The Scourge of Witchcraft Chapter 12 Stone Grave
The next morning, Huang Dawei drove a van to the hotel where we were staying, and I thought to myself that it would be better to save us the trouble of finding a car.
After a little preparation, we threw our backpacks on the back seat of the van, and then I sat in the co-pilot, Qiu Yan sat in the back, and set off towards Wangzhuang Village.
Taikang County is located in the plain area, compared to the south, the road here is much smoother, and the view is also wide, so sitting in the car to enjoy the rural scenery completely different from the south, but also have a special fun.
Uncle Dawei said that although there are many historical celebrities in Taikang County, there are not many people who come here to travel, and he said that people nowadays like to go to those man-made scenic spots, but they are not interested in Taikang County, a real historical ancient city.
I was a little indignant when I heard Uncle Dawei's tone, so I smiled and said, "If no one comes, no one comes, and it is still clean." ”
Uncle David turned his head to look at me and said: "You don't understand this, no one will develop if no one comes, no one will develop, no one will develop, there will be a lot less economic far, our county has only been out of poverty for a long time, and it is the time when investment is needed." ”
I said in my heart where is this, is there such a connection between this investment and poverty alleviation for a long time?
"Uncle Dawei, you still tell us about the Huang family, your family has been living here, you must have heard some things, right!" I quickly changed the subject.
When Uncle David heard this, he immediately became interested, he moved his butt on the chair, and said, "Don't say it, although our Huang family only has such a celebrity here, there are too many things to say." ”
"After Huang Ba became an adult, he wanted to be an official, and then he donated an official and went out from here, and their family naturally had nothing to say.
However, it is said that Huang Ba's two uncles are quite mysterious, especially Huang Cai, I heard that he is a Taoist priest in Maoshan, and he is very interested in yin and yang gossip, and the most bizarre statement is that Huang Cai can turn dead people into zombies, and he can do whatever he wants zombies. ”
I couldn't help but think it was funny, so I quipped, "Isn't this the corpse chaser?" ”
"Yes, yes, the corpse chaser, some people say that he is the corpse chaser, don't you think this is nonsense?"
"Hehe, Uncle Dawei, this is not good, our ancestors will have a lot of things, we don't know it's just that it hasn't been handed down."
"I just don't believe it, this man is rotten and rotten when he dies, and he has become fertilizer, where can he be resurrected?"
"That's far away, let's go back to the Huang family, the ancestral grave you said, is it possible for Huang Cai to be buried there?" I continued.
Uncle Dawei shook his head, "This is not good, because no one knows where the Huang family lived back then, and the ancestral tomb of the Huang family is also what I heard from other people's mouths, whether it is the ancestral tomb of the Huang family is doubtful, I said little nephew, since you have brought your girlfriend out to play, you can really hope to find the ancestral tomb of the Huang family?" ”
I thought to myself that although this person was also from the Huang family, it was better not to let him know about the matter between me and Qiu Yan, so I shut up and didn't talk about it.
On the way, we pulled some other things, and it didn't take long for me to see the car drive into a village road, and next to the village road stood a huge strange stone, on which the words "Wangzhuang Village" were written.
When I saw it, the village was not like the wilderness I had imagined, but a lively village full of people, and the village was surrounded by large tracts of cultivated land, which did not look like there were ancient tombs at all.
But the strange thing is that Uncle David did not stop after driving the car into the village, but continued to drive deeper into the village.
"Uncle Dawei, where is this ancestral tomb, I don't think the landform here looks like there is an ancient tomb."
Uncle Dawei pouted at the front and said, "I don't see the mountain in front of you, that's it!" ”
Mountain? I was stunned for a moment, since the car drove into the village road, I have been observing the surrounding landscape, and it is now noon, the sun is shining, if there were mountains, I should have seen it a long time ago.
I looked in the direction pointed by Uncle David for a long time, and finally understood that the mountain he was talking about was nothing more than a raised hill not far ahead.
The hill is not very high, at most a few tens of meters, but there are many trees on the hill, and these trees are connected with the trees on both sides of the village road, and at first glance, it looks like a large forest.
At the foot of the hill there was a small stream that stretched behind us along the village road, and beside the stream were a number of irrigation canals dug out, which stretched straight into the distance, and together with the ridges, divided the cultivated land around the village into square dark green fields.
As I drove up the hill, I saw that the terrain behind the hill was starting to get higher, and behind the hill there were more and more higher hills overlapping in the distance, and the stream next to the hill was also flowing from the distance over there.
However, the car still did not stop and continued to drive forward.
Not long after leaving the hill, the village road came to an end, Uncle David turned the steering wheel, and took us into a machine farming road, along which the machine farming road drove for more than ten minutes before the car finally stopped.
The parking place is so far away from the village that it is almost invisible, and the terrain here is much more complex than near the village, and the mountains are significantly higher.
The creek was gone, and there was no water source nearby.
I asked Uncle Dawei, "Is the ancient tomb here?" ”
Uncle David hid behind the car and peed, and said, "Just behind here, you have to walk dozens of meters!" ”
After peeing, Uncle David took us off the plow and walked straight into the weedy hillside.
