Chapter 256: Heavy Losses

When Zhang Housheng saw the man come in, he said, "Third child, go wash first, thank you for your hard work." ”

The third smiled and waved his hand, and said, "It's okay, it's going well today, it's not much of a big deal to put the rabbit in, it is estimated that in two days, we can go in." ”

Zhang Housheng said happily when he heard this: "Okay! Two days, oh no, three days, and after three days we'll get to work and try to dig up this tomb as soon as possible. ”

Hearing Zhang Housheng say this, the lean sixth said with some concern: "Big brother, why are you in such a hurry, I think this tomb is quite evil, the seventh, ninth and tenth, but they are all trapped here, should we be more careful?" ”

Zhang Housheng frowned when he heard the sixth child say this, and said: "No, this matter can't be delayed any longer, the more we drag it out, the easier it is for us to be exposed. ”

The third child also nodded and said: "Big brother is right, the public security investigation has been so strict for a while, I am also restless, let's finish it early and go abroad to be happy." ”

The sixth child still wanted to say something, but seeing that the two had already decided, he didn't want to say anything more, so he said with some subtlety: "If we knew this, we shouldn't have listened to Qian Changxing's opinion and entrusted things to him to sell." ”

"That's it! Don't say that! ”

Zhang Housheng waved his hand and said, "If you don't entrust him to sell, where will the seventh child pay for their settling-in fee?" From you? ”

"This ......"

The sixth said secretly in his heart, why did you come out of me, why don't you come out as the boss. If you had advanced the money first, the police would not have noticed us.

Lao Liu thought that on one side was the public security. On one side was the terrible tomb, and I was a little panicked. opened his mouth and said: "Big brother, the momentum is so wrong now, why don't we withdraw first?" When the situation improves after a while, let's come back again, what do you think? ”

In fact, in the final analysis, in addition to the fear of being brought to justice, the most important thing is that because of the previous events, he has developed a fear of this ancient tomb, before there is no safety guarantee. He didn't want to go down to that tomb.

However, the sixth child's words made Zhang Housheng suddenly angry, and he slapped him when he went up, and the corners of his mouth were bloody, and his cheeks and lips were high and swollen.

"your fart, how many years has Lao Tzu been planning this place, and if you tell me to give up, I'll give up?! Believe it or not, I'll deflate you first! ”

Since Zhang's father moved to Zhoujiazhuang, he began to search for the location of the tomb recorded by their family. But at first, he didn't dare to make a move. After all, he was a foreigner who had just fled to this place, and if there was any unusual movement, the villagers would immediately become suspicious of him.

At that time, although Zhang's father was anxious to find the location of the tomb as soon as possible, he also knew the reason why he couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry. After staying here honestly for seven or eight years, and getting acquainted with all the villagers, I began to secretly find the tomb.

"The hard work pays off". After stumbling and looking for several years, I finally found a small mound more than 100 meters behind Zhoujiazhuang Village. The location of the tomb was discovered.

As I said before, Zhang's father was for various reasons. He didn't do anything about the tomb, but he didn't do anything. At that time, in the name that Zhang Housheng was old and needed a new house for marriage, he applied for a homestead not far from the small mound, which is the place where Zhang Housheng now lives, so that he could do anything about this tomb at any time.

Zhang Housheng inhaled poisonous gas because of that time, in addition to making him unable to work, his body also suffered some damage. The older he gets, the more he feels that his body is not as good as before, so he begins to prepare for his back path, which is why he came up with the idea of this tomb.

At the beginning, after the house was built, Zhang's father planned to contribute a sum of money on the grounds that he wanted to manage the farmland nearby, and in addition to exchanging land with other villagers, he wanted to contract a total of ten acres of land near the small mound.

Zhang's father has always been very honest and helpful in Zhoujiazhuang, and the conditions offered made the villagers very satisfied, so the village agreed, and the contract period was also 30 years.

Later, Zhang Housheng regarded Zhoujiazhuang as his lair, and did not move this tomb at first. It was only after his wife was "in a car accident" that he began to dig a tunnel from his own house to the tomb, so that it was not until two months ago that he finally dug the passage to the entrance of the tomb with the help of other accomplices.

Since he had dug to the door of the tomb, and Zhang Housheng had gradually felt that his body was not as good as before, he ordered to use a drill to drill through the tomb door.

The tomb in front of Zhang Housheng and them is at least 2,200 years old, and after such a long period of closure, the corpses and burial goods inside will definitely produce a large amount of poisonous gas.

In the past, in order to prevent the poisonous gases in the tomb from invading the body, tomb robbers would light a candle into it, and if the candle went out, indicating a lack of oxygen inside, the tomb robber must leave immediately, otherwise he would die.

