Gao Zixuan also smiled and said, "Then what are you two waiting for, hurry up and dig it, you won't let me do it." ”

Xu Dadao: "Don't worry, it seems that the wall needs to be demolished, I'll see how to demolish it." After speaking, he looked at the half of the north wall.

Li Rui put his hand on the broken bricks around the entrance of the cave, shook it vigorously, and found that none of them could be shaken, and praised: "The quality of this ancient building is good, the bricks have been corroded like this, and there is nothing to pull out." Xu Da said: "Then it can only be demolished." Let's go, let's go down the mountain and get tools. ”

Gao Zixuan was anxious when she heard this, and said, "You two go down the mountain, what should I do?" Li Rui said: "You are waiting for us here." Gao Zixuan pursed her delicate cherry lips and said coquettishly: "No, I'm afraid." Li Rui smiled and said, "What are you afraid of? There is no one else here." Gao Zixuan said: "I'm afraid of no one." Li Rui smiled helplessly and said, "Then brother, you accompany Zixuan, I'll go down and get it." ”

Xu Dadao: "Forget it, you still accompany Zixuan, I'll go down and get it, I'm fast, just give me the car keys." ”

Li Rui didn't say anything polite to him, took out the car keys and handed them to him, and told him to be careful on the way down the mountain. Xu Da nodded and went down the mountain.

Li Rui watched his back disappear behind the two cypress trees, turned around, but saw Gao Zixuan looking at him with an ambiguous expression, and couldn't help but laugh, and said, "Why are you looking at me like this? Do you have any evil intentions for me?" Gao Zixuan scolded with a smile: "Get out, don't be sentimental! If you have an intention, you have an intention for me, and you have a dream of what to do with me, and you still have the face to say that I have an intention for you." Li Rui laughed, seeing that she was smiling like a flower, delicate and moving, he couldn't help but move his index finger, walked two steps in front of her, and raised his hand to hug her. Gao Zixuan smiled and stretched out her hand to push him, shouting, "Hey, don't be shameless, let me tell you, who has the intention against whom......"

The two laughed and fought, although there was no affectionate action, but they were in a good and sweet mood, not to mention how happy, like men and women in love.

However, the two didn't fight for too long, and soon separated, after all, Xu Da could come back at any time, and it was not easy for him to see him.

That is, in less than three minutes, Xu Da came back with all the tools. Li Rui hurriedly stepped forward to take the pickaxe from him, Xu Da put the other tools on the ground, and carried a crowbar made of large steel bars in his hand, and the two walked to the half of the north wall, bent down and began to dismantle the wall.

Anyone who has ever demolished a walled house knows that demolishing a wall is generally done from the top down. However, the current situation is that most of the wall roots of this half of the north wall have been damaged, and compared with the intact upper wall, the wall roots are vulnerable and easy to start, so Xu Da and Li Rui also started directly from the root of the wall.

Xu Da clenched the crowbar with both hands, aimed the pointed end at the entrance of the fox's nest at the root of the wall, and stabbed the bricks inside as hard as if he were holding an iron gun. He had a lot of strength, and every time he poked the crowbar on the wall tiles, there would be a muffled sound caused by the impact, and the wall seemed to shake with it, and the corroded green bricks inside couldn't stand such a lot of force, so they collapsed in the crowbar poke. Some shatter directly, some split into two pieces, and the two pieces that are cracked will fall down on the next poke hit. After poking more than a dozen times in a row, he heard a loud noise, and the wall was chiseled through by him.

The purpose of chiseling through the wall is to better pry the green bricks near the entrance of the fox's den, so as to expose the entrance as soon as possible.

When Xu Da was busy, Li Rui had been watching from the side, because the area of the wall where the entrance to the fox's den was located was too narrow, and the two people holding long tools couldn't use it at all, so they could only do it alone and watch it alone. He saw that Xu Da had been working for a while, so he asked him to sit next to him and rest for a while, and he used the pickaxe in his hand to start clearing the green bricks at the entrance of the fox's hole. His strength is not small, he often pries a green brick at a time, and then pinches it with his hand and pulls it out violently, and the green brick is pulled out and thrown on the open space on the side. He was very fast, and in a few clicks he reached the mouth of the fox hole. The fox's cave was two layers of bricks from the ground, and when he pulled out all the bricks from the hole, the foundation was exposed, and a hole into the ground appeared.

Sure enough, there are holes in the ground!

The opening is an irregular oblong shape, about the size of an adult's palm, and it can be seen that this hole is not the whole of it, and the rest of the hole is still pressed by the wall bricks on the west side. The entire entrance to the cave was pressed under the half of the north wall, and if the bricks were not removed, no one would have been able to find the opening.

The three of them stared at the entrance of the cave with six eyes, and everyone was smiling, you look at me and I see you happy.

