Volume 2 The South Xinjiang Strange Mounds Chapter 4 "Pit Planing"
In the third year of the Republic of China, outside Libo County, Qiannan
In the middle of the night, there was no light in the sky. Walking into the quiet deep forest, you can't see your fingers, only the leaves gently chirp in the breeze, and the occasional insect chirp from the depths of the grass.
In the depths of the forest, a little light came out through the grass and trees, accompanied by a few unusual sounds of moving, which made people feel frightened in the middle of the night. After a while, a voice came from inside: "Second uncle, what are we doing in Guizhou?" ”
"It's superfluous to see you ask! What can be done? It's not about digging a pit (tomb robbery)! Another young voice said.
"Even if we flip it, how much should we flip it at the door of our house? There are a lot of pits there, so why go all the way here to suffer? The former voice muttered dissatisfiedly.
"If you want to do it, you will do it, where is so much nonsense!" The other said impatiently.
"Daguang, in fact, what the second son said also makes sense!" An old man said, "There are a lot of graves in our house, and we can't afford to come here." ”
The three of them, one old and two young, sat on one side, watching the two young men digging there with hoes, an oil lamp next to them, and some tools scattered behind. The old man's name is Yang Nantian, who was a famous tomb robber in the early years of the Republic of China, and the two young men are his two nephews, the eldest is called Yang Daguang, and the second son is called Yang Erguang.
"But here we are!" Yang Erguang said.
"Yes, we're here anyway!" Yang Nantian said, "You also know that the two people who are the most powerful in our business at the moment are the northern thief and the southern thief, the southern thief refers to your second uncle and me, and the northern thief is Liu Dilong from Luoyang, Henan." Although the two of us have not officially fought or met for many years, people in this industry have always compared the two of us to each other......"
"Could it be that Liu Dilong did a big job, so the second uncle thought about finding a big pit to dig into?" Yang Daguang asked.
Yang Nantian was silent for a while, and only after a while did he say, "No, Liu Dilong is dead!" ”
"Dead?" Yang Erguang shouted, and said with a happy face: "Second uncle, that's not good?" In the future, in the pit digging industry, your old man will never find an opponent again! ”
Yang Daguang was much calmer than Yang Erguang, so he asked Yang Nantian: "Second uncle, how did Liu Dilong die?" ”
Yang Nantian sighed and said, "I often walk by the river, how can I not get my shoes wet!" Naturally, he died in the tomb! ”
Yang Erguang gloated: "This time he is an old horse who has lost his head!" ”
"Smack"
"Oops!" Yang Erguang was hit the head by Yang Nantian, and he squatted on the ground holding his head in pain, "Second uncle, why are you always beating me?" ”
"Liu Dilong, no matter how he says, is also a rare outstanding person in our industry, he is dead, how can he still say that?" Yang Nantian reprimanded him with some unhappiness.
Yang Daguang said repeatedly: "Yes, yes, what the second uncle said is ...... Second uncle, you said that Liu Dilong died when he turned the meat dumplings, so where did he dig the pit? ”
Yang Nantian lit a cigarette, took a big puff, pointed to his feet and said, "This is here!" ”
"Huh? This...... ...... here" Yang Erguang stopped covering his head, and stood up in surprise and asked.
Yang Nantian sneered: "What? Scared? ”
"Afraid? Who...... Who's scared...... Yes...... With the second uncle here, can I be afraid? Yang Erguang was stubborn, but he could already hear timidity in his stammering tone.
Yang Nantian smiled: "Don't worry, even if you go down, I will go there myself." I'm not going to let you two juniors take this risk for me. If the two of you make a mistake, how can I explain it to my dead brother? ”
Yang Erguang leaned over to Yang Nantian and asked, "Second uncle, since this place is so powerful, why should your old man take this risk?" There are many ancient tombs in the world, so why bother staring at this one? ”
Yang Nantian squinted at Yang Daguang: "Boss, what do you say?" ”
Yang Daguang is not as tiger as his younger brother, he is a thoughtful person. He thought for a while and said, "Where the northern thieves are broken, if the southern thieves are allowed to do it, doesn't this prove that the southern thieves' methods are higher than those of the northern thieves?" The second uncle wants to take this opportunity to show all his peers that you are stronger than Liu Dilong! ”
Yang Nantian stroked his goatee and smiled: "The boss's brain melon seeds are good." But that's just one of them. ”
"And what about the second one?" Yang Daguang asked.
Yang Nantian said: "Second, although I haven't seen Liu Dilong, I have also indirectly fought for reputation for many years. He's dead now, and I feel sorry for him......"
"Second uncle, you don't want to fulfill his unfulfilled wish for Liu Dilong, right?" Yang Erguang interjected and said.
Yang Nantian said: "I haven't been so kind to fulfill his wish for him!" It's just that Liu Dilong, who has turned over the meat dumplings for so many years, can be said to have experienced a hundred battles, and he will be left here...... I was curious to see what kind of pit it it was, and I could leave Liu Dilong, who was known as the 'Drill Dragon', behind. ”
"Look, look, big brother, second uncle is called a real master!" Yang Erguang praised Yang Daguang, "The more difficult the bones to gnaw, the more interested you are to gnaw on them, this is the demeanor of a master." Yang Nantian listened to what Yang Erguang said earlier, and smiled very much, but when he heard the latter sentence, his face immediately fell.
Yang Daguang rebuked him and said, "Can you speak? What do you mean by 'the harder the bone, the more you have to gnaw it'? You're not scolding the second uncle...... It should be said that only real masters dare to challenge hardships! Isn't it, second uncle? ”
Yang Nantian nodded, and his face eased slightly.
"Second uncle, what do you say is under here? Is it worth Liu Dilong not even want his life, do you have to risk going in? Yang Daguang asked.
Yang Nantian said four words: "Rich rivals the country!" ”
"Rich enough to rival the country?" As soon as the two Yang brothers heard this word, their eyes lit up.
Yang Nantian said: "Yes, the wealth is rivaled by the country!" If this deal is done, don't talk about me, even you and your children and grandchildren don't have to work anymore for a few lifetimes, you just need to lie comfortably on the bed and someone will come to serve you, and when the time comes, high-rise buildings, big fish and meat, brocade clothes and jade food, not to mention, three wives and four concubines, ring fat and thin are not as you like......" said the uncle and nephew laughed.
"Where are three wives and four concubines, if I have money, I will marry her ten or twenty wives, and when the time comes, I can play as much as I want!" Yang Erguang showed a lewd smile, some saliva still flowed from the corners of his mouth, and he didn't know what dirty things he was thinking about in his head.
