Chapter 5: The moon is dark and the wind is high
The dwarf's whistle was very loud, but unfortunately it was not in tune, it was very unpleasant, and with the sound of the wrinkled waves of the reservoir water, it was easy to think of a female ghost with a cloak of hair.
I kicked the dwarf and scolded him: "What the hell are you blowing, ghosts cry and wolves howl, and the living can make you scared out of ghosts."
The short man grinned at me, looking like a fool, he looked a little scared, his eyes were very flickering, looking at the hairy moon in the sky, he patted the side of the boat and said.
"Brother Shanzi, I'm not afraid, make some noise and strengthen my courage."
I poured a mouthful of two pots, touched the firewood knife, and seemed to be much more bold by the smell of wine, and looked at the tattered clothes on the short man's body, and I thought that I had to buy beautiful clothes for something valuable, and no mother-in-law would like to look at the brothers and sisters if it went on like this.
The dwarf rowed the boat very fast, and I sat face to face with him, trying to slow him down, but suddenly my eyes flickered, and I was so frightened that I suddenly woke up half of my wine.
I stood up and took a look, and saw a round thing floating on the water, it emitted a silvery white light, and I thought it was someone's discarded garbage, which made the dwarf come closer.
"Brother Shan, haven't we seen this thing that night with embroidered shoes, it's evil, let's still do the right thing"
The dwarf did not approach as I commanded, but rowed the boat far away from the thing, and made a great circle to the island where the embroidered shoes had been burned.
When I got to the island, I wondered what it was, and it didn't look like a ghost fire, but a bit like the bottom of a bottle.
The dwarf slapped the bushes with his hoe, there were many snakes in this season, and with this beat, two cauliflower snakes came out of the bushes.
Not only was the dwarf not afraid, he picked up his hoe and smashed it on one of them, turned around and smiled at me.
"Brother Shanzi, don't let it run away, this is free meat, nourishing yin and replenishing yang."
The cauliflower snake is not poisonous, but my mind is the treasure of the tomb, and I look up and say to the dwarf as it slips from its feet into the water.
"We are people who do big things, save our energy to dig things, and if we have money, we are afraid that we will not have meat to eat?"
"You're high-spirited!" The dwarf scolded unconvinced, reached out and picked up the snake that had smashed its head and was still writhing, stepped on the bloody snake head, dropped the hoe, pulled the snake's tail, hooked the snake gall with his right hand, and then put his head back into his mouth, and wiped his mouth before saying to me.
"This is a good thing, dispelling wind and calming convulsions, brightening the eyes and benefiting the liver, clearing heat and detoxifying, let's not just say nothing, let's start!"
With that, he grabbed the snake and threw it into the water, then picked up the hoe and continued to beat it in the bushes.
The moonlight was hazy, and I looked around, and the island had not changed much from when I was seven years old, and the fruit tree of the April fruit was still there, and there was a big lump in the place where it was broken.
Touching the firewood knife, I followed behind the dwarf, and while clearing the obstacles, I chatted with the dwarf and said: "Dwarf, don't say that Brother Shan doesn't take care of you, this time, I will go to the shop for you to propose marriage, and give you a mother-in-law to warm the nest."
The dwarf turned his back to me, and the bushes snarled, and I couldn't see his expression, but when I heard the happy laughter, he came to fill me with garlic at the end.
"I think it's better to forget it, her father has a shop by himself and a broken three-wheeled motorcycle, when did he take a look at our brothers?"
Uncle Zhang of the small shop has a daughter, named Zhang Fang, I know that the dwarf likes her, when Liu Datou wanted to touch Zhang Fang's face when he was in school, the dwarf fought with him for this, and I am still the old man in this matter.
Zhang Fang is indeed smart, and even many people in the township are worried about her, she usually wears two braids, and when she laughs, she will show two shallow dimples, which is particularly charming, but the short man took a fancy to it, and I dispelled my thoughts about her.
"Shorty, do you believe brother, brother said to help you, you can hold her to sleep!"
The dwarf suddenly became interested, turned around with his hoe, looked at me and asked.
"Don't frame me, you really have the ability to ask Zhang Fang to sleep with me, so that from now on, I am short when you are your father and mother."
Since I say this, there must be a way, the reason is that Zhang Fang was in the grove and I saw her ass, and there was a red mole on her left buttocks, knowing this, I dare to pack a ticket She has been a short woman in her life.
Of course, I don't plan to tell the dwarf right now, because this is easy to say, and I'm afraid it will take some brains to implement it, not to mention that the tomb behind is still waiting to be dug up, and there is no time to talk to the dwarf.
Cut down the fruit tree of April, and the whole tombstone was exposed, and the seal engraved on it was indeed Liu Quan, but there was one thing I never figured out, Liu Quan was Heshen's house slave, why should the tombstone be engraved with a product master, and later I learned that he was greedy for vanity.
The dwarf looked at the black tombstone, his eyes were full of doubts, and he pointed to Liu Quan and said to me: "Brother Shan, is this Liu Quan the ancestor of Liu Datou's family, let's not blame us for doing this."
