As the sun sets, in the village of the village chief Wang, around a stone round table, a group of children are sitting, an old man with a gray beard sits on the main seat, a wine gourd, a stack of peanuts on the table, and the children are listening to the old man tell the legendary stories of the village.

This story is not very old, but it is still far from the age of the children.
That year, the people in Aidong Village suffered for days, and the rice seeds, corn and other crops planted were all killed by drought, and the weather was dry and hot, and the people could not stand it.
In the village, there is a peasant family, but in the village is a well-known lazy man, named Zhang Han, who is thirty years old, and has not yet married a daughter-in-law. And the two acres of land at home are deserted.
On this day, Zhang Han sat at the door of his house, smoking dry cigarettes, his eyes closed, not to mention intoxicated.
At this time, several strangers came to his house, one of them wore a black blindfold, obviously one eye, wearing a blue coat, carrying a package on his back, and two people behind him, both wearing black robes, and the two came to Zhang Han's house.
One eye said in a rough voice: "I don't know if there is a place at home, the brothers want to find a place to live, can it be convenient." ”
Zhang Han was originally penniless, and when he heard that someone wanted to live in his own home, of course, he had a little idea of getting rich, so he agreed with a smile and said: "There is a place, there is a place, but you have to take some money." ”
One eye nodded, touched a blue cloth bag hanging on his waist, took out a few tickets, and handed them to Zhang Han, Zhang Han saw the money at this time, of course, his face was full of joy, Zhang Han said secretly: "I can eat good wine again tonight, come to his jar of daughter red." ”
This Zhang Han is not only a smoker, but also a drunkard, although he is lazy and lazy, but his body is indeed strong, Zhang Han led the three of them to a side room, the one eye is a frown, said: "I gave you those tickets, you let me live here?" ”
Zhang Han hurriedly smiled: "There is really no good room, a few generals will live for a while." ”
The one-eyed put the burden behind him on a chair in the room, and said, "You go out first." ”
Zhang Han snorted, he carefully looked at a few people and the items they carried, only to see that there seemed to be a hard object in the baggage, and the three of them obviously had a big secret, so they wanted to separate themselves, Zhang Han pondered in his heart, and wanted to eavesdrop.
So he turned and went out, closed the door gently, and hid in a large vat at the back of the house, and closed the lid.
I heard the people in the house come out, look around, and then return to the house.
I only heard a whisper in the house: "Big brother, are you sure, it's in this village?" ”
The other eye said, "It's here, but on my way here, it's dry and rainless, and it seems that there are droughts hidden in the ground." ”
One of them said, "Big brother, you have traveled through the south and the north, and you have seen more than us, are you afraid of this little thing?" ”
One eye said: "Back then, I met a hundred-year-old meat dumpling, blinded me in one eye, if there is a drought here, you and I must be careful." ”
Zhang Han was a little confused when he eavesdropped inside, and said in his heart: "What are these people doing?" ”
The one eye said: "Rest here tonight, eat some good wine and food, and prepare to start work tomorrow, bring good guys,
Zhang Han had a plan in his heart at this time, so he secretly climbed out of the vat, pretended to be nothing and sat down in the courtyard, smoking a dry cigarette, while thinking that he would follow these people tomorrow to see what they were going to do.
That night, the three of them did not go out of the house, Zhang Han was addicted to good wine and meat, and on the second day, he got up early and waited for the three people, but the three people still did not move, and waited until the evening, and the three of them went out of the room, which made Zhang Han a little confused, but Zhang Han still followed the three out of the door, he was in the dark, secretly followed, and the one eye said: "You must be careful tonight, the meat dumpling underground is afraid that it is very ruthless, it collects all the water and gas here, and hides it underground, According to the theory of the five elements, there must be great treasures underground. ”
At this time, Zhang Han listened, but he understood a little in his heart, these people are thieves who dig graves, but when he heard the treasure, he couldn't help but be excited in his heart, he cautiously followed behind a few people, for fear of being discovered by them, and walked a long way, this road is leading to a place outside the village called "sheep don't go", this place is rich in water and grass, but the people who raise sheep in the village never herd sheep here, it seems that there is a problem with grass and water here.
A few years ago, a family came here to graze their sheep, and when they came home, all the sheep died.
When Zhang Han was thinking, he only heard that one eye say, "It's the place." ”
Zhang Han secretly squatted in the grass that was more than one person tall nearby, peeping at the actions of the three people through the light of the bright moon, only to see that the three people took out three sharp shovel-like things that seemed to be shovels, and they were busy there, and kept saying with one eye: "You must be careful for a while, the things here are amazing, this salted fish is not easy to turn." ”
One of them said, "Boss, what are you afraid of?" ”
Zhang Han said anxiously: "How can I share this cup of soup, if the treasure in it is taken away by these people, and I don't have my share, but it's not fair, since they live in my house, they will give me benefits." ”
Zhang Han was delicate at this time, and he was carefully observing their actions, but he suddenly found that when they dug deeper and deeper, what they dug out of the ground was no longer dry soil, but very wet soil, and the more they reached the bottom, the more wet it became.
And the soil layer reflected the moonlight and exuded a trace of white breath, just when one eye had just penetrated a thief hole, suddenly stretched out a hand from the thief hole, the hand was extremely wet, it seemed to be swollen by the blister, and directly grabbed the heel of the left leg of one eye, that thing was so powerful that it was intimidating.
