Chapter 8 The Entrance to the Cave of Thieves
"I'll go get a set of clothes for my master." Bai Wenliu got up and walked out of the room.
I stood there, not sitting or standing, and it was not suitable for me to walk directly, I could only wrap a bath towel and feel a little helpless, and the eyes of these people here were also a little strange, but no one cared about me anymore, and they began to continue to talk about the previous topic.
Their voices were so low that you couldn't hear them if you didn't put your head over, and they spoke so fast that I barely heard anything because I was standing far away with my towel wrapped in my bath towel anyway.
Qin Zixuan prepared the bottom of the hot pot, stood up, and glanced at me with a little meaning, this girl is not very old, she should be about the same as me, but I don't know why, when standing in front of her, all the careful thoughts in my heart seem to be accurately captured by her.
Fortunately, Bai Wenliu came back soon, he should have picked up a set of his own clothes from the car, underwear and socks should have been newly bought in the supermarket in front of the hotel.
I took my clothes and pretended to be indifferent and went into the bedroom to change and walked out.
"Master, come, sit here, Zixuan said that you like to eat spicy food, so I specially prepared a hot pot, and the hot pot base and side dishes were bought from Xiaolongkan." Elder Qin warmly beckoned me to sit beside him.
Just now, everyone was afraid that I would be embarrassed, so they didn't greet me, otherwise I wouldn't have been surprised to sit here wrapped in a bath towel and bare-assed, so these people are not just tomb robbers...... Oh no, according to the existence of the vein of Faqiu Tianguan, it should be called that they are experts in the protection of cultural relics, and at the same time, in terms of dealing with people, basically except for the fierce son and the like, everyone else can also do it without leakage.
I sat down, and then I felt as if I should say something, after all, I am also a master, of course, also out of that kind of polite way, as if asking "Have you eaten", I asked:
"Has the tomb been found?"
Qin Lao smiled and said, "The specific location hasn't been found yet, but it should be soon, and the people from the Cultural Relics Bureau are investigating in that area." ”
I nodded, then stopped asking questions and concentrated on picking up a piece of luncheon meat and putting it in the pot.
I don't know if they've already finished talking, or if it's inconvenient for them to continue chatting because of my presence, in short, the next thing they are just eating hot pot with one mind, no one drinks, at most a drink.
At the end of the meal, I was still sitting there, plucking up the courage to say to Qin Lao several times that I wanted to fly back to see my mother, and I began to weave all kinds of reasons in my head, I thought that if my mother knew that I wanted to go back to see her now, I would probably be moved to tears.
But before I could brew a good mood, Bai Wenliu's mobile phone suddenly rang, he answered the phone, his face showed surprise, and then said to everyone present:
"The tomb has been found."
I could feel everyone's breathing getting heavier at this point, and for these people, the discovery of a valuable tomb was the equivalent of a pervert seeing a beautiful woman.
"Let's go, go there, Wen Liu, has the equipment already passed?" Elder Qin asked.
"The equipment has already passed ahead of schedule, and we can dig at any time if we go now."
"Good, good, good." Qin Laolian shouted hello, and then everyone began to take their clothes and coats and prepare to leave.
I sat there a little dumbfounded,
Speaking from the bottom of my heart,
The so-called small landlord's tomb in the late Qing Dynasty had scared me half to death, and I really didn't want to touch other tombs, and it was a big tomb.
But they didn't give me room to refuse, especially Qin Lao, who actually stood in front of me and said very sincerely:
"Master, this tomb is the first tomb we encountered after the fourth master left, I know that it is a bit impersonal to let you deal with these underground things, but this time, even if it is for the sake of the fourth master, for the sake of your grandfather's face, let's deal with this matter, next, you have to leave to stay, I won't keep the old man, okay?"
My face was flushed, although my feelings for my grandfather had long since become very faint because of these years of overseas life, but after all, I had just participated in my grandfather's funeral, and I had just recalled and remembered my grandfather, and now Qin Lao was using my grandfather's name to pressure me in front of me, I really couldn't say anything else.
"Ready to go."
Seeing that I didn't speak, Qin Lao immediately got up and gave an order.
This old man, who is accustomed to seeing the underground and the life of officialdom on the ground, is really familiar with how to handle me, a nineteen-year-old child.
I followed them downstairs in a daze, and then sat in the passenger seat of a Santana, driven by Qin Zixuan and the others in other cars.
The reason why they returned to Chengdu may also be to rest for a while and to contact various equipment and operate various relationships, and they themselves did not expect that the real tomb could be found so quickly.
"Do you eat sugar?"
Qin Zixuan put a few fruit candies in her palm and handed them to me.
I shook my head, I didn't have the heart to eat candy at this time.
Qin Zixuan started the car and followed behind the first few cars, Chengdu was not very congested in the afternoon, and generally during the morning and evening rush hours, the city of "Chengdu" could become "a city with traffic jams all day long".
