Chapter 27: Bronze Tiger Totem

It was very difficult to walk all the way forward on a rainy day, and almost everyone was listless, and suddenly a person appeared in front of us, which really scared us.

My wife and I both knew in our hearts how could there be a person in this barren mountain and wilderness, and it was still in the night on a rainy day. Unless it's the ones who want to trap us, no one is going to be here in this weather.

Although the old prostitute and I knew in our hearts what it was like to be trapped, Wang Jingang and the thin monkey didn't know, and the thin monkey thought that he had met a local, and after being stunned for a moment, he opened his mouth and shouted: "The people in front, we are lost, can you take us out?"

Originally, I wasn't worried at all, even if there was someone trapped on the other side, then I didn't feel anything to be afraid of. After all, there is only one person in front, and there are four of us here, so we all have the advantage.

But the thin monkey's shout made me a little hairy, and my heart began to beat wildly. Because the person on the other side did not move, and did not answer the thin monkey's words, it seemed that he was waiting for us to pass.

"What do you mean? Why don't you reply, it can't be that the ethnic minorities can't understand me, right?" The thin monkey glanced back at us and said to Wang Jingang: "Brother Wang, you are from Guizhou, you speak a few words of Guizhou dialect, see if he can understand."

", what age is it now, how can anyone still not understand Mandarin." Wang Jingang turned his head to me and the old prostitute and said, "I think something is wrong."

I nodded in agreement, and the old prostitute took two steps forward and shouted to the front: "I don't care who you are, we have to go over now, get away from each other, otherwise don't blame Lao Tzu for not having long eyes in the bullet in the gun."

The old prostitute did not immediately walk over after shouting, but stood in place and observed for a few seconds, and found that the person in front of him still did not move. He then pulled out his pistol and pointed it at the people in front of him, and then said to us, "Spread out, don't get caught in the fucking trap." After speaking, the old prostitute took the lead in front.

"Boss, you have to work hard, my highness." After Wang Jingang finished speaking, he glanced at the thin monkey, and I immediately understood what he meant. He wanted me to carry the thin monkey on my back, so that if there was a conflict, I wouldn't drag everyone down because of the slow running of the thin monkey.

I carried the skinny monkey on my back and followed the prostitute, always keeping a distance of five meters from the prostitute. In fact, I am also a little worried about the trap, after all, the other party is alone, since he is sure that he will stop us alone, he must be fully prepared.

I didn't feel tired carrying the thin monkey on my back, but looking at the figure in front of me, I felt a little tired because the man was motionless and stood there all the time. I had to look at him every step I took, I was afraid that he would suddenly move, after all, I didn't know what was wrong with him standing there, in case there was really any trap, and I saw him move, I had to prepare early.

The old prostitute was the first to walk in front of the man, but the old prostitute's behavior made me even more incomprehensible, he actually stood there with a flashlight, and was still taking care of the man. Although we were only five meters away, the rain was so heavy that I could only see that the man was wearing a gray-white outfit and a somewhat stout body.

When I followed the flashlight of the old prostitute and saw the man's head, I immediately put the thin monkey down. Because I found out that it was not a real person, it was a stone man.

After a few big steps, I came to the stone man, turned on the flashlight and took care of the old prostitute. If you don't take care of it carefully, you really don't know, the carving technique of the stone man is too realistic, it is simply a magic workmanship, even if we look at it closely, we also feel that the scene is terrifying, and there is no difference from the real people in ancient times. Of course, there may be some differences in color, but in the current light, whoever sees it will mistake it for a real person.

Although the clothes carved on the stone man are ancient costumes, they have a modern style, and they are not the costumes of the ancient Central Plains people at first glance. The stone man's upper body has no sleeves, and the lower body is also exposed to the knees, much like a person wearing a shoulder and a large trousers.

Obviously, this is a stone figurine, which was used for burial, but there is one thing I don't understand. The stone figurines are usually carved tall and mighty, which means guarding the cemetery and protecting the tomb owner, and is a symbol of the cemetery guard. However, this stone figurine did not look like a guardian by any means, and its two arms did not hold weapons, nor did it stand neatly, but kept its hands to make directions.

One of its hands, crossed from the front of its abdomen, pointed to one side, and it pointed in the same direction as the rain flowed.

"Huh," the old prostitute let out a cry of surprise from behind the stone man.

I quickly turned around and saw that the old prostitute was looking at the back of the stone man. There is a small fist-sized groove on the back of the stone man, and a bronze tiger is placed in it.

The old prostitute touched it twice with a flashlight and found that the bronze tiger inside was not put in, but fixed in the stone. Then he broke it twice with his hand, but he still didn't take out the bronze tiger inside.

"Oh my god, how the fuck got it in."

I also tried it, and found that it was impossible to move the bronze tiger inside, not to mention that it was impossible to move it inside.

At this time, Wang Jingang also came to the stone man, saw the bronze tiger in the stone trough, and said: "This seems to be the bronze tiger totem of Yelang Kingdom."

Seeing that Wang Jingang understood this, the old prostitute and I both flashed aside and let him take a closer look alone.

Wang Jingang looked at it for a while and said, "It is indeed a copper tiger, this is the totem of Yelang Kingdom."

Hearing Wang Jingang say this, I muttered in my heart, thinking that it is possible that there is a tomb in Yelang Kingdom near here. And judging from this stone figurine, if there is really a tomb, it must be a big tomb. In ancient times, it was impossible for ordinary people to have stone figurines to accompany their burials, even wealthy merchants and local officials could not have this configuration, and only princes and nobles could enjoy this kind of treatment.

In fact, few people know Yelang Country, but there is an idiom that many people know, "Yelang is arrogant" refers to Yelang Country. Yelang Kingdom was a small country founded by ethnic minorities in the southwest region during the Qin and Han dynasties, and although it was small, it always maintained its autonomy and had a history of about 300 years. During the Warring States Period, the princes of the Central Plains were fighting, and the Yelang Kingdom was not involved in the war, and it was at that time that the Yelang Kingdom began to gradually become stronger.

"Let's go, don't look at it, even if there are mountains of gold and silver here, we can't take them out. While it's still raining, let's go. The old prostitute said.

This is the first time I have heard such a refusal to pay off money, and it is this sentence that shows how dangerous we are now.

"You've finally come to your senses, and it looks like I'm going to have to be impressed with you." I said to the old prostitute as I walked.

"My day, Lao Tzu's consciousness has always been very high, okay, when did the consciousness ever be low."

"You weren't like this before, when you encounter something valuable, you have to take something out of your life." I said.

"I haven't changed now, who can take it and not take it, it's a fool not to take it."

"Then why don't you study for a while, maybe you can still find the tomb of Yelang Kingdom." I continued, "Honestly, do you think we're in danger right now?"

"No, I'm going with the flow." The old prostitute replied.

"Go with the flow? What do you mean?" I didn't understand what the old prostitute was saying.

"Didn't you see that the direction of the stone figurine's finger was the same as the direction we were walking? If we encounter the ancient tomb of Yelang Country, we will do a vote, if we don't encounter it, it can only be said that our fate is not good. But it's okay, as long as we go out, we still have a chance to come back in the future. ”

I looked at the old prostitute with a speechless face, and said in my heart, okay! It turns out that you haven't changed at all, and you are still the virtue that sees money.
