The two of them sat back to back on the ground, sweaty, and every inch of the courtyard had been turned over, but they still found nothing, not even the lack of garbage, let alone strange things.

"Did you find anything over there?" Lin Ping asked breathlessly.

Yu Cheng shook his head: "The ground is full of garbage and a bunch of weeds, and I haven't found anything." ”

"It's really strange, there is no mobile phone signal, and this tree has such a strange phenomenon for no reason, there must be something that we have overlooked."

Lin Ping's eyelids were covered with sweat, and his face was flushed.

"Lin Ping, did you say that things were buried in the ground, so we didn't find anything?" Yu Cheng came up with a bold idea.

"Underground?" Lin Ping woke up suddenly, it was really possible, he hadn't found it after looking on the ground for so long, and it was really possible to say that it was underground.

Lin Ping asked Yu Cheng to call Zhang Qingshan and ask for Zhang Qingshan's opinion. Although this place has been abandoned for many years, after all, it is Zhang Qingshan's old house, and if you want to dig the backyard here, you still have to get Zhang Qingshan's consent.

Yu Cheng left the courtyard and dialed Zhang Qingshan's number and proposed to dig up the backyard. Unexpectedly, Zhang Qingshan was unexpectedly easy to speak, and bluntly said that they could toss whatever they wanted, even if they demolished the old house, as long as they didn't bother him again. It seems that because of Zhang Xiaoxi's vomiting of blood, Zhang Qingshan is already very dissatisfied with Lin Ping, and his tone is very impatient.

With Zhang Qingshan's consent, Yu Chengli went to the village and called three or two croppers, one of whom gave a hundred yuan, and rushed over with a shovel.

Lin Ping and Yu Cheng were already tired and tired, and they watched a few croppers digging in the shade, digging down more than a meter deep, and the yard was almost turned over, leaving about a meter around the big tree and not moving, which seemed a little prominent.

There was still nothing to be found, nothing but some gravel had been dug up, the soil under the excavated ground was very wet, the clods were sticking together, and there were many bugs and earthworms crawling on the ground, exuding a strange stench.

A few croppers are also tired and can't stand it, this summer is still three or four o'clock in the afternoon, the sun is the most poisonous, and a few croppers sweat shirtless without stopping.

After turning over the last piece of land, several people looked at Lin Ping and Yu Cheng.

"Boss, the ground here has been turned over, do you still want to dig it?"

"Lin Ping, are you still digging?"

Yu Cheng couldn't make up his mind, he really dug three feet into the ground, almost all the places that should be dug were dug up, and if he dug again, he could only put down this big tree, or he would push this earthen house.

When digging the ground, Lin Ping kept observing the turned up dirt and the ground, except for some gravel under the soil, there were some reptiles, there was nothing new at all, and it seemed that there was really nothing in this field.

The more this happened, the more strange Lin Ping felt, if he could dig out a signal jammer, Lin Ping thought it was normal, but there was nothing.

Lin Ping set his eyes on the thick laurel tree, and shouted: "Dig, put this one down, and dig out the soil around the tree." ”

Several farmers brandished shovels and began to dig again, turning the soil near the laurel tree out little by little.

This laurel tree is also very strange, the roots below are very firmly rooted in the ground, the trunk is thicker and thicker the lower it goes, digging a full meter, and the roots that extend to the ground below have not been exposed, and the whole laurel tree does not even shake, and stands very firmly in place.

A few croppers were also tired and couldn't stand it, so they hid aside to enjoy the cold.

Although this work comes quickly, it is also tiring, and the summer sun is very poisonous, and the sun is unbearable.

"Lin Ping, do you want to continue?" Yu Cheng asked again.

Lin Ping also beat the drum in his heart, hesitating, what is the situation? The places that should be dug have been dug, and the places that should have been turned over have been turned over, but I can't find anything, so I can have a saying if I dig up a little something.

"I'll go check it out and let them all rest." Lin Ping walked to the side of the laurel tree, and he didn't have hope, since the secret eye can't be used, he really has no tricks, if he knows how to "divide the gold and fix the acupoints", it is estimated that he can still use it, but he won't.

Lin Ping jumped into the pit, slipped under his feet and almost fell.

Cautiously walked to the side of the laurel tree, the dug up roots were completely black, and the surface even appeared in a pulverized state, with a thin layer of gray colloidal fluid flowing on it.

After observing for a long time and still no result, it seems that I really want to invite a botanist to take a look and analyze what is going on, otherwise I really can't solve this mystery, a big tree is verdant and fresh on the top, but it is dark and rotten below, unheard of, I am afraid that it is difficult for the botanist to say why.

After watching it for a while, Lin Ping had no clue, but he gave up after thinking about it, and there was no result if he continued to look at it.

He looked up at Xiang Lin Ping and said, "Fill in the soil and invite them back." ”

I kicked the ground and stood up, my feet slipped and I didn't stand firm and fell backwards, waving my hands in the air and falling on a whole piece of dirt that I didn't have time to throw next to me, but fortunately I was carrying a bag, and my back didn't hit the ground on the backpack.

"Lin Ping, how are you, are you injured?" Yu Cheng stood up in a panic and rushed over.

"I'm fine." Lin Ping stood up, and after speaking, he felt that the back of his left hand hurt so much, and turned over the back of his hand to check, in addition to the dirt, a piece of skin was knocked off the back of his hand, and a drop of blood flowed out, as well as a small black stain: "How can it be broken?" ”

The soil that has been turned out is very soft, even if there are a few pieces of gravel, it is not big and it is buried in the soil, although the soil is shriveled, but it will not bleed?

Lin Ping pushed away Yu Cheng's hand that was stretched out to help him, his eyes swept to the position of the dirt that the back of his hand had hit just now, his pupils gradually dilated, and a happy smile appeared on his face: "Yu Cheng, you pick up that spade soil." ”

Lin Ping climbed up the pit quickly, not caring about the dirty soil. Yu Cheng put the dirt in front of him, took out the Swiss Army knife and picked off the edge of the dirt little by little, the dirt became smaller and smaller, and the smile on Lin Ping's face became more and more vigorous.

"What is this?" Yu Cheng's eyes widened as he looked at the things in the dirt.

This is a stone, only the size of a fist, the surface is very rough, not as smooth and hard as the rock, nor the particle surface of the sand, but rough with a little smooth, without any lines just pure black, black shiny, before it was covered by the soil, now the stone is exposed from the soil, the sun shines on the slightest light, it looks very weird.

Lin Ping excitedly took out a T-shirt from his bag and wrapped the stone, he didn't dare to touch it with his hands, there were two lessons from Zhang Xiaoxi and Qi Zhuangzhuang, Lin Ping was not sure if this thing would be dangerous, or it was better to stay isolated.

"I don't know, but I feel like we've found it."

Lin Ping suddenly thought of a serious question: how to take this stone away?
