Chapter 37: Treasure Digging
Meng Xing walked a long distance, and after seeing the abandoned houses under the mountain, he dared to look back, and when he was sure that the other party was not following him, he was relieved.
"Didn't Da Meng say that no one would come here?"
Xiao Meng muttered in his mouth and began to walk to the abandoned house step by step.
There are about three or four houses, and unlike the old-fashioned houses that are usually made of mud, the houses are made of bricks, but most of the walls have collapsed after weather.
Xiao Meng circled around the house a few times, and after determining the southeast direction, he carefully measured the distance and walked to the bottom of the hillside.
Then, corresponding to the poplar trees and soil slope markers mentioned by Dameng, he locked a position and began to explore and excavate.
Meng Xing's backpack was wearing a small hoe bent by a firewood knife, which was specially used to dig the soil, and he dug for more than an hour, making Meng Xing disgraced, but he still found nothing.
"Didn't Da Meng say that the treasure was in the cellar a hundred meters to the southeast? Why not? ”
At this moment, there was no original uneasiness on Meng Xing's face, there was just eagerness.
"Am I looking in the wrong direction?"
Meng Xing thought about it, walked back to the direction of the old house, and then re-examined the direction and measured the distance, and after making sure that his direction and location were not wrong, Liu Guo continued to dig along the direction.
After digging like this for about half an hour, Meng Xing finally found a wooden board under the thick soil that had been accumulated for a long time, and after prying open the wooden plank, a low hole was suddenly revealed, leading to the dark space.
"This is it!?"
Meng Xing's heart was pounding, and his face, which was stained with mud and exhaustion, finally showed a smile of surprise.
To be honest, after looking for so long, Meng Xing already wanted to retreat.
However, in the end, it was based on the trust in Dameng that he persevered.
Now I've finally found the cellar......
Then, according to Professor Meng's method, he checked the air condition step by step to make sure that he could enter, and then took out the flashlight, mustered up the courage, and drilled into the cellar along the low hole.
The cellar is almost three meters long and has a dome structure, and there are some bottles and cans scattered in the cellar, which can be seen as antiques.
Meng Xing looked at these bottles and cans of antiques with a flashlight, his heart was pounding, and an indescribable feeling welled up in his heart.
Suddenly, Meng Xing shone on a box with simple workmanship at the bottom of the cellar.
"Treasure!?"
As soon as Meng Xing saw this box, this thought suddenly appeared in his mind.
Meng Xing was just about to walk to the box, when his footsteps suddenly paused, and the flashlight shone at the corner.
Suddenly, a cold air surged on Meng Xing's back, and his entire figure froze in place.
In the corner of the cellar lay a skeleton, apparently old, and only the bones were corroded.
For a teenage ghost, when has he ever seen such a battle, he only feels a chill and sweat in his back, and his feet can't step out of the way at all.
Meng Xing paused for more than ten seconds like this, but the courage that came out of nowhere, not only was he not frightened and fled, but walked to the box step by step.
"It seems that this period of experience has allowed me to grow a lot."
Da Meng muttered.
Xiao Meng walked to the box, trying not to look at the bones, his eyes were focused on the box, the box was not locked, Meng Xing carefully opened the box.
Inside this large box, which is about a meter long, there are only a few items, and in the box are three or four old clothes, in addition to a few old books.
For today's Meng Xing, treasures are equivalent to gold, silver, jewelry, and the like, so after seeing these, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
Meng Xing took a deep breath, a little unwilling to fumble in the box.
"Huh!?"
Meng Xing had just picked up a piece of clothing, but he only felt as if something was rolling down from inside the clothes.
Meng Xing was about to check, but only found a few pieces of jade with strange colors on the second layer of clothes, which were in a certain difference from the legendary gold and silver jewelry, but Meng Xing also knew that the value of these jade stones was by no means simple, so he put these things in his backpack as soon as possible.
Meng Xing stuffed those ancient books into his backpack and rummaged through them carefully, but there was nothing else to gain, which made Meng Xing a little unwilling, and his eyes turned to the bottles and cans around the box, thinking about whether to put these bottles and cans in the bag.
But at this moment, Meng Xing suddenly felt dizzy in front of him, his whole body had no strength, and he was drowsy.
In such a cellar, the air is not very circulated, the oxygen is thin, and staying here for a long time will naturally have a great impact on the body.
"Not good!"
Xiao Meng exclaimed, he didn't dare to stay for a long time, and hurriedly escaped from the cellar with his backpack on his back.
As soon as Ke walked out of the cellar, he felt a dizziness and a feeling of nausea in his heart.
The whole person fell to the ground, hissing and panting in his mouth, until a good time passed, and then he could be regarded as recovering.
After this incident, Meng Xing, who was still a little enthusiastic about those bottles and cans, did not dare to enter the cellar again, and according to Da Meng's instructions, after the cellar was resealed, he returned step by step with his backpack and the same way.
Thinking back to what happened, Meng Xing felt incredible, although he encountered a lot of accidents along the way, but in the end he still had a lot of gains, but he didn't know if these things were worth anything?
Meng Xing walked like this for three or four minutes, and the mobile phone was signaling, and he was just about to make a call to Da Meng, when suddenly there was a sound of footsteps in his ears, Meng Xing turned around, and saw that the middle-aged man from before happened to appear behind him.
Meng Xing's heart was shocked for no reason, after all, he now has a lot of heirloom treasures.
In this wilderness, if he finds out, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not report any other thoughts.
"Huo!"
Zhao Shi looked at the little ghost in front of him, his whole body was covered with dirt, and he looked as if he had been buried in the dirt alive, and he couldn't help but be startled, "Where did you fall here?" ”
Meng Xing was silent, not knowing how to explain.
Zhao Shi looked at the appearance of the young man in front of him, couldn't help frowning, and asked in a somewhat curious tone: "Didn't you come to beg for firewood?" Why didn't you see you had firewood? ”
Meng Xing explained: "If you fall, you don't want to ask for it. ”
Zhao Shi looked at Meng Xing strangely, obviously didn't believe Meng Xing very much, and his eyes couldn't help but fall on his backpack.
When they were separated before, Zhao Shi looked at the other party's backpack, and it seemed that it was not as bulging as it is now, could it ......
He had heard from his ancestors that the abandoned old houses under the ditch belonged to the landlord's family, and he had heard the story of Liu Papi when he was a child, so he went to the old house to investigate but did not gain much.
Now seeing this little ghost with a disgraced face, a picture of being a thief, but it makes his heart move.
"Show me your backpack!"
