Chapter 18 Digging the Grave
My dog and I still live in a dilapidated house three miles east of the school, and the old lady, who is in her sixties, usually kicks open our door early in the morning on weekends and yells, "Bah! Babble, babble...... Two turtle sons, get up quickly! Come with me to the square and practice. ”
It was not yet six o'clock in the morning, and for me and Gouer, the rays of the rising sun shone in through the bare glass window, and this time was the best time for Huangliang to dream, my dreams were few, but they were very uniform. Dog Er is completely different, he belongs to the kind of person who dreams about what he sees, the night after I went to sell Ding, Dog Er had a dream that leaked the heavens, at one o'clock in the middle of the night, I was still reading a novel, Dog Er was snoring and drooling and was asleep, this grandson suddenly dreamed: "Three million, not one less son, this is the true work of Tang Bohu during the Tang and Song dynasties, this is much more awesome than the Qingming Shanghe Tu." ”
I was scared into a cold sweat by the dog, he almost said what was going on with the seller, and I wanted to shove the socks I threw on the ground into his mouth to block his dream and the saliva that flowed from the corners of his mouth.
Dog Er occasionally stretched a lazy waist when he woke up and said: "The big dream is like waking up at the beginning, and the spring dream does not leave a trace!" ”
As the saying goes, the merry man stays fragrant everywhere, and the obscene man is obscene everywhere!
The landlady said that she occasionally got a book of qigong cheats, and she wanted to practice at night, and forced me and Gou Er to go to the forest to practice with her every weekend morning, to be honest, I am not interested in qigong, and can I use qi to knock people down? I don't believe it. I generally rely on my fists to control violence, and the world's martial arts are only fast and unbreakable, I believe this.
The landlady asked me to stand in front of her, and I was wearing only a pair of pants. The landlady said, "Don't move. ”
I stood still, and the landlady closed her eyes, and her arms shook in the air like playing mahjong cards, and then she slapped me twice, and after a few seconds, she opened her eyes and asked me, "How is it?" Do you feel like I'm giving you luck? In order not to embarrass her, I fooled her and said, "I feel it, it's so big, it's almost time to get through my second vein." ”
The landlady said with satisfaction: "Very good, get dressed and follow me outside to practice." ”
I prefer to sleep in bed rather than practice qigong, but when the landlady pierced the map I was hanging in the house with a sword, I had to get up and go with her to learn the so-called qigong.
On the way back from practicing qigong, the old lady said to me: "Recently, I have seen a few sneaky people hanging outside the front door of our house. ”
I thought it was probably the people of the steel needle or the beam that I had formed to stop the school violence, so I said: "I had a few fights at school, I guess it was them." ”
"Then you should also be careful, and you must practice qigong more to defend yourself."
I nodded in agreement and didn't think much more.
After a few days, he still drove his rotten Xiali, with a sheet on the back seat, and slippers and toilet paper and other messy things in the car. The mustache was still the norm, squinting in the sun, in the shade of the house, and later I found out that he was not squinting, but thin-eyed, an eye often described in the Three Kingdoms.
Cao Cao, seven feet long, with thin eyes and long hair......
It's a pity that the mustache is only five feet long, with no face like a crown of jade, no lip grease, no long hair under the thin eyes, only a neatly trimmed mustache. However, the fact that the eight-character Hu occupies Cao Cao's face is enough to prove that this person is superior and very shrewd. Through the eyes and fingers of the mustache, I knew that he was not just a copper coin seller like most of the stall owners on the antique street.
There is still a person sitting in the rotten Xiali car with a mustache, not Dong Chou, let alone Suppression, it is impossible for Dong Chou and Suppression to sit on his rotten Xiali, maybe there will be a pushpin on the seat that pierces your ass.
In the car sat a red-haired woman about thirty-five or sixteen years old, plump and with misty eyes.
Bazi asked me, "How are you doing?" ”
I replied, "Yes! ”
He sat on the bed of the second dog and continued: "I haven't seen you go to the antique street for a while, how is it? Don't have a good object? ”
I shook my head and said, "That's just that, there's more." ”
Bazihu sighed, and tethered the car keys in his hand, the car keys to something made of sandalwood.
