Chapter 100: Skeletons
||->-> body
A few minutes later, two young men carrying shovels and walking behind Lin Xiruo.
"This Li Hao, the captain of Xiaogezhuang's production team. This is Li Hao's cousin, Zhou Peng. Lin Xiruo introduced: "The two of them are very enthusiastic and volunteer to help dig the soil." β
Ding Ermiao took a look, this Li Hao is strangely young, he became the captain of the production team at twenty-one and two, he is really promising, and he must be the material of the village chief or the village party secretary in the future. That Zhou Peng is even younger, and the appearance of a student boy seems to be a student at home during the summer vacation.
"Sister, talk here." Ding Ermiao pulled Lin Xiruo and walked a few steps, and said in a low voice: "Sister, let you borrow a shovel, how did you arrest such a big official as the production captain to be a strong man?" Do people know that what we are going to dig up is a skeleton? β
"I don't know, I didn't dare to say it, for fear of causing panic among the villagers." Lin Xiruo said.
"And you're still calling someone to dig up the soil? Wait until a dead person is dug up and scared people? β
Lin Xiruo stretched out his hands: "I can't help it, I guess they think we are digging treasure here, and we are going to come alive or dead!" "{δΈ} book % bar { small } said 3w.wanshuba
Ding Ermiao thought for a while, turned around, and said to Li Hao: "Comrade production captain, thank you for your support to our work. Now you can leave your shovels behind, and go back and rest. When the shovels run out, I'll send them back to you. β
"You city people are not used to using these farm tools." Li Hao smiled very slyly and said, "Hehe...... we are idle at home, so we will come to volunteer to help, don't ask you for your salary, don't be afraid." β
Zhou Peng nodded again and again on the side, echoing casually.
I'm afraid? Ding Ermiao was happy in his heart, okay, since you must stay, I will fulfill you. Wait a minute, whether you're afraid or I'm afraid!
"Well, in that case, it's time to work hard to produce Captain." Ding Ermiao broke a peach branch, pointed and said: "Come, dig the soil in this area, after digging to a depth of three feet, you should lower the shovel slowly, don't dig up the things underground." β
"Okay!" Li Hao agreed, and threw off his arms with Zhou Peng. Li Weinian operated the "stir-fry spatula" and also joined the ranks of digging soil.
Everyone stood aside, silently watching. Xie Guoren looked stunned, sitting on a stone pier in the backyard, stunned. Xie Caiwei was obviously aware of her father's mood swings, but she didn't want to ask, and she was worried about staying on the side.
The ground in the backyard has obviously not been excavated for many years, and the soil is difficult and the grass roots are densely entangled in the middle, making it extremely laborious to dig.
It's just that after a dozen shovels went down, Li Hao and Zhou Peng began to pant and sweat. It was Li Weinian, although his hands were injured and his tools were not used, but a spade and a spade came very solidly, more than Li Hao and Zhou Peng turned out together.
"Do you know what the owner of this family is called?" Lin Xiruo asked Li Hao, who was working.
Li Hao shook his head: "I don't know." β
Ding Ermiao was directly speechless and asked, "You are the captain of the production team, but you can't figure out the specific situation of the villagers?" β
"Like...... The surname is Zhong, right? Li Hao thought for a while and said:
"I heard my father say that this house used to belong to a five-guarantee household, and later it was sold to this foreigner surnamed Zhong. For more than ten years, the surname Zhong did not come, and the house was always empty. A few years ago, there was a villager whose house fell down and there was no place to live, so he moved in to live, but it was haunted in the middle of the night, and the family was scared to go to the city to pick up the rags, and in recent years, it is said that he opened a large scrap collection station, made a fortune, bought a Mercedes-Benz, and raised a small three-......"
"I know, I know, let's get to work." Ding Ermiao hurriedly interrupted Li Hao's words.
This production captain is too good to say, and if he continues, he will talk about the eighteenth generation of ancestors and all relatives of the family who picked up the rags and made a fortune. With such good eloquence, being a production captain is a waste of talent, and he should go to the United States to be the chairman of the parliament.
Li Hao smiled: "Hehe, if you want to know about the situation of this surnamed Zhong, you have to ask the elderly in the village." β
Two shovels and a sapper can't stop flying. Gradually, the pit was dug up to a point in size, and it was about two feet deep.
Seeing Li Hao straighten up and wipe his sweat, Ding Ermiao glanced at Wan Shugao.
