Chapter 50: The Bronze Gate
Originally, Zhuo Yifan wanted to carry her to sit outside the door and breathe the air outside, maybe people could be more sober, but the old lady squinted and stared at the light outside, and couldn't adapt to the strong light for a while.
"Gollum."
Her stomach rumbled as Zhuo Yifan put the old lady on the chair, took out some of the food in the bag, and gave it to the old lady to eat.
When the old lady saw the food, she immediately began to gobble it up, and we asked her to slow down, but she didn't listen at all, she should be hungry.
"Hey, this is still a living thing, huh?" After staring at the old lady and looking at it carefully, the expression on her face was completely confused, and the "corpse" suddenly became a human, which was too dumbfounded: "You eat slowly, if you choke to death, we will have to carry you back again." ”
"Shut up!" Zhuo Yifan glanced at the mouse.
The mouse pursed his lips and didn't say anything more.
After eating three loaves of bread, the old lady slowly stopped eating, and her face looked a little better.
"Old lady, why are you lying in a coffin? Also, what's going on in this village? Zhuo Yifan saw that the old lady had stopped eating, so he hurriedly asked.
The old lady sighed at first, then looked up at us and asked, "Who are you?" Are you also here for tourism? ”
"Also? Has anyone been here before? Zhuo Yifan became vigilant.
The old lady nodded: "Well, before, a white-haired man came, and he persuaded me to leave here, but I still had to wait for my son to come back, so I didn't leave." ”
"White-haired man?" Zhuo Yifan repeated, and then glanced at me.
"Mother-in-law, are the man's eyes blue?" I asked.
The old lady thought about it carefully, and then nodded: "Yes, it's blue, her hair is white, and she can't see her face clearly with a mask." ”
"Damn!" Zhuo Yifan was a little dissatisfied, originally thought that he had grabbed the front of Xiao Lengyan, but he never expected that he was still taken a step ahead by Xiao Lengyan.
"If you come to travel, let's leave quickly, in our village, everyone who can go has already left, and the rest are all gone?" The old lady choked up when she said this: "All of them are dead." ”
Zhuo Yifan saw that the old lady's mood was instantly depressed, and hurriedly changed the topic: "Mother-in-law, we are not here to travel, it is a man named Ge Tianzhong?" ”
"What's wrong with my son? Have you seen my son? Is he back? The old lady suddenly became very excited and grabbed Zhuo Yifan's arm.
Zhuo Yifan was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and said to the old lady: "Yes, we and your son are, yes, friends, he can't come back immediately if he has something, I'm afraid that you will worry, so let us come here to tell you first." ”
Zhuo Yifan estimated that he was afraid that the old lady would not be able to bear the pain of losing her son, so he lied to the old lady.
After the old lady heard this, her eyes were still red, but her mouth said, "He's still alive, it's good that he's still alive." ”
"Mother-in-law, what's going on in your village? Why is it said that the rest of the village is dead? Zhuo Yifan took advantage of the fact that the old lady was in good spirits now, and hurriedly asked.
When the old lady heard this, she fell silent, and looked at her expression, as if she did not want to think about these things anymore.
Zhuo Yifan still wanted to speak, but the old lady opened her mouth and said, "What a sin!" The people in our village have never done anything harmful to nature and reason in their lives, but but? ”
As the old lady spoke, two lines of tears fell from her cheeks.
This matter has to start with this year's Chinese New Year.
Their Gejia Village is a well-known poor village, because the geographical location is not good, they can't grow anything, there are some bamboos on the mountain, and their ancestors have relied on weaving some baskets to sell in the nearest town, but the nearest town is also six or seven hours away, so it is almost isolated from the outside world.
Moreover, in this day and age, no one has bought any bamboo baskets,
Therefore, most of the young men in the village go out to work, but they still live in poverty, and no woman wants to marry into their village.
The people in the village can only be reunited during the Chinese New Year, so that they can buy some meat and come back to eat.
This year's Chinese New Year made matters worse, because of the heavy rain for a week, the mountain behind the village actually collapsed, and the mudslide directly buried several houses in the village.
Although there were no casualties, but without a house, it would be impossible to live, and the eldest son of the old lady's family, Ge Tianhong, gathered all the men in the village to help clean up the dirt.
As a result, a huge copper door was cleared, which was more than two meters high, and there were copper handles on the door, which were embedded in the bottom of the collapsed mountain.
This situation made all the people a little confused, not knowing what the situation of this door was, thinking that there was a bronze door that was buried by the mountain soil for some reason.
At that time, a pound of scrap copper cost more than 20 yuan, and these village names saw that the copper gate was so wide, and it was estimated that it could be sold at a good price, so they wanted to dig out the copper gate.
As a result, after a long day's work, the copper gate was not dug out, but a whole black wall was dug out, and at this time, Ge Dazhuang, the only village name in the village who had read high school, said that it should not be an ancient tomb or something, right?
If it is, then there are old and valuable things in it.
It's just that if this is really the tomb they dug up, wouldn't it be disrespectful to the owner of the tomb? Moreover, the ancestors of this village were honest farmers, and no one wanted to do the work of digging graves.
So, I thought about burying the bronze gate again, but it started to rain again at noon that day, and the soil was quickly washed down again, and there were a few more villagers in the village who were buried by the mudslide.
The unreliable house was quickly washed away, and it was supposed to be happy for the New Year, but everyone endured bitterness and tears until the New Year.
Since there was no money to repair the house, the men finally turned their attention to the bronze door again.
They are all speculating about what the inside of the bronze door will be, this door is so magnificent, will there be a lot of gold and silver jewelry buried in it.
"Needless to say? To build such a large tomb, gold, silver and jewelry must be indispensable. Ge Dazhuang was very excited when he spoke, but he quickly calmed down again, because he also knew that there was a mechanism in the tomb.
Everyone began to hesitate, and in the end, the pressure of poverty prevailed over fear.
In particular, a few bachelors in the village coaxed that if there was really anything good in it, then they might be able to marry a daughter-in-law soon.
This daughter-in-law is the dream of many men in the village, the last straw in his heart was crushed, Ge Tianhong, who was originally very rational, also began to organize everyone and open the bronze door, because Ge Tianhong is almost fifty years old, but he has not yet tasted the taste of a woman, and he is anxious to marry a wife and have a child to pass on the lineage.
Originally, when I heard Ge Dazhuang say that, everyone was worried that the copper door would touch some mechanism after it was opened, but after the copper door was opened by two old cows, nothing flew out of it.

Xiao Liu'er was trembling when she saw the mouse, and she estimated that she really couldn't stand up, so she leaned over and helped the mouse up.
