Chapter 4: The Moving Reeds

Thinking of the roar outside, I also felt a little cautious, and involuntarily got into the bed, and from time to time I could hear the roar outside. I didn't think about it, I simply covered my head and was sleeping, this kang was burned very hot, and the feeling of being warm lying in it was unconsciously sleepy.

Just when I was sleepy, I felt the house shake a little, and suddenly I heard a rustling sound in my ears, and it was very loud. When I opened my eyes, Boss Wang didn't even have time to put on his coat in a hurry, and shouted: "It's not good." "Immediately rushed out of the house. When I saw this, I thought there was an earthquake, so I immediately got up and ran outside.

By the time I ran out of the house, several people had already come out of the house, and all eyes were on the reeds around me. The rustling sound never stopped, and there was no direction for it, because it was heard all around. Boss Wang climbed into the cargo compartment of the truck, looked into the distance, and said to himself: "It's over, it's over, it's moving again, the road is repaired." ”

The elder brother walked over and asked, "Can you still find a location?" ”

"The location can be found, but the road is in vain, and someone has to be sent to repair it tomorrow." Boss Wang replied.

"As long as you can find a location, there will be people coming tomorrow who can help you build a new road."

"That's not necessary, I have enough people, but I have been observing for half a year, and I haven't been able to find the law of reed movement."

"The government has been observing here for half a century, and it has not found the right pattern." The elder brother comforted.

I couldn't understand what the two of them said, so I also climbed into the cargo compartment of the truck, and looked in the direction that Boss Wang was looking at just now.

There is no pattern in this movement, and the river channel, which should have been clearly visible, has been separated by pieces of reeds, and there are also patches of reeds, constantly shuttling through the intricate river. It's like an ant on a hot pan, east and west.

Someone brought a flashlight, and it is said that this kind of flashlight can shine as far as a kilometer, and this is the first time I have seen it. If you look in the direction of the flashlight, it is indeed very far away, and you can see it clearly. The reeds that the flashlight shines on, changing positions rapidly, this speed is really jaw-dropping, like a reed running, at least faster than I can run.

It's just that the direction of the reeds is very different, I set my eyes on a moving reed, left and right, moving horizontally, vertically and again, interspersed with some reeds, constantly changing positions. Looking at its trajectory, it was as if it was hiding from something, hiding it for a while, hiding it for a while, and there was no intention of stopping.

After watching for a while, the reeds were still moving, and everyone began to go back to the house one after another to sleep. Seeing that the reeds around us were not moving, and there was nothing to worry about, I followed back to the house to get ready to go back to bed. But the rustling sound in his ears kept ringing, and it was difficult to fall asleep, and when he looked at it again, Boss Wang was not sleeping, frowning, holding a cigarette in his hand, and kept smoking.

"Can you tell me what's going on?" I stared at Boss Wang and asked.

He didn't seem to hear what I said, but was thinking about something, and I said it again, and he heard it, and replied, "This reed swing does not move except in the winter when it freezes, and the rest of the time it may move." ”

"I heard from my senior brother that you determined the location of the ancient tomb in this reed swing half a year ago?"

"Hey! I'm ashamed to say that I haven't been able to grasp the law of the reed swing here after observing it for half a year, little brother, what do I call you? ”

I hurriedly responded: "Call me, Xiao Qi, just do it." ”

"Little Seventh Brother, don't underestimate the reed swing in front of you, it's not an ordinary reed swing." I nodded, and I had realized from the fact that I had seen the reeds moving in the distance that this was no ordinary place. He continued: "There is no map to refer to, and the reeds are constantly changing the location of the river. Originally, I thought that every month there would only be a phenomenon of reed movement on the fifteenth day of the full moon and the thirtieth day without a moon, but after observing it for a while, I found that this was not the case at all, and the reed movement was irregular. I don't know when it will be in motion, I sent people here to monitor the climate change, the temperature difference changes, but the final result is not, it has nothing to do with the climate and temperature difference. There is no indication of what specific conditions it will exercise in, and the only thing that is known is that it only moves at night and never during the day. Even many geologists don't understand how movement happens, and the explanation given is that it is affected by the natural environment. No substantive conclusions. ”

Listening to what Boss Wang said, I suddenly felt that I had misunderstood the person in front of me, and I thought that the senior brother had found a waste material, and it took half a year to determine the exact location. But now that he says this, I feel that he has done a lot of things, and it is really not easy to find the exact location of the ancient tomb in the moving reeds.

After chatting with him politely, I fell asleep, as for when the reed dang stopped moving, I don't know, but I believe that Boss Wang must know, because I vaguely feel that he hasn't slept all night.

When I woke up, it was already three poles in the morning, and Boss Wang was no longer in the house, and I wanted to ask him when the reeds would stop, but the others were no longer here. Hearing from them, he took his people out early to take a ride.

I stretched my waist and looked at the reeds around me, but I didn't notice anything unusual, and I heard someone call me out from behind. "Uncle Seven, are you here too?"

I looked back and saw that it was Ma Tianming, the kid, and asked, "When did you come?" Is your master here? ”

"I've been here for a few days, and I've been living in the row house over there." Stretched out his finger and pointed to the depths of the reeds, and then said: "The master asked us to come, and there are a few people who came together, the master should still be in Chengdu, maybe there is a big business over there, let us go to him when we are done." ”

As soon as I heard him say that he lived in another row house, I wondered again, what happened to this senior brother, did so many people be used for the next tomb? Now this row house is enough to move the entire imperial tomb out, how can there be a row house, no, I have to go and see.

"Will you go back later?"

"Go back, I'll go back immediately, I'm here to pull the springboard, the road I used to take is gone, I have to take it again, the springboard over there is not enough, let me come and pull some over." Ma Tianming pointed to the springboard and said.

I didn't ask anyone for permission, I just told An Tong that Ma Tianming and I were going over there to have a look, and I followed him to another row room. This row house is even bigger than the one we live in, with seven or eight more rooms, and it seems that there are many people living there, but I only see the people who are cooking, but I don't see anyone else.

I asked where the others had gone? He said that they were all building in the reeds, and that he was going to send the gangplank over later, and I saw that it was empty, and I followed.

After walking a little further distance into the reeds, I looked back and looked at it, almost, this should be the place where the reeds moved in blocks last night, and looked at the reeds around me, as if nothing had happened, and I didn't find the reeds that had fallen because of the movement. Squatting down and looking at the roots of the reeds and the shallow water, there was not a trace of movement.

Looking at the reeds in front of me, I couldn't tell that I had exercised last night, and some of the reeds were connected into a large area, and I couldn't see the separation point of the soil at the roots, and the river was still flowing normally. It was as if we had a collective hallucination last night, and there was no difference in the reeds.

Actually, it's just my feelings, last night's reed movement was a fact. I haven't been here before, so I don't know what the reed swing looked like before the road, and it is estimated that the person who has seen the most reed swing movement recently should be Boss Wang. But there was no trace of movement left, which is really strange.

I didn't want to go inside, I guess I should see the same, I decided to go back, when I walked back a few steps, the reeds next to me, rustling the sound of the reed leaves rubbing, and then I saw that the reeds were shaking constantly.
