I didn't sleep all night, and I was busy all morning. Sleepy bugs poured in. So the two washed their hands and faces. He fell asleep.

I don't know how long I've been asleep when I'm woken up by a knock on the door. Outside the door, he shouted: "When is it, I haven't gotten up yet." "

Needless to say, it was cousin Feng Lao Nong who came. So I opened my sleepy eyes and fumbled to open the door, and it was already dark.

"Have you eaten? You can really sleep! It's past eleven o'clock in the evening! Old farmer Feng said as he approached the house. Wu Feifei had already gotten up at this time and was getting dressed.

"Yo, why is one holding two knives, and one still has a monk bead hanging on it?" Feng Laonong lit the kerosene lamp, looked at the two of us and said.

So I told the story of the discovery of the iron box, but I concealed the part about stealing and cooking chickens. It is said that it was accidentally found under the earthen kang.

Feng Laonong took advantage of the light to take a look at the string of Buddha beads I brought, and his face seemed to move slightly. Then he looked at the two daggers again. After a while, he said: "This is a good thing, and the Buddha beads are a magic weapon to ward off evil spirits and exorcise demons." This ancient sword is even more of a sharp weapon, and you two boys can use it as a talisman when they fight in the future. "

I said, "We're still in the fight, but we don't have that idea, because the story you told us yesterday scared us half to death." "

"Ahem, you kid don't pretend to be me. You can't hide that little bit of gimmicks from me. Feng Lao Nong said.

Well, whatever you say is what you say. I'm not going to talk back to you anymore. I didn't have that much time to spare.

Feng Laonong glanced at the two of us, then lit a cigarette and said, "After I get up in the afternoon, I will prepare my things." In the luggage brought from Shaanxi a few years ago, the Luoyang shovel is still there, but there are a few sections missing, only more than ten meters long, and I will go to Pingyu to find someone to process a few more sections. But the ancient tomb in our broken village is estimated to be able to be discovered. As for the flashlights, I also prepared two. As he spoke, he took out two steamed sweet potatoes from the canvas bag at his feet. said: "I haven't eaten yet, one for each person, hurry up and eat." After eating, let's go to the ancient tomb tonight while it is dark."

"Isn't it, just these two things? Let us work with hard work, and we can't be so stingy! At that time, Zhou Papi had to let the long-term workers eat enough to work," I said with a smile.

"Haha! I knew you kid was going to say that. Then he took out another bottle of liquor from his bag, and half a rabbit came. The hares that I caught in the field a few days ago, and the wine that the old man hid, I am satisfied with it this time."

When I looked at it, it turned out to be a square bottle of Yongle fairy wine. This kid is really willing to spend the money! This kind of dish will only be taken out and drunk when guests come to the house during the Chinese New Year!

So you're welcome, and Wu Feifei has a sweet potato and eats salted rabbit meat. Each took a few more sips into the bottle. After a full meal. He put out the oil lamp, picked up his canvas bag, closed the door, and walked towards the river behind the village.

Along the way, only a few dog barks were heard occasionally in the village. There was no other sound. There is no electricity in the countryside and no nightlife like in the city. Ordinary people usually eat at seven o'clock and go to sleep. So I didn't meet anyone along the way. Smoothly came to the river, where the old man caught the golden rooster.

Feng Laonong took out the Luoyang shovel from his bag, installed two sections of casing, handed it to me, and said: "Hold the casing tightly, insert the shovel head into the ground, and then insert it hard, if you can't plug it in, just lift it up, and then go deeper and deeper little by little, understand?" It's like hammering nails, change the strength, and then go down. The pipe is not long enough, so I will take a few more sections, and after three sections, don't fight, and wait until I come back to see the soil and then play."

"Isn't it, brother, are you willing to leave this glorious task to me? So what are you doing? What are you doing watching me? I said reluctantly. This kind of physical work, let me do it. You're cunning old boy, too. I cursed in my heart.

