Xu Shu couldn't tell Ah Liang the answer for sure, so he could only guess and tell him: "It's not good to say now, maybe I just want to come back and see." ”

Talking about Mo Dou with Ah Liang before, Xu Shu didn't ask about what happened after Mo Dou returned from the mountain, and he couldn't sleep tonight because of the return of the dead soul, so he simply had a good chat with Ah Liang and learned more about Mo Dou's life.

Xu Shu asked Ah Liang, who was thinking about things in silence, and said, "Brother Liang, what happened after Old Man Mo came back from the mountains with people, especially after bringing back the bronzes?" ”

Ah Liang sighed and recalled: "Actually, there is nothing special, the first few times, every time I came back, Mo Dou just sighed in vain, until the previous time, my father came back and brought back a bronze tripod, which is considered a harvest, my father values the bronze tripod very much, I believe that it can be sold at a high price, but after I came back, I found that he was not reluctant, I inquired, only to know that the five people he took were actually not alive." ”

"No one survived?" After Xu Shu heard this, he was really surprised, this information was the first time he had heard it.

Ah Liang said again: "Because the people he brought with him are all dead, and my father is afraid that he will be found out and cause trouble to himself, so he has not told the truth. ”

"Is there anything else besides the bronze tripod?" Xu Shu tried to ask to see if Ah Liang knew about the existence of the three fragments.

Ah Liang shook his head: "No, the father of the bronze tripod is not allowed to see it, I took advantage of his inattention and secretly looked at it, there are no words on the bronze tripod, there is no pattern, and I can't see any information." ”

Xu Shu glanced at the achievement, and the bronze tripod that Ah Liang saw was the one that Mo Dou sold to the achievement.

"Did the old man talk nonsense when he came back?" Xu Shu did not characterize Mo Dou as crazy, which can be regarded as respect for the deceased.

Ah nodded: "Since that time when he brought back the bronze tripod, my father began to talk nonsense, looking like he was crazy, so everyone in the village said that he was crazy, and some people said in private that this was the result of Mo Dou's self-inflicted efforts, lack of morality, and took people to dig people's graves." ”

Xu Shu did not comment on this statement.

"But a few days ago, my father secretly ran out, took away the bronze tripod, and brought back 100,000 yuan when he came back, and then died at home two days later." Ah Liang felt more and more at this time that his father's death was directly related to the bronze tripod.

Xu Shu respects the old man Mo Dou, especially now, but he wants to help him, and asks Ah Liang: "Ah Liang, what did the old man say before his death, so that people said that he was crazy behind his back?" ”

"Bronze coffin, coffin array, ghost nest...... It's all nonsense. Ah Liang shook his head and sighed, "I often look very scared, and hide under the bed." ”

Previously, Mo Dou, the only one in Mo Shang Village who knew about the tomb in the mountains, is now ancient, and Zhang Hongjun also asked Mo Dou to lead the way, but now I am afraid that he will have to go home.

Xu Shu asked Ah Liang: "Do you know the way into the mountain?" Did the old man tell you? ”

Ah Liang shook his head decisively: "I don't know, he will never tell me this, the people in the mountains are poor, but my father doesn't want to follow his old path, which makes people poke their backbones and scold them for lacking yin virtue." ”

People in the mountains may not know that it is illegal to do this, but they know that it is not good and lacks morality.

In this way, the route into the mountain, the location of the tomb became a mystery for a while, and Zhang Hongjun ran away in vain.

Xu Shu looked at the scene, in front of Mo Dayong's house, in the middle of the night, I heard that Master Mo had come back, and he was curious to see the lively crowd in the crowd, and they all gathered on the pingzi.

Xu Shu glanced at each other, and said to Ah Liang: "Did the old man hand over anything to you, and did you find anything in the relics?" Like a picture, like a piece of text? ”

"No, the mountain man didn't have the opportunity to read at all earlier, and his old man didn't know a few words at all." Ah Liang said that he couldn't see that he would hide Xu Shu, and he was a very honest person.

Xu Shu glanced at everyone, this trouble, Nanfeng and Xu Hong were embarrassed, the two girls were looked at by a group of people in their pajamas, and asked what happened.

Fortunately, the pajamas are tightly worn and loose.

"Brother Liang, take us to the old man's house to have a look?" Out of respect for Old Man Mo Dou, Xu Shu asked for Ah Liang's consent.

Ah Liang also wanted to find out what was going on with the old man's death, and the truth may be the greatest respect for the old man, so he hesitated for a moment, and then nodded.

"Let's go and see." Xu Shu said softly to Ah Liang, and then subconsciously glanced at the people of the archaeological team.

Ah nodded, led the way, Xu Shu and the results followed, and the three of them quietly returned to Ah Liang's home.

Although it is in the mountains, the ancient land range of Nanyue has long been sinicized, and the customs and burial customs are no different from those of people outside. The body of the old man Mo Dou was parked in the main hall and cared for by his family, in order to prevent the body from being attacked by pests such as rats.

It was dark in the adobe house, and there were no lights on at night.

Enter the old man's room and turn on the light, although it is a dim light, it is like a bright sun in this dark space.

As soon as the lights turned on, Xu Shu was startled, there was nothing left in the room, it had been cleaned up, and only the four walls were still standing.

"Brother Liang, where are the things in the house?" When Xu Shu came in before, there were still cabinets and beds in the room, and now even the floor has been cleaned.

Ah Liang spread his hands: "Our custom here, after the old man dies, the things he used during his life are thrown away or burned. ”

Xu Shu was surprised, this is similar to his hometown, he didn't expect this one earlier, it seems that it is too late.

"Everything?" Xu Shu was looking forward to something falling.

Ah Liang shook his head: "No, the bed has not been burned, it is used in the hall." ”

Xu Shu understood, the bed where the old man who was parked in the hall was lying was the original bed, Xu Shu relaxed a little, but he didn't know if he would leave useful information.

Xu Shu checked the wall and the ground, the adobe wall was originally plastered with a layer of lime, but it was very thin, after a long time, the pieces peeled off, revealing the soil layer, and the possibility of leaving something on the wall was extremely small, and then looked at the ground, although it was paved with a layer of cement, the smoothness was extremely poor, and it was damp, and nothing could be seen.

Back in the hall, the old man lay quietly on the bedboard, and there was a pile of ashes left by the incineration of the paper at the head of the bed.

The old man's bed is very simple, two benches, and a few bed boards on it.

Xu Shu lowered his head and approached, he was not afraid of the corpse, and after checking it, he found nothing.

"Hide under the bed!" Xu Shu muttered, and suddenly bent down to look under the bed, and in the dim light, he could vaguely see some log-colored lines.

"Brother Liang, give me a flashlight." Xu Shu stretched out his hand to Ah Liang at this time and said.

Ah Liang took the flashlight when he got up, and handed it to Xu Shu at this time, Xu Shu got the flashlight, lit it up and shone it under the bed board, and couldn't help laughing, but not too much, after all, this is a bed where a dead man is lying.

"Brother Liang, there is information, under the bedboard." Xu Shu straightened up and said to Ah Liang.
