151 Calamity
The old man then told some stories about the village, which had been buried in his heart for decades.
The old man is nearly 80 years old this year, his hair is all gray, he looks in good health, and he is also very energetic.
He has lived in this village since he was a child, and when he was more than 10 years old, there was an accident in the village, and the people in the village left one after another, so he gradually moved to live alone outside the village.
There was also an old man who lived with him before, but unfortunately the old man's health was not very good, and he unfortunately passed away more than 10 years ago.
For more than 10 years, he has been a lonely old man, occasionally helping some people in need who pass by.
"Grandpa, you have always said that there were some accidents in the village decades ago to become like this, what kind of accidents happened in the village?"
Talking about the disaster in the village decades ago, the old man often sighed and entered the memory.
Until he was a teenager, there was always some gossip in the village that there was no one in their village.
There used to be a big family that had to flee because of the people in the officialdom, and when they got here, they married some local people, and gradually formed a small village.
In about 50 years, a small village has grown from more than 10 people to 50 or 60 people.
Originally, they lived a quiet and peaceful life, and there were all kinds of rumors everywhere, such as treasures and the like, which was not something peculiar. But it was heard by people with a heart, and several groups of people went to the village to inquire about the situation and wanted to dig up the treasure.
"At that time, the village chief Ruyan Qifan warned those outsiders over and over again that we are just an ordinary small place here, how can there be any big treasures that make them rich...... At that time, everyone in your village lived very hard, if there was really any guarantee, they would have dug it up and sold it for money, where could they wait for outsiders? ”
Ling Xiaoning couldn't help but feel a little surprised, he didn't expect this small village to be ruined because of an ethereal rumor.
"And then, why did all the people in the village leave because of this rumor?"
Later, things became more and more violent, and a group of very vicious people came, who went around the village to commit murder and evil, and forced the old people in the village to ask about the security.
The matter of security is just a rumor for the villagers, and no one knows what is going on.
In order to restore a peaceful life, some people in the village went to the yamen to complain, hoping that the people from the government could help administer justice. The people of the government came here to investigate the situation, but they were in the same boat as those who committed evil and evil, and the village became a disaster, and everyone looked for an opportunity to leave.
Overnight, the entire village was left with only five or six elderly people who were inconvenient to leave.
At that time, the old man was still young, and he ran away from the village with his family.
I don't know what happened in the village later, those old people who didn't run died unexpectedly, in fact, they were killed by their group of people who did all kinds of evil.
After another five or six years, the matter gradually subsided, and I had never heard of any treasure that had been dug up from the village.
Originally, the people in the village secretly came back to see it, and took away some reluctant old things from their old houses.
The old man, and another person lived near the village, and no one would talk about the disaster in the village for no reason.
The people in the village who experienced those things personally back then are vivid and unforgettable.
"These people are too ignorant and hateful, just because of an ethereal message, so many of you have been harmed!"
"I used to think about it all the time, but more than 20 years ago I realized that maybe it wasn't just an illusory thing......
The old man's eyes suddenly became energetic.
"What does that mean?"
"After knowing that those people had an accident, we didn't rush back to the village, for fear of being implicated, and I waited until the matter was calmed down before secretly returning to the village to help collect the old man's body."
In the old chief's room, the old man accidentally found a mechanism and got a wooden box in the hole in the wall.
There were several valuable jewels in the wooden box, which were obviously not owned by the old village chief. At that time, looking at the old village, if the old village chief pawned these jewels and sold them for money, he would be able to live a rich life, and there was no need to hide in this small village.
In addition to this, there are several envelopes and a strange drawing.
"I thought that the old village chief had left something this time, so I secretly took it away, exchanged those jewels for silver tickets, and then helped the old village master find the descendants and give them to them. I couldn't read the words on the envelope, so I kept it secretly. ”
Song Zhiqiu couldn't help but be a little interested, and wanted to take a closer look at what the other things in the box looked like except for jewelry.
The old man himself did not dare to be interested in the matter of security, and looked at the two people who seemed to be very interested, and promised to take them to get the wooden box back after dawn.
Over the years, he had been hiding the wooden box near the old village chief's house, thinking that it was the old village chief's belongings, so he asked him to accompany the old village chief all the time.
Back then, those bad guys kept asking the old village chief about the protection, but the old village chief didn't mention it, but he lost his life because of it, which must be very important to the old village chief.
It was close to dawn. Ling Xiaoning leaned on Song Zhiqiu's uninjured shoulder and slept in a daze for a while.
When it was dawn, the two of them followed the old man to the place where the wooden box was buried.
It's been nearly 10 years since the last time the wooden box was opened, and the wooden box is badly damaged.
The previous envelope had also been broken, but the drawing of the special material was not damaged.
There are some simple legends on the drawings, and it is obviously another landscape map.
Ling Xiaoning couldn't understand these maps at all, just like reading some rare characters.
"Zhiqiu, you should be familiar with these maps, can you tell what is famous?"
"I'm not very familiar with the terrain around here, so I can't be sure of anything at the moment, but I have a hunch that this could really be a treasure map. Now that we are in a crisis, we can't understand so many things, so it's better to take this drawing with us first. ”
The old man's expression became a little complicated, and he stopped talking.
"Grandpa, don't worry, if I have the opportunity to really find a batch of guarantees in the future, I will never use them to do anything bad, I just don't want the bad guys to get this batch of guarantees. In the future, when I get this batch of treasures, I will definitely use them to do some good deeds, and I will not worry the village elders and grandfathers under Jiuquan. ”
