The Curse of King Zhuang Chapter 7: Memories (I)

After the man left, the old man sat on the sofa and smoked a dry cigarette one by one, silently reciting "Song Ming...... Song? He fell into deep contemplation. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

In 1936, Li Wangcheng, who had not yet graduated from university, went to Bishan as an intern with the local archaeological team. There are also two people in the intern's team, Shi Aimin (the blind man's grandfather) and Song Guoqiang (Song Ming's father).

At that time, the situation was turbulent, the economy was depressed, and there was no financial support from the government, so a group of people gathered together to come to Bishan just for academic research and ambition.

At that time, Bishan had already been smashed by the Luoyang shovel. Several people wandered in the mountains for ten days, and everywhere they went were destroyed ancient imperial tombs, and the coffins and corpses of ancient people were all over the farmland, which was shocking.

Li Wangcheng sighed all the way: "These rats who dig holes wantonly destroy the relics of ancient civilization and defile the holy spirit of the ancestors, it is simply a loss of conscience!" ”

One night, they slept in the melon shed of the farmland, and faintly heard a girl crying in their sleep, and some people were so frightened that they curled up in the melon shed and did not dare to move.

I walked all the way to the tomb of King Zhuang and found that the sound came from the robbery hole at the bottom.

It was the autumn harvest season, and in the weeds next to the cemetery, the crickets kept screaming, and the lights kept moving, making a "stunned" sound. Song Guoqiang was a little timid, so he persuaded him: "Luoyang is evil, and Beibei is even more evil, I think it's better to forget it, right?" ”

Li Wangcheng was a little unhappy: "We are all engaged in academics, how can you be so superstitious!" This field is full of robbery holes, the villagers are inconvenient to farm, it must be a child who accidentally fell into it while playing, this is a matter of human life! ”

Shi Aimin also persuaded: "This person must be saved, it's too dark now, or it's dawn, right?" ”

"What's wrong with you? It's going to cost you a life at dawn! Li Wangcheng said indignantly, "You two are watching from above, I'll go down!" ”

After saying that, he bit the searchlight and climbed down the edge of the tomb, and the girl's cry came from the cave again, and the two of them stamped their feet around the edge of the cave, and their nerves were tense.

The wall of the robbery cave is smooth, can accommodate two people, and after hitting three meters deep vertically, it turns and obliquely drives into the ground, which is not done by manpower, and it is obvious that a gang of tomb robbers is excavated with large machinery.

Li Wangcheng slid all the way down the slope, and the girl's cry was getting closer and closer.

Suddenly, he stumbled and fell to the ground, shattering the glass cover of the searchlight in half.

Li Wangcheng stood up and rubbed his knees, picked up the searchlight, fortunately it could still be used, and took a photo, a corpse was lying on the ground horizontally, and then scolded: "You rats, you deserve to die!" ”

I don't know how long I walked, the slope became straighter, Li Wangcheng slipped under his feet, stepped into a pool of stagnant water, hurriedly retreated, rolled up his trouser legs, and stepped along the protruding edge.

It was pitch black in front of him, and a 90-degree corner appeared, and Li Wangcheng habitually turned around and shone with a searchlight first, which almost scared his guts.

Under the aperture of the searchlight, a miserable white face looked at him intently, and his hair was fluffy and disheveled. If it were an ordinary person, he would have been paralyzed on the ground in fright, Li Wangcheng has always been bold, but his legs are also soft, so he pretended to be calm and said: "Disturb the rest of the ancestors!" "Turn around and run.

Just ran two steps, and a little girl's voice came from behind him: "Brother...... I'm afraid, brother...... I want to go home. ”

The girl pleaded with tears, Li Wangcheng suddenly froze in place, and the man's instinctive desire to protect instantly burst out, and he silently recited in his mouth, "I, Li Wangcheng, don't go to hell, who will go to hell!" ”

He turned around and strode back, and when he reached the corner, he was ready to deal with the "ancestors".

Just now because of the extreme nervousness, he even became superstitious, this time Li Wangcheng used a searchlight to shine again, and the miserable white face was not an "ancestor", it turned out to be a living person!

I saw the girl with her hair scattered, fifteen or sixteen years old, ragged, curled up and leaning on the edge of a sarcophagus, her face pale under the circle of searchlights.

Li Wangcheng hurriedly stepped forward, picked up the girl, and comforted: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, my brother is here to save you!" ”

Holding the girl, Li Wangcheng did not forget to look back at the sarcophagus.

The lid of the coffin is open, the inside is empty, the side wall is carved with two tightly entangled pythons, the carving is excellent, although the dim underground can not see which age, but Li Wangcheng, who has professional knowledge, can be sure that it is more exquisite than the national first-class cultural relics after the Tang dragon and phoenix sarcophagus.

On the way out, when passing by the corpse, Li Wangcheng scolded again: "Be a mouse alive, and block the road when you die, it's really a lack of morality!" ”

Before the words fell, Li Wangcheng's eyes were attracted by a fragment of brocade silk next to the corpse, and he reached out to pick it up: "Huh? Eastern Zhou Bird Seal? Li Wangcheng shook his head to himself, he couldn't understand it, so he put it in his pocket casually.

Carrying the girl back to the entrance of the cave, Song Shi, who was already anxious, pulled Li Wangcheng up.

Shi Aimin breathed a sigh of relief: "I thought you were playing chess with your ancestors below!" ”

"If you don't have good chess skills, your ancestors won't stay!"

Li Wangcheng put down the girl and asked, "What's your name?" ”

The girl does not speak.

"Where do you live? Brother send you back! ”

The girl still didn't speak.

Song Guoqiang leaned on the girl's ear and said loudly, "Can you hear me?" ”

The girl nodded.

"You can't speak, do you know the way home?" Li Wangcheng felt some pity.

The girl nodded, turned around and ran down the terraces and into the village.

"Girl, slow down!" Li Wangcheng looked at the thieves all over the ground, and he was still a little worried.

I suddenly got goosebumps when I was shouting, and I thought, "No, who was the person who called me to save her in the cave just now?" ”
