Bro Flattop knew a lot, so he didn't think much of my father's contemptuous attitude and said,
"Don't ask for too much. The Shang Dynasty just came out of the primitive society. It's not like the other dynasties in China. Under normal circumstances, even the high-ranking royal family would only put funerary objects in the coffin and then dig a hole to bury them. It's already a miracle that the owner of this tomb has such a large tomb.”
His father quickly defended himself, saying,
"I'm not saying that this tomb is small. It felt like there was something missing in this tomb. Why did it look like it had been raided?”
After hearing my father's words, I wanted to laugh. I joked with him,
"Primitive people! This was how life was. Could it be that they had to put a television, refrigerator, and washing machine in here? They couldn't produce them either.”
Father stopped me from saying this and started to spout nonsense.
"If I really can't get anything good, I'll really bring in a few tables and chairs. If they built an underground casino here, it would be the Shang Dynasty Casino. This was much more high-end than " dying here and dying at home."”
After saying that, he didn't give up. He walked to the pots and observed them closely. Then, he sighed,
"Aiya! This doesn't seem to be an ordinary terrine! There were patterns engraved on it. I think this pattern has a lot of artistic value! Doctor Liu, come over quickly and take a look. Give this jar a price!”
He didn't call Bro Flattop over, but he tricked me. He discovered that there was a symbol on each jar. It looked like a painting, but it also looked like words. He could basically confirm that it was oracle bone inscriptions. I didn't know much about oracle bone inscriptions, but it was pictographic characters. From the appearance, I could tell that they were all things like snakes and insects.
I sighed.
"So the owner of this tomb is an old Chinese doctor!”
These jars were his medicine jars, and the symbols on these jars only served as labels. They were far from the decorative patterns that his father had mentioned.
So I said to my father,
"There are no patterns! These were just a few ancient characters. If you had mentioned the research value earlier, then there was another point. The artistic value was purely because you were thinking too much. If you don't mind the trouble, you can take a few home and wash them to make pickled vegetables. Don't even think about selling them for money.”
When my father saw that I had mercilessly destroyed his fantasy, he was so angry that he rolled his eyes and wished he could throw the miner's lamp on my head. In the end, he could only take a jar and throw it on the ground.
"F * ck him! The ancient people didn't do their proper work, so why couldn't they just focus on refining bronze? You only know how to concoct Chinese medicine all day long."
The earthen jar immediately shattered on the stone floor. At this moment, I saw a long thing sticking out of the broken terrine. It was very bright under the electric light, like a pearl necklace. On closer look, it was actually a complete snake skeleton. I saw that this thing was very exquisite and wanted to pick it up. At this time, Flattop Bro also noticed the snake bone and quickly came forward to stop it.
"Don't move! This thing is poisonous!"
When I heard that it was poisonous, my father and I quickly avoided it. Bro Flattop continued,
"I've already noticed that these jars are not only filled with medicine, but also some poisonous insects. Don't provoke them for no reason. If he wanted something valuable, he could look for it in the coffin.”
So we focused all our attention on the coffin.
This coffin is our last hope, so we'll leave it at the end. I also know that the headless dumpling is very likely to be hidden in that coffin. As the saying goes, danger and opportunity coexist. No matter what's in my heart, we'll take it all. If there's a dumpling, we'll take it on the spot. If there's a nether artifact, we'll confiscate it.
We walked toward the coffin at the same time. At this moment, we kicked something and made a metallic sound. I looked down and saw that it was an earth spear, but it had been demolished.
Needless to say, this is our gun. It must have been Zongzi who brought the gun here. I was even more certain that Zongzi was in this coffin.
The gun was already useless, so I didn't care about it. Instead, I looked at the coffin up close. It was a bronze coffin with many animal patterns engraved on it. The design was simple and exquisite. Logically speaking, this bronze coffin should be worth a lot of money, but it's impossible to take such a big thing like me away unless you use a crane.
