Chapter 0246 – The Five Pecks of Clay

“Brother Zhuang, your Tibetan Mastiff is awesome!”

The two saw that the danger was lifted. Hurriedly ran back again, the little girl’s love for the white lion was even more overflowing, that demeanor was itching to jump up and hug the white lion and kiss it.

“Don’t go over.”

Zhuang Rui pulled Meng Qiuqian, just now the white lion is a surprise, only this person will be subdued, in case of letting go of his words, I’m afraid that want to subdue him again, the white lion is going to hurt people.

“Eh mother oh, who’s dog ah? Quickly pull away ah! It’s going to kill someone.”

This will Ermao and Fan wrong also panting ran to, followed by an old woman, is one of the noon delivery of food, see the ground that lying a person and a dog, can not help but shouted up.

Zhuang Rui did not pay attention to the old ladies, but on the two hair asked: “two hair, this person is your manor? How come he came up and had to chop people with a knife?”

“Not from our manor, this is Yu Laosan, a relative of a family in our manor, Brother Zhuang, you come, I’ll tell you ……”

Ermao looked at the man on the ground. Pulled Zhuang Rui out a dozen meters, whispered the person’s history told Zhuang Rui.

It turns out that this Yu Laosan is a year ago in the Liu Family Village, is the village of the Yu family boss of the Henan relatives, due to the length of the more shabby people, can not stay outside, followed by the Yu boss to come here to mix a mouthful of food.

Crops are more simple, although this Yu Lao-san looks more scary, but no one laughed at him, who knows that this Yu Lao-san’s liquor is not good, drink too much like to look for people to fight not to mention that, but also often molested the village’s small daughter-in-law and big girls.

Liu Jiaxing is a family of martial arts, the Zhuang Zhuang’s martial arts many, after Yu Laosan lessons a few times, Yu Boss on the pretext that this relative is too much trouble, sent to this mountain nest to see the orchard.

Ermao was also afraid of death, whispered to Zhuang Rui: “Brother Zhuang, let go of him! We’re here, he doesn’t dare to cause trouble.”

“White Lion, come here.”

Zhuang Rui greeted, and the white lion stretched out its blood-red tongue and licked at Yu Laosan’s face before releasing its claws and running back to Zhuang Rui’s side.

“Murder, biting someone to death ah!”

This lick but Yu Laosan was scared to death, pulling his throat and dry howling again, after a few screams. Discovered that the big dog is no longer there, hastily climbed up, the body did not stand up straight, even rolled over that railing, the shorts that cover the shame fell to the knees did not know, palpitating, looking at Zhuang Rui side of the white lion.

“Rascal.”

The little girl spat and twisted her face away.

“You let us in, we’re just taking some underground soil samples, we won’t destroy your orchard.”

Zhuang Rui heard that this orchard is indeed contracted by the people in Liu’s family, and he doesn’t want to make too much of a mess with them, after all, he is still Lao San’s guest!

“You say will not destroy will not destroy it? You hand that Luoyang shovel, if shoveling bad tree roots how to do? This orchard is contracted by my big brother, without my big brother’s orders, no one wants to come in.”

Yu Laosan also came back to God at this time, although he didn’t dare to go out to find fault again, but his tone was still very rude, and he said that he wouldn’t let Zhuang Rui and the others to go in.

“Luoyang shovel?”

Zhuang Rui heard this term from Yu Laosan’s mouth, could not help but freeze, although he had long heard of the great name of the Luoyang shovel, but if not seen with his own eyes, he could not recognize that this thing is the Luoyang shovel. Why this Yu Laosan can call it out in one breath?

Perhaps there are too many grave robbers on this side of Shaanxi, and they have all seen it before! Zhuang Rui remembered what Ermao had once said to himself and looked for an explanation, but there was still a trace of doubt stored in his heart.

“Yes! This is the orchard contracted by our Zhuang Yu family brothers, you guys went in and dug around, whose loss is this?”

The middle-aged woman who came with Ermao, also spoke towards Yu Laosan, but Zhuang Rui was a bit strange that there were three or four old ladies who came to deliver the food, how come she was the one who came to fight?

“Xiao Zhuang, you first play some exploratory holes in this periphery to see the soil quality, don’t argue with the old folks!”

Professor Meng also got the news and came over with a hiking stick.

“Grandpa, it’s this person who is unreasonable and a hooligan.” The little girl complained, she has never seen such an ugly thing, and now her heart is still “thumping” straight to it!

Prof. Meng didn’t pay attention to his granddaughter, and instructed Zhuang Rui and the others, “Alright, it’s too hot today, you guys extract the soil around here, and then let’s go back!”

Zhuang Rui and the others agreed, each looking for a place to probe downward with a Luoyang shovel, that Yu Laosan saw that a few people did not ask to enter the orchard again, cursed and turned around to go back.

This Luoyang shovel to take soil samples, is also a strength work, and in the beginning. Depending on the hand vigorously smashed the shovel down, Luoyang shovel drilled into the soil, and then brought up, semi-circular shovel in the middle, will bring up a cylinder of round soil.

