Chapter 53: The Sixth Master's Tomb Robbery Family
Maybe people don't often come here to stay overnight, I was rejected by the two families on the grounds that there is no place, I found a house that looks like it covers a relatively large area, the appearance is quite new, like a small villa, and my heart said that you can't say that there is no place, right?
I knocked on the door and found that it was an old man who opened the door for me, and it looked quite familiar. I thought, isn't this the uncle who showed me the way during the day? I said in my heart that I didn't see it, you are still relatively rich in this area, so you have to farm and wander around the road.
"Yo, uncle, is it your home? Do you remember me, the one I asked for directions during the day, I guess I won't be able to go back tonight, do you think it's inconvenient for me to stay at your house for a night? ”
Maybe he didn't have a good memory when he was old, but he stared at me for a short time before he smiled kindly and let me in.
The house looks very new everywhere, but the furniture is very small. The uncle was very polite, and brought me two steamed buns, and I nibbled on the water. During the chat, he said that his wife and son had died a long time ago, and his son and daughter-in-law were also working outside, so he was the only one at home, and he was not usually busy with any dishes.
I nibbled on the steamed bun and said to him, "Thank you, old man, I am a scholar of gold and stone, otherwise I would not have come here alone to see the ancient tomb."
"Hey, Jinshi, I know, there are often Jinshi teams here to investigate, but there aren't many people like you."
"I just passed by L City to take a look, not to investigate, and my unit is not here."
After some homely gossip, he put me in a small room by the door, and the sheets and bedding didn't look very clean, but it would be nice to have a place to sleep in this situation.
Maybe the bed board is too hard, or maybe I drank a lot of water when eating steamed buns, I tossed and turned in the middle of the night, and finally I couldn't hold back and had to get up to solve it, but I didn't know where their toilet was, but fortunately I opened the door in a daze and went out to solve it in the ground.
The cold wind blew my mind clear, and I walked back and closed the door, but I found that there was a bright light coming out of the crack of a door in the back of the house. I'm in good spirits, and I haven't slept yet.
I was about to go back to my room to sleep, when I heard a clanging sound from the other side of his room, which must have been the sound of iron objects colliding, like many iron screws falling on a shovel, and soon disappeared again. Could it be that the old man didn't sleep in the middle of the night, what kind of project was he doing?
Curiosity made me not rush back to the house, but stayed in the living room for a while. After a while, there was a faint sound of the shovel rubbing, rubbing, rubbing, rubbing, the sound was small but very coherent, or chaotic, not like the movement of the old man alone.
I was in doubt, and suddenly, the door was opened, and in the light I saw two strong men carrying sacks, and they also saw me, and they were a little overwhelmed on both sides.
However, the still scene only lasted for a second, and they threw down the sack in their hands and rushed towards me, and for a moment the dust was everywhere, and I just turned to run, but they were so fast that they pushed me to the ground, unable to move.
I was pulled up by the two of them and escorted into the hut just now, where there were several other people, and I saw Luoyang shovels, shovels, bamboo baskets, sacks, oil lamps, and hanging ropes on the ground.
I fully understand in my heart that these people really spent their blood and built a house, just to use this as a cover, and rob the tomb at night without realizing it!
"Little rabbit cub, I originally came to see you wandering outside alone, with the courage of Lao Tzu when he was young, so I wanted to make it convenient for you, but you killed yourself, no wonder me." The old man just now changed the politeness on his face, and he looked like the boss of the underworld, I said in my heart that your acting skills were good just now.
Although I was a little panicked, I knew in my heart that I couldn't mess with myself at this time, because I was the only one who could save me, and if I didn't think of a way, I would definitely be disposed of according to their rules.
I thought quickly, I can't run away today, I can only ...... Alas, soldiers do not tire of deceit.
I accompanied a smirk: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, you must know that it is your own people, what are you doing with this boss." I see you're missing a palm eye here, too. Why don't we have a pot on the spot today? ”
What kind of palm eye is this, the branch pot is all the black language I learned from the big waist before, the palm eye is almost the master, and the branch pot is a partner. I don't know if it's still called that when I get out of the boundary of S Province.
The old man looked at me with a look of disbelief, and at this time, a sturdy man came out next to me, and came up to slap me, and hit me so hard that I felt two streams of liquid obviously flowing out of my nose, and I didn't know if it was blood or what. I only heard him turn around and say to the old man, "Sixth Master, go to the backyard and make him done."
I hurriedly sobered myself up, adjusted my expression before the sixth master spoke, and still smiled, so I said, "This brother, there's no need, everyone is eating together."
