Brother Chu's statement made Wu Xie feel that he knew quite a lot of things, and he couldn't help but get nervous, so he urged, lest he, like the third uncle, stop talking about it halfway through.

This time he couldn't help but show timidity, Brother Chu looked at Wu Xie and smiled: "Don't worry, I will tell you everything I know, but you have to promise me a few things first." ”

"What is it?" Wu Xie asked. The heart said: Should I temporarily increase the price?

He looked at the door and said with a shudder: "You can't tell others, I told you these things, after all, I can tell you the things of the dumb Zhang, and I can also tell you the things of other people for money, and I can't imagine that someone will hear the news and find someone to do it to me." I'm not going to go out indefinitely, and it's not as safe as I thought. If I hadn't been cornered, I wouldn't have sold these messages. ”

Wu Xie nodded, he could understand this, so he asked him to come to see him, and he also had to branch Pan Zi, the less people knew about this kind of thing, the better.

"I have been friends with your third uncle for many years, so I carried out a lot of things in the early years, such as investigating Chen Wenjin. So, I know a lot more than you think. "I know how deep the water is behind it." You may not know, your third uncle often mentions you, so I know about you, you are not a Taoist, so I dare to sell you news. ”

Wu Xie's heart churned, which could explain why he had that photo. He asked, "What the hell is going on?" ”

He continued: "I don't know if your third uncle has ever told you about those people? ”

"You mean the expedition?" Wu Xie Dao, the words of the third uncle sounded in his mind: they are all normal.

"Some, but not much."

"Your third uncle has been investigating the whereabouts of that group of people all his life, when I was messing with him before, I often listened to him nagging, but the more I checked, the more abnormal he found this group of people." Brother Chu finished smoking another cigarette, took out one and continued to smoke, "These people seem to be independent, independent of this world, and have no connection with this society at all. No one knows where they came from, who they were, or what they were investigating. ”

"I know that."

"At that time, I persuaded him to give up, and he told me that he absolutely did not believe that such a person existed in this world. In those years, we used up almost all methods, and there was no progress, and in the end, your third uncle still listened to me and gave up. I thought this was the end of the matter, but I didn't expect that a year ago, after your third uncle, you, and the mute Zhang came back from Shandong, your third uncle suddenly told me that the mute Zhang was also one of those people, and he had never been old. Surprised, we immediately started to investigate, and the target was naturally dumb Zhang. ”

Wu Xie sat up straight, and saw that Brother Chu had lit another cigarette, which he didn't know how many it was. He took a deep breath anyway. "Dumb Zhang was the fourth grandfather's person at the time, and your third uncle borrowed it from the fourth grandfather, so I asked someone to inquire about his life experience, and I heard some unbelievable things." He paused, "It is said that the first time the fourth grandfather saw the mute Zhang was quite peculiar, that happened four years ago, in a corpse hunt in Guangxi, have you ever heard of corpse hunting?" ”

Wu Xie nodded, corpse hunting is a matter of the old society, it usually happens when there is some kind of disaster, and there are zombie legends where it is more prevalent, and fighting drought is one of them. At this time, the graves are often dug up, and there are also times when the corpses are really disturbed, and the villagers pick out the bold, drag out the ancient tombs with lasso and zongzi, and expose them to the sun to eliminate the harm.

Chen Pi Ah Si's people and Brother Chu talked about the corpse hunting are different from this, Chu Ge said, this starts with Chen Pi Ah Si's business in Guangxi.

Guangxi has always been a place where the cultures of various ethnic groups gather, and there are many cultural relics and historic sites, but because the cultural differences are too big with the Central Plains, the Central Plains people are completely useless in Guangxi. Because Guangxi shares a border with Vietnam, over time, some Vietnamese people discovered this way of making money, and these people crossed the border to China to steal some ancient tombs. Guangxi has Lingnan culture, there are many ancient tombs, and many of them are open burials, Vietnamese people don't know how to rob tombs, dig indiscriminately, but they can still get some things.

The business of the Central Plains generation in Changsha and Shaanxi is actually very difficult to do, you say that there is no bucket, there are indeed still, there are a lot of oil buckets, stolen more than a dozen times, there are still things left in it, and it will not be empty-handed when you go in. But there are real things, there are really too few dragons' backs, and if you want to open a new bucket, several companies are squatting to grab goods, such a situation must change, so many scoops are fighting the idea of other provinces. For a period of time, there were many gold graves in Heilongjiang, and Guangxi was also a line.

Chen Pi Asi's plate is big, so he also has contact with the Vietnamese in Guangxi, and that time he sent people to Guangxi, because the people over there said that a group of Vietnamese Yankees found Dadou, I don't know what the origin is, it seems that the scale is quite large, and they want to send people here to "guide", they don't know what is worth and what is not.

