Chapter 48: The Gravedigger

The old man stood up suddenly, looking anxious, "Zhuang Lao County Order, it's too late, can you please send a few young people to follow the old man first, my son was crushed under the grave, and there is more than luck!" ”

As soon as he heard the death, Bai Chongwen hurriedly said, "Zhengde, you go with this gray Xiaoshu girl, and the others stay in the county office." ”

Zhuang Zhengde was confused, and didn't understand what Bai Chongwen's arrangement was, but since Mr. Da had ordered it, the two didn't dare to slack off, so they hurriedly let the old man lead the way.

While hurrying, the old man talked about the incident.

The old man's surname is Li, a native of Qinhuang, and the old man's son is named Li Goudan, who has never had a livelihood, so he followed his uncle to dig graves.

This grave digging line is divided into two categories, what Ming Xing does is to dig holes and dig pits, and carry coffins for ordinary people to be buried; The secret line is this digging holes and robbing tombs, destroying coffins for wealth.

According to Li Laohan, Uncle Goudan is proficient in the secret art of feng shui and is a good hand at finding dragon points. In the past few days, the two of them have wandered around the mountains, and they have been found in a Shang Dynasty tomb by Uncle Goudan.

The three of them were ready to do something, and they used the Luoyang shovel to test it first, and Uncle Goudan looked at the color of the soil dug up, and felt that the scale of this tomb was not large. After a little total, they were scheduled to go down to the tomb that night and dig up some bronze devices to exchange for some silver.

When it got dark, Goudan followed his uncle into the robbery hole that had been made in advance and went down to the tomb. Li Laohan sat at the entrance of the cave and smoked a dry cigarette, looking at the wind by the way, after all, this kind of thing was not done once or twice, and Li Laohan was very relieved of the skills of the two.

But these two went down for a full hour, and there was no sound at all, Li Laohan was a little anxious, and pulled the rope that had been tied in advance, only to find that the rope had been disconnected in unison at some point.

He hurriedly shouted at the entrance of the cave for a long time, but no one answered, so Li Laohan panicked and hurriedly went out for help. When the pedestrians who returned late on the road heard that they were going to the tomb to save people, they were so frightened that they hid far away, and no one wanted to be contaminated with this kind of bad luck.

There was really no way, and Li Laohan couldn't take care of Wang Fazai, so he could only run to the county government to find someone from the government for help.

In the case of not seeing people in the tomb, it is generally the lack of air in the tomb, which stuffs the person, and then the landslide suppresses the person. But listening to Li Laohan say that the rope that was broken in Qi Qi was indeed a little weird.

Gray Xiaoshu snorted, and glanced at Zhuang Zhengde with a somewhat solemn expression.

Hurriedly trotted all the way, the three of them arrived at the entrance of the thief cave, Zhuang Zhengde took advantage of the moonlight to take a look, the hole of the thief hole was quite large, and it was estimated that it was enough for two people to enter together.

Lowering his head and smelling the smell of the cave, Gray Xiaoshu pulled Zhuang Zheng aside and whispered, "Twitter, there is a fragrance in it, it's very strange." ”

Leaning over and smelling for a long time, he didn't smell the aroma that Gray Xiaoshu said, Zhuang Zhengde frowned and said to Li Laohan, "Lao Li, you can tell the truth." Is there anything strange in this? ”

In the dark, Li Laohan didn't say a word, and suddenly his eyes rolled and he fell straight to the ground.

This scene frightened Zhuang Zhengde, and he hurriedly rushed to Li Laohan and touched his nose, which was quite stable.

pinched Li Laohan's middle place hard, but there was no reaction at all, Zhuang Zhengde raised his hand and snapped it with two big-eared scrapers, but Li Laohan was still indifferent.

Turning his head to look at Gray Xiaoshu, Zhuang Zhengde said in a low voice, "Did you see something rushing over just now?" Why did this old man Li lie down so well? ”

"Twitter, I didn't see anything. Zhuang Datou, what are you shaking? A big man's family is still afraid? ”

Pinching his cheeks, Zhuang Zhengde breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "I'm not afraid, it's just a little cold." The bottom two haven't been saved, and the next one is lying down. Uncle Bai is really, so he doesn't know how many people to call to help. ”

Gray Xiaoshu smiled teasingly, "Twitter, don't worry about this old man, there should be nothing wrong." Zhuang Datou, do you dare to follow this girl, let's go down and investigate? ”

"You dare, what am I afraid of as a big man, you wait first, I'll go find a guy to defend myself."

I was in a hurry to come out at night, and Zhuang Zhengde didn't bring a dagger, so I had to grope around in the dark.

