Rebirth 81: Being forced into marriage by my sister’s best friend at the beginning

"So what?" Xu Jieyun said with a smile, "You wouldn't think that tomb robbers at that time wouldn't have transportation, would you?"

Lin Ran replied: "The tomb robbers are not fools. They come here to rob the tomb, but they will not bring a carriage with them."

At that time, it was very dangerous to stay in the forest. Not to mention that there were bandits and robbers everywhere, and there were wild beasts such as wolves and tigers in the mountains. Most people would choose to leave the forest area before camping.

Let alone the past, there are no mobile phones now.

There was no way the contact could just bring the car over after they dug the stuff out.

Therefore, most tomb robbers rely on carrying cultural relics with bare hands for sale.

Therefore, after most tomb robbers dig up something, they will find the nearest place to sell it, even if it is relatively cheap.

Traveling lightly is a rule adhered to by ancient tomb robbers.

Xu Jieyun thought thoughtfully. If the stolen goods were really sold nearby, in her impression, there was no information about ancient tombs from the Tang Dynasty nearby.

It would make sense if it was bought from somewhere far away, but it would conflict with the previous setting.

Not only was it dangerous to bring it from such a far away place, but the items used were also contraband, so I was very strict at that time.

After what he said, Xu Jieyun felt a little shaken.

Xu Jieyun said: "In the Ming Dynasty, businessmen went to other places to do business and brought them back. Is there anything strange about it?"

"In the past, you had to declare goods to clear customs. Do you think you can hide a jade belt like this from the guards?" Lin Ran sighed.

Xu Jieyun is quite smart, but a bit stubborn.

But even so, Xu Jieyun doesn't know how to answer now.

Because according to Lin Ran's reasoning, it is logical and well-founded.

I finally understand why Tang Lanxuan sent Lin Ran here. Not only is he good at identifying cultural relics, but he also has a certain amount of historical knowledge, which will be very helpful for archaeological work.

Mr. Chen suddenly asked: "Captain Xu, have any ancient tombs from the Tang Dynasty been excavated near here?"

Xu Jieyun immediately shook his head: "No."

At that time, I was short of money when I entered Beijing, and the ancient tombs nearby had been dug up, and even the bones were not removed.

At least according to the information of their archaeological team, there are no ancient tombs from the Tang Dynasty nearby.

There are only some ancestral graves of ordinary people, which do not have much research value.

Mr. Chen sighed at this time: "What Mr. Lin said seems to make some sense."

"Yes." Xu Jieyun also nodded, and then looked at Lin Ran, "But this reason alone is not enough to convince. After all, any accident is possible."

It could be heard from her tone that she was beginning to waver.

Unexpectedly, Lin Ran did not continue the argument, but shook his head.

"I don't have any conclusive evidence, I just think about it logically," Lin Ran said.

The archaeological team is different from the Tufuzi. China's attitude towards ancient tombs has always been to protect them over development. They rarely take the initiative to dig out all the contents in the ancient tombs, unless the tomb is about to collapse or the tomb has been excavated. Only when you are an adult can you carry out excavation work.

Known as rescue excavation, this also resulted in the archaeological team being passive.

The nearby Dongcun Tomb was obviously discovered first by the archaeological team, but it was hollowed out by foreign missionaries first. If Lin Ran and others hadn't arrived first, the Eastern Zhou bronzes inside would have been taken away by foreigners. .

You can imagine if a tomb robber discovered the tomb and stole the funerary objects inside.

They won't stop until they dig out everything inside.

There are so many things that can be excavated from this tomb, and it may not have been visited by tomb robbers.

But according to what Mr. Chen told them when they came here earlier, the archaeological team decided to take the risk to excavate this ancient tomb because it was discovered that there was a robbery hole and there was a threat of collapse inside.

After arriving at the scene, Lin Ran didn't have time to see the thief's cave.

But he felt a little strange.

What happened to this group? They dug a hole and were discovered, but they still left so many things in the ancient tomb.

Based on his previous experience as a local master, Lin Ran guessed that something might have happened in the ancient tomb.

Those tomb robbers might be in an emergency situation and didn't have time to bring out other things.

Lin Ran was puzzled.

In the past, he might have thought that the traps in the ancient tombs made it impossible for tomb robbers to come back.

But now, when he saw such a thick jade belt, he felt an ominous premonition in his heart.

Ever since the Yamato Mountain incident, it felt like everything around me had started to become a little abnormal.

Of course, these words were unfounded, and the archaeological team didn't know what happened in Yamato Mountain. Lin Ran promised the military not to tell the story, so naturally he didn't reveal his worries to them.

Lin Ran smiled: "Captain Xu, it's lunch break now, why don't you go have a meal first?"

Although they had objections to Lin Ran, they were here to help the archaeological team after all.

Xu Jieyun said: "We can just go to the nearby Huangshan Village to eat. We found a farmer there to help."

There are still some people working underground. Lin Ran doesn't know if they are in danger. In Xu Jieyun's words, they are now at the bottom level.

Thinking of the previous group of workers, Lin Ran felt something was not right.

While eating, he pretended to ask casually: "Those workers just now, aren't they from this circle?"

Xu Jieyun replied angrily: "No, we hired them from the workers' market in the city."

"Then where did they go to eat?" Lin Ran asked.

The archaeological team should be cooperating directly with some farmers' homes, just like they are sitting in other people's homes to eat.

There were no restaurants in rural areas in this era. If you wanted to eat, you had to pay to go to other people's homes.

In order to save money, most people eat whatever their workplace provides.

Fortunately for this group of people, they didn't even eat with the archaeological team.

"Did they drive here?"

"Yes, they have a leader who drives a truck himself." Xu Jieyun said, "It's okay if others don't eat here. It saves us a lot of trouble. Why do you ask?"

Lin Ran always felt that something was wrong with them, so he just said "oh" and stopped talking.

He spoke empty words and did not reveal his inner worries to Mr. Chen and Xu Jieyun.

Lin Ran always felt that this was too much of a coincidence.

Lin Ran actually planned to go down to the ancient tomb to have a look, but the task they received from the museum was to cooperate outside, and Xu Jieyun would definitely not let him go down to the tomb.

If you want to go down, you have to think of other ways.
