Volume 1: The Candle Dragon of the South China Sea Chapter 15: Deserted Grave Rat Training

Zhang Xiaobraid snatched the money from the fat man's hand with one hand, turned around and found paper and pen from the drawer, and worked on the table for a while to draw the map.

I thought he would hand over the map directly to us, after all, the money was also given to him, but I never expected that he would say to the fat man that he would go to the mountains to "train rats"?

Scratching his head, he was a little puzzled, and turned his head to ask the fat man what does this "rat training" mean? Before the fat man could answer me, Zhang Xiaobraid smiled proudly on his face, walked up to me and said, "You will follow me up the mountain in a while, so that you laymen can open your eyes." ”

"Cut."

I glanced at Zhang Xiaobraid, and couldn't help but recall that they had mentioned "rat training" when they chatted just now, I was a little curious, and Chen Haoyue also thought it was very interesting, and the three of them decided to go up the mountain with Zhang Xiaobraid to have a look.

Before leaving, Zhang Xiaobraid grabbed a big rooster from the chicken coop and went to the room to get a handful of spices.

Looking at Zhang Xiaobraid's actions, I don't understand, why is this "rat training" still catching a big rooster? Could it be that you should go to the mountains to rectify the barbecue and eat, then you should bring a few more bottles of beer, it's really fucking interesting!

The three of them followed Zhang Xiaobraid all the way up the mountain, the road was made of dirt roads, the road was rugged and easy to fall, fortunately, the road was not far, through the poplar forest not far away, to a small hill, Zhang Xiaobraid raised his hand to signal us to stop.

I can see that this is not a barren mountain at all, it is more like an ancient Han tomb, and I really can't think of what Zhang Xiaobraid is doing with us in this obscure place?

"Apprentice, don't you also want to learn how to touch gold? Let's see how Zhang Xiaobraid trains rats. The fat man smiled and looked at Chen Haoyue and said.

I realized that Chen Haoyue had been calling the fat master because he wanted to learn to touch the gold and rob the tomb with him, I was a little speechless, what to learn in these years is not good to learn this craft.

Although he has been dealing with antique cultural relics all the year round, he also met a lot of tomb robbers when he was doing business in the shop, and he was also very interested in tomb robbers when he was a child, but after listening to the stories of some tomb robbers, he understood that there are many dangers in the ancient tombs, and the treasures in the small tombs are not worth a few dollars.

A bat and mouse can scare people half to death when they come out of the dark tomb, not to mention that the government agencies have severely cracked down on tomb robbery in recent years.

But when I think about it, with the improvement of people's living standards in recent years, life is dull and boring, and I want to play some excitement when I have nothing to do.

I believe that everyone has had such a dream of robbing a tomb in their hearts:

Wake up in the morning and brave the cold winter, scorching sun, beast attacks, natural disasters, etc., carry a Luoyang shovel and walk on the mountain road for a few days and nights, and set up a tent in the field at night for the night, and then begin to dig a day of robbery holes after the day is bright, go down to the cemetery and put a few zongzi and zombies, and then light a candle in the corner of the southeast wall, uncover the coffin lid, take out a few valuable artifacts from a pile of dry bones, and sell them to earn hundreds of thousands of millions, and then embark on the pinnacle of life, and play happily for a few years.

But the truth is not what people think, the more eerie the place, the more there is nothing, the so-called ghosts are just people's own ghosts in their hearts.

Arrived at this deserted grave, there is a spring next to it, the spring water is crystal clear, a few of us also walked for half a day on the mountain road is very tired, see the hurry with a handful of spring with hands to drink, the taste is sweet and delicious, the water quality is very pure.

After we drank the spring water, Zhang Xiaobraid didn't let us be idle, and handed the fat man a knife and told me and the fat man to kill the rooster, we grabbed the chicken and walked to the edge of the spring, and the footsteps gradually came behind us, and when I turned my head, I didn't expect Chen Haoyue to follow.

Why are we killing chickens Chen Haoyue coming along? I was a little puzzled, and before I could react, suddenly, she snatched the knife from my hand, and then stabbed the rooster in the stomach, and immediately blood gushed out like a fountain, and her white dress was sprinkled with a lot of chicken blood, but she had an evil smile on her face.

I suddenly got goosebumps all over my body, and I shuddered in my heart, at this time Chen Haoyue was like a female demon in a fairy tale, I really didn't expect that she, who is usually gentle and kind, would be so murderous.

After Chen Haoyue finished killing the chicken, I took the chicken to the spring water and cleaned it, Zhang Xiaobraid took out the seasoning he brought before and sprinkled it, and found some vegetable peppers and cabbage leaves from the vegetable garden not far away and wrapped them, the fat man found some wooden sticks from the pile of dead trees next to him and set them up, and after lighting the fire, the fat man kept turning the roast chicken and began to barbecue.

It didn't take long for the aroma to waft out, but it would take a while to eat the delicious roast chicken.

Watching Zhang Xiaobraid's back gradually walk to the hillside, I felt that this child was quite unusual, and they all said that the children of the poor were in charge of the house, but he knew so much at such a young age, so I didn't have some admiration, lit a cigarette and walked towards him curiously.

