Chapter 6 Fortune Business

Old man Zhang was about to go up the mountain with a hoe, but he stopped his fellow villagers, and said slowly, what do you look like like this, it's daylight, and people pass by in the mountains from time to time, in case people find out, it's not good, if you want me to say, since we have two people, we can't be so anxious, you go home and get ready, let's go to do the big ticket tonight while it's dark, and you can eat and drink for the rest of your life.

If this person is poor to a certain extent, he can think of any way to make money, and the old man Zhang thought that his family had been plowing the fields for generations, and the three generations of his grandparents had not eaten a few full meals, so he finally offered a "college student", and only then did he know that the county arranged work to give red envelopes.

His family is extremely poor, and has a long and glorious tradition inherited by the Chinese, that is, poverty, where to find something to send to the leader, after thinking about it, he gritted his teeth and agreed.

Let's say that the old man Zhang went home that day, and he was restless at the door of the house, for fear that this fellow villager was just trying to coax him, and he would return to the back mountain alone to do things while he was going down the mountain. I can't wait, and I'm as anxious as if I've drilled a worm's eye.

Fortunately, in the early morning of that night, after the old man and his wife had fallen asleep, he heard a dog barking outside the house.

Open the door and see, his fellow townsman with a number of equipment, are guarding the door of the house to play with the dog, the two met a total, hurriedly went up the back mountain, only a flashlight illuminated at night, Zhang old man walked fast, I don't know how many times he fell on his face, finally walked to the place where the fellow villagers said to see, but saw the mountain full of yellow mud and old pulp, the mountain road was washed down, and there was no way to go.

Old man Zhang was so angry, so he asked his fellow villagers, saying how did you lie to me? The fellow villagers were happy, and said Lao Zhang, where did I lie to you? Old man Zhang pointed to the place in front of him that was washed away by the flash flood, and said that these are all stones, what treasures can be taken out?

The fellow villager laughed again, saying Are you stupid, can the treasure be placed on the side of the road for you to pick up? You take a shovel and follow me, don't talk yet, Lao Tzu will take you tonight!

As the two spoke, they walked into the col with one foot deep and one foot shallow. At this time, the old man Zhang also turned his heart down, thinking that he had arrived at the place in the middle of the night anyway, it was better to follow down and see, it was good to be able to touch the baby, but if he couldn't touch it, he scolded the turtle son son son son son son son

The two of them were on the barren mountain road in the middle of the night, looking for flashlights everywhere, there had just been a flash flood in the back mountain, the geology was unstable, and it was dangerous to stay under the mountain col, and the old man Zhang saw that his fellow townsman had been pouting his buttocks, turning over the stones inch by inch to find, and he couldn't wait to be very angry, and he scolded the fellow villagers when he went up, saying that your dog is clearly entertaining me, see if I don't kill you!

He pushed the fellow villager as he spoke, but by coincidence, the fellow fell forward, and after the body fell to the ground, the entire rammed earth layer collapsed, revealing such a big hole in the dustpan, which was dark and swarthy, and the flashlight could not be illuminated at all.

The fellow villager fell all over the mud, but he didn't care about scolding him when he got up, and happily said Damn, I finally found the right place, this hole, Lao Tzu has been fooling around for several days, and has not found the exact direction.

Old man Zhang didn't scold anymore, saying that the baby is down there? Don't coax me, can you really see the baby when you go down?

The fellow villagers were impatient, and said if there is a baby, don't you know if you go down to see it yourself? Mahler, do you think Lao Tzu is not sleeping at home in the middle of the night, and insists on pulling you to the back mountain to play?

Old man Zhang was right when he thought about it, this fellow villager is also a person who can't afford to be unprofitable, how could he make such a joke with him in the middle of the night, so he didn't complain, and followed his fellow villagers to go to the cave.

The townsfolk hurriedly stopped him, saying What are you doing, looking for death? Old man Zhang was puzzled, and said that the caves had come out, why didn't he go down? "If you go on like this, you're looking for death!" The fellow countryman glared at him fiercely and said you wait first.

