Chapter 16 Digging for Dirt and Goods
Zhuo Yifan followed him into the room, only to see his face surprised, looked around, and showed an incredible expression.
"Brother Meng, what are these things?" Zhuo Yifan looked around and didn't find me, so he pointed to the box and asked the stout man.
The man shook his head: "It's nothing, Zhuo Shao, let's go, if you want to drink, let me Jin Meng accompany you to drink, those brothers outside have to do business." ”
"Okay, okay." Zhuo Yifan's mouth agreed, but his eyes were still looking around, and finally he followed the man named Jin Meng out of the room in a trance.
Seeing that the lights in the room went out again, I immediately turned my face sideways and glanced behind me, only to meet a pair of deep blue eyes.
He hugged my waist again and went straight out of the small air window on the top, which was the only air outlet except for the door.
Originally, they were all locked, but they didn't expect to be opened by Xiao Lengyan.
He hugged me like a ghost in the night, jumping quickly on the roof, and without making a sound, he took me directly back to his house within a few dozen seconds.
Xiao Lengran let go of me, walked to the door by himself, and checked the situation outside through the crack in the door.
It should be sure that no one has found us, Xiao Lengyan opened the door and didn't say anything to me, so he motioned for me to leave.
"Xiao Ye, what do those people want to do?" I looked at Xiao Lengyan, when Zhuo Yifan came to beg him today, he was indifferent, and he didn't expect to help go and see it.
"Didn't you see that?" Xiao looked at me coldly, but there was no coldness in his eyes.
"I saw it, but what are those shovels for?" I'm suspicious.
But just some shovels and strange masks and ropes, can they use such mysteries?
"Tomb robbery!" Xiao Lengyan only said two words, but I was stunned.
Tomb robbery, I have heard this word on TV, and I didn't think it could happen to me.
"Click, click."
As Xiao Lengyan was talking, there was a rapid running sound in the corridor outside, and Xiao Lengyan and I both turned our heads to see who it was.
"Eh, Fat Nine, how did you get out?" Zhuo Yifan estimated that he wanted Xiao Lengyan to "save" me, but he didn't expect that I was standing here now.
"It was Xiao Ye who saved me." After I finished speaking, I told Zhuo Yifan that the box was just some shovels and ropes and other things.
I thought he would be a little disappointed.
Unexpectedly, his expression immediately sank, and he muttered: "Is this going to "shop for local goods" again?" ”
Zhuo Yifan said vaguely, but it is the same meaning as tomb robbery.
He told me that those are the things that are "digging for local goods", but how can Hongru be reduced to the point of going to dig for local goods in person? It doesn't make sense at all.
"Where is this tomb?" I wondered if the pawnshop's business was too bad, so Hongru made a risky move.
But it's not right to think about it.
The Great Dynasty once said that our pawnshop is different from ordinary small shops.
Sometimes it's normal to not open for three or five years, as long as you encounter good things, you can guarantee the operation of the pawnshop for seven or eight years.
We Qingru seem to have only one or two orders of business a month, which is not an extremely valuable good product, but it is no problem to feed us people.
In Qingru, I don't have a salary every month, I just take care of food and housing, and give out a red envelope of a few hundred yuan every New Year's holiday.
"Fat Jiu, this matter, you don't care about it, go back to sleep." Zhuo Yifan's dark eyes rolled for a while, and then motioned for me to go back to the room first, and his eyes were staring at Xiao Leng.
Xiao Lengyan didn't look at him, but turned around and went back to the room.
I was not interested in robbing the tomb, so I listened to Zhuo Yifan's obedient return to the room.
But in the next few days, Qingru had new faces every day, these people came and went, almost didn't speak, and sat in the dining hall when it came to dinner.
Sometimes it scares me, and more than a dozen people sit at the table in the cafeteria without making the slightest sound.
Du Chaofeng has also reined in these days, following behind Da Chaofeng, and doing things very carefully.
"Fat Jiu, what are those people doing today?" Zhuo Yifan also got up very early and asked me about the movements of those people every day.
"Nothing has been done, when are we going to check the blood jade cicada?" These days, Zhuo Yifan and Xiao Lengyan have a surprisingly consistent tacit understanding, and they never mention the blood jade cicada.
Actually, it's not that they don't mention it, but at this time, I don't know that the appearance of these people is because of the blood jade cicada.
"Hey, you don't understand it now, anyway, it's better to be careful, don't mention the jade cicada if you have ears on the wall." Zhuo Yifan's voice was very low.
I looked at him suspiciously, thinking to myself that he was not quite excited when he saw the blood jade cicada before, why did he have such an attitude now.
