Under the dim light, the old village chief was already drunk, and it seemed that he might be cut on the table at any time, and the little boy shook the old village chief's arm beside him: "Grandpa, you are drunk!" ”

"Nonsense, how can grandpa get drunk!" The old village chief stroked the little boy's head, but the first time his hand reached out of his head, and after two attempts, he touched the little boy's head, turned his head awkwardly and stared at Xu Yi and Tang Long and said, "Do you say it's true!" ”

"Yes, the old village chief really has a good amount of wine, drink another bowl." Xu Yi complimented, and as he spoke, he filled the old village chief's empty bowl with wine.

The old village chief is already drunk, this may be the best time, it is difficult to say if he waits, and I don't know if the old village chief will cut off his head and stay drunk and not sleep.

"Village chief, I see that everyone in the village is nervous, what is going on?" Xu Yi felt that the time had come, and asked with raised eyebrows at this time.

"Don't say it, don't say it, it's going to scare you to death if you say it." The old village chief shook his hands, and his body shook.

Xu Yi smiled: "What can't be said, it can't be that a villager killed someone and set fire, right?" The old village chief's words stopped talking, but Xu Yi saw that he didn't say anything, so he had a preconceived idea, which stimulated the old village chief.

The room was quiet, and it was certain that the two heroines had fallen asleep, and the little boy was in high spirits, eating meat, and looking at the drunken grandfather with a smile.

"No, no, no." The little boy shook the old chief's arm and shouted, "Tell them about the death of the crazy old man, no one kills!" ”

Xu Yi secretly shouted in his heart that there was a door, and things were about to take a turn for the better.

The old village chief smiled and patted his little grandson's head and said, "Okay, grandpa said!" ”

After the old village chief finished speaking, he turned his head to Xu Yi and smiled: "Tong Yan is unscrupulous, don't be surprised, in fact, there is nothing wrong, something happened in the village, and some people die and have lives." ”

"Birth, old age, sickness and death, isn't this something that happens every day!" Xu Yi was surprised, this matter was not new at all, and it was not worth keeping as a secret.

The old village chief shook his head and finally ate a mouthful of food, but it was not eaten with chopsticks, but by the little boy with two fingers and handed it into his mouth to eat.

The old village chief's head shook like a rattle, took a sip of wine, swallowed the food in his mouth, and said, "No, no, no, it's not an ordinary birth, old age, sickness and death. ”

"Oh!" Xu Yi frowned, leaned forward, expressed his willingness to hear the details, and motioned to the old village chief to continue.

Under the influence of alcohol, the vigilance of the old village chief was relaxed, and the two people sitting opposite were no longer strange visitors, but familiar drinking friends.

The drunken old village chief, whose ability to tell stories is still intact, told from the beginning: "Mo Shang Village, in the past, was very calm, the people in the mountains lived a life of coarse tea and light food, and it has always been, until in recent years, for the first time, a group of strangers came, who looked very knowledgeable, and after wandering around the mountains for a few days, they left with a smile on their faces, and since then strangers have continued to come here, but I don't know what they do, until the first time, a few people entered the village, and asked where the people who had been here before went, But no one knew that they asked Old Man Mo Dou again, and he knew that under the circumstance of lure, they asked Old Man Mo Dou to lead the way, and Mo Dou really led the way. ”

The beginning of the story seemed to be very long, but neither Xu Yi nor Tang Long was willing to interrupt the old village chief's narration, so as not to wake up the old village chief's wine and end the narration.

Xu Yi and Tang Long nodded frequently, silently, and listened carefully to the story.

The old village chief seemed to be thirsty, and after a passage, he took another sip of wine and continued: "Since that time, Mo Dou and the villagers have known what those people are doing, they are all tomb robbers, and they found ancient tombs in the mountains, and Mo Dou has become popular since then, and people continue to ask him to lead the way, because Mo Dou has also made a small fortune." ”

"How did Mo Dou know the way, did the tomb robbers succeed?" Xu Yi couldn't help but ask.

The old village chief shook his head and sighed: "No one knows how the old man Mo Dou knows the way, but the tomb robbers are not always successful, sometimes the food is gone, and they come back empty-handed, and sometimes they leave overnight, and no one knows whether they succeed or not." ”

Xu Yi smiled and added more drinks to the old village chief, intending to continue with the old village chief.

The old village chief greeted Xu Yi's wine with a smile, and then continued: "I can't remember how many batches of people came, but the last time was about this month, and that time was the same as before, Mo Dou took five people into the mountain, but only Mo Dou came back, and the rest of the people left overnight when they heard him say it." ”

After talking for a long time, the old village chief drank a few sips of wine, and his amount of alcohol was really not ordinary, Xu Yi began to worry that if he drank it like this, would the old village chief's old bones be folded on this wine, so he deliberately asked him to speed up and go to sleep after speaking.

"Village chief, what does this have to do with life and death?" Xu Yi frowned and wondered, he was stimulating the old village chief to talk about the ending.

The old village chief shook his head: "No, a few days later, I don't remember the specific time, Mo Dou was crazy, talking nonsense, everyone knew that the original five people did not come out at all, but all died, at this time the old man Mo Dou took out a bronze tripod, carried it into the city, and then came back with 100,000 yuan, then everyone knew that Mo Dou got back the cultural relics and sold them for 100,000 yuan, when Mo Dou was happy about his income, the old man Mo Dou suddenly died inexplicably at night. ”

When the old village chief talks about this, it should be the death of birth, old age, sickness and death, so what about life?

Xu Shu and Tang Long didn't intervene at the moment, death was over, and life was fast.

The old village chief continued: "Mo Dou died, and a group of people appeared in the village, saying that it was an archaeological team, and there were nearly 20 people in a team. ”

"They're here to excavate the tombs?" Xu Yi asked, thinking at the same time that there should be Xu Shu in the team.

The old village chief nodded: "But the archaeological team couldn't find the ancient tomb, they came to find Mo Dou to lead the way, but unfortunately, Mo Dou was already dead, so he had to let his son lead the way." ”

"It's not just Mo Dou who knows the location of the ancient tomb, but also his son?" Xu Yi asked.

The old village chief shook his head: "He doesn't know, he has never been there, but I don't know how the people of the archaeological team trust him so much, when they left, Mo Dou's son A Liang told his family that before he came back, Mo Dou was not allowed to be buried, but a week has passed, it is strange to say, Mo Dou's body parked at home is not broken, but time passes day by day, there is no way to put a dead person at home, and after so long, Ah Liang has not come back, I don't know if he can come back, the family decided, first disposed of Mo Dou's body and put it in the coffin, but Mo Dou sat up from the coffin, which frightened the villagers and ran away, but there was an elderly man in the village who was scared to death on the spot. ”
