Chapter 123: 100 meters below
The plate containing the peanuts disappeared in an instant, I heard a slight noise, and immediately stuck the wall with a chisel, there was a crack in the wall, and the black bump also inserted a steel chisel into it, and we worked together to pry, only to hear a "click" sound, half of the wall of the study actually collapsed, and then, we noticed, the ground behind the wall actually revealed a black hole......
I covered my mouth and nose, lit a candle and threw it in, the candle flame flickered on and off, but fortunately it was not extinguished, there was plenty of oxygen in this cave.
Black Pimple and I each took a pickaxe and steel drill as a weapon, and drilled into the hole with a flashlight, down a stone staircase, covered with moss, I don't know how many years I have been lying in the dark, the stone walls on both sides are obviously chiseled, and the moisture makes people feel cold.
We walked down the stairs for more than ten minutes to reach the end of the steps, and we calculated that we should have been more than 100 meters from the ground - could it be that this is where the "rich gentry" really hides his treasure?
I noticed scratches on the nearby walls and steps, and in some places they were badly damaged, and the slag fell off when I touched it.
There are also some broken pottery tiles scattered on the ground, just pick up one and look at it, it looks like an antiquity, in the meantime, occasionally pick up two or three painting scrolls, unfold and take a look, although it is dilapidated and damaged, but the ancient meaning is faint, it should not be ordinary.
Black Pimple was happy and grabbed my arm, "Brother, we, we're developed this time, God is still in love, my dad bought this house, it's really a treasure place!" ”
Walking further, we suddenly saw two long iron chains on the ground, and we dragged them, and they were very heavy, and the lock at one end had been broken, and the other end had been stretched forward, and I didn't know where the end was, and what was being tied to it.
We groped our way in the direction of the chains, and after seven or eight minutes we finally reached the end of the road, where two thick stone doors were blocked, the other end of which was tied to the knocker. We tried to pull up the knocker, but the stone door was so heavy that we tried to nurse, and the door had just moved a few inches.
Fortunately, the stone door had already been opened outward, leaving a gap in the middle at this moment, just enough for a person to get in and out, and the black pimple was about to go inside, I grabbed him, "Wait, what's under your feet?" ”
The black pimple lifted his legs, shone it with a flashlight, and couldn't help but gasp, there was a bloody mess, it was the big mouse just now, but now the belly has been cut open by some sharp weapon, the intestines are still squirming, and the limbs are still twitching, and its appearance is extremely miserable.
I told the black pimple, we need to be careful, I don't know what was tied to those two chains, and now that they have broken free, they may be hiding in the shadows, preparing to give us a sneak attack.
The black pimple looked at the dying mouse on the ground, his face changed slightly, and he held the steel drill in his hand tighter.
We got into the crack of the door, and suddenly opened up in front of us, the original narrow dark passage has become wide and bright, and extends in all directions, more than a dozen passages extend in all directions, and there are many ancient pottery calligraphy and paintings sprinkled on the ground, but they are all seriously damaged, and most of them are new stubble and new mouths, obviously just damaged by the two "ghosts".
I picked up one of the jade bowls that was still intact, and when I shone it with a flashlight, I saw that it contained emerald dripping, clean and flawless, faintly seemed to have fluorescent flow, although I didn't know it, but at first glance it was a rare treasure, and handed it to the black pimple, "Do you recognize it?" ”
He shook his head, "I'm sure I'll be able to sell them for a good buck." ”
I was about to speak, when I suddenly felt something approaching behind me, and turning around was a counter-kick, and at the same time the pickaxe in my hand was also picked out, but I heard a scream, and one person had been rolled to the ground by my foot, it was the big liar Huang Shizhong.
He covered the high and swollen half of his face, ignoring his pain, first scratched the scattered pottery shards on the ground, almost with a crying voice, "What a good thing, it was ruined like this, it really hurts me, it hurts me!" ”
The black pimple pressed the steel drill against his chest, "How the did you get in?" ”
"As soon as I knocked on the door, your old man opened the ...... for me," Huang Shizhong said, "I was thinking about discussing with you about doing 'business' again......" Before he finished speaking, his eyes suddenly widened, pointing straight ahead, "What's that?!" ”
I hurriedly shone the flashlight forward, and the black pimple also withdrew the steel drill and was on guard, but I didn't expect Huang Shizhong to roll on the spot and escape three or five meters, and then jumped up and ran, and when we wanted to chase again, he had disappeared into the depths of the corner......
Black Pimple and I stopped in front of a dozen forks in the hole, unsure which one was the way to live and which one was the way to die, and at the same time worried that once it was a maze inside, maybe we would be bored in it and never be able to turn out, but Black Pimple thought of a stupid way to drag a chain and walked forward, so that even if we got lost, we could find the original place along the chain, which was a good idea.
Although the chain is not thick, it is also hundreds of meters long, so it is very heavy, fortunately we both have a lot of strength, and it is not very difficult to drag down in turn, just like that, we walked in front, and the chain "swished" in the back, causing a cold echo in the tunnel, which made people feel chills in the bottom of their hearts.
The more I go forward, the wider it is, and finally I come to a space 20 meters long and wide, I calculate the direction, this should be under the main house, only to see the pottery jade plates stacked into a mountain, ancient calligraphy and painting shops all over the place, a good "treasure" place!
The black pimple's eyes were straight, "No wonder the children and grandchildren of the 'old rich man' can't dig anything, this buried in the ground is 100 meters underground, and they can't dig so deep in the well!" ”
Black Pimple regrets it - the bag on his body is too small, I'm afraid I won't be able to get much up at a time, do you want me to go back to the city and hire a trailer?
I said, "Go ahead, I don't know how many eyes are staring at us outside, it is estimated that most of them are national treasure-level cultural relics, if you are caught, you will have to be sentenced to a few years at the lightest, which is not bad, and there will be a place to live in the future......"
The black pimple was so angry that he stomped his feet, "You said that the 'old rich man' is really evil, isn't it good to keep Wanguan's family wealth as gold and silver?" I have to replace it with antiques, which not only occupies space, but also makes it difficult to toss out! ”
As we spoke, we walked to the center, and when we saw what was in front of us, there seemed to be a strong flame of hope in the eyes of the black pimple - there was a stone platform there, on which stood a large antique box, with a thick layer of ash and no lock, and the black pimple took a deep breath before opening the lid, "God willing, let our brothers really get some benefits!" Good luck, see gold and silver! On-"
We were all very vigilant, as soon as the lid of the box was opened, we immediately shrank down, and after waiting for a while, we didn't see any hidden weapons flying out, so we cautiously poked our heads out, and when we looked into the box, we were stupid -
