Pangzi's body was about one circle bigger than Zha Wenbin, and Ye Qiu was similar to Zha Wenbin on a daily basis. So if he wanted to let Pangzi drill in, the height of the opportunity had to be at his knee. It's really unknown how that guy did it, Pangzi personally saw him tremble little by little, and finally pulled open the stone gate with brute force. Until Ye Qiu closed his eyes and asked: "Can you get in?" Only then did Pangzi wake up like a dream, and he rolled and crawled to really drill in.
Below the stone gate, a lot of rubble had already accumulated, and Fatso also inserted the broken engineer's shovel into the pile. Ye Qiu slightly relaxed his grip, and the stone gate suddenly sank rapidly downwards. To say that it was fast, Fatso had never seen anything like it in his life; he didn't even see how Ye Qiu did it, only seeing a long leg slide inside, with Ye Qiu's back against the ground, half of his body already inside, and the other half still outside. At this moment, the only things holding up the massive stone were the rubble that Fatso had temporarily piled up, and the force exerted by Ye Qiu's hands pulling upwards.
Fat boy heard Ye Qiu panting heavily outside the door, and he himself didn't care about anything, using his hands to pull upwards inside. As long as Ye Qiu couldn't hold on to that stone and it fell down, relying on those broken stones and a shovel, I don't know if they could withstand one or two seconds. If they couldn't withstand it, Ye Qiu would basically be crushed into two pieces.
Staring at the pair of hands that didn't stop trembling as they pulled upwards, Ye Qiu rested for a moment before letting out another earth-shattering roar. The rock was actually pushed up two more inches by him in this manner. Suddenly, he shouted loudly: "Get out of my way!"
Fatso dodged to the side just in time, and at that moment, Ye Qiu suddenly let go of his grip on the stone door. Without support, it immediately fell downwards. Fatso heard the weak "creaking" sound of the shovel, which had completed its mission. Just as Ye Qiu was about to make a move, he suddenly exerted force with both hands and pushed himself sideways towards the inside. Fatso saw him making a dash for it and quickly pulled up Ye Qiu's pant leg, pulling him back. One person was pulling from the inside, while the other was pushing from the outside. It was unclear whether Ye Qiu owed his safety to good luck or quick reflexes, but in any case, he managed to force his way inside. Turning around to look, those broken stones had already been crushed and scattered to both sides. That guy, except for some minor scratches on his hands due to excessive force, was unscathed and now lay inside catching his breath.
Pangzi and Ye Qiu had no idea that the door they opened would change the course of history in western Zhejiang, and even affect the development of Chinese civilization as a whole.
Fat boy is now somewhat afraid, if there was a slight deviation just now, Ye Qiu would probably never come back. He lay on the bed and patted his brother who still hadn't recovered: "Are you crazy?"
Ye Qiu's response made him almost collapse, and he said seriously, panting heavily: "I really don't have any money..."
Okay, you have no money to play with your life, the fat man thoroughly changed his view of Ye Qiu at that moment. Before, he thought Ye Qiu was a high and cold person, even a bit ruthless, in his world there was only himself, silent and taciturn, not speaking or laughing, as if nothing could arouse his interest. Now, because of his own cowardice, he saw the simplicity, kindness, and persistence on Ye Qiu's body, he was always silently doing everything he could do, if you needed him at any time, he would rush to the front without hesitation, then he would quietly retreat back to his own position.
At that moment, Pao Tzu's eyes were really a little moist, but as soon as he thought about Ye Qiu's current clothes being no different from those of a beggar, his innate heartlessness suddenly let out a "heh" and laughed with such joy.
This combination of the two is also quite bizarre. The fat man stood up and pulled up Ye Qiu, this guy's stuff was well-prepared, except for the miner's lamp on his head, he had a bag on his back, which contained all sorts of "professional equipment" such as candles, flashlights, and thin steel ropes. He even managed to get a string of firecrackers inside, just in case they encountered something troublesome and needed to scare it off with a few explosions. Who told him that he couldn't get a gun now...
So what kind of world is this door?
First, it was stifling, with an unbearable humidity that made the air thick with the smell of rot and mold. Then there was a strong fishy smell, "just like the fish stalls at the market." This is how Pangzi later described it to Cha Wenbin. Inside the stone gate was a narrow passageway, with rotten wood lining both sides. The walls, floor, and ceiling were all made of wood, but unfortunately, many places had collapsed. The wet yellow mud mixed with black rotting matter looked like it had been washed over by water. When Pangzi saw this scene, his heart sank halfway. He thought to himself that he might not find anything valuable after all, as everything was buried in the dirt. But then half of something protruded from the ground, giving him infinite hope again. At first glance, when Pangzi shone his headlamp on it, he thought it was just a rock. But at second glance, he saw that it had copper-green patterns on its surface, and he couldn't help but laugh out loud with excitement.
