell me."

Dou Sprout took it and stuffed it directly into his clothes, one on each side.

"Did you see that?"

"Is the size just right? This is the armor used by women in the past to protect this place!"

Dou Sprout hit it a few times with the knife, and the sound was clear and crisp.

He smiled and said: "This must be the armor customized by a female general in the past. It is definitely a C cup."

Brother Yu curiously asked: "Were there female generals in ancient times? The system didn't allow it. If that was the case, why would Hua Mulan secretly disguise herself as a man and join the army in place of her father?"

At this time, he shook his head and said: "Wen Bin, what you said is absolutely true. In some countries established by nomads in ancient times, women, old and weak, could serve as soldiers. There were many female soldiers among the Xixia Iron Harriers, as well as those from back then.

Empress Dowager Xiaoliang, she personally led the 50,000-strong Xixia army and defeated the 150,000-strong Song Dynasty army. Her combat power cannot be underestimated."

"but......"

He stared at Douyazai's chest for a few seconds, shook his head and said: "This thing is not for women. If I guess correctly, this is a type of armor popular in the early Yuan Dynasty, called Mingguang Liang..."

Be the first."

What is Mingguang Liangjia?

It is said in ancient books and information, "One of them is used as the chest, and the other is used as the back. It is as bright as a mirror and can withstand the chop of a knife or an axe."

So Dou Sprout's demonstration was wrong and he shouldn't have put both of them on his chest.

One should be used as a breast protector in front and the other as a back protector in the back. This is the correct usage.

History has passed. I don’t know what happened. I can only rely on guessing.

We sat around the fire to warm ourselves up and boldly speculated on various possibilities.

Why is there an ancient well here? Why are there so many weapons and armor in the well?

After thinking about it, there is a possibility that is relatively high.

At the end of the Song Dynasty and the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, the remaining Dangxiang people lived and settled here in Miyao Mountain. They built gun towers and stone towers, and dug this well to store water.

One day, the Yuan Dynasty army discovered this place and raised troops to fight. They were defeated. The party members killed all these people and left no one alive.

Afraid that the news would spread, the party members threw the corpses, including the carriages, horses and weapons, into the well.

Over time, or due to earthquakes, the river eventually flooded the area, and the ancient well was permanently sealed at the bottom of the river.

Don't underestimate these scraps of metal.