He was about to rush over again, but the sixth master behind him coughed, and he stepped aside in a witty manner. The sixth master said: "It's okay, you still understand our black words, you give me an honest explanation, what the hell are you doing, otherwise ......"
As he spoke, he glanced at the people on the left and right, and the two of them immediately ripped off my shirt and pressed my hands up against the wall.
However, another man handed each of them a dagger, and they pressed the blade against my ribs.
My heart is cold, these people will have too much, right? This is a kind of torture in ancient times, called playing the lute, and I also saw it in a book by chance. When the person's hands are held high, the ribs are attached to the skin, at this time, if the knife is drawn up and down against the bones, the piece is like a piece of skin duck, the scene is miserable, because the action is similar to playing the pipa and gets the name. Most of the grave robbers are outlaws, I just didn't know they could be so cruel.
I told myself not to panic at this time, maybe my life would be saved if my face was filled at this point, but no one would be able to laugh at it.
I had no choice but to hold back a wry smile, and I said to the sixth master: "Sixth master, I heard that your name is highly respected, why don't you believe me?" If I hadn't stepped on Feng Shui, I wouldn't have fallen into your hands. ”
"If I believe in your grandson, my sixth master will be called in vain." After saying that, he was ready to wave his hand for his subordinates to do it.
I felt that my ribs were about to break, and I didn't know if I was bleeding from the blade, so I quickly preemptively said: "Otherwise, you are also well-informed, you test me after the exam, see if I really have this ability, don't you?"
He was silent again, I don't know if he was thinking, I saw hope, and hurriedly added the weight to help himself: "I see that you seem to lack a palm eye here, you raise your noble hand this time, we will have more opportunities to make a fortune together in the future!"
"Hmph, I see you're only in your early twenties, and your tone is not small, what do you understand?"
"Sixth master, don't underestimate me, you must know a lot, I'll tell you a few buckets that I have poured down, you can hear for yourself whether it is true or false."
I was also in a hurry, using this method to delay time, and then think of other ways.
He nodded, motioning for his men to drop my arm first. I shook my numbed arm and began to make up stories for him, the first one was to rob the tomb of Qinling and dig out the skull platform and touch the big gold nuggets; The second is to go to LL to rob the general's tomb and pull out the dried corpses and carriages; The third is to steal the tomb of the nobles of the Yuan Dynasty in the grassland, and get a lot of rare treasures.
I was a little skeptical that my eloquence was inherently good, and at first, there were a few grave robbers who were busy digging the ground on their own, but I didn't expect that after a while, they all stopped what they were doing and listened to my story. I really want to add a sentence after I finish speaking: "The above story is based on the real content, if there is any similarity, it is pure coincidence."
After listening to me, the sixth master didn't say a word, and after a while, he nodded and said, "I didn't expect that you kid does have some ability, and I also asked you to make up stories for you, but there are really no loopholes." Sure enough, it is the back waves of the Yangtze River that push the front waves, and your generation has succeeded earlier than our generation. ”
"Sixth Master, where are you talking about this, you are an old-timer, and we have to learn skills from characters like you in our later lives. In this way, today you can do whatever you want me to do. ”
"You kid is quite familiar, but he looks like a corner of the rivers and lakes. Maybe if you can produce something good today, you will have a share in it, and you will have a chance to make a fortune together in the future. ”
I heard him say this, but I didn't know very well in my heart, he accepted me on the surface, but it was still unknown whether he would finish doing me, so it was better for me to find a way to run.
So, I also helped to pour the baskets of soil brought up from the thief cave into the sack, and only the sixth master here has the privilege of not having to work.
While I was working, I also lied to the sixth master, although he had a murderous side, but he was kind like an old peasant.
I asked him: "Sixth master, if I am not wrong today, this is still a chick, right?" There wasn't a single cave nearby. ”
"Yes, we found out about this even after we visited the tomb, and we spent a lot of money to build this house."
"Wonderful, really wonderful, this is really something that only an experienced master like you can come up with!"
He smirked. I still say the same sentence in my heart, how high you are touted, how high you will be deceived.
I looked at several Luoyang shovels next to me, and then asked him, "Do you still use Luoyang shovels to visit the tomb?"
He asked, "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing, it's just that the goal of going out with this thing is too big, and if there is a chance in the future, I will teach my brothers to use a thin iron chisel, which is not only inconspicuous, but also much faster than the Luoyang shovel." This is what I read in the book, and the most primitive group of tomb robbers in ancient times who were still called "touching the golden captain" used iron drills.
He looked at me incredulously: "Oh? Iron drill? ”
"Yes, the principle is the same, as long as you look at the soil, don't you understand what you should understand? You say no. ”
