Chapter 127_Recovery of Stolen Goods [I]

As soon as these words came out, the other nursing homes were in an uproar, Wu Dakui and Gao Xueling were also surprised, and even Li Qingshan was a little surprised.

The honest Kangtong was afraid that his younger brother would talk nonsense and cause trouble, so he hurriedly pulled the corner of his clothes and signaled him to be cautious in his words and deeds, but Kangda's expression was very sure: "Big brother, I have really seen dead ants, and it is really just like what Lord Li just said, not one, but a whole lot!" ”

"This big brother, have you really seen an anthill? It's in this yard, right? Li Qingshan glanced at Kang Da and immediately asked happily.

"What anthill?" Kangda was slightly stunned, "...... It's just a lot of dead ants, right? ”

"Yes, yes, where?" Li Qingshan hurriedly nodded and asked.

"It's over there." Kangda turned around, pointed to a locust tree in the southwest corner of the courtyard and said, "If I remember correctly, there should be a hole in the old locust tree, where the lowly ...... found dead ants."

Everyone immediately turned their heads to look over there, and there were indeed several locust trees over there, and after Li Qingshan asked which one it was, he strode straight over.

The locust tree is an auspicious tree in ancient China, the rich and noble families have planted more, the trunk of the locust tree in front of you is thick, the branches are dense and leafy, the green shade is like a cover, obviously it has been some years.

Li Qingshan knew that the more this kind of old locust tree, the easier it was to form tree holes. When I got closer, I saw a hole the size of a bowl at the waist of the trunk, which was black and seemed to be quite deep.

At first glance, there seems to be only dead leaves and broken branches in the cave, and there is even a broken spider web hanging from the cave entrance, but there is no dead ant in Kangda's mouth.

Everyone was already curious to follow at this time. Kangda had been yawning just now, looking sleepy-eyed, but at this moment he seemed to be in spirit, and he didn't seem to be sleepy, and rushed to the front, clapping his hands and saying "this is it" as soon as he approached, and then squatted down slightly, leaning against the trunk, and poked his right hand into the hole to grope for a while.

Gao Ji stared at Kangda with wide eyes, he had listened carefully just now, and Li Qingshan clearly talked about the ant mound or something, which suddenly aroused his curiosity again.

The rare incident of ants stealing silver before had already opened his eyes, but according to Li Qingshan's words, could it be that this little ant insect could still build a mound?

This is really incredible, if someone else says this, I am afraid that he will be scolded, but what Li Qingshan said, eighty percent is true.

Gao Xueling and Chen Ruolan were also surprised, for them, what they saw today was getting more and more bizarre. Only Gao Xueling's personal maid seemed to be very timid, and when she saw that the tree hole was black, there were still people who dared to reach into her hand, and she didn't know what she would take out later, thinking of this, she was a little scared for a while, and she didn't dare to look at it when she hid behind Gao Xueling.

Under the gaze of everyone, Kangda kept digging out of the hollow of the tree, and every handful he took out, he had to examine it carefully.

At first, it was nothing more than some dead branches and leaves, and when he got to the fourth handful, Kangda finally shouted excitedly: "Lord Li, are these these?" ”

As he spoke, he brushed away the dead leaves and broken branches in his hands one by one, leaving only a black mass in his palm.

Everyone looked at it, and the black thing was indeed a mass of ants!

It's just that these ants are motionless, densely huddled together, completely different from the vigorous little ones I saw just now, and have obviously been dead for a long time.

Gao Ji was the closest, and he could see it most clearly, and some of the ants had even become a little pale in color.

Li Qingshan also leaned over and fiddled with his hand, and nodded excitedly: "That's it!" ”

"There should be more than that," he asked, glancing at the hollow in the tree, "this brother, there must be something in there, right?" ”

"Yes, yes," Kangda nodded hurriedly, "Lord Li, it's deep inside!" ”

He seemed a little proud, found his brother in the crowd of onlookers, and asked with a smile: "Big brother, do you believe it now, how dare I talk nonsense about this kind of thing?" ”

Kang Tong was relieved to see that he had indeed found the dead ant, shook his head with a smile, and then asked him when he found out.

Conda explained as he reached into the hole and fumbled with it.

It turned out that one day about a month ago, he saw a tail sweep rat in the yard, and he wanted to catch it when his hands were itchy, but he didn't expect that the tail sweeper was extremely agile, jumping around in the tree, and couldn't catch it at all, but when he was arresting, he accidentally found this tree hole.

I thought it must have been hiding in this hollow, so I reached in and groped for a while, but I didn't expect to find an ant in my hand...... I was startled at the time, but I didn't pay attention to it afterwards, but when Lord Li said this just now, I suddenly remembered this matter again! ”

Only then did everyone suddenly realize, Li Qingshan also nodded, and asked about the appearance of the tail sweeping rat, and roughly sketched it in his heart, it should be a squirrel.

That Wu Dakui had already heard impatiently, and said loudly: "No, Lord Li, I just heard you say that you were looking for stolen goods, why did you talk nonsense, and what dead ants did you want?" ”

He saw that everyone's attention was focused on the tree hole and the dead ants, and he was a little worried that they had forgotten about Li Qingshan's search for stolen goods, so he reminded them out loud.

Li Qingshan smiled and said: "Wuhuyuan, don't worry first, the ant mound has been found, will the stolen goods be far away?" I'll be convinced later! ”

After he said that, he turned his head and asked Gao Ji: "Lord Gao, there is a stove in the house, can you help me get one?" ”

"Stove?" Gao Ji was stunned for a moment, but he didn't say a word and immediately asked Kangtong to fetch it.

After the incident of the dead ants, Kangtong doesn't seem to be sleepy now, and he runs away with a promise in his mouth.

Although Wu Dakui was anxious to see Li Qingshan in trouble, Gao Ji was not in a hurry, and he didn't want to urge anything, so he had to fork his hands again, stand aside and watch coldly, but to see how this kid could recover the stolen goods!

In his opinion, this matter is absolutely impossible at all, and since the silver has been eaten by the ants, how can he recover it?

I'm afraid that only a tall man would be blind enough to believe in this kind of fantasy, right?

Gao Ji seemed to be more interested in the matter of the ant building a mound, and since just now he had been lying on the edge of the tree hole and watching, looking at his appearance, it seemed that he wanted to go up and dig it out himself.

Although he was also curious about the stove, he was obviously more concerned about this tree hole at the moment, and after watching for a while, he finally turned his head and asked Li Qingshan: "Lord Li, according to this view, this tree hole must be the ant mound you said, right?" ”

"You can also say that," Li Qingshan smiled, and then remembered that the ant mound in the later generations didn't seem to mean that, "I just said it casually, there must be a name......

Gao Ji praised the apt name.

In later generations, the term ant mound was actually used more to refer to the nest of soil-dwelling ants. But in ancient times, the word "mound" basically referred to a tomb.

As they spoke, everyone was stunned, for Conda had already pulled out several handfuls of ants one after another. When I dig it up again, there are very few dead leaves or something, and almost every time I reach in, I can take out a handful full of ants.

The other nurses thought he was slow to dig, so they simply found some shovels and other tools, and stepped forward to help. There was a lot of strength in the crowd, and after a while, the hole in the tree was finally hollowed out.
