Chapter 116: A Hundred Ghosts and Trapped Beasts
I turned around and saw that the sound was coming from the direction of the ruined temple.
Suddenly I was shocked, this ruined temple has collapsed, and now Zhang Kailong and they should be cleaning up the big pit, is this the sound of them shouting when they are working?
I don't know what about other places, but in our neighborhood, when a group of people work together, they like to shout a trumpet in order to have the same rhythm and to boost their motivation.
What "one, two, one, do it, move your big piece of meat ......", what "brothers, work hard...... in short, the more crowded, the more lively.
But what is this "woo woo woo" strange call?
Thinking about it, my curiosity sparked.
At that time, Li Xiaobai and Wang Er had already fallen asleep on the tricycle, and there was still a snort on their mouths, and they couldn't wake up even if they shouted.
I pulled over to the side of the road and walked in the direction of the big pothole.
After turning a corner, I saw the strange scene: about sixty or seventy people, some standing outside the big pit, some sitting in trucks, and even a few people driving in the same position, all of them tilted their heads and looked motionless at the sun that was about to set.
I'm wondering! Suddenly, these dozens of people roared togetherβ"Woo woo woo," and I was so frightened that I took several steps back in succession.
What's going on? Looking at this group of people carefully, many of them are known to me, and they are very familiar, in addition to Zhang Kailong and Chen Laosan, including Wang Jiliang and many other neighbors in Laomiao Village.
After the dozens of people finished roaring, they continued to stare at the sun motionlessly, and the movements were very neat, almost like rehearsals.
What's going on? The doubts in my heart came to an end.
Over the next few minutes, they repeated the shouting several times, and then went back to work as if nothing had happened.
I was almost stupid, first I suspected that something was wrong with my eyes or brain, and I thought about how it took five minutes from the first roar to the end of the roar, and everything I saw and heard in those five minutes couldn't be fake, right?
I was sure that I had heard and seen correctly, and I knew that this strange scene had something to do with the contents of this huge pit.
"Uncle Wang, Brother Long! What were you doing? β
I walked over a few steps and shouted towards the crowd.
"Xiao Zhen! What did you say? β
Wang Jiliang was loading sawn tree segments into the truck with a shovel when he heard me shout and hurriedly turned around.
"I said, what were you doing?" I was referring to why they were looking at the sun together and making strange roars together.
But Wang Jihao replied blankly as if he couldn't understand my words: "Isn't this always cleaning up the ruins here?"
When he said that, I was even more confused.
"I'm asking what you just shouted? Still so consistent? β
At this time, Zhang Kailong turned around and asked me with a smile: "Have you drunk?" Let's go back to the village and get some sleep! It's dirty and messy ......."
"It's not...... Brother Long! You don't know what you just did? β
may have seen my face full of seriousness, Zhang Kailong's expression was stunned, and he asked me, "What voice did you hear?" We...... We've been working! Didn't hear anyone shouting. β
"I don't just hear it, I see it!" I told the scene as it was, and now they looked incredulous!
"We? You mean all of us shouting together? And staring at the sun stupidly? β
Zhang Kailong asked me word by word, very firmly.
The people who were working around heard our conversation and came around and asked me what was going on.
I didn't know how to answer them, but when I saw more and more people, I thought that more things are better than less, so I said perfunctorily: "Maybe I'm drunk, I'm too tired these days......"
When I said this, the crowd dispersed.
Zhang Kailong and Chen Laosanchao glanced at me, I should believe that I was not mistaken.
Everyone's work is a link and a link, and it can be regarded as an assembly line operation, and I don't have much more, so I walked to the edge of the big pit to see what was cleaned up.
I saw that the black coffins had been completely cleared, and some coffins had been revealed in other places, and the number should be no less than seventy or eighty, surrounded in a circle, and it seemed to be a huge thing in the middle, but at present, it was covered with a thick layer of debris, and it was impossible to make out what it was.
In addition, most of the trees had been sawn off and hoisted, and now it seemed that there was nothing in the crater, except for a circle of black coffins, which were unknown in the center.
So many coffins are not tombs yet? I thought of Professor Gu's serious appearance at that time, and I thought it was funny, it seems that this so-called expert also has a time to lose his eyes.
Looking at the time, it was already early seven o'clock, and Zhang Kailong shouted, "Let's be here today!" β
Dozens of people lined up at the bottom of the pit and stood on a wooden platform and were lifted up by cranes in batches.
After everyone left, Zhang Kailong and Chen Laosan called me aside and asked me again what had just happened, and I explained the whole process in detail.
"We really don't feel it at all, it can't be the owner of the coffin in this pit who is making trouble!"
Chen Laosan smiled and joked.
"You have forgotten, there were at least 100,000 birds and so many ants around here before, and the number of dead rats and dead snakes we cleaned out today is also amazing!" Zhang Kailong said.
"But what does that mean?" I asked.
Zhang Kailong sneered, glanced at the big pit, and said slowly: "At least it can show that there is something wrong with the things in this huge pit!" β
As we talked, we walked back and saw that the tricycle was gone, and we knew that the neighbors had helped us ride back.
We continued walking, because the neighborhood was crowded with people when we came, and Zhang Kailong parked the car on the side of the road outside the village.
As soon as we walked onto the main road, when we saw Zhang Kailong's car, we also saw three people standing motionless next to the car. All three of them wore glasses and looked polite.
These three people are none other than Professor Ku and his two graduate students.
"Something! Professor Gu, shouldn't you have followed the car of the Cultural Center? Seeing that it was these three, Zhang Kailong hurriedly stepped forward to say hello.
"I got in the car, but after thinking about it, I decided to stay and wait for you!"
Professor Gu replied.
"Wait for us? What's the matter? β
"I want to tell you about this big hole!" Professor Gu's expression was very serious, and he looked very serious.
"What's wrong with this pit? Didn't you say you had to wait until you cleaned it up to see what it was for? Zhang Kailong replied.
"I think I've pretty much seen what this place is!" Professor Gu straightened his glasses and smiled bitterly.
"Oh? This can't be a noble mausoleum, right? I couldn't help but say, I wanted to laugh at the professor at the time, before he said that this can't be an ancient tomb, but so many coffins have been dug up, isn't it an ancient tomb or an ancient school!
"This is indeed not an ancient tomb, but a place that is more terrifying than the ancient tomb, called 'Hundred Ghosts and Trapped Beasts'."
Professor Gu replied.
