Chapter 6 Little Snake Village
The voice became louder and louder, Jin Mercury slowly poked his head into the crack of the door, trying not to make a sound, he looked at it, he couldn't help but startle himself, only to see a person standing at the door, this person turned out to be Qiao An, he looked back at the kang, that Qiao An was sleeping soundly on the kang, why was there one standing outside the door? What the hell? And that Qiao An actually looked like himself, his face was a little weird, and suddenly he walked like the door, Jin Mercury was frightened, and wanted to wake up Zhang Xuqiu and Qiao An as soon as possible. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info But the Joan outside somehow, suddenly came in through the crack in the door, that weird scene, the frightened Jin Mercury sat on the ground, he didn't say a word, got up is a fist, hit Joan in the face, that Joan seemed unconscious.
Although Jin Mercury was a little fat, he was still agile in reaching out, and he punched a few more punches, and Qiao An suddenly returned his hand, and the two tore up, while Zhang Xuqiu, Qiao An, and Luo Beixi slept peacefully on the kang, without the slightest intention of waking up. Jin Mercury kicked Qiao An to the ground, and took out a lighter next to Qiao An, who was sleeping on the kang, just like that strange Qiao An lit it, this ignition didn't matter, that Qiao An burned instantly, and it turned out to be a paper man, that was a paper man burned for the dead, Jin Mercury was suddenly frightened.
He sat up, sweating profusely, only to see Qiao An staring at himself tightly, Jin Mercury waved his fist, Qiao An was facing one by one, Qiao An oops, Zhang Xuqiu and Luo Beixi woke up, and saw Qiao An being beaten by Jin Mercury, so they asked, "What's wrong with you two?" ”
Joan said: "I hit this kid, he, he seems to have fallen into evil." ”
Jin Mercury looked at himself and sat on the kang, it turned out that he had a nightmare, but this nightmare was too real.
Joan said, "Hello, you punched me. ”
Jin Mercury sweated and said, "Who told you not to sleep honestly, look at me." ”
Joan said, "I think we've fallen into evil. ”
Golden Mercury asked, "What?" ”
Joan said, "It's just a feeling. ”
Zhang Xuqiu asked, "What do you say?" ”
Qiao An said: "I think the old man we are looking at is a little weird, I have been thinking carefully, what is wrong, there is something behind the old man, do you feel it." ”
Zhang Xuqiu said: "It's none of my business, hurry up and go to sleep, and hurry tomorrow morning." ”
Joan nodded.
That night, the dogs in the village barked, and the four of them did not sleep very well, and the next day, the four of them found a carriage and headed for Little Snake Village.
This little snake village, the village is beautiful, but the distance is far, it belongs to the ravine, not to mention how poor the villagers are, some children, playing at the entrance of the village, the four of them came to the village, Jin Mercury asked one of the children: "Song Linlin lives there." ”
A few children pointed in the direction of the southwest and said, "That is the house." ”
Zhang Xuqiu said with a smile: "The residence of our two brothers is also troublesome. ”
Jin Mercury patted Zhang Xu Qiu's shoulder: "It's a friend or an outsider." ”
The four of them came to a dilapidated mud-tiled house, and outside the door sat a young woman weaving clothes on a wooden chair.
She was a little flustered when she saw four strangers coming to her yard, and Jin Mercury shouted, "Is it Cousin Song Linlin?" ”
When the woman heard that it was her cousin, her nervous expression became relaxed, and she said happily, "Is it my cousin?" ”
Golden Mercury nodded.
So the four of them entered the house together, and Song Linlin said, "Mom, look who's coming." ”
I saw an old man sitting on a clay kang in the house, she was looking at a book on the kang, it was a perpetual calendar, the old man looked at the golden mercury, and said, "You are Mercury." ”
Jin Mercury said, "It's me, I want to come here for a few days, auntie." ”
The old man nodded and said, "These are your friends, come and sit, but it's not peaceful here these days, you should be careful when you go out to play." ”
Song Linlin said: "Yes, there has been big news in the village recently, saying that the white snake has become a goblin, and it picks people to come and go as food and eats it." ”
Qiao An touched her face and asked, "Who spread this rumor, how can a snake become a goblin?" ”
Song Linlin said: "It's not a rumor, haven't you heard the news, a while ago, a 20-meter-long big white snake was found here, and then there were many tourists to look for it, this time it was angry, a few days ago, someone found a pile of white bones on the side of the road, the goddess in the village said that we provoked the white snake, he was taking revenge on us." ”
Qiao An smiled and said: "You can talk nonsense, I see this village, there are mountains and water, a piece of greenery, it is a good land, there are mountains to rely on, there is water as the source, green is vitality, it is a good land of feng shui." ”
Jin Mercury said: "My brother knows the secret art of feng shui. ”
Zhang Xuqiu was secretly surprised when he heard this, and asked quietly on the surface: "Brotherhood Feng Shui?" ”
Qiao An nodded, pretending to be modest, "It's just a little bit." ”
Zhang Xuqiu swallowed a mouthful of spit and said, "Brother Ji's talent, it shouldn't end up like this." ”
Jin Mercury said: "Brother, don't you know the reason, look at the antiquities that are out of sight, and the family is bankrupt." ”
Then the old man murmured, "Are you the ones who move the antiquities upside down, child?" ”
Jin Mercury said: "Auntie, he is a descendant of the Qiao family, why don't you know him." ”
The old woman looked at the descendants of the Qiao family carefully and said, "You are the king of thieves of the Qiao family, the descendant of Qiao Wanshan?" ”
As soon as the king of thieves of the Qiao family came out, he shook Zhang Xuqiu at that time, and said secretly: "Isn't this the same name as the king of the tomb of Xiangdong, the descendant of the king of thieves of the Qiao family?" This is a well-known figure in the tomb robbery industry. ”
Zhang Xuqiu didn't make a sound at this time, just listened to them.
