The night in the desert was a little desolate and beautiful, but the starry sky above was not just any ordinary beauty. It would be great if the person accompanying him was a beauty!
Unfortunately, the person drinking tea at the side was Guan Xingquan, a man who was blocking the view. Fortunately, there was a cemetery at the side.
"I've seen many dead people. They're bloody, smelly, fried into minced meat, and broken into two pieces. However, I've never seen this dried corpse before.”
"Have you seen ham before? It's even more dry than that!"
Of course, he had seen ham before and still liked it. Qin Shi was deliberately trying to disgust Guan Xingquan.
"But Brother Long, you're quite backward. Last year, there was a messy exhibition hall in the capital that held a thousand-year-old corpse exhibition. I even brought Sister Ping to see it. The dried corpses in the glass coffins, the freaks soaked in formalin in the glass bottles, the ones with two heads and four legs…"
He continued to say,"At that time, Sister Ping was not afraid at all. She looked fresh. She probably didn't even know what fear was."
"I haven't seen it before. I heard that there are also some in Chengdu. He really couldn't understand why people nowadays were so curious about everything. He didn't even know what they were thinking about when they could earn money by moving a corpse and a few specimens from the medical school.”
After hearing Long Zhixi's words, he sighed," He could see the current society from the perspective of an experienced person, but Brother Long really couldn't understand the 1970s.
"People are fickle, impetuous, and curious about things they have never seen before.”
Thinking back to the disco that was extremely popular not long ago, and the Qigong craze two years ago, there were really Qigong masters everywhere. Treating decades of paralysis seemed to be easier than curing a small cold!
There were also things like hearing things, the Himalayan Yeti, the Shennongjia savages…All kinds of supernatural incidents seemed to be happening everywhere, and some non-serious magazines were also adding fuel to the fire!
Even if the people didn't believe it, they believed it-all kinds of strange things, ghosts, and monsters came out!
The so-called secret news that circulated on the internet in the later generations were all made up in the 1980s!
It was the magical 80s.
"Oh right, have you heard of the legend of the Pisces Pendant?”
"Lop Nur? That was nonsense! Otherwise, even someone as confidential as me would know a little about the situation and make it even more mysterious than Martians. I've even worked with the officers of the Northwest Military Region who investigated this matter after the special period. Speaking of this matter, according to them, they said that they had nothing to do and that someone's brain had gone crazy!
Taklama had disappeared and died many years ago. He had a rich imagination.
If one didn't make full preparations after entering the Sea of Death, they would most likely be finished!”
Qin Shi smiled." That's what I thought too. There's no such thing as that."”
He had dug up so many ancient tombs and had seen dried bones, dried corpses, and even bone fragments. However, he had never seen a living zombie!
Dumplings? Black donkey hooves?
Nonsense! Who are you lying to!
However, what happened next made Qin Shi and Brother Long recall those words and find them childish.
"There's also the Lop Nur expedition in 1978. The expedition team didn't make enough preparations in the early stages. They still wanted to go deep into the Gobi Desert when they had no water or oil.
After that, you even caused such a huge commotion during the rescue operation. Hehe…"
Brother Long thought of many things.
"This group of people is crazy. This Gobi Desert is like the primeval forest in the southwest. How can there be a place where luck exists and man can conquer nature!
If you act recklessly, you will only become a dried corpse!"
"Haha, Brother Long, you still say that you haven't seen it before. You keep saying that it's a dried corpse. It seems that you're definitely fated to be a dried corpse. I'll let you dig as much as you want tomorrow!”
Brother Long threw a cucumber stem over.
"You're the one fated with the mummy! It's late. Go to sleep."
As he spoke, Brother Long placed a few large pieces of thick wood on the fire. It was best to burn the fire for a night in the wild camp.
Although the snow in the Kunlun Mountains had melted in the summer, and the Niya River had risen and flooded, it was still far from here. There probably wouldn't be any large animals wandering here. The two of them could sleep in the tent without worry.
The nature of animals made them stay away from this sea of death, unlike humans who often sought death themselves!
