Origin

Wang Xinran agrees with Wu Zhongyuan's statement, but the scope of "being able to see" is too broad, and all places that can be seen in front of the tomb are possible.

Wu Zhongyuan has been observing the surrounding environment. This cemetery is located in the north of the village, about one kilometer away from the village in a straight line. The area around this kilometer is a suspected location.

Part of this area is firewood-burning mountains, that is, shrubs for villagers to chop firewood, and there are a small amount of mountainous land where some crops are planted.

Wu Zhongyuan was observing carefully, and Wang Xinran was also observing carefully. Seeing that Wang Xinran had been observing carefully, Wu Zhongyuan said with a smile, "What are you looking at?"

"What else can I look at? Of course I'm looking for the child's cemetery." Wang Xinran said casually.

"Do you know Feng Shui?" Wu Zhongyuan asked, the basis of his observation and search was the 36 methods of geomancy left by his master, and he was not looking for it aimlessly.

"I don't understand." Wang Xinran shook his head.

"You don't know Feng Shui, what a fart you are." Wu Zhongyuan laughed.

Wang Xinran glanced at Wu Zhongyuan, and then said, "The headquarters has inspected Wu Qianshan's spiritual stone before, and that spiritual stone is radioactive. I am observing the surrounding vegetation for abnormalities."

"Then did you find out?" Wu Zhongyuan asked again.

Wang Xinran shook his head, "No, the spirit stone is buried in the ground, and the rays emitted are very weak, which may not be enough to affect the growth of plants."

Wu Zhongyuan didn't ask any more questions, and continued to observe and search, to be precise, he was observing and thinking.

"Do you know Feng Shui?" Wang Xinran asked back.

"Understand a little bit," Wu Zhongyuan said, and after speaking, seeing Wang Xinran looking at him with doubts, he explained, "First of all, we can rule out the dark side, burying the dead will not be buried where the sun can't shine..."

Before Wu Zhongyuan finished speaking, Wang Xinran interrupted him, "Why?"

"Because the dead are yin, according to the ancients, burying the dead in a place where the sun can't reach will breed evil and resentment," Wu Zhongyuan said. Buried higher than him, because it involves seniority."

"And then?" Wang Xinran asked.

"No more." Wu Zhongyuan shook his head.

Wu Zhongyuan's answer brought Wang Xinran contemptuous eyes again, and he stood up after curling his lips, "Let's stop wasting time here, I'll call the archaeological team back."

"Call me back to make holes in the piece by piece?" Wu Zhongyuan frowned. "It's all possible in the south, southeast, and southwest. At least it is tens of thousands of square meters. How long will it take to drill holes in the piece by piece with a Luoyang shovel?"

"Then what do you say?" Wang Xinran was exhausted physically and mentally. The most important thing was that she had run out of cigarettes and had a cigarette addiction, so she was a little irritable.

"Look again." Wu Zhongyuan stood up and walked south.

Wang Xinran followed, "It's really not possible, we can ask the headquarters to send scientific research personnel to check whether there are any abnormal radiation sources nearby with professional equipment."

Wu Zhongyuan shook his head, "If this method works, the headquarters would have already sent someone here on its own initiative, and they won't wait for you to ask for help."

Wang Xinran didn't answer, because what Wu Zhongyuan said was not unreasonable.

Wu Zhongyuan walked south along the mountain road, looking back every time he walked a certain distance.

"What are you doing? Turning around every step of the way, unwilling to leave?" Wang Xinran yawned.

"I'm looking to see if there is anything following us." Wu Zhongyuan said.

Wang Xinran knew that Wu Zhongyuan was scaring her, but she was not in the mood to joke now, "What are you looking at?"

"I'm looking for the sunny side within the range that Qian Yunzhi can see." Wu Zhongyuan said, "Qian Yunzhi's tomb faces south, so it is impossible for him to bury his concubine on the dark side, but he must ensure that it is in the place of eternal rest." To be able to see a child's grave, that's what I'm looking for."

"After so many years, the surrounding terrain may have changed a long time ago." Wang Xinran was a little discouraged. "Besides, it is unknown whether the thing you want will be buried in the child's grave. The hope is too slim."

Wu Zhongyuan shook his head, "Hope is pretty slim, but compared to other warriors, I think Wu Lu's clue should be the clearest and simplest. If you can't even find this spirit stone, you don't need to use the other ones." found."

After Wu Zhongyuan finished speaking, there was no response behind him. When he turned around, he found Wang Xinran walking towards the valley to the west.

"It's impossible to be there. The place where the water flows is a shaded place, and people cannot be buried." Wu Zhongyuan said.

Wang Xinran didn't answer, and continued to walk west.

Wu Zhongyuan was worried, so he had to follow. After walking a few steps, Wang Xinran turned around and said, "I want to pee, why are you following me?"

Wu Zhongyuan stopped in embarrassment, turned around and walked south.

After walking a few tens of meters, I looked back at Qian Yunzhi's tomb to the north again. Because I was standing at a higher position, I happened to see Wang Xinran who had just found a good place and was about to take off his pants.

"What are you looking at?" Wang Xinran knew that he was unintentional, and his tone was not harsh.

Wu Zhongyuan turned around and continued walking south.

