157 The Ancient Tomb in the Tanuki Forest

In order to investigate the inexplicable disappearance of his two brothers, Ah Dong and Ah Cheng, Brother Xiong personally went to Dawangling in Lexi County and found a local guide, Fu Yacang. After negotiating the price, Fu Yapao took them into the mountains to the Tanuki Forest early the next morning.

In order to make more money, Fu Yapao was very motivated, and he refused to rest much along the way, and kept urging Brother Xiong and the three of them to leave quickly. Although Brother Xiong's feet were sour, after all, this trip was related to the lives of his two brothers and a big tomb, so he had no choice but to hold on. The two horses saw that the boss was running in a sullen voice, and they didn't dare to cry tired, so they gritted their teeth and followed.

From sunrise to mid-day, the four of them finally walked to the Tanuki Forest. The forest is quite large, stretching for more than ten miles, if you go around stupidly like just now, it is estimated that the big guys will have to lie down. But Brother Xiong is not in vain, he stood on a high place and took in the terrain of the raccoon forest, and he had a plan in his heart.

Fu Yacang very attentively loaded his ** gun with ammunition and handed it to Brother Xiong, and pointed to the nearest tree and said, "Na! Boss, there's a civet in that tree! ”

Brother Xiong naturally didn't really come here to fight the raccoon, so he deliberately aimed at the attack. There was a loud "bang", and the raccoon dog was so frightened that it jumped away and hid in the bushes and disappeared.

Fu Yapao saw that Brother Xiong's marksmanship was so poor, and he had to come up again to teach him to aim. Brother Xiong pushed him away and said, "You don't need to teach me, you just help me find a raccoon!" With that, he himself took his gun and walked to the north of the raccoon forest.

Fu Yapao saw that the boss was going that way, so he had to run to the front to lead the way to find the raccoon. Brother Xiong's shot just now not only scared away the raccoon, but also the rabbits and pheasants scared away a lot. Fu Yapao searched for a long distance before finally finding a raccoon dog lying on a tree branch.

Brother Xiong picked up the gun and hit it randomly, and the raccoon ran away again. Fu Yapao was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks, and complained in his heart: "This boss's marksmanship is too bad, that ** gun is filled with iron powder, and it will be a big piece when it is shot!" The raccoon dog was only less than ten meters away from him, and this couldn't hit? ”

But the boss is the boss, Fu Yacang didn't dare to say what he complained, so he could only continue to look for it. In this way, Brother Xiong deliberately missed all the way, and brought the team all the way to the north of the Tanuki Forest. There was a small hill with trees that were noticeably much shorter and sparser than those elsewhere, and the ground was mostly overgrown with weeds.

Brother Xiong threw the ** gun back to Fu Yacang, took out a cigarette and a lighter, and said, "I'm tired, rest here for a while, you take Ah Hui to fight!" ”

Ah Hui is one of his horses, small but smart. As soon as he heard the boss say this, he knew what to do. He took the ** gun reloaded by the Fuya cannon, and changed the direction to shoot the raccoon away from the hillside. Fu Ya Cannon naturally followed Ah Hui wherever the gun went, and after a while, he followed Ah Hui away.

Brother Xiong took a cigarette in his mouth and walked around the hillside first, and when he walked to the back of the slope, Huo Ran saw a black hole. The hole was only about eighty centimeters wide in diameter and went down at forty-five degrees, and was overgrown with weeds both outside and inside. Ordinary people may not know what kind of hole it is, but Brother Xiong has been in this business for more than 20 years, and at a glance, he knows that it is a robbery hole dug by tomb robbers, and it is an old robbery hole.

Brother Xiong glanced at the remaining horse boy Arwen. Ah Wen didn't need to ask at all, he consciously took out a mining lamp from his backpack, pulled out a folding shovel, and got into the thief hole without saying a word. Brother Xiong watched Ah Wen enter, so he threw away the cigarette butt in his hand, took out the miner's lamp and put it on, and followed him in.

The cave was not very long, and the location of the tomb door was found very accurately. Ah Wen and the others helped Brother Xiong up at the tomb gate, and then continued to explore the way ahead. The door of the tomb had long since been knocked down and fell into the tomb and cracked in two. Brother Xiong stopped Ah Wen, lowered his head and carefully studied the ornamentation on the tomb door.

Ordinary wild road tomb robbers don't know how to read this, as soon as they enter the tomb, they are engaged in violent destruction, except for some burial goods that can be taken away, tomb doors, tomb bricks, murals and steles are meaningless things for them. But in the eyes of an inverted bucket expert of the level of Brother Xiong, these things can really show the identity and status of the tomb owner.

Brother Xiong looked at it for a while, and he could basically determine in his heart that this tomb should be an ancient tomb in the late Ming Dynasty. He waved at Arwen and motioned for him to continue inside. Arwen was holding a folding shovel in his hand, and the miner's lamp above his head shone left and right with his vision, and he walked forward step by step very cautiously. The two brothers who had an accident before were also his good buddies, and they had more experience than him. It is very likely that something happened to them here, and Arwen naturally had to be vigilant.