I gave up on the idea of it and only hoped that there would be some light treasures in the coffin. As the saying goes, you won't cry until you see the coffin. Now that I've seen the coffin, not only do I not want to cry, but my heart is also beating excitedly.
"How about it? After working for so many days, even if he was a coolie, he should be paid!”
At this time, his father pointed to a gap in the coffin cover and said.
"Look at this piece. Was it shot?”
I quickly went over and saw that there was a lot of steel grit embedded in the pattern of the coffin cover. I climbed up and smelled the smell of gunpowder, which was even more certain.
I looked at the useless gun at my feet again and was a little confused.
"Could it be that the dumpling stole our gun and came over to shoot his own coffin? It wasn't that it couldn't be explained, but it was a little absurd!”
" It could have been a misfire," his father said." This dumpling stole our gun and didn't know how to use it. We were going to take it to its coffin to study it. Then, the gun accidentally misfired and hit the coffin lid. This dumpling was also shocked, so it became angry and destroyed the gun.”
Bro Flattop and I laughed.
What happened was no longer important. We put all our energy into the coffin. Without any nonsense, we pushed the lid of the coffin with all our might. At the same time, we were on guard against the dumpling suddenly jumping out.
The coffin that weighed several hundred jin was pushed to the ground with a thud, but there was no movement inside the coffin. Seeing that there was nothing unusual about the coffin, he stuck his head out to take a look. In the end, he would not have known if he did not look. He was shocked when he saw it.
He saw that there were many severed heads in the coffin.
"Damn it. It's so disgusting!"
His father was greatly disappointed, and he wished he could just leave right now. He couldn't help but think of his reaction when he saw me score 36 marks on my math test in primary school.
I'm not that disappointed. He thought,
"Is that so? If it really didn't work out, he could just spend some effort to get this coffin out and sell it. There was no need to complain so much.”
Bro Flattop was calmer than me. He didn't say anything and jumped onto the coffin without a sound. He stepped on the coffin and bent down to search inside.
I felt it was strange, so I jumped on it too. He didn't look carefully just now, but now that he was looking down from above, he could see the situation inside the coffin clearly.
The heads in the coffins were all men and women. Judging from their hairstyles, they should be ancient figures. However, what was strange was that these heads seemed to have just been chopped off. Their faces were rosy, and the blood had not dried yet. Their hair was all black and shiny. Just looking at it sent a chill down his spine.
At this moment, Bro Flattop reached out and took out one. At this moment, I saw that the coffin under the head was covered in a layer of green vines. There was a vine connected to the neck of each head. I quickly jumped into the coffin and opened the leaves to look down. I found that there was a big hole at the bottom of the coffin that seemed to lead to another space underground. The plant grew from below.
I was instantly overjoyed. He said,
"We finally found where Ma Xia farted. Do you think that Zongzi took her baby down there?”。
When his father heard the sound, he hurried over. Seeing the hole under the coffin, he immediately burned with hope and wanted to go down from the tomb immediately.
At this moment, I suddenly heard a scream. I thought someone was injured, but I turned around and saw that it was Bro Flattop pulling out a vine from one of the heads. This caused the head to faint in pain. Then, I saw that one end of the green vine was connected to something black. It vaguely looked like a human figure.
"I guessed correctly!" Bro Flattop said as he looked at this thing.
At this moment, his father was also attracted and quickly turned around to see what was going on.
"What the hell is this?!" I asked.
"Chinese Knotweed!" Bro Flattop said.
"Is it the Chinese Knotweed root for washing hair? No wonder these heads had such shiny hair.”
I felt very strange about this. When my father heard that it was Chinese Knotweed, he was very disdainful about this. He immediately sat on the coffin lid and continued to smoke his cigarette.
"You can grow this yourself. It costs dozens of yuan per catty. It was worthless. If it was wild ginseng, it would be different.”
Our Bro Flattop came down from the coffin and said,
"Is this really a wizard tomb?"
I asked Bro Flattop what he thought, and he explained it to us.
