Chapter 36: Tomb Robbery
"Dad, do you remember the antiques from Tiger Gully more than ten years ago?"
During the meal, Meng Xing asked Meng Yong about antiques.
"Why are you asking this?"
"I'm just curious! How can there be antiques there? ”
Meng Yong glanced at Meng Xing strangely, looked at Meng Xing's face full of curiosity, and still explained: "Those rooms in Laohugou were originally a landlord's home, but then the situation was turbulent, and as a result, a team of people went to approve it. ”
Meng Xing nodded, he had already heard about this.
In the township, there will be some strange 'stories' more or less, and this martial arts master, known as Liu Papi, can be said to be the most widely spread martial arts legend in childhood.
"Just after he was killed, the others began to raid his home, only to find that the gold, silver and jewelry of the other party's house had already been looted, and his wife, son, daughter-in-law, all gone, at that time thought that their whole family had also fled, but decades later, in that cellar, found his wife's body, it turned out that it was only his son and daughter-in-law who left, and he hid his wife on the cellar floor, as a result, the Red Guards thought they had escaped, so they raided his home, so frightened that his wife did not dare to come out, But within a few days, a landslide occurred there, and as a result, the mudslide pressed on the exit, directly suffocating people to death. ”
After Meng Xing heard Meng Yong's words, he suddenly felt creepy, and couldn't help but retreat.
I thought it was just a cellar, but I didn't expect there to be a corpse inside......
"Isn't that the same as robbing a tomb?"
Meng Xing hesitated, recalling himself more than ten years ago, but no matter what fear, burden, or hesitation, even after more than ten years, it had already been blurred and forgotten.
"Forget it! I'll just pit myself! ”
Meng Xing remade up his mind in his heart, and then continued to ask Meng Xing, "What are those antiques?" ”
"I heard what kind of jade is it, and there are some bottles and cans and the like, but these bottles and cans are not worth a few dollars, and they only bought twenty or thirty thousand yuan in total, but a piece of jade pendant was sold for more than 100,000 yuan."
Meng Yong couldn't help but have a look of envy on his face.
Meng Yong once had dinner at the same table with the person who got the antiques, and when the other party was drinking, he heard the other party talk about it, and at that time, he envied the whole table half to death.
"Jade Pei!?"
Meng Xing wrote down what Meng Yong said, and then continued to ask tentatively: "What kind of jade pendant?" ”
"I haven't seen it again, how do I know!?"
Meng Yong glanced at Meng Xing angrily, not understanding why the other party was asking about these things.
Seeing Meng Yong's impatient appearance, Meng Xing didn't want to continue to ask, and began to wait for Xiao Meng's call the next day.
The time unconsciously arrived at night, Meng Xing followed the brain training method, listened to breathing, and sightseeing.
It is also strange to say, in Meng Xing's original memory, there is no such memory.
However, after the past changes, a new temporal memory appears, and this memory seems to be generated out of thin air.
But after the new memory appears, the original memory does not disappear, but coexists in the consciousness.
In just a few minutes, I felt my eyes feel hot and numb.
Meng Xing opened his eyes, his gaze was like lightning, and with the help of the faint light in the room, he saw the room clearly.
"Although I didn't become a master, I also developed a good pair of eyes......"
Meng Xing's mouth was amazed for a long time, and then he closed his eyes.
The next day, Da Meng got up early, waited for Xiao Meng's call with his mobile phone, and his heart was full of nervousness and worry.
After all, according to memory, the reason why the two couldn't get through was because there was a problem with the phone, so Xiao Meng gave up, but Da Meng paused on the 5th according to the clues in the notebook, which gave Da Meng hope.
But as time passed, there was no movement on the phone.
Meng Xing closed his eyes tightly, trying his best to think about the scene more than ten years ago, but this memory had already been blurred.
Unconsciously, it was already past eight o'clock, and usually Xiao Meng would call himself around seven o'clock, but now, ......
"Can't you really get in touch?"
Meng Xing sighed, feeling a sense of loss in his heart.
Thinking back to a few days ago, Meng Xing and Xiao Meng discussed how to save people and how to make money, but finally made Da Meng think about how to make money quickly, but the connection between the two was broken again, "Am I really not destined to be a rich man!?" ”
Jingle bells!
Suddenly, the old-fashioned phone started vibrating.
For a while, Meng Xing's cold hairs stood on end, his eyes were bright, and his eyes locked on his mobile phone like lightning.
Just after confirming that it was Xiao Meng calling, Meng Xing's heart couldn't help but pound, and he only felt a breath of hot air surging directly from his chest to his cheeks.
