Chapter 23: The Turtle Monument

The entire ancestral hall was silent, and the grandfather's sudden move was beyond everyone's expectations.

"Why does grandpa kneel and kowtow to a group of snakes? And also call them 'ancestors'? Talk to them, will they understand? Someone in the crowd whispered.

In fact, not only him, but also the onlookers, except for a few people, should have such questions in their hearts.

Li Ergou was also curious about how these snakes would react.

Although the fat man said that the snakes in the pit were changed by the ancestors of the Liu family, and the purpose of coming here is also to warn the villagers, it is difficult to say whether they will buy the grandfather's account.

However, just when everyone thought that the grandfather's actions were useless, the "little dragon" actually straightened up half of his body, and a pair of eyes swept over everyone indifferently, and finally stopped at the grandfather.

"Disaster is coming, you can do it yourself!"

The "little dragon" spoke very strangely, and after finishing speaking, he twisted his body and crawled towards the outside of the ancestral hall.

The group of small snakes in the pit also followed, crawled into the wild grass outside the ancestral hall, and after a while, they all disappeared.

"Okay, let's frighten everyone, it's okay now, let's go back!"

At this time, the grandfather, with the support of the village chief, got up from the ground and said apologetically to everyone.

Most of the villagers were dumbfounded, and then they left the ancestral hall in twos and threes, leaving only a few construction team members and the grandfather in the end.

Li Ergou was also shocked at this time, on the one hand, because of the little dragon who spoke out, and on the other hand, because everything was said by the fat man.

In addition, Li Ergou was also very curious, what did the little dragon mean by the disaster?

Although the fat man had explained before that these snakes appeared collectively because of the small drought, Li Ergou felt that this matter might not be so simple.

It's just that this kind of thing, with Li Ergou's current ability, is absolutely impossible to know.

After thinking about it, Li Ergou still walked up to the third uncle and said, "Third uncle, do you know that the madman's grave was dug up by a group of paper men last night?" ”

The reason why Li Ergou asked this was to see the third uncle's reaction.

"I know."

However, to Li Ergou's surprise, the third uncle did not hide anything, and nodded directly and said.

Even the fat man couldn't help but look at the third uncle twice.

Obviously, the fat man didn't expect that the third uncle would directly admit his feelings for the paper man's grave.

As soon as Li Ergou wanted to ask something more, the third uncle suddenly waved his hand and said, "If you have anything to say, go back and talk about it, the matter of the ancestral hall is not over yet!" ”

The third uncle's words made Li Ergou stunned, he looked up, and found that several respected old people in the village had not left.

Especially the grandfather and grandfather, they all looked at the pit with solemn expressions.

"Brother Ruzhong, twenty years have passed, and the ancestors have also warned as a snake immortal, can you dig out that thing and take a look today?" The eldest grandfather suddenly asked at his grandfather.

Li Ergou was wondering, when the grandfather was talking about something, he saw the grandfather take a puff of dry tobacco, glanced at the soil pit on the ground with a complicated expression, and then said slowly: "Dig it!" ”

"Third uncle, grandpa, what are they talking about, why can't I understand a word?"

Li Ergou couldn't help the curiosity in his heart and asked the third uncle.

The fat man who had been standing next to him also turned his head curiously, wanting to see how the third uncle would explain.

"Kid, where are there so many problems, just take a good look."

But what is puzzling is that the third uncle not only didn't say anything, but also trained Li Ergou.

"Guys, please keep digging."

After listening to Grandpa's answer, Grandpa clenched his fists at the construction team members and said.

The construction team members hesitated for a moment before jumping into the pit, waving their shovels and continuing to dig.

At this time, Li Ergou and the fat man both saw that something was wrong with the situation, especially the fat man, and frowned directly.

If you just repair the ancestral hall, you don't need to dig such a big and deep pit at all.

Unless, there's something buried underneath.

"Brother Ergou, is there something buried underneath this?" The fat man wondered.

Li Ergou shook his head and said, "I don't know, it should be!" ”

He wanted to ask the third uncle, but when he thought of the third uncle's temper, he couldn't help it.

The fat man said before that the Liu ancestral hall is the feng shui eye of the entire Wolong Village.

Now the grandfather not only asked people to dig down, but also said that twenty years have passed, and he will dig things out and take a look.

Could it be that the grandfather asked someone to repair the ancestral hall is fake, and the real purpose is to dig up the things in the eyes of Feng Shui?

Twenty years ago, why twenty years ago?

Because of the disappearance of his father, Li Ergou is too sensitive to this number.

Could it be ...... Could it be that the things buried in the eyes of Feng Shui are related to the strange incident in Fengyuan Building twenty years ago?

As soon as he thought of this possibility, Li Ergou was shocked into a cold sweat.

It's no wonder that for so many years, whether it is grandfather, third uncle, or mother, they have not paid much attention to the disappearance of their father.

Especially the third uncle, after knowing that Li Ergou was investigating the matter of Fengyuan Building, not only did not help, but obstructed it in various ways.

There must be some ulterior secret!

Li Ergou was thinking like this, when he suddenly heard a "clang", as if the shovel had touched something.

The construction team first paused for a moment, and then began to clean up in all directions.

It didn't take long for them to clear out a stone monument carved with the head of the mantle, and then the workers were startled and climbed up from the pit.

"Uncle, we can't do your job!"

The construction captain said to the grandfather, his face was a little unpleasant.

These workers are not from Wolong Village, they have been working with soil all year round, and the most taboo thing is to dig up things related to dead people.

Now half of the stone tablet was suddenly dug up, and it was in the ancestral hall again, and a group of talking snakes had been dug up before, and these workers felt unlucky.

Under the leadership of the construction captain, everyone retreated.

"It's okay, it's just a stone tablet, we buried it with our own hands twenty years ago, you can just dig it, it's really not good, I'll give you double the salary." Grandpa persuaded.

Hearing the words of the eldest grandfather, Li Ergou's eyes immediately froze, and some kind of terrible conjecture suddenly appeared in his heart.

"Well, then!"

Hearing that he could get twice the salary, the construction captain hesitated for a moment, but nodded and agreed, and then began to beckon the workers to continue digging.

It didn't take long for the stele to be completely cleaned out.

When Li Ergou looked over, he was immediately taken aback.

The stele is about two meters high and eighty centimeters long, and underneath it is a huge stone turtle that carries the stele on its back.

And, there are four dragon dances in relief on both sides of the stele, the dragon's tail is coiled to the top, the dragon's head stretches out to the four corners, and the surrounding is decorated with line carved cloud patterns, and the two sides are embossed with cloud crane patterns.

The most terrifying thing is that the stone turtle is bleeding all over its body, and it is extremely terrifying!

"Unexpectedly, under this small Liu ancestral hall, there is actually a turtle monument buried." As soon as the stele appeared, the fat man couldn't help but sigh.
