Chapter 123: Tong Yan
The old man's attainments in feng shui tomb hunting are not comparable to me at all, and even my master Lao Lu is inferior to him by three points. Early this morning, the old man climbed the mountain to ask for directions to the sky, and locked the exact location of the "Zi Bu Yu Tomb" around the small lake at the foot of the mountain, no more than 50 meters to the left and right. This kind of ability to deduce heavenly opportunities, I dare to bet on my third aunt's footcloth, we are all Chinese masters in the open and in the dark, and there will never be more than three people.
The old man walked to the lake and wanted to use a probe to prick out the exact location of the entrance to the tomb, so that when we woke up, we would not have to delay a minute, and we could start digging directly with a hoe and a crowbar. But what the old man never expected was that there was "dead soil" within a radius of 50 meters around the lakeside, so how could there be any ancient tombs?
Dead soil, also called raw soil.
It's a word in the archaeology industry.
The so-called dead soil, simply put, is the soil that has not been dug up since ancient times. We all know that to build a mausoleum, we must first choose a site, after choosing, we have to dig up the place, and then transport the bricks and timber to the bottom to build, after the mausoleum is built, then fill in the original soil, and erect a monument on it, and this is the end of the matter.
Hundreds of years later, the tombstone is naturally gone in the wind and sun, but the soil will not change, the soil that has been dug up, its soil structure has undergone drastic changes, become loose and soft, and become living soil, experienced tomb robbers only need to use a probe to try it.
The old man used a probe to pierce the area around the lakeside, but found that the soil here was harder than his second uncle's brain, that is, this place had not been dug up at all, so there could be no ancient tomb. At this moment, the old man's situation is as if the sky told him: the ancient tomb is by the lake. But the earth told him that the tomb was not by the lake.
In this way, even the old man with great powers was completely confused, he sat by the lake in frustration, his mind was turbulent, and he asked himself again and again: "What is wrong?" ”
……
……
Over the next three days, we increased the scope of our search, from 50 to 100 meters around the lake. Then, it was increased to two hundred meters. Eventually, I've increased my search range to a radius of 500 meters!
The old man told us that he dared to vouch with his head that the tomb of Zi Buyu was in this area, but the strange thing was that we searched back and forth in this area with probes, but we could not find a single "living soil". As I said above, in the next three days we expanded our search area to a radius of 500 meters, but we still found nothing.
After three days of loss, on the fourth day, the initial momentum of everyone has obviously been almost consumed. Er Biao was the first to lose his breath, and he said to the old man: "The area around Cuomei Peak is so big, we can't hang ourselves on a tree, or ...... Let's take a look elsewhere? ”
The old man glared at him, obviously a little angry, and now, although everyone didn't say anything, they couldn't help but secretly beat the drum in their hearts: "Is this old man really credible?" ”
The old man knew that every time we pierced the dead soil in the past three days, it was undoubtedly a slap in the face for him, but he also knew that his judgment on feng shui and acupoints would never be wrong.
The old man said to us in a low voice: "Everyone, I still say the same thing, my old man dares to vouch with his head, the tomb is around the small lake, I will not go anywhere else, if you don't want to believe me anymore, then I won't bother you anymore." You can use the instrument to find it, or call in another expert, but that's all your business. ”
I hurriedly persuaded: "Old man, you said that you are also stubborn, just like an old donkey." Isn't this a three-day stuffy job, and you can't help but complain, you understand, okay? Okay, okay, let's not say a word. Erbiao, you too, don't look at what time it is, you're still pulling calves here, hurry up and go out to work, otherwise the foreman will deduct his wages for a while. You are a poor middle peasant, what are you pointing out here? When you become a technician like an old man, it's not too late for you to express your opinion again, go and go, hurry. ”
Er Biao listened to my words, and said angrily while carrying the probe and walking out: "Comrade *** said that the workers and peasants are the most glorious. What's so great about a technician......"
