Chapter 8 The Water Tank-The Northern School Tomb Raider’s Notes

I also pulled out my snakeskin sack and squatted down, stuffing bronzes into it.

Those round tripods and square tripods are heavy weight and I struggle to hold them, third brother takes care of me, he lets me pick up the small ones to load.

I’ll just load up on those bronze beans and the smaller bronze jars, which are not surprisingly stacked together, as they were kitchen utensils during the Western Zhou, Spring and Autumn period.

The bronze tripod was used to cook meat, the jennet was used to drink wine, and the bronze beans were used to put salt and seasoning, which is the equivalent of the vinegar dish we modern people eat dumplings dipped in vinegar.

What do you mean, picking up money in a sack? I’m picking up money in a sack at this point.

I’m thin and not very strong, so when I saw that I had almost stuffed my sack, I was ready to send it up first.

I twisted my head from side to side, when the headlamp just happened to shine into a corner in the ear room.

“Hmm? What’s that? A water tank?” ??

“Ergo! Quick look! There’s a tank!”

Sun Lao Er was concentrating on stuffing the copper tripod into the bag, and he was startled by my sudden loud voice.

“Crap, what are you yelling about Yun Feng, you scared me.”

I said Ergo, there’s a vat in the corner, it’s huge.

He didn’t even look up and said, “That’s crude pottery, not as valuable as bronze, too big to be transported down the mountain, selling it for a thousand or eight hundred is not enough to pay for kung fu, we don’t want that stuff.”

After listening to Sun Lao Er’s words, and looking at the large water tank covered with a stone lid, I still didn’t go over.

Laboriously carrying a bag of bronzes, he tripped back through the water, when a rope was lowered from the dunking on the tomb passage.

General Wang’s voice came from above: “Yunfeng, tie the snakeskin bag, tie it firmly, you can go back to load it when you’re done, make it quick, we don’t have much time.”

I twisted the snakeskin pocket full of bronzes a couple of times and tied it to the rope, then the snakeskin bag went up a little bit, at which point I pulled my head on it.

For the next hour or so, we worked overtime and shipped out a total of eight large bags full of bronzes.

At this time, the walkie-talkie came from the head of the Wang urged voice: “You three quickly come up, soon the day will be bright, we have to quickly down the mountain.”

You know what Jenga is?

I was toppled to the top of the dunking first by the Sun brothers in a stack, and then the king above put his head down a length of rope and yanked me up.

The Sun brothers are even more cattle, they went up to the top of the irrigation even after the rope is not used, directly two feet propped up by the thief hole climbed up.

After coming up, Sun Lao Er couldn’t hide the smile on his face.

He looked at the bulging snakeskin bags on the ground and asked with a smile, “Handlehead, how many points do you think this must be?”

Wang shook his head and laughed: “There are specialties in the arts, a few points this matter or have to ask the boss, this matter he estimates accurate.”

Later I learned that the few points they talked about meant tens of thousands, one point was 10,000, and a hundred points was a million, and with the wage level at that time in ’00, a lot of people couldn’t earn a single point a year.

Boss Sun did the release and sales.

As long as there was no situation, he usually didn’t talk over the intercom, and in turn, if Boss Sun took the initiative to talk over the intercom while he was working, it must have been a stranger in the neighborhood.

“Put the head, this is only a west ear room, there is also the east ear room, this fucking is also strange, froze did not see the main chamber, I see we have to build a base here, have not found the main chamber, God knows how many treasures inside, this trip work, no ten days eight days can not do.”

“Base,” in the grave-robbing business specifically refers to a situation where you come across a large tomb that can’t be touched in a day or two, and you have to design a base around this large tomb.”

In the early years, when acquaintances in the grave robbing business met, they would often ask: “Who is that? I heard that you hit two big bases last year?”