However, for Zhang Housheng and them, of course, they would not use the ancient method of candles, they had already prepared an exhaust fan, and they used it as soon as they drilled through the tomb door.

After so many years, Zhang Housheng's experience in robbing tombs has been very rich, although the treasures in the tomb are very attractive, but the exhaust fan still ran for two days and two nights before stopping.

The first to go down to visit the tomb were the seventh and tenth children, who each had a thick rope tied to their bodies and wore miner's lamp hats, and went down to the passage with a soft ladder. However, this passage is very narrow, only enough for two or three people to crawl forward at the same time. So, a few others were in the tunnels, waiting for the good news to come.

After the two went down, everything was normal at first, but after only five minutes, the rope did not move, Zhang Housheng and they shouted above, but there was no movement at all, so a group of people hurriedly pulled out the people who went down to the tomb.

When they pulled people out, the group of tomb robbers were all startled, only to see the seventh and tenth children, all black and shriveled, and the whole person seemed to have turned into two mummies.

Moreover, Zhang Housheng, who had a keen sense of smell, also smelled a sweet smell from the two corpses, so he didn't care about anything else, and hurriedly beckoned the others to run outside, and when everyone ran to the house, he felt dizzy for a while, and it took a while to ease up.

The experienced Zhang Housheng and the others immediately knew that these two people were poisoned to death, and the poison was so strong that it only took a few minutes to turn the two people into this appearance, and it could affect them, which was really terrifying and terrifying.

After that, Zhang Housheng put on protective tools and pulled out the bodies of Lao Qi and Lao Shi for disposal, but they had nothing to do with the poison gas, so they could only start pumping it up with an exhaust fan again.

The exhaust fan worked for ten days, Zhang Housheng and they thought that it was almost over, and for the sake of safety, they let Lao Jiu go down to the tomb alone with a gas mask as before.

This time the situation was obviously much better than the last time, and after ten minutes, Lao Jiu was still advancing, which made the group very happy, thinking that it must be okay now.

But they didn't expect that after a while, they were happy, and suddenly a scream faintly came from the passage, which let them know that something must have happened to Lao Jiu, so they quickly pulled him out of the door.

It's just that the person pulled it out, but it made them startled, but they didn't expect them to pull out a headless corpse, and seeing the corpse dressed up, needless to say, this person was Lao Jiu, who was still alive just now.

Zhang Housheng ignored the disgusting, carefully looked at the corpse, based on his experience, Lao Jiu should have been beaten by a boulder into this appearance, in this case, Lao Jiu is likely to encounter a rope hanging stone.

The iron cable hanging stone is mainly to fix a number of metal pulleys at the top of the tomb road and the hidden place of the wall, and use the pulley to lift the boulder and hang it at the top. The cemetery is paved with wooden seesaws, and the cable chain is lowered from the stone slabs, and the rockers are connected in a concealed way by pulleys, and there are hooks and unhooks in the middle, which can automatically fall off when pressed by external forces.

The rocker is strip-shaped, and the length and width vary according to the specific conditions of the tomb. The hanging stone can be hung on the top of the tomb in three layers, each layer is independent of each other, and the cable chain shrinks in and out through the hole in the stone.

When everything is done, disguise is applied, and outsiders don't know that there is fraud in it. If a tomb robber enters and steps on the seesaw, the external force forces the taut rope chain to fall off somewhere, like a well-digging wheel suddenly relaxing, and the suspended boulder falls rapidly, slapping the tomb robber who can't dodge into a meatloaf.

Because the rockers are long, narrow strips, they can only be stepped on to cause the rocks to fall to the ground, while the other adjacent rockers are unharmed, still lying quietly in place waiting for the next group of grave robbers to enter. As soon as the thief's footsteps are taken, the hanging stones attached to them fall one after another, and once again strike a deadly attack on the daring ones. This goes on and on until the three layers of hanging stones fall to the ground, and then they stop.

It's just that what makes Zhang Housheng a little strange is that it stands to reason that after so many years, this metal chain should be rusty and rotten, how can it still be used now? This made Zhang Housheng a little puzzled, could it be that he guessed wrong, not the iron cable hanging stone?

After thinking about it for a long time, Zhang Housheng didn't come up with a reason, so he put this matter aside, and now there are more important things waiting for him, he found that Lao Jiu's skin was actually like the previous two people, black and a little dehydrated, which made him startled, and quickly escaped with the others.

The scene just now made this group of tomb robbers a little overwhelmed, how could they smoke for ten days, and the poisonous gas was not dissipated, so when will it be finished? And in addition to poison gas, there are actually organs, the key is that after more than 2,000 years, the organs can still be used, which is really unexpected by this group. (To be continued......)
