Chapter 423: Metal Detector

"Baby, what baby?" Both men expressed curiosity.

The straw hat man spat out a mouthful of bagasse and muttered; "I heard that there are antiquities (antiques) underneath. This area used to be a big grave mountain, where some rich officials were buried, and those forced cubs went to the things in the tomb. Dig our place full of pits. Last year, a big hole was dug in my family's sugarcane field, and seven or eight bundles of sugarcane were trampled on. ”

Speaking of this, the straw hat man was so angry that he even vomited bagasse.

After listening to the lighter, he suddenly became interested: "Oh, there is such a thing, has anyone ever dug up a treasure?"

The straw hat man took a bite of sugar cane and said, "God knows, those turtle grandchildren all came in the middle of the night and left before dawn, and the ghost knows what was dug up."

"Then it seems that you really have something here, otherwise it wouldn't have been dug up like that." Dongwei said.

Straw hat man: "I heard the old man (old man) in the village say that there used to be the tombs of big officials here, but now they have been washed away by the rain, and they can't be seen." However, when our village is old (dead), when we dig new graves, we often hit some messy porcelain pieces. Sometimes some old gadgets can be washed out of the hillside, and the old old stuff says that things are ominous, and they are all smashed. ”

After listening to his words, the two of them almost jumped and smashed their feet, you don't want it, give it to me, isn't this a tyrannical thing.

Fortunately, they didn't really jump their feet, or they would have been exposed.

When I saw that they didn't answer, I thought they were fascinated. The Straw Hat Man continued, as if telling a story, "You don't believe in those things that are ominous? One day under a large banyan tree on the west side of the pine forest, we saw a beautiful bottle and went to pick it up. At this moment, there was a sudden ghost fire, and it was chasing him, so frightened that he hurriedly threw away the bottle, and when he got home, he was seriously ill for a month. Later, he never dared to go there again. ”

"Ghost fire?" Dongwei and Donggua glanced at each other, and immediately understood something.

You know, there is such a thing as ghost fire.

"Ghost fires" are "phosphorus fires" and are usually found in rural areas, often on dry days in summer. Because human bones contain phosphorus, phosphine is produced when phosphorus reacts with water or alkali, which is a gas that can spontaneously combust, is lightweight, and moves when the wind blows, but it has not been proven.

When walking, it will drive it to move behind, and when you look back, it is very scary, so it is called "ghost fire" by those who are timid or superstitious.

However, this can be determined on another level, where the ghost fire was found, there must be a cemetery underneath.

In addition, the two also found an important clue in the words of the straw hat man just now. He said that the bottle and ghost fire were found under a large banyan tree on the west side of the pine forest, which matched the spot they had marked as location one not long ago.

It seems that the night will focus on that place.

The two of them chatted with the straw hat man for about half an hour before leaving. The straw hat man learned a lot about Southwest University from the mouths of the two, carried the rabbit, and went home satisfied.

Originally, the Straw Hat Man wanted to invite them home to eat rabbit meat, but the latter refused.

After all, they are fighting backwards, and it doesn't matter what is the matter with the people in the nearby village.

The two of them walked a little along the road, and then lingered for a while near a deserted melon shed, waiting for the fat man and another cadre to come.

At four or five o'clock in the afternoon, Dongwei received a call from the fat man, and the four of them were in a secluded place and secretly bumped their heads.

The four of them got into the van together.

"How's it going, how are things going?" The fat man took the initiative to ask.

Dongwei replied: "Brother Donggua and I have stepped on three points, one of which is very likely to be the tomb of a big family or a big official."

"Well done. The things on our side have been done, and the film team has already entered the village, and the four big movies of the Anti-Japanese War are enough for them to see after the early hours of the morning. The fat man had a smug smile on his face.

"Great, I'll wait until it's dark."

"Well, let's find a dense forest first and hide the car first. Then eat something, rest and rest, and wait until half past seven in the evening, and we will start on time. ”

"I'm okay with that."

"I'm okay with that."

"Yes, that's it."

The four hit it off and began to recharge for the next action. The inverted bucket is a manual work, and if you still don't have enough food and don't rest well, the efficiency is greatly reduced.

It's a long wait, especially waiting to do something bad, so nervous that you can't sleep at all. If you can't sleep, you have to sleep, so you just have to force yourself to close your eyes to save some energy.

It seemed like centuries had passed, and it was finally getting dark.

The fat man kept looking at his watch, and finally, at half past seven in the evening.

In the countryside, especially in the mountains, it was already late at half past seven, and there was no light at all, only the moonlight and starlight like a tulle projected from above, setting off the already quiet environment more quietly and eeriely.

The group got out of the van, carrying tools and flashlights, and headed deep and shallow towards the pine forest.

Because Dongwei and Winter Melon have already stepped on the dots before, it is not difficult to find the places where to make good marks.

They first found the number one place.

The fat man looked at the low hill in front of him, and there was no tomb on it, and he couldn't help muttering, "Is this it?" What the fuck does this look like, doesn't it look like a tomb? ”

Winter melon smiled: "Fat boss, if ordinary people can see it, either the years are too short and there are nothing worthless." Either they have been targeted or hollowed out, can they still have our meat to eat? ”

The fat man thinks about it, and since it is set to be this position, let's give it a try. He snorted at the winter melon and said, "Then let's start."

Winter melon nodded, put the miner's lamp on his head, picked up the metal detector, and began to sweep the hill wildly.

This kind of metal detector, named U8, costs 9,000 yuan a piece. Not the kind of metal detector that is particularly expensive and professional. As the saying goes, you get what you pay for, and it can only detect metal seven or eight meters underground.

If it is an imperial mausoleum, an imperial mausoleum, it will definitely not work, the mausoleum of that level is dozens or even hundreds of meters underground, and the metal detector of U8 cannot be swept at all.

But for ordinary large households, or the tombs of big officials, seven or eight meters is basically enough.

It didn't take long for a straight strip of metal to appear on the screen of the metal detector, and there was a dididi alarm sound.
