I dig ancient tombs for the country

Chapter 173: The Legend of the Frogman Kingdom

When I got out of the water, I saw Hongmao standing anxiously on the bank and looking up.As soon as he saw me, his face was full of joy, and his long and narrow peach eyes were narrowed into a slit.

"Brother Tao, where have you been? Everyone is very worried about you. Captain Chen has been refusing to go back. He just went back to rest after everyone's persuasion."

"I'm fine, I'm worrying you." Hongmao stretched out his hand and pulled me to the shore. I was exhausted physically and mentally at this moment, and I didn't have any desire to speak. With Hongmao's support, I fell asleep when I returned to the room. I was too tired. I have experienced too many things in the past two days, and I have to digest them slowly.

The salvage work has been going on in an orderly manner. From the beginning to the present, in just ten days, nearly 4000 tons of treasures have been salvaged, and more than 3 pieces of porcelain from the Ming Dynasty have been discovered.For a while, it caused a nationwide sensation, and this shipwreck was also named by the country as the Nanhai No. [-] shipwreck.

The second group, under the leadership of Captain Chen, has developed more than 20 burial pits, among which there are tens of thousands of valuable items.The members of the archaeological team are all working hard, ready to fight him again on the development of the main tomb.

On the morning of early summer, the sun rose from the horizon early. The members of our archaeological team faced the rising sun, wore diving suits, carried equipment and sat in a submarine all the way to the main tomb of the burial complex.

The main tomb chamber is composed of seven parts: the front chamber, the east and west ear chambers, the main coffin chamber, the east and west side chambers and the back storage chamber.Probably in order to prevent tomb robbers, the owner of the tomb deliberately built a half-meter-thick diamond wall at the entrance of the tomb.In addition, six pieces of two-ton granite were placed outside the tomb wall.

Looking at the vajra wall and the huge granite rock, everyone was worried, how can we open the tomb door and enter the tomb chamber!

Excavating on the bottom of the sea is already very difficult, but encountering such a problem will undoubtedly make things worse. Is it possible to drive both cranes and forklifts into the bottom of the sea?

Everyone was talking about it, Captain Chen was also at a loss, and the work fell into a stalemate for a while.

Looking at the tomb, I felt very uncomfortable. Thinking of the gentle and pleasant queen of the Frogman Kingdom, I panicked and inevitably lost interest.The red hair was full of doubts, but he still asked me cautiously: "Brother Tao, tell me what is on your mind, and I will analyze it for you, and see if you are frowning."

what can I say?I'm afraid no one will believe it. "I'm fine, I'm just tired and don't want to talk."

"Oh! It's good that you're fine. If you're tired, rest more. By the way, I'll lend you a shoulder to lean on." Hongmao moved closer to me as he said that. He didn't want to draw a lot of eyes and make us both I was speechless for a moment.

Seeing that the archaeological team was worried, Hongmao volunteered and recommended himself.He asked the submarine to return to the station and pulled over a dozen tires and more than 20 thick crossbars. Using the principle of leverage, he simply pushed the boulders blocking the wall and the diamond wall to the ground.

Two meters away from the door of the tomb, there appeared an epitaph taller than one person.On one side of the inscription is engraved with a frogman totem, and on the other side are ancient characters. There are more than 3000 small characters densely packed.Captain Chen turned on the strong light and read every word in great detail.Although I couldn't understand it, I also heard a lot about it and gained a better understanding of this so-called frogman country.

It turns out that long, long ago, this area belonged to a mysterious family. A characteristic of this family is that all family members are female, and there is no male.The ancestors of this family are said to have evolved from frogs. At first they all had a pair of transparent wings, but as the seasons changed and multiplied, they gradually lost those wings and gradually became similar to humans. There isn't much of a difference anymore.

Moreover, every household enshrines the tablets of the ancestors, that is, frogmen, offering incense and paying tribute every year.But they have an unwritten rule, that is, every queen must go to the Frogman Temple to pay homage to the ancestors on the first day of ascending the throne. At that time, the ancestors will take the initiative to give the queen a man for mating. The next daughter is the heir of the next generation.Strange to say, those born after mating are all female babies, and none of them are male babies.By analogy, this mysterious family has been passed down from generation to generation for 25 generations.

Just the day before No.20's five-generation queen ascended the throne, a respected old female officer in the Frogman Kingdom predicted that the country would be destroyed.Everyone didn't believe it, thinking she was talking nonsense, and didn't take it seriously.

On that day, the frogman ancestors sent a man to the queen as usual. After not wanting to mate with that man, the queen did not give birth to a daughter as expected, but instead gave birth to a son with a pair of wings.This is terrible, the whole country is full of condemnation, saying that the queen has offended the ancestors and let their family go back to ancient times.

Under heavy pressure, the queen secretly abandoned her son in the sea.As a result, on the second day, a small island suddenly appeared on the sea. On the island, there was a piece of pure white rectangular pebble with a line of eye-catching words engraved on it: The country is about to perish, dig your own grave quickly.

From that day on, the whole country was busy digging and repairing the tomb, and they all believed in this fable.On the second day after they dug the grave, it suddenly rained heavily, and the rain became heavier and heavier. They knew that time was short, so they consciously lay down in their own graves.Later, their mysterious little country was finally swallowed by heavy rain.

The queen repented of what she had done, and often shed tears, thinking of her abandoned son.During her lifetime, she built a stone statue of herself on the small island. She stared at the sea with tears in her eyes for a long time, hoping that one day her son would appear in front of her eyes.

This story is a bit like a myth. After hearing it, everyone despised it and thought it was impossible.He also said that people at that time were too superstitious, which led to the demise of the entire country.Captain Chen told everyone that this mysterious country has yet to be investigated and studied. Judging from the epitaph, this is the basis for recording the existence of a country in history.He also said earnestly: "In this vast land, all kinds of weird things often happen, and some things cannot be explained."

No matter what they think or say, there is a big secret buried in my heart, which is about the authenticity of this story. I am afraid that only I know whether it is true or not.

That cute little boy with a pair of wings was actually the crystallization of that dewy marriage.No wonder I have an inseparable family relationship in my heart. This kind of thing is really amazing. The blood relationship of human beings can't be cut off.I don't know whether I should feel sorry for him, or whether I should feel sorry for him. After all, it was a little life that was buried in the sea by the rumors of the world.

I couldn't calm down for a long time, so that everyone went into the tomb, and I was still looking at the epitaph in a daze.
