[PS: Or ask for favorites and recommended tickets]
Meng Gang arrived home at about two o'clock in the afternoon, and as soon as he entered the house, he found that his father Meng Dazhu was sitting in the middle of the hall and smoking a cigarette, looking preoccupied.
"Dad, what the hell is going on? Calling me back in such a hurry? Where's my mom? ”
"Your mother is cooking, and we'll talk about it when you eat." Meng Dazhu was frightened enough by the ghost in the morning, and when he saw his son coming back, the haze in his heart dissipated a little, and he stood up and shouted to the firewood room next to him: ", just came back, bring out the food!" ”
After the family of three ate, Meng Dazhu carefully closed the courtyard door, and then said to his daughter-in-law: "You talk to your son." ”
Meng Gangren, as his name suggests, is a short-tempered person, and the reason why Meng Dazhu and his wife did not tell him about the silver at the beginning was that they were afraid that they would be impulsive and bad.
"That's the way it is, your dad has been digging there a few times, but nothing has been dug up, and he encountered this again, so he called you back." Meng Dazhu's wife told her son about the matter.
Meng Gang is twenty-one years old this year, after graduating from junior high school, he mixed for a few years, and later started a small business with his uncle selling vegetables in the county, which can be regarded as a little knowledgeable. Is it a bloody plot of something on TV?
However, when he heard his mother say that the second master told his father before he died, Meng Gang immediately paid attention to it. He knew that his grandfather did work as a housekeeper in the big landlord's house surnamed Meng back then, because of this incident, his grandfather and the second master were also criticized by the red armband, and the problem that the second master could not have children was left at that time.
Meng Gang thought about it, and felt more and more that this matter was quite reliable, so he couldn't help but stand up and say loudly: "Mom, why didn't you tell me about this earlier?" What the hell? It must have been my father who heard it wrong, I went to that cave in the back mountain several times when I was a child, what the hell is there......"
"Be quiet!" Meng Dazhu hurriedly stopped Meng Gang from shouting: "If I don't tell you, I'm afraid that you don't have a door to talk about now, and you will shout." ”
Meng Gang also realized that his voice was too loud, so he hurriedly lowered his voice and said, "Dad, tell me carefully, what is the specific situation, why didn't you dig it?" ”
When Meng Li escaped from his home to the cave after eating the sweet potatoes, he found that the lights in the cave had been extinguished, and the cave was pitch black and his fingers could not be seen.
Did this light run out of electricity, or did Meng Dazhu come to the cave again during the day and turn off the light?
There was no way, Meng Li had no choice but to use the earth escape technique to check the situation underground.
"The soil in the cave has changed, and it seems that Meng Dazhu came again during the day later."
Meng Li escaped to the lamp that Meng Dazhu stored in the cave, just touched the switch of the lamp, and wanted to try to see if it could be used, when he suddenly heard movement from the direction of the cave entrance, and hurriedly had an idea, and launched the earth escape technique to hide in the rock wall.
"Dad, I didn't say you, you are too bold, what the hell is here, I have checked it before, when I came in the afternoon, the light you put here was still on, and there was no one and no ghost. Besides, when we come to the cave, who knows what we are doing, why do we have to stay up late at night to dig, listen to me, just work during the day, swaggering, make sure no one doubts! ”
Two people came in, one in front and one behind, one young and one old, both of them turned on flashlights, and walked inside, and the young man in front was still complaining about the older one in the back.
It's him? Meng Dazhu's son Meng Gang!
Hearing this voice, Meng Li immediately knew who the young man in front of him was.
Hearing this voice, the corners of Meng Li's mouth couldn't help but smile coldly, Meng Gang has been back in the village for the past two years, and the reason why he is deeply impressed by Meng Gang is mainly because of one thing.
At that time, Meng Li's mother had just passed away, and one afternoon he picked up his sister from the village primary school to go home from school, and happened to meet Meng Gang who came back from the county seat and walked around the village on the way. Meng Gang was furious on the spot, scolding Meng Li's brothers and sisters for being "a dead star" and "a son born to a father and a dog", and rushed up and punched Meng Li a few times with his fist, which scared Meng Die into crying at that time.
