Chapter 41: The Old Sheepskin of the Tomb Robber (Part II)

But the old sheepskin does not have such a high consciousness and ideological consciousness at all, and now in those complete sets of words, he also knows some words, and will also say that this is the situation at that time, but to specifically talk about the specific meaning, where the value is, he is completely confused, and he is full of thoughts, hearing these as if he did not hear, lowered his head and did not say a word, just sighed incessantly.

I sighed, waved my hand to the fat man, signaled him not to read from the book at length, I said to the old sheepskin: "We don't grasp the outline, the second does not grasp the line, and the third does not mention the class struggle, and I said from the heart to the heart, I and the fat man came to see our comrade-in-arms Ding Sitian from the Great Xing'an Mountains, and it turned out that your cattle were lost, it stands to reason that there is nothing for us here, but the two of us did not hesitate at all, and risked our lives to help you and Ding Sitian find cattle, from yesterday to today, how much blood was shed, how much sweat you have seen, Almost took your life, and you? ”

I said this deliberately in a heavier tone: "And you? Our most respected old comrades of the poor and middle peasants, we don't even know which of your words is true, can you tell us this matter clearly for the sake of us almost dying in the Hundred Eyes Cave...... If you still have a little conscience, I promise that what happened in the past is not to blame, as long as it does not involve today's conspiracy, we will all rot this in our stomachs, but due to the current environmental factors in which we live, and our own safety considerations, you must give us a reasonable explanation. ”

Although I said this in a planned way, and wanted to attack the heart, it was all from the bottom of my heart, and the old sheepskin was obviously moved by me, and he asked me to fill him with tobacco leaves, and took two puffs of it, and kept coughing, and talked about the past intermittently.

The old sheepskin and his brother sheep and eggs have been herding sheep for a living since childhood, often there is a meal without a meal, life is miserable, in the two of them were teenagers, once the sheep and eggs were hungry, stole the landlord's mutton, and the landlord beat him to death, his brothers could not eat this meal to beat, and the old landlord was pushed to the ground in the resistance, not thinking that the landlord was also damned, and hit the temple on the stone grinder, and then he whined.

Killing people to pay for their lives, paying off debts, since ancient times, it is natural and righteous, if you have a life, you have to give someone a life, what if you don't want to die? Then you can only flee incognito, the two brothers did not dare to stay in their hometown, fled overnight, relying on their youth, and familiar with the surrounding ravines and ravines, evaded the pursuit of the government, all the way to hide and fled to the south of the Yellow River, the old sheepskin ancestor is the origin of the roaring Qin dialect, the family will sing Zhao Zilong Nagasaka Savior, the two have no way to make a living, they rely on the Shaanxi people who play shadow puppets to help fight the box to cross the day, and more than ten years have passed in a flash.

At that time, the world was very chaotic, one day the old sheepskin and the sheep and the two eggs went to the countryside with the troupe to perform, unfortunately met the bandits, the female class owner was a little disobedient, and the bandits pulled out their clothes and cut them into a "human stick", and most of the rest of the people also fled, the old sheepskin fled into a cave in the nearby mountains with the sheep and the eggs, I didn't think that there was an ancient tomb in the cave, the pavilions in the deepest underground palace were like the emperor's garden, of course, the old sheepskin had not seen what the emperor's house was like, it was estimated that it was similar to the appearance in this cave, it was simply into the heavenly palace, The two of them wandered around the underground palace and inadvertently saved the life of a Taoist priest, who was also young, a few years younger than the sheep and the second egg, and his speech and demeanor were by no means the same idle people.

The most unexpected thing for them is that this Taoist priest kills people more ruthlessly than bandits, heard that their class master was killed by bandits, so they let them wait in the cave for a while, and after going out for a while, they came back with a string of heads, and the brothers looked at the heads, it was the gang of bandits who blocked the road and killed them, although it was evil and evil retribution, but the old sheepskin was the right person, looking at this bloody and blurred human head, I couldn't help but feel frightened, but then look at the young Taoist, it seems that I didn't take killing seriously at all.

And this young Taoist is very righteous, a little water, willing to repay the spring, avenging the two brothers, not to mention, but also to give them a sum of money, the old sheepskin is worried that this Taoist priest is also a murderous horse thief, how dare to accept his property, the young Taoist priest saw that they did not accept, so he led them to a rich man's house surnamed Chen, let the surname Chen take care of them in the future, and then left in a hurry, leaving without leaving his name.

The person surnamed Chen is not very old, although he is very respectful to the young Taoist, but he himself is also a figure with hands and eyes, there are many brothers, there are many antiquities at home, often do some tricks, and this person is born with good eloquence, can speak well, and his mouth is like a river, at the beginning of this person surnamed Chen, arranged for the old sheepskin and sheep and two eggs to be kept in his big house, and did not take them as a person, only let them help do some easy odd jobs, three tea and four meals a day, delicious and good drink, Give them some money every month and let them buy whatever they want.

The old sheepskin is born to be hard, which has received this kind of treatment, I feel that I don't want to go, I want to help others do some rough work, but there are people who do it, they want to do it and they don't have their share, and then after a long time, their brothers finally knew that this surnamed Chen, it turned out to be a Jiangyang thief who robbed the tomb and dug the grave, but people not only do not feel ashamed, but also quite reasonable, what's the big deal, if you want to become a big right, you must lose a small section, this is called sharing the spoils and gathering righteousness, conspiring to do big things, not to mention digging a few wasted graves, the tomb of the emperor Lao Tzu has not been dug.

Later, the old sheepskin and sheep and two eggs also joined the gang, for several years, and the surname Chen learned a lot of inverted skills, this group of people can identify grass-colored soil marks, will "a thousand poles circle holes" and "through the ridge to take the tomb" of the technique, and often pretend to be Mr. Feng Shui everywhere to inquire about the news, the eyeliner is very wide, as soon as there is a move, it is dozens of hundreds of people out, not only upside down, passing by the rich and unkind big households, often also by the way, it is a bit of a Liangshan hero, but once the leader surnamed Chen took a group of brothers south to do a big deal, Due to the long distance, there were not too many people who went, and it is likely that they had an accident in the south, and none of them failed to return, and all of them were missing.

After the disappearance of the robber, the tree fell and scattered, and some of the people went to the south to find the whereabouts of the leader, and some went their separate ways, and the old sheepskin also planned to go south, but the sheep and the two of them discussed with another tomb robber from the northeast, and the two of them wanted to go to the three eastern provinces together.
