Chapter 216 Live broadcast of tomb robbery?
"Well, there might be tomb robbers on the opposite hill."
Du Ruo nodded and said what Xiang Yuanyuan had not said.
As the saying goes, money can move people's hearts, and tomb robbing has been impossible to stop since ancient times.
What's more, with the value of antiques rising day by day, there will always be people who take risks to search for gold.
"Then shall we go and take a look?"
Xiang Yuanyuan said excitedly while clenching her fists. This was her first thought, because she knew Du Ruo's fighting power. She didn't know when she started to think of using force to solve the problem first.
"You really want to see it?"
Du Ruo looked at Xiang Yuanyuan's excited expression and found it a little funny.
"Yeah, I think so!"
Xiang Yuanyuan nodded his head like a chick pecking at rice. Tomb robbing was something I had only seen on TV dramas or in the news, but I never thought I would encounter it in real life one day.
"Okay, let's go over there. Oh, and take my phone. If it's confirmed, you can use my phone to call the police."
Du Ruo was actually quite curious about who were the people who were still robbing tombs in modern society. While talking, Du Ruo asked Xiang Yuanyuan to take his cell phone, and then the two of them prepared to sneak over and take a look.
At this time, they were actually quite far away from each other, and if they wanted to get to each other, they had to go around half of the Fairy Lake.
As for the situation along the shore of Fairy Lake, the two of them took a walk around it tonight and got a glimpse of it.
There are more snakes by the lake at night than during the day. Du Ruo didn't even dare to let Xiang Yuanyuan walk on the ground, but walked on the ground with her on her back.
Traces of snakes could be seen every few meters. Although every step Du Ruo took made some noise and scared the snakes away, some snakes remained unmoved.
Du Ruo simply ignored them. The only good thing was that some lazy snakes, which seemed to be full, did not leave after hearing the noise, but they also had no desire to attack.
So Du Ruo walked over with Xiang Yuanyuan on his back and was not attacked.
"Honey, these should be the original funerary stone statues. Maybe there was a mudslide in the past, or they were pushed down by humans. We didn't think so when we saw them, but now they look pretty beautiful."
Xiang Yuanyuan lay on Du Ruo's back, swinging her legs. She subconsciously lowered her voice when she spoke, and looked at the half-buried stone statue in the reflection of the lake.
In fact, it was not that they didn't notice it, but during the day, they were attracted by the snakes above and didn't think much about how there would be tombs in a place full of snakes.
Moreover, normal people would at most sigh when seeing tombs on the mountain. Who would have thought it was such a coincidence that someone would come to rob the tombs.
"Ah."
Du Ruo nodded slightly. In fact, he didn’t care much whether she was beautiful or not.
As he spoke, Du Ruo stood where he was, looking around, trying to find if there was any path up the mountain.
"Hubby, there's no road near the river, the road is over there."
Xiang Yuanyuan seemed to know what Du Ruo was thinking and pointed to the valley not far away. When the two of them went there during the day, they found a way down, but it was cut off at the lake. The two of them did not check it out at the time. Now it seems that there should be a small path over there that leads up the mountain.
Du Ruo didn't waste any words. He carried Xiang Yuanyuan to the edge of the valley, walked down the valley for about ten meters, and found a small path leading to the mountain.
Walking on the road, Du Ruo found that there was no grass on the ground and the thorns on the side had been almost cleared. It can be seen that although this road is not walked on every day, it is not completely unused.
Walking along this path, the vision became much darker. Fortunately, Du Ruo could see normally in the dark, so Du Ruo carried Xiang Yuanyuan on his back and walked silently on the jungle path.
The further they walked, the closer they seemed to be to the hillside. Du Ruo could sense that Xiang Yuanyuan's heartbeat on his back was getting faster and faster.
Du Ruo carried Xiang Yuanyuan on his back and walked to an intersection. He seemed to hear the sound of people talking not far away, and occasionally saw faint lights, but these were only audible to Du Ruo, while Xiang Yuanyuan could only hear the sound of insects.
Du Ruo also frowned. He could hear someone talking over there, and vaguely heard what the other party was saying. However, the more he heard, the more suspicious Du Ruo became.
"Shh~"
Du Ruo put Xiang Yuanyuan down, made a gesture to keep quiet, and did not rush Xiang Yuanyuan to call the police. Then he held Xiang Yuanyuan's hand and walked forward quietly.
There are not so many snakes on this side of the mountain. Besides, there are people digging the ground ahead, so if there were any snakes, most of them have already run away.
"Brother, can you help me take a look at when these stone carvings were made..."
"Brother! We are serious people, we just want you to help confirm..."
"Brother, look at this stone carving and this inscription. Can you open the door?"...
As Du Ruo and Xiang Yuanyuan got closer, the voice of a man became clearer.
After hearing this, not only Du Ruo felt suspicious, even Xiang Yuanyuan had a strange look on his face.