One eye panicked and shouted, "Help." ”
The two hurriedly stepped forward to help, and used the tool that seemed to be a shovel or a shovel to hit the hand, but the strength of that hand was so great that it had pulled one of the legs of one eye into the thief hole, only listening to the screams of one eye, the other two had no choice, threw away the utensils in their hands, and pulled one eye, and the three of them worked together, but they were not as strong as the thing, and suddenly a burst of white gas rose, and the three of them disappeared into the white gas at once, at this time, only the tools brought by the three people were left on the ground, And a hand sticking out of the thief's hole.
Zhang Han saw that he was already scared of the farts and urine here, and hurriedly ran home, along the way, ran away from a shoe, and it was already the second half of the night when he arrived at home, he found a pot of water, drank it slowly, and said in his heart: "This is absolutely impossible to go again, if you go again, I am afraid that I will lose my life, but the treasure of the ground." ”
As soon as he thought of the treasure, Zhang Han's heart was a little itchy, and he was ruthless, and decided to find a good life and go to "sheep don't go" again.
But it is indeed a dangerous business to go by yourself, you can't pass the pass of that hand, not to mention the treasure that can't be touched, Zhang Han has a plan in his heart at this time, that thing must be a monster, find that Qiao Banxian in the village, and it will be over. Thinking of this, he drank another glass of water, as if tasting fine wine, and fell asleep on the bed.
That Qiao Banxian is also a little famous in the village, and any nearby village comes to him when something happens, and Qiao Banxian also knows a little about traditional Chinese medicine, so he really cured many villagers' strange diseases.
Qiao Banxian's ancestor can be said to be a god-level figure, and after fighting with others, not only lost his family business, but also lost his bones, leaving a lone seedling of Qiao Banxian, and Qiao Banxian's craftsmanship is still one day and one place compared with his ancestors. Since then, the Qiao family has not turned over, and the descendants and heirs are all poor.
On this day, Qiao Banxian was sitting on the kang at home, coiling the beads, the beads had been polished and shiny, and he closed his eyes and hummed a small song. At this moment, there was a knock on the door, knock knock.
Qiao Banxian got off the ground when he heard the sound, opened the door, and saw Zhang Handui standing at the door with a smile, carrying a white chicken and a bottle of rice wine in his hand, Qiao Banxian was a little strange, this Zhang Han was lazy to do, and he also had a fight with himself, how could he take a white chicken and a bottle of rice wine to visit him for no reason.
This Zhang Han also understands that Qiao Banxian usually treats people and deals with some strange things to get some money, how can there be so many patients and strange things to show him on weekdays, so he is still poor and can't eat.
Zhang Han smiled and said, "There is a big business, do you want to do it?" If I don't do it, I'll go back. ”
When Qiao Banxian heard this, although there were some differences in his heart, as soon as he heard the big business, he still nodded and let Zhang Han come to the house, Zhang Han smiled and said: "Look, I didn't eat when I came, let's have two cups and talk about cooperation, as long as this ticket is done, I will ensure that we will eat and drink spicy food in the future." ”
Qiao Banxian said: "Don't come to me to eat and drink, I don't have anything at home." ”
Zhang Han raised the white chicken in his hand with one hand and said, "Isn't this sincerity enough?" ”
Qiao Banxian looked at the white chicken, saliva flowed out, and said, "Okay." ”
At the time of a stick of incense, the two cleaned up the white chicken, made a plate of peanuts, scalded the rice wine with warm water, and sat on the kang, around a small square table, and talked.
Zhang Han unceremoniously picked up a chicken thigh, took a bite, and said, "Sir, have you ever heard of a drought?" ”
That Qiao Banxian took a sip of rice wine, frowned, and asked, "You mean drought?" ”
Zhang Han said: "Yes, it's a drought." ”
Qiao Banxian was thoughtful and said, "Are you letting me get on the thief ship?" The dartfish is a product of the graveyard, you ask, what is this for? ”
Zhang Han took a sip of rice wine and said, "You and I will see if we can get rid of that drought." ”
Qiao Banxian said: "It's not easy to get rid of the drought, it has to be burned with fire, or exposed to the sun, we can't deal with it in the shadows." ”
Zhang Han smiled and said, "That's why I came to you, let's work together, I found that there is a treasure in a place far away from our village, but there is this drought, it's not easy to get it." ”
Qiao Banxian's eyes lit up when he heard the baby, but when he thought that Zhang Han himself was lazy and lazy, he had a virtue with himself, and he was slightly stronger than him, so he asked, "Where did you get the news?" ”
Zhang Han smiled, bit on the chicken leg, and drank another glass of wine.
Qiao Banxian said anxiously: "You leave some for me." ”
Zhang Han pursed his lips and said, "You don't have to ask how you got the news, you don't have to cooperate with me." ”
Qiao Banxian nodded and took a bite of peanuts.
Zhang Han said: "A few days ago, there were a few thieves in my house, I got the news from them, they went to rob the tomb in the middle of the night, and they didn't touch the gold, but they touched a drought, which I saw with my own eyes. ”
Because Qiao Banxian's family is also poor, but no matter how the money comes from, he only thinks about how to get the treasure.
