Ravine Horror Chapter 11 Wushan Toast
Money is too tempting, and I often see descriptions like "treating money as dung" in martial arts novels, and I think this is definitely a noble quality.
Looking at the two stacks of brightly colored banknotes on the table, my heart was beating wildly, you know, I have never seen so much money in more than 20 years!
In fact, even if Qiu Yan doesn't show up, I have plans to go to the cave to have a look, but first, I'm a little scared, and second, I don't have any good guys, so I've been hesitant to come these days.
Now that I have companions, they must have equipment, and besides, they have promised me a large sum of money, so I have no hesitation.
It's just that I thought to myself that I had to pretend that they begged me to go, otherwise, if I didn't say anything, the 30,000 yuan in the back might also be discounted.
"It's not about money, you know the situation in the cave, I don't want to have money and die when I spend it!" As I spoke, I pushed the 20,000 yuan back in front of Qiu Yan.
"He Zimu, we are not looking for death, we just want to understand some information in that cave, that is, if you don't take anything, you won't destroy the tomb, all you have to do is accompany us in, and after understanding the situation, we will return immediately, in less than a day, you can earn 50,000 yuan, don't you want to do such a thing?" Qiu Yan persuaded a little anxiously.
"To put it simply, when the time comes, you won't be able to go in. Okay, even for the sake of money, I promise you, you'll have to tell me what you're in for, right? ”
I thought this request was reasonable, but I didn't expect Qiu Yan to look embarrassed, she took back the money on the table, and said impatiently:
"Why don't you need to know, if you're really embarrassed, just as if I didn't say anything!" After speaking, Qiu Yan got up and wanted to leave.
As soon as I saw that the deal was about to fall through, I stopped her and said with a smile:
"Don't worry, you have to negotiate and deal with everything! Okay, I can go with you, but let's say in advance, you have to listen to me in everything after you go in, and I have to withdraw if I say so! ”
After hearing this, Qiu Yan immediately nodded in agreement and handed me the money.
"Okay, I'll go back and prepare, you wait for my notice!"
After speaking, Qiu Yan left in a hurry.
After returning home, my mother pulled me to get to the bottom of it, and no matter how I explained it, she decided that Qiu Yan was my secret girlfriend.
On the third day, I received a call from an unfamiliar number, it was Qiu Yan, and she asked me to meet in a village near Dongergou.
I know the village Qiu Yan said, it is the original Seventh Brigade, which is the closest to Dongergou, and you have to go through Dongergou to go to the Seventh Brigade from my house.
I went to the Seventh Brigade as agreed, and found that Qiu Yan and the others didn't know when they rented a house here, and the house was full of tents, shovels and other things, it seems that they have not been here for a day or two, and they have come prepared.
There were only Qiu Yan and Xiang Wei in the house, Xiang Wei smiled when he saw me, handed me a cigarette, and said:
"I thought Xiaoyan lied to me, but I didn't expect you to really come!"
I smiled politely, then looked at Qiu Yan, who was sorting out a few backpacks and ignored me.
"What about the others?" I saw that Qiu Yan didn't care, so I asked.
"There's no one, just the three of us." Xiang Wei said.
I was taken aback and exclaimed:
"Just the three of us? You're not going to tell me it's just the three of us in the hole! ”
At this time, Qiu Yan finally raised her head, looked at me and said:
"Just the three of us!
In the past, we were looking for so many people because it took people to find the grave and dig the hole, but now that the tomb has been found, and even the tomb has been opened, we don't need too many people anymore.
Besides, there are many people, who knows if those people will have a bad idea when they enter the tomb! ”
I said in my heart that the reason may be more than that, I don't know how those people left last time, I guess, Qiu Yan can't find other people!
"But it's just the three of us ······" I'm still treating Qiu Yan as a tomb robber at this moment, thinking that since it's a tomb robber, there must be something to move.
Qiu Yan seemed to see my thoughts, and before I could finish speaking, she explained:
"I said, we just went to the tomb to find some clues, and when we find clues, we will come out, and we don't need too many people."
Qiu Yan said Ling Ran, so I didn't continue to ask.
Xiang Wei sorted out a table at this time and asked me to sit down, and Qiu Yan also followed.
"I asked you to come here to discuss tomorrow's plans with you, and we plan to leave early in the morning." Qiu Yan sat down and said.
After that, Qiu Yan told me her plan in detail, which roughly means that Qiu Yan and I went to the grave, and Xiang Wei was on guard outside, and if we had an accident, Xiang Wei would be responsible for answering it.
Qiu Yan also introduced the situation of this ancient tomb to me by the way, it turned out that this toast was not the bread I understood, but the official name of the ethnic minority in ancient times.