Qiao An said: "Auntie, I was still young when I saw you, I haven't seen you for more than 20 years." ”
The old man said, "Eat first, and then eat." ”
There is nothing else in this village, but there are many snakes, chickens, and voles, and these three things have naturally become the meals on the plates of the people here.
Song Linlin was also in her twenties at this time, and she was even better at cooking, a plate of roasted snake meat, called flower chicken, cold side dishes, a plate of vole jerky, and home-brewed rice wine.
A few people gathered around a small table and ate it, not to mention how delicious the dishes in this little snake village were. At the dinner table, the old woman said to Qiao An: "Don't follow your father's example and do that kind of immoral thing." ”
Zhang Xuqiu said: "Alas, the old man's words are wrong, Brother Qiao's father, but he has made a lot of contributions to the development of archaeology." ”
The old woman said: "What to contribute, he dug other people's graves by himself, and threatened all over the world, calling himself the king of thieves, and there is no shame in it." ”
Song Linlin said: "Don't talk about my brother like that. ”
Jin Mercury also said: "Auntie, you can't say that, people are also forced, poor, you can't be poor for a lifetime, people always have to eat." ”
The old woman said, "You boys, to be honest, did you come here to do anything illegal, if it is illegal, I won't stay." ”
This old woman is very good, and that Zhang Xu Qiu is also an old man, laughed, and said: "You are so different, we are from the archaeological research station, you see, we still have documents." ”
After that, he took out a certificate, and the old man looked at it and said, "Are you an archaeologist?" ”
Zhang Xuqiu took a sip of rice wine and said: "The work permit is here, and the terms issued by the state are also there, do you always look at it." ”
The old woman was naturally persuaded by Zhang Xuqiu.
And Qiao An had some doubts in her heart at this time, could it be that these two people were really national archaeologists?
That Zhang Xu Qiu asked: "Can I ask, are there any monuments to be found in this vicinity?" ”
When Jin Mercury heard this, he also swallowed and foamed, and said secretly in his heart: "With these two guys here, how can we fight backwards." ”
The old woman had let down her guard at this time, and said, "Far away from the village, there is a stone monument, which people call the Fenglin Monument, but people say that it is an unlucky place, and at night, it is said, that the snake spirit will appear there. ”
Zhang Xuqiu asked, "In addition to the snake spirit, what else is peculiar about that Fenglin Monument?" ”
The old woman said: "I heard the old man say that it was a stone tablet erected by a long, long dynasty, and it seems to have been erected by the Tang Dynasty. ”
Zhang Xuqiu nodded, he glanced at Qiao An intentionally or unintentionally, Qiao An also glanced at Zhang Xuqiu, but Jin Mercury looked at the two of them, thinking about the origin of this Zhang Xu Qiu.
A few people were full of wine and food, and Zhang Xu Qiu wanted to go to the Fenglin Monument in the name of archaeology, and found Song Linlin as a guide.
Jin Mercury naturally can't let Zhang Xuqiu mess around, there may be a big fight in this monument, maybe he can get some benefits with the name of archaeology.
Qiao An tested Zhang Xuqiu for a moment and said, "Make a fire in the forest at night? ”
That Zhang Xu Qiu naturally understood people, and when he heard this pot, he smiled and said, "Brother Qiao, of course, of course." ”
The two of them secretly took a selfie at this time, and at this time, only Jin Mercury and Song Linlin were confused, thinking that they were having a picnic at the Fenglin Monument at night.
The four of them followed Song Linlin to this peak forest stele, this peak forest stele, there is a vermilion stele, the four corners of it are engraved with a snake-shaped pattern, and the middle is painted with white fuel three verticals, and this stele has been worn out by the feng shui rainforest, there is a towering ancient tree next to the stele, Song Linlin said: "This tree is tens of thousands of years old, it seems that in summer, this tree bears many green fruits like round balls." ”
Golden Mercury said, "There's nothing special here. ”
Zhang Xuqiu glanced at Qiao An and asked, "Brother Qiao, how do you talk about it." ”
Qiao An looked at the ancient tree and said, "There must be a lonely soul dwelling ahead. ”
Jin Mercury and Zhang Xuqiu were shocked, only Luo Beixi was expressionless, as if he was a ruthless killer. That Zhang Xu Qiu asked, "How do you say it?" ”
Qiao An looked around and said to Song Linlin: "You wait here with Brother Luo first, and I'll go over there with Brother Jin and Brother Zhang to talk." ”
Song Linlin nodded in agreement.
The three of them came to a forest not far away, Joan took out a cigarette, smoked it, and then said slowly, "Let's have a showdown." ”
That Zhang Xu Qiu laughed and said, "Since they are all old rivers and lakes, what else do you say, cooperate with each other, how about it." ”
Jin Mercury asked suspiciously, "When did you two have this kind of relationship?" ”
Zhang Xuqiu said: "It seems that this kid is still a chick and doesn't understand anything." ”
Qiao An smiled and said: "He is indeed a chick, how can my father also be a thief king, how much is he a little talented, you are also an old man on the road, and that Luo Beixi is not a good person." ”
Jin Mercury only realized at this time that this Lao Zhang was not an archaeologist at all, and he was also an inverted thief. And his heart was greatly relieved.