He used an alarm clock so that he could start work at dawn and avoid the hottest time of the day.
He woke up, washed his face, brushed his teeth, and had breakfast.
After putting everything into the car, he took out his equipment and prepared to start work. At this time, the sky had just brightened up, and the time was just right.
He was packing up because although he estimated that he would not be able to finish it in a day, he could not slack off. God knew if someone would run here because of a brain attack. After packing up, he could leave at any time. Anyway, it would not take much time to set up two tents.
The terrain where the cemetery was located seemed to be slightly higher than the surrounding area. The weather was quite cold in the early hours of the morning, probably around 10 degrees.
The last time he was here, he had seen this cemetery that had been excavated. But even so, it was impossible to pinpoint the exact location. This place was at least 100 square meters, and with the error in his memory, he drew the circle almost twice as big.
The old method was to use the metal detector first. Two thousand years ago, metals were precious. This place couldn't be like the mainland, where nails, iron sheets, and cans were everywhere to cause trouble.
After a round of investigation, he felt that there were reactions in five places.
Qin Shi was a little dumbfounded. He remembered that during the joint archeological expedition, nine well-preserved tombs of the Han Dynasty had been discovered and cleaned up within an area of 100 square meters.
"Perhaps there were no metal products in the tombs, or they were buried too deep to be found?”He thought to himself.
"Brother Long, we might have to do something big this time. It might take many days.”
Brother Long looked at the general location drawn by Zhang Nan.
"Why? Can't you confirm the exact location?”
"Yes. There should have been nine tombs here, but only five places had responded. It was troublesome.”
"If you remove all the sand, can you see the exact location of the tomb?"”
Just now, Brother Long had tested it with an engineer shovel. The floating sand here was actually only 50 to 60 centimeters to one meter deep. The sand below was obviously different from the sand above.
"Sure!"
He was very confident about this point. He had worked as a local craftsman and worked at the construction site for more than ten years. If he still could not tell if the surface soil had been disturbed, then he really could not survive!
Moreover, the area was at most 200 square meters. He could find it no matter what.
"Then let's fight! We'll dig those five places first. If we don't find what you're looking for, we'll just become stevedores on the sand field. There are at most 200 tons of sand here. We can use the basket and the pole to carry it. It's not a problem for the two of us to carry about 10 tons a day. We can clear all of it in half a month at most!”
The food in the car could last them for nearly one and a half months, but if they used the same amount of water as yesterday, they could only last for more than a week. However, it was summer now, and floods were everywhere. As long as they drove 40 to 50 kilometers south, they would be able to find a filtered water source that was drinkable.
Brother Long knew how to make the filter. It would be a joke if the special forces did not know how to make it. The army even had water purification tablets.
If they wasted a day, they could still go to Minfeng to take a bath, get some oil, and buy some fruits and vegetables. It would not be a problem to stay here for a few months.
As for the basket and carrying pole, I've already prepared them. I bought them when I passed by Hetian. Niya is full of sand, so I don't need them to bother you.
They randomly chose a place and the two of them started to work.
Brother Long shoveled sand, and in the Qin Dynasty, he was a porter.
A load of sand weighed at least 100 kilograms, and it could be dumped after being picked out for more than 20 meters.
They jumped dozens of loads and changed shifts. Unknowingly, it was already past 10 o'clock. The two of them had been working for more than two hours. They had long taken off their coats and were sweating all over. The sun was already very strong!
The first pit was 3.5 meters long and 1.8 meters wide. The 70 - 80 centimeters thick floating sand had been removed. The lower part was relatively solid yellow soil with sand.
Qin Shi looked carefully.
"This yellow soil isn't the original soil. It has been disturbed, and the tomb is right below.”
However, he couldn't do it now. The weather was too hot. He had to retreat quickly! The two of them were also covered in dust. They had just done the work of a groundhog and a sand field porter, and they were all dry sand.
Fortunately, they were all wearing headscarves, or else there would be sand in their hair.
He put away his tools and returned to the jeep to rest at the ruins. It was definitely not the time to work in the middle of the day, so he quickly found a shady place to hide.