In the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, in order to facilitate management, the government implemented an early self-control system in areas inhabited by ethnic minorities, and they appointed a tribal leader or chief of one side as the local administrator, called Tusi.
The Tusi tomb that Qiu Yan found was the mausoleum of a Tusi of the Tujia family, and Qiu Yan said that this Tusi was called Wushan Tusi, a Tusi in the middle of the Ming Dynasty.
Qiu Yan said that she consulted relevant historical materials, which showed that the jurisdiction of this Wushan Tusi covered almost the entire Wuling Mountain, and it was one of the top toasts in South China at that time.
However, the life of this toast is rarely mentioned in the materials, and it seems that this person is very mysterious, and no other information can be found except for some rough official records.
There is no record of when this Tusi died and where he was buried after his death, Qiu Yan said that after Wushan Tusi, the Wuling Mountain area was officially taken over, that is to say, Wushan Tusi was the last Tusi here.
Hearing this, I heard the problem, Qiu Yan said that there is no information to record when this toast died, and no one knows where he is buried, so how did Qiu Yan find here? In other words, how can Qiu Yan be sure that this is the mausoleum of Wushan Tusi?
I interrupted Qiu Yan and raised my question, but I didn't expect Qiu Yan to just glare at me angrily, and then hurriedly said "You don't need to know this".
After that, Qiu Yan told me some precautions after entering the cave, saying that the tomb would probably be rectangular in shape, and the coffin might be located in the center of the tomb, and she said that she would find a way to open the coffin after entering, and all I had to do was to stand aside with a tortoiseshell pendant to prevent any possible accidents.
I thought to myself that it was easy to say, as long as there is a pendant, I am not afraid of being choked, and after Qiu Yan opens the coffin, whether she robs the tomb or not, we will come out after taking something, I estimate that it will not take an hour before and after, and after an hour, 50,000 yuan will be in hand, is there anything more cost-effective in this world?
I couldn't hide my smile, I had forgotten what she had told her to obey me in all her actions, and I nodded at Qiu Yan, agreeing with her plan.
After going home and having dinner, I went to bed early, and at four o'clock the next morning, I quietly set off.
Dong'ergou, I've been here countless times, and when I was a little kid, I often sneaked around with my friends to fish and take cold showers.
At that time, people often felt human bones in the ditch, but because we had a legend of Robbers' Bay in the local area, no one cared much.
Before I knew what happened to my grandfather, this ditch was no different from other ditches in my eyes, it was just colder.
But now, after I learned what happened to my grandfather, and I experienced it myself two months ago, when I look at this ditch again, I feel that this place is full of countless ghosts and ghosts.
I turned on my flashlight, and little by little, I approached Robber's Bay, and I could see the mist over the bay in the moonlight, which was supposed to be the sound of insects and frogs, but the closer I got to the ditch, the quieter the night sky became.
I was about to walk into the mountain bay, but I couldn't take a step, and my mind was full of the scene of my grandfather's corpse being cut back then, although I had not seen it with my own eyes, but my mind had been trying its best to paint the picture extremely clear and terrifying.
I'm feeling like quitting!
Just as I was hesitating, I suddenly saw a figure on the road in front of me, and the figure was dim in the mist, and it seemed that it was still looking at me.
I didn't turn a corner, and my first reaction was to hit a ghost!
I subconsciously wanted to go backwards, but I noticed that the figure was moving after me, I quickened my pace, he quickened my pace, I started to run, and the shadow also ran.
I felt a chill in my vest and the hairs stood on end.
Just as I was about to run wildly, I suddenly heard a slight shout from behind me:
"He Zimu, is that you?"
I was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted, the figure of the feeling was not a ghost at all, but Xiang Wei, who arrived one step ahead of me.
I stopped, annoyed by my reaction, how could I be so careless after spending a few years in the army!
At this time, Xiang Wei approached me and asked:
"It's really you, I thought it was a passerby? No, what are you running? ”
I was too embarrassed to answer, so I asked:
"Why did you come early? Didn't you say it's six o'clock? ”
Xiang Wei smiled and replied:
"Come early and plan early, don't you come early! Let's go, Qiu Yan is still waiting for us! ”
After walking into Robber's Bay with Xiang Wei, we found Qiu Yan, who was guarding three hiking bags at the moment, and was walking around with a compass in her hand.
Seeing me, Qiu Yan stuffed the compass into one of the bags and said:
"Let's go!"
At this time, although the moon was still hanging in the sky, the sky was getting brighter and brighter, and even without a flashlight, we could see the road under our feet.
We climbed up the left bank of Dong'er Gully, and in a short time my whole body was wet with dew and mist.
There was no road on the left bank of Dong'er Gully, so we walked along the edge of the ditch, because the sun does not shine here all year round, so the ditch is full of moss and water mantles.
