Chapter 128_Recovery of Stolen Goods [II]

Looking at the pile of ant corpses on the ground, everyone was a little surprised, they obviously didn't expect that the "big pile" that Li Qingshan said was really a big pile, even the Wu Dakui who was trying to make things difficult felt a little incredible. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Ling'er, you've always liked to hunt for curiosities, and you must have been addicted to it today, right?" Gao Ji exhaled and asked with a smile.

His baby daughter likes to read some strange "strange books" on weekdays, and the first few times Gao Ji told her about those ladybugs, crocodiles, and other things, although she also thought it was novel and funny, but after all, she didn't see it with her own eyes, so it was over to listen. But today, she witnessed these things from the beginning, so she should be even more shocked.

"Father, what is the matter of the day...... It was really an eye-opener for my daughter. Gao Xueling had already been stunned, and when she heard him ask, she came to her senses and nodded lightly.

"My father had only heard of the fox dead head mound and the ant building a mound before...... Who would have thought if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes? Gao Ji sighed.

Gao Xueling seemed to remember something, "My daughter has read about Elephant Mound in an ancient book." ”

"Oh?" Gao Ji was a little curious, "What is the elephant mound?" ”

Li Qingshan obviously heard the conversation between them as well, stood up and explained with a smile: "Lord Gao, the elephant mound is the elephant's tomb. It is said that when each elephant has a premonition that his time is numbered, he will leave the herd and walk alone to a mysterious elephant mound, quietly waiting for the end of his life. ”

"How can there be such a thing?" Gao Ji was more and more surprised.

Gao Xueling didn't seem to expect that Li Qingshan actually knew what Xiang Tsuka said, so he nodded at Gao Ji and said, "Father, I used to think that this was nonsense at all, because no one had really seen this elephant mound at all. But today, when I saw the anthill with my own eyes, I realized that I was ...... It seems that the gaze is a little short-sighted......"

Speaking of this, the girl sighed softly, and her eyes inadvertently swept over the young man in front of her.

Although Chen Ruolan was silent next to her, she nodded silently, because she deeply sympathized with Gao Xueling's words. With Li Qingshan, she always felt that her imagination was not enough, and those things that seemed to him to be accustomed to always shocked her again and again, and even slowly changed her view of the world.

Gao Ji suddenly laughed, and said funny, "...... Elephants are huge, but ants are so small that people can hardly feel them, this big and small two animals, I didn't expect to be able to build a grave, it's really interesting! ”

In fact, Li Qingshan also has some admiration for Gao Xueling, this woman is really well-read and strong, and even Xiangzuka knows it.

The legend of the elephant mound has a long history, because people have never found any elephants that died naturally in the wild, so it can only be explained by the theory of the elephant mound. It's just that legends are legends after all, and people have not been able to confirm the existence of elephant mounds.

"Miss Gao is a learned person, and she admires her very much, but this ant mound is very different from the elephant mound. The elephant mound is ethereal and no one has ever seen it, but these ants were indeed moved here by their companions after death, and I am completely sure of this......"

"Li Gongzi, in fact, I was about to ask, since you know the existence of this ant mound, you must also know how it was formed, right? Do ants really know how to bury their dead companions, just like the rest of the world? Gao Xueling blinked a pair of clear and watery eyes, and it was difficult to hide the anticipation in her eyes.

She is studious by nature, she reads a lot of books, although she has lived in the boudoir for a long time, she is full of curiosity about everything in this world, and the more books she reads, the more she feels ignorant, so these strange things have a strong attraction to her.

And Li Qingshan prefers to be like a master of this aspect. Although she had never seen him before today, she had heard of his deeds for a long time, so she had long wanted to know him.

The young man in front of him smiled and nodded: "Miss Gao, you guessed right, these little guys do bury their companions purposefully, and they will, in fact, far more than that!" ”

There was so much to say about the amazing creature of ants, and he was about to elaborate, but Kangtong had already gone and returned, and brought a small red clay stove with another servant.

Li Qingshan's face was overjoyed, and he immediately said to Gao Xueling: "Miss Gao, let's do the right thing first, and I'll talk about these things in detail later, otherwise I'm afraid that the Wuhu Academy will be in a hurry." ”

Although Gao Xueling was infinitely curious, she had no choice but to press it down for the time being, and looked at the furnace with wide eyes.

There were still residual embers in the furnace, and the red-hot charcoal fire was faintly visible, Li Qingshan casually picked up some dry branches and leaves on the ground, threw them into the furnace and blew them a few times, and after a while, a fire was lit.

After finishing the fire first, the young man picked up a shovel on the ground, shoveled a handful full of dead ants, and when he raised his hand, he actually poured them all into the furnace.

What is this for? Everyone was puzzled, and wanted to take a closer look, but they felt that the heat wave was hitting people.

Those ants had been dead for a long time, the water in their bodies had evaporated, and they were extremely dry, and when they encountered an open flame, they quickly ignited, sizzling, and bursts of white smoke came out, and several nurses standing downwind coughed and fled.

"Don't just stand still, come and help!" Gao Ji waved at the courtyards and said.

Although he didn't know why Li Qingshan wanted to burn these ants, he also knew that he must have a deep meaning in doing so, and when he saw that there were two shovels on the ground, he also picked up one and helped shovel the ants.

Although everyone was curious, they did not speak, only occasionally coughing at the white smoke.

Wu Dakui estimated that he had committed something wrong today, and he was so smoked that he changed his position, but the wind direction was immediately changed, and he was caught off guard, and he was immediately smoked into tears.

"Lord Li, what are you going to do? Didn't you say you were looking for stolen goods? Wu Dakui complained, and the look on his face was almost crying—no, he was already crying, and he was smoked into tears.

"Martial Guard, aren't I looking for stolen goods for you?"

Seeing his declining appearance, Li Qingshan also wanted to laugh a little, but there was no ambiguity in his hand, he took the dead branches picked up by the nurses one after another, and threw them all into the furnace, leaving only a thicker one as a burning stick, and kept stirring the charcoal fire at the bottom of the furnace to make the furnace fire burn more vigorously.

The dead ants, which were already extremely dry, burned faster, and in a short time all the ants on the ground had been burned and turned to ashes in the furnace. Only then did Li Qingshan stop throwing dead branches into it, and the fire in the furnace finally slowly extinguished.

Wu Dakui had already endured it for a long time, but now he couldn't hold it anymore, wiped his tears, and finally urged again: "Lord Li, the ants have all been burned, what about the stolen goods?" ”

Li Qingshan glanced at him with a smile, but didn't answer, just made a gesture to signal everyone to step back. When they were all almost gone, they flew up and kicked the stove.

The furnace fell in response, and the ashes of the furnace poured out and poured all over the ground, but fortunately there was no wind at this time, otherwise they would have smoked the people to ashes.

I'll it, what are you doing here, and there's no end? Wu Dakui suddenly had a black line on his head, and shouted loudly: "Lord Li, what do you want—"

The words he was halfway through suddenly stopped abruptly, and the expression on his face instantly froze, as if someone had suddenly pressed the pause button.

Because he saw a stream of water!

To be exact, a steaming, silvery-white stream of water mixed with ashes and stumps was slowly flowing out of the fallen furnace.

What's going on?

How can there be a flow of water in a furnace?

And looking at the color and flow rate, it obviously doesn't look like water.

Everyone was a little stunned, and they didn't know who shouted: "Is this silver water?" ”

Chen Ruolan, who had not spoken just now, had beautiful eyes lit up, and finally reacted: "This is stolen silver...... Lord Gao, this is stolen silver! (To be continued.) )