Zhuang Rui just began to hit down the hole, or feel more strenuous, but in playing a diameter of about twenty to thirty centimeters, the depth of two meters or so of the small pit, to find the trick, it turns out that the more down, the more relaxed, and so the hole is deep, with the inertia produced by the Luoyang shovel itself down, you can go deeper into the soil, they only need to raise the shovel up on it.

Professor Meng also followed Zhuang Rui next to teach him how to make force and force, which also has the skill, you can use the weight of the Luoyang shovel, so that you use very little force, will be the Luoyang shovel down.

After Professor Meng’s teaching, Zhuang Rui’s movements became skillful after getting the hang of it, plus he could use his aura to eliminate the soreness and weakness of his arms. Basically, he was like a cyborg, repeating an action over and over again, making the little girl next to him look dumbfounded.

While Little Fan and Ying Ning were still fighting with the first exploratory hole, Zhuang Rui had already started to hit the third exploratory hole, the first two were hit down 14 or 15 meters deep, and in the soil brought out by the Luoyang shovel, there was no ripe soil after the little girl’s identification.

Zhuang Rui is also learning to distinguish the difference between cooked soil and raw soil, which is an important basis for discovering whether there is a tomb underground.

Cooked soil can also be called five-flower soil, because when digging a grave pit, the layers of cooked and raw soil of different colors in the pit will be dug out. After burial, these mixed soils are then backfilled into the pit, forming the so-called five-flower soil. In general, if the soil brought out by the Luoyang shovel is five-flower soil, in all likelihood, there is a burial underneath.

And from the five flowers of the soil, can also distinguish the topographic distribution of the burial pit, if the five flowers of the soil is less thin scattered, may be the tomb channel, if the thick concentration of more, may be the burial chamber, so that after looking at the soil can be positioned to find the burial chamber.

As for the difference between mature soil and raw soil, it requires a certain amount of experience. Simply put, some of the five-flower soil will contain weeds, construction debris, human remains, and other cultural legacies, while the raw soil does not.

Of course, some of the five flowers of the soil is also more pure, then you need to carefully observe the soil quality, in general, the soil contains capillaries, five flowers of the soil inside the capillaries are disorganized, while the capillaries in the native soil is basically vertical.

These things, oral pen is difficult to have an intuitive impression, Zhuang Rui in the little girl’s guidance, the Luoyang shovel brought out the soil one by one after the identification of the soil, on the raw soil is to figure out, but even played four more than ten meters deep probing holes, did not see the five flowers of the soil.

Although every time before choosing a place to hit down the Luoyang shovel, Zhuang Rui would use his aura to first screen the underground, but these soils gave him the same feeling, occasionally there would be some stone blocks rotten roots and other things, but there was no presence of tombs.

“Dang!”

With the dull sound made by the Luoyang shovel touching the underground soil, Zhuang Rui alternated his hands and pulled the rope quickly, lifting the Luoyang shovel up and knocking it on the ground a few times, letting the soil that the shovel had brought out scatter on the ground.

This is already the fifth probe hole he played, next to the few people have long been watching dumbfounded, look at the appearance of Zhuang Rui gentle, who did not expect, he has so much strength and endurance endurance. No wonder he dared to compete with that yin and yang face strong man just now!

“Cough …… Xiao Zhuang, take a break! This Rome wasn’t built in a day, when we return to the excavation place over there, I’ll point out the five-flower soil to you.”

Professor Meng for Zhuang Rui’s dry energy is also some can’t eat, is when he was young, even playing two exploratory holes also have to rest for half a day, I did not expect that this young man is not only learned, actually still a fierce Zhang Fei.

“It’s fine, not tired, Prof. Meng, I’ll rest after I finish this probing hole.”

Casually talking to Professor Meng, Zhuang Rui brought up the Luoyang shovel again, now playing this exploratory hole, has been very close to that piece of fruit forest, from the length of the rope put down can be judged, now the exploratory hole has been fourteen or fifteen meters deep.

“Huh, this soil color is a bit wrong ah?”

Zhuang Rui found that this tube of soil brought up by Luoyang shovel, after knocking to the ground did not scatter, but was erected in a cylindrical shape, and the color of the soil was brown, completely different from the soil sample taken out just now.

Zhuang Rui squatted down his body, used his hand to set aside this piece of soil, and saw that the brown color was in the form of a line, and after rubbing it with his fingers, it immediately turned into powder, which was a little bit unlike soil.

Professor Meng’s face was a bit grave, looked around and said, “This brown color is not soil.”

“Not dirt?” Zhuang Rui froze for a moment.

“Well, this is the traces left behind after the wood has decayed in the soil, look at this edge is very neat, the grain is straight, it’s not the wood that died naturally and rotted down, but it’s processed.”

Professor Meng stood up as he spoke, looked at the orchard not far away, and said, almost to himself, “Sure enough, it’s in that place! I wonder how much is left.”

“What did you say?” Zhuang Rui didn’t hear Professor Meng’s words clearly.

“Nothing, go give them a shout, it’s closing time today.”

Professor Meng didn’t answer Zhuang Rui’s words, and used his foot to stamp the clumps of earth under the ground to scatter them, and turned around and left, leaving the bewildered Zhuang Rui standing there dumbfounded.