There is nothing in this field that can support the faΓ§ade, Zhuang Zhengde turned around, only found a torch stick thrown by Li Laohan, led the fire to ignite, Zhuang Zhengde waved his hand and said, "That's it, just go down and forget it, it's a big deal to put some blood out when the time comes, and you can be afraid of dogs." ”

Holding a torch and looking at the entrance of the cave, Gray Xiaoshu hit his head, Zhuang Zhengde cushioned, and bent down into this bottomless thief hole.

After walking a few feet, the cave became noticeably wider, and the passage was made of stones all around.

It seems that this robbery hole was directly hit at the door of the tomb passage, and Zhuang Zhengde couldn't help but secretly admire Uncle Goudan's grave digging level.

The slope of the tomb road gradually increased, and Zhuang Zhengde followed Gray Xiaoshu cautiously.

Suddenly, there was a strange laugh from the direction from which he came, and then a boom was heard, and the dust around the tomb was slapped.

Zhuang Zhengde was slapped with dust and dusty, and hurriedly shouted, "Li Laohan, are you fucking awake?" ”

"Hahahaha, let's be buried, let's be buried......"

Li Laohan's hoarse voice came from the narrow tomb passage, which really startled Zhuang Zhengde. Gray Xiaoshu stopped, turned around and patted Zhuang Zhengde on the shoulder, "Twitter, big head, what should we do now, should we go back and see what the hell this old man Li is doing, or continue to move forward?" ”

"It's all here, he can still pour water into the cemetery, let's go first."

When he came, Zhuang Zhengde had already observed the surrounding environment, this was just a small dirt slope on the edge of a farmland, and even if Li Laohan woke up, he couldn't make any big waves. The voice that came just now may be that Li Laohan blocked the entrance of the thief cave with something.

The torch in his hand was unaffected, flickering, indicating that the air in the tomb was still circulating.

The two of them said no more, and walked down the passage. The tomb road is indeed a little long, and when he walked to the corner in front, Zhuang Zhengde suddenly saw something on the ground.

Putting the torch low, Gray Xiaoshu took a closer look through the firelight, "Tsk, the rope is broken here, it should be in front." ”

Seeing that there were traces of the rope, Zhuang Zhengde was not in the ink, and waved his hand to signal Gray Xiaoshu to continue moving forward. After turning around this corner, there were already small oil lamps on both sides of the cemetery, and it was dark in front of them as if something was blocking the way, and it was really hard to see with torches.

Raised the torch to light the small oil lamps on both sides of the tomb, the small oil lamps flashed with blue and yellow firelight, Zhuang Zhengde felt that his back was cautious and cool, and he had a bad premonition.

At this time, I didn't dare to look back, so I could only continue to walk forward.

It turned out that this black thing was a large piece of broken dragon stone, but it didn't fall completely, I don't know if it was stuck or someone had opened it before.

Along the ground there was a gap that had just been able to get in, and the torch was put down, and Zhuang Zhengde saw the rope pass through the middle of the broken dragon stone.

It should be Goudan and Goudan's uncle who entered the tomb.

Lying on the ground, Zhuang Zhengde stuffed the torch through the gap, only to see that it was still pitch black inside, and the rope led straight inside.

After Gray Xiaoshu helped Zhuang Zhengde up, he said quietly, "Twitter, shall we drill?" Do you want to go in and have a look? ”

"It's coming. Drill! ”

Some reluctant to buy the newly bought clothes on his body, Zhuang Zhengde sighed, or leaned down to find a more comfortable angle, and slowly rubbed it in through the gap. Gray Xiaoshu did not delay and followed.

Zhuang Zhengde admired his courage a little, when he encountered this kind of thing before, he was absolutely afraid to avoid it, but now he dares to go to the tomb to save people.

The broken dragon stone is not too wide, but this gap is a little tense, Zhuang Zhengde is fat, and he has to protect the torch from extinguishing, so it is really laborious to drill.

Zhuang Zhengde was panting in front of him, and the dust on the ground was flying, and Gray Xiaoshu followed behind and complained bitterly.

After drilling to the other side of the Broken Dragon Stone, Zhuang Zhengde got up and didn't have time to take a closer look, so he pulled Gray Xiaoshu up first, and then he held a torch to investigate around.

The burial chamber is not very large, and there are small oil lamps on the walls of the tomb all around, but they are not lit. There is a large vermilion lacquer coffin in the middle of the burial chamber, which has not been weathered or damaged at all after so many years, and still flashes a desolate red light against the backdrop of the firelight.

Looking down for the rope, Zhuang Zhengde found that the rope was broken after the broken dragon stone did not grow long, and there were only chaotic footprints on the ground, which looked like someone was hiding from something.
