Because catching ghosts and exorcising evil spirits is not a fair and honest thing, there are no superfluous people at dinner at night - Zuo Yuanchao, his wife, her daughter and his younger brother Zuo Yongjun. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Little brother, why didn't Master He come?" During the banquet, Zuo Yongjun cautiously asked the falcon during the toast, and it is estimated that he could also see that He regret was just a small follower.

"Lao Zuo, you look down on my brother and sister." Falcon put down the wine glass in his hand, ignored Zuo Yongjun, and looked at Zuo Yuanchao with a smile.

"Little master, forgive me, my second brother is a rectum, and I hope that the two of you will be more responsible for the wrong words, and we can naturally trust the two masters." Originally, Zuo Yuanchao asked his younger brother to ask, and when he was stared at by a falcon like this, he suddenly felt like he was naked in front of the other party without clothes, and quickly explained embarrassedly.

"It's easy to say, I'll go up the mountain with my junior brother tomorrow to have a look, but don't forget, Lao Zuo, don't make a noise about this, the fewer people who know, the better, otherwise it won't be good for you and me." After the falcon finished speaking, he stared at Zuo Yuanchao a few more times, laughed, and drank his wine.

Zuo Yuanchao was only seen as if the mang was on his back, his hair stood on end, this feeling only appeared once on the mountain last night, at this time he understood, this person in front of him must also be a master, and he didn't dare to say more at the moment, after a meal, his back was already wet with sweat.

He regret naturally didn't bother to care about their affairs, so he hurriedly ate some food and walked around the yard, thinking about what the falcon said in the afternoon.

"Little Master, do you think there are really ghosts?" Just when He Cheng fell into deep thought, a slightly timid voice sounded in his ears.

He regret looked at it, it turned out to be Zuo Yuanchao's daughter Xiuzhi, who was in high school, as a college student, He regret naturally did not believe in ghosts and gods, and was about to show off the atheistic doctrine he learned from school, but after thinking about it, he would ruin the uncle's big thing if he said this, and thought for a while and said: "The words of ghosts and gods are actually ethereal, but the world is yellow, and everything has a reason, I am only just entering the threshold, and I don't know much about these. ”

Because He Cheng is not a few years older than himself, listening to He Cheng is not as fierce as a falcon, Xiuzhi dared to say again: "Anyway, I don't believe that there are ghosts, eighty percent of them are dazzled by my father, and the books say that there are no ghosts." ”

Most of the children in the countryside are simple, and He regret didn't want to lie to her, so he said that she would study more, and she would know everything when she went to college in the future.

Hearing He regret say this, Zuo Xiuzhi's expression couldn't help but darken, He regret was bored, although Zuo Xiuzhi said that she was not particularly beautiful, but she was also quite delicate, so she said a few more words to her, and only after asking carefully did she know that Zuo Yuanchao still has a son, and now he is working outside to earn money, Zuo Yuanchao is a useless person who studies for others, and besides, his daughter needs money to study, and seeing that his son is about to get married, this all requires money, so Zuo Yuanchao said to his daughter several times, let her drop out of school and go to work, Xiuzhi is a very smart child, I have always had good grades in school, and I want to be admitted to university and go out of the countryside, but I have been very sad to hear my father say this.

"Lao Zuo is too much, how can I say that he is also a village chief, his knowledge is too short, no, Xiuzhi, don't worry, I will persuade your father when I go back." He regretted that he felt a little angry after hearing Zuo Xiuzhi, so he promised Xiuzhi, but then again, many rural people at that time had this kind of thinking of Zuo Yuanchao.

Hebei in the third month of the lunar calendar is still relatively cold, especially in the morning and evening, He Cheng and Zuo Xiuzhi chatted for a while and then went back to their rooms.

After breakfast early the next morning, Zuo Yuanchao led the Falcon and He Cheng to go straight to the back mountain, the mountain road was difficult to walk, all the way down, Zuo Yuanchao and Falcon were nothing, but He Yuan was tired enough, and rested several times before arriving at the place.

