It hadn't been back for more than a decade, and the dragon still looked the same, the ground was covered with leaves, and the walls on both sides of the yard were planted with tall plane trees with yellowing leaves. The air was filled with a sense of peace and calm, and I pointed to the faucet and said, "Fatty, are you sure this faucet can move?" ”

"Sure!" The fat man nodded affirmatively, and I immediately walked over, stood next to the dragon's head, and looked carefully, but I didn't see anything except the stone bottom, and the notches on the dragon's head were only similar to dragon scales, without any traces of spell casting. I reached out and tugged, and there were no signs of breaking on either side of the dragon's mouth, and it didn't feel like there was a mechanism.

"It doesn't look like this thing moves, there's no mechanism." I said strangely.

The fat man immediately shouted, "Impossible! I was watching it for real! ”

I took a few steps back, thought for a moment, and said, "Where were you peeing?" ”

"Holy shit, how do I remember that? It's all when I was a kid, but ...... It seems to be this position, because I have my back to the dragon's head, but not the front, so I have to turn a little sideways......" The fat man walked forward with the remaining memories, stood in his position, and said to me. I stepped forward and looked down, and it was just a wall, but there was a hole in the corner, and it was so small that it was about two fingers wide, and I couldn't see how deep it was.

I squatted down, beckoned and said, "Xiao Luo, give me the kettle." ”

Xiao Luo handed it over strangely, I unscrewed the kettle and poured it into this small black hole, the water flowed into the hole and made a "gurgling" sound, obviously there was still a certain depth below, and after only a second or two, there was a strange sound behind me, this sound was similar to the cry of a tiger, but it was lighter than the cry of a tiger. When the fat man heard this, he immediately shouted: "Head to head!" That's the cry! I looked back, and the dragon head sculpture slowly opened its mouth, and then it closed one by one, and it moved!

"Damn, it's really moving!" The fat man said in surprise, as if the expression on his whole face was the first time he had seen it. I put away the kettle and walked over, and at this time I could see that there were no cracks on both sides of the dragon's mouth, but the tongue that seemed to be dead in its mouth was actually not dead, and there was a small mechanism under the tongue that could lift the dragon's tongue, and when the dragon's tongue was raised, it would press down, and it looked like a closed mouth from a distance.

I stared at the dragon's mouth for a while, but there wasn't too much water just poured into it, so the dragon's tongue didn't move after a few strokes. I pursed my lips and said, "There seems to be something under my tongue." ”

"I also saw it, it seems to be a stone stick...... Yuan Feng hurriedly said after hearing my voice, I turned back to Luo Qiong and shouted: "Xiao Luo, you continue to pour water into that hole, don't stop pouring it slowly!" ”

Luo Qiong nodded, and after walking to the side of the small cave, he controlled the amount of water to be filled, so that the water flowed into the cave little by little. After a while, the tongue in the dragon's mouth began to rise little by little, perhaps because the water on Xiao Luo's side had been pouring, so the tongue was pushed up but not put down. We looked closely, and sure enough, we found an object in the shape of a stone stick in the dragon's mouth, which was stuck under the tongue in the dragon's mouth, and it seemed to be covered by the dragon's tongue.

"There's something!" The fat man said in surprise, I nodded, and reached inside, in fact, it is more risky to do so, reach inside without any protective measures, in case there is a mechanism in the dragon's head, my hand and even my life may be put into it. But fortunately, things were not as serious as I thought, and I reached the stone stick with my finger and flicked it slightly, and the stone stick was movable, that is, it was not part of the dragon's head, which further confirmed my suspicion. It seems that this tongue is pressed and used as a cover for this stone short stick.

I fiddled out little by little, and the stone stick was pulled out by me little by little, and held it in my hand. It's a little heavy, it's black on the surface, it doesn't look special, and it's about the same length as my thumb, with a slender strip at one end and a round end at the other.

After Luo Qiong stopped pouring water, the dragon's mouth returned to normal, and I put the black stone stick in the sun to look at it, but I didn't see anything. Luo Qiong asked strangely, "What is this?" It doesn't look like a valuable treasure or a magic weapon with mana. ”

I couldn't say it, but I heard Yuan Feng beside me speak: "Brother Shan, this thing looks a bit like a key." ”

Not to mention, her reminder is really a bit similar, it really looks a little like the key!

"Why is the key in the mouth of the faucet? And it's hidden with such an ingenious mechanism, is it so important? I lowered my head, feeling that I couldn't tell why, the fat man and they had scattered around looking for places that looked like keyholes, but they looked for a few places that looked like them, and finally proved that they were not right.

"I don't think it's a problem to look for it like this, so it's better to ask Senior Guan when he comes." As I was talking, the sound of a car suddenly came from outside the ancestral hall, and a few of us who heard the movement thought it was Guan Lao, and hurriedly walked out. I saw a small bus stopped, and several people got out of the car, all wearing suits, and two of them were holding documents and papers in their hands.

"Who?" Luo Qiong asked strangely, a few people on the opposite side looked east and west, and some took pictures with cameras, and walking in the middle was a woman in a suit, looking very similar to those working women seen on TV, with a wavy head and big black sunglasses, very foreign.

They came and saw us, and after they looked at each other, a man with thick glasses came up to him and asked, "What unit are you from?" ”

"We're not from any unit, we're just passing by and coming in to have a look." The fat man said.

"Oh, then you can't come in, we have already bought this land, and it will be developed soon, and it will be a private place in the future, and you outsiders are not allowed to enter casually."

I frowned, and the fat man said a little unhappily, "What are you doing!" Coaxing, isn't it? It's strange, the road belongs to the state, the land belongs to the people, why don't people be allowed to walk? ”

"Hey! Why are you talking so angrily, this young man, I'm talking to you, why are you yelling? The other party was also a little unhappy, the fat man muttered and was about to scold, I reached out and pulled his hand and shook his head and said, "Forget it, I can't see the reason for it today, let's go." ”

After saying that, I took the lead to leave, but I heard the man with glasses shouting, "Don't come in the future, or the police will arrest you!" ”

I raised my eyebrows, turned around dissatisfied, and said, "If you want to call the police and arrest you, my name is Ba Xiaoshan, and the next time you arrest someone, remember to tell the police comrade my name." ”

After speaking, without waiting for the man to speak, he walked towards the road he came, and the fat man sighed and said, "I knew that I would have driven the car over, blocked their car, and let them cross." However, it is also sad to say that the ancestral hall that was not demolished during the Cultural Revolution is now about to be demolished, but it has become legal. Times are changing, and many old things can't be saved, what's the difference between demolishing at this time and demolishing it then......"

I sighed, what the fat man said is also reasonable, with the progress of society and the times, it seems that we are losing some important things, the inheritance and heritage of our ancestors are being swallowed up by more modern things, this today's children do not know what other historical masterpieces are in ancient times except for the four famous books. A while ago, an eight or nine-year-old doll in my father's neighbor's house suddenly asked me what the first dynasty in Chinese history was. I subconsciously said "Xia", but the kid said proudly: "You are wrong, it is the Qin Dynasty, no culture!" ”

As he was walking forward, he hadn't taken many steps, when he suddenly heard someone shouting, "Two of you." ”

I turned around strangely and saw a man in black talking, and the fat man said impatiently, "What's the matter?" This road will not let us go either? ”

"No, it's our boss who wants to talk to this Mr. Ba, don't you know it's convenient?"
