Chapter 165: A Tomb within a Tomb
"Is this kid a dog skin plaster?"
Xiao Laodao asked everyone to stop, raised his hand and beckoned Wu Er in the distance to come over, Wu Er saw Xiao Laodao beckoning to him, trotted away, and soon came to the front. It's a draft again, let's take a look at it first, and I'm not in good health these days.
Xiao Laodao glanced at Wu Er a few times and asked, "Do you really want to go with us?" ”
Wu Er nodded hurriedly, "I, I know, you masters, you are all big, big people, you eat meat, I, I drink soup." ”
Xiao Laodao looked a little helpless, "Our soup is not delicious." Xiao Laodao turned his head and beckoned Xiao Chujiu, "Give him the things." ”
Xiao Chujiu immediately turned over and dismounted, took out the sledgehammer and a two-foot-long chisel from the big burden on the horse's back, Xiao Laodao said: "If you want to get started, it depends on whether you have the ability to do it, within two hammers, smash all this chisel into the ground, if you don't smash it, then please go back." ”
Xiao Chujiu handed the sledgehammer and the chisel to Wu Er, Wu Er looked at the chisel and sledgehammer in his hand, and his face showed a trace of embarrassment, but he obviously didn't want to give up, so he took off the burden on his body, plunged the chisel into the soil under his feet, picked up the sledgehammer and smashed it down.
"When" the ground, the chisel was actually smashed into the soil by him, Xiao Laodao saw this, immediately smiled, and said a "good" in his mouth.
Immediately after, "dang" the ground again, and the chisel burrowed into the soil.
"Okay." After Xiao Laodao said a good word, he gave Xiao Chujiu a look, Xiao Chujiu understood, and walked over to ask Wu Er for the hammer.
Wu Er hurriedly asked Xiao Lao Dao at this time: "Master, if you don't win, can you accept me?" ”
Xiao Laodao said with a straight face: "It's still early, you can pull this chisel out of the soil again, you are not allowed to use tools, you can only pull it out by hand." ”
"What?" Wu Er looked at the chisel on the ground, which was already topless, "This, how can you pull this out?" ”
"It's your business to pull it out, and when you pull it out, come back to us." Xiao Laodao said and beckoned everyone, "Let's go, let's go on our way." ”
Everyone beat their horses and whipped away, leaving only Wu Er staring blankly at the backs of everyone in the distance.
After walking for a while, the grandfather looked back, this time, Wu Er didn't chase after him, and the grandfather asked Xiao Laodao, "Brother Xiao, you were deliberately making things difficult for him just now, don't say that he is an ordinary person, even if I want to pull it out, I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort." ”
Xiao Laodao smiled, laughing very meaningfully, Xiao Laodao said: "One is difficult, the other is tempting, if he thinks that I am making things difficult for him, he will never pull it out again, and he will not follow us again, if he really pulls it out, it will not hurt to follow us." ”
In a blink of an eye, it was noon, everyone stopped by a small river, eating dry food and drinking river water, at this time, a person ran on the riverside path, the master first noticed, and looked at the person from a distance, it was Wu Er.
The master greeted Xiao Lao and said, "He really chased after him." ”
When Xiao Laodao heard this, he looked at the side of the road, didn't say a word, and ate the dry food in his hand unhurriedly, Xiao Laodao stood up from the river, and at this time, Wu Er also happened to arrive, "Master, I, I'll pull it out." Wu Er looked very excited.
Xiao Laodao stretched out his hand to him, "Take the chisel and let me take a look." ”
Wu Er hurriedly walked up to Xiao Laodao and handed him the chisel, Xiao Laodao took it in his hand and looked at it repeatedly, and asked, "We don't know anything about our lives, why do you have to follow us?" ”
Wu Er replied clumsily: "You, you are good people. ”
Xiao Laodao looked helpless, "Okay, then the poor Dao will talk about it, you follow us first, but everything has to listen to me." ”
Wu Er nodded hurriedly.
Everyone ate and continued to hurry, when entering a village, Xiao Laodao wanted to buy a horse for Wu Er, but unfortunately there was no horse in the village, and Wu Er said that he couldn't ride a horse, so he had to buy him two mule carts, and everyone's luggage was all placed on the car, and Wu Er was responsible for catching up with the car.
That's it, after walking for an afternoon, when it was almost dark, Wu Er suddenly asked Xiao Laodao, "Master, can I worship you as a teacher, my parents died a few years ago, I will be your son and honor you." ”
Xiao Laodao glanced at Wu Er suspiciously, hesitated for a moment, and said, "If you want to worship me as a teacher, you have to withstand the test of poor Dao." ”
"What, what a test, or a chisel?"
Xiao Laodao smiled, "What is the test, when we dig out a great fortune together, you will naturally know." ”
Wu Er stopped talking, the sky was getting darker and darker, and in front, a small village appeared, Xiao Laodao beckoned everyone, and he would spend the night in the small village tonight.
At this moment, Wu Er suddenly said again: "Master, let's not enter the village, let's go back." ”
"What? Get back? ”
Wu Eryu hesitated and said, "I won't tell you, there is a big tomb behind us, and that tomb has not been excavated yet." ”
When Xiao Laodao heard this, he hurriedly reined in his mount, "Is what you said true?" ”
Wu Er nodded hurriedly.
"Then why didn't you say it earlier?"
Wu Er said: "I'm afraid, I'm afraid ......"