On the fourth day, we started a new day's work in the noise of complaining to each other, just like three days ago, everyone continued to take the lake as the center, scattered, clockwise, counterclockwise, anyway, how comfortable how to come, one person a probe, just around the small lake non-stop search and investigation.
At noon, Mr. Jia and Mr. Jia Dong brought us food, Mr. Jia knew that we were all in a bad mood, so he specially made a lot of delicious food, wanting to comfort us, I was already hungry, as soon as I smelled the aroma of meat, I immediately threw away the probe in my hand, and the first one ran over, opened the vegetable basket and looked, good guy! Pork knuckle soup, braised pork ribs, tamales, dumplings stuffed with cabbage, and even a jar of tiger bone wine warmed with hot water. My face bloomed with joy, and I asked with a smile, "Old man Jia, where are you singing?" Good guys, why are there so many hard dishes, it won't be Women's Day today, right? ”
Old man Jia was amused by me, and said angrily: "You kid has a poor mouth, and good wine and good food can't stop you from talking about the mountains, hurry up, call everyone to come over for dinner, and only when you have a full stomach can you have the strength to do the revolution!" ”
I held a piece of pork rib in my hand, and as I gnawed, I shouted to the other companions, "Brothers, it's time to eat!" ”
But why do these deflated calves shout at me?
No, as soon as I smelled the smell of meat, everyone threw away the probe in their hands, and after a while, they all gathered over, Er Biao's quality is too poor, as if he hadn't eaten for 30 years, he couldn't wait to take off his socks and jump into the pot to fish for meat, I asked him if he could pay attention to the image, but he was like an old chief, patted me on the shoulder meaningfully, and said to me in a heartfelt way: This is not the meat fragrance is attractive, it is the socialist canteen that attracts people.
I didn't bother to talk much to this kind of Wang Ba calf, so I took my share with Pudding Sister and Gu Nianxia, and then sat quietly by the lake to eat, as for the socialist canteen at the other end...... It's still love.
Everyone sat around and chatted while eating.
Zhou Boren sighed: "Alas, it's been four days, and there is still no harvest at all, and there is no way to go on like this." ”
Uncle Yang frowned and said, "Old man, are you thinking about it carefully, did we make a mistake?" ”
The old man put down the chopsticks in his hand, pondered for a few seconds, and said sadly, "What the hell is going on...... It stands to reason that it shouldn't, when we take the probe to check, will we miss something? ”
Feng Erbiao took over and said: "Old man, I don't like to hear you say this, the work tasks of the past four days are all arranged by you, and I, Feng Erbiao, dare to vouch for it with my head, I have checked every inch of soil in the range you said." Regarding this point, let's not brag, let's talk about the facts, but wherever the probe has been pierced, there are needle holes on the ground to testify, you can check it yourself, if you can find an inch of soil that has not been checked by me, I Feng Erbiao ate the soil on the spot, and I will do it! ”
When everyone heard Er Biao's words, they couldn't help sighing, and they were all silent. Although Er Biao is very arrogant, he is meticulous in his work. The range that the old man was referring to, he Feng Erbiao had checked countless backs and forths in the past four days, and he said that he had checked every inch of soil, and this sentence was really not a nonsense.
But then something happened......
Just when everyone was silent and sighing, sitting next to us, the eight-year-old Jia Dong suddenly burst out laughing, and everyone looked at him, feeling confused and inexplicable. What is this little doll laughing at?
Jia Dong smiled: "Brother Er Biao is going to eat soil!" ”
Everyone was shocked and hurriedly asked him, "Jia Dong, what do you mean?" Why do you say that Er Biao is going to eat soil? ”
Jia Dong said with a smile: "Brother Er Biao said it himself, if there is a place he misses, he will eat all the soil in that place!" ”
The old man's eyes widened like bull's eyes for a moment!
He asked Jia Dong in astonishment: "Where did he miss it?" ”
Jia Dong pointed to his side and said with a smile: "This is the lake!" ”