Then the fellow villagers opened their pockets, took out some sparrows from them, covered them with a cloth bag, tied them with red ropes, and stuffed them into the hole first.

The first group of sparrows had just gone down, and it had been about ten minutes, and by the time the fellow had brought the sparrows up, they were all dead. The townsman threw the sparrow on the ground and said for yourself, if I hadn't stopped you, you would have been like these sparrows when you went down!

Old man Zhang was stunned, and said that the sparrow was fine just now, why did he die? The fellow villager lit a cigarette and sat down, smoking while chatting with him, saying this, because there is no air exchange in the underground soil all year round, just like a pool of stagnant water, a tank of water in it for dozens of days will not stink? The air is the same, you just wait with peace of mind, wait for the air to circulate, and it will be fine.

It is estimated that after waiting for more than an hour, the fellow villager opened the bag and got two sparrows down, which will wait for more than ten minutes, the sparrow is still alive, but the spirit is not good, the head is wilted, and it is not called, the fellow villager said to wait, and it will be down in half an hour.

Old man Zhang smoked and waited until his fellow villagers said it was okay, and then he went down with a shovel and shovel.

The entrance of the cave was slippery, and the adobe layer was bubbling with muddy yellow mud and old pulp, and after going down, the old man Zhang found a straight passage, with very obvious traces of artificial carving, in addition to the air being relatively rotten and unpleasant, there was also a very strong smell of earth, and when he arrived here, his fellow countrymen's eyes lit up, constantly urging him to move forward.

Old man Zhang kept an eye on it, feeling that the townsman took him over to the tomb this time, and it was very likely that he had ulterior intentions and deliberately let him explore the way, so he deliberately grinded when he left, pretending to hurt his Achilles tendon, and limped to grind foreign workers.

The fellow villager was anxious, and urged him to go quickly, but he just didn't go, saying that he had broken his leg, or would he come back tomorrow? The fellow villager scolded him angrily, but he had no choice but to walk in front with a flashlight by himself.

Old man Zhang's leg was not broken at all, and when he saw that the fellow villager was far away, he sneaked over. The tunnel is very long, I don't know how long it took, but the villagers walked into a stone room made of stone, and in the middle was a huge coffin, which was much more beautiful than the coffin buried in the old village when he was dying.

Because the light was too dim, Old Man Zhang couldn't see it very clearly, but he saw the villager take out the incense candle from his pocket, first bow to the middle of the stone room, then light the candle, and put it in the corner.

After that, the two opened the museum, there was a little accident when the coffin was opened, the old man Zhang did not grasp the bar, fell down to the sarcophagus, and smashed it on his little finger, this smash bleed, and the old man Zhang said "ouch", and his fellow villagers scolded him for not being productive, and this little thing could not be done, and let him stand up and push the coffin again.

Old man Zhang was also anxious, holding the coffin with both hands and pushing hard, this push didn't matter, he opened the coffin and spewed out a puff of black gas, which happened to spray his fellow villagers. Because Old Man Zhang was squatting on the ground and pushing the coffin, the straight black gas was not inhaled by him.

He was startled and hurriedly asked his fellow villagers if there was something wrong? The townsfolk didn't answer, and immediately stood there still.

Old man Zhang didn't care at first, opened the coffin, looked around, the coffin was black, and he couldn't see anything, he had the courage to reach out and touch it, and he touched a cold, hard thing, and pulled it up, but it was a bronze sword, the weight was very heavy, and it was difficult to hold it with one hand.

"Lao Liao, how can you say there is a sword in this coffin?" Old man Zhang stared at the short sword and looked at it again and again, and his mouth was amazed.

The fellow still didn't respond, the old man Zhang was anxious, stood up and pushed his fellow villager again, who knew this push, the fellow turned his head suddenly, he saw that the face of the fellow villager was purple and black, the seven orifices sprayed red, the blood was very viscous, and it stayed along the purple and blue eye sockets, crawling all over the face.