These people stayed in Qingru for five days, and I didn't pay much attention to it originally, but when a "newcomer" appeared in Qingru on the evening of the fifth day, I suddenly felt that my hairs stood up.
The man was over 1.7 meters tall, of medium height, and had many scars on his face, but what was more conspicuous than the scars was his large bald head, which did not have a single hair.
Bareheaded? I squinted my eyes and stared at the man carefully.
Immediately linked him to the bald murderer who appeared at Mr. Zhao's house, but the murderer flashed in front of the window that night, and I was not sure.
"Hello? Little boy, add food to me. The big bald head smiled at me as he spoke, revealing a mouthful of big white teeth, looking very honest, and he didn't look like a murderer who didn't blink an eye.
"Little boy?" When he saw that I was stunned looking at him, he opened his mouth again, and I came back to my senses and hurriedly took his rice bowl with both hands to refill the rice for him.
This bald man eats a fragrant meal, especially likes spicy food, and his mouth is stained with chili sauce, but he eats very happily.
"It's all ready, let's go tonight."
I put away the dishes and chopsticks that I had eaten, and I heard Fu Lao talking to the man named Jin Meng.
Jin Meng nodded, and the two of them walked out of the dining hall one after the other.
The whole dining room was just me and the bald man, who pulled the rest of the plate of meat in front of him, and told me to go to the kitchen and get another jar of chili sauce, pour it on the meat, and eat it with all my heart's content.
Unbeknownst to me, I was looking at him carefully.
If he is the murderer that night, then Hongru suddenly appeared so many people, Zhuo Yifan said that these people are going to "buy local goods", then which local goods are they going to buy?
Could it be that it is also to track down this blood jade cicada, I thought about it for a long time, but I didn't come up with a clue, and finally when the bald man finished eating, I finished my own business, and went to the backyard to find Zhuo Yifan to ask clearly.
When I arrived at his room, I found that Zhuo Yifan was actually packing his luggage.
"Zhuo Yifan, you also want to go with you to rob the tomb?" I asked bluntly.
Zhuo Yifan immediately waved his hand: "What kind of tomb robbery, tomb robbery, we are going to "pan for soil goods". ”
He said as he continued to pack his clothes.
"You followed, is it because this matter has something to do with the Blood Jade Cicada?" I stared at Zhuo Yifan.
The movements in Zhuo Yifan's hands were immediately paused, and he looked at me suspiciously: "Then the white rakshasa told you?" Damn, I told him not to talk about it, you don't know how dangerous it is, so stay here and wait. ”
"Is it really related to the Blood Jade Cicada?" I was immediately excited.
Zhuo Yifan was stunned: "You kid deceived me." ”
"Wait, I'll clean up too." I didn't wait for Zhuo Yifan to finish speaking, and immediately turned around and went to my room.
After simply taking a few clothes, he came out in a hurry, and Zhuo Yifan was very helpless.
"Fat Jiu, we're not going out to play." He looked at me seriously.
"I know, that's why I have to go, don't worry, I won't drag you down." After that, I put my bag on my back and walked towards the courtyard gate.
Zhuo Yifan hurriedly grabbed me and made a boo gesture towards me, the expression on his face was still a little complicated, and finally came to my ear and muttered.
Only then did I know that Jin Meng and the others did not plan to take Zhuo Yifan with them, and Zhuo Yifan also secretly wanted to follow.
Zhuo Yifan has already planned it, and when those people leave, we will follow, and when we reach the destination, they will have nothing to do with us.
"Then Xiao Ye is going?" I asked Zhuo Yifan.
He shook his head: "What do you care about him, that stinky boy, it's too horizontal, let's go by ourselves." ”
"Just the two of us?" I couldn't help but be a little worried.
"Why, if you don't dare to go, then stay here obediently." Zhuo Yifan was a little angry at my reaction.
"No, let's go together, it's safe to have you." I said with a smirk.
"That's pretty much it, come in, and when they're done, it's not too late for us to follow." Zhuo Yifan said, and pulled me back to his room.
We thought it would be time for the group outside to set off in the evening, but we ended up waiting for night.
Zhuo Yifan yawned, and after watching the movement outside a few times, he simply lay down on the sofa, and muttered to me: "Fat Jiu, did they change the time?" ”
"I heard what Fu Lao said, it seems that it is indeed tonight." After I finished speaking, I also stood up like Zhuo Yifan, and quietly hid behind the door and looked out of the crack in the door.
The courtyard was very quiet, and there was no one moving, only two people standing straight at the door of the room where the boxes were placed.
This deathly silence lasted until one o'clock in the morning, and finally, I saw Jin Meng with seven or eight people, walking towards the room where the guy was placed with a calm face, and then the door of the room was opened, and they began to lift one box after another, as if they were about to act.
