Beipai Tomb Raiders Notes

In the ancient cave burial in the Miao Village of Dahou Mountain, there was silence, except for a coffin in a hole, and two beams of flashlights dangling back and forth.

Night walker?The Night God of the Ming Dynasty?

After Bean Sprouts said so, it really looks a bit like it!

Because I remember that ancient books describe the characteristics of Ye Youshen as "small cheeks and red shoulders". Small cheeks mean thin face, and red shoulders mean shoulders are exposed.

Looking at the big rusty iron statue in front of him, with a sharp-mouthed monkey cheek and a shirtless shoulder, the two characteristics are completely in line!

"Fengzi, this thing weighs at least forty catties! How much do you think it will be worth if you sell it?"

"This thing is rare. Look at its clothes and decorations. It must be the night travel god worshiped by the local Miao people. It is different from the ones in the northern region. I estimate...it can be worth about 25."

Bean Sprout said excitedly: "25! Then look for it quickly! See if there is any more! What if there is a day tour god!"

"By the way, I just remembered, aren't you fucking unable to move your feet? How did you get up?"

Bean sprouts smiled and said, "Actually, my injury healed up two days ago, but I'm on crutches and someone is waiting for me! Let's just say Panpan, come and see me every day, run for me before and after , and serve tea and water."

I spit out and said with a smile: "Yazi, are you really on good terms with Panpan? I remember that your standard for choosing a mate was very high."

Bean sprouts said loudly: "Fengzi, you are a full man who doesn't know how hungry a man is! You are surrounded by beauties every day, how about me?? My mother's clear soup and water are almost suffocated! Although Panpan is ugly and a little fat It's a bit awkward, but at least she's a woman!"

I smiled and said, "You're panicking, you're hungry, you have more than 1000 million in your card, so you can't spend more money to find a beautiful one? By the way, you remind me of an old man I used to My friend, his name is Pump."

"Water pump??"

Bean Sprout stared and said, "This is a fucking personal name? Why isn't it called Qi Pump?"

I said that man is really a water pump!In addition, his girlfriend's name is Tingting, who looks very similar to your Panpan.

Bean Sprouts rolled his eyes and said, "Okay, don't talk nonsense! Hurry up and look for it! Is there any Riyoushen here?"

After searching around carefully again, there is only this iron statue of the night tour god on the wall.

However, we found another tunnel, and we took a bright flashlight to illuminate it. We felt that the bottom was bottomless, and we didn't know where it led.

Bean Sprout said in a low voice: "This tunnel seems to be carved out by hand, let's go down and have a look?"

I glanced at the cave, and then looked back at the hole in the wall where I just found the big iron statue.

I don't know if it's a coincidence or the former people did it on purpose, but I found that the position of the god's statue is just facing the entrance of the cave.

I thought to myself: "Isn't this fucking suppressing some kind of evil spirit? The Night Traveling God is holding the door to prevent anything from getting out?"

Shaking my head, I quickly dispelled this absurd idea in my mind.

Bean Sprouts got in first, and I followed him closely.

"Why is it so deep?"

This tunnel became shorter and shorter as we walked in. At first we could still stand, but later we had to bend over to walk.

"This movement, did you hear it?"

Bean Sprouts listened attentively, "I heard it, it's the sound of running water."

When we reached the end, a slope suddenly appeared in front of us, and the sound of running water came from down the slope.

After carefully sliding down the small slope, I found that there was a new cave at the bottom.

I moved the flashlight slowly, surveying my surroundings curiously.

Suddenly, I saw a natural stone bed, and on the stone bed, there seemed to be a person lying there!

If this person doesn't move, there is a high probability that he is a dead person.

Bean Sprouts saw it too. He patted me and pointed to the stone bed.

I whispered that I had seen it a long time ago.

Approach carefully and take a photo on the stone bed.

It turned out to be a skeleton in rotten clothes!I don't know how many years I've been dead here!

Seeing this, Bean Sprouts breathed a sigh of relief, and said to me, "Who is this? Why are you lying here? Aren't they all buried outside?"

I shook my head: "I don't know, it's a woman anyway, and she's not very old, she should be around 18 years old at most when she died. Pay attention to her wrist, there is a pair of silver bracelets."

Bean Sprout's eyes lit up when he saw it, and without saying a word, he went straight to his hands and pulled off the exquisite pair of Zanhua silver bracelets.

Because of too much movement, he accidentally broke the metacarpal bone of the female corpse. Bean sprouts hurriedly apologized: "Oh! I'm sorry, beauty! I was careless, so don't mind!"

In addition, there is a small pool in this cave. I speculate that the small pool is connected to a certain mountain spring. The water flow is endless and the water quality is so clear that it can even reflect a human face.

On the rock wall next to the water pool, three characters were carved crookedly with a knife, and the knife marks left by the words are clearly visible.

"Wu Nu Spring."

Bean Sprout said softly: "Zi...Zi female spring?"

"No, your education level is too low, so don't read it blindly if you don't understand it, this word should be pronounced wu, wu girl spring! It means Weaver Girl!" I said.

"Yo! Fengzi, you are highly educated! You graduated from Peking University? You are a Jade Bird of Peking University!"

I ignored the bean sprouts and took a sip of spring water with my head down. The clear spring water was very sweet after entering my throat, and I felt refreshed after two sips.

Bean Sprouts also drank a few sips, he shook his hands, and sighed with a smile: "Fengzi, this water is really sweet! I have an idea, if we use the water here to set up a mineral water company, it won't be issued yet." How about our two partners, called... Doufeng Mineral Water Co., Ltd.?"