But Li Rui's smile quickly froze on his face, because he found that the part of the hole that was now exposed was too narrow, at best, it allowed a small animal like a fox to get in. Judging from the fact that the north wall is about a foot wide enough to cover this hole, the widest part of this hole is about half a foot. It is impossible for a person to get into such a narrow cave. If one can't get into it, then how can one hide the treasure? Just stuff the treasure into the hole? But then again, before you see the whole hole in its entirety, you can't easily make a judgment, so it's better to see the real thing than to think about it.

He pondered for a moment and said, "Continue to dismantle and expose all the holes." As he spoke, he continued to remove the bricks on the west side of the exposed hole, that is, in about five minutes, the hole in the ground was all revealed.

Basically the same as Li Rui expected, this is a narrow oval hole, about a foot long, and the widest part is only a little more than half a foot, so the entire hole can be completely covered by the north wall more than a foot wide.

After all the entrances to the cave appeared, a very obvious smell of fox suddenly wafted in the air, and there was a very heavy dampness. The fox smell is easy to understand, and this is originally a fox den. As for the moisture, I guess this hole won't be too shallow.

Xu Da picked up the branch he had used just now and said, "I'll try how deep this hole is." ”

He crouched over and slowly lowered the branch through the hole. The entrance to the cave did not seem to go straight up, for he quickly frowned, and pressed his right hand down the branch several times, but the branch bounced up each time, and then he tilted the angle of the branch, and the branch continued to go deeper. Soon, the branch sank into the hole, and then his hand reached in.

Li Rui hurriedly stopped, good guy, this is not a joke, who knows what other animals are in this cave besides foxes? Even if it is a fox, it is not fun to bite his hand suddenly, there is no program to go to the hospital for rabies vaccination in the schedule of treasure hunting activities during this holiday.

Xu Da said with some excitement: "The hole is very deep, and there are steps in it." Li Rui was taken aback and exclaimed, "What, there are steps?" Xu Da nodded and said: "Yes, there are at least two steps, and they are ...... I'll look at the directions...... It is to the south, that is, to go down to the temple foundation. Li Rui was overjoyed and said: "The steps are for walking, and this hole can be specially carved out of the steps, which shows that the hole is not small." If it's a place to hide treasure, it's a very formal treasure trove. ”

Gao Zixuan interjected: "Then what nonsense are you two talking about, hurry up and continue digging, there is no one in this hole right now." Haha, I really didn't expect to find the entrance to the treasure so smoothly, I can't believe it like a dream. ”

Li Rui and Xu Da each nodded, and began to check the details of the location of this cave, trying to find a breakthrough that could open up this hole. The two of them have already smelled the smell of imminent success, they are both energetic and confident, and the fatigue of tearing down the wall before has been swept away.

Xu Dadao: "First clean up the four sides of the hole, including broken bricks, weeds, etc., and then we will dig up the foundation on the south side and see what is under the foundation." The steps in the cave are facing south, which means that the bottom of this foundation is hollow, and we may be able to dig down to find a hole where people can enter. ”

Li Rui nodded again and again in agreement. The two worked together, first cleaning up the debris on the surface of the four sides of the cave entrance, clearing a piece of clean ground one meter square south of the cave entrance, and then using shovels and pickaxes to excavate the foundation.

The surface layer of the foundation is a layer of sand, gravel and soil mixed layer nearly a foot high, and when digging to the bottom of this layer, Li Rui waved the pickaxe to go down, but he heard the sound of the "hammer" of gold and stone, and then the pickaxe jumped violently, almost jumping out of his hand.

"Stones?!"

Li Rui frowned and said, feeling that he had smashed on a stone just now.

Xu Da said: "Listening to the movement is like a stone, but even if there is a stone, the bottom is hollow, continue to dig." ”

Li Rui nodded, continued to pick up, and carefully excavated all the soil-rock mixed layers on the upper part of this square meter foundation. Xu Da was not idle, and shoveled out all the sand, gravel and soil with a shovel, forming a small pit one meter square and a foot deep. After all the gravel and soil in the pit were cleared, a surprising scene appeared in front of Li Rui and Xu Da.

They were three clearly recognizable rectangular stone slabs, placed side by side in an east-west direction, each less than a meter long and half a foot wide (one foot and ten inches, almost thirty-three centimeters, half as long as the small ruler with a standard length of twenty centimeters), and the thickness was not known for the time being. The three stone slabs are firmly embedded in the mountain stone ground, the surface is level with the mountain stone surface, the junction with each other and the gap between the mountain stone surface seems to be poured by something, gray and white, similar to the color of the mountain stone, if it is not for the fact that those poured things have fallen off a lot, you can't see the existence of the three stone slabs at all, and you will think that this is a whole mountain and stone land.
