Chapter 958: Thin Mud

According to the previous plan, everything went in an orderly manner, Uncle Lin Jiu and I brought the compass over, it is not very difficult to search this is not a large area, inside and outside the river near the river walked a few times, there was no result, after discussing it, we decided to expand the search area.

Uncle Lin Jiu was on the east bank of the river, and I was on the west bank of the river, looking for it all morning, and when my arm was about to sore, the compass in my hand finally changed.

This is a wasteland that has not been developed for a long time, it belongs to the cultivated land outside the cultivated land, it is close to the embankment, some relatively scattered ridges are scattered in between, the crops that were originally planted, because of the drought problem has been out of a state of self-destruction, I opened the crops, and I saw that the compass in my palm was shaking vigorously, and it seemed that there was indeed something very shady nearby.

After marking the place, I ran to the embankment to call Uncle Lin Jiu and the ghost who was having a good time, Uncle Lin Jiu said, the thing is below, it may be deep, the two of us are afraid that it will not work, we want to find the villagers to come, I nodded, and followed the old man back to the village.

When passing by a ridge, I saw an old-fashioned courtyard at the edge of the village, looking at the form, a bit like the common kind of temple in the north, I asked Uncle Lin why they haven't demolished the temple here, Uncle Lin Jiu heard this, turned his head to look, and said softly: "That's not a temple, it's the ancestral hall of my Lin family." ”

As soon as these words came out, I suddenly felt a little embarrassed, and I didn't know how to reply, but I saw a woman in her early fifties open the door and come out, the woman saw Uncle Lin Jiu, she was slightly stunned, and then closed the door and went back, I turned my head to look at Uncle Lin Jiu, and the old man shook his head helplessly, as if he was very miserable.

"Your sister?" I don't know why I'm asking.

"yes." Uncle Lin Jiu said, smiling bitterly.

"Is there any misunderstanding between you?" Lowering his head and thinking about it, I asked him a little eventually, and after hearing this, the old man also thought about it, and then turned his head to look at me, and said with a smile: "Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and it is not easy for everyone." ”

"Looks like it makes sense." Maybe I think this topic is a little dull, I quickly smiled, the other party heard the words, and also smiled ambiguously, in fact, some things are like this, since it has passed, why bother thinking too much.

After telling the village chief about our findings, the village chief seemed very excited, he rubbed his hands and asked what kind of help we needed, Uncle Nine said, there is no need for anything, just find a few men with quick hands and feet, after the other party heard it, he laughed at that time, while carrying his shoes and running out, shouting a few times, there were more than a dozen men in their early twenties running out with shovels and pickaxes, one by one, excited, not like to help us dig the pit, but like to go with us to rob the tomb and dig gold.

Doing this kind of thing, a lot of people is not necessarily a bad thing, young people, yang energy, the effect of getting together to suppress ghosts is obvious, and because of this, at least half of the schools in China are built on mass graves.

Uncle Lin Jiu and I have a different style of acting, before doing things, to mobilize, he stood on the stool, pinched his waist and explained to everyone some problems that need to be paid attention to, and then, invited the village chief comrade to go together, everyone listened, and responded positively, just like that, the three of them came back, took a little rest and ran back with a large group of people in Wuyang.

I followed the crowd while eating steamed buns, Xiao Nizi didn't know why, she was in a very good mood, seeing her like this, I teased a few words without words, and the ghost just followed me with a smile, not much, sometimes, I really can't understand this kind of quirky little girl.

There are so many people, I don't have to do it myself, watching a group of young men cut crops and work in the field, I just sat on the side and watched leisurely, at first, it was smooth, everyone dug down in the designated place, and there was no complaint about the nimble hands and feet, but after digging a big pit that could be more than two meters deep, I didn't see anything useful.

Some people muttered and asked if we had dug the wrong place, but Uncle Lin walked around, always thinking that his positioning was not wrong, and I also took out the compass to test it, and it felt that it coincided with Uncle Lin's positioning, but since there was no mistake in positioning, how could there be no warning at all?

Thinking in my heart, I couldn't help frowning, I squatted on the edge of the dirt pit that was already more than two meters deep and looked at the people below, when I suddenly heard an exclamation, followed by a young man who was a few years younger than me, and shouted in surprise: "Water! There is water! ”

"What?" The man who looked like the chief of the village said, and ran to the front with an excited face, and looked down as if he had found some useful treasure.

"Water! There's water down there! At this time, someone shouted excitedly.

Less than three meters into the ground, you can dig out the water, such a thing is really rare, standing aside, looking at it for a while, suddenly felt that there is a door to this matter, so he beckoned a few people below not to stop, continue to dig down.

As the depth increased, the soil below became wetter and wetter, and at first, there were some trickles that appeared from time to time, but when they dug up to about three meters, the feet of the people had already become that kind of soft mud-like thing.

Fearing the danger of this swamp-like soil, we had to find ropes to tie up a few people below in case they fell into the mud and died.

"Uncle Nine, what do you think?" Dipping a little bit of the mud from the basket on my finger, I sniffed it and asked Uncle Jiu, and the other party repeated the same action as me, frowning and thinking for a long time, and nodded: "It should be right, this is it." ”

"How deep do you think it will take to find something?" Walking to the edge of the pit again and looking, I turned my head and asked Uncle Nine, after hearing this, Uncle Nine shook his head and said, "Who knows?" Try to be as fast as possible and wait for the results. ”

While watching the lively old village chief listened to our words, he also knew that this matter should not be delayed for too long, so he walked to the edge of the pit to urge everyone to hurry up, but the mud is not the same as the soil, and it is very slow to clean up, seeing that the crops around are going to be flooded by these thin mud, the following few people have not yet taken out the bottom, the village chief sees that everyone is tired, so he wants people to rest and eat first, as soon as the voice fell, a young man who pulled the rope and climbed up suddenly "Huh", followed by a few stomps.