I thought back to the tablet in Datoujiatang, there was no Liu Quan's name on it, and there were not a few people with the surname Liu in the vicinity, so I spit out a mouthful of phlegm, rubbed my hands and prepared to dry.
"Don't be stunned, our township is not only surnamed Liu, you have also seen the ancestral tablet of his family, when will there be this Liu Quan, dig it quickly."
I picked up the wood knife and cut down a miscellaneous tree next to me, and the dwarf was slowly digging around the grave, I glanced at the dirt he had thrown away, grabbed it and smelled it, the smell of the soil was very strange, like a poop that had been dried up for a long time, and it stinked a little.
Dropping the soil, I was attracted by a cigarette butt in the soil, picked it up and took a look, although the paper of the cigarette holder turned black, but the words on it were very clear, it was the big front door.
Could it be that Heshen had a big front door at that time?
I pondered, and suddenly found that it was not quite right, the big front door was only available at the end of the Qing Dynasty, and there was no filter when it just came out, this tomb was only afraid of being taken over, and I suddenly felt disappointed in my heart, and hurriedly shouted to the dwarf to stop.
The hoe in the dwarf's hand was stuck by something, and he turned his head and asked, "What's the matter, why stop and help me, the hoe is stuck."
I couldn't bear to hit the dwarf, so I reached out and grabbed the handle of the hoe, and pulled it out hard, only to hear a pop, and a black mass was brought out, and I glanced at it, and immediately sat on the ground in fright, and cold sweat flowed from my back.
The dwarf was also frightened, so he leaned close to me, pointed to the thing, and said, "Brother Shan, it's a dead man, let's ...... What shall we do? ”
"Damn, since you're here, whatever it is, drag it out for me and continue to dig, we don't believe in evil anymore, whether we can dig out anything, it's up to God."
With that, I strengthened my courage and dragged the half of the corpse out of the dirt, and by the dim moonlight, I found that the corpse was holding in its hand a white bone that looked like a centipede, and the bone was rotten by a great snake.
Thinking that this man had been bitten by a snake, poisoned to death here, and then buried by the soil that had fallen from the mountain, I was overjoyed to think of this, and hurriedly let the dwarf continue to plan.
Don't look at the short man is small, but he is a good hand at digging the ground, and he dug out the coffin with a few efforts, and the coffin was covered with a rotten white cloth, and it was slag off when he touched it, I thought about the silver ingots that the big head gave me back then, and looked at the bottom of the coffin, and sure enough, I found three silver ingots of ten taels under the three corners.
The dwarf stretched out his hand and took it out, and said to me with a smile: "Rich people are different, and when they die, they still use this big ingot of silver to cushion the coffin."
I didn't have the heart to talk to the dwarf, my eyes fell on the black coffin, which was not very deeply buried, and although it was close to three hundred years, it still did not decay, and I thought that this must be the golden silk nanmu used by the royal family.
The dwarf stretched out his hand and tinkered under the coffin, but he didn't want to find an embroidered shoe, so frightened that he rolled up to me and pointed to the eerie embroidered shoe.
"Shoes...... Shoes ......"
I knew that this thing was evil, but now Qihu was in a difficult situation, so I had to walk over and pick up the embroidered shoes and take a look, thinking that these shoes could not rot for three hundred years, could it be that what kind of treasure is it?
Touched it, smelled it, I knew that the shoes were full of tung oil, according to legend, He Shen has many wives, Liu Quan as his general manager, but I am afraid that there are also a lot of women, and I am afraid that the coffin is soaked in tung oil.
Throwing away the embroidered shoes, I took out a firewood knife and walked to the coffin, looked at the dwarf and said, "Open it, take it out and burn it, and you'll be fine."
The dwarf trembled, and seemed very frightened, but seeing that I didn't seem to be joking, he dragged his hoe up, and I slashed at the coffin, and looked at him.
"Rich and dangerous, if you don't have money, I'll see how you find Zhang Fang to sleep, be quick, don't wait for dawn to be discovered."
No matter when, a woman's charm is infinite, as soon as the dwarf heard about Zhang Fang, he immediately gritted his teeth and raised the hoe, smashed it at the coffin, and dug a big hole in the front of the ingot.
I took out a match and lit one, and looked inside, but there were no bones in it, only some tattered clothes, and there was no gold or silver, and I reached in and pulled out all the tattered clothes.
I thought I was going to go back empty-handed, but I didn't think that a thumb-sized bottle shook out of the tattered clothes, but I took a look, and saw that the color was very beautiful, and I didn't know it was a snuffbox at the time, so I stuffed it into my trouser pocket and asked the dwarf to pick up firewood and burn the coffin.
Because there were tung oil's corpses in the ground, the fire was burning very strongly, and the smoke was billowing out.
I touched the small bottle in my pocket, secretly glad that I was not empty-handed, but I thought to myself, how could this tomb be empty, could it be a well-dressed mound?
The dwarf touched the three silver ingots, as if they were blooming flowers, and opened his mouth to ask me: "Brother Shan, are we going to exchange money tomorrow, this time it can be sent, six hundred yuan, damn it, if Zhang Fang's father doesn't agree, I'll change it to a point and stone him to death."
Hearing the dwarf say this, I suddenly felt a sense of alarm......
