The old farmer crouched down to check, and found that there were some words on the stone slab, which looked like something like a tombstone, and the old farmer thought that he had dug up the previous grave, so he hurriedly sealed the opening of the cave, and then called several relatives from the same village to help.

Several people wasted a lot of effort to move the stone slab out of the cellar, but what was even more unexpected was that there was a larger space below, and the light of the flashlight could not shine at the end, and the old farmer panicked and told the local public security department about it.

Soon the police came to the old farmer's home to check and reported the matter to the higher department, and it was not long before the local cultural relics department replied, saying that it was probably an ancient tomb and entrusting the local police to protect the scene.

Archaeologists formed an archaeological team to come to the old farmer's home, after exploration, it was determined that this was an ancient tomb of the Warring States period, and the old farmer had previously dug up not a tombstone, but a bluestone slab for the tomb, on which some words and pictures were carved.