Zuo Yuanchao did not dare to go again because he was afraid of the time when he was about to arrive at the place, which was also in line with the falcon's intentions, so he left him in a grass hut not far away, the grass hut was built by the people in the village for hunting in the past, and then it was idle when it was not allowed to hunt casually, although the policy did not allow hunting, every year there will still be a lot of old hunters in the village will come into the mountains, and most of the leaders will turn a blind eye, every time they go to the countryside to investigate, and a few people have not tasted the game in the mountains.

Because Falcon and He Siliu came last time, he remembered the road, and it didn't take long for him and He Cheng to come to the "haunted" place.

"Did you notice anything different?" The falcon wandered around for a while, turning back to He Cheng and asked.

"What's the difference, the banyan tree over here looks quite oozing." He regret also followed the falcon around several times, and there was no sign of the ancient tomb anywhere, but it was no wonder that He regret, he was a complete layman in this regard.

"Master, your eyesight is good, you can see at a glance that the banyan tree is not ordinary, this is a living baby, the sixth master said that this tree is hundreds of years old." The falcon smiled and looked at the big banyan tree, and then said, "Do you see any other differences?" ”

"Something else?" After the falcon mentioned it, He Cheng couldn't help but look around, and after looking at it for a while, he still didn't find anything special, so he shook his head and pointed to the grass that had just sprouted on the ground and said with a wry smile: "Brother Falcon, don't tease me, I don't know anything about this, if you want to say something different, the grass in this place is a little less than in other places." ”

"That's right, worthy of the people of the old He family, these grasses are one of the evidences that there are ancient tombs underground." Falcon said with a smile.

The ancients paid attention to "watching the wind", "looking at the air", "listening to the sound" and "looking at the soil", and the real connoisseurs not only had a pair of "eyes into the ground" but also had a pair of "ears to listen to the wind".

"Three listens and take a look" in the "look" refers to the "grass color mud marks", "grass color" refers to the observation of the growth of the surface vegetation, the general vegetation is not good, the grass color is yellow, as long as there are ancient tombs underground, especially thousands of years of ancient tombs often appear in this situation.

This is because the soil used in the tomb is not ordinary soil, but the use of dry charcoal, viscous white plaster mud, and lime triple soil from top to bottom, from the inside to the outside, layer by layer, rammed, so that it is difficult for rainwater and groundwater to seep into the tomb, resulting in low groundwater levels in these places, so that the vegetation on the tombs is sparse.

He regret had only seen a similar introduction in the book before, and now he listened to the falcon's explanation in combination with the actual situation before he remembered the content of the book, and after half a ring, He regret took out the Luoyang shovel he had just brought when he came, took out some soil from the ground, and said with a smile: "This is 'flower soil', right, do I call it 'looking at mud marks'?" ”

There was a lot of pride in the words.

"The craftsmanship of the tomb robbers of the Northern Sect, this is not a skill, and anyone with a little knowledge in this area knows it." He regretted that he originally wanted to show off, but he didn't expect to be blocked by the falcon, so he had to scratch his head helplessly.

"If I'm not mistaken, Uncle asked me to get something, it should be in the tomb." He regretted seeing that the falcon didn't look at him, so he rubbed his face and asked, but he wondered in his heart: What is this called, the uncle actually asked himself to rob the tomb, it seems that the uncle's antique business is fake, and the tomb robbery is real.

"The sixth master only told me to protect the safety of the young master, and I don't know anything else." Falcon replied.

"And when are we going down?"

"Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, when everyone is ready, go down."

After returning to Zuo Yuanchao's home in Zuoming Village, He regretted thinking a lot, since the uncle was a tomb robber, presumably his father also knew, how much did his father participate in these years? Thinking like this, He regret suddenly felt that the people he loved and loved were strangers, and he passed a day in a trance, alas, everything will wait until he goes back.