Meng Li knew that he couldn't beat Meng Gang, who was six or seven years older than him, and he didn't want his sister to be beaten by Meng Gang with him, so he had to grit his teeth and apologize and endure.
After that incident, Meng Die cried and screamed for her mother for several days, and Meng Li's mood at that time was ...... Unspeakable. Looking at the bruises on his body that were punched out by Meng Gang with his fists, Meng Li also swore in his heart that one day he would teach Shun to teach this Meng Gang who bullied his brother and sister.
With that friction, it was difficult for Meng Li to think about whether he was impressed by this Meng Gang.
"Is that him? It seems that Meng Dazhu called him back from the county seat. ”
Meng Li's mind flashed back to the scene of being beaten and scolded by Meng Gang at that time, and his sister was so frightened that she cried, and she couldn't help but hate in her heart, and she couldn't help but take revenge immediately.
Now that he has become the land of Mengjia Village, although he is still only a mortal in the flesh, he can use the power of the land to use the art of earth escape, and he can manipulate the earth elements of Mengjia Village at will, and take revenge on a person in the boundary of Mengjia Village, which is simply as easy as a hand.
It's like now, as long as Meng Li uses the earth escape technique to make Meng Gang fall a rock on his head, he can be smashed on the spot, or even killed!
On the surface, it looks like a natural disaster, and Meng Gang can only be blamed for his bad luck, and no one will suspect Meng Li.
"Forget it, it's been so long, after all, I accidentally ran into him first...... If there is a next time, I will definitely make him look good! ”
Meng Li finally put out the psychology of revenge, when his mother was alive, he taught him since he was a child that he should not hold grudges, and holding grudges will only make him unhappy.
Later, when he learned about his biological father, he understood that his mother wanted him not to hold a grudge against that person.
Meng Li is not a person who does not hold grudges, but under the influence of Liang Xin and books, and in his young heart, he also has some guidelines for behaving and doing things.
Although he can't repay his grievances with virtue and don't hold grudges at all, he won't care about it, and he won't repay it.
"I'll find out the 'treasure', take it all, and let your father and son work for nothing!"
Meng Li controlled the art of earth escape, shuttling through the rocks and soil, centering on the hole discovered by Meng Dazhu, and quickly expanding the search range in all directions.
Five minutes later, he finally found something strange more than seventy meters away from the hole Meng Dazhu had discovered.
This is the deeper part of the cave, from the cave where Meng Dazhu's father and son are located, go inside, zigzag and walk sixty or seventy meters to come to a hole smaller than that hole, the size is only seven or eight square meters. The place where Meng Li found it was in one corner of this cave.
"It's so far away from Meng Dazhu and them, be careful, if you dig here, you shouldn't let them find anything unusual, but for the sake of insurance, it's better to wait for them to be gone before you do it, and you can borrow their lights and tools." Listening to Meng Gang's tone, it seems that he is unwilling to work at night, so he happens to work at night! Use your tools to take the treasure that you might have discovered, hehe......"
Meng Li manipulated the earth element to carefully "check" the strange place, which was more than a meter below the surface, and there was a very regular rectangular space, which was very similar to the shape of a box.
Meng Li could determine that this was where the silver was buried.
After returning home with the technique of soil escape, Meng Li waited until eleven or twelve o'clock in the evening, estimating that Meng Gang's father and son should not be in the cave, so he escaped back. When I arrived at the first hole, Meng Gang, Meng Dazhu, father and son were really not there, and Meng Li came to the hole where the box was hidden with a lamp and digging tools.
Meng Li's physique was thin and his strength was small, and it took nearly an hour and a half of digging to reveal the true face of a wooden box that had almost rotted.
There is only one chest.
By the light of the lamp, Meng Li saw some blackened lumps exposed in the rotten wooden box, he took out a piece and held it in his hand, it was heavy, and wiped it on his clothes, revealing a shiny luster.
It's the silver ingot! A full box!