"Hurry up and look in the mirror, can you start a company just like you? Hurry up! There is nothing valuable here."

I was carrying half a sack of spoils, and since most of the bags contained various silver ornaments, I walked with tinkling sounds, and Bean Sprouts followed me with the big iron statue of the Night Tourist in both hands.

When I got out of the cave, I rushed down and yelled: "Hold on! Ready to pick up the goods!"

Brother Yu who was waiting below shouted at us: "Understood! Unload it!"

I unloaded the sack first, and as for the big iron statue, I put a rope around its neck and put it down directly.

When Bean Sprout and I came down one after another, it was about ten o'clock in the evening.

Xiaoxuan couldn't wait to open the sack to look at the spoils. She held up the silver bracelet that Bean Sprout had taken from the dead woman's hand, and said excitedly, "This silver bracelet is so beautiful!"

Brother Yu asked about the situation above, and I gave a rough description.

After listening to me, he suddenly frowned and said, "Yunfeng...I feel that the female corpse you described is most likely the former Luohuadong girl."

I was taken aback.

Fallen girl?

Fallen Flower Cave Girl?

"Hey? Turn your head......Don't say it! It's really possible! The age is also suitable!"

The custom of falling flower cave girls used to be very popular in western Hunan. It is rumored that nine out of ten girls who fell into the cave died, and the one who survived was either crazy or stupid.

There are many caves in western Hunan, and where there are caves, there are so-called "cave gods".

A young girl between the ages of 16 and 20, if one day her eyes suddenly become dull, she will ignore anyone who talks to her, and she only likes to do two things every day, one is to put on makeup in front of the mirror, and the other is not Keep cleaning the house, especially the bed, it must be cleaned until it is spotless.

Once this situation occurs, according to the words of the miao masters, the girl is taken by the cave god of a certain cave, and now I just wait for a good day to send the girl to the cave to worship with the invisible "cave god" marriage.

There are two solutions to this matter,

One is that the parents spend a lot of money to hire a famous Miao mage, and let the mage ask the girl which cave god the other party is from, and then the mage will go to the cave to negotiate with the cave god.

Generally speaking: "My daughter is still young, clumsy and clumsy, and I don't know the etiquette. I'm afraid she won't be able to serve Master Dongshen well. I implore Master Dongshen to choose another good match."

If the mage comes back and says that the cave god agrees, the woman's parents will prepare an old hen, tie a red string on the chicken's feet, blindfold the old hen, and finally throw the old hen directly into the cave, which means to send the old hen to the cave. A "dismissal gift" to the cave god.

If the mage says that the negotiation fails, the cave god will take a fancy to your daughter. If you don't send your daughter in before a few days, then your whole family will be in great trouble.

And once you're in the cave, you can't get out...

Just imagine, how many days can a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old survive alone in a closed cave without food or drink?As I said before, in 2023, this custom still exists in some isolated villages in the north-central region of western Hunan, and it has been repeatedly banned.

It sounds ridiculous.

According to the conditions that old Miao people judge whether they are Luodong girls, one is that they are in a poor mental state and sometimes in a trance; .

If there are female friends watching, you might as well take a seat and see if you meet the above conditions.

If so, then don’t go to some remote villages in the north-central part of Xiangxi, maybe the old people in the village will treat you as a cave girl, knock you out, tie you up, and throw you into the cave to marry the cave god. I can't find it when I look for it.

Immediately, she counted her head and said, "Xiaoxuan, the girls in caves all die with resentment. Their things are unlucky, so don't keep playing with them."

Xiaoxuan has been with us for so many years, her courage has been tempered long ago, and she is not afraid of such things on dead people at all, she played with the silver bracelet and said with a smile: "Fuck it, I just think it looks pretty, I want to keep it for myself. "

Sighing his head, he said helplessly, "Oh... that's fine, since you like it, you can keep it for yourself."

"Thank you!" Xiaoxuan smiled happily.

He waved his head and said, "Let's go, the harvest this time is not bad, so let's go back early and rest."

We were carrying our things, chatting and laughing with each other and were about to leave.

"and many more!"

"You guys stop!"

Suddenly, a stranger shouted from behind!

This sudden shout startled us all, and I hurriedly hid the sack behind my back for fear of being discovered.

At this moment, the moonlight was hazy, we looked back, and saw that the person who called us was a middle-aged Miao man in a white waistcoat.

This man is about 40 years old. He is holding a slender bladed seedling knife in his hand. His white hair on the temples is obvious, his skin is a healthy wheat color, his facial features are thin and three-dimensional, and his eyes are very cold and scary. .

Knowing that this person can speak Mandarin, my face changed slightly, and I said to him with a smile: "My fellow, we are part of the archaeological team, and we are here to inspect historical sites."

The other party stared at us with a cold face, and said word by word: "You entered that cave...."

This kind of cold questioning tone made people uncomfortable. Bean Sprouts is a straightforward person, so he immediately replied, "Just go in! What's wrong? Could it be your cave?"

This person suddenly raised the Miao Dao in his hand, and we noticed that the right hand holding the saber had only four fingers!He has no little finger on his right hand!

The leather sheath fell to the ground, and the sharp seedling knife cast a white shadow on his face.

He said in a cold voice: "You disturbed her rest......Damn it."

"Everyone step back!"

Brother Yu seemed to have foreseen some danger, he yelled and charged at this man.
