Chapter 208: The Ancient Tomb
Feng Shu sat on the huge bow of the dragon boat, on tiptoe, looking forward, and could vaguely see a bazaar that was not too big, but not too small!
Feng Shu shouted excitedly: "Hey, look, I seem to have seen Blue Bridge Town!"
Mo Chen sat up from the spot, looked in the direction of Feng Shu's finger, and sure enough, he saw a city mentioned by Feng Shu, Mo Chen took out the map, compared it roughly, and said with certainty: "That's right! This is it, this is Lanqiao Town!"
Mo Chen and they didn't act too high-profile in order to cover people's eyes and ears, so before they reached Lanqiao Town, they put away the dragon boat and slowly walked towards Lanqiao Town, although their movements were fast enough, they were still seen by a middle-aged man standing on the head of the city with a straw in his mouth!
It's winter now, but he is still wearing two thin clothes, and the clothes are not neat, there are gaps everywhere, and the thin body of the middle-aged man looks very pitiful under the wrapping of this clothes. This person's name is Ke Fan, his parents died relatively early, because no one has taken care of him since he was a child, so he has been idle since he was a child, and he has no other skills, and he spends his days in this Blue Bridge Town. And he also likes gambling very much, and he lost the title deed of the real estate left to him by his parents early! Because the town of Blue Bridge is not big, so the whole town knows him, and when they see him, they all stay away, and they don't want to have too much communication with him!
The town of Blue Bridge is not a big city and does not have any special attractions, so it is usually rarely visited by people. The people here are all self-sufficient, so they rarely communicate with the outside world, but these days, for some reason, more and more people come to Bluebridge Town, and most of them are mainly monks!
The unemployed vagrants in Lanqiao Town outside Ke Fan were naturally extremely concerned about this kind of thing, and he didn't have much effort to find out what happened. When a few people were chopping wood on the mountain, they accidentally found an ancient tomb, and took out a lot of good things in it, and most of them were weapons used by monks.
In the past few days, Ke Fan has been able to earn a lot of money by leading the way for the monks who have entered the city, so when he saw Mo Chen and the others, he naturally thought that Mo Chen and the others were also here to find the ancient tomb, so he immediately came to the city gate and waited for Mo Chen and them to come!
Mo Chen and his party finally came to the gate of Lanqiao Town, Ke Fan nodded and looked at Mo Chen from afar and said, "Oh!
Mo Chen looked at the few people around him in confusion, and said suspiciously, "Do you know this person?"
Lu Tao shook his head and said, "How can I know him! I have never been out of Xilin City in my life, so it is definitely impossible to know him!"
Mo Chen said suspiciously, "Could it be that the people in Blue Bridge Town are so hospitable?"
Someone welcomed, Mo Chen and the others naturally did not put on a look of rejecting people thousands of miles away, but responded with a smile: "Are you waiting for us here?"
Ke Fan said with a smiling face: "Yes! I've been waiting for you for a long time! Let's go, let's go! There is no place to live when you are done!"
Mo Chen was confused and was pulled by Ke Fan, and walked towards the city gate, along the way Ke Fan gushed endlessly: "It's the first time for you to come to Lanqiao Town! Yes, that's right! With me here for Ke Fan, you can rest assured that you can definitely find a place for a few of you to live!"
Mo Chen said puzzledly: "Is Lanqiao Town still famous?
Ke Fan was stunned for a moment, then looked at Mo Chen and the others in surprise, and said suspiciously, "Aren't you guys here to find the ancient tomb?"
Mo Chen shook his head and said, "No, no. We" Mo Chen's words were not finished, after the blood diamond sky heard the word ancient tomb, his eyes immediately lit up, and he stepped in front of Mo Chen and said: "Yes, we are here to find the ancient tomb! Take us to see where the ancient tomb is!"
Ke Fan spread his hands and said: "This ancient tomb is not open yet, and it can only be found on the fifteenth of every month, so it is really a good time for you to come, and tomorrow will be the fifteenth!"
Mo Chen asked suspiciously, "What ancient tomb, why does it have to be seen at a certain time?"
Ke Fan didn't answer Mo Chen's question, but said eagerly: "What are you doing so much, come with me, it's too late, you may really have no place to live at night, anyway, the ancient tomb will appear tomorrow, you will take a look tomorrow, don't you know what the ancient tomb is! There are too many monks in the past few days, and the restaurant is not enough to live in, if it weren't for my Ke Fan's hard relationship, it would be really hard for you to say if you can find a place to live!"
Mo Chen immediately heard what Ke Fan meant, smiled and took out a few gold coins from the storage bag, handed them to Ke Fan and said, "This weather is also strangely cold, just take it as the tea money that a few of us gave you!"
Ke Fan put the money in his pocket with a smile, and said shirkily: "Look at you, it's polite." I'm definitely not here to help you for the money. I'm just a warm-hearted person, and the monks who came here have successfully found a place to live under my leadership!"
After Ke Fan finished speaking, he led Mo Chen and a few of them through the deep and long alley, along the way, Mo Chen saw that this place was becoming more and more remote, and couldn't help but look at Ke Fan and said, "Brother, are you sure there is a place to live here?"
Ke Fan turned his head and explained mysteriously: "What do you know, this place is close to the ancient tomb. When the time comes, you will definitely be the first to enter the ancient tomb, will you take all the good things!"
Feng Shu said happily: "You still know us, I think this place is good and quiet." Pretty good!"
Ke Fan smiled and said, "That's not it, can I still lie to your brothers?"
Mo Chen stood aside, just looking at where they were bragging nonsense, Ke Fan finally brought them to a private house, and looked at the private house in front of him, and said angrily: "Hey, what's the matter, didn't you say that you would take us to the restaurant? Don't say anything about taking us to this wilderness, it's still a private house, this is obviously a people's house!"