Even Xiang Yuanyuan kept looking at Du Ruo. At this moment, she was already doubting whether she had guessed wrong. Maybe they were not here to rob the tomb, but to find someone to identify these stone statues and stone carvings in the middle of the night?
As he got closer, Du Ruo squatted on the ground and motioned Xiang Yuanyuan to climb onto his back.
After all, this is a dense forest with many dead trees on the ground. Du Ruo was afraid that Xiang Yuanyuan would accidentally step on them and make noises.
After Xiang Yuanyuan climbed onto his back, Du Ruo jumped up and down a few times and quietly brought Xiang Yuanyuan to a stone sculpture.
This stone sculpture is a very tall pillar. There should have been decorations on it in the past, but over a long period of time, the decorations have disappeared, leaving only a bare stone pillar. Moreover, this stone pillar is the tallest thing nearby. Standing on it, one can see the entire cemetery.
Standing on it, the first thing that catches your eye is a long row of stone statues. Logically, there should be two rows on the left and right, but at this moment only three are still there, and the rest should be at the lakeside.
Above the stone statue are stone carvings of several horses, but these horses have either fallen to the ground or been damaged. The stone statue and the stone carvings are about ten meters apart, which means that there is a distance of several dozen meters from the stone statue to the stone carvings.
Further up is a huge cemetery.
What catches the eye in the cemetery are blocks of bluestone, some of which have words on them, and some of which have carvings. The bluestones form a large circle, highlighting a large bag of bluestone in the middle.
The sharp-eyed Du Ruo even discovered a huge bluestone used for worship in front of the tombstone. There were also a lot of red paper left after firecrackers, some extinguished candles, and bowls and plates containing sacrificial items.
Obviously, the descendants of this tomb are still there, and it is even possible that people come to worship every year.
The sound that Du Ruo and Xiang Yuanyuan heard came from the entrance of the cemetery. There were two people standing in front of the bluestone inscriptions, one holding a flashlight and the other holding a cell phone.
“Are they broadcasting live?”
Xiang Yuanyuan put her head close to Du Ruo's ear and asked softly. She was also confused at this time.
First of all, there is no doubt that this is a large cemetery, and it must be very old, but the problem is that there are obvious signs of worship here, which shows that descendants are still here.
Secondly, live broadcast from the cemetery? What? Live broadcast of tomb robbery?
At this moment, even Du Ruo was a little confused. To be honest, if he hadn't seen that the earth mound in the middle surrounded by bluestone had obvious signs of being dug, he would have thought that this was some anchor's show effect.
"It should be a live broadcast, but it's also a tomb robbery. You see, one side of the cemetery has been dug up. Let's go down now and take a closer look."
Du Ruo's voice sounded softly beside Xiang Yuanyuan's ears. He had already seen that the two men should be carrying weapons. Not to mention the knives, one of them even had a homemade short earthen gun on his back.
After saying that, Du Ruo took Xiang Yuanyuan and gently jumped down from the stone pillar, and then quietly got closer and closer to the two people.
"Brother, don't call the police. We are talking about serious matters. Can you help me see what era this is from..."
The man holding the mobile phone was still taking pictures of the inscription. Not only that, he also deliberately pinched his throat to ask the person on the phone.
The person on the other side of the phone took out his phone with a distorted expression as if he wanted to take a photo for evidence.
Brother Quan is a very popular anchor recently. He became famous quickly because of his strong program effects and excellent professional level.
But Brother Quan had a constipated expression on his face at this time. As a treasure appraisal host, he had actually had someone connect with him via live broadcast near a stolen hole left behind a long time ago for the sake of program effects. Naturally, the program effect created by that was explosive.
But anyone with a discerning eye could tell that those stolen holes were left behind in the past, and the person who was connecting with him now was obviously a fool.
He recognized at a glance that the other party should be in a real cemetery, and a general's tomb from the late Ming Dynasty. Although the live broadcast room was already boiling at this moment, he really didn't dare to say a word.
He has achieved what he has now as the biggest treasure appraisal anchor on the entire platform. I don’t know how many people are watching him. Let’s forget about the show effects in the past, but now it is obvious that the other party is really in the cemetery. If he says something wrong, he will be in big trouble.
The key point is that the people who connected with him only took pictures of the bluestone inscriptions or carvings and showed them to him, and kept asking him to talk about the age.
After saying this, if the other party gets caught, won’t he also be in trouble?
So it is true that he was holding up his mobile phone to take pictures, but he was still struggling over whether to call the police. After all, the other party did not show any signs of a stolen hole or anything like that, so there was no point in calling the police at this time.
So he didn't say anything, but he was thinking of countermeasures in his mind. At the same time, seeing the increasing popularity of the live broadcast room, he was also struggling with whether to disconnect.
……
Du Ruo placed Xiang Yuanyuan behind a stone tablet to avoid possible accidental injury, and he continued to approach the two of them.
If the other party was just live streaming in the middle of the night, he would definitely turn around and leave, but this was obviously tomb robbery, so he had to take care of it no matter what.