I quietly followed behind, Zhang Xiaobraid stood on the hillside and didn't notice me, I saw him take out a little thumb-sized thing from his pocket, I was a little puzzled, strode up to him, patted him on the shoulder and asked, "What is this?" ”

Zhang Xiaobraid was a little surprised, but turned his head to see that it was me, and said with a sigh of relief: "You don't understand this, this is a rat whistle specially to greet mice." ”

"Rat whistle?" I scratched my head, it was the first time I had heard of such a "rat whistle" in the world.

Zhang Xiaobraid didn't explain to me, and then he blew the "rat whistle", and the sound of the "rat whistle" went back and forth, making a squeaking echo from time to time, very similar to the cry of an animal, but I really couldn't think of it after thinking for a long time, what kind of animal could be so strange?

After a while, a group of weasels crawled out of the holes in the ground, and I saw that there were more than seven or eight of them, each about thirty centimeters long, and covered in brownish-yellow fur.

These weasels did not dare to go forward when they saw me, and kept wandering around the entrance of the cave, looking around and looking very wary of the surroundings.

Zhang Xiaobraid turned around and waved his hand at me, and whispered, "You go farther first, these weasels are afraid of seeing people." ”

After listening to Zhang Xiaobraid's words, I had no choice but to walk back to the fat man without joking, grabbed the fat man and said in surprise: "What the hell are you talking about "rat training" is training weasels?" There's something wrong, this thing is evil, in some folk call weasels Wong Tai Sin, you can't fight or catch, and you have to hide far away even when you meet, why should this pigtail train this thing? ”

Chen Haoyue was also a little curious when she heard this, and when she raised her eyes, she saw a group of weasels around Zhang Xiaobraid's feet, and she was suddenly a little puzzled.

"You don't understand this, in ancient times, training animals was a craft, and in those days, it was delicious and spicy to train animals. Let me tell you something that you all know: Genghis Khan, the founding emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, once had an army dedicated to training Tibetan mastiffs, not for anything else but specifically for fighting with the army. ”

What the fat man said is indeed true, there was indeed a Tibetan mastiff army under Genghis Khan's hands back then, and these can also be found in the history books. But when I turned my head and thought about it, what does this have to do with Zhang Xiaobraid's rat training? I was still puzzled, and the fat man lit a cigarette and continued.

"Don't underestimate this weasel, but the weasel is the most psychic animal in the world, there is no one! Why did I mention to you Genghis Khan's Tibetan mastiff army? Because Zhang Xiaobraid's ancestor once fought in that army. Once a victory, the general of the team was happy, so he decided to treat the soldiers with a lot of wine and meat, Zhang Xiaobraid and his ancestor deliberately set up with the general, a few glasses of strong wine in the stomach, everyone was drunk and fainted, and finally the general said that he missed his mouth, and told everyone the method of training animals. So that night, his ancestor secretly ran out of the army, returned to the village and began a career of "rat training", and this craft has been passed down from generation to generation. ”

After the fat man finished speaking, a song "On the Moon" was released on his mobile phone, and he kept listening to the rhythm and nodding while holding a cigarette in his mouth, and his face also smiled proudly.

"I'm looking up, above the moon.

How many dreams are flying freely.

Yesterday was forgotten, and the wind dried up the sorrow.

I want to meet you again on that vast road.

Life has been pulled, and the tide rises and falls.

Far away with you is heaven. ”

I was a little impatient to hear it, isn't it just a rat trainer, I actually made the fat man proud like this, and I lit a cigarette casually, and said angrily to the fat man: "Damn, shut down your old song." You have been talking for a long time, that is also the story of Zhang Xiaobraid and his ancestors, what does it have to do with you, it seems that you can also train rats! ”

Chen Haoyue washed her skirt by the spring, walked towards us from not far away, found a clean stone and sat down, and said, "You guys were talking about training rats just now, so I have a question: why train weasels?" And what does the weasel have to do with tomb robbery? ”

I was taken aback, and thought to myself, I just heard the fat man say so much, it was nothing more than wanting to use the story of Zhang Xiaobraid's ancestor to brag to me, so that I, the so-called "layman", could open my eyes, but I didn't say a word seriously.

"What does it matter?! So what are the characteristics of this weasel? The fat man snuffed out his cigarette and glared at us.

Chen Haoyue frowned, holding her chin and looking at the sky, her little face was red like a flower, and she looked very cute.

"I thought of it! Weasels are not only long, small, and have good vision at night, so they can easily get into the ancient tomb and rob the hole, and they have excellent eyesight in the dark environment, and can see the direction from the ancient tomb and take out the underworld weapon, so that they don't need people to go to the tomb and avoid danger. ”

The fat man's face was happy, nodded towards Chen Haoyue, and said, "It's not my apprentice, wait for the teacher to pass on this lifelong learning to you one day." ”

"The master is above, and he is worshiped by the apprentice." Chen Haoyue stood up and bowed to the fat man with a fist.