Wan Shugao understood, took out a cigarette from his pocket, and walked up to cheer up: "Dude, let's have a cigarette, in the end, he is a person who has exercised in the vast world of the countryside, and he can work fast and well." Especially the comrade of the production captain, who is good at farming and the backbone of building a new countryside. β
Li Hao took the cigarette, lit it, took two puffs very old-fashioned, grinned, and said:
"Dude, don't make fun of me. As the captain of the production team, I don't care about spring plowing and production, nor do I care about family planning. I usually work outside, tired and tired, walking against the wall and peeing yellow. In the production team, that is, an idle job, receives an annual subsidy of 2,000 yuan. What is the backbone of building a new countryside? You are a dog biting through rags, making it clear that we rural people are ......"
"......, I didn't say it." The sycophant was exposed, Wan Shugao's face turned red, and he lowered his head depressedly and lit a cigarette to hide his embarrassment.
Everyone burst into laughter, and the originally depressing atmosphere was slightly eased.
After taking a breath, Li Weinian and Li Hao and Zhou Peng continued to exert their strength.
After another ten minutes, the pit on the ground was dug to about three feet.
Ding Ermiao waved his hand and motioned for everyone to pause. He jumped into the pit and slowly scratched away the floating soil with the sharpened peach branches in his hand, very carefully, like an archaeologist cleaning up the artifacts of an ancient tomb.
After a short effort, a small area was exposed in the pit, glowing with white light. Continuing to remove the floating soil, everyone saw clearly that what was revealed was a white plastic film.
"Comrade production captain, the things down here are probably a little scary." Ding Ermiao squatted in the dirt pit, raised his head and said, "I think, you and your cousin, let's avoid it." β
"There are so many of you here, you are not afraid, why am I afraid?" Li Hao said indifferently: "Let's take a look, I also want to know, what kind of treasure is down here." β
He and Zhou Peng worked hard for a long time, didn't they just wait for the final mystery? Now tell him to leave, of course he is not happy.
"Okay, let's take a look. Come, continue to clean up the floating soil on it, start digging from all sides, and don't step on the film. Lightly start with your hands, and don't break the film. β
Ding Ermiao nodded and let them continue to work. I thought to myself, anyway, I reminded you, wait until you're scared to pee your pants, but you can't blame me.
The next excavation was relatively smooth. Twenty minutes later, a plastic film the size of a mattress mat was completely displayed in front of everyone. The film is relatively thick, and it is not damaged at all.
Everyone gathered around the pit, all nervous. The beads of sweat on Xie Guoren's head couldn't be wiped clean at all. With the support of the two security guards, his legs were still trembling, and his trousers were automatically windless and trembling.
Ding Ermiao looked at Li Weinian, and the two of them grabbed a corner of the film at the same time and slowly lifted it.
A black human skeleton appears beneath the membrane.
"Ahββ!h
Li Hao pounced, sat on the ground, clutched his chest and couldn't speak. Zhou Peng also screamed, threw away the shovel in his hand, and ran away. But after running two steps, he stopped again and walked back tremblingly.
Originally, they thought that there was some treasure buried in the ground, but they never expected that it would be a skeleton.
Over there, as soon as Xie Guoren's body weakened, he was about to fall. The two bodyguards held him up and helped him to sit down on the stone pier just now.
Ding Ermiao took the time to glance at it, only to see two lines of tears rolling down from the corners of Xie Guoren's eyes.
Under the skeleton, there was a piece of jade of unknown material, and the cold air was emitting upwards. Because it is protected by a film, the skeleton is very well preserved, and every bone can be clearly seen.
The skeleton lies on its back, its limbs wide open. In the palm of his hand and the surface of his feet, as well as in the position of his chest, there was a small copper sword four or five inches long, stained with green rust.
Ding Ermiao looked back, and then looked at the skeleton in the dirt pit, and sure enough, as he had speculated, the skeleton's limbs and head each pointed to a peach tree in the yard.
Suddenly, Xie Caiwei burst out with a heart-rending cry: "Dad, why is there a bracelet by her side, which is exactly the same as mine?" This person...... Isn't itγIsn't it my mother?! β
Ding Ermiao looked down, and sure enough, on the left hand side of the skeleton, there was a crystal jasper bracelet that was broken in two.
"Sister Caiwei, don't ask anything now." Ding Ermiao stepped forward, grabbed Xie Caiwei's shoulders and said, "Hurry up and send your father to the hospital, he needs to be quiet." If you are stimulated again, the consequences will be severe. β
"Ermiao ......" Xie Caiwei's tears were blurred, and she was pitiful.
"Listen to me, Sister Caiwei. Hurry up and take your father to the hospital, I will help you find out what is going on here, and make it clear to you, and never hide anything. β
"Okay," Xie Caiwei wiped away a handful of tears, looked back at the skeletons in the dirt pit, and asked a few bodyguards to pick up her almost paralyzed father Xie Guoren and walk through the hall.
Listen to Xie Cai