Before the words came out, Xiao Laodao smiled, "You are afraid that after telling us, we will take out the treasure and not give it to you." ”
"Hmm" Wu Er nodded hurriedly, "I deceived people in the past and almost died in the tomb." ”
"Then why did you tell us?"
"You ...... You are all good people, and you will not lie to me, nor will you harm me. ”
Xiao Laodao said: "It's no wonder that you have been following us, and you still worship me as a teacher." ”
Wu Er'er immediately knelt down for Xiao Laodao, "The apprentice wants to worship the master as a teacher, and this tomb should be used as a greeting gift for the apprentice to honor you." ”
Xiao Laodao hesitated for a moment, turned his head and asked my grandfather, "Brother, I want to hear your opinion." ”
The master looked at Wu Er, he looked honest, he looked quite pitiful at this time, and the master said: "It doesn't hurt to accept him, one more person is better than one less." ”
Xiao Laodao nodded, "Okay then." Xiao Laodao immediately said to Wu Er: "Let's go back now, find the tomb you said, whether you can be my apprentice or not depends on your performance." ”
A few people swept away the fatigue of the day, cheered up and walked back with Wu Er, and walked for less than two hours, Wu Er beckoned everyone to stop, at this time, both sides of the road were full of crops, Wu Er pointed to the crop field on the right, and said to Xiao Laodao: "There is a big mound at the end of the crop field, which is an ancient tomb." ”
Everyone looked in the direction of Wu Er's finger, and saw that there was a black thing faintly dozens of zhang away, Xiao Laodao said: "Like this kind of tomb with a mound of sealed soil on the surface, I don't know how many times it has been dug up, what you said, it won't be this, right?" ”
Wu Er hurriedly said, "This is it...... Again, isn't this one? ”
"What do you mean by that?" The grandfather asked.
Wu Er glanced at the master, but before he could speak, Xiao Laodao smiled and asked, "Tomb in the tomb, right?" ”
"Yes, yes...... When I went with the people to dig it, I found that there was another tomb next to the tomb, and they didn't give me anything of value, so I didn't tell them about it. ”
Xiao Laodao nodded and asked, "Then after they leave, why don't you come and dig it yourself?" ”
Wu Er immediately showed a nest face, "I, I don't dare to go to the grave alone, and there are people in the crops during the day, so I can't come over." ”
"Okay, let's go over and see."
At this time, it was basically the third watch, because it was far away from the village, there was no one in the four places, but, just in case, the ghost monkey was left to guard the luggage and horses, and the rest of the people walked with Wu Erchao to the tomb.
Soon, everyone came to the tomb near the mound, the master took a look, a huge mound of sealed soil, which was overgrown with grass, Wu Er surrounded the mound of sealed soil, turned around half a circle, and finally looked confused, "There was a thief hole in the past, why is it gone now." ”
Xiao Laodao said: "How can there be a robbery hole, it should have been backfilled by the family of the crop field a long time ago." ”
Xiao Laodao immediately instructed Xiao Chujiu, "Make another hole and take a look." ”
Xiao Chujiu immediately took out the shovel used to dig out the soil, and Wu Er was very active at this time, helping Xiao Chujiu to dig up the soil together.
However, what Xiao Laodao didn't expect was that this tomb didn't look big, but it was buried very deep, and no matter how much they dug it, they couldn't dig up the tomb.
Taking advantage of the gap when my grandfather replaced Wu Er, Xiao Laodao asked Wu Er, how deep is this tomb? Wu Er replied that it should be two or three zhang deep, and it would be almost to the end.
Xiao Laodao heard this, but his face was full of suspicion, and he dug for a while, and finally dug up to the cemetery, which is a vaulted tomb top with a brick wall structure, this kind of tomb top is the best, as long as the bricks are uncovered piece by piece.
When everyone unveiled the top of the tomb, the sky was about to dawn, Wu Er suddenly panicked, what to say, this area is the landlord's land, if he finds out, he will definitely not give up.
Xiao Laodao smiled faintly when he heard this, didn't say a word, and beckoned Wu Er to go to the tomb with him.
The showgirl and Xiao Shiyi were left on it to let the wind out, and several other people followed the rope into the tomb.
Then, a torch was lit in the tomb, and the grandfather took advantage of the light of the torch to look at the tomb, and it was a mess, the coffin in the tomb was lifted, and the bones of the tomb owner were thrown everywhere, accompanied by some rags and ceramic fragments.
Xiao Laodao asked Wu Er, where is the other tomb? Wu Erchao pointed to a wall in the tomb, Xiao Laodao walked to the wall and took a look, this is also a brick wall, but the bricks are tightly seamed, and there is no mechanism to see.
Wu Er hurriedly came over, tinkered with the wall for a while, and actually took out a square brick from the wall, causing a small black hole to appear on the wall.
Xiao Laodao hurriedly held the torch and took a look into the small hole, and the grandfather was also watching from the side, and saw that the back of the wall was indeed empty and dark.
Xiao Laodao turned his head and asked Wu Er, how did you find out in the past?
Wu Er replied: "I went to come down with people, after the coffin lid was pried open, they didn't let me go forward, I waited for them according to the wall here, and then I felt the wind in my neck, which scared me, and later, when I looked, this brick turned out to be alive, I took advantage of their inattention, and buckled the brick out, I felt, there should be a tomb behind this wall......"