That was obviously a bronze ware, and it wasn't small in size. The half that was exposed above the ground should be an ear. Fatso immediately rushed over to dig it up. The more he dug, the bigger the thing seemed to get. Ye Qiu also followed to help, only hearing Fatso's non-stop muttering: "We're going to get rich, we're going to get rich!"
The object was finally completely cleaned up by the two, it was a square-shaped object about 50 cm long and 30 cm wide, with exquisite beast face patterns on its surface, with a circular ring on each side that had not been completely rusted. The top opening is trumpet-shaped, with a waist-reducing technique in the middle, and there are two unnamed animal heads on either side of the waist. Humphrey recognized this "Zun" at a glance, which belongs to a type of wine vessel. The discovery of such a specification and shape of Zun means that he has found a treasure trove here.
Fatso lovingly wiped the object with his clothes, looking at him with a happy expression. Ye Qiu asked: "Is this thing valuable?"
"Ah, what a find!" He exclaimed as he hugged Ye Qiu and kissed her forehead twice, laughing maniacally. "Haha, I've actually found something of this quality! Even those old guys in Xi'an probably haven't seen anything like it in their lifetime. If I can get this out and sell it to that kid Zhu Zihao...!" Thinking about his impending fortune made Fatso laugh even harder. He thought to himself that there must be more good stuff inside, but the bronze vessel was valuable, yet not something they usually took because it was too hot to handle. Only those big shots with deep backgrounds and wide connections dared to trade in bronze vessels. Each time one of these things surfaced, it meant a national treasure had been born. If you got caught trading porcelain, jade, gold, or jewels, you could still talk your way out of it, saying they were passed down from your ancestors. But if you got caught trading bronze vessels, what would you say? That your ancestors had been passing them down since the Shang Dynasty?!
It was around 1983, the peak of the severe crackdown. At that time, our country experienced one of the most severe strikes against crime in the history of new China. From top to bottom, everyone was on high alert, and even the slightest mistake could lead to imprisonment. Looking back, crimes like gambling would have been punishable by extreme penalties at that time. That year, unmarried men and women dancing together could be convicted of hooliganism. Just imagine, if Fatso had smuggled this thing out, it's strange he wouldn't have been shot!
Those two years, many tomb raiders were caught and punished, and the big shots in the underworld also retreated to avoid trouble. However, the more severe the crackdown, the higher the prices of cultural relics on the market soared, because rare goods are precious after all. So Fatso decided to take a risk, but he was still a clever person, knowing that he couldn't carry large items himself, and he wouldn't do things that would put his life at risk for money. Therefore, he put the helmet back again and said to Ye Qiu: "Let's get some small and easy-to-carry items, we'll store them here first, and come back when it's safer. The situation is too tense now, so you must keep this a secret, not even telling Cha Ye about it, or else we'll all be in trouble."
The two of them continued forward, and after about 20 meters, the fat man's headlamp shone on a patch of snow that was so bright it was almost dazzling.
In front of us, another gate appeared. This gate was originally a pair, but later it was estimated that one of them was destroyed by the flood, leaving only one remaining. The light shone on it, and even after so many years, it still shines brightly, made from a single piece of high-quality Han white jade, intricately carved with nails as big as chestnuts, densely covering the surface with screw threads. What opened Fatso's eyes was the door ring on the gate, which was completely integrated with the jade door but could rotate, and one can imagine that if the craftsmen who carved it back then were even slightly careless and broke this jade ring, the entire gate would have to be rebuilt.
Such a thing, such specifications, such craftsmanship, this is probably the highest level of tomb that Fatso has ever seen in his life. He was so excited that both hands were trembling, lightly touching the icy jade door, and he had already begun to calculate how to dismantle it and take it back...
Suddenly, Ye Qiu blurted out: "We can't get in through this door."
The fat man was pulled back to reality by him in an instant. He looked at Ye Qiu with a serious face and said, "What? Can't get in? It's open inside."
"I've seen this pattern before, General Shi. My intuition tells me that there's something strange behind this door." Ye Qiu's hand lightly touched the door ring on the half-door, which was connected to a circular pattern that resembled an animal but wasn't quite one, and looked like a person but not quite as ferocious.
Ye Qiu's intuition was something he had seen before, and being reminded of it made him quickly withdraw his hand. But could the things that were already in his hands be abandoned just because of Ye Qiu's so-called intuition? The fatty was clearly unwilling...