Feng Lao Nong glanced at me and said, "Don't be verbose, hurry up, Lao Fan and I are going to explore the surroundings and step on a few shovels."

couldn't help but break up, and after throwing me a flashlight, he pulled Wu Feifei to inquire elsewhere.

I cursed in my heart. And he threw himself down, shoveling. After hundreds of hits, the outer layer of hard soil was finally penetrated, and the shovel went down more than two meters at this time. So he picked up the sleeve and went down one by one.

Because the bottom was full of damp soil, the third quarter played smoothly, and it only took a while to completely score the third quarter. Seeing that they hadn't come back yet, I sat down on the ground and smoked a cigarette. I had just pulled half of it, and some light came through from behind the weeds. It turned out that the old farmer and Wu Feifei had come back from investigation.

Feng Laonong looked at the Luoyang shovel and said with a smile: "You kid is quite neat, you have the talent to fight backwards." "

I was choking on exhaustion when I heard my cousin's words of ridicule or praise. So he also replied: "You old boy is less, let's see how it goes, okay?" "

Old farmer Feng picked up the shovel and looked at the soil. said: "Continue to hit down, every half a meter, bring up to see the soil." "

I was about to get up and shovel down. Feng Lao Nong said with a smile: "Yo, you are quite revolutionary, I said let Lao Fan continue to fight, you go to rest for a while, and volunteer" After speaking, he handed the shovel to Lao Fan. I lit a cigarette and ignored him. Sit by and watch the two of them.

Lao Fan took the shovel and started fighting, and every time he hit the depth of half a pipe, he lifted it to see, and it took about an hour to fight. More than a dozen pipes were all finished. However, every time Feng Laonong looked at the soil he brought out, he said no.

Lao Fan dismantled the Luoyang shovel section by section, and Feng Lao Nong kicked the soil with his foot around, and then stepped on it a few times, and said: "Let's go, go to the next point, start from here, and hit a point every two meters in the future." All the way to the edge of the ditch."

This place is a full 100 meters from the edge of the ditch, and two meters to hit a point, that is, to hit at least 50 points. That's not exhausting people to death. I hurriedly asked, "You knew yesterday that you were going to fight from this section, if you can't get out, then you won't tire people to death?" "

Feng Laonong smiled and said, "Boy, don't you understand? This is the only flat land by the river, and it is a little higher than the other land, it is the land of the wind, and the riverside is called the smooth water. A place where the wind and water are smooth is called a feng shui treasure land, which is suitable for building tombs. Just now we walked around again, and concluded that only on this piece of land would the high-ranking officials and nobles of the past be buried. Buried in such a feng shui tomb, although the descendants of the deceased cannot become dragons and phoenixes, they can also enjoy the blessings of several lifetimes. It seems that the owner of this tomb was not very strong at that time, otherwise he would have gone to the treasure land with the breath of the dragon vein to be buried" and then added: "My Feng Lao Nong has also learned some real skills in the few months I have been in Shaanxi, but it is also a strange thing that there are so many old mulberry trees around this tomb." According to common sense, the front is not planted mulberry, and the back is not planted. Although this tomb is very old, the three people of this old mulberry tree can't hold it together, and the trunk is still covered with red veins. I'm afraid it's thousands of years old. When the tomb is repaired, the tree should be there, and the tree should not be cut down to repair the tomb. But it's also a little weird."

As he spoke, he personally picked up the Luoyang shovel and hit it according to the optimistic point. My cousin is really not boasting, it took me a lot of effort just now, and it took me an hour of hard work to make a hole. I saw that the Luoyang shovel in the old boy's hand was like a chicken eating rice. With just two cigarettes, the shovel was completely punched in. And the second hole is not good.

So the three of us turned over and hit more than 30 holes in succession. However, after connecting the thirteenth casing, just half of it was inserted, and it could no longer be driven.

Hurriedly brought out the Luoyang shovel, only to see that the soil lifted up was completely two colors, and the upper part was yellow clay. The lower part is a mixture of yellow and black soil. And the head of the Luoyang shovel is still stained with a little stone powder.