After walking through the tomb road, we arrived at the middle room. The middle room is equivalent to the living room in the Yin House, the front is the back room, which is the place where the coffin of the tomb owner is placed, and to the left and right are the two ear rooms, which mainly place various burial goods. Occasionally, there will be a coffin with a burial chamber in the ear chamber, and the burial concubine or slave will lie inside.

Arwen stopped when he reached the middle room, and turned back to ask the boss for his opinion. Brother Xiong looked at the situation in three directions, there was no tomb door in the left and right ear chambers, and the tomb door in the back room was also knocked down. Brother Xiong pointed to the back room, which meant to let Ah Wen go straight to Huanglong. Arwen nodded, and headed into the backrooms again.

The Backrooms weren't necessarily much better than the front. Except for some rotten and dark strips of cloth scattered on the ground, only the large stone coffin remained, and not even the coffin board of the tomb owner remained.

"Those guys in front of you were changed careers from a moving company, right?" Arwen suddenly relaxed and sneered.

Brother Xiong didn't laugh, but he was still quite disappointed. He first looked at the surrounding tomb walls, and then looked up at the top of the tomb, but there were no murals. Finally, he took a closer look around the large stone coffin, and finally made some discoveries. The front of the stone coffin is engraved with a few small words: "Da Ming Zhong Su Bo".

These words confirm Brother Xiong's previous judgment, this is a tomb of the Ming Dynasty. Brother Xiong took Ah Wen to the left and right ear chambers to check again, and there were still a few rotten wood, rotten iron pieces, and a bunch of bones left there, but they didn't look like human bones. Brother Xiong is an old connoisseur, and at a glance he knows that it is some rotten, rusty and deformed weapons and the bones of a war horse.

According to these remaining burial objects, it is even clearer that the owner of the tomb was a general of the Ming Dynasty during his lifetime and was given the title of "Zhongsu Bo". However, this tomb has been robbed since at least the Qing Dynasty, and to this day, I don't know how many times it has been sifted back and forth by many groups of tomb robbers!

Brother Xiong went down to the tomb and walked around, but he found nothing, he thought to himself: It seems that my two brothers may not have encountered an accident here, but they still have to continue to investigate the neighborhood. Then he left the empty tomb with Arwen and returned to the surface. But as soon as they got out of the thief hole, they ran into Fu Ya Cannon running up the hill to find them, and happened to bump into their embarrassed appearance covered in dirt.

Ah Hui also hurriedly ran over, panting and said to Brother Xiong: "He insists on running back to find you by himself, I can't catch up with him!" ”

Fu Yapao frowned and shouted, "What are the two bosses doing here?" Do you want to dig up the ancestral graves in our village? ”

Brother Xiong sneered while patting the dirt off his body: "The ancestral grave of your village? Then tell me, which of your ancestors is buried in this grave? What is the last name? ”

Fu Yapao couldn't answer, but his mouth was still very hard, and he shouted: "It turns out that you pretended to be here to travel, but in fact you came to rob the tomb!" I'm going to report you at the police station! ”

Ah Wen stepped forward, grabbed Fu Yacang's collar, raised the folding shovel in his hand, and asked viciously: "If you have the guts, say it again!" ”

Brother Xiong stepped forward and patted Ah Wen's hand to let him go, and then said to Fu Yacannon: "There is nothing in this tomb, I guess you have also gone in to see it, right?" Let me ask you first, how many people came here to look for ancient tombs before? Has anyone paid you to show you the way? ”

Although Fu Ya's mouth is hard, it is actually a coward. Ah Wen and Brother Xiong sang black face and white face, and immediately stopped him. He replied honestly: "Usually there are a lot of tourists who really come to play, and occasionally there are only one or two like you, and I always bring them here." I've been playing in this grave since I was a child, and bringing them here is just to fool around and make a little money......"

"Did you bring two people like this a few days ago?" Brother Xiong roughly described the physiognomy of his two assistants to Fu Yacang, but Fu Yacang shook his head and said that he had not seen it. Brother Xiong didn't believe it, and Ah Wen made a gesture to intimidate Fu Yapao, and Fu Yacang was so frightened that he almost knelt down, but he still shook his head and said that he hadn't seen it.

Brother Xiong saw that he didn't seem to be acting, so he didn't press him anymore, but just confessed: "After you go back, you'd better control your mouth, otherwise you'll ......" He made a throat-cutting motion, and Fu Yapao was so frightened that he sat down on the ground again, and promised not to talk nonsense everywhere.

Brother Xiong looked at the sky, the sun was already in the west, so he asked Fu Yapao to lead the way back to the village. On the way back, Brother Xiong took his mobile phone every other way to set a spot, and also took a few topographic maps and made a mark on a few trees, so that he could find the direction next time.

Back in the village, Brother Xiong and his entourage did not choose to continue to live in Fu Yapao's house, but immediately drove away. They returned to a nearby town to find a guest house and stayed overnight, but the next day they were killed again, and drove straight into the mountains, leaving aside the Fu Ya cannon and driving directly into the mountains.