However, it started to rain outside.
"It's raining again." Qin Zixuan said to herself, she seemed to do everything with a sense of doing her own thing, including walking out wrapped in a bath towel in front of me before, and I was sure that this woman must have known that I had come in before.
"Do I need to go to the grave when I get there?" I asked, I think I still have more courage to face this girl than to face Qin Lao and Bai Wenliu.
Qin Zixuan smiled and didn't speak.
I hesitated, and then I pointed to my face,
"Do you all look down on me?"
"Yes."
"............" me.
I'll admit I was stupid, but the girl was too quick to answer.
There was a red light in front of him, Qin Zixuan stopped the car, and said while chewing fruit candy in her mouth: "You are really very different from the fourth master." ”
It's the fourth master again, and it's my grandfather again,
I really want to be an unfilial descendant now, how good it would be if I didn't come back to attend this funeral, even if my father was settled or cut off for a while in the future, it would be better than now becoming a faqiu heavenly official.
"Don't worry, my grandfather won't let you go to the grave." Qin Zixuan's meaning is obvious, you will also add chaos if you go down.
Well, although it feels bad to be looked down upon, I still have peace of mind, I don't need to go down to the grave, just look at it, it's a big deal to take the hair mound seal and recite the slogan again like in the morning, just like a lady of etiquette,
I accept.
More than 20 minutes later, the car has driven out of Chengdu, into the mountain road, Chengdu is a plain in the Sichuan Basin, and around Chengdu is the endless mountains, Li Bai once wrote "Shu Road Difficulty", in fact, people who have really traveled here by car will basically send out a kind of "Shu Road Difficulty" is really not an exaggeration, you must know that this is still the basis of the country's huge investment in transforming transportation facilities for many years, especially after the Wenchuan earthquake, because of the loss of the disaster relief road, So the roads along the route have been greatly renovated and upgraded again, but even so, it still gives people who pass by here for the first time a sense of fear.
especially
Rainy day.
The car began to get a little jammed in front, it should have been a car accident, but this should not be far from the tomb of the small landlord in the late Qing Dynasty where I went to open meat in the morning.
Bai Wenliu got out of the car in front of me with an umbrella and walked to our car, and I rolled down the window.
"Zixuan, you and Xiaoye come down together, it's in front, there was a car accident in front and the car can't drive over, let's go over."
"Okay."
Qin Zixuan took out two umbrellas directly from the back and handed me one.
I didn't hesitate, I got out of the car together, the rain was quite heavy, and the wind was also very strong, so I could only hold the umbrella hard and follow behind Qin Zixuan.
After climbing over the highway guardrail, our group walked straight down, and from a distance, I could see the lights flickering on the col not far from the road, and then two police cars parked in front of me.
Bai Wenliu took out his ID and talked to the policemen in front of him, and the policemen saluted and let them go after confirming the documents.
To be honest, the mountain road is not easy to walk, especially the downhill mountain road now, it is trembling and slippery, but I was embarrassed to say anything when I saw that Qin Lao was actually walking in front of him in a raincoat, so I could only grit my teeth and continue to follow.
"Is the specific entrance confirmed? Has the tomb ever been entered by rats? As he walked, Qin Lao asked a policeman named Zhang Jianguo who had stayed here before.
"The location of the tomb has been explored, but because of the rainy weather, it is difficult to carry out a more specific search, and it is not yet certain whether the tomb has been visited by rats in advance, and we have not yet been able to confirm the location of the opening hole."
"Hurry up, do you see the slope over there? I'm afraid something will happen. ”
"Can't it, Qin Lao, we just found this tomb and it came to the mudslide? How could it be such a coincidence? ”
"Hehe, are there few coincidences in our line?"
"Okay, I'll let them hurry up and find out the situation in this area first, and then say, Old Qin, be careful, it's not easy to walk here."
"I haven't used it to this point yet." Saying that, Qin Lao deliberately turned his head to look for my figure in the rear, and at the same time sighed to Zhang Jianguo beside him: "It's a pity that the fourth master is not here, otherwise, with the fourth master's ability to fix the acupoint, even if it is a rainy day, he only needs to stand on a high place and scan his eyes twice to determine the location of the entrance, where do we need to spend so much effort......"
"Ahh
I let out an exclamation, and the grass under my feet suddenly stepped on the air and the whole person fell directly into it, Qin Zixuan on the side reacted quickly and grabbed my hand directly, but the grass under her feet also fell at this time, and then she rolled in with me.
Bai Wenliu and Mengzi and others in the back immediately pounced, they did not act rashly, but knelt next to the place where I fell and carefully investigated, and Mengzi kept shouting inside:
"Master, Zixuan girl, master ............"
"Don't shout, this is the thief hole left by the rat before." Bai Wenliu took a deep breath, shook his head at Qin Lao, who came over with a shocked face, and said in a ghostly tone: "Master...... He, he's found the entrance to the thief hole. ”
