Chapter 14: Into the Grave

When ordinary children encounter this situation, they can hold back their screams and hide them honestly. Waiting for the two grave robbers to go far away, and then running back to the school or town to report the news, that is already the best response. However, because Wang Mengxiong laid a good foundation of boxing for him because of Li Chengyue, coupled with the diligent practice of the day after tomorrow, a few ordinary big men are not necessarily his opponents, not to mention these two thin people. So Wang Mengxiong not only did not hide, but took the initiative to follow the uncle and nephew not far behind, until they reached their destination, without being noticed.

The old man poked out of his bosom a black disc-shaped object, fiddled with it from time to time, and at last leveled it, and then remained motionless against the flat ground deep in a col. By the light of the stars, Wang Mengxiong vaguely recognized that the object seemed to be a compass.

"How? Uncle? Is this it? ”

The old man looked at the violently beating hands and smiled with satisfaction. Then he put the compass away and put it away, stomped his right foot vigorously and said, "Can't be wrong, this is it!" Take the dick out and dig down where I stomped! ”

The nephew unloaded a burden on his body, took out a few objects from it, and quickly assembled a Luoyang shovel. Don't look at this kid as thin and small, but he has a lot of energy, and it doesn't take long for the shovel to dig into hard objects.

"Uncle, it seems that you have passed the sealing layer and have reached the roof of the brick room?"

"Really? Haha, I didn't expect to be so lucky, I didn't have to work hard to find the right place. Stop, and I'll leave it to my uncle!" You must know that the roofs of these ancient tombs are usually densely covered with traps, and if you are not careful, it is easy to trap our uncle and nephew into it. I taught you your craft, and it's still a little hot to deal with this kind of ancient tomb. ”

The two tomb robbers were in ecstasy, unaware that there was a child lurking not far away. Wang Mengxiong didn't jump out immediately, he had only heard of Cao Mengde's establishment of Captain Mojin and Faqiu Zhonglang in order to raise military salaries, and he really hadn't seen how real tomb robbers robbed tombs. As for whether Cao Mengde has done such a bad thing in history, only Chen Lin said this in the crusade against him, and the person surnamed Cao was scared into a cold sweat, and his headache and illness were cured, it seems that there is really something to do.

At this time, the two tomb robbers had already taken off their masks, Wang Mengxiong looked at it secretly, and four words appeared in his mind, "thief's eyebrows and rat eyes". Sure enough, they are born from the heart, and things gather like each other. It's no wonder they have to do this kind of work with their faces, otherwise anyone who looks at these two faces will think that they won't do anything good.

The old tomb robber was very skilled in his business, and it didn't take long to dig a deep hole. It's just that this thief hole is obviously tailor-made for their uncle and nephew, except for thin people like them, others can't even enter.

Soon, several tomb bricks were roped up from the bottom of the cave, and the young tomb robbers apparently knew what was going on, and significantly sped up the transportation of earthwork debris. After a while, the old man climbed up with a rope and took a big gulp of the fresh air outside.

"Uncle, have you opened the tomb?"

"Well, it took a bit of effort, but I finally made an opening under the side. When the filth of the area has cleared, you can go down to the burial chamber. ”

After about half an hour, the old man took out another cooing thing from his baggage, tied his legs and feet with a rope and put it down. Wang Mengxiong observed for a long time, only to find out that it was actually a pigeon. Unexpectedly, the two tomb robbers were quite well prepared, and it seemed that they were planning to let the pigeons explore the way first, to test whether the filth below was dissipated.

In a moment the old grave robber pulled the rope up, and the pigeon was dragged up alive. The old man said with satisfaction: "Everyone else uses live roosters, but that thing is too big and too vigorous, and it is not as good as this pigeon." It seems that there is no danger down there, so I'll go down now! ”

Presumably, the two of them had already had a division of labor, so the nephew had no objection, and honestly stood at the entrance of the cave outside, waiting for the signal below. Just as he was waiting for a long time, there was a gust of wind in the back of his head. A delicate palm sliced heavily into the back of his neck, knocking him unconscious.

This thief hole can't be entered by others, but it is more than enough for Wang Mengxiong. After cleaning up the nephew outside, he followed the rope down without hesitation, and soon entered the tomb from the top of the tomb. From here, there is a dark corridor. Although it was five or six meters underground, it was not as cold and damp as expected, but very dry, and there was a smell of incense in the air.

About ten meters or so in the dark, a corner appeared. There was a faint light coming through, and there was a long black shadow on the wall. Wang Mengxiong tiptoed over, and when he turned the corner, he saw the old tomb robber trying to pry a sarcophagus. An oil lamp was placed at the entrance to the tomb, an incense burner with half of the incense burnt was inserted, and a bulging bag was piled up at the old man's feet.

When the old man heard the footsteps behind him, he said without looking back, "You kid, didn't you not let you come down and put the wind on it?" But since you're here, come and help! I have encountered coffins made of wood before, and the first time I touched a sarcophagus, it seems that the good things in this are no less than these things that accompany the burial outside! ”

The old man sighed, but he didn't hear an answer. With his understanding of his nephew, he knew that it was wrong, and hurriedly jumped forward with a short body. Wang Mengxiong thought that a hand knife that was nine out of ten was actually avoided by this old guy and narrowly.

The old man jumped up from the ground with a harrier, turned around and asked, "May I ask which way you are walking, why do you bother to do this?" It's not good for us to make money together......"

Before he could say the last word, he swallowed it back. Because of the oil lamp, and the light gathered in the small tomb, he quickly saw that it was not a fellow gold toucher, but a child who looked like a seven or eight year old.

"Little doll, how bold are you? Where are your adults? Why don't you come out and see it? ”

A seven- or eight-year-old child is not enough to make the old man nervous, he is afraid of the adults who bring the child in. Needless to say, his nephew must have fallen into the hands of the other party, and he also planned to take down the little kid in exchange for that stupid nephew.

Wang Mengxiong scolded secretly, not only for the good luck of this old guy, but also for his suspicious words.

The old man talked for a long time, and when he saw that no one responded, he listened attentively, and there was no movement outside, so he focused his attention on Wang Mengxiong, and asked half-convinced: "Are you alone?" ”

"Yes, although it's just me, it's enough to clean up you, the bad guy who digs the grave of the mound!"

Wang Mengxiong's self-confidence comes from his uninterrupted hard work over the years, and even more so because of the old guy's thin and withered appearance, which makes him completely relaxed. Even Master Li Chengyue warned him not to attack ordinary people easily, it is easy to kill people and cause trouble. But that means to ordinary people, for this kind of tomb robber, they deserve to be killed!