Press the answer button, carefully hand the phone to your ear, and say into the microphone, "Hey! ”
The space was silent, like all the sounds.
At the same time, the love that originally spanned more than ten years appeared in Meng Xing's memory......
Xiao Meng looked at the mirror in the bathroom sluggishly, staring at himself in the mirror with wide eyes, and it took a while to react, "Da Meng!?" ”
"That's right, I'm Da Meng, I know you have a lot to say, but don't say anything now, just listen to me, now you put on your clothes and go directly to Tiger Ridge."
When Xiao Meng heard this, he was immediately startled, "Where are you going?" ”
Laohuling is only about a mile away from Meng Xing's house, and Xiao Meng's grandfather is buried near Laohuling, so he is naturally no stranger to this place.
It's just that it's usually inaccessible, and it's still a little frustrating to let Meng Xing go alone.
"Go there and find the treasure!"
"Treasure!?"
Xiao Meng's heart thumped, for his current age, the word treasure is absolutely tempting for the owner.
"That's right! You listen to me now, put on your school bag, and it's better to bring some tools, and go to the ditch of Longhuling to find an abandoned and collapsed old house, just under the hillside a hundred meters southeast of the house, there is a cellar inside, and the treasure is inside. ”
After Da Meng finished speaking, the other side of the microphone had lost his voice, and it took a while to hear Xiao Meng ask in a low voice: "Can I sue my father?" ”
"No way!"
Meng Xing didn't want to refuse, and urged: "You prepare things right now and go digging immediately." ”
Xiao Meng showed hesitation on his face.
"Hurry up, maybe we have the only chance left this time, if we don't grasp it well, we may not have a chance in the future, and as long as you get this treasure, you may not be able to go to school in the future."
Da Meng sensed Xiao Meng's hesitation and began to coerce and lure.
Dameng clearly remembers that he was the most afraid of going to school, and sometimes on Monday mornings, he would cry because he had to go to school.
Really!
Just after hearing Da Meng's words, Xiao Meng's spirit was suddenly shocked, "Okay! Then I'll look for it. ”
"You eat something first, and then bring the firewood knife, flashlight, gloves, matches, and water at home, and then bring a set of spare clothes, right, don't forget the key to Hu Qi's house......"
Da Meng instructed Xiao Meng.
"Good!"
Xiao Meng immediately ate the morning at the fastest speed in his life, swallowed dates, and then hurriedly walked towards the direction of Laohuling with his bags on his back.
"There is a poplar tree on the left hand side of the cellar, and a small dirt bag on the back of your right hand, remember: when you enter the cellar, remember to check the ventilation inside first, check the oxygen concentration ......"
Xiao Meng was in a hurry, while Da Meng explained the precautions to him.
It took Xiao Meng about half an hour to walk to Laohugou.
When he walked here, the mobile phone signal had disappeared, and Xiao Meng had to put away the phone and walk alone in this deep mountain and old forest.
I don't know if it's because Da Meng's words worked before, or because of other reasons, Xiao Meng is not as scared as Da Meng himself thinks, but he has a kind of excitement and curiosity in his heart.
Just when Xiao Mengshan winded path towards the treasure hiding site, he suddenly found a figure on the trail approaching.
The figure looked to be thirty-five or sixteen years old, with rough and dark skin, yellow and blackened teeth, and was obviously a long-term smoker.
The middle-aged man carried a hoe on his shoulder, and a firewood knife was inserted in his back.
Meng Xing had a faint sense of fear in his heart, but his footsteps did not stop.
"Is that him?"
Da Meng was shocked for no reason, and he was no stranger to this middle-aged man.
The name of the person in front of him is Zhao Shi, just near Laohugou, he owns a few acres of land, and he got those antiques ten years ago.
Just as the two were about to stagger past, Zhao Shi blocked Meng Xing's way.
"What are you doing here alone?"
In this wilderness, such a twelve or thirteen-year-old ghost appeared here, how could it not make people suspicious.
"I ...... I'm here to ask for firewood. ”
Meng Xing's heart suddenly moved, and he took out the firewood knife behind him and explained to the middle-aged man.
"Haha, how much firewood can you beg for with such a little brat! I see that if you ask for a day's firewood, you may burn it in one meal. ”
Zhao Shi couldn't help but laugh a few times, his face full of ridicule.
Meng Xing didn't bother to pay attention, walked past the other party, followed the mountain road, and continued to walk towards the abandoned old house in the ravine.
Zhao Shi looked at Meng Xing's back and muttered a few times, but he didn't pay much attention.