There were three people who followed the Vietnamese into the rainforest and saw for the first time what the Vietnamese were doing. The Vietnamese were heavily armed, and it is estimated that this group of people not only engaged in this kind of business, but also carried a basket and asked them what they were loading, and they said that it was "Ah Kun" inside. The people of Tran Pi Ah Si do not understand Vietnamese and do not know what it means.

It took them three days to reach that place after three days of walking through the woods on the Sino-Vietnamese border. The tomb was almost open, and they covered the entrance to the discovery with banana leaves, as if it were a cellar, and just as they were about to enter, the Vietnamese stopped them and gestured to them, presumably meaning "be careful".

Saying that, a Vietnamese man brought out the contents of the basket, and then they realized that the basket was filled with a naked man.

The man's hands and feet were tied, his hair was scattered, and he was covered in mud, and the Vietnamese carried him through the entrance.

Below the entrance is the tomb road, all the way down the stone steps, the Vietnamese have pulled out their knives, Chen Pi Ah Si people are also ready to pick up the black donkey hooves, walking on the discovery of this ancient tomb is very large, walked for more than ten minutes to the tomb, down to the bottom of the smell of rancidity. They searched for the stench and found a basin-sized well in the center of the tomb, and the smell came from below.

This is a two-story tomb, and it is a group tomb of Lingnan Kingdom, the flashlight shines down, and the well is a rather low burial chamber, only about 1.5 meters high, and you can see the sun-like arrangement of wooden coffins soaked in stagnant water, and a strong stench is diffused from the bottom.

The Vietnamese directly pushed the tied man down, then hung down the noose and shone it with a flashlight, as if waiting for some prey.

Chen Pi'a Si's people knew at a glance that there must be something wrong in this ancient tomb, maybe they had already died the first time they went in, so this time, they brought people in. This person may be the equivalent of a fishing bait, and they want to lure something out of it with a living person, and then put a rope down to hang it. This is indeed a practice of corpse hunting.

It sounds too cruel to hear, the theft of cultural relics is nothing more than a quest for money, and the matter of taking people's lives has deteriorated, but there are historical reasons for the things over there, and it is difficult to generalize. The people of Tran Pi Ah Si knew that the Vietnamese were outlaws, and this kind of thing could not be interfered with, otherwise they did not know what they would do.

But they waited for a long time, but there was no movement at all, and the Vietnamese were very strange, and after discussing in Vietnamese for a while, the leader forced a Vietnamese to go down and check.

After the man went down, he looked around, and then beckoned, meaning that it was all right, and a few other Vietnamese people also went down and began to hang things on it. As a result, two pieces were not hoisted, and suddenly something happened below, and I heard someone screaming, and blood splashed out of the well.

These Vietnamese were quite strong, and immediately some people fled up, and two of them escaped, and then, at once, a corpse hand with unusually long nails came out of the well, and almost caught the leader. They were so frightened that they had no choice but to seal the mouth of the well with stones, build a dozen large stones, and then flee in a hurry.

This matter was later known by Chen Pi Ah Si, for such an experienced scoop handle, it is impossible to give up this ancient tomb just because there are a few zongzi in it. So Chen Pi Ah Si personally led people back to Guangxi, and when they arrived at the ancient tomb, it was already a week later, and after they moved the stones, they found that the bottom was a mess, full of stumps, and the stench was overflowing.

Chen Pi Ah Si thought that all the people had died, but when he went down, he saw more than a dozen zongzi poured on one side of the tomb, and his neck was all broken. A naked man sat on a coffin in the middle of the rice dumplings, looking at him expressionlessly.

Brother Chu said: "This person is the 'Ah Kun' who was used as bait by the Vietnamese before, which is now the mute Zhang." It was the first time they met. ”

Wu Xie took a breath: "This is too dramatic. ”

"There must be exaggeration in this, and it's easy to convey the spirit in this industry." Brother Chu said this, and seemed to enjoy it, probably feeling back to the time before he was imprisoned, "It is said that the group of Vietnamese found the mute Zhang in a village in Guangxi, and he was delirious at that time, and they thought he was a fool and tied him up as bait. However, this should be the case, and the exaggeration may be the number of zongzi and the like. After that, he became the fourth grandfather's partner, and this matter spread widely among several capable people under the fourth grandfather, but they didn't say it to the outside world. ”

"What happened before this?"

"No one knows, the dumb Zhang is quite powerful, and the fourth grandfather values him very much, but I think the fourth grandfather probably doesn't know the ins and outs of him, there are rules on the road, and no one will ask much about this kind of thing."

