"System, can you help me get another thing out?"

【cannot】

"I'll pay for it!"

[Host, please find a solution yourself, don't always bother this system]

"You just need to help me take out a small jade item. I want to prove that there is something underneath. I don't want it for myself."

"Help me!"

【No help】

[Host, please stop harassing this system! ]

Seeing that the system really wasn't going to help, Bai Meng could only think of another way.

At this time, an electric tricycle drove over from the village.

Bai Meng's eyes lit up and he shouted, "Master!"

The old man was wearing a sweat shirt and a straw hat. The back of his tricycle was loaded with some farm tools. It seemed that he was going to work in the fields.

The old man stopped the tricycle in front of him and shouted, "Are you lost?"

"I'm not lost, sir. Why is there a puddle on the road?" Bai Meng asked.

Glancing at the puddle, the old man casually said, "This one collapsed during a heavy rain a few days ago. The village is trying to find someone to fill it up these days."

"It collapsed when it rained."

Bai Meng looked at the puddle and asked excitedly, "Uncle, do you think there is an ancient tomb in here?"

"Don't think too much, young man. An ancient tomb would not be built by the water." The old man smiled and shook his head. After saying that, he rode away on his tricycle.

Watching the old man's figure going away, Bai Meng regained his composure and whispered, "Ancient tombs are indeed not built by the water, but what if it is not?"

After taking another look at the puddle, Bai Meng turned around and walked back.

Bai Meng first returned to the car, took off the life bone on his wrist and put it in the storage box.

Then he got out of the car, returned to the parasol, ate some more skewers, drank a can of beer, and shouted to Li Muyu: "Muyu, come here."

"If you have something to say, say it quickly. I'm busy!" Li Muyu was holding a fishing rod and struggling with the fish in the water.

"Did you really catch a fish?" Bai Meng stood up, walked to her side and asked questioningly.

Li Muyu gritted his teeth, said nothing, and exerted force with his waist. A big fish about one foot long was pulled out of the water.

"Wow! This fish is not small!" Bai Meng quickly picked up the scoop net on the ground and caught the big fish.

Seeing that the fish was caught, Li Muyu breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said proudly: "Little brother, can you do it?"

You are so young! Bai Meng glanced at her chest in dissatisfaction.

Li Muyu puffed out his chest proudly, not thinking that there was anything wrong with being flat, and said confidently: "Don't think that big is good, that would be a burden, small is more comfortable!"

Bai Meng didn't know how to respond to this. Should she discuss the big things or the small things with her?

Unhook the fish and put the fish into the tank.

Bai Meng washed his hands by the water, and after getting up, he said mysteriously: "Muyu, I just found a suspicious place, I think it might be an ancient tomb!"

"You wandered around for a few minutes and found the ancient tomb?" Li Muyu looked at him suspiciously, thinking that Bai Meng was fooling her.

"Really? Come with me and you'll know!"

Bai Meng snatched the fishing rod from her hand and dropped it on the ground, then grabbed her wrist and walked to the side of the road, shouting to Xiao Wu, "Brother Wu, keep an eye on the fishing rod."

"Okay, don't go too far." Xiaowu nodded.

The puddle was only ten meters away from where they were fishing, and the two arrived there in no time.

Bai Meng let go of his hand and pointed at the puddle, saying, "I just met an old man, and he said it collapsed because of the rain a few days ago!"

"Do you think that under normal circumstances, you would suddenly fall into a puddle like this?"

Just now, Li Muyu was a little dissatisfied with him suddenly grabbing her wrist, but when she saw the puddle, her brows immediately frowned.

"Did it really collapse suddenly?"

"Really! The old man said that the village is looking for someone to fill it up. People nearby should know about it." Bai Meng said.

Li Muyu walked to the puddle without comment, squatted down, picked up a piece of mud from the edge of the pit, held it in his hand and observed it carefully.

Then she raised her head again, carefully looking at the pit walls around her and the water surface below, and muttered, "The soil layer is fine, but the others are not similar, and none are this small."

Bai Meng stood beside her and said, "Could this be the tomb of a child who died in infancy in the homes of ancient princes and ministers?"

"It could be a puddle caused by a pipe burst. If it's the grave of a dead child..."

Li Muyu frowned and said, "Then his status is not low. The earth pit burial is also a little bigger than this one, and the shape is also different, unless it is an urn burial!"

"Urn burial?" Bai Meng certainly knew what was underneath, and calling it a tomb was just a cover-up.

"Urn burial is the use of pottery such as jars and urns as burial objects to bury infants and young children who have died prematurely. This method was quite popular during the Neolithic period," Li Muyu explained.

Then she added: "If that's the case, it's possible to build it near the water because the soil here is loose and easy to dig."

"Besides, this is Yishui, which is close to the Thyme Ruins. That is the capital of Daqiu, and there are many princes and ministers there."

"But I still think it's just an ordinary puddle."

Li Muyu shrugged and looked at Bai Meng sarcastically: "You don't think that Neolithic tombs are so easy to find?"

Bai Meng asked unwillingly: "What if it is?"

"just in case?"

Li Muyu frowned. This was something that had to be guarded against. Many archaeological discoveries were due to accidents, and then rescue excavations were carried out.

As a result, a large number of ancient artifacts were lost, which is a pity.

However, she had already come to a conclusion, and it was really embarrassing to change her mind so quickly.

Li Muyu thought of this, glanced at Bai Meng, sighed, and said: "Okay, in order to make you give up, go get that 10-meter fishing rod."

"Okay, stay away from the pit and don't fall in." After saying that, Bai Meng ran away.

"You're the one who fell!"

After glaring at Bai Meng fiercely, Li Muyu turned around and began to observe the puddle carefully again, trying to find some clues.

After all, thousands of years have passed, and everything that was originally there has been washed away by time. How can you see anything just by looking?

"As expected, I'm still inclined to believe that this is just an ordinary puddle. I'll hit him hard in the face later!"

"Hmph!" Li Muyu raised his nose and snorted heavily.

Bai Meng quickly came back with a long fishing rod with a fishing line hanging on it.

When Xiaowu heard about what was happening here, he followed curiously.

In fact, he didn't think that they would be so lucky to find the ancient tomb, so he just treated it as a fun thing.

Li Muyu stood at the edge of the pit and pointed down, saying, "Let's measure the depth first. For a pit like this, two or three meters is the maximum."

When they dug the pit, it was as deep as ten people could carry. Minus the stone chamber, it was still more than ten meters deep!

Bai Meng curled up a smile, agreed readily, and stretched the fishing rod to its longest length.

Li Muyu rolled his eyes, thinking that he was wasting time.

Holding the long fishing rod, Bai Meng looked at her and said, "Did I try?"

"Go ahead and try it." Li Muyu said disapprovingly, but in his heart he was laughing at him.

Humph, after today, I will have another handle on you!

Giving her a bright smile, Bai Meng stretched the fishing rod towards the puddle.
