Chapter 111 – Milk Farm Cellar – Northern School Tomb Raider’s Notes

Half a meter deep.

One meter deep.

Two meters deep.

Undeterred, I picked up the other Loyola shovel pole body and continued down, probing the hole for dirt.

Soil was brought up shovel by shovel, and the depth was estimated to be over five meters.

“Huh?”

Just then I noticed a change in the color of the soil layer brought up by the last shovel.

I busily set my headlamp straight and reached down to grab a handful of the dirt I’d brought up.

The soil layer under five meters was a bit reddish, with a bit of white mottled in it, and it felt a bit stained when I twisted it back and forth with my hand.

“Nope ….”

“It’s living earth…there’s really something fucking underground, Azza didn’t lie to me this time!” How can I put this feeling, it was like suddenly buying a lottery ticket and winning the jackpot, I was ecstatic.

“What? Got it?” Goldwind Yellow asked as he walked over.

I nodded my head and said, “Seventy percent certainty, if there is an ancient tomb underground, right now I have to continue to explore until I determine the boundaries of the tomb, the shape, the size of the tomb, so that I can choose the right place to excavate.”

Goldwind Yellow frowned and asked how long it would take.

I said it’s just me, two to three hours at the earliest.

“Two or three hours? That much trouble?”

“Get up and step aside!”

“Everyone come here.”

A dozen or so punks immediately rallied to their command.

“See all,” said Goldwind Yellow, pointing to the exploratory hole I had just made in the ground, “Right here, dig for me!”

“Roger that!”

A bunch of people immediately waved their shovels and started digging around.

More than a dozen shovels, do not say what the rhythm with, from time to time clanking each other hit together, the sound of the commotion is very big, this is in the dairy farm, if in the city would have been found out.

After digging down to a depth of more than a meter and digging a large pit about a meter and a half in diameter, four or five men with shovels in hand jumped under the pit and continued to throw dirt upwards.

After an hour, the man under the pit could no longer throw up dirt, it was too deep.

At this time, a young man in charge of command ran and said, “No way boss! Look at how deep the brothers are digging! Not to mention the tomb! We haven’t seen a single hair! We can’t even throw up the dirt! This kid may be swindling us!”

“That’s it,” someone grumbled, “there’s no hair, digging so deep, why don’t you just bury the kid.”

I blushed and was busy explaining that no, the depth wasn’t enough and you guys didn’t even have a rope ladder! How can you dig like this!

“Trust me, look two to three meters down.”

Jin Feng Huang thought about it, said in the letter I once, if you can not dig the tomb, you have to throw me into the pit buried alive.

What to do when you hit a snag, that’s when someone came up with an idea.

There was an old water well on the dairy farm with a hand-cranked wheelbarrow, which they sent to dismantle and move over to set up over the robber hole, and then found extra buckets with which to carry the soil.

The man at the top of the pit swings the wheelbarrow and lowers the bucket, the man at the bottom of the pit digs up the dirt and puts it in the bucket, and when it’s full, he shakes the rope, and the man at the top of the pit winches the bucket up and dumps it out.

There were already a lot of people, and with the tools at hand, it was a quick job.

“Stop! Stop first!” I heard someone yell from down the robber’s hole.

“What!”

“Bricks! Digging up lots of bricks!”

Goldwind Yellow’s face was delighted, and at that moment he shouted with his flashlight, “Never mind the bricks, break them open for me!”

The men under the pit, on command, turned their heads and reversed their shovels and began to smash.

The top of the excavated brick was in the shape of an arch bridge, the thickness of three bricks stacked together so thick, I knew at once, this is the previous coupon top, certainly after the Tang Dynasty, the top of the coupon is in the shape of an arch bridge, is the Liao Jin, or the Song Dynasty is the most likely.

I did not go down, according to those who said later, the dairy farm underground is a Northern Song Dynasty brick cellar, indeed not a tomb, because there is no patio, less than twenty square meters of a single room, a single room without a coffin, there are more than twenty large clay pots, pots sealed with soil, there are two or three clay pots broken, pots filled with copper, preservation of the state of the good can also be seen stringing coins of hemp rope.