I saw that his face was sad, and I said, "What? Is business bad? ”
Bazi Hu sighed and said: "My father is seriously ill, bedridden for many years, has been living in the hospital, the cost is huge, my father is the only son, I can't live without filial piety, life is forced, I have to rob a few ordinary small tombs, alas! Then he stood up and turned his back to me, as if tears were in his eyes.
I chuckled.
The mustache turned to me and asked, "Brother, why are you laughing?" ”
I said, "I laugh at you for making me young." ”
The mustache's eyes opened slightly, and I saw his eyes clearly, his eyes were extremely clear, black and white, and not full of turbidity like ordinary middle-aged people. He said: "My father is in the hospital right now, and my brother can come with me if he doesn't believe me." ”
I hurriedly said, "Excuse me, then, the lady in your car was stolen by you from the tomb?" ”
Bazi Hu Ya smiled and said: "I won't tell you, a good match, many years ago her husband treacherously abandoned her, her husband's family is quite wealthy, but a few years ago suddenly died in the bathing center, legend has it that the bathing center often kills, because the bathing center is built in a place of extreme yin, over time, the yin condenses, and the men who often go in and out of the place are exhausted by yang, and then die violently. ”
I looked at Dog Er, and we both wanted to laugh out loud, but I didn't hold back and laughed.
"Aren't you tomb robbers so superstitious? It's boring. ”
Bazihu made a gesture, meaning to let the two of us whisper, his mysterious look, I couldn't help but believe a little, he whispered: "After the man died, the family buried him, and through the channel he found a girl who died of illness at the age of eighteen, in order to become a ghost marriage, buried together in Jiulonggang, I heard that Jiulonggang is a feng shui treasure, was bought by this family." ”
I spread out my hand and said, "What does it matter?" ”
Bazihu nodded at the Xiali car outside the window with his chin and said, "She has always held a grudge against her treacherous husband, so she found me and asked me to help her dig up her ex-husband's grave and steal the girl's body." ”
I said, "And then?" ”
"Then sprinkle white lime on his grave, so that he may never be reborn, and my reward will be the burial goods in the tomb."
"So vicious!"
"Vicious? Compared to his abandonment of his wife and children, what kind of viciousness is this? ”
I lay on the bed and said, "What does it have to do with me? ”
"I've come to you for two purposes, one is to see if you have any treasures lately. The second is that I want you to help me, how about we split it fifty-fifty after the deed? ”
A picture immediately came to my mind, on a stormy dark night, I was digging a hole in the muddy earth on the hilltop of Kowloon Gang with a shovel, digging slowly, and behind me was the plump woman, holding a black umbrella, her red hair reflected red in the lightning and thunder...... After digging up the grave, the long-haired woman with the red hair showed her hideous face and pushed all three of us down, and the three of us could not climb up even if we tried hard, because the grave was too slippery, and gradually the muddy water filled the tomb......
Thinking of this, I quickly rejected the mustache: "I will naturally go to you if I have a treasure, but I will never dig other people's graves, I tremble when I see the coffin, you have to go as you please." ”
Bazi Hu said: "Although you are young, I think you are an extraordinary person, so I want to get your help, and if you can get that Fang Ding, it means that you must have something extraordinary." ”
"I won't go if I can't pass people, you go by yourself, don't persuade me again."
Seeing that the persuasion was ineffective, he looked at Gou Er and said: "Okay, since the little brother is unwilling to be with me, then I will go by myself, alas, my father is seriously ill......" He said and was about to leave.
I took out a shoebox from under the bed and handed it to the mustache.
"Although your line is not very glorious, but I want Cao Cao to rob the tomb back then, and I admire your filial piety very much, as the saying goes, there is no filial son in front of the bed for a long time, and there are not many filial sons like you."
In the shoebox was the 50,000 yuan I withdrew from the bank, and I was going to buy a motorcycle with Gouer, and now I am giving it to the mustache because I am moved by compassion.
"Charles......" Dog Er stopped talking, I knew he wanted to stop me from giving the money to the mustache.
"Take it, it's not easy to rob tombs, and steal and cherish them!" I pushed the shoebox into my arms.
The mustache's lips trembled a little, he caught the shoebox, and without saying a word, dragged his heavy body on the Xiali car, and the Xiali car was like a sick old man, snorting a few times and then emitting a puff of laborious black smoke and leaving!
I know that sometimes not speaking is worth a thousand words, and I think of my father, Xia Dahai, the pig herding supervisor for a while!