Wu Xixin said, it's useless for Chen Pi Ah Si to know, he doesn't know where he is now, where he is going to ask him.

"Although this incident is just a legend, it at least gives your third uncle a direction." Brother Chu said, "However, things have taken a turn for the worse, your third uncle went to Xisha in a hurry, so I went to Guangxi on his behalf, and took the dumb photo to that area to ask for news." It didn't take two months for Lao Tzu to get some clues in a small village called Banai in Shangsi——"

That village was mountainous, close to the Sino-Vietnamese border, and someone there recognized the mute Zhang, and the local name was Ah Kun, and took Brother Chu to the place where Ah Kun lived.

Wu Xie let out an "ah", but he really didn't expect it: "You mean he lives in the countryside of Guangxi?" ”

"It's quite remote, but that place is Chen Pi Ah Si's Tangkou in Guangxi, there are a lot of Vietnamese, he should live there, but I'm not 100% sure. When I went to Changbai Mountain, I contacted him through the fourth grandfather, and he should have spent most of his time outside in the field, and it could be seen that the house was not inhabited, perhaps, he never went back when he left Guangxi. ”

"What is his house like?" Wu Xie asked. He was a little curious about what the little brother's home would look like.

"It's very ordinary, it's a stilted house, just like the earthen house where the local ethnic minorities live, inside is the bed board and a table, there is glass on the table, and there are a lot of photos pressed underneath, I sneaked in, because it was the territory of the fourth grandfather, I didn't dare to be presumptuous, I didn't dare to take things out, so I just rummaged in it and took one of the photos out - the one I gave you, and I was going to wait until I discussed it with your third uncle before deciding what to do." But I didn't expect that Chen Pi'a Si had been eyeing me a long time ago, and before I got out of Banai, I was arrested, and you know what happened next. He paused, and then said, "My own feeling, when I inquired about the mute Zhang in Changsha, the fourth grandfather had already noticed me, and he probably knew some things, so I was stared at as soon as I arrived in Banai." At that time, I had no choice but to deal with your third uncle with him. ”

Wu Xie asked, "Then what you just said, what is the big secret behind this?" ”

Brother Chu looked at him and trembled again: "I can't say this......"

Wu Xie snorted, he hated that someone played him dumb riddles the most, and said, "What can't you say, don't you think the money is not enough?" ”

Brother Chu trembled: "Little third master, don't hide it, when your third uncle is here, the most taboo thing is for you to find out the roots." Now his life and death are uncertain, it is difficult to guarantee that one day he will suddenly appear, and you can find out these things yourself, if he knows these things I told you, I am afraid that my life will not be guaranteed. Your third uncle is not a good man and a woman, I betrayed him once, but that is excusable, but if this matter betrays him again, it is morally unjustifiable. You also said that there is a Taoist thing to be particular about, and if you want to know this, you go to that house and look at the other pictures pressed under the glass on the table, and you will naturally understand why I asked you to stop. That's all I can tell you, the specifics, and never come out of my mouth. ”

He still wanted to light a cigarette, but the cigarette was gone, and he coughed, his eyes were dazed, and he was a little similar to the little brother's eyes.

The mountain villages in Guangxi, the dumb people in the villages, the more the fucking thing goes, the more boundless it becomes. However, what Brother Chu said made Wu Xie's heart itch, what did he see in the little brother's room, he didn't say anything no matter how he asked, he asked many times, and his mouth was very hard. Looking at his appearance, Wu Xie felt a little strange and contrived, very strange, and finally the guards came in and asked what was going on.

Pan Zi was quite depressed and said, "Otherwise, I'll find someone to teach him a lesson and make him vomit." ”

"You don't have to do it so badly, I think he looks a little weak, maybe he doesn't know."

"Why?" Pan Zi asked.

"It's called bluffing, he may just know that there is a table in that room, and there are pictures on it, but he doesn't know what exactly is in the photos. Wu Xie said, "Of course, he must have been there before he dared to say so sure." ”

It's just his speculation, in fact, there is no point in thinking about it, no matter what, he still has to go for himself. When the time comes, it will be natural to know if what he said is too exaggerated.

With the address of Banai from Brother Chu, the plan to go to Guangxi was basically determined.

Banai is a Yao village, located in the hinterland of the 100,000 mountains of Guangxi, known as the Siberia of Guangxi, and was a rather poor place in the early years. Looking at that address, I'm afraid it's not Banai Village, but maybe it's still a place in the mountains around the village.

Chen Pi Ah Si is an old-fashioned person, and he may like to choose this kind of place where it takes two days to arrive at the police to do the entrance to the hall, and it doesn't matter if there is anything bad about going to the mountains, but this is bitter for them.
