Chapter 161: The Truth? Conceal?
This house is divided into front and back parts, and in front is a slightly more imposing small house, made of tiles and stones, and the number of windows looks like five or six rooms. She didn't go to the back cover room www.biquge.info Pen, Fun, Pavilion, and wanted to come to a place like the kitchen warehouse. On both sides of the house, two open spaces were artificially reclaimed for growing vegetables, and in the late winter, as long as the two plum trees planted at the root of the wall were scattered with a few buds.
Su Ling didn't know much about this mysterious and remote mountain village, but the only thing that was certain was that the person living in this house must have a very high status in Mingqian Village.
As soon as she finished looking, she heard soft footsteps outside the door, and the sound of talking.
"Sister, I heard grandpa say that the psychic invited from outside has arrived, have you seen them?" A slightly immature female voice sounded, just outside the door. It turned out that the owner of the house came back and mentioned the psychic? Su Ling dodged and hid at the base of the wall behind the west wing.
In the next second, two women, one big and one small, held hands and entered the yard, both of them were wearing goose yellow skirts, but they had obviously been washed many times, and the material of the clothes was not very good, and there were a few patches on the corners of my sister's skirt.
"I've never seen it, don't be afraid, Jing'er, this matter will definitely be solved." The elder sister smiled at her sister and comforted her, then picked up the child, who was only four or five years old, and walked in the opposite direction.
It seems to be the child of the owner of the house, the eldest daughter is strangely good-looking, bright eyes and good eyes, much worse than Zhuang Fan, but it is also a standard beauty, although the younger sister is still a child, but looking at her fair skin and delicate facial features, she is also a villain who does not lose to her sister when she grows up.
But my sister just said that "the psychic invited by grandpa", so this "mansion" is the village chief's house?
At this moment, Su Ling suddenly heard an unusually familiar voice.
"Since this Mingqian Village has lived at the foot of the mountain for so long, you must have heard a lot of legends about this ancient tomb, right?"
The voice was low, but a little hoarse, it was the night!
This is really the village chief's house!
Since ancient times, the eunuchs have been wealthy, and they have used the money deducted from the people to eat and drink spicy, buy houses and land, and live a life of wearing gold and silver. And what about the poor? Unable to eat, drink, or clothe, endure exploitation and be oppressed by these people at the same time, history has always been in the hands of a small number of elites.
It seems that Su Ling underestimated the oil and water of this small village, so don't take the village chief as a cadre! But from another point of view, regarding the strange dead people in the village and the panic that caused people's hearts, the village owner was quite responsible, and was willing to take out the money in his pocket and specially go out of the mountain to ask the psychic outside to solve it.
The source of the sound was not far away, so Su Ling followed that direction. It was a hidden compartment in the wing, with a table and two chairs, and Ye Ying sat opposite a white-haired old man, and when she saw this, she hid at the base of the wall.
Wall Roots...
Why do you listen to it so obscenely~trivial~
Well, Su Ling admits that it is immoral to hide under the root of someone's wall and eavesdrop, but who made her a curious baby, Ye Ming is a stuffy gourd, everything is hidden in her heart, and she has the ability to perceive people's hearts, and in the face of such a poker face all day long, her ability is also invalid...
The old man pondered for a while before he spoke, but instead of answering Ye Ming's question directly, he asked, "Master Ye is from the direction of the waterway?" β
Ye Ming's eyebrows tightened, but in an instant, no one noticed it at all, and said slowly: "Just call me Ye Ming." That's right, we were introduced by the boatman from the opposite town, coming from the waterway. β
The old man sighed heavily, shook his head, and said, "No, no." The boatman didn't know how many people's lives he had cheated like this, and the waterway couldn't be walked! β
"No, why not?" The dark light flashed in the eyes of the night, and the light in his eyes was deep and cold, and the old man on the opposite side was shocked at the moment.
The latter swallowed his saliva, and he no longer dared to say sloppy nonsense.
"The water cave was the first to migrate to Mingqian Village, at that time, several families were composed of tomb robber families and retired from the army, even with their families, there were less than 100 people, and their purpose of coming here thousands of miles away was also very simple, that is, for this tomb in the mountains, and my family was also one of them."
The old man stretched out his calloused black hand, which was obviously produced by working in the fields, picked up the worn-out teacup at hand, took a sip of tea, and continued: "But these people overestimate their abilities, and the ancient tombs are buried so deep and secretive that they can't be found at all with their abilities. So, for the funeral goods inside, the ancestors released the news, as soon as the news came out, many capable tomb robbers came one after another, everyone has the same interests, it is convenient to cooperate, and even planned the funeral moral distribution plan. β
"I was young and didn't remember, so I never remembered my father, and my mother told me before she died. On that day, my father and they explored the location of the tomb, and a group of thirty or forty people entered the mountain together, this group of people was composed of representatives of all families in the village, all of whom were among the best people in the village who could speak and have status. β
"Later, the women organized the remaining eldest children in the village to go into the mountains to search, but as a result, they found piles of stumps, broken arms and corpses at the entrance of the robbery cave in the tomb.
After saying this, the old man was silent for a long time, did not look up, did not walk away, just looked at the remaining tea residue at the bottom of the cup with his eyes attentively, and there seemed to be tears in his cloudy old eyes.
After all, it was his father, a father he had never met in his life, and he died so miserably.
After a long time, he sighed heavily, folded his stiff hands, clenched them, and his voice was a little hoarse: "Later, the pillars of the family died, and there were only the old people and female dependents in the village, as well as the children who had not yet grown up, but fortunately, the village was closed in front of the Ming Dynasty, and the war could not burn here, so the ancestors could settle down here and live a good life. β
Dare to feel that the entire villagers of Mingqian Village are the descendants of tomb robbers?!
Su Ling hid at the base of the wall, but he also heard Ye Ming's statement.
For the tragic and miserable experience of others, our cold male god Ye Ming doesn't care, what tears? What's the mood? It's not good, his eyes are cold, he doesn't beat around the bush, and says straight to the point: "You're not telling the truth, you're lying." β
WhatοΌοΌ
Su Ling curled up under the wall, his feet were almost numb, seeing that the mystery of the matter was about to end, but the words of the village chief were all vetoed by the night night!
How much is this kid hiding from them...