Ke Fan said embarrassedly: "A few masters, you can't blame me for this? Our Blue Bridge Town was originally a small place, but because there was an ancient tomb, it attracted so many people at once. The hotels in the town are certainly not enough to entertain them, and most of the people have vacated their empty rooms for the monks who have come to Bluebridge to live!"
Mo Chen smiled and waved his hand and said, "It's okay, we can understand this situation, although this place looks a little broken, but it's better than sleeping on the street, thank you for bringing us over!"
Ke Fan waved his hand and said, "You're welcome, you're welcome." You go in, this family has a good relationship with me, if you go in, just say that I Ke Fan brought you here, and the price will definitely be cheap for you. This time it's not dark yet, I'll go to the city gate again to see if anyone else is coming!"
After Ke Fan said goodbye to Mo Chen, he came to the top of the city of Lanqiao Town at one time, he looked at the gold coins in his hand happily, and muttered in his heart: "This monk is rich, and he is so generous with any shot." Tonight, I can go to Hongxing Gambling House to gamble all night, and I must win back the money I lost last night. ”
Ke Fan carefully packed up the gold coins he took from Mo Chen, and patted his trouser pockets to prevent the gold coins from rolling out silently!
Mo Chen and a few of them walked into this dilapidated house, looked at the east and the west, and said, "Fengshu! Can this live?"
Before Feng Shu could speak, a hoarse voice came out, and I saw a hunched old man on crutches and said, "Who said that this place can't live in people!"
Mo Chen and several of them were all attracted to it, looking at the old man in front of him who was slowly approaching them, only to see him trembling and moving the cane in his hand, and his legs trembled unconsciously, Mo Chen even wondered if a gust of wind could blow him away!
In just a few steps, he seemed to have walked for a century, and the old man threw two keys to Mo Chen and said, "There are only two rooms left in the house, a few of you can squeeze in! Twenty gold coins in one room, no counteroffer!"
When Lu Tao heard what the old man said, he said in surprise: "Uncle, your house has become like this, and you still have twenty gold coins, why don't you rob it!"
The old man said impatiently: "I can't stop watching you, there are still a lot of people waiting for you if you don't stop!"
Mo Chen knew that what the old man said was true, because he had sensed that there were many people walking towards them, so he immediately took out forty gold coins, handed them to the old man and said, "Uncle, we live, we live! Where is the house?"
The old man struggled to prop up the crutches in his hand, pointed to the two earthen houses in the dark and said: "The house is there, someone will come to call you for dinner, don't run around, if you miss it, you won't have to eat!"
Mo Chen said in surprise: "I didn't expect you to take care of food for people here!"
The old man smiled and said, "Then for sure, although my place here is shabby, nothing less will be missing you." Originally, Mo Chen and the others were still a little unhappy, but when they heard the old man say that they would take care of the food, the resentment in their hearts was much less, after all, the conditions here were like this, and they couldn't ask for anything!"
Mo Chen took a key and handed it to the Blood Diamond Heaven, he and Feng Shu took the lead in walking into a dilapidated earthwork, the moment Feng Shu came in, he sighed and said: "Mo Chen, don't say it, I still have an inexplicable sense of familiarity when I came here, maybe the environment here is more similar to the place I used to be in Nankong City!"
The moment Mo Chen entered the room, he felt an incomparably damp breath, in the dim room, there was not even a single lamp, there was only a small wooden table and two beds in the whole room, Mo Chen said with a wry smile: "I haven't slept in such a house for a long time, but fortunately, I only need to sleep for one night, so let's just make a living!"
Because the meal was about to start, and Mo Chen hadn't eaten a hot meal in the past few days, Mo Chen didn't dare to move around at will, for fear that he would miss this meal and eat cold steamed buns again. Mo Chen and Feng Shu sat in the damp room, quietly waiting for the time to eat!
Not long after, a young man dressed in coarse linen trotted to Mo Chen's door, knocked on the door and said, "It's time to eat, it's time to eat." Let's go to the backyard for dinner!"
Mo Chen and Feng Shu walked towards the backyard, their stomachs were also screaming, Feng Shu whispered to Mo Chen on the road: "I think we might as well continue to eat steamed buns, at least we can eat enough." This place, what can you expect them to make in this place?"
Mo Chen thought about it, and felt that what Feng Shu said was not reasonable, after all, the conditions here were already so poor, what else could he expect to eat? But Mo Chen still had a trace of fantasy in his heart, hoping to give himself an unexpected surprise for a while, after all, he had paid so much money, if the food was not good, then it was estimated that everyone else would be unhappy.
Before the four of them reached the backyard, they had already heard intermittent noises coming from the backyard, and there was a faint fire flickering in the backyard! Blood Diamond Heaven suddenly stopped, took a breath and said, "Wow! What a fragrant smell, the people here have good craftsmanship!"
Mo Chen also smelled this mouth-watering smell, his stomach, which had been protesting, was screaming even louder at the moment, Mo Chen covered his stomach in embarrassment, and trotted over quickly along this fluttering smell!
Passing through a small dilapidated wooden door, Mo Chen was immediately surprised when he saw the scene in the backyard and said, "Wow! There are so many people, where do they live?"
I saw that the space in the backyard was very huge, and there were many tables in it, and there were already a lot of seats one after another at the moment, and there were a lot of dishes on the tables, and the dishes on each table were the same. Feng Shu said guessingly: "I guess all the people who come to Lanqiao Town here will eat here! After all, because there are a lot of people coming to the tomb this time, Lanqiao Town is a relatively small city after all, and the canteens scattered in various places in Lanqiao Town may not be enough to meet their eating problems." So just set up a big pot here and cook it in a unified way, which can save a lot of time!"
Everyone