Not far away, Wang Xinran's voice came from the bottom of the ditch, "Come and see."

Wang Xinran's shout seemed very excited. Hearing her shout, Wu Zhongyuan immediately thought that Wang Xinran might have discovered an important clue by accident.

Turning around and running to the side of the ditch, Wang Xinran was tying his belt.

"What's wrong?" Wu Zhongyuan asked eagerly.

Wang Xinran didn't reply, after he tied his belt, he broke off a branch from the side, squatted down and fiddled with the grass.

Wu Zhongyuan went down to the bottom of the ditch and walked over quickly. At this time, Wang Xinran had pulled out something from the grass, it was not big, and it was whitish in color.

"What is it?" Wu Zhongyuan also squatted down.

"It looks like a little stone man." Wang Xinran used a branch to push the dirt attached to the thing.

Wu Zhongyuan reached out and picked up the utensil, his hands were very light, and the material was not like stone, it should be porcelain.

"Hey hey..." Wang Xinran frowned.

Wu Zhongyuan was wiping the soil on the utensils at this time, and looked at Wang Xinran suspiciously when he heard the sound. Seeing Wang Xinran's embarrassment, he remembered that she just urinated on the thing.

At this time, the smartest thing to do is pretend to be confused, lower your head and continue to wipe the dirt. Wang Xinran was half right. This thing is indeed a small person, but it is not made of stone, but made of porcelain. It is about fifteen centimeters long. , is a defective product, the head is gone, and half of the leg is broken.

"It seems to be a doll." Wang Xinran said, although the porcelain figure is incomplete, it can still be seen from the remaining parts that it is a humanoid doll. with a rattle.

Wu Zhongyuan didn't answer, put down his backpack, took out a bottle of mineral water, rinsed the doll, and frowned at the side of the sun.

"This doll is not like a modern thing." Wang Xinran said.

"This is blue and white porcelain from the Yuan Dynasty." Wu Zhongyuan said.

"From the Yuan Dynasty? Are you sure?" Wang Xinran was pleasantly surprised.

Wu Zhongyuan nodded, "I'm sure. Yuan Dynasty porcelain is easy to identify. The color is blue-gray or blue-black. There is no glaze on the bottom and there is sand, and the glaze is concave and matte."

There must be a gap between those who listen attentively in class and those who play games in class, but this is not what Wang Xinran cares about. "Could the porcelain dolls of the Yuan Dynasty be buried by Qian Yunzhi for children who died early?"

"Yes." Wu Zhongyuan nodded seriously.

"Why are you so sure?" Although Wang Xinran made this guess, he did not expect Wu Zhongyuan to give an affirmative answer.

"Yuan blue and white are mostly plates, cups and pots, and there are few figures. Even if there are, most of them are Guanyin and Fu Lu Shou Samsung. Children's dolls like this are very rare." Wu Zhongyuan explained in detail with his finger dolls, "This porcelain body The body is thick, the glaze is uniform, it is undoubtedly the blue and white of the Yuan Dynasty. Look again, the ganoderma lucidum is held in the doll's left hand, which proves that this porcelain comes from an official kiln, and ordinary people are not qualified to use official kiln porcelain..."

"Wait, why do you say that?" Wang Xinran was puzzled.

"Because of the clear regulations in the Yuan Dynasty, some patterns are not allowed to be used in folk kilns, and Ganoderma lucidum is one of them." Wu Zhongyuan said. Customization, Qian Yunzhi is a fourth-rank official, although he has retired and returned to his hometown, he is qualified, financial and motivated to order this kind of porcelain, and his motive is also very clear, that is, to burn it for his youngest son to be buried with."

"Go on." Wang Xinran began to admire Wu Zhongyuan.

Wu Zhongyuan pointed to the incomplete doll and continued, "Look at this painter, have you seen it, especially the doll's belt, when it is painted, the brush strokes are rough, and the position is slightly deviated, which is rarely seen in official kiln porcelain. , unless it is a private order, or..."

Although he knew Wu Zhongyuan was trying to trick him, Wang Xinran still couldn't help asking, "Or what?"

"Rushing up work," Wu Zhongyuan said solemnly, "There is no official kiln of Yuan blue and white flowers nearby, and the funerary objects must be buried with the corpse after the mortuary is over. The time is short, and this will only happen if it is fired in a hurry."

After listening to Wu Zhongyuan's talk, apart from admiration, Wang Xinran was more worried, "If this doll was really buried with the youngest son by Qian Yunzhi, his tomb may have been stolen."

Wu Zhongyuan shook his head, "Not necessarily, Yuan blue and white flowers are not only valuable now, but they were also valuable in the past, and it is impossible for grave robbers to discard them at will."

After Wu Zhongyuan finished speaking, he began to search upstream along the bottom of the ditch, "This thing was buried very shallow, which means it hasn't been here for a long time, and it probably washed out when it rained earlier."

"If it was washed out by the rain, how could it be broken?" Wang Xinran followed behind.

"Porcelain is light in weight. If it rains heavily, it will roll with the water flow. It's normal to be broken." After Wu Zhongyuan finished speaking, he walked quickly, picked up something from the soil at the bottom of the ditch, and took a closer look. It was a porcelain doll head with a smiling face.

"Look quickly, the child's grave is nearby..."
