Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Ground Worm

By the time we got here, the rain had already become heavier.

It was still drizzling just now, but it turned to moderate rain in an instant.

One of the four earthen houses occupies a much larger area than the other three, and the nine of us also walked towards the largest earthen house.

When I opened the door of this mud house, I was greeted by an empty room.

The room was huge, but there was no furniture.

And when I entered the room, a musty smell hit my head.

Moldy? Where does this musty smell come from in this empty room?

"Thin man, open the window to let in some air. ”

After we entered this musty earthen house, Gou Tang pinched his nose and began to give orders to the thin man, but what about the thin man?

Looking at this thin man's quick movements, how do I feel that this thin man seems to listen to Gou Tang's words?

Of course, this thin man also listens to Qin Yue's words, but this kind of obedience is different.

The thin man is obedient and respectful to Qin Yue, which is cultivated from the bones.

And for this Gou Tang, this thin man's obedience to Gou Tang depends more on a kind of fear.

That's right, it's fear, like a mouse seeing a cat.

It's kind of interesting! I unconsciously glanced at Gou Tang and the thin man.

As soon as we entered the empty room, Daqi took out a large cloth from his hiking bag and spread it at our feet.

With this cloth, at least we can still have a place to sit.

Sun Liansheng sat on the edge of the cloth, his head bowed and he was silent.

Seeing Sun Liansheng like this, I really felt very uncomfortable, we sat together, but Sun Liansheng was sitting alone in the corner.

Uncle Cheng, who was sitting next to me, gave me a wink, and I knew what Uncle Cheng meant.

Gu Yicheng, who was sitting on the other side of me, also glanced at me, and I also knew what Gu Yicheng meant.

Let me go over and comfort Sun Liansheng, how can I comfort?

In the end, I really couldn't stand the eyes of these two people looking at me, so I could only walk to Sun Liansheng's side.

Walking to Sun Liansheng's side, as soon as I squatted down, Sun Liansheng raised his head and suddenly said to me: "I'm fine, I'm really fine." ”

Listening to Sun Liansheng's words, I opened my mouth but didn't spit out a word.

It's okay, it's okay!

"Brother Zhang, let me be alone for a while. ”

"Good!"

Before he could organize words to comfort Sun Liansheng, he was directly ordered by Sun Liansheng to expel the guest.

Indeed, if it were me at this time, I would also like to be alone.

Perfection is about to be fulfilled to the end, and I also stood up from Sun Liansheng's side.

The moment I stood up, I saw the faces of Gu Yicheng and Uncle Cheng who wanted to laugh but didn't laugh.

I ignored them and began to wander around the mud house.

There was a loud bang on the roof, and there was a crackling sound outside the earthen house, and when I looked out of the window, the rain seemed to be much heavier.

Looking at the sky outside, the whole sky was also gloomy, without a single bit of sunlight.

It's raining, and it seems like it's going to rain for days.

I walked to the window unconsciously, and looking at the heavy rain and the endless fog outside the window, I suddenly felt an inexplicable irritability in my heart.

With this inexplicable irritability, when I think of the arrogant and unreasonable expression of the village chief of Wengtou Village, I don't feel angry in my heart.

I stomped the ground under my feet hard, I wanted to vent, but when I was about to stomp out the third kick, I was suddenly stunned.

Stunned in place, I suddenly looked at Daqi and the thin man and shouted, "Have you taken the Luoyang shovel?"

When I suddenly shouted this sentence to them, I saw Qin Yue and the others also looking at me in unison.

Daqi walked up to me and handed me a folding Luoyang shovel.

After I broke the Luoyang shovel, I also plunged the shovel into the ground under my feet.

Holding the shovel handle, the arm naturally bent downward, and a shovel of dry soil was brought up by the Luoyang shovel.

I threw this shovel of soil aside, and at this time, Qin Yue and the others also gathered around me.

Musty smell, after the Luoyang shovel brought out this full shovel of soil, I smelled a stronger musty smell in the shovel soil, and along with this strong musty smell, there was also a choking smell.

That's right, it's a stinky, stinking smell.

And the shovel of soil that comes out is not entirely dry, but also wet.

The color of the dry soil is dry and yellow, but the color of the wet soil is black and red.

And in the black, reddish wet soil of this shovel, I saw a lot of worms wriggling in the soil.

Among the many worms wriggling in the soil, I not only saw a "scorpion" with a white body but no tail, "I also saw a long insect with a gray body that couldn't tell which side was the head and which side was the tail, and-

There are also a lot of permeating bugs that I've never even seen.

Some of the whole body is transparent, and some of the body is divided into several colors, in short, there are at least a dozen unknown insects in the soil of this shovel brought out by the Luoyang shovel.

"Go on!"

Just when I was secretly frightened, Qin Yue's cold voice suddenly sounded beside me.

Hearing Qin Yue's words, although I was a little embarrassed and scared in my heart, I still did as Qin Yue instructed.

Instead of digging deeper, I started to spread around the hole around the hole.

This shovel can have a depth of more than 30 centimeters in Luoyang, and with the unique shoveling action that my father once taught me, I can use the Luoyang shovel to bring out the soil at a depth of 40 centimeters.

The musty smell was getting stronger and stronger, and the stench was about to smoke out my tears.

And with every time the Luoyang shovel lifts the soil, my heart is also shocked and frightened with each of the soil.

Insect!

A lot of insects that couldn't be called were brought out by the Luoyang shovel.

"Stop!"

Just when I was about to be frightened and couldn't hold the handle of the shovel, Qin Yue finally stopped.

"Pseudoscorpions, prototails, nematodes, horses, bear insects, leeches, mites, cryptopteras. ”

After Qin Yue said a lot of insect names that I had never even heard of, before I had time to breathe a sigh of relief, Qin Yue suddenly said to me: "It's okay, fill the soil again." ”

"What?"

Hearing Qin Yue's words, I almost jumped up from the spot.

"I say, don't you understand the return of the earth to its place?"

Qin Yue also looked at me coldly with her eyes that could penetrate everything, and said.

This woman!

When the hell did I offend her? Since I made that oolong incident, since she said thank you to me without a head, this Qin Yue has never given me a good face, not only has she never given me a good face, but she has only looked at me with a good look.

Qin Yue left with a cold face after coldly dropping this sentence to me.

"Get to work, and bury them back before they run out of the dirt. ”

Gou Tang also encouraged her big eyes and said to me gloatingly, and after speaking, the people also twisted their waists and left.

I-

Retracting his gaze from Qin Yue and Gou Tang, I can only face reality.

What can I say about the untold number of worms wriggling in the dirt?

it, who will do it?

When Uncle Cheng and Gu Yicheng passed me, they patted me on the shoulder heavily to comfort me.

Hmph, the second general also looked at me deeply as if he had a deep meaning.

Weng Ping just nodded politely to me, and Sun Liansheng's family didn't get up from the ground to join in the fun.

All of a sudden, I had to work hard.

I knew that I wouldn't be a bird.

At that time, the reason why I wanted to ask the thin man and Daqi for the Luoyang shovel was just that I felt that the ground under my feet seemed to be a little strange.

I can't say what was weird, but the soil under my feet gave me a feeling of being strong on the outside and dry on the outside.

Dryness is only on the surface, and the surface should be loose underneath.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to make two footprints on the dry soil.