I'm a little puzzled, how did Uncle David know in such a remote place, could he be lying to us!
I just wanted to ask, but Qiu Yan preemptively asked: "Uncle Dawei, there is not even a path here, how did you find this place?" ”
Uncle Dawei suddenly stood up, and after he said several unrelated words, he finally said: "Hey, I just occasionally hear people mention it, and I am running transportation, so I want to come and have a look, not like you, to see if I can find our family's ancestral grave." ”
If Uncle David had said this as soon as he opened his mouth, maybe I would have no doubt, but after the period when he was hesitant, I became suspicious.
To be honest, Qiu Yan and I came all the way to find some ancestral grave, Uncle Dawei was born and grew up here, and he also came to find some ancestral grave, and it is such a remote place, which is even more suspicious.
Moreover, even if you want to find the ancestral grave, but with this kind of difficulty, such a trekking through mountains and rivers, what kind of person would be so idle and have nothing to do!
But if Uncle David didn't find this place because he was looking for an ancestral grave, then what would be the reason? Who would go to the trouble of coming here because they occasionally hear a word from someone else's mouth?
I thought as I walked, although I didn't think of the answer, but I was sure of one thing, Uncle David didn't tell us the truth!
I turned my head to look at Qiu Yan behind me, who was pulling my clothes and struggling to climb the mountain, and she didn't look suspicious at all.
I thought to myself that although Uncle David didn't tell us the truth, he didn't look like he was trying to harm us, and even if he wanted to hurt us, I didn't need to worry about him alone.
So I swallowed the words back in my throat, intending to see where Uncle David was taking us.
After climbing up the hill, I found that there was a large piece of gentle slope at the back of the mountain, and the gentle slope extended down dozens of meters away and then began to rise, extending to another mountain, so that a U-shaped col with a large span was formed between the two mountains. ”
As soon as I climbed up, I noticed that the mountain was full of stones, and the gentle slope under my feet was inlaid with more stones, which were mixed with weeds and thorns, so that I could not see the terrain below.
And the direction that Uncle David pointed to was also a field of stones and weeds, and I didn't even see a dirt bag.
"Let's go, let's go and have a look!" Qiu Yan urged excitedly.
Although it was downhill next, we didn't walk very fast because of the many rocks.
I finally came to the place that Uncle David said, and I saw that there was no so-called ancient tomb around here.
"Uncle Dawei, where is the ancient tomb?" I felt that Huang Dawei was lying to us, so the tone was a bit tough.
Who knew that Uncle David pointed to a pile of rubble beside him and said, "Isn't this it?" ”
Seeing Uncle Dawei's determined eyes, which didn't look like he was lying, I walked over to the pile of rubble to check it.
There are many kinds of ancient tombs that cannot be verified, and I know that there are examples of graves made of stones, so this pile of stones more or less dispelled some of my suspicions.
I squatted down by the rubble and looked closely, and found that the stones were not scattered randomly, but more like they were artificially piled together, but this still did not mean that the stones were ancient burial mounds.
"Hehe, Uncle Dawei, I think you may be wrong, this is not like an ancient tomb, and since it is said that this is the ancestral tomb of the Huang family, there should be more than one, forget it, let's go back!" I swallowed my disappointment and said.
But Uncle David didn't mean to leave at all, and I saw him standing in place and hesitating, as if he had something to say.
"Uncle Dawei, do you want to say something? It doesn't matter, we won't blame you if we can't find us, you just have to say it! ”
Uncle Dawei looked back and forth at me and Qiu Yan with fluttering eyes, and finally sighed and said, "More than that, you come with me." ”
After saying that, Uncle David walked to the hillside not far away, and he dug the ground with his foot, revealing a stone brick-like thing below Mashan.
I took a closer look, and saw that the thing was just a corner exposed, and that the one buried in the ground should be much larger than the stone bricks.
I quickly pulled out my dagger and dug around the corners of the bricks, and when I could see the shape of the thing clearly, I was so excited that I almost cried out.
It turned out that there was a stone tablet buried under the ground, and not only that, but when we dug out half of the stone tablet, Uncle David dug a few more places with his feet.
"Here, and here, there are all of them, a total of five stone tablets, and there are three tombs without monuments, which were later filled in!" Uncle Dawei spoke in a very small voice, as if he was very weak-hearted.
Qiu Yan seemed to have completely failed to listen to Uncle Dawei's words, and was so excited that she was digging tirelessly with a dagger.
I heard something else from Uncle Dawei's words, and now I finally understand Uncle Dawei's true occupation, and why he found here.
"Forget it, Qiu Yan, stop digging!" I said to Qiu Yan, but my eyes kept staring at Uncle Dawei, who lowered his head weakly, not daring to look at my eyes.
"Why don't you dig it, it's hard to find it!" Qiu Yan still didn't understand.
"If you dig it, it's for nothing, there's nothing down here!"
"How do you know?" Qiu Yan stopped what she was doing and looked up at me.
"Hehe, of course I know, because someone has been here, and they have already dug up everything first!" I still looked into Uncle Dawei's eyes and said.
